City of Pleasanton 475 and 493 St. John Street Mixed-Use Project 24 shown in Table 3 and Table 4), the project would not result in exceedances of BAAQMD thresholds for criteria air pollutants with mitigation incorporated and thus would not conflict with the 2017 CAP’s goal to attain air quality standards. Furthermore, as shown in Table 5, the proposed project would include applicable control measures from the 2017 CAP and would not disrupt or hinder implementation of such control measures. Therefore, project impacts related to consistency with the 2017 CAP would be less than significant. Table 5 Project Consistency with Applicable Control Measures of 2017 CAP Control Measure Evaluation TR9: Bicycle and Pedestrian Access and Facilities. Encourage planning for bicycle and pedestrian facilities in local plans, e.g., general and specific plans, fund bike lanes, routes, paths and bicycle parking facilities. Consistent. The project would include bicycle parking spaces consistent with the latest Title 24 CALGreen Standards. EN2: Decrease Electricity Demand. Work with local governments to adopt additional energy-efficiency policies and programs. Support local government energy efficiency program via best practices, model ordinances, and technical support. Work with partners to develop messaging to decrease electricity demand during peak times. Consistent. The proposed project would be required to comply with the energy efficiency standards of the latest Title 24 (including the California Energy Code and CALGreen). The Title 24 standards are updated every three years and become increasingly more stringent over time. In addition, a photovoltaic (PV) solar array on the roof of all residences would be installed pursuant to the California Energy Code. BL1: Green Buildings. Collaborate with partners such as KyotoUSA to identify energy-related improvements and opportunities for on-site renewable energy systems in school districts; investigate funding strategies to implement upgrades. Identify barriers to effective local implementation of the CALGreen (Title 24) statewide building energy code; develop solutions to improve implementation/enforcement. Work with ABAG’s BayREN program to make additional funding available for energy-related projects in the buildings sector. Engage with additional partners to target reducing emissions from specific types of buildings. Consistent. The proposed project would include a PV system consistent with the latest Title 24 Standards. The proposed residences would be all-electric and would have no natural gas or propane plumbing installed. The CALGreen standards are updated every three years and become increasingly more stringent over time. WR2: Support Water Conservation. Develop a list of best practices that reduce water consumption and increase on-site water recycling in new and existing buildings; incorporate into local planning guidance. Consistent. The proposed project would be required to comply with water conservation standards of CALGreen that are in effect at that time. The project would incorporate water-efficiency measures, including efficient water fixtures and climate adapted plantings. Source: BAAQMD 2017 Effects and Mitigation Measures No new or substantially more severe significant effects would occur to air quality, and no new mitigation measures are necessary. The DSP policies, applicable City COAs, and Mitigation Measures which were required for the original project, would remain applicable. Conclusion The DSP found air quality impacts to be significant and unavoidable. However, the Barone project impacts would be less than significant, and no significant new or substantially increased air quality impacts would occur compared to the original project.
