City of Pleasanton—Additional Housing Sites Rezonings Project CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 Addendum Addendum 45 as well as compliance with Bay Area Air District regulations, would ensure that impacts related to odorous emissions would be less than significant. Proposed Project Analysis and Conclusion As explained in Section 2, Project Description, maximum buildout of the proposed sites is within the scope of and would result in fewer housing units than what was analyzed in the certified Housing Element Update FEIR. Furthermore, the proposed sites are expected to be developed under separate projects over the longer-term future and may be subject to future project-level CEQA analysis. In addition, they would also be required to demonstrate compliance with the General Plan, including Policy 8, which aims to minimize unpleasant odors in residential neighborhoods. Odor impacts could occur if the proposed sites introduce a new odor source near existing receptors. The Bay Area Air District provides a list of recommended odor screening distances for specific odor-generating facilities. According to the Bay Area Air District, residential uses are not odor- generating facilities. Potential sources that may emit odors during construction activities include exhaust from diesel construction equipment. However, because of the temporary nature of these emissions, the intermittent nature of construction activities, and the highly diffusive properties of diesel PM exhaust, nearby receptors would not be affected by diesel exhaust odors associated with project construction. Odors from these sources would be localized and generally confined to the immediate area surrounding the project site. The proposed sites would utilize typical construction techniques, and the odors would be typical of most construction sites and temporary in nature. Thus, the proposed sites would not introduce a new odor source near existing receptors during construction. The proposed sites would involve the development of residential, commercial, and mixed-use uses; operations could lead to odors from associated vehicle exhaust and waste disposal. However, such odors generated by operation would be small in quantity and duration and would not pose an objectionable odor impact to future and existing receptors. Thus, the proposed sites would not introduce a new odor source near existing receptors during construction or operation, and impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not previously identified and disclosed in the Prior FEIR. No further analysis is required.
