The air quality analysis will include an evaluation of short-term construction impacts associated with buildout of the proposed project. An analysis of estimate of long-term criteria air pollutant emissions impacts, consistency with the SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan, and a qualitative assessment of CO hotspots and analysis of the compatibility of land uses will also be provided. The GHG emissions technical analysis will provide an estimate of long-term GHG emissions associated with the proposed project. Total GHG emissions from construction activities will be amortized into the GHG emissions inventory and GHG emissions modeling will account for reductions from recently adopted programs and regulations. The modeling input will include reductions in vehicle emissions from use of alternative modes of transportation (mode-switch) and internal trip capture. Additionally, a consistency evaluation will be included with applicable plans such as the California Air Resources Board’s 2008 Scoping Plan and the SCAG’s 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). Phase 0 Report (PlaceWorks) PlaceWorks will prepare a Modified Phase 0 Transaction Screen Process Report (Phase 0). The assumed study area for this Phase 0 is an approximate 1.5 mile corridor along Beach Boulevard. The Phase 0 assessment will be performed in general conformance with the scope and limitations of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E 1528-06 Standard. The Phase 0 is limited to a site reconnaissance, review of a regulatory database reports and review of historic aerial photographs. A letter report will be prepared that conforms to ASTM standards relating to Phase 0s. The assessment will evaluate site history, existing observable conditions, current site use, and current and historic uses of surrounding properties to identify the Potential Environmental Conditions (PECs) in connection with the project area. An evaluation of business environmental risk associated with a parcel of commercial real estate may necessitate investigation beyond that identified in the Phase 0. A Phase 0 does not meet the requirements and standards of a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment following ASTM E1537-05. Phase 0s are used to identify and understand potential environmental concerns for a site, prior to real estate transactions or financing. Noise/Vibration (PlaceWorks) PlaceWorks will prepare a noise and vibration analysis for construction and operational activities associated with the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan. The noise analysis will be consistent with the noise standards and criteria of the State of California Building Code, as well as the City’s General Plan and Municipal Code. Traffic noise modeling will be conducted based on the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model by using average daily roadway volumes provided by the traffic consultant (Xxxx & Peers). Short-term noise monitoring will be conducted to obtain average noise levels in the project area and to confirm the modeling results. Changes in ambient traffic noise levels at build-out of the project and from cumulative growth in the region will be analyzed. Noise impacts from non-transportation noise sources will be based on the noise limits of the City’s Municipal Code and the level of significance will be based on the magnitude of noise and vibration generated at adjacent noise- sensitive receptors and the length of construction activities. PlaceWorks will also evaluate the long-term noise and vibration impacts from the operation of the proposed uses on adjacent off-site uses, based on the proposed land use designations and anticipated transportation improvements anticipated for the area. Transportation and Traffic (Xxxx & Peers) Xxxx & Peers will prepare a transportation technical analysis. The following is assumed under this task: Mixed-Use Trip Generation Method (MXD) tool will be used to estimate vehicle trips (VT) and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per service population Up to 15 total roadway facilities (either intersection or roadway segment) will be evaluated Intersection operations will be limited to AM and PM peak hours Future traffic volume forecasts will be developed utilizing forecasts for the City’s General Plan EIR Transit assessment will be developed based on capacity of the system and the ridership increased projected with the project Response to comments (20 hours of staff time and no new technical analysis). Water Supply Assessment (Xxxxxx) Xxxxxx will prepare a preliminary and final Water Supply Assessment (WSA). A WSA is required by Senate Bills 221 and 610 for any project as defined by CEQA that would require an equivalent amount of water to 500 dwelling units. In order to comply with the requirements of the legislature, the WSA must demonstrate that the water agency serving the project has an adequate and reliable water supply for the project and all other projected demands within the agency for a minimum of 20 years into the future. Since the City has taken an aggressive stance toward water conservation and water recycling, it is anticipated that any additional water demand due to the increase in development intensity within the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan will be minimized and this will be analyzed, addressed, and documented in the WSA. Citywide water demand projections will also be updated into the future using data from the City’s 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (2015 Plan, if available) and the most recent WSA, Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan, as a baseline. Preparation of the WSA will be coordinated with Anaheim Public Utilities – Water, as well as the Planning Department.

The noise analysis will be consistent with the noise standards and criteria of the State of California Building Codetrips, as well as the Citypotential for increased development density under the TASP update. Accordingly, ICF proposes to quantify criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from buildout of the TASP Update (if changed compared to the original Plan), which may include 170 acres of the remaining undeveloped land within the TASP and some adjacent parcels. ICF will use the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s General Plan and Municipal Code(BAAQMD) most recent CEQA Air Quality Guidelines to evaluate project impacts. Traffic noise modeling We will be conducted describe the air quality thresholds used to identify significant impacts based on the Federal Highway AdministrationBAAQMD’s (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model by using average daily roadway volumes Guidelines and guidance provided by BAAQMD staff, as well as the traffic consultant (Xxxx & Peers)methodology used to estimate emissions. Where appropriate, ICF will incorporate relevant environmental setting information from the 2008 EIR into the SEIR for the TASP Update. The air quality and GHG chapters will present all new or updated regulations and background data as it applies to the project. The impact analysis for the TASP Update will assess the following: Short-term noise monitoring emissions from construction: Construction-related emissions resulting from development under the TASP Update will be conducted evaluated qualitatively. We will identify construction-related mitigation measures recommended by the BAAQMD to obtain average noise levels in reduce air quality impacts from future development. This scope does not include a quantitative construction emissions analysis.

A WSA is required by Senate Bills 221 and 610 for any project as defined by CEQA that would require an equivalent amount of water to 500 dwelling units. In order to comply with the requirements of the legislature, the WSA must demonstrate that the water agency serving the project has an adequate and reliable water supply for the project and all other projected demands within the agency for a minimum of 20 years into the future. Since the City has taken an aggressive stance toward water conservation and water recycling, it is anticipated that any additional water demand due to the increase in development intensity within the Beach Boulevard Specific Plan will be minimized and this will be analyzed, addressed, and documented in the WSA. Citywide water demand projections will also be updated into the future using land use data from the City’s 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (2015 Plan. The analysis will quantify, if available) to the extent feasible, emissions reductions achieved by current and new TASP sustainability policies. Emissions will be quantified under existing conditions and future buildout with and without the TASP Update. Mitigation to reduce operational criteria pollutant and GHG emissions from future development under the TASP Update will be proposed and analyzed, as necessary. Operational air quality impacts associated with growth under the TASP Update will be evaluated by determining whether it is consistent with the most recent WSA, Anaheim Canyon Specific Plan, as a baseline. Preparation of the WSA will be coordinated with Anaheim Public Utilities – Waterrecently adopted Clean Air Plan prepared by BAAQMD, as well as with their recommended analysis thresholds. While the Planning DepartmentCity has a climate action plan (CAP), it is only qualified for CEQA tiering to 2020 and therefore cannot be used to evaluate GHG emissions beyond the 2020 planning horizon. Hydrology Likewise, BAAQMD’s current GHG thresholds are derived from the state’s 2020 GHG reduction goal, and Water Quality Technical Reports therefore may not be appropriate to evaluate emissions generated after 2020. BAAQMD is currently working on an update to their CEQA Guidelines, which is expected to include GHG thresholds to project-level GHG emissions relative to the state’s post-2020 GHG reduction targets. Because the regulatory environment for GHG emissions is frequently evolving, the significant threshold(s) for evaluating long-term GHG impacts for the TASP Update will be finalized at the time of analysis preparation. The ultimate GHG threshold(s) will be selected in close coordination with BAAQMD and Sewer Technical Memorandum (Fuscoe) Fuscoe consider all applicable case law and air district and expert agency guidance.
