Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Harbor View Project PAGE 19 OF 48 ESA / 170951 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2022 ATTY/RESO.0085/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA – EXHIBIT A REV: 11-02-2022 VR facility to be exceeded or impede the ability of the City to meet waste diversion requirements or other applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Further, Recology of San Mateo County would provide recycling services to the Project site, which will contribute to a reduction in solid waste generated by proposed development. The Revised Project would further reduce the estimates presented in the DEIR given its reduced level of development. The impact is less than significant. (DEIR, pp. 4.13-15 to 4.13-16; FEIR, p.2-16.) Impact UTIL-1.CU: The Project, in combination with cumulative projects in the vicinity of the Project site, would not result in cumulative impacts to utilities and service systems. Findings Regarding Impact UTIL-1.CU: Based on cumulative development forecasts conducted for this EIR, the cumulative development projects would increase demand for water and wastewater conveyance, storage and supply, in addition to facilities for stormwater conveyance. Moreover, cumulative development would also be required to comply with all the federal, state, and local standards regarding wastewater, stormwater, water supplies and solid waste diversion during construction and operation. Cumulative development also would provide additional tax revenue and other development fees that would go toward paying for increased utilities and service systems. Also, adherence to the General Plan policies could reduce the potential for significant impacts. Overall, cumulative development, in combination with development of the Project would result, would result in a significant cumulative effect. The impact is less than significant. (DEIR, p. 4.13-16; FEIR, p.2-16.) 4.14 Transportation and Circulation Impact TRANS-16: The Project would not result in hazards regarding site access and circulation. Findings Regarding Impact TRANS-16: Primary vehicle ingress and egress to and from the Project site, the provision of structured and surface parking spaces throughout the site are spread throughout the site and provides for an even distribution of traffic to all entry points into the site. A system of 24-foot wide drive aisles would allow for access to the parking structure and from any of the driveways. Also, the central pedestrian plaza would allow employees to park once and walk between buildings, minimizing circulation of vehicles throughout the campus. In addition, commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles, and truck access would be distributed throughout the various driveways and drive aisles to avoid conflicts. Truck access is expected to be infrequent and minimize conflicts with pedestrians, bicycles, and passenger vehicles. This impact is less than significant. (DEIR, pp. 4.14-54 to 4.14-56; FEIR, p.2-16.) Impact TRANS-17: The Project would not result in substantial safety risks associated with a change in air traffic patterns. Findings Regarding Impact TRANS-17: The Project site is about 2.5 miles from the San Carlos Airport, about 10 miles from San Jose International Airport, about 11 miles from San Francisco International Airport, and about 16 miles from Oakland International Airport. Development of the Revised Project would not contribute substantially to demand for commercial flights. Also, no buildings or features would be constructed on-site that would interfere with flight operations at local airports. This impact is less than significant.
