the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact AQ -2a. Based on the Final EIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measure AQ -2a into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact AQ -2a, such that this impact would be less than significant, because Mitigation Measure AQ -2a requires all construction activities to occur in compliance with the Bay Area Air Quality District's best management practices, which the District has determined reduce the health risks associated with fugitive dust from construction activities to acceptable levels. This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages 4.2-23 through 4.2-24 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 2. Air Quality Impact AQ -2b: Construction activities associated with the proposed project would exceed the Air District's regional significance threshold for nitrous oxides (NOx). Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measure AQ -2b will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact AQ -2b. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measure AQ -2b into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact AQ -2b, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because Mitigation Measure AQ -2b requires all construction contractors to use construction equipment that meets or exceeds EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards and to take other steps to reduce emissions of nitrous oxides from construction equipment to satisfy the Bay Area Air Quality District's regional significance threshold for such emissions. This finding is based on the entire record of proceedings for the Project, including but not limited to the discussion and analysis set forth on pages 4.2- 24 through 4.2-26 of the DEIR, which includes a full statement of the impact and applicable mitigation measures and is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety. 3. Air Quality Impact AQ -3: Construction activities associated with the Project could cumulatively contribute to the non -attainment designations of the Air Basin. Mitigation Measures. Mitigation Measures AQ -2a and AQ -2b will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact AQ -3. The City Council hereby finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measures AQ -2a and AQ -2b into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact AQ -3, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because Mitigation Measure AQ -2a requires all construction activities to occur in compliance with the Bay Area Air Quality District's best management practices, and Mitigation Measure AQ -2b requires all construction contractors to use construction equipment that meets or exceeds EPA Tier 4 Final emissions standards and to take other steps to reduce emissions of nitrous oxides from construction equipment to satisfy the Bay Area Air Quality District's regional significance ATTY/RESO.0036/PC RESO CERTIFYING THE EIR — SOBRATO REV: 04-29-19 PR Page 16 of 29
