Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Harbor View Project PAGE 7 OF 48 ESA / 170951 Final Environmental Impact Report October 2022 ATTY/RESO.0085/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA – EXHIBIT A REV: 11-02-2022 VR Impact AIR-5: The Project would result in emissions of criteria air pollutants, but not at levels that could violate an air quality standard, or contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. Findings Regarding Impact AIR-5: Estimated operational criteria pollutant emissions reported in the DEIR would not exceed the thresholds, and the reduced development of the Revised Project would further reduce the emissions generated (DEIR Table 4.2-6 and FEIR Table 5-2.) Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. (DEIR, pp. 4.2-26 to 4.2-27; FEIR, p. 2-11.) Impact AIR-6: The Project operations would generate toxic air contaminants (TACs), including diesel particulate matter, and carbon monoxide exposure, but would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial air pollutant concentrations. Findings Regarding Impact AIR-6: A significant source of TACs would not occur with the Revised Project given its estimated number of daily vehicle trips and the development’s proposed use of natural gas (not diesel) fired generators, which emit only negligible levels of TACs, and the number of traffic volumes at affected intersections in the vicinity. Moreover, the Revised Project involves less development than analyzed in the Draft EIR. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. (DEIR, pp. 4.2-27 to 4-2-29.) Impact AIR-7: The Project would not create objectionable odors that would affect a substantial number of people. Findings Regarding Impact AIR-7: The Revised Project would not create any new source of objectionable odors. Therefore, operational odor impacts of the Project would be less than significant. 4.3 Biological Resources Impact BIO-1.CU: The Project, combined with cumulative development in the Project vicinity, would not result in significant cumulative impacts on special-status species, sensitive habitats, wildlife movement corridors, wetlands, and other waters of the U.S. Findings Regarding Impact BIO-1.CU: The vicinity of the Revised Project site largely includes areas that have previously been developed. Cumulative developments, particularly those in proximity to water and natural resources, have been or will be adequately assessed for their potential to result in significant environmental effects and would be required to implement adopted mitigation measures to reduce such impacts. The Revised Project, as well as other future projects would be required to comply with local, state, and federal laws and policies and all applicable permitting requirements of the regulatory and oversight agencies intended to address potential impacts on biological resources. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. (DEIR, pp. 4.3-35 to 4.3-36; FEIR, pp. 2-11 to 2-12.)
