The Project proposes to demolish three <br />existing buildings totaling 212,121-square feet in order to construct 1,150 multi -family residential units <br />and 90,000-square feet ofcomrnercial retail/restaurant space, including an 18,00o-square foot retail <br />shopping center, 5,000-square foot fast casual restaurant, 25,000-square foot qua lity restaurant, <br />25,000-square foot high turnover sit down restaurant, 5,0004square foot fast food restaurant, and <br />2,000-square foot coffee/donut shop. The Project also proposes to construct 183,3G3-square feet of <br />open space and recreation amenities and 2,355 parking spaces on the 14,58-acre site. <br />Our review concludes that the Ei fads to adequately evaluate the Project's Air Quality, Health Risk, <br />and Greenhouse Gas impacts. As a result, emissions and health risk impacts associated with construction <br />and operation of the proposed Project are underestimated and inadequately addressed. An updated FIR <br />should be prepared to adequately assess and mitigate the potential air quality and health risk impacts <br />that the project may have on the surrounding environment. <br />Air Quality <br />Unsubstantiated Input Parameters Used to Estimate Projcc;t Emissio Lis <br />The DFIR's air quality analysis relies on emissions calculated with CaIEEMod2O16.3.2.f Ca IEEMod <br />provides recommended default values based on site -specific information, such as land use type, <br />LAPfri& (Nrne i 2017) CaIFEMpu Ilsrr't guide, httn /lwww anmd envldrx�/darault- <br />source/caleenrod/01 user-39-s-nuide2016-3-2 LSnov rnaer2017.ndVsivrsni <br />28 <br />75C-170 <br />
