LIST OF NOTES:
01) On 10-10-23 PERC staff received notification of a sewer back up located at 19027 Dennis St. Upon investigation and talking with home owners PERC staff advised the home owner to have the lateral professionally cleaned as they were the only property on the sewer line having an issue. PERC staff could not inspect upstream and down stream manholes as there are not manholes on this sewer line. It is PERC’s recommendation that the city invest in a rehabilitation project for the sewer lines in this area by having manholes installed instead of the currant clean-outs. By doing so the sewer lines can be properly cleaned and maintained.
02) On 10-13-23 PERC staff cleaned the lift station wet well with the Vactor. 03) On 10-22-23 PERC staff received notification of a sewer back up located at 11211 La Habra Ave.

Upon inspection PERC staff found sewage coming out of the clean out but up and down stream manholes flowing properly. The caller was advised to get in touch with the property management to have the lateral professionally cleaned.
04) On 10-24-23 PERC staff received a sewer complaint for 11745 Brockman. PERC inspected and cleaned the city sewer.
05) On 10-25-23 PERC staff performed a dye test for 11745 Brockman, and confirmed address is on city sewer.
295
6) On 10-27-23 PERC staff performed another cleaning of the Brockman line and dye tested again 11747 Brockman also confirming connection to city sewer. 7) On 10-31-23 PERC staff responded to a notification of a sewer back up located at Muskrat and Joshua. PERC staff found a blockage located approximately 150 feet west of Raccoon and Air Expressway. The blockage was cleared and the sewer line was fully cleaned the following day during business hours.

* STLC and TCLP extractions require 2 days to complete; therefore, all TATs begin after the extraction is completed (i.e., One-day TAT yields results in 3 days from sample submission).

NOTES:
- MAI assumes that all material present in the provided sampling container is considered part of the sample - MAI does not exclude any material from the sample prior to sample preparation unless requested in writing by the client.

U** = An unpreserved container was received for a method that suggests a preservation in order to extend hold time for analysis. - Organic extracts are held for 40 days before disposal; Inorganic extract are held for 30 days. 332

Analytical test results meet all requirements of the associated regulatory program listed on the Accreditation/Certification Summary Page unless otherwise noted under the individual analysis. Data qualifiers are applied to indicate exceptions. Noncompliant quality control (QC) is further explained in narrative comments.

Matrix QC may not be reported if insufficient sample or site-specific QC samples were not submitted. In these situations, to demonstrate precision and accuracy at a batch level, a LCS/LCSD may be performed, unless otherwise specified in the method.

Surrogate and/or isotope dilution analyte recoveries (if applicable) which are outside of the QC window are confirmed unless attributed to a dilution or otherwise noted in the narrative.

Regulated compliance samples (e.g. SDWA, NPDES) must comply with the associated agency requirements/permits.

Receipt

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: December 13, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessie Flores, City Manager
BY: Todd Litfin, City Attorney
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FIRST AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

WITH POTOMAC PARTNERS DC FOR FEDERAL LOBBYING SERVICES
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that City Council consider and approve the First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Potomac Partners DC for federal lobbying services.

BACKGROUND:

On July 1, 2023, the City and Potomac Partners DC for federal lobbying services. The contract was in the amount of $30,000 and covered four months of services at $7,500 per month. The City has been pleased by the services provided by Potomac Partners and desires to extend the contract for an additional 12 months from November 1, 2023, to October 31, 2024. Specifically, the work will focus on federal issues pertaining to the APUA’s water and sewer facilities and potential funding for improvements thereto. Hence, the APUA is being added as a party to the agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

At $7,500 per month, the maximum additional cost is $90,000. The City and APUA can terminate the agreement at any time upon notice to Potomac Partners and would only be responsible for payments up until the time of termination. Since the proposed work is intended to focus on water and sewer improvements, the funding will come from the APUA unless work is for other specific City issues.

ATTACHMENTS:
1) 2023 Professional Services Agreement with Potomac Partners DC dated July 1, 2023 2) First Amended Professional Services Agreement
374
First Amendment to PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
(Engagement: As-Needed Intergovernmental Consulting Services) (Parties: Potomac Partners DC, City of Adelanto, Adelanto Public Utility Authority) This First Amendment to Professional Services Contract (“Amended Contract”) is dated November 1, 2023, between the City of Adelanto (“CITY”), Potomac Partners DC (“CONSULTANT”), and the Adelanto Public Utility Authority (“APUA”). CITY, CONSULTANT, and AUPA are collectively referred to as the “Parties.” CITY and CONSULTANT previously entered into a Professional Services Contract [Intergovernmental Consulting Services] dated July 1, 2023 (“Contract”). To the extent applicable, the term “CITY” in the Agreement shall include both CITY and APUA. The Parties hereby mutually agree and promise as follows:

I. Section 1.1 of the Contract is amended to read as follows:

TERM: This Agreement shall have a term commencing from November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024 (hereinafter, the “Term”). Nothing in this Section shall operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict the CITY’s or APUA’s ability to terminate this Agreement at any time for convenience or for cause as provided under Article V (Termination) of the Contract.

II. Section 1.4 of the Contract is amended to read as follows:

COMPENSATION: CONSULTANT shall perform the Work in accordance with “Potomac Partners DC-Scope of Work” (hereinafter, the “COMPENSATION RATE”) attached and incorporated hereto as Exhibit “A”. The foregoing notwithstanding, CONSULTANT’S total compensation, for the performance of all Work contemplated under this Agreement, will not exceed the total budgeted sum of One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000) (hereinafter, the “Notto-Exceed Sum”) during the Term of this Agreement which includes an increase of Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000) in this First Amendment, unless such added expenditure is first approved by the City Council for the CITY, and the APUA.

The City of Adelanto
Attn: City Manager

Adelanto, CA 92301
Dear Mr. Flores:

Tight budgets, unforeseen policy dilemmas, and tumultuous politics translate to a precarious time for municipal governments post pandemic. Your mission to deliver a consistent level of services to your constituents often depends on federal financial involvement. To address the myriad of political and policy challenges, sometimes you need a new and innovative approach to your federal legislative advocacy program. Please find attached to this letter information about our firm, the principals that will be involved in this effort, and that innovative approach that we will tailor to your objectives.

Why Potomac Partners DC? Because we get results. At this firm, we believe you always put the client’s needs and desires first, and you add value to every decision the client seeks to make. We have three core approaches:
1) PPDC actively researches the client’s needs and interprets the client’s real concerns.
2) PPDC adds significant value-- on time and within the budget constraints. 3) PPDC delivers on its commitment with verification of service. Count on us for uninterrupted service and information.

We are confident that our boutique firm structure, core values, and strategic approach can provide you a platform to achieve your federal advocacy objectives. With us the City of Adelanto can count on a clear set of goals with the commitment to deliver.

PPDC always verifies and never makes assumptions. Furthermore, we specialize in building a tailored federal legislative strategy to fund with some federal dollars the important infrastructure and other municipal projects such as the improvement of your wastewater infrastructure. We are also experts in the legislative process, and we will use that knowledge and experience to pinpoint the political geometry to impact the policy and funding priorities for Adelanto.

As a boutique firm, you would have all the members of the firm working on your behalf without delegation to junior inexperienced associates that is common in the megalobbying/law firms with large overhead costs. That’s why most clients of these big firms only see or talk to the marquee or “named” partners during the sales pitch—not when you need your issues solved or some timely advice. The bottom line is: We won’t offer you 396
2 cookie-cutter advocacy looking to incrementally address your issue while spreading limited attention across too many clients. We will stay responsive to your issue dynamics, provide the persistent presence you need on Capitol Hill, and stay focused on the desired result without any conflicts of interest. Another PPDC advantage is our bi-partisan relationships with senior congressional members on the committees and Agency officials of importance to your policy and funding priorities.

On behalf of Potomac Partners DC, we would be privileged to represent the City of Adelanto in Washington D.C. We believe PPDC is the best choice to provide you with federal representation to facilitate the successful implementation of your federal policy goals. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.

Sincerely,
Dan Feliz
Potomac Partners DC

3 ABOUT THE FIRM
Potomac Partners DC (PPDC) is a boutique government relations firm located on Capitol Hill blocks from the Capitol complex. That proximity to the federal policy makers is a primary requirement for an effective federal advocate. You simply can’t lobby Congress or the Administration when you don’t live and work here. The principals at PPDC also have the right relationships with the key policy makers and the right business model to suit your city’s federal advocacy needs and the changing political dynamics at the federal level.

From the early beginnings of the firm in 2005, Rick Alcalde, President and founder, set out to provide personalized and strategic consulting services to clients seeking positive policy outcomes and federal funding. Mr. Alcalde was an industry leader in envisioning a new generation of nimble government advocates who understand the changing business of influencing Congress and the federal bureaucracies, and can easily morph into high-level, team-oriented advisors for clients. To that end we developed three core values at the firm:

Service with Verification, Value Added with Solutions for your Real Needs, Persistent and Uninterrupted Communication. A final core value that isn’t just an afterthought is honor and integrity. We walk what we talk, live what we believe, without compromise, whatever the consequence.

While honing these core values over the years, we have developed a particular specialty in representing municipal governments. We believe the City of Adelanto could greatly benefit from our team of specialized political strategists in achieving your desired federal objectives.

Our personal approach sets us apart from other lobbying firms. Our number one goal has always been to care more and work harder for our clients. Consequently, we rarely lose clients and we have developed a unique team atmosphere where each member of the firm who is a dedicated and seasoned professional can be interchangeable and effective on your behalf. We are always reachable, and when clients call, we are on duty day or night.

As a boutique firm, we are selective in our client base, and we limit the number of clients we represent in any state or region to avoid conflicts of interest, and to limit the number of requests we present to legislators and key policy makers to achieve the maximum results.

We focus on doing good work, and we never prioritize growing our business with new clients at our current clients’ expense. To date, this approach has worked for us, and we can point to our success being built on our ability to understand our clients and develop a unique and individualized strategy that considers the current legislative and political environment.

Whether advocating new policy or developing new funding, we will always take your message directly to the policymakers and advance solutions that deliver the desired result.

Furthermore, the proximity of our office to the policymakers is not only convenient for A Personal Approach
398
4 meetings with Members, but also integral to our advocacy approach that is persistent, personal, and hands-on. We regularly host receptions, luncheons, and other political events at our office to enhance our rapport with senior policy makers and their staff, which inures to the benefit of our clients.

We have long served major municipalities and transportation authorities in Southern California like San Bernardino County and Orange County Transportation Authority and others. Our knowledge of Southern California coupled with our relationships in Washington D.C. will help deliver success at the federal level for the City of Adelanto.

Perhaps the most sought-after commodity we provide is our ability to develop tailored legislative strategy and innovative policy proposals that give you the optimal opportunity to shape federal policy and funding opportunities. Consider this, the City of Adelanto is one of thousands of municipal entities competing for the same federal resources. How do you make the case for prioritizing your needs and who in Congress can help set those priorities? The answer to the later question is usually the Chairmen of the key Committees.

To that end, we maintain regular relationships with those key Members of Congress, their congressional staff, and agency officials to help build upon your network of allies to achieve your federal policy objectives. But again, the answer to being competitive with all those other needy cities-- it takes a focused and tailored strategy.

This effective advocacy often requires the combination of proactive approaches to achieve objectives and effective reactions to legislative and administrative proposals. PPDC will work closely with the City of Adelanto to develop the right message and strategic approach to position the effort in a proactive manner to secure the desired results. Additionally, we remain watchful for potentially negative federal proposals. As always, we not only take your message to the policymakers, but we are able to work with coalitions and other industry groups on the effort.

In summary, PPDC seeks to provide personal service, custom strategies, and exceptional results for the City of Adelanto. We will stay responsive to your issue dynamics, provide the persistent presence you need on Capitol Hill, and stay focused on the desired result without being encumbered by conflicts of interest.

Below is additional background information about the principles, and a basic outline of the ways we believe we can impact for the city and the region as well as a few details on the scope of work that we would use to get started and further develop an innovative and tailored legislative advocacy plan.

A Tailored Legislative Strategy
399
5 PPDC TEAM
Each of our partners will bring an important skill set and close relationships with elected and appointed officials that will help you implement an effective legislative strategy and successfully communicate your objective to federal leaders in Washington, D.C.

Rick Alcalde – President
Mr. Alcalde is the founder and President of Potomac Partners DC. Mr. Alcalde worked at several prestigious firms, including Alcalde and Fay, and the highly respected Federalist Group. In order to provide clients a more personalized level of service, in contrast to what is typically offered at larger firms, Mr. Alcalde founded Potomac Partners DC, where he brought together a small group of senior legislative and government affairs professionals with access to several high-profile strategic partners. Mr. Alcalde himself has over 30 years of experience advocating on behalf of municipal government entities before Congress and the Administration. Mr. Alcalde has distinguished himself with lawmakers on Capitol Hill and with numerous clients for his exceptional ability to develop winning legislative strategies and accomplish unusual funding and policy objectives in Congress.

Mr. Alcalde is a graduate of Florida State University. He earned his J.D. from the South Texas College of Law and is admitted to the District of Columbia Bar and the Pennsylvania Bar.

Dan Feliz – Managing Partner
Mr. Feliz is an experienced legislative and administrative strategist. Over the last decade with PPDC, he has served numerous private and municipal clients on issues of transportation, energy, defense, and appropriations issues. He has helped clients like the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino County envision and implement a new program to solve the region growing homelessness crisis and ensure no child is left unsheltered. He has worked on solving difficult policy dilemmas like outdated bus axel weight requirements that can hinder a city’s ability to provide bus service or ensure the approval of federal right of way rights for utilities to service a local development-- and many issues over the years. But regardless of the issue, small or big, he looks to provide solutions to the real underlying need.

Mr. Feliz is a Naval Academy graduate, and an alumni of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He is also a nuclear engineer who served aboard nuclear ballistic missile submarines. Other past military assignments include serving at the Naval Research Laboratory, teaching at the United States Naval Academy, and working with the Navy’s Legislative Affairs Office. During his time in the Navy he was often tasked with synthesizing complex issues into executive summaries for Members of Congress to help make the case for Navy programs at risk for defense cuts. Because of his military service, Mr. Feliz remains a trusted advisor to several Members of Congress on defense issues and he is the Board Chairman of the Association of the US Navy. 400
6 Adam B. Cross
Adam Cross is a seasoned advocate and policy expert that has built close relationships with senior staff and Members on the House Transportation and Infrastructure, Foreign Affairs, Appropriations, Ways and Means, and Homeland Security Committees as well as the Senate Commerce, Banking, EPW Committees, House Armed Services, and Foreign Affairs Committees. Adam Cross is also highly experienced in emerging transportation policy issues, grant funding processes and opportunities, and strategic policy planning. Mr.

Cross has developed significant contacts in the White House and the Departments of Transportation, Justice, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Agriculture, and Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Cross is also an expert at the annual appropriations process and is responsible for helping organize, prepare, and submit Community Project Funding/Congressional Directed Spending request for clients. Furthermore, he is also an expert at identifying federal funding opportunities for clients. He has used his knowledge and experience in the federal funding realm to help secure hundreds of millions of dollars for clients in the last five years through the grant process, the annual appropriations process including $100 million in the last two years alone through the new and evolving Congressional “earmarking” process.

Anthony Sola
Anthony Sola is a graduate from the University of Miami with a B.A. in Public Relations.

He was born and raised in Panama City, Panama. He began his career in the Administration as a communications specialist for the Organization of American States (OAS) serving directly under the Secretary General. After a successful tour at OAS, he worked in politics as a field organizer in Florida for a Presidential campaign. After serving in government and politics, he added private sector experience working as an analyst for a healthcare company that provided covid testing and medical triage support during the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2021 Mr. Sola started with PPDC as a legislative assistant and is responsible for policy and legislative analysis. During this time, he has helped refine our firm methods for identifying and tracking new legislation, federal notices, amendments, and more to help our clients better understand the legislative landscape and the often-overlooked nuances of federal legislative activity.

7 OUR APPROACH TO YOUR ADVOCACY
The issue areas that we would propose to engage for the city cover a range of sectors, including transportation, water infrastructure, housing, energy, and defense infrastructure funding. We will establish strategic objectives and leverage existing relationships with federal policymakers to successfully advocate for the City of Adelanto’s federal policy goals. We will provide the strategic roadmap for Congress and work collaboratively with you and other advocates to develop the appropriate message that translates to the political inertia necessary for success that is well defined.

A primary challenge for 2023-24 is working around what may be a legislatively dysfunctional year based on the partisan politics of the upcoming 2024 elections. We already saw the height of this legislative paralysis in 2020 when Congress delayed making major funding and policy decisions eventually leading to the last omnibus spending bill that did not address the debt ceiling. Other contentious issues such spending reductions and work requirements, and the need to address an increase in the debt ceiling will intensify the partisanship and impacted the progress of passing major legislation as well as the annual spending bills.

We can show you how to advance your federal advocacy program with an innovative strategy, and some key milestones over the next couple of months. As far as a quick summary of that strategy, the solution in this political environment is developing the right message and building the right relationships with key policy makers. We will help you stay focused on a consistent message and develop strategic support for responsible government spending that helps provide our Congressional champions with the information they need to complete major infrastructure legislation such as the Water Resources Development Act, National Defense Authorization, and of course the appropriations bills. A good example of this was the $34M list of earmarks we currently have for San Bernardino County.

Advocates with Strategic Relationships
The Challenge
402
8 As mentioned above, we see the opportunity for Adelanto in three main areas:

Transportation/Infrastructure, Defense (Plume Clean-up to be used as catalyst for wastewater plant improvement), and Natural Resources. Our decades of experience and expertise with public sector clients, our first-class personal service, and our strong bipartisan working relationships with leaders of the key congressional committees underscore our ability to deliver for the city. Our entire team is familiar with the Inland Empire and the High Desert, and we are ready to help refine and refocus the approach on these three issue areas.

Transportation/Infrastructure: We will help you target new funding opportunities for infrastructure in the city. Our strength is working with the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the House Transportation & Infrastructure, Senate Environment and Public Works, Banking Housing and Urban Affairs, and Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee to shape and influence the primary legislative vehicles that fund transportation and water infrastructure. It is important to note that President Biden and his Federal Departments have prioritized equity, inclusion, and climate change. These priorities can often disadvantage rural areas and highway projects in the discretionary grant process. As funding becomes available through grants, formula funding, and Congressional Directed Spending/Community Project Funding (which are basically earmarked grants), we will advise the city on how equity, inclusion, and climate change considerations will affect available grant funding opportunities and how to strengthen our requests especially with Republican congressional offices that would seek to counterbalance the Department of Transportation’s funding recommendations. We will also help you better target key transportation infrastructure funding by highlighting the additional benefits that funding has for the five military installations and our national security.

Our firm has represented many clients in the transportation sector, including seaports, airports, transportation authorities, passenger rail, builders, and other private entities seeking to invest in large-scale infrastructure projects. We have built a strong network of relationships among the staff and Members of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee and the various Senate Committees mentioned above. We have helped clients secure Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loans through the Build America Bureau, Capital Investment Grants (CIG) for streetcar projects and light rail connectors, and congressional appropriations for highway expansions and express lanes despite some of the challenging dynamics at U.S. Department of Transportation, which does not currently prefer to advance major highway projects.

To re-emphasize, what makes us potent in the transportation policy arena are the numerous long-standing relationships we have with key Congressional transportation leaders that serve as Chairmen and Ranking Members of the appropriations and authorizing committees with jurisdiction over federal funding and transportation policy. We have been working with Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) and his staff for over a decade and regularly provide policy advice during the drafting stages of transportation legislation.

The Opportunity
403
9 Once you have identified a specific funding need, we will quickly engage with the following actions:
• PPDC will meet with officials and staff at the federal agencies to identify upcoming opportunities for the City of Adelanto.
• PPDC will work with your congressional delegation to build congressional support for grant applications through support letters and congressional follow-up. • PPDC will monitor the appropriations process for new programs that could be eligible for Community Project Funding/Congressional Directed Spending accounts and immediately report any changes to the City. We will also identify and advocate as need for other similar earmark requests in other authorizing legislation such as the Water Resources Development Act.
• PPDC will continue to monitor new legislation, amendments, rules, or policies that would help or hinder your grant applications and communicate these developments to you in our regular updates and reports.

Defense: Defense policy is another core practice area for Potomac Partners. Dan Feliz is a Navy veteran and is active in defense policy as the Board Chairman of the Association of the United States Navy. Adam Cross worked in the office of Congressman Valadao (RCA), now a senior member of the Military Construction, Veteran Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations subcommittee. Rick Alcalde has a strong relationship with Rep.

Ken Calvert (R-CA), Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), and Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL). Many of Senator Wicker’s senior staff have been longtime colleagues who we have closely worked with during their careers on and off the Hill. Both Sen Wicker and Rep. Rogers will be collaborating this session on the next National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets the annual budget and policies for the Department of Defense. • We will help the city develop a strategy to attract as much defense appropriations funding for potential improvements to/relocation of the city’s wastewater plant to prevent Plume buildup underneath GAFB. We will work directly with the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Defense Appropriations subcommittee and the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on this issue.

Natural Resources and Native American Affairs: Our relationships with the Congressional leaders and the House Natural Resources and Senate Energy and Natural Resource provide enhanced opportunities to help the region secure wildfire and emergency management infrastructure funding. Additionally, our team has been involved in developing air & water quality and flood control policy and legislation. We have facilitated dozens of meetings between locally elected officials and policymakers on this issue at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Agriculture, EPA, and U.S. Forest Service. Part of our approach to your funding needs will be leveraging our experience and relationships with key players to identify new federal funding at a variety of agencies with innovative partnerships.
• During the drafting of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), we worked closely with House and Senate leaders such as Congressman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) 404
10 to ensure the inclusion of wildfire funding and streamlined policies that address wildfire response, suppression, and recovery were included in the final package.

Another specific provision included $490M for hazardous wildland fuels reduction in western states. We have worked on every issue related to wildland fire management, especially relating to fires on federal lands that threaten public infrastructure and private property. We believe that Congress will continue to recognize the need to increase healthy forest management to prevent wildfires.

Wildfires continue to be one of the most significant contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (a known emphasis for the Biden Administration). We also believe that the House Republicans will pursue legislation that links healthy forest management practices and water conservation efforts.
• As it relates to funding success for flood protection and water management projects in both the authorizing and appropriations legislation, we advocated for the Santa Ana River Mainstem project in California, ultimately securing a total of $275 million for the project over three years. To achieve this goal, we delivered exceptional access through in-person meetings with the US Army Corps of Engineers headquarters, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and top policymakers working on water infrastructure issues.

Frequent updates and focused analysis on Federal legislation, funding, and regulations: To ensure that you remain aware of legislative activity for the City, we will evaluate and provide focused reports on pending legislation, proposed regulations, and emerging issues that are relevant to your legislative platform. Part of our approach will be a tailored strategy memo that details next steps, highlights relevant committees and federal officials that would be the most important influencers on the issue, and provides a recommendation on timing for meeting with those officials.

We will also work with the City to identify priority funding needs and projects that could be eligible for Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS/CPF). In the last two years, we have secured CDS/CPF funding in nearly every account the House and Senate offers. Once we help identify eligible projects in the City, we will work with the Congressional delegation and Appropriators to ensure that our request meets all process requirements for successful inclusion. A sample list of other funding line items we helped facilitate for clients are as follows:
• $10,000,000 – San Bernardino County Transportation Authority: Replacement of Central Avenue Bridge.
• $10,000,000 – San Bernardino County Transportation Authority: Zero-Emission Passenger Rail vehicle.
• $5,000,000 – San Bernardino County: Reduce congestion and expand regional connectivity, Pine Ave.
• $1,000,000 – San Bernardino County: Purchase & install Electric Vehicle charging stations at Chino Airport.
• $1,000,000 – San Bernardino County International Airport runway repairs. • $1,000,000 – San Bernardino County: traffic flow technology improvements. 405
11 • $1,000,000 – San Bernardino County: US Army Corps of Engineers, Water Conservation.
• $565,000 – San Bernardino County: City of Chino fire risk mitigation and fuel reduction.
• $950,000 – San Bernardino County: City of Rialto Emergency Operations Center. • $4,400,000 – Metrolink: Parking Structure Project and new Metrolink commuter train station.
• $3,000,000 – Metrolink: Add a second train platform \ and lengthen the existing train platform.
• $1,585,000 – National 9/11 Memorial and Museum: Capital project and infrastructure funding.
• $750,000 – Orange County Transportation Authority: High-capacity transit study. • $328,886 – Housing Authority of Salt Lake City: Human Rights Housing Project. • $3,000,000 – Housing Authority of County of San Bernardino: Community Resource Center.
• $350,000 – Town of Longboat Key, FL: Flood Mitigation and Habitat protection. 406

SUCCESSOR AGENCY BOARD REPORT
A D E L A N T O G O V E R N M E N T A L C E N T E R | 1 1 6 0 0 A I R E X P R E S S W A Y | A D E L A N T O , C A L I F O R N I A 9 2 3 0 1
DATE: December 13, 2023
TO: Honorable Chairman and Board Members
FROM: Jesse Flores, Executive Director
BY: Finance
SUBJECT: RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE (“ROPS”) 24-25 FOR JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Successor Agency Board approve Resolution 24-01, approving and adopting the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for the period of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 (ROPS 24-25).

BACKGROUND:

California Health & Safety Code (HSC) section 34177 requires the San Bernardino Countywide Oversight Board (CWOB) to approve the 2024-25 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) and administrative budget. The ROPS is an annual form and must be submitted to the Department of Finance (DOF) and the County Auditor-Controller by February 1 of each year. Pursuant to HSC section 34179(h)(1)(B), the administrative budget is not required to be sent to DOF.

DOF will have until April 15 to review the 2024-25 ROPS and provide the successor agency a compliance determination. If the successor agency disagrees with the DOF determination, a “meet and confer” is allowed to facilitate a discussion between the successor agency and DOF. In the event of a meet and confer process, DOF must make a final compliance determination on or before May 15 or 15 days prior to the June 1 Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) distribution.

The recommended action will further the Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Adelanto’s (Successor Agency) dissolution as an annual ROPS is required by DOF as part of the winddown of the Successor Agency. There is a decrease of $845,887 requested in the non-administrative cost allowance amount required from the RPTTF from the last annual ROPS approved, resulting primarily from the payoff of the bonds listed in ROPS Detail Item 1 during the ROPS 23-24 period. Changes to the amounts requested for remaining debt service for the Successor Agency’s bonds reflect amounts required to pay debt service pursuant to the amortization schedule for each of the bonds.

The ROPS Detail includes Item 31, Excess Bond Proceeds. The Successor Agency has been holding bond proceeds from the Adelanto Improvement Agency 2007 Tax Allocation Bonds (2007 Bonds) since its formation. The Successor Agency’s 2013 Other Funds Due Diligence review reported that in 2013, the 410
Successor Agency had unspent bond proceeds of $3,056,314 transferred from the 2007 Tax Allocation Bond cash with fiscal agent to cash in bank in Fund 555, RDA Capital Project Funds, in FYE 07-08. The Successor Agency has determined the amount of unspent bond proceeds currently held by the Successor Agency, including interest on the original proceeds from principal received, is $3,139,426.

The Successor Agency received a Finding of Completion on October 3, 2013. As a result, pursuant to HSC section 34191.4(c)(1)(A), bond proceeds derived from bonds issued on or before December 31, 2010, may be expended in a manner consistent with the original bond covenants. The Successor Agency has submitted a separate agenda item request6ing approval to enter into a Bond Proceeds Expenditure Agreement with the City of Adelanto for the expenditure of the excess bond proceeds. Expenditure of the full amount of Excess Bond Proceeds (principal and interest) is requested to be transferred to the City during the ROPS 24-25A period on the ROPS Detail, Item 31.

The Successor Agency has decreased its request for Administrative Costs from RPTTF from $250,000 in the ROPS 23-24 period to $149,445, a decrease of $100,555 or approximately 40%. The decrease results primarily from the engagement by the Successor Agency of outside accountants, counsel and other consultants in an effort to address the final matters needed to prepare a Last & Final ROPS. The engagement of such consultants is anticipated to reduce the amount of time spent by Successor Agency and City staff on Successor Agency matters. Additionally, the Successor Agency has transferred or is in the process of obtaining approval to transfer its remaining real property in accordance with the Dissolution Law, and the majority of the costs of doing so will be incurred prior to the ROPS 24-25 period.

FISCAL IMPACT:

DATE: December 13, 2023
TO: Honorable Chairman and Board Members
FROM: Jesse Flores, Executive Director
BY: Finance
SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET FOR JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2025
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the Successor Agency Board approve Resolution 24-02, approving the Adelanto Successor Agency Administrative Budget for the fiscal year from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, pursuant to the Health and Safety Code Section 34177(j) and taking certain other related actions.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Part 1.85 of Division 24 of the California Health and Safety Code (the “Redevelopment Dissolution Law”), the Adelanto Successor Agency (Successor Agency) must prepare a proposed Administrative Budget and a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for each fiscal year, both of which must be submitted to the Oversight Board for approval. Each proposed Administrative Budget must include all of the following: (1) estimated amounts for Successor Agency administrative costs for the applicable fiscal year; (2) proposed sources of payment for the administrative costs; and (3) proposals for arrangements for administrative and operation services provided by the City or other entity.

The Administrative Budget and ROPS process was formerly completed on a semiannual basis. Under the terms of Senate Bill 107, signed by the Governor on September 22, 2015, the semi-annual process was changed to an annual process.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the Redevelopment Dissolution Law, an “Administrative Cost Allowance” is paid to the Successor Agency from property tax revenues allocated by the County Auditor- Controller. The Administrative Cost Allowance is defined as an amount, subject to the approval of the Oversight Board, which is up to 3% of the property tax allocated for enforceable obligations from the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund by the County Auditor-Controller. The amount shall not be less than $250,000 for any fiscal year unless the Oversight Board reduces this amount. The City has requested $149,445 Administrative Cost Allowance which is scheduled to be received by the Successor Agency in two installments on June 1, 419
2024 for the first half of FY 2024-25, and January 2, 2025 for the second half of FY 2024-25. While not anticipated, the Administrative Cost Allowance is subject to reduction if there are insufficient funds to pay the enforceable obligations as listed on the ROPS 24-25.

WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 34171 provides for an Administrative Budget for administrative costs of the Successor Agency to comply with the requirements of Section 34177; and
WHEREAS, Health and Safety Code Section 34177 requires Oversight Board approval for the Successor Agency administrative Cost Budget for each twelve-month fiscal period.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE

FORMER ADELANTO REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Board of the Successor Agency for the Adelanto Improvement Agency approves and adopts the Successor Agency Administrative Budget for July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025, the form attached as Exhibit A.

I. The Project requires the preparation of an EIR or MND prior to approval; II. The Project would be approved in violation of CEQA (EIR or MND must be prepared); and III. The Project violates the State Planning and Zoning Law as well as the City’s General Plan In response to the Appellant’s contentions, the Chambers Group, the Environmental Consultant that prepared the CE CEQA document, responded to the Appeal claims in a memorandum, Attached as Exhibit E, which is summarized as follows:

I. A Categorical Exemption was determined to be the appropriate environmental document, rather than an EIR or an MND because following the preparation of an Initial Study, the City, as Lead Agency determined that in light of the whole record, the proposed project would not result in significant impacts to the environment pursuant to CEQA Class 32 Infill Exemption (14 CCR §15332; and
II. The project does not violate State Planning and Zoning Laws or the City’s General Plan as it does not directly conflict with the City’s General Plan, nor does it interfere or frustrate the General Plan’s policies or objectives as evidenced by the findings and whole of the record. lll. Existing on the site is a vacant manufactured commercial building, an iron fence, and two concrete slabs, including a designated parking area. Beginning at the eastern entrance gate, and surrounding the parking slab, is a slightly dispersed layering of 1-4-inch sized rip rap gravel.

There are also multiple imported pine trees separating the building and parking slab. Located to the west of the building are two Conex boxes. The site contains minimal vegetation.

Subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing and the filing of the appeal, the applicant’s representative, working with the owner, was able to find photographs of buildings, landscaping and paving that was constructed on the site previously which are attached as Exhibit F. Remnants of this development still exist on the site. 426

Applicability of Exempt Status:

The following are findings to support a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (In-Fill Development Project). The Project would be consistent with this exemption and as further described below, no exceptions to this exemption would apply.
15332. In-Fill Development Projects
Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described in this section.
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. (b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. (d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

The Project consists of the construction and operation of a warehouse facility located in the Light Manufacturing (LM) zone and land use of the City. The Project would be consistent with the permitted uses as part of the zoning regulations. The Project would require a Location and Development Permit (LDP). An Initial Study was prepared to evaluate all potential impacts associated with implementation of the Proposed Project and concluded that the Project would have no impact, or impacts would be less than significant for all resource areas. The Initial Study is included below for reference. An analysis based on consistency with the conditions listed as part of the Class 32 exemptions is provided below:
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

The Project will be located in the LM zone and land use of the City. LM zones allows for limited manufacturing and warehousing. The Project will construct and operate a distribution facility which will be consistent with the permitted uses of the LM zone. Furthermore, existing LM uses are directly east of the Project site in an area of the City known as ‘Light Manufacturing District East’. Therefore, the Project will be consistent with applicable general plan and zoning designations. (b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.

The Project site is approximately a 3.17-acre parcel located within the City limits with urban uses surrounding the site. Immediately north of the site is a single-story self storage facility and immediately south of the site is a single-story self storage facility. US-395 Highway is located directly west. The Project would be in between these existing self-storage facilities. (c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.

A Biological Resources Reconnaissance Assessment was prepared for the Project. The results of the assessment show that the Project site does not contain any valuable habitats for endangered, rare, or threatened species. There were no special status species observed during the reconnaissance-level survey and are considered absent due to the lack of suitable habitat within the survey area which consists of a 491
five-mile radius from the Project site. As concluded in the Initial Study below, the Project site does not have value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. (d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

An Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impact Analysis, and VMT Analysis, were prepared for the Project. Additionally, impacts to noise and water quality were evaluated in the Initial Study. As concluded in the Initial Study below, the Project would not have a significant impact on traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The Project will connect to existing utility connections along Adelanto Road for water, wastewater, electric power, and natural gas. Development of the warehouse facility would require installation of telecommunication services, including wireless internet service and phone service. This can be accomplished through connection to existing services that are available to the developer at the Project site. As concluded in the Initial Study below, the Project would not have a significant impact on any utilities or public services.
15300.2. Exceptions
(a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located —a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies.

The Project is not exempt under Class 3, 4, 5, 6, or 11. The Project is conversion of a vacant lot to a warehouse facility. The proposed Project is not located in an area that would impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, or officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. (b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant.

The Project includes construction of a warehouse facility. The Project would not contribute to a significant cumulative impact because the Project would be consistent with the City’s zoning regulations and General Plan. The Project would be required to comply with all applicable City ordinances, regulations, and permitting conditions. Furthermore, since the Project would not contribute to any individual significant impacts, a cumulatively considerable impact would not occur.
(c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.

The Project will construct a warehouse facility on a parcel zoned for LM purposes. The construction and operation of the Project would not create a significant effect due to an unusual 492
circumstance since the Project would be a permitted use and would be consistent with the proposed land use and zoning surrounding the Project site. The Project site is not located on a property with unique characteristics that could result in a significant impact to the environment based on the discussions above and below related to air quality, threatened or endangered species, historical resources, hazardous wastes, traffic, and availability of utilities and public services.
(d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified EIR.

The Project site does not contain any scenic vistas or scenic features and is not located along a state scenic highway. The proposed Project is in a relatively urbanized area with little development in the immediate vicinity of the Project beyond existing self storage facilities to the north and south of the Project.
(e) Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.

The Project will not be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites that are currently under remediation. According to the California State’s GeoTracker and Envirostor website (consistent with Government Code Section 65962.5), which provides information regarding Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST), there are no active LUST sites located within the Project site, or within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. (f) Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

A Cultural Resource Survey and Report was prepared for the Project. The assessment included a cultural resources records search, literature review and research, and field survey of the Project site. Results from the survey and records search indicated that no previously recorded historic cultural resources have been documented within the proposed Project site. During the pedestrian survey, no previously undiscovered resources were discovered. As concluded in the Initial Study below, implementation of the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significant of a historical resource.

7 1.8 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The City of Adelanto is located in the High Desert region of San Bernardino County, just north of the San Gabriel Mountains. The proposed Project involves grading the vacant site and construction and operation of a single-story, 49,798-square-foot (sq. ft.) warehouse distribution facility (proposed Project). The facility would have 27 loading docks; three at level height and 24 at dock height. The proposed Project would also contain offices, four restrooms, two shower rooms, a break room, a guard house, and a trash enclosure. The Project site would contain 43 parking spaces, including two Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant parking spaces. The majority of the parking and facility would be contained behind a security gate that would be operated by the staff in the guard house. An underground detention system would be used in the drive aisle to help with offsite flows. The overall site plan is shown in Figure 3 and the exterior building elevations are shown in Figure 4.

The existing mobile building and other various equipment would be removed from the site. The Project is an allowed use under the existing LM zoning, as shown in Figure 5.

1.8.1 Building Characteristics
The proposed building would be prefabricated before arriving to the site, utilize approximately 37.6 percent of the site, and occupy approximately 49,798 square feet with a floor to area ratio of 0.37. The Project would have a maximum elevation of 38 feet 4 inches.

1.8.2 Landscaping
Landscaping would be consistent with desert type species and would be low water requirement with minimal irrigation. Landscaping would surround the site and occupy approximately 10.85% of the parcel.

1.8.3 Parking, Circulation and Site Access
Regional access to the Project site is provided by the US‐395 Highway at the Project site and Holly Road approximately 0.4 miles south of the Project site. The north‐south roadway of Adelanto Road and the east‐west roadway of Holly Road provide local circulation. The existing driveway off of Adelanto Road would be utilized as the main entrance for the Project. A minimum driveway width of 50 feet would be provided for throughout the Project site, and a turnaround would be located at the back of the building.

The proposed Project would provide a total of 43 parking spaces, including two accessible spaces.

1.8.4 Utilities
Water and sewer service would be provided to the Project site by Adelanto Water District (AWD).

Electricity would be provided by Southern California Edison and gas would be provided by Southwest Gas Company. Utilities would tie into nearby connections along Adelanto Road. Water would be needed for the break room, restrooms, shower rooms, and landscaping.

1.8.5 Construction
Project construction is expected to begin in January 2023 and is assumed to last 6 months. Project construction would include site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural 500
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
8 coating phases. Expected equipment would include excavators, backhoes, cranes, forklift, and bobcat. The Project would require 1,1,90 cubic yards of cut and 4,850 cubic yards of fill, resulting in an import total of 3,660 cubic yards. The final grading quantities will be confirmed during plan check.

Water during construction would be used for dust suppression and would be brought to the site with a water truck. Up to 30 construction workers per day would be onsite during the construction phase and it is anticipated that they come from the local work force. Construction activities would occur from 7:00 a.m. to dusk, in compliance with the City Municipal Code.

1.8.6 Operation
The facility would likely be staffed 14 hours a day (Monday through Friday) from approximately 7:00 A.M. until 9:00 PM, and would be operated with approximately 20 employees including those in the guard shack provided onsite. LED lighting would be provided at night for security purposes and would comply with the City lighting requirements. Approximately 15 truck trips would be completed per working day.

The site would allow for delivery and export of auto parts, and electrical and fork-lift parts. No cooling or cold storage would be required.

1.9 SURROUNDING LAND USES AND SETTING
Surrounding the Project site are the following uses and designations:

North: Mixed Use land use and zoning designation. Immediately north of the site is a single-story self storage facility followed by vacant land and various commercial uses.

South: Mixed Use land use and zoning designation. Immediately south of the site is a single-story self storage facility followed by vacant land.

14 SECTION 2.0– EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including offsite as well as onsite, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.

3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if substantial evidence exists that an effect may be significant. If one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries are marked when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4. “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from earlier analyses may be cross-referenced).

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).

In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a. Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 507

(a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? (b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
(c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those
that are experienced from publicly accessible
vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and
other regulations governing scenic quality?
(d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?

3.1.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less than Significant Impact. Adverse impacts to scenic vistas can occur in one of two ways. First, an area itself may contain existing scenic vistas that would be altered by new development. A review of the Project area determined that there are no scenic vistas located internally within the area proposed for the development of the Project. The Project site is located in an area that is sparsely developed, with existing warehouses to the north and south, the US-395 to the west of the site, and no other surrounding development in the immediate vicinity of the Project. The nearest residences are more than a half mile south of the Project site. Therefore, the development of the Project is not expected to impact any important scenic vistas within the Project area.

A scenic vista impact can also occur when a scenic vista can be viewed from the Project area or immediate vicinity and a proposed development may interfere with the view to a scenic vista. The City of Adelanto is located in the High Desert, north of the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains and east of the Shadow Mountains. The Adelanto North 2035 Comprehensively Sustainable Plan states the following in regard to scenic corridors and viewsheds:

Scenic Corridors and Viewsheds. The Adelanto North 2035 Planning Area is comprised of a vast amount of vacant/open space land that has scenic value. These resources include the beauty of the desert landscape and the views of the Shadow Mountains along the western boundary of the Planning Area. Sensitive design and placement of new development will ensure that these corridors and viewsheds remain as an important aesthetic resource for future residents of the City as well as travelers passing through.
509

17 The proposed Project would construct a pre-fabricated building that would have a maximum height of 38 feet and 4 inches; similar to the developments directly north and south of the Project site. While development of the site may limit views in the area immediately surrounding the site, the existing surrounding development and proposed height of the building would limit any potential impacts.

Additionally, given the Project’s location—more than 16 miles southeast of the Shadow Mountains, and more than 15 miles north of the San Gabriel Mountains—views to the mountains from the Project area are limited. Therefore, development of the proposed Project would have a less than significant impact on a scenic vista.
b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. No rock outcroppings, or other scenic features existing on site. According to Caltrans, the proposed Project is not located within a state scenic highway and the City of Adelanto does not identify any locally important scenic roadways (Caltrans 2022). Therefore, the proposed Project will not affect any scenic resources within a state scenic highway corridor. Additionally, based on the site condition and immediate surroundings, the Project site itself does not contain any significant scenic resources, and therefore no impact would occur.
c) Would the project, in non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project is in a relatively urbanized area with little development in the immediate vicinity of the Project beyond existing self storage facilitiesto the north and south of the Project. As previously mentioned, the proposed Project would construct a prefabricated building that would have a maximum height of 38 feet and 4 inches; similar to the developments directly north and south of the Project site. However, the Project site is located more than 16 miles southeast of the Shadow Mountains, and more than 15 miles north of the San Gabriel Mountains, and as such, public views to these vistas in the area surrounding the Project, are limited.

While the visual characteristics of the existing uses would change, it would be largely similar to existing and surrounding uses. Therefore, the Project would not result in the loss of distinct or valuable visual characteristics of the site and surroundings. The Project would result in a less-than significant impact d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact. Implementation of the proposed Project will require LED lighting for security purposes which will create new sources of light during the operational phases of the Project.

However, the proposed Project would be located between two similar uses buildings and the freeway, both of which contain existing sources of lighting and glare. Furthermore, the new lighting would be consistent with the lighting policies of the City’s zoning code standards by directing all lighting downwards. With compliance with the City’s code, potential light and glare will be controlled to a less than significant impact level.

18 3.2 AGRICULTURE & FORESTRY RESOURCES

2. AGRICULTURE & FOREST RESOURCES.
(In determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,
lead agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997) prepared by the California
Department of Conservation as an optional model
to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and
farmland. In determining whether impacts to
forest resources, including timberland, are
significant environmental effects, lead agencies
may refer to information compiled by the
California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest
land, including the Forest and Range Assessment
Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project;
and forest carbon measurement methodology
provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the
California Air Resources Board. Would the project:

(a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as
shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the
Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the
California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural
use?
(b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?
(c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code
section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public
Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by Government
Code section 51104(g))?
(d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of
forest land to non-forest use?
(e) Involve other changes in the existing environment
which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or
the conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

3.2.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. The City of Adelanto does not contain a significant amount of land designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The Project site is classified as urban and built up land (DOC 2022a). This designation is not related to Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Furthermore, the Project site is not currently used for agricultural purposes. Construction and operation of the proposed warehouse facility, will be 511

19 confined to the Project site, and would not convert farmland of any importance to non-agricultural use. No impacts would occur.
b) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The Project site is currently zoned LM and will not involve agricultural uses. While the DOC no longer hosts Williamson Act enrollment maps and/or data ‘due to the lack of up to date city and county reported enrollment data’ (DOC 2022b), the City has indicated that no Williamson Act contracts located within the City. Therefore, no potential exists for a conflict between the proposed Project and agricultural zoning or Williamson Act contracts. No impacts would occur. c) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
d) Would the project result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. As previously mentioned, the Project site is currently zoned LM, which does not contain forestry uses. The Project site is not located within forest land, timberland or timberland zoned for Timberland Production and does not contain any commercial trees. Therefore, the proposed Project will not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production or convert any forest land to a non-forest use and no impacts would occur.
e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or the conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
No Impact. Implementation of the proposed Project will not involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of valuable farmland to non-agricultural use or forest to non-forest uses. No forest or agricultural resources or uses occur within the general vicinity of the proposed Project site, and as such no agricultural uses would be impacted by the development or operation of the Project. Therefore, no impacts to agricultural, forest or timberland resources will result from Project implementation.

3.3.1 Environmental Setting
An Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Analysis was prepared for the proposed Project and is included in Appendix A. The results of the analysis are summarized below. The Project site is located within the San Bernardino County portion of the Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB), which is an assemblage of mountain ranges interspersed with long broad valleys that often contain dry lakes. The Project site is located within the Victor Valley portion of the Mojave Desert. Hot summers, mild winters, infrequent rainfall, moderate afternoon breezes and generally fair weather characterize the climate of the Victor Valley, which is an interior sub‐climate of Southern California’s Mediterranean climate.

Air Quality Standards
Air pollutants are generally classified as either criteria pollutants or non-criteria pollutants. Federal ambient air quality standards have been established for criteria pollutants, whereas no ambient standards have been established for non-criteria pollutants. For some criteria pollutants, separate standards have been set for different periods. Most standards have been set to protect public health. For some pollutants, standards have been based on other values (such as protection of crops, protection of materials, or avoidance of nuisance conditions).

The criteria pollutants consist of the following: ozone (O3), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur oxides (SOx), lead (Pb), and particulate matter (PM). The ozone precursors consist of NOx and VOC.

These pollutants can harm your health and the environment, and cause property damage. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) calls these pollutants “criteria” air pollutants because it regulates them by developing human health-based and/or environmentally based criteria for setting permissible levels. Descriptions of each criteria pollutant can be found in Section 2.1 of the Air Quality Technical Report (Appendix A).

As part of its enforcement responsibilities, the USEPA requires each state with federal nonattainment areas to prepare and submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) that demonstrates the means to attain the national standards. The SIP must integrate federal, state, and local components and regulations to identify specific measures to reduce pollution, using a combination of performance standards and marketbased programs within the timeframe identified in the SIP. The CARB defines attainment as the category given to an area with no violations in the past three years.

As indicated below in Table 3.3-1, the Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB) has been designated by the USEPA for the national standards as a non-attainment area for ozone and PM10. Currently, the MDAB is in attainment with the national ambient air quality standards for PM2.5, CO, SO2, and NO2.

Source: https://www.mdaqmd.ca.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/1267/636337468837000000 Baseline Local Air Quality
The air quality at any site is dependent on the regional air quality and local pollutant sources. Regional air quality is determined by the release of pollutants throughout the MDAB as well as from air pollutants that travel from the coastal areas to the MDAB. The MDAQMD operates an extensive monitoring network throughout the County that continuously monitor ambient levels of criteria pollutants in compliance with federal monitoring regulations. The nearest air monitoring station to the project site is the Victorville Monitoring Station (Victorville Station), which is located approximately 4.8 miles southeast of the Project site at 14306 Park Avenue, Victorville. Baseline air quality data was utilized from this station and can be found in Appendix A.

Thresholds of Significance
The MDAQMD’s CEQA and Federal Conformity Guidelines (MDAQMD 2020), outlines significance determination thresholds. The MDAQMD Guidelines state that any project is significant if it triggers or exceed the most appropriate evaluation criteria, and further specifies that the emissions comparison (criteria number 1) is sufficient for most projects:

1. Generate total emissions (direct and indirect) in excess of the threshold given in Table 3.3-2;

2. Generates a violation of any ambient air quality standard when added to the local background;

3. Does not conform with the applicable attainment or maintenance plan(s) ;

4. Exposes sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, including those resulting in a cancer risk greater than or equal to 10 in a million and/or a Hazard Index (HI) (non-cancerous) greater than or equal to 1.

The MDAQMD significant emissions thresholds are shown below in Table 3.3-2. According to the MDAQMD Guidelines, a significant project must incorporate mitigation sufficient to reduce its impact to a level that is not significant. A project that cannot be mitigated to a level that is not significant must incorporate all feasible mitigation. Note that the emission thresholds are given as a daily value and an annual value, so that multi-phased project (such as project with a construction phase and a separate operational phase) with phases shorter than one year can be compared to the daily value. Since construction of the proposed project is anticipated to take over a year, the annual threshold has been utilized for both short-term construction impact analysis and long-term operational impacts.

3.3.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the MDAQMD Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs). The following is the analysis procedure detailed in the MDAQMD Guidelines for Conformity Impacts:

A project is non-conforming if it conflicts with or delays implementation of any applicable attainment or maintenance plan. A project is conforming if it complies with all applicable District rules and regulations, complies with all proposed control measures that are not yet adopted from the applicable plan(s), and is consistent with the growth forecasts in the applicable plan(s) (or is directly included in the applicable plan). Conformity with growth forecasts can be established by demonstrating that the project is consistent with the land use plan that was used to generate the growth forecast. An example of a non-conforming project would be one that increases the gross number of dwelling units, increases the number of trips, and/or increases the overall vehicle miles traveled in an affected area (relative to the applicable land use plan).

For this Project, the City’s General Plan Land Use Element defines the long range land use assumptions that are represented in the AQMPs. The Project site is currently designated as LM in the General Plan and is zoned LM. The Project would be consistent with the existing zoning and land uses of the City.

The proposed warehouse would be adjacent to existing industrial uses to the north and south and would provide employment opportunities in an area that currently has more housing than jobs, which would likely result in a reduction of vehicle miles traveled for the future employees that now have to commute long distances for work. Based on the above, the proposed Project would not result in an inconsistency with the AQMPs. Therefore, a less-than-significant impact would occur in relation to implementation of the AQMP.
b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. The following section calculates the potential air emissions associated with the construction and operations of the proposed project and compares the emissions to the MDAQMD criteria pollutant emissions standards detailed above.

23 Construction activities for the proposed Project are anticipated to start early 2023 and would take approximately 13 months to complete. Construction activities for the proposed project are anticipated to include site preparation and grading of the 3.17-acre Project site, building construction of the warehouse facility, paving of the onsite driveways, truck loading area, and parking lots, and application of architectural coatings. The CalEEMod model has been used to calculate the construction-related criteria pollutant emissions from the proposed Project and the input parameters used in this analysis have been detailed in Section 7.1 of Appendix A. The annual construction-related criteria pollutant emissions from the proposed Project are shown below in Table 3.3-3 and the CalEEMod Annual printouts are provided in Appendix A.

Table 3.3-3 shows that none of the analyzed criteria pollutants emissions would exceed the MDAQMD annual thresholds during construction of the proposed project. Therefore, a less-than-significant air quality emissions impact would occur from construction of the proposed Project.

Operational Emissions
The operations-related criteria air quality impacts created by the proposed Project have been analyzed through use of the CalEEMod model. The annual operations-related criteria pollutant emissions from the proposed Project are shown below in Table 3.3-4 and the CalEEMod annual printouts are provided in Appendix A.

Table 3.3-4 shows that none of the analyzed criteria pollutants emissions would exceed the MDAQMD annual emissions thresholds during operation of the proposed Project. Therefore, a less-thansignificant air quality emissions impact would occur from operation of the proposed Project. c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The MDAQMD Guidelines details that sensitive receptor land uses consist of: residences, schools, daycare centers, playgrounds and medical facilities are considered sensitive receptor land uses. The nearest sensitive receptors to the proposed Project are tract homes located as near as 2,300 feet (0.44 mile) to the south of the Project site.

According to the MDAQMD Guidelines, the following project types proposed for sites within the specified distance to an existing or planned (zoned) sensitive receptor land use must be evaluated to determine if it exposes sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations:
• Any industrial project within 1000 feet;
• A distribution center (40 or more trucks per day) within 1000 feet; • A major transportation project (50,000 or more vehicles per day) within 1000 feet; • A dry cleaner using perchloroethylene within 500 feet; • A gasoline dispensing facility within 300 feet.

The proposed Project would consist of development of a warehouse distribution facility. As mentioned in the Project Description (see Section 1.8), operation of the proposed Project is anticipated to generate 15 truck trips per working day. Because the nearest sensitive receptors are greater than 1,000 feet away (2,300 feet / 0.44 mile away), and because the proposed Project would generate fewer than 40 trucks per day (15 trucks per day), the proposed Project would not exceed thresholds detailed above for new industrial uses. Therefore, the proposed Project would result in a less-than-significant exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. d) Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people. Individual responses to odors are highly variable and can result in a variety of effects. Generally, the impact of an odor results from a variety of factors, such as frequency, duration, offensiveness, location, and sensory perception. The frequency is a measure of how often an individual is exposed to an odor in the ambient environment. The intensity refers to an individual’s or group’s perception of the odor strength or concentration. The duration of an odor refers to the elapsed time over which an odor is experienced. The offensiveness of the odor is the subjective rating of the pleasantness or unpleasantness of an odor. The location accounts for the type of area in which a potentially affected person lives, works, or visits; the type of activity in which he or she is engaged; and the sensitivity of the impacted receptor.

25 Sensory perception has four major components: detectability, intensity, character, and hedonic tone.

The detection (or threshold) of an odor is based on a panel of responses to the odor. There are two types of thresholds: the odor detection threshold and the recognition threshold. The detection threshold is the lowest concentration of an odor that will elicit a response in a percentage of the people that live and work in the immediate vicinity of the Project site and is typically presented as the mean (or 50 percent of the population). The recognition threshold is the minimum concentration that is recognized as having a characteristic odor quality, this is typically represented by recognition by 50 percent of the population. The intensity refers to the perceived strength of the odor. The odor character is what the substance smells like. The hedonic tone is a judgment of the pleasantness or unpleasantness of the odor. The hedonic tone varies in subjective experience, frequency, odor character, odor intensity, and duration. Potential odor impacts have been analyzed separately for construction and operations below.

Construction-Related Odor Impacts
Potential sources that may emit odors during construction activities include the application of coatings such as asphalt pavement, paints, and solvents, and from emissions from diesel equipment.

Standard construction requirements that limit the time of day when construction may occur as well as MDAQMD Rule 442 that limits VOC content in solvents, Rule 1103 that limits VOC content in asphalt and Rule 1113 that limits the VOC content in paints and solvents would minimize odor impacts from construction. As such, the objectionable odors that may be produced during the construction process would be temporary and would not likely be noticeable for extended periods of time beyond the Project site’s boundaries. Through compliance with the applicable regulations that reduce odors and due to the transitory nature of construction odors, a less-than-significant odor impact would occur, and no mitigation would be required.

Operations-Related Odor Impacts
The proposed Project would consist of the development of a warehouse. Operation of the proposed Project may create odors from diesel truck emissions, and from trash storage bins. Pursuant to City regulations, permanent trash enclosures that protect trash bins from rain as well as limit air circulation would be required for the trash storage areas. Diesel truck emissions odors would be generated intermittently from truck loading and unloading activities at the project site and would not likely be noticeable for extended periods of time beyond the project site boundaries. Due to the distance of the nearest receptors from the Project site (2,300 feet away) and through compliance with MDAQMD’s Rule 402 and City trash storage regulations, no significant impact related to odors would occur during the on-going operations of the proposed Project. Therefore, a less-than-significant odor impact would occur, and no mitigation would be required. 518

3.4.1 Environmental Setting
Chambers Group biologists conducted a Biological Resource Reconnaissance Assessment, comprising a literature review and biological reconnaissance-level survey, in April 2022. The purpose of the survey was to document existing vegetation communities, identify special status species with a potential for occurrence, map habitats that could support special status wildlife species, and evaluate potential impacts of the Project to these resources. The Biological Resources Reconnaissance Assessment Report is provided in Appendix B.

Prior to performing the biological reconnaissance-level survey, Chambers Group biologists conducted a literature review of the latest available literature, publications, mapping and GIS data, and relevant databases for soils, jurisdictional water features that contribute to hydrology, and special status species known to occur within approximately 5 miles of the proposed Project site (Survey Area).

The biological reconnaissance-level survey was conducted on foot within the Project site on April 26, 2022, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. by Chambers Group biologists Heather Franklin and Alisa Muniz. During the pedestrian survey, the biologists identified and mapped all vegetation communities 519
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
27 observed within the Survey Area. Plant communities were determined in accordance with the Manual of California Vegetation, Second Edition (Sawyer et al. 2009). Plant nomenclature follows that of The Jepson Manual, Vascular Plants of California, Second Edition (Baldwin et al. 2012). Plant and wildlife species observed or detected within the Survey Area were recorded (Appendix B: Attachments 2 and 3), and site photographs were taken to document current site conditions (Appendix B: Attachment 4).

Biological Site Conditions
Literature Review
According to the results from the USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey (USDA 2022), the Project Site is located in the Mojave River Area, CA671 part of the soil map. One soil type is known to occur within and/or adjacent to the Project site: Cajon sand (0 to 2 percent slopes). The Project site is located within the Manzanita Wash Watershed (HUC 180902080503) and does not contain or abut any jurisdictional features (e.g., drainages or swales).

Database searches (CDFW 2022a; CNPS 2022) identified eight federally or state-listed threatened, endangered, or otherwise special-status plant species documented to historically occur within the vicinity of the Survey Area (Appendix B: Figure 3 – CNDDB Occurrences Map). It was determined that all eight plant species identified by the database searches are considered absent from the Survey Area due to lack of suitable habitat.

Database searches (CDFW 2022a; USFWS 2022) identified 26 federally or state-listed endangered or threatened, State Species of Concern, or otherwise special-status wildlife species documented to occur within the Survey Area (Appendix B: Figure 3 – CNDDB Occurrences Map). It was determined that all 26 special-status wildlife species identified during the literature review are absent due to the lack of suitable habitat present within the Project site. According to the USFWS Critical Habitat WebGIS map, the Project site does not contain or abut any designated Critical Habitat (USFWS 2022). Critical Habitat for the southwestern willow flycatcher occurs approximately 4 miles east of the Project site; however, no connectivity occurs between the Project site and the designated critical habitat.

Biological Reconnaissance-Level Survey
Four vegetation communities or land types were observed within the Survey Area during the biological reconnaissance-level survey: disturbed, ornamental, ruderal, and developed landscape. Most of the Project site is disturbed with some portions of ruderal vegetation occurring along the southern edge of the site, and a small, developed area including a small portable building with ornamental vegetation occurs in the northeast section of the site. Twelve plant species were observed within the Survey Area during the survey and are representative of the existing Study Area conditions; special-status special plant species were not observed. Seven wildlife species were observed within the Survey Area and were characteristic of the existing Survey Area condition; special-status special wildlife species were not observed.

3.4.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modification, on any species identified as candidate, sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, 520
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
28 policies or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Less than Significant Impact. Existing on the site is a vacant manufactured commercial building, iron fence, and two concrete slabs, including a designated parking area. Beginning at the eastern entrance gate, and surrounding the parking slab, is a slightly dispersed layering of 1-4-inch sized rip rap gravel.

There are also multiple imported pine trees separating the building and parking slab, with two Conex boxes located to the west. The site contains minimal vegetation. A search of the CNDDB and USFWS databases identified eight special status plant species and 26 animal species with 5 miles of the Project site; however, no special status species were observed during the biological reconnaissance-level survey and all special status species are considered absent from the Project site due to lack of suitable habitat within the Survey Area. Additionally, the Project site has four vegetation communities present within the Survey Area: Disturbed, Ornamental, Ruderal, and Developed. These communities do not support any special status species or critical habitat, and do not support any local vegetation communities. Therefore, all potential special status plant and animal species are considered absent from the survey area. However, the Project would be required to comply with the MBTA which notes that prior to any ground disturbance, to the greatest extent feasible, construction activities should take place outside nesting season (February 1 to August 31). If construction activities occur during nesting season, preconstruction nesting bird surveys should be conducted. Compliance with the MBTA, and lack of special status species being present at the Project site, impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.4.1, the proposed Project site does not contain any jurisdictional features, including drainages and swales, or other hydrological features that could support or have the potential to contain riparian habitat (CDFW 2022a; USFWS 2022). The proposed Project is located in a flat rural area with native desert vegetation within and surrounding the site. Furthermore, Chambers Group biologists did not observe riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities within the proposed Project site during the biological survey. Implementation of the proposed Project does not have the potential to have an adverse effect on any riparian habitat or sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the CDFW or USFWS.

Therefore, no impacts would occur.
c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including but not limited to marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No Impact. As discussed above in Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 (b), no jurisdictional features or state or federally protected wetlands occur within or adjacent to the proposed Project site. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
d) Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
521

29 Less than Significant Impact. Based on the results of the biological reconnaissance-level survey, the proposed Project would not substantially interfere with the movement of any native resident or migratory species or with established native or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native nursery sites the Project would be required to comply with the MBTA which notes that prior to any ground disturbance, to the greatest extent feasible, construction activities should take place outside nesting season (February 1 to August 31). If construction activities occur during nesting season, preconstruction nesting bird surveys should be conducted. Impacts therefore are less than significant.
e) Would the project conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.4.2 (a), no special status species occur within the Project site.

The only tree species found on site were ornamental, consisting of cultivated pine trees, which are not protected under any local policies or ordinances. Therefore, no impacts would occur. f) Would the project conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Conservancy Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact. The proposed Project is not located in an area within a Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan (CDFW 2022b). Implementation of the Project would, therefore, not result in impacts to any such plans.

3.5.1 Environmental Setting
Chambers Group archaeologists prepared a Cultural Resource Survey and Report for the Project in August 2022 (Appendix C). The assessment included a cultural resources records search, literature review and research, and field survey of the Project site.

Chambers Group requested a records search from the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) at California State University, Riverside on April 1, 2022. The SCCIC returned the records search results on March 3, 2022, providing information on all documented cultural resources and previous archaeological investigations within 0.5 mile of the Project 522
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
30 site. Resources consulted during a records search conducted by the SCCIC include the NRHP, California Historical Landmarks (CHL), California Points of Historical Interest (CPHI), Caltrans Historic Highway Bridge Inventory, the California State Historic Resources Inventory, local registries of historic properties, and a review of available Sanborn Fire Insurance maps as well as historical photographs, maps, and aerial imagery. Based on the records search conducted by the SCCIC, eight previously recorded cultural resources are recorded within 0.5 mile of the Project site; however, none of these resources are within the Project site boundaries. A list of the previously recorded cultural resources within 0.5 mile of the Project site is provided in Appendix C.

In addition to the SCCIC record search, Chambers Group archaeologists completed research (literature review) to determine if any additional historic properties, landmarks, bridges, or other potentially significant or listed properties are located within the Project footprint or 0.5-mile study area. As a result of the literature review, no previously recorded resources or any other listed or potentially significant properties were identified within the Project site.

Chambers Group archaeologist and cross-trained paleontologist Kellie Kandybowicz conducted a cultural resources Phase I intensive pedestrian survey of the Project site on April 14, 2022. The cultural resources survey consisted of systematic surface inspection of all areas with transects walked at 10-meter intervals to ensure that any evidence of surface-exposed cultural materials and/or evidence of paleontological resources could be identified. Chambers Group examined the ground surface for the presence of prehistoric artifacts (e.g., flaked stone tools, tool-making debris, stone milling tools), historical artifacts (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics), sediment discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, roads and trails, and depressions and other features that might indicate the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., post holes, foundations). No surface evidence of prehistoric or historic archaeological resources or paleontological resources was identified within the Project site.

Additionally, Chambers Group submitted a request to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on April 1, 2022, to provide a review of the Sacred Land Files (SLF) for the Project site and surrounding vicinity. On May 13, 2022, Chambers Group received a response from the NAHC stating that the search of its Sacred Lands File was negative for the presence of Native American cultural resources within Project site and the record search study area.

a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to §15064.5?
b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5?
Less than Significant Impact. Results from the survey and records search indicated that no previously recorded historic cultural resources have been documented within the proposed Project site. During the pedestrian survey, no previously undiscovered resources were discovered. Various cans and glass bottles were observed, however, none are considered historically significant. The Project site has not been found to contain recorded evidence of historic cultural resources. Additionally, the Project would be required to comply with the City of Adelanto Policy Implementation Program for the potential of undiscovered archaeological resources.

31 Program OS-13:Disturbances of Archaeological Resources If the archaeological assessment did not identify potentially significant archaeological resources in the proposed planning area but indicates the area to be of medium or high sensitivity for archaeological resources, an archaeologist who meets the PQS shall be retained on an on-call basis.

The archaeologist shall inform all construction personnel prior to construction activities about the proper procedures in the event of an archaeological discovery.

The training shall be held in conjunction with the project’s initial on-site safety meeting and shall explain the importance and legal basis for the protection of significant archaeological resources. In the event that archaeological resources (artifacts or features) area exposed during ground disturbing activities, construction activities within a 50-foot radius of the discovery shall be halted while the on-call archaeologist is contacted. If the resource is determined to be significant or unique through significance evaluation, and site avoidance is not possible, appropriate sitespecific mitigation measures shall be established and undertaken. These might include an archaeological data recovery program that would be implemented by a qualified archaeologist and performed in accordance with the Office of Historic Preservation’s Archaeological Resource Management Reports (ARMR). If the discovery proves to be significant, it shall be curated with a qualified scientific of educational repository, as defined by the Guidelines for the Curation of Archaeological Collections.

Compliance with the City’s polocies and local regulations, in addition to the negative results of any resources on the Project site, impacts would be less than significant. c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Less than Significant Impact. As noted in the discussion above, no available information suggests that human remains may occur within the Project site and the potential for such an occurrence is considered very low. However, if during construction human remains are found on site, the Project is required to comply with the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, CEQA Section 15064.5, and California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. This code section states that no further disturbance shall occur until the San Bernardino County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the County Coroner shall be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the County Coroner shall notify the NAHC, which shall notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. . Compliance with the State regulations would ensure that impacts would remain less than significant. 524

3.6.1 Environmental Setting
An Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Analysis was prepared for the proposed Project and is included in Appendix A. The results of the analysis are summarized below. This analysis includes a discussion of the potential energy impacts of the proposed Project, with particular emphasis on avoiding or reducing inefficient, wasteful, and unnecessary consumption of energy. A general definition of the energy resources that the Project may use, are provided below.

Electricity, a consumptive utility, is a man-made resource. The production of electricity requires the consumption or conversion of energy resources, including water, wind, oil, gas, coal, solar, geothermal, and nuclear resources, into energy. The delivery of electricity involves a number of system components, including substations and transformers that lower transmission line power (voltage) to a level appropriate for on-site distribution and use. The electricity generated is distributed through a network of transmission and distribution lines commonly called a power grid. Conveyance of electricity through transmission lines is typically responsive to market demands. In 2020, San Bernardino County consumed 15,969 Gigawatt-hours per year of electricity.

Natural gas is a combustible mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds (primarily methane) that is used as a fuel source. Natural gas consumed in California is obtained from naturally occurring reservoirs, mainly located outside the State, and delivered through high-pressure transmission pipelines. The natural gas transportation system is a nationwide network and, therefore, resource availability is typically not an issue. Natural gas satisfies almost one-third of the State’s total energy requirements and is used in electricity generation, space heating, cooking, water heating, industrial processes, and as a transportation fuel. Natural gas is measured in terms of cubic feet. In 2020, San Bernardino County consumed 527.24 Million Therms of natural gas.

Petroleum-based fuels currently account for a majority of the California’s transportation energy sources and primarily consist of diesel and gasoline types of fuels. However, the state has been working on developing strategies to reduce petroleum use. Over the last decade California has implemented several policies, rules, and regulations to improve vehicle efficiency, increase the development and use of alternative fuels, reduce air pollutants and GHG emissions from the transportation sector, and reduce VMT. Accordingly, petroleum-based fuel consumption in California has declined. In 2017, 1,377 million gallons of gasoline and 265 million gallons of diesel was sold in San Bernardino County.

33 The following section calculates the potential energy consumption associated with the construction and operations of the proposed project and provides a determination if any energy utilized by the proposed project is wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources.

3.6.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would impact energy resources during construction and operation. Energy resources that would be potentially impacted include electricity, natural gas, and petroleum-based fuel supplies and distribution systems.

Construction Energy
The construction activities for the proposed Project are anticipated to include site preparation and grading of the 3.17-acre Project site, building construction of the warehouse facility, paving of the onsite driveways, truck loading area, and parking lots, and application of architectural coatings. The proposed Project would consume energy resources during construction in three general forms:
• Petroleum-based fuels used to power off-road construction vehicles and equipment on the Project site, construction worker travel to and from the project site, as well as delivery and haul truck trips (e.g. hauling of material to disposal facilities); • Electricity associated with the conveyance of water that would be used during project construction for dust control (supply and conveyance) and electricity to power any necessary lighting during construction, electronic equipment, or other construction activities necessitating electrical power; and,
• Energy used in the production of construction materials, such as asphalt, steel, concrete, pipes, and manufactured or processed materials such as lumber and glass.

Construction-Related Electricity
During construction the proposed Project would consume electricity to construct the proposed warehouse and infrastructure. Electricity would be supplied to the Project site by Southern California Edison and would be obtained from the existing electrical lines on the Project site. The use of electricity from existing power lines rather than temporary diesel or gasoline powered generators would minimize impacts on fuel consumption. Electricity consumed during project construction would vary throughout the construction period based on the construction activities being performed.

Various construction activities include electricity associated with the conveyance of water that would be used during project construction for dust control (supply and conveyance) and electricity to power any necessary lighting during construction, electronic equipment, or other construction activities necessitating electrical power. Such electricity demand would be temporary, nominal, and would cease upon the completion of construction. Overall, construction activities associated with the proposed Project would require limited electricity consumption that would not be expected to have an adverse impact on available electricity supplies and infrastructure. Therefore, the use of electricity during project construction would not be wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary. 526
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
34 Since there is currently power provided to the Project site, it is anticipated that only nominal improvements would be required to Southern California Edison distribution lines and equipment with development of the proposed Project. Compliance with City’s guidelines and requirements would ensure that the proposed Project fulfills its responsibilities relative to infrastructure installation, coordinates any electrical infrastructure removals or relocations, and limits any impacts associated with construction of the Project. Construction of the Project’s electrical infrastructure is not anticipated to adversely affect the electrical infrastructure serving the surrounding uses or utility system capacity.

Construction-Related Natural Gas
Construction of the proposed Project typically would not involve the consumption of natural gas.

Natural gas would not be supplied to support construction activities, thus there would be no demand generated by construction. Since there is currently natural gas service to of the Project site, construction of the proposed Project would be limited to installation of new natural gas connections within the Project site. Development of the proposed Project would likely not require extensive infrastructure improvements to serve the Project site. Construction-related energy usage impacts associated with the installation of natural gas connections are expected to be confined to trenching in order to place the lines below surface. In addition, prior to ground disturbance, the proposed Project would notify and coordinate with SoCalGas to identify the locations and depth of all existing gas lines and avoid disruption of gas service. Therefore, construction-related impacts to natural gas supply and infrastructure would be less than significant.

Construction-Related Petroleum Fuel Use
Petroleum-based fuel usage represents the highest amount of transportation energy potentially consumed during construction, which would be utilized by both off-road equipment operating on the project site and on-road automobiles transporting workers to and from the Project site and on-road trucks transporting equipment and supplies to the Project site.

The off-road construction equipment fuel usage was calculated through use of the off-road equipment assumptions and fuel use assumptions shown in Section 8.2 of Appendix A, which found that construction of the proposed project would consume 2,808 gallons of gasoline and 36,590 gallons of diesel fuel. This equates to 0.0002 percent of the gasoline and 0.01 percent of the diesel used annually in San Bernardino County. As such, the construction-related petroleum use would be nominal, when compared to current county-wide petroleum usage rates.

Construction activities associated with the proposed project would be required to adhere to all State and MDAQMD regulations for off-road equipment and on-road trucks, which provide minimum fuel efficiency standards. As such, construction activities for the proposed Project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy resources. Impacts regarding transportation energy would be less than significant. Development of the Project would not result in the need to manufacture construction materials or create new building material facilities specifically to supply the proposed Project. It is difficult to measure the energy used in the production of construction materials such as asphalt, steel, and concrete, it is reasonable to assume that the production of building materials such as concrete, steel, etc., would employ all reasonable energy conservation practices in the interest of minimizing the cost of doing business. 527

35 Operational Energy
The proposed Project would consist of development of a warehouse distribution facility. The on-going operation of the proposed Project would require the use of energy resources for multiple purposes including, but not limited to, heating/ventilating/air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, lighting, appliances, and electronics. Energy would also be consumed during operations related to water usage, solid waste disposal, landscape equipment and vehicle trips.

Operations-Related Electricity
Operation of the proposed Project would result in consumption of electricity at the Project site. As detailed in Section 8.3 of Appendix A, the proposed Project would consume 121,831 kilowatt-hours per year of electricity. This equates to 0.0008 percent of the electricity consumed annually in San Bernardino County. As such, the operations-related electricity use would be nominal, when compared to current electricity usage rates in the County.

It should be noted that, the proposed Project would comply with all Federal, State, and City requirements related to the consumption of electricity, that includes CCR Title 24, Part 6 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and CCR Title 24, Part 11: California Green Building Standards. The CCR Title 24, Part 6 and Part 11 standards require numerous energy efficiency measures to be incorporated into the proposed warehouse, including enhanced insulation, use of energy efficient lighting and appliances as well as requiring a variety of other energy-efficiency measures to be incorporated into the proposed structures. Therefore, it is anticipated the proposed project will be designed and built to minimize electricity use and that existing and planned electricity capacity and electricity supplies would be sufficient to support the proposed project’s electricity demand. Thus, the Project would not result in the wasteful or inefficient use of electricity and no mitigation measures would be required.

Operations-Related Natural Gas
Operation of the proposed Project would result in increased consumption of natural gas at the Project site. As detailed in Section 8.3 of Appendix A the proposed Project would consume 100 MBTU per year of natural gas. This equates to 0.00002 percent of the natural gas consumed annually in San Bernardino County. As such, the operations-related natural gas use would be nominal, when compared to current natural gas usage rates in the County.

It should be noted that, the proposed Project would comply with all Federal, State, and City requirements related to the consumption of natural gas, that includes CCR Title 24, Part 6 Building Energy Efficiency Standards and CCR Title 24, Part 11: California Green Building Standards. The CCR Title 24, Part 6 and Part 11 standards require numerous energy efficiency measures to be incorporated into the proposed warehouse, including enhanced insulation as well as use of efficient natural gas appliances and HVAC units. Therefore, it is anticipated the proposed Project will be designed and built to minimize natural gas use and that existing and planned natural gas capacity and natural gas supplies would be sufficient to support the proposed Project’s natural gas demand. Thus, impacts with regard to natural gas supply and infrastructure capacity would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be required
Operations-Related Vehicular Petroleum Fuel Usage

16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
36 Operation of the proposed Project would result in increased consumption of petroleum-based fuels related to vehicular travel to and from the Project site. As detailed in Section 8.2 of Appendix A the proposed Project would consume 10,779 gallons of gasoline and 27,620 gallons of diesel fuel per year from vehicle travel. This equates to 0.0008 percent of the gasoline and 0.01 percent of the diesel consumed annually in San Bernardino County. As such, the operations-related petroleum use would be nominal, when compared to current county-wide petroleum usage rates. Therefore, it is anticipated the proposed Project will be designed and built to minimize transportation energy and it is anticipated that existing and planned capacity and supplies of transportation fuels would be sufficient to support the proposed Project’s demand. Thus, impacts with regard transportation energy supply and infrastructure capacity would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be required.

In conclusion, the proposed Project would comply with regulatory compliance measures outlined by the State and County related to Air Quality, GHG Emissions, Transportation/Circulation, and Water Supply. Additionally, the proposed Project would be constructed in accordance with all applicable City Building and Fire Codes. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project construction or operation.

Impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency?
Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency.

3.7.1 Environmental Setting
Chambers Group prepared a Cultural Resource Survey and Report for the Project in August 2022 (Appendix C). The assessment included a paleontological resources review of the Project site.

The overall Adelanto area is a portion of the southern extent of the Mojave Desert and western extent of the Colorado Desert. As such, this area is characterized by the presence of decomposing granite derived from the nearby hillsides and windborne or water-borne alluvial deposits. Additional information from California Geological Survey indicates that the Project site is situated atop geological formations of Pleistocene to Holocene age sediments comprising largely non-marine alluvium, lake, playa, and terrace deposits; both unconsolidated and semi-consolidated (Jennings 2010).

Chambers Group requested a paleontological records search from the San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) on April 1, 2022 and received the results on July 15, 2022. This information was requested with the intent to provide further context related to the paleontological sensitivity of the area based on known fossil locations identified within the Project site or 0.5-mile study area. The paleontological records provide insight into what associated geological formations are more likely to contain fossils as well as the associated depths and placement of the known fossil locals relative to the geological formations in the area.

3.7.2 Impact Analysis
a) i) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on 532
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS

21354
40 other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication

42. ii) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking? Less than Significant Impact. Several faults run through the region, and as with much of southern California, the proposed structures will be subject to strong seismic ground shaking impacts should any major earthquakes occur in the future. According to the California Department of Conservation the nearest Alquist-Priolo (AP) Fault Hazard Zone is the Helendale Fault zone located over 15 miles northeast of the Project site, followed by the San Andres Fault located over 18 miles southwest of the Project site (DOC 2022c). No fault zones are located directly within the City, however some additional non- AP designated faults are located nearby, the closest one being the Mirage Valley Fault located just over 10 miles northwest of the Project site (DOC 2022c). the Project site and area can be exposed to significant ground shaking during major earthquakes on either of these regional faults. As a result, and like all other development projects in the City and throughout the Southern California Region, the proposed Project will be required to comply with all applicable seismic design standards contained in the current California Building Code (CBC).

Compliance with the CBC will ensure that structural integrity will be maintained in the event of an earthquake. Therefore, impacts associated with AP Faults and strong ground shaking will be less than significant.
iii) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact. Liquefaction is the process in which loose, saturated granular soil loses strength because of cyclic loading. The strength loss is a result of a decrease in granular sand volume and a positive increase in pore pressures. The Department of Conservation shows the nearest liquefaction zone located over 20 miles west of the Project site (DOC 2022c). Additionally, no large water sources are located near the Project site (Google 2022). Therefore, it is not anticipated that the proposed Project would experience seismic-related ground failure including liquefaction, and no impact would occur.
iv) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides?
No Impact. The elevation at the Project site is approximately 2,871 feet amsl and is not immediately adjacent to any slopes or hillsides that could be potentially susceptible to landslides.

As such, risks associated with slope instability should be considered “negligible.” Therefore, no impacts related to landslides would occur.
b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less than Significant Impact. Erosion is a large-scale impact caused by human activity and disturbance of surface soil, wind, and water. Existing on the site is a vacant manufactured commercial building and two concrete slabs, including a designated parking area. There are also multiple imported pine trees separating the building and parking slab. Located to the west of the building are two Conex boxes.

The site contains minimal vegetation. During construction, demolition of the existing structures and 533
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
41 grading of the site would expose soil to wind and water erosion. The developer would be required to comply with the General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Construction activity subject to this permit includes clearing, grading and disturbances to the ground such as stockpiling, or excavation. To obtain coverage under this permit, the developer would need to submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP would identify potential pollution sources and best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutants. Compliance with the SWPPP would reduce impacts related to soil erosions to less than significant. c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
Less than Significant Impact. Potential instability associated with slope stability and liquefaction related to the project was determined to be negligible. As mentioned in Threshold d below, the soil on site is considered a sandy material. The risk for subsidence at the site is considered low because, as mentioned in Threshold d below, the soils on site are of sandy material, and do not contain clay, and as such are not particularly susceptible to subsidence. As such, the Project would not be located on an unstable geologic unit and impacts would be less than significant. d) Would the project be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less than Significant Impact. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Web Soil Survey map prepared for the Project site, the site is located on Cajon Sand (USDA 2022). Expansive soils are generally of a clay type soil, not a sandy soil such as the Cajon Sands series soils that underlay the Project site. Compliance with the current CBC is sufficient to ensure that the proposed structures will conform to the underlying soils and thereby be constructed safely as habitable structures. Thus, based on the absence of clay-type soils on site, the proposed Project would have a less than significant potential to be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property. e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? No Impact. The Project would not include use septic tanks or other alternative wastewater treatment methods. Therefore, implementation of the Project would result in no impact associated with soils incapable of supporting septic systems or alternative wastewater treatment methods. f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geological feature?
Less than Significant Impact. The SBCM records search revealed that the Project site is located most immediately atop recent alluvial surficial deposits of Holocene age (Qa) comprised of unconsolidated mixed sand, silt, and gravel, often covered by soil and these upper deposits appear unlikely to be fossiliferous (Dibblee and Minch, 2008). However, these upper deposits directly overlie approximately

1.8 million- to 11,000-year-old Pleistocene alluvial deposits (Qoa) that are found to be highly fossiliferous in the local area. These Qoa deposits are understood to be present at depths as shallow 534

Adelanto, California

21354
42 as 3 feet below native surface in Adelanto but are exposed to the surface at the Mojave River to the east of the Project site.

Qoa has been shown to contain several fossil localities near the Project site. The SBCM records search indicated that within the requested 0.5-mile study area, three fossil localities (SBCM 1.115.1, 1.115.2, and 1.115.3) were found located at depths of 5 to 14 feet under the surface in middle to late Pleistocene age older alluvium consisting of mixed green to buff colored fine sand, silt, and clay, underlying the surficial younger alluvium. Additionally, the SBCM noted that outside of the 0.5-mile search radius, several other localities are documented in Qoa within a 5-mile radius of the Project site.

These include five localities (1.115.4 – 1.115.7 and 1.115.11) within 2 miles of the Project site.

Construction monitoring in the 5-mile radius of the Project site uncovered 70 paleontological localities (including SBCM 1.114.56 – 1.114.90, SBCM 1.114.93 – 1.114.97, SBCM 1.114.131 – 1.114.46, SBCM

1.114.160 – 1.114.65, 1.114.206 – SBCM 1.114.208, and SBCM 1.114.290 – 294) situated within Qoa, 3 to 15 feet beneath the surface (Reynolds and Springer 1991).

Overall, the paleontological background research and SBCM records search results indicate that there is a medium paleontological sensitively and potential to encounter intact and fossiliferous soil deposition at and below depths as shallow as three feet below surface within the Project site.

However, the proposed Project would be required to comply with the City’s Policy Implementation Program (OS-14), which states that in the event paleontological resources are discovered during construction activities, construction shall be halted within 60 feet of the find and shall not resume until the Project Paleontologist can determine the significance of the find. If the Qualified Paleontologist determines that the discovery constitutes a significant resource under CEQA and it cannot be avoided, the City shall implement a paleontological data recovery program.

Program OS-14: Paleontological Resources. Future development proposals subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) are subject to the following provisions at the expense of the project proponent, as directed by the Development Services Director.

Paleontological Assessment. In areas containing middle to late Pleistocene era sediments (Qof) where it is unknown if paleontological resources exist, prior to grading an assessment shall be made by a qualified paleontological professional to establish the need for paleontologic monitoring. Should paleontological monitoring be required after recommendation by the professional paleontologist and approval by the Development Services Director, paleontological monitoring shall be implemented.

Paleontological Monitoring. A project that requires grading plans and is located in an area of known fossil occurrence or that has been demonstrated to have fossils present in a paleontological field survey or other appropriate assessment shall have all grading monitored by trained paleontologic crews working under the direction of a qualified professional, so that fossils exposed during grading can be recovered and preserved. Paleontologic monitors shall be equipped to salvage fossils as they are unearthed, to avoid construction delays, and to remove samples of sediments that are likely to contain the remains of small fossil invertebrates and vertebrates.

Monitors shall be empowered to temporarily halt or divert equipment to allow removal of abundant or large specimens. Monitoring is not necessary if the 535

21354
43 potentially fossiliferous units described for the property in question are not present or if present are determined upon exposure and examination by qualified paleontologic personnel to have low potential to contain fossil resources. Should significant paleontological resources be discovered, paleontological recovery, identification, and curation shall be implemented.

Paleontological Recovery, Identification, and Curation. Qualified paleontologic personnel shall prepare recovered specimens to a point of identification and permanent preservation, including washing of sediments to recover small invertebrates and vertebrates. Qualified paleontologic personnel shall identify and curate specimens into the collections of the Division of Geological Sciences, San Bernardino County Museum or a similar established, accredited museum repository with permanent retrievable paleontologic storage. The paleontologist must have a written repository agreement in hand prior to the initiation of mitigation activities.

This measure is not considered complete until curation into an established museum repository has been fully completed and documented.

Paleontological Findings. Qualified paleontologic personnel shall prepare a report of findings with an appendix of itemized specimens subsequent to implementation of paleontological recovery, identification, and curation. A preliminary report shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Director before granting of building permits, and a final report shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Director before granting of occupancy permits.

Compliance with the City’s policies and local regulations, would ensure that impacts would remain less than significant.

3.8.1 Environmental Setting
An Air Quality, Energy, and Greenhouse Gas Analysis was prepared for the proposed Project and is included in Appendix A. The results of the analysis are summarized below. Constituent gases of the Earth’s atmosphere, called atmospheric GHGs, play a critical role in the Earth’s radiation amount by trapping infrared radiation from the Earth’s surface, which otherwise would have escaped to space. Prominent greenhouse gases contributing to this process include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), ozone, water vapor, nitrous oxide (N2O), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This phenomenon, known as the Greenhouse Effect, is responsible for maintaining a habitable climate. Anthropogenic (caused or produced by humans) 536
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
44 emissions of these greenhouse gases in excess of natural ambient concentrations are responsible for the enhancement of the Greenhouse Effect and have led to a trend of unnatural warming of the Earth’s natural climate, known as global warming or climate change. Emissions of gases that induce global warming are attributable to human activities associated with industrial/manufacturing, agriculture, utilities, transportation, and residential land uses. Emissions of CO2 and N2O are byproducts of fossil fuel combustion. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, results from off-gassing associated with agricultural practices and landfills. Sinks of CO2, where CO2 is stored outside of the atmosphere, include uptake by vegetation and dissolution into the ocean. Descriptions of each greenhouse gas and their global warming potential can be found in Appendix A.

Thresholds of Significance
As previously mentioned, the MDAQMD’s CEQA and Federal Conformity Guidelines (MDAQMD 2020), outlines significance determination thresholds. The MDAQMD Guidelines state that any project is significant if it triggers or exceed the most appropriate evaluation criteria, and further specifies that the emissions comparison (criteria number 1) is sufficient for most projects:

1. Generate total emissions (direct and indirect) in excess of the threshold provided in Table 3.8-1;

2. Generates a violation of any ambient air quality standard when added to the local background;

3. Does not conform with the applicable attainment or maintenance plan(s) ;

The MDAQMD significant emissions threshold for GHGs is shown in Table 3.8-1. Note that the emission thresholds are given as a daily value and an annual value, so that a multi-phased project (such as project with a construction phase and a separate operational phase) with phases shorter than one year can be compared to the daily value. Since construction of the proposed Project is anticipated to take over a year, the annual threshold has been utilized for both short-term construction impact analysis and long-term operational impacts.

3.8.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?
Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would consist of development of a warehouse distribution facility. The proposed Project is anticipated to generate GHG emissions from construction activities and from operational activities that would include area sources, energy usage, mobile sources, off-road equipment, waste disposal, and water usage. 537

45 The MDAQMD shares responsibility with CARB for ensuring that all state and federal GHG standards are achieved and maintained within its jurisdiction. The MDAQMD CEQA Guidelines provides a project level significance threshold of 100,000 tons of CO2e per year for both construction and operational activities. The MDAQMD developed this threshold in order to comply with the GHG emission reductions required by AB 32.

The Project’s GHG emissions have been calculated with the CalEEMod model based on the construction and operational parameters detailed above. A summary of the results is shown below in Table 3.8-2 and the CalEEMod model run is provided in Appendix A of the Greenhouse Gas Technical Report.

46 The data provided in Table 3.8-2 shows that the construction activities would create a total of 354.63 MTCO2e, which equates to 11.82 MTCO2e per year, when amortized over 30 years. The table also shows that operational activities would create 503.32 MTCO2e per year and when combined with the amortized construction emissions, the proposed Project would create a total of 515.14 MTCO2e per year, which is within the MDAQMD threshold of 100,000 MTCO2e per year.

Therefore, a less than significant generation of greenhouse gas emissions would occur from development of the proposed project. Impacts would be less than significant. b) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project would consist of development of a warehouse distribution facility. As detailed above in Table 3.8-2, the proposed Project is anticipated to create 515.14 MTCO2e per year, which is well below the MDAQMD threshold of significance of 100,000 MTCO2e per year. The MDAQMD developed this threshold in order to meet the State GHG emissions reduction regulations that was based on substantial evidence supporting the use of the recommended thresholds. Therefore, the proposed Project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases.

47 (g) Expose people or structures, either directly or
indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires?

3.9.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less than Significant Impact. Construction activities would likely require the use of limited quantities of hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, and lubricants for construction equipment; paints and thinners; and solvents and cleaners. These hazardous materials are typically packaged in consumer quantities and used in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and would be transported to and from the Project site. The improper handling and transport of hazardous materials could result in adverse health effects to workers or the public.

Transportation of hazardous materials is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and Caltrans. Together, federal and state agencies determine driver-training requirements, load labeling procedures, and container specifications designed to minimize the exposure of hazardous materials.

The San Bernardino County Fire Department (SBCFD), as the Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA), would be responsible for ensuring compliance with these regulations including, but not limited to, the Hazardous Waste Control Act, the Hazardous Waste Generator Program, the Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventory Program, the California Accidental Release Prevention Program, and the Aboveground Storage Tank Program. Additionally, the Applicant would be required to comply with the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (City 2020).

Therefore, considering the comprehensive set of federal, state, and local laws and regulations that regulate the transportation, management, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes, the potential for construction of the proposed Project to result in a significant hazard due to exposure of the public or the environment to hazardous materials or wastes during construction would be considered less than significant.

The use of common hazardous materials associated with maintenance activities and workplace functions would occur as part of the operation of the proposed Project. Hazardous chemicals common in similar settings include paints, lubricants, solvents, cleaning supplies and relatively small quantities of fuels, oils, and other petroleum-based products. Activities such as landscaping, can also become sources of releases of hazardous materials with pesticides and herbicides.

The Project would allow for delivery and export of auto parts, and electrical and fork-lift parts, some of which may contain small quantities of hazardous materials. Traditionally common hazards are handled and transported in small quantities, and because health effects associated with them with them are generally not as serious as industrial uses, operation of the new uses on site would not cause a significant impact with the routine use, transport, and disposal of general office and household hazardous materials.

As required by the SBCFD, any storage of hazardous materials and/or waste at the site would be required to submit business information and hazardous materials inventory forms contained in Hazardous Materials Management Plan and Hazardous Materials Business Plan. The SBCFD, as the 540
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
48 CUPA, requires all new businesses to follow applicable regulations and guidelines regarding storage and handling of hazardous waste. All hazardous materials are required to be stored and handled according to manufacturer’s directions and local, state and federal regulations including the Hazardous Waste Control Act (California Health and Safety Code Section 25100 et seq.), which is implemented by regulations described in Title 22 CCR. With adherence to existing regulatory requirements, the impact of the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials associated with operation of the Project would be less than significant. b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Less than Significant Impact. As discussed above in Threshold a), construction activities would require the use of limited quantities of hazardous materials that are normal requirements of the construction process, including fuels, oils, and lubricants for construction equipment; paints and thinners; and solvents and cleaners. These materials would be transported to and from the Project site for use during construction activities. The improper handling and transport of hazardous materials could result in accidental release of hazardous materials, thereby exposing the public or the environment to hazardous materials.

Construction activities would disturb more than one acre and, thus, would be required to implement requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Permit. This permit requires implementation of best management practices (BMPs) that would include measures to address the safe handling of hazardous materials, and in the unlikely event of an inadvertent release, also requires spill response measures to contain any release of hazardous materials. The use of construction BMPs implemented as part of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (discussed further in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality) as required by the NPDES General Construction Permit would minimize the potential adverse effects from accidental release of hazardous materials or wastes. If a spill of hazardous materials on the construction site were to occur, the spilled materials would typically be relatively localized because of the relatively small quantities involved and would be cleaned up in a timely manner in accordance with identified BMPs.

With the required protective measures (including BMPs) and the quantities of hazardous materials typically needed for construction projects, including the proposed Project, the potential hazard or threat to the public or environment from upset and accident conditions during construction hazards would be considered less than significant.

The Project would allow for delivery and export of auto parts, and electrical and fork-lift parts, some of which may contain small quantities of hazardous materials. Additionally, storage of other materials on site may be required and may include fuels, oils, solvents, cleaning products or landscaping pesticides or herbicides. Any use of hazardous materials during the operation of the proposed Project would be required to adhere to the provisions of programs administered by the SBCFD as the CUPA and in compliance with the City’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (City 2020). With compliance with the existing agencies, and adherence to existing regulations impacts associated with hazardous materials in regards to potential hazards to the public and environment, would be less than significant. 541

21354
49 c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? No Impact. The closest school to the site is Victoria Magathan Elementary school which is located approximately 0.8 miles southwest of the Project site. No schools are located within a quarter mile of the Project site and as a result there would be no impact related to emissions or handling of hazardous materials within a quarter mile of a school.
d) Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
No Impact. The Project will not be located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites that are currently under remediation. According to the California State’s GeoTracker and Envirostor website (consistent with Government Code Section 65962.5), which provides information regarding Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST), there are no active LUST sites located within the Project site, or within a 1,000-foot radius of the site (SWRCB 2022, DTSC 2022). Therefore, the proposed Project will not create a significant hazard to the population or to the environment. No impacts would occur.
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project is located just over 2 miles southwest of the Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA) and is not located within the SCLA boundaries.

Additionally, the Project would have a maximum height of 38 feet and 4 inches. Given the proximity from the airport, the proposed building height is not anticipated to interfere with airport operations.

Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Less than Significant Impact. Construction activities would be located within the Project site. Vehicles traveling to and from the Project site would utilize Highway 395 to access the site via Adelanto Road.

The City of Adelanto does not identify any evacuation routes within the City, though Highway 395 is the logical north-south regional connecting roadway within the City. No road closures would be required as part of construction of the Project. To ensure adequate circulation during operation, the proposed onsite parking and circulation plans will be reviewed by the local Fire Department and Police Department to ensure that the Project’s ingress/egress are adequate for accommodating emergency vehicles. Finally, a construction traffic plan will be required to be submitted to the Fire Department prior to development in order to provide adequate emergency access during construction of the proposed Project. Therefore, the Project would have less than significant impacts on the emergency evacuation plan.
g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
542
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
50 Less Than Significant Impact. According to the CAL FIRE, there are no fire hazard zones within the City of Adelanto that are of state responsibility; furthermore, there are no very high fire hazard zones of local responsibility (CalFire 2022). The proposed Project is located in a flat rural area with native desert vegetation within and surrounding the site. This is an area with very little fuel load in the surrounding area that could be susceptible to wildfires. Therefore, because the proposed Project is located outside of the area identified as a high fire hazard zone by CAL FIRE, the proposed Project has a less than significant potential to expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. No mitigation is required.

3.10.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality?
Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project is located within a developed area within the Mojave River watershed, which is within the Adelanto Planning Area of the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The City of Adelanto Water Department (AWD) is responsible for the water supply to the City. The City’s water supply comes solely from groundwater production from 15 543
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
51 potable wells in three pressure zones, transmission and distribution pipelines, booster stations and reservoirs. AWD is required to meet potable water quality requirements of the Division of Drinking Water, State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), as well as the California Department of Public Health. Typically, the three main sources of potential violation of water quality standards or waste discharge requirements are from generation of municipal wastewater, stormwater runoff, and potential discharges of pollutants, such as accidental spills. Municipal wastewater is delivered to AWD, and is processed at the City’s activated sludge wastewater treatment facility (WTF) through an operations and maintenance contract with PERC Water Corporation, which meets the waste discharge requirements imposed by the RWQCB.

Project construction would require temporary disturbance of surface soils and removal of vegetative cover through grading and excavation for the Project. Grading activities therefore could potentially result in erosion and sedimentation on site, which may alter the existing drainage pattern. The Project site is relatively flat, so the potential for soil erosion is low, but peak stormwater runoff could result in short-term sheet erosion in areas of exposed soils.

The Project would be required to obtain coverage under a Construction General Permit to comply with NPDES requirements. Compliance with the Construction General Permit would require the development and implementation of a SWPPP and associated BMPs. The BMPs would include measures that would be implemented to prevent discharge of eroded soils from the construction site and sedimentation of surface waters off site. Given the relatively flat topography of the site and implementation of the required SWPPP, construction of the Project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements.

Once developed, the Project will increase the imperviousness on the site from its existing conditions with the addition of parking lot and warehouse facility. To prevent significant impacts due to increased runoff at the Project site, stormwater would be collected on site and directed towards two catch basins located in the parking lot area. With implementation of these design features, Project operations would not substantially degrade surface or groundwater quality; impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project will be supplied water by the AWD, which utilizes groundwater to supply its customers. As further described in Section 3.19 Utilities and Service Systems below, water demand would be expected to be around 5,944 gallons per day or 6.7 acre feet per year (AFY). The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) prepared for the City, notes that by 2025, the City would demand a total of 4,996 AFY of water (City 2021). The proposed Project would represent 0.13 percent of the City’s projected water demand by 2025, which is a nominal amount. Furthermore, the 2020 UWMP indicates that AWD’s planned water supply meets demand from 2020-2040 (City 2021).

Therefore, impacts to groundwater supplies or basins would be less than significant. c) Would the project substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
544
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS

21354
52 i) result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site; Less Than Significant Impact. Project construction would require temporary disturbance of surface soils and removal of vegetative cover through grading and excavation. Grading activities therefore could potentially result in erosion and sedimentation. The Project site is relatively flat; therefore, the potential for soil erosion is low; however, peak stormwater runoff could result in short-term sheet erosion in areas of exposed soils. Compliance with the Construction General Permit would require the development and implementation of a SWPPP and associated BMPs.

Impacts related to erosion and siltation are less than significant. ii) substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site;
Less than Significant Impact. Implementation of the Project will increase the imperviousness on the site with the addition of the Project on the currently mostly undeveloped land. To prevent significant impacts due to increased runoff at the Project site, stormwater would be collected on site and directed towards two catch basins located in the parking lot area. This system will be designed to capture the peak 100-year flow runoff from the Project site or otherwise be detained on site and discharged in conformance with San Bernardino County requirements. Thus, the implementation of onsite drainage improvements and applicable requirements will ensure that stormwater runoff will not substantially increase the rate or volume of runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or off-site. Impacts would be less than significant. iii) create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources or polluted runoff; or Less than Significant Impact. As indicated above, the Project will not substantially create or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater capacity, or provide substantial additional sources of polluted water, particularly because the site plan includes catch basins that would be installed in the parking lot area; and other water quality control measures that will collect on-site runoff. The Project will require the implementation of a SWPPP, which will ensure that discharge of polluted material does not occur or is remediated in the event of an accidental spill. At present, the site is mostly pervious and runoff is either retained on site or is directed into adjacent public rights-of-way; thus, with the development of the site as proposed and through development of the planned drainage systems, runoff from the site would be managed more efficiently than that which exists at present. Thus, the implementation of onsite drainage improvements and applicable requirements will ensure that that drainage and stormwater will not create or contribute runoff that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned offsite stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. Impacts would be less than significant.
iv) impede or redirect flood flows?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project site does not contain any streams or rivers having the potential to be altered by the Project. In addition, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 06071C5795H, the Project site is designated as Flood Zone X, with a low likelihood of flooding and is not located within a FEMA 545
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
53 100-year flood hazard zone (FEMA 2022). Therefore, impacts associated with impeding or redirecting flood flows would be less than significant. d) Would the project in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation?
No Impact. The Project would not be susceptible to flood hazards, tsunami, or seiche. Seiche is generally associated with oscillation of enclosed bodies of water typically caused by ground shaking associated with a seismic event; however, the Project site is not located near an enclosed body of water. Flooding from tsunami conditions is not expected since the Project site is located approximately 67 miles from the Pacific Ocean. In addition, the Project site and immediate surrounding area is not located within a flood zone, thus the Project would not risk release of pollutants due to inundation. Therefore, no impacts associated with seiche, tsunami, or flooding would occur.
e) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
Less than Significant Impact. Please refer to the discussion under issue 3.10.1(b) above. The “2019 Sustainable Groundwater Management Basin Prioritization: Process and Results” document, prepared by the State of California Department of Water Resources, indicates that the Mojave River Basin, which underlies the proposed Project, is under very low priority (SGMA 2020). As stated in the 2019 Basin Prioritization, of the 515 groundwater basins in California, 94 are prioritized as high and medium and 421 are prioritized as low and very low. The Mojave River Basin does not have a sustainable groundwater management plan and the Project will not interfere with the overall water quality of the basin as discussed above. Furthermore, compliance with the State water conservation measures is enforced through AWD visits to operations, such as the proposed Project. As such, the proposed Project would not have a significant potential to conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan and impacts would be less than significant.

3.11.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project physically divide an established community? Less than Significant. The Project is proposed on a mostly vacant site that is bordered to the north and south by existing industrial uses consisting of self-storage facilities. No other development is 546

Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
54 within the vicinity of the Project site. The proposed Project, would infill development between two existing businesses and would not physically divide any existing communities. Impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Less than Significant. The Project site has a land use designation and zoning of LM. As shown in Figure 5, existing LM uses are directly east of the Project site and the area in the City known as ‘Light Manufacturing District East’, which allows for limited manufacturing, warehousing, and solar/wind.

Implementation of the Project would not result in a land use or zoning designation that would be surrounded by a different land use or zoning designation, also referred to as ‘island’ land use or zoning designations.

Additionally, the existing uses north and south of the Project site are largely similar to those of the proposed Project, therefore the proposed uses would be consistent. As shown in Table 3.11-1 below, the Project would be consistent with the applicable land use policies as noted in the Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan.

people are in the area.

Goal OS 4: Water consumption is reduced through aggressive implementation of conservation policies and programs.

OS 4.5 Provide for recycled water distribution
by requiring recycled water dual piping
in new developments, retrofitting
existing landscaped areas, and
constructing recycled water pumping
stations and transmission mains to
reach areas far from the treatment
plants.

Consistent. The City currently does not
distribute recycled water, therefore the
Project cannot currently plan for recycled
water consumption. However, if it does
become available, the Applicant will
evaluate the possibility of utilizing recycled
water for landscaping needs.

Goal OS 6: Local air quality is good; local contributions of airborne pollutants to the air basin is reduced.

OS 6.1 Pursue efforts to reduce air pollution
and greenhouse gas emissions by
promoting the use of renewable energy
(e.g., solar and wind power), and
implement effective energy
conservation and efficiency measures.

Consistent. The proposed warehouse will
be designed to meet the 2019 Title 24 Part

Quality above, the proposed Project would
not have any impacts on air quality or
odors.

Goal OS 8: Greenhouse gas emissions are minimized due to the efficient use and management of energy resources.

OS 8.2 Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
caused from the use of electricity and
natural gas by residential, commercial,
industrial, and municipal buildings.

Compliance with these regulations would
improve the efficiency of the overall
Project.

Goal OS 9: Sustainable neighborhood development principles, green infrastructure, and green buildings are found throughout Adelanto North.

OS 9.1 Encourage and support green building
principles in Adelanto
Consistent. The Project would be required
to adhere to CalGreen Building Code

3.12.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? No Impact. The proposed site for the project is located within land designated for mixed use, which is a designation that does not include mining operations as a permitted use. According to the Adelanto North Sustainable Plan, the only designation in which mineral resource mining is permitted, are in Open Space uses (City 2014). Additionally, CalGem Well Finder shows no wells on the Project site or in the area (CalGem 2022). Given that the Project site does not have an open space designation, and does not currently extract any minerals on site, , the development of the Project will not cause any loss of mineral resource values to the region or residents of the state, nor would it result in the loss of any locally important mineral resources identified in the City’s General Plan. No impacts would occur.

552
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
60 3.13.1 Environmental Setting
Noise is generally described as unwanted sound. The Project has two storage facilities located to the north and south of the Project site, with the US-395 to the west, and vacant land to the east.

The unit of sound pressure ratio to the faintest sound detectable to a person with normal hearing is called a decibel (dB). Sound or noise can vary in intensity by over one million times within the range of human hearing. A logarithmic loudness scale, similar to the Richter scale for earthquake magnitude, is therefore used to keep sound intensity numbers at a convenient and manageable level. The human ear is not equally sensitive to all sound frequencies within the entire spectrum. Noise levels at maximum human sensitivity from around 500 to 2,000 cycles per second are factored more heavily into sound descriptionsin a process called “A-weighting,” written as “dBA.”
Leq is a time-averaged sound level; a single-number value that expresses the time-varying sound level for the specified period as though it were a constant sound level with the same total sound energy as the time-varying level. Its unit is the decibel (dB). The most common averaging period for Leq is hourly.

Because community receptors are more sensitive to unwanted noise intrusion during more sensitive evening and nighttime hours, state law requires that an artificial dBA increment be added to quiet time noise levels. The State of California has established guidelines for acceptable community noise levels that are based on the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) rating scale (a 24-hour integrated noise measurement scale). The guidelines rank noise land use compatibility in terms of "normally acceptable," "conditionally acceptable," and "clearly unacceptable" noise levels for various land use types. The State Guidelines, Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Exposure, single-family homes are "normally acceptable" in exterior noise environments up to 60 dB CNEL and "conditionally acceptable" up to 70 dB CNEL based on this scale. Multiple family residential uses are "normally acceptable" up to 65 dB CNEL and "conditionally acceptable" up to 70 CNEL. Schools, libraries and churches are "normally acceptable" up to 70 dB CNEL, as are office buildings and business, commercial and professional uses with some structural noise attenuation.

3.13.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact.

Construction
Short-term construction noise impacts associated with the proposed Project will occur in phases as the Project site is developed. The earth-moving sources are the noisiest type of equipment typically ranging from 82 to 85 dB at 50 feet from the source. Construction equipment generates noise that ranges between approximately 75 and 90 dBA at a distance of 50 feet. Table 3.13-1 shows construction equipment noise levels at 25, 50 and 100 feet from the noise source. Section 17.90.020 of the Adelanto Municipal Code limits the hours of construction as follows:
553
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
61 To reduce potential noise and air quality nuisances, the following items shall be listed as “General Notes” on the construction drawings:

Construction activity and equipment maintenance is limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. to dusk on weekdays. Construction may not occur on weekends or State holidays, without prior consent of the Building Official. Non-noise generating activities (e.g. interior painting) are not subject to these restrictions. City and State construction projects, such as road re-building or resurfacing, and any construction activity that is in response to an emergency, shall be exempt from this requirement.

The Adelanto Municipal Code also limits stationary construction equipment from exceeding 65 dBA at the nearest residence, and enforces that all construction related truck trips must be limited to the Adelanto designated truck routes. The proposed Project would be constructed in compliance with the City’s Noise Performance Standards, and therefore construction of the Project would be less than significant.

Operations
Noise generated as a result of the Project would attenuate to a less than significant level, or an inaudible level by the time it reached the residences approximately 2,500 feet to the south. The primary source of noise generated as a result of the operation of the warehouse facility will be vehicular traffic entering, exiting and accessing the site, maintenance equipment that may be required 554
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
62 as needed, heating, ventilation and air conditioning units. The City of Adelanto does not identify exterior noise standards for industrial land uses; but indicates that, unless a sensitive use in proximity to a site would be impacted, industrial uses do not have a CNEL limit within which to operate. Noise attenuates at a rate of approximately 6 to 7 decibels per doubling of distance, and much like construction noise, equipment required to operate the warehouse facility will generate some noise, it would be consistent with noise produced by the adjacent storage facilities. Given the distance from the nearest residence to the Project site—about 2,500 feet to the south—the noise environment at the nearest residence will be well within the levels deemed acceptable by the City. With no sensitive receptors nearby, the proposed Project would not expose of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of established standards. Thus, based on the existing noise environment within this industrial corridor, neither operation or construction of the proposed Project would violate noise standards outlined in the City of Adelanto Development Code. Impacts would be less than significant. b) Would the project result in generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels?
Less than Significant Impact. Vibration is the periodic oscillation of a medium or object. The rumbling sound caused by vibration of room surfaces is called structure borne noises. Sources of groundborne vibrations include natural phenomena (e.g. earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sea waves, landslides) or human-made causes (e.g. explosions, machinery, traffic, trains, construction equipment). Vibration sources may be continuous or transient. Vibration is often described in units of velocity (inches per second), and discussed in decibel (dB) units in order to compress the range of numbers required to describe vibration. Vibration impacts related to human development are generally associated with activities such as train operations, construction, and heavy truck movements.

The Federal Transit Authority (FTA) Noise and Vibration Assessment states that in contrast to airborne noise, ground-borne vibration is not a common environmental problem (FTA 2006). Although the motion of the ground may be noticeable to people outside structures, without the effects associated with the shaking of a structure, the motion does not provoke the same adverse human reaction to people outside. Within structures, the effects of ground-borne vibration include noticeable movement of the building floors, rattling of windows, shaking of items on shelves or hanging on walls, and rumbling sounds. The FTA Assessment further states that it is unusual for vibration from sources such as buses and trucks to be perceptible, even in locations close to major roads. However, some common sources of vibration are trains, trucks on rough roads, and construction activities, such as blasting, pile driving, and heavy earth-moving equipment. The FTA guidelines identify a level of 80 VdB for sensitive land uses. This threshold provides a basis for determining the relative significance of potential Project related vibration impacts.

Due to the relatively compact size of the Project site, and the lack of any sensitive receptors within a reasonable distance of the Project site, the proposed Project will not expose people to generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. During construction, certain construction activities have some potential to create vibration, but due to the size of the site and lack of sensitive receptors, any impacts are considered less than significant. Furthermore, the City of Adelanto Municipal Code Section 17.90.030 places restrictions on vibration such that no ground vibration shall be allowed which can be felt without the aid of instruments at or beyond the subject property line. The proposed Project would comply with this restriction because no sensitive receptors exist within the vicinity of the Project that would be impacted by project related vibration.

Additionally, because the rubber tires and suspension systems of heavy trucks and other on-road 555
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
63 vehicles provide vibration isolation and reduced noise, it is unusual for on-road vehicles to cause noticeable groundborne noise or vibration impact. Most problems with on-road vehicle-related noise and vibration can be directly related to a pothole, bump, expansion joint, or other discontinuity in the road surface. The proposed Project would be constructed with smooth new pavement throughout the Project and would not result in significant groundborne noise or vibration impacts from vehicular traffic. Thus, any impacts under this issue are considered less than significant c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public us airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? No Impact. The proposed Project is located over two miles from the nearest airport, SCLA, and is not located within any airport plan boundaries. No impact regarding noise levels adjacent to an airport would occur.

3.14.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project will employ about 20 persons in support of Project operations, and about 30 persons in support of construction of the proposed Project. Implementation of the Project would not result in the construction of new homes or result in the extension of roads or other infrastructure. Construction of the Project would result in the generation of temporary construction jobs; however, the additional jobs are expected to be filled by residents who currently live in the area. In addition, new jobs generated by the operation of the facility are also expected to be filled by nearby residents; therefore, the jobs would not result in the relocation of any population.

The Project would not directly or indirectly induce substantial population growth through the creation of new homes or businesses, and impacts would be less than significant. b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?

Less Than Significant Impact. The San Bernardino County Fire Department (SBCFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the City. It would take approximately 5 minutes for SBCFD to reach the site from Station #322 (Google 2022). Emergency access to the Project site will be provided by the entrance on Adelanto Road. The proposed Project will incrementally add to the existing demand for fire protection services. Cumulative impacts are mitigated through the payment of a Fire Impact Fee, which is intended to provide funds directed towards fire protection. Additionally standard conditions will be imposed by the City and the Fire Department to ensure adequate fire flow at the proposed Project. Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant. b) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for police protection?

The Victor Valley Station has one captain, one lieutenant, eight sergeants, seven detectives, fifty eight patrol deputies, three sheriff’s service specialist, seven office specialists, two office assistants, one secretary and one automotive officer. The proposed Project will result in a marginal increase in demand for police services. Access to the site for Police protection services will be provided at the entrance to the Project site on Adelanto Road. These incremental impacts are mitigated through the contribution to the City’s General Fund through revenues generated by the Project.

Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant. c) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for schools? No Impact. The proposed Project is a warehouse facility that as discussed in Section 3.14 Population and Housing, is not expected to result in an increase to the existing population, and would therefore, not result in an increase in students or need for schools. The Adelanto Elementary School District and the Victor Valley Union High School District requires residential and commercial developments to pay School District Fees. Industrial projects such as the proposed Project are not required to pay these fees. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
d) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for parks? No Impact. As previously mentioned, the proposed Project is not expected to result in an increase to the existing population, and would therefore, not result in an increase to park usage. The proposed Project will not directly add to the existing demand on local recreational facilities. The City of Adelanto collects a park and recreation impact fee from residential projects. At present, the City does not require industrial projects such as the proposed Project, to contribute fees to parks and recreation.

Therefore, no impacts on parks and recreation facilities would occur. e) Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for other public facilities? Less Than Significant Impact. Other public facilities include library and general municipal services.

Since the Project will not directly induce substantial population growth, it is not forecast that the use of such facilities will substantially increase as a result of the proposed Project. The Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan states the following Policy, “Use development impact fees to fund library facilities, equipment, and programs that are needed as a result of new development projects.” These fees are not currently enforced by the City; however, the Project will contribute to the City’s General Fund through revenues generated by the Project, which may be used in support of Library services, and which are considered sufficient to offset any impacts to other public facilities as a result of implementing the Project. Therefore, impacts are expected to be less than significant. 558

3.16.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? No Impact. The Project involves creation of a new warehouse and, therefore, use of the site would be substantially similar to adjacent uses of the facilities to the north and south of the site. As previously mentioned, additional jobs generated by the Project are expected to be filled by residents who currently live in the area; and jobs would not result in the relocation of any population. Thus, the Project would not increase the use of the existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facilities would be accelerated. No impact would occur.
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? No Impact. The Project is a warehouse project and does not involve construction or expansion of recreational facilities; no impact would occur.

67 3.17.1 Environmental Setting
A VMT Analysis was prepared for the Project by General Technologies and Solutions (GTS). This memo is provided as Appendix D. The Project VMT analysis was conducted using the City of Adelanto’s “Traffic Impact Analysis Guidelines for Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Level of Service Assessment (LOS)” (Guidelines), dated July 2020. The guidelines included project screening criteria which was reviewed for the Project evaluation. The Project doesn’t qualify for VMT screening under any of the established screening criteria. A full VMT analysis was conducted using San Bernardino County Transportation Analysis Model (SBTAM), as recommended in the City’s guidelines.

SBTAM model is a socioeconomic data-based model and so the Project land use was converted into model employment categories using conversion factors that were developed from the ITE Trip Generation Manual trip rate data. The land use conversion yielded a total of 17 employees, however, the operational statement for the Project included a total of 20 employees at the Project site. Number of employees from the operational statement was used in the VMT analysis for a conservative scenario.

3.17.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadways, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project is located off of Adelanto Road between of Rancho Road and Holly Road. According to the Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan, Adelanto Road is intended to be a Major Boulevard (4 lanes, pedestrian oriented with Class II bike lanes). Traffic along this roadway is minimal at present, as this corridor consists mostly of vacant lots from Highway 395 between Holly Road and Rancho Road, but experiences higher levels of traffic from events at Adelanto Plaza and Event Center.

It is anticipated that the volume of traffic generated by the proposed Project will average at 101 trips per day. This is inclusive of 13 A.M. trips per day and 14 P.M. trips per day. Deliveries and truck trips related to operations of the proposed Project are anticipated to have a potential to occur on a weekday basis, with an estimated average of 15 round trips per day. Based on the planned capacities of the adjacent roadways, and that the Project will contribute a minimal amount of traffic to the surrounding roadways, the proposed Project has a less than significant potential to conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the roadway circulation system.

The Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan states that “the [Victor Valley Transit Authority] VVTA’s Comprehensive Transit Plan proposes the following service improvements and addresses general changes that can benefit the entire VVTA network.” At present, no bus service is provided in the immediate vicinity of the Project site; however, the nearest route (Route 33) stops about 5,000 feet southeast of the Project site at Cactuc Road and Caliente Road/Highway 395. As stated above, Adelanto Road is planned to eventually accommodate a Class II Bikeway (bike lane) and eventually will include sidewalks to accommodate pedestrians, but at present, the roadway adjacent to the Project site is not paved, and it is unknown when in the future the planned infrastructure will be installed in this area. Given the lack of available alternative modes of transportation in the Project area, the proposed Project has a less than significant potential to conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

68 In addition, during construction of the Project, activities would be restricted to the Project site and would not interfere with roadway traffic. All construction equipment would be stored on site and would also not block the roadway. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit, bikeways, or pedestrian facilities and would not otherwise substantially reduce the performance or safety features of such facilities. b) Would the project Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? Less than Significant Impact. Both baseline (2016) and horizon year (2040) model runs were used to estimate Project’s VMT impacts. SBTAM socioeconomic databases for the scenarios were updated with the project land use to calculate Project VMT. Typically, Project VMT is calculated by isolating the project in a new TAZ or multiple TAZs depending on the diversity of project land uses and project size.

Since, SBTAM does not allow addition of new TAZs, one TAZ was borrowed for this Project. The Project TAZ was utilized to calculate Project specific VMT per service population.

The Project and Roadway VMT analysis for both 2016 and 2040 at both the Project and County levels, is provided in Table 3.17-1.

Table 3.17-1. VMT Analysis Results
Year Project County

2016 16.9 26.4
2040 14.1 27.5
Roadway Level Analysis
2016 19.6 19.6
2040 23.6 23.7
As shown in Table 3.17-1, for both 2016 and 2040 conditions, the Project’s VMT per service population is less the County’s per service population. Based off the VMT results, the Project would not constitute a significant impact for both Project generated VMT and the Project’s effects on VMT. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.
c) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? Less than Significant Impact. The Project consists of a new warehouse facility with parking, landscaping, and other associated improvements. The Project does not include any hazardous design features such as sharp curves or dangerous intersections and is compatible with surrounding uses, which are mainly industrial. Impacts would be less than significant. d) Would the project result in inadequate emergency access? Less than Significant Impact. The proposed Project consists of activities that would take place along Adelanto Road. Vehicles traveling to and from the Project site would utilize Highway 395 to access the site via Adelanto Road. The City of Adelanto does not identify any evacuation routes within the City, though Highway 395 is the logical north-south regional connecting roadway within the City. 561

69 Additionally, to ensure adequate circulation during operation, the proposed onsite parking and circulation plans will be reviewed by the local Fire Department and Police Department to ensure that the Project’s ingress/egress are adequate for accommodating emergency vehicles. Finally, a construction traffic plan will be required to be submitted to the Fire Department prior to development in order to provide adequate emergency access during construction of the proposed Project. As such, the proposed Project would not result in inadequate emergency access and impacts would be less than significant.

5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the
significance of the resource to a California Native
American tribe.

3.18.1 Environmental Setting
On April 1, 2022, Chambers Group requested that the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) conduct a search of its Sacred Lands File (SLF) to determine if Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) important to Native Americans have been recorded in the Project site and 0.5-mile study area. PRC Section 21074 defines a resource as a TCR if it meets either of the following criteria:

1. sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a tribe that are listed, or determined to be eligible for listing, in the national or state register of historical resources, or listed in a local register of historic resources; or

2. a resource that the lead agency determines, in its discretion, is a tribal cultural resource On May 13, 2022, Chambers Group received a response from the NAHC stating that the search of its Sacred Lands File was negative for the presence of Native American cultural resources within Project site and the record search study area.

The Project site is located within the City of Adelanto, which has been contacted pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1 by the following California Native American tribes traditionally and 562
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
70 cultural affiliated with the City of Adelanto: Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, and Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians.

The proposed Project does not require AB 52 or SB 18 consultation. Nonetheless, as a good faith effort, the City of Adelanto initiated tribal consultation for the Project on July 13, 2022, reaching out to the Native American tribes, which included six tribal groups, to discuss their knowledge of the Project area.

Only two tribes have responded: the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians (ACBCI) and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN).

3.18.2 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)?
Less Than Significant Impact. As previously mentioned, as of the date of this document, only two tribes have responded to the City’s outreach. The ACBCI responded via e-mail on July 14, 2022, stating that the Project site is outside their Tribal Traditional Use Area, and deferring to more local tribal groups. The YSMN (formerly known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians) responded via e-mail on August 11, 2022 and again on August 25, 2022, noting that the Proposed Project area exists within Serrano ancestral territory and, therefore, is of interest to YSMN. The YSMN stated that YSMN does not have any concerns with the Project’s implementation, as planned, at this time; however, they did request that additional language be provided as part of the Project. These recommendations have been included as best management practices (BMPs) to ensure that any inadvertent discoveries of cultural resources are addressed, assessed, and protected appropriately, as well as verifying that the Tribe is notified appropriately of any cultural resources discovered throughout the Project. These practices (previously mentioned OS-13 and OS-14 in Section 3.5 and 3.7, respectively), and BMP-TCR1 and BMP-TCR-2 are intended to ensure that any inadvertent discoveries of TCRs are addressed, assessed, and protected appropriately, as well as verifying that the Tribe is notified appropriately of any cultural resources discovered throughout the Project.

As previously stated, the Project site consists of a trailer, concrete pads, storage boxes, and fence, with scattered native vegetation covering the site. During earth moving activities, implementation of the following BMPs shall be included as part of the construction process.

BMP-TCR-1: The YSMN Cultural Resources Department shall be contacted, as detailed in CUL-1, of any pre-contact cultural resources discovered during Project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a cultural resource Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in coordination with YSMN, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this Plan. This Plan shall allow for a monitor to be present that represents YSMN for the remainder of the Project, should YSMN elect to place a monitor on-site.
563

71 BMP-TCR-2: Any and all archaeological/cultural documents created as a part of the Project (isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to YSMN. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with YSMN throughout the life of the Project.

Therefore, the Project would not create a substantial adverse change to the significance of a tribal resources with compliance with the City’s policies and BMPs. Impacts would be less than significant. b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is a resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project is subject to compliance with the City’s Policy Implementation Program in addition to onsite BMPs. A good faith effort was conducted by the City to communicate with the California Native American Tribal representatives with regard to the Project.

No TCRs were identified during the outreach, and the City has not identified any TCRs within the Project site. Furthermore, results from the field survey and records search indicated that no previously recorded historic cultural resources have been documented within the proposed Project site. Impacts therefore are less than significant with regard to resources of significance to a California Native American tribe. To address any unanticipated tribal cultural resources that may be discovered on the Project site during ground disturbing activities associated with Project construction, compliance with the City’s Policy Implementation Program in addition to onsite BMP-TCR-1, BMP-TCR-2 would ensure impacts to be less than significant to undiscovered resources.

3.19.1 Impact Analysis
a) Would the project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or expansion of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact. Impacts on utilities and service systems would be less than significant as further described below.

Water
Potable water required by the Project would be supplied by the City. The City of Adelanto’s AWD is responsible for the water supply for the City. The City’s water supply comes solely from groundwater production from 15 potable wells. The City projected water supplies and demand in the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and noted adequate supply through the year 2045 (City 2021).

Construction activities associated with the Project are not expected to require a large amount of water due to the small amount of paving and water from the fire hydrant would be utilized as needed. The Project would connect to existing pipelines located along Adelanto Road. The installation of this pipeline underground would not cause any significant environmental effects and, as discussed under Threshold b below, the water system will not require expansion of existing water facilities beyond the construction of the conveyance pipeline to the proposed Project. Therefore, development of the Proposed Project would not result in a significant environmental effect related to the relocation or construction of new or expanded water facilities.

Wastewater
The City operates an upgraded 4.0 million gallons per day (MGD) activated sludge wastewater treatment facility through an operations and maintenance contract with PERC Water Corporation. All wastewater generated by the Project, once developed, will be delivered to AWD. The AWD Wastewater Treatment Plant treats approximately 1.5 MGD of wastewater at present, which leaves approximately 2.5 MGD of capacity remaining (City 2022).Based on the wastewater generation rates calculated under Threshold c below, the Project would represent a nominal increase in available capacity. The Project would connect to existing facilities along Adelanto Road. Therefore, development of the Project would not result in a significant environmental effect related to the relocation or construction of new or expanded wastewater facilities.

Stormwater
565
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
73 Stormwater would flow to catch basins which would be installed in the parking lot area. The drainage would be designed to capture the incremental increase in runoff from the Project site associated with Project development. This system will be designed to intercept the peak 100-year flow rate from the Project site. The downstream drainage system will not be altered and given the control of future surface runoff from the Project site; therefore, surface water will be adequately managed on site and as such, development of the Project would not result in a significant environmental effect related to the relocation or construction of new or expanded stormwater facilities. A full discussion of potential impacts to Hydrology and Water quality is provided under Section 3.10 of this document.

Electric Power
Electric power would be provided by SoCal Edison with nearby power delivery lines along Adelanto Road. Therefore, development of the warehouse facility would not result in a significant environmental effect related to the relocation or construction of new or expanded electrical power facilities.

Natural Gas
Natural gas will be supplied by Southwest Gas Company. The site will connect to the existing natural gas line along Adelanto Road. This effort to connect the site to natural gas is not anticipated to result in significant impacts, as evidenced by the discussions in preceding sections. Therefore, development of the warehouse facility would not result in a significant environmental effect related to the relocation or construction of new or expanded natural gas facilities.

Telecommunications
Development of the warehouse facility would require installation of telecommunication services, including wireless internet service and phone service. This can be accomplished through connection to existing services that are available to the developer at the Project site. Therefore, development of the facility would not result in a significant environmental effect related to the relocation or construction of new or expanded telecommunications facilities. b) Would the project have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal dry and multiple dry years? Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Adelanto’s AWD is responsible for the water supply for the City. The City’s water supply comes solely from groundwater production from 15 potable wells. The City’s water system delivers water to three pressure zones and consists of the aforementioned wells, transmission and distribution pipelines, booster stations and reservoirs. As mentioned in Threshold c below, the Project is expected to generate approximately 4,755 gallons of wastewater per day.

Typically, water demand is 125 percent of wastewater generation, which would mean that water demand would be expected to be around 5,944 gallons per day or 6.7 acre feet per year (AFY). The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) prepared for the City, notes that by 2025, the City would demand a total of 4,996 AFY of water (City 2021). The proposed Project would represent 0.13 percent of the City’s projected water demand by 2025, which is a nominal amount. Furthermore, the 2020 UWMP indicates that AWD’s planned water supply meets demand from 2020-2040 (City 2021).

Through the payment of water standby charges, hookup and connection fees, the impact of implementing the proposed Project on water systems would be less than significant. 566
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
74 c) Would the Project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?
Less Than Significant Impact. The AWD Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of 4.0 MGD. The AWD Wastewater Treatment Plant treats approximately 1.5 MGD of wastewater at present, which leaves approximately 2.5 MGD of capacity remaining (City 2022). According to the San Bernardino Countywide Plan EIR, light industrial uses would generate approximately 1,500 gallons per acre per day (Countywide 2019). Based on this information, the Project would be expected to generate approximately 4,755 gallons per day or 0.0005 MGD which represents about 0.019 percent of the total remaining capacity at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. This would be considered a nominal amount. Thus, the proposed Project will consume some capacity of the existing AWD Wastewater Treatment Plant, but not a significant amount such that it would result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the Project that it has adequate capacity to serve the Project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments. Impacts would be less than significant.
d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed Project will generate demand for solid waste service system capacity and has a potential to contribute to potentially significant cumulative demand impacts on the solid waste system. Solid waste generation rates shown on CalRecycle are segregated by sector, and state that warehouse uses such as that which this Project proposes can produce 13.82 pounds per employee per day (lbs/employee/day) (CalRecycle 2019). According to the applicant provided data, approximately 20 employees would be onsite during operations, which would equate to approximately 276.4 pounds of solid waste per day, 0.13 tons per day, or 50.44 tons of solid waste per year. The Victorville Sanitary Landfill has adequate capacity to handle the waste generated associated with construction and operations of the proposed Project. According to the CalRecycle, the maximum permitted capacity of Victorville Sanitary Landfill is 93,400,000 Cubic Yards (CY), while its remaining capacity is 79,400,000 CY; the Victorville Sanitary Landfill can accept 3,000 tons per day (CalRecycle 2022). The proposed Project would represent 0.13 tons per day of the allowed 3,000 tons per day, which is a nominal increase.

The City of Adelanto contracts with Burrtec Waste and Recycling Services to provide commercial trash services. It is not anticipated that the Project will generate a significant amount of construction waste, as the Project site has minimal existing materials on site. Additionally, the Project would require 1,190 cubic yards of cut and 4,850 cubic yards of fill, resulting in an import total of 3,660 cubic yards so no soil would be required to be removed from the site. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. e) Would the project comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste?
Less Than Significant Impact. The Project consists of creation of a new warehouse and associated utilities; therefore, no major demolition is anticipated for the Project. Project operations would receive raw materials, resulting in minimal waste. Additionally, the Project would be required to comply with AB 939 and AB 341, which state the City must divert at least 50 percent of its annual 567
16454 Adelanto Road Warehouse IS
Adelanto, California
Chambers Group, Inc.
21354
75 waste and set a 75-percent recycling goal for California by 2020. Compliance with these measures would ensure that impacts would remain less than significant.

No Impact. According to the CAL FIRE, there are no fire hazard zones within the City of Adelanto that are of state responsibility; furthermore, there are no very high fire hazard zones of local responsibility (CalFire 2022). The Project area is located within an area with very little fuel load in the surrounding area that could be susceptible to wildfires and is located within an area removed from the high fire hazard areas that are located adjacent to the San Bernardino Mountains to the south. The Project area is located within an area in a low-lying flat area of the City with very little fuel load and minimal chance for flooding or landslides, and is located within an area removed from the high fire hazard areas that are located adjacent to the San Bernardino Mountains to the south. 568

76 Additionally, as previously discussed, the City of Adelanto does not identify any evacuation routes within the City, though Highway 395 is the logical north-south regional connecting roadway within the City. No road closures would be required as part of construction of the Project. To ensure adequate circulation during operation, the proposed onsite parking and circulation plans will be reviewed by the local Fire Department and Police Department to ensure that the Project’s ingress/egress are adequate for accommodating emergency vehicles.

Since there are no state or local responsibility areas for very high fire hazard zones on or near the Project site, no impacts would occur.

Impact
(a) Does the project have the potential to substantially 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, substantially reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate important examples of
the 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?

3.21.1 Impact Analysis
a) Does the project have the potential to substantially 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, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Less Than Significant Impact. As described in Section 3.4 Biological Resources and Section 3.5 Cultural Resources, impacts to both biological resources and cultural resources would remain less than significant with adherence to regulatory compliance measures. Implementation of the proposed Project would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, or reduce the number or restrict the range 569

77 of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. 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?)
Less Than Significant Impact. The potential for cumulative impacts occurs when the independent impacts of the Project are combined with the impact of related projects in proximity to the Project such that impacts occur that are greater than the impacts of the Project alone. As discussed above, it has been determined that the Project would have no impact, or impacts would be less than significant.

Since these impacts associated with the proposed Project would not be significant when compared to applicable thresholds, none of the impacts associated with the proposed Project would make cumulatively considerable, incremental contributions to significant cumulative impacts. Impacts would be less than significant.
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less than Significant Impact. Effects to human beings are generally associated with air quality, noise, traffic safety, geology/soils, and hazards/hazardous materials. As discussed in the previous environmental topic areas, the Project would not result in significant impacts to human beings because the Proposed Project would not cause significant impacts to air quality, noise, hazards, and traffic that would impact humans in the area. The impacts to human beings as a result of the Project would be less than significant.
