103 Compliance with conditions of approval and the existing State and local regulatory framework would ensure the groundborne vibration impacts of the project component will be less than significant, and no additional mitigation would be required. The Focused GPU program EIR evaluated construction and operational noise under similar distances and conditions presented by the 847 Woodside Road project component. For the reasons discussed here, the 847 Woodside Road project component would not create new impacts or increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. c. The project component site is located (on the fly) more than two miles of San Carlos Airport. According to the Focused GPU program EIR (p. 4.13-44), the Focused GPU area “…is not located in any noise contour zone associated with this airport [San Carlos Airport] and would not expose people residing or working in the Planning Area [Focused GPU area] to excessive airport-related noise levels.” Because the project component site is outside the projected 55dB CNEL contour shown in the Redwood City General Plan (Figure PS-9: San Carlos Airport Noise Contours, June 2002) and the San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan (Exhibit 4-2: Future Conditions [2035] Aircraft Noise Contours), no significant impacts related to airport operations have been identified related to the project component and no noise mitigation would be required. Therefore, the project component would not result in new or more severe impacts with respect to airport noise than those identified in the Focused GPU EIR, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. This impact would be less than significant. CONCLUSION: With regards to the issue area of Noise and Vibration, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the 847 Woodside project component or its site have been identified, (2) there are no potentially significant effect or off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the Focused GPU EIR, (3) no substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Focused GPU EIR, and (4) the mitigation measure (Mitigation Measure Noise-1, pertaining to railroad tracks) contained within the Focused GPU EIR is not applicable to the project component and therefore would not be required of the project component. Project component noise impacts would be less than significant. For these reasons, the noise and vibration impacts of the proposed project component would be consistent with the impacts identified in the Focused GPU EIR and this project component does not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15183.
