The applicant requests that the General Plan Circulation Element be modified to change the designation of Central A venue, between Tippecanoe A venue and Lena Road, from Major Arterial to Secondary Arterial. The project includes a request to construct a 914.280-sq.ft. warehouse/distribution facility and site improvements on a vacant 40.5-acre property (Attachment B - Site Plan) and adjust property lines between two parcels (Attachment C - Lot Line Adjustment). The property is in the IL, Industrial Light land use district. SETTING & SITE CHARACTERISTICS The project site is presently vacant and unimproved. The site is generally flat and does not have any environmental problems or concerns. The properties surrounding the site to the north and east are vacant parcels with some single-family residences in the IL, Industrial Light land use district. To the west are vacant parcels and industrial businesses in the IL, Industrial Light land use district. To the south are vacant properties and single-family residences in the IL, Industrial Light land use district. BACKGROUND The Development & Environmental Review Committee CD/ERC) reviewed this project on March 3, 2005, and requested revisions to the plans and preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis report. On June 9, 2005, the D/ERC reviewed the revised plans, the Initial Study, and the traffic impact report, and moved the project to the Planning Commission. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) An Initial Study was prepared for this project according to the CEQA Guidelines (Attachment D - Initial Study), and identified mitigation measures for potential impacts to Biological Resources, Geology & Soils, Hazards & Hazardous Materials, Hydrology & Water Quality, Noise, and Transportation & Traffic. The majority of impacts relate to Transportation/Traffic, and to mitigate those impacts the developer will 1) construct improvements adjacent to the project site and 2) contribute fair-share fees for off-site roadway improvements identified in the Traffic Impact Analysis. The Initial Study concluded that all potential impacts could be mitigated through standard requirements, construction of improvements, or contribution of fair-share fees (Attachment E - Mitigation Monitoring & Reporting Program). A Mitigated Negative Declaration was recommended for this project. The public review period for the Initial Study was between June 16, 2005, and July 5, 2005. No comments or concerns have been received. The D/ERC has recommended that a Mitigated Negative Declaration be adopted for this project. GPA No. 05-03, DPII No. 05-05, LLA ."u OS-Oj Meeting Date July 19. ]OOj Page 3 FINDINGS & ANALYSIS GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT I. Is the proposed amendmelll illlernally consistelll tvith the General Plan:) Yes, the proposal is consistent with existing General Plan policies. Currently, Central A venue is designated a Secondary Arterial between Arrowhead A venue and Lena Road; the only portion of Central A venue that has been designated a Major Arterial is between Lena Road and Tippecanoe A venue. With project approval, additional dedication and improvements along Central A venue will meet the right-of-way standard of 88 feet for a Secondary Arterial. The conditions of approval will implement General Plan Objective 6.1 in the Circulation Element, which states: Provide a transportation system through the design and construction of individual improvement projects that provides the capacity necessary to accommodate the levels and types of traffic forecast to be generated by the land use plan. The proposal will also be consistent with future General Plan policies. As part of the General Plan Update Program, the City reviewed the designations of all Major, Secondary, and Collector roadways to determine if the designations were still appropriate. Development Services is recommending that several roads be reclassified, including changing Central A venue from a Major to a Secondary Arterial between Lena Road and Tippecanoe Avenue. However, this project is slightly ahead of the General Plan Update, which necessitates an amendment to the current Circulation Element. ') Is the proposed amendment detrimental to the public illlerest, health, safety, convenience. or welfare of the Cit.v? t-io, maintaining Central Avenue at an 88-foot right-of-way to function as a Secondary Arterial will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The proposed amendment and roadway improvements will accommodate the levels and types of traffic forecast to be generated by this project. 3. Does the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the Citv? The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element will not change the property's current land use designation of Industrial Light, and will not alter the balance of land uses within the City. The proposed modification of Central A venue from Major Arterial to Secondary Arterial will not affect the balance of land uses within the City. CPA No. 05-03, DP/1 No 05-05, LLA l\IJ 05-()5 Meeting Dace Juh' /9. ]()()5 Page .; 4. Is the subject parcel physicalzr suitable (including. but not limited to, access, provision of utilities. compatibili~\' with adjoining land uses. and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation and anticipated land use development? The proposed amendment to the Circulation Element will not affect the property's physical suitability for this project. The project site currently has access to dedicated public streets and existing infrastructure that are suitable for industrial development. DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (TYPE II) 1. Is tlce proposed development permitted within the subject zoning district and does it comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Development Code. including prescribed development/site standards and any/all applicable design guidelines? The proposed development and intended land use will be compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area. The proposed project complies with the development standards contained in the Development Code as shown in Table' A.'

The screen wall along the Central Avenue frontage has offset planes, and the conceptual landscape plan emphasizes extensive landscaping along the street frontage. The proposed building portrays office-type fayades at the main entrances fronting on Central Avenue, incorporates vertical and horizontal articulations, and reflective glass with aluminum moldings on the front elevations (Attachment F - Elevations). For the on-site circulation plan, the parking areas are separate from the truck circulation patterns to reduce vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. 2. Is the proposed use consistent with the General Plan? Yes, the proposed development and intended use is consistent with the General Plan land use designation for the property, which includes warehousing, wholesale, distribution, and transportation uses. The building design meets Policy 1.32.30, which states, "Require that buildings be designed to convey visual interest and character. . .." The proposed landscaping along the street frontage meets Policy 1.32.31, which states, "Require that development projects incorporate extensive landscape setback along principal street frontages, including ground cover, shrubs, trees, and decorative walls." 3. Is the proposed development harmonious and compatible with existing and future developments within the land use district and general area, as well as the land uses presently on the subject property? Yes, the proposed development and intended land use will be compatible with existing and future development in the surrounding area. The properties to the north and east are vacant and will not be adversely affected. The properties to the west have existing light industrial development. The properties to the south are a mix of single-family residences and vacant parcels. The Development Code considers existing single- family residences that were established prior to June 3, 1991, to be Permitted uses in the IL land use district. The developer will construct a screen wall and landscape buffer between the project site and existing homes across the street to reduce noise and visual impacts. 4. Is approval of the Development Permit for the proposed development in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section 19.20.030(6) of the Development Code? Yes, approval of the Development Permit is in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Development Code 919.20.030(6) pertaining to environmental resources and constraints. There are no sensitive habitats or species on or near the project location. The site does not have any environmental problems or concerns. The Development & Environmental Review Committee has recommended that a Mitigated Negative Declaration be adopted for this project. GPA No. 05-03. DPII No 05-05. LLA So. 05-05 Meeting Dale JlIl,. /9. ]005 Pu~e () 5. Are there potential~\' significal1t negative impacts upon environmental qzwlin. and natural resources that could not be proper~\' mitigated and monitored? No, the proposed project is not likely to cause significant adverse impacts on environmental quality and natural resources. The site previously contained four inactive groundwater monitoring wells that had been installed and utilized by the Air Force (which have been removed and no longer exist on the property). The wells were used for monitoring a plume in the water table far beneath the property. No soil or groundwater contamination has been identified on the property. The project site is not listed in any state or federal databases of hazardous sites. 6. Is the subject site physically suitable for the t)pe and density/intensity of use being proposed? Yes, the site has an appropriate size and location for a large warehouse/distribution facility. Improvements to infrastructure, such as roads, will provide the necessary public services to the project. The developer has merged one small parcel so that they may adjust lot lines and create one 40.S-acre parcel to accommodate the entire project. Another 6.3-acre parcel, north of the project site, is not proposed for development at this time. The applicant intends to develop the parcel at a future date in conjunction with the property to the north of it (fronting on Mill Street). However, for the interim, staff is requiring reciprocal access, parking, and drainage between the 6.3-acre parcel and the 40.S-acre parcel proposed for development. 7. Are there adequate provisions for public access. water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use 'would not be detrimental to puhlic health and safety 7 Yes, all City departments and divisions responsible for providing access, water, sanitation, and other public services have had the opportunity to review the proposal. None of the departments/divisions have indicated an inability to serve the proposed development. Connecting to the existing utility lines surrounding the location can provide water, sewer, power, and telephone services. Off-site storm drain facilities will be constructed for this project according to Public Works Division design requirements. The project will not be detrimental to public health and safety. 8. Are the location. size, design. and operating characteristics of the proposed development detrimental to the public interest. health, safety. convenience. or welfare uf the City 7 No, the project will not will not be detrimental to the public interest, health. safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The Initial Study prepared for this project indicated that the proposal will not generate significant noise, traffic, or other environmental conditions that cannot be mitigated. The mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study will adequately reduce the impacts that can be expected from construction and operations. The project must comply with the operating standards contained in Development Code S 19.20 (Property Development Standards). GPA No. 05-03. DPll No. 05-05.

The proposed 48- inch storm drain will connect to a 66-inch storm drain to be installed in the south side of Central Avenue. The Central A venue storm drain will continue westward for approximately 760 feet before turning south at Valley View Avenue. Approximately 280 feet of storm drain in Valley View Avenue will connect to the proposed 15.5- acre-foot off-site detention basin. General Plan Amendment The Proposed Project includes an amendment to the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan, the purpose of which is to amend the designation of Central Avenue. Currently, the City's General Plan Circulation Element designates Central Avenue (from Tippecanoe Avenue to Lena Road) as a "Major Arterial" (lOO-foot right-of- way.) The General Plan Amendment (GPA) will change the designation of this roadway to "Secondary Arterial" (88-foot right-of-way). Lot Line Adjustment Currently, the site consists of three parcels. Parcel 1 is an approximate 20 acre parcel fronting on Central A venue. Parcel 2 is an approximate 25 acre parcel fronting on Central A venue, with a portion of the parcel being situated behind and westerly of the USFS parking area. Parcel 3 is a small, 1.5 acre parcel also fronting on Central Avenue. The proposed Lot Line Adjustment will merge the parcels fronting on Central A venue into a single, 40.5 acre parcel (Parcel A), with a second parcel (Parcel B) being located to the rear of 40.5 acre parcel and westerly of the llSFS parking area. Access to the proposed second parcel will be provided through the Central Avenue fronting parcel by way of a recorded easement. 8.

Existing development within the project vicinity includes residential uses along the south side of Central A venue and along Santa Fe Street, an industrial park on the east side of Gifford Avenue, and residential structures on the west side of Tippecanoe Avenue. Trash, consisting primarily of household refuse, tires, and furniture was observed in vacant areas and along Central A venue. Neither the project site, nor roadways in the project area are designated as significant visual resources nor do they provide scenic vistas.' In the absence of any such designation, no adverse effect related to this issue will result from the development of the Proposed Project. No impact related to this issue will occur. 1.b-c An abandoned Air Force guard shack, the remains of a second structure, and four inactive groundwater monitoring wells are located within a smaller, fenced-off portion of the site. The balance of the project site is undeveloped. No significant scenic resource is located within the project limits, nor is the project site located adjacent to a State-designated scenic highway. The Proposed Project will result in the construction of up to approximately 900,480 square feet of warehouse uses. The proposed structure will be designed and constructed in compliance with applicable City standards. A screen wall located along the southern edge of the truck parking area will screen views of this area from Central A venue. Approximately 119,500 square feet of landscaping, consisting of a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover, will be installed along Central A venue and within employee parking areas.

The development permitted by approval of the Proposed Project will require that on-site structures be designed and constructed in compliance with the standards established in City's General Plan and Development Code. Compliance with these standards will ensure that potential impacts associated with changes to the existing visual character of the project site will be less than significant. I.d Development of the Proposed Project will result, through the installation of on-site lighting, in an incremental increase in the amount of indirect light and glare within the site and adjacent areas. The City's Development Codel includes provisions to contain the direct glare and reflections within the property boundaries. Adherence to applicable standards contained in Section 19.20.030 of the Development Code and/or other City requirements will reduce impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level.

"Other Land" is defined as land that is not included in any of the other farmland mapping categories. Uses with this designation generally include rural development with a building density of less than one structure per 1.5 acres, brush, timber, wetlands, and other lands not suitable for livestock grazing; government lands not available for agricultural use; road systems for freeway interchanges; and vacant non-agricultural land larger than 40 acres in size which is surrounded on all sides by urban development. No Williamson Act Conservation Contract exists on any property within the project limits. No agricultural activity occurs on-site, nor is the property zoned for such operations. As no Prime, Unique, or Statewide Important Farmland is located within the project limits, and because the construction and occupancy of the will not result in the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural uses, no agricultural resource impact will occur.

The SCAB is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the San Gabriel, San Bernardino, and San Jacinto Mountains to the north and east. It includes all of Orange County, the non-Antelope Valley portions of Los Angeles County, and the non-desert portions of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. The current regional air quality plan is the 2003 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) adopted by the South Coast Air Quality Management District on August I, 2003. The 2003 AQMP updates the attainment demonstration for the standards for ozone and PM 10, replaces the 1997 attainment demonstration for the Federal carbon monoxide (CO) standard, provides a basis for a maintenance plan for CO for the future, and updates the maintenance plan for the Federal nitrogen dioxide (N02) standard that the SCAB has met since 1992. The SCAB is currently a Federal and State non-attainment area for PM 10 and ozone. The AQMP incorporates local general plan land use assumptions and regional growth projections developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) to estimate stationary and mobile source emissions associated with projected population and planned land uses. If a new land use is consistent with the local General Plan and the regional growth projections adopted in the AQMP. then the R:\HLW434\Galeway Nonh IS-Revi!ieCl 0.5130S.doc IS 11 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY added emissions generated by the new project has been evaluated and contained in AQMP and would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the regional AQMP. Because the Proposed Project is consistent with the development envisioned in the City's General Plan, it would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of any of the control measures in the AQMP. No impact related to this issue will occur. III.b. The SCAQMD has developed the CEQA Air Quality Handbook (1993) that establishes suggested significance thresholds based on the volume of pollution emined. According to the Handbook, any project in the Basin with daily emissions that exceed any of the following thresholds should be considered as having an individually and cumulatively significant air quality impact: . 55 Ibs. per day of ROC (reactive organic compounds) (75 IbsJday during construction) . 55 Ibs. per day of NOx (oxides of nitrogen) (100 IbsJday during construction) . 550 Ibs. per day of CO (carbon monoxide) (550 Ibs.lday during construction) . 150 Ibs. per day of PMlO (150 Ibs.lday during construction) . 150 Ibs. per day of SOx (oxides of sulfur) (150 IbsJday during construction) Construction-related Emissions. During the construction phases of development, on-site stationary sources, heavy-duty construction vehicles, construction worker vehicles, and energy use will generate emissions. In addition, fugitive dust would also be generated during grading and construction activities. Exhaust emissions during the construction activities envisioned on-site would vary daily as construction activity levels change. Fugitive dust emissions are generally associated with demolition, land clearing, exposure, and cut and fill operations. Dust generated daily during construction would vary substantially, depending on the level of activity, the specific operations, and weather conditions. Nearby sensitive receptors and on-site workers may be exposed to blowing dust, depending upon prevailing wind conditions. The nearest sensitive receptors to the project site are residential dwellings located directly across Central A venue from the Proposed Project site. The closest of these structures is located approximately 75 feet south of the southern property line. The site for the proposed development consists of a total of 40.5 acres. It is not expected that the entire project site would be graded or disturbed at the same time. Therefore, it is assumed that up to a maximum of three acres of land would be under mass grading on anyone day. It is also assumed that one dozer, along with other equipment, would be used up to eight hours per day. The construction-related emissions resulting from typical grading of 3.0 acres per day are identified in Table B. The project will be required to comply with regional rules, which would assist in reducing the short-term air pollutant emissions. SCAQMD Rule 403 requires that fugitive dust be controlled with best available control measures so that the presence of such dust does not remain visible in the atmosphere beyond the property line of the emission source. In addition, SCAQMD Rule 402 requires implementation of dust suppression techniques to prevent fugitive dust from creating a nuisance off site. Implementation of these dust suppression techniques as required by the SCAQMD can reduce the fugitive dust generation (and thus the PMlO component) by 50 to 75 percent. Assuming the level of grading and equipment activity stated in Table B, and standard fugitive dust control measures achieving an efficiency of 50 percent, no pollutant would exceed established SCAQMD significance thresholds during project construction.

The pollutant emissions associated with the operation of the Proposed Project were assessed using the URBEMIS 2002 model, a computer model that evaluates air quality impacts. The analysis assesses the mobile source emissions generated by vehicles driving to and from the proposed land uses, as well as area source emissions generated by project heating and electrical systems. The Proposed Project anticipates the development of up to 900,480 square feet of warehouse uses. The volume of emissions that would result from the development and operation of proposed warehouse facility are identified in Table C.

As identified in Table C, the level of emissions resulting from operation of the proposed project would not exceed SCAQMD significance thresholds. Furthermore, as stated in the response to Checklist Question lILa, the AQMP incorporates local General Plan land use assumptions and regional growth projections to estimate stationary and mobile source emissions associated with projected population and planned land uses. New development consistent with the local General Plan and the regional growth projections adopted in the AQMP would generate emissions consistent with the AQMP. As the Proposed Project is consistent with the City's General Plan R:\HL W 434\Ga1ewa) ~onh lS-Revi!ed os 130~.doc IS 13 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY and Development Code, and because future operational emissions will be less than SCAQMD standards, no significant impact related to this issue will occur. lILc The construction and operation of the Proposed Project would contribute pollutant emissions within the SCAB, a non-attainment zone for ozone and PM 10. Emissions from proposed warehouse facility, in combination with other projects within the SCAB would contribute to continuing violations of State and Federal air pollution standards. The project site has been designated for the development of "Light Industrial" uses in the City's General Plan. The permitted lot coverage for properties within the "IL" district is 75 percent. Assuming maximum lot coverage permitted under the City's Development Code, up to 1.323 million square feet of industrial development could be developed on the 40.S-acre project site. As previously stated, the Proposed Project will result in the construction and operation of up to 900,480 square feet of warehouse uses, or approximately 68 percent of the development permitted by the City for the project site. In the preparation of its AQMP, the SCAQMD relies upon land use data provided by cities within the SCAB region. While the proposed warehouse facility will contribute air emissions to an air basin that is currently designated a non-attainment zone for ozone and PMIO, the level of development, and therefore the volume of emissions generated, is reduced from that previously identified in either the City's General Plan or AQMP. In certifying the environmental document for its General Plan, the City has previously recognized that impacts associated with development in the City would result in significant and unavoidable air quality impacts. Because the Proposed Project reduces the level of development from the maximum that is permitted on-site, any potential cumulative air quality impact would be correspondingly reduced. Because the cumulative air quality impacts assigned to the Proposed Project fall within the impacts identified in the City's General Plan EIR, and because the General Plan land use data was used to formulate the AQMP, no significant impact related to this issue will occur. III.d Please refer to the Response to Checklist Questions lILa-b. Appendix A includes existing and future (Years 2005 and 2006) data on potential concentrations of carbon monoxide in the project area. As shown in Appendix A, increases in traffic resulting from the operation of the Proposed Project would not contribute to localized concentrations of carbon monoxide ("CO hotspots".) No significant impact related to this issue will occur. III.e During construction, the various diesel-powered vehicles and equipment in use on the site would create odors. The application of architectural coatings and installation of asphalt may generate odors. These odors are temporary and not likely to be noticeable beyond the project boundaries. General development standards prohibit the emission of obnoxious odors or fumes during operation of the site. Additionally, standard SCAQMD requirements regarding the application of architectural coatings and the installation of asphalt surfaces are sufficient to reduce temporary odor impacts to a Jess than significant level; therefore, no mitigation is required.

An abandoned Air Force guard shack, the remains of a second structure. and four inactive groundwater monitoring weBs are located within a smaller, fenced off portion of the site. On-site vegetation consists of dense non-native vegetation (primarily non-native grasses). A records search was conducted using the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB) for information regarding sensitive biological resources known to occur in the San Bernardino South USGS topographic quadrangle and surrounding areas. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Electronic Inventory and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and California Department of Fish and Game R \HLWJ'J\(JJ1('\I,3} Sonh IS.Re\lo;edOS1~.doc IS 15 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY (CDFG) sensitive species lists were also referenced. Special status species include all Federal- and State endangered and threatened species, former Federal candidate species, and California species of special concern. Twelve species listed by the State and/or Federal government as endangered or threatened were identified as having the potential to occur within the project area.l Because of the lack of suitable on-site habitat, the disturbed nature of the site, and adjacent development, no endangered/threatened species is likely to occur within the project limits. Confirmation of the results of the habitat assessment is provided in Appendix B2. The Proposed Project site is not within the federally-designated Critical Habitat established for any threatened or endangered species.3 Thirteen non-listed sensitive species were identified as having the potential to occur within the project vicinity. Of these, only the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia hypugea) is anticipated to have the potential of occupying the site. Implementation of the following mitigation measure will reduce potential impacts to the burrowing owl to a less than significant level. BIO-l Focused surveys for the western burrowing owl shall be conducted to determine the on-site presence/absence of this species. The focused western burrowing owl survey shall be conducted between December I and August 31 and/or within 30 days prior to the commencement of grading activities. If it is determined that the project site is occupied by this species, Mitigation Measure BO-2 shall apply. Conversely, if the project site is not occupied, Mitigation Measure BIO-2 shall not be required. BIO-2 Any western burrowing owls identified on-site shall be relocated prior to the commencement of grading activities. The relocation of any specimen shall be conducted per applicable CDFG and/or USFWS procedures. Relocation of on-site burrowing owls shall not be permitted during the nesting season for this species. IV.b-c The project site is currently undeveloped, but has been previously disturbed (former Air Force structures.) Dense non-native vegetation (primarily non-native grasses) covers the site. As no native natural vegetative community exists within the limits of the project site, the development of the proposed warehouse facility not adversely affect any natural community identified as sensitive by the CDFG and/or the USFWS. Because no jurisdictional wetlands or riparian areas are located within the project limits, no impact to riparian habitat or federally protected wetlands will result from the development of the Proposed Project. IV.d While small areas of vacant land are located adjacent to the project site, most of the surrounding area is developed with residential, industrial, or commercial uses. The installation of roadways and other infrastructure features further isolates the project site from natural areas. Due to the absence of natural habitat on and adjacent to the project site and the separation between the site and potential habitat areas, no wildlife migration and/or movement corridors are located on-site. No impact related to this issue will occur. IV.e As the project site is not located within a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) or Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), no impact related to this issue will occur.

The project site, like most of the San Bernardino Valley is located in an area of high regional seismicity. The San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Loma Linda Faults are located approximately 5.0 miles north/northeast, 2.25 miles west, and 0.7 mile to the southwest, respectively.' The most likely hazard to persons and property would result from ground shaking during a seismic event. A maximum ground acceleration of 0.64 may occur during a magnitude 7.5 earthquake.2 The project site is located in Uniform Building Code Seismic Zone 4. The State has modified the Uniform Building Code (UBC) to incorporate modifications specifically for construction within seismically active areas. Adherence to standards set forth in this revised building code, the California Building Code (CBC), which is required for all construction within the State. Additionally, the geotechnical investigation prepared for the project site included site-specific design, grading, and construction considerations for the proposed on-site uses. The following measure has been identified to reduce the significance of potential geologic and seismic impacts: GEO-l The design and construction of the proposed on-site uses shall adhere to the recommendations identified in the geotechnical investigation prepared for the project site, or as determined appropriate by the City, the standards and requirements established in the CBC. Adherence to the aforementioned mitigation will reduce potential geologic and seismic related impacts to a less than significant level. VI-c. Fault rupture is the most easily avoided seismic hazard. The Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Act) mitigates fault rupture hazards by prohibiting the location of structures for human occupancy across the trace of an active fault. The Act requires the State Geologist to delineate "Earthquake Fault Zones" along faults that are "sufficiently active" and "well defined." The boundary of an "Earthquake Fault Zone" is generally 500 feet from major active faults and from 200 to 300 feet from well defined minor faults. The mapping of active faults has been completed by the State Geologist. These maps are distributed to all affected cities, counties, and State agencies for their use in developing planning policies and controlling renovation or new construction. The Proposed Project is not located within 500 feet from any major active fault and is not located within the boundary of an "Earthquake Fault Zone." Because no fault traces have been located on-site, impacts associated with on-site fault rupture are not anticipated to occur. No impact associated with this issue will occur. VI.d As stated in the response to Checklist Question VI.a, the Proposed Project will require the movement of on-site soils. On-site soils consist of Hanford, coarse sandy loam, 2-9 percent slopes (HaD) and Tujunga gravelly loamy sand (TvC), 0-9 percent slopes.3 There is a medium to high potential for erosion on Hanford soils; and a slight erosion potential on Tujunga soils. The Proposed Project will be required to adhere to applicable provisions of the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, including the submittal of a Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to address erosion and discharge impact associated with the proposed on-site grading. Adherence to the following mitigation measure and applicable provisions of the NPDES permit and SWPPP will reduce potential erosion impacts to a less than significant level.

The plan shall identify specific measures to control on-site and off-site erosion during the entire grading and construction period. The erosion control plan shall at a minimum include the following measures: a. Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to prolonged periods of rain. b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included in the erosion control plan to ensure that any erosion that may occur will be remedied within a specified time frame. VI.e On-site elevations range from 1,055 feet above mean sea level (amsl) at the northeastern comer of the property to 1,038 at the site's southwester comer. Because of the relative flatness of the site, and the lack of any adjacent hillside areas, the site is not located within an area susceptible to slope instability or land/mudsl ides.! Subsidence is the sudden sinking or gradual downward settling of the earth's surface with little or no horizontal motion. Subsidence is caused by a variety of activities, which include (but is not limited to) withdrawal of groundwater, pumping of oil and gas from underground, the collapse of underground mines, liquefaction, and hydrocompaction. The inactive on-site wells were historically utilized to monitor water quality and groundwater levels. These wells will be removed/capped prior to development of the site. Water required by the proposed on-site use will be supplied by the San Bernardino Municipal Water District (SBMWD.) No on-site removal of groundwater will occur. The Proposed Project is located in an area where ground subsidence has the potential to occur.2 Subsidence could occur if a sufficient quantity of groundwater is removed from the underlying groundwater basin. The SBMWD has maintained groundwater levels through a recharge/percolation program. Minor ground subsidence is expected to occur in the soils below the zone of removal due to settlement and machinery working. The subsidence is estimated to be 0.1 to 0.15 feet. The actual amount of subsidence is expected to be variable and will be dependent on the type of machinery uses, repetitions of use, and dynamic effect, all of which are difficult to assess precisely. Adherence to the Mitigation Measures GEO-l and -2, will reduce potential impacts associated with landslides, mudslides, subsidence, or other similar hazards are reduced to a less than significant level. VI.f Liquefaction is a phenomenon that occurs when strong earthquake shaking causes soils to collapse from a sudden loss of cohesion and undergo a transformation from a solid state to a liquefied state. This happens in areas where the soils are saturated with groundwater. Loose soils with particle size in the medium sand to silt range are particularly susceptible to liquefaction when subjected to seismic ground shaking. Affected soils lose all strength during liquefaction and failure of building foundations can occur. Liquefaction typically occurs in areas where groundwater is present within 50 feet of the surface. A portion of the Proposed Project site is located within an area identified as moderately high to moderately susceptible to liquefaction3 during seismic events on either the San Andreas of San Jacinto faults. Very moist to wet soils were encountered in borings at depths of 45 to 50:t feet drilled during the geotechnical investigation4. The City maintains construction standards based on the CBC for development within areas susceptible to liquefaction hazards. Adherence to the Mitigation Measure GEO-l, will reduce potentia] liquefaction hazards to a less than significant level. City of San Bernardino General Plan Update Technical Background Report.

Such Business Plans are required to identify a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCCP) that defines the steps that will be taken by the owner/operator to control, minimize, or prevent spills of hazardous or toxic materials; what responses will be taken to remediate the adverse consequences of any accidental spills and how any contaminated materials will be managed once collected for treatment and disposal. Additionally, any hazardous materials present on-site will be handled in accordance with all applicable State and Federal laws. The handling of hazardous materials and hazardous waste in accordance with all applicable City, State, and Federal laws will reduce the potential impacts associated with an accidental release of hazardous materials into the environmental to a less than significant level. VILc Because no school is located within 0.25 mile of the Proposed Project site, no impact related to this issue will occur. VII.d A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)I has been prepared for the Proposed Project site. This ESA was performed in accordance with the scope and limitations of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Phase I ESA Standard E1527-00 in an effort to identify "recognized environmental conditions" and "historic recognized environmental conditions" (REC and HREC, respectively) within the 80-acre area located at the northwest comer of Tippecanoe and Central Avenues. The Proposed Project site encompasses approximately 40.5 acres of the area surveyed for the ESA. Four inactive groundwater monitoring wells are located within a smaller, fenced off portion of the site. These wells were utilized in the past for monitoring of a plume in the water table. No soil or groundwater contamination has been identified on-site. The inactive groundwater monitoring wells will be removed prior to site preparation and project construction. The project site is not listed on any State or Federal environmental databases including the National Priorities List (NPL); Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) list; Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) list; Resource Conservation and Recovery Act System (RCRIS), Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) Facilities list; Calsites Database; the Solid Waste Facilities and Landfills (SWLF) database; or any Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) database. Additionally, the Proposed Project site is not listed on the State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Site Lists (Cortese list) pursuant to the California Code (Section 65962.5). Of the five sites on surrounding properties that were identified during the database search, none poses ".. .an environmental concern for the site." While no evidence of either an REC or HREC was identified within the limits of the Proposed Project site, two areas of the larger SO-acre survey area constitute a REC. Unidentified pesticides may have been applied to one of these areas: the olive grove located east of the project boundary. During the site reconnaissance for a 2001 ESA ".. .numerous buckets, barrels, and 55-gallon drums were observed." Additionally, ".. .soil staining was observed from a machine leaking oil onto the unpaved ground." These conditions were not observed during the 2004 ESA field reconnaissance.

Vn.e The San Bernardino International Airport (SBrA), a commercial airport with an instrument landing system and a IO,OOO-foot runway, is located less than a mile northeast of the project site. Portions of the project site are located within Airport Overlay District One (AD n. This overlay district is ".. .designed to regulate land use and reduce hazards in an area characterized by high noise levels and substantial accident potential resulting from aircraft operations." Warehouse facilities are a permitted use in AD I, subject to compliance with the standards identified in the Development Code. The SBrA Authority (SBIAA) has identified "Airport Influence Areas" in the areas surrounding airport property.l A majority of the project site is located within the "Inner Safety Zone" (Zone 2) established for the Airport. Zone 2 (identified as "Inner Approach/Departure Zone" in the California Airpon Land Use Planning Handbook) encompasses areas overflown at low altitudes, typically 200-400 feet above runway elevation. Development within Zone 2 limits nonresidential uses, such as shopping centers, most eating establishments, theaters, meeting halls, multi-story office buildings, and labor-intensive manufacturing plants'" The Proposed Project will result in the development of a warehouse facility, a use that is not associated with labor-intensive manufacturing. /\. small portion of the northwest comer of the project site is located within the "Traffic Pattern Zone" (Zone 6). Zone 6 is identified as having a low likelihood of accident occurrence. While the development of high-intensity uses (such as outdoor stadiums) is restricted within this zone, the development of residential uses and most non-residential uses is allowed. The proposed warehouse development is not a high intensity use and is therefore permitted within this zone. As the construction and operation of the proposed on-site uses will be required to adhere to all design, construction, and operating standards established by the City and the SBIAA, no significant impact associated with this issue will occur. VIlJ Access to the project site will be via three driveways on Central Avenue. The eastern and western driveways will provide access to employee parking areas, as well as the truck court on the north side of the building.

The long-term operation of the proposed warehouse facility may incrementally increase the potential for storm runoff from parking areas that is tainted by sediment, petroleum products. andlor other contaminants. Such runoff may contribute to the degradation of water quality in storm flows. The City's NPDES permit establishes measures that sufficiently mitigate potential impacts associated with construction-related discharge. As monitored by the City of San Bernardino, the developer must comply with the NPDES requirements, including the preparation of an SWPPP. In addition to preparation of an SWPPP, the developer will be required to submit a project specific Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). The WQMP will identify measures to treat andlor limit the post-construction entry of contaminants into storm flows. The WQMP is required to be incorporated by reference or attached to project's SWPPP as the Post-Construction Management Plan. In addition to these requirements, prior to the operation of any facility that may utilize hazardous substances, the City requires the development and implementation of a Business Plan that defines the steps that will be taken by the owner/operator to control, minimize, or prevent spills of hazardous or toxic materials; what responses will be taken to remediate the adverse consequences of any accidental spills and how any contaminated materials will be managed once collected for treatment and disposal.

VIII.b Because the Proposed Project will not result in the direct withdrawal of groundwater or interception of the underlying aquifer, no direct impact to groundwater sources wiIl occur. The project site is located within the Bunker Hill Groundwater Basin of the Santa Ana Watershed. Implementation of the Proposed Project would result in the construction of approximately 1.645 million square feet of impermeable surfaces (building and parking areas). Approximately 119,500 square feet of landscaped area would be retained as permeable surface. The construction of impervious surfaces would incrementally reduce the amount of permeable surface area for the groundwater basin; however, the loss of permeable surfaces on the approximately 40.5 acre site is insignificant compared to the groundwater basin's total area of approximately 80,478 acresl and in light of local and regional groundwater recharge activities. Development of the Proposed Project would not result in a significant reduction in the amount of groundwater available due to less of recharge area. Impacts associated with this issue are considered less than significant. vrn.c Please refer to the response to Checklist Question VI.d. VIII.d No significant or jurisdictional drainage is located within the limits of the Proposed Project site. As stated in the Q3 Flood Data2 issued by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Proposed Project site is not located within an identified 100-year floodplain. Areas south of Central Avenue are located within the 500-year floodplain. The City's Public Works Division administers storm drain and flood control facilities within the City. The storm drain system has been divided into sub-areas within the City based upon the San Bernardino County Flood Control District's Comprehensive Storm Drain Plans. The project site is located within Storm Drain Sub-Area I, which corresponds to Area "C" of Comprehensive Storm Drain Plan No. 7.3 The Proposed Project site drains in a southwesterly direction. Curbs, gutters, and storm drains are not currently located within the portion of Central A venue fronting the project site. The Proposed Project includes the construction of an off-site detention basin. Under buildout conditions, drainage from the 40.5-acre site will be conveyed via curb, gutters, and catch-basins to an on-site storm drain that will exit the project site at the western driveway. The proposed 48-inch storm drain will connect to a 66-inch storm drain to be installed in the south side of Central Avenue. The Central Avenue storm drain wiIl continue westward for approximately 760 feet before turning south at Valley View Avenue.

Development of the project site with warehousing uses is permitted within the IL district, subject to approval of a Development Permit. The proposed on-site use is consistent with suggested development within industrial districts. Single-family residential dwellings are located north and south of the project site. An industriallbusiness park is located direct west of the site. Residential structures of undetermined condition/occupancy are located east of the project site. As stated in the City's Development Code, .....Single-family dwelling units which legally existed in the industrial land use districts prior to June 3, 1991, may remain as a permitted use."

The City's General Plan states that an acceptable exterior CNEL in residential areas is 65 dBA with an interior noise level of 45 dBA. In industrial areas, Ct\TEL levels of up to 70 dBA and 80 dBA are normally and conditionally acceptable, respectively. Construction-Related Noise, Noise from construction equipment typically generates approximately 68 dBA 4q at 100 feet from the area where it operates. Leq is the equivalent sound level representing the average noise exposure over a one-hour, eight-hour, or 24-hour period. If two pieces of equipment are used, the "typical" construction noise measurements of the maximum hourly average noise levels are expected to be approximately 72 dBA Leq at 100 feet from the point of origin. As point sources, these noise sources will decrease at a rate of 6 dBA per doubling of distance. Therefore, at 200 feet, the construction noise would decrease to 66 dBA; at 400 feet, the dBA would decrease to 60 dBA; and so forth. R-\HLW4}4\Gal~\1Ia)' Nonh IS.Rtvi!led 05 I JOS.doc IS 35 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Residential structures are located approximately 230 feet from the site's northern property line and approximately 100 feet from the site's southern property line. Currently, the 50 dBA noise contour ranges from 60.9 to 61.2 feet from the centerline of the outmost lane of Central Avenue in the vicinity of the project site. A IS-dB outdoor to indoor noise reduction with windows closed is typically assumed to represent interior noise levels where measurements are not available. With the reduction applied, interior noise levels south of Central Avenue of approximately 57 dB(A) Leq at 100 feet are anticipated. North of the project site, interior noise levels of approximately 51 dB(A) Leq at 200 feet are anticipated. This short-term noise impact will exceed the City's noise standard. The following mitigation measures will be required to reduce potential construction noise impacts to a less than significant level. NOS-} Construction-related activities may not occur between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. No construction vehicles, equipment, or employees may be delivered to, or arrive at the construction site before 7:00 a.m. or leave the site after 8:00 p.m. Construction activities may only occur Monday through Saturday and are not permitted on State or Federal holidays. NOS-2 All construction vehicles shall have mufflers and be maintained in good operating order at all times. NOS-3 All trucks waiting to be loaded or unloaded with construction material shall not be left to idle for more than 10 minutes. NOS-4 Concrete crushing, rock crushing, and/or blasting on the project site shall be prohibited. NOS-5 All stationary noise-generating sources (e.g., air compressors), stockpiling and vehicle staging areas, shall be located as far as possible from the existing residential uses. \Jhcrence to :\titigation Measures NOS-} through NOS-5 will reduce short-term noise impacts to a less than significant level. Operational Noise Impacts. While some level of operational noise is generated by exterior machinery, the majority of operational noise associated with the Proposed Project will result from project traffic. Noise levels associated with current and project-related traffic (Years 2006 and 2030) were identified using the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Rd-77-108 Noise Model. The results of this noise modeling are included as Appendix C. As previously stated, residential structures are located :Ipproximately 230 feet from the site's northern property line and approximately 100 feet from the site's ...outhem property line. \s operation of the proposed warehouse facility will increase traffic volumes, an increase in traffic- related noise is anticipated. Currently, the 50 dBA noise contour ranges from 60.9 to 61.2 feet from the centerline of the outmost lane of Central A venue across the street from the project site. In 2006 (with project), the 50 JBA contour will extend from 62.5 to 63.6 feet. In 2030 (with project), this contour will -:\lend 66.6 to 67.5 feet from the centerline of the outmost lane along Central Avenue across from the project site. Compared to Year 2006 and 2030 (without project), future traffic-related noise levels with development of the Proposed Project will increase a maximum of 2.3 dBA and 0.6 dBA along Central .\ \enue in 2006 and 2030, respectively. An increase of 3 dBA is perceptible by the human ear and is considered potentially significant.l An increase of 2.3 dBA is a less than significant impact. While project-related traffic noise may impact sensitive receptors along adjacent roadways, the level of impact is no more significant than that which currently exists.

X.b During operation of the Proposed Project, tractor trailers will access the project site. The City's Development Code states that vibration shall not be discemable beyond the boundary of the property line on which it originates. While the utilization of construction equipment and tractor trailers may generate ground vibrations, any such vibration will be dispersed by project's distance from any sensitive receptor. Potential groundbome vibration impacts are anticipated to be less than significant. X.e In June 1990, the Inland Valley Redevelopment Agency certified the Final EIR for the Inland Valley Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Plan (Redevelopment Plan EIR). Amongst other issues, the Redevelopment Plan EIR evaluated potential noise impacts that would result from the operation of a civilian airport offering up to 37,300 annual flights. This level of air activity was incorporated into the SBIA's Interim Airport Operating Plan, which anticipates up to 37,000 flights per year at SBIA (approximately \01 per day).1 Even at this level of activity .....the Proposed Project [the Interim Operating Plan] will result in a significant contraction of the existing noise contours that reflected Air Force flight operations through 1989." Portions of the project site are located within the 65 dB noise contour identified for the SBIA2. The project site is located within an area designated for industrial uses. Development of the proposed warehouse facility project will not result in the construction or occupancy of any noise-sensitive use; therefore, no significant airport-related noise impact will occur.

Infrastructure, including roads, sewers, water, and electricity, already exists on and around the project site. No impact related to this issue will occur. XII.b No residential structures, including affordable housing units, are located on-site; therefore, no impact associated with this issue will occur. XIl.c The Proposed Project will result in the construction an approximately 900,480-square foot warehouse. While short-term construction-related jobs will be created, these positions would most likely be filled by local workers. Based on median employment generation factors of 2,1 1 1 square feet of warehouse use and 1,014 square feet of office use per employee,l the Proposed Project is anticipated to create up to 416 warehouse jobs and 22 office jobs. The jobs created by the development of the proposed warehouse facility are expected to be filled by persons already living in the community andlor region. The most recently reported growth forecasts2 for the City, the SANBAG (San Bernardino County) Sub- region, and SCAG are reflected in Table D. According to the California Department of Finance,3 7,055 (II %) of the housing units in the City are vacant. An adequate supply of vacant housing exists in the City to accommodate any increase in population that may result from the operation of the Proposed Project. Because a surplus of housing exists in the City; no significant demand for additional housing will result from the Proposed Project.

Under Year 2030 with project conditions, three locations will not meet the relevant jurisdiction's minimum level of service standard. Modifications to intersection lane configurations are recommended as mitigation measures in accord with CMP requirements for these locations, as follows: . Waterman Avenue/Orange Show Road - Addition of a southbound through lane and a northbound left turn lane. . Tippecanoe A venue/Central A venue - Addition of a dedicated westbound right turn lane. . Driveway B/Clevenger Drive/Central A venue - Installation of a traffic signal. This traffic signal may either be installed at this location or at a nearby location that would provide adequate gaps in the traffic stream at this location to facilitate turning movements to and from the project and Clevenger Drive. The City of San Bernardino General Plan calls for Lena Road to be extended from its current terminus at Mill Street south to Orange Show Road. The project will participate with other developers in the vicinity to construct this extension.

To ensure the potential traffic and circulation impacts associated with the operation of the proposed warehouse facility are sufficiently mitigated, the following mitigation measure has been identified. TFC-l Prior to the approval of building permits, the project developer shall provide fair share contributions for those improvements detailed in the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared for the Proposed Project. The contribution required by the developer shall be as established in the Traffic Impact Analysis and upon consultation with the City. R -\H!, W434\(jalt"way Sonh IS-Revifotd OJ J 3Q5.doc IS 46 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Upon implementation of the previously identified improvements, minimum level of service standards are maintained at the three study area intersections where a project-related impact is identified. Potential traffic and circulation impacts associated with the Proposed Project are, with adherence to Mitigation Measure TFC.l, are reduced to a less than significant level. XV.c While the project site is located within one mile of the SBIA, the Proposed Project does not include any function or use that will affect the number or frequency of flights to this air facility. The Proposed Project is located within the City's Airport Overlay District. Warehouses are permitted within the Airport Overlay District, subject to development code restrictions and requirements. As the construction and operation of the proposed on-site uses will be required to adhere to all design, construction, and operating standards established by the City and the SBIAA, no significant impact associated with this issue will occur. XV.d Access to the project site will be via three driveways on Central Avenue. The eastern and western driveways will provide access to employee parking areas, as well as the truck court on the north side of the building. The central driveway, which will align with Clevenger Drive, will provide access only to the truck court located on the south side of the building. Truck and passenger car movement areas will be largely separated. Fire access to and around the proposed structure will be via the truck drive aisles which provide access to and completely around the proposed structure. Parking areas and circulation features will be designed and constructed to satisfy the requirements of the City's Public Works Division. The design of the Proposed Project does not include any sharp curves or dangerous intersections. The project will not, therefore, create a substantial increase in hazards due to a design feature. No impact associated with this issue will occur. XV.e Please refer to the response to Checklist Question VIIJ. XV.f The Proposed Project includes the provision of 893 parking stalls, including 16 handicapped stalls, 298 standard parking stalls, 430 trailer parking stalls, and 149 stalls for trailers at the dock door. The Proposed Project consists of the construction of an approximately 894,240-square foot warehouse. The total square footage for the warehouse includes 22,069 square feet of office space and 878,411 square feet of warehouse space. The City of San Bernardino parking requirementl for industriaU warehousing uses greater than 50,000 square feet is I space for each 1,250 square feet of ground floor area. Parking standard requirements for offices ranging in size from 7,501 to 40,000 square feet is I space for each 300 square feet of office space. The office portion of the warehouse requires 74 spaces to meet parking requirements while the warehouse portion requires 703 spaces, for a total of 777 spaces. Because the total number of parking spaces required at the Proposed Project site exceeds 500 spaces, the City parking requirements for handicapped spaces for the Proposed Project require the provision of 7 spaces. plus 1 additional space for each 200 additional parking spaces (over 500) provided. Total handicapped parking required for the Proposed Project is 9 spaces. Because the Proposed Project includes 893 parking stalls (including 16 handicapped spaces) and because parking areas will be designed and constructed to incorporate applicable City parking standards, no impact related to this issue will occur. XV.g Roads. bicycle lanes, and pedestrian crossings for the Proposed Project site will be installed, as required by City standards. The Proposed Project will comply with all City development policies and standards supporting alternative modes of transportation; therefore, no impact related to this issue will occur.

Waste discharges include discharges of storm water and construction project discharges. A construction project resulting in the disturbance of 1.0 acre or more requires an NPDES permit. Construction project proponents are required to prepare an SWPPP and meet the requirements of the Santa Ana RWQCB regarding wastewater. As stated in the response to Checklist Question VIII.a, the developer will be required to adhere to applicable NPDES permit, SWPPP, and WQMP requirements. Adherence to applicable provisions of these programs and RWQCB requirements will reduce impacts associated with wastewater treatment requirements to less than significant.

Wastewater treatment services will be provided to the Proposed Project by the SBMWD. Wastewater flows from the project site will be conveyed to and processed at the San Bernardino Water Reclamation Facility (WRP), located at 399 Chandler Place in the City of San Bernardino. This facility is operated by SBMWD, which provides combined domestic and industrial wastewater treatment services to the Cities of San Bernardino and Lorna Linda, as well as the East Valley Water District (EVWD) and Patton State Hospital. The WRP has a design capacity of 33 million gallons per day (mgd). Current inflow to the WRP is approximately 26-28 mgd, resulting in 5-7 mgd of surplus capacity. Because of the nature of the proposed use, the volume of wastewater generated from the site is not anticipated to be substantial. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant will be required to satisfy SBMWD requirements related to the payment of fees and/or the provision of adequate wastewater facilities. All facilities will be designed, installed, and maintained to meet SBMWD standards. No significant impacts related to the provision of sewer or wastewater treatment services are anticipated. XVI.c Please refer to the response to Checklist Response Vm.d. XVI.d Sections 10910-10912 of the California Water Code requires the preparation of a Water Supply Assessment (WSA) for a proposed industrial, manufacturing, or process plant, or industrial park planned to employ more than 1,000 persons, occupying more than 40 acres of land, or having more than 650,000 square feet of floor area as set forth in. Additionally, a WSA is required for any use that would use an amount of water equivalent to that required by a 500-unit residential project. Although the Proposed Project will occupy more than 40 acres of land and will total more than 900,000 square feet, on-site activities will be restricted to the storage and distribution of materials. No water-intensive industrial, manufacturing or processing activity will occur on-site. On-site usage of water will be restricted to that required for landscaping and domestic consumption. The average daily consumption for similar warehouse uses in the City is 5,100 cubic feet (38,151 gallons).t While the volume of water varies depending on the amount of on-site landscaping, it is significantly less than the daily water demand required for 500 residential dwellings (1,122,000 gallons).2 Prior to the issuance of building permits, the project applicant will be required to satisfy City requirements related to the payment of fees and/or the provision of adequate water facilities and that Proposed Project's water demands can be met. All facilities will be designed, installed, and maintained to meet water supply standards. Adherence to these conditions will reduce potential impacts associated with this issue to a less than significant level. XVI.e Please refer to the response to Checklist Question XVI.b. XVI.f-g The City of San Bernardino will provide solid waste collection services to the project site. Based on a solid waste generation rate of 8.0 pounds per day per 1,000 square feet,3 the operation of the Proposed Project would generate approximately 7,204 pounds (3.6 tons) of solid waste per day. Based on Waste Compositions for Trucking and Warehousing facilities,4 the nine most common forms of solid waste generated on-site will include paper (34.9%); construction and demolition materials (23.7%); metal (12.4%); other organic materials (12.2%); special waste (6.5%); plastic (6.4%); glass (2.8%); household hazardous waste (0.9%); and mixed residue (0.3%). Combined, these materials can be expected to make Conversation with George Castillo, Administrative Services Supervisor.

As required by the City, the operator of the proposed facility will be required to sort and separate recyclable materials from the solid waste stream. Non-recyclable solid waste from the Proposed Project will be collected and transported to the San Timoteo Solid Waste Disposal Site, located in the City of Redlands. The San Timoteo landfill is permitted to accept a maximum of \,0002 tons of solid waste per day. The San Timoteo landfill is expected to reach capacity at around 2016, but will be allowed to expand through permitting past this date. Because the Proposed Project will not significantly impact current operation or the expected lifetime of these landfills and because the operators of the Proposed Project will be required to comply with local, State, and Federal mandates regarding solid waste, potential solid waste impacts will be less than significant. XVI.h Utilities are present on-site and within roadways adjacent to the project site. Based on the location of existing utility features, the Proposed Project will not result in a disjointed pattern of utility extensions based on review of existing patterns and proposed extensions. The City of San Bernardino General Plan states that all utility providers have indicated an ability to provide service to new developments in the Planning Area.3 No impact associated with this issue is anticipated to occur; therefore, no mitigation is required. 2 Total exceeds 100% due to rounding.

Discussion: XVII.a No endangered or threatened species were identified on-site during the habitat assessment of the project site. Development of the Proposed Project will not cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels or restrict the movement/distribution of a rare or endangered species. Potential impacts to the burrowing owl will be mitigated to a less than significant with adherence to Mitigation Measures BIO-l and BIO-2. Because the project will not impact any threatened or endangered species or habitat. no significant impact to biological resources will occur. No historic structures or culturally significant features are located on-site; therefore. development of the Proposed Project will not eliminate important examples of major periods of California history or prehistory. Adherence to standard City and State measures related to the discovery. recovery. and/or recordation of cultural resources and/or human remains during construction activities will ensure no significant impact to cultural resources will result from implementation of the Proposed Project. R:\Hl.W434\Galewa'1 North 15-Re-vised O;5I~.doc IS 51 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY XVII.b Operation of the proposed project will cumulatively increase traffic on local and regional roadways. Improvements to mainline freeway segments on Interstates 10 and 215 are listed in the Final 2004 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).' The RTIP is a capital listing of all transportation projects proposed over a six-year period for the six-county SCAG region. The projects include highway improvements, transit, rail and bus facilities, HOY lanes, signal synchronization. intersection improvements, freeway ramps, etc. The RTIP is prepared to implement projects and programs listed in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and is developed in compliance with State and Federal requirements. County Transportation Commissions have the responsibility under State law of proposing county projects, using the current RTP's policies, programs, and projects as a guide, from among submittals by cities and local agencies. The locally prioritized lists of projects are forwarded to SCAG for review. From this list, SCAG develops the RTIP based on consistency with the current RTP, inter-county connectivity, financial constraint and conformity satisfaction. Improvements to l-lO and 1-215 are under the authority of Caltrans. The process of improving the 1- IOffippecanoe Avenue interchange has been undertaken and will be funded by SANBAG. The Cities of San Bernardino and Lorna Linda are stakeholders in this improvement process and will provide concurrence to the ultimate design and layout of the interchange improvements at this location. As the improvements to 1-10, 1-215 and local interchanges are already included in the RTIP, potential cumulative effects of project-related traffic on these transportation features will be substantially reduced. The cumulative effects resulting from build out of the City's General Plan were previously identified in the General Plan EIR. The Proposed Project will result in the construction and operation of up to 900,480 square feet of warehouse uses, or approximately 68 percent of the development permitted by the City for the project site. Because the Proposed Project reduces the level of development from the maximum that is permitted on-site, any potential cumulative air quality impact would correspondingly reduced. Because the cumulative air quality impacts assigned to the Proposed Project fall within the impacts identified in the City's General Plan EIR, no significant impact related to this issue will occur.

Additionally, the proposed warehouse facility and its associated improvements are consistent with the development standards identified in the City's Development Code. Adherence to the mitigation measures identified in this Initial Study, the conditions imposed on the project by the City. and compliance with State and Federal law, will reduce all identified environmental impacts to a less than significant level. Because all potentially significant impacts are reduced to a less than significant level, and because the level of development proposed for the project site is approximately two-thirds of envisioned in the City's General Plan, no significant long-term direct or cumulative impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed warehouse facility will occur.

Project Location and Description The two properties totaling 81 acres are located on Central A venue, between Tippecanoe A venue to the east and Valley View Avenue to the west. The project sites are depicted on the San Bernardino South U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangle in an un-sectioned portion of Township 1 South. Range 4 West. Biological Survey Methodology A preliminary literature review and subsequent field assessment provided information regarding the biological conditions of the project site. The objective of the field survey was to document the existing conditions within the project site and to evaluate the potential project constraints with regard to sensitive biological resources. Literature Review Prior to the field investigation, a records search was conducted using the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB, 2004) for information regarding sensitive biological resources known to occur in the San Bernardino South USGS topographic quadrangle and surrounding areas. The California Native Plant Society Electronic Inventory, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) sensitive wildlife lists were also referenced. Special status wildlife species include all federal- and state-listed endangered and threatened species. former federal candidate species. and California species of special concern. Field Survey Methods MBA biologists Mamie McKernan and Linda Archer conducted a field survey on July 22, 2004 between 10:00 and 12:00 p.m. by walking both sites. The survey focused on areas of the project site that could potentially support sensitive species as well as jurisdictional drainage areas. The surveyor referred to a USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle and an aerial photograph for reference while conducting the Bak""jidd 661.334.2755 . Jnine 714.50804100 Sacranlcnru · 916.296.4857 .

California bedstraw (Galium califomicum ssp. primum), . Smooth tarplant (Cenrromadia pungens ssp. laevis), . Slender-homed spineflower (Dodecahema leplOceras), . Santa Ana River woollystar (Eriasrrum densifolium ssp. sanclOrum). . Robinson's pepper-grass (Lepidium virginicum var. robinsonii), . Salt marsh bird's-beak (Cordylanrhus maririmus ssp. maririmus), . Parish's desert-thorn (Lycium parishii), . Los Angeles sunflower (Helianrhus nUllallii ssp. parishii), . Pringle's monardella (Monardella pringlei) . Gambel's water cress (Rorippa gambelii), and . Salt spring checkerbloom (Sidalcea neomexicana). Of these twenty-five species, none were determined to have a potential to occur within the project boundaries based on existing site conditions. The project site does not contain drainage features under the jurisdiction of the USACE and/or CDFG. A formal jurisdictional delineation is not required. BioJoeicaJ Recommendations Sensitive Species Because of the history of disturbances and heavy cover of non-native grasses, these two sites do not provide suitable habitat for San Bernardino kangaroo rat (SBKR). Further, both sites are out of the boundary for SBKR Critical Habitat. No further surveys are recommended. Final Conclusions No sensitive species were observed onsite. Due to the heavily disturbed nature of the site and the lack of suitable native habitat, no further biological surveys for sensitive species are recommended. Ned Sciortino Hi II wood December 27. 2004 Page 2 survey. The survey was conducted to understand the existing project site conditions in order to evaluate the possible project constraints. Existing Conditions Both project sites are vacant lots containing. primarily non-native grasses including wild oats (avena sp.) and chess (bromus sp.) There are no trees or shrub on either site. Surrounding land uses include residential development and open space. The general condition and abundance of flora at the time of the survey is considered poor due to the lack of habitat. The wildlife species observed onsite include the red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis). black phoebe (Sayornis nigricans). and Botta's pocket gopher (Thomomys bottae). Potential Project Biological Constraints The literature review and CNDDB database search indicated that twenty-five special status species (fourteen plant and eleven wildlife species) have been reported as occurring within the region of the project site including; . Santa Ana sucker (Catostomus santaanae). . Arroyo chub (Gila orcutti), ~ Western yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus american us occidentalis). . Burrowing owl (Athena cunicularia). '0 Coastal California gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica californica ). . San Diego (coast) horned lizard (Phrynosoma coronatum). . San Bernardino kangaroo rat (Dipodomys merriami parvus). . Los Angeles pocket mouse (Perognathus longimembris Qrevinasus). '. Stephen's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys stephensi). . Northern red-diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus ruber ruber). . Delhi sands flower-loving fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis). . Parry's spine flower (Chorizanthe parryi var. parry!). . Brist]y sedge (Carex comosa). ,. Marsh sandwort (Arenaria paludicola).

This program has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State of California, and City of San Bernardino CEQA Guidelines. CEQA Section 21081.6 requires adoption of a monitoring and/or reporting program for those measures or conditions imposed on a project to mitigate or avoid adverse effects on the environment. The law states that the monitoring or reporting program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. The Mitigation Monitoring / Reporting Program contains the following elements: 1. The mitigation measures are recorded with the action and procedure necessary to ensure compliance. The program lists the mitigation measures contained within the Initial Study. 2. A procedure for compliance and verification has been outlined for each mandatory mitigation action. This procedure designates who will take action, what action will be taken and when, and to whom and when compliance will be reported. 3. The program contains a separate Mitigation Monitoring and Compliance Record for each action. On each of these record sheets, the pertinent actions and dates will be logged, and copies of permits, correspondence, or other data relevant will be retained by the City of San Bernardino. 4. The program is designed to be flexible. As monitoring progresses, changes to compliance procedures may be necessary based upon recommendations by those responsible for the program. If changes are made, new monitoring compliance procedures and records will be developed and incorporated into the program.
