1 Project Description and Approach • Aesthetics/Light and Glare. The impacts of the rezoning on aesthetic. visual, and scenic resources will be evaluated, including potential loss of views and effects of increased lighting on motorists and residents in the City (and. potentially, residents of Dublin. immediately across Interstate 580). Policies and programs provided in the General Plan and standard City requirements will be evaluated as to their effect of mitigating or avoiding any potentially significant effects. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and /or GPA EIR will be revised for their potential to reduce impacts at the project site. Additional mitigation measures for aesthetic. visual and scenic resources will be identified where necessary to reduce any significant effects. Visual Massing Simulations ESA will team with Environmental Vision to provide visual massing simulations for the proposed project in support of the Aesthetics analysis. The simulations would be completed from three public viewpoints and reflect before and after images of the project site. Air Qualny. The air quality analysis will focus on air quality effects primarily from increased traffic, including any identified health risk effects. and will also address cumulative effects relative to other reasonably anticipated development, as well as project consistency with the regional air quality plan. The analysis will discuss the regional and local air quality setting. ambient air monitoring data. and current air quality management efforts. The analysis will identify the nearest sensitive air pollutant receptors to the rezone area — residences across Stoneridge Drive, to the south. and across 1-680. to the west —and any major existing sources of air pollutants, including those in the inventory data compiled by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). The BAAQMD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines significance criteria with regard to air quality impacts will be relied upon.' The EIR analysis will discuss emissions likely to be generated during construction of subsequent development projects under the zoning amendment, evaluate the potential for construction dust to cause any local exceedances of ambient particulate standards. and estimate future criteria air pollutant emissions from vehicular traffic and onsite stationary sources. The SEIR analysis will identify. as feasible. what types and size of development would likely be of concern. Further, ESA will address diesel particulate matter (DPM), a toxic air contaminant (TAC). emitted from high- volume roadways and stationary sources. as well as construction equipment. that can cause health risk impacts. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and /or GPA EIR will be revised for their potential to reduce impacts at the project site. Additional mitigation measures for aesthetic. visual and scenic resources will be identified where necessary to reduce any significant effects. • Noise.. Project- related noise impacts could arise from the relatively high. but temporary. noise levels from project construction activities and from the long -term increases in traffic volumes. ESA will identify the noise - sensitive land uses or activities in the vicinity of the project site such as residences across Stoneridge Drive. to the south. and roads that would receive motor vehicle traffic generated by project development and assess the difference in noise levels resulting from the change in traffic due to the proposed land use change. Specific tasks will include documenting existing noise levels at the project site by collecting long -term and short-term noise measurements at the project site and calculate Ldn or CNEL average noise levels for the site. based on the noise measurements for comparison to Land Use Compatibility standards.
