Impaet 3.13-1 <br /> Impa�t: The proposed praject would generate greenhouse gas�issions during <br /> co�.structi.on and post-oonstrnctian, either directly or indirectly,that may have a <br /> significant impact on the env-ironm�nt,bas�an the BAAQMU CEQA Air <br /> QualitY Gnidelxnes(Decembar 20�9)and the CARB P��uninary Draft�taff <br /> Propcasal for setting significanae threshalds for�ouse gas (October 24, <br /> 2U08), <br /> Mitigation: Nllt�gation Mea:ure�HG-1: Cons�uc�ion workers living Qutside San Matea <br /> County shall meet at staging areas and be hansported(in carpools)to jobsites. <br /> The intent of this measure is to reduvc the number of daily ve�icle t�ips required <br /> to bring construction worke�rs to and fimn tt,se job site,and to reduce the <br /> construclion parking dernand at the job site. <br /> Mitigation Measurc GHG-2: U�mecessary oonst�uct�on vehicle and equipment <br /> idling shall be minimized. Con�tructinn foreyn�n sha11 include briefing to crews <br /> on vehicle use a�part of pro-canstruction canferences.��e briefi�gs shall <br /> include discussion of`°cammon sensE"vehicie use. <br /> N�itfgatian Mea�ure GHG-3: Al1 off-road constsuction diesel engines sha11 meet <br /> Tier 2 Califarnia Emissinn Standards for�ff-Road Campressian-Igtaation <br /> Eu�ines. <br /> Mitzgation 1VIea$ure GIiG4: The residenoes shall be designed and built in such <br /> a w�ay as to conserve nat�ral resaurces,use energy and water efficieintly, and <br /> improve indoor�nvironmental quality. Green building materials and other <br /> en�rironmentally friendly alternatives to oanveniional building techniques sha11 be <br /> implemea�ted wb.eTE feasible. Each residence sha11 exaeed by 15 percent the <br /> State's energy efficiency standards in pla�e at the time of btyilding permit <br /> application. <br /> Finding: Imp�eme.n,tation ofMitigation Measures GHG-1 through GHG-3 would reduce <br /> gresnhouse gas emissians from cansiruction to a less-than-significsnt level <br /> according to CAKB's Preliminary Draft S#af€Proposal. <br /> Implern�entation af Mitigation Meas�t"iHG�would x�dnce post-coz�stcuction <br /> ernissions vf gre�nhouse gas emissivns to a less-tlian-sig�fi�t level,according <br /> to CARB's Prelirninary Draf�StaffProposal. <br /> Fact�fn Support of F�nd'rng:The draft CARB Prelimir�ary Draft�taff Proposal presumes that <br /> thet�e would be a less t1�an signi�icant impact related to cli�zate c�►ange if interim <br /> CARB peTformance standa�s aa�e implemented for const�uction-�nd <br /> transpartatian-related activfties. Mitigation Measures GHG-1,GHG-Z,and GHG- <br /> 3 ar�similar to interim CARB performance standards. <br /> CARB has propo�e�that residential projects that meet p�ormance standards(or <br /> the equivalent) for energy use,water use,waste, and transportation and have <br /> �nissions below a certain threshold would be c�nsider��have insign�ificant <br /> 51 <br />
