ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the Planning Commission action was determined to be adequately evaluated in the previously certified Subsequent Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. 2018-15 (State Clearinghouse No. 2006031041) as per Sections 15162 and 15168 of the CEQA guidelines. All mitigation measures in EIR No. 2018-15 and associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) have been enforced and continue to apply to the proposed project. As required by the MMRP, a traffic impact analysis was performed to analyze any potential changes in area traffic as a result of the proposed development. The study concluded that no additional significant impacts would trigger the requirement for additional environmental review. In addition, a health risk assessment (HRA) was prepared to identify any impacts from developing a residential community near a major freeway. The HRA finds that no mitigation measures are required for the project other than installing and routinely maintaining high efficiency Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) filters of MERV 13 or better as indicated by the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE) Standard 52.2, in the intake of ventilation systems.
