SECTION 2. The Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project has identified the following significant effects or potentially significant effects, but in response to each significant effect so identified, the Project has been altered to avoid or substantially lessen the effect as set forth in the report and as summarized below: A. Air Quality. The proposed project will generate incremental impacts to local and regional air quality. Because of the small size of the proposed project, the magnitude of impacts is not significantly adverse, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District. B. Soils and Geology. The site may be subject to ground shaking during a seismic event. Conformance 0 0 with the standards and regulations of the Uniform Building Code, as implemented by the City of Azusa, will mitigate the impact of a seismic event through engineering design. C. Hydrology. The Project will increase surface runoff and reduce permeable surfaces. The drainage plan of the Project will be subject to approval by the City Engineer and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. Any potential adverse impacts can be both identified and mitigated through this review process. D. Biota. The construction of the Project will not disturb any areas of natural habitat. No adverse impacts are expected. E. Cultural Resources. The proposed development is not expected to impact any unique cultural resources, prehistoric or historic. F. Traffic. The Project will generate 800 daily vehicle trips, 75 of which will occur during the evening peak hour. After Project completion, all roadways in the vicinity of the Project will continue to operate at Level of Service B, or better. The Project will have no adverse impact on the carrying capacity of the surrounding roadway system. For operational safety, the report recommends that landscaping and signs be limited to 36 inches in height within 25 feet of Project driveways. G. Noise. Temporary noise impacts from construc- tion equipment on neighboring land uses can be mitigated by limiting construction activities to weekdays from the hours of 7:00 a.m, through 7:00 p.m., and by compliance with the City's noise ordinance. H. Land Use. The Project will increase land -use intensity at the Project site. The report recom- mends that the number of units constructed should be reduced by one unit to conform to the upper - density limit of the Land -Use Element of the General Plan. The proposed use is compatible with the surrounding area and there is adequate infra- structure to meet increased service demands. G. Public Services and Utilities. There is adequate capacity to meet the needs generated by the Project. There will be no adverse impacts to existing services and facilities. Police service demands can be reduced through the installation of security gates and the provision of building identification in highly visible areas. SECTION 3.
