130 Effect Peculiar to Project Site? New Significant Effect? New Significant Off-Site, Cumulative Impact? New Information, More Severe Adverse Impact? XXI. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? No No No No b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) No No No No c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? No No No No Documentation: 1900 Broadway Component: a. Based on the preceding discussion, the program EIR prepared for the Downtown Precise Plan (DTPP), and the program SEIR prepared for the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments, including mitigation measures, it has been determined that the project component would have a less-than-significant potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. b. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15355, “Cumulative impacts refer to two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts.” “Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects. The potential cumulative impacts of the project component together with these related projects have been considered for each environmental topic evaluated above. Given the relatively short-term nature of the project’s construction schedule, and the fact that the proposed project would serve an existing community within an urbanized area consistent with the adopted DTPP (as amended), the project component is not anticipated to have any cumulatively considerable impacts beyond those identified and analyzed in the DTPP program EIR and DTPP Plan- Wide Amendments program SEIR. c. The project component would not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, beyond those previously identified and analyzed in the DTPP program EIR and DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR. 847 Woodside Road Component: a. Based on the preceding discussion, the program EIR prepared for the Redwood City Housing, Built Environment, Public Safety, Building Community & Natural Resources Elements Update to the Redwood City General Plan (Focused GPU), including mitigation measures, it has been determined that the project component would have a less- than-significant potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. b. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15355, “Cumulative impacts refer to two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts.” ATTY/RESO.0074/CC RESO 847 WOODSIDE (CEQA) - EXHIBIT 1 - CEQA CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST REV: 10-23-24 VR Page 130 of 135
