$10 FINDINGS Although no significant adverse impacts on natural resources will result even if no recycled materials are used at the project, the mitigation measure contained in the Mitigation Monitoring Program as Mitigation Monitoring Program Number 48 will minimize the use of natural resources used at the project. Substantial evidence supporting this finding is contained in the record at page 4-66 of the Revised Draft EIR. H. RISK OF UPSET AND HUMAN HEALTH ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Earthquake Hazard The upper floors of the 32-story office building may be exposed to intense motion during an earthquake which can result in damage: pictures falling, book cases toppling, etc. Jet Fuel Line The project applicant and the city will design the street improvements which will involve the grading of Owens Drive which will expose the jet fuel pipe. The jet fuel line has been relocated and no impact or risk of upset occurred. Other Hazards The increase in traffic generated by the project could interfere with emergency response and evacuation plans for adjacent developments. Fire and police accessibility to the area may be hampered by development of structures and the accompanying vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Construction activities carry the potential for construction worker injury due to accidents, equipment failure or human error. The construction of high-rise office buildings carries additional hazards associated with soil movement and falling debris. The risks associated with construction of the project are consistent with other high-rise developments. Because of the proposed helistop, the project has an increased potential for helicopter crashes. This would mean potential damage to property and surrounding buildings and injury to persons present at the site. FINDINGS The mitigation measures contained in the Mitigation Monitoring Program as Mitigation Monitoring Program Numbers 49 through 55 have been required in, or incorporated into, the project and those 20
