Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning X <br /> of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources <br /> Code section 12220(g), timberland (as defined in <br /> Public Resources Code section 4526), or <br /> timberland zoned Timberland Production (as <br /> defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? <br /> d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of X <br /> forest land to non-forest use? <br /> e) Involve other changes in the existing X <br /> environment, which, due to their location or <br /> nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to <br /> non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land <br /> to non-forest use? <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a.-e. The project site is located in an urbanized area and is currently developed <br /> with structures, parking, and landscaped areas. No agricultural or forestry land <br /> is located on the site. The proposed project will not result in the conversion of <br /> any farmland and the subject property is not zoned for agricultural use and <br /> does not have a Williamson contract in place. No loss or conversion of forest <br /> land will occur as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, these would be <br /> no-impact. <br /> 5.3. AIR QUALITY <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br /> The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) monitors air quality and <br /> administers permitting authority over most stationary emission sources within the <br /> nine-county the San Francisco Bay Area. The standards for levels of ozone, carbon <br /> monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter (PM10), particulate <br /> matter - fine (PM2.5), sulfates, lead, hydrogen sulfide, and vinyl chloride have been <br /> set by both the California State Environmental Protection Agency and the United <br /> States Environmental Protection Agency. As of the writing of this document, the <br /> BAAQMD reports that the Bay Area Air Basin is under non-attainment status for <br /> levels of ozone, particulate matter (PM10), and particulate matter - fine (PM2.5) <br /> under the State standards. For Federal standards, the air basin is under non- <br /> attainment status for ozone and particulate matter - fine (PM2.5) (during the 24- <br /> hour period).2 <br /> 15 <br />
