ATTY/RESO.0034/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA APPROVAL – 505 E. BAYSHORE – EXHIBIT A REV: 05-12-23 JB Page 15 of 30 The Project site is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones; therefore, the project would not result in wildfire impacts. The Project site is not located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones; therefore would not result in cumulative wildfire impacts. 21. Growth-Inducing Impacts. These findings regarding the Project’s potential growth- inducing impacts are based on the analysis on pages 216 to 217 of the DEIR, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety. Impact GRO-1: The Project would not foster or stimulate significant economic or population growth in the surrounding environment. The Project would not result in significant indirect growth-including impacts. B. Findings Regarding Potentially Significant Impacts. The following potential environmental impacts of the 505 East Bayshore Road Project were determined to be potentially significant and to require mitigation measures to avoid their effects or to reduce their severity, as set forth in Chapter 3 of the DEIR, as incorporated into the EIR. The Planning Commission concurs with the conclusions in the DEIR, as incorporated into the EIR, and makes the following findings with respect to such potentially significant impacts. 1. Air Quality Impact AIR-1: Construction activities associated with the Project would expose sensitive receptors near the project site to Toxic Air Contaminant emissions in excess of the BAAQMD cancer risk threshold of >10 cases per million and annual PM2.5 concentration threshold of 0.3 µg/m3. Mitigation Measures. EIR Mitigation Measure AIR-1.1 will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact AIR-1. The City Council finds that incorporating the requirements of Mitigation Measure AIR-1.1 into the Project would substantially lessen the severity of Impact AIR-1, such that this impact would be less than significant, because Mitigation Measure AIR-1.1 requires the project applicant to submit a construction operations plan to the Director of Community Development & Transportation or the Director’s designee that includes specifications of the equipment to be used during construction. The plan shall be accompanied by a letter signed by an air quality specialist, verifying that the equipment included in the plan meets certain standards. With implementation of Mitigation Measure MM AIR-1.1, the cancer risk and annual PM2.5 concentration would be reduced to below the BAAQMD single- source threshold. 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 32
