• MM AIR-1b. The following measures pertain to project sites where residences <br />would be located within distances where the Bay Area Air Quality Management <br />District (BAAQMD) or the California Air Resources Board (ARB) recommends not <br />siting residential uses due to exposures to toxic air contaminants (TACs). For <br />example, the current 2005 ARB Land Use Book recommends that agencies avoid <br />siting new sensitive land uses within 500 feet of a freeway, urban roads with <br />100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day. <br />Indoor Air Quality: In accordance with the recommendations of the BAAQMD, <br />appropriate measures (refer to Section 5 of the BAAQMD CEQA Guidelines) shall <br />be incorporated into building design in order to reduce the potential health risk due <br />to exposure of sensitive receptors to TACs, including, but not limited to: <br /> <br />(a) Locate sensitive receptors as far as possible within each project site from any <br />freeways, major roadways or other non-permitted TAC sources (e.g., loading <br />docks, parking lots). [The project Vesting Tentative Map and project PUD <br />comply with and implement this requirement.] <br /> <br />(b) Incorporate tiered plantings of trees (such as redwood, deodar cedar, live oak, <br />and/or oleander) to the maximum extent feasible between the sources of <br />pollution and sensitive receptors. [The project Landscaping Plans in the PUD <br />Development Plan comply with and implement this requirement.] <br /> <br />(c) Install, operate and maintain in good working order a central heating ventilation <br />and air conditioning (HVAC) system or other air take system in the building, or in <br />each residential unit, that meets or exceeds an efficiency standard of Minimum <br />Efficiency Reporting Values (MERV) 13, including the following features: <br />installation of high-efficiency filter and/or carbon filter to filter particulates and <br />other chemical matter from the building (either high-efficiency particulate air <br />[HEPA] filters or ASHRAE 85 percent supply filters). <br /> <br />(d) Retain a qualified HVAC consultant or Home Energy Rating System (HERS) <br />rater during the design phase of the project to locate air ventilation and the <br />HVAC system intakes based on exposure modeling from pollutant sources; <br />install indoor air quality monitoring in buildings. <br /> <br />(e) Applicants shall ensure that HVAC systems and air ventilation systems are <br />maintained, repaired, or replaced on an ongoing and as-needed basis. 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 <br />(CC&Rs) 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. Project <br />Specific Condition. <br /> <br />• MM GEO-6: A professional paleontologist, approved by the City of Pleasanton, shall <br />conduct a site-specific paleontological resources survey on the potential sites for <br />rezoning <br /> <br />If any of the potential sites for rezoning are found to be underlain by older <br />Quaternary deposits, or any other soil with the potential to contain vertebrate fossils
