2025-023 - Addendum to Transit Zoning Code Environmental Impact Report

Home Browse Search

This section analyzes the effects to global climate change from implementing the proposed zoning code regulations. Would the project a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment? b. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gas? TZC EIR Conclusions • Long-term cumulative development pursuant to the Transit Zoning Code at full build-out would result in significant localized air quality impacts for operational level emissions. As a whole, this impact is significant for operational emissions due to the size of the Transit Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B) area. (Impact 4.13-1: Significant and Unavoidable and no feasible mitigation) • 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 8413) 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 January 2025 53 Environmental Analysis Resolution No. 2025-023 Page 61 of 65
