4.0 Addendum Determination and 7.A. - Page 164 4.0 Addendurn Deterrnination and Findin s g 4.1 Addendurn Deterrnination Redwood City, upon review of the General Plan Program FEIR, determined that the proposed MUC Zoning Amendment is consistent with General Plan land use policy direction for the Mixed Use - Corridor land use designation. The MUC Zoning Amendment is part of the program that was approved in the General Plan Program FEIR. Additional environmental review in the form of a supplemental EIR, Negative Declaration, or Mitigated Negative Declaration is not required because no new effects could occur and no new mitigation measures would be required as a result of the approval of the MUC Zoning Amendment. The analysis in Section 3.0 concludes that approval of the MUC Zoning Amendment as proposed would not result in any new significant impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant impacts previously identified in the Program FEIR for the 2010 General Plan. 4.2 Findin s Re ardin CE A Guidelines �15162 g g g Q Based upon the review of the proposed Draft Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment, the 2010 FEI R for the General Plan, and the CEQA Guidelines Section 15198(c)(2) and Section 15162, the City of Redwood City hereby finds the following: 1. On October 11, of 2011, the City of Redwood City Council certified the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the New General Plan for Redwood City (State Clearinghouse No. 2010052034). The City Council also adopted by resolution the New General Plan, which represented a comprehensive update of the document. 2. The FEIR identified the following unavoidable significant environmental effects associated with the adoption and long-term implementation of the General Plan: Air Quality 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. Transportation Impact 4.14-1: New development allowed under the New General Plan could cause an increase in traffic that is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the roadway system and result in unacceptable service levels on some roadway segments based on current LOS policy. Utilities Impact 4.15-4: Development allowed by the New General Plan could generate an increase in future demand for water supply that is not anticipated to be fully met by the City's existing and future water supplies. Global Climate Change Impact 4.16-2: The New General Plan would allow for new development to occur in areas that may be subjected to tidal inundation if sea level rises; this could place additional people and structures at elevated risk of exposure to flood hazards associated with long-term sea level rise. 3. Based on the analysis in the FEIR, all other impacts were found to be either less than significant with mitigation incorporated, less than significant, or beneficial.
