These impacts are temporary and would be reduced to a less than significant <br /> level with implementation of the proposed mitigation measures. Because of the temporary nature of <br /> these impacts,the fact that the impacts would be mitigated, and because there are no other projects in <br /> the area that would be constructed concurrently with the proposed project,there would be no <br /> cumulative effect resulting from construction activities. <br /> The project could result in impacts to nesting birds, should they be discovered on or adjacent to the <br /> project site. Because this impact would be mitigated to a less than significant level and there are no <br /> other pending projects in the immediate area whose effects could be combined with the project <br /> effects,the project would have no cumulative impact on biological resources. <br /> Noise impacts would result from construction and occupation of the proposed project. As discussed <br /> above, construction impacts are temporary and do not contribute to long-term cumulative impacts. <br /> The long-term noise impact is a result of placing a noise sensitive land use (i.e.,housing)in an area <br /> with incompatible ambient noise levels. Implementation of recommendations in an acoustical <br /> analysis to be completed for Lots 1 and 2 would reduce impacts to future residents of the site from <br /> noise on Valota Road. Because this is an impact to future occupants of the project site and not to <br /> e�sting sensitive receptors or land uses in the project area,the project would not contribute to an <br /> e�sting impact or to a probable future noise impact on e�sting land uses. <br /> 1410 Valota Road Residential Project 75 Initial Study <br /> Redwood City January 2012 <br />
