8. B. - Page 154 ■Biology — No habitat currently on-site. Project will remove 3 trees and plant 85 new trees. ■Hazardous Materials — No measurable levels of contamination on-site from previous land uses. No off-site contamination has migrated onto the site. Due to age of the building, lead-based paint and asbestos are likely to be present. Will be abated in accordance with National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants guidelines and Cal-OSHA requirements. ■Land Use — No compatibility issue with surrounding land uses, no shade/shadow impacts, will not contribute to jobs/housing imbalance ■Energy — Project will result in an overall net increase in energy usage but will conform to 2010 California Green Building Code & include addition green building measures to reduce energy usage. The project will not result in the wasteful use of fuel or energy, substantially increase demand relative to projected supplies, or create greater distances between jobs and housing. ■ Greenhouse Gas Emissions — Project will not result in a substantial contribution to local/regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during construction. Operational GHG emissions would not exceed BAAQMD thresholds. Green building measures will further reduce GHG emissions. ■ Public Services/Utilities — Project will not exceed existing infrastructure capacity or require new facilities to serve the project site. The increased use of public services & utility systems will not preclude City from meeting its service goals. ■ Transportation — Project will result in a net increase of 676 daily trips including 71 AM peak hour trips and 63 PM peak hour trips. Both study intersections (ECR/Center and ECR/Dumbarton) currently operate at LOS C and will continue to operate at LOS C with the project. No significant queuing issues were identified related to u-turns at these intersections. The project will be under parked by 35 spaces, but due to the project's close proximity to retail shopping facilities and because the project will only have one reserved space per unit, it meets the City's requirements for a parking reduction per the zoning ordinance. Si_pnificant Impacts — Construction ■Geology and Soils - Loss of topsoil due to wind and water erosion during construction. Will be mitigated by weatherizing the site. ■ Hydrology— Increased pollutant loads in storm water runoff during construction. Will be mitigated by implementing standard RWQCB BMPs. ■Air Quality— Significant dust could be generated during construction (i.e., demolition and grading). Will be mitigated by implementing standard BAAQMD BMPs. Health risk assessment determined that pollutant concentrations during construction would be below BAAQMD thresholds. ■Noise — Construction activities will temporarily increase ambient noise levels.
