Environmental Checklist <br />Wildfire <br /> <br />General Plan Consistency Checklist 93 <br />d. If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity <br />zones, would the project expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslopes <br />or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or <br />drainage changes? <br />The project would introduce new residents to the project site, which is located approximately 200 <br />feet west of a very high fire hazard severity zone. The project would result in less impervious surface <br />area. Further, project design includes three bio-retention basins, which would prevent surface <br />runoff from flowing directly onto adjacent properties. Compared with existing conditions, the <br />proposed project would decrease the volume of stormwater runoff from the site. Therefore, the <br />project would not increase off-site flooding or landslides because of surface runoff. This impact <br />would be less than significant. <br />LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT WITH MITIGATION INCORPORATED <br />Conclusion <br />While the project site is located near a fire hazard area, the project would not increase the <br />likelihood or severity of wildfire hazards. Compliance with applicable 2035 General Plan policies and <br />City design guidelines would ensure the project would result in less than significant wildfire impacts. <br />The project would have no new or substantially more severe impacts to wildfires, nor would there <br />be any potentially significant off-site impacts, cumulative impacts, or previously identified significant <br />effects not discussed in the General Plan EIR. No previously identified significant effects were <br />determined to have a more severe adverse impact than those discussed in the General Plan EIR.
