( b ) The Project Will supply and contribute to significant traffic mitigation <br />measures.. By helping to reduce traffic co ngestion, these measures will also reduce <br />Project impacts on air quality. The Facts in Support of Finding .2.5.1 hereby are <br />incorporated by reference. <br />(c) Although the measures described above will significantly reduce the impact <br />of motor vehicle related air pollution, it Will not eliminate the impact entirely. As <br />noted in the Redwood Pe ninsula EIR, " [a]gainst the background of ambient -air <br />q uality within the Bay Area , . almost any action involving increased enriiss <br />can he exp ected to have some adverse impact upon .overall air quality." (Redwood <br />Peninsula .EIR, p. Iv -5.) Therefore, the City finds that this impact has not been <br />Mitigated to below a level of significance. <br />(d) The statement of overriding Considerations set forth in Section 4 of this <br />document contains additional information explaining the reasons for the City's <br />decision to .approve the Prof ect in spite of. its environmental effects, and is hereby <br />incorporated by re ference. <br />203 WATER POLLUTION <br />2.3.1 Poten tial Effect: Development of the Project ; may increase the quantities of <br />pollutants entering the lagoon system, the sloughs around the Peninsula and the <br />nearby reaches of San Francisco Bay, <br />Findings: The City hereby mak ]Findings (1), (2) an (3). <br />. <br />Facts in Sup of Findin s: <br />(a) The Planned Development Permit requires the Project applicant to meet <br />drainage and store water runoff regulations of the Redwood City Bngineermg <br />Divisi as well as NPDES guidelines and regulations relevant to storm waste <br />manag Corn liance with these requirements will reduce impacts on water <br />g p <br />quality. <br />(b) The S outh Bayside System Au thority will provide wastewater treatment <br />cap acity. It is not currently in violation of. any regional water quality requirements, <br />and has sufficient capacity to provide wastewater treatment for the Project without <br />violatin g regional water quality requirements. (See the recent study completed by <br />� <br />Brian Kangas Foulk entitled "'Study to Determine Future Redwood Shores Properties' <br />Serer Treatment Capacity Requirements," dated November 2.2, 1 .995, which is on file <br />with the City Pl.. epartment and is hereby incorporated by reference.) <br />-5� <br />FNDNGP I .DDC <br />5/3419610:5.1 AM <br />
