01/24/2011 <br /> Exhibit B <br /> Impact 11b. Airport Noise Impacts. The DPP area is located within two <br /> miles of the San Carlos Airport, but is outside the projected 55 dB CNEL <br /> contour published in the Redwood City General Plan and the CLUP. <br /> Therefore, the potential impact related to airport noise is considered less than <br /> significant. <br /> 12 Air Quality <br /> Impact 12a. Localized Carbon Monoxide Impacts. Development <br /> facilitated by the DPP would generate new vehicle trips and change traffic <br /> patterns, potentially increasing carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. Because <br /> intersections affected by the project are expected to experience traffic volumes <br /> below the BAAQMD CO concentration threshold of 44,000 vehicles per hour, <br /> the potential impact of the project on local CO levels is expected to be less <br /> than significant. <br /> 13 Climate Change <br /> Impact 13a. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Occupancy and <br /> Operation. Development allowed by the DPP would generate GHG <br /> emissions. However, the volume of estimated GHG emissions from the DPP <br /> is lower than the volume of GHG emissions that would be allowed under the <br /> current General Plan designations for the DPP area, which were evaluated in <br /> the General Plan EIR. In addition, the volume of estimated GHG emissions <br /> from the DPP is below the BAAQMD GHG emissions significance threshold <br /> and would represent a less than considerable contribution to the significant <br /> cumulative impact of global climate change. Therefore, the potential impacts <br /> from GHG emissions generated by implementation of the Project are expected <br /> to be less than significant. <br /> 14 Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br /> Impact 14a. Hazardous Materials Transport, Use or Disposal Impacts. <br /> The DPP would not directly permit any new development or uses, but <br /> hazardous substances may be generated, stored, transported, used or disposed <br /> of in association with the various residential and non - residential development <br /> projects and activities that would be allowed under the DPP. Application and <br /> enforcement of existing General Plan policies and federal, State and local <br /> regulation and oversight of hazardous materials, is expected to minimize the <br /> potential threat to public health and safety or the environment from hazardous <br /> materials transport, use or disposal. Therefore, the DPP's potential impacts <br /> U:\Resolutions\2011\Reso 15086 Exhibit B.doc 12 <br /> 012011 Reso. # 15086 <br /> Muff #601 <br />
