Facts in Support of Finding The City has adopted Mitigation Measure 4F-l, identified on page 4F-2 of the Redevelopment EIR, to ensure potential police protection impacts associated with buildont of the Second Amendment area are reduced to less than significant, and Mitigation Measures 3-2 and 3-3 of the Franklin Street Area Plan EIR, identified on page 3-38 of the Initial Study, to ensure potential police protection impacts of the proposed Project remain less than significant. Implementation of these measures will ensure police protection impacts are reduced to less than significant. The effect of these measures will be to minimize the Project Site's police protection demands. The proposed Project would not include any changes in the previously evaluated redevelopment activities that will cause any new significant police protection effects or substantial increases in the severity of previously identified police protection effects. SIGNIFICANT EFFECT Impact The Redevelopment EIR evaluated the school impacts anticipated with redevelopment of the Project Site. The Redevelopment EIR concluded that buildout of the Second Amendment area would require addition school personnel and facilities. The increased demand for school services was considered significant. The Franklin Street Area Plan EIR evaluated the school facility impacts anticipated with redevelopment of the Project Site. The EIR estimated that over the ten years following completion of the redevelopment activities on the Project Site, as many as 88 new K-8 students in the Redwood City School District and 17 new high school students in the Sequoia Union High School District would be expected. Also, the EIR stated that because the Hoover Elementary School is located across Woodside Road (State Route 84) south of the Project Site and the McKinley Elementary School is located across El Camino Real (State Route 82) to the west, school busing of students would likely be required by the Redwood City School District to ensure student safety. The Franklin Street Area Plan concluded that school impacts would be considered significant. The City considered the merits of the Redevelopment Plan and the Franklin Street Area Plan in light of the significant school impacts during the approval process for the Plan. The proposed Project will not include any changes in the previously evaluated redevelopment activities that will cause any new significant school effects or substantial increases in the severity of previously identified school effects. Slightly fewer students would be generated from the site than anticipated in the Franklin Street Area Plan because the 21-unit apartment complex to be removed with Project implementation was expected to remain. For this reason, the incremental school impacts of the proposed Project are not considered significant. Finding The Redevelopment Agency Board finds that changes or alterations have been incorporated into the Project which mitigate or avoid the significant school impacts to a point where clearly no significant environmental effect would occur, and there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record FRANKLIN STREET PROJECT -16- Findings RD99-21
