Approved Project would not interfere with emergency response, services, and evacuation plans and therefore impacts would be less than significant. The city is not witl-in a fire hazard severity zone ('HSZ), and buildout of the Approved Project will not expose structures and/or residence to wildfire danger; thus, impacts would be less than significant (GP EIR p. 5.8-29- 5.8-30). Analysis of the Modified Project The Modified Project would expressly prohibit STRs and only affect existing structures. The Modified Project would not require development, redevelopment, or changes, to existing development types in the city; thus, no new sensitive -receptors would be exposed to hazards or hazardous waste. Additionally, the existing conditions related to hazards and hazardous materials have not changed since the certification of the GP EIR. The Modified Project is not anticipated to result in any physical impacts on the environment. No impacts would occur. The Modified Project would not result in any new or more severe significant impacts than those identified in the GP EIR. GP EIR RR HAZ-1 and RR HAZ-7 are not applicable to the, Modified Project because the Modified Project does not require construction to be implemented. The Modified Project would not obstruct the City's ability to implement applicable GP policies. 4.10 HYDROLOGYAND WATER QUALITY According to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, a. project would normally have a significant effect on the environment if the project would: H Y-D - 1 Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality?
