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