Facts in Support of the Finding <br /> <br />Natural gas lines serving uses on the site could be damaged during earthquakes which could cause <br />explosions and fires. The potential for natural gas lines being raptured during an earthquake and <br />causing explosions can be reduced to a less than significant level through the implementation of <br />the following mitigation measure: <br /> <br />All buildings shall be designed and constructed in'compliance with the Seismic Safety <br />Element of the City's General Plan and all applicable portions of the Uniform Building <br />Code and Building and Municipal Code of the Public Works Agency. <br /> <br />New gas lines shall be equipped with automatic shut-offvalves that will be activated in the <br />event of a major earthquake. <br /> <br />Significant Effect <br /> <br />Heavy equipment and other non-structural features could impact property and people on the site <br />during periods of groundshaking if not securely fastened. <br /> <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project <br />which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in <br />the Final EIR. <br /> <br />Facts in Sup.non of the Finding <br /> <br />During both proj~ construction and throughout the life of the project heavy equipment could fall <br />onto people and/or damage buildings if not securely fastened. Potential impacts due to equipment <br />falling would be reduced to a less than significant level through the implementation of the <br />following mitigation measure: <br /> <br />All potentially dangerous non-structural features of the project as determined by the <br />Planning Division shall be tied into structural elements of the building. Heavy equipment <br />and other potentially hazardous objects shall be secured to floors and/or walls. <br /> <br />HYDROLOGY~RAINAGE <br /> <br />123 <br /> <br />Significant Effect <br /> <br />The increased Mn-off generated by the project will decrease the capacity of the existing storm <br />drain system that serves the site. Based on the preliminary hydrology study prepared for the <br />project, the existing storm drain system serving the site does not have adequate capacity to handle <br />the mnoffgenerated by the project. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
