<br />6.3. The proj ect site could potentially be subj ect to moderate <br />to severe ground shaking in the event of a major earthquake on <br />Newport Inglewood Fault or on one of the nearby faults in the <br />southern California region. However, the seismic risk at the <br />project site is not considered significantly different from <br />other areas in the region. To minimize potential seismic shaking <br />impacts, the proposed proj ect would be subj ect to the seismic <br />safety standards of the Uniform Building Code. Compliance with <br />the Uniform Building Code would reduce potential seismic impacts <br />to a level considered less than significant. <br /> <br />(A-3) Less Than Significant Impact <br /> <br />Liquefaction is the loss of the strength in generally cohesion <br />less, saturated soils when the pore-water pressure induced in <br />the soil by a seismic event becomes equal to or exceeds the <br />overburden pressure. According to the City's General Plan Land <br />Use Element EIR, the project site is considered to have High- <br />Medium potential for liquefaction hazards. Through the City's <br />development review process, the proposed project would be <br />required to prepare a geotechncial report to evaluate the <br />liquefaction constraints on the project site. If needed, design <br />recommendations would be provided to minimize potential <br />liquefaction impacts. <br /> <br />(A-4) No Impact <br /> <br />The project site is flat without any topographical relief. <br />According to the City's General Plan, there are no landslide <br />planes on the project site. Therefore, implementation of the <br />proposed project would not result in adverse impacts in regards <br />to landslides. <br /> <br />(B) Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated <br /> <br />The proposed project would require earthwork activity and site <br />preparation for the construction of a building pad and parking <br />areas. Uncovered soils on the project site could potentially <br />result in erosion and sedimentation impacts to onsite and <br />offsite drainage facilities. This potential impact could <br />increase during periods of rain. To reduce potential erosion <br />impacts to a level considered less than significant, the <br />following mitigation measure shall be implemented. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />75~3~58 <br />
