  4. NUMMI FACTS • Built over 5 million vehicles since 1984 • Employs about 6000 team members • 80% represented by UAW Local 2244 • Annual payroll $5.2 million • Supports 15,000 California jobs • Over $1 billion in California purchases

  5. Land Use Policy • Land use decisions should consider the impact of projects on the community, and the impacts of the community on the project. • Smart growth should protect residential and industrial areas from infill development that will harm the social and economic vitality of the community.

  6. Smart Growth • Residential development should provide safe and healthy housing. • Development policies must be in harmony with the social, health, environmental, and economic needs of the community • Avoid LULUs (locally unwanted land uses)

  7. Warm Springs BART Station • Presently no housing is within walking distance of the station site except Sunrise Village homeless shelter. • Area is zoned industrial. • Site wedged between I-680, I-880, railroad switching yard, NUMMI, other industrials.

  8. Existing Impacts on the Site Truck Traffic • Heavy highway traffic on both freeways and city streets • High density of truck traffic generates diesel exhaust fumes. • Traffic is noisy and congested

  9. Existing Impacts on the Site Railroad Switching Yard • Union Pacific switching yard serves numerous Bay Area customers. • Diesel switching engines continually move rail cars within the yard, 24 hours a day. • Switching activities are a source of diesel emissions and noise (numerous complaints)

  10. Existing Impacts on the Site NUMMI • Team member and truck traffic from 5 AM to 2 AM, weekdays • Noise, light, and occasional odors from manufacturing operations

  11. Existing Impacts on the Site Surrounding Industrial Operations • Transportation, storage and use of hazardous chemicals. • Local truck and employee traffic is a source of congestion and diesel exhaust fumes.

  12. Aggregation of Impacts • All existing local impacts should be qualitatively analyzed when determining the suitability of a site for housing. • Air quality impact should be quantitatively analyzed to determine the risk to prospective residents of a project. • Mitigation should be appropriate for the risk

  13. Siting Considerations • Local government must consider existing health and welfare impacts on the parcel in question and the impact of the development on the community. • Environmental review should analyze the impacts of the environment on the project. • Screening distances and buffers for new projects should be determined based on exposure and risks: • nuisances, e.g. traffic, noise, odor, light • air quality & hazardous chemical storage

  14. The End
