PUBLIC SERVICES – Would the project: a) Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: Fire protection?

Not Addressed LTS LTS No No No No Documentation: 1900 Broadway Component: a. The DTPP Final EIR found that an increase in calls for service as a result of the DTPP required additional fire and emergency medical service personnel and equipment in the future to maintain acceptable service ratios and response times. However, since specific needs in terms of size, staffing, equipment, and location were unknown, associated impacts were deemed speculative and as a result, impacts on fire and emergency medical service were found to be less than significant. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments SEIR concurred, noting that an update and expansion of Fire Station 9 to meet staffing needs was included in the most recent Five-Year CIP, so additional fire facilities were not expected to be required as a result of the Plan-Wide Amendments. Thus, it found the impact on fire protection and emergency medical response services to be less than significant. Implementation of the proposed project component would not result in substantial physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, or the need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for fire protection and emergency medical response services beyond those identified in the EIR (pp. 8-1 through 8- 21)/SEIR. The proposed project would require the vacation of a one-block segment of Spring Street and the relocation of any utilities therein. The vacation is consistent with the DTPP. The potential environmental impacts of the vacation were previously analyzed by both EIRs. And no substantial impacts were identified. The proposed project was reviewed by Engineering and Transportation with no public infrastructure or circulation concerns identified. The project component site is served by the City of Redwood City Fire and Police departments. The Fire Department facility serving the project site is Station 9 at 755 Marshall Street, about a half-block west on Marshall Street from the project component site. The Police Department is headquartered at 1301 Maple Street, less than one-half mile northeast of the project component site. Personnel from the Fire Department participate in the City’s Plan Review Committee (PRC) process and reviewed the overall proposed project (including both project components). Fire Protection: The DTPP program EIR (pp. 8-4 through 8-6) concluded that there would be no significant impacts on fire/emergency medical service resulting from the DTPP or projects built under it. The DTPP program EIR (p. 8- 3) did, however, identify a potentially significant impact regarding emergency response and evacuation in the Precise Plan area due to traffic congestion on local roads. Mitigation 8-1 directs the City to implement signal detectors to provide priority traffic signal timing for emergency response vehicles, which would reduce this impact to a less-than- significant level. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 8-13 through 8-15) concurred with the DTPP EIR conclusion. In addition, the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 14-12 through 14-13) noted that ATTY/RESO.0074/CC RESO 847 WOODSIDE (CEQA) - EXHIBIT 1 - CEQA CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST REV: 10-23-24 VR Page 106 of 135
