-29- 8.A. - Page 118 Mit'rgation: MM GEO —2: Development of the proposed project in compliance v►rith a final site-specific, design-level geotechnical report wiIl ensure that canstruction of the proposed project wauld not expose people or structures to poten�ial substantial adverse effects from seismic-related ground fai�ure, including liquefaction. Prior to issuance of a grading or building permit, the project app�icant shall submit to the City for review and appro�aI a fnal site-specific, design-level geatechnical report, to be prepared by a licensed professional. The geotechnical report shall include recommendations far grading, avoidance of settlemen#, the effects of expansive soi�s, and differential sett�ement of infrastr�cture and buildings. The repart sha11 alsa identify the specific design parameters for foundations systems to ensure that such systems will not be affected by liquefaction that could accur on the site. Building plans submitted to the City shall incorporate the foundation aesign parameters identifiea in the evaluation. Finding: Implementation of MM GEO—2 would reauce impacts from liquefaction to a less than significant�evei. Facts in Support of Findiag: Impiementation of MM GEO — 2 would reduce the project's impacts from Ifquefaction by preparing the site soils and designing the project to negate the impacts of liquefaction, as described in 5ection 2.3 — Geology, SOlIS, and Seismicity of the Draft EIR on pages 64-75, which is here�y incorporated by reference. Impact: Impact GEO—3: �tructures set back less than 30 feet from creek toe of bank are at risk from sudden bank failure. A small portion of the homc propased on Lot 3 wvuld encroach within 30 feet of the toe vf bank. As praposed, structures on propased Lots 1, 2, and 4 would be sited a minimu�n of 30 feet fram the toe of the creek bank. Mitigation: MM GEO -- 3: The structure an Lot 3 is sited less than 30 feet from the toe af the Cordil�eras Creek embankment, therefore the foundation shalZ be supported on a drilled pier and grade beam foundation systems, designed as recommended in the BAGG Gentechnica� Report.�The praject proposes to construct homes an Lots 1-4 on pier and grade beam faundations, even when fiirther than 30 feet fram toe of banlc, to ensure that construction of the proposed project would not expose people or structnres to potentia.l substantial adverse effects, including the risk af �oss, injury, or death invo�ving landsiides or ground failures. Finding: Implementation o�MM GEO— 3 would reduce impacts frorn sudden banlc failure to the praject to a less than significant level.
