Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 28 ESA / 202100421.00 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 mitigation measures, the cumulative impacts from implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in new or more severe cumulative impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts would therefore be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-28 to 17-29.) Impact C-BIO-1: The proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments, in combination with past, present, existing, approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects would result in less-than-significant cumulative impacts related to biological resources. Anticipated cumulative development would not have the potential to cause a substantial adverse change in significant biological resources due to the low existing habitat values within the DTPP area, including the Transit District area. The proposed Transit District Amendments would not result in new or more severe cumulative impacts on biological resources than the impact identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts would therefore be less than significant. No mitigation is required. (Draft SEIR, p. 17-29.) Impact C-GEO-1: The proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments, in combination with past, present, existing, approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects would result in less-than-significant cumulative impacts related to geology and soils. Other projects and developments being implemented in the area (either past, present, or future) would—or have already—complied with similar mitigation measures as the ones proposed as part of the proposed Transit District Amendments, and comply with the same existing laws and regulations that future developments allowed under the proposed Transit District Amendments will comply with. Therefore, the proposed Transit District Amendments would not result in new or more severe cumulative impacts related to geology and soils than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts from implementation of the proposed Transit District Amendments would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-29 to 17-30.) B. Findings Regarding Potentially Significant Impacts The following potential environmental impacts of the Transit District DTPP Amendments were determined to be potentially significant and to require mitigation measures to avoid their effects or to reduce their severity, as set forth in Chapter 7, Chapters 10 through 13, and Chapters 15 through 17 of the DSEIR, as incorporated into the FSEIR. The City Council concurs with the conclusions in the DSEIR, as incorporated into the FSEIR, and makes the following findings with respect to such potentially significant impacts. 7. Cultural and Historic Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources Impact CR-1: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measures CR-1 and NO-3 (FSEIR, pp. 7-18 to 7- 19) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP.
