Responses to <br />Environmental Checklist <br />For CEQA Compliance <br />Management Plan (AQMP) is the primary p-anning document to monitor if air quality standards and <br />objectives are being achieved in the South Coast Air Basin. The air quality objectives in the AQMP are <br />based upon population and growth projections provided in regional planning programs and local general <br />plans. A project could be in conflict with the AQMP if it results in population and growth impacts beyond <br />those identified in regional planning programs and local general plans. The proposed zoning ordinance <br />amendments would not have any effect on the growth projections in the City's General Plan. Therefore, <br />approval of the proposed ordinance would not be in conflict with the South Coast AQMP. <br />B. Violate any stationary source air quality standard or contribute to an existing or proposed <br />air quality violation? <br />C. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any <br />criteria pollutant for which the project- region is non-attainment under an applicable <br />federal or state ambient air quality standard? <br />D. Expose Sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? <br />E. Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? <br />No Impact <br />Approval of the proposed amendments to the Municipal Code to establish an ordinance for the regulation <br />of massage establishments and massage technician permits would not result in any short-term <br />construction related or long-term operational air quality impacts or odor impacts, in that approval of the <br />proposed ordinance would not involve any activities that would emit long-term or short-term air quality <br />emissions or odor pollutants. Through the land-use certificate and conditional use permit process future <br />massage establishments implemented under the proposed ordinance would be evaluated for potential <br />long-term and short-term air quality impacts and odor impacts. <br />BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES <br />A. Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any <br />species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special status species in local or regional <br />plans, policies or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and game or U.S. <br />Fish and Wildlife Services? <br />B. Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or natural community identified <br />in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish <br />and game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Service? <br />C. Adversely impact federally protected wetlands either individually or in combination with <br />the known or .probable impacts of .other activities through direct removal, filling <br />hydrological interruption, or other means? <br />D. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree <br />preservation policy or ordinance? <br />No Impact <br />According to the City's Updated General Plan Land Use Element EIR and the California Department Fish <br />and Game Natural Diversity Data Base, there is a limited amount of sensitive biological resources within <br />the City. Approval of the proposed ordinance amendments would not result in any adverse impacts to any <br />sensitive biological resources, in that the proposed ordinance would not permit massage establishments <br />in areas that contain sensitive biological resources. <br />75C-54 <br />
