7.B. - Page 132 Redwood City Chapter 8.Impacts Found Not to be Significant As described in the 2007 FEIR (page 8-1),the construction and operation of the Costco warehouse and fueling center would not contribute to the housing stock or residential population base within the City.Similarly,construction of the proposed modifications would result in a temporary increase in construction-related job opportunities in the local area.The opportunities provided by construction of the proposed modifications would not likely result in household relocation by construction workers to the project vicinity because these jobs would be temporary and of very short duration.Additionally,construction workers can be expected to be drawn from the construction labor force already existing in the surrounding community.It is not likely that construction workers would relocate their place of residency as a consequence of the temporary employment offered by construction of the proposed modifications.Additionally,operation of the proposed modifications would not require any new employees.Therefore,no new impact on population or housing would occur with implementation of the proposed modifications. As described in the 2007 FEIR (Appendix A,page 16),there are no housing units or households onsite that would be displaced and the proposed modifications would not displace households or residents in the project area.Similarly,no replacement housing is needed for the proposed modifications.Therefore,no new impact on population or housing would occur with implementation of the proposed modifications. Cultural Resources As described in the 2007 FEIR (page 8-1),no historical resources are located on or immediately adjacent to the project site.The original Costco warehouse and associated parking lot were built in the early 1980s and are not considered historical resources.The conditions of the project area have not significantly changed since the 2007 analysis was conducted,and the proposed modifications would be implemented entirely within the existing Costco warehouse,fueling center,and parking lot site.Therefore,no new impacts on historical resources would occur with implementation of the proposed modifications. As described in the 2007 FEIR(page 8-1),the project site is currently developed.No archaeological resources,paleontological resources,or unique geologic features are known to exist on or immediately adjacent to the project site.The project site was not historically used as a cemetery. The site is currently developed with an existing asphalt parking lot and ornamental landscaping. Given the disturbed character of the site,no archaeological resources are expected to be present onsite.The maximum depth of excavation would be approximately 2 feet,which is less than that which occurred as part of construction of the project in 2009. Grading and groundwork proposed for the proposed modifications would not exceed the depth of previous excavations associated with the project site.The conditions of the project area have not significantly changed since the 2007 analysis was conducted.Therefore,no new impact would result from development of the proposed modifications.
