Home Browse Search

• Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build -out has the potential to conflict with AB 32. The Project as a whole is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.13-2: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) TZC EIR Mitigation Measures MM4.13-1 All diesel fueled construction equipment shall be classified EPA Tier II or better emission efficiencies. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-2 All construction equipment shall be shut off when not in use and shall not idle for more than five minutes, unless actively engaged in construction activities. MM4.13-3 Queuing of trucks on- and offsite shall be limited to periods when absolutely necessitated by grading or construction activities. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-3 Queuing of trucks on- and offsite shall be limited to periods when absolutely necessitated by grading or construction activities. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-4 All on -road construction trucks and other vehicles greater than 10,000 pounds shall be shut off when not in use and shall not idle for more than 5 minutes. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-5 To the extent feasible, all diesel- and gasoline -powered construction equipment shall be replaced with equivalent electric equipment. MM4.13-6 Project plans and specifications shall include policies and procedures for the reuse and recycling of construction and demolition waste (including, but not limited to, soil, vegetation, concrete, lumber, metal, and cardboard). (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-7 Project plans and specifications shall include education for construction workers about reducing waste and using available recycling services. (Impact 4.3-1) MM4.13-8 Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall demonstrate that the design of the proposed buildings or structures meets or exceeds the most recent Title 24 requirements (Title 24, Part 6 of the California Code of Regulations; Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Non Residential Buildings; Cool Roof Coatings performance standards), subject to review by the City Building Official. Documentation of compliance with this measure shall be provided to the Planning and Building Agency and Building Official for review and approval prior to issuance of the permit. Installation of the identified design features or equipment will be confirmed by the City Building Official prior to certificate of occupancy. The following design features should be considered by the applicant as a way to achieve Title 24 compliance in excess of the minimum requirement: o Increase in insulation such that heat transfer and thermal bridging is minimized o Limit air leakage through the structure or within the heating and cooling distribution system to minimize energy consumption o Incorporate dual -paned or other energy efficient windows o Incorporate energy efficient space heating and cooling equipment o Incorporate energy efficient light fixtures o Incorporate energy efficient appliances o Incorporate energy efficient domestic hot water systems o Incorporate solar panels into the electrical system o Incorporate cool roofs/light-colored roofing January 2025 51 Environmental Analysis
