EXHIBIT A <br />Resolution No. _____ Page 36 of 76 <br />Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR <br />vehicular related GHG emissions. Based on the foregoing, none of the conditions identified in CEQA <br />Guidelines Section 15088.5 that would trigger the need to prepare a recirculated EIR or other <br />environmental document exist. The Modified Project would not result in either a new significant <br />environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact. (Final <br />EIR, Clarifications to the Final EIR, Section 3.5.) <br /> <br />9.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br /> <br />9.8.1 Hazardous Materials Sites <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through <br />the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? <br /> <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 36.) <br /> <br />Facts in Support of Finding: Operation of the Project includes activities related to the multi-family <br />residential uses of the Project, which involve use of hazardous materials including solvents, cleaning <br />agents, paints, pesticides, batteries, fertilizers, and aerosol cans. These types of materials are not acutely <br />hazardous and would only be used and stored in limited quantities within the Project area. The normal <br />routine use of these hazardous materials products pursuant to existing regulations set by the U.S. <br />Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and <br />Health Administration (OSHA) that include Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act <br />(RCRA) (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 261.4) would not result in a significant hazard <br />to people or the environment in the vicinity of the Project. Therefore, the Project would not result in a <br />significant hazard to the public or to the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of <br />hazardous waste, and impacts would be less than significant. (Initial Study, p. 36.) This conclusion also <br />applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. <br /> <br />9.8.2 Hazards within One-Quarter Mile of an Existing or Proposed School <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous <br />materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? <br /> <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 36.) <br /> <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The closest existing school to the Project site is the Hoover Elementary <br />School, which is located approximately 0.5 miles away from the Project site at 408 East Santa Clara <br />Avenue. Thus, the Project site is not within one-quarter mile of a school and impacts would be less than <br />significant. (DEIR, p. 2-6; Initial Study, p. 36.) For the reasons discussed above and the reasons discussed <br />in the DEIR and Initial Study, impacts associated with this issue would be less than significant, and no <br />mitigation is required. This conclusion also applies, for the same reasons, to the Modified Project. <br /> <br />9.8.3 Site Location <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous <br />materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a <br />significant hazard to the public or the environment? <br />2-66
