The rest of the conclusions in the DSEIR and FSEIR remain the same. The <br /> Supplemental Recirculation Memo (Attachment 2A) explains and summarizes the <br /> RDSEIR conclusions as follows: <br /> • The Health Risk Assessment found less than significant project-level and <br /> cumulative impacts due to exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic air contaminants. <br /> • The Updated Air Quality Analysis found changes to the JDEDZ project details could <br /> increase construction-related criteria pollutant emissions, but as described above, <br /> those emissions could be reduced to a less than significant level with mitigation <br /> (i.e. new Mitigation Measure M-AQ-1). <br /> • The Updated Air Quality Analysis found all three previously identified significant and <br /> unavoidable air quality impacts related to JDEDZ operations are less than <br /> significant. <br /> • The Greenhouse Gas ("GHG") Analysis found the JDEDZ would not have <br /> significant GHG-related impacts. <br /> • The Energy Resources Analysis found the JDEDZ would not have significant <br /> energy-related impacts. <br /> In summary, the RDSEIR did not change any impact conclusions in the DSEIR or <br /> FSEIR except for impacts related to construction-related criteria pollutants and <br /> significant and unavoidable impacts due to JDEDZ operations. The only significant and <br /> unavoidable impacts for the JDEDZ project that remain are the transportation and traffic <br /> impacts identified in the DSEIR and summarized previously in this report. A Revised <br /> Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (RMMRP) has been prepared and is <br /> included with the RFSEIR (http://www.cityofpleasantonca.gov/idedz). <br /> Public Comments on RDSEIR <br /> The City received nearly 300 comment letters during the RDSEIR comment period, the <br /> majority of which expressed support for (about 85 percent) or opposition to (about 14 <br /> percent) the JDEDZ. No public agencies submitted comments. <br /> CEQA Guidelines section 15088 requires the City to respond to comments that address <br /> environmental issues or the substance of the RDSEIR. And CEQA Guidelines section <br /> 15088.5(0(2) only requires the City to respond to comments concerning the recirculated <br /> portions of the Draft SEIR. Nonetheless, the City provided responses to other <br /> comments received during the comment period for informational purposes. <br /> While the responses to comments on the RDSEIR resulted in some changes to the <br /> modeling and figures used in the Updated Air Quality Analysis and the Health Risk <br /> Assessment, the only change to a RDSEIR conclusion is noted in Chapter 3 <br /> (Responses to Comments), which notes new Mitigation Measure M-AQ-2 relating to <br /> requiring low-VOC architectural coatings is actually not required to reduce the potential <br /> operational air quality impact to a less than significant level. <br /> Page 16 of 23 <br />
