Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br />residual from these values includes additional square footage that may be <br />constructed without exceeding the growth assumed in the CAP. Further, the <br />project would be developed on an infill site, in close proximity to existing <br />transportation infrastructure, and would incorporate bicycle racks for <br />employees and customers. A Wheels bus stop is located approximately <br />1,600 feet from the project site on the west side of Johnson Drive. These <br />features of the project would also be consistent with the CAP and would <br />reduce the criteria pollutants generated by the project. <br />Carbon monoxide impacts are measured by a project's consistency with a <br />local congestion management plan and a project's effects on traffic <br />volumes. As discussed in Section 5.16, the project would not generate a <br />substantial amount of traffic that would conflict with the City's level of <br />service criteria or congestion management plan. In addition, the project is <br />not located near tunnels, underpasses, canyons, or below -grade roadways <br />where carbon monoxide would concentrate. The project would also not be <br />expected to generate a substantial number of new vehicle trips that would <br />generate a considerable net increase of criteria air pollutants or violate an <br />air quality standard. <br />Demolition of a portion of the existing parking lot at 6111 Johnson Court and <br />construction of the proposed project are expected to generate short -term <br />impacts related to construction activities (e.g., clearing /grubbing, site <br />grading, etc.). Construction activity on the site would be required to <br />incorporate dust control measures (e.g., periodic watering of the site, cover <br />all trucks hauling soil, sand, and other loose material, etc.) to control <br />airborne particulates. All construction equipment is required to meet current <br />exhaust standards for emissions. These requirements will be made conditions <br />of project approval. <br />Overall, the proposed project would result in small, incremental, and <br />insignificant increases in emissions. Therefore, these would be less -than- <br />significant impacts. <br />d. No sensitive receptors are located in close proximity to the project site and <br />the proposed project is a restaurant that is not considered a sensitive <br />receptor by the BAAQMD. Project impacts related to increased health risk <br />can occur either by introducing a new sensitive receptor, such as residences <br />or a hospital, in proximity to an existing source of toxic air contaminants <br />(TACs) or by introducing a new source of TACs with the potential to <br />adversely affect existing sensitive receptors in the project vicinity. The <br />BAAQMD recommends using a 1,000 -foot screening radius around a project <br />site for purposes of identifying community health risk for siting a new sensitive <br />20 <br />
