City Place Focused Environmental Impact Report Findings and Facts in Support of Finding~j Changes, or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the environmental effect as identified in the EIR. Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Safety Hazard Impacts As discussed in Section 4.5 of the EIR, the potential impacts of tbe proposed project related to the abandoned jet fuel line would be less than significant. However, there is slight possibility that the existing underground jet fuel line could become active. Therefore, the following precautionary proj ect enhancement measure is included to ensure full disclosure of the fuel line to future property owners. H-l Prior to the issuance of certificate of use and occupancy, a special disclosure statement of the presence of the jet fuel line is required to be included in all subdivision maps and deeds associated with the project site. Level of Significance of Imoacts Related to Safety Hazards The adverse impacts of the City Place project related to safety bazards will be minimized with the implementation of project enhancement measure H-l. 4.3 IMP ACTS FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT The City finds that, based on substantial evidence in the record, discussed below, the following impacts associated with the City Place project are less than significant and no mitigation is required. Additionally, the City finds, as set forth in Sections 4.1 (Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts of the City Place Project Which Cannot Be Mitigated to Below a Level of Significance) and 4.2 (potentially Significant Adverse Impacts of the City Place Project Wbich Can Be Mitigated to Below a Level of Significance), above, no otber potentially significant adverse project specific impacts of the proposed project are anticipated to occur. An Initial Study (IS) was completed at the beginning of the environmental review process for the proposed project, to identify those impacts that could be potentially significant and adverse and which required further study in an EIR. The IS also provided analysis on the enyironmenta] impacts of the project that were determined to be less than significant due to the identification and incorporation of mitigation early in the process or based on compliance with existing regulations. The fTndings of tbe IS are summarized in Section 3.0 (Effects Found Not to be Significant) in the EIR. The EIR and IS determined, based on substantial evidence in the record, tbat the following effects of the project would have no significant adverse or no adverse impact on the environment. 4.3.1 Aesthetics Based on the analysis summarized in Section 3.0 in the EIR, the City Place project will not result in significant adverse impacts related to light, scenic vistas and scenic resources.
