6.1.B. - Page 13 <br /> • Visit the project site and surraundings, to identify and photodocument existing <br /> �isual character and quality canditions, views to and from the project site, and <br /> other urban design features. <br /> + Based on scenic resources and views identified in the Redwaod City General <br /> Plan, analyze pa#ent�al adverse aest�etic effects resulting from the propased <br /> project. <br /> * Review existing General Plan goals and policies rela#ed to �isual quali#y to <br /> determine cor�f�icts with any relevant plans ar�d policies. <br /> • Using fiefd observations, analyze w�e#her the proposed project would <br /> substantiaily degrade the existing �isual character ar quality of the proj�ct area <br /> and its surroundings due to potenfial grading, height, bulk, massing, <br /> architectural style, buifdin� ma#erials, and other site alterations. <br /> * Analyze potential degradation of views from raadways, US '�01, adjacent uses, <br /> and other sensitive �iewer locations. <br /> • Analyze lighting and glare impacts crea#ed by #he proposed buildings, focusing <br /> on motaris#s on US 101. <br /> Agricultural and Forestry Resources <br /> Consulfant wi[I �escribe existing conditions at the project site, identify General <br /> Plan designatian and zoning districts, and indicate lack of agricultural and fiorestry <br /> uses at the project site. <br /> Air Quafity <br /> Consultant wil! com�iete the following tasks in compfiance with the BAAQMD <br /> CEQA Guidelines: <br /> s Summarize regional and lacal meteorologicaf condi#ions, ambient <br /> measurements from the n�arest air monitoring stafion, ar�d State and federal <br /> po�icy and regulatory framework far air quality plar�ning. <br /> • Estimate construction emissions of reactive organic gases (ROG), smafl <br /> articulate matter (PM�� and PM2.�) and oxides of nitragen (NOx, a precursor ta <br /> ozone) based on the Air Resources Board (ARB} URBEMIS model, best <br /> available data on construction equipment use, and schedule from the project <br /> de�eloper. Results will be compared to BAAQMD's quantitati�e thresholds #or <br /> sigr�ificant co�s#ruction impacts. <br /> � Estimate new motor vehicle emissions assaciated with project trips using the <br /> transportation study and URBEMlS madel. Results wil! be compared to <br /> BAAQMD`s quantitafive thresholds for significant impacts. <br /> * Utilize BAAQMD's screening methods for cons#ruction and traffic-related diese! <br /> particulate matter (DPM)1PMz.s emissions to analyze potential F�ealth risks for <br /> the proposed project. <br /> Health Risk Assessmen#. In addition tn the abave, Consultant will evaluate the <br /> potential for ad�erse health effects associated with toxic air contaminant (TAC) <br /> exposures to sensitive receptors in the �icinity of tf�e project site. Based on a <br /> preliminary e�aluation of the TAC sources expected to contribute to local <br /> exposures it is expected fhat diesel �articulate matter (DPM) at�d PM2.5 are <br /> ATTY/AGR/2012.i54124 HQUR CONTRACTlATKINS NaRTH AMERICA <br /> REV:p9-19-12 JS <br /> Page 11 of 26 <br />
