Initial Study and Negative Declaration d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18- 1 -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? x x DISCUSSION a. The project site not located within an Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone as identified by the California Geological Surveys. Also, the project will be required to meet the requirements of the California Building Code and conditions of approval for the project will require that the project meet or exceed seismic requirements. The site has generally flat terrain and there are no known landslides on the property. Therefore, these would be less - than- significant impacts or no- impact. b -d. The northern portion of the proposed site includes a northerly upslope of approximately eight vertical feet. The preliminary grading plan shows that a two- tiered retaining wall would be installed in this area to create an outdoor dining area for the restaurant. Conditions of approval will require that this two- tiered retaining wall be designed adequately to hold the surcharge from the slope above. Additionally, conditions of approval would require the project engineer to provide structural calculations to demonstrate the strength of the wall. In addition, the proposed development will be required to comply with stormwater runoff requirements and other applicable erosion - control measures. A site - specific soils analysis would be required in conjunction with the building permit review. Therefore, these would be less - than- significant impacts. e. The project scope does not entail the use of septic tanks and will utilize existing or proposed new infrastructure to connect to existing water and sewer lines. Therefore, this would be no- impact. 5.7. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The BAAQMD encourages local jurisdictions to adopt a qualified Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Strategy that is consistent with Assembly Bill (AB) 32 goals. AB 32 mandated local governments to adopt strategies to reduce GHG emissions. Consistent with the objectives of AB 32, the City has adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to outline strategies to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. The CAP was reviewed by the Bay Area Quality Management District and 27
