would be required. Draft Supplemental EIR Table 5.1-19 shows that overlapping emissions would continue to exceed SCAQMD thresholds for ROG after implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ- 1 through AQ-7. The majority of the proposed Project's ROG emission exceedances are from consumer products that the City cannot control emissions of; and therefore, cannot feasibly be reduced below the SCAQMD thresholds. As a result, impacts from overlapping emissions of Phase 1 operations and Phase 2 construction would be significant and unavoidable (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.1-29) Phase 1 Operations + Phase 2 Operation + Phase 3 Construction. Phase 1 and Phase 2 have the potential to be operational during Phase 3 construction. Draft Supplemental EIR Table 5.1-21 shows that overlapping emissions would continue to exceed SCAQMD thresholds for ROG and NOx after implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-7. As detailed previously, the majority of the proposed Project's emission exceedances are from consumer product and mobile sources and cannot feasibly be reduced below the SCAQMD thresholds. Emissions from motor vehicles are controlled by state and federal standards and the City and proposed Project have no control over these standards. Therefore, impacts from overlapping emissions of Phases 1 and 2 operations and Phase 3 construction would be significant and unavoidable (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.1-30). Buildout Operational Emissions The mitigated operational emissions from Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 combined are provided in Draft Supplemental EIR Table 5.1-22, which shows that after implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-7 the net increase in operational emissions from the proposed Project at buildout would exceed thresholds for ROG. ROG emissions are generated from consumer products, the emissions of which are not controlled by either the City or the applicant. Therefore, operational air quality impacts would remain significant and unavoidable after implementation of mitigation. (Draft Supplemental EIR at pp. 5.1-30 through 5.1-31). N. Parks and Recreation Impact Finding: The Project would result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provisions of new or altered park facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts (Draft Supplemental EIR at p. 5.12-5). Facts in Support of Findings: As described in Draft Supplemental EIR Section 5.10, Population and Housing, the proposed Project is to result in 9,238 residents at full occupancy. This would increase demand for park and recreational facilities. Based on the GPU policy to attain 3 acres of parkland per every 1,000 residents, the proposed Project would result in a demand for approximately 27.7 acres of parkland, to support these additional populaces. The proposed Project would meet a portion of this increased need through provision of approximately 1 3.1 acres of public open space. In addition, each of the buildings with residential units would include private recreation facilities for residents. Future developments pursuant to the Specific Plan would provide public and private open space amenities at a ratio of 200 SF per unit, such as open space rooftop areas, tot lots, pools and spas, courtyards, fitness areas, dog runs, etc.
