Documentation a. The proposed amendments and the project will not involve routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials, nor will it result in hazardous emissions. The DTPP EIR (p. 14-12) concluded that while some hazardous substances may be generated, stored, transported, used, or disposed of in association with residential and non- residential development projects Downtown (e.g., cleaning supplies), existing local, State, and Federal regulations and oversight would reduce the potential threat to a less-than-significant impact. b. & c. The proposed amendments and the project will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. No manufacturing or industrial processes that utilize or produce dangerous substances are allowed under the DTPP, and the DTPP EIR (p. 14-12) concluded that--with mandatory local, State, and Federal regulations in place--the risk to the public or the environment from upset and accident conditions would represent a less-than-significant impact. d. The proposedproject is not located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code �'65962.5 (Cortese List) and, as a result, will not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. (Department of Toxic Substances Control [DTSCJ Envirostor database, www.envirostar.dtsc.ca.QOV/public, viewedMay 9, 2013). The proposed amendments would not introduce arry new land uses or result in arry changes to the DTPP that would increase the hazardous materials beyond those identified in the DTPP EIR; therefore, no new impacts are anticipated. e. & f. The subject property is not located within San Carlos Airport Influence Area B. The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) reviewed the DTPP prior to its adoption and found that its goals, objectives, policies, and development criteria were consistent with the San Carlos Airport Land Use Plan (DTPP EIR pp. 14-16 and 14-17). The proposed project does not exceed arry of the development criteria (e.g., height, building disposition) in the DTPP. Also, there are no other public airports, public 19
