• PDF-3: The Project will include installation and maintenance of air filtration systems with efficiencies equal to or exceeding a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 16 as defined by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 52.2 within all buildings. • PDF-4: Outdoor trash receptacles will be provided throughout the common areas of the site, including the dog park area, for the tenants to dispose of their refuse in a proper manner. Property maintenance will provide trash and waste material removal, including dog feces disposal bags, to maintain a trash-free property. All wastes shall be collected and properly disposed of off-site. • PDF-5: The Project will include safety design features for security, such as low-intensity security lighting, keypads for building access, security cameras, and 24-hour security personnel. Construction Activities and Schedule No changes to the proposed construction schedule are proposed. The Modified Project would be developed within the 18-month period evaluated by the EIR and involve one construction phase that includes: (1) demolition of existing building, pavement, removal of infrastructure and some landscaping; (2) grading and excavation; (3) construction of drainage, utilities, and subgrade infrastructure; (4) building construction; and (5) paving and application of architectural coatings. No units will be leased until construction of the entire Project is completed and occupancy permits have been received from the City. As described in the EIR, construction activities would be limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday and excluding Sundays and federal holidays, which would be consistent with the City’s Noise Ordinance (Municipal Code Section 18-314; Special Provisions). However, typical construction activities would occur Monday through Friday, generally 20 days a month. Initial site preparation would include demolition of the existing building and several areas of asphaltic concrete pavements. Demolition would remove all subsurface remnants, including foundations, floor slabs, and any utilities that will not be reutilized with the new development. It is anticipated that a maximum of 120 construction workers would be onsite at one time, which would occur during the building construction phase. General Plan Land Use and Zoning Amendments The Modified Project would require City approval of the same General Plan Land Use and zoning amendments that are required by the Original Project. These amendments would change the land use designation of the site from Professional & Administration Office (PAO) to District Center (DC) and an Amendment Application (zone change) from Professional (P) to Specific Development (SD) to provide site specific development standards. 3 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The evaluation of environmental impacts in this Clarification summarizes conclusions made in the EIR and compares them to the impacts of the proposed Modified Project. Mitigation measures referenced are from the EIR Mitigation Monitoring Program and would be applied to proposed Modified Project. This comparative analysis has been undertaken pursuant to the provisions of CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, to provide the factual basis for determining whether potential impacts related to the proposed Modified Project requires recirculation of the Draft EIR. As discussed in further detail in Section 1.2, Environmental Procedures, of this Clarification, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5, a recirculated EIR is not required unless the Lead Agency determines that one or more of the following conditions related to environmental impacts are met: 1) a new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented; and/or 2) a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result. 2-135
