P24-0596, 0 Vineyard Avenue Zoning Administrator 12 of 14 B) 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; C) 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); D) 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; E) install indoor air quality monitoring in buildings; and F) 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 instructions and maintenance and replacement schedule for the HVAC system and filters, and that manual shall be distributed to owners. Project applicants shall retain a qualified air quality consultant to prepare a health risk assessment (HRA) in accordance with BAAQMD requirements to determine the exposure of project residents/occupants/users to air pollutants prior to issuance of a grading permit, or issuance of a building permit, whichever is sooner. The HRA shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and approval. For individual projects, the HRA shall be completed and identified recommendations in order to reduce exposure to TACs below BAAQMD thresholds of significance, if any, in the HRA shall be incorporated into design and construction documents as Conditions of Approval prior to issuance of grading or building permit, whichever is sooner. Outdoor Air Quality–Individual and common exterior open space, including playgrounds, patios, and decks, shall either be shielded from the source of air pollution by buildings or otherwise buffered to further reduce air pollution for project occupants. • MM GEO-6: A professional paleontologist, approved by the City of Pleasanton, shall conduct a site-specific paleontological resources survey on the potential sites for rezoning. If any of the potential sites for rezoning are found to be underlain by older Quaternary deposits, or any other soil with the potential to contain vertebrate fossils due to their high paleontological sensitivity for significant resources, applicants, owners and/or sponsors of all future development or construction projects shall be required to perform or provide paleontological monitoring, if recommended by the qualified paleontologist. Should significant paleontological resources (e.g., bones, teeth, well-preserved plant elements) be unearthed by a future project construction crew, project activities shall be diverted at least 15 feet from the discovered paleontological resources until a professional paleontologist has assessed such discovered resources to determine whether they are significant and significant resources shall be salvaged in a timely manner. The applicant/owner/sponsor of said project shall be responsible for diverting
