This project is subject to both the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) because of the use of federal funds for part of the improvements. The ERC recommended a Finding of No Significant Impact (or FONSI) under the NEPA regulations based on the attached Environmental Assessment (Attachment C). (CEQA recommends using the NEPA process for projects which must comply with both CEQA and NEPA.) The Mayor and Council adopted the FONSI on February 16, 1987, after a ten day public review period. Subsequently, improvements were made to the ballfield and one season of operation has passed. During that time a number of problems surfaced including noise, traffic and parking. There has been a considerable amount of public concern expressed to the City Council over the impacts of the ball park on the surrounding neighborhood. On September 21, 1987, during a discussion of Public Health and Safety Findings required by the OPR for the replacement of the lighting fixtures, the Council directed staff to cause to be prepared an Environmental Impact Report which addresses lighting, noise and traffic. ~B~_ENYIRON~~~~~_~~YIEW PROCESS The environmental review process (both NEPA and CEQA) is a disclosure process intended to assure that the public and the decision makers are fully aware of the impacts that will occur if a project is approved. Also, it is intended to provide sufficient information on what kinds of changes or mitigation measures can be made in the project to reduce or remove those impacts. The process prescribed by the Public Resources Code would be to prepare an Initial Study (an Environmental Assessment 75-0264 c c ~ Memorandum to the Mayor and Council Fiscalini Field October 5, 1987 Page 2 under NEPA) of the project considering all phases of project planning, implementation, and operation. Based on the information provided by the Initial Study regarding the impacts of the project and the measures which could be applied to mitigate negative impacts, a Determination of Significance is made. An EIR (or EIS under NEPA) would be required under the state law if the lead agency determines from the Initial Study that there is substan~ial evidence that a project may have a significant effect on the environ- ment. Section 15064 of the CEQA Guidelines calls for careful judgment on the part of the public agency and the decision must be based to the extent possible on the scientific and factual data provided in the Initial Study. Section 15064(h) indicates that in marginal cases the lead agency should be guided by the following factors: 1) an EIR should be required if there is serious public controversy over the environmental effects (however, controversy unrelated to environmental issues does not require preparation of an EIR), and 2) an EIR should be required if there is a disagreement between experts over the significance of the effect on the environment. If the Initial Study which examines in detail the potential impacts of the project, finds that they can be substantially mitigated or removed, the project does not need and EIR (or EIS). Instead, the City would process a Negative Declaration (or FONSI) and impose the mitigation measures required. It is important to remember that the Mitigation Measures identified in either an Initial Study or an EIR are not auto- matically applied to a project. Certification of the EIR or adoption of the Negative Declaration does not implement the mitigation measures. They must be adopted as conditions of approval or be incorporated into the redesign of the project. Inclusion in the environmental document alone is not ade- quate, since it is only an information document. ENVIRON~j:m'~kJtlI'P.~:r_ F~POF~Y~-,-11lITI8k.F:rYPX From a technical standpoint, it is the Planning Department's opinion that an EIR/EIS is not necessary for Fiscalini Field in order to obtain sufficient information to mitigate the current problems. We believe the appropriate approach would be to prepare an Environmental Assessment under NEPA which addresses the lights, noise, parking, and traffic. This study would provide adequate information in the form of mitigation measures to reasonably reduce or remove the negative impacts. This was discussed with the ERC on September 24, 1987 and the ERC concurred. - ,r "- Memorandum to the Mayor and Council Fiscalini Field October 5, 1987 page 3 ,....'" ....) The major difference between any EIR/EIS and an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment ~s that the EIR would be required to assess additional options, including a "no project" option and a "worst case scenario" plus other alternatives. The term "focused EIR" is misleading in that all EIRs and Initial Studies are "focused" on the identified potential impacts of the project itself and do not cover the entire spectrum of possible impacts. For example, for a project downtown in an area that has been built out for years, it is not necessary to study flora and fauna or archaeological sites. The document studies only those impacts which the project has the potential of causing. However, the potential of legal challenge is also a consider- ation the Mayor and Council should address in deciding which environmental document to prepare. THE SCOPE OF ~HE DOCUMENT Whichever document is prepared, the environmental work must focus on the scope of the project. In this case, the project should be the entire ballfield improvement program and operation, not just the lights, although that was the item which precipitated the Council action. The replacement of the lights, by itself, is an exempt project and would not be subject to CEQA or NEPA. The potential impacts of the project have been identified as lighting, noise, traffic and parking. LiQhtill9. Discussions with the Engineering Division and the manu- facturer of the proposed lights lead staff to believe that City staff, with the assistance of Southern California Edison and the manufacturer, can measure the lights and develop the readouts required to assess the impacts of the proposed lights. Planning staff would prepare an analysis of the impacts using the measurements taken by the Engineering staff (using light meters from Southern California Edison) and readouts of the proposed lighting prepared by the manu- facturer. This would incur only staff time and would be sufficient for the purposes of an Initial Study/Environmental Assessment. However, the alternatives which would have to be studied in an EIR/EIS would require preparation of projections for various alternatives, and would not be within the capabili- c c o Memorandum to the Mayor and Council Fiscalini Field October 5, 1987 Page 4 ties of staff to prepare or the manufacturer to provide at no cost. A rough estimate of the cost for this analysis is $2,000 to $3,000. Noise Currently, a noise study is being prepared for the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department by an outside consultant and has been substantially completed. The cost of the study is $13,000 (the source has not been identified) and the study will assess the current noise impacts and provide mitigation measures. No additional work would be required, for the Initial Study/Environmental Assessment. Additional projections and analysis would various scenarios required by an EIR/EIS. of the additional work, to be done by the approximately $6,000. be required for the The estimated cost same consultant, is Traffic_and_~~f~ing The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department estimates that an analysis of the existing conditions includ- ing street capacity of Highland Avenue from Del Rosa Avenue to Waterman Avenue, intersection analysis, and on-site circulation and parking would cost $5,000. This study would have to be prepared by an outside consultant in that the Public Works Department at this time does not have the ability to conduct these studies. If the additional alternatives required for an EIR/EIS are included, the cost would be an estimated $10,000. OPTIONS There are two major decisions which the Council must make: 1. What will be the source of the funds for the remaining improvements to the ballfield, including the lights? If the choice is to use federal money, environmental documentation must be prepared pursuant to NEPA. 2. What type of environmental study is appropriate? If the Council wishes to address the existing problems only, the study of the existing scenario is appropriate. However, if the Council feels that, pursuant to Section 15064 of the State Guidelines, there there is serious public controversy over environmental issues, the more intensive study (EIR/EIS) is appropriate. c c ""' . ....; \ ,,J Memorandum to the Mayor and Council Fiscalini Field October 5, 1987 Page 5 The attached chart indicates the various options and the time and cost implications of each.

J Improvements to Fiscalini Field Summary of Environmental Conditions, Findings and Conclusions and Mitigation Measures. Traffic and Circulation The ratio of seats to parking spaces is approximately 9 persons per parking space. The dirt lot to the south of the parking lot can be used for additional parking, however, this creates dust and access concerns. It is recommended that the dirt lot be paved and striped to provide adequate parking and unrestict- ed circulation. Noise It is recommended that noise levels be measured during a game to determine if mitigation measures are necessary. Compatibility The improvements to the ball park are consistent with its existing use and the General Plan and zoning. The surrounding uses to the east and north are com- mercial and to the west and south are other park facilities. Housing a pro- ball team at Fiscalini Field brings a recreational amenity to the City of San Bernardino. Environmental Hazards There are no ha2ards at present such as those associated with slope, erosion, toxics, flooding and drainage. The improvements to the ball field will not create any potential hazards. Minimal grading will be required which will not include Perris 8111 itself. Services The City provides services such as water, sewer, trash pick up, police and fire. The potential intensification of use can be provided for and these services will not be impacted. Security The ballfield and clubhouse will have an alarm system installed. The ball team will be responsible for providing security during the games. pg. 8 r "- r ......, ') ...
