Victory Gardens Environmental Questions Attachment • None is seen since residential use is already allowable in the two Migrant Centers located on the property. Additionally, the Veterans to be housed are expected to need care from the existing VA Clinic and the proposed larger VA Clinic as well as the County Hospital. Air Quality: Describe air pollutants that may result from the Text Amendment(e.g.,vehicle trips per day, fire places, incinerators, etc.): • Earth Work: During initial clearing of the site and grading operations particulates can be generated that can have a short-term impact to the air quality. Contractors during this type of construction operations are required to use water trucks in order to reduce dust. • Fireplaces:The design of the individual units are planned not to have individual fireplaces.The Community rooms and buildings may have a fireplace but will only be designed to burn natural gas as means to provide a flame. Woodburning fireplaces and fire pits will not be constructed to burn natural wood. • Increased Vehicles:The current design is for 49-units for tenant's that are singles and couples that are low to very low income that we expect to have approximately on average one (1) vehicle per dwelling unit. Other additional trips might be seen by additional delivery trucks to the sight.This would be probably a bi-weekly to once a month delivery of various items for the community. • Incinerators&Other Sources: Based on California Air Quality Control No other items at this time are expected to generate pollutants that can affect air quality.The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District(SJVAPCD) website states, "Federal and state laws require emission control measures in areas where air pollution exceeds standards.The San Joaquin Valley is one of these areas."The design and construction of Victory Gardens will strive to meet the SJVAPCD's measures and install appliances that air pollution guidelines. Other: Describe any potential effect on historic or archaeologic resources(e.g. cemeteries or structures): • Cemeteries:There is a cemetery that is located approximately 510-feet to the west/southwest and on the south side of Mathews Road from the proposed project.This cemetery is known as the Chinese Cemetery and is not impacting the proposed project site. • Structures:The project site is clear of any buildings and other structures. It is vacant and appears to have always been vacant,therefore the property appears to effect any historic or archaeologic resources. Describe any potential for increasing noise,vibration,glare or odor: • Potential Increase:There appears to be no impact outside of the temporary construction activities of the project that will generate an increase in noise,vibration,glare and odor. 31 Page
