7.A. - Page 24 ATfACHMENT 1 through 8-28, Draft EIR appendix 21.4 (Supplemental Air Quality and Climate Change Information), and Final EIR appendix B (Supplemental Bay Area Air Quality Management District [BAAQMD] Information), which are hereby incorporated by reference. Climate Chanqe Impact: Impact 9-1: Sea Level Rise Impacts on Project Development. Based on the BCDC sea level rise maps, the project may be affected by anticipated sea level rise and associated changes in broader flood plain boundaries. Potential impacts associated with future development that may be subject to sea level rise include risk to public safety and property damage. Mitigation: Mitigation 9-1. For all new development on the project development site, the City shall ensure that the development complies with the most current Redwood City General Plan and Redwood City Municipal Code requirements for protection from flood hazards, consistent with Mitigation 10-3 in chapter 10 (Utilities), of the Draft EIR. These provisions would require compliance with associated storm drainage storage, building elevation, and flood-proofing requirements. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 9-1 would reduce sea level rise impacts to a /ess- than-significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 9-1 would reduce the sea level rise impacts on project development to a less-than-significant level by ensuring that all new on-site development complies with the most current Redwood City General Plan and Redwood City Municipal Code requirements for protection from flood hazards, as described and quantified in Draft EIR chapter 9 (Climate Change), which is hereby incorporated by reference. Cultural and Historic Resources Impact: Impact 14-1: Project and Cumulative Impacts on Historic Resources. The proposed Precise Plan contains development standards that would allow for the demolition of all structures on the development site, and Stanford has indicated that its long-term plan is to demolish all of the existing structures on the development site and relocate the Ampex sign. Subsection 14.1.3 of the Draft EI R identifies three potential historic resources on the development site--the 425 Broadway building, the plaza area with the Warnecke Fountains, and the Ampex sign. Although the historical resources survey report and 2009 Circa peer review do not find that any of these three structures are historic resources, the 2009 and 2011 Circa peer review reports do suggest special consideration be given to these structures in the planning process. Some members of the HRAC have indicated that they preliminarily disagree with the conclusions in the reports that these structures are not potential historic resources; however, the HRAC has yet to make a recommendation as to whether these structures should be included on the City's register of historical resources. CEQA Guidelines section 15064.5(a)(4) allows a lead agency to determine that a resource is a historic resource despite the fact that the resource is not listed in the California Register of Historical ATTY/RES0.2901/STANFORD EIR CERTIFICATION REV:08-29-13 VR Page 14 of 56
