The attachment contains letters from the public expressing concerns regarding a project related to environmental impacts, particularly operational noise, health risks from diesel exposure, traffic safety, and land use compatibility. Several individuals request a delay in the vote to allow for independent environmental and traffic studies, citing that the current environmental review is incomplete and does not adequately address significant issues. They urge the Council to mandate a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or at least a continuance for further analysis.

Concerns about operational noise from 24/7 truck activity and its impact on sleep disturbance.
Health risk assessments related to diesel exposure and air quality modeling are deemed insufficient.
Traffic safety issues, including conflicts between trucks and pedestrians/bicycles, have not been adequately analyzed.
The project site is within a Transit Employment Center, raising questions about compatibility with nearby residential areas.
Cumulative impacts of the project have not been meaningfully evaluated.
New regulatory standards established by AB 98 require compliance analysis that is currently lacking.
Multiple individuals request a delay in the vote to conduct independent studies and urge for a full EIR.

2/23/26, 4:23 PM Inbox - Agendadesk - Outlook and impaired participation. 2. Substantive Environmental Gaps Trigger the CEQA Fair Argument Standard Under CEQA’s Fair Argument standard, an EIR is required if there is substantial evidence that a project may result in significant environmental effects. That threshold is met here in multiple areas: Operational Noise (24/7 Truck Activity) The MND relies heavily on averaged metrics (DNL and modeled Lmax values). However, sleep disturbance is driven by peak nighttime events — backup alarms, trailer impacts, air brake releases — not 24-hour averages. The record does not clearly disclose nighttime event frequency assumptions, receptor elevations (multi-story homes), or the verifiable performance of the proposed 8-foot wall. Averaged compliance does not eliminate the potential for significant sleep disruption impacts. Diesel Health Risk and Air Quality Modeling Transparency Health risk conclusions depend entirely on modeling inputs: truck volumes, fleet mix, idling duration, time-of-day activity, and operational intensity. The record does not clearly disclose those operational assumptions in a way that allows independent verification....
