Vista Charter Public Schools District Office and Outdoor Space Project CEQA Exemption 15183 truck trips per day. Therefore, diesel particulate matter emissions generated by the light industrial uses to the south are nominal and would not cause significant health impacts to on -site sensitive receptors (i.e., proposed outdoor play area). As such, on -site sensitive receptors would have less than significant health impacts from the future operations of the OC Streetcar and the existing operations of adjacent light industrial uses, and potential health risk from the future OC Streetcar and existing light industrial uses on on -site sensitive receptors was not quantified. A less than significant impact would occur in this regard. OBJECTIONABLE ODORS According to the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, land uses associated with odor complaints typically include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding. The proposed project does not include any uses identified by the SCAQMD as being associated with odors. Construction activities associated with the project may generate detectable odors from heavy- duty equipment exhaust and architectural coatings. However, construction -related odors would be short-term in nature and cease upon project completion. In addition, the project would be required to comply with the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Sections 2449(d)(3) and 2485, which minimize the idling time of construction equipment either by requiring equipment to be shut off when not in use or limiting idling time to no more than five minutes. Compliance with these existing regulations would further reduce the detectable odors from heavy-duty equipment exhaust. Project's compliance with RR AQ-3 would ensure compliance with the SCAQMD Regulation XI, Rule 1113 —Architectural Coating, which would minimize odor impacts from ROG emissions during architectural coating. Any odor impacts to existing adjacent land uses would be short-term and negligible. As such, the project would not result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people. Impacts would be less than significant in this regard. 4.3.3 Conclusion Overall, the project is consistent with the General Plan Update. With implementation of RR AQ-1 though AQ-3 identified in the GPU EIR, the proposed project would not have any specific effects which are peculiar to the project or the site. There are no project -specific impacts or potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts the GPU EIR failed to analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe air quality impacts than anticipated by the GPU EIR. Applicable GPU EIR Regulatory Requirements/Mitigation Measures: RR AQ-1 (amended) New buildings are required to achieve the current California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6) and California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) (Title 24, Part 11). The 202249 Building Energy Efficiency Standards became effective January 1, 20220. The Building and Energy Efficiency Standards and CALGreen are updated tri-annually with a goal to achieve net zero buildings energy for 2030. RR AQ-2 Construction activities will be conducted in compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Section 2449, which requires that nonessential idling of construction equipment is restricted to five minutes or less.
