GPA No. OS-OI TfM No. 17139(Sub. OS-07) DPIIINo. OS-!0 Hearing Dare: 1.11.07 Page 4 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) Hogle-Ireland, Inc. prepared an Initial Study on behalf of the project applicant. The Environmental Review Committee independently reviewed, analyzed, and exercised judgement in reviewing the Initial Study and approved its release for public review pursuan3 to Ute Public Resources Code and CEQA guidelines. The Initial Study and Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) were circulated for public review from November 9, 2006 through November 29, 2006. No comments were received. FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS -GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT Is the proposed amendment internally consistent with the General Plan? Land Use Policy 2.5.6 requires that new development be designed to complement and not devalue the physical chazacteristics of the surrounding environment, and the proposed project will complement the adjacent existing residential neighborhood by developing an in-fill property with detached single-family units. Community Desigr- Policy 5.6.4 requires that private and common open space amenities be provided on-site, and the proposal is consistent with this policy, as evidenced by its compliance with the requirements of the Development Code for Planned Residential Developments. 1. Is the proposed amendment detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City? The proposal would not pose any threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the City in that the proposed residential project would be required to comply with all applicable provisions of the Development Code, Chapter 19.04, Residential Districts. The proposal would be developed consistent with the RU land use district for detached single- familyuses. The proposed amendment would increase the size of the residential project site, allowing development of a comprehensive Planned Residential Development, meeting all applicable development standards, including open space, and amenities. 3. Does the proposed amendment maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City? The property is adjacent to other residential uses in the RU land use district and is consistent with the General Plan Policies as described in Finding No. 1. The proposal would provide additional opportunities for housing development. The General Plan Amendment would not adversely impact the balance of land uses within the City, since it would promote land use consistency by extending the existing RU district from Artesian Avenue to Pico Street. The proposal will prevent potential land use conflicts that could occur under the existing General Plan, which designates the subject 2.5-acre site Industrial Light, surrounded by properties designated RU, Residential Urban.

Tenmtroe Tract Map 17754 (Paloma Park) is lonted south of Walnut Stmt and consists of 48 single-family residential units. Both projects are bang proposed by one applitxnt, ANR Industdea, Inc. Because the sites are across the stmt flour each other and development will likely occur within the same time frame, the air quality analysis was perfommed based on the sum of both tract cnteda. That is, they were treated as one project for the purposes of evaluating potential air quality impacts. III a) Air quality at any site is dependent on the regional air'quality and local pollutant sources. Regional au quality is determined by the release of pollutants throughout the sic basin. Estimates for the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) have been made for existing emissions ("2003 Air Quality Management Plan", August 1, 2003). The data indicate that mobile soucca are the major source of regional emissions. Motor vehicles (Le., on-mad mobile sources) account for approximately 45 percent of volatilt organic compounds (VOC), 63 percent of nitrogen ozide (NOa) emissions, and approzimatety 76 percent of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. . The South Coast Air Quality Management Distaet (SCAQMD) has divided the SCAB into 38 source m~ttoc areas (SRA) with a designated ambient sic monitoring station representative of most of these areas. The LS 7 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY • project is located in SCAQMD Source Receptor Area 34, San Bernardino. The sit quality monimrirtg station designated for this area is the San Bernardino-4~ Street Sattion. This is the nearest sic quality monitoring statoa ro the project. The air pollutants measured here iaclude ozone'(O~), (CO), Particulate Matta (PMto and PMas), and nitrogen dioride (NOx). Sulfur diotdde (SOx) was not monitored at this station. •Sulfias are produced by the reaction in the air of sulfur diozide tSOz), which is a compoaeat of add rain Sources of sulfur dioz;de include rnal boating power plant and diesel engines. California does not have any coal butaing power plants and all diesel fuels sold in the state aze now Iowa in sulfur, and sulfates are not an isstu in the azea. The proposed project would not contribute to additional sulfates in the atmosphere and therefore, this is not an issue. SO: concrntntions have grnerally bern low throughout the South Coast Air Basis for many yeah due to the induction in the amount of sulfur in diesel fuels. Projected emissions aze hued on assumptions for developmrnt in the Gry's General Plan, which aze substantially less than the usumptions~n the AQMP; consequrntiy, the project will not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the AQMP. III b) Based on an air quality modeling analysis perfoaned by Mestre Greve Associates, there will be no significant short-term construction or long-tear operational impacts due to the project hued on the SCAQMD thresholds of significance (See Table 1). Projected emissions for this relatively small project will not eaceed SCAQMD thresholds of significance for pollutants (See Tables 2 and 3) and will only be a fraction of the total emissions throughout the basin (See Table 4).

Temporary impacts will result 6:om project construction activities. Au pollutants will be emitted by construction equipmrnt and fugitive dust will be generated during grading of the project site. Grading represents the constmcdon activity that will result in the highest levels of air pollutant emissions assoaated with constmction. Considerable short-term emissions of ROG will occur from the application of azchitectunl coating (painting) and asphalt paving. Table 5 shows the tnasitnum a0owable activity that can take place in order ro avoid exceeding the ROG threshold: Each maximum pa day is calculated separately aniT does not consider emissions from activities listed in Table 2.

IS 9 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IlVITIAL STUDY The project will be developed in a series of phues, u described in the project desotiption. Infomtadon regarding the specific types and amount of coastntction equipment were sot available at the time of the analysis. As such, usumpdons and emission factors were developed for aworst-case acauuo to providr the tiara in Table 2. Assumptions include the we of foot pieces of havy equipment, a water tntck and 30 construction works vehicles (40 miles round trip pa vehicle) pa day. Since a worst cue scenario wu wed, spedfic phuing information such as mazimum aces to be graded pa day and specific pieces of equipment will not affect the hfestre Greve analysis. Mitigation Measures In evalwting the proposed project using the URBEMI52002 model, assumptions adhering to SCAQNID Rules 402 and 403 are required; therefore, the conclusion of less than significance is bued on mitigation measures enumerated herein. In order to mitigate these potential impacts, the City requires the preparation and approval of PM~o management plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the Pubhc Works Division. In addition, the project proponent must incorporate the following Air Quality (AQ) mitigation measures into the projca and implement them in order to induce potential impacts to a level of less than significant. AQ-1 The project shall comply with the requirements of the SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403 for fugitive dwt, which requires the implementation of Reaeoaable Available Control Measurer (RACM) for all fugitive dust sources, and the Air Quality Management Plan (AMCP), which identifies Best Available Control Measurer (BACM) and Bect Available Control Technologies (BACT) for area sources and point sources, respectively. AQ-2 • The project proponent shall ensure that construction equipment shall be properly maintained and serviced to minimize exhaust emissions. • The project proponent shall ensure that existing power sources are utilized where feasible via temporary power poles to avoid on-siu power generation. • The project proponent shall ensure that construction personnel be informed of ride sharing and transit opportunities. • The project proponent shall ensure that any portion of the site to lx graded shall be pte- watered ro adepth of three feet prior to the onset of grading activities. • The project proponent shall ensure that watering of the site or othei soil stabilization method shall be employed on an on-going basis after the initiation of a~ grading utiviry on the site. Portions of the site that are actively being graded shall be watered regularly ro ensure that a crust ie formed on the ground surface, and shall be watered at the end of each workday. • The project proponent shall ensure that all disturbed aeeas are treated to prevent erosion until the site is fully constructed. • The project proponent shall ensure that landscaped areas ate installed as soon as possible to reduce the potential for wind erosion. • The project proponent shall ensure that SCAQMD Rule 403 is adhered to, ensuring the clean up ofconstruction-related dirt on approach routes to the site. • The project proponent shall ensure that all goading activities are suspended during 6zst and second stage ozone episodes oo when winds exceed 25 miles per hour. • All buildings on the project site shall conform to energy use guidelines is Title 24 of the Caflfoenia Administrative Code.

AQ-7 To the greaust exunt feasible, use of pmconted, pre-colored and naturally colored building mauriale will be used to minimize the amount of paint used for azchiuctunl coating.' AQ-8 To the gmauat extent possible, high trwsfer efficiency painting methods such as HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayers wd brushes/rollers will be used for the application of azchitcctural coating. III c) As pet the discussion in III b above, the project is in the South Coast Air Basin, a non-attainment basis[ for nittogen dioxide, sulfates, particulate matter, and ozone. The proposed project could add inaementally to pollutants in the basin, however because the project u small and with the above mitigation measures to be implemented, short-term and long-term impacts arc less than significant (for NO„ PM,o and ozone) and the contribution to regional nit quality impacts would be de tninitnus. III d) In 1998 and 1999, the SCAQMD conducted a study of nit toairs in the Basin, Multiple Air Tonics Ettposure Study II(MATES-In. The MATES-II amdy estimated that the average basin wide potential cancer ziak from all Touc Ait Contaminaam (TAG) was about 1,406 ezcess cancers pee million. Meaning that, smtisdcally, 1,400 people is one million contract cancer due to their lifetime ezposure to TAC in the basin. The study determined that approzintately 71 percent of the risk was from Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). It should be noted that this estimaud ask is based on a 70-year ezposure to TAC concentrations measured and modeled doting the MATES-II study period and do not take into acwunt any future reductions is TAC concmtntions. In 1998 the Califoatia Air Resources Boud (ARB) identified particulate matte from diesel-fueled engines (Diesel Pardculau Matto or DPM) as a TAC. As a part of the idmtificadon process, the ARB's Office of Enoitonmmml Health Hazard Assessment (OF.HHA) evaluated the potential for DPM to affect htunaa health. The OF.HHA found that ezposures to DPM resulted in an increased risk of cancer and an intxease its chronic' noncancer health effects including a greater inddence of cough, labored breathing, chest tighmess, wheezing, and bronchitis. On April 28, 2005, ARB adopted an "Air Quality and Land Use Handbook" which provides advisory guidelines for siting sensitive uses near facilities that genenu toxic air contaminants. The handbook is intended to serve as a general reference guide for evaluating and reducing air pollution impacts assoaated with new projects that go through the land use decision-making process. The handbook recommends minimum distances from significant sources of TAC. Two sources tired in the handbook are tail yards and distribution craters. The following smtements s~+..,.,,s.;>e these smtements: Rail Yards i. Avoid placement of sensitive land uses within 1,000 feet of a major service and maiatmance rail yard. IS 11 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INPfIAL STUDY ii. Consider siting limindons and mitigation approaches within s mik of a rail yard. Distribution Cmten i. Avoid siting neav sensitive land uses within 1,000 ft of a distribution curter that accommodates over 100 trucks per day, more than 40 trucks with operattag transport refiigeration units (TRUs) pcr day, or where TRU unit operations ezceed 300 hates per week. ii. Take into account the configuration of etristing distribution centers and avoid locating residences near entry and etdt points. However, the project site is located in proximity. to the BNSF nil yards. The homes proposed in the project are located more than 1,000 feet from the rail facilities to the north and to the southwest (See Ezltibit ~. It has been determined that the best way to deteanine significance is by comparing the risk ai the proposed project site to the typical risk experienced South Coast Air Basin. The risk in the vicinity of the project site does not exceed 500 in a million. This is less than the 1,400 in a million average risk in the SCAB. Therefore, the project is not significantly impacted by TAC. III e) During development of the proposed project, primary regional emission sources will be generated by motor vehicles. Other emissions will originate from natural gas combustion associated with water/space hating and the generation of electricity; as well u from the use of consumer products. These emissions should not generate objectionable odors for the suaounding residents.

As a result of coastal development the buaowiog owl is declining and the CDFG has designated the burowing owl as California Spedes of Spedal Concern, (CSC). These speaes are so designaud because of declining population levels limited ~ and/or continuing tlueats making them vulnerable to extinction. While habitat exists on the projett site for the buaowing owl; as a result of the disking of the site for weed control, colonization is not expected while the cuarnt land management practices aze in place. BR-i Burrowing owls are not expecud to take up residrnce on the sie as long as the current land managemeat practices remain in force. However, if the siu remains fallow, burrowing owls could colonize the property. In that evcny a focused survry for that species shall be conducted. The survry ehafl be conduced according to the recommended guidelines of the Burrowing Owl Consortium (1993). A report of findings shall be submitted to the Development Service Department prior ro issuance of grading permits. San Bemazdino ICangazoo Rat The San Bemazdino kangazoo rat (SBI4I) is described as being confined to prunary and secondary alluvial fan scrub habitats, with sandy soils deposited by fluvial (water) rather than aeolian (wind) processes; burrows are dug in loose soil usually near or beneath shrubs. In recent years they have been found in highly disturbed • habitats adjacent to otherwise suitable habitat. However this speaes is particular to scrub communities along natural river beds, streams and drainage. The drainage along the eastern portion of the site has been channelized for 50 years and therefore altered due to flood control efforts. No suitable habitat exists on the siu for the SBKR on the property. - Most of the raptor speaes (eagles, hawks, falcons and owls) aze ezperirnang population declincs as a result of habitat loss. Some, such as the peregrine falcon, have also ezperirnced population losses as a result of rnvironmrntal toxins affecting reproductive success, animals destroyed as pests of colleted for falconry and other direct impacts on individuals. Only a few speaes such as the red- wiled hawk and the berm owl have ezpanded their Huge in spite of of u a result of human modifications m the environment As a group raptoa are of concern to state and federal agmdes.

The project site does not contain any wetLmds u defincd by Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act IV d) Wildlife movement and the fiagmmtation of wildlife habitat are recognized as important wildlife issue that must be rnnsidered in assessing impacts to wildlife. In summary, habitat fiagmentation is the division or breaking up of lager habitat areas into smaller areas that may or troy not be capable. of independently sustaining wildlife and plant populations. Wildlife movement, (more properly recognized u epees movement), is the temporal movement of spedea along various types of coaidots. Wildlife corridors are especially important for connecting fragmented wildlife habitat The size of the property and its location in a residential area limit wildlife use of the site. The site is adjacent to one channel of Lytle Creek; however the channel is mostly artificial and provides little value to wildlife spedes other than birds. The project site is cutseady surrounded by a chain link fence which effectively prevents any movement of wildlife across or through the site. It probably hu only limited function as a wildlife cortidor. Wildlife coaidocs are therefore not presort on the property, and habitat fragmentation has already occurred as a result of road, housing, and rail line development in the immediate area.

The project site gently slopes towards the southeast with changes in elevation between 1,072 and 1,086 feet above mean sea level (msl). Grading to develop building pads, roads, curbs and gutters will be required with cuts and fill generally less than 5 feet from existing grade. According to the Repot of Geotechxica! IxrrtdgaAiox, Wabtrrt Strzet North RetidexAia! Pn, jtct, Sax Bernardino, California prepared by Southrm Califotraia Soil & Testing, Inc. (SCST), the rear surface sediments underlying the site att pottntially compressible and are not suimbk for the support of settlement-sensitive improvenuxtts in their present condition. Settlement-sensitive improvements iaclude residential units, streets and hardscape areas. This constitutes a potentially signi5cant impact SCST included a recommendation regarding compressible soils listed u a mitigation measure below. Implemenmdon of SCST's recommendation will mitigate this impact to a level las than signifitpnt, contingent upon their review of final plans and spedficadons.

VI b-c) On April 17, 2006, Dr. Floyd J. Wdliuns, Regstered Professional Geologist, inspected the project site is consultation with the Gty of San Bemazdino Planning Department Dr. Williams concluded thst a portion of the project lies within the boundaries of an Alquist-Pciolo Spedal Study Zone. Dr. VG'ilhams ecommended that a geological investigation be puformed to meet the requirements of the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act Geological investigations were performed and reported by Southern California Soil & Testing, Inc., as discussed below. According to the Fault Report of Geotabnieallxoatigation, Walnut Street,\onb Ruidestio! Projru, San Bernardino, Calijornut prepared by SCST, the project site is located within the San Bernardino Vallry at the northern margin of the Peninsular Ranges geomorphic province of California. The valley is located within a depressed stractural block bounded by the San Andreas fault to the northeast and the San Jacnto fault to the southwest. The valley is tinderlain by approximately 700 to 800 feet of sediments overlying crystalline bedrock. Sediments are primarily alluvial fan, scream and flood deposits derived from the San Bemazdino and San Gabriel mountains. The San Jacinto fault zone extends from the Cajon Pass area southwest m the Imperial Valley. SCST has indicated that it appears the main strand of the San Jacinto fault passes approximately 95 feet to the southwest of the subject site at its closest point The San Jacinto fault zone is a major active component of the San Andreas fault system and is currmdy considered the most active major fault in Southun California. Othu major active fault zones in the area include the San Andreas fault zone to the northeast, the Sierra hfadre and San Gabriel fault zones to the west and the Elsinore fault zone to the southwest Gzound shaking is likely to occur during the project life and constitutes a potentially significant impact by exposing people aztd stractttres to adverse effects that may result in injury, loss or death. The project site is partially located within the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (AP Zone) associated with the San Jacinto fault (Exhibit 5). The Alquist-Priolo Fault Zoning Act is intended to reduce the hoard of ground rapture to stractures for human occupanry. The Alquist-Paolo Fault Zoning Act does not address non-grotmd rapture hazards associated with earthquakes, including ground shaking, liquefaction or seismically induced landslides. A fault is given this designation if it is considered to be "sufficiently active and well-defined" such that it poses a risk of surface rupture. An active fault is defined as one that has experienced movement during Holocene time (corresponding to the last 11,000 yeazs) and. includes the San Jacinto fault The Alquist-Priolo Fault Zoning Act generally requires that stractures for human occupanry aze set back 50 feet from the fault and maq not be placed ovu any fault trace. STSC determined during their study that on-site faulting was not evident and therefore no setbacks are warranted. There is a significant risk of fault movement during the life of the project which may result in ground surface rapture. Potentially significant impacts to htttnan health and property including loss, injury and death may occur. IS 19 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INTITAL STUDY The following mitigation measure shall be implemmted to reduce potmtially significant impacts due to the project's proximity to the San Jacinto fault zone to a level less than significant GS-4 Site devebpment, including wnstrnction of foundations, shall be performed in accordance with the recommendations contannnd in the Repast o[ Geotechnical Investigation, Walnut Street North Residential Project, San ]iernudino California Quly 2006), prepared by Southern California Soil and Testing, Inc. GS-5 Post-tension foundations based on the Post Tensioning Institute method shall be utilized for the support of proposed structures. GS-6 All foundation excavations shall be approved prior to forming or placement of reinforcing steel by a qualified engineer. VI d) The projett site is cunendy vacant except for approximately one acre containing the miler park. The majority of the site is covered with common weedy vegetation such that topsoil is held in places During grading and construction, erosion or the loss of topsoil could occur, however, with implemmtation of mitigation measures idmtified in Section III Air Quality for the control of fugitive dust, and Section VIII Hydrology and Water Quality for the control of stoanwater and sediments on-site, inddmces of erosion would be controlled. Because the site is relatively flat, sloping in a southeasterly direction, the site will be graded to accommodate drainage but will not be developed with slopes or other changes in topography that would be susceptible to erosion or loss of top soil. • VI e) The project site is relatively flat with a change in elevation of approximately 14 feet attoss the site and is located in an area where there are no physical features that would be subjett to laadsliding or mudsfiding. Subsidmce associated with groundwatcr extraction is not a common occurrence in the Gty of San Bemazdino evm though the water supply is wholly from groundwater. This is because the Water Departmmt has a long history of watu extraction and replenishmmt such that Subsidmce does not occur. The Colton Water'Distria has indicated that cuamt the groundwater level at a nearby well on an adjacent property to the south of Walnut Street is approximately 200 feet below grotmd surface.. VI ~ Liquefaction is caused by build-up of ezcess hydrostatic pressure in saturated cohesiodess soils due to cyclic stress gmerated by ground shaking during an earthquake. The significant factors oa which' soil liquefaction potmtial dcpmds are the soil type and density, intmsiry and duration of earthquake and depth of groundwater. With the presmce of underlying alluvial material, along with the absmce of groundwater less that 50 feet below grade, potmtial susceptibility to soil liquefaction is considered to be less than significant The Colton Water District has indicated that the cnrrmt groundwater level at a nearby well on adjacent property to the south of Walnut Street is approximately 200 feet below ground surface. VI g) No unique physical features aze located on the site according to the study by SCST. VI h) During constrution, grading and excavation could result in soil erosion, generate dust or create uasmble soil conditions.. For erosion assocated with storm evmts the project contractor will be requited to adhere to the requirements of the Gry of San Bemazdino and to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) through itnplementadon of a storm water Pollution Prevmtion Plan (SWPPP). The following mitigation measures will mstue that the project will have a less than significant impact oa erosion, dust and unstable soils during constmction (note: also see Section III Air Quality and Section VIII Hydroktgy and .

VIII b) The proposed projett is the development of an in-fill residential pmject; a 95-unit coadoatittium subdivision on approximately 125 aces. Approzimately 9.4 acres aze designated fox Residential Urban use and the remaining 2.6 acres is zoned IL (Industrial Light). The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan fox the area designated fox RU and the applicant has requested a Grneral Plan Amendment to allow residential on the remaining 2.6 acres. The SBMWD meetly completed the Urban Watu Managemrnt Plan (LJWMP) update (December 2005) that documrnts water supply reliability and outlines water use effidrnry measures adopted ro ensure adequate water supply is the service area. Included in the UWMP is an estimate of Future needs based on population growth in the City. Since the City is largely built out ezcept for the Verdemont area in the northwest portion of the City, projects such as the Walnut Stmt north condominium subdivision will likely make up the future growth in the City. The UWMP identifies an additional 1,055 residential customers between 2005 a~ 2010, based on the amount of vacant residential land remaining in the City, and an additional 1,270 raideatial customers in 2020. The 95 condominiums proposed in this project wouk! be included in this calculation.

According to the Department of Water Resources, the depth ro gmundwater is approzimately 188 feet below grade (Phase I Site Assessmm; Ocrobu ?A03). Recharge of the aquifer is generally through local precipitation and by stream flow from rain and snowmclt from the San Bernardino Mountains watershed Thee aze no groundavatu wells on the project site or in the vicinity that would be affected by development of the proposed project. Therefore, no significant impact to groundwatu resources is antidpated VIII c) Development of the project site includes the construction of 95 detached condominiums plus, internal streets, curb and gotta, driveways and landscaped azeas. During constrnctioq storm events tray Deno that could cause uosion of on-site soils. The developu will be requited to comply with the requirement of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) peanit requirements for constmcdon projects. The State of California is authorized to administu various aspects of the NPDES permit Construction activities covered undo the State's General Construction permit include removal of vegetadoq grading, excavating, or any other activity that causes the disturbance of one acre or more. The permit zequices recipients to reduce or eliminate non-storm watu dischazges into storm watu systems, and to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (S\~PPP). The Regional Water QuaGry Control Board (RVG'QCB), Santa Ana Region has issued anazea-wide NPDES Storm Water Permit for the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District and the incorporated dries of San Bernardino County within the Santa Ana Region. The Ciry of San Bernazdino then requires implementation of measures foz a project to comply with the azea-wide permit requirements. The SWPPP must include Best hfanagement Practices (BMPs) to prevent the project from polluting surface watus. This is a standazd condition of approval applicable to most urban projects. In addition, the applicant must also prepare andvaplemrnt a Watu Quabry Management Plan (WQMP) that would remain in place during the life of the project The following measures must be implemented ensure impacts from watu runoff and erosion are less than significant HWQ-2 Prior ro issuance of grading permits, the developer shall file a Notice of Inunt (NOI) with the Stau Waur Quality Control Board for construction disturbing one acre or more of lead.

Impacts to residents are anticipated to be aignifuanc The following mitigation measures will ensure that park residents metve adequate support sad assismna in relocating and finding new housing. LU-1 Prior to issuance of grading permits, the project proponent ehaU assist all residents of Rancho Mobile Home Patk fn relocating by hiring a moving company ro rebcate there personal affeca ro their new housing. LU-2 Prior to issuance of grading permits, the project proponent shall purchase all mobile homes that are currently owned, u indicated in the Rebcadon Impact Repoet LU-3 Prior to issuance of grading permits, the project proponent shall eater agreements with all residents of the Rancho Mobile Home Park in how the project proponent can and will assist residents in relocating. These agreements may include but are not limited to real subsidies and additional relocation assistance. Copies of all sigrted agreements shall be submimd to the City of San Bernardino Planning Department for verification. Section 66427.4 of the Subdivision Map Act states that at the time of filling a tentative map, a report shall be filed discussing the impact on displaced residents and the availability of adequate replacement space in area mobile home pazks. A copy of this report has been provided to the San Berttardino Ernnomic Development . Agenry and will be made available to all residents of the Park at least 15 days prior to the hearing on the map by the advisory agenry or legislative body. Based on the mitigation meuuces noted above, the project impact to land uses is considered to be less than significant. The proposed project is located on approximately 12.5 acres with an area of aprozmately 9.4 aces that is zoned RU-1 (Residential Urban). The remaining portion of the site, approximately 2.6 saes in area, boated at the eastern edge adjacent ro the Lytle Creek Channel is zoned IL (Industrial Light). The proposed project proposes to request a change of land use designation from the eristing II, designation to RU-1, which would allow a higher density of structures on the land and be consistent with the surrounding developments. D{ b} The proposed project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of as agency with jurisdiction over the project adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect The project will require a General Plan Amendment and a Zoning Ordinance change to allow for the Planned Residential Development in the configuration and density proposed. The proposal is to subdivide the 12.5 acres into 95 detached single-family condominium units. Approximately 9.4 acres aze currently zoned as RU-1 (Residential Urban) and approximately 2.6 acres are zoned IL (Industrial Light). The density proposed on the 2.6 acres would be consistent with the planned residential development where the intent is to consolidate lots to achieve maximum open space. The RU district allows for density of 8 units per gross sae. The proposed density is in conformance with current zoning and general plan designations. Since the density is slightly less than the maximum allowable the impacts to land use aze considered to be less than significant II{ c) The project is not located within a wikllife conservation plan or natural community conservation plan so it will not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community consemtica plan. The project is not located within the San Bemadino Intentationsl Airport Land Usc Plan. Since this area u considered a redevelopment project area development is encouraged and anddpated The project site is IS 32 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INTITAL STUDY • lonted in a fairly urbanized region of the city wd no appropriate wildlife habimt criers adjacmt to the site, therefor there are no impacts to habimt conservation plans or natural communities as a result of the development of this project I}L d) The project site is flat and not lonted within or adjacent to the Hillside Management Overlay District, therefore there are no impacts to slopes associated with the development of this project. IX e) The project site is not being developed within Foothill Fin Zones A, B, or C as identified in the City's General Plan Figure 61 of the Wmd and Fire Flcment, therefore there an no impacts to Ere hazards on-site. IX E) The proposed project is not located within the San Bernardino Intemadoaal Airport's azea of influrnce.

The Lyde Creek Wash azea has aggregate extnction operations octvmngin various locations along the length of the wash, but not in the irtunediate vicinity of the project sitc. Due to dte site's location within a relatively urban area, recovery of aggregate resources Eocn the sitc is not considered to be viable, but the proposed project does not preclude aggregate material from being extracted in other locations in the wash. Therefore, no significant impacts to minenl resources aze anddpated. • LS 34 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES .

E) Other. ^ ^ ^ ^ Discussion: XI a) The proposed project will consist of detached singlrfamily condominium units; the noise associated with the proposed use is ezpetted to be well within the standazds established in the General Plan. Howcva, short- temt construction noise may affett adjacent residences during on-site construction from equipment and vibration from exavation and grading. The only source of noise impacting the project site is from activity at the nil yazd located just southwest of the project The noise measurements presorted in Section 1.5 showed that the Ldn (Day-Night Avenge Level) at the measucanmt site was 61.7 dBA. Ldn represents the average A-Weighted sound level during a 24hour period, obtained after the addition of 10 dedbels to sound levels in the night from 10:00 p.tn to 7:00 asn. The measurement site was selected to represent the worst-case receptor within the project Therefore, noise levels in all odter areas of the projett will be less than the measured noise level Therefore, outdoor noise levels within the project will not exceed the Gry's 65 Ldn outdoor noise standard. LS 35 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INTfIAL STUDY r~ LJ Typical construction (complying with Title 24 energy effitirnry requirements) provides 12 dB of outdoor-to- indoor noise reduction with open windows and at least 20 dB of reduction with closed windows. Therefore, indoor noise levels are projected to be 50 Ldn witit open windows and 42 Ldn with closed windows. With oprn windows the indoor noise levels will exceed the interior standard but the standard will not be ezceeded if windows can remain closed. Therefore, the project will be significantly impacted by noise if windows of -the homes cannot remain dosed Mitigation is as follows: N-1 Buyer Notification Program-All potential buyers of homes in the project shall be notified to the existence of the rail yards in the vicinity of the project and the fact that most of the activities at these rail yards occur doting the nighttime boon, that noise k-vebt in the area are typically higher during the aighttimc hours than during the daytime hour, and that windows will need ro be closed ro reduce the noise levels generated by tits rail yard to below the City's standards, although the residents are not required to keep the windows closed. N-2 Mechanical Ventilation-Homes within the project will need to be able to keep their windows closed to meet the City's 45 Ldn standard. Therefore, mechanical ventilation confirming to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code will need to be provided to allow occupants to keep their windows closed. Note that windows do not need m be sealed shut, but be able ro remain closed at the occupants' discretion. Mechanical ventilation allows this. The means to satisfy this condition hall be included in the architectural drawings for the project prior to isstance of building permits. N-3 Sound Rated Windows-To ensure that homes adjacent to the rail yaed are not significandy impacted by eingk event noise from rail yard activities or train paw bys oa the rail line ewt of the project site all.windows is the homes on Lots 24-29 of Tract 17239, and Lou 1-3,11-23, 36-40, and 46-48 of Tract 17754 shown in Exhibit 7 shall be wand rated with a minimum STC rating of 34. Window specifications shall be included in the architectural drawings for the project prior to issuance of building permits. XI b) As discussed in item "i' above the project itself should not have any impacts on the levels of noise (mduding ground home vibrations) due to its residential nature, however there may be some ezcessive vibrations or noise IeveLs during construction. With the proper mitigation as indicated for item ``-`a" the impact from ground home vibrations should be less than significant The project site is not ezposed m mnaidenble noise levels from any arterial roadways. XI c) The project is residential in nature. There will be an inaease in noise levels during the day from dtildrm playing and vehicle ingress and egress from the project uea, but this increase is not considered to be a substantial peananmt increase in ambient noise. The project uea is a residential land use disttict; the noise grnerated by residential uses is expected within the uea. No impact is antidpated. XI d) Noise levels generated by constmcrion of the project will exceed the California Model Noise Ordinance Limits at the homes adjacrnt to the project. However, the Model Noise Ordinance exempts constmction noise that occurs during weekday daytime hours and noise grnerated by typical constmction equipment during these hours is typically not considered to result in a significant noise impact. Construction is not proposed to occur outside the hours of 7:00 a.m and 7:00 p.m. Mondaq through 5anrrday, nor oo national holidays. With this condition construction of the project will not result in a significant sha~rt-term noise impact IS 36 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INT!'IAL STUDY • N-4 Noise-generating construction activities are prohibited between the boon of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. noc anytime on Sundays or federal holidays. XI e) The project is not kxated within an airport land use plan or Airport Influence Aces, therefore it would not expose people residing or working is the pmjea ara to ezcessive noise levels. i IS 37 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES INITIAL STUDY • Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than No Significant With Significant Lnpact Impact hfitigatioa Impact Incorporated XII.

The project is antiapated to have a less than significant impact on inducing growth. XII b) The proposed project would remove existing housing and displace the residents of the 27 space mobile borne puk on a small portion of the project site. Impacts aze anddpated ro be reduced ro a less than significant level as a result of a relocation packages prepared for the residents by the applicant's attorneys. See Mitigation Measures LU-1 through LU-4. •The residents of the Rancho Mobile Home Park have been duly notified and kept current with the information regarding the, status of the project puwuant to'State law. Impacts arc anticipated ro be less than significant after mitigation. XII c) The proposed project is located in the Mt. Vernon Condor Redeveltipmrnt Area as defined in the City of San Bernardino General Plan. In accordance with the provisions of the Replacement and Inclusionary Housing Plan - Yeaz 2001, the project is required to make 15% of its units available at a cost affordable by low or moderate-income households. This would equate to 14 units of affordable housing. The project proponent will be required to inter a covrnant with the City to keep the specified units available at affordable rates for a set amount of time. The City currently has a surplus of affordable housing according to the City of San Bernazdino Replacement and Inclusiottary Housing Platt - Yeaz 2001 (Resolution No. CDC/2001-17). Through fiscal yeaz 2011-2012, the Mt. Vernon Corridor Redwelopmrnt Area is required to provide 38 units, 15 available for very-low income households and 23 available for low to moderate income households. Currently, this Redevelopment Area has 97 eating units available to these income levels which consists 59 surplus units (97 - 38 = 59). Table 10 illustrates this information.

The Fire Department provides emergenry medical case (with emecgenry medical team personnel and paramedics), "HazMat" (hazudous materials) teams and mources, and aircraft rescue and fire fighting services. The Fire Department also conducts fire safety inspections of businesses, and educates the public about safety measures through school and disaster ptepuedness progruns. The City of San Bernardino Fire Department has 12 fire stations. The newest fire station to the project site is Fire Station No. 9 located at 202 North Meridian Avenue, approximately 1.S miles northwest of the project site. The proposed projecr is a residential in-fill project of 95 detached condominiums that would not require additional Fire Department services beyond what can be provided. Developer Impact fees are collected at the time of building permit issuance. Therefore, impacts to fire protection ue anticipated to be less than significant Poi ce Protection: The City of San Bernardino operates its own Pohce Department that divides the City into five districts or ueu. The project site is located in Area A with two Police stations serving the area; one at 1574 West Baseline Street and a second at 1332 West Fifth Strect. The Fifth Stmt Station is approximately two miles northeast of the project site. All emergenry calls and requests Eor service from the project site will be dispatched from the main police station at 710 North D Street Response times of police patrol units average 4.5 minutes for 911 Emergenry calls; 7.9 minutes for 911 Priority One (Urgent) calls; and 19.2 minutes for Priority Two (As Sooa u Possible) calls.

XVI d) The proposed project is the development of an in-fill residential project; a 95-unit condominitun subdivision on approximately 12.5 aces. Approaimatcly 9.4 acres arc designated for Reidmtial Urban use and the remaining 2.6 acres is zoned IL (Industrial Light). The proposed project is consistent with the General Platt for the aze designated for RU and the applicant has requested a Gmml Plan Amendment to allow residential on the *n*+-~~~g 2.6 acres. The SBMWD recently completed the Urban Watu Management Plan (UWMP) update (December 2005) that documents watu supply reliability and outlines water use effiamry measures adopted to ensure adequate water supply in the service area. Iacluded in the UWMP is an estimau of future needs based on population growth in the City. Since the City is largely built out except for the Verdemoat azea of the City, projects such as the Walnut Street north condominium subdivision will likely make up the future growth in the City. The UWMP identifies an additional 1,055 residential customers between 2005 and 2010, based on the amount of vacant residential land remaining in the City, and an additional 1,270 residential customers in 2020. The 95 condominiums proposed in this project would be included in this calculation. XVI e) The site is within the City of San Bernardino sewage service area, which has adequate capaaty to serve the proposed project Appropriate Sewer Connection Fees will be required by the Department of Public Works through standazd conditions of approval. Any impacts to the sewer system will be less than significant __ XVI f) The proposed project will be served by the City of San B.emazdino Refuse & Rerycling Divisioq which provides collection services to residential and commert~al customers for refuse,. reryclable, and green waste.

This program has been prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State and City of San Bernazdino CEQA Guidelines. CEQA Section 21081.6 requires adoption of a monitoring andlor 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 Plan contain the following elements: 1. The mitigation measures aze 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 Bernazdino. 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 accompapying monitoring/reporting actions follow. They are numbered in the same sequence as presented in the Initial Study. • Mitigation Monitoring and Repotting Plan TTM No. 17239, GPA No. 05-04 & DP3 OS-]0 Page 2 • ~ MITIGATION MEASURES III.
