8.A. - Page 54 <br /> c. The DTPP program EIR (p. 11-29) concluded that noise levels from DTPP development would increase pnmanly <br /> due to new traffic patterns, new commercial developmentnextto orbelow residential developmen� and site-specific <br /> sources such as mechanical eguipment Traffic noise increases resulfing from DTPP development are projected to <br /> be from less than 1 dB to up to 2 dB; these increases are considered less than significant because they are <br /> imperceptible to the average human ear within the erisfing Downtown environment (EIR pp. 11-19, 11-29, �d 11- <br /> 30) Other sources ofnoise (commercial operations, mechanical eguipment) are subject to the City ofRedwood City <br /> Noise Orc&nance regulafions. Therefore, permanent increases in noise levels resulting from the proposed project <br /> are considered less than significant <br /> d The DTPP program EIR (pp. 11-23 through 11-29) concluded that potentially significant temporary noise and <br /> vibrafion impacts could be generated by demolition and construction activities in the DTPP area. Mitigafions 11-3 <br /> and 11-4 would reduce these impacts to less-than-significant levels through scheduling, monitonng, and other <br /> measures. Purthermore, construcfion of the proposed project would be reguired to comply with the City ofRedwood <br /> City Noise Orc&nance and all applicable City codes and regulations for noise control. In adc&fion, reguired <br /> implementafion of a canstrucfion traffic plan (incluc&ng the identification of truck haul routes) approved by the City <br /> will help minimize construcfion-related impacts to adfacent land uses These measures, which shall be reguired as <br /> conc&tions of approval for the projec� will reduce the temporary construction noise impacts of the project to a less- <br /> than-significant level. <br /> e. &f. The DTPP area is located within two miles of S� Carlos Airpor� but is outride the projected SSdB CNEL <br /> contour shown in the Redwood City General Plan and the San Mateo County Comprehensive Airport Land Use <br /> Plan. Therefore, no significant impacts were idenfified in the DTPP, and no adc&tional noise mifigation was <br /> reguired (EIR p. 11-30). The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP regulations, �d as a <br /> resul� no adc&fional impacts are anticipated <br /> Summary of Impacts <br /> Potentially Less than Signifcant Less than <br /> Significant With Mitigation Signifcant No <br /> Im act Incor orated Im act Im act <br /> XIIL POPULATION AND HOUSING-- YVould the project: <br /> a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either duectly(for e�mple, X <br /> by proposing new homes and businesses)or indirectly(for example,through <br /> e�ension of roads or other infrastructure)? <br /> b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing necessitating the X <br /> construction of replacement housing elsewhere? <br /> c) Displace substantial numbers of people,necessitating the construction of X <br /> replacement housing elsewhere? <br /> Documentation: <br /> a. Development within the DTPP area has already been contemplated in, and is consistent with, adopted pl�s <br /> (parficularly the Redwood City General Plan) and the environmental documents prepared for those plans, and such <br /> development will not represent growth for which adeguate planning has not occurred No significant adverse <br /> growth-inducing impacts were anticipated from the DTPP or inc&vidual development projects occurring consistent <br /> with the DTPP. Moreover, the City's General Plan has identified the Downtown as an appropnate area of the city <br /> to accommodate future growth due to its walkable nature, transit access, and existing infrastructure. In adc&fion, <br /> Downtown has been designated by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) as a `Pnonty Development <br /> Area"and will be encouraged to accommodate growth aspart of the regional Sustainable Communities Strategy for <br /> reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP regulations, <br /> and as a resul� no adc&fional populafion/housing impacts are anticipated <br /> b. &c. The DTPP program EIR (pp. 5-8 through 5-10) concluded that the DTPP, and projects facilitated by i� would <br /> not result in significant c&splacement impacts. Purthermore, the projectsite does not contain any housing and would <br /> not c&splace any residents. No need for replacement housing would be necessitated by the projec� and no impacts <br /> are expected <br /> 19 <br />
