nonconforming noxious uses, establish screening walls, eliminate vehicle servicing on Sundays.
<br />These regulations would reduce dust and lessen air quality emissions. No land use shall
<br />generate or cause any visible dust, gases, or smoke to be emitted into the atmosphere. Uses,
<br />activities, and processes shall not operate in a manner that emits dust, fumes, odors, smoke, or
<br />particulate matter, unless authorized under Federal, State, or local law. Sources of air emissions
<br />shall comply with all rules established by the Environmental Protection Agency (Code of Federal
<br />Regulations, Title 40), the California Air Resources Board, and the South Coast Air Quality
<br />Management District. These regulations will have a beneficial impact to air quality.
<br />Any future development within the TZC area requiring discretionary action would continue to be
<br />subject to a project -level CEQA review at the time an application is filed for an individual project.
<br />In addition, compliance with the existing regulations and proposed amendments will assure that
<br />potential impacts are not exacerbated, which will result in a beneficial impact to air quality.
<br />Mitigation measures MM4.2-1 through MM4.2-36 would continue to apply. Therefore, the project
<br />does not trigger new air quality impacts requiring the preparation of a subsequent or
<br />supplemental EIR. There would be no new or more severe significant impacts to air quality.
<br />5.3 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
<br />This section analyzes the effects to biological resources from implementing the proposed zoning
<br />code regulations.
<br />Would the project:
<br />a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any
<br />species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional
<br />plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or
<br />U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
<br />b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
<br />community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California
<br />Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
<br />c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands (including, but not
<br />limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological
<br />interruption, or other means?
<br />d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or
<br />wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or
<br />impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
<br />e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a
<br />tree preservation policy or ordinance?
<br />f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community
<br />Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
<br />TZC EIR Conclusions
<br />No endangered, rare, threatened, or special status plant species (or associated habitats)
<br />or wildlife species designated by the USFWS, CDFG, or CNPS are known to occur or
<br />expected to occur within the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (DEIR
<br />Section 4.3.3: Effects Found to Have No Impact)
<br />No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities are located in these areas.
