<br /> area. in addition, the proposed development would not introduce a new source
<br /> of toxic air contaminants (TACs) to the project area and its vicinity. Therefore, the
<br /> potential impact would be less than significant.
<br /> e) The project is not anticipated to create objectionable odors affecting a
<br /> substantial number of people. Therefore, this impact would be less than
<br /> significant.
<br /> 5.4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
<br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
<br /> The site has been occupied by a single-family residence since 1960. A horse stable
<br /> and riding arena were constructed on the site by the previous property owners. The
<br /> current owners use the horse stable for two goats. Sycamore Creek runs through the
<br /> project site. There are a number of mature trees on the property including native
<br /> valley oak, sycamore, and California black walnut trees; these are generally located
<br /> in the southern portion of the site and adjacent to the creek. Non-native trees
<br /> including eucalyptus, acacia and other non-native species, are also located on site,
<br /> and a variety of shrubs, grasses, and groundcover surround the existing home. All
<br /> existing trees are proposed to be retained.
<br /> STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
<br /> For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if
<br /> the proposed project would:
<br /> • Adversely affect, either directly or through habitat modification, any
<br /> endangered, threatened or rare species, as listed in Title 14 of the California
<br /> Code of Regulations (Sections 670. 5) or in Title 50, Code of Regulations
<br /> (Sections 17. 11 or 17. 12) or their habitats (including but not limited to plants,
<br /> fish, insects, animals, and birds);
<br /> • Have a substantial adverse impact, either directly or through habitat
<br /> modification, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive or special-
<br /> status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the
<br /> California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or U. S. Fish and Wildlife
<br /> Service (USFWS);
<br /> • Have a substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or other sensitive
<br /> natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or
<br /> by the CDFW or USFWS;
<br /> • Adversely affect federally protected wetlands (including but not limited to
<br /> marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) either individually or in combination with the
<br /> known or probable impacts of other activities through direct removal, filling,
<br /> hydrological interruption, or other means;

<br /> at 6055 Sunol Boulevard (ThermoFisher Scientific), which is approximately 4,000
<br /> feet from the project site. This distance is outside the 1,000-foot threshold set by
<br /> the BAAQMD for analysis of exposing sensitive receptors. Additionally, the project
<br /> site is located more than 3,000 feet from Sunol Boulevard, a thoroughfare, and

<br /> options along those lines, and how much of a contribution was realistic based on splitting the
<br /> difference of the profit a land owner would receive by having the additional two parcels.
