Airport. Business and professional uses are considered compatible with <br />noise levels up to CNEL 70 dB. <br />(21) Safety objective l states `Protect the community from the hazards of .soil <br />erosion, weak and expansive soils, .and geologic instability." The Project is <br />consistent with this .requirement. The Planned Development Permit <br />includes a condition requiring the applicant to comply with all <br />recommendations of the geotechnical report on file with the ]Building <br />.Division. Compliance with these requirements will reduce seismic .risk. <br />The geotechnical report .for the Project includes recommendations regarding <br />settlement. The Planned Development Permit requires the applicant to <br />comply with all recommendations of the geotechnical report. Settlement is <br />.not unique to the Project ect site; it tends to accompany most projects that are <br />built upon recently-placed f ll. The geotechnical report prepared for the <br />Project concludes that soil and geotechnical conditions at the site are <br />suitable for the proposed development. The geotechnical conditions at the <br />site are similar to those at other properties . in the vicinity which have been <br />successfully developed. <br />( Safety Objective 4 states "Protect the safety of people on the ground and <br />.in aircraft in flight in the vicinity of San Carlos Airport." In order to <br />ensure that the Project .is consistent with this policy, the City <br />commissioned .an Airport Land Use and Safety Study, prepared by P &I3 <br />Consultants, Inc. The Airport Study concludes that "[t]he proposed <br />Pr 01 ect would be compatible with the safe and efficient operation of San <br />Carlos Airport within the range of allowable airport operating conditions <br />and existing noise, safety, airspace protection, or overflight criteria. It <br />would not .subject people or property on the ground to undue or excessive <br />risk .from. potential aircraft .accidents or noise, nor would it pose .a <br />demonstrated risk to the safety of aircraft in fli The evidence <br />contained in the Airport .Study supports this conclusion. The f ndings and <br />facts in .support of findings contained in Section 3. 10 of the CEQA , <br />Findings hereby are incorporated by reference. <br />(23) Safety Policy S -12 .states "Regulate land uses surrounding airports to <br />assure airport safety." The Project is consistent with the San Mateo <br />County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan ("CLUP"). The CLUP is <br />a comprehensive land use plan that was enacted in order to ensure <br />compatible land use in the areas surrounding airports. The CLUP <br />establishes a maximurn height for structures in the Project area of 1.52 feet. <br />No structure in the Project Will exceed .152 feet in height. Therefore, the <br />Project is consistent With the CLUP height requirements. In 1983, <br />Redwood Shores, Inc. voluntarily .reduced heights of buildings within two <br />EACPLNP i .DOC 6 <br />5130196 <br />
