HYD-5 Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan? Summary of Impacts in the GP EIR As discussed in detail in Section 5.9, Hydrology anal water Quality, of the GP EIR, the Approved Project would Involve disturbance, construction, and operation of land uses that could generate pollutants affecting storinwater. However, the Approved Project would comply with RRs HYD-1 through HYD-5 and implement GP policies (Policy 1.7 of the Safety Element, Policy 3.5 of the Public Services Element, and Policy 4.6 of the Conservation Element) to reduce impacts on water quality (GP EIR p. 5.9-29-5.9-32). The GP EIR determined that impacts would be less than significant. The GP EIR determined that the Approved Project kvould increase the demand on groundwater use but not interfere with groundwater recharge or management (GP EIR p. 5.9-33). The GP EIR determined that impacts would be less than sigi-lifi c a n t - The GP EIR identified that portions of the City are within inundation areas for the Santiago Creek Dam and Prado Dam; however, impacts due to inundation by the Santiago Creek Dam and Prado Dam were determined to be less than significant. (GP EIR p. 5.9-35-5.9-36). Additionally, the GP EIR identified that impacts due to seiche would be less than significant for dam inundation areas, and impacts of -a tsunami would be negligible. (GP EIR p. 5.9-36). The GP EIR determined that with compliance with RR HYD -6 and GP policies, impacts would be less than significant. The GP EIR determined that the Approved Project would maintain the existing drainage pattern and utilize existing drainage facilities N.Vidmil the public rights -of -way. Additionally, the GP EIR identified that the city is mostly built out apart from a small number of lots that will be developed under Approved Project conditions (GP EIR 5.9-32). The GP EIR determined that impacts related to alteration of existing drainage patterns or streams would be less than significant. The GP EIR determined that the Approved Project would comply with applicable regulatory requirements that would ensure surface and groundwater quality are not adversely impacted. Additionally, the GP EIR identified that new development under the Approved Project would connect to the City-s public water supply, and there would be no use of on -site wells for groundwater. The GP EIR determined that the increase in water demand due to development pursuant to the GP would not adversely imp -act the management of the basin (GP EIR p. 5.9-37). The GP EIR determined that with compliance with RRs HYD-1 through HYD-5 and implementation of GP policies, impacts would be less than significant, Analysis of the Modified Project The Modified Project would expressly prohibit STRs and only affect existing structures. It would not result in development, redevelopment, or changes to existing development types in the city. The existing conditions related to hydrology and water quality 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. The operational water demand under the Modified Project would be consistent with the water demand analyzed in the GP EIR for residential Ordinance NS-3072
