42 1. Install air filtration for the 2nd floor dwelling units. Air filtration devices shall be rated MERV13 or higher. To ensure adequate health protection to sensitive receptors (i.e., residents), this ventilation system, whether mechanical or passive, shall filter all fresh air that would be circulated into the dwelling units. 2. The ventilation system shall be designed to keep the building at positive pressure when doors and windows are closed to reduce the intrusion of unfiltered outside air into the building. 3. As part of implementing this measure, an ongoing maintenance plan for the buildings’ heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) air filtration system shall be required that includes regular filter replacement. 4. Ensure that the use agreement and other property documents: (1) require cleaning, maintenance, and monitoring of the affected buildings for air flow leaks, (2) include assurance that new owners or tenants are provided information on the ventilation system, and (3) include provisions that fees associated with owning or leasing a unit(s) in the building include funds for cleaning, maintenance, monitoring, and replacements of the filters, as needed. Illingworth & Rodkin (p. 34) recommended incorporating these features into the site development plan and the “air intake design and MERV filter requirements also shall be noted and/or reflected on all building plans submitted to the City and shall be verified by the City’s Building Division and/or Planning Division.” Illingworth & Rodkin (p. 34) stated that with these design features, “impacts from Woodside Road would be below the BAAQMD single-source thresholds.” d. With respect to construction period odors, the Focused GPU program EIR (pp. 4.3-25 and 4.3-26) determined that odors resulting from construction, such as odors from fuel combustion or solvents/paints, would be temporary, would quickly disperse, and would not affect a substantial number of people. The Focused GPU program EIR determined that land uses under the Focused GPU would not result in land uses associated with odor complaints (such as agricultural operations, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, and certain industrial operations. Therefore, it found the potential impacts to be less than significant. The project component does not propose a food service business or other restaurant use; however, according to plans, a barbecue counter area would be proposed for the podium level common open space (Plan Sheet PL1.2) The project component would accommodate residential refuse and recycling in an enclosed trash room within the building (southwest corner). Waste service trucks would pull into a curb cut pick-up area adjacent to the project component garage driveway at street level, off Woodside Road, where waste bins would be the bins would be wheeled out from the trash room and down a ramp to a street-level staging area in the curb cut (Plan Sheet C.3, 10/30/23; Plan Sheet PA5.6, 10/27/23). Refuse and recycling pick-up would be provided by a local waste service provider (Recology) and would occur on a weekly basis. No substantial odor impacts are anticipated as a result of the project because (1) the project trash room would be fully enclosed within the building, and (2) trash would be picked-up on a regular schedule. The 847 Woodside project component would be consistent with the analysis in the Focused GPU EIR because it would not permit or authorize any new, major sources of potential odors (e.g., wastewater treatment plant), and any odors related to construction would be temporary and easily dispersed, the impact would be less than significant, no additional mitigation would be required and there is no new information of substantial importance for CEQA purposes. CONCLUSION With regards to the issue area of Air Quality, the following findings can be made: (1) no peculiar impacts to the 847 Woodside project component or its site have been identified, (2) there are no potentially significant effects or off-site and/or cumulative impacts which were not discussed by the Focused GPU EIR, (3) no substantial new information has been identified which results in an impact which is more severe than anticipated by the Focused GPU EIR, and (4) feasible mitigation measures contained within the Focused GPU EIR, including AIR-2, would be applied to the project component and render its specific impacts less than significant. For these reasons, the air quality impacts of the proposed project component would be consistent with the impacts identified in the Focused GPU EIR and this project component does not require additional environmental review under CEQA Guidelines section 15183.
