EXHIBIT A Resolution No. _____ Page 26 of 76 Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR significance thresholds. Thus, the construction and operation of the Project would not result in a violation of an air quality standard or substantially contribute to an existing or projected air quality violation. (DEIR, p. 4.2-15 through 4.2-16.) Consistent with the Original Project, the Modified Project would generate air quality emissions from construction and operation of the proposed multi-family residential units. However, the same construction mitigation would reduce impacts to a less than significant level and the Modified Project would constitute growth that is consistent with the AQMP. In addition, because the Modified Project is 48 percent smaller than the Original Project, it would result in fewer stationary source and vehicular related emissions. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 that would trigger the need to prepare a recirculated EIR or other environmental document exist. The Modified Project would not result in either a new significant environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact. (Final EIR, Clarifications to the Final EIR, Section 3.2.) 9.3.3 Cumulative Increase of Criteria Pollutant Threshold: Would the Project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.2-16 through 4.2-17.) Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (DEIR, p. 4.2-16 through 4.2-17.) SCAQMD’s cumulative air quality methodology provides that if an individual project results in air emissions of criteria pollutants that exceed the SCAQMD’s daily thresholds for project-specific impacts, then the project would also result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutant(s) for which the project region is in non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. As shown in the DEIR, implementation of the Project would not exceed SCAQMD’s applicable thresholds. Therefore, impacts related to a cumulatively considerable net increase of a criteria pollutant for which the project region is in non-attainment would be less than significant. (DEIR, p. 4.2-16 through 4.2-17.) Consistent with the Original Project, the Modified Project would generate air quality emissions from construction and operation of the proposed multi-family residential units.

The Modified Project would not result in either a new significant environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact.
