AIR-2: Prior to future discretionary project approval, development project applicants shall prepare and submit to the Director of the City Planning and Development Department, or designee, a technical assessment evaluating potential project construction phase-related air quality impacts. The evaluation shall be prepared in conformance with SJVAPCD methodology for assessing construction impacts. If construction related air pollutants are determined to have the potential to exceed the SJVAPCD adopted threshold of significance, the Planning and Development Department shall require that applicants for new development projects incorporate mitigation measures into construction plans to reduce air pollutant emissions during construction activities. The identified measures shall be included as part of the Project Conditions of Approval. Possible mitigation measures to reduce construction emissions include but are not limited to:
• Install temporary construction power supply meters on site and use these to provide power to electric power tools whenever feasible. If temporary electric power is available on site, forbid the use of portable gasoline- or diesel-fueled electric generators.
• Use of diesel oxidation catalysts and/or catalyzed diesel particulate traps on diesel equipment, as feasible.
• Maintain equipment according to manufacturers’ specifications. • Restrict idling of equipment and trucks to a maximum of 5 minutes (per California Air Resources Board [CARB] regulation).
• Phase grading operations to reduce disturbed areas and times of exposure. • Avoid excavation and grading during wet weather.
• Limit on-site construction routes and stabilize construction entrance(s). • Remove existing vegetation only when absolutely necessary. • Sweep up spilled dry materials (e.g., cement, mortar, or dirt track -out) immediately. Never attempt to wash them away with water. Use only minimal water for dust control.

CITY OF FRESNO - Mixed Used Zoning Density Increase Text Amendment| 205 7 APPENDIX A: BUILDABLE LANDS INVENTORY

UPDATED MTUA Task 2: Density Level Analysis Memo – 7/16/2021 1

1234 O Street
Fresno, CA 93721
(559) 449-4500

TO: Sophia Pagoulatos, City of Fresno, Planning & Development Department FROM: Bonique Emerson, AICP, Precision Civil Engineering RE: MTUA Task 2 – Density Level Analysis
DATE: September 24, 2021

The following memo summarizes the assumptions, methodologies, and findings from our completion of Task 2: Density Level Analysis, which consisted of the following sub-tasks.

• Task 2.1. Review Development Standards
• Task 2.2. Identify Maximum Densities
• Task 2.3. Buildable Lands Inventory
• Task 2.4. Calculate Density Maximums (Total Residential Units)

Each sub-task is described in greater detail on the following pages.

Key Takeaways & Recommendations

Density Recommendations
• 500% increase for CR (80 du/acre).
• 300% increase for CMS (48 du/ac).
• 400% increase for NMX (64 du/ac).
• 250% increase for CMX (75 du/ac).
• 200% increase for RMX (90 du/ac).

Other Recommendations and Key Take-Aways:
• The City has the potential for biggest gains in the CR zone district because the property development standards are minimal compared to other districts and the existing max density is low.
• No discernable difference between adjacent/not adjacent to residential properties. • Parking and open space requirements are the biggest hurdles. • We recommend eliminating ground floor retail requirements and allowing 100% residential uses in these districts.

UPDATED MTUA Task 2: Density Level Analysis Memo – 9/24/2021 2 Task 2.1. Review Development Standards
PCE reviewed the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) for the development standards contained within the five (5) zone districts that allow mixed -use development – Neighborhood Mixed- Use (NMX), Corridor/Center Mixed -Use (CMX), Regional Mixed - Use (RMX), Commercial -Main Street (CMS), and Commercial Regional (CR). PCE utilized maximum floor area ratio, residential density, maximum height, required open space area, parking requirements, frontage coverage, landscape buffers, and s etbacks (including RS transition standards) to create a summary table to be used in conjunction with subsequent analysis (See Tasks 2.2- 2.4). For the purpose of this exercise, PCE assumed two (2)-bedroom units. A summary is provided in Table 2.1 below.

UPDATED MTUA Task 2: Density Level Analysis Memo – 9/24/2021 3 Task 2.2. Identify Maximum Densities
In order to produce the two (2) average maximum densities (units per acre) for each of the above zone districts (one for land adjacent to single- family uses, and one for when land is not adjacent to single- family uses), PCE analyzed 1 0 parcels within each district and applied the applicable development standards reviewed in Task 2.1 to create conceptual site plans. The analyzed parcels are listed in Table 2.2.a. The conceptual site plans are attached as Exhibit A.

Table 2.2.a. Mixed Use Parcels Analyzed to Identify Maximum Densities

In order to provide an accurate analysis, PCE considered actual vacant or underutilized parcels located in different neighborhoods throughout Fresno. In this analysis, PCE utilized actual conditions (existing zoning, adjacency, lot size, street frontage, etc.). There were a few exceptions to this rule where we assumed residential adjacency where the next parcel over was actually adjacent to residential.

PCE’s objective in this exercise was to provide site layouts that maximized density given the current zoning constraints. In a few instances , we utilized existing mechanisms that allow for reductions to property development standards (including the utilization of a minor deviation). PCE considered all standards identified in Table 2.1. It should be noted that Floor Area Ratio (FAR) was not uti lized in the analysis as Section 15- 309 of the FMC indicates that FAR is only to be used as an intensity measurement for nonresidential development. It should also be noted that PCE handled the code restriction that prohibits multi-unit residential uses on the ground floor along major streets by assuming that the building frontage would be utilized by leasing offices, lobbies, common areas, etc., and included in the 800-foot per unit gross square footage assumption.

This exercise resulted in the following findings (Table 2.2.b.).

UPDATED MTUA Task 2: Density Level Analysis Memo – 9/24/2021 4 Table 2.2.b. Maximum Density Results

Based on the above analysis, PCE recommends the following:
• 500% increase for CR (80 du/acre).
• 300% increase for CMS (48 du/ac).
• 400% increase for NMX (64 du/ac).
• 250% increase for CMX (75 du/ac).
• 200% increase for RMX (90 du/ac).

PCE recommends the above modifications because they reflect realistic density increases, given the existing site development constraints. The City has the potential for biggest gains in the CR zone distric t because the property development standards are minimal compared to other districts and the existing max density is low.

UPDATED MTUA Task 2: Density Level Analysis Memo – 9/24/2021 5 Task 2.3. Buildable Lands Inventory
PCE created a GIS database of all parcels that are within each of the five (5) zone districts that allow mixed- use development (identified in Task 2.1). PCE determined the gross amount (acreage) of vacant and underutilized land within these areas . While PCE originally set out to distinguish between parcels that are adjacent and not adjace nt to single-family residential uses , PCE ultimately found this step to not yield substantial differences. This is because buildings are required to be pushed to the front of the lot in most of these districts, which resulted in automatic compliance with height and setback interface standards.

For “vacant and underutilized land, ” PCE considered parcels that have an existing land use of either ‘vacant’ , ‘parking’, or ‘open space/ag’ as defined by the City of Fresno’s “Existing Land Use” GIS Shapef ile. PCE also identified parking spaces larger than five (5) acres along the BRT corridor.

Gross Acreage by Zone District . There are approximately 5,736 parcels zoned for mixed-use development comprising approximately 3,866 acres (Table 2.3.a).

Table 2.3.a. Acreage by Zone District

Gross Acreage of Vacant/Underutilized Parcels in Zone Districts that Allow Mixed- Use Development. There are approximately 471 parcels that are zoned for mixed- use development on land that can be considered “underutilized” (i.e., parcels that have an existing land use of ‘vacant’, ‘parking’, or ‘open space/ag’ per City of Fresno Existing Land Use shape file), comprising approximately 629 acres (Table 2.3.b).

Of note, proximity to a BRT stop (i.e., “transit accessibility”) qualifies for a reduction in required parking pursuant to FMC Section 15-2413(B), as follows:

Transit Accessibility. For any land use except residential single-unit, duplex, and triplex development, if any portion of the lot is located within ¼ mile of a transit stop with a 15 minute or more frequent service during the hours of 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., the number of required parking spaces may be reduced by 30 percent of the normally required number of spaces.

From this analysis, PCE identified 14 parking lots that meet the criteria for consideration. These sites are shown in Exhibit B.

Table 2.3.c. Parking Spaces larger than 5 acres in Mixed-Use Zone Districts

Overall, the total acreage of vacant and underutilized land is listed in Table 2.3.d.

These areas comprise approximately 791 acres. Exhibit C maps the areas of mixed use zones and vacant and underutilized land in the City of Fresno.

UPDATED MTUA Task 2: Density Level Analysis Memo – 9/24/2021 7 Task 2.4. Calculate Density Maximums (Total Residential Units) PCE calculated the maximum densities (total potential residential units) based on the acreage determined in Task 2.3. Maximum densities were calculated for two options.

• Option 1: Max Possible Density based on Conceptual Site Plan Analysis In order to determine the maximum number of units that would result from the recommended density increases, PCE m ultiplied the allowed density in each district by recommended increases. PCE then multiplied the total acreage in each district by this modified density. The findings are provided in Table 2.4.a.

Table 2.4.a. Total Potential Units with Recommended Density by Zone District

• Option 2: Three (3) Times Existing Allowed Density
In order to determine the maximum number of units that would result from allowing 3 times the density currently allowed, PCE m ultiplied the allowed density in each district by 3. PCE then multiplied the total acreage in each district by this modified density. The findings are provided in Table 2.4.b.

Table 2.4.b. Total Potential Units with 3 Times Allowed Density by Zone District

As shown in Tables 2.4.a. and 2.4.b. above, the two options would result in similar total units. The current density maximums would allow for the development of 20,434 units (see Table 2.4.c.). According to both options, it is anticipated that an additional 29,263 to 40,868 units overall on vacant and underutilized parcels zoned for mixed- use development. It should be noted that t his number would be higher if the City considers possible redevelopment of already developed parcels besides the identified parking lots along the BRT corridor , which will not be included in the environmental analysis . As discussed previously, PCE recommends Option 1.

CITY OF FRESNO - Mixed Used Zoning Density Increase Text Amendment| 207 9 APPENDIX C: IPAC AND CNDDB SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES LIST

https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/4MNIJ6KAIRB5DA4FXZZZL7L6PY/resources#endangered-species 1/19 IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly aected by activities in the project area.

However, determining the likelihood and extent of eects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site-specic (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project-specic (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.

Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS oce(s) with jurisdiction in the dened project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of inuence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly aected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a sh population even if that sh does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water ow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential eects to species, additional site-specic and project-specic information is often required.

Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local oce and a species list which fullls this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an ocial species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local eld oce directly.

For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an ocial species list by doing the following:

1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.

2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.

3. Log in (if directed to do so).

4. Provide a name and description for your project.

5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.

Listed species and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the sheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries).

Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.

1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Actare threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ). 1 2

https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/4MNIJ6KAIRB5DA4FXZZZL7L6PY/resources#endangered-species 10/19 Probability of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report.

Probability of Presence()
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4- week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey eort (see below) can be used to establish a level of condence in the presence score. One can have higher condence in the presence score if the corresponding survey eort is also high.

How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:

1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.

2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.

3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score.

To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.

Breeding Season ()
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.

Survey Eort ()
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.

To see a bar's survey eort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.

No Data ()
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.

Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas o the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.

Nationwide Conservation Measuresdescribes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the

4/22/22, 10:29 AM IPaC: Explore Location resources
https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/4MNIJ6KAIRB5DA4FXZZZL7L6PY/resources#endangered-species 16/19 locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure.

To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measuresor permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.

What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specied location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.

The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasetsand is queried and ltered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identied as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Actrequirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to oshore activities or development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area.

It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.

What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specied location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .

Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.

How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specied. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.

What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:

1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacic Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);

2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and

https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/4MNIJ6KAIRB5DA4FXZZZL7L6PY/resources#endangered-species 17/19

3. "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Actrequirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in oshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. oshore energy development or longline shing).

Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, eorts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.

Details about birds that are potentially aected by oshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area o the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also oers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results les underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelfproject webpage.

Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Studyand the nanotag studiesor contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.

What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permitto avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.

Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specied location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey eort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey eort is the key component. If the survey eort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey eort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to conrm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be conrmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.

For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.

WETLAND INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME
This can happen when the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map service is unavailable, or for very large projects that intersect many wetland areas. Try again, or visit the NWI mapto view wetlands at this location.

Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identied based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on-the-ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classication established through image analysis.

The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verication work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.

https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/4MNIJ6KAIRB5DA4FXZZZL7L6PY/resources#endangered-species 19/19 Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or eld work. There may be occasional dierences in polygon boundaries or classications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.

Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tubercid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.

Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may dene and describe wetlands in a dierent manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to dene the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies.

Persons intending to engage in activities involving modications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specied agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may aect such activities.

CITY OF FRESNO - Mixed Used Zoning Density Increase Text Amendment| 208 10 APPENDIX D: CITY OF FRESNO INTERDEPARTMENTAL ROUTING

January 6, 2022

Sophia Pagoulatos
Planning and Development Department
2600 Fresno Street, Room 3043
Fresno, CA 93721

Project: Text Amendment (Pre-Consultation)

District CEQA Reference No: 20211347

Dear Ms. Pagoulatos:

The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above from the City of Fresno (City) consisting of a Text Amendment to increase the zoning density for the five zone district s within the City that would allow mixed-use development with the potential to result in a max build out of 49,697 residential dwelling units (Text Amendment). The Text Amendment applies to development projects located in the City of Fresno, CA. Future development as a result of the Text Amendment could occur within one of the communities in the State selected by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for investment of additional air quality resources and attention under Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (2017, Garcia) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities.

The District offers the following comments:

1) Project Siting

The Text Amendment itself will not have an impact on air quality. However, without appropriate mitigation, future development projects within the City may contribute to negative impacts on air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. The Text Amendment sets the planning guidelines for where future developments can be sited. Appropriate project siting helps ensure there is adequate distance between conflicting land uses, to prevent or reduce both localized and cumulative air pollution impacts from residential areas that are in close proximity to commercial and industrial land uses.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 2 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

It is important to note, mixed-use development has the potential result in generating Heavy-Heavy duty (HHD) truck travel. As a result, air emissions from HHD trucks have the ability to impact residential communities and sensitive receptors.

The District recommends the City evaluate the siting of the future residential dwelling units development in comparison to heavy -duty truck routing patterns to help limit emission exposure to residential communities and sensitive receptors. Truck routing patterns involve the path/roads heavy-duty trucks take to and from their destination.

Possible planning resources that may be available to the City and future developers include:
 CARB’s Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective. The document includes tables with recommended buffer distances associated with various types of common sources (e.g.: distribution centers, chrome platers, gasoline dispensing facilities, etc.), and can be found at: https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/ch/handbook.pdf

 CARB’s Freight Handbook Concept Paper: This document compiles best practices designed to address air pollution impacts, which may apply to the siting, design, construction, and operation of freight facilities to minimize health impacts on nearby communities, and can be found at:
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/2019.12.12%20- %20Concept%20Paper%20for%20the%20Freight%20Handbook_1.pdf

2) Assembly Bill 617

Assembly Bill 617 requires CARB and air districts to develop and implement Community Emission Reduction Programs (CERPs) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities, like those in which the Project is located. The South Central Fresno AB 617 community is one of the communities selected by CARB for investment of additional air quality resources and attention under AB 617.

The CERP for the South Central Fresno was developed through an extensive community engagement process, which included input from members of a Community Steering Committee. The South Central Fresno CERP was adopted by the District’s Governing Board in September 2019 and by CARB in February 2020. The CERP identifies a wide range of measures designed to reduce air pollution and exposure, including a number of strategies to be implemented in partnership between a gencies and local organizations. The Community Steering Committee has developed, through a collaborative process, a series of emission reduction strategies with the goal to improve community health by reducing exposure to air pollutants. Such emission reduction strategies include, but are not limited to, enhanced community participation in land use processes, the deployment of zero and near -zero emission HHD trucks, HHD truck rerouting analyses, reducing HHD truck idling, and incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening. The District appreciates the City’s involvement in this San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

program, and encourages the City to further assess the emission reductions measures and strategies included in the CERP, and address them in future development projects as appropriate.

For more information regarding the CERP approved for South Central Fresno, please visit the District website at:
http://community.valleyair.org/selected-communities/south-central-fresno.

3) Recommendations for Future Individual Development Projects

The following recommendations should be considered for inclusion in the environmental document to address impacts resul ting from future development projects on air quality:

3a) Construction Related Emissions

Construction air emissions are short -term emissions generated from construction activities such as mobile heavy -duty diesel off -road equipment, and should be evaluated separately from operational emissions. Equipment exhaust, as well as fugitive dust emissions should be quantified.

To reduce impacts from construction emissions sources, the City should consider the feasibility of incorporating the below measure into future development projects.

Recommended Measure : To reduce impacts from construction -related diesel exhaust emissions, future development projects should utilize the cleanest available off-road construction equipment, including the latest tier equipment.

3b) Health Risk Screening/Assessment

Future development projects will be located in various mixed -use districts throughout the City . The Health Risk Assessment should evaluate the risk associated with sensitive receptors in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit emission exposure to sensitive receptors.

A Health Risk Screening/Assessment identifies potenti al Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) impact on surrounding sensitive receptors such as hospitals, daycare centers, schools, work-sites, and residences. TACs are air pollutants identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California A ir Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.

A common source of TACs can be a ttributed to diesel exhaust emitted from both mobile and stationary sources. List of TACs identified by OEHHA/CARB can be found at: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/carb-identified-toxic-air- contaminants

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

The District recommends future development projects be evaluated for potential health impacts to surrounding receptors (on -site and off -site) resulting from operational and multi-year construction TAC emissions.

i) The District recommends conducting a screening analysis that includes all sources of emissions. A screening analysis is used to identify projects which may have a significant health impact. A prioritization, using CAPCOA’s updated methodology, is the recommended screening method. A prioritization score of 10 or greater is considered to be significant and a refined Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed.

For your convenience, the District’s prioritization calculator can be found at:
http:www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/emission_factors/Criteria/Toxics/Utilities/PRIO RITIZATION%20RMR%202016.XLS.

ii) The District recommends a refined HRA for development projects that result in a prioritization score of 10 or greater. Prior to performing an HRA, it is recommended that development project applicants contact the District to review the proposed modeling protocol. A development project would be considered to have a significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project related health impacts would exceed the Districts significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk and 1.0 for the Acute and Chronic Hazard Indices, and would trigger all feasible mitigation measures. The District recommends that development projects which result in a significant health risk not be approved.

For HRA submittals, please provide the following information electronically to the District for review:

 HRA AERMOD model files
 HARP2 files
 Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission fac tor calculations and methodology.

More information on toxic emission factors, prioritizations and HRAs can be obtained by:

 E-Mailing inquiries to: [email protected]; or
 The District can be contacted at (559) 230-6000 for assistance; or  Visiting the Districts website (Modeling Guidance) at:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/Tox_Resources/AirQualityMonitoring.htm.

3c) Ambient Air Quality Analysis

An ambient air quality analysis (AAQA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

ambient air quality standards. An AAQA will be required to be performed for any future development project s with emissions that exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.

If an AAQA is performed, the analysis should include emissions from both Project specific permitted and non -permitted equipment and activities. The District recommends consultation with Dis trict staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis.

Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance is available online at the District’s website www.valleyair.org/ceqa.

3d) Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement (VERA)

Future development projects may exceed significant criteria pollutant thresholds.

A VERA is a mitigation measure by which the project applicant provides pound- for-pound mitigation of emissions increases through a process that develops, funds, and implements emission reduction projects, with the District serving a role of administrator of the emissions reduction projects and verifier of the successful mitigation effort. To implement a VERA, the project applicant and the District enter into a contractual agreement in which the project applicant agrees to mitigate Project specific emissions by providing funds for the District’s incentives programs.

The funds are disbursed by the District in the form of grants for projects that achieve emission reductions. Thus, project-specific regional impacts on air quality can be fully mitigated. Types of emission reduction projects that have been funded in the past include replacement of old heavy-duty trucks with new, cleaner, heavy- duty trucks, electrification of stationary internal combustion engines (such as agricultural irrigation pumps), and replacement of older school buses.

In implementing a VERA, the District v erifies the actual emission reductions that have been achieved as a result of completed grant contracts, monitors the emission reduction projects, and ensures the enforceability of achieved reductions.

After the project is mitigated, the District certifie s to the Lead Agency that the mitigation is completed, providing the Lead Agency with an enforceable mitigation measure demonstrating that project -specific regional emissions have been mitigated to less than significant. To assist the Lead Agency and project applicant in ensuring that the environmental document is compliant with CEQA, the District recommends the Draft PEIR includes an assessment of the feasibility of implementing a VERA.

Additional information on implementing a VERA can be obtained by con tacting District CEQA staff at by email at [email protected] or by phone at (559) 230 - 6000.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 6 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

3e) Allowed Uses Not Requiring Project-Specific Discretionary Approval

The Text Amendment includes a revision to the Fresn o Municipal Code Section 15-4907 to allow ministerial approval of residential uses in mixed-use districts. The District recommends the City consider requiring future development projects to prepare a technical assessment in consultation with the District, and recommending that a VERA be considered for future development projects determined to have a significant impact on air quality. For example, this requirement would apply to large development projects that would have the potential to result in significant air quality impacts and is determined by the City to be allowed by use, not requiring a project specific discretionary approval from the City.

Furthermore, to strengthen City policies for allowed uses, the District recommends that only future development projects resulting in a less than significant impact for all District CEQA applicable thresholds be eligible for an allowed use approval.

Projects exceeding any District CEQA significance threshold should be required to receive a discretionary approval from the City.

3f) Vegetative Barriers and Urban Greening

The Text Amendment is expected to allow residential units to be located within various mixed -use districts (e.g. neighborhood, commercial, etc.) . For future development projects, the District suggests the City consider the feasibility of incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors (i.e. residential units).

While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, vegetative barriers have been shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population’s exposure to air pollution through the interception of airborne parti cles and the update of gaseous pollutants. Examples of vegetative barriers include, but not limited to the following: trees, bushes, shrubs, or a mix of these. Generally, a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought resistant low maintenance greenery.

3g) Solar Deployment in the Community

It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zero- carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end -use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the City consider the feasibility of incorporating San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 7 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

solar power systems, as an emission reduction strategy for future development projects.

3h) Charge Up! Electric Vehicle Charger

To support further installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of such infrastructure, the District offers incentives to public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure (Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of this incentive program is to promote clean air alternat ive-fuel technologies and the use of low or zero - emission vehicles. The District suggests that the City and project proponent s consider the feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers for future development projects.

Please visit www.valleyair.org/grants/chargeup.htm for more information.

3i) Air Quality Permitting: District Rules 2010 and 2201

Future development projects may be subject to District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) and Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) and will require District permits. In general, facilities with equipment that may emit air pollution or is used for controlling air pollution are subject to permit requirements.

Prior to constr uction, the future development project proponent should submit to the District an application for an Authority to Construct (ATC).

For further information or assistance, the project proponent can contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) office at (559) 230-5888, or visit https://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/ptoprocess.htm#who.

3j) District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review)

The purpose of District Rule 9510 is to re duce the growth in both NOx and PM10 emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources; specifically, the emissions associated with the construction and subsequent operation of completed development projects. T he Rule requires all developers whose projects are applicable to the Rule to mitigate their NOx and PM10 emissions by incorporating clean air design elements into their development projects. Should the proposed development project clean air design element s be insufficient to meet the required emission reductions, developers must pay a fee which ultimately funds incentive projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 8 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

Accordingly, a future development project would be subject to District Rule 9510 if upon full buildout, the project would equal or exceed any of the following applicability thresholds, depending on the type of development, and the land use agency’s approval mechanism:

Development
Type
Discretionary
Approval Threshold
Ministerial
Approval
Threshold
Residential 50 dwelling units 250 dwelling units
Commercial 2,000 square feet 10,000 square feet
Light Industrial 25,000 square feet 125,000 square feet Heavy Industrial 100,000 square feet 500,000 square feet Medical Office 20,000 square feet 100,000 square feet
General Office 39,000 square feet 195,000 square feet
Educational Office 9,000 square feet 45,000 square feet Government 10,00 square feet 50,000 square feet
Recreational 20,000 square feet 100,000 square feet
Other 9,000 square feet 45,000 square feet

District Rule 9510 also applies to any transportation or transit development projects where construction exhaust emissions equal or exceed two (2.0) tons of NOx or two (2.0) tons of PM10.

In the case the future development project(s) are subject to District Rule 9510, an Air Impact Assessment (AIA) application is required and the District recommends that demonstration of compliance with District Rule 9510, before issuance of the first building permit, be made a condition of Project approval.

Information about how to comply with District Rule 9510 can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRHome.htm.

The AIA application form can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRFormsAndApplications.htm.

District staff is available to provide assistance with determining if future development projects will be subject to Rule 9 510, and can be reached by phone at (559) 230-6000 or by email at [email protected].

3k) Other District Rules and Regulations

Future development projects may also be subject to the following District rules:

Regulation VIII, (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions), Rule 4102 (Nuisance), Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings), and Rule 4641 (Cutback, Slow Cure, and Emulsified Asphalt, Paving and Maintenance Operations). In the event an existing building will be renovated, partially d emolished or removed, the project may be subject to District Rule 4002 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants).

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 9 District Reference No. 202211347
January 6, 2022

The above list of rules is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to future project or to obtain information about District permit requirements, project applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the District’s Small Business Assistance Office at (559) 230-5888.

Dear Sophia,

Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District (District)
Comments on the Text Amendment (Pre-Consultation)

The District has reviewed the information provided regarding the Text Amendment (Pre - Consultation) to increase the zoning density for the five (5) zone districts within the City of Fresno and didn’t observe any major impact with the increased densities in areas where the storm drainage system has already accommodated the mixed use zoning. Some of the infill areas that may be accommodated are the proposed bus rapid transit corridors along Kings Canyon, Blackstone Avenue, Shaw Avenue and the downtown area.

In general, areas where no drainage facilities have been constructed, the District’s drainage system can be revised to accommodate increased density that respect the City’s text amendment.

Increasing the density in areas where facilities are already constructed creates additional runoff that cou ld adversely affect existing storm drainage system facilities and may even potentially produce flooding in locations where the District’s Master Plan storm drainage system is complete.

Any proposal to increase densities where facilities are already constr ucted would most likely require mitigation for any increase in the site storm water runoff. Such mitigation shall be in the form of on-site retention or, possibly, storm drainage system modifications. All mitigation systems shall be reviewed and approved by the District. All proposals for increasing density in such drainage systems must be reviewed and approved by the District on a case by case basis to determine the ability to accommodate the proposal.

The City also operate and maintain a Municipal Wastewater Facility with capacity of 80 MGD which service the City of Fresno as well as the City of Clovis. As developments continue, the City of Fresno – Department of Public Utilities shall continue to provide comments and conditions of approval that may affect the City’s sewer infrastructure, wastewater treatment and wastewater storage. In additions, the pending on the specific type of development, some facilities may need to be upsized, relocated and/ or pressurized.

Solid Waste Service Requirements
The City of Fresno - Department of Public Utilities deemed Solid waste and recycling storage areas shall be accessible to haulers. Storage areas shall be located so that the trucks and equipment used by the solid waste and recycling collector(s) have sufficient maneuvering areas and, if feasible, so that the collection haulers can avoid reversing into traffic in Public Right of Way. Project applicants are responsible for procuring current equipment size and turning radius from the City or its contracted solid waste and recycling franchises.

Fresno, CA 93721

Dear Mxs. Sophia Pagoulatos:

Thank you for the opportunity to review the Density Increase Text Amendment for the City of Fresno. The project proposes an increase to the zoning density for 791 acres of mixed-use zoned properties throughout 5 zone districts. This increases the potential number of units 49,697 units for various zone districts in the City of Fresno.

The mission of Caltrans is to provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability. The Local Development Review (LDR) Program reviews land use projects and plans through the lenses of our mission and state planning priorities of infill, conservation, and travel‐ efficient development. To ensure a safe and efficient transportation system, we encourage early consultation and coordination with local jurisdictions and project proponents on all development projects that utilize the multimodal transportation network.

Caltrans provides the following comments consistent with the State’s smart mobility goals that support a vibrant economy and sustainable communities:

“Provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all people and respects the environment”

1. Caltrans recommends that the City of Fresno perform a trip generation comparison for the various locations and land zones, utilizing the latest edition of the ITE Trip Generator,11th Edition.

2. Planned development near high volume corridors should consider implementing multimodal strategies, such as those that originate from Transit-oriented development (TOD), in an effort to reduce the Project’s traffic related impacts.

3. Caltrans recommends the Project implement “smart growth” development regarding parking to offer more alternative transportation choices to residents and employees. Alternative transportation choices may include but not limited to parking for carpools, vanpools, car-share, and/or ride-share programs.

4. Caltrans recommends that a Transportation Impact Study (TIS) be completed for any proposed project that is zoned for the increase in dwelling units. Caltrans has been entrusted to protect the State Highway system to ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods throughout the State. Our task is to protect California’s transportation system, essential for the continued economic vitality of the State and the safety of the general motoring public. Our recommendation for a TIS is based on our need to fully assess this project’s impacts, and to recommend mitigation for any and all project-related impacts to the State Highway System.

5. Given that the future development may attract regional traffic, Caltrans recommends the project proponents(s) conduct a vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) study once development is proposed. In the absence of a local agency VMT guideline, the preparer should refer to the Caltrans Vehicle Miles Traveled-Focused Transportation Impact Study Guide, dated May 20, 2020. Improvements for existing/future bike and pedestrian facilities on roads in the vicinity of the Project and connectivity between home to work/home to shops should be considered and included in the VMT mitigation plan.

INTRODUCTION

The City of Fresno (Applicant) proposes a Text Amendment to increase the zoning density for the f i v e  ( 5 )  z o n e  d i s t r i c t s  w i t h i n  t h e  c i t y  o f  F r e s n o  t h a t  a l l o w  m ixed‐use  development  (Project)  in order to facilitate economically  feasible and high‐quality deve lopment called for in the Fresno General  Plan  along  transit  corridors,  and  to  address  the  need  for  housing.  Such  zone  districts include the Neighborhood Mixed‐Use (NMX), Corridor/Center Mixed‐Use (CMX), Regional Mixed‐ Use (RMX), Commercial‐Main Street (CMS), and Commercial Regiona l (CR) zone districts, herein referenced as “mixed‐use parcels” or “mixed‐use districts.” In  particular, the proposed Project would: (1) remove the maximum density for mixed‐use districts;  (2) modify the restriction that prohibits ground floor residential uses in mixed‐use districts  so that primarily corner properties along arterials with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops will have ma ndated commercial uses; and (3) revise Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) Section 15‐4907 to allow ministerial approval of multi‐family residential  uses  in  mixed‐use  districts.  The  proposed  text  amendment  will  not  revise  other property  development  standards  contained  in  the  FMC.  In  other  words,  all  height,  parking, landscaping, fencing, building height, and setback requirements will remain unchanged.

This acoustical analysis analyze s the potential impacts that co uld result from the proposed text amendment.  Specifically,  10  parcels  were  analyzed  (2  within  each  district)  and  applied  the applicable  development  standards  of  the  corresponding  zone  district,  with  the  exception  of density,  to  create  conceptual  site  plans.  Based  on  this  analysis,  it  was  determined  that  the following densities are the actual maximums that would be possi ble based on the limitations of property development standards:

 CR: 80 dwelling units per acre
 CMS: 48 dwelling units per acre
 NMX: 64 dwelling units per acre
 CMX: 75 dwelling units per acre
 RMX: 90 dwelling units per acre

Based on a Buildable Lands Inventory prepared by the consultant , there are approximately 791 acres of mixed‐use zoned property that have the potential to be  developed in the near term.

These 791 acres consist of land that is considered vacant and u nderutilized and includes parcels that have an existing land use of ‘vacant’, ‘parking’, or ‘open space/ag’ per City of Fresno Existing Land layer, and sites with parking lots over five (5)‐acres alo ng the City’s two (2) identified BRT corridors. Based on this acreage and the maximum densities identified above, the total maximum buildout residential units that could result from this text ame ndment would be 60,880 units, as compared to the current 20,434‐unit capacity on those sites. Th is quantity of dwelling units is unlikely to be constructed within the General Plan horizon of 2035, however a maximum buildout approach is taken to provide CEQA streamlining for housing and  mixed‐use projects anywhere within the corridors. This is the density increase proposed to  be analyzed in the environmental document.

22‐07 (Mixed‐Use Zoning Density Increase, Fresno) 4‐12‐22  3 This environmental noise assessment has been prepared to determine if significant noise impacts will  be  produced  by  the  project  and  to  describe  mitigation  measu r e s  f o r  n o i s e  i f  s i g n i f i c a n t impacts are determined. The environmental noise assessment, pre pared by WJV Acoustics, Inc. (WJVA),  is  based  upon  the  project  information  (including  project  traffic  volumes) provided  by Precision  Engineering.  Revisions  to  the  project  traffic  informa tion  or  other  project‐related information available to WJVA at the time the analysis was prepared may require a reevaluation of the findings and/or recommendations of the report.

Appendix  A  provides  definitions  of  the  acoustical  terminology  u sed  in  this  report.  Unless otherwise stated, all sound levels reported in this analysis are A‐weighted sound pressure levels in decibels (dB).  A‐weighting de‐emphasizes the very low and v ery high frequencies of sound in a manner similar to the human ear. Most community noise standar ds utilize A‐weighted sound levels,  as  they  correlate  well  with  public  reaction  to  noise.  Appendix  B  provides  examples  of sound levels for reference.

NOISE EXPOSURE CRITERIA

General Plan
The  City  of  Fresno  General  Plan  Noise  Element  provides  noise  le vel  criteria  for  land  use compatibility  for  both  transportation  and  non‐transportation  noise  sources.  The  General  Plan sets  noise  compatibility  standards  for  transportation  noise  sour c e s  i n  t e r m s  o f  t h e  D a y ‐ N i g h t Average Level (L dn). The L dn represents the time‐weighted energy average noise level for a  24‐ hour day, with a 10 dB penalty added to noise levels occurring during the nighttime hours (10:00 p.m.‐7:00 a.m.). The Ldn represents cumulative exposure to noise over an extended period of time and are therefore calculated based upon annual average conditions. Table I provides the General Plan noise level standards for transportation noise sources.

The General Plan also provides nois e level standards for non‐tr ansportation (stationary) noise sources. The General Plan noise level standards for non‐transportation noise sources are identical to those provided in the City’s Municipal code, provided below in Table II.

Implementation Policy NS‐1‐i of the General Plan Noise Element provides guidance in regards to mitigation for new developments and projects that have  potentia l t o  res ult in a nois e‐ rel ate d impact at existing noise‐sensitive land uses.

Mitigation  by  New  Development.   Require  an  acoustical  analysis  where  new development  of  industrial,  commercial  or  other  noise  generating   land  uses (including transportation facilities such as roadways, railroad s, and airports) may result in noise levels that exceed the noise level exposure cri teria established by [Table I] and [Table II] to determine impacts, and require deve lopers to mitigate these  impacts  in  conformance  with  Tables  9‐2  and  9‐3  as  a  condition  of  permit approval through appropriate means.

Noise mitigation measures may include:

 The  screening  of  noise  sources  such  as  parking  and  loading  facilities,  outdoor activities, and mechanical equipment;

 Providing increased setbacks for noise sources from adjacent dwellings;

 Installation of walls and landscaping that serve as noise buffers;

 Installation of soundproofing materials and double‐glazed windows; and

 Regulating operations, such as hours of operation, including de liveries and trash pickup.

Alternative  acoustical  designs  that  achieve  the  prescribed  noise  level  reduction may be approved by the City, provided a qualified Acoustical Co nsultant submits information demonstrating that the alternative designs will achieve and maintain the specific targets for outdoor activity areas and interior spaces. As a last resort, developers may propose to construct noise walls along roadways when compatible with aesthetic concerns and neighborhood character. This would  be a developer responsibility, with no City funding.

Implementation Policy NS‐1‐j of the General Plan Noise Element provides guidance in regards to the establishment of a significance threshold when determining  an increase in noise levels over existing ambient noise levels.

Significance  Threshold.  Establish,  as  a  threshold  of  significance  for  the  City's

22‐07 (Mixed‐Use Zoning Density Increase, Fresno) 4‐12‐22  6 environmental review process, that a significant increase in ambient noise levels is assumed if the project would increase noise levels in the immed iate vicinity by 3 dB Ldn or CNEL or more above the ambient noise limits established in  this General Plan Update.

Commentary:  When  an  increase  in  noise  would  result  in  a  “significant”  impact (increase of three dBA or more) to residents or /g3businesses, then noise mitigation would be required to reduce noise exposure. If the increase in  noise is less than three dBA, then the noise impact is considered insignificant and no noise mitigation is needed. By setting a specific threshold of significance in t he General Plan, this policy facilitates making a determination of environmental impact, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act. It helps the City det ermine whether (1) the potential impact of a development project on the noise environment warrants mitigation, or (2) a statement of overriding considerations will be required.

Municipal Code
Section 15‐2506 of the City of Fresno Municipal code establishe s hourly acoustical performance standards for non‐transportation  noise sources. The standards,  provided in Table II, are made more restrictive during the nighttime hours of 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Additionally, the municipal code  states  that  when  ambient  noise  levels  exceed  or  equal  the levels  described  in  Table  II, mitigation shall only be required to limit noise to the existin g ambient noise levels, plus five (5) dB. Section 15‐2506 of the Municipal Code is consistent with Im plementing Policy NS‐1‐I of the Noise Element of the City of Fresno General Plan (adopted 12/18/14).

For  noise  sources  that  are  not  transportation  related,  which  usually  includes  commercial  or industrial activities and other stationary noise sources (such as amplified music), it is common to assume that a 3‐5 dB increase in noise levels represents a subs tantial increase in ambient noise levels. This is based on laboratory tests that indicate that a 3 dB increase is the minimum change perceptible to most people, and a 5 dB increase is perceived as a “definitely noticeable change.”

Appendix  A  provides  definitions  of  the  acoustical  terminology  u sed  in  this  report.  Unless otherwise stated, all sound levels reported in this analysis are A‐weighted sound pressure levels in decibels (dB).  A‐weighting de‐emphasizes the very low and v ery high frequencies of sound in a manner similar to the human ear. Most community noise standar ds utilize A‐weighted sound levels,  as  they  correlate  well  with  public  reaction  to  noise.  A ppendix  B  provides  typical A‐weighted sound levels for common noise sources.

PROJECT-RELATED NOISE ANALYSIS

The  project  would  increase  the  zoning  density  for  the  five  (5) zone  districts  within  the  city of Fresno that allow mixed‐use deve lopment in order to facilitate  economically feasible and high‐ quality development called for in the Fresno General Plan along transit corridors, and to address the  need  for  housing.  The  increase  in  allowable  zoning  density would  result  in  an  increase  in traffic  volumes  along  roadways  in  the  vicinity  of  the  various  m ixed‐use  zoned  parcels.

Additionally, noise associated with various with mixed‐use zoni ng uses (commercial, retail, etc.) as well as varying adjacent zoned land uses, could result in a noise impact at proposed residential land uses.

The change to mixed‐use zoning density would be applicable to numerous parcels across the City of Fresno. In order to assess potential project‐related noise impacts, ten (10) individual sites were selected for analysis. The locations of the ten sites are provided as Appendix C.

Traffic Noise Exposure

Increases  in  project‐related  traffic  noise  exposure  was  analyzed  a l o n g  t w e l v e  ( 1 2 )  r o a d w a y segments. Six (6) sites had one (1) analyzed roadway (if the si te had only one adjacent roadway or if the site had only one adjacent roadway for which Fresno C OG had available traffic volume data). Three (3) sites had two (2) analyzed roadways. One (1) site had zero (0) analyzed roadways, as Fresno COG had no available traffic data for the adjacent roadways.

WJVA  utilized  the  Federal  Highway  Administration  (FHWA)  Highway  Traffic  Noise  Prediction Model (FHWA‐RD‐77‐108). The FHWA Model is a standard analytical  method used for roadway traffic  noise  calculations.  The  model  is  based  upon  reference  e nergy  emission  levels  for automobiles,  medium  trucks  (2  axles)  and  heavy  trucks  (3  or  more  axles),  with  consideration given  to  vehicle  volume,  speed,  roadway  configuration,  distance   to  the  receiver,  and  the acoustical characteristics of the site. The FHWA Model was developed to predict hourly L eq values
for free‐flowing traffic conditions, and is generally considered to be accurate within ±1.5 dB.  To predict Ldn values, it is necessary to determine the hourly distribution o f traffic for a typical day and adjust the traffic volume input data to yield an equivalent hourly traffic volume.

Project‐related significant impacts would occur if an increase in traffic noise associated with the project would result in noise levels exceeding the City’s appli cable noise level standards at the location(s)  of  sensitive  receptors.  For  the  purpose  of  this  analysis  a  significant  impact  is  also assumed to occur if traffic noise levels were to increase by 3  dB at sensitive receptor locations where  noise  levels  already  exceed  the  City’s  applicable  noise  l evel  standards  (without  the project), as 3 dB generally represents the threshold of percept ion in change for the human ear.

The City’s exterior noise level standard for residential land uses is 65 dB L dn.

In order to assess potential project‐related traffic noise exposure impacts, traffic noise exposure levels were modeled for each of the nine (9) analyzed project sites (as described above, one site had  no  available  traffic  data  and  was  therefore  not  analyzed).  Traffic  noise  exposure  was modeled  for  both  existing  zoning  density  allowance  and  proposed  zoning  density  allowance.

22‐07 (Mixed‐Use Zoning Density Increase, Fresno) 4‐12‐22  9 Existing traffic volumes along the twelve analyzed roadway segments were obtained from Fresno COG. Trip generation for the nine analyzed sites, for both exis ting and proposed zoning density allowances,  was  provided  by  Precision  Engineering,  Inc.  Table  IV  provides  the  traffic  volumes used for noise modeling purposes, for each of the twelve analyzed roadway segments. Shown in Table IV are the existing traffic volumes with existing zoning  density allowance trip generation volumes added and the existing traffic volumes with the proposed zoning density allowance trip generation volumes added.

Reference to Table V indicates t hat project‐related increases in traffic noise exposure would be expected to be in the range of 0 to 1.6 dB, as a result of proj ect implementation. The project would not be expected to result  in traffic noise levels at exis ting sensitive receptor locations to exceed  65  dB  Ldn  o r  r e s u l t  i n  a n  i n c r e a s e  o f  3  d B  o r  g r e a t e r  a t  l o c a t i o n s  w h e r e  traffic  noise exposure already exceeds 65 dB Ldn. Therefore, project‐related increases in traffic noise exposure would not be expected to result in any significant noise impacts.

Noise From Residential Sources

Noise associated with residential land uses is typically minimal compared to other land uses such as commercial, industrial, etc. Noise sources associated with residential land uses would typically include vehicle movements, noise associated with landscaping activities, human voices, etc. None

An increase in zoning density would not be expected to result in any increase in noise, other than the above‐described project‐related increases in traffic noise exposure.

Noise Impacts At Proposed Mixed-Use Developments

Mixed‐use  land  uses  would  typically  include  a  variety  of  land  u ses  including  residential, c o m m e r c i a l ,  r e t a i l  a n d  o f f i c e  u s e s .  A  w i d e  v a r i e t y  o f  n o i s e  s o urces  can  be  associated  with commercial and retail land uses.  The noise levels produced by s uch sources can also be highly variable and could potentially impact existing on‐site and off‐ site sensitive receptors. From the p e r s p e c t i v e  o f  t h e  C i t y ’ s  n o i s e  s t a n d a r d s ,  n o i s e  s o u r c e s  n o t  a ssociated  with  transportation sources are considered stationary  noise  sources.  Typical  examples  of  s t a t i on a r y n o i s e s ou r c es include:

 Fans and blowers
 HVAC/Mechanical equipment
 Truck deliveries
 Loading Docks
 Compactors
 Amplified Drive‐Thru Menu Board Speakers
 Automated Car Wash Operations

Noise levels from new stationary noise sources cannot be predic ted with any certainty at this time since specific uses have not yet been proposed and the locations of stationary noise sources relative  to  the  locations  of  noise  sensitive  uses  are  not  known .  However,  under  some circumstances there is a potential for such uses to exceed the City’s noise standards for stationary noise sources at the locations of sensitive receptors.

Noise levels from new stationary noise sources may be effectively reduced by incorporating noise mitigation measures into the project design that consider the geographical relationship between the noise sources of concern and potential receptors, the noise ‐producing characteristics of the sources and the path of transmission between noise sources and sensitive receptors. Options for noise mitigation include the use of building setbacks, the construction of sound walls and the use of noise source equipment enclosures.

When  specific  uses  within  the  project  areas  are  proposed  that  could  result  in  a  noise‐related conflict between a commercial or other stationary noise source  and existing or proposed noise‐ sensitive receptor, an acoustical analysis may be required that  quantifies project‐related noise levels and recommends appropriate mitigation measures to achiev e compliance with the City’s noise standards.

Project: Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for General Plan Amendment and Development Code Text Amendment Application No. P22-02413

District CEQA Reference No: 20220923

Dear Ms. Pagoulatos:

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared by the City of Fresno (City) for the General Plan Amendment and Development Code Text Amendments Application No.

P22-02413 (Amendments). Per the MND, the Amendments are applicable to 3,866 acres in the Fresno area within five zone districts (Neighborhood Mixed Use, Corridor/Center Mixed-Use, Regional Mixed-Use, Commercial – Main Street, and Commercial – Regional) that allow for mixed-use development. The Amendments will increase the zoning density for the five mixed-use zone districts to facilitate economically feasible and high quality development along transit corridors and address the need for housing. The Amendments include: (1) remove the maximum density for mixed-use districts; (2) modify the restriction that prohibits ground floor residential uses in mixed-use districts so that only corner properties along arterials with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stops will have mandated commercial uses; and (3) revise Fresno Municipal Code (FMC) Section 15-4907 to allow ministerial approval of multi-family residential uses in mixed-use districts within the City’s Priority Areas for Development (Project).

The Project area lies within one of the communities in the state selected by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for investment of additional air quality resources and attention under Assembly Bill (AB) 617 (Garcia) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities.

The District offers the following comments regarding the Project:

Project Siting

The Amendments are the blueprint for future growth and provides guidance for the community’s development. Without appropriate mitigation and associated policy, future development projects within the City may contribute to negative impacts on air quality due to increased traffic and ongoing operational emissions. Appropriate project siting helps ensure there is adequate distance between differing land uses, which can prevent or reduce localized and cumulative air pollution impacts from business operations that are in close proximity to receptors (e.g., residences, schools, health care facilities, etc.). The Amendments are siting-related goals, policies, and objectives should include measures and concepts outlined in the following resources:

 CARB’s Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective. The document includes tables with recommended buffer distances associated with various types of common sources (e.g., distribution centers, chrome platers, gasoline dispensing facilities, etc.), and can be found at: https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/ch/handbook.pdf

 CARB’s Freight Handbook Concept Paper: This document compiles best practices designed to address air pollution impacts, which may apply to the siting, design, construction, and operation of freight facilities to minimize health impacts on nearby communities, and can be found at:
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/2019.12.12%20- %20Concept%20Paper%20for%20the%20Freight%20Handbook_1.pdf

Assembly Bill 617

AB 617 requires CARB and air districts to develop and implement Community Emission Reduction Programs (CERPs) in an effort to reduce air pollution exposure in impacted disadvantaged communities, like those in which the Project is located.

The South Central Fresno AB 617 community is one of the statewide communities selected by CARB for development and implementation of a CERP.

Following extensive community engagement and collaboration with the Community Steering Committee, the CERP for the South Central Fresno Community was adopted by the District’s Governing Board in September 2019 and by CARB in February 2020.

During the development of the CERP, the Community Steering Committee expressed concerns regarding the proximity of emission sources to nearby sensitive receptors like schools, homes, day care centers, and hospitals, and the potential future industrial development within the community that may exacerbate the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 3 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

cumulative exposure burden for community residents. The Community Steering Committee also expressed the desire for more meaningful avenues of engagement surrounding the land-use decisions in the area. As these issues can most effectively be addressed through strong partnerships between community members and local land-use agencies.

Project Related Emissions

Per page 53 of the MND, the MND states future development projects within the Project area will be approved either by a discretionary or ministerial approval process. Future development projects within the Project area should identify and characterize project construction and operational air emissions. The District recommends the air emissions be compared to the District significance thresholds as identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts: https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI.pdf. The District recommends that future projects be mitigated to the extent feasible, and that future projects with air emissions above the aforementioned thresholds be mitigated to below these thresholds.

The District understands that future individual project-specific data may not be available at this time. As such, the MND should include a discussion of policies, which when implemented, will require assessment and characterization of project- level emissions, and subsequently require mitigation of air quality impacts to the extent feasible at the individual project-specific level. Environmental reviews of potential impacts on air quality should incorporate the following items:

Construction Emissions

The District recommends for future development projects, to reduce impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions. Future development projects should utilize the cleanest available off-road construction equipment, including the latest tier equipment.

Operational Emissions

The District recommends for future development projects, operational (ongoing) air emissions from mobile sources and stationary sources should be analyzed separately. For reference, the District’s significance thresholds are identified in the District’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts:
https://www.valleyair.org/transportation/GAMAQI.pdf.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 4 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

Recommended Mitigation Measure: At a minimum, project related impacts on air quality should be reduced to levels of significance through incorporation of design elements such as the use of cleaner Heavy Heavy-Duty (HHD) trucks and vehicles, measures that reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMTs), and measures that increase energy efficiency. More information on transportation mitigation measures can be found at:
http://www.valleyair.org/transportation/Mitigation-Measures.pdf.

Recommended Model for Quantifying Air Emissions

Future development project-related criteria pollutant emissions from construction and operational sources should be identified and quantified.

Emissions analysis should be performed using the California Emission Estimator Model (CalEEMod), which uses the most recent CARB-approved version of relevant emissions models and emission factors. CalEEMod is available to the public and can be downloaded from the CalEEMod website at:
www.caleemod.com.

Health Risk Screening/Assessment

Future development projects will be located in various mixed-use zone districts (e.g. commercial, residential, etc.) throughout the City. Per page 53 of the MND, the MND states future development projects within the Project area will be approved either by a discretionary or ministerial approval process. Additionally the MND states on page 54 of the MND, the City would evaluate the health risk associated with future development within the Project area to limit exposure of emissions to sensitive receptors (e.g. residences, mixed-uses, commercial, etc.).

To determine potential health impacts on surrounding receptors a Prioritization and/or a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed for future development projects. These health risk determinations should quantify and characterize potential Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs) identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.

Health risk analyses should include all potential air emissions from the future development project, which include emissions from construction of the future development project, including multi-year construction, as well as ongoing operational activities of the future development project. Note, two common sources of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from heavy-duty off-road earth moving equipment during construction, and from ongoing operation of heavy-duty on-road trucks.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 5 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

Prioritization (Screening Health Risk Assessment):

A “Prioritization” is the recommended method for a conservative screening-level health risk assessment. The Prioritization should be performed using the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s (CAPCOA) methodology.

The District recommends that a more refined analysis, in the form of an HRA, be performed for any future development project resulting in a Prioritization score of 10 or greater. This is because the prioritization results are a conservative health risk representation, while the detailed HRA provides a more accurate health risk evaluation.

To assist land use agencies and project proponents with Prioritization analyses, the District has created a prioritization calculator based on the aforementioned CAPCOA guidelines, which can be found here:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/emission_factors/Criteria/Toxics/Utilities/PRIORI TIZATION-CALCULATOR.xls

Health Risk Assessment:

Prior to performing an HRA, it is strongly recommended that land use agencies/ project proponents develop and submit for District review a health risk modeling protocol that outlines the sources and methodologies that will be used to perform the HRA. This step will ensure all components are addressed when performing the HRA.

A development project would be considered to have a potentially significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project-related health impacts would exceed the District’s significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk, or 1.0 for either the Acute or Chronic Hazard Indices.

A project with a significant health risk would trigger all feasible mitigation measures.

The District strongly recommends that development projects that result in a significant health risk not be approved by the land use agency.

The District is available to review HRA protocols and analyses. For HRA submittals please provide the following information electronically to the District for review:

 HRA (AERMOD) modeling files
 HARP2 files
 Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission factor calculations and methodologies.

For assistance, please contact the District’s Technical Services Department by:

 E-Mailing inquiries to: [email protected]
 Calling (559) 230-5900

Recommended Measure: Development projects resulting in TAC emissions should be located an adequate distance from resid ential areas and other sensitive receptors in accordance to CARB's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective located at https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/ch/handbook.pdf.

Ambient Air Quality Analysis

An Ambient Air Quality Analysis (AAQA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of State or National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The District recommends an AAQA be performed for any future development projects with emissions that exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.

An acceptable analysis would include emissions from both project-specific permitted and non-permitted equipment and activities. The District recommends consultation with District staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis.

Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance, is available online at the District’s website:
www.valleyair.org/ceqa.

Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement

Future development projects located within the Project area could result in a significant impact on air quality. As such, at a minimum, the District recommends a feasibility discussion on implementing a Voluntary Emission Reduction Agreement (VERA) as a mitigation measure for future development projects that are determined to exceed the District’s CEQA significance thresholds.

A VERA is a mitigation measure by which the project proponent provides pound-for- pound mitigation of emissions increases through a process that develops, funds, and implements emission reduction projects, with the District serving a role of administrator of the emissions reduction projects and verifier of the successful mitigation effort. To implement a VERA, the project proponent and the District enter into a contractual agreement in which the project proponent agrees to mitigate project specific emissions by providing funds for the District’s incentives programs.

The funds are disbursed by the District in the form of grants for projects that achieve emission reductions. Thus, project-related impacts on air quality can be mitigated.

Types of emission reduction projects that have been funded in the past include San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 7 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

electrification of stationary internal combustion engines (such as agricultural irrigation pumps), replacing old heavy-duty trucks with new, cleaner, more efficient heavy-duty trucks, and replacement of old farm tractors.

In implementing a VERA, the District verifies the actual emission reductions that have been achieved as a result of completed grant contracts, monitors the emission reduction projects, and ensures the enforceability of achieved reductions. After the project is mitigated, the District certifies to the Lead Agency that the mitigation is completed, providing the Lead Agency with an enforceable mitigation measure demonstrating that project-related emissions have been mitigated.

Truck Routing

Truck routing involves the assessment of which roads Heavy Heavy-Duty (HHD) trucks take to and from their destination, and the emissions impact that the HHD trucks may have on residential communities and sensitive receptors.

Future development projects (e.g. commercial) within the Project area have the potential to generate truck trips. As such, the District recommends the City evaluate HHD truck routing patterns for future development projects, with the aim of limiting exposure of residential communities and sensitive receptors to emissions. This evaluation would consider the current truck routes, the quantity and type of each truck (e.g., Medium Heavy-Duty, HHD, etc.), the destination and origin of each trip, traffic volume correlation with the time of day or the day of the week, overall Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), and associated exhaust emissions. The truck routing evaluation would also identify alternative truck routes and their impacts on VMT and air quality.

Cleanest Available Heavy-Duty Trucks

The San Joaquin Valley will not be able to attain stringent health-based federal air quality standards without significant reductions in emissions from HHD trucks, the single largest source of NOx emissions in the San Joaquin Valley. The District’s CARB-approved 2018 PM2.5 Plan includes significant new reductions from HHD trucks, including emissions reductions by 2023 through the implementation of CARB’s Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation, which requires truck fleets operating in California to meet the 2010 standard of 0.2 g-NOx/bhp-hr by 2023. Additionally, to meet federal air quality attainment standards, the District’s Plan relies on a significant and immediate transition of HHD fleets to zero or near-zero emissions technologies, including the near-zero truck standard of 0.02 g/bhp-hr NOx established by CARB.

Future development projects (e.g. commercial) within the Project area have the potential to generate truck trips. For future development projects, the District

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 8 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

recommends that the following measures be considered by the City to reduce Project-related operational emissions:

 Recommended Measure: Fleets associated with operational activities utilize the cleanest available HHD trucks, including zero and near-zero (0.02 g/bhp- hr NOx) technologies.

 Recommended Measure: All on-site service equipment (cargo handling, yard hostlers, forklifts, pallet jacks, etc.) utilize zero-emissions technologies.

Reduce Idling of Heavy-Duty Trucks

The goal of this strategy is to limit the potential for localized PM2.5 and toxic air contaminant impacts associated with the idling of Heavy-Duty trucks. The diesel exhaust from idling has the potential to impose significant adverse health and environmental impacts.

Future development projects (e.g. commercial) within the Project area have the potential to generate truck trips. The District recommends the City include measures to ensure compliance of the state anti-idling regulation (13 CCR § 2485 and 13 CCR § 2480) and discuss the importance of limiting the amount of idling, especially near sensitive receptors.

Electric On-Site Off-Road and On-Road Equipment

Future development projects may have the potential to result in increased use of off- road equipment (e.g., forklifts) and on-road equipment (e.g., mobile yard trucks with the ability to move materials). The District recommends that the City include requirements for project proponents to utilize electric or zero emission off-road and on-road equipment.

Under-fired Charbroilers

Future development projects will be located in various mixed-use zone districts (e.g. commercial, etc.) throughout the City. The Amendments have the potential to result in future commercial development projects with under-fired charbroilers. Such charbroilers may pose the potential for immediate health risk, particularly when located in densely populated areas or near sensitive receptors.

Since the cooking of meat can release carcinogenic PM2.5 species, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, controlling emissions from new under-fired charbroilers will have a substantial positive impact on public health. The air quality impacts on neighborhoods near restaurants with under-fired charbroilers can be significant on days when meteorological conditions are stable, when dispersion is limited and emissions are trapped near the surface within the surrounding San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 9 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

neighborhoods. This potential for neighborhood-level concentration of emissions during evening or multi-day stagnation events raises air quality concerns.

Furthermore, reducing commercial charbroiling emissions is essential to achieving attainment of multiple federal PM2.5 standards. Therefore, the District recommends that the City include a measure requiring the assessment and potential installation, as technologically feasible, of particulate matter emission control systems for new large restaurants operating under-fired charbroilers.

The District is available to assist the City and project proponents with this assessment. Additionally, the District is currently offering substantial incentive funding that covers the full cost of purchasing, installing, and maintaining the system during a demonstration period covering two years of operation. Please contact the District at (559) 230-5800 or [email protected] for more information, or visit:
http://valleyair.org/grants/rctp.htm

Vegetative Barriers and Urban Greening

The Project is expected to result in future development (e.g. commercial, residential, etc.). As such, the District suggests the City consider incorporating vegetative barriers and urban greening as a measure to further reduce air pollution exposure on sensitive receptors (e.g. residences, schools, healthcare facilities).

While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, vegetative barriers have been shown to be an additional measure to potentially reduce a population’s exposure to air pollution through the interception of airborne particles and the update of gaseous pollutants. Examples of vegetative barriers include, but are not limited to the following: trees, bushes, shrubs, or a mix of these. Generally, a higher and thicker vegetative barrier with full coverage will result in greater reductions in downwind pollutant concentrations. In the same manner, urban greening is also a way to help improve air quality and public health in addition to enhancing the overall beautification of a community with drought tolerant, low-maintenance greenery.

Clean Lawn and Garden Equipment in the Community

Since the Project consists of residential and commercial development, gas-powered residential and commercial lawn and garden equipment have the potential to result in an increase of NOx and PM2.5 emissions. Utilizing electric lawn care equipment can provide residents with immediate economic, environmental, and health benefits.

The District recommends the Project proponent consider the District’s Clean Green Yard Machines (CGYM) program which provides incentive funding for replacement of existing gas powered lawn and garden equipment. More information on the District CGYM program and funding can be found at:
http://www.valleyair.org/grants/cgym.htm
San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 10 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

and http://valleyair.org/grants/cgym-commercial.htm.

On-Site Solar Deployment

It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zero- carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District recommends incorporating solar power systems as an emission reduction strategy for future development projects.

Electric Vehicle Chargers

To support and accelerate the installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of required infrastructure, the District offers incentives to public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure (Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of the District’s Charge Up! Incentive program is to promote clean air alternative-fuel technologies and the use of low or zero-emission vehicles. The District recommends the installation of electric vehicle chargers at project sites as a mitigation measure for future development projects.

Please visit www.valleyair.org/grants/chargeup.htm for more information.

District Rules and Regulations

The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources, and regulates some activities that do not require permits. A project subject to District rules and regulations would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with the District’s regulatory framework. In general, a regulation is a collection of individual rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. As an example, Regulation II (Permits) includes District Rule 2010 (Permits Required), Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review), Rule 2520 (Federally Mandated Operating Permits), and several other rules pertaining to District permitting requirements and processes.

The list of rules below is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Current District rules can be found online at: www.valleyair.org/rules/1ruleslist.htm. To identify other District rules or regulations that apply to future projects, or to obtain information about District permit requirements, the project proponents are strongly encouraged to contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (559) 230-5888.

San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Page 11 of 15 District Reference No: 20220923
August 3, 2022

District Rules 2010 and 2201 - Air Quality Permitting for Stationary Sources

Stationary Source emissions include any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any affected pollutant directly or as a fugitive emission. District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) requires operators of emission sources to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO) from the District. District Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) requires that new and modified stationary sources of emissions mitigate their emissions using Best Available Control Technology (BACT).

Future development projects may be subject to District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) and Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) and may require District permits. Prior to construction, the project proponents should submit to the District an application for an ATC.

Recommended Mitigation Measure: For projects subject to permitting by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, demonstration of compliance with District Rule 2201 shall be provided to the City before issuance of the first building permit.

For further information or assistance, project proponents may contact the District’s SBA Office at (559) 230-5888.

District Rule 9510 - Indirect Source Review (ISR)

Accordingly, future development projects within the Project area may be subject to District Rule 9510 if upon full buildout, the project would equal or exceed any of the following applicability thresholds, depending on the type of development and public agency approval mechanism:

Table 1: ISR Applicability Thresholds
Development
Type
Discretionary
Approval Threshold
Ministerial Approval /
Allowed Use / By Right
Thresholds
Residential 50 dwelling units 250 dwelling units
Commercial 2,000 square feet 10,000 square feet
Light Industrial 25,000 square feet 125,000 square feet Heavy Industrial 100,000 square feet 500,000 square feet Medical Office 20,000 square feet 100,000 square feet
General Office 39,000 square feet 195,000 square feet
Educational Office 9,000 square feet 45,000 square feet Government 10,00 square feet 50,000 square feet
Recreational 20,000 square feet 100,000 square feet
Other 9,000 square feet 45,000 square feet

District Rule 9510 also applies to any transportation or transit development projects where construction exhaust emissions equal or exceed two tons of NOx or two tons of PM.

The purpose of District Rule 9510 is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources; specifically, the emissions associated with the construction and subsequent operation of development projects. The Rule requires developers to mitigate their NOx and PM emissions by incorporating clean air design elements into their projects. Should the proposed development project clean air design elements be insufficient to meet the required emission reductions, developers must pay a fee that ultimately funds incentive projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.

In the case the individual development project is subject to District Rule 9510, per Section 5.0 of the rule, an Air Impact Assessment (AIA) application is required to be submitted no later than applying for project-level approval from a public agency. It is preferable for the applicant to submit an AIA application as early as possible in the public agency’s approval process so that proper mitigation and clean air design under ISR can be incorporated into the public agency’s analysis.

District staff is available to provide assistance with determining if future development projects will be subject to Rule 9510, and can be reached by phone at (559) 230-5900 or by email at [email protected].

District Rule 9410 (Employer Based Trip Reduction)

Future development projects may be subject to District Rule 9410 if the project would result in employment of 100 or more “eligible” employees. District Rule 9410 requires employers with 100 or more “eligible” employees at a worksite to establish an Employer Trip Reduction Implementation Plan (eTRIP) that encourages employees to reduce single-occupancy vehicle trips, thus reducing pollutant emissions associated with work commutes. Under an eTRIP plan, employers have the flexibility to select the options that work best for their worksites and their employees.

www.valleyair.org/tripreduction.htm.

For additional information, you can contact the District by phone at 559-230- 6000 or by e-mail at [email protected]

District Rule 4002 (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)

Future development projects will be subject to District Rule 4002 since the Project will include demolition, renovation, and removal of existing structures.

To protect the public from uncontrolled emissions of asbestos, this rule requires a thorough inspection for asbestos to be conducted before any regulated facility is demolished or renovated. Any asbestos present must be handled in accordance with established work practice standards and disposal requirements.

District Rule 4601 (Architectural Coatings)

Future development projects may be subject to District Rule 4601 since it may utilize architectural coatings. Architectural coatings are paints, varnishes, sealers, or stains that are applied to structures, portable buildings, pavements or curbs. The purpose of this rule is to limit VOC emissions from architectural coatings. In addition, this rule specifies architectural coatings storage, cleanup and labeling requirements. Additional information on how to comply with District Rule 4601 requirements can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/rules/currntrules/r4601.pdf

District Regulation VIII (Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions)

The project proponent may be required to submit a Construction Notification Form or submit and receive approval of a Dust Control Plan prior to commencing any earthmoving activities as described in Regulation VIII, specifically Rule 8021 – Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving Activities.

Should the project result in at least 1-acre in size, the project proponent shall provide written notification to the District at least 48 hours prior to the project proponents intent to commence any earthmoving activities pursuant to District Rule 8021 (Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving Activities). Also, should the project result in the disturbance of 5- acres or more, or will include moving, depositing, or relocating more than 2,500 cubic yards per day of bulk materials, the project proponent shall submit to the District a Dust Control Plan pursuant to District Rule 8021 (Construction, Demolition, Excavation, Extraction, and Other Earthmoving Activities).

Dear Ms. Pagoulatos:

The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) received a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the General Plan Amendment/Development Code Text Amendment Application No. P22-02413 (Project). The Lead Agency is receiving this notice from DTSC because the Project includes one or more of the following:
groundbreaking activities, work in close proximity to a roadway, work in close proximity to mining or suspected mining or former mining activities, presence of site buildings that may require demolition or modifications, importation of backfill soil, and/or work on or in close proximity to an agricultural or former agricultural site.

The MND references the listing compiled in accordance with California Government Code Section 65962.5, commonly known as the Cortese List. Not all sites impacted by hazardous waste or hazardous materials will be found on the Cortese List. DTSC recommends that the Hazards and Hazardous Materials section of the MND address actions to be taken for any sites impacted by hazardous waste or hazardous materials within the Project area, not just those found on the Cortese List. DTSC recommends consulting with other agencies that may provide oversight to hazardous waste facilities and sites in order to determine a comprehensive listing of all sites impacted by hazardous waste or hazardous materials within the Project area. DTSC hazardous waste facilities and sites with known or suspected contamination issues can be found Ms. Pagoulatos
