i~ i~ Environmental Checklist For CEQA Compliance 1. Raise the height of the dam by 30 feet, build a new intake tower, and construct improvements to the dam's outlet works (Mar 2003 -Sept 2003); 2. Construct dikes in the basin to protect property (Sept 2004 -Sept 2007); and 3. Raise the height of the adjacent spillway by 20 feet (Jul 2006 -Jan 2008) (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2004). The proposed project includes the construction of 38 single-family residential units on 6 acres. Therefore, the proposed project would place housing within a 100-year floodplain. However, in the event of a dam failure, based on the distance to Prado Dam, the projected depth of potential floodwaters (less than 1 foot), and the emergency warnings that would be issued in the event of dam failure, the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk. Impacts would be less than significant. F. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would involve the construction of 38 single- family residential units on 6 acres. As stated above, although the proposed project is located within the 100-year floodplain, improvements to Prado Dam would limit impacts to the project site. Therefore, existing structures on the project site would not impede or redirect flood flows. Impacts would be less than significant. G. Less Than Significant Impact. As stated previously under Section VIII-E, the proposed project is within the 100-year floodplain; however, improvements to Prado Dam would limit impacts to the project site. Impacts would be less than significant. IX. Land Use and Planning A. No Impact. The proposed project involves the construction of 38 single-family residential units and redesignation of the project site to comply with zoning, land use, and the new Specific Development Design standards. The amended zoning and land use designations for the project site would generally be compatible with the adjacent residential and commercial uses. The construction of 38 single-family residential units and the revised zoning and land use designations associated with the proposed project would not divide the existing community. No impacts would occur. u B. Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is zoned as Arterial Commercial (C5). Residential units are incompatible with this zoning; therefore, the City is proposing a zone amendment to a Specific Development No. 81 designation, which will allow the proposed project. After the zone amendment and Specific Development Plan, the zoning would be compatible with the proposed project for residential units, and less-than-significant impacts would occur. C. No Impact. The proposed project is located in an urbanized setting, and no locally designated species or natural communities are known to exist in the project area. The site is not part of any habitat conservation plan or natural community preservation plan. Therefore, no impacts would occur. X.
