7.B. - Page 127 <br /> Redwood City Chapter 6.Cumulative Impacts <br /> the cumulative reductions in emissions needed in the Bay Area to overall meet the AB 32 reduction <br /> target.As the proposed modifications would result in a net reduction of GHG emissions,the <br /> proposed modifications would not contribute to new cumulatively significant GHG emissions. <br /> Hydrology and drainage can result in a cumulative impact if past,present,and reasonably <br /> foreseeable future projects have the potential to violate water quality standards,deplete <br /> groundwater supplies,or result in flooding.The City of Redwood City requires projects that would <br /> create and/or replace 5,000 sf or more of impervious surface to comply with the Municipal Regional <br /> Permit Provision C.3 requirements.The original project did not increase impervious surfaces.As <br /> such,the project with the proposed modifications,as well as any other project creating or replacing <br /> 5,000 sf or more of impervious surface,will be required to comply with Provision C.3 to avoid <br /> impacts related to stormwater runoff.Therefore,the contribution of the project with the proposed <br /> modifications to a new cumulative impact would be less than significant. <br /> The analysis of public services considers project-level and cumulative-level impacts by analyzing the <br /> impact of the proposed modifications on the ability of the police and fire departments to adequately <br /> serve the project with the proposed modifications and other past,present,and future projects.As <br /> described in Section 4.8,the project with the proposed modifications would be required to comply <br /> with fire prevention requirements,emergency access,fire safety,and emergency response <br /> standards.The analysis in the 2007 FEIR determined that although the new development associated <br /> with the project would contribute to a cumulative increase in demand for services,this issue is <br /> addressed citywide in response to overall population growth projections.The proposed <br /> modifications to the project would result in the addition of 2 fueling islands and 8 fueling stations to <br /> the existing fueling center,which would fall within the scope of the analysis in the 2007 FEIR. <br /> Therefore,the contribution of the proposed modifications to a new cumulative impact would be less <br /> than significant. <br /> As described in Section 4.9,the proposed modifications would not result in the construction of any <br /> habitable structures or employment which would result in an increased demand for public utilities. <br /> Onsite drainage patterns would not change,and no increased stormwater would be generated as a <br /> result of the proposed modifications over which the level that was analyzed in the 2007 FEIR. <br /> Therefore,the contribution of the proposed modifications to a new cumulative impact on drainage <br /> infrastructure would be less than significant. <br /> Addendum No.2 to the Environmental Impact Report for September 2012 <br /> the Redwood City Costco Wholesale Project 6-4 ICF 00154.12 <br />
