7.A. - Page 39 constitute new land uses or introduce a use that is was not previously identified or analyzed in the DTPP EIR; therefore, no further analysis is necessary and no potentials impacts are anticipated. d. The City's Urban Water Management Plan accounts for development occurring under the DTPP and concludes that adequate water supply exists to serve such growth. Therefore, the DTPP EIR (pp. 10-8 and 10-9) concluded that the DTPP, and development facilitated by it, would have no impact on water supply. Furthermore, the DTPP EIR (pp. 10-9 and 10-10) concluded that there would be no significant impacts resulting from DTPP facilitated development on the water distribution system or on fire flow. The proposed amendments would not introduce arry new land uses that would alter the previous analysis conducted in the DTPP EIR, consequent no additional impacts are anticipated. e. The DTPP EIR (pp. 10-IS and 10-16) concluded that the South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) wastewater treatment plant would not be significantly impacted by development allowed under the DTPP, which includes the proposed project and would not be altered by the proposed amendments. f. & g. Project construction will comply with all applicable solid waste regulations and the proposed amendments would not introduce arry new land uses beyond those previously identified and analyzed in the DTPP EIR. Furthermore, there is sufficient landfill capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs (DTTP EIR p. 8-21). Consequently, no significant impacts on solid waste service are anticipated. Summary of Impacts Potentially Less than Significant Less than Significant With Mitigation Significant No Im act Incor orated Im act Im act XVIIL MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the proj ect have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, X substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the proj ect have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively X considerable ("cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the proj ect have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse X effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Documentation a. Based on the preceding discussion and the EIR prepared for the DTPP, including mitigation measures, it has been determined that both the proposed amendments and the project will have a less-than-significant potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major perzods of California history or prehistory. b. According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15355, "Cumulative impacts refer to two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts. " "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects. The potential cumulative impacts of the amendments and the project together with these related projects have been considered for each environmental topic evaluated above. Given the relatively short- term nature of the project's construction schedule, and the fact that the proposed project will serve an existing community within an urbanized area consistent with the adopted Downtown Precise Plan, the project is not anticipated to have arry cumulatively considerable impacts beyond those identified and analyzed in the DTPP EIR. c. The amendment and project will not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly, beyond those previously identified and analyzed in the DTPP EIR. 30
