4 NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT <br />ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WITHOUT MITIGATION MEASURES <br />Additionally, the City finds that the Project will implement the following regulatory requirements <br />(Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 4.1-9): <br />RR AQ-2: Construction activities will be conducted in compliance with California Code of <br />Regulations, Title 13, Section 2449, which requires that nonessential idling of construction <br />equipment is restricted to five minutes or less. <br />RR AQ-3: Construction activities will be conducted in compliance with any applicable <br />South Coast Air Quality Management District rules and regulations, including but not <br />limited to: <br />• Rule 403, Fugitive Dust, for controlling fugitive dust and avoiding nuisance. <br />• Rule 402, Nuisance, which states that a project shall not "discharge from any <br />source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which <br />cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of <br />persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety <br />of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural tendency to <br />cause, injury or damage to business or property." <br />• Rule 1113, which limits the volatile organic compound content of architectural <br />coatings. <br />• Rule 1466, Soil Disturbance. Projects that involve earth -moving activities of more <br />than 50 cubic yards of soil with applicable toxic air contaminants are subject to <br />this rule. <br />Explanation of the Rationale: Construction activities associated with the Project may generate <br />detectable odors from heavy-duty equipment exhaust and architectural coatings. However, <br />construction -related odors would be short-term in nature and cease upon completion of <br />construction activities. According to the Odor Complaints, Health Impacts, and Monitoring <br />Methods prepared for the California Air Resources Board, odors typically come from industrial <br />facilities, including wastewater treatment plants, municipal solid waste landfills, trash transfer <br />stations, composting facilities, animal agriculture, chemical and petroleum industries, and roadkill <br />collection facilities. The Project would not include any of these uses or odor sources. Because <br />the Project would include restaurants, there is the potential for uses within the immediate area to <br />experience odors associated with restaurant operations. However, the Project comply with <br />SCAQMD Rule 402 (Nuisance), which prohibits emission of any material that causes nuisance to <br />a considerable number of persons or endangers the comfort, health, or safety of any person. <br />Compliance with SCAQMD Rule 402 would ensure potential restaurant -related odors during <br />Project operation would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people, <br />and impacts related to odors during Project operation would be less than significant.
