"D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 PROJECT TITLE: COOLEY RANCH EAST (VILLAGE PARK DEVELOPMENT) -- See Location Map Exhibit "A" attached REQUEST: Preparation of bid for a "Full Environmental Impact Report" (latest revised) in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) _ THE PROJECT: The project site is located in the southern portion of the City of San Bernardino and includes an approximately 160 acre parcel of land bounded by the Southern Pacific Railroad on the north, Waterman Avenue on the east, Barton Road on the south, and Hunts Lane on the west. The subject area is currently designated for General Industrial uses according to the City's General Plan. Surrounding designations include General Industrial uses to the north and east, a combination of General Commercial , Medium Density Residential , and General Industrial to the west, and finally, Medium Low Density Residential to the south. Zoning on the subject site is now Light Industrial . The project consists of a proposal to develop approximately 40 acres of industrial use as well as a 20} acre commercial shopping center combined with an additional 100± acres proposed for residential uses consisting of about 400 single-family detached and 440 attached dwelling units. City permits and public approvals required for this project will initially include a General Plan Amendment, Conditional Development Permit , zone change and tentative tract maps. It is the applicant's intent to submit a schematic site plan to the City in the first month of calendar year 1980 for use in assessing project impacts. In addition, the applicant has authorized the completion of a Preliminary Geologic and Seismic Investigation of the subject property. A large portion of the study area is included in the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as delineated by the California Division of Mines and Geology. The preliminary geotechnical report is expected to be completed by the first part of calendar year 1980 to facilitate site planning efforts. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: At the meeting of December 5, 1979, the Environmental Review Committee of the City of San Bernardino determined that an Environmental Impact Report should be prepared on the project. The factors outlined in the attached Exhibit"B": City of San Bernardino Environmental Information Checklist have, at a minimum, been identified as having the potential for significant adverse environmental impact. REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE: It has been determined that this project constitutes regional significance as defined in the City environmental review procedures and State Environ- mental Impact Report guidelines. STUDY COMPONENTS: The Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared in response to the development of the proposed Cooley Ranch East (Village Park Development) project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and shall provide necessary text and maps outlining existing conditions, adverse impacts, and proposed and recommended mitigation measures as well as project alternatives. The text shall fully address, but not be limited to these concerns noted in the Initial Environmental Study (see Exhibit "B") as well as the following enumerated items: 1 . Traffic and Air Quality - the project will cause an increase in traffic which may be substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system. Specifically, the section on traffic and air quality will need to address, but not limited to the following items: a. Projection of traffic generated upon full development as well as assessment of the adequacy of proposed access points. Projection of average daily traffic volume in 5, 10 and 20 year increments on Waterman Avenue and Barton Road. R b. Determination if traffic signals and/or stop signs will be needed. for internal and external intersecting streets. c. Evaluation of adequacy of general planned transportation system to accommodate projected traffic as well as safety factors and other relevant issues. d. Evaluation of public transit service needs as a result of the project. e. Costs related to transportation system improvements; potential for and sources of funding. f. Quantitative air quality analysis which shows carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon generation to be indicated on a contour map along with mitigating alternatives. 2. Noise Analysis - a quantitative (Ldn method) analysis of existing noise sources and impacts (auto, rail , and air) as well as "anticipated" noise levels based upon interior and exterior traffic generation studies (see item No. 1 , above) . Discussion and contour maps shall specifically address mitigating noise attenuation measures proposed including site design, building, and use location and structural measures proposed. 3. Geology and Hydrology - a discussion, evaluation and detailed review of proposed grading with mitigations and geology of the site in terms of soils, fault zones, low lying water table, stability, land form alterations proposed, water quality, safety, aesthetics and alternatives to be provided. The basis of this environmental review will be a completed geology report available for review in the Planning Department. 4. Flooding and Storm Drains - the San Bernardino County Flood Control District's existing Master Plan shall be analyzed fully as it effects proposed land uses for the site. The potential flooding of the site is to be evaluated and mitigations proposed. 5.. Sewer Services - description of the availability of sewer mains in the area and an assessment of the capability of the existing systems (lines and plant facilities) ability to accommodate the additional sewage that will be generated by the development. 6. Proposed Land Uses - the project does not conform to the City's General Plan in that general industrial is shown on the plan for this area. An analysis of this nonconformance is to be provided including compatibility of proposed land uses with surrounding existing and proposed land uses inclusive of alternatives and mitigations. 7. Phasing Plan - an analysis of the phasing plan which reflects the proposed development sequence, if applicable, shall be offered . 8. Community Facilities and Services - the project may significantly impact existing community facilities or result in a need for new community facilities in the area, such as fire, police, refuse, schools, parks, etc. An analysis of community facility needs, including costs and offsets are to be evaluated with specific measures of attainment outlined in the environmental report. 9. Cost/Benefit Analysis - a fiscal analysis (revenue/expenditure) of the project in relation to City services is to be provided and any resultant mitigation or offsets proposed. It should be noted that a "data base" for this information is not available and contacts with individual departments/agencies will be necessary. 10. Physical Characteristics - an analysis of the physical characteristics of this development in terms of lot sizes and street patterns (design standards, alternative physical design characteristics) is to be included to determine compatibility alternatives, site proposals and mitigation measures. 11 .

EXHIBIT B: DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Continued) The project consists of a proposal to develop an approximately 160± acre parcel including: 401- acres of industrial use; a 20± acre commercial shopping center; 100t acres of residential uses entailing about 840 single and multiple family residential uses. The subject area is bounded by the Southern Pacific Railroad, Waterman Avenue, Barton Road and Hunts Lane. Initial study findings indicate the following as referenced alpha- numerically to the above environmental checklist: ITEM NO. II-1 ,3 & 17 -- A large portion of the subject site is included in the Alquist-Priolo Special Studies Zone as delineated by the California Division of Mines and Geology. The San Jacinto fault has been inferred to extend through the property with fault traces extending diagonally through the property from the south and running northwesterly to the Santa Ana River. Initial findings resulting from a Preliminary Geologic and Seismic investiga- tion undertaken on the subject property confirmed the existence of fault zones as well as a recommendation that a final geotechnical investi- gation be conducted as to subsurface soils conditions, seismic para- v meters affecting the property, groundwater conditions and potential liquifaction hazards. The study further notes that faulting zones (and areas of potential soil instability) would restrict use for human occupancy. ITEM NO. 11-2, 6 & 13 The project site is currently bounded by existing and/or proposed major arterials as well as the Southern Pacific Railroad subjecting portions of the site to high noise levels as well as potentially poor air quality conditions. In addition, the proposal could generate significant on- site traffic thereby potentially acting to exacerbate detrimental noise and air quality conditions as well as traffic hazards. Also, the westerly portions of the site may be within the 65-70 CNEL noise contour of Norton Air Force Base. ITEM NO. I1-8 The project area has been utilized for agricultural uses as well as several earthen reservoirs and four water wells currently occupy the site. In addition, a number of lines traverse the site including irrigation lines, a sewer truck line, and a 42-inch municipal water line. The site is currently designated for General Industrial uses according to the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan. The proposed land uses would therefore substantially alter the existing as well as currently planned land use of the area. ITEM NO. 1I-14 & 16 The proposed project could alter existing and anticipated capitol improve- ment outlay and service requirements for the area especially in light of the residential uses which are proposed to be established on the site. Such could significantly impact such service requirements as fire and police protection, educational and recreational needs as well X111 . EXHIBIT B: DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Continued) ITE14 NO. II-14 & 16 (Continued)_ -- other public facilities and services given 840+ proposed dwelling units with an average occupancy rate of 2.5 persons per dwelling unit generating potentially a population of about 2,100 persons. Finally, infrastructure needs may be altered and/or impacted as a result of the proposed project including, but not limited to, energy requirements, water and waste treatment, storm water drainage, and the like. ITEM NO. 22a. The project has the potential of degrading the existing environment (See item No. II-8) ITEM NO. 22b. -- The project has the potential of achieving short-term uses vs. long-term environmental goals in light of the existing land use anticipated for the site and geological and hydrological conditions. ITEM NO. 22c. The project may have cummulatively considerable impacts on public services and utilities, as well as growth-inducing impacts. f ITEM NO. 22d. -- See item No. 11 -1 ,3 & 17 Because of these mandatory findings of significance and the need for further study of such factors as geology, hydrology, transportation and circulation, noise, service requirements , and the like, it is recommended that a full environmental impact analysis be completed.
