Tract 8724, 0 Vineyard Avenue Planning Commission Page 8 of 11 measures, and such plan shall be approved by the Director of Community Development or designee. Air quality construction measures shall include (1) Basic Construction Mitigation Measures, as approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) in 2017, or the then currently adopted guidelines, and, (2) where construction-related emissions would exceed the applicable thresholds as demonstrated by a qualified consultant conducted pursuant to methodologies considered acceptable at that time, Additional Construction Mitigation Measures, as recommended by the BAAQMD, shall be implemented to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. The air quality construction plan shall be included on all grading, utility, building, landscaping, and improvement plans during all phases of construction and for access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites. • MM AIR-1b: The following measures pertain to project sites where residences would be located within distances where the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) or the California Air Resources Board (ARB) recommends not siting residential uses due to exposures to Toxic Air Contaminants. For example, the current 2005 ARB Land Use Book recommends that agencies avoid siting new sensitive land uses within 500 feet of a freeway, urban roads within 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day. Indoor Air Quality–In accordance with the recommendations of the BAAQMD, appropriate measures (refer to Section 5 of the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines) shall be incorporated into building design in order to reduce the potential health risk due to exposure of sensitive receptors to TACs, including, but not limited to: o locate sensitive receptors as far as possible within each project site from any freeways, major roadways or other non-permitted TAC sources (e.g., loading docks, parking lots); o incorporate tiered plantings of trees (such as redwood, deodar cedar, live oak, and/or oleander) to the maximum extent feasible between the sources of pollution and sensitive receptors; o install, operate and maintain in good working order a central heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system or other air take system in the building, or in each residential unit, that meets or exceeds an efficiency standard of MERV 13, including the following features: installation of high efficiency filter and /or carbon filter to filter particulates and other chemical matter from the building (either HEPA filters or ASHRAE 85 percent supply filters); o retain a qualified HVAC consultant or Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rater during the design phase of the project to locate air ventilation and the HVAC system intakes based on exposure modeling from pollutant sources; o install indoor air quality monitoring in buildings; and o applicants shall ensure that HVAC systems and air ventilation systems are maintained, repaired, or replaced on an ongoing and as -needed basis. If the project includes for-sale units, then the applicant shall prepare two operation and maintenance manuals for the HVAC systems and the filters: one manual shall be included in the recorded Conditions Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that shall be recorded, and the manual shall be distributed to building maintenance staff; the other manual shall be written for homeowners with operating
