Charles Jany May 19, 2011 Page 11 result in significant impacts relating to Hazards and Hazardous Materials. It is our preliminary understanding from the City that there are no anticipated contaminant issues associated with the site and our budget reflects this understanding. Land Use Impacts The potential of the project to have a significant impact upon the existing character of the neighborhood will be discussed in depth, and other potential land use impacts resulting from construction and operation of the proposed project will be evaluated to ensure consistency with the City's General Plan and zoning code. • Noise Impacts ICF will identify relevant noise regulations and planning standards and determine significance thresholds by which to compare project impacts. The nearest noise- sensitive land uses are residences directly adjacent to the project site. Existing noise conditions in the project area will be summarized based on the technical report, and the significance of construction and operations noise impacts will be assessed based on relevant City, state and federal thresholds. Where significant noise impacts are identified, mitigation to reduce impacts to a less than significant level (where feasible) will be identified in the IS /MND. Transportation and Circulation Impacts ICF will evaluate the results of the Traffic, Transportation and Circulation technical report provided by the applicant and apply relevant policies, plans and regulations provided by the City and County regarding traffic levels of service, parking, and emergency access. Existing traffic in the project area will be summarized based on the technical report and the significance of traffic and circulation impacts will be assessed based on relevant thresholds. Where significant impacts are identified, mitigation to reduce impacts to a Tess than significant level (where feasible) will be . identified in the IS /MND. Deliverables • The administrative IS /MND in electronic MS Word and PDF format Assumptions: • The Air Quality technical report will provide a quantitative analysis of all air quality and greenhouse gas emissions related to construction and operation of the proposed project, consistent with BAAQMD thresholds of significance • A detailed analysis of proposed project emissions will pass the BAAQMD's risk and hazard screening analysis, thereby eliminating the need to prepare a quantitative health risk assessment
