Section 6 <br />Centennial Park and the Heritage Museum would be evaluated for potential <br />impacts to aesthetic resources and if needed, would be required to include <br />measures to reduce potentially significant aesthetic impacts. By evaluating <br />irnpacts to aesthetic resources and requiring mitigation measures to minimize <br />aesthetic impacts, potential cumulative impacts to aesthetic resources would be <br />less than significant, <br />Air Quality <br />In accordance with CEQA Guidelines 15130(b), this analysis Of CUMUlative <br />impacts is based on a summary of projections analysis provided in the South <br />Coast Air Quality Management District Air Quality Management Plan, The South <br />Coast Air Basin is in nonattainment for ozone, particulate matter (PM it and <br />PM2 5), and nitrogen dioxide, which means that concentrations of those pollutants <br />currentlly exceed the ambient air quality standards for those pollutants, if a <br />project causes concentrations of ozone, PM1U, PIV112r�, and nitrogen dioxide to <br />exceed the ambient air quality standards, then the project is considered to <br />contribute considerably to significant cumulative air quality impacts. <br />In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064, subdivision (h) (3), a: lead <br />agency may determine that a project's incremental contribution to a, cumulative <br />effect is not cumulatively considerable if the project complies with the <br />requirements in a previously approved plan or mitigation program. As identified <br />in Impact AIR-1, the Proposed Project and Project Alternatives would comply <br />with the control measures in the AQMP and all of the SCAQMD's applicable rules <br />and regulations and would' not exceed the SCAQMD's CEQA regional and local <br />significance thresholds. The analysis contained in impact AIR-1 also <br />demonstrates that the Proposed Project and Project Alternatives would be <br />consistent with the most recent AQMP and State Implementation Plan without <br />mitigation. Therefore, the Proposed Project and Project Alternatives would not <br />contribute considerably to significant cumulative air quality impacts. Proposed <br />development projects in the project area would be required to evaluate potential <br />cumulative air quality impacts and provide measures to minimize cumulative air <br />quality impacts in the region. By requiring the evaluation of potential adverse air <br />quality and including measures to minimize air quality impacts potential <br />significant cumulative air quality would be reduced to a less than significant level. <br />Biology <br />The project site and surrounding project area do not contain any special status <br />plant or wildlife species. Therefore, the Proposed Project and the Project <br />Alternatives would not contribute to significant adverse cumulative impacts to <br />special status plant or wildlife species.
