Harbor Boulevard Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan Findings and Facts in Support of Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations The HRA shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator prior to approval of any future discretionary residential or residential mixed -use project. If the HRA shows that the incremental cancer risk exceeds one in one hundred thousand (1.0E -05), PM concentrations would exceed 2.5 fag /m3, or the appropriate noncancer hazard index exceeds 1.0, the HRA shall identify the level of high- efficiency Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) filter required to reduce indoor air concentrations of pollutants to achieve the cancer and /or noncancer threshold. The Applicant shall be required to install high efficiency MERV filters in the intake of residential ventilation systems, consistent with the recommendations of the HRA. Heating, air conditioning and ventilation (HVAC) systems shall be installed with a fan unit power designed to force air through the MERV filter. To ensure long -term maintenance and replacement of the MERV filters in the individual units, the following shall occur: • Developer, sale, and /or rental representative shall provide notification to all affected tenants /residents of the potential health risk for affected units. • For rental units, the owner /property manager shall maintain and replace MERV filters in accordance with the manufacture's recommendations. The property owner shall inform renters of increased risk of exposure to diesel particulates when windows are open. • For residential owned units, the Homeowner's Association (HOA) shall incorporate requirements for long -term maintenance in the Covenant Conditions and Restrictions and inform homeowners of their responsibility to maintain the MERV filter in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The HOA shall inform homeowners of increased risk of exposure to diesel particulates when windows are open. (5) Potential Impact: The Harbor Boulevard Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan is a regionally significant project that would contribute to an increase in frequency or severity of air quality violations in the South Coast Air Basin and would conflict with the assumptions of the applicable air quality management plan. Finding: 3. The City makes Finding 3 and determines that this impact is significant and unavoidable. Facts in Support of Finding Mitigation Measures 2 -1 through 2 -5 would reduce the project's regional construction - related and operational phase criteria air pollutant emissions to the extent feasible. However, given the potential increase in growth and associated 25 July 2014
