7A Page 22 h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? o o o o The project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, as development would be limited to residential use per the provisions of the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. However, construction of additional residences may involve the temporary use and transport of potentially hazardous materials. Standard safety conditions and compliance with local and State ordinances concerning the use and transport of toxic substances and use of hazardous materials related to construction of the project will ensure that any potential impacts will be kept to a less-than-signiflCant level: The project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment since development would be limited to residential use. The project will not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school since development would be limited to residential use. While some R-2 properties are located within one-quarter mile existing schools, residential uses are restricted in hazardous emissions and materials. The project does not involve any site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. The R-2 district located in Redwood Shores is within the Airport Influence Area (AlA), Area 8, for San Carlos Airport, and is subject to the policies of the adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for this airport. The CLUP identifies certain types of land uses as potential hazards to aviation, including land uses directing steady or flashing lights towards the runway, uses that attract birds, uses that cause sunlight reflection, and uses that would generate technical interference with aircraft operations. The proposed code amendment would not alter the allowed uses in the R-2 ordinance, and these allowed uses do not include any uses that could cause aviation hazards as listed above. Therefore, hazardous uses related to aviation operations will not affect the proposed project. The project will not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. The project is consistent with the 1990 General Plan, which includes provisions for emergency response and evacuation. The project will not expose people or structures to wildland fire risks since no R-2 areas are adjacent to wildlands or intermixed with wildlands. 161 City of Redwood City, Planning, Housing and Economic Development Department
