TRUCKS WILL ENTER INTO THE PROJECT AT ORANGETHORPE AVE,
CONTINUE ALONG THE DRIVEWAY AND UTILIZE THE DESIGNATED
TURN -AROUND TO HEAD SOUTH, PARK ADJACENT TO THE TRASH
STAGING AREAS AND COMMENCE OPERATIONS. AFTER COMPLETING PICK-UP, TRUCKS WILL EXIT THE PROPERTY AT ORANGETHORPE AVE.
TRASH ROOMS
SOLID WASTE:
A MIN. TOTAL OF THREE (4) 2 -CUBIC YARD TRASH BINS ARE
ANTICIPATED TO BE ON SITE WITHIN TRASH ROOM AT ALL TIMES FOR 3X A WEEK PICK-UP SCHEDULE.
RECYCLABLE:
A MIN. TOTAL OF (3) 4 -CUBIC YARD RECYCLE BINS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE ON SITE WITHIN TRASH ROOM AT ALL TIMES FOR 3X A WEEK PICK-UP SCHEDULE.

COLLECTION WILL BE VIA RECYCLABLE AND COMPACTED SOLID WASTE
TRASH CHUTES LOCATED WITHIN ONE SEPARATE ENCLOSURE AT THE
SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE PARKING STRUCTURE AT EACH
RESIDENTIAL LEVEL. THE ONE TRASH TERMINATION ROOM WILL
PROVIDE FOR SOLID WASTE, RECYCLE AND ORGANICS BINS PER
DESCRIPTION AND FREQUENCY ABOVE.
TENANTS WILL NOT ACCESS THE TRASH TERMINATION ROOM DIRECTLY,
BUT THROUGH TRASH -CHUTE ROOMS LOCATED AT EVERY LEVEL OF THE BUILDING OFF THE RESIDENTIAL CORRIDORS.
THE TRASH CHUTES WILL CONTAIN A MECHANISM THAT WILL ALLOW
COMPLETE SHUT-OFF IN ORDER TO REMOVE / REPLACE THE BINS AS
THEY REQUIRE EMPTYING AND LIMIT ACCESS TO ALL OTHER FLOORS WHEN ANY ONE CHUTE DOOR IS OPENED. A PORTER WILL BE REQUIRED
TO MONITOR THE TRASH LEVELS THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS A PART OF DAILY DUTIES. A VEHICLE APPROPRIATE FOR TOWING TRASH BINS (eg.
WASTE -CADDY) WILL BE PART OF MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS OR VIA CONTRACTING WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDER.
TEMPORARY STAGING ROOM
TEMPORARY STAGING AWAITING ARRIVAL AND POSITIONING OF WASTE TRUCK.
STAGING AREA
THE STAGING AREA IS WHERE THE COLLECTION OF ALL BINS WILL TAKE
PLACE AND WHERE THE HAULER (TRASH TRUCK) WILL PICK-UP THE BINS.
MAINTENANCE OF TRASH ROOMS
THE MAINTENANCE OF THE TRASH ROOMS WILL BE MONITORED AND MANAGED BY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.
ROLL OUT SERVICE AND PICK-UP
TRASH COLLECTION BINS WILL BE MOVED FROM THE ONE TRASH
ROOMS AT LEVEL 1 (PARKING STRUCTURE) WITH AN APPROPRIATE RETRIEVAL VEHICLE (eg. WASTE -CADDY). THE PROPERTY OWNER WILL

LIGHTING CONCEPT:
THE OUTDOOR LIGHTING CONCEPT IS TO PROVIDE LEVELS OF LIGHTING SUFFICIENT TO MEET SAFETY AND ORIENTATION NEEDS.
WITHIN PUBLIC AREAS LIGHTING WILL BE WARM COLORED AND UNOBTRUSIVE. LIGHT SOURCES WILL BE TUNGSTEN OR METAL HALIDE.
LIGHTING SOURCES FOR THE LANDSCAPE AND PAVED AREAS WILL BE CONCEALED AND THE LIGHTING INDIRECT NOT VISIBLE FROM A PUBLIC VIEWPOINT. LIGHT SOURCES SHOULD BE DIRECTED SO THAT IT DOES NOT FALL OUTSIDE THE AREA TO BE LIGHTED.
ALL EXTERIOR SURFACE AND ABOVE -GROUND MOUNTED FIXTURES WILL BE SYMPATHETIC AND COMPLIMENTARY TO THE ARCHITECTURAL THEME.

Executive Summary
The City of Placentia, California ("the City"), is assessing the impact of various possible development scenarios at 777 W. Orangethorpe Avenue/776 S. Placentia Avenue, currently a vacant car dealership. The City retained Jon Stover & Associates (JS&A) to quantify the economic and fiscal impacts of three potential redevelopment scenarios to guide the City in future decision -making. As part of this analysis, JS&A assessed the anticipated economic and net fiscal impacts generated by each scenario. Key findings, summarized below, reflect both the construction periods and stabilized operations of each scenario.

(1) Development programs are conceptual and will likely vary from final building programs of future redevelopment. Conceptual development programs used for this study are based on conceptual proposals submitted by developers for the project. Actual impact will vary based on the final development program and design. (2) Fifteen -year cumulative fiscal impact includes construction period tax revenues and anticipated net fiscal revenues during first fifteen years of stabilized operations. (3) Employment figures include full-time and part-time jobs. (4) A larger hotel development with more rooms would have a larger economic and fiscal impact that would be approximately proportional to the increase in rooms. For a 150 -room hotel, the annual fiscal impact upon stabilized operations would be approximately $697,000, with a 15 -year cumulative net fiscal impact of $10.9 million. (5) Analysis assumes that an on -site car dealership has comparable sales and employment levels as the former tenant (a Chrysler Jeep dealership). Impacts will vary depending on the type of dealership. A used car dealership may or may not result in lower impact figures, as impact is depending on annual sales and on -site employment.
Note: Jon Stover & Associates (JS&A), an economic development consulting firm, conducted this analysis on behalf of the City of Placentia. All findings subject to change.

Project Background
Background & Study Purpose
The City of Placentia, CA ("The City") is assessing the anticipated impacts of various possible development projects at 777 W. Orangethorpe Avenue/776 S. Placentia Avenue,
the current site of a vacant car dealership. The City selected Jon Stover & Associates to conduct an independent study to assess the economic impacts of three potential
developments, including the renovation of the existing on - site commercial building with the site continuing its former use as a car dealership. The study also assesses the
anticipated state and local tax revenue, or fiscal impact, generated by each potential development scenario.
About JS&A
Jon Stover & Associates (JS&A) is an Economic Development Consulting firm located in Washington, DC. JS&A specializes in economic and fiscal impact analysis, real estate analysis, market analysis, and economic development strategy.

JS&A has completed over 50 development impact analyses for a range of municipalities and developers across the country.
Analysis Components
This study includes the following assessments for three potential redevelopment scenarios:
Economic Impact. Estimation of the number of jobs, total salaries and wages, and business revenue the three scenarios will create and support during construction and sustained operations.
Fiscal Impact. Fiscal impact assessment to understand the direct state and local tax revenues generated from these three scenarios during construction and stabilized operations.
Community Impact. Summary of how the three scenarios will benefit the surrounding community and align with
established local neighborhood and citywide goals.
Analysis Methodology
r
Data Sources
For the purpose of this study, IMPLAN, a software
and data provider, was used to (a) provide needed
data multipliers and (b) generate a model that uses
inputs from a development program to estimate the
corresponding impact on job and wage growth and
industry revenue. The analysis also uses
development program assumptions and building
permit and plan check fee estimates provided by the
City of Placentia.
Construction Vs. Operations
Two main development phases affect job growth: (a)
the period during site construction and (b) the period
of time once the project is stabilized and
approaching full occupancy. Site construction
generates temporary construction jobs and
associated fees and taxes. Once the subject site
operations stabilize, the primary sources of municipal
revenues are property taxes, sales taxes, and
Transient Occupancy Taxes (for hotel uses).
As such, the employment assessment is presented in
separate tables for (1) the planning and construction
period of the development and (2) expected annual
impacts of stabilized on -site operations once the site is fully developed and leased to residents and/or
commercial tenants.
Impact On Local Employment And Tax Revenue
Leveraging IMPLAN, which uses data and multipliers
specific to Orange County, the total expected jobs
were estimated for each type of tenant expected to
locate on -site. Economic impact figures are broken
down by direct, indirect, and induced impacts.
JS&A conducted an independent analysis of the
applicable state, local, and city taxes and fees to
determine the expected tax revenue generated by
development scenarios during both the period of
construction and during stabilized operations. Tax
revenue sources include sales taxes, property taxes,
building permit fees, impact fees, and various
planning and development fees. A net fiscal impact
analysis was conducted for the City of Placentia.
Gross fiscal impact figures were calculated for
Orange County and the State of California.
Note: Throughout this report, figures may not sum to
total impact figures, due to rounding.
Definitions of Key Terms
Economic Impact The impact of spending in a
particular industry or industries on a given
region.
Direct Impact The revenue, jobs, wages, and
other economic activity generated from the
operations of businesses or industries.
Indirect Impact The supply chain of goods and
services from other industries that enable
activity in a particular business or industries
(i.e., business -to -business transactions).
Induced Impact The results, or spending,
from personal income (salary and wages) that
is recirculated in the economy caused by the
direct and indirect impacts.
Fiscal Impact The amount of tax revenue
generated as a result of economic activity,
including sales tax, property tax, development
impact fees, and transient occupancy tax.
Net Fiscal Impact The amount of tax revenue
generated as a result of a development or
economic activity minus the amount of fiscal
expenditures necessitated by such development
or economic activity.
IMPLAN The industry -leading input-output
economic impact assessment modeling system
that models impacts of economic changes on a
specific region.

Subject Site Overview
The site location is surrounded primarily by auto -oriented commercial and industrial uses, with several car dealerships and low -density commercial buildings adjacent to the site. The site abuts Orangethorpe Avenue to the south and S Placentia Avenue to the west, two highly trafficked thoroughfares. The site is located just a half -mile from Orange Freeway, one mile from Riverside Freeway, and 3.5 miles from the Anaheim Canyon train station.
The subject site was previously occupied by Don-A-Vee Premier Chrysler Jeep and has been vacant since the dealership left the site in May 2018.
In the interim, there have been multiple offers to purchase or lease the subject site, including proposals from car dealerships, hotel developers, and other project types. The 35,073 SF one-story building previously occupied by Don-A-Vee Premier Chrysler Jeep remains on -site.

Conceptual Development Scenarios
The City of Placentia has identified three potential uses for the subject site to be assessed as part of this study. The City of Placentia selected these scenarios, which represent three potential development options, including two ground -up construction projects and a renovation of the existing on -site building, which would continue to be used as a car dealership. The impact analysis estimates the economic and fiscal impacts for each of these three scenarios. These scenarios vary in size and cost and their associated impact figures reflect these differences.
Residential Development © Hotel Development
• 5 -story residential building with 248
market -rate rental units
• 2,703 SF of ground -floor retail
• 7 -story parking garage with 248 parking
spaces
• Residential Gross Area: 250,681 SF
• Parking Gross Area: 151,900 SF
Note: Development scenario based on a conceptual
development program submitted to the City of
Placentia by Orangethorpe Investment Partners LLC in
August 2021. Final residential development program
will likely vary from this proposal.
• Upscale Hotel
• 123 Hotel Rooms
• 5,000 SF of retail
• Est. Hotel Gross Area: 86,015 SF
• No parking garages or other
parking structures
Note: Hotel development scenario based on submitted
development proposal for subject site from
established hotel operator. Estimated gross area
square footage based on 659 Gross Building Area SF
per hotel room average from set of comparable
hotels. The specific development program of a hotel at
the subject site may differ from this conceptual
scenario. A larger hotel concept would result in a
greater economic and fiscal impact approximately
proportional to the increase in on -site rooms.
eNew Car Development Use
• New car dealership tenant to operate within
existing 35,073 SF building.
• Renovation of existing on -site commercial
building. No new ground -up construction.
Note: This scenario assumes that the site will be used
by a new car dealership brand comparable to the
previous tenant (Chrysler Jeep). Impacts will vary
depending on the type of dealership. A used car
dealership may or may not result in lower impact
figures, as impact is dependent on annual sales and
on -site employment upon stabilized operations.

Economic Impact
The following section quantifies the economic impacts anticipated through the construction period and during stabilized operations for the three development scenarios. © Jon Stover & Associates, 2024
530
Economic Impact During Construction
One -Time Economic Impact by Development Scenario
The impact of a development's construction will be
generally proportional to its size and design quality.
As such, the largest and most expensive of the three
development scenarios, the residential development,
has a greater potential economic impact than the
hotel development during the period of construction.
The planning and construction of a redevelopment will generate both direct economic impacts (from spending by the developer during the planning and construction of the project) and secondary impacts that generate revenue and employment in other supporting industries that indirectly benefit from construction -related activity.
In total, the construction of a new residential development is expected to generate approximately $150 million of revenue in construction and supporting industries, 924 jobs, and $74.5 million in wages over the course of construction. Construction of a new hotel and accompanying retail space will support
approximately $47.8 million in revenue, 293 jobs, and $23.3 million in wages over the course of construction.
A new car dealership use would likely require extensive build -out costs given the poor quality of the existing on -site building. This renovation would support approximately 36 jobs over the course of the renovation, supporting $2.9 million in total wages.
This impact would increase if a new car dealership tenant decided to construct a new building on -site.

Economic Impact Upon Stabilized
Operations
Annual Economic Impact by Development Scenario
An on -site hotel use would support the
highest overall number of jobs and
wages among the three development
scenarios. This employment is
supported through a mix of on -site hotel
staff and spending by hotel guests.
An on -site hotel and its accompanying retail uses are
expected to directly support approximately 96 full-
time and part-time jobs on -site. This includes on -site hotel staff, retail staff, and jobs supported by local
spending from hotel guests. In total, these direct jobs will result in approximately $4.4 million in wages
annually.
The car dealership is expected to directly support
approximately 35 on -site jobs, $3.7 million in wages,
and $7.5 million in industry revenue annually. The
proposed residential development has the smallest
economic impact, supporting approximately 18 jobs
on -site. These 18 jobs include property management
staff, employees at the ground -floor retail space, and self-employed residents with home -based
businesses.

05 Fiscal Impact
The following section quantifies the tax revenue attributable to the three proposed development scenarios during construction and upon stabilized operations. © Jon Stover & Associates, 2024
533
Fiscal Impacts During
Construction
The residential development scenario is estimated to generate approximately $1.2 million in one-time tax revenue during its planning and construction — the highest fiscal impact of the three development scenarios.
This tax revenue is generated through
Building Permit fees, Plan Check fees, and
the Transfer Tax. New development will
generate a significant amount of
development impact fees, with fees for the
residential development scenario reaching
nearly $6.9 million. These development
impact fees include traffic impact fees,
sewer impact fees, and parks and
recreation impact fees that are incurred on
a per dwelling unit basis. These impact fees
are expected to be net -neutral revenues for
the City, as they would likely offset
associated increases in municipal services
costs.

Net Fiscal Impact of Stabilized
Operations for City of Placentia
The hotel development scenario would generate the
highest net fiscal return for the City of Placentia
among the three scenarios, generating
approximately $577,000 of additional annual General
Fund revenue upon reaching stabilized operations.
This strong fiscal return is largely driven by $575,733 in Transient Occupancy Tax revenue estimated to be generated annually. A hotel would also result in lower overall fiscal expenditures to accommodate on - site users, as hotel guests typically require fewer municipal services than full-time residents. In its first fifteen years of stabilized operations, it would generate a cumulative $9.1 million in General Fund revenue. A larger hotel development with more rooms would have a larger economic and fiscal impact that would be approximately proportional to the increase in rooms. For reference, a 150 -room hotel would have an annual fiscal impact of $697,000 upon stabilized operations, and cumulative net fiscal impact of $10.9 million in its first 15 years.
Conversely, the proposed residential development would have a negative net annual fiscal impact of $58,338 upon stabilized operations. This is due to the enhanced municipal services needed to serve the estimated 384 residents that would reside in the development. The residential scenario would generate a positive net return of approximately $361,808 over its first fifteen years (including one-time tax revenues during construction), significantly lower than the other two scenarios. It would take approximately 22 years for the negative annual fiscal losses to be offset by the $1.2 million in revenue generated during construction.
A new car dealership use would generate approximately $483,000 in annual tax revenue (predominantly generated through sales taxes), and require a very minimal increase in fiscal expenditures, resulting in an annual net fiscal impact of approximately $470,000.

OVERALL
IMPACT
539
Summary of Findings &
Implications for City of Placentia
The City of Placentia has conducted a significant amount of planning and research to assess the feasibility and impacts of various potential development scenarios at the subject site. This study leverages the prior due diligence conducted by the City, using submitted development proposals to inform assumptions and inputs for the economic, fiscal, and community impact analysis.
The impact analysis finds that a potential hotel development has the strongest overall economic, fiscal, and community impact on the City, compared to a residential development or new car dealership. A hotel use closely aligns with stated planning objectives to diversify revenue streams (by boosting Transient Occupancy Tax revenue), attract new retail businesses, create new job opportunities, and add mixed -use projects to major corridors. Furthermore, the hotel development scenario has the highest fiscal return to the City over a fifteen-yeartimeframe.
Conversely, the residential development is expected to produce a slight negative annual fiscal impact upon stabilized operations, given the increased municipal services required to serve new residents. The use also does not align with current Specific Plan 5 zoning. The City has designated other locations for this type of high -density residential use in areas that are more pedestrian -friendly, transit -accessible, and proximate to retail amenities. The retained use of a car dealership on -site would not align with stated planning objectives to densify along major corridors or add new community -serving retail. However, a new car dealership would still activate the now -vacant site and generate a positive fiscal impact for the City, due to the high volume of sales tax revenue generated on -site.
Considering the above factors, this study recommends prioritizing the redevelopment of the site as a hotel with on -site retail uses. It is important to note that this impact analysis is not a market analysis. The impact analysis assumes that each development scenario is financially viable and will be able to achieve a sufficient level of demand to sustain operations for at least fifteen years. The City has already received specific proposals to develop the site for each proposed use. Given this established interest from developers, a City -conducted market analysis is likely not necessary. However, the City may want to explore further market research if such demand weakens. 21540

Direct impact includes impact from on -site retail uses, hotel operations, and hotel guest spending.
Analysis estimates that on -site hotel guests will spend approximately $3.7 million at local Placentia retailers annually, based on Orange County tourism spending averages (Visit Anaheim, CIC Research, Inc.). Direct industry revenue impact is lower than this $3.7 million figure due to retail margin coefficients that factor in cost of transportation and the wholesale/retail services.

RE: The Laurel Mixed Use Project
Dear City Council,
We recently sat down with the developer of The Laurel mixed use project down the street from The Bruery and he has explained the project to us in detail. As you know, our business is growing and having a high quality project like this nearby will help us in the future. We are also exploring the possibility of being involved in the ground floor commercial space along Orangethorpe.
Being a member of the Placentia community is important to us and we think this project will help with that effort as well. We liked a lot about the project, especially the efforts to make the area more walkable and people friendly. Frankly we couldn't be more excited about what a project like this will mean for our business and the area as a whole. This project has our emphatic support.
Sincerely,
Barry Holmes
CEO

Comments by: Craig S. Green, Placentia Resident
Property is Zoned Commercial — has been for years
As a resident of Placentia, I prefer that the property remain a Commercial parcel and that it should continue to provide the City with income via sales taxes or TOT (Transiet Occupancy Tax) otherwise known as "bed tax", depending on what business comes to town. To rezone the parcel for residential, the revenues to the City would be limited and, at the same time, dramatically increase "calls for service" by our Police and Fire and Life Safety Departments and other services that increase costs to Placentia tax payers.
Previous City Council's failed this City by rejecting things like the Albertson's shopping center on Placentia Avenue, now in Fullerton, as well as the Home Depot over on Placentia Avenue, also in FULLERTON. Our City has missed out on millions of dollars of sales tax revenues over the decades as Fullerton as reaped them in. It's issues such as this that resulted in Placentia having such poor financial positions over the years. We know that there is great interest by hotel groups in this parcel and I certainly hope that is what takes place. I believe that the current owner of the parcel is tied up in escrow by this developer so he is limited, at the moment, with what he can do with this parcel. It appears that this developer may be counting on assistance from possible allies on the City Council to change things that may allow this development to proceed. I certainly hope that this is not the case. I'm sure that there will be some individuals pursuing Public Records Requests to ascertain whether donations may have been made by this developer to any political campaigns of individuals that he believes may try and help him get possible changes made to City Zoning, planning, etc. to help his project proceed. Again, I certainly hope not.
Apartments: not zoned for that; Apartments would increase problems with parking issues on Orangethorpe and Placentia Avenues, regardless of any
possible signage changes/additions; Are the parking plans for this proposed development consistent with current law? Does the parking plan for this development provide for "Sane parking" availability or "Insane parking" that would cause drastic problems in the area surrounding the parcel. This area is NOT a Transit Oriented Development that usually relies on limited parking requirements due to perceived use of things like trains and busses that, in a TOD, would be close to the parcel being developed, such as the parcels on Crowther with the planned Metro -Link station. What about increased sewer needs? What about increased traffic developments? What about increased water and power requirements? Take a drive down Chapman avenue from Bradford to Orangethorpe some evening after about 7pm. You'll see, first hand, a great reason to NOT put an apartment complex on 777 Orangethorpe.
People being people, I believe that parking on Orangethorpe in such a massive scale would create incredible safety problems, traffic accidents, pedestrian vs. vehicle incidents and street cleaning problems.
Thank You for the opportunity to provide some input on this item.

Planning Commission Meeting July 9, 2024
Good evening Chair Perez, Planning Commissioners and City Staff: My name is Craig Green and I'm here this evening to address this agenda item dealing with 777 Orangethorpe. For over 20 years I've tracked the fiscal health of Placentia and fought very hard to help make it better. I was on the Audit Oversight Committee, a member of this Planning Commission and was Chair as well. I went on to be the City Treasurer, City Councitmember and Mayor so I am very familiar with the past history of our City missing opportunities for developing sustainable revenue sources to help keep our City fiscally afloat and I hope that you vote to deny the application. That Property is Zoned Commercial— and as a resident of Placentia, I prefer that the property remain a Commercial parcel to be developed in such a way as to provide the City with ongoing revenue via sales taxes or Transient Occupancy Tax otherwise known as "bed tax", depending on what business comes to town. Some have said that the sight is blighted and looks terrible and I would have to agree with that BUT, that's only because the developer involved with this project has tied the parcel up in some kind of an escrow scheme with the owner and I'm sure they don't want to put any money into upkeep while, at the same time, the escrow arrangement seems to also dissuade other developers from pursuing other possibilities. I've been told that there is considerable interest in that parcel from many hotel groups. Rezoning and developing the parcel for residential use would result in some severe traffic and personnel safety issues as well as limited revenues to the City while, at the same time, dramatically increasing "calls for service" by our Police and Fire and Life Safety Departments and other services that would increase costs to Placentia taxpayers. Previous Planning Commissions and City Council's years ago failed this City by rejecting things like annexing the Albertson's shopping center on Placentia Avenue, now in Fullerton, as well as the Home Depot over on Placentia Avenue, also in FULLERTON. Our City has missed out on millions of dollars of

sales tax revenues over the decades as Fullerton has reaped them in. It's issues such as this that resulted in Placentia having such poor financial positions over the years. It wasn't that many years ago that we closed the City's fiscal year with only $49 in the bank,,,$49!!!! We know that there is great interest by hotel groups in this parcel and I certainly hope that is what takes place. I believe that the current owner of the parcel is tied up in escrow by this developer so he is limited, at the moment, with what he can do with this parcel
Apartments, REALLY?: not zoned for that; Apartments would increase parking issues on Orangethorpe and Placentia Avenues, regardless of any possible signage changes/additions. The presentation for this project shows the construction of 248 apartments and a parking structure that provides 342 parking spaces. If we calculate a VERY CONSERVATIVE number of 2 cars per apartment (more likely 3-4), this plan is starting out with a 158 parking space deficit. I'm sure the developer will try and sell the idea that parking is not necessary with bus and train transportation in close proximity to the site. The developer is also trying to sell the idea of using parts of the proposed parking structure to provide parking for the proposed 3,000 square feet of retail use.
Experience and reality itself, prove those thought processes to be pure folly.
This area is NOT a Transit Oriented Development PERIOD!! What about increased sewer needs? What about increased traffic developments? What about increased water and power requirements? Take a drive down Chapman avenue from Bradford to Orangethorpe some evening after about 7pm. You'll see, firsthand, a great reason to NOT put an apartment complex on 777 Orangethorpe, especially one with built in parking problems. People being people, I believe that parking spilling out onto Orangethorpe on such a massive scale would create incredible safety problems, traffic accidents, pedestrian vs. vehicle incidents and street cleaning problems. Please do NOT change the zoning of the parcel in question and do NOT approve this short- sighted project. This would NOT only increase costs to the city but would also create a very unsafe environment within our own City limits.
Thank You for the opportunity to provide some input on this item.

Dear Planning Comission,
My name is Lilia Queen and I'm a resident of Placentia. I've lived at 835 Iowa Place for the last 23 years. I haven't seen many improvements in our area during this time and I'm hoping that the construction of an apartment complex at the old Jeep Dealership will help kick start a renovation phase for the south side.
I've seen the beautification that the apartments at Crowther have brought to that neighborhood and I'm hopeful that the same will happen on Placentia and Orangethorp. However, I do hope the developer has a serious plan regarding the parking situation if stores at the street level are brought in. Our neighborhood has ran into issues when the brewery has hosted events that cause their patrons to park in our neighborhood and leaving trash behind.
I hope the city considers this development to help bring improvements to the south side instead of having an empty lot full of weeds, trash and graffiti.
1 Sincerely,
Lille

Re: Comment on Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use Project
Dear Chair Perez, Honorable Members of the City of Placentia Planning Commission, Director Lambert, and Mr. Gonzales:
This comment is submitted on behalf of Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility ("SAFER") and its members living and working in and around Placentia regarding the mitigated negative declaration ("MND") prepared for the Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use Project ("Project"), which proposes the development of 248 multi -family residential dwelling units, up to 3,000 square feet of commercial retail use, and a 7 -level parking structure, located at 776 S. Placentia Avenue & 777 W. Orangethorpe Avenue, in the City of Placentia.
SAFER's review of the MND was assisted by Certified Industrial Hygienist, Francis Offermann, PE, CIH, and air quality experts Matt Hagemann, P.G., C.Hg., and Paul E.
Rosenfeld, Ph.D., of the Soil/Water/Air Protection Enterprise ("SWAPE"). The written comments of Mr. Offermann and SWAPE are attached hereto as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively. As discussed below, SAFER is concerned that several of the MND's conclusions are not supported by substantial evidence and that there is a fair argument that the Project may result in significant environmental impact. As such, SAFER is requesting that the City prepare an environmental impact report ("EIR") in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Project includes the demolition of the existing car dealership structures and parking lot and the new construction and operation of a five -story mixed use project that would include 248 residential units, up to 3,000 square feet of commercial uses, and a 78 -foot high, 7 -level parking structure at the northeast corner of the Project site. The Project requires approval of General Plan Amendment 2022-01, Specific Plan Amendment 2021-01, and Development Review Plan 2021-02.
LEGAL STANDARD FOR NEGATIVE DECLARATIONS
As the California Supreme Court held, "[i]fno EIR has been prepared for a nonexempt project, but substantial evidence in the record supports a fair argument that the project may result in significant adverse impacts, the proper remedy is to order preparation of an EIR." (Communities for a Better Env't v. South Coast Air Quality Mgmt. Dist. (2010) 48 Ca1.4th 310, 319-20.) "Significant environmental effect" is defined very broadly as "a substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in the environment." (Pub. Res. Code ("PRC") § 21068; see also 14 CCR § 15382.) An effect on the environment need not be "momentous" to meet the CEQA test for significance; it is enough that the impacts are "not trivial." (No Oil, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles (1974) 13 Ca1.3d 68, 83.) "The `foremost principle' in interpreting CEQA is that the Legislature intended the act to be read so as to afford the fullest possible protection to the environment within the reasonable scope of the statutory language." (Communities for a Better Env't v. Cal. Res. Agency (2002) 103 Ca1.App.4th 98, 109.) The EIR is the very heart of CEQA. (Bakersfield Citizens for Local Control v. City of Bakersfield (2004) 124 Ca1.App.4th 1184, 1214; Pocket Protectors v. City of Sacramento (2004) 124 Ca1.App.4th 903, 927.) The EIR is an "environmental `alarm bell' whose purpose is to alert the public and its responsible officials to environmental changes before they have reached the ecological points of no return." (Bakersfield Citizens, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 1220.) The EIR also functions as a "document of accountability," intended to "demonstrate to an apprehensive citizenry that the agency has, in fact, analyzed and considered the ecological implications of its action." (Laurel Heights Improvements Assn. v. Regents of Univ. of Cal. (1988) 47 Ca1.3d 376, 392.) The EIR process "protects not only the environment but also informed self-government." (Pocket Protectors, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 927.)
An EIR is required if "there is substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the lead agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment." (PRC § 21080(d); see also Pocket Protectors, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 927.) An MND instead of an EIR is proper only if project revisions would avoid or mitigate the potentially significant effects identified in the initial study "to a point where clearly no significant effect on the environment would occur, and . . . there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record before the public agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment." (Mejia v. City of Los Angeles (2005) 130 Ca1.App.4th 322, 331 [quoting PRC §§ 21064.5, 564
Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use MND
SAFER Comment

21080(c)(2)].) In that context, "may" means a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment. (PRC §§ 21082.2(a), 21100, 21151(a); Pocket Protectors, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 927; League for Protection of Oakland's etc. Historic Res. v. City of Oakland (1997) 52 Ca1.App.4th 896, 904-05.)
An EIR must be prepared rather than an MND "whenever it can be fairly argued on the basis of substantial evidence that the project may have a significant environmental impact." (No Oil, Inc., 13 Ca1.3d at 75.) Under this "fair argument" standard, an EIR is required if any substantial evidence in the record indicates that a project may have an adverse environmental effect —even if contrary evidence exists to support the agency's decision. (14 CCR § 15064(f)(1); Pocket Protectors, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 931; Stanislaus Audubon Society v. County of Stanislaus (1995) 33 Ca1.App.4th 144, 150-51; Quail Botanical Gardens Found., Inc. v. City of Encinitas (1994) 29 Ca1.App.4th 1597, 1602.) The "fair argument" standard creates a "low threshold" favoring environmental review through an EIR rather than through issuance of negative declarations or notices of exemption from CEQA. (Pocket Protectors, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 928.)
The "fair argument" standard is virtually the opposite of the typical deferential standard accorded to agencies. As a leading CEQA treatise explains:
This 'fair argument' standard is very different from the standard normally followed by public agencies in making administrative determinations.
Ordinarily, public agencies weigh the evidence in the record before them and reach a decision based on a preponderance of the evidence. [Citations]. The fair argument standard, by contrast, prevents the lead agency from weighing competing evidence to determine who has a better argument concerning the likelihood or extent of a potential environmental impact. The lead agency's decision is thus largely legal rather than factual; it does not resolve conflicts in the evidence but determines only whether substantial evidence exists in the record to support the prescribed fair argument.
(Kostka & Zishcke, Practice Under CEQA, §6.29, pp. 273-74.) The Courts have explained that "it is a question of law, not fact, whether a fair argument exists, and the courts owe no deference to the lead agency's determination. Review is de novo, with a preference for resolving doubts in favor of environmental review." (Pocket Protectors, 124 Ca1.App.4th at 928.)
DISCUSSION
I. An EIR is Required to Disclose and Mitigate the Project's Significant Air Quality Impacts from Emissions of VOCs.
Matt Hagemann, P.G., C.Hg., and Dr. Paul E. Rosenfeld, Ph.D., of the environmental consulting firm SWAPE reviewed the MND's analysis of the Project's air quality impacts.
SWAPE's comment letter and CVs are attached as Exhibit B. As discussed below, SWAPE 565
Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use MND

July 8, 2024
concluded that the MND underestimated the Project's emissions and failed to identify a significant impact from emissions of volatile organic compounds ("VOCs"). An EIR is required to disclose and mitigate this impact.
A. The MND's analysis of the Project's air quality impacts is not supported by substantial evidence.
SWAPE found that the MND underestimated the Project's emissions and therefore cannot be relied upon to determine the significance of the Project's air quality impacts. (Ex. B, pp. 1-4.) To estimate the Project's emissions, the MND utilized the California Emissions Estimator Model Version Ca1EEMod.2020.4.0 ("CaIEEMod"). (Ex. B, p. 1.) CaIEEMod relies on recommended default values based on site specific information related to a number of factors (Id.) CEQA requires that any changes to the default values must be justified by substantial evidence. (Ex. B, pp. 1-2.)
SWAPE reviewed the Project's CaIEEMod output files and found that the values input into the model were inconsistent with information provided in the MND. (Ex. B, p. 2.) This results in an underestimation of the Project's emissions. (Id.) Specifically, SWAPE found that the following values used in the MND's air quality analysis were either inconsistent with information provided in the MND or otherwise unjustified:
1. Unsubstantiated changes to individual construction phase lengths. (Ex. B, pp. 2-
3.)
2. Unsubstantiated reductions to acres of grading values. (Ex. B, pp. 3-4.) As a result of these errors, the MND underestimates the Project's construction and operational emissions and cannot be relied upon to determine the significance of the Project's air quality impacts.
B. The Project will result in a significant air quality impact from emissions of VOCs.
In an effort to accurately determine the proposed Project's construction and operational emissions, SWAPE prepared an updated CaIEEMod with the site -specific information provided in the MND. (Ex. B, pp. 4-5.) SWAPE's updated model corrected the MND's changes to the construction phase lengths and acres of grading values. (Id.) SWAPE's updated analysis found that the Project's construction -related VOC emissions exceed the 75 pounds per day ("lbs/day") significance threshold set by South Coast Air Quality Management District ("SCAQMD").

SWAPE's expert analysis of the Project's air quality impacts establishes a fair argument that the Project may result in significant VOC impacts. SWAPE also provided a number of mitigation measures that could be applied to the Project to reduce air quality impacts. (Ex. B, pp. 15-17.) Under CEQA, SWAPE's fair argument requires the preparation of an EIR to disclose and mitigate this impact.
II. An EIR is Required to Disclose and Mitigate the Project's Significant Health Impacts from Emissions of Diesel Particulate Matter.
SWAPE also reviewed the Project's impacts on human health due to emissions of diesel particulate matter ("DPM"). SWAPE concluded that the MND failed to identify a significant impact from emissions of DPM. An EIR is required to disclose and mitigate this impact.
A. The MND failed to adequately analyze the Project's health impacts from emissions of diesel particulate matter.
The MND's analysis of the cancer risk posed by emissions of DPM was inadequate. The MND failed to provide a quantitative analysis of the emissions resulting from construction or operation of the Project. (Ex. B, p. 4-5.) The MND's failure to conduct a quantified health risk assessment ("HRA") for the Project's construction and operational emissions resulted in an inadequate evaluation of the Project's impacts and calls into question the MND's less -than - significant conclusion.
As noted by SWAPE, CEQA requires that the MND "correlate the increase in emissions that the Project would generate to the adverse impacts on human health caused by those emissions." (Ex. B, p. 6.) However, such an analysis is not possible without a quantified HRA.
Furthermore, the failure of the MND to provide a quantified HRA is inconsistent with the most recent guidance of the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment ("OEHHA"). (Ex. B, pp. 6-7.) OEHHA recommends that exposure from projects lasting more than 6 months be evaluated for the duration of the project and recommends that an exposure duration of 30 years be used to estimate individual cancer risk for the maximally exposed individual resident ("MEIR"). (Id.) OEHHA additionally recommends that agencies evaluate the cumulative impact of construction and operation of the Project combined. (Id.) Thus, a quantified HRA for 567
Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use MND

July 8, 2024
construction and operation of the Project is necessary to ensure that the Project's health risks are disclosed, compared to the applicable SCAQMD significance thresholds, and properly mitigated.
B. The Project may result in significant increased cancer risks from emissions of diesel particulate matter.
SWAPE prepared a screening -level HRA to evaluate potential impacts to human health from DPM during construction and operation of the Project. (Ex. B, pp. 7-12.) SWAPE used AERSCREEN, the leading screening -level air quality dispersion model. (Ex. B, pp. 7-9.) SWAPE relied on estimates of diesel particulate emissions from the MND's air quality analysis, utilized a sensitive receptor distance of 75 meters, and analyzed impacts to individuals at different stages of life based on OEHHA guidance. (Ex. B, pp. 10-11.) SWAPE found that increased cancer risk to infants, children, and adults during construction and operation of the Project would be 101, 85.2, and 13.1 in one million, respectively. (Ex. B, p. 11.) The combined cancer risks of construction and operation of the Project would result in an excess cancer risk of approximately 204 in one million over the course of a residential lifetime (i.e. 30 years). (Id.) Each of the above exceeds the SCAQMD's significance threshold of 10 in one million. Therefore, SWAPE's expert analysis of the Project's significant cancer risks established a fair argument that the Project may result in significant impacts. SWAPE also provided a number of mitigation measures that could be applied to the Project to reduce air quality impacts. (Ex. B, pp. 15-17.) Under CEQA, SWAPE's fair argument requires that the City prepare an EIR to disclose and mitigate this impact.
III. An EIR is Required to Disclose and Mitigate the Project's Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
SWAPE analyzed the Project's potential greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions and found that the MND failed to adequately analyze the Project's GHG impacts, which SWAPE found to be potentially significant. (Ex. B pp. 12-14.)
The MND incorrectly concludes that the Project will have a less than significant GHG impact because it does not exceed 4.0 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per service population per year ("MT CO2e/SP/year"). However, as SWAPE explains, the MND relied on an outdated service population threshold of 4.0 MT CO2e/SP/year. (Ex. B, p. 13.) SWAPE explains that the MND's reliance on that threshold is incorrect because "the guidance that provided the 4.0 MT CO2e/year threshold, the SCAQMD's 2008 Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules, and Plans report," is outdated, as it "was developed when [AB 32] was the governing statute for GHG reductions in California," which required "reduc[ing] GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020." (Id.)1 Since it is currently July 1 See also, "Beyond Newhall and 2020: A Field Guide to New CEQA Greenhouse Gas Thresholds and Climate Action Plan Targets for California," Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP), Oct. 2016, p. 39, available at: https://califaep.org/docs/AEP-2016 Final White Paper.pdf ["[F]or evaluating projects with a post -2020 horizon, 568

2024, thresholds for 2020 are not applicable to the Project. (Ex. B, p. 13.) Instead, the MND should have applied the SCAQMD 2035 service population threshold of 3.0 MT CO2e/SP/year to the Project. (Id.)
The calculation to determine if the project would exceed the SCAQMD 2035 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold involves dividing the Project's net GHG emissions by the number of residents and jobs supported by the Project. (Id., p. 14.) The MND estimated that the Project would result in GHG emissions of 2,651.2 MT CO2e/year. (MND, p. 78.) The MND also estimated that the Project would accommodate a maximum of 744 residents and employ a maximum of 7 retail employees. (Id.) When dividing the Project's net GHG emissions by the service population of 751 people, SWAPE calculated that the Project exceeds SCAMQD's 3.0 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold:

(Ex. B, p. 14.) This exceedance of the SCAMQD's 3.0 MT CO2e/SP/year threshold indicates a significant GHG impact that must be disclosed and mitigated in an EIR. SWAPE also provided a number of mitigation measures that could be applied to the Project to reduce GHG impacts. (Ex.
B, pp. 15-17.)
IV. An EIR is Required Because there is a Fair Argument that the Project May Have a Significant Impact on Human Health.
The MND fails to discuss, disclose, analyze, and mitigate the significant health risks posed by the Project from formaldehyde, a toxic air contaminant ("TAC"). Certified Industrial Hygienist, Francis Offermann, PE, CIH conducted a review of the Project and relevant documents regarding the Project's indoor air emissions. Mr. Offermann is one of the world's leading experts on indoor air quality and has published extensively on the topic. As discussed below and in Mr. Offermann's comments, the Project's emissions of formaldehyde will result in very significant cancer risks to future residents of the Project's residential units. Mr. Offerman's comments and CV is attached as Exhibit A.
the threshold will need to be revised based on a new gap analysis that would examine development and reduction potentials out to the next GHG reduction milestone."].) 569
Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use MND
SAFER Comment
July 8, 2024
Formaldehyde is a known human carcinogen and is listed by the State as a TAC. The SCAQMD has established a significance threshold of health risks for carcinogenic TACs of 10 in one million. (Ex. A, p. 2.) The MND fails to acknowledge the significant indoor air emissions that will result from the Project. Specifically, there is no discussion of impacts or health risks, no analysis, and no identification of mitigations for significant emissions of formaldehyde from the Project.
Mr. Offermann explains that many composite wood products typically used in home and apartment building construction contain formaldehyde -based glues which off -gas formaldehyde over a very long period. He states, "[t]he primary source of formaldehyde indoors is composite wood products manufactured with urea -formaldehyde resins, such as plywood, medium density fiberboard, and particleboard. These materials are commonly used in building construction for flooring, cabinetry, baseboards, window shades, interior doors, and window and door trims." (Ex. A, pp. 2-3.)
Mr. Offermann found that future residents of the Project's residential units will be exposed to a cancer risk of 120 per million, even assuming all materials are compliant with the California Air Resources Board's ("CARB") formaldehyde airborne toxics control measure. (Ex.
A, pp. 3-4) This is more than 12 times SCAQMD's CEQA significance threshold of 10 per million.
Mr. Offermann also found that there is a fair argument that future employees of the commercial spaces will be exposed to a cancer risk from formaldehyde of approximately 17.7 per million, even assuming all materials are compliant with CARB's formaldehyde airborne toxics control measure. (Id., pp. 4-5.) This exceeds the SCAQMD CEQA significance threshold for airborne cancer risk of 10 per million. (Id.)
Mr. Offermann concludes that these significant environmental impacts must be analyzed in an EIR and mitigation measures should be imposed to reduce the risk of formaldehyde exposure. (Ex. A, pp. 5, 12-14.) He prescribes a methodology for estimating the Project's formaldehyde emissions in order to do a more project -specific health risk assessment. (Id., pp. 6-
10.) Mr. Offermann also suggests several feasible mitigation measures, such as requiring the use of no -added -formaldehyde composite wood products, which are readily available. (Id., pp. 12-
14.) Mr. Offermann also suggests requiring air ventilation systems which would reduce formaldehyde levels. (Id.) Since the MND does not analyze this impact at all, none of these or other mitigation measures have been considered.
When a Project exceeds a duly adopted CEQA significance threshold, as here, this alone establishes substantial evidence that the project will have a significant adverse environmental impact. Indeed, in many instances, such air quality thresholds are the only criteria reviewed and treated as dispositive in evaluating the significance of a project's air quality impacts. (See, e.g.
Schenck v. County of Sonoma (2011) 198 Ca1.App.4th 949, 960 [County applies Air District's "published CEQA quantitative criteria" and "threshold level of cumulative significance"]; see 570
Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use MND
SAFER Comment
July 8, 2024
also Communities for a Better Env 't v. Cal. Res. Agency (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 98, 110-111 ["A `threshold of significance' for a given environmental effect is simply that level at which the lead agency finds the effects of the project to be significant"].) The California Supreme Court made clear the substantial importance that an air district significance threshold plays in providing substantial evidence of a significant adverse impact. (Communities for a Better Env 't v. South Coast Air Quality Management Dist. (2010) 48 Ca1.4th 310, 327 ["As the District's established significance threshold for NOx is 55 pounds per day, these estimates [of NOx emissions of 201 to 456 pounds per day] constitute substantial evidence supporting a fair argument for a significant adverse impact."].) Since expert evidence demonstrates that the Project will exceed the SCAQMD's CEQA significance threshold, there is substantial evidence that an "unstudied, potentially significant environmental effect[]" exists. (See, Friends of Coll. of San Mateo Gardens v. San Mateo Cty. Cmty. Coll. Dist. (2016) 1 Ca1.5th 937, 958 [emphasis added].)
The failure of the MND to address the Project's formaldehyde emissions is contrary to the California Supreme Court's decision in California Building Industry Ass 'n v. Bay Area Air Quality Mgmt. Dist. ("CBIA") (2015) 62 Ca1.4th 369, 386. In that case, the Supreme Court expressly holds that potential adverse impacts to future users and residents from pollution generated by a proposed project must be addressed under CEQA. At issue in CBIA was whether the Air District could enact CEQA guidelines that advised lead agencies that they must analyze the impacts of adjacent environmental conditions on a project. The Supreme Court held that CEQA does not generally require lead agencies to consider the environment's effects on a project. (CBIA, 62 Ca1.4th at 800-01.) However, to the extent a project may exacerbate existing environmental conditions at or near a project site, those would still have to be considered pursuant to CEQA. (Id. at 801.) In so holding, the Court expressly held that CEQA's statutory language required lead agencies to disclose and analyze "impacts on a project's users or residents that arise from the project's effects on the environment." (Id. at 800 [emphasis added].)
The carcinogenic formaldehyde emissions identified by Mr. Offermann are not an existing environmental condition. Those emissions will be from the Project. People will be residing in the Project's buildings once built and emitting formaldehyde. Once built, the Project will begin to emit formaldehyde at levels that pose significant direct and cumulative health risks. The Supreme Court in CBIA expressly finds that this type of air emission and health impact by the project on the environment and a "project's users and residents" must be addressed in the CEQA process. The existing TAC sources near the Project site would have to be considered in evaluating the cumulative effect on future residents of both the Project's TAC emissions as well as those existing off -site emissions.
The Supreme Court's reasoning is well-grounded in CEQA's statutory language. CEQA expressly includes a project's effects on human beings as an effect on the environment that must be addressed in an environmental review. "Section 21083(b)(3)'s express language, for example, requires a finding of a `significant effect on the environment' (§ 21083(b)) whenever the 571
Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use MND
SAFER Comment
July 8, 2024
`environmental effects of a project will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. ' (CBIA, 62 Ca1.4th at 800.) Likewise, "the Legislature has made clear —in declarations accompanying CEQA's enactment —that public health and safety are of great importance in the statutory scheme." (Id. [citing e.g., PRC §§ 21000, 21001].) It goes without saying that the future residents of the Project are human beings and their health and safety must be subject to CEQA's safeguards.
The City has a duty to investigate issues relating to a project's potential environmental impacts. (See, County Sanitation Dist. No. 2 v. County of Kern, (2005) 127 Ca1.App.4th 1544, 1597-98. ["[U]nder CEQA, the lead agency bears a burden to investigate potential environmental impacts."].) The proposed buildings will have significant impacts on air quality and health risks by emitting cancer -causing levels of formaldehyde into the air that will expose future residents to cancer risks potentially in excess of SCAQMD's threshold of significance for cancer health risks of 10 in a million. Currently, outside of Mr. Offermann's comments, the City does not have any idea what risks will be posed by formaldehyde emissions from the Project. As a result, the City must include an analysis and discussion in an EIR which discloses and analyzes the health risks that the Project's formaldehyde emissions may have on future residents and identifies appropriate mitigation measures.
Mr. Offermann's comments are substantial evidence that the Project may have a significant impact on human health, necessitating preparation of an EIR.
CONCLUSION
As discussed above, the MND fails to provide substantial evidence to support several of its conclusions related to the Project's impacts to air quality, human health, and greenhouse gases. Furthermore, SAFER's experts have established a fair argument that the Project may have significant impacts on air quality, human health, and greenhouse gases. For those reasons, SAFER respectfully requests that the City not rely on the MND but instead prepare and circulate an EIR prior to further consideration of the Project.

Indoor Air Quality Impacts
Indoor air quality (IAQ) directly impacts the comfort and health of building occupants, and the achievement of acceptable IAQ in newly constructed and renovated buildings is a well - recognized design objective. For example, IAQ is addressed by major high-performance building rating systems and building codes (California Building Standards Commission, 2014; USGBC, 2014). Indoor air quality in homes is particularly important because occupants, on average, spend approximately ninety percent of their time indoors with the majority of this time spent at home (EPA, 2011). Some segments of the population that are most susceptible to the effects of poor IAQ, such as the very young and the elderly, occupy their homes almost continuously. Additionally, an increasing number of adults are working from home at least some of the time during the workweek. Indoor air quality also is a serious concern for workers in hotels, offices and other business establishments.
The concentrations of many air pollutants often are elevated in homes and other buildings relative to outdoor air because many of the materials and products used indoors contain and release a variety of pollutants to air (Hodgson et al., 2002; Offermann and Hodgson, 574
2011). With respect to indoor air contaminants for which inhalation is the primary route of exposure, the critical design and construction parameters are the provision of adequate ventilation and the reduction of indoor sources of the contaminants.
Indoor Formaldehyde Concentrations Impact. In the California New Horne Study (CNHS) of 108 new homes in California (Offermann, 2009), 25 air contaminants were measured, and formaldehyde was identified as the indoor air contaminant with the highest cancer risk as determined by the California Proposition 65 Safe Harbor Levels (OEHHA, 2017a), No Significant Risk Levels (NSRL) for carcinogens. The NSRL is the daily intake level calculated to result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000 (i.e., ten in one million cancer risk) and for formaldehyde is 40 µg/day. The NSRL concentration of formaldehyde that represents a daily dose of 40 µg is 2 µg/m3, assuming a continuous 24 -hour exposure, a total daily inhaled air volume of 20 m3, and 100% absorption by the respiratory system. All of the CNHS homes exceeded this NSRL concentration of 2 µg/m3. The median indoor formaldehyde concentration was 36 µg/m3, and ranged from 4.8 to 136 µg/m3, which corresponds to a median exceedance of the 2 µg/m3 NSRL concentration of 18 and a range of 2.3 to 68.
Therefore, the cancer risk of a resident living in a California home with the median indoor formaldehyde concentration of 36 µg/m3, is 180 per million as a result of formaldehyde alone. The CEQA significance threshold for airborne cancer risk is 10 per million, as established by the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD, 2021).
Besides being a human carcinogen, formaldehyde is also a potent eye and respiratory irritant. In the CNHS, many homes exceeded the non -cancer reference exposure levels (RELs) prescribed by California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA, 2017b). The percentage of homes exceeding the RELs ranged from 98% for the Chronic REL of 9 µg/m3 to 28% for the Acute REL of 55 µg/m3.
The primary source of formaldehyde indoors is composite wood products manufactured with urea -formaldehyde resins, such as plywood, medium density fiberboard, and 2of19
575
particleboard. These materials are commonly used in building construction for flooring, cabinetry, baseboards, window shades, interior doors, and window and door trims.
In January 2009, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted an airborne toxics control measure (ATCM) to reduce formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, including hardwood plywood, particleboard, medium density fiberboard, and also furniture and other finished products made with these wood products (California Air Resources Board 2009). While this formaldehyde ATCM has resulted in reduced emissions from composite wood products sold in California, they do not preclude that homes built with composite wood products meeting the CARB ATCM will have indoor formaldehyde concentrations below cancer and non -cancer exposure guidelines.
A follow up study to the California New Home Study (CNHS) was conducted in 2016-2018 (Singer et. al., 2019), and found that the median indoor formaldehyde in new homes built after 2009 with CARB Phase 2 Formaldehyde ATCM materials had lower indoor formaldehyde concentrations, with a median indoor concentrations of 22.4 µg/m3 (18.2 ppb) as compared to a median of 36 µg/m3 found in the 2007 CNHS. Unlike in the CNHS study where formaldehyde concentrations were measured with pumped DNPH samplers, the formaldehyde concentrations in the HENGH study were measured with passive samplers, which were estimated to under -measure the true indoor formaldehyde concentrations by approximately 7.5%. Applying this correction to the HENGH indoor formaldehyde concentrations results in a median indoor concentration of 24.1 µg/m3, which is 33% lower than the 36 µg/m3 found in the 2007 CNHS.
Thus, while new homes built after the 2009 CARB formaldehyde ATCM have a 33% lower median indoor formaldehyde concentration and cancer risk, the median lifetime cancer risk is still 120 per million for homes built with CARB compliant composite wood products.
This median lifetime cancer risk is more than 12 times the OEHHA 10 in a million cancer risk threshold (OEHHA, 2017a).
With respect to the Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use Project, Placentia, CA, the buildings consist of residential and commercial spaces.

576
The residential occupants will potentially have continuous exposure (e.g. 24 hours per day, 52 weeks per year). These exposures are anticipated to result in significant cancer risks resulting from exposures to formaldehyde released by the building materials and furnishing commonly found in residential construction.
Because these residences will be constructed with CARB Phase 2 Formaldehyde ATCM materials, and be ventilated with the minimum code required amount of outdoor air, the indoor residential formaldehyde concentrations are likely similar to those concentrations observed in residences built with CARB Phase 2 Formaldehyde ATCM materials, which is a median of 24.1 µg/m3 (Singer et. al., 2020)
Assuming that the residential occupants inhale 20 m3 of air per day, the average 70 -year lifetime formaldehyde daily dose is 482 µg/day for continuous exposure in the residences.
This exposure represents a cancer risk of 120 per million, which is more than 12 times the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million. For occupants that do not have continuous exposure, the cancer risk will be proportionally less but still substantially over the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million (e.g. for 12/hour/day occupancy, more than 6 times the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million).
The employees of the commercial spaces are expected to experience significant indoor exposures (e.g., 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). These exposures for employees are anticipated to result in significant cancer risks resulting from exposures to formaldehyde released by the building materials and furnishing commonly found in offices, warehouses, residences and hotels.
Because the commercial spaces will be constructed with CARB Phase 2 Formaldehyde ATCM materials, and ventilated with the minimum code required amount of outdoor air, the indoor formaldehyde concentrations are likely similar to those concentrations observed in residences built with CARB Phase 2 Formaldehyde ATCM materials, which is a median of 24.1 µg/m3 (Singer et. al., 2020)
4of19
577
Assuming that the employees of commercial spaces work 8 hours per day and inhale 20 m3 of air per day, the formaldehyde dose per work -day at the offices is 161 µg/day.
Assuming that these employees work 5 days per week and 50 weeks per year for 45 years (start at age 20 and retire at age 65) the average 70 -year lifetime formaldehyde daily dose is 70.9 µg/day.
This is 1.77 times the NSRL (OEHHA, 2017a) of 40 µg/day and represents a cancer risk of 17.7 per million, which exceeds the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million. This impact should be analyzed in an environmental impact report ("EIR"), and the agency should impose all feasible mitigation measures to reduce this impact. Several feasible mitigation measures are discussed below and these and other measures should be analyzed in an EIR.
In addition, we note that the average outdoor air concentration of formaldehyde in California is 3 ppb, or 3.7 µg/m3, (California Air Resources Board, 2004), and thus represents an average pre-existing background airborne cancer risk of 1.85 per million.
Thus, the indoor air formaldehyde exposures describe above exacerbate this pre-existing risk resulting from outdoor air formaldehyde exposures.
Additionally, the SCAQMD's Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study ("MATES V") identifies an existing cancer risk at the Project site of 443 per million due to the site's elevated ambient air contaminant concentrations, which are due to the area's high levels of vehicle traffic. These impacts would further exacerbate the pre-existing cancer risk to the building occupants, which result from exposure to formaldehyde in both indoor and outdoor air.
Appendix A, Indoor Formaldehyde Concentrations and the CARB Formaldehyde ATCM, provides analyses that show utilization of CARB Phase 2 Formaldehyde ATCM materials will not ensure acceptable cancer risks with respect to formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products.
5of19
578
Even composite wood products manufactured with CARB certified ultra low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins do not insure that the indoor air will have concentrations of formaldehyde the meet the OEHHA cancer risks that substantially exceed 10 per million.
The permissible emission rates for ULEF composite wood products are only 11-15% lower than the CARB Phase 2 emission rates. Only use of composite wood products made with no -added formaldehyde resins (NAF), such as resins made from soy, polyvinyl acetate, or methylene diisocyanate can insure that the OEHHA cancer risk of 10 per million is met.
The following describes a method that should be used, prior to construction in the environmental review under CEQA, for determining whether the indoor concentrations resulting from the formaldehyde emissions of specific building materials/furnishings selected exceed cancer and non -cancer guidelines. Such a design analyses can be used to identify those materials/furnishings prior to the completion of the City's CEQA review and project approval, that have formaldehyde emission rates that contribute to indoor concentrations that exceed cancer and non -cancer guidelines, so that alternative lower emitting materials/furnishings may be selected and/or higher minimum outdoor air ventilation rates can be increased to achieve acceptable indoor concentrations and incorporated as mitigation measures for this project.
Pre -Construction Building Material/Furnishing Formaldehyde Emissions Assessment This formaldehyde emissions assessment should be used in the environmental review under CEQA to assess the indoor formaldehyde concentrations from the proposed loading of building materials/furnishings, the area -specific formaldehyde emission rate data for building materials/furnishings, and the design minimum outdoor air ventilation rates. This assessment allows the applicant (and the City) to determine, before the conclusion of the environmental review process and the building materials/furnishings are specified, purchased, and installed, if the total chemical emissions will exceed cancer and non -cancer guidelines, and if so, allow for changes in the selection of specific material/furnishings and/or the design minimum outdoor air ventilations rates such that cancer and non -cancer guidelines are not exceeded.

1.) Define Indoor Air Quality Zones. Divide the building into separate indoor air quality zones, (IAQ Zones). IAQ Zones are defined as areas of well -mixed air. Thus, each ventilation system with recirculating air is considered a single zone, and each room or group of rooms where air is not recirculated (e.g. 100% outdoor air) is considered a separate zone. For IAQ Zones with the same construction material/furnishings and design minimum outdoor air ventilation rates. (e.g. hotel rooms, apartments, condominiums, etc.) the formaldehyde emission rates need only be assessed for a single IAQ Zone of that type.
2.) Calculate Material/Furnishing Loading. For each IAQ Zone, determine the building material and furnishing loadings (e.g., m2 of material/m2 floor area, units of furnishings/m2 floor area) from an inventory of all potential indoor formaldehyde sources, including flooring, ceiling tiles, furnishings, finishes, insulation, sealants, adhesives, and any products constructed with composite wood products containing urea -formaldehyde resins (e.g., plywood, medium density fiberboard, particleboard).
3.) Calculate the Formaldehyde Emission Rate. For each building material, calculate the formaldehyde emission rate (µg/h) from the product of the area -specific formaldehyde emission rate (µg/m2-h) and the area (m2) of material in the IAQ Zone, and from each furnishing (e.g. chairs, desks, etc.) from the unit -specific formaldehyde emission rate (µg/unit-h) and the number of units in the IAQ Zone.
NOTE: As a result of the high-performance building rating systems and building codes (California Building Standards Commission, 2014; USGBC, 2014), most manufacturers of building materials furnishings sold in the United States conduct chemical emission rate tests using the California Depaitiuent of Health "Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions for Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers," (CDPH, 2017), or other equivalent chemical emission rate testing methods. Most manufacturers of building furnishings sold in the United States conduct chemical emission rate tests using ANSI/BIFMA M7.1 Standard Test Method for Determining VOC Emissions (BIFMA, 2018), or other equivalent chemical emission rate testing methods.
7of19
580
CDPH, BIFMA, and other chemical emission rate testing programs, typically certify that a material or furnishing does not create indoor chemical concentrations in excess of the maximum concentrations permitted by their certification. For instance, the CDPH emission rate testing requires that the measured emission rates when input into an office, school, or residential model do not exceed one-half of the OEHHA Chronic Exposure Guidelines (OEHHA, 2017b) for the 35 specific VOCs, including formaldehyde, listed in Table 4-1 of the CDPH test method (CDPH, 2017). These certifications themselves do not provide the actual area -specific formaldehyde emission rate (i.e., µg/m2-h) of the product, but rather provide data that the formaldehyde emission rates do not exceed the maximum rate allowed for the certification. Thus, for example, the data for a certification of a specific type of flooring may be used to calculate that the area -specific emission rate of formaldehyde is less than 31 µg/m2-h, but not the actual measured specific emission rate, which may be 3, 18, or 30 µg/m2-h. These area -specific emission rates determined from the product certifications of CDPH, BIFA, and other certification programs can be used as an initial estimate of the formaldehyde emission rate.
If the actual area -specific emission rates of a building material or furnishing is needed (i.e. the initial emission rates estimates from the product certifications are higher than desired), then that data can be acquired by requesting from the manufacturer the complete chemical emission rate test report. For instance if the complete CDPH emission test report is requested for a CDHP certified product, that report will provide the actual area -specific emission rates for not only the 35 specific VOCs, including formaldehyde, listed in Table 4-1 of the CDPH test method (CDPH, 2017), but also all of the cancer and reproductive/developmental chemicals listed in the California Proposition 65 Safe Harbor Levels (OEHHA, 2017a), all of the toxic air contaminants (TACs) in the California Air Resources Board Toxic Air Contamination List (CARB, 2011), and the 10 chemicals with the greatest emission rates.
Alternatively, a sample of the building material or furnishing can be submitted to a chemical emission rate testing laboratory, such as Berkeley Analytical Laboratory ( https://berkeleyanalytical.com) , to measure the formaldehyde emission rate. 8 of 19
581
4.) Calculate the Total Formaldehyde Emission Rate. For each IAQ Zone, calculate the total formaldehyde emission rate (i.e. µg/h) from the individual formaldehyde emission rates from each of the building material/furnishings as determined in Step 3.
5.) Calculate the Indoor Formaldehyde Concentration. For each IAQ Zone, calculate the indoor formaldehyde concentration (µg/m3) from Equation 1 by dividing the total formaldehyde emission rates (i.e. µg/h) as determined in Step 4, by the design minimum outdoor air ventilation rate (m3/h) for the IAQ Zone.
Etotal
Cin = (Equation 1)
Qoa
where:
C;,, = indoor formaldehyde concentration (µg/m3)
Etotal = total formaldehyde emission rate (µg/h) into the IAQ Zone.
Qoa = design minimum outdoor air ventilation rate to the IAQ Zone (m3/h) The above Equation 1 is based upon mass balance theory, and is referenced in Section
3.10.2 "Calculation of Estimated Building Concentrations" of the California Department of Health "Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions for Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers", (CDPH, 2017).
6.) Calculate the Indoor Exposure Cancer and Non -Cancer Health Risks. For each IAQ Zone, calculate the cancer and non -cancer health risks from the indoor formaldehyde concentrations determined in Step 5 and as described in the OEHHA Air Toxics Hot Spots Program Risk Assessment Guidelines; Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk Assessments (OEHHA, 2015).
7.) Mitigate Indoor Formaldehyde Exposures of exceeding the CEQA Cancer and/or Non - Cancer Health Risks. In each IAQ Zone, provide mitigation for any formaldehyde exposure risk as determined in Step 6, that exceeds the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million or the CEQA non -cancer Hazard Quotient of 1.0.
Provide the source and/or ventilation mitigation required in all IAQ Zones to reduce the 9of19
582
health risks of the chemical exposures below the CEQA cancer and non -cancer health risks.
Source mitigation for formaldehyde may include:
1.) reducing the amount materials and/or furnishings that emit formaldehyde
2.) substituting a different material with a lower area -specific emission rate of formaldehyde
Ventilation mitigation for formaldehyde emitted from building materials and/or furnishings may include:
1.) increasing the design minimum outdoor air ventilation rate to the IAQ Zone.
NOTE: Mitigating the formaldehyde emissions through use of less material/furnishings, or use of lower emitting materials/furnishings, is the preferred mitigation option, as mitigation with increased outdoor air ventilation increases initial and operating costs associated with the heating/cooling systems.
Further, we are not asking that the builder "speculate" on what and how much composite materials be used, but rather at the design stage to select composite wood materials based on the formaldehyde emission rates that manufacturers routinely conduct using the California Department of Health "Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions for Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers," (CDPH, 2017), and use the procedure described earlier above (i.e. Pre - Construction Building Material/Furnishing Formaldehyde Emissions Assessment) to insure that the materials selected achieve acceptable cancer risks from material off gassing of formaldehyde.
Outdoor Air Ventilation Impact. Another important finding of the CNHS, was that the outdoor air ventilation rates in the homes were very low. Outdoor air ventilation is a very important factor influencing the indoor concentrations of air contaminants, as it is the primary removal mechanism of all indoor air generated contaminants. Lower outdoor air exchange rates cause indoor generated air contaminants to accumulate to higher indoor air concentrations. Many homeowners rarely open their windows or doors for ventilation as a 10 of 19
583
result of their concerns for security/safety, noise, dust, and odor concerns (Price, 2007). In the CNHS field study, 32% of the homes did not use their windows during the 24 -hour Test Day, and 15% of the homes did not use their windows during the entire preceding week.
Most of the homes with no window usage were homes in the winter field session. Thus, a substantial percentage of homeowners never open their windows, especially in the winter season. The median 24 -hour measurement was 0.26 air changes per hour (ach), with a range of 0.09 ach to 5.3 ach. A total of 67% of the homes had outdoor air exchange rates below the minimum California Building Code (2001) requirement of 0.35 ach. Thus, the relatively tight envelope construction, combined with the fact that many people never open their windows for ventilation, results in homes with low outdoor air exchange rates and higher indoor air contaminant concentrations.
The Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use Project, Placentia, CA is close to roads with moderate to high traffic (e.g., East Orangethorpe Avenue, South Placentia Avenue, Orange Freeway -57 etc.), thus the Project site is a sound impacted site.
According to the Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use Project, Placentia, CA (Harris & Associates, 2023), there has been no study of the current or future ambient noise levels at the Project location. In order to design the building for this Project such that interior noise levels are acceptable, an acoustic study with actual on -site measurements of the existing ambient noise levels and modeled future ambient noise levels needs to be conducted. The acoustic study of the existing ambient noise levels should be conducted over a minimum of a one -week period and report the dBA CNEL or Ldn. This study will allow for the selection of a building envelope and windows with a sufficient STC such that the indoor noise levels are acceptable. A mechanical supply of outdoor air ventilation to allow for a habitable interior environment with closed windows and doors will also be required. Such a ventilation system would allow windows and doors to be kept closed at the occupant's discretion to control exterior noise within building interiors.
PM2.5 Outdoor Concentrations Impact. An additional impact of the nearby motor vehicle traffic associated with this project, are the outdoor concentrations of PM2.5. According to the Orangethorpe/Placentia Mixed Use Project, Placentia, CA (Harris & Associates, 2023), 11 of 19
584
the Project is located in the South Coast Air Basin, which is a State and Federal non - attainment area for PM2.5.
Additionally, the SCAQMD's MATES V study cites an existing cancer risk of 443 per million at the Project site due to the site's high concentration of ambient air contaminants resulting from the area's high levels of motor vehicle traffic.
An air quality analyses should be conducted to determine the concentrations of PM2.5 in the outdoor and indoor air that people inhale each day. This air quality analyses needs to consider the cumulative impacts of the project related emissions, existing and projected future emissions from local PM2.5 sources (e.g. stationary sources, motor vehicles, and airport traffic) upon the outdoor air concentrations at the Project site. If the outdoor concentrations are determined to exceed the California and National annual average PM2.5 exceedence concentration of 12 µg/m3, or the National 24 -hour average exceedence concentration of 35 µg/m3, then the buildings need to have a mechanical supply of outdoor air that has air filtration with sufficient removal efficiency, such that the indoor concentrations of outdoor PM2.5 particles is less than the California and National PM2.5 annual and 24 -hour standards.
It is my experience that based on the projected high traffic noise levels, the annual average concentration of PM2.5 will exceed the California and National PM2.5 annual and 24 -hour standards and warrant installation of high efficiency air filters (i.e. at least MERV 13, or possibly MERV 14 or 15 depending on the results of the Project ambient PM2.5 concentrations) in all mechanically supplied outdoor air ventilation systems.
Indoor Air Quality Impact Mitigation Measures
The following are recommended mitigation measures to minimize the impacts upon indoor quality:
Indoor Formaldehyde Concentrations Mitigation. Use only composite wood materials (e.g. hardwood plywood, medium density fiberboard, particleboard) for all interior finish 12 of 19
585
systems that are made with CARB approved no -added formaldehyde (NAF) resins (CARB, 2009). CARB Phase 2 certified composite wood products, or ultra -low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins, do not insure indoor formaldehyde concentrations that are below the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million. Only composite wood products manufactured with CARB approved no -added formaldehyde (NAF) resins, such as resins made from soy, polyvinyl acetate, or methylene diisocyanate can insure that the OEHHA cancer risk of 10 per million is met.
Alternatively, conduct the previously described Pre -Construction Building Material/Furnishing Chemical Emissions Assessment, to determine that the combination of formaldehyde emissions from building materials and furnishings do not create indoor formaldehyde concentrations that exceed the CEQA cancer and non -cancer health risks.
It is important to note that we are not asking that the builder "speculate" on what and how much composite materials be used, but rather at the design stage to select composite wood materials based on the formaldehyde emission rates that manufacturers routinely conduct using the California Department of Health "Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions for Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers", (CDPH, 2017), and use the procedure described above (i.e.
Pre -Construction Building Material/Furnishing Formaldehyde Emissions Assessment) to insure that the materials selected achieve acceptable cancer risks from material off gassing of formaldehyde.
Outdoor Air Ventilation Mitigation. Provide each habitable room with a continuous mechanical supply of outdoor air that meets or exceeds the California 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (California Energy Commission, 2015) requirements of the greater of 15 cfm/occupant or 0.15 cfm/ft2 of floor area. Following installation of the system conduct testing and balancing to insure that required amount of outdoor air is entering each habitable room and provide a written report documenting the outdoor airflow rates. Do not use exhaust only mechanical outdoor air systems, use only balanced outdoor air supply and exhaust systems or outdoor air supply only systems. Provide a manual for the occupants or 13 of 19
586
maintenance personnel, that describes the purpose of the mechanical outdoor air system and the operation and maintenance requirements of the system.
PM2.5 Outdoor Air Concentration Mitigation. Install air filtration with sufficient PM2.5 removal efficiency (e.g. MERV 13 or higher) to filter the outdoor air entering the mechanical outdoor air supply systems, such that the indoor concentrations of outdoor PM2.5 particles are less than the California and National PM2.5 annual and 24 -hour standards.
Install the air filters in the system such that they are accessible for replacement by the occupants or maintenance personnel. Include in the mechanical outdoor air ventilation system manual instructions on how to replace the air filters and the estimated frequency of replacement.

APPENDIX A
INDOOR FORMALDEHYDE CONCENTRATIONS
AND THE
CARB FORMALDEHYDE ATCM
With respect to formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, the CARB ATCM regulations of formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, do not assure healthful indoor air quality. The following is the stated purpose of the CARB ATCM regulation - The purpose of this airborne toxic control measure is to "reduce formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, and finished goods that contain composite wood products, that are sold, offered for sale, supplied, used, or manufactured for sale in California". In other words, the CARB ATCM regulations do not "assure healthful indoor air quality", but rather "reduce formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products".
Just how much protection do the CARB ATCM regulations provide building occupants from the formaldehyde emissions generated by composite wood products? Definitely some, but certainly the regulations do not "assure healthful indoor air quality" when CARB Phase 2 products are utilized. As shown in the Chan 2019 study of new California homes, the median indoor formaldehyde concentration was of 22.4 µg/m3 (18.2 ppb), which corresponds to a cancer risk of 112 per million for occupants with continuous exposure, which is more than 11 times the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million.
Another way of looking at how much protection the CARB ATCM regulations provide building occupants from the formaldehyde emissions generated by composite wood products is to calculate the maximum number of square feet of composite wood product that can be in a residence without exceeding the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million for occupants with continuous occupancy.
For this calculation I utilized the floor area (2,272 ft2), the ceiling height (8.5 ft), and the number of bedrooms (4) as defined in Appendix B (New Single -Family Residence Scenario) of the Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions for Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers, Version 1.1, 2017, California Department of Public Health, 17 of 19
590
Richmond, CA.
DEODC/EHLB/IAQ/Pages/V OC. aspx.
https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/
For the outdoor air ventilation rate I used the 2019 Title 24 code required mechanical ventilation rate (ASHRAE 62.2) of 106 cfm (180 m3/h) calculated for this model residence.
For the composite wood formaldehyde emission rates I used the CARB ATCM Phase 2 rates.
The calculated maximum number of square feet of composite wood product that can be in a residence, without exceeding the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million for occupants with continuous occupancy are as follows for the different types of regulated composite wood products.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) — 15 ft2 (0.7% of the floor area), or Particle Board — 30 ft2 (1.3% of the floor area), or
Hardwood Plywood — 54 ft2 (2.4% of the floor area), or
Thin MDF — 46 ft2 (2.0 % of the floor area).
For offices and hotels the calculated maximum amount of composite wood product (% of floor area) that can be used without exceeding the CEQA cancer risk of 10 per million for occupants, assuming 8 hours/day occupancy, and the California Mechanical Code minimum outdoor air ventilation rates are as follows for the different types of regulated composite wood products.
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) — 3.6 % (offices) and 4.6% (hotel rooms), or Particle Board — 7.2 % (offices) and 9.4% (hotel rooms), or Hardwood Plywood — 13 % (offices) and 17% (hotel rooms), or Thin MDF — 11 % (offices) and 14 % (hotel rooms)
Clearly the CARB ATCM does not regulate the formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products such that the potentially large areas of these products, such as for flooring, baseboards, interior doors, window and door trims, and kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, could be used without causing indoor formaldehyde concentrations that result in CEQA 18 of 19
591
cancer risks that substantially exceed 10 per million for occupants with continuous occupancy.
Even composite wood products manufactured with CARB certified ultra low emitting formaldehyde (ULEF) resins do not insure that the indoor air will have concentrations of formaldehyde the meet the OEHHA cancer risks that substantially exceed 10 per million.
The permissible emission rates for ULEF composite wood products are only 11-15% lower than the CARB Phase 2 emission rates. Only use of composite wood products made with no -added formaldehyde resins (NAF), such as resins made from soy, polyvinyl acetate, or methylene diisocyanate can insure that the OEHHA cancer risk of 10 per million is met.
If CARB Phase 2 compliant or ULEF composite wood products are utilized in construction, then the resulting indoor formaldehyde concentrations should be determined in the design phase using the specific amounts of each type of composite wood product, the specific formaldehyde emission rates, and the volume and outdoor air ventilation rates of the indoor spaces, and all feasible mitigation measures employed to reduce this impact (e.g. use less formaldehyde containing composite wood products and/or incorporate mechanical systems capable of higher outdoor air ventilation rates). See the procedure described earlier (i.e.
Pre -Construction Building Material/Furnishing Formaldehyde Emissions Assessment) to insure that the materials selected achieve acceptable cancer risks from material off gassing of formaldehyde.
Alternatively, and perhaps a simpler approach, is to use only composite wood products (e.g. hardwood plywood, medium density fiberboard, particleboard) for all interior finish systems that are made with CARB approved no -added formaldehyde (NAF) resins. 19 of 19

Subject: Comments on the 777 W. Orangethorpe Mixed Use Project Dear Ms. Yundt,
We have reviewed the November 2023 Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration ("IS/MND") for the 777 W. Orangethorpe Mixed Use ("Project") located in the City of Placentia ("City"). The Project proposes to demolish the existing 40,000 -square -feet ("SF") of industrial space and construct 248 residential units, 3,000 -SF of commercial space, and 342 parking spaces on the 2.72 -acre -site.
Our review concludes that the IS/MND fails to adequately evaluate the Project's air quality, health risk, and greenhouse gas impacts. As a result, emissions and health risk impacts associated with construction and operation of the proposed Project may be underestimated and inadequately addressed. An Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") should be prepared to adequately assess and mitigate the potential air quality, health risk, and greenhouse gas impacts that the project may have on the environment.
Air Quality
Unsubstantiated Input Parameters Used to Estimate Project Emissions The IS/MND's air quality analysis relies on emissions calculated with California Emissions Estimator Model ("CaIEEMod") Version 2020.4.0 (p. 50).1 CaIEEMod provides recommended default values based on site -specific information, such as land use type, meteorological data, total lot acreage, project type and typical equipment associated with project type. If more specific project information is known, the user can change the default values and input project -specific values, but the California Environmental 1 "CaIEEMod Version 2020.4.0." California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), May 2021, available at: http://www.acmd.gov/caleemod/download-model .

Quality Act ("CEQA") requires that such changes be justified by substantial evidence. Once all of the values are inputted into the model, the Project's construction and operational emissions are calculated, and "output files" are generated. These output files disclose which parameters are used in calculating the Project's air pollutant emissions by identifying any changes to default values. Justifications are provided for each altered value.
When reviewing the Project's CaIEEMod output files, provided in the Air Quality and GHG Emissions Assessment ("AQ & GHG Assessment"), provided as Appendix A to the IS/MND, we found that several model inputs are not consistent with information disclosed in the IS/MND. As a result, the Project's construction and operational emissions may be underestimated. An EIR should be prepared to include an updated air quality analysis that adequately evaluates the impacts that operation of the Project will have on local and regional air quality.
Unsubstantiated Changes to Individual Construction Phase Lengths Review of the CaIEEMod output files demonstrates that the "OrangethorpePlacentia" model includes a change to the default construction schedule (see excerpt below) (Appendix A, pp. 2, 38, 67):

As demonstrated above, in the "OrangethorpePlacentia" model, the paving phase is increased by 300%, from the default value of 10 to 40 days.
As previously mentioned, the CaIEEMod User's Guide requires any changes to model defaults be justified.2 According to the "User Entered Comments & Non -Default Data" table, the justification provided for these changes is:
"Adjusted coating to 20% of building construction" (Appendix A, pp.2, 38, 67).
Regarding construction activities, the IS/MND states:
2 "CaIEEMod User's Guide Version 2020.4.0." California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), May 2021, available at: https://www.aqmd.gov/caleemod/user's-guide , p. 1, 14. 2 616
"Construction was assumed to require approximately 14 months of construction. Construction phases include demolition (1 month), site preparation (1 week), grading (1 week), building construction (10 months), paving (2 weeks), and architectural coatings (2 months)" (p. 62).
However, the changes to the individual construction phase lengths remain unsubstantiated as the IS/MND fails to provide an adequate source for the individual construction phase lengths. While the IS/MND states the total duration of Project construction to equate to 14 months, the IS/MND fails to substantiate the individual construction phase lengths. As the IS/MND fails to provide an adequate source for the revised construction phase lengths, we cannot verify the changes. Until a proper source is provided, the model should have included proportionately altered individual phase lengths to match the proposed construction durations of 14 months.
The construction schedules included in the model present an issue, as the construction emissions are improperly spread out over a longer period of time for some phases, but not for others. According to the CaIEEMod User's Guide, each construction phase is associated with different emissions activities (see excerpt below).3
Demolition involves removing buildings or structures.
Site Preparation involves clearing vegetation (grubbing and tree/stump removal) and removing stones and other unwanted material or debris prior to grading.
Grading involves the cut and fill of land to ensure that the proper base and slope is created for the foundation.
Building Construction involves the construction of the foundation, structures and buildings.
Architectural Coating involves the application of coatings to both the interior and exterior of buildings or structures, the painting of parking lot or parking garage striping, associated signage and curbs, and the painting of the walls or other components such as stair railings inside parking structures.
Paving involves the laying of concrete or asphalt such as in parking lots, roads, driveways, or sidewalks.
By disproportionately altering and extending some of the individual construction phase lengths without proper justification, the model assumes there are a greater number of days to complete the construction activities required by the prolonged phases. As a result, there will be less construction activities required per day and, consequently, less pollutants emitted per day. Until we are able to verify the revised construction schedule, the model may underestimate the peak daily emissions associated with some phases of construction and should not be relied upon to determine Project significance.
Unsubstantiated Reductions to Acres of Grading Values
Review of the CaIEEMod output files demonstrates that "OrangethorpePlacentia" model includes reductions to the default acres of grading values (see excerpt below) (Appendix A, pp. 3, 37, 69). 3 "CaIEEMod User's Guide." California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), May 2021, available at:

As previously mentioned, the CaIEEMod User's Guide requires any changes to model defaults be justified.4 According to the "User Entered Comments & Non -Default Data" table, the justification provided for this change is:
"Adjusted to lot area" (Appendix A, pp. 2, 38, 67).
Furthermore, the IS/MND states (see excerpt below):
"The Proposed Project would be developed on a 2.72 -acre site" (p. 2) However, this change is incorrect. According to the CaIEEMod User's Guide:
"[T]he dimensions (e.g., length and width) of the grading site have no impact on the calculation, only the total area to be graded. In order to properly grade a piece of land multiple passes with equipment may be required. The acres is based on the equipment list and days in grading or site preparation phase according to the anticipated maximum number of acres a given piece of equipment can pass over in an 8 -hour workday."5
The default acres of grading values are calculated based on construction equipment and the length of the grading and site preparation phases. Here, the model uses the acres of the Project site as the acres of grading. As the dimensions of the Project site have no impact on the acres of grading value, the revised value is unsubstantiated.
These unsubstantiated reductions present an issue, as CaIEEMod uses the acres of grading values to estimate the dust emissions associated with grading.' By including incorrect reductions to the default acres of grading values, the model may underestimate the Project's construction -related emissions and should not be relied upon to determine Project significance.
Updated Analysis Indicates a Potentially Significant Air Quality Impact In an effort to more accurately estimate the Project's construction -related emissions, we prepared an updated CaIEEMod model, using the Project -specific information provided by the IS/MND. In our updated model, we proportionately altered the individual construction phase lengths to match the "CaIEEMod User's Guide." California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), May 2021, available at:
https://www.agmd.gov/caleemod/user's-guide , p. 1, 14.

proposed construction duration of 14 months and omitted the unsubstantiated changes reductions to acres of grading values.'
Our updated analysis estimates that the volatile organic compound ("VOC") emissions associated with Project construction exceed the applicable South Coast Air Quality Management District ("SCAQMD") threshold of 75 pounds per day ("Ibs/day"), as referenced by the IS/MND (p. 51) (see table below).8 SWAPE Criteria Air Pollutant Emissions

Exceeds?
263%
75 Yes
As demonstrated above, construction -related VOC emissions, as estimated by SWAPE, increase by approximately 263% and exceed the applicable SCAQMD significance threshold. Our updated modeling demonstrates that the Project may result in a potentially significant air quality impact that was not previously identified or addressed by the IS/MND. As a result, an EIR should be prepared to adequately assess and mitigate the potential air quality impacts that the Project may have on the environment.
Diesel Particulate Matter Emissions Inadequately Evaluated The IS/MND concludes that the Project would have a less -than -significant health risk impact without conducting a quantified construction or operational health risk analysis ("HRA").Regarding the health risk impacts associated with Project construction, the IS/MND states:
"Table 4 shows that the construction emission rates would not exceed the LSTs for the existing residences in the area surrounding the Proposed Project Site. Impacts would be less than significant" (p. 54).
Furthermore, regarding the health risk impacts associated with the Project operations, the IS/MND states:
"As shown in Table 5, the operational emission rates would not exceed the LSTs for sensitive receptors in the Proposed Project area. Therefore, the proposed operational activity would not result in a locally significant air quality impact and impacts would be less than significant" (p. 54).

As demonstrated above, the IS/MND claims that because emissions associated with Project construction and operations would not exceed the Localized Significance Threshold ("LST"), the Project will result in a less -than -significant health risk impact. However, the IS/MND's evaluation of the Project's potential health risk impacts, as well as the subsequent less -than -significant impact conclusion, is unreliable for four reasons.
First, the use of a LST analysis to determine the health risk impacts posed to nearby, existing sensitive receptors as a result of the Project's operational toxic air contaminant ("TAC") emissions is incorrect.
While the LST method assesses the impact of pollutants at a local level, it only evaluates impacts from criteria air pollutants. According to the Final Localized Significance Threshold Methodology document prepared by the South Coast Air Quality Management District ("SCAQMD"), LST analyses are only applicable to NO„, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions, which are collectively referred to as criteria air pollutants.9 Because LST methods can only be applied to criteria air pollutants, they cannot be used to determine whether emissions from TACs, specifically Diesel Particulate Matter ("DPM"), a known human carcinogen, would result in a significant health risk impact to nearby sensitive receptors. As a result, health impacts during Project operation from exposure to TACs, such as DPM, were not analyzed, leaving a gap in the IS/MND's analysis.
Second, by failing to prepare a quantified construction HRA, the IS/MND is inconsistent with CEQA's requirement to correlate the increase in emissions that the Project would generate to the adverse impacts on human health caused by those emissions.10 This is incorrect, as construction of the proposed Project will produce DPM emissions through the exhaust stacks of construction equipment over a total construction duration of 14 months (p. 50). However, the IS/MND fails to evaluate the potential Project - generated TACs or indicate the concentrations at which such pollutants would trigger adverse health effects. Without making a reasonable effort to connect the Project's construction -related TAC emissions to the potential health risks posed to nearby receptors, the IS/MND is inconsistent with CEQA's requirement to correlate the increase in emissions generated by the Project with the potential adverse impacts on human health.
Third, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment ("OEHHA"), the organization responsible for providing guidance on conducting HRAs in California, released its most recent Risk Assessment Guidelines: Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk Assessments in February 2015. This guidance document describes the types of projects that warrant the preparation of an HRA. Specifically, OEHHA recommends that all short-term projects lasting at least 2 months assess cancer risks.11 Additionally, according to OEHHA:

"Exposure from projects lasting more than 6 months should be evaluated for the duration of the project. In all cases, for assessing risk to residential receptors, the exposure should be assumed to start in the third trimester to allow for the use of the ASFs (OEHHA, 2009).'.12 As the Project's anticipated construction duration exceeds the 2 -month and 6 -month requirements set forth by OEHHA, construction of the Project meets the threshold warranting a quantified HRA under OEHHA guidance and should be evaluated for the entire 14 -month construction period. Furthermore, OEHHA recommends that an exposure duration of 30 years should be used to estimate the individual cancer risk at the maximally exposed individual resident ("MEIR").13 While the IS/MND fails to provide the expected lifetime of the proposed Project, we can reasonably assume that the Project would operate for at least 30 years, if not more. Therefore, operation of the Project also exceeds the 2 -month and 6 -month requirements set forth by OEHHA and should be evaluated for the entire 30 -year residential exposure duration, as indicated by OEHHA guidance. These recommendations reflect the most recent state health risk policies, and as such, an EIR should be prepared to include an analysis of health risk impacts posed to nearby sensitive receptors from Project -generated DPM emissions.
Fourth, by claiming a less -than -significant impact without conducting a quantified construction or operational HRA for nearby, existing sensitive receptors, the IS/MND fails to compare the Project's excess cancer risk to the SCAQMD's specific numeric threshold of 10 in one million.14 In accordance with the most relevant guidance, an assessment of the health risk posed to nearby, existing receptors as a result of Project construction and operation should be conducted.
Screening -Level Analysis Demonstrates Potentially Significant Health Risk Impact In order to conduct our screening -level risk assessment we relied upon AERSCREEN, which is a screening level air quality dispersion model.15 AERSCREEN is included in the OEHHA and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Associated ("CAPCOA") guidance as the appropriate air dispersion model for Level 2 health risk screening assessments ("HRSAs").16.17 A Level 2 HRSA utilizes a limited amount of site -specific information to generate maximum reasonable downwind concentrations of air contaminants to which nearby sensitive receptors may be exposed. If an unacceptable air quality hazard is determined to be possible using AERSCREEN, a more refined modeling approach should be conducted prior to approval of the Project.

We prepared a preliminary HRA of the Project's construction and operational health risk impact to residential sensitive receptors using the annual PM10 exhaust estimates from the IS/MND's CaIEEMod output files. Consistent with recommendations set forth by OEHHA, we assumed residential exposure begins during the third trimester stage of life.18 The IS/MND's CaIEEMod model indicates that construction activities will generate approximately 110 pounds of DPM over the 385 -day construction period.19 The AERSCREEN model relies on a continuous average emission rate to simulate maximum downward concentrations from point, area, and volume emission sources. To account for the variability in equipment usage and truck trips over Project construction, we calculated an average DPM emission rate by the following equation:
grams 110.4 lbs 453.6 grams 1 day 1 hour
Emission Rate ( ) = x x x = 0.001505 g/s
second 385 days lbs 24 hours 3,600 seconds
Using this equation, we estimated a construction emission rate of 0.00151 grams per second ("g/s").
Subtracting the 385 -day construction period from the total residential duration of 30 years, we assumed that after Project construction, the sensitive receptor would be exposed to the Project's operational DPM for an additional 28.95 years. The IS/MND's operational CaIEEMod emissions indicate that operational activities will generate approximately 83 net pounds of DPM per year throughout operation.
Applying the same equation used to estimate the construction DPM rate, we estimated the following emission rate for Project operation:
grams 83 lbs 453.6 grams 1 clay 1 hour
Emission Rate ( ) = x x x = 0.001194 g/s
second 365 days lbs 24 hours 3,600 seconds
Using this equation, we estimated an operational emission rate of 0.0011 g/s. Construction and operation were simulated as a 2.72 -acre rectangular area source in AERSCREEN, with approximate dimensions of 148- by 74 -meters. A release height of three meters was selected to represent the height of stacks of operational equipment and other heavy-duty vehicles, and an initial vertical dimension of one and a half meters was used to simulate instantaneous plume dispersion upon release. An urban meteorological setting was selected with model -default inputs for wind speed and direction distribution.
The population of Placentia was obtained from U.S. 2021 Census data.20 The AERSCREEN model generates maximum reasonable estimates of single -hour DPM concentrations from the Project Site. The U.S. EPA suggests that the annualized average concentration of an air pollutant be estimated by multiplying the single -hour concentration by 10% in screening procedures.21 According to the IS/MND, the nearest sensitive receptor is located 120 feet, or 37 meters, from the Project site (p. 53). However, review of the AERSCREEN output files demonstrates that the maximally exposed individual receptor ("MEIR") is located approximately 75 meters from the Project site. Thus, the 18 "Risk Assessment Guidelines: Guidance Manual for Preparation of Health Risk Assessments."

single -hour concentration estimated by AERSCREEN for Project construction is approximately 4.121 µg/m3 DPM at approximately 75 meters downwind. Multiplying this single -hour concentration by 10%, we get an annualized average concentration of 0.4121 µg/m3 for Project construction at the MEIR. For Project operation, the single -hour concentration estimated by AERSCREEN is 3.269 µg/m3 DPM at approximately 75 meters downwind. Multiplying this single -hour concentration by 10%, we get an annualized average concentration of 0.3269 µg/m3 for Project operation at the MEIR.
We calculated the excess cancer risk to the nearest sensitive receptor using applicable HRA methodologies prescribed by OEHHA, as recommended by SCAQMD.22 Specifically, guidance from OEHHA and the California Air Resources Board ("CARB") recommends the use of a standard point estimate approach, including high -point estimate (i.e. 95th percentile) breathing rates and age sensitivity factors ("ASF") in order to account for the increased sensitivity to carcinogens during early -in -life exposure and accurately assess risk for susceptible subpopulations such as children. The residential exposure parameters, such as the daily breathing rates ("BR/BW"), exposure duration ("ED"), age sensitivity factors ("ASF"), fraction of time at home ("FAH"), and exposure frequency ("EF") utilized for the various age groups in our screening -level HRA are as follows:

For the inhalation pathway, the procedure requires the incorporation of several discrete variates to effectively quantify dose for each age group. Once determined, contaminant dose is multiplied by the cancer potency factor ("CPF") in units of inverse dose expressed in milligrams per kilogram per day (mg/kg/day-1) to derive the cancer risk estimate. Therefore, to assess exposures, we utilized the following dose algorithm:
where:
BR]Bt/VJ
DOSeAIR,per age group = Cair X EF X L X A X CF
DoseA,R = dose by inhalation (mg/kg/day), per age group Cair = concentration of contaminant in air (µg/m3)
EF = exposure frequency (number of days/365 days)
BR/BW = daily breathing rate normalized to body weight (L/kg/day) A = inhalation absorption factor (default = 1)
CF = conversion factor (1x10-6, µg to mg, L to m3)
To calculate the overall cancer risk, we used the following equation for each appropriate age group:

As demonstrated in the table above, the excess cancer risks for the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, infants, children, and adults at the MEIR located approximately 75 meters away, over the course of Project construction and operation, are approximately 1.76, 101, 85.2 and 13.1 in one million, respectively. The excess cancer risk over the course of a residential lifetime (30 years) is approximately 204 in one million.
The infant, child and lifetime cancer risks exceed the SCAQMD threshold of 10 in one million, resulting in a potentially significant impact not previously addressed or identified by the IS/MND.
Our analysis represents a screening -level HRA, which is known to be conservative and tends to err on the side of health protection. The purpose of the screening -level HRA is to demonstrate the potential link between Project -generated emissions and adverse health risk impacts. According to the U.S. EPA:
11 625
"EPA's Exposure Assessment Guidelines recommend completing exposure assessments iteratively using a tiered approach to 'strike a balance between the costs of adding detail and refinement to an assessment and the benefits associated with that additional refinement' (U.S.
EPA, 1992).
In other words, an assessment using basic tools (e.g., simple exposure calculations, default values, rules of thumb, conservative assumptions) can be conducted as the first phase (or tier) of the overall assessment (i.e., a screening -level assessment).
The exposure assessor or risk manager can then determine whether the results of the screening - level assessment warrant further evaluation through refinements of the input data and exposure assumptions or by using more advanced models." Screening -level analyses warrant further evaluation in a refined modeling approach. Our screening -level HRA demonstrates that since construction and operation of the Project could result in a potentially significant health risk impact, an EIR should be prepared to include a refined health risk analysis which adequately and accurately evaluates health risk impacts associated with both Project construction and operation. If the refined analysis similarly concludes that the Project would result in a significant health risk impact, then mitigation measures should be incorporated, as described below in the "Feasible Mitigation Measures Available to Reduce Emissions" section.
Greenhouse Gas
Failure to Adequately Evaluate Greenhouse Gas Impacts
The IS/MND estimates that the Project would generate net annual greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions of 2,65L2 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per year ("MT CO2e/year") (p. 79, Table 9).

As demonstrated above, the IS/MND concludes that Project's GHG emissions which exceeds the Tier 3 screening threshold of 2,520 MT CO2e/year. As such, the proposed Project is compared to the Tier 4 efficient metric threshold of 4.0 MT CO2e/yr/SP (IS/MND, p. 78). The proposed Project does not exceed this threshold, as the Project's estimated emission efficiency is 3.5 MT CO2e/SP/yr. The IS/MND consequently concludes that the Project would result in a less -than -significant impact (IS/MND, p. 78). 12 626
However, the IS/MND's analysis, as well as the subsequent less -than -significant impact conclusion, is incorrect for three reasons.
(1) The IS/MND's quantitative GHG analysis relies upon a flawed air model; (2) The IS/MND's quantitative GHG analysis relies upon an outdated threshold; and (3) The IS/MND's unsubstantiated air model indicates a potentially significant impact. 1) Incorrect and Unsubstantiated Quantitative Analysis of Emissions As previously stated, the IS/MND estimates that the Project would generate net annual GHG emissions of 2,651.2 MT CO2e/year (p. 79, Table 9). However, the IS/MND's quantitative GHG analysis is unsubstantiated. As previously discussed, the IS/MND relies on CaIEEMod Version 2020.4.0 to estimate the Project's air quality emissions and fails to provide the complete output files required to adequately evaluate model's analysis. Furthermore, when reviewing the CaIEEMod output files included in the AQ & GHG Assessment, we were able to identify several model inputs that are inconsistent with information disclosed in the IS/MND. As a result, the models may underestimate the Project's emissions, and the IS/MND's quantitative GHG analysis should not be relied upon to determine Project significance. An EIR should be prepared that adequately assesses the potential GHG impacts that construction and operation of the proposed Project may have on the environment.
2) Incorrect Reliance on an Outdated Quantitative GHG Threshold As previously stated, the IS/MND estimates that the Project would generate net annual GHG emissions of 2,651.2 MT CO2e/year, which would not exceed the Tier 4 efficient threshold of 4.0 MT CO2e/yr/SP (IS/MND, p. 78). However, the guidance that provided the 4.0 MT CO2e/year threshold, the SCAQMD's 2008 Interim CEQA GHG Significance Threshold for Stationary Sources, Rules, and Plans report, was developed when the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, commonly known as "AB 32", was the governing statute for GHG reductions in California. AB 32 requires California to reduce GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.27 Furthermore, AEP guidance states:
"[F]or evaluating projects with a post 2020 horizon, the threshold will need to be revised based on a new gap analysis that would examine 17 development and reduction potentials out to the next GHG reduction milestone."28
As it is currently January 2023, thresholds for 2020 are not applicable to the proposed Project and should be revised to reflect the current GHG reduction target. As such, the SCAQMD bright -line threshold of 4.0 MT CO2e/yr/SP is outdated and inapplicable to the proposed Project, and the IS/MND's less -than -significant GHG impact conclusion should not be relied upon. Instead, we recommend that the Project apply the SCAQMD 2035 service population efficiency target of 3.0 metric tons of carbon dioxide 27 "Health & Safety Code 38550." California State Legislature, January 2007, available at:

equivalents per service population per year ("MT CO2e/SP/year"), which was calculated by applying a 40% reduction to the 2020 targets.29
3) Failure to Identify a Potentially Significant GHG Impact In an effort to quantitatively evaluate the Project's GHG emissions, we compared the Project's GHG emissions, as estimated by the IS/MND, to the SCAQMD 2035 service population efficiency target of 3.0 MT CO2e/SP/year. When applying this threshold, the Project's air model indicates a potentially significant GHG impact. As previously stated, the IS/MND estimates that the Project would generate net annual GHG emissions of 2,651.2 MT CO2e/year (p. 79, Table 9). According to CAPCOA's CEQA & Climate Change report, a service population ("SP") is defined as "the sum of the number of residents and the number of jobs supported by the project."30. Furthermore, according to the IS/MND, the Project's service population would be 751 (p. 78).31 When dividing the Project's net annual GHG emissions, as estimated by the IS/MND, by an SP of 751 people, we find that the Project would emit approximately
3.5 MT CO2e/SP/year (see table below).32
IS/MND Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Service Population 751
Service Population Efficiency (MT CO2e/SP/year) 3.5
SCAQMD 2035 Threshold 3.0
Exceeds? Yes
As demonstrated above, the Project's service population efficiency value, as estimated by the IS/MND's provided net annual GHG emission estimates and SP, exceeds the SCAQMD 2035 efficiency target of 3.0 MT CO2e/SP/year, indicating a potentially significant impact not previously identified or addressed by the IS/MND. As a result, the IS/MND's less -than -significant GHG impact conclusion should not be relied upon. An EIR should be prepared to include an updated GHG analysis which incorporates additional mitigation measures to reduce the Project's GHG emissions to less -than -significant levels.
Mitigation
Feasible Mitigation Measures Available to Reduce Emissions Our analysis demonstrates that the Project would result in potentially significant air quality, health risk, and GHG impacts that should be mitigated further. As such, in an effort to reduce the Project's 29 "Minutes for the GHG CEQA Significance Threshold Stakeholder Working Group #15."

emissions, we identified several mitigation measures that are applicable to the proposed Project.
Therefore, to reduce the Project's emissions, we recommend consideration of SCAG's 2020 RTP/SCS PEIR'sAir Quality Project Level Mitigation Measures ("PMM-AQ-1") and Greenhouse Gas Project Level Mitigation Measures ("PMM-GHG-1"), as described below: 33 SCAG RTP/SCS 2020-2045
Air Quality Project Level Mitigation Measures — PMM-AQ-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 violating air quality standards. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Minimize land disturbance.
b) Suspend grading and earth moving when wind gusts exceed 25 miles per hour unless the soil is wet enough to prevent dust plumes.
c) Cover trucks when hauling dirt.
d) Stabilize the surface of dirt piles if not removed immediately. e) Limit vehicular paths on unpaved surfaces and stabilize any temporary roads. f) Minimize unnecessary vehicular and machinery activities. g) Sweep paved streets at least once per day where there is evidence of dirt that has been carried on to the roadway.
h) Revegetate disturbed land, including vehicular paths created during construction to avoid future off -road vehicular activities.
j) Require contractors to assemble a comprehensive inventory list (i.e., make, model, engine year, horsepower, emission rates) of all heavy-duty off -road (portable and mobile) equipment (50 horsepower and greater) that could be used an aggregate of 40 or more hours for the construction project. Prepare a plan for approval by the applicable air district demonstrating achievement of the applicable percent reduction for a CARB-approved fleet.
k) Ensure that all construction equipment is properly tuned and maintained.
I) Minimize idling time to 5 minutes —saves fuel and reduces emissions. m) Provide an operational water truck on -site at all times. Use watering trucks to minimize dust; watering should be sufficient to confine dust plumes to the project work areas. Sweep paved streets at least once per day where there is evidence of dirt that has been carried on to the roadway. n) Utilize existing power sources (e.g., power poles) or clean fuel generators rather than temporary power generators.
o) Develop a traffic plan to minimize traffic flow interference from construction activities. The plan may include advance public notice of routing, use of public transportation, and satellite parking areas with a shuttle service.
Schedule operations affecting traffic for off-peak hours. Minimize obstruction of through -traffic lanes. Provide a flag person to guide traffic properly and ensure safety at construction sites. 33 "4.0 Mitigation Measures."

These measures offer a cost-effective, feasible way to incorporate lower -emitting design features into the proposed Project, which subsequently, reduce emissions released during Project construction and operation.
As it is policy of the State that eligible renewable energy resources and zero -carbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end -use customers by December 31, 2045, we emphasize that the energy mix that will charge the batteries and power electrical equipment must be 100% 19 633
renewable energy resources. Until the feasibility of charging the batteries with renewable energy resources only is evaluated, the Project should not be approved.
An EIR should be prepared to include all feasible mitigation measures, as well as include updated air quality, health risk, and GHG analyses to ensure that the necessary mitigation measures are implemented to reduce emissions to below thresholds. The EIR should also demonstrate a commitment to the implementation of these measures prior to Project approval, to ensure that the Project's significant emissions are reduced to the maximum extent possible.
