B.A. - Page 282 Pete's Harbor <br /> airy or rceawooa i,i y Revised EIR Addendum <br /> January 22, 2014 Page 3-41 <br /> East Bayshore Road. The associated 2003 EIR mitigation was the same for Impact 8-6 above, <br /> requiring various approvals by jurisdictional agencies (i.e., Corps, RWQCB, BCDC), including <br /> associated HMMP provisions. <br /> The current Pete's Harbor project would not fill any fresh emergent wetlands; none are located <br /> on or adjacent to the project site. <br /> Conclusion. Mitigation 8-7 is no longer required. The currently proposed Pete's Harbor project <br /> would not fill any fresh emergent wetlands, and this impact would not occur. <br /> Impact 8-8 Analysis: Project-Related Bird Collisions. The certified 2003 EIR identified a <br /> significant unavoidable impact resulting from inevitable bird collisions due to lighting and window <br /> hazards associated with the proposal to construct up to thirteen 21- to 23-story towers, and <br /> additional low-rise flats ranging from four to nine stories, near the Bair Island Wildlife Refuge. <br /> The 2003 EIR concluded that bird collisions would be a significant unavoidable impact given the <br /> project building heights in excess of 75 feet (the City-adopted height limit for the site) in <br /> combination with the project location near the Bair Island Wildlife Refuge. Because most bird <br /> collisions occur near illuminated areas,' the 2003 EIR included as mitigation a lighting policy <br /> that strives for minimal exterior night-lighting and the use of low-intensity exterior lighting, cut- <br /> off/shielded lights, and automatically timed perimeter lights, each of which would reduce the <br /> potential for nighttime bird collisions. However, because project building heights would still have <br /> exceeded 75 feet, the impact was considered significant and unavoidable. <br /> Under the current Pete's Harbor project, the proposed maximum height of buildings would be <br /> reduced to 75 feet. <br /> Conclusion. Modified impact and mitigation. The mitigation identified in the 2003 EIR for <br /> Impact 8-8 remains applicable to the current Pete's Harbor project. In addition, all project <br /> buildings would be below the City-adopted 75-foot height limit, including those for One Marina, <br /> which was formerly the Peninsula Marina component of the Marina Shores Village EIR. <br /> Therefore, the mitigation (lighting policy with minimal exterior lighting, low-intensity exterior <br /> lighting, cut-off/shielded lights, automatically timed perimeter lights) would reduce the impact to <br /> a less-than-significant level. <br /> Impact 8-9 Analysis: Project-Related General Outdoor Lighting Impacts on Biological <br /> Resources. The certified 2003 EIR identified an impact on biological resources (e.g., birds) <br /> resulting from project outdoor lighting features located at a close distance to sensitive wetland <br /> habitats (e.g., the marina area, Redwood Creek, Smith Slough). The associated mitigation was <br /> the same as that for Impact 8-8 above. <br /> Conclusion. No change. The current project, by not including the Peninsula Marina (One <br /> Marina) component currently under construction and partially occupied, would reduce the <br /> amount of marina, Redwood Creek, and Smith Slough estuarine habitat directly affected. <br /> However, outdoor lighting impacts on these sensitive estuarine wildlife habitats (and associated <br /> bird and other animal and plant species) within the marina/Redwood Creek/Smith Slough <br /> estuarine areas still affected by the project would remain potentially significant. The mitigation <br /> identified in the 2003 EIR for Impact 8-9 therefore remains applicable to the current Pete's <br /> Harbor project and remains sufficient to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. <br /> 'Final EIR for the Marina Shores Village Project, June 2003, page 2-66. <br /> T.110695 Pete's Harbor EIR Addendumlrevised addendum no 213(10695-01).doc <br />
