<br />Earthquake Zones or landslides within the City. However, <br />several active faults are located within fifty miles of the <br />Ci ty. In the event a moderate to high earthquake occurs along <br />one of these faults, portions of the City could experience <br />moderate seismic shaking. Additionally, according to the <br />General Plan EIR the potential for liquefaction within the City <br />ranges from very low to very high. <br /> <br />Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family <br />residential standards would not increase the potential for <br />seismic impacts, liquefaction or landslide impacts, in that the <br />proposed amendment would not directly involve the construction <br />of any structures. Potential seismic and liquefaction impacts <br />associated with the proposed ordinance amendment would be <br />considered less than significant. While single family <br />residential land uses developed under the amended standards <br />could result in impacts to proposed structures, the city's <br />development review process would evaluate potential seismic, <br />liquefaction and landslide impacts. <br /> <br />The amendments to correct, clarify and update residential front <br />yard fences, definitions, second dwellings units, laundromats, <br />vending machines, townhouses, specific development standards and <br />Specific Development No. 40 zone district would not be subj ect <br />to significant seismic impacts. <br /> <br />B. Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the <br />loss of topsoil? <br /> <br />No Impact <br /> <br />Erosion refers to the removal <br />surfaces by water or wind. <br />intensified with an increase in <br />channels and by the removal of <br />soil exposed. <br /> <br />of soil from exposed bedrock <br />The effects of erosion are <br />slope, the narrowing of runoff <br />groundcover, which leaves the <br /> <br />Approval of the proposed amendment to the single family <br />residential standards would not result in or increase the <br />potential for soil erosion or sedimentation impacts, in that the <br />proposed amendment would not directly involve any construction <br />activities that would disturb or uncover soils. While single <br />family residential land uses developed under the amended <br />standards could result in erosion impacts, the city's <br />development review process would evaluate potential erosion <br />impacts. <br /> <br />7&~4P2 <br />
