7 The Sierra Club appealed the PC’s
decision on the basis that they believe
the project requires further
environmental review to evaluate the
“energy needs and air quality impacts
associated with the proposed project.”
8 During the environmental review the San
Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District
(SJVAPCD) provided comments and
mitigations that are incorporated in the
Conditions of Approval for the project.
CalEEMod modeling program was used, which
is the accepted modeling by the SJVAPCD.
9 The project is conditioned to comply with CA
Building Code specifically the Energy Code
and CALGreen to meet State standards.
Per SJVAPCD recommendation prioritization
was performed resulting in a score of 1.66,
well below the threshold of 10. Therefore, the
project would not result in significant health
risk to sensitive receptors.
10 Planning Commission and Staff
recommends the City Council:
◦ Adopt a Resolution affirming the decision
of the Planning Commission to approve
PC Resolution No. 22-15 and PC
Resolution No. 22-16.
