Chapter 2 CEQA Findings Impact Statement Impact 4.2-6 Operation of the proposed project would exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District standards for VOC, NOx, CO, and PM1o and would result in a projected air quality violation. Evidence/Rationale Supporting Findings The Agency believes that the future operation of the proposed project would generate emissions that exceed the thresholds of significance recommended by the SCAQMD for CO, NOx, ROG, and PM1o. Implementation of MM4.2-21through MM4.21-36 will reduce pollutant emissions but not below a level of significance. Said mitigation measures refer to stationary sources of pollution (through building energy efficiency). However, the substantial source of operational pollutants is emitted by mobile sources such as cars, truck, and delivery vehicles. Discussion is provided on pages 4.2-33 to Mitigation Measures included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Santa Ana. MM4.2-19 The developer shall require by contract specifications that materials that do not require painting be used during construction to the extent feasible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Santa Ana. MM4.2-20 The developer shall require by contract specifications that pre-painted construction materials be used to the extent feasible. Contract specifications shall be included in the proposed project construction documents, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Santa Ana. MM4.2-21 As individual components of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84) are implemented, an air quality impact analyses will be completed to determine their independent significance levels. Mitigation is to be incorporated at the individual component level to bring the individual components to less than significant on a site- by-site basis. MM4.2-22 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that the design of the proposed buildings or structures exceeds current Title 24 requirements (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations; The Energy Commission adopted the 2008 Standards on Findings Finding 1 The Agency finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the final EIR. Specifically, MM4.2- 21through MM4.21-36 will reduce pollutant emissions, but not below a level of significance. Finding 3 The Agency finds that specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible additional mitigation. Specifically, no additional feasible mitigation measures exist that would avoid or substantially reduce this impact. The majority of the operational impact results from mobile sources such as cars, trucks, and Level of Significance after Mitigation Significant and unavoidable 2-10 Revised Station District Project and FOL Settlement Agreement Findings of Fact/Statement of Overriding Considerations
