Prior EIR Determination Effect Peculiar to Project Site? New Significant Effect? New Significant Off-Site, Cumulative Impact? New Information, More Severe Adverse Impact? DTPP EIR DTPP Plan- Wide Amendments SEIR Focused GPU EIR III. AIR QUALITY – Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? LTS LTS SU No No No No b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? LTS SU after Mitigation SU after mitigation No No No No c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? LTS with Mitigation LTS with Mitigation SU after mitigation No No No No d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? LTS with Mitigation LTS LTS No No No No Documentation: 1900 Broadway Component: a. The Downtown Precise Plan program EIR (pp. 12-17 and 12-18) concluded that: (a) because development occurring in conformance with the DTPP would be consistent with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) 2010 Clean Air Plan control measures and (b) because the projected rate of increase in new vehicle trips resulting from the DTPP would be less than the associated projected rate of population growth (in accordance with the BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality guidelines at the time), the DTPP was consistent with the applicable air quality plan (at that time) and impacts were less than significant and no mitigations were required. The DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments program SEIR (pp. 12-25 through 12-32) analyzed the implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments in accordance with the 2017 BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines and concluded that it would not obstruct implementation of any measures in the BAAQMD 2017 Clean Air Plan (the applicable Clean Air Plan during the preparation of the SEIR) and similarly concluded that impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation measures were required. This was because “required compliance with regulations from various agencies (see DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments SEIR Table 12-8 -- Consistency With Potentially Applicable Control Measures In 2017 Clean Air Plan Control Measures) as well as the City, and implementation of SEIR Mitigation Measures AQ-2a and AQ-2b required to mitigate Impact AQ-2 would ensure that implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would be consistent and support all applicable control measures from the 2017 Clean Air Plan,” as discussed further in item (b), below. The 1900 Broadway project component would be required to comply with applicable control measures in the 2017 Clean Air Plan as listed in SEIR Table 12-8. These include requirements such as: (1) applicable BAAQMD rules and regulations such as rules regarding diesel-powered generators and fire pumps, architectural coatings and other materials, control of vehicle dust track-out; (2) City plans and programs such as the Redwood City Reach Codes, General Plan transportation goals, and the City’s Tree Preservation and Grading ordinances; (3) State Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and mandatory CALGreen measures; and others. As discussed in the following sections, the proposed project component would be required to implement the following DTPP Plan-Wide Amendment program SEIR mitigation measures, or applicable parts: Mitigation Measure AQ-2a (“Best Management Practices for Construction Dust Suppression”), Mitigation Measure AQ-2b (“Emission Reduction Measures for Projects Exceeding the Significance Thresholds for Criteria Pollutants”), Mitigation Measure AQ-3a (“Emission Reduction Measures for Subsequent Projects Exceeding the Significance Thresholds for Health Risks from Construction”), and Mitigation Measure AQ-3c (“Design for Diesel Delivery Truck Emissions Minimization”). Compliance with these air quality plan requirements and implementation of these SEIR mitigation measures would ensure that impacts related to conflicts with air quality control plan would be less than significant. See item (b) below for project implementation of SEIR Mitigation Measures AQ-2a and AQ-2b. See item (c) below for project implementation of SEIR Mitigation Measures AQ-3a and AQ-3c.
