An increase in the size of the Ice Center would not change the land <br />uses of the Ice Center Alternative and would not change the <br />emissions of air toxic contaminants by 1-580. <br />An increase in the size of the Ice Center would likely generate <br />additional stationary source emissions associated with heating and <br />cooling. The emissions would contribute to regional and global <br />increases in green house gas (GHG) emissions and associated <br />climate change effects. The resulting impact is not anticipated to <br />be substantially more significant, since the addition is limited in size <br />and would be subject to Title 24 energy efficiency standards and <br />the City's Green Building Ordinance. <br />Biological Resources <br />It is not anticipated that a 3,000 square foot increase in the size of <br />the Ice Center would create a substantially more severe biological <br />impact than shown in the EIR. According to the EIR, there are no <br />known sensitive biological or plant species on the Community Park <br />site. In addition there are no existing trees on the Community Park <br />site. The additional square footage would be subject to the same <br />biological EIR mitigation measures as those identified in the EIR <br />which reduced impacts to a less than significant impact. An <br />approximately 3,000 square foot increase in the size of the Ice <br />Center would not create a substantially more severe impact than <br />shown in the EIR. <br />Hazards and Hazardous Materials <br />If the Ice Center were increased in size by approximately 3,000 <br />square feet, the proposed development would have the potential for <br />accidental releases of hazardous materials that could contaminate <br />soil or groundwater and pose a threat to the public and <br />environment; however, compliance with federal, state and local <br />use, storage and transport regulations, as identified for the Ice <br />Center Alternative, would reduce the risk of an accident to a less - <br />than -significant impact. <br />An addition to the Ice Center would be within Caltrans' <br />recommended safety zones (Zones 4 and 6); however, as noted <br />with the Ice Center Alternative, these safety zones have not been <br />adopted by the Alameda County Land Use Commission (ALUC) <br />and are based on nationwide data for similar sized airport facilities. <br />Safety statistics more specific to the Livermore Airport were <br />evaluated and indicated that safety risks at the site would be less - <br />than -significant. With the implementation of the same hazard <br />mitigation measures as identified in the EIR, the additional square <br />El <br />
