If the <br />project includes for-sale units, then the applicant shall prepare two operation <br />and maintenance manuals for the HVAC systems and the filters: one manual <br />shall be included in the recorded Conditions Covenants and Restrictions (CC&Rs) <br />that shall be recorded, and the manual shall be distributed to building <br />maintenance staff; the other manual shall be written for homeowners with <br />operating instructions and maintenance and replacement schedule for the HVAC <br />system and filters, and that manual shall be distributed to owners. <br /> <br />Project applicants shall retain a qualified air quality consultant to prepare a health <br />risk assessment (HRA) in accordance with BAAQMD requirements to determine the <br />exposure of project residents/occupants/users to air pollutants prior to issuance of a <br />grading permit, or issuance of a building permit, whichever is sooner. The HRA shall <br />be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and approval. <br />For individual projects, the HRA shall be completed and identified recommendation <br />in order to reduce exposure to TACs below BAAQMD thresholds of significance, if <br />any, in the HRA shall be incorporated into design and construction documents as
