EIR and in the record, as well as other relevant information in the record of the proceedings for the Project. IX. SIGNIFICANT BUT MITIGATABLE IMPACTS 26. Under Public Resources Code section 21081(a)(1) and CEQA Guidelines sections 15091(a)(1) and 15092(b), and to the extent reflected in the EIR and the MMRP, the City Council finds that changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the components of the Project that mitigate or avoid potentially significant effects on the environment. The following potentially significant impacts will be reduced to a less than significant level through the implementation of Project mitigation measures: a. Visual Quality: Impact VQ -2 finds that the proposed project (including both Phase 1 and Build -Out of the Kaiser Medical Center and the Mixed -Use Retail Development) could create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views at the project site and vicinity. This impact will be mitigated through the implementation of Mitigation Measure VQ -2.1, which requires the project sponsor(s) to apply street lighting standards and other exterior lighting standards that are designed to reduce glare on adjacent properties. b. Air Quality: Impact AQ -4 finds that the potential residential uses of the Mixed Use Retail Development component of the proposed project could expose on-site sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations of toxic air contaminants. There would be potentially significant impacts for the Mixed -Use Retail Development if residential uses were proposed within 500 feet of 1-880. If residential uses are proposed outside of the 500 -foot buffer zone from 1-880, then no mitigation would be required. If residential uses are proposed within 500 feet of 1-880, the impact will be mitigated through the implementation of Mitigation Measure AQ -4.1, which requires preparation of a health risk assessment and, if necessary to meet BAAQMD standards, incorporation into the project design of recommendations for reducing exposure to on-site residents. c. Hazardous Materials: (1) Impact HAZ-1 finds that development of the proposed project would occur on property that is known to contain contaminated soil; therefore the proposed project could expose construction workers to existing or previously unidentified contaminants. This impact will be mitigated through the implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-1.1, which requires the project applicant(s) to coordinate with the City and regulatory agencies and follow any necessary plans to ensure that construction workers are protected from unacceptable exposure to residual levels of hazardous substances during site development. (2) Impact HAZ-2 finds that operation and occupation of the proposed project could expose people to existing or previously unidentified contaminants. This impact will be mitigated through the implementation of Mitigation Measure no
