City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 48 Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that future development facilitated by the Housing Element Update would result in short-term construction-related criteria pollutant emissions that have the potential to have an adverse effect on air quality. As the SFBAAB is currently designated as a nonattainment area for PM, and considering that the BAAQMD’s recommended significance threshold for construction fugitive dust is binary— meaning if a project includes dust control BMPs then construction fugitive dust emissions would be less than significant, but if a project does not explicitly include dust control BMPs then construction fugitive dust emissions would be potentially significant—MM AIR-1a would be required to ensure that individual development projects facilitated by the Housing Element Update would result in less than significant construction fugitive dust impacts. As previously discussed in Impact III(a), by complying with the AQP and implementation of MM AIR-1a and MM AIR-1b, operational related criteria pollutant emissions would not have an adverse effect on air quality. Therefore, the Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that, with the implementation of MM AIR-1a and MM AIR-1b, a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard would not occur, and impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The AQTR analyzed the project construction and operational emissions and compared them with BAAQMD criteria emission threshold. Modeling results showed that the construction and operational emissions would not exceed the BAAQMD criteria pollutant annual or daily emission threshold. Therefore, the analysis concluded that the proposed project would not have a cumulatively considerable impact in terms of criteria pollutant emissions. This impact would be less than significant. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR. c) Sensitive Receptors Exposure to Toxic Air Contaminant Concentrations Would the project: Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
