Compliance with potential seismic than significant. the Uniform Building Code would reduce hazard impacts to a level considered less A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact Soil liquefaction occurs when loose soil deposits below the water table are subjected to large ground accelerations generated from seismic events. Liquefaction is generally known to occur in saturated cohesionless soils at depths shallower than about 50-feet. According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element EIR, the project site is considered to have low potential for liquefaction hazard impacts. The proposed project involves the renovation of an existing building. Implementation of the proposed project would not increase the risk for liquefaction impacts. Additionally, the proposed project would be subject to the seismic safety standards of the Uniform Building Code. Compliance with the Uniform Building Code would reduce potential liquefaction hazard impacts to a level considered less than significant. A-4. Landslides No Impact The project area is flat without any topographical relief. According to City's General plan Land Use Element EIR, there are no landslide planes or slopes on the project site. Therefore, implementation of the project would not result in adverse impacts in regards to landslides. B. Would the project result in substantial soil or the loss of topsoil? erosion No Impact Erosion refers to the removal of soil from exposed bedrock surfaces by water or wind. The effects of erosion are intensified with an increase in slope, the narrowing of runoff channels and by the removal of groundcover, which leaves the soil exposed. 9 31Ä~1§
