8.A. - Page 42 <br /> The City conducted extensive and detailed stuc&es regarc&ng the potenfial shadow impacts that might resultfrom the <br /> Downtown's zrpected increases in builc&ng heights (EIR Appenc&x 21.3--Supplemental Shadow Analysis <br /> Informafion). As a resul� the DTPP development regulations were developed with the specific intent to avoid <br /> significantshadow impacts(EIR p. 6-29). Pull buildout of the DTPP to the marimum build(ng envelopes allowed by <br /> the Plan's regulations would not cause any shadow-sensitive uses and spaces to be more than 50 percent in shadow <br /> at noon on the Spnng Eguinax. The impact of the DTPP was considered to be less than significan� and no <br /> mifigations were reguired The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP regulations, and as a <br /> resul� no adc&fional shadow impacts are anticipated <br /> Summary of Impacts <br /> Potentially Less than Signifcant Less than <br /> Significant With Mitigation Signifcant No <br /> Im act Incor orated Im act Im act <br /> IL AGRICULTURE RESOURCES--YVould the project: <br /> a) Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide X <br /> Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the <br /> Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources <br /> Agency,to non-agricultural use? <br /> b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act X <br /> contract? <br /> c) Involve other changes in the existing envuonment which, due to their location X <br /> or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland,to non-agricultural use? <br /> Documentation: <br /> a. The project site is located in a built-out urb� environmen� and therefore will not convert farmland to a non- <br /> agncultural use. No impact will occur as a result of the proposed project <br /> b. The project will not conjlict with any agncultural zoning use or a YVilliamson Act contract There are no such zoned <br /> land uses or YVilliamson Act contracts in the project vicinity. Therefore, no impact will occur as a result of the <br /> proposed project <br /> c. There are no current or planned agncultural activifies in the projectvicinity. Therefore, no impact will occur as a <br /> result of the proposed project <br /> Summary of Impacts <br /> Potentially Less than Signifcant Less than <br /> Significant With Mitigation Signifcant No <br /> Im act Incor orated Im act Im act <br /> IIL AIR QUALITY-- YYould the project: <br /> a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? X <br /> b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or X <br /> projected air quality violation? <br /> c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for X <br /> which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state <br /> ambient au quality standard, including releasing emissions that exceed <br /> quantitative threshold for ozone precursors? <br /> d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, including X <br /> but not limited to, substantial levels of toxic air contaminants? <br /> e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X <br /> Documentation: <br /> a. & b. The Downtown Precise Plan program EIR (pp. 12-17 �d 12-18) concluded that develapment occurring in <br /> conformance with the DTPP would be consistent with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District(BAAQMD) <br /> 7 <br />
