Seismic Activity Impact: Potential for structure damage from seismic activity The City finds that the project may experience structure damage to dwellings at the site and slope and stream bank failures, due to seismic shaking. This is a potential significant impact (Draft EIR, page 8-17). Proposed Mitigation Measure of the EIR The EIR identified the following mitigation measure which would substantially avoid this impact. 8-16 Provide earthquake resistant design for buildings, underground utilities and other improvements (Draft EIR, page 8-17). Said mitigation measure was considered and adopted with any pertinent changes in Condition 8-16, Exhibit "B" of the City Council staff report dated June 16, 1992. Finding: Mitigation Measure 8-16 Feasible and Required The City finds that it is feasible to mitigate this impact [~ a less-than-significant level by requiring the applicant and successors in interest to incorporate the specific provisions of Mitigation 8-16 into the project design. The applicant and successors in interest shall incorporate such seismicity impact reduction provisions into project design as a "Condition of Approval" to the project. Drainage Impact: Downstream flooding and sedimentation The City finds that the increase in impervious surfaces created by the project may cause downstream flooding and sedimentation. This is a significant impact (Draft EIR, page 8-18). Proposed Mitigation Measure of the EIR The EIR identified the following mitigation measure which would substantially avoid this impact. 8-17 Implement hydraulic improvements to minimize the effects of increased runoff from project development (Draft EIR, page 8-18). Said mitigation measure was considered and adopted with any pertinent changes in Condition 8-17, Exhibit "B" of the City Council staff report dated June 16, 1992. 20
