EXHIBIT A Facts in Support of Finding: A seiche—a surface wave created when a body of water is shaken by earthquake activity—is not likely to impact the Project area. The Geotechnical Engineering Investigation prepared for the Project site provides that no bodies of water are close enough to the Project site to result in a sieche impact. Therefore, no seiche impacts would occur. (Initial Study, p. 43.) A tsunami is not likely to impact the Project area since the Project area is approximately 11.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean, outside of the Tsunami Hazard Zone identified by the California Emergency Management Agency. Therefore, impacts related to tsunamis would not occur. (Initial Study, p. 43.) A mudflow is a landslide composed of saturated rock debris and soil with a consistency of wet cement. The Project area is flat and not near any hillsides that could be susceptible to mudflow. Thus, no mudflow impacts would occur. (Initial Study, p. 43.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and the Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Initial Study, p. 43.) 9.10 Land Use and Planning 9.10.1 Divide a Community Threshold: Would the Project physically divide an established community? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 44.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project site is developed with a vacant two-story office building that was used by the Wells Fargo bank. The site is adjacent to the south and the east by a single-family residential community, the north by a park, and by a museum and motel to the west across N. Main Street. Implementation of the proposed Project would change the site from an office building to multi -family residential uses, which would extend the residential uses in the community. The existing residential community would not be physically divided by the Project. Rather, the Project would be located at the edge of the residential community and would extend the community. In addition, the Project would redevelop only the Project site and would not change roadways or areas outside of the Project site. Thus, the Project would result in less than significant impacts related to physical division of an established community. (Initial Study, p. 44.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed in the DEIR and the Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. (Initial Study, p. 44.) 9.10.2 Conflict with Plans Threshold: Would the Project conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the Project adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, pp. 4.7-16 through 4.7-34.) Facts in Support of Finding: As discussed in Section 4.7, Land Use and Planning, of the DEIR, the Resolution No. Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR 75E-75 Page 37 of 71
