Contributions of DSP, DSP-V, CPP, and CPP-V Scenarios to Cumulative Impacts

Sensitive upland habitat and special status plant and butterfly species occur within the Project Site only on Icehouse Hill, which is being preserved in open space. In addition, specific mitigation is proposed for bird strike impacts to increase nighttime visibility of buildings. Thus, Project Site development would not make a cumulative considerable contribution to the significant cumulative impact described above in relation to habitats within the vicinity of the Baylands.

Because adverse impacts on meadow and alluvial features in the reach of the Tuolumne River between Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (O’Shaughnessy Dam) and Don Pedro Reservoir, particularly within the Poopenaut Valley, would result from diversions as small as 2 mgd, the amount of the diversion in the proposed water supply agreement, a significant impact was determined to result from the proposed water supply agreement.

Conclusion: Because Project Site development would not result in loss of sensitive upland habitat areas or impact special status species, it would not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to the significant cumulative impact described above. However, a significant impact was determined to result from the proposed water supply agreement. The proposed water supply agreement would make a cumulatively considerable contribution to the significant cumulative impact described for the reach of the Tuolumne River between Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (O’Shaughnessy Dam) and Don Pedro Reservoir. However, implementation of the mitigation measures aimed at providing pulse flows through the Poopenaut Valley by the SFPUC (WSIP EIR) and by the City of Brisbane (Baylands EIR) would reduce cumulative impacts of the proposed water supply agreement on biological resources within the Poopenaut Valley to less than significant.

Cumulative development would increase residential population and generate new employment, which would increase the demand on library services. However, public library facilities in San Francisco are in a system separate from that of San Mateo County, and are intended to serve the needs of San Francisco residents. Development of the Baylands with residential uses as proposed in the DSP and DSP-V scenarios would cause a significant impact on existing Brisbane and San Mateo County library facilities; therefore, Mitigation Measure 4.L-4 requires a new library to be
