1. Potential odors from the transfer station could adversely affect areas to be rezoned residential within the one-mile buffer distance (Sites 6, 8, 11, and 14). 2. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.B-5 set forth in Table 6-1 of the Final SEIR and listed in the MMRP will ensure that Impact 4.B-5 would be reduced to a less than significant level and is hereby incorporated by reference and described below: 4.B-5: If odor complaints associated with the solid waste transfer station operations are received from future residences of the potential sites for rezoning (Sites 6, 8, 11, and 14), the City shall work with the transfer station owner(s) and operator(s) to ensure that odors are minimized appropriately. Site(s) affected: Sites 6, 8, 11, 14 (Draft SEIR, pp. 4.B-24 to 4.B-25.) 3. Biological Resources Impact 4.0-1 Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezonings could potentially have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the CDFG, or the USFWS. The SEIR evaluates the impact of the proposed project on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The removal of any trees or other vegetation associated with development under the Housing Element could result in direct losses of nesting habitat, nests, eggs, nestlings, or roosting special-status bats and demolition of unused or underutilized buildings could also impact bats through loss of habitat or by direct mortality. Potentially suitable grassland habitat for Western burrowing owl is also located on a several of the potential sites for rezoning. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Less than Significant Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the Project that would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the SEIR. Mitigation Measure 4.0-1, which has been required in or incorporated into the Project, will reduce the significant environmental impact to a less than significant level. Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate that the impact will be reduced to less than significant.
