4. 1. Earth<br />

detennined, preliminary indications are that the potential for liquefaction on the site is low. 10<br />

Therefore, seismic related settlements are expected to be minimal and structures on site should<br />

perfonn adequately during potential seismic events. Although development <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />

project would expose people and strUctures to groundshaking in the event <strong>of</strong> an earthquake, no<br />

unusual or unique risk due to groundshaking would result from development <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />

project. With implementation <strong>of</strong> the mitigation measures cited in the Program EIR, the seismic<br />

risk to which the proposed project would be exposed would be consistent with any restricted<br />

industrial development in the Redevelopment Area, resulting in less than significant impacts.<br />

MITIGATION MEASURES<br />

The following grading and seismic mitigation measures were listed in the Program EIR<br />

and may apply to the proposed project: 11<br />

1. Proposed developments will be required to comply with all applicable State and<br />

local building codes relating to seismic design including the seismic design<br />

criteria contained in the Uniform Building Code.<br />

2. Complete soils and geotechnical reports shall be conducted by qualified<br />

engineering soil scientists/geologists prior to project approval for all nonresidential<br />

projects and residential projects as required by the <strong>City</strong> Engineer.<br />

This investigation shall involve surface, subsurface, and laboratory analysis to<br />

identify any potential hazards. This analysis shall also include, but Dot be<br />

limited to, investigation <strong>of</strong> soils and groundwater characteristics necessary to<br />

detennine hazard potential and identify appropriate mitigation measures to reduce<br />

other seismic hazards to less than significant levels. Any recommendations<br />

stemming from these investigations shall be considered as conditions <strong>of</strong> approval.<br />

3. <strong>Development</strong> shall be subject to grading permits reviewed and approved by the<br />

<strong>City</strong> Engineer or their designers. Prior to issuance <strong>of</strong> grading permits, a soils<br />

engineering report conforming to <strong>City</strong> requirements shall be submitted and<br />

approved by the <strong>City</strong> Engineer.<br />
