Additionally, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939) requires that local jurisdictions divert at least 50 percent of all solid waste generated by January 1, 2000. Per the City Program, individual projects within the Overlay zone would be required to comply with the Source Reduction and Recycling Element (SRRE) program for diverting the solid waste. The City already diverts 60 percent of its solid waste generated and is well above the compliance levels. Under the SRRE program, implementation of the Overlay Zone would be consistent with AB 939 as well. Thus, a less -than- significant impact would occur. No mitigation is required. Mitigation Measures MM-OZ 4.13-1 The developer is required to undertake a site -specific sewer evaluation, including flow monitoring required as part of the project design to determine the adequacy of the existing sewer pipe capacity in the affected project area lines. MM-OZ 4.13-2 The project shall implement energy conservation measures (such as energy - efficient lighting and micro -processor -controlled HVAC equipment) to reduce the demand for electricity and natural measures shall be subject to modification as new technologies are developed or if current technology becomes obsolete through replacement. 4.18.2 Does the Project propose changes that would result in new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts that will require major revisions of the Certified EIR? The Project includes the demolition and removal of all existing improvements from the Project Site and development of the site with a mixed -use development including up to 507 residential dwelling units, approximately 26,800 square feet of commercial uses, and associated parking, utility infrastructure, landscaping, and open space, all of which is allowed under the Overlay Zone, and is consistent with the Overlay Zone standards. The Project does not include any development that would extend beyond the permitted uses, density, and intensity or building envelope considered in the Certified EIR, and no changes are proposed to the Overlay Zone to accommodate the Project. The Project's water demand is within the envelope of projected water usage analyzed as part of the WSA conducted for the Certified EIR that concluded the uses and development density and intensity proposed within the Overlay Zone could be adequately served by the water purveyor. As discussed below, the Project would incorporate mitigation measures to further minimize impacts related to utilities and service systems, and accordingly, would not result in any new or increased significant impacts beyond those already identified in the Certified EIR. The Project's water and wastewater treatment requirements have been accounted for in the Certified EIR. The Project would be required to implement MM-OZ 4.7-2, which requires preparation of a Hydrology and Hydraulic Study to ensure the existing storm drain capacity could accommodate the Project. Further, the Project's energy consumption and solid waste generation has also been accounted for in the Certified EIR. Thus, the Project would not result in any new or increased significant impacts related to utilities and service systems beyond impacts already identified in the Certified EIR.
