7.A. - Page 31 the elevation of habitable space above anticipated flood heights or creating structures that allow flood waters to pass through lower level of buildings. The City's Drainage Guidelines for Commercial Development require post-development storm water discharge to be equal to or less than pre-development discharge. The project will be subject to this requirement as a condition of project approval. With implementation of standard City regulations, project impacts on flooding will be less than significant. i. The proposed amendments do not introduce arry new land uses or substantially alter the potential development pattern beyond that which was analyzed in the DTPP EIR; therefore, no additional analysis is required and no further impacts are anticipated. Arry development associated with the buildout of the DTPP would be subject to the review and approval of the City consistent with the aforementioned analysis provided for the proposed project. The plan area and project site are not subject to flooding from levee or dam failure (DTPP p. 10-26); therefore, potential flooding as a result of failure is considered minimal. Project implementation is not anticipated to expose people or property to significant risk from levee or dam failure. j. The plan area andproject site are not subject to inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow (DTPP pp. 10-26 and 10-27). Summary of Impacts Potentially Less than Significant Less than Significant With Mitigation Significant No Im act Incor orated Im act Im act X. LAND USE AND PLANNING -- Would the project: a) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of a community? X b) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity? X c) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency X with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Documentation a. & b. The DTPP EIR (p. 4-16) concludes that implementation of the DTPP would reinforce, with no substantial change in, established community-wide land use patterns. The EIR (p. 4-16) also concludes that the DTPP land use characteristics, provisions, and development standards would result in beneficial land use effects. The DTPP has been incorporated into the City's General Plan. The proposed amendments would not alter the land uses identified in the DTPP or those analyzed in the DTPP EIR. The amendments to regulations such as removing mandatory ground floor retail for a portion of the Entertainment District due to the elimination of the Depot Circle concept, changing front setbacks for Public Open Space, deleting frontage coverage requirements in areas where New Streets are no longer being required, and adding Depot Plaza to the list of Shadow Sensitive Public Open Spaces would remain compatible with other regulatory aspects of the DTPP and ensure overall consistency. The proposed project complies with all applicable DTPP regulations and will contribute to the beneficial land use affects in the Downtown area. c. The proposed amendments and the project will not conflict with arry applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of agencies with jurisdiction over the project (DTPP EIR pp. 4-18 through 4-21). The project complies with all applicable development standards in the DTPP adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. 22
