Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 30 ESA / 202100421.00 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 protocol to identify, evaluate, and treat any tribal cultural resources which may be impacted by ground-disturbing projects in the Transit District area. 10. Utilities and Infrastructure, Hydrology and Water Quality Impact UT-1: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure UT-1 (FSEIR, p. 10-25) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact UT-1: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure UT-1 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact UT-1, such that this potential impact would be less than significant because development projects in the Transit District area shall pay a fair-share contribution towards the cost of providing emergency water storage for all proposed uses to fund the design and construction of such storage, which would ensure un-interruption of water supply in case of a potential drought or disaster-caused emergency. Impact UT-2: With implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments, the City would have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure UT-2 (FSEIR, p. 10-29) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact UT-2: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure UT-2 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact UT-2, such that this potential impact would be less than significant because the developer of a development project in the Transit District area would be required to install an extension of recycled water supply pipelines to the development project with sufficient recycled water capacity to provide for all of the project’s recycled water demands while achieving the required pressure, flow, and other system design criteria of recycled water system pursuant to City standards, which will ensure the improvements are sufficiently certain, adequately funded, and can be implemented over time.
