Resolution No. PC-2020-03 Page Three Program 2.6: Require design features in new development and redeveloped areas to encourage transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access, such as connections between activity centers and residential areas, and road design that accommodates transit vehicles, where feasible. Air Quality Element— Land Use Policy 2: Support development plans that reduce mobile-source emissions by reducing vehicle trips and vehicle-miles traveled (VMT). Policy 3: Separate air pollution sensitive land uses from sources of air pollution. Air Quality Element— Development Policy 5: Review proposed projects for their potential to impact air quality conditions. Program 5.1: Include air quality as a factor in the City's environmental review process. Encourage development plans which minimize negative impacts on air quality. CAP Strategies • Encourage and facilitate more walking and cycling trips. • Create the building site context that allows people to walk, bike or take transit rather than drive. • Decrease travel time and VMT, less idling leads to fuel savings and less consumption and GHG Emissions. The overarching goals of the above legislation and the City's policy documents are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging infill development that would increase walking and bicycle riding, minimize VMT and reduce fuel consumption. Drive-throughs, by definition, are designed and oriented to automobile users, requiring inclusion of a dedicated drive-through queueing lane and site plan that can accommodate a stream of vehicles circulating into and through the drive-through. While drive-throughs can be designed to operate safely, they nonetheless favor automobile circulation over pedestrian access, and require more of a site to be dedicated to that need, versus pedestrian-oriented features and amenities. The General Plan and CAP identify vehicle fuel combustion as the City's largest single source of air pollution which is exacerbated by trip frequency and length/duration, as well as idling vehicles. Based on this, the Planning Commission believes the drive-through component of the proposed restaurant fails to meet the stated goals of the General Plan and CAP as the drive-through component would potentially increase vehicular trips and VMT, as well as increase both the number and the proportion of customers driving to the and programs of the General Plan and the goals and strategies of the CAP, the City is also required to evaluate a proposal's potential impacts on Air Quality and GHG Emissions. These goals, policies, programs and strategies include: Land Use Element- Sustainability Program 2.1: Reduce the need for vehicular traffic by locating employment, residential, and service activities close together, and plan development so it is easily accessible by transit, bicycle, and on foot. f the relative loudness of sounds in air as perceived by the human ear. 3 The day-night average sound level is the average noise level over a 24-hour period.
