Mitigation
Measure
4.B-2a.
Construction
requirements
to
reduce
vehicle
emissions.
Mitigation
Measure
4.B-2b.
All
off-road
construction
equipment
used
for
site
improvements
to
be
equipped
with
Tier
3
(Tier
2
if
greater
than
750
hp)
diesel
engines
or
better.
All
diesel
generators
used
for
project
construction
must
meet
Tier
4
emissions
standards.
If
new
emissions
standards
are
adopted
by
U.S.
EPA
during
project
construction,
construction
contract
specifications
shall
incorporate
whichever
standard
is
more
stringent.
Mitigation
Measure
4.B-4.
Implementation
of
emissions
reduction
measures
identified
in
the
2012
BAAQMD
CEQA
Guidelines
for
site-
specific
development
projects.
Mitigation
Measure
4.B-9.
Transportation
demand
management.
Mitigation
Measure
4.F-1:
Greenhouse
Gases
Emissions
Reduction
Plan.
Mitigation
Measure
4.P-1:
Energy
efficiency
during
construction
activities.
Mitigation
Measure
4.P-2a:
New
buildings
to
achieve
a
LEED
Gold
rating,
rather
than
the
LEED
Silver
rating
now
required
by
the
Municipal
Code.
All
appliances
installed
as
part
of
original
building
construction
to
be
ENERGY
STAR
rated
or
equivalent.
Mitigation
Measure
4.P-2b:
Energy
efficient
street
and
parking
lot
lighting.
Mitigation
Measure
4.P-2c:
Renewable
energy
production
of
42,000
to
45,000
megawatt
hours
(CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios).
As
identified
on
page
6-1
of
the
Draft
EIR,
air
quality
impacts
will
remain
significant,
even
after
implementation
of
all
feasible
mitigation
measures.
See
for
discussion
regarding
the
adequacy
of
existing
studies
for
use
in
the
Draft
EIR,
for
discussion
of
the
remediation
review
and
approval
process,
and
5
for
discussion
of
the
use
of
regulatory
requirements
to
mitigate
potential
impacts.
The
Draft
EIR
specifically
acknowledges
on
page
6-32
that
the
“cumulative
project
as
a
whole
would
result
in
a
substantially
different
built
environment
than
currently
exists,”
and
that
“cumulative
development
would
increase
development
intensities.”
The
draft
EIR
also
recognizes
that
General
Plan
policies
in
both
the
Brisbane
and
San
Francisco
General
Plans
“set
forth
policies
to
protect
the
character
of
existing
development.”
Thus,
the
Draft
EIR
concluded
that
because
“requirements
for
General
Plan
consistency
would
result
in
development
patterns
that
include
transitions
from
low-density
to
higher
density
uses,”
