Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road Initial Study and Negative Declaration minimum standards for building design through the California Building Code, including specific seismic safety requirements. State earthquake protection law requires that buildings be designed to resist stresses produced by lateral forces caused by earthquakes. As a condition of approval, the project would be required to comply with the applicable codes and standards to provide earthquake resistant design to meet or exceed current seismic requirements and mitigate any specific soil condition concerns. Additionally, the project would be conditioned to comply with the recommendations in the geotechnical report and peer review. Therefore, the potential impact would be categorized as less than significant. d) Expansive soils can undergo significant volume changes in moisture content. They shrink and harden when dried and expand and soften when wet. To mitigate these potential impacts to acceptable levels and ensure that foundation systems are capable of tolerating or resisted potential damaging soil movements, the geotechnical report recommends several measures to be implemented into the design of foundations, irrigation and site drainage, and surface improvements; and during site preparation, including over-excavation of soils. These measures are required to be implemented, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, as conditions of project approval. Therefore, the potential impact would be categorized as less than significant. e) No septic systems or alternative wastewater disposal systems are proposed as part of the project. The existing residence is connected to the City sanitary sewer system and the new homes would also be connected to City sanitary sewer system; therefore, the project would have 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 Plan5 (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 was deemed a "Qualified Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy" in accordance with the District's CEQA guidelines. 25 , subject to the review and approval of the Director of Engineering/City Engineer. Compliance with these recommendations are required as conditions of approval. Therefore, potential impacts would be less than significant. c) Site explorations conducted by PRA determined that the potential for liquefaction at this site is very low. The geotechnical analysis included recommendations to prevent landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction and collapse on the project site. The State of California provides 24 ical significance specifically designated by official action; 5.A stand of trees, the nature of which makes each dependent upon the other for survival or the area's natural beauty. 20 ive by having the additional two parcels.
