8.A. - Page 288 Pete's Harbor airy or rceawooa i,i y Revised EIR Addendum January 22, 2014 Page 3-47 emergency response and evacuation capabilities. The associated mitigation included: (1) implementation of measures included in EIR chapter 7 (Transportation and Circulation) to reduce project-related traffic congestion; and (2) City review and approval of project-proposed emergency access provisions. Conclusion. No change. The current Pete's Harbor project would result in fewer significant local traffic impacts than the previous project, but some potentially significant roadway system operational impacts would still occur (see section 3.4 of this Addendum) and could still contribute to emergency response and evacuation deficiencies. The mitigation identified in the 2003 EIR for Impact 10-4 therefore remains applicable to the current project and remains sufficient to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. Impact 10-5 Analysis: Cumulative Demands for Police Services. The 2003 EIR identified a need for about 20 additional sworn police officers citywide, based on anticipated cumulative residential development in Redwood City by approximately the year 2020. The current Pete's Harbor project would contribute a need for roughly 0.9 of those additional officers. The associated 2003 EIR mitigation was the same as the mitigation for Impact 10-3 above (i.e., mitigation of the project's contribution toward increased police service demands, based on staffing surveys and associated police service adjustments, funded from project property tax revenues). Conclusion. Modified impact and mitigation. Although the current Pete's Harbor project would result in reduced demands for additional police services, the mitigation identified in the 2003 EIR for Impact 10-5 (same as modified Mitigation 10-3 above) remains applicable to the current project and remains sufficient to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. Impact 10-6 Analysis: Project-Related and Cumulative Increases in Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Service Demands. The 2003 EIR concluded that buildout of the Marina Shores Village project would require approximately three additional Redwood City Fire Department (RCFD) emergency personnel and requisite training, support staff, facilities, and equipment. The 2003 EIR identified a need for approximately 14 additional emergency personnel citywide, based on anticipated cumulative residential development in Redwood City by approximately the year 2020, with the Marina Shores Village project contributing a need for roughly three of those additional personnel. The associated 2003 EIR mitigation was similar to that for police service impacts (see Impact 10-3 above), in which project property tax revenues would fund the required additional personnel and requisite training, support staff, facilities, and equipment. In addition, the RCFD identified several specific fire-protection mitigation requirements (e.g., automatic sprinklers, hydrants with required fire flow) for the project. Conclusion. Modified impact and mitigation. Impact and Mitigation 10-6 have been modified to reflect the reduced project. Although the current Pete's Harbor project would result in reduced demands for additional fire protection and emergency medical service (EMS), the mitigation for Impact 10-6 remains applicable to the current Pete's Harbor project and remains sufficient to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. Impact 10-7 Analysis: Emergency Access Impacts. The 2003 EIR indicated that the high- density development pattern of the Marina Shores Village project had the potential to result in conflicts with RCFD standards for emergency access road design, including minimum width and T.110695 Pete's Harbor EIR Addendumlrevised addendum no 213(10695-01).doc
