The project site is not part of a State Responsibility Area, and Cal Fire maps indicate the site and vicinity are not designated within a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone or higher. The project site is in an area not prone to wildfires, and wildfire risk would be reduced with project development and subsequent reduction in open space area. The project would have no impact related to exposure of project occupants to wildfire hazards. c) Installation and Maintenance of Infrastructure. As noted, the project site is not in an area prone to wildfires. Infrastructure to serve the project, for the most part, has been installed except for proposed onsite infrastructure to serve the proposed lots. There would be no increase in fire risk due to the installation and maintenance of this infrastructure, as it would be installed within an area that would be developed for urban uses. The project would have no impact on this issue. d) Risks from Runoff, Post-Fire Slope Instability, or Drainage Changes. The project site is in a topographically flat area. Duck Creek crosses the project site, but it is mostly located in valley areas. As such, it is not expected that people or structures would be exposed to significant risks from changes resulting from fires in steeper areas to the east, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides. The project would have no impact related to risks from runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. 3.21 MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE Less Than Significant Potentially with Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant Impact Incorporated Impact No Impact a)Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment,substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species,cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b)Does the project have impacts that are individually limited,but cumulatively considerable?"Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects,the effects of other current projects,and the effects of probable future projects)? c)Does the project have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,either directly or indirectly?
