7.A AttachrrPag.R 30 the DEIR) is hereby adopted and will be implemented by incorporating the new policy and implementation program described therein into the New General Plan to be adopted by the City. c) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that Mitigation Measure 4.1-5 will reduce the number and severity of potential adverse impacts from new sources of light and glare to a less than significant level through the implementation of Title 24 Lighting Zone (LZ-3) requirements and by promoting the use of low-mounted, downward-casting exterior lighting that reduces light trespass onto adjacent properties, and by requiring new development to submit lighting and photometric site plans for City review and approval prior to issuance of individual building permits. 4.3 Air Quality Impacts Impact 4.3-1: The projected population growth allowed by the New General Plan would be inconsistent with growth projections in the current regional Clean Air Plan, in that the projected population allowed by the New General Plan would increase at a greater rate than regional projections utilized within the Clean Air Plan. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 4.3-25 to 4.3-27 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (I) Mitigation Measures. There are no feasible mitigation measures available to address this impact. Mitigation of this impact would require a reduction in the level of population growth provided for in the New General Plan, which would be inconsistent with the objectives of the New General Plan. (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, it is considered significant and unavoidable. (iii) Overriding Considerations.. The environmental, social, economic, and other benefits of the New General Plan override any remaining significant adverse impacts of the New General Plan relating to inconsistency with the current regional Clean Air Plan, as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. Impact 4.3-3: Although the Redwood City New General Plan provides adequate buffers between new or existing sources of air pollutants (toxic air contaminants or TACs) and new or existing residences or sensitive receptors, the New General Plan does not address recent BAAQMD guidance on protecting people from the risks of TACs. Consequently, allowable development under the New ATTY/RESO/RESO.2055/ATTACHMENT1.A 16 10/6110
