7.A. - Page 168 Pete's Harbor �.ny�i neuwv�u�.uy EIR Addendum October 8, 2012 Page 3-3 3.1 LAND USE The relationships of the current Pete's Harbor project to the previously certified 2003 EIR land use impact and mitigation conclusions are described below. Impact 4-1 Analysis: Project Relationships to Existing Overhead Electrical Transmission Lines. The 2003 EIR indicated that the residential components near the northern edge of the Peninsula Marina property (now One Marina, south of Pete's Harbor) would be as close as 150 feet to existing PG&E electrical transmission tower lines, and that these residential/transmission line relationships could result in adverse impacts related to perceived visual, public health and safety, and noise effects. The 2003 EIR concluded that the result could be a perceived negative impact on the quality and safety of the residential living environment, thereby resulting in future nuisance complaints by project residents. These nuisance and perceived health factors were considered to represent a potentially significant land use compatibility impact. The associated 2003 EIR mitigation indicated that: (1) all prospective residents within 200 feet of the transmission line easements shall be notified of the existing situation in the sale and rental agreement materials to be signed by prospective project residents, and (2) other mitigation measures relevant to the transmission lines identified in EIR chapters 5 (Visual Factors) and 13 (Noise) shall also be implemented. The current Pete's Harbor project site is separated from the transmission lines by the existing Villas at Bair Island apartment-marina complex, and is at least 400 feet away from the transmission lines at its nearest point. Therefore, Impact 4-1 would not apply to the currently proposed project. Conclusion. The impact would not occur. The mitigation identified in the 2003 EIR for Impact 4-1 does not apply to the current Pete's Harbor project and would not be required. Impact 4-ia Analysis: Project Compatibility with Existing Industrial Uses and San Carlos Airport Flight Operations. The 2003 EIR indicated that the Marina Shores Village development would be located near existing, extended-hour heavy commercial and industrial uses, as well as below existing San Carlos Airport flight operations. The 2003 EIR noted that potential incompatibilities between project residential uses and these activities could result in nuisance complaints about, and requests to limit, some of these heavy commercial, industrial, and airport activities and associated visual, traffic, noise/vibration, and air quality nuisances. The 2003 EIR concluded that, based on existing factors of distance and separation, industrial traffic patterns, prevailing winds, and noise attenuation requirements, such impacts would be less-than-significant. Nevertheless, a project mitigation was recommended in the 2003 EIR and supported by the applicant, including requiring written notification to all prospective residents of the existing heavy commercial, industrial, and airport operations in the area and associated potential nuisance effects, to be included in the sale and rental agreement materials to be signed by prospective project residents. The current Pete's Harbor project would have fewer residential units and overall reduced maximum building heights (i.e., fewer units overlooking heavy commercial/industrial operations); therefore, fewer residents would be affected by the existing nearby industrial and airport operations. Nevertheless, the same recommended mitigation would apply. T.•1106951Addenduml3(10695-01).doc
