Therefore, the potential for adverse wild land fires hazard impacts related to transportation
improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS at the regional level are
considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-8. No mitigation is required.
B. Localized Impacts
The localized impacts associated with implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS are the same
in each of the Community Types as described in the regional impacts discussion above. Land
use and transportation projects in Center and Corridor Communities, Established Communities,
Developing Communities, Rural Residential Communities, and Lands Not Identified for
Development are regulated by Title 14 of the C.C.R., Division 1.5 discussed in the regional
analysis. Therefore, implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS would not expose people or
structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wild land fires, including where
wild lands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wild lands.
Therefore, the potential for adverse wild land fires hazard impacts related to land use and
transportation improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS at the localized
level are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-8. No mitigation is required.
C. Transit Priority Area Impacts
As with the localized impacts discussed above, the Transit Priority Area impacts associated with
implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS are the same in each of the Transit Priority Areas as
described in the regional impacts discussion above. Land use and transportation projects in the
Transit Priority Areas are regulated by Title 14 of the C.C.R., Division 1.5 discussed in the
regional analysis. Therefore, implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS would not expose
people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wild land fires,
including where wild lands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed
with wild lands.
Therefore, the potential for adverse wild land fires hazard impacts related to land use and
transportation improvements from implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS at the TPA level
are considered less than significant (LS) for Impact HAZ-8. No mitigation is required.
Impact HAZ-9: Result in construction impacts that would cause a hazard to the public or
the environment.
A. Regional Impacts
Regional development could include a variety of land uses, ranging from residential to
commercial or industrial uses, to provide increased goods and services to the region. Short-term
construction related impacts could cause hazards to the public or the environment from urban
infill and redevelopment to new construction of structures, buildings, and other uses.
Construction impacts related to the implementation of the proposed MTP/SCS could result from
the routine use, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials and waste by rail or trucks that
share facilities with the public, and from reasonably foreseeable upset or accident conditions
