The human ear perceives a 10 dB(A) increase in sound level as a doubling of sound.
The City has jurisdiction over noise regulation, as stated in the City’s Municipal Code, Title 9, Chapter 36 Noise Restrictions (Noise Ordinance). The Noise Ordinance is intended to enforce the City’s policy to prohibit “unnecessary, excessive, and annoying noises from all sources.” The City’s noise ordinance includes specific provisions regarding construction noise. Section 9.36.070 of the Municipal Code prohibits the operation of construction equipment and construction activity except from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday in or within 500 feet of a residential district.
Operation of construction equipment is prohibited on Sunday and on defined holidays. Section 9.36.080 of the Municipal Code prohibits the operation of powered construction equipment that generates a noise level of 85 dB(A) when measured within a radius of 100 feet from such equipment. The Central Park Apartments Project would comply with all City noise regulations.

Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment January 2022 Construction noise levels vary from hour-to-hour and day-to-day, depending on the equipment in use, the operations being performed, and the distance between the source and receptor. Construction of the proposed project and the related projects would generate noise that could expose nearby receptors to elevated noise levels that may disrupt communication and routine activities. The magnitude of the impact would depend on the type of construction activity, equipment, duration of the construction, distance between the noise source and receiver, and intervening structures. As noted above, section 9.36.080 of the Pasadena Municipal Code requires that construction equipment noise not exceed 85 dB(A) at 100 feet.
As shown in Table 4.13-2 of the SCEA, which lists the construction equipment that would be used for the Proposed Project for various construction phases and their noise levels for a reference receptor at 100 feet, the loudest single piece of construction equipment would be anticipated to have a maximum value of 83.6 dBA at 100 feet. All other anticipated equipment to be used for the Proposed Project would have a lower noise level, and thus all would be below the City’s threshold.
It is assumed that the nearest Related Project, located at 33-45 W. Green Street, approximately 350 feet from the project site9, would generate a similar maximum construction noise level as the Proposed Project.
As such, the construction noise level from the nearest Related Project would be 83.6 dBA at 100 feet, again, below the City’s threshold. The nearest sensitive receptor, the Green Hotel Apartments building is approximately 300 feet from the nearest Related Project construction activity. At this distance, construction noise would be reduced to approximately 71 dBA.10 Additionally, the nearest Related Project would be shielded from the Green Hotel Apartments building by existing buildings along both Fair Oaks Avenue and Green Street, which would further reduce construction noise by at least 10 dBA, resulting in a final construction noise level of 61 dBA at the Green Hotel Apartments building.
These temporary construction noise level increases would not exceed the requirements specified in Pasadena Municipal Code section 9.36.080. As a result, cumulative temporary construction noise impacts on ambient noise levels would be considered less than significant. 9 The other three Related Projects are approximately 500, 700, and 1,000 feet from the Project Site. Construction noise impacts associated with a particular development are generally localized and are not considered to be cumulatively considerable beyond 500 feet from the construction site or along roadways by which construction traffic would access the site.
10 Sound generated by a point source typically diminishes (attenuates) at a rate of 6 dB(A) for each doubling of distance from the source to the receptor at acoustically “hard” sites and 7.5 dB(A) at acoustically “soft” sites. For example, if a noise source produces a noise level of 89 dB(A) at a reference distance of 50 feet, the noise level would be 83 dB(A) at a distance of 100 feet from the noise source, 77 dB(A) at a distance of 200 feet, and so on. (Federal Highway Administration, Highway Noise Fundamentals, (1980) 97. Examples of “hard” or reflective sites include asphalt, concrete, and hard and sparsely vegetated soils. Examples of acoustically “soft” or absorptive sites include soft, sand, plowed farmland, grass, crops, heavy ground cover, etc.)

7.10 DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONAL NOISE IMPACTS
Several comments were submitted regarding the construction of the Proposed Project creating ‘a threesided enclosed 75-90 foot tall building canyon’ and the potential for this to create a significant noise impact due to the volume of traffic entering and exiting via the Dayton Street driveway.
As discussed in Section 4.13 Noise of the SCEA Checklist Analysis prepared for the Proposed Project, the City of Pasadena’s Transportation Data Management System shows that Dayton Street between Fair Oaks Avenue and Raymond Avenue has a traffic volume of approximately 70 vehicles during the A.M. peak hour, and 118 vehicles during the P.M. peak hour.11 It takes a doubling of traffic volume to increase noise levels by 3 dB(A). Studies done by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)12 have shown that a 3 dB(A) increase in sound level pressure is barely detectable by the human ear. As such, the project’s addition of approximately 52 A.M. peak hour trips and 73 P.M. peak hour trips would not increase in traffic volumes enough to cause a significant audible increase in traffic noise.
Further, even if the receptor with the lowest ambient noise levels (Central Park 55.8 dBA Leq) is assumed to represent the noise levels at the Green Hotel Apartments, the 866 daily vehicles entering and exiting the parking garage would not substantially elevate ambient noise levels. This is due to three primary reasons.
First, the 866 daily vehicle trips generated by the proposed project would average 52 vehicles during A.M. peak hours, 73 vehicles during P.M. peak hours, and would dwindle down to 20 vehicles during nighttime hours. Using time-of-day data from the Institute of Traffic Engineers (assuming land use code 221- Multifamily Housing Mid-Rise), during A.M. peak hours, this is an average of less than one vehicle per minute; during P.M. peak hours, this is an average of 1.22 vehicles per minute, and one vehicle every three minutes during the night. This volume of vehicle travel is not enough to substantially elevate noise levels.
Second, these vehicles would be traveling at a slow rate of speed as they enter and exit the parking garage, navigating a turn from the driveway to the garage. Slower vehicles generate minimal noise from tires traveling over hardscape on a driveway. Finally, these vehicles would be entering a garage that would be 150 feet south of the Green Hotel Apartments. At that distance, low noise levels from vehicles entering and exiting the garage would be substantially attenuated, as noise can decrease by 6 dBA with each doubling of distance.
To confirm this, an analysis was run using the Federal Transit Administration’s Noise Impact Assessment spreadsheet (included as Appendix J, Supplemental Noise Analysis to this SCEA), a tool that calculates the traffic noise generated from a project site, which takes into consideration the number of vehicles per 11 City of Pasadena, Transportation Data Management System.

Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment January 2022 hour during daytime and nighttime hours, which indicates that there would be less than a 1 dBA change in ambient noise levels at the Green Hotel Apartments. As discussed above, as this increase would be less than 3 dBA, this increase in operational traffic would be inaudible to the nearby residents of the Hotel Green Apartments and impacts would be less than significant.
In addition, neither CEQA nor the City of Pasadena have thresholds specific to an increase in reflected noise as a result of a ‘canyon’ created by the Proposed Project and the existing buildings, and there are no studies or data to support this effect. As such, any further analysis would be speculative, and not required per CEQA Guidelines Section 15145 as an analysis need not engage in "sheer speculation" as to future environmental consequences.

7.11 EMERGENCY (FIRE DEPARTMENT) ACCESS
Several comments were submitted regarding the project having inadequate Fire Department access in case of emergencies. As discussed in the SCEA Environmental Checklist, Section 4.17, Transportation, the ingress and egress for the site have been evaluated by the PasDOT and found to be adequate for emergency access and/or access to nearby uses. The project does not involve the elimination of a throughroute, does not involve the narrowing of a roadway, and all proposed roadways, access roads and drive lanes meet the Pasadena Fire Department’s access standards. More specifically, commenters were concerned about access to the site from Dayton Street. In specific discussions with the Pasadena Fire Department regarding this specific street, it was confirmed that the Fire Department currently is able to use Dayton Street as a throughfare when that is the best route for responding (including being able to access the south side of the Castle Green if necessary), and the project will not impact such access at all. In addition, the change in traffic volumes on Dayton Street and Fair Oaks Avenue will not impact the Fire Department’s ability to provide adequate emergency access to the project site and Castle Green, and will not impact the Fire Department’s ability to utilize the Fire Station traffic signal on Fair Oaks Avenue south of the project site, which is controlled by Fire Department personnel to stop traffic, to provide emergency services to its service area. The above statements were confirmed by Pari Bagayee, Supervising Fire Plans Examiner, and Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal, Anthony James, Fire and Environmental Safety Division of the Pasadena Fire Department via personal communications on July 7, 2021 and October 15, 2021, respectively
Further, the Project must comply with all State and local Building, Fire and Safety Codes, and all Project plans will be subject to review and approval by the Public Works and the Transportation Departments, and the Building Division and Fire Department. Therefore, there would be no significant impacts related to inadequate emergency access.

7.12 RESPONSES TO TRANSPORTATION-RELATED COMMENTS
Several comments were submitted regarding the “Outside of CEQA” traffic analysis information that was included in the SCEA. The “Outside of CEQA” traffic analysis focuses on traffic congestion and automobile delay, which are not environmental impacts that may be addressed by CEQA, per SB 743. Therefore, the comments received in this regard are not relevant to the transportation analysis in the SCEA, which followed the City’s guidelines for addressing transportation impacts in CEQA documents consistent with SB 743.
Refer to the Agenda and supporting documentation presented at the November 3, 2014, City Council meeting for a detailed explanation about how the review of traffic impacts has changed since the EIR for the previous project was prepared, specifically the purpose of, and adopted guidelines for the “Outside of CEQA” traffic analysis.1314
Traffic Safety Response:
Several comments were received regarding the safety of street intersections in the vicinity of the project site, particularly the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue at Dayton Street. Comments were received specifically noting the geometry of the offset intersection at Fair Oaks Avenue and Dayton Street. It should be noted that offset intersections in and of themselves are not more inherently unsafe than standard fourlegged intersections. Every intersection has unique circumstances that can contribute to the intersection’s safety and crash potential. This project does not alter the geometry of the intersection.
In addition, the City of Pasadena Department of Transportation (DOT) went the extra step of analyzing the intersections of Fair Oaks Avenue at Dayton Street and Raymond Avenue at Dayton Street to determine if a traffic signal would be installed based on traffic signal warrants in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, taking into account the added traffic volumes and pedestrian volumes. The analyses included a review of the existing vehicular and pedestrian traffic volumes, projected traffic volumes, and safety records at the intersections. For Fair Oaks Avenue at Dayton Street, the existing traffic volume and projected traffic volume from the development at 86 S Fair Oaks Avenue did not meet any of the vehicular/pedestrian volume warrants. The intersection had four collisions in the past five years and therefore did not meet the warrant for a traffic signal based on crash history. For Raymond Avenue at Dayton Street, the existing traffic volume and projected traffic volume from the development at 86 S Fair Oaks Avenue did not meet any of the vehicular/pedestrian volume warrants. The intersection had no 13 The full City Council Agenda for November 3, 2014, including Item 15, NEW TRANSPORTATION

Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment January 2022 collisions in the past five years and therefore did not meet the crash warrant. Therefore, based on the projected traffic/pedestrian volumes and collision history, the intersections of Fair Oaks Avenue at Dayton Street and Raymond Avenue at Dayton Street do not warrant a traffic signal and do not present a potential public safety hazard.
DOT would not install a new marked crosswalk across Fair Oaks Avenue without a traffic signal. In addition to not meeting the signal warrants at the Fair Oaks Avenue at Dayton Street intersection, there are significant design issues for a signal because of the existing driveway, existing transit stop, and locations of the existing Fire Station signals south of the east leg of the intersection. With the high traffic volume and 35 miles per hour (mph) speed along Fair Oaks Avenue, pedestrians shall utilize the signalized Fair Oaks Avenue at Green Street intersection located approximately 250 feet from the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue at Dayton Street for a safer and protected crossing across Fair Oaks Avenue. Also, due to the high traffic volumes, street width, and conflict points along Fair Oaks Avenue, installation of bicycle lanes along Fair Oaks Avenue adjacent to the project is not recommended.

7.13 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE PROJECT APPLICANT Following the release of the SCEA for public review in March 2021, the Project Applicant provided additional clarifying exhibits. These exhibits are provided in this SCEA as informational items; they do not change any of the previous analysis or findings of the SCEA.
The height study exhibits (Figures 7.13-1a and 7.13-1b) demonstrate that the proposed project would be shorter than both the existing Green Hotel and Castle Green structures.
The distance study exhibits (Figures 7.13-2a and 7.13-2b) show the distances of the proposed project construction site to the existing buildings. This is relevant to the construction noise analysis; refer to Section
4.13, Noise, for a discussion of construction noise.
The shadow studies (Figures 7.13-3a and 7.13-3b) demonstrate the extent to which the existing buildings, particularly Hotel Green, would be shaded by the proposed project throughout the day on both the summer and winter solstices. As a reminder, Senate Bill 743, signed into law in September 2013, made several changes to CEQA for projects located in areas served by transit (i.e., TPAs). While the thrust of SB 743 addressed a major overhaul on how transportation impacts are evaluated under CEQA, it also limited the extent to which aesthetics and parking are defined as impacts under CEQA. Specifically, Section 21099 (d)(1) of the Public Resources Code (PRC) states that a project's aesthetic and parking impacts shall not be considered a significant impact on the environment if the project is located on an infill site within a transit priority area. As discussed in Section 2.0, Project Description, the project site is surrounded by existing development, thus qualifying the project site as an ‘infill’ site. In addition, the project consists of a mixeduse residential community. Further, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Del Mar L Line (formerly known as the Gold Line) Light Rail Station is located less than a quarter of a mile to the southeast of the project site along Raymond Avenue just north of Del Mar Boulevard and the Memorial Park Station is located less than a half mile to the northeast of the project site along Holly Street at the terminus of N. Arroyo Parkway. For these reasons, the proposed project qualifies for SB 743 exemption from aesthetic and parking impacts, and these exhibits related to shade/shadow are provided for informational purposes only.
The turn analysis study (Figure 7.13-4) demonstrates the ability of a single unit delivery truck to successfully access the loading lock bay of the proposed project.

APPENDIX A
INCORPORATION OF FEASIBLE MITIGATION MEASURES,
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, AND CRITERIA
FROM PRIOR APPLICABLE EIRS
Public Resources Code Section 21151.2 requires that a transit priority project incorporate all feasible mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria from prior applicable EIRs. The City has complied with PRC Section 21151.2 by reviewing all of the suggested mitigation measures in Connect SoCal (2020 – 2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy) and the City of Pasadena General Plan EIR for imposition on the project. The mitigation measures were not imposed if the project was found to be in substantial compliance with the mitigation measure as proposed or if the mitigation measures were found not to be relevant. If the project was not found to be in substantial compliance or the mitigation measure was found relevant, the City considered whether to use the mitigation measure or an equally effective City mitigation measure (including the mitigation measures developed for the SCEA prepared for the proposed project). The applicable mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria from the aforementioned documents are discussed in the tables below and are included in applicable technical sections of the Environmental Checklist portion of the SCEA.

through use of hardscape and softscape solutions.
Specific measures to be addressed include setback
buffers, landscaping, color, texture, signage, and
lighting criteria.
d) Design projects consistent with design guidelines of applicable general plans.
e) Require that sites are kept in a blight/nuisance-free condition. Remove blight or nuisances that
compromise visual character or visual quality of
project areas including graffiti abatement, trash
removal, landscape management, maintenance of
signage and billboards in good condition, and replace
compromised native vegetation and landscape.
f) Where sound walls are proposed, require sound wall
construction and design methods that account for
visual impacts as follows:
use transparent panels to preserve views
where sound walls would block views from

“Protected Trees,” “Landmark Trees,” or “Heritage
Trees,” obtain approval for encroachment or
removals through the appropriate entity, and develop
appropriate mitigation measures at that time, to
ensure that the trees are replaced. Mitigation trees
shall be locally collected native species, as directed
by a qualified biologist.
d) Appoint an ISA certified arborist to monitor
construction activities that may occur in areas with
trees are designated as “Protected Trees,”
“Landmark Trees,” or “Heritage Trees,” to facilitate
avoidance of resources not permitted for impact.
Before the start of any clearing, excavation,
construction or other work on the site, securely fence
off every protected tree deemed to be potentially
endangered by said site work. Keep such fences in
place for duration of all such work. Clearly mark all
trees to be removed.
e) Establish a scheme for the removal and disposal of
logs, brush, earth and other debris that will avoid
injury to any protected tree. Where proposed
development or other site work could encroach upon
the protected perimeter of any protected tree,
incorporate special measures to allow the roots to
breathe and obtain water and nutrients. Minimize any
excavation, cutting, filing, or compaction of the
existing ground surface within the protected

PMM CULT-1: In accordance with provisions of sections
15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should
consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to historical resources, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5,
conduct a record search during the project planning
phase at the appropriate Information Center to
determine whether the project area has been
previously surveyed and whether historical resources
were identified.
b) During the project planning phase, retain a qualified architectural historian, defined as an individual who
meets the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI)
Professional Qualification Standards (PQS) in
Architectural History, to conduct historic architectural surveys if a built environment resource greater than
45 years in age may be affected by the project or if
recommended by the Information Center.
c) Comply with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) including, but not limited
to, projects for which federal funding or approval is
required for the individual project. This law requires
federal agencies to evaluate the impact of their
actions on resources included in or eligible for listing in the National Register. Federal agencies must
coordinate with the State Historic Preservation
Officer in evaluating impacts and developing
mitigation. These mitigation measures may include,
but are not limited to the following:
Employ design measures to avoid
historical resources and undertake
adaptive reuse where appropriate and
feasible. If resources are to be preserved,
as feasible, carry out the maintenance,
repair, stabilization, rehabilitation,
restoration, preservation, conservation or
reconstruction in a manner consistent with
the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines
for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring,
and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. If
resources would be impacted, impacts
should be minimized to the extent
feasible.
Where feasible, noise buffers/walls and/or
visual buffers/landscaping should be
constructed to preserve the contextual
setting of significant built resources.
d) If a project requires the relocation, rehabilitation, or alteration of an eligible historical resource, the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the
Treatment of Historic Properties should be used to
the maximum extent possible to ensure the historical
significance of the resource is not impaired. The
The proposed project would not result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of the Old Pasadena Historic District or the Hotel Green/Castle Green or the building at 84 South Fair Oaks Avenue. Impacts on historical resources are less than significant and no mitigation measures are required. See Section 5, Cultural Resources, of the SCEA for further
information.
A. Applicable Mitigation Measures
Impact Sciences, Inc. A-18 Central Park Apartments
Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment September 2020 Project Level Mitigation Measure Applicability to the Project application of the standards should be overseen by
an architectural historian or historic architect
meeting the SOI PQS. Prior to any construction
activities that may affect the historical resource, a
report, meeting industry standards, should identify
and specify the treatment of character-defining
features and construction activities and be provided
to the Lead Agency for review and approval.
e) If a project would result in the demolition or
significant alteration of a historical resource eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP), California Register of Historical
Resources (CRHR), or local register, recordation
should take the form of Historic American Buildings
Survey (HABS), Historic American Engineering
Record (HAER), or Historic American Landscape
Survey (HALS) documentation, and should be
performed by an architectural historian or historian
who meets the SOI PQS. Recordation should meet
the SOI Standards and Guidelines for Architectural
and Engineering, which defines the products
acceptable for inclusion in the HABS/HAER/HALS
collection at the Library of Congress. The specific
scope and details of documentation should be
developed at the project level in coordination with
the Lead Agency.
f) During the project planning phase, obtain a qualified archaeologist, defined as one who meets the SOI
PQS for archaeology, to conduct a record search at
the appropriate Information Center of the California
Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) to
determine whether the project area has been
previously surveyed and whether resources were
identified.
g) Contact the NAHC to request a Sacred Lands File
search and a list of relevant Native American
contacts who may have additional information.
h) During the project planning phase, obtain a qualified archaeologist or architectural historian (depending
on applicability) to conduct archaeological and/or
historic architectural surveys as recommended by
the qualified professional, the Lead Agency, or the
Information Center. In the event the qualified
professional or Information Center will make a
recommendation on whether a survey is warranted
based on the sensitivity of the project area for
archaeological resources. Survey shall be
conducted where the records indicate that no
previous survey has been conducted, or if survey
has not been conducted within the past 10 years. If
tribal resources are identified during tribal outreach, consultation, or the record search, a Native
American representative traditionally affiliated with
the project area, as identified by the NAHC, shall be
given the opportunity to provide a representative or
monitor to assist with archaeological surveys.
i) If potentially significant archaeological resources are identified through survey, and impacts to these
resources cannot be avoided, a Phase II Testing
and Evaluation investigation should be performed by
a qualified archaeologist prior to any constructionrelated ground-disturbing activities to determine A. Applicable Mitigation Measures
Impact Sciences, Inc. A-19 Central Park Apartments
Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment September 2020 Project Level Mitigation Measure Applicability to the Project significance. If resources determined significant or
unique through Phase II testing, and avoidance is
not possible, appropriate resource-specific mitigation
measures should be established by the lead agency,
in consultation with consulting tribes, where
appropriate, and undertaken by qualified personnel.
These might include a Phase III data recovery
program implemented by a qualified archaeologist
and performed in accordance with the OHP’s
Archaeological Resource Management Reports
(ARMR): Recommended Contents and Format and
Guidelines for Archaeological Research Designs.
Additional options can include 1) interpretative
signage, or 2) educational outreach that helps inform
the public of the past activities that occurred in this area. Should the project require extended Phase I
testing, Phase II evaluation, or Phase III data
recovery, a Native American representative
traditionally affiliated with the project area, as
indicated by the NAHC, shall be given the
opportunity to provide a representative or monitor to
assist with the archaeological assessments. The
long-term disposition of archaeological materials
collected from a significant resource should be
determined in consultation with the affiliated tribe(s), where relevant; this could include curation with a
recognized scientific or educational repository,
transfer to the tribe, or respectful reinternment in an area designated by the tribe.
j) In cases where the project area is developed and no
natural ground surface is exposed, sensitivity for
subsurface resources should be assessed based on
review of literature, geology, site development
history, and consultation with tribal parties. If this
archaeological desktop assessment indicates that
the project is located in an area sensitive for
archaeological resources, as determined by the
Lead Agency in consultation with a qualified
archaeologist, the project should retain an
archaeological monitor and, in the case of sensitivity
for tribal resources, a tribal monitor, to observe
ground disturbing operations, including but not
limited to grading, excavation, trenching, or removal
of existing features of the subject property. The
archaeological monitor should be supervised by an
archaeologist meeting the SOI PQS
k) Conduct construction activities and excavation to
avoid cultural resources (if identified). If avoidance is not feasible, further work may be needed to
determine the importance of a resource. Retain a
qualified archaeologist, and/or as appropriate, a
qualified architectural historian who should make
recommendations regarding the work necessary to
assess significance. If the cultural resource is
determined to be significant under state or federal
guidelines, impacts to the cultural resource will need
to be mitigated.
l) Stop construction activities and excavation in the
area where cultural resources are found until a
qualified archaeologist can determine whether these
resources are significant, and tribal consultation can
be conducted, in the case of tribal resources. If the
A. Applicable Mitigation Measures
Impact Sciences, Inc. A-20 Central Park Apartments
Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment September 2020 Project Level Mitigation Measure Applicability to the Project archaeologist determines that the discovery is
significant, its long-term disposition should be
determined in consultation with the affiliated tribe(s); this could include curation with a recognized
scientific or educational repository, transfer to the
tribe, or respectful reinternment in an area
designated by the tribe.
PMM CULT-2: In accordance with provisions of sections
15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should
consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to human remains, as applicable and feasible.
Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) In the event of discovery or recognition of any human remains during construction or excavation activities
associated with the project, in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, cease further excavation or
disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably
suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until
the coroner of the county in which the remains are
discovered has been informed and has determined
that no investigation of the cause of death is required. b) If any discovered remains are of Native American
origin, as determined by the county Coroner, an
experienced osteologist, or another qualified
professional:
Contact the County Coroner to contact the
NAHC to designate a Native American
Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD
should make a recommendation to the
landowner or the person responsible for
the excavation work, for means of treating
or disposing of, with appropriate dignity,
the human remains and any associated
grave goods. This may include obtaining a
qualified archaeologist or team of
archaeologists to properly excavate the
human remains. In some cases, it is
necessary for the Lead Agency, qualified
archaeologist, or developer to also reach
out to the NAHC to coordinate and ensure
notification in the event the Coroner is not
available.
If the NAHC is unable to identify a MLD, or
the MLD fails to make a recommendation
within 48 hours after being notified by the
commission, or the landowner or his
representative rejects the
recommendation of the MLD and the
mediation by the NAHC fails to provide
measures acceptable to the landowner,
obtain a culturally affiliated Native
American monitor, and an archaeologist, if
recommended by the Native American
monitor, and rebury the Native American
human remains and any associated grave
goods, with appropriate dignity, on the
property and in a location that is not
subject to further subsurface disturbance.
There are no known human remains on the site. The project site is not part of a formal cemetery and is not known to have been used for disposal of historic or prehistoric human remains. Thus, human remains are not expected to be
encountered during construction of the proposed project. In the unlikely event that human remains are encountered during project construction, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires the project to halt until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to the origin and
disposition of the remains pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. Compliance with these regulations would ensure the proposed project would satisfy applicable
requirements of this mitigation measure.

consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to historical resources, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Consistent with the CBC and local regulatory
agencies with oversight of development associated
with the Plan, ensure that site-specific geotechnical
investigations conducted by a qualified geotechnical
expert are conducted to ascertain soil types prior to
preparation of project designs. These investigations
can and should identify areas of potential failure and
recommend remedial geotechnical measures to
eliminate any problems.
b) Consistent with the requirements of the State Water
Resources Control Board (SWRCB) for projects over
one acre in size, obtain coverage under the General
Construction Activity Storm Water Permit (General
Construction Permit) issued by the SWRCB and
prepare a stormwater pollution prevention plan
(SWPPP) and submit the plan for review and
approval by the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB). At a minimum, the SWPPP should include
a description of construction materials, practices, and equipment storage and maintenance; a list of
pollutants likely to contact stormwater; site-specific
erosion and sedimentation control practices; a list of
provisions to eliminate or reduce discharge of
materials to stormwater; best management practices
(BMPs); and an inspection and monitoring program.
c) Consistent with the requirements of the SWRCB and
local regulatory agencies with oversight of
development associated with the Plan, ensure that
project designs provide adequate slope drainage and
appropriate landscaping to minimize the occurrence
of slope instability and erosion. Design features
should include measures to reduce erosion caused
by storm water. Road cuts should be designed to
maximize the potential for revegetation.
d) Consistent with the CBC and local regulatory
agencies with oversight of development associated
with the Plan, ensure that, prior to preparing project
designs, new and abandoned wells are identified
within construction areas to ensure the stability of
nearby soils.
As analyzed and concluded in Section 7, Geology and Soils, of the SCEA, the project does not have the potential for
significant effects related to the exposure of people and infrastructure to the effects of earthquakes, seismic related ground-failure, liquefaction, and seismically induced
landslides. The proposed project is not located adjacent to an active fault and is not in within an area subject to risk of liquefaction, landslide, or unstable or expansive soil. Further, the proposed project already complies to this Mitigation Measure as it is subject to the building construction protocols for reducing seismic hazards as provided in the Pasadena Municipal Code. Compliance would help avoid or reduce the potentially significant effects on the potential for projects to result in the exposure of people and infrastructure to the effects of earthquakes, seismic related ground-failure, liquefaction, and seismically induced landslides, that are in the jurisdiction and responsibility of public agencies, regulatory agencies, and/or Lead Agencies. The proposed project would also comply with all seismic standards provided in the
California Building Code as approved as approved by the Department of Building and Safety.
PMM GEO-2: In accordance with provisions of sections
15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA

b) Obtain review by a qualified paleontologist (e.g. who meets the SVP standards for a Principal Investigator
or Project Paleontologist or the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) standards for a Principal
Investigator), to determine if the project has the
potential to require ground disturbance of parent
material with potential to contain unique
paleontological or resources, or to require the
substantial alteration of a unique geologic feature.
The assessment should include museum records
searches, a review of geologic mapping and the
scientific literature, geotechnical studies (if available), and potentially a pedestrian survey, if units with
paleontological potential are present at the surface.
c) Avoid exposure or displacement of parent material
with potential to yield unique paleontological
resources.
d) Where avoidance of parent material with the
potential to yield unique paleontological resources is
not feasible:

15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should
consider mitigation measures capable of avoiding or reducing the potential impacts of locating structures that would impede or redirect flood flows, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable
measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Ensure that all roadbeds for new highway and rail
facilities be elevated at least one foot above the 100- year base flood elevation. Since alluvial fan flooding
is not often identified on FEMA flood maps, the risk
of alluvial fan flooding should be evaluated and
projects should be sited to avoid alluvial fan flooding.
Delineation of floodplains and alluvial fan boundaries
should attempt to account for future hydrologic
changes caused by global climate change.
The proposed project would not substantially change the site’s drainage patterns and would not alter a discernable drainage course resulting in flooding. The proposed project would be required to submit a drainage plan to the Building Division and the Department of Public Works for review and approval.
Compliance with the City’s drainage plan review and approval process would reduce the likelihood that the proposed project would lead to on-site or off-site flooding. This mitigation measure is not applicable.

Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should
consider mitigation measures to reduce the use of mineral resources that could be of value to the region, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Provide for the efficient use of known aggregate and mineral resources or locally important mineral
resource recovery sites, by ensuring that the
consumptive use of aggregate resources is
minimized and that access to recoverable sources of
aggregate is not precluded, as a result of
construction, operation and maintenance of projects.
b) Where avoidance is infeasible, minimize impacts to
the efficient and effective use of recoverable sources
of aggregate through measures that have been
identified in county and city general plans, or other
comparable measures such as:
1) Recycle and reuse building materials
resulting from demolition, particularly
aggregate resources, to the maximum
extent practicable.
2) Identify and use building materials,
particularly aggregate materials, resulting
from demolition at other construction sites
in the SCAG region, or within a
reasonable hauling distance of the project
site.
3) Design transportation network
improvements in a manner (such as buffer
zones or the use of screening) that does
not preclude adjacent or nearby extraction
of known mineral and aggregate
resources following completion of the
improvement and during long-term
operations.
4) Avoid or reduce impacts on known
aggregate and mineral resources and
mineral resource recovery sites through
the evaluation and selection of project
sites and design features (e.g., buffers)
that minimize impacts on land suitable for
aggregate and mineral resource extraction
by maintaining portions of MRZ-2 areas in
open space or other general plan land use
categories and zoning that allow for
mining of mineral resources.
No active mining operations exist in the City of Pasadena. The project site is not within any of the areas designated by the City of Pasadena that may contain mineral resources. No active mining operations exist in the City of Pasadena and mining is not currently allowed within any of the City’s designated land uses. This mitigation measure is not

include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Install temporary noise barriers during construction. b) Include permanent noise barriers and soundattenuating features as part of the project design.
Barriers could be in the form of outdoor barriers,
sound walls, buildings, or earth berms to attenuate
noise at adjacent sensitive uses.
c) Schedule construction activities consistent with the allowable hours pursuant to applicable general plan
noise element or noise ordinance
d) Post procedures and phone numbers at the
construction site for notifying the Lead Agency staff,
local Police Department, and construction contractor
(during regular construction hours and off-hours),
along with permitted construction days and hours,
complaint procedures, and who to notify in the event
of a problem.
e) Notify neighbors and occupants within 300 feet of the project construction area at least 30 days in advance
of anticipated times when noise levels are expected
to exceed limits established in the noise element of
the general plan or noise ordinance.
f) Designate an on-site construction complaint and
enforcement manager for the project.
g) Ensure that construction equipment are properly
maintained per manufacturers’ specifications and
fitted with the best available noise suppression
devices (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment
redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine
enclosures, and acoustically attenuating shields or
shrouds silencers, wraps). All intake and exhaust
ports on power equipment shall be muffled or
shielded.
h) Use hydraulically or electrically powered tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and rock drills) for
project construction to avoid noise associated with
compressed air exhaust from pneumatically powered
tools. However, where use of pneumatic tools is
unavoidable, an exhaust muffler on the compressed
air exhaust should be used; this muffler can lower
noise levels from the exhaust by up to about 10 dBA.
External jackets on the tools themselves should be
used, if such jackets are commercially available, and
this could achieve a further reduction of 5 dBA.
Quieter procedures should be used, such as drills
rather than impact equipment, whenever such
procedures are available and consistent with
construction procedures.
i) Where feasible, design projects so that they are
depressed below the grade of the existing noisesensitive receptor, creating an effective barrier between the roadway and sensitive receptors.
j) Where feasible, improve the acoustical insulation of There would be no significant noise impacts associated with the proposed project, therefore this Mitigation Measure is not applicable. The proposed project is subject to the following regulatory compliance measures that avoid or reduce the significant effects of noise impacts that are in the jurisdiction and responsibility of public agencies and/or Lead Agencies:
The project must comply with the City of Pasadena Noise Ordinance (Chapter 9.36 of the Pasadena Municipal Code) which establishes exterior noise standards by land use and the maximum duration of time that the noise standards may be exceeded without being considered a nuisance punishable by law.

k) Using rubberized asphalt or “quiet pavement” to
reduce road noise for new roadway segments,
roadways in which widening or other modifications
require re-pavement, or normal reconstruction of
roadways where re-pavement is planned
l) Projects that require pile driving or other construction noise above 90 dBA in proximity to sensitive
receptors, should reduce potential pier drilling, pile
driving and/or other extreme noise generating
construction impacts greater than 90 dBA; a set of
site-specific noise attenuation measures should be
completed under the supervision of a qualified
acoustical consultant.
m) Use land use planning measures, such as zoning,
restrictions on development, site design, and buffers
to ensure that future development is compatible with
adjacent transportation facilities and land uses;
n) Monitor the effectiveness of noise reduction
measures by taking noise measurements and
installing adaptive mitigation measures to achieve the
standards for ambient noise levels established by the
noise element of the general plan or noise ordinance.
o) Use equipment and trucks with the best available
noise control techniques (e.g., improved mufflers,
equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts,
engine enclosures, and acoustically attenuating
shields or shrouds, wherever feasible) for project
construction.
p) Stationary noise sources can and should be located
as far from adjacent sensitive receptors as possible
and they should be muffled and enclosed within
temporary sheds, incorporate insulation barriers, or
use other measures as determined by the Lead
Agency (or other appropriate government agency) to
provide equivalent noise reduction.
q) Use of portable barriers in the vicinity of sensitive receptors during construction.
r) Implement noise control at the receivers by
temporarily improving the noise reduction capability
of adjacent buildings (for instance by the use of sound blankets), and implement if such measures are
feasible and would noticeably reduce noise impacts.
s) Monitor the effectiveness of noise attenuation
measures by taking noise measurements.
t) Maximize the distance between noise-sensitive land
uses and new roadway lanes, roadways, rail lines,
transit centers, park-and-ride lots, and other new
noise-generating facilities.
u) Construct sound reducing barriers between noise
sources and noise-sensitive land uses.
v) Stationary noise sources can and should be located
as far from adjacent sensitive receptors as possible

15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should
consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to vibration, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable
measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) For projects that require pile driving or other
construction techniques that result in excessive
vibration, such as blasting, determine the potential
vibration impacts to the structural integrity of the
adjacent buildings within 50 feet of pile driving
locations.
b) For projects that require pile driving or other
construction techniques that result in excessive
vibration, such as blasting, determine the threshold
levels of vibration and cracking that could damage
adjacent historic or other structure, and design means
and construction methods to not exceed the
thresholds.
c) For projects where pile driving would be necessary
for construction due to geological conditions, utilize
quiet pile driving techniques such as predrilling the
piles to the maximum feasible depth, where feasible.
Predrilling pile holes will reduce the number of blows
required to completely seat the pile and will
concentrate the pile driving activity closer to the
ground where pile driving noise can be shielded more
effectively by a noise barrier/curtain.
d) Restrict construction activities to permitted hours in accordance with local jurisdiction regulation.
e) Properly maintain construction equipment and outfit
construction equipment with the best available noise
suppression devices (e.g., mufflers, silences, wraps).
f) Prohibit idling of construction equipment for
extended periods of time in the vicinity of sensitive
receptors.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI-1 and NOI-2,
listed in Section 13, Noise, of the SCEA, would reduce
potential vibration impacts during project construction to a less than significant level. These mitigation measures are

Public Services
PMM PSP-1: In accordance with provisions of sections
15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA
Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should
consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects of constructing new emergency response facilities, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the
following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
• Coordinate with emergency response agencies to
ensure that there are adequate governmental
facilities to maintain acceptable service ratios,
response times or other performance objectives for
emergency response services and that any required
additional construction of buildings is incorporated in to the project description.
• Where current levels of services at the project site are found to be inadequate, provide fair share
contributions towards infrastructure improvements,
as appropriate and applicable, to mitigate identified
CEQA impacts.
• Project sponsors can and should develop traffic
control plans for individual projects. Traffic control
plans should include information on lane closures
and the anticipated flow of traffic during the
construction period. The basic objective of each
traffic control plan (TCP) is to permit the contractor
to work within the public right of way efficiently and
effectively while maintaining a safe, uniform flow of
traffic. The construction work and the public traveling through the work zone in vehicles, bicycles or as
pedestrians must be given equal consideration when
developing a traffic control plan.
This mitigation measure is not applicable to the project as the proposed project would not require the construction or
alteration of emergency response facilities. See Section 15, Public Services, of the SCEA for further information.

Planning Process: A Desk Reference (August 2012)
into the planning process (FHWA 2012). For
example, the following strategies may be included to
encourage use of transit and non-motorized modes
of transportation and reduce vehicle miles traveled
on the region’s roadways:
include TDM mitigation requirements for
new developments;
incorporate supporting infrastructure for
non-motorized modes, such as, bike
lanes, secure bike parking, sidewalks, and
crosswalks;
provide incentives to use alternative
modes and reduce driving, such as,
universal transit passes, road and parking
pricing;
implement parking management
programs, such as parking cash-out,
priority parking for carpools and vanpools;
develop TDM-specific performance
measures to evaluate project-specific and
system-wide performance;
incorporate TDM performance measures
in the decision-making process for
identifying transportation investments;
implement data collection programs for
TDM to determine the effectiveness of
certain strategies and to measure success
over time; and
set aside funding for TDM initiatives.
The increase in per capita VMT on
facilities experiencing LOS F represents a
significant impact compared to existing
conditions. To assess whether
implementation of these specific mitigation
strategies would result in measurable
traffic congestion reductions,
implementing actions may need to be
further refined within the overall
parameters of the proposed Plan and
matched to local conditions in any
subsequent project-level environmental
analysis.

If avoidance of all significant impacts to sensitive or protected biological resources is not feasible, the project shall implement Mitigation Measure 3-4.
Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project as the project site does not
contain any critical habitat or support any
species identified or designated as a candidate,
sensitive, or special status species in local or
regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. The project site is
located in an urbanized area of the City and is
not identified as a vegetation zone that could
serve as species’ habitat. The project would
also comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
which governs the taking, killing, possession,
transportation, and importation of migratory
birds, their eggs, parts, and nests.
3.4. The City of Pasadena shall require applicants to design development projects to minimize potential impacts to sensitive or protected biological resources to the greatest extent feasible, in consultation with a qualified biologist and/or appropriate regulatory agency staff. Minimization measures may include 1) exclusion and/or silt fencing, 2) relocation of impacted resources, 3) construction monitoring by a qualified biologist, and 4) an informative training program conducted by a qualified biologist for construction personnel on sensitive biological resources that may be impacted by project construction. If minimization of all significant impacts to sensitive or protected biological resources is infeasible, the project shall implement Mitigation Measure 3-5.
This Mitigation Measure is not applicable to the
proposed project as the project is located in a
developed urban area and does not involve the
dispersal of wildlife nor would the project result
in a barrier to migration or movement. This
Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project as the project site does not
contain any critical habitat or support any
species identified or designated as a candidate,
sensitive, or special status species in local or
regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the
California Department of Fish and Game or U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. The project site is
located in an urbanized area of the City and is
not identified as a vegetation zone that could
serve as species’ habitat. The project would
also comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
which governs the taking, killing, possession,
transportation, and importation of migratory
birds, their eggs, parts, and nests.
3.5. A qualified biologist will develop appropriate mitigations that will reduce project impacts to sensitive or protected biological resources to a less than significant level, if feasible. The type and amount of mitigation will depend on the resources impacted, the extent of the impacts, and the quality of habitats to be impacted. Mitigations may include, but are not limited to: 1) compensation for lost habitat or waters in the form of preservation or creation of in-kind habitat or waters, either onsite or offsite, protected by conservation easement; 2) purchase of appropriate credits from an approved mitigation bank servicing the Pasadena area; and 3) payment of in-lieu fees.
This Mitigation Measure is not applicable to the
proposed project as the project is located in a
developed urban area and does not involve the
dispersal of wildlife nor would the project result
in a barrier to migration or movement. This
Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project as the project site does not
contain any critical habitat or support any
species identified or designated as a candidate,
sensitive, or special status species in local or

Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment September 2020 Cultural Resources
4.1. If cultural resources are discovered during construction of land development projects in Pasadena that may be eligible for listing in the California Register for Historic Resources, all ground disturbing activities in the immediate vicinity of the find shall be halted until the find is evaluated by a Registered Professional Archaeologist. If testing determines that significance criteria are met, then the project shall be required to perform data recovery, professional identification, radiocarbon dates as applicable, and other special studies; and provide a comprehensive final report including site record to the City and the South Central Coastal Information Center at California State University Fullerton. No further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until Planning Department approves the report.
The proposed project would not result in a
substantial adverse change in the significance
of the Old Pasadena Historic District or the
Hotel Green/Castle Green or the building at 84
South Fair Oaks Avenue. Impacts on historical
resources are less than significant and no
mitigation measures are required. See Section
5, Cultural Resources, of the SCEA for further
information.
4.2. The City shall require applicants for development permits that involve grading in areas within the paleontologically sensitive Topanga formation (see Figure 5.4-2 of the DEIR) to provide studies by a qualified paleontologist assessing the sensitivity of the project for buried paleontological resources.
On properties determined to be moderately to highly sensitive for paleontological resources, such studies shall provide a detailed mitigation plan, including a monitoring program and recovery and/or in situ preservation plan, based on the recommendations of a qualified paleontologist. The mitigation plan shall include the following requirements:
• A paleontologist shall be retained for the project and will be on call during grading and other significant ground-disturbing activities more than six feet below the ground surface.
• Should any potentially significant fossil resources be discovered, no further grading shall occur in the area of the discovery until the Planning and Community Development Director concurs in writing that adequate provisions are in place to protect any significant resources. Work may continue outside a minimum radius of 25 feet from the discovery pending review by the Director.
• Unanticipated discoveries shall be evaluated for significance by a qualified paleontologist. If evaluation determines that significance criteria are met, then the project shall be required to perform data recovery, professional identification, radiocarbon dates as applicable, and other special studies; and provide a comprehensive final report, including catalog with museum numbers.
This Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project is not located within the
Topanga formation , as shown on Figure 5.4-2
of the City’s General Plan EIR.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
5.1. Within approximately 18 months of adoption of the proposed General Plan Update, the City of Pasadena shall prepare and present to the City Council for adoption a community climate action plan/greenhouse gas reduction plan (Plan). The Plan shall identify strategies to be implemented to reduce GHG emissions associated with the City, and shall include as one alternative a program that achieves the AB 32 targets. In addition, the City shall monitor GHG emissions by updating its community-wide GHG emissions inventory every five years upon adoption of the initial Plan. Upon the next update to the Plan, the inventory, GHG reduction measures, and GHG reductions shall be forecast to year 2035 to ensure progress toward achieving the interim target that aligns with the longterm GHG reduction goals of Executive Order S-03-04. The Plan update shall take into account the reductions achievable from federal and state actions and measures as well as ongoing work by the City and the private sector. The 2035 Plan update shall be completed by January 1, 2021, with a plan to achieve GHG reductions for 2035 or 2040, provided the state has an actual plan to achieve reductions for 2035 or 2040. New reduction programs in similar sectors as the proposed Plan (building energy, transportation, waste, water, wastewater, agriculture, and others) will likely be necessary. Future targets shall be considered in alignment with state reduction targets, to the maximum extent feasible, but it is premature at this time to determine whether or not such targets can be feasibly met through the combination of federal, state, and local action given technical, logistical and financial constraints. Future updates to the Plan shall account for the horizon beyond 2035 as the state This Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project as the development of a
community action plan/greenhouse reduction
plan is a City-directed measure and is under
City jurisdiction. It is not applicable at the project
level. Furthermore, impacts regarding the
generation of greenhouse gas emissions were
analyzed in Section 8, Greenhouse Gas
Emissions, in the SCEA. The proposed project
would be consistent with the Pasadena Climate
Action Plan by incorporating applicable actions
intended to ensure that the project contributes
its fair share to the City’s cumulative GHG
reduction goals. The project would have a less
than significant GHG impact and therefore
mitigation is not required.
A. Applicable Mitigation Measures
Impact Sciences, Inc. A-50 Central Park Apartments
Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment September 2020 adopts actual plans to meet post-2035 targets. In all instances, the Plan and any updates shall be consistent with state and federal law Noise
9.1. Prior to issuance of building and occupancy permits, applicants of industrial projects that involve vibration-intensive machinery or activities adjacent to sensitive receptors shall prepare a study to evaluate potential vibration impacts. The study shall prepared by an acoustical engineer and be submitted to the City of Pasadena Planning Division. The study shall evaluate the vibration levels associated with operation of project-related equipment and activities experienced by nearby sensitive receptors. If it is determined that vibration impacts to nearby receptors exceed the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) vibration-annoyance criterion, the study shall recommend and the applicant shall implement the identified measures with the purpose of reducing vibration impacts to a less than significant level. The City of Pasadena shall verify implementation of all identified measures.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI-1
and NOI-2, listed in Section 13, Noise, of the
SCEA, would reduce potential vibration impacts
during project construction to a less than
significant level.
9.2. Prior to issuance of building permits for the new construction of habitable area, applicants for development projects shall adhere to the appropriate Vibration Category 2 and Vibration Category 3 screening distances for light rail transit as recommended in Table 9- 2 of the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment (FTA 2006) in evaluating vibration impacts related to trains on the Metro Gold Line.
Applicants for development projects that fall within the screening distances shall prepare and submit to the City of Pasadena Planning Division a study evaluating vibration impacts to the proposed development from train operations. The study shall be prepared by an acoustical engineer who shall identify measures to reduce impacts to habitable structures to below the FTA vibration annoyance criterion. The identified measures shall be incorporated into all design plans submitted to the City of Pasadena.
This Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project since the project site would not
be within the FTA screening distances for light
rail transit. FTA recommended screening
distance for light rail transit in relation to
residential uses is 150 feet between the rail
tracks and the property line. The nearest station
is approximately one-quarter mile and therefore,
the proposed project would be outside of the
appropriate screening distances for light rail
transit and would not be affected by vibration
impacts from train operations.
9.3. Prior to issuance of any grading and construction permits, applicants for individual projects that involve vibration-intensive construction activities, such as pile drivers, jack hammers, and vibratory rollers, within 25 feet of sensitive receptors (e.g., residences and historic structures) shall prepare and submit to the City of Pasadena Planning Division a study to evaluate potential construction-related vibration impacts. The study shall be prepared by an acoustical engineer and shall identify measures to reduce impacts to habitable structures to below the FTA vibration annoyance criterion. If construction-related vibration is determined to be perceptible at vibrationsensitive uses, additional requirements, such as use of less-vibrationintensive equipment or construction technique, shall be implemented during construction (e.g., drilled piles, static rollers, and nonexplosive rock blasting).
Identified measures shall be included on all construction and building documents and submitted for verification to the City of Pasadena Planning Division.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI-1
and NOI-2, listed in Section 13, Noise, of the
SCEA, would reduce potential vibration impacts
during project construction to a less than
significant level.
9.4. Prior to issuance of any construction permits, applicants for individual projects that involve vibration-intensive construction activities, such as pile drivers, jack hammers, bulldozers, and vibratory rollers, within 25 feet of sensitive receptors (e.g., residences) or 50 feet of historic structures, shall prepare and submit to the City of Pasadena Planning Division a study to evaluate potential construction-related vibration impacts. The vibration assessment shall be prepared by an acoustical engineer and be based on the FTA vibration-induced architectural damage criterion. If the study determines a potential exceedance of the FTA thresholds, measures shall be identified that ensure vibration levels are reduced to below the thresholds.
Measures to reduce vibration levels can include use of less-vibrationintensive equipment (e.g., drilled piles and static rollers) and/or construction techniques (e.g., nonexplosive rock blasting and use of hand tools) and preparation of a preconstruction survey report to assess the condition of the affected sensitive structure. Notwithstanding the above, pile drivers shall not be allowed within 150 feet of any historic structures. Identified measures shall be included on all construction and building documents and submitted for verification to the City of Pasadena Planning Division.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures NOI-1
and NOI-2, listed in Section 13, Noise, of the
SCEA, would reduce potential vibration impacts
during project construction to a less than
significant level.
A. Applicable Mitigation Measures
Impact Sciences, Inc. A-51 Central Park Apartments
Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment September 2020 Prior to issuance of construction permits, applicants for new development projects within 500 feet of noise-sensitive receptors shall implement the following best management practices to reduce construction noise levels:
• Consider the installation of temporary sound barriers for construction activities immediately adjacent to occupied noisesensitive structures. • Equip construction equipment with mufflers.
• Restrict haul routes and construction-related traffic. • Reduce nonessential idling of construction equipment to no more than five minutes
The identified best management practices shall be noted on all site plans and/or construction management plans and submitted for verification to the City of Pasadena Planning Division.
The project would comply with this measure as
noise levels from construction equipment would
comply to PMC Section 9.36, which restricts
noise from construction equipment to 85 dBA,
and limits hours of operation.
Transportation
13.1. The City of Pasadena shall update its existing transportation impact fee program by 2020. The City shall prepare a “Nexus” Study that will serve as the basis for requiring development impact fees under AB 1600 legislation, as codified by California Code Government Section 66000 et seq. The established procedures under AB 1600 require that a “reasonable relationship” or nexus exist between the traffic improvements and facilities required to mitigate the traffic impacts of new development pursuant to the proposed project. After approval of the Nexus Study, the City shall update the transportation impact fee program to fund all citywide circulation improvements, including the pedestrian and bicycle network. The fee program shall stipulate that fees are assessed when there is new construction or when there is an increase in square footage within an existing building or the conversion of existing square footage to a more intensive use.
Fees are calculated by multiplying the proposed square footage or dwelling unit by the rate identified. The fees are included with any other applicable fees payable at the time the building permit is issued. The City will use the development fees to fund construction (or to recoup fees advanced to fund construction).
This Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project as updating the City’s
transportation impact fee program is a City
directed measure and is under City jurisdiction.
It is not applicable at the project level.

Aesthetics
The following mitigation measure will be applied at the individual project level to avoid potential new light and glare effects.
1. For development proposals subject to environmental review and/or design review, the City will examine potential light and glare effects associated with structures and on-site activities, and will ensure that features are incorporated into projects to avoid any adverse light and glare impacts.
2. The Zoning Code will limit the use of reflective and glare-producing building materials.
3. The Zoning Code will require that all nighttime lighting be focused down onto the site and not onto adjacent properties.
4. The City will establish a program to encourage the use of low wattage bulbs in nighttime lighting by offering an incentive that discounting the cost of energy- conserving nighttime lighting.
This Mitigation Measure is not relevant to the
proposed project as Public Resources Code
Section 21099, enacted by Senate Bill 743,
provides that “aesthetic and parking impacts of
a residential, mixed-use residential, or
employment center project on an infill site within
a transit priority area shall not be considered
significant impacts on the environment.”
The project site is located in an urbanized area
within the City of Pasadena. The proposed
project is a 6-story plus mezzanine transitoriented mixed-use development that includes retail, restaurants, and work/live units at the
ground level and mixed-rate apartment units on
levels 2-6. The project site is located less than
one-quarter mile from the Metro Del Mar L Line
(formerly Gold Line) station and less than onehalf a mile to the Memorial Park Station.
Therefore, the proposed project is located in a
transit priority area as defined in Public
Resources Code Section 21099. The proposed

considered significant impacts on the
environment pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 21099.
Air Quality
At the individual development project level, the City will apply the following mitigation measures which will work toward regional emissions reductions:
The City will encourage the incorporation of energy conservation techniques (i.e. installation of energy saving devices, construction of electric vehicle charging stations, use of sunlight-filtering window coatings or double-paned windows, utilization of light-colored roofing materials as opposed to darkcolored roofing materials, and placement of shady trees next to habitable structures) in new developments.
The proposed project is subject to the South
Coast Air Quality Management District
(SCAQMD) rules and regulations mentioned in
Section 3, Air Quality of the SCEA. Upon
compliance, the project would satisfy the
applicable requirements of this mitigation
measure.
The projects impacts to Air Quality were
analyzed in Section 3, Air Quality, of the SCEA
and were found to be less than significant and
the project would not require any mitigation
measures for this impact.
Noise
1. If a 15-20 dBA reduction is needed, the following shall be included in development projects as directed by the Building Official:
• Air conditioning or a mechanical ventilation system
• Windows and sliding glass doors should be double-paned glass and mounted in low air infiltration rate frames (0.5 cfm or less, per American National Standard Institute [ANSI] specifications) • Solid core exterior doors with perimeter weather stripping and threshold seals
2. If a 20-25 dBA reduction is needed, the following shall be included in development projects as directed by the Building Official:
• Same as No. 1(a) – (c)
• Exterior walls consist of stucco or brick veneer. Wood siding with a 1/2” minimum thickness fiberboard underlayer may also be used • Glass in both windows and doors should not exceed 20% of the floor area in a room
• Roof or attic vents facing the noise source should be baffled
3. If a 25-30 dBA reduction is needed, the following shall be included in development projects as directed by the Building Official:
• Same as No. 2(a) – (d)
• The interior sheetrock of exterior wall assemblies should be attached to studs by resilient channels. Staggered studs or double walls are acceptable alternatives
• Window assemblies should have a laboratory-tested STC rating of 30 or greater (Windows that provide superior noise reduction capability and that are laboratory-tested are sometimes called “sound-rated” windows. In general, these windows have thicker glass and/or increased air space between panes. In contrast, standard energy conservation double-pane glazing with a 1/8” or 1/4” air space may be less effective in reducing noise from some noise sources than single pane glazing).
This proposed project is not anticipated to have
a significant noise impact and therefore would
not require noise mitigation for nearby
receptors.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This study describes the existing air quality of the proposed mixed-use development at 86 S. Fair Oaks Avenue, and evaluates the potential air quality impacts. This report has been prepared by Impact Sciences, Inc., under contract to the City of Pasadena, in support of the environmental documentation being prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This analysis considers both the temporary air quality impacts that would result from project construction and the long-term impacts associated with the operation of the project.
1.1 Project Location
The 86 S. Fair Oaks Avenue project site in the City of Pasadena is bounded by S. Fair Oaks Avenue to the west, Dayton Street to the south, Castle Green to the east, and the Green Hotel Apartments to the north.
The Project site is located within the boundaries of the Old Pasadena National Register Historic District and the Hotel Green National Register listing. Major transportation facilities in the vicinity of the proposed project site include the Del Mar Metro Gold Line Station located 800 feet from the site and the Memorial Park Metro Gold Line Station located 0.4 miles from the site.
1.2 Project Description
The proposed project is a 6-story plus mezzanine transit-oriented mixed-use development that includes retail, restaurants, and work/live units at the ground level and mixed-rate apartment units on levels 2-6.
Along Fair Oaks Avenue, the ground floor of the proposed building includes approximately 6,200 square feet of retail and food uses. Four work/live units, approximately 1,300 square feet each, are proposed in the ground floor along Dayton Street, facing Central Park. The proposed project contains 84 apartment units (24 studios, 37 one-bedroom flats, three (3) one-bedroom townhouses, 18 two-bedroom flats, and two (2) two-bedroom townhouses), including eight (8) on-site residences for very low-income residents. All parking for the proposed project would be located in four (4) levels of underground parking that accommodate 195 parking spaces, including replacement of existing parking spaces for the adjacent Green Hotel Apartments, which currently utilizes the surface parking located on the project site.
The proposed project would include amenity space for project residents, including a swimming pool and spa with cabana and changing rooms, gym, lounge and multiple roof decks/terraces.
The proposed project would provide 16,231 sf of open space, which would be divided between approximately 12,037 sf of hardscape and 4,194 sf of landscape (softscape). Landscaping for the proposed project would include native and adaptive species that are drought tolerant. The proposed project would include 38 new trees, including one 96” box tree, 10 - 60” box trees, 21 - 24” box trees and 6 – 36” box trees.

2.0 AIR QUALITY
2.1 Air Quality Setting
South Coast Air Basin
South Coast Air Basin Characteristics
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) divides the state into air basins that share similar meteorological and topographical features. The City of Pasadena is located within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which incorporates approximately 12,000 square miles consisting of Orange County and the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, in addition to the San Gorgonio Pass area in Riverside County. The SCAB is a coastal plain with connecting broad valleys and low hills, bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the southwest and high mountains around the rest of its perimeters.
Temperature and Precipitation
The general region lies in the semi-permanent high-pressure zone of the eastern Pacific, resulting in a mild climate tempered by cool sea breezes with light average wind speeds. It is considered semi-arid and is characterized by warm summers, mild winters, infrequent seasonal rainfall, moderate daytime onshore breezes, and moderate humidity. This usually mild climatological pattern is interrupted occasionally by periods of extremely hot weather, winter storms, or Santa Ana winds. The annual average temperature varies little throughout the SCAB region, ranging from the low 60s to the high 80s, measures in degrees Fahrenheit (F°). With a more pronounced oceanic influence, coastal areas show less variability in annual minimum and maximum temperatures than inland areas.
In contrast to a very steady pattern of temperature, rainfall is seasonally and annually highly variable.
Almost all annual rains fall between November and April. Summer rainfall is normally restricted to widely scattered thundershowers near the coast, with slightly heavier shower activity in the east and over the mountains.
Humidity
Although the SCAB has a semiarid climate, the air near the earth’s surface is typically moist because of the presence of a shallow marine layer. Except for infrequent periods when dry, continental air is brought into the SCAB by offshore winds, the “ocean effect” is dominant. Periods of heavy fog, especially along the Impact Sciences, Inc. 3 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
coast, are frequent, and low clouds, often referred to as high fog, are a characteristic climate feature. Annual average humidity is 70 percent at the coast and 57 percent in the eastern portions of the SCAB.
Wind
Wind patterns across the south coastal region are characterized by westerly or southwesterly onshore winds during the day and by easterly or northeasterly breezes at night. Wind speed is higher during the dry summer months than during the rainy winter.
Between periods of wind, air stagnation may occur in both the morning and evening hours. Air stagnation is one of the critical determinants of air quality conditions on any given day. During the winter and fall, surface high-pressure systems over the SCAB, combined with other meteorological conditions, can result in very strong, downslope Santa Ana winds. These winds normally continue a few days before predominant meteorological conditions are reestablished.
The mountain ranges to the east affect the diffusion of pollutants by inhibiting the eastward transport of pollutants. Air quality in the SCAB generally ranges from fair to poor and is similar to air quality in most of coastal Southern California. The entire region experiences heavy concentration of air pollutants during prolonged periods of stable atmospheric conditions.
Inversions
In conjunction with the two characteristic wind patterns that affect the rate and orientation of horizontal pollutant transport, two similarly distinct types of temperature inversions control the vertical depth through which pollutants are mixed. These inversions are the marine/subsidence inversion and the radiation inversion. The height of the base of the inversion at any given time is known as the “mixing height.” The combination of winds and inversions is a critical determinant leading to highly degraded air quality in the summer and generally good air quality in the winter in Pasadena.
Air Pollutants of Concern
Criteria air pollutants are defined as pollutants for which the federal and state governments have established ambient air quality standards for outdoor concentrations. The federal and state ambient air quality standards have been set at levels above which concentrations could be harmful to human health and welfare. These standards are designed to protect the most sensitive persons such as children, pregnant women, and the elderly, from illness or discomfort. Criteria air pollutants include ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter 2.5 microns or less in diameter (PM2.5), particulate matter ten microns or less in diameter (PM10), and lead (Pb). Note that Impact Sciences, Inc. 4 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project

Reactive Organic Gases (ROGs), which are also known as reactive organic compounds (ROCs) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and Nitrogen oxide (NOx) are not classified as criteria pollutants. However, ROGs and NOx are widely emitted from land development projects and participate in photochemical reactions in the atmosphere to form O3; therefore, NOx and ROGs are relevant to the proposed project and are of concern in the air basin and are listed below along with the criteria pollutants. Sources and health effects commonly associated with criteria pollutants are summarized in Table 1, Criteria Pollutants Summary of Common Sources and Effects.

Ambient Air Quality
Criteria Air Pollutant Monitoring Data
Ambient air quality in Pasadena can be inferred from ambient air quality measurements conducted at nearby air quality monitoring stations. Existing levels of ambient air quality and historical trends and projections in the vicinity of Pasadena are documented by measurements made by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), the air pollution regulatory agency in the SCAB regions maintains air quality monitoring stations which process ambient air quality measurements.
The purpose of the monitoring station is to measure ambient concentrations of pollutants and determine whether ambient air quality meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS). Ozone and particulate meter (PM10 and PM2.5) are pollutants of particular concern in the SCAB. The monitoring stations located closest to the proposed project site and most representative of air quality near the project site are the Pasadena South Wilson Avenue station, located approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the project site, and the Los Angeles North Main Street station, located approximately 7.0 miles southwest of the project site. Ambient emission concentrations vary due to localized variations in emissions sources and climate and should be considered “generally” representative of ambient concentrations in Pasadena. The Pasadena South Wilson Avenue station monitors O3, PM2.5, and NO2, see Table 2, Pasadena South Wilson Avenue Air Monitoring Station Ambient Pollutant Concentrations. The Los Angles North Main Street station monitors O3, PM2.5, PM10, and NO2, see Table 3, Los Angeles North Main Street Air Monitoring Station Ambient Pollutant Concentrations.

The attainment status for the SCAB region is included in Table 4, Attainment Status of Criteria Pollutants in the South Coast Air Basin. Areas that meet ambient air quality standards are classified as attainment areas, while areas that do not meet these standards are classified as nonattainment areas. The SCAB region is designated as a nonattainment area for federal ozone, PM2.5, and lead standards and are designated as nonattainment for state ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 standards.

However, all stations in the Basin, including the near-source monitoring in Los Angeles County, have remained below the lead NAAQS for the 2012 through 2015 period. The SCAQMD will request that the U.S. EPA re-designated the Los Angeles County portion of the Basin as attainment for lead.
Toxic Air Contaminants
In addition to the criteria pollutants discussed above, toxic air contaminants (TACs) are another group of pollutants of concern. TACs are considered either carcinogenic or noncarcinogenic based on the nature of the health effects associated with exposure to the pollutant. For regulatory purposes, carcinogenic TACs are assumed to have no safe threshold below which health impacts would not occur, and cancer risk is expressed as excess cancer cases per one million exposed individuals. Noncarcinogenic TACs differ in that there is generally assumed to be a safe level of exposure below which no negative health impact is believed to occur. These levels are determined on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis.
There are many different types of TACs, with varying degrees of toxicity. Sources of TACs include industrial processes, such as petroleum refining and chrome-plating operations; commercial operations, such as gasoline stations and dry cleaners; and motor vehicle exhaust. Public exposure to TACs can result from emissions from normal operations, as well as from accidental releases of hazardous materials during upset conditions. The health effects associated with TACs are quite diverse and generally are assessed locally, rather than regionally. TACs can cause long-term health effects such as cancer, birth defects, neurological damage, asthma, bronchitis, or genetic damage, or short-term acute affects such as eye watering, respiratory irritation (a cough), running nose, throat pain, and headaches.
To date, CARB has designated 244 compounds as TACs. Additionally, CARB has implemented control measures for a number of compounds that pose high risks and show potential for effective control. The majority of the estimated health risks from TACs can be attributed to a relatively few compounds.
Impact Sciences, Inc. 8 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
CARB identified diesel particulate matter (DPM) as a TAC. DPM differs from other TACs in that it is not a single substance but rather a complex mixture of hundreds of substances. Diesel exhaust is a complex mixture of particulates and gases produced when an engine burns diesel fuel. DPM is a concern because it causes lung cancer; many compounds found in diesel exhaust are carcinogenic. DPM includes the particlephase constituents in diesel exhaust. The chemical composition and particle sizes of DPM very between different engine types (heavy-duty, light-duty), engine operating conditions (idle, accelerate, decelerate), fuel formulations (high/low sulfur fuel), and the year of the engine. Some short-term (acute) effects of diesel exhaust include eye, nose, throat, and lung irritation, and diesel exhaust can cause coughs, headaches, lightheadedness, and nausea. DPM poses the greatest health risk among the TACs. Almost all diesel exhaust particle mass is 10 microns or less in diameter. Because of their extremely small size, these particles can be inhaled and eventually trapped in the bronchial and alveolar regions of the lung.
Sensitive Receptors
Some land uses are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others due to the types of population groups or activities involved. Sensitive population groups include children, the elderly, the acutely ill, and the chronically ill, especially those with cardiovascular diseases.
Residential areas are considered to be sensitive receptors to air pollutions because residents (including children and the elderly) tend to be at home for extended periods of time, resulting in sustained exposure to any pollutants present. Children are considered more susceptible to health effects of air pollution due to their immature immune systems and developing organs (OEHHA 2007). As such, schools are also considered sensitive receptors, as children are present for extended durations and engage in regular outdoor activities. Recreational land uses are considered moderately sensitive to air pollution. Although exposure periods are generally short, exercise places a high demand on respiratory functions, which can be impaired by air pollution. In addition, noticeable air pollution can detract from the enjoyment of recreation.
2.2 Regulatory Framework
Federal
Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act (CAA) of 1970 and the CAA Amendments of 1971 required the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish NAAQS, with states retaining the option to adopt more stringent standards or to include other specific pollutants. On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court found that carbon Impact Sciences, Inc. 9 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
dioxide is an air pollutant covered by the CAA; however, no NAAQS have been established for carbon dioxide.
These standards are the levels of air quality considered safe, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health and welfare. They are designed to protect those “sensitive receptors” most susceptible to further respiratory distress such as asthmatics, the elderly, very young children, people already weakened by other disease or illness, and persons engaged in strenuous work or exercise. Healthy adults can tolerate occasional exposure to air pollutant concentrations considerably above these minimum standards before adverse effects are observed.
The EPA has classified air basins (or portions thereof) as being in attainment, nonattainment, or unclassified for each criteria air pollutant, based on whether or not the NAAQS have been achieved. If an area is designated unclassified, it is because inadequate air quality data were available as a basis for a nonattainment or attainment designations. Table 4 lists the federal attainment status of the SCAB for the criteria pollutants.
National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Program Under federal law, 187 substances are currently listed as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Major sources of specific HAPs are subject to the requirements of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) program. The EPA is establishing regulatory schemes for specific source categories and requires implementation of the Maximum Achievable Control Technologies (MACT) for major sources of HAPs in each source category. State law has established the framework for California’s TAC identification and control program, which is generally more stringent than the federal program and is aimed at HAPs that are a problem is California. The state has formally identified 244 substances as TACs and is adopting appropriate control measures for each. Once adopted at the state level, each air district will be required to adopt a measure that is equally or more stringent.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
The federal CAA required the U.S. EPA to establish NAAQS. The NAAQS set primary standards and secondary standards for specific air pollutants. Primary standards define limits for the intention of protecting public health, which include sensitive populations such as asthmatics, children, and the elderly.
Secondary Standards define limits to protect public welfare to include protection against decreased visibility, damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings. A summary of the federal ambient air quality standards is shown in Table 5, National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

State
California Clean Air Act of 1988
The California CAA of 1988 (CCAA) allows states to adopt ambient air quality standards and other regulations provided that they are at least as stringent as federal standards. The California Air Resources Board (CARB), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal EPA), is responsible for the coordination and administration of both federal and state air pollution control programs within California, including setting the CAAQS. The CCAA, amended in 1992, requires all air quality management districts (AQMDs) in the state to achieve and maintain the CAAQS. The CAAQS are generally stricter than national standards for the same pollutants and has also established state standards for sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, vinyl chloride, and visibility-reducing particles, for which there are no national standards. CARB also conducts research, compiles emission inventories, develops suggested control measures, and provides oversight of local programs. CARB also has primary responsibility for the development of California’s State Implementation Plan (SIP), for which it works closely with the federal government and the local air districts.

California Ambient Air Quality Standards
The federal CAA permits states to adopt additional or more protective air quality standards if needed.
California has set standards for certain pollutants, such as particulate matter and ozone, which are more protective of public health than respective federal standards. California has also set standards for some pollutants that are not addressed by federal standards. The state standards for ambient air quality are summarized in Table 6, California Ambient Air Quality Standards.

California State Implementation Plan
The federal CAA (and its subsequent amendments) requires each state to prepare an air quality control plan referred to as a SIP. The SIP is a living document that is periodically modified to reflect the latest emissions inventories, plans, and rules and regulations of air basins as reported by the agencies with jurisdiction over them. The CAA Amendments dictate that states containing areas violating the NAAQS revise their SIPs to include extra control measures to reduce air pollution. The SIP includes strategies and control measures to attain the NAAQS by deadlines established by the CAA. The EPA has the responsibility to review all SIPs to determine if they conform to the requirements of the CAA.
Impact Sciences, Inc. 12 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
State law makes CARB the lead agency for all purposes related to the SIP. Local air districts and other agencies prepare SIP elements and submit them to CARB for review and approval. CARB then forwards SIP revisions to the EPA for approval and publication in the Federal Register. The 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (2016 AQMP) is the SIP for SCAB. The 2016 AQMP is a regional blueprint for achieving air quality standards and healthful air in the SCAB and those portions of the Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) that are under the SCAQMD’s jurisdictions. The 2016 AQMP represents a new approach, focusing on available, proven, and cost effective alternatives to traditional strategies, while seeking to achieve multiple goals in partnerships with other entities promoting reductions in greenhouse gases and toxic risk, as well as efficiencies in energy use, transportation, and goods movement. The most effective way to reduce air pollution impacts is to reduce emissions from mobile sources. The AQMP relies on regional and multi-level partnerships of governmental agencies at the federal, state, regional, and local level. Those agencies (EPA, CARB, local governments, Southern California Association of Governments [SCAG] and the SCAQMD) are the primary agencies that implement the AQMP programs. The 2016 AQMP incorporates the latest scientific and technical information and planning assumptions, including SCAG’s 2016-2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), updated emission inventory methodologies for various source categories, and SCAG’s latest growth forecasts. The 2016 AQMP includes integrated strategies and measures to meet the NAAQS.
California Air Toxics “Hot Spots” Information and Assessment Act (AB 2588) The California Air Toxics Program is supplemented by the Air Toxics “Hot Spots” program, which became law (AB 2588, Statutes of 1987) in 1987. In 1992, the AB 2588 program was amended by Senate Bill 1731 to require facilities that pose a significant health risk to the community to perform a risk reduction audit and reduce their emissions through implementation of a risk management plan. Under this program, which is required under the Air Toxics “Hot Spots” Information and Assessment Act (Section 44363 of the California Health and Safety Code), facilities are required to report their air toxics emissions, assess health risks, and notify nearby residents and workers of significant risks when present.
Typically, land development projects generate diesel emissions from construction vehicles during the construction phase, as well as some diesel emissions from small trucks during the operational phase. Diesel exhaust is mainly composed of particulate matter and gases, which contain potential cancer-causing substances. Emissions from diesel engines currently include over 40 substances that are listed by EPA as hazardous air pollutants and by CARB as TACs. On August 27, 1998, CARB identified particulate matter in diesel exhaust as a TAC, based on data linking diesel particulate emissions to increased risks of lung cancer and respiratory disease.

In March 2015, the OEHHA adopted “The Air Toxics Hot Spots Program Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk Assessments” in accordance with the Health and Safety Code, Section 44300. The Final Guidance Manual incorporates the scientific basis from three earlier developed Technical Support Documents to assess risk from exposure to facility emissions. The 2015 OEHHA Final Guidance has key changes including greater age sensitivity in particular for children, decreased exposure durations, and higher breathing rate profiles. Because cancer risk could be up to three times greater using this new guidance, it may result in greater mitigation requirements, more agency backlog, and increased difficulty in getting air permits. Regardless of the change in calculation methodology, actual emissions and cancer risk within South Coast Air Basin has declined by more than 50 percent since 2005.
The CARB provides a computer program, the Hot Spots Analysis and Reporting Program (HARP), to assist in a coherent and consistent preparation of an HRA. HARP2, an update to HARP, was released in March 2015. HARP2 has a more refined risk characterization in HRA and CEQA documents and incorporates the 2015 OEHHA Final Guidance.
Regional
South Coast Air Quality Management District
The SCAQMD is the air pollution control district for Orange County and the non-desert portions of Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties. The agency’s primary responsibility is ensuring that the SCAB region meets attainment for the federal and state standards. The SCAQMD is responsible for preparing an air quality management plan in order to meet federal attainment status. The SCAQMD is also responsible for adopting and enforcing rules and regulations concerning air pollutant sources, issuing permits for stationary sources of air pollutants, inspecting stationary sources of air pollutants, responding to citizen complaints, monitoring ambient air quality and meteorological conditions, awarding grants to reduce motor vehicle emissions, and conducting public education campaigns, as well as many other activities. All projects are subject to SCAQMD rules and regulations in effect at the time of construction.
SCAQMD Rules and Regulations
The following is a list of noteworthy SCAQMD rules that are required of construction activities associated with the proposed project:
• Rule 402 (Nuisance) – This rule prohibits the discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other material which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health, or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause, or have a natural Impact Sciences, Inc. 14 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property. This rule does not apply to odors emanating from agricultural operations necessary for the growing of crops or the raising of fowl or animals.
• Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust) – This rule requires fugitive dust sources to implement best available control measures for all sources, and all forms of visible particulate matter are prohibited from crossing any property line. This rule is intended to reduce PM10 emissions from any transportation, handling, construction, or storage activity that has the potential to generate fugitive dust. PM10 suppression techniques are summarized blow.
a) Portions of a construction site to remain inactive longer than a period of three months will be seeded and watered until grass cover is grown or otherwise stabilized. b) All on-site roads will be paved as soon as feasible or watered periodically or chemically stabilized.
c) All material transported off-site will be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust.
d) The area disturbed by clearing, grading, earthmoving, or excavation operations will be minimized at all times.
e) Where vehicles leave a construction site and enter adjacent public streets, the streets will be swept daily or washed down at the end of the work day to remove soil tracked onto the paved surface.
• Rule 1113 (Architectural Coatings) – This rule requires manufacturers, distributors, and end-uses of architectural and industrial maintenance coatings to reduce ROG emissions from the use of these coatings, primarily by placing limits on the ROG content of various coating categories.
2.3 Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Thresholds of Significance
The impact analysis provided below is based on the application of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Appendix G, which indicates that a project would have a significant impact on air quality if it would:
1) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of any applicable air quality plan.
Impact Sciences, Inc. 15 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
2) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. 3) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. 4) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people.
The significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district (SCAQMD) may be relied upon to make the above determinations. According to the SCAQMD, an air quality impact is considered significant if the proposed project would violate any ambient air quality standard, contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation, or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The SCAQMD has established thresholds of significance for air quality for construction and operational activities of land use development projects, shown in Table 7 – South Coast Air Quality Management District Regional Significance Thresholds – Pounds per Day.

CO Hotspot Analysis
In addition to the daily thresholds listed above, development associated with the proposed project would also be subject to the ambient air quality standards. These are addressed through an analysis of localized CO impacts. The California 1-hour and 8-hour CO standards are:
• 1-hour = 20 parts per million
• 8-hour = 9 parts per million
The significance of localized impacts depends on whether ambient CO levels in the vicinity of the project site are above state and federal CO standards. Carbon monoxide concentrations in Pasadena no longer exceed either the CAAQS or the NAAQS criteria. Additionally, the SCAB region is designated as attainment under the 1-hour and 8-hour standards (see Table 4).
Localized Significance Thresholds
In addition to regional emissions and the CO hotspot analysis, the SCAQMD has developed a set of mass emissions rate look-up tables called localized significance thresholds (LSTs) that can be used to evaluate localized impacts that may result from construction and operational-period emissions. If the on-site emissions from proposed construction activities are below the emission levels found in the LST mass rate look-up tables for the project site receptor area (SRA), then emissions would not have the potential to cause a significant localized air quality impact. When quantifying mass emissions for LST analysis, only Impact Sciences, Inc. 17 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
emissions that occur on site are considered. Consistent with SCAQMD LST guidance, emissions from offsite delivery hauling trucks, or employee trips are not considered in the evaluation of localized impacts.
The City of Pasadena lies within SCAQMD SRA 8 and the project site is approximately 0.74-acres.
Therefore, Table 8, Local Significance Thresholds – Pounds per Day shows the LST screening threshold for a 1-acre project site in SRA 8 with sensitive receptors located within 25 meters of the project site.

Toxic Air Contaminant Thresholds
Certain groups of people are more affected by air pollution than others. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has identified the following persons who are most likely to be affected by air pollution: children under 14, the elderly over 65, athletes, and people with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases.
These groups are classified as sensitive receptors. Locations that may contain a high concentration of these sensitive population groups include residential areas, hospitals, daycare facilities, elder care facilities, elementary schools, and parks. The closest sensitive receptors to the site are residences located adjacent to the Project. However, due to the limited scale and the short duration of construction, the proposed Project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations during construction.
Additionally, the proposed Project would not include any operational sources of TACs, and operational emissions were estimated to be far below significance thresholds. Therefore, the proposed Project would not expose sensitive receptors to a potential health risk during operation.
Methodology
Air quality impacts were evaluated in accordance with the methodologies recommended by CARB and the SCAQMD. Where criteria air pollutant quantification was required, emissions modeled using the California Emissions Estimator Model version 2016.3.2 (CalEEMod). CalEEMod is a statewide land use Impact Sciences, Inc. 18 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project

emissions computer model designed to quantify potential criteria pollutant emissions associated with both construction and operations from a variety of land use projects.
Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Conflict with the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan
Impact 1 Implementation of the proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan. Therefore, the project would cause no impact related to conflicts with the Air Quality Management Plan.
As part of its enforcement responsibilities, the EPA requires each state with nonattainment areas to prepare and submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) that demonstrates the means to attain the federal standards.
The SIP must integrate federal, state, and local plan components and regulations to identify specific measures to reduce pollution in nonattainment areas, using a combination of performance standards and market-based programs. Similarly, under state law, the CCAA requires an air quality attainment plan to be prepared for areas designated as nonattainment with regard to the federal and state ambient air quality standards. Air quality attainment plans outline emissions limits and control measures to achieve and maintain these standards by the earliest practical date.
As previously mentioned, the project site is located within the SCAB, which is under the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD. The SCAQMD is required, pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act, to reduce emissions of criteria pollutants for which the SCAB is in nonattainment. In order to reduce such emissions, the SCAQMD drafted the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The 2016 AQMP establishes a program of rules and regulations directed at reducing air pollutant emissions and achieving California and national air quality standards. The 2016 AQMP is a regional and multi-agency effort including the SCAQMD, CARB, SCAG, and the U.S. EPA. The plan’s pollutant control strategies are based on the latest scientific and technical information and planning assumptions, including SCAG’s 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS), updated emission inventory methodologies for various source categories, and SCAG’s latest growth forecasts. (SCAG’s latest growth forecasts were defined in consultation with local governments and with reference to local general plans.) The project is subject to the SCAQMD’s AQMP.
Criteria for determining consistency with the AQMP are defined in Chapter 12, Section 12.2 and Section
12.3 of the SCAQMD’s 1993 CEQA Air Quality Handbook, and include the following:
• Consistency Criterion No. 1: The proposed project will not result in an increase in the frequency or severity of an existing air quality violation, or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay the Impact Sciences, Inc. 19 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emissions reductions specified in the AQMP.
• Consistency Criterion No. 2: The proposed project will not exceed the assumptions in the AQMP or increments based on the years of the project build-out phase.
The violations to which Consistency Criterion No. 1 refers are the CAAQS and the NAAQS. As evaluated under Impacts 2 and 3 below, the project would not exceed the short-term construction standards or longterm operational standards and in so doing would not violate any air quality standards (see Table 9 and Table 10). Thus, no impact is expected, and the project would be consistent with first criterion.
Concerning Consistency Criterion No. 2, the 2016 AQMP contains air pollutant reduction strategies based on SCAG’s latest growth forecasts, and SCAG’s growth forecasts were defined in consultation with local governments and with reference to local general plans. The proposed project is consistent with the land use designation and development density prepared in the City of Pasadena’s General Plan and therefore would not exceed the population or job growth projections used by the SCAMQD to develop the 2016 AQMP. Thus, no impact would occur, as the project is also consistent with the second criterion.
Short-Term Construction-Generated and Long-Term Operation-Generated Pollutant Emissions Resulting in Violation of Air Quality Standards or Contributing to Existing Violations Impact 2 Project-generated construction and operational emissions would not exceed applicable significance thresholds and therefore would not contribute to regional nonattainment conditions. As a result, the project’s short-term construction and long-term operational emissions of air pollutants are considered a less than significant impact.
Regional Construction Significance Analysis
Construction associated with the proposed project would generate short-term emissions of criteria air pollutants. The criteria pollutants of primary concern within the project area include ozone-precursor pollutants (i.e., ROG and NOx), PM10, and PM2.5. Construction-generated emissions are short term and of temporary duration, lasting only as long as construction activities occur, but would be considered a significant air quality impact if the volume of pollutants generated exceeds the SCAQMD’s thresholds of significance.
Construction results in the temporary generation of emissions resulting from site grading and excavation, road paving, motor vehicle exhaust associated with construction equipment and worker trips, and the Impact Sciences, Inc. 20 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
movement of construction equipment, especially on unpaved surfaces. Emissions of airborne particulate matter are largely dependent on the amount of ground disturbance associated with site preparation activities as well as weather conditions and the appropriate application of water.
The duration of construction activities associated with the proposed project is estimated to last approximately 28 months, beginning in 2022. Construction-generated emissions associated with the proposed project were calculated using the SCAQMD and CARB-approved California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) model. CalEEMod is designed to model construction and operational emissions for land use development projects. The model incorporates typical construction requirements such as construction equipment, demolition debris, and hauling trips. The CalEEMod model assumed that construction of the proposed project would include approximately 45,500 cubic yards of grading soil export and construction equipment was based on information provided by the project applicant, including the use of Tier 3 construction equipment. Predicted maximum daily construction-generated emissions for the proposed project are summarized in Table 9, Construction-Related Criteria Pollutant and Precursor Emissions – Maximum Pounds per Day.
During construction, the contractors are required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 (Nuisance) and Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust), among others, which assist in reducing short-term construction-related air pollutant emissions. Rule 402 prohibits emissions that would cause a public nuisance and Rule 403 requires fugitive dust sources to implement best available control measures for all sources, and all forms of visible particulate matter are prohibited from crossing any property line. As shown below, all criteria pollutant emissions would remain below their respective thresholds. The proposed project would be subject to Rules 402, 403, and 113, described in the Regulatory Framework subsection above. In addition, the project would utilize Tier 3 construction equipment (or better) which would reduce NOx and particulate matter.

The emissions include measures within CalEEMod and as required by the SCAQMD through Rule 403. This includes the following: properly maintain mobile and other construction equipment; replace ground cover in disturbed areas quickly; water exposed surfaces three times daily; cover stock piles with tarps; water all haul roads twice daily; and limit speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hours.

CEQA Handbook (Tables XI-A through XI-E) were applied. Consistent with CARB fleet requirements, construction equipment was assumed to meet minimum Tier 3 standards.
Regional Operational Significance Analysis
Project-generated emissions would be associated with motor vehicle use and area sources, such as the use of natural-gas-fired appliances, landscape maintenance equipment, and architectural coatings associated with the operation of an 84-unit apartment building with 6,200 square feet of retail space and 4 work/live units. Long-term operational emissions attributable to the proposed project are summarized in Table 10, Long-Term Operational Emissions – Maximum Pounds per Day.

As shown in Table 9 and Table 10, neither the project’s construction nor operational emissions would exceed the SCAQMD’s thresholds for any criteria air pollutants. Therefore, regional construction and operation operational emissions would not result in a significant long-term regional air quality impact.
Adverse health effects induced by criteria pollutant emissions are highly dependent on a multitude of interconnected variables (e.g., cumulative concentrations, local meteorology and atmospheric conditions, and the number and character of exposed individual [e.g., age, gender]). In particular, O3 precursors, VOCs, and NOx affect air quality on a regional scale. Health effects related to O3 are therefore the product of emissions generated by numerous sources throughout a region. Existing models have limited sensitivity to small changes in criteria pollutant concentrations, and, as such, translating project-generated criteria pollutants to specific health effects or additional days of nonattainment would produce meaningless results. In other words, the project’s less than significant increases in regional air pollution from criteria air Impact Sciences, Inc. 22 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
pollutants would not have measurable effect on the human health implications of the Basin’s ambient air quality.
As noted in the Brief of Amicus Curiae by the SCAQMD (April 6, 2015) for the Sierra Club vs. County of Fresno, the SCAMQD acknowledged it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible to quantify health impact of criteria pollutants for various reasons including modeling limitations as well as where in the atmosphere air pollutants interact and form. Further, as noted in the Brief of Amicus Curiae by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) (April 13, 2015) for the Sierra Club vs. County of Fresno, SJVAPCD has acknowledged that currently available modeling tools are not equipped to provide a meaningful analysis of the correlation between an individual development project’s air emissions and specific human health impacts.
The SCAQMD acknowledges that quantifying the health impacts from O3 is difficult. The health impacts an individual may face from O3 depends on the ambient levels of O3 that an individual person breathes.
However, measuring changes in ambient levels of O3 presents a challenge. SCAQMD’s Brief of Amicus Curiae states that it would take a large amount of additional emissions to cause a modeled increase in ambient O3 levels over the entire region. The SCAQMD states that based on their own modeling in the SCAQMD’s 2012 Air Quality Management Plan, a reduction of 432 tons (864,000 pounds) per day of NOx and a reduction of 187 tons (374,000 pounds) per day of VOC would reduce O3 levels at the highest monitored site by only nine parts per billion. As such, the SCAQMD concludes that it is not currently possible to accurately quantify O3-related health impacts caused by NOx or VOC emissions from relatively small projects (defined as projects with regional scope) due to photochemistry and regional model limitations. Thus, as the project would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for construction and operational air emissions, the project would have a less than significant impact for air quality health impacts.
Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Substantial Pollutant Concentrations Impact 3 Implementation of the project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial air pollutant concentrations. This is considered a less than significant impact.
Localized Significance Thresholds
Localized Construction Significance Analysis
The nearest receptors to the project site are residents located adjacent to the north and east of the project site. In order to identify impacts to sensitive receptors, the SCAQMD recommends addressing Localized Significance Thresholds (LSTs) for construction.
Impact Sciences, Inc. 23 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
LSTs were developed in response to SCAQMD Governing Boards’ Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative (I-4). The SCAMQD provided the Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology for guidance (SCAQMD 2008). The LST methodology assists lead agencies in analyzing localized impacts associated with project-specific analysis.
As detailed above, the SRA for the LST is the West San Gabriel Valley area (SRA 8) since this area includes the project site. LSTs apply to CO, NO2, PM10, and PM2.5. The SCAMQD produced look-up tables for projects that disturb areas less than or equal to 5 acres in size. The project site is approximately 0.74-acres, therefore, the LST threshold for one acre was utilized for the construction LST analysis.
The SCAQMD’s methodology clearly states that “off-site mobile emissions from the project should not be included in the emissions compared to LSTs.” Therefore, for purposes of the construction LST analysis, only emissions included in the CalEEMod “on-site” emissions outputs were considered. The nearest sensitive receptors to the project site are the residents adjacent to the north and east. LST screening thresholds are provided for distances to sensitive receptors of 25, 50, 100, 200, and 500 meters. According to SCAQMD methodology, “It is possible that a project may have receptors closer than 25 meters. Projects with boundaries located closer than 25 meters to the nearest receptor should use the LSTs for receptors located at 25 meters.” Therefore, LSTs for receptors located at 25 meters were utilized in this analysis.
Table 11, Localized Significance of Construction Emissions – Maximum Pounds per Day, presents the results of the localized emissions during construction activity of the proposed project. As shown in Table 10, the on-site air pollutant emissions on the peak day of construction would not exceed the applicable LST.
Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

2023 18.48 23.20 0.95 0.95
2024 18.47 23.20 0.95 0.95
LST Screening Threshold 69 535 4 3
Exceed? No No No No
Localized Operational Significance Analysis
According to the SCAQMD LST methodology, LSTs would apply to operational phase of a proposed project only if the project includes stationary sources or attracts mobile sources that may spend long periods queuing and idling at the site (e.g., warehouse or transfer facilities). The project is proposing a mixed-use Impact Sciences, Inc. 24 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
residential and commercial development and, therefore, does not include such land uses. Thus, due to the lack of queuing and idling emissions, no long-term localized significance threshold analysis is needed.
Operational LST impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Localized Air Quality Health Impacts
As evaluated above, the project’s air emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD’s LST thresholds.
Therefore, the project would not cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable NAAQS or CAAQS for emissions of CO, NOx, PM10, or PM2.5. It should be noted that the ambient air quality standards are developed and represent levels at which the most susceptible persons are protected.
In other words, the ambient air quality standards are purposely set in a stringent manner to protect children, the elderly, and those with existing respiratory problems. Thus, air quality health impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Carbon Monoxide Hotspots
CO emissions are a function of vehicle idling time, meteorological conditions, and traffic flow. Under certain extreme meteorological conditions, CO concentrations near a congested roadways or intersections may reach unhealthful levels (i.e., adversely affecting residents, school children, hospital patients, the elderly, etc.).
The SCAB is designated as an attainment/maintenance area for the federal CO standards and an attainment area for state standards. There has been a decline in CO emissions even though vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on U.S. urban and rural roads have increased nationwide; estimated anthropogenic CO emissions have decreased 68 percent between 1990 and 2014. In 2014, mobile sources accounted for 82 percent of the nation’s total anthropogenic CO emissions (EPA 2018). Three major control programs have contributed to the reduced per-vehicle CO emissions: exhaust standards, cleaner burner fuels, and motor vehicle inspection/maintenance programs.
According to the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, a potential CO hotspot may occur at any location where the background CO concentration already exceeds 9.0 ppm, the CAAQS for 8-hour ozone. The SCAQMD prepared a detailed CO analysis in the Federal Attainment Plan for Carbon Monoxide as part of the 2003 AQMP. The 2003 AQMP is the most recent AQMP that addresses CO concentrations. The CO analysis included microscale modeling of CO at the worst-case intersections in SCAB. Of these locations, the Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue intersection in Los Angeles experienced the highest CO concentration of 4.6 ppm. At the time of analysis, the Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue intersection was the most congested intersection in Los Angeles County with an average daily traffic volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day. As CO impacts at the Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue Impact Sciences, Inc. 25 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
intersection did not exceed the 8-hour CAAQS, it can be inferred that the intersections near the project site would not create any CO hotspots. Furthermore, as previously discussed, the site is located in SRA 8, West San Gabriel Valley. Communities within SRAs are expected to have similar climatology and ambient air pollutant concentrations. The monitoring station representative of SRA 8 is the Pasadena-South Wilson Avenue air quality monitoring station located approximately 1.5 miles southeast of the site. According to data obtained from the EPA’s AirData database for CO pollutants, the highest eight-hour concentration reported for the Pasadena station in 2018 was 1.4 ppm. As such, the background CO concentration in combination with the CO concentration at worst-case scenario intersection in SCAB do not exceed 9.0 ppm and a CO hotspot would not occur. Therefore, CO hotspot impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Diesel Particulate Matter
Construction would result in the generation of diesel particulate matter (diesel PM) emissions from the use of off-road diesel equipment required for grading and excavation, paving, and other construction activities.
The amount to which the receptors are exposed (a function of concentration and duration of exposure) is the primary factor used to determine health risk (i.e., potential exposure to TAC emission levels that exceed applicable standards). Health-related risks associated with diesel-exhaust emissions are primarily linked to long-term exposure and the associated risk of contracting cancer.
The use of diesel-powered construction equipment would be temporary and episodic. The duration of exposure would be short and exhaust from construction equipment dissipates rapidly. Current methodology for conducting health risk assessments are associated with long term exposure periods (9, 30, and 70 years). Therefore, short-term construction activities would not generate a significant health risk.
Additionally, the project site is approximately 0.74-acres and, as a result, construction activities would occur in an area of less than 5 acres. CARB generally considers construction projects contained in a site of such size to represent less than significant health risk impacts due to limitations of the off-road diesel equipment able to operate and thus a reduced amount of generated diesel particulate matter (DPM), the reduced amount of dust-generating ground-disturbance possible compared to larger construction sites, and the reduced duration of construction activities compared to the development of larger sites.
Furthermore, construction would be subject to and would comply with California regulations limiting the idling of heavy-duty construction equipment to no more than 5 minutes, which would further reduce nearby sensitive receptors’ exposure to temporary and variable DPM emissions. For these reasons, DPM generated by construction activities, in and of itself, would not be expected to expose sensitive receptors to substantial amounts of air toxics and the project would have a less than significant impact.

Result in Other Emissions (Such as those Leading to Odors) Adversely Affecting a Substantial Number of People
Impact 4 The proposed project would not include sources that could create other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people. Thus, the project would cause a less than significant impact in this regard.
The SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook (1993) identifies certain land uses as sources of odors. These land uses include agriculture (farming and livestock), wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting facilities, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding. The proposed project would not include any of the land uses that have been identified by the SCAQMD as odor sources.
Construction activities associated with the project may generate detectable odors from heavy-duty equipment exhaust and architectural coatings. However, construction-related odors would be short-term in nature and cease upon project completion. In addition, the project would be required to comply with the California Code of Regulations, Title 13, sections 2449(d)(3) and 2485, which minimizes the idling time of construction equipment either by shutting it off when not in use or by reducing the time of idling to no more than five minutes. This would reduce the detectable odors from heavy-duty equipment exhaust. The project would also be required to comply with the SCAQMD Rule 1113 – Architectural Coating, which would minimize odor impacts from ROG emissions during architectural coating. Any odor impacts to existing adjacent land uses would be short-term and not substantial. As such, the project would not result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people.
Impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
2.4 Cumulative Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures Cumulative Setting
The cumulative setting for air quality includes Pasadena and SCAB. SCAB is designated as nonattainment area for state standards of ozone, PM2.5, and PM10. SCAB is designated as a nonattainment area for federal standards of ozone and PM2.5. SCAB is designated as being unclassified and/or attainment for all other pollutants. Cumulative growth in population and vehicle use could inhibit efforts to improve regional air quality and attain the ambient air quality standards.
Impact Sciences, Inc. 27 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
Cumulative Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Result in a Cumulatively Considerable Net Increase in Nonattainment Criteria Pollutants Impact 5 Implementation of the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria air pollutants for which the SCAB is designated nonattainment. This is considered a less than cumulatively considerable impact.
The SCAQMD’s approach to assessing cumulative impacts is based on the 2016 AQMP forecasts of attainment of ambient air quality standards in accordance with the requirements of the CAA and the CCAA. The SCAQMD neither recommends quantified analyses of cumulative construction or operational emissions, nor does it provide separate methodologies or thresholds of significance to be used to assess cumulative construction or operational impacts. Instead, the SCAQMD recommends that a project’s potential contribution to cumulative impacts should be assessed using the same significance criteria as those for project-specific impacts. Therefore, individual development projects that generate constructionrelated or operational emissions that exceed the SCAQMD recommended daily thresholds for projectspecific impacts would also cause a cumulative considerable increase in emissions for those pollutants for which the Basin is nonattainment.
As discussed in Impact 1, the proposed project would be consistent with the 2016 AQMP, which is intended to bring the SCAB into attainment for all criteria pollutants. Furthermore, operational and construction emissions calculated for the proposed project do not exceed the applicable SCAQMD daily significance thresholds that are designed to assist the region in attaining the applicable ambient air quality standards (see Table 9, Construction-Related Criteria Pollutant and Precursor Emissions and Table 10, Long-Term Operational Emissions).
Additionally, with respect to the proposed project’s construction-related air quality emissions and cumulative basin-wide conditions, the SCAQMD has developed strategies to reduce criteria pollutant emissions outlined in the 2016 AQMP pursuant to federal CAA mandates. As such, the proposed project would comply with SCAQMD Rule 403 requirements and with adopted 2016 AQMP emissions control measures. Per SCAQMD rules and mandates, these same requirements (i.e., Rule 403 compliance and compliance with adopted AQMP emissions control measures) would also be imposed on construction projects throughout the SCAB, which would include related projects.
The proposed project would also not result in cumulative operational air quality impacts because emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD-adopted operational thresholds and the project’s contribution is not a significant proportion of the cumulative total emissions. Cumulative projects would likewise be required Impact Sciences, Inc. 28 86 Fair Oaks Ave. Project
1136.04 June 2020
#PZ270KS40D8ZTSv1
to reduce their emissions per SCAQMD rules and mandates. The project’s emissions would not considerably contribute to an exceedance of the NAAQS or CAAQS and would, therefore, comply with the goals of the 2016 AQMP. Therefore, the project’s contribution to regional pollutant concentrations would not be cumulatively considerable and cumulative impacts would not be significant.

Re: 86 South Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena, California 91105 Dear Ms. Silverstein,
In June 2018, Carlberg Associates conducted a tree inventory on the property located at 86 South Fair Oaks Avenue in Pasadena. The existing parking lot is proposed to be demolished to accommodate a new mixeduse development. Carlberg prepared a tree inventory, tree location map, and Protected Tree Removal applications that were submitted to the City of Pasadena by the project architect, Architectural Resources Group (ARG), in September 2018.
It has come to our attention that Tree #24, a protected Indian laurel fig (Ficus microcarpa), failed from the root plate during one of the rain storms in January 2018. Photographs provided by ARG at the end of this letter illustrate the failure. I did not see the tree in its failed condition. In 2018, we noted fungal fruiting bodies on several of the structural roots. Based on the prior presence of fungal fruiting bodies and the nature of the failure, this tree failure appears to have occurred due to storm-related pressure on a significantly compromised root structure. These are natural causes and not related to any project-related activity.
It is my opinion that mitigation should not be required for the loss of this tree. Please feel welcome to contact me at our Sierra Madre office with questions. Thank you.

Remarks:
ARG has reviewed the findings of the draft Tree Aging study by Jan C. Scow Consulting Arborists, LLC dated June 3, 2013. The study was commissioned by Goldrich & Kest Industries in order to provide an assessment of the ages of the trees on the Hotel Green Apartments project site, which lies within the historic property of the Hotel Green. As a part of this review, ARG examined historic photos in our research collection about the site with special attention to the project site. We reviewed the findings of the study and compared it to what we know about the historic character of the project site. We also estimated a period of significance for the historic Hotel Green property based on our prior research in order to put the estimated ages of the trees in the context of the project site’s historical period.
No period of significance has yet been determined for the property. The National Register nomination was written before this became an obligatory part of a nomination. Our historic context report didn’t make a call either. However, based on our research the period would begin in 1899 with the opening of the “West Annex,” now the Castle Green. We believe that most qualified interpreters would place the end of the period of significance at end of the resort hotel era. We would argue for 1924, the year that the Castle Green became individually-owned apartment units and was no longer a hotel; this was presumably the year that the property was subdivided, though the date on the subdivision map we have is not legible. Trees that are more than 85 years old would then fall within the period of significance.
This age category would include six trees from the study’s list:
5 Camphor 90-110 years old
13 Canary Island Date Palm 100-110 years old
11 California Fan Palm 75-85 years old
6 California Fan Palm 75-85 years old
35 Mexican Fan Palm 75-95 years old
37 Mexican Fan Palm 80-90 years old
