Biological Resources Environmental Analysis Less than Due to the increase in allowable building height under the Similar to the conclusions in significant proposed project, the duration and extent of ground -disturbing the General Plan EIR, the activities could exceed those previously analyzed by the Final EIR, proposed project would as taller buildings often require larger and deeper foundations. result in less than significant As discussed in Section 2, Project Description, the proposed impacts to local air quality. project would result in an increase in maximum allowable No new or more severe building height from 40 to 60 feet. However, this change in impacts would occur. allowable building height would not be enough to require Impacts would be within substantial changes to building foundation designs. Thus, the scope of those construction activities associated with development allowed identified in the General under the proposed project would not be substantially different Plan EIR. from those analyzed in the Final EIR. Furthermore, the proposed project would not involve changes to General Plan policies concerning construction emissions. Therefore, although the proposed project would increase construction duration in the MULW district beyond levels analyzed in the Final EIR, and the Bay Area Air Basin remains in non -attainment for criteria pollutants as of January 2019, the proposed project would not result in new significant impacts.
