<br />Additionally, the proposed project would be subject to the <br />seismic safety standards of the Uniform Building Code. <br />Preparation of the geologic study and compliance with the <br />Uniform Building Code would reduce potential seismic hazard <br />impacts to a level considered less than significant. <br /> <br />Mitigation Measure <br /> <br />. Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the <br />applicant shall prepare a site-specific geotechnical <br />report that addresses seismic constraints, <br />liquefaction potential, soil conditions, project <br />building load requirements and identifies design <br />recommendations to ensure the geotechnical stability <br />of the project. <br /> <br />A-3. Seismic-related ground failure, including <br />liquefaction? <br /> <br />Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated <br /> <br />Soil liquefaction occurs when loose soil deposits below the <br />water table are subjected to large ground accelerations <br />generated from seismic events. Liquefaction is generally <br />known to occur in saturated cohesionless soils at depths <br />shallower than about 50-feet. <br /> <br />The City's General Plan Land Use Element FEIR 97-01 <br />provides a broad overview of liquefaction risks in the <br />City. According to the City's General Plan Land Use Element <br />FEIR 97-01, the project site is considered to have Medium <br />to High potential for liquefaction hazard impacts. However, <br />site-specific geotechnical studies would need to be <br />prepared to determine the onsite liquefaction risks on the <br />project site. Through the City's development review <br />process, the proposed project would be required to prepare <br />a site-specific geotechnical study that addresses the <br />liquefaction constraints on the project site and the <br />building load requirements of the proj ect. Additionally, <br />the proposed project would be subject to the seismic safety <br />standards of the Uniform Building Code. Preparation of the <br />site-specific geotechnical report and compliance with the <br />Uniform Building Code would reduce potential liquefaction <br />hazard impacts to a level considered less than significant. <br />Mitigation Measure <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />758-26 <br />
