City of Pleasanton—Merritt Property Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br /> <br /> 53 <br />included on all grading, utility, building, landscaping, and <br />improvement plans during all phases of construction and for <br />access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction <br />sites. <br />MM AIR-1b The following measures pertain to project sites where residences <br />would be located within distances where the Bay Area Air <br />Quality Management District (BAAQMD) or the California Air <br />Resources Board (ARB) recommends not siting residential uses <br />due to exposures to toxic air contaminants (TACs). For example, <br />the current 2005 ARB Land Use Book recommends that agencies <br />avoid siting new sensitive land uses within 500 feet of a freeway, <br />urban roads with 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 <br />vehicles/day. <br />Indoor Air Quality: In accordance with the recommendations of <br />the BAAQMD, appropriate measures (refer to Section 5 of the <br />BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines) shall be incorporated into building <br />design in order to reduce the potential health risk due to <br />exposure of sensitive receptors to TACs, including, but not limited <br />to: <br />(a) Locate sensitive receptors as far as possible within each <br />project site from any freeways, major roadways or other <br />non-permitted TAC sources (e.g., loading docks, parking <br />lots). <br />(b) Incorporate tiered plantings of trees (such as redwood, <br />deodar cedar, live oak, and/or oleander) to the maximum <br />extent feasible between the sources of pollution and <br />sensitive receptors. <br />(c) Install, operate and maintain in good working order a <br />central heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) <br />system or other air take system in the building, or in each <br />residential unit, that meets or exceeds an efficiency <br />standard of Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values (MERV) 13, <br />including the following features: installation of high- <br />efficiency filter and/or carbon filter to filter particulates and <br />other chemical matter from the building (either high- <br />efficiency particulate air [HEPA] filters or ASHRAE 85 percent <br />supply filters).
