Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Harbor View Project PAGE 17 OF 48 ESA / 170951 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2022 ATTY/RESO.0085/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA – EXHIBIT A REV: 11-02-2022 VR Impact PSR-4: The Project could increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks and recreation centers, but not to the extent that substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or be accelerated, nor would it cause the necessity for new or expanded facilities. Findings Regarding Impact PSR-4: As discussed in the EIR, it is not anticipated that the new employees from the development will increase the demand for, or use of, nearby parks and recreational facilities, especially with the 35,000 square foot amenities building that includes on- site recreational and fitness areas. No substantial and physical deterioration of facilities would occur, be accelerated, or cause the need for new or expanded facilities. The Project would have a less than significant impact. (DEIR p. 4.12-11; FEIR p. 2-16.) Impact PSR-5: The Project could increase the use of existing public library facilities, but not to the extent that substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would occur or be accelerated, nor would it cause the necessity for new or expanded facilities. Findings Regarding Impact PSR-5: The Project will result in increased onsite employee population, and as discussed in the DEIR, the analysis can only speculate about the choices that new employees of the Project might make about establishing new existing households to Redwood City, resulting in potential increased demand for library services. Also, the library is mainly funded by the City’s general fund, so the need for new or expanded library facilities due to the increased use by new employees of the Project is not anticipated. The impact would be less than significant. (DEIR p. 4.12-11; FEIR p. 2-16.) Impact PSR-1.CU: The Project, in combination with other cumulative development in the vicinity of the Project site, would not contribute considerably to a cumulative impact to public services and recreation facilities. Findings Regarding Impact PSR-1.CU: The proposed Revised Project, in combination with other cumulative development imbedded in the growth forecasts in the countywide transportation model and US 101 improvement project, would not result in a cumulative impact regarding the demand for police services, fire protection and emergency medical response services, public schools, and libraries, or recreation facilities. Summarizing from Impacts PSR-1 through PSR-5, growth from the Revised Project would not generation demand that would warrant new or physically altered facilities to maintain acceptable performance objectives. Cumulative development, like the Revised Project, would provide additional tax revenue and other development fees (including SB 50 fees for full mitigation of physical school impacts) that would go toward paying for increased public services. The impact is less than significant. (DEIR p. 4.12- 12; FEIR p. 2-16.) 4.13 Utilities and Service Systems Impact UTIL-1: The Project would not exceed the wastewater treatment requirements of the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board or result in a determination that new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities would be required. Findings Regarding Impact UTIL-1: Development of the Revised Project would increase the demand for wastewater treatment from the Project site. As discussed under this impact
