HARE MEMORANDUM City Treasurer TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: September 27, 1990 (CC Meeting of 10-3-90) SUBJECT: AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS FOR MISSION BELL PLAZA (CPD'S 89-1 AND 89-2) Background At the August 15 and September 19, 1990, City Council hearings for the above referenced commercial project, the Council requested additional information on air quality impacts. Attached is an information paper from Impact Sciences which provides a response to the following questions: • If the project was reduced 25 percent in size, would there be a significant reduction in air emissions when compared to the proposed project? • How big a project could be constructed that would not exceed air quality standards? For the Council's October 17th meeting, Impact Sciences will provide a response to the following request: ▪ Clarify the air quality impacts of the Mission Bell Plaza development taking into consideration the fact that this project will reduce trips currently made to Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks for commercial services. Recommendation Direct staff as deemed appropriate. Attachment: Air Quality Analysis Information Paper from Impact Sciences PJR/DST 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 • INFORMATION PAPER MISSION BELL PLAZA AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS In response to a request of the City of Moorpark City Council we have supplied additional information regarding potential air quality impacts associated with the Mission Bell Plaza. Two topics were of principal interest and each is identified below. • If the project was reduced 25 percent in size,would there be a significant reduction in air emissions when compared to the proposed project? • How big a project could be constructed that would not exceed air quality standards? In response to the first question we have prepared an exhibit that illustrates the reduction in air quality impacts that would occur if the project (here defined as the lower commercial project component as it generates the largest emissions total) was reduced in size by 25 percent. As illustrated, such a reduction would incrementally reduce air emissions on-site; however, the project would still exceed air quality standards by a significant amount. In response to question two, calculations were made for the lower commercial project component that identified how large a project could be constructed (given the same relative percentages of uses) that would not exceed air quality standards. As calculated, a project totaling approximately 69,458 square feet and five gas pumps would generate emissions at identified thresholds. This data is responsive to the questions identified above. This and other air quality issues will be evaluated as part of this project's Final EIR.
