Facts in Suooort of Finding: The impact will be avoided or reduced based on the following: a. The reduction in the number of residential units in the GHCBf Project results in decreased traffic demand. The developer will pay its fair share for traffic improvements to ensure that the roads in and azound the project will operate at acceptable levels. The improvements to be funded by the developer include, but are not limited to: (i) $15 million towards the I-680 interchange improvements; (ii) the Valley Avenue railroad undercrossing; (iii) 50% of the cost of [he traffic signal at Bemal Avenue at I-680; and (iv) Bernal Bridge widening (pro rata share). b. Implementation of a TSMP is required by Mitigation Measure J96 and implemented through PUD Condition _ will achieve anticipated trip generation rates, construct bus pull-out areas, and accommodate transit services on GHCBI Project streets. 'Phis program will assist in minimizing the GHCBI Project's traffic impacts. I. Air Quality 1. Generation ofConstmction-Related Emissions. Impact K 1. Constmction activities during site specific grading would generate dust and PM-1Q creating the potential for nuisance. Mitieation Measure: Measure Kl. Prepare and implement a dust control plan for the constmction period, which would control dust during all phases of constmction, to be reviewed and approved by the City Public Works Department prior to development activity on the site. Findine: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Findine: The impact will be avoided or reduced based on the foI lowing: a. Constmction air quality impacts result from dust generated by equipment and vehicles. Although short-term impacts may be considered significant, these impacts will be temporary. The dust control plan will include the following basic control measures: (1) water all active construction azeas at least twice daily or as necessary to minimize dust; (2) pave, apply water three times daily, or apply (non- toxic) soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking azeas and staging areas at constmction sites; (3) sweep daily (with water sweepers) all paved access roads, parking areas and staging areas at constmction sites or as necessary to minimize dust; 34
