living experiences), Goal 4 (to provide adequate rental and ownership housing and supportive services), and the Housing Element's policies HE -2.3 and 2.4 (to encourage construction of rental housing, facilitate diverse types of housing, prices, and sizing). Further, it is consistent with the density bonus provisions outlined in the City's Housing Opportunity Ordinance. The project site is located within city limits and is less than five acres in size. It is already in an urbanized setting surrounded by urban uses, and the project has not been identified as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. The project site and type of development proposed are already addressed in the previously approved environmental impact report (EIR) for the MEMU overlay district (EIR No. 2006-01). However, a Class 32 exemption is required for the project because the original EIR did not require a greenhouse gas study. The Applicant submitted a greenhouse gas study to indicate that the project will not negatively impact greenhouse gas reduction goals. In addition, a health risk assessment (HRA) was prepared to identify any impacts from developing a residential community adjacent to a freeway. The HRA recommends that the project incorporate certain window design features on freeway -facing elevations for all units adjacent to the SR -55 freeway, and that the project install air filtration systems throughout.
