• • Require commute based trip reduction programs for all businesses of more than 20 on-site employees that may include transit subsidies,parking cash out incentives, and carpool parking preferences; • Provide preferred parking spaces and recharging stations for electric vehicles; • Require businesses to provide bicycle facility amenities such as showers and lockers; • Require electrical hook-ups for diesel trucks at loading docks; • Require any new backup diesel generators to meet CARB's Tier 4 emission standards; • Prohibit all vehicles including commercial motor vehicles with gross vehicular weight ratings of less than 10,000 pounds from idling for more than 2 minutes; and • Require truck fleets based in the area of the proposed EDZ to meet CARB's highest engine tier available at the time the building permits are issued. Site(s) affected: All sites within the proposed Zone. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.B-2 would not reduce the impact to less than significant as anticipated buildout within the area of the proposed Zone would result in emissions of NOx and PM10 that would remain above the BAAQMD significance thresholds, even with implementation of mitigation. (Draft SEIR,pp. 4.B-18 to 4.B-21.) Impact 4.B-3 Operation of uses within the area of the proposed Zone would conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. The SEIR evaluates the impacts on air quality that would result from construction and operation activities that would take place within the area of the proposed Zone. The assessment includes the potential for the proposed Zone to violate an air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation, to result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the region is in non-attainment, or to expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, including odors. Air quality effects related to the proposed Zone are evaluated against State and federal ambient air quality standards, as well as the standards established by the BAAQMD. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Significant and Unavoidable Finding: Changes have been incorporated into the proposed Zone that would substantially lessen this impact, however, the changes would not reduce this impact 39
