POTENTIALLY ISSUES POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LESS THAN NO SIGNIFICANT UNLESS SIGNIFICANT IMPACT SOURCES ISSUES MITIGATION IMPACT INCORPORATED EXPLANATION: The traffic volumes associated with future on -site development are not anticipated to be substantial. Therefore, a significant increase in air emission or deterioration of ambient air quality attributed to the project is not anticipated. It should be noted that the latest information provided by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) indicates that the Bay Area is a designated non -attainment area for ozone and particulate matter (PMto). Typically, the BAAQMD does not require site - specific air quality analyses for projects that do not meet a minimum size threshold (typically in excess of 300 units), which this project would not meet. Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required as standard conditions of approval regarding the use of equipment during the grading phase. With implementation of these standard conditions, potential air quality impacts related to the construction phase are anticipated to be less than significant. Given the size of the site and the uses permitted under the proposed rezone, no impacts are anticipated related to sensitive receptors and pollutant concentrations or odors. 6. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would theproject: a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either X 2, 7 directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any X 2, 7 riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? �. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally X 2, 7 protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? d. Interfere substantially with the movement of an X 2,17 resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances X 21.7 protecting biological resources, such as a tree reservation policy or ordinance? f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted X 2,7 Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservationplan? EXPLANATION: The 7,000 square -foot project site is currently vacant, but may have been developed with a single-family home in the 1950s. It is surrounded by parcels that have been developed for at least thirty years. A few citrus trees and ruderal weeds represent on -site plant habitats. There are no known rare, threatened, or endangered plant or animal species anticipated on -site. Development of the site would probably remove existing vegetation. The City does not have an adopted tree ordinance, nor a conservation plan. Therefore, development of the project site is anticipated to result in no impact to biological resources. I 7. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would theproject: 1. Result in the loss of availability of a known X 2,7 mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? 555 Estudillo - Initial Study Checklist 6 December 2001 (Form rev. 11/06/00) 120
