79 notification (San Mateo County C/CAG, Comprehensive ALUCP for the Environs of San Carlos Airport, Exhibit 4- 4a: FAA Notification Form 7460-1 Filing Requirements; adopted October 2015, amended October 13, 2022; Focused GPU EIR, Figure 4.9-2). Implementation of the proposed project component would not result in an airplane-related safety hazard for people residing or working in the project component vicinity. The impacts related to safety and noise hazards associated with airports would be less than significant. As a result, this project component would be consistent with the analysis in the EIR/SEIR because it would not create new impacts or increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. f. The Focused GPU EIR noted all major public streets in Redwood City, including Woodside Road, serve as principal evacuation routes (p. 4.9-25). While it is possible the project component may result in circulation changes during project construction, any circulation changes would be temporary and limited to the immediate project component site vicinity. The Redwood City General Plan contains policies and implementation programs that require developments to plan for evacuation scenarios and ensure adequate emergency access to and from the site. In addition, project design and project component construction activities would be required to comply with all applicable City codes and regulations pertaining to emergency access, as well as fire protection and security. The Focused GPU EIR concluded the General Plan Public Safety Element policies and implementation programs and the City’s development review process would ensure adequate emergency response and evacuation procedures are planned for and maintained on a development-by-development basis (p. 4.9-26). The impact was found to be less than significant. The project component design would be required to comply with all applicable City codes and regulations pertaining to emergency access, as well as fire protection and security. With compliance with the requirements described above, the proposed project component would not impair or interfere with emergency access, and the impact is considered less than significant. As a result, this project component would be consistent with the analysis in the EIR/SEIR because it would not create new impacts or increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. g. The Focused GPU EIR noted that the foothill neighborhoods west of Alameda de las Pulgas are designated a Very High Fire Hazard Zone (VHSZ) and face increased fire hazards (Focused GPU EIR, pp. 4.9-26 – 4.9-27). Development in the VHFHSZ must comply with California Building Code building design and defensible space requirements intended protect against the risk of wildfire. In addition, the Public Safety Element of the General Plan contains policies and implementation programs that would avoid or minimize threats to future development due to wildfire hazard. With continued adherence to the fire protection regulations and policies, the Focused GPU EIR found this impact would be less than significant. The project component site is located in an urban environment that is not adjacent to the wildlands and VHFHSZ in the Focused GPU EIR Planning EIR. Therefore, the project component would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires. The project component is subject to the City’s Municipal Code requirements related to fire protection in non-wildland areas, and continued implementation of these Municipal Code fire regulations would ensure the project component’s impacts related to fire hazard are less than significant. This project component would be consistent with the analysis in the Focused GPU EIR because it would not create new impacts or increase impacts, and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. CONCLUSION With regards to the issue area of Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the 847 Woodside Road project component or its site have been identified, (2) there are no potentially significant effects 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 Focused GPU EIR concluded a less-than-significant impact. Therefore, component- specific impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. For these reasons, the hazardous and hazardous materials 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.
