Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air <br />ollution control district Ina he relied u on to make the follo~-~in determinations.

Create objectionable odors affecting a X 2 <br />substantial number of eo le? <br />EXPLANATION: The traffic volumes associated with tlvs small project are not anticipated to be substantial, and are ui fact less <br />than anticipated for the. envirotunental review completed for the General Plan (This is due to the change in designation for two of the <br />parcels from High Density Residential to Neighborhood Conuliercial). Therefore, a significant increase in air emission or <br />deterioration of ambient air quality am-ibuted to the project is not anticipated. It should be noted that the latest information provided <br />by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) indicates that the Bay Area is a designated non-attainment area for <br />ozone and particulate matter (PMIO). Typically, the BAAQMD does not require site-specific air quality analyses for projects that do <br />not meet a nunimum size tlu•eshold, which this project does not meet. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required as standard <br />conditions of approval regarding the use of equipment during the graduig phase. With implementation of these standard conditions, <br />potential air quality impacts related to the construction phase are anticipated to be less than significant. Due to the proposed office <br />use, no objectionable odors are anticipated from development of the project site. <br />6. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the ro'ect: <br />a.
