The potentially significant impacts, and the mitigation measures that will reduce them to a less than significant level, are as follows: 1.6.1 - Air Quality Impact AIR-1: Development consistent with the Housing Element Update, rezonings, and General Plan and Specific Plan Amendments could conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.2-38). Findings: Less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated. (Draft Program EIR, Page 3.2-52). Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the Program EIR. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15091(a)(1)) Mitigation Measures MM AIR-1a: Prior to the issuance of a grading or building permit, whichever is sooner, the project applicant for a potential site for rezoning shall submit an air quality construction plan detailing the proposed air quality construction measures related to the project such as construction phasing, construction equipment, and dust control measures, and such plan shall be approved by the Director of Community Development or designee. Air quality construction measures shall include (1) Basic Construction Mitigation Measures, as approved by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) in 2017, or the then currently adopted guidelines, and, (2) where construction-related emissions would exceed the applicable thresholds as demonstrated by a qualified consultant conducted pursuant to methodologies considered acceptable at that time, Additional Construction Mitigation Measures, as recommended by the BAAQMD, shall be implemented to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. The air quality construction plan shall be included on all grading, utility, building, landscaping, and improvement plans during all phases of construction and for access roads, parking areas, and staging areas at construction sites. MM AIR-1b: The following measures pertain to project sites where residences would be located within distances where the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) or the California Air Resources Board (ARB) recommends not siting residential uses due to exposures to Toxic Air Contaminants. For example, the current 2005 ARB Land Use Book recommends that agencies avoid siting new sensitive land uses within 500 feet
