City Place Sky Lofts Final Environmental Impact Report Findings 4.1.2.4 Level of Significance of Impacts Related to Cumulative Shade and Shadow The contribution of the City Place Sky Lofts project to cumulatively adverse visual impacts related to shade and shadow cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance. 4.1.3 LONG-TERM AIR QUALITY IMPACTS RELATED TO REACTIVE ORGANIC GASES (ROG) 4.1.3.1 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts Related to Operational ROG Emissions As described in Section 43 (Air Quality) of the EIR, project operations would result in emissions of ROG which would exceed the operational phase thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). These ROG emissions cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance and would constitute an unavoidable significant adverse impact. 4.1.3.2 Finding Related to Operational ROG Emissions Specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other considerations, including provision of employment opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR. 4.1.3.3 Facts in Support of the Finding Related to Operational ROG Emissions There are no feasible mitigation measures to substantially reduce ROG emissions during the operational phase. Therefore, the significant adverse impact during operation of the City Place Sky Lofts project related to ROG emissions cannot be reduced to below a level of significance. Compliance with the following project mitigation measures will lessen air quality impacts during operation. AQ-7 All appliances installed as part of the project shall be energy efficient appliances (i.e., washer/dryers, refrigerators, stoves, etc.). AQ-8 The project applicant will install ozone destruction catalysts on all air conditioning units. AQ-9 The proposed project will not include wood burning fireplaces. AQ-10 The project will exceed by 20% requirements of the Energy Efficiency Standards of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations. Prior to approval of a building permit the project applicant will provide documentation to the City Engineer of compliance with this measure. 4.1.3.4 Level of Significance of Impacts Related to Operational ROG Emissions The long term adverse impacts of the City Place Sky Lofts project related to ROG emissions during operation cannot be mitigated to below a level of significance. !': IPROJ-END'ICity Place SkyLoftslFinal E/RlFindings-SOCIFindings-SOC.doc Page 8 January 23, 2009 75A-118
