ITEM 23 ATTACHMENT 1 - CEQA Checklist

City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 50 and hazards to be considered to result in less than significant impacts related to exposing sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The General Plan (which includes the Housing Element Update) contains several policies and programs that aim to reduce the potential growth of vehicle use through encouraging the use of alternative modes of transportation, monitoring and improving existing sources of TACs throughout the City and reducing overall health impacts related to air quality in general. Furthermore, for project sites that would be located within siting distances recommended by the BAAQMD and ARB, currently published in the ARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective, or the latest available guidance as determined by the City as the Lead Agency, MM AIR-1b requires the preparation of a site-specific HRA and to mitigate potential risk to potential new sensitive receptors to less than significant levels. Adherence to the policies and programs of the General Plan would ensure compliance with existing BAAQMD policies to ensure the reduction of sensitive receptors exposure to toxic air contaminant. The Housing Element Update FEIR concluded that with the implementation of MM AIR-1b, sensitive receptors would not be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations, and impacts would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion The AQTR performed construction HRAs and analyzed the cumulative health risk impacts at the maximumly impacted receptor. The modeling results showed that the construction maximum health risk impacts and the cumulative health risks would not exceed the BAAQMD threshold. Additionally, the proposed project meets the screening criteria for carbon monoxide (CO), and the impact of localized CO concentrations would be less than significant. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations and the impacts 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. d) Objectionable Odors Exposure Would the project: Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors or) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
