California region. Through the City's development review process, the proposed project would be required to prepare a site-specific geologic study that addresses the seismic constraints on the project site and the building load requirements of the project. Additionally, the proposed project would be subject to the seismic safety standards of the Uniform Building Code. Preparation of the geologic study and compliance with the Uniform Building Code would reduce potential seismic hazard impacts to a level considered less than significant. 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 proj ect site is considered to have High to Very High potential for liquefaction hazard impacts. Through the City's development review process, the proposed project would be required to prepare a site-specific geotechnical study that addresses the liquefaction constraints on the project site and the building load requirements of the project. Additionally, the proposed project would be subject to the seismic safety standards of the Uniform Building Code. Preparation of the site-specific geotechnical report and 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 lS 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 proposed project would not result ln adverse impacts in regards to landslides. 9 31A-33
