EXHIBIT A <br />Resolution No. _____ Page 21 of 71 <br />Certification of the Magnolia at the Park EIR <br /> <br />Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-5; Initial Study, p. 18.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not conflict with existing zoning, or cause rezoning of, <br />forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public <br />Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government <br />Code Section 51104(g)) because no forest land or timberland exists within the Project site and the Project <br />site is zoned for Professional (P) uses. (Initial Study, p. 18.) <br /> <br />9.2.4 Loss of Forest Land <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non- <br />forest use? <br /> <br />Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-5; Initial Study, p. 18.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project site and vicinity is void of forestland or timberland. (Initial <br />Study, p. 18.) <br /> <br />9.2.5 Conversion <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to <br />their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of <br />forest land to non-forest use? <br /> <br />Finding: No impact. (DEIR, p. 2-5; Initial Study, p. 18.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The Project would not involve other changes in the existing environment <br />which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of farmland, to non-agricultural use or <br />conversion forest land to non-forest use because there is no existing farmland or forest land within or <br />adjacent to the Project site. No other changes to the existing environment would occur from <br />implementation of the Project that could result in conversion of farmland to nonagricultural use of forest <br />land to non-forest use. (Initial Study, p. 18.) <br /> <br />9.3 Air Quality <br /> <br />9.3.1 Applicable Air Quality Plans <br /> <br />Threshold: Would the Project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air <br />quality plan? <br /> <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.2-14.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: As discussed in the DEIR, Projects that are consistent with the regional <br />population, housing, and employment forecasts identified by the Southern California Association of <br />Governments (SCAG) are considered to be consistent with the AQMP. Here, the Project would not <br />conflict with or obstruct implementation of the SCAQMD’s 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), <br />which is the applicable air quality plan for the Project, because the Project is consistent with SCAG’s <br />population, housing, and employment forecasts. Notably, the 496 new multi-family units resulting from <br />the Project would constitute a 0.6 percent increase in the total number of residential units in the City, and <br />a 2 percent increase in the number of the multi-family residential units (5+ units) within the City. The <br />Project’s multi-family units would be within the SCAG projected growth. The housing added by the <br />2-57
