EXHIBIT A 9.3.4 Objectionable Odors Threshold: Would the Project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-5; Initial Study, p. 22.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. The Project must comply with SCAQMD Rule 402, which seeks to prevent odor nuisances (Initial Study, p. 22.) Moreover, odors resulting from the temporary construction of the Project are not likely to affect a substantial number of people due to the fact that construction activities do not usually emit offensive odors. Additionally, the Project would only involve residential uses, which are not land uses that are typically associated with the generation of objectionable odors such as large commercial or industrial uses. (Initial Study, p. 22.) 9.4 Biological Resources 9.4.1 Candidate, Non -listed Sensitive, or Special -Status Animal and Plant Species Threshold: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.3-4.) Facts in Support of Finding: As described in DEIR Section 4.3, Biological Resources, the Project site and adjacent Santiago Park areas consist of developed or ornamentally landscaped areas that do not contain native habitat, special -status habitat, or special -status plants and none are expected to occur due to a lack of suitable habitat. As described by the DEIR, the site could be used by one special -status wildlife species, the western mastiff bat, that has a low potential to roost in the large trees and palms. However, its typical habitat involves conifer and deciduous woodlands, coastal scrub, grasslands, and chaparral, which do not occur on the Project site, within Santiago Park, or in the adjacent areas. Therefore, potential impacts to the western mastiff bat from implementation of the Project would be less than significant. No other candidate, sensitive, or special status species have the potential to occur on or adjacent to the Project site. Therefore, impacts from implementation of the proposed Project would be less than significant. (DEIR, p. 4.3-4.) 9.4.2 Riparian Habitat Threshold: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Finding: No Impact. (DEIR, pp. 4.3-4 through 4.3-5.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project site and adjacent areas do not contain native habitat or special - status habitat, including riparian habitat, wetlands, or other sensitive natural community. Therefore, the Project would not result in impacts related to these types of biological resources. (DEIR, pp. 4.3-4 through 4.3-5.)
