City of Pleasanton—Vineyard Avenue Residential Project <br />15183 Consistency Checklist Consistency Checklist <br /> <br />37 <br /> <br />a, b) Consistency with Air Quality Management Plan and Cumulative Criteria Pollutant <br />Emissions Impacts <br />Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air <br />quality plan? or <br /> b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any <br />criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment <br />under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality <br />standard? <br />Summary of Housing Element Update FEIR <br />Support Primary Goals of the Air Quality Plan <br />The Housing Element Update FEIR indicated that the current Air Quality Plan <br />(AQP) applicable to the Housing Element Update is the 2017 Clean Air Plan. <br />According to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) <br />guidance, a proposed land use plan is consistent with the AQP if it would (1) <br />support the primary goals of the AQP, (2) include applicable control <br />measures from the AQP, (3) not disrupt or hinder implementation of any AQP <br />control measures, and (4) the plan’s projected VMT increase must be less <br />than or equal to its projected population growth. <br />With regards to the primary goals of the AQP, it was determined that <br />because of the BAAQMD’s recommended significance thresholds and that <br />the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB) is currently in nonattainment <br />for particulate matter (PM) standards, individual development projects <br />facilitated by the Housing Element Update would be considered to have <br />potentially significant site-specific or project-specific impacts related to the <br />generation of fugitive dust during construction activities if they do not <br />implement Best Management Practice (BMP) targeting dust control and <br />sediment migration. Therefore, Mitigation Measure (MM) AIR-1a, which would <br />require individual development projects to employ dust control measures <br />recommended by the BAAQMD during construction, which would ensure <br />that all future development projects facilitated by the Housing Element <br />Update would not result in potentially significant impacts related to <br />construction fugitive dust and contribute to the region’s current <br />nonattainment status for PM. Furthermore, for project sites that would be <br />located within siting distances recommended by the BAAQMD and ARB, <br />currently published in the ARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A <br />Community Health Perspective, or the latest available guidance as <br />determined by the City as the lead agency, MM AIR-1b would be required. <br />For these project sites, MM AIR-1b requires that a site-specific Health Risk
