The proposed commercial development is consistent with existing development. The site is located within an area with surrounding land use designation of Commercial, Public Facility and residential (RL, RM, PF, CG3 and RU). The proposed development is oriented away from the surrounding residential developments due to its location in the low-lying area east of the existing hillside. Incremental increases of light and glare will be created by the proposed project through the installation of streetlights on the internal parking lots.

IS 5 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY SCAQMD adopted the Final 1994 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) revision in September 1994 and a draft 1997 update in August 1996 to establish a comprehensive control program to achieve compliance with federal and state air quality standards for healthful air quality in the SCAB. The Final AQMP was adopted by the AQMD Board in November 1996 and has since been approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The AQMP policies serve as the framework for all control (permitting) efforts in the SCAB as enforced by the SCAQMD for stationary sources. CARB regulates mobile sources. The applicant is proposing approximately 28,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space with associated paved parking areas, landscaping and pedestrian amenities. The project would not exceed emission standards for ~n~rgy consumption or operations based on its physical characteristics or operation. Due to the minor amounts of equipment, material, and low volumes of traffic, significane thresholds are not exceeded. Fugitive dust generated by construction activities would add to the ambient PM 10 levels but should not exceed SCAQMD threshold of 150 lbs/day with mitigation. The proposed project has the potential generate dust during grading activities, and in periods of high winds until construction is completed. In order to mitigate this impact, the City requires the preparation and approval of PM 10 management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division. In addition, the project proponent shall implement the following mitigation measures to mitigate the potential impacts on air quality during construction activities: Implementation of the followinig mitigation measures will ensure impacts from fugitive dust generation during construction activities will be less than significant and will aid the City in meeting General Plan Policies 10.10.2 and 10. I 0.4. Policy 10.10.2 Require dust abatement measures during grading and construction operations. Policay 10.10.4 Cooperate with the South Coast Air Quailty Management District and ipcorporate pertinent local implementaion provisions of the Air Quality Management Plan. AQ-l The project shall comply with the requirements of the SCAQMD Rule 403, fugitive dust, which requires the implementation of Reasonable Available Control Measures (RACM) for all fugitive dust sources, and the Air Quality Management Plan (AMCP). which identifies Best Available Control Measures (BACM) and Best Available Control Technologies (BACT) for area sources and point sources. respectively. Some land uses and/or individuals are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others due to the types of population groups and activities involved. Sensitive population groups include children, the elderly, residential areas, and recreational land uses. The project site is located in an area of mixed land . uses along Kendall Drive and University Parkway, which is the primary route for students and visitors to CSUSB. Land uses within the general vicinity include single and multi-family residential, University and neighborhood commercial. Multi-family residences are located on the south side of University IS 7 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Parkway, directly across the street from the proposed project site. The short-term nature of the construction, in light of the degree of development activity that has previously occurred in the area, will not negatively impact the local residents because implementation of SCAQNM Rule 403 will reduce the amount of fugitive dust generated. The local climate can be classified as Mediterranean with hot and dry summers and short, warm and relatively dry winters. Temperatures range from a low of 32 degrees Fahrenheit (' F) in the winter to a high in excess of 100' F during the summer. Mean annual temperature is 65' F. Average annual precipitation for the area is 18 inches, which is almost exclusively rain (City of San Bernardino, 1996). The proposed project will not significantly alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause any change in climate. The project is too small in scale to alter area temperature, moisture, or air movement. As development of an infill parcel, the operational emissions will be compatible and similar to like uses in the immediate area. Odors are likely to be generated from the restaurant uses, particularly activities similar to charbroiling that have distinctive odors associated with operation. Similar reataurant uses are prevalent in the immediate area, particularly along University Parkway. The nature of development of this parcel will not create new or unusual uses to the surrounding area.

(July 2003). The site is currently being graded per the approved grading plans for Tract 16509, the soils and geotechnical recommendations and the City of San Bernardino Grading Policies. IS 12 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Upon completion of grading of the project site for Tract 16509, the easterly portion of the site will remain relatively flat with slope rates ranging up to 5 percent. The westerly portion of the project consists of a manufactured slope of up to approximately 80 feet with an inclination of two horizontal to one vertical. Above the manufactured slope are graded pads for single-family homes as part of Tract 16509. The site will be suitable for the construction of commercial and retail buildings. The University Center Project is located in a tectonically active area of southern California. The type and magnitude of seismic hazards affecting the site are dependent on the distance to the causative fault and the intensity and magnitude of the seismic event. The State of Cali fomi a has mandated by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Act to delineate Fault- Rupture Hazard Zones in California and by the Urban Seismic Hazards Mapping Act to delineate zones identified as being potentially susceptible to secondary seismic hazards of liquefaction and earthquake- induced landsliding. The site is not in a State of California established Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. No faulting was found and potential for surface rupture is considered low. Due to the proximity of the project site to the San Andreas Fault, accelerations on the site are anticipated to be as to be high (0.8g or greater) These accelerations could cause dynamic settlement of dry sands and may cause liquefaction of some of the underlying sandy natural deposits if groundwater levels were to rise. Based upon data provided by Matti and Carson (1991) ground water is anticipated to be at depths greater than 50 feet. The underlying soils are not susceptible to liquefaction. The project site is not located within an area of Liquefaction Susceptibility, Figure 49 of the General Plan. Seismic Design Parameters using soil profile types identified in the 1997 Unifonn Building Code, are presented in the Geotecnical Investigation prepared by Pacific Soils and referenced herein. GS-l The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of a grading permit, prepare and submit for review and approval by the Development Services Department a detailed grading plan for the project site. The plan shall be prepared in confonnance to the applicable standards and requirements of the City of San Bernardino Grading Ordinance and the Unifonn Building Code. GS-2 For adequate support of all proposed structures, the design offootings and foundations shall be in accordance with the recommendation as outlined in the Geotechnical Feasibility Study prepared by Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc. dated February 21, 2003 and the Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation and Review of 100-Scale Tentative Tract Map No. 16509, prepared by Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc, July 7, 2003. The site is located in an area identified as having a High Potential of Water erosion (CGP, Figure 53). The potential for adverse water impacts will be maintained at less than significant levels through the development and implementation of an erosion control plan prior to commencement of grading activities. The erosion control plan shall contain but not limited to, the following measures: . GS-3 The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of grading permit, receive approval of a PM 1 0 management plan from the Public Works Division of the Development Services Department. IS 13 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY GS-4 An erosion control plan shall be prepared and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific erosion control measures to control on-site and off-site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are initiated through grading completions. This erosion control plan shall include the following measures at a minimum. a. Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California. b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to insure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame.

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Discussion: a - f) Haza;dous or toxic materials transported in association with construction of the project may include items such as oils and fuels. All materials required during construction will be kept in compliance with State and local regulations. No explosives will be present at the site. The end use of the site is commercial (retail and restaurant). These uses do not involve the use or storage of hazardous or toxic substances. Numerous visits to the site for field surveys and observations have not revealed the presence of discarded drums, containers, or hazardous waste, and there is no indication of underground storage tanks. Some minor refuse has littered the site, however, given the domestic nature of the refuse it is unlikely that hazardous materials are present. Construction activities relating to grading and the installation of underground facilities, most notably sewer and storm drainage lines has recently occurred on the site. The grading and construction of these facilities is pursuant to the requirements of tract 16509 and are being monitored by the city for compliance with regulations related to hazardous materials and water quality.

The amount of area available for percolation and drainage will be affected by the proposed project. However, the installation of landscaping on the site will allow for the percolation of water into the ground. The installation of the storm drain system that will be utilized by the proposed project has been installed as part of the required improvements for Tract 16509. These drainage improvements include the installation of a 66-inch diameter storm drain pipe through the subject site. A drainage and hydrology report for Tract 16509 has been prepared and approved by the City. The area of the proposed retail site was included in the drainage report and the land use for the proposed project site was assumed to be commercial. IS 18 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Run-offfrom the proposed project will be conveyed into this drainage system. Improvements to the project site include curbs, gutters, swales, down drains, inlets, catch basins and storm drain connections necessary to adequately drain the site. Plans for the project storm water conveyance will be reviewed and approved by the City of San Bernardino Public Works Department. The impacts to absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff are expected to be less than significant. A Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for Tract 16509 was prepared and approved by the City. This SWPPP is currently in effect over the entire Tract 16509 including the proposed project area that has been rough graded in accordance with the approved grading plans. The SWPPP will remain in effect until improvements to the retail site have been completed and will also be supplemented by a Storm Water Quality Management Plan. To ensure that potential impacts associated with flooding and storm water conveyance are less than significant, the following mitigation measures will be implemented. W -1 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a site-specific drainage study which meets the standards of the City of San Bernardino Public Works division will be prepared by a Civil Engineer registered in the State of California. All recommendations from this analysis, including facilities necessary to mitigate drainage impacts, maximize percolation and groundwater recharge to the extent feasible shall be incorporated in all grading and site improvement plans. W-2 The applicant shall mitigate on-site storm water discharge sufficiently to maintain compliance with the City's NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit Requirements. A ~'Notice of Intent (NOl)" shall be filed with the State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing 5 acres or more ofland. W-3 Prior to the issue of any grading or building permit, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer and)lave approved a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) on a form provided by the City. The WQMP shall identify BMP's that will be incorporated into the project to control storm water and non-storm water pollutants during and after construction and shall be revised as necessary during the life of the project. The applicant shall comply with the requirements for commercial developments as outlined in Chapter 8.80: Storm Water Drainage System, of the Municipal Code. W-4 The plans for landscaping and fuel modification zones shall include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Areas landscaped or replanted for fire fuel modification shall be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. A portion of the site is located within a 100-year Flood Zone as identified on Map Panel Number 06071C7940F of the Flood Insurance Rate Map. The area subject to inundation is classified as Zone A (no base flood elevations determined). The area subject to inundation occurs along the Devils Canyon Channel. The Devils Canyon Channel has been removed by grading per the rough grading plans for IS 19 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Tract 16509. As noted above, the installation of a 66-inch storm drain system has bee n installed to replace the Devils Canyon channel. The applicant is currently processing a Letter of Map Revision with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to remove this area from the 1 DO-year Flood Zone. The proposed project will result in an increased demand for groundwater resources for domestic and landscaping use. The City implements standards of the Uniform Building Code and Municipal Code to require the use of water efficient fixtures and landscaping, respectively. These standards are sufficient to ensure that the potential impacts associated with groundwater are less than significant.

The project site is not located within a Mineral Resource Zone (MRZ). The project will demand aggregate resources in the construction of parking lots and buildings. Steel, concrete, and asphalt will be required as part of construction. These resources are commercially available in the southern California region without any constraint and no potential for adverse impacts to the natural resource base supporting these materials is forecast to occur over the foreseeable future. This demand is not significant due to the abundance of available local aggregate resources.

POPULATION AND HOUSING - Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, 0 0 0 ~ either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for ex-ample, through extension of roads or other infrastructure )? b) Remove existing housing and displace 0 0 0 ~ substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Other: 0 0 0 ~ Discussion: a - c) The project site is undeveloped. The proposed project will not result in the removal of any existing housing, and therefore, no impacts to housing will occur. The proposed project will not create a significant demand for additional housing. Typical development in the surrounding area includes apartment communities, single-family neighborhoods and service oriented commercial development that provides goods and services for the residents and University students. As one of the Tast undeveloped parcels in the immediate area, the proposed project is no growth inducing, either directly of indirectly. No additional housing will be provided, and no major infrastructure expansion is necessary to serve the project.

D 0 0 1:8:1 b) Other: D D 0 1:8:1 Discussion: a - b) The proposed project will not place additional demands on fire protection and medical aid services. The project site is located in fire hazard zone C - Moderate Hazard indicated in Section 15 B Fire Hazards Figure 61, of the City's General Plan. The closest fire station is a City Fire Station located approximately Y2 mile southwesterly on Kendal drive, south of University Parkway. Standard requirements for fire protection facilities, building design, and site access have been reviewed and approved by the City of San Bernardino Fire Department and incorporated into the project design. The project as proposed meets the City's current standards for fire protection. A Fuel Modification Plan was prepared for Tract 16509 and approved by the City Fire Chief. Therefore the resulting impacts will be less than significant. The project will not place additional demands on police services. Security measures will be incorporated in the project design during the design review by the department, and will be verified during plan review by the Building Department and City Police Department. Employees will be drawn from existing residents within or near the City of San Bernardino. The project will therefore not create a demand for new or additional school services, parks, or other recreational facilities as the workforce will be drawn from existing population of the area. IS 27 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY The project site currently has no water demand. The implementation of the project will result in an increase in water for business use and irrigation purposes. This demand will not be a significant impact on the current groundwater supply or production capability of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. Water requirements will be met by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. Utility systems are in place to serve the surrounding areas and are master planned to provide service to the project site without creating disjointed patterns of service extentsions. Existing water mains are present in the perimeter streets. Fire hydrants will be installed onsite as required by the City San Bernardino Fire Department. The proposed commercial, retail and restaurant uses will generate solid waste and green waste from landscape maintenance. The restaurants shall cooperate with the City Public Services Deparement in participating in all appropriate food waste diversion programs. All green waste shall be diverted to an appropriate green waste processing or composting facility as directed by the Public Services Department. Additional vehicle trips will be generated by the proposed project. Access to the site will be provide by University Parkway and Northpark Boulevard. These streets are major arterials through this segment of the City. Project related traffic impacts are discussed in detail in Section XVII - Traffic/Transporation. The property, however, is currently not generating property tax. When developed, the project site will generate property tax to offset the costs associated with providing services. Further, the proposed homes will generate school fees for the school district, to offset the costs associated with added children in the area. The project proposes to construct a 2-acre neighborhood park and approximately 1.5 miles of pedestrian and hiking trials. The impacts of the proposed project on public services is expected to be less than significant.

The City, however, does not currently receive property tax for the proposed property. When developed, the property wiIl generate property tax, which wiIl contribute to the provision of recreational facilities Project development wiIl have an effect on the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities, and it wiIl affect existing recreational opportunities. Existing park facilities are located both northwesterly and southeasterly of the site. The Littlefield-Shultis Memorial Park is located approximately I mile northeasterly along KendaIl Drive; and the Lionel E. Hudson Park is located approximately I mile southeasterly of the site on Windsor Drive. The proposed project wiIl not impact these or any other park or recreation facility. AdditionaIly, the project proposes the development and construction of a 2-acre neighborhood park. The park will be designed in conjunction with the City Parks and Recreation Departments Guidelines. The project site is not located within proximity to equestrian trials as identified on the City General Plan, Figure 39 - Conceptual Equestrian Trail System. Development of the site would not preclude development of any portion of the proposed trial system. The project proponent intends to develop approximately 1.5 miles of improved pedestrian and hiking trails. These trails wiIl be designed to be integrated with pedestrian travel of the residents and student and faculty of the University. The project proposes the develOPment of a botanical garden corridor or nature walk along the base of the hillside. A passive park area with seating and open play area wiIl be located at the northeasterly portion of the project. The impacts associated with development of the project site are not expected to be significant.

The proposed project will add 1,404 daily trips, including 83 trips during the morning peak hour, and 102 trips during the evening peak hour, to the nearby circulation system. The development does not exceed CMP thresholds of 250 two-way peak hour trips; it is not required to conduct a CMP Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Potential traffic impacts for the proposed project were analyzed at three nearby intersections - University Parkway and Kendall Drive, Northpark Boulevard and University Parkway and Northpark Boulevard at the main entrance to the project site. The Traffic Analysis a'ssumes that Campus Parkway will be constructed during the development of the project. The analysis of existing peak hour intersection conditions found that none of the study intersections is currently operating below acceptable Level of Service (LOS) thresholds. Table 1.

Northpark Blvd @ AM B 14.0 Centers Main Entrance (unsignalized) PM C 16.6 Future traffic -conditions were also forecast for the project opening. It was again found that all intersections will continue to operate at an acceptable level of service in the near-term. All analysis provided is based on the concept of "Level of Service". This is basically a report card scale ranging from A to F, which describes the varying conditions on a roadway during a specific interval of study. For example, Level of Service (LOS) A refers to light traffic, excellent traffic flow; LOS C refers to moderate traffic flow, with insignificant delay; and LOS E refers to sever congestion and delay, and LOS F refers to a failed system, traffic levels cannot be handled. The City of San Bernardino has adopted LOS D as the poorest acceptable level of service for signalized intersections. This would be the recommended minimum acceptable level of service. IS 31 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Existing Conditions University Parkway is a 6-lane divided arterial street running north/south adjacent to and east of the project site. It provides three through lanes both northbound and southbound, plus left turn lanes at intersections in the vicinity. University Parkway is used heavily by visitors, students and staff of CSUSB, as well as nearby residents and other employers. Kendall Drive is a four-lane arterial street running east/west adjacent to and south of the project site. It provides two-lanes in both directions and has a painted median. No street parking is permitted in the vicinity of the site. Northpark Boulevard is a four-lane divide-collector street running along the edge ofCSUSB, and adjacent to the east side of the project site. Northpark is bordered by CSUSB on the north and residential areas on the south. The main entrance to the University is at the signalized intersection of University Parkway. Campus Parkway is a future east-west collector street, which will extend from Kendall Drive to Northpark Boulevard. The roadway will carry 2 lanes in each direction with left turn channelization at main intersections. The roadway will alleviate congestion on University Parkway as well as provide access to adjacent development. The roadway is projected to be fully operational prior to the 2006 opening year of the project. Proiect Trip Generation Project related traffic generation is a function of the extent and type of development proposed for the site. This information is used to establish traffic generation for the site. . Trip generation characteristics for proposed projects are normally estimated based on rates published in Trip Generation, Seventh Edition published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The Traffic Study analyzes trip generation and project-related traffic volumes; in summary the total number of daily trips a_nticipated for the project is 1,404 daily passenger car equivalent (PCE) trips. The trips will be split with 83 occurring during the AM peak hour (45 entering and 38 exiting) and 102 occurring during the PM peak hour (55 entering and 48 exiting). Proposed Proiect Site Access Direct access to the development is planned via two driveways on Northpark Boulevard and one driveway along University Parkway. The main driveway on Northpark Boulevard is located approximately 1,000' feet north of the intersection. This driveway will provide full access with all movements into and out of the driveway. The driveway itself is approximately 35' wide and wiII have one lane in each direction. The driveway closest (230') to the intersection on Northpark Boulevard will be 30' wide and will be restricted to right turn in and right turn out. There will be one driveway on University Parkway approximately 223' from the intersection and 30' wide. Due to median islands on University Parkway this driveway will be limited to right turn in and right turn out. All of the driveways will be stop controlled as they enter the main streets. The main driveway on Northpark Boulevard shall IS 32 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY be provided with a traffic signal. The proposed development includes a variety of courtyards with water features to provide for a development that will be pedestrian as well as vehicle friendly. A total of 267 parking spaces will be provided, 6 of them marked for handicapped parking. Proiect Impacts Traffic impacts are identified if the proposed project will result in a significant change in traffic conditions on a roadway or intersection. A significant impact is normally defined when project-related traffic would cause a level of service to deteriorate to below the poorest acceptable level by a measurable amount. The year 2006 conditions with project traffic considers the addition of traffic generated by other projects on the local roadways plus traffic generated by the proposed project. As seen in Table I, with the addition of project traffic to conditions anticipated to be in place in the 2006 opening year scenario, it is anticipated that all of the intersections will operate at acceptable levels of service, LOS D or better. HORIZON YEAR 2030 WITH PROJECT CONDITIONS The year 2030 with project condition considers the addition of project traffic to modeled 2030 traffic volumes. A summary of the level of service analysis for 2030 conditions with project traffic is summarized on Table 2. As seen on Table 2 all of the intersections are projected to operate at satisfactory levels of service with or without project traffic. CIRCULATION IMPROVEMENTS For those intersections forecast to be impacted by project development, improvements have been identified as mitigation measures to bring peak hour operations into conformance with CMP/City minimum level of service standards (LOS D or better). Opening Dav 2006 Plus Proiect Improvements - For 2006 conditions with project all of the intersections are expected to operate at acceptable LOS so no off-site mitigation is needed. Northpark Boulevard at Main Driveway is expected to operate at acceptable levels of service with the addition of project traffic. However, with the new Campus Parkway the left turn traffic out of the center might start experiencing some delay. In order to ensure that this area will not operate below an acceptable LOS level, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented as follows: I) Prior to occupancy and at the developer's expense, a traffic signal shall be designed and constructed at the Main Driveway and Northpark Boulevard. IS 33 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY 2) Prior to issuance of permits and at the developer's expense, the Traffic Systems Fee of $41,646.66 (2,127 Daily Trips @ $19.58/Daily Trip) shall be submitted to the City of San Bernardino. Or, at the option of the developer, the Traffic System Fee in the amount of $41,646.66 may be deducted from the credits (totaling an amount not to exceed $275,000) identified in the Grading Agreement adopted by Resolution No. 2004-95 by the Mayor and Common Council on April 5, 2004. 2030 Plus Proiect Imorovements summary of the level of service analysis for 2030 conditions with project traffic is summarized on Table 2. As seen on Table 5 all of the intersections are projected to operate at satisfactory levels of service with or without project traffic.

The proposed project will not change the basic paths or patterns of circulation in the immediate area, and will not create any disjointed roadway improvements. The project will not impact rail or air traffic. The nearest airport or airstrip to the project site is the San Bernardino International Airport (former Norton Air Force Base) located approximately 8 miles to the southeast; and the Rialto Municipal Airport, located approximately 5 miles southwesterly. The nearest passenger railroad operation is the Amtrak Station at 3' Street and Mt. Vernon approximately 5 miles to the south.

Natural gas service will be provided to the project site by the Southern California Gas Company. The project will not impact the company's ability to provide adequate levels of service nor will it create the need to increase capacity. Service will be provided from the nearest existing gas main within Northpark Boulevard and University Parkway, without any significant impact on service or the environment. The project developer and/or individual tenants, will be required to pay both hook-up fees and on-going monthly usage fees for utility service, which will offset the use of these services, and lower the impacts to a less than significant level. Electricity will be provided to the project site by Southern California Edison (SCE). Project operations will not impact SCE's ability to provide adequate levels of service nor will it create the need to increase capacity. The proposed project would require telephone service. The project site is within the service area of Verizon (formerly General Telephone). The service can be extended to the site without any significant impact to existing service in the area. Existing water mains are present in Northpark Boulevard and University Parkway. Water supply is provided by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. No impact to water distribution will result from the implementation of the proposed project. The San Bernardino Municipal Water Department has performed a limited investigation of the project property. The proposed development is within the services boundaries of the SBMWD. The district can provide water service to the development subject to the hydraulic limitations within the pressures zones adjacent to the development and receipt of payment of all costs and fees for water service as established by the SBMWD rules and regulations in effect at the time of the application. The existing sewer main in Northpark Boulevard will be extended to the project site. The site is within the City of San Bernardino sewage service area, which has adequate capacity to service the proposed project. Appropriate Sewer Connection Fees will be required by the Department of Public Works through stanqard conditions of approval. Development of the proposed project will increase surface water run-off due to the degree of impervious surface. Drainage infrastructure will be connected to the existing 66-inch storm drain system. The Division of Public Works, through standard conditions of approval, will require appropriate Drainage Impact Fees. The project site is located in a developed California State University, commercial and residential area that has adequate utility service to provide for additional demands. The project will convert a 7.7-acre vacant parcel into commercial uses that will place incremental increase in demand on all utilities. Utility systems are in place to serve the surrounding areas and are planned to provide service to the project site. IS 36 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY XVII. MANDA TORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Discussion: Potentially Significant Impact Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporation Less Than Significant Impact No Impact o o ~ o o o ~ o o o rgJ o a) The proposed project site is surrounded by developed residential and commercial uses. The site is not within the Biological Resources Management Overlay, and De Minimis Impact Findings have already been made for this and an immediately adjacent site that there was no evidence that there would be the potential for adverse effects on sensitive wildlife or viable sensitive wildlife habitat. The site does not contain structures or culturally significant features that would be eliminated by development of the proposed project. b) The development of the site as proposed would not cause adverse impacts on humans, either directly or indirectly. The Initial Study identified construction-related emissions criteria as having a potential impact, however. proposed mitigation measures will reduce the impacts to less than significant. IS 37 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY Additionally, impacts related to air quality are short term and will cease once construction activities are completed. c) The Initial Study identified short-term impacts to air quality and noise with development of the proposed project. The short term impacts will occur due to propose construction activities. Impacts to both air quality and noise can be mitigated by measures included in the Initial Studies Sections V and X. The development of the project will contribute incrementally to the impacts associated with development in the area, including traffic, ambient noise, lighting, etc. This project is being developed on one of the last vacant parcels of land in this area of University Parkway and Northpark Boulevard. The project is compatible with development in the surrounding area and is consistent with the Zoning and Gener<r1 Plan. IS 38 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY REFERENCES.

IS 39 c.....'y OF SAN BERNARD:".L~O Interoffice Memorandum To: Aron Liang, Senior Planner From: Robert Eisenbeisz, Senior Civil Engineer, Engineering Associate Subject: Date: Copies: Review of the "University Park Retail Center" Traffic Study May 31, 2005 James Funk, Mike Grubbs, File NO.13.47 We have reviewed the referenced Traffic Study by Transtech Engineers, Inc. dated January 11, 2005, assessing the traffic and circulation impacts associated with the above referenced site. The proposed project contains 28,198 sq. ft. of retail building floor area. It is located at the northwest comer of Northpark Boulevard and University Parkway. We have the following comments. · The Summary of Project Trip Generation (Table 6) provides detailed peak hour trip estimates, including pass-by trips. The estimated 34 percent pass-by trips is consistent with information contained in the ITE Trip Generation Handbook; however, pass-by trip reductions are not allowed at site driveways. The full trip generation of the site must be considered at the driveways because although the pass-by trips already exist on adjacent roadways, they do not already exist turning into and out of the driveway. Trip Generation documents this requirement. This will not likely significantly affect the study results at the other locations and since a traffic signal is anticipated at the site driveway, there is no need to revise the study. · We recommend the following conditions of approval for the project: 1. Prior to occupancv and at the developer's expense, a traffic signal shall be designed and constructed at the Main Driveway and Northpark Boulevard. - 2. Prior to permit issuance and at the developer's expense, the Traffic Systems Fee of $41,646.66 (2,127 Daily Trips @ $ 19.58/Daily Trip) based on construction ofa total of 28,198 sq. ft. of retail building floor area shall be submitted to the City of San Bernardino. Or, atthe option of the developer, the Traffic Systems Fee in the amount of $41,646.66 may be deducted from the credits (totaling an amount not to exceed $275,000) identified in the Grading Agreement adopted by Resolution No. 2004-95 by the Mayor and Common Council on April 5, 2004. A IT ACHMENT F GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 05-09 & CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 05-10 MITIGA TION MONITORING/REPORTING PROGRAM This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared to implement the mitigation measures outlined in the Program Environmental Impact Report for Tract No. 16509. This program has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State 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 and Reporting Program contains the following elements: I. 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 ofperrnits, 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. The individual measures and accompanying monitoring/reporting actions follow. They are numbered in the same sequence as presented in the Initial Study. MITIGA TION MEASURES AIR OUALITY The proposed project has the potential generate dust during grading activities, and in periods of high winds until construction is completed. In order to mitigate this impact, the City requires the preparation and approval of PM I 0 management plans, which shall be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Division. In addition, the project proponent shall implement the following mitigation measures to mitigate the potential impacts on air quality during construction activities: AQ-l The project shall comply with the requirements of the SCAQMD Rule 403, fugitive dust, which requires the implementation of Reasonable Available Control Measures (RACM) for all fugitive dust sources, and the Air Quality Management Plan (AMCP), which identifies Best Available Control Measures (BACM) and Best Available Control Technologies (BACT) for area sources and point sources, respectively. IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION Public Works staff shall review this development project. COMPLIANCE RECORD When Required: The verification shall be completed prior to project approval. WRITTEN VERIFICATION PREPARED BY: DATE PREPARED: GEOLOGY AND SOILS GS-l The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of a grading permit, prepare and submit for review and approval by the Development Services Department a detailed grading plan for the project site. The plan shall be prepared in conformance to the applicable standards and requirements of the City of San Bernardino Grading Ordinance and the Uniform Building Code. GS-2 For adequate support of all proposed structures, the design of footings and foundations shall be in accordance with the recommendation as outlined in the Geotechnical Feasibility Study prepared by Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc. dated February 21, 2003 and the Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation and Review of - 100-Scale Tentative Tract Map No. 16509, prepared by Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc, July 7, 2003. The site is located in an area identified as having a High Potential of Water erosion (CGP, Figure 53). The potential for adverse water impacts will be maintained at less than significant levels through the development and implementation of an erosion control plan prior to commencement of grading activities. The erosion control plan shall contain but not limited to, the following measures: GS-3 The project proponent shall, prior to the issuance of grading permit, receive approval ofa PM 10 management plan from the Public Works Division of the Development Services Department. GS-4 An erosion control plan shall be prepared and implemented for the proposed project that identifies specific erosion control measures to control on-site and off- site erosion from the time of ground disturbing activities are initiated through grading completions. This erosion control plan shall include the following measures at a minimum. a. Specify the timing of grading and construction to minimize soil exposure to rainy periods experienced in Southern California. b. An inspection and maintenance program shall be included to insure that any erosion which does occur either on-site or off-site as a result of this project will be corrected through a remediation or restoration program within a specified time frame. IMPLEMENT A TIO~ AND VERIFICATION Public Works staff shall review this development project. COMPLIANCE RECORD When Required: The verification shall be completed prior to project approval. WRITTEN VERIFICATIOI\' PREPARED BY: DATE PREPARED: HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY To ensure that potential impacts associated with flooding and storm water conveyance are less than significant, the following mitigation measures will be implemented. W -1 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a site-specific drainage study which meets the standards of the City of San Bernardino Public Works division will be prepared by a Civil Engineer registered in the State of California. All recommendations from this analysis, including facilities necessary to mitigate drainage impacts, maximize percolation and groundwater recharge to the extent feasible shall be incorporated in all grading and site improvement plans. W-2 The applicant shall mitigate on-site storm water discharge sufficiently to maintain compliance with the City's NPDES Storm Water Discharge Permit Requirements. A "Notice of Intent (NOI)" shall be filed with the State Water Quality Control Board for construction disturbing 5 acres or more of land. W -3 Prior to the issue of any grading or building permit, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer and have approved a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) on a form provided by the City. The WQMP shall identify BMP's that wiIl be incorporated into the project to control storm water and non-storm water pollutants during and after construction and shall be revised as necessary during the life of the project. The applicant shall comply with the requirements for commercial developments as outlined in Chapter 8.80: Storm Water Drainage System, of the Municipal Code. W-4 The plans for landscaping and fuel modification zones shalI include provisions for controlling and minimizing the use of fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides. Areas landscaped or replanted for fire fuel modification shalI be monitored and maintained for at least two years to ensure adequate coverage and stable growth. A portion of the site is located within a 100-year Flood Zone as identified on Map Panel Numb.er 06071C7940F of the Flood Insurance Rate Map. The area subject to inundation is classified as Zone A (no base flood elevations determined). The area subject to inundation occurs along the Devils Canyon Channel. The Devils Canyon Channel has been removed by grading per the rough grading plans for Tract 16509. As noted above, the installation of a 66-inch storm drain system has bee n installed to replace the Devils Canyon channel. The applicant is currently processing a Letter of Map Revision with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to remove this area from the 100-year Flood Zone. The proposed project wiIl result in an increased demand for groundwater resources for domestic and landscaping use. The City implements standards of the Uniform Building Code and Municipal Code to require the use of water efficient fixtures and landscaping, respectively. These standards are sufficient to ensure that the potential impacts associated with groundwater are less than significant. IMPLEMENTATION AND VERIFICATION Public Works staff shall review this development project. COMPLIANCE RECORD When Required: The verification shall be completed prior to project approval. WRITTEN VERIFICATION PREPARED BY: DATE PREPARED: TRANSPORT A TIONffRAFFIC Northpark Boulevard at Main Driveway is expected to operate at acceptable levels of service with the addition of project traffic. However, with the new Campus Parkway the left turn traffic out of the center might start experiencing some delay. In order to ensure that this area will not operate below an acceptable LOS level, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented as follows: I) Prior to occupancy and at the developer's expense, a traffic signal shall be designed and constructed at the Main Driveway and Northpark Boulevard. 2) Prior to issuance of permits and at the developer's expense, the Traffic Systems Fee of $41,646.66 (2,127 Daily Trips@ $19.58/Daily Trip) shall be submitted to the City of San Bernardino. Or, at the option of the developer, the Traffic System Fee in the amount of $41,646.66 may be deducted from the credits (totaling an amount not to exceed $275,000) identified in the Grading Agreement adopted by Resolution No. 2004-95 by the Mayor and Common Council on April 5, 2004.

Funk, Director Development Services Department City of San Bernardino 300 North D Street San Bernardino, CA 92418-000 I Dear James: It's my pleasure to provide this letter in support of the proposed commercial development to be constructed in conjunction with the residential housing development across the street from Cal State San Bernardino. The development projects provide several much needed improvements to the residents in this area of San Bernardino and will also greatly benefit our students and employees. The roadway improvements on Northpark Boulevard, as well as the addition of Campus Parkway from Kendall to Northpark, will improve vehicular access to and from the campus and will help to alleviate the traffic congestion which commonly Occurs at the intersection of Northpark and University Parkway during peak commuter periods. The property which will be used for commercial development includes a small parcel of land which is owned by the University. We have granted a long-term easement to Watson and Associates to provide access to the parcel for improvements. This parcel has been undeveloped and unsightly for many years. We anticipate that the proposed landscaping of this area will offer an attractive and welcoming gateway to the development, as well as to the University. We believe the commercial design is outstanding and will lend great value to the residents of this community. Our students and employees look forward to the completion of the project and often express interest in the commercial entities proposed for the project and the estimated completion date. The generous support provided by Watson and Associates for our educational programs, as well as their interest in K-12 children in the community which we serve, have created a unique and congenial partnership between Watson and Associates and Cal State San Bernardino. if3~~~az~&[6) L"'lt:-... zrs~' Albert K.
