EXHIBIT A <br />Resolution No. _____ Page 23 of 71 <br />Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR <br /> <br />9.3.4 Objectionable Odors <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of <br />people? <br /> <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-5; Initial Study, p. 22.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial <br />number of people. The Project must comply with SCAQMD Rule 402, which seeks to prevent odor <br />nuisances (Initial Study, p. 22.) Moreover, odors resulting from the temporary construction of the Project <br />are not likely to affect a substantial number of people due to the fact that construction activities do not <br />usually emit offensive odors. Additionally, the Project would only involve residential uses, which are not <br />land uses that are typically associated with the generation of objectionable odors such as large commercial <br />or industrial uses. (Initial Study, p. 22.) <br /> <br />9.4 Biological Resources <br /> <br />9.4.1 Candidate, Non-listed Sensitive, or Special-Status Animal and Plant Species <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat <br />modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or <br />regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish <br />and Wildlife Service? <br /> <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.3-4.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: As described in DEIR Section 4.3, Biological Resources, the Project site <br />and adjacent Santiago Park areas consist of developed or ornamentally landscaped areas that do not <br />contain native habitat, special-status habitat, or special-status plants and none are expected to occur due <br />to a lack of suitable habitat. As described by the DEIR, the site could be used by one special-status wildlife <br />species, the western mastiff bat, that has a low potential to roost in the large trees and palms. However, its <br />typical habitat involves conifer and deciduous woodlands, coastal scrub, grasslands, and chaparral, which <br />do not occur on the Project site, within Santiago Park, or in the adjacent areas. Therefore, potential impacts <br />to the western mastiff bat from implementation of the Project would be less than significant. No other <br />candidate, sensitive, or special status species have the potential to occur on or adjacent to the Project site. <br />Therefore, impacts from implementation of the proposed Project would be less than significant. (DEIR, <br />p. 4.3-4.) <br /> <br />9.4.2 Riparian Habitat <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other <br />sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the <br />California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? <br /> <br />Finding: No Impact. (DEIR, pp. 4.3-4 through 4.3-5.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project site and adjacent areas do not contain native habitat or special- <br />status habitat, including riparian habitat, wetlands, or other sensitive natural community. Therefore, the <br />Project would not result in impacts related to these types of biological resources. (DEIR, pp. 4.3-4 through <br />4.3-5.) <br />2-59
