ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION
AIR QUALITY
1) The construction contractor shall select the construction equipment
used on-site based on low-emission factors and high energy efficiency.
The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading
plans include a statement that all construction equipment will be tuned
and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
2) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or diesel-powered
equipment in-lieu of gasoline powered engines where feasible.
3) The construction contractor shall ensure that construction-grading plans
include a statement that work crews will shut-off equipment when not
in use. During smog season (May through October), the overall length
of the construction period should be extended, thereby decreasing the
size of the area prepared each day, to maximize vehicles and
equipment operating at the same time.
4) The construction contractor shall support and encourage ride-sharing
and transit incentives for the construction crew.
5) Dust generated by the development activities shall be retained on-site
and kept to a minimum by the following dust control measures listed
below:
i) During clearing, grading, earth-moving, excavation, or
transportation of cut or fill material, water trucks or sprinkler
systems shall be used to create a crust after each days activities
cease.
ii) During construction, water trucks, or sprinkler systems shall be
used to keep all areas of vehicle movement damp enough to
prevent dust from leaving the site. At a minimum, this would
include wetting down such areas in the later morning and after
work is completed for the day, and whenever wind exceeds 15
miles per hour.
iii) After clearing, grading, earth-moving, or excavation is completed,
the entire area of disturbed soil shall be treated immediately by
pickup of the soil until the area is paved or otherwise developed
so that the dust generation will not occur. Soil stockpiled for more
than two days shall be covered, kept moist, or treated with soil
binders to prevent dust generation.
iv) Trucks transporting soil, sand, or cut or fill material and/or
construction debris to or from the site shall be tarped from the
point of origin.

6) The construction contractor shall utilize, as much as possible, pre-
coated natural colored building materials water-based or low-VOC
coating, and coating transfer or spray equipment with a high transfer
efficiency, such as high volume low pressure (HVLP) spray method, or
manual coating applications such as paint brush, hand roller, trowel,
spatula, dauber, rag or sponge.
TRANSPORTATION
1) The project applicant shall widen and re-stripe Arrow Route along the
project frontage to provide a center two-way left-turn lane for
westbound project traffic at the two project driveways. If this project
precedes proposed development on the north side of Arrow Route, the
implementation of the left-tum lane would require pavement widening
of 12 feet on the north side for a distance of about 300 feet to the east
of the Origen Rail Center.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
1) Mature trees along the easterly property boundary shall be preserved
in place. The trees shall be protected by a construction barrier in
accordance with Municipal Code Section 19.08.110 and so noted on
