• Since 2015, GASB 68
has required disclosing
Net Pension Liability on financial
statements as a line item on the
balance sheet
• Before the concept of pension
prefunding, the only way to
reduce retirement system
unfunded liabilities was to send
additional contributions in
excess of annual required
employer contributions
• Pension trust prefunding
assets can be transferred to
the retirement system at the
Agency’s direction, which can
help offset future rate increases
(i.e., pension rate stabilization).

Why Prefund Pension Obligations?
Complete Local Control over Assets
Agency has complete control over assets, including contributions, disbursements and the timing, amount, and risk tolerance level of investments
1. Pension Rate Stabilization
Assets can be transferred to the retirement system at the Agency’s direction, potentially reducing/eliminating large fluctuations in employer contribution amounts
2. Rainy Day Fund
Emergency source of funds when employer revenues are strained in difficult budgetary or economic times
3. Diversification
Allows for investment flexibility and offers the potential for assets to earn greater returns than the general fund; spread the risk vs. sending additional money to CalPERS

TITLE
Annual Impact Fee Inflation Adjustment
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu'on of the City Council of the City of American Canyon adop'ng the annual Infla'onadjustment to the Traffic Impact Fee, Water Capacity Fee, Wastewater Capacity Fee, Parks and Recreation Fee, Civic Facilities Fee, General Plan Update Fee, and Affordable Housing Nexus Fee.
CONTACT
Brent Cooper, AICP, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
American Canyon collects “Impact Fees” to fund infrastructure required to serve new development.
The City’s impact fees consist of a Traffic Impact Fee, Water and Wastewater Capacity Fee, Parks and Recrea'on Fee, Civic Facili'es Fee, General Plan Update Fee, and an Affordable Housing Nexus Fee.
Over 'me, infla'on erodes the “buying power” of impact fees. To counteract this effect, the City adjusts these fees based upon the latest available specific cost infla'on factors. These infla'on factors are identified in the Attachment 2.
The Council’s most recent impact fee adjustment was approved on December 21, 2021. To ensure buying power is sustained over time, an annual inflation adjustment for each impact fee is presented each year as a housekeeping matter. The proposed Impact Fees are included as Attachment 3.
Citywide Impact Fees
Traffic Impact Fee
The Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) funds transporta'on improvements iden'fied in the Circula'on Element pursuant to ACMC 15.12.050.
Water and Wastewater Capacity Fees
Water and Wastewater capacity fees are collected for the purpose of construc'ng and/or improving water, recycled water, and wastewater facili'es necessary to meet the demand of new development, pursuant to ACMC 13.06.090 and ACMC 14.06.060 respectively. 50 Parks & Recreation, Civic Facility, and General Plan Update Fee These fees are collected for the purpose of construc'ng new park, recrea'on, civic facili'es and general plan update funds necessary to meet the demand of new development, pursuant to ACMC
15.08.050. Unlike the Civic Facility and General Plan Update Fees, the Parks & Recrea'on impact fee only applies to new residential development.
Affordable Housing Nexus Fee (ACMC 19.28)
This fee is collected for the purpose of construc'ng new housing that is affordable to lower income residents and is a key implementation policy of the City’s General Plan Housing Element.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Organizational Effectiveness: "Deliver exemplary government services."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Recommended Ac'on will have no direct impact on the General Fund because the proposed adjustments were contemplated in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed impact fee infla'on adjustment is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sec'on 15060(c)(2) because the ac'vity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment; and Sec'on 15060(c)(3) because the ac'vity is not a project as defined in Sec'on 15378 of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regula'ons, Title 14, Chapter 3 because it has no poten'al for resul'ng in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. In addi'on, the impact fee infla'on adjustment is not a project under CEQA Guidelines Sec'on 15061(b)(3) because it has no poten'al for causing a significant effect on the environment. Moreover, the infla'on adjustment is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sec'on 15378(b)(4) because it is a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.

TITLE
Partial Acceptance of the Public Improvements associated with the Canyon Estates Project
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu-on for par-al acceptance of the public improvements associated with the Canyon Estates Project.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, Public Works Director
Edison Bisnar, Engineer III
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On February 16, 2016, the City Council approved the Residen-al Design Guidelines and Ves-ng Tenta-ve Subdivision Map of Canyon Estates property to create 35 lots for custom or semi-custom homes, at Newell Drive in American Canyon (Resolu-on 2016-20), Exhibit A. On February 22, 2021, staff approved the Canyon Estates Improvement and Grading Plans.
As of November 15, 2022, all public improvements are complete in accordance with the approved improvement plans, except the Newell Drive Improvements which consist of new crosswalk striping, installa-on of new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, new sidewalk and landscaping. The reason for the delay in comple-ng the Newell Drive Improvements is the long lead -me in procuring the flashing beacons. In addition, the pump station is not complete for the reasons noted below.
Because most of the public improvements have been completed, it is recommended that they be accepted into the City’s system for opera-on and maintenance. The following are the completed public improvements associated with the Canyon Estates Project:
1. On-site water system
2. On-site sewer system
3. Relocated 18” recycled water main from Newell Drive up to the existing recycled water tank.
4. New 18” potable water main for future zone 1 water system.
5. New 18” potable water main for future zone 5 water system.
6. New access road from Newell Drive up to existing recycled water tank.
Of note, Special Condi-on of Approval #44e requires the construc-on of a potable water pump 59 sta-on which is not yet complete. For now, potable water is provided by the City of Vallejo - in conjunc-on with a recently ra-fied temporary agreement that contemplates the construc-on of the pump sta-on. American Canyon's long-standing agreement with Vallejo provides for the permanent provision of potable water; however, this agreement is the subject of on-going li-ga-on between the parties.
FISCAL IMPACT
The developer has provided financial security guaranteeing the construc-on of a ll required public improvements - including the pump sta-on - in the form of a self-renewing leEer of credit. These securities will not be released until all of the public improvements are complete.
All costs associated with the opera-on and maintenance of the public facili-es will be the responsibility of the city.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Project was presented at a no-ced public hearing held on January 20, 2015. The Planning Commission adopted Resolu-on 2015-05 recommending that the City Council adopt the Mi-ga-on Monitoring and Reporting Program.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to divide the Canyon Estates property to create 35 lots for custom or semi -custom homes, and the Canyon Estates Residential Design Guidelines; and WHEREAS, a duly -noticed public hearing was held by the City of American Canyon City Council on February 16, 2016 on the subject application, at which time all those in attendance were given the opportunity to speak on this proposal;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of American Canyon hereby approves the Canyon Estates Vesting Tentative Map and Residential Design Guidelines, subject to the following Findings and Conditions of Approval.
SECTION 1. FINDINGS
1. The subdivision is substantially consistent with the project evaluated in the Negative Declaration for the overall project approved January 2015 in conjunction with the General Plan Amendment, prezoning and initiation of annexation for the Canyon Estates project; and no further environmental review is needed; and
1 62
2. American Canyon Municipal Code ( ACMC) Section 18. 22.055 provides that the planning commission shall not recommend approval and the city council shall not approve a tentative subdivision map if any of the following findings are made:
A. That the proposed tentative subdivision map is not consistent with the city' s general plan or its elements or other applicable plans;
The proposed map is consistent with the General Plan because it will provide individual lots with adequate access and utility services to be developed with custom or semi -custom homes and the subdivision design and the Residential Design Guidelines are consistent with and implement the General Plan policies for Residential Estate ( RE) development in hillside areas, as analyzed in the staff reportfor this project.
B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with the city' s general plan or its elements or any other applicable plans;
The proposed improvements for the subdivision are consistent with the City' s General Plan, including the size of individual lots, setbacks of residential buildings from the electrical transmission line easement, and the provision of two points of access to the subdivision, as analyzed in the staff report for this project. in order to more fully comply with the requirements to " maximize long range views of the community and surrounding landscape, the maximum building heights of 13 lots are reduced from what was proposed by the applicant.
C. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed; The subdivision site is physically suitable for the type of development because it is adjacent to existing residential development, the subdivision is designed to protect Newell Creek and its major tributary which runs through the site, and is designed to provide large lots for estate development with views of the Napa River area.
D. That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development proposed; The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because the density of development will comply with the limits set out in the General Plan and can be improved and provided with necessary utilities to serve the future development. There are no geologic conditions which would prevent the intended development, and the site is of sufficient size to provide a conservation area to offset the proposed development.
E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; The subdivision and related improvements would not adversely affect wildlife habitat areas, as described in the initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Canyon Estates General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, and Annexation, dated August 2014 and approved by the City Council in January of 2015. Adequate setbacks are maintained from Newell Creek and its tributary, and a conservation easement will be place over most of the 74 acres of upland area.
F. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems;
2 63
The subdivision improvements are consistent with the improvements provided for other development in the City and are not likely to cause serious health problems.
G. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the city council may approve a tentative subdivision map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to one previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is granted to the city council to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision;
There are no public access easements within the subdivision site which would be affected and the subdivision includes the dedication ofpublic trails east of the subdivision.
H. That the discharge of waste water, including sewage and stormwater runoff, from the proposed subdivision would result in a violation of existing water quality requirements prescribed by the regional water quality control board.
The conditions of approval will require the completion of infrastructure improvements that would accommodate sewage and stormwater runoff in compliance with water quality requirements, as shown in the Vesting Tentative Map.
Because none of the findings to disapprove the proposed subdivision can be made, the Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map (PL15- 0004) is approved, subject to the following conditions.
SECTION 2. INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with American Canyon Municipal Code ( ACMC) Section 19. 28.050 provides that the City Council approves the payment of inclusionary housing in -lieu fees as an alternative to providing the ten percent low-income units within the Canyon Estates subdivision because the Council finds thatthe provision of on- site inclusionary units is infeasible for this subdivision for the following reasons:
The developer cost to complete these 35 very large hillside lots comes to over $450,000 per lot; this figure is more than double what a lower-income family could afford to pay for both the finished lot and the home to be built on it.
2. The annual maintenance costs assessed by the HOA to each lot in this project is estimated at $ 10,000 per lot, or equivalent to nearly half of the entire housing budget for a lower-income family offour.
3. If 4 of the lots were discounted to sell at roughly $80,000 each (one-third of what a lower-income family could pay), the result would be to inflate the market price for remaining 31 finished lots in Canyon Estates to roughly $600,000 — a level substantially beyond the threshold of marketfeasibility. 3 64

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City is in need of a comprehensive Storm Drain Master Plan that iden-fies exis-ng system deficiencies and poten-al solu-ons to address these deficiencies. In addi-on to exis-ng concerns, a comprehensive Plan will provide a founda-on for both near and long-term planning, capital improvement programming, proposed General Plan development and a poten-al drainage impact fee on new private development.
The City has completed various drainage studies over the years. The first Citywide Storm Drain Master Plan was prepared for the City by West Yost Associates (WYA) in 1996 and following that study a Storm Drain Master Plan for Rio Del Mar was prepared by Winzler & Kelly (W&K) in 2007.
The WYA study focused on the drainage capacity for streams, creeks and open channels. The W&K study was limited to the Rio Del Mar subdivision. While both these studies are helpful and will provide a firm founda-on for a new Storm Drain Master Plan, neither of them covered all of the elements in which the City is now interested.
On July 3, 2018, the City Council approved the selec-on of Coastland Civil Engineering, Inc. (Coastland) as one of several firms for on-call professional services agreements to assist City staff with various engineering and staff augmenta-on services. Coastland's extensive experience with the City reviewing private development projects and their knowledge of exis-ng storm water deficiencies gives them a unique advantage for comple-ng the comprehensive storm drain plan and should hit the ground running once a no-ce to proceed is issued. Their on-going work includes reviewing development applica-ons, building permit applica-ons, civil improvement plans, construction inspections, and assisting with water supply determinations. 83 FISCAL IMPACT
The Storm Drain Master Plan (PW22-0100) has an adopted FY22/23 budget of $50,000 from Fund 210 (Measure A). There is sufficient funding available in Fund 210 to increase the capital project budget by $146,397 to an amount not to exceed $196,397.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Recommended Ac-on is not a “project” subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Revised November 9, 2022
Ms. Erica Ahman-Smithies
Director of Public Works
City of American Canyon
4381 Broadway Street, Suite 201
American Canyon, CA 94503
Subject: Revised Proposal for Storm Drainage Master Plan Dear Erica,
In response to your request and our recent discussions, we are pleased to present this revised letter proposal for professional engineering services associated with providing a Storm Drain Master Plan for the City covering the existing City and proposed General Plan development. We have enjoyed working with you and for the City and are excited about this opportunity to work on this important project.
Several drainage studies covering all or portions of American Canyon have been previously completed.
However, none of the studies included all elements of the City drainage system and they were performed at different times and therefore included different conditions and assumptions. Therefore, the City does not have a comprehensive Strom Drain Master Plan. Much of the City is relatively flat and lies close to tidal waterways, making drainage challenging. There are also older areas of the City with little or no developed drainage system. The City would like to have a Storm Drain Master Plan prepared that identifies system deficiencies and potential solutions to address these deficiencies.
Although the City has reasonable records of construction projects that have occurred since its incorporation, the records associated with the older, pre-annexation infrastructure are incomplete. The City does not have a GIS drainage layer or other city-wide topographic information to use as a basis for the Storm Drain Master Plan.
The City has older utility base maps, including a drainage base map in AutoCAD that will be useful in preparing the new Storm Drain Master Plan There are several drainage studies including the Citywide Storm Drain Master Plan prepared for the City by West Yost Associates (WYA) in 1996 and the Storm Drain Master Plan for Rio Del Mar prepared by Winzler & Kelly (W&K) in 2007. The WYA study focused on the drainage capacity for streams, creeks and open channels. The W&K study was limited to the Rio Del Mar subdivision. Both of these studies will help provide a foundation for the new Storm Drain Master Plan, however neither of them covered all of the elements in which the City is now interested. In particular, an analysis of the City’s pipe network(s) is needed to provide a complete overview of the City drainage system.
Although additional funding may be available if needed, the target budget for the project is approximately $150,000. Identifying areas subject to flooding or with inadequate drainage systems is the City’s priority for this project. The City has expressed an interest in having a GIS layer developed for their drainage 87 July 7, 2022

system. Although this is a service Coastland can provide, we do not feel it is achievable with the budget for the project. Our base mapping work will be value added towards the development of a GIS base layer, but we feel this is better pursued after the completion of the Storm Drain Master plan as an independent project.
Based on our familiarity with the City and its storm drainage system over the last 15 years along with our understanding outlined above, we have developed the following approach to the project and scope of services to provide the desired elements of a drainage master plan in consideration of the available budget.
PROJECT APPROACH
Our overall approach to the project will be to work closely with the City as an extension of City staff. We will communicate frequently and clearly about our work and key decisions to be made throughout the project.
This will be critical to providing the City’s desired product within the budget.
Most drainage master plans are based on accurate, available topographic survey data or include the field survey work to collect this information. No such data is available, and the budget is not sufficient to include the collection as part of our work. We note that detailed topographic survey data is most important to the modeling of the open channel elements of the drainage system, which was completed by WYA as part of their 1996 study. Our approach will be to use the information from the WYA study as the basis for our hydraulic modeling. We will do this by using this WYA data as the basis of the water surface elevations at the pipe outfalls. We will then perform backwater calculations working upstream from the outfalls as the basis of the hydraulic modeling of the closed pipe network from these. We plan to use record drawings, County Lidar, and other available information to build a model of the existing closed conduit drainage system. Once we have completed our configuration of the network based on available information, we will meet with the City to review options for obtaining missing information, the value of that information in completing the project, and decide what additional work the City may want to authorize to complete a satisfactory model. Options could range from eliminating certain areas from study, making mutually agreed upon assumptions, or utilizing field surveys or gather methods to acquire the missing data.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 – General Meetings and Project Management
We will conduct a project kick-off meeting with City staff to discuss the project in detail and collect all available background material. We will collaborate with the City to identify problems or critical areas of concern relative to storm drainage and flooding. We will also review the existing storm drainage master plan base map to confirm existing facilities and any modifications necessary to create an accurate and reliable reference document.
Once the project is under way, we propose to have up to three meetings with Public Works staff to review maps, data, calculations, and assumptions.
Task 2 – Data Gathering, Compilation, and Field Reconnaissance We will meet with Public Works field staff to discuss their observations of problems during storm runoff or flood events to gain additional, first-hand insight into existing problems. We will also collect all City record drawings and other documentations regarding the existing City drainage system. We will make site visits to field-verify existing facilities in areas with known or suspected problems.
Task 3 – Network Configuration, Hydrology and Hydraulic Modeling 88 July 7, 2022
Ms. Erica Ahman-Smithies
Many of the newer portions of the City have had hydrology and hydraulic studies performed as part of the approval process. These calculations have been reviewed, approved and archived by the City. Obtaining such information from the City will provide an efficient means of obtaining significant amounts of information that can be applied directly to the Storm Drain Master Plan update and avoid duplicating the work of these recent drainage studies.
After all available information from the City has been collected, we will incorporate the data into the Citywide storm drain base map. This base map will use existing AutoCAD mapping from the City’s drainage system. We will use record drawing information to add new system elements that were added since the base mapping was last updated. We anticipate that we will be able to use either Lidar data from the County or elevations from Google to help verify record drawing and base map data and to add additional topographic information. The available topographic (from the County or Google) information is not designlevel topography but should be sufficient for Master Plan purposes.
We will take available information from past studies, as well as develop drainage subbasins for undeveloped areas to create an overall watershed/hydrology map for the City. The map will include melding the information from existing studies into the overall hydrology map to minimize the redundancy of the work.
We anticipate using available as-built information to determine locations, sizes, and slopes of as much of the existing system as possible.
Undoubtedly, there will be some supplemental surveying that will be needed to pick up information where as-built plans are not available or where more detail is needed. Unfortunately, the scope of the surveying work will not be able to be determined until the mapping is well underway. We have included an allowance for surveying which we estimate would cover between 150 and 200 structures, which would equate to approximately 12% of the system. Our plan is to revisit the scope and budget for this task with the City once mapping is substantially complete and determine the amount of survey data the City would like to authorize.
To help ensure a high-value study, we will discuss options with the City at this point including eliminating the study of portions of the system where recent hydrology and hydraulic studies have been completed, the system has been constructed according to those studies and no known drainage deficiencies exist.
After completion of the system base map and hydrology map, we will develop an overall hydraulic model for the storm drain system using StormCAD software and perform an initial model run.
Once any supplemental surveying is completed and incorporated into the preliminary hydraulic model, we will complete development of an overall hydraulic model for the City. When a draft of the model is complete, we will meet with the City to compare results for known problem areas to ensure that the model represents a realistic picture of existing conditions, as well as for development areas. We anticipate some level of field verification will be needed prior to completion of the model. We will then re-run the model and share results with the City. City review of the model at this point is important to ensure results correlate with the City’s experience. Any deviations between experience and results will be discussed and the model re-run if/as needed.
Task 4 – Project Identification and Scoping
Upon completion of the preliminary modeling, we will identify any problem areas. We will discuss a broad range of possible solutions (e.g., larger pipes, parallel piping, construction of detention basins at key locations to alleviate downstream flooding issues), as well as policies (e.g., drainage impact fees, standard conditions of approval for new development to limit post-development flows to pre-development flows.) We anticipate the solutions will include proposed pipe sizes and approximate sizing for any larger detention ponds.
89 July 7, 2022
Ms. Erica Ahman-Smithies
We will meet with the City to review the comprehensive list of potential solutions. Based on input from the City, we will then develop a list of proposed projects to resolve drainage issues. We will develop cost estimates for all proposed major improvements. The cost estimates will be incorporated into recommended Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) both for inclusion within the City’s CIP (for solutions to resolve existing problems), as well as for consideration into a drainage impact fee (for those future projects that will be needed to mitigate anticipated development.)
Task 5 – Final Report
Upon completion of Tasks 1 through 4, we will draft an overall final Drainage Master Plan. The report will incorporate all mapping, findings, recommendations and costs estimates, as well as appendices with all hydraulic and hydrology information. The summary report will be provided to the City in draft form for review.
We anticipate providing the draft for the City to review, then once comments are compiled, we would like to meet with City staff to review all comments. We will take all comments and incorporate any changes into the final document. We will provide the City with digital copies of the report, as well as all mapping developed with the report.
Task 6 – Supplemental Data Gathering
We have included an allowance to cover a limited amount of field surveying. Although the exact amount of additional data cannot be determined until all of the available data is gathered and analyzed, in on our experience we believe this estimate is adequate to provide enough sufficient additional data to allow us to complete the project.
Work associated with this task could include field surveys to collect storm water assets such as manholes, inlets, catch basins, outfalls, pipe size (including geometry and material type) and any other pertinent information. In addition, photos could be taken of each of the assets to document its location and condition.
Each structure can also be field located using GPS technology that will tie to any existing City GIS map.
Please note that the field work will not include surveying any open channels.
The daily rate for a two-person survey crew would be approximately $3,200. A two-man conventional survey crew would be expected to be able to cover anywhere between 8 and 40 points in a day, depending on proximity, traffic, and other field conditions. Based on the project, we estimate that 25 to 30 points per day would be a reasonable average. The data collected would include the items listed above. As an optional service, we have included additional survey and supporting civil engineering work to gather additional field data. The allowance of $24,430 would provide for the collection of field survey data on an estimated 150 to 200 additional drainage structures.
Task 7 – Design Contingency
Our Work Estimate also includes a 15% budget contingency. We believe having a design contingency for this type of project is important due to the difficulty in determine all of the availability of data, the system elements needed to be analyzed, and to weigh the value between making reasonable assumptions compared to performing additional analysis to elements of the system. We recommend that the budget be authorized to include this amount, but the authority be given to the Public Works Director to authorize - in writing - the use of a portion or all of this contingency in the event they determine that additional work is needed to meet the requirements of the project.
We have included the following assumptions and exclusions in preparing the scope of work for this proposal.
90 July 7, 2022
Ms. Erica Ahman-Smithies
Assumptions:
• Our drainage calculations will be based on the 1995 City of American Canyon Standards and the assumed downstream water surface elevations outlined in the WYA, W&K, FEMA or other relevant studies performed by or for the City.
• The City has record drawings, base maps, or other available information, including rim, TC and invert elevations as well as pipe material, size and slope that we can utilize to complete the storm drain base mapping.
• Any supplemental field investigation and/or survey work required to complete the base mapping can be accomplished within the allowance included in our work estimate. • Lidar elevation data is available from the County with one-foot contour intervals.
Exclusions:
• Water quality analysis and NPDES permit compliance
• Hydraulic analysis or modeling of open channels, creeks or streams • Geotechnical investigations
• Environmental studies
PROJECT FEE
As shown in the attached work estimate, we anticipate that we will spend up to 873 total hours performing the work as described in the scope of work in this proposal. We propose to provide these services on a time and materials basis with a not-to-exceed budget $170,780. In addition, we have also included a 15% design contingency of $26,617 to be authorized in writing by the Public Works Director, at her discretion.
The recommended total budget authorization for the project is $196,397. A current rate sheet is attached.
If additional work is necessary that exceeds this amount or falls outside this scope of work, we can work with you to amend the budget and obtain written authorization before proceeding.
George Hicks, PE, Supervising Engineer and Manager of Coastland’s Fairfield office, will be the City’s main point of contact for this project. George has over 35 years of experience in the public works field with over 25 as City Engineer/Director of Public Works. His experience in drainage systems and studies and the necessary elements of a meaningful master plan will a benefit to the City on this project. George and his team will be supported by Coastland Principal, Paul Wade who also has a wealth of experience including an intimate knowledge of American Canyon’s drainage system.
We hope this proposal meets your expectations. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, you can reach George at (707) 580-4722 or [email protected] or John at (707) 636-7023 or [email protected]. We thank you for this opportunity and look forward to working with you.

TITLE
Contract award for 189 Theresa Avenue Demolition (CF23-0200)
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu1on authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Cal, Inc. for the 189 Theresa Avenue Demolition Project (CF23-0200) for an amount not to exceed $100,000.
CONTACT
Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
On June 7, 2011, City Council adopted Resolu1on No. 2011-38 authorizing the intent to purchase the property 189 Theresa Avenue, APN 058-082-002 and including escrow expenses for the amount of $160,000. The property was purchased to streamline right-of-way property acquisi1on to construct a new sidewalk across this property funded with a Safe Routes to School Grant.
On the morning of August 24, 2014, a 6.0 earthquake struck American Canyon and other por1ons of south Napa County. It was determined post-earthquake that the West Napa Fault runs through the 189 Theresa Avenue property and the damage to the home was significant enough that the structure needed to be condemned.
The 189 Theresa Avenue Demoli1on Project (CF23-0200) will include the demoli1on of the condemned structure at 189 Theresa Avenue. In addi1on to demoli1on, there will be hazardous material testing and likely hazardous material abatement needs to coincide with this project.
City staff solicited proposals from three separate specialized vendors that do demoli1on and hazardous materials abatement. The City received two proposals and selected Cal, Inc. as the most responsive. Cal, Inc.'s proposal for the demoli1on, permits and ini1al hazardous survey is for an amount of $32,828.
The amount of hazardous material abatement needed onsite is currently unknown; therefore, staff is recommending a 50% con1ngency to be built into the agreement for a total not to exceed amount of $65,000. The con1ngency within the contract will not be u1lized unless it has been confirmed that there are hazardous materials. The addi1onal work within the con1ngency will be authorized by 93 the Public Works Director prior to work commencing, similar to a contract change order.

ITEM NUMBER: 14.
TITLE
Water Conservation Plan Update Municipal Code Second Reading
RECOMMENDATION
Wave second reading and adopt an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of American Canyon modifying Chapter 13.14.01 through 13.14.140 of the American Canyon Municipal Code Water Conservation Plan.
CONTACT
Felix Hernandez, III, Maintenance and Utilities Director Dominic Patrick, Water Systems Manager
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
Background
City Municipal Code Water Conservation Plan
In response to the severe drought of 2012-2016, new legisla6on in 2018 created a Water Shortage Con6ngency Plan (WSCP) mandate replacing the water shortage con6ngency analysis under former law. The new requirements are more prescrip6ve to have consistency throughout California. The City Municipal Code Water Conserva6on Plan Chapter 13.14 (A;achment 1) serves as the City’s WSCP and may be amended as needed without amending the 2020 Urban Water Master Plan (UWMP). Redlines to the Water Conserva6on Plan Ordinance (A;achment 2) meet new requirements to the new legislation in 2018.
Analysis
The City’s WSCP details the stages of ac6ons to be taken during a reduc6on in available water supply. These ac6ons are broken up based upon six possible stages of water shortage. Reduc6ons in supply are most frequently associated with drought, but could also be the result of flooding, major fire emergencies, earthquakes, regional power outages, water contamina6on, and any other situations that could impact the City’s water supply.
The goal of a WSCP is to have a procedure for managing and mi6ga6ng shortages allowing the city to respond in an efficient and 6mely manner. Water shortage response ac6ons include demand reduc6on, supply augmenta6on, opera6onal changes, and mandatory prohibi6ons to address shortage levels. The six stages of ac6on in response to water supply shortages, including greater 107
than 50 percent reduc6on in water supply are summarized in table 8-1 of the 2020 UWMP water shortage contingency plan levels (Attachment 3).
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Infrastructure: "Develop and maintain infrastructure resources to support sustainable growth."
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the Municipal Code Water Conservation Plan Update.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
15378(b) - The ac6on is not a "Project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it does not qualify as a "Project" under Public Resources Code Sec6ons 21065 and 21080 and in Section 15378(b) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.

Chapter 13.14 WATER CONSERVATION PLAN
13.14.010 Title.
This chapter shall be known as the “Water Conservation Plan” of the city of American Canyon and may be so cited. This chapter serves as the city’s water shortage contingency plan. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.020 Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this chapter is to have a plan for water conservation resulting from a reduced supply of water such as may result from drought, water supply shortages, or limitations of water delivery conditions.
Nothing in this chapter will preclude the city council from passing an emergency resolution for the immediate curtailment of water use by its customers due to water supply shortages and delivery limitations caused by catastrophic events and conditions, either natural or unnatural.
In the event any provision of this chapter conflicts or overlaps with any mandatory state regulation related to water conservation, the most stringent shall apply. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.030 Definitions.
The terms used in this chapter shall have the following meanings:

“Customer” means any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation, company, organization, property, or governmental entity, whether within or outside the geographic boundaries of the city of American Canyon, who uses water supplied by the city.
“Essential water use” means water necessary for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection.
All other uses of water that are not specifically required to meet these needs shall be considered nonessential. “GPD” means gallons per day.
“Low-flow toilet” means a toilet that uses no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush or less. “Manager” is the city manager of the city of American Canyon. “Nonresidential uses” means all other uses not classified as residential pursuant to ACMC 19.05.040. “Ornamental (or decorative)” means a water feature where artificially supplied open water performs solely an aesthetic function. Ornamental (or decorative) water features do not include recreational water features, such as swimming pools and spas.
“Maintenance and Utilities Director” is the public works department head of the city of American Canyon.
“Recycled water” means water treated in accordance with Title 22, Section 60301 et seq., of the California Code of Regulations and suitable for reuse under the circumstances outlined. “Residential uses” means all those uses classified as residential pursuant to ACMC 19.05.040. “Turf” means a species of grass that was developed to be used as a lawn together with the surface layer of earth held together by its roots.
“Water” means potable water. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.040 Authorization.
The manager or designee is authorized and directed to implement the applicable provisions of this chapter upon adoption of a city council resolution determining that such implementation is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.050 Application
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all persons, customers and properties served by the city including expressly those outside the geographic boundaries of the city of American Canyon. (Ord. 2015- 07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.060 Water waste prohibitions.
The following uses of water are defined as “waste of water” and are absolutely prohibited:
A. Failing to repair a leak and/or otherwise permit the escape of water through breaks or leaks within the customer’s plumbing or private distribution system for any substantial period of time 113
within which such break or leak should reasonably have been discovered and corrected. It shall be presumed that a period of seventy-two hours after the customer discovers such a break or leak or receives notice from the city, is a reasonable time within which to correct such a break or leak or, at a minimum, to stop the flow of water from such break or leak.
B. Use water to irrigate grass, lawns, groundcover, shrubbery, crops, trees or other vegetation or in such a manner as to result in runoff to any gutter, ditch, drain or impermeable surface. Every customer is deemed to have his or her water system under control at all times, to know the manner and extent of his or her water use and any run-off, and to employ available alternatives to apply irrigation water in an efficient manner.
C. Washing cars, boats, trailers or other vehicles and machinery directly with a hose not equipped with a shutoff nozzle.
D. Water for non-recycling decorative water fountains.
E. Water for single-pass evaporative cooling systems for air conditioning in all connections installed after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, unless required for health or safety reasons.
F. Water for non-recirculating conveyor car wash systems, industrial clothes wash systems, and/or other commercial purposes for which recirculated or recycled water can safely and effectively serve the same purpose.
G. Water for the irrigation of turf for nonresidential uses.
H. Water for the flushing of toilets for nonresidential uses with the exception of water for flushing low-flow toilets and/or as provided by Section 13.14.110.
I. The use of water for earth compaction, dust control, or other construction use, including the testing of new sewer lines unless the water is obtained from a source expressly approved by the Maintenance and Utilities Director; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, that water may be used for purposes of testing new water service lines.
J. Withdrawal of water from fire hydrants within the service area of the city, except for purposes of fire-fighting, water system maintenance, and other uses as permitted by the city.
K. All restaurants, hotels, cafés, cafeterias, bars, or other public places where food or drink are served and/or purchased are to serve water to customers only when specifically requested by the customer.
L. All hotels and motels shall provide guests with the option of choosing not to have towels and linens laundered daily. The hotel or motel shall prominently display notice of this option in each guestroom using clear and easily understood language.
M. The irrigation with water of landscapes outside of newly constructed homes and buildings in a manner inconsistent with Chapter 16.14.
114
N. Use of water that is inconsistent with state or federal regulations. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.065 Recycled water service required.
Following a public hearing, the city’s nonresidential water customers whose properties may be served by recycled water shall connect their property to recycled water for those uses for which the use of potable domestic water would be deemed a waste or unreasonable use of water as specified in Division 7, Chapter 7, of the California Water Code (Section 13550 et seq.). Recycled water customers shall pay for recycled water at the rate established by the city council.
Upon written notification from the city, new development shall construct the infrastructure to accept recycled water from the city. New development shall pay any applicable recycled water connection fees at the rate established by the city council.
Upon written notification from the city, new development abutting on any street in which there is now or may in the future be located a public recycled water line, is required to connect the property directly to the recycled water line, provided that the public recycled water line is within two hundred feet of the nearest point of the property. The expense to extend the public recycled water line and associated appurtenances to and across the street frontage is the sole responsibility of the developer.
Upon written notification from the city, new development abutting on any street in which there may be located a public recycled water line in the future is required to construct the recycled water line and associated appurtenances along the street frontage at the developer’s sole expense, including the new development’s connection thereto.
Failure of a water customer to accept service of recycled water when it is made available, where use of potable water would otherwise be deemed a waste or unreasonable use of water, may be grounds for termination of the customer’s potable water service.
Failure of a recycled water customer to comply with the city’s conditions for recycled water use shall be deemed a violation and shall be subject to enforcement as outlined in Section 13.14.120.
Water customers may appeal the city’s determination that recycled water of suitable quality is available as outlined in Section 13.14.110. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.070 Water conservation stages.
The intent of this section is to provide for the escalation of customer demand management strategies that may be necessary due to an emergency caused by drought and/or water supply shortages. There are six stages of strategies, each of which builds upon its predecessor stage and are to be implemented as the severity of conditions increase. Stage 6 can be implemented at any time due to catastrophic events and conditions, either natural or unnatural, including flooding, major fire emergencies, earthquakes, regional power outages, water contamination, and emergencies other than water shortage. No customer of the city shall make, cause, use, or permit the use of water from the city for residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, governmental, or any other purpose in a manner contrary to any provision of this chapter, or in an amount in excess of what is permitted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The reductions shall be based upon the amount of water used during that base period defined as the amount of water used on a customer’s property during the corresponding monthly billing period in the previous year, or other year as may be designated by the 115
city council. New services or services without a base year billing history shall be allotted on comparable customer usage.
A. Stage 1. Voluntary Conservation. The intent of Stage 1 is to achieve an overall system-wide demand reduction of ten percent. The city council may by resolution declare a “Drought Emergency Stage 1 (Voluntary Conservation)” upon recommendation by the manager and based on water supply and delivery projections by the Maintenance and Utilities Director, that an overall system-wide reduction of ten percent is necessary. During Stage 1, all water customers of the city shall be requested to implement the following best practices:
1. Apply irrigation water only during the evening and early morning hours to reduce evaporation losses.
2. Utilize water conservation incentive, rebate and giveaway programs to replace water guzzling plumbing fixtures and appliances with water efficient models.
3. Utilize city information regarding using water efficiently, reading water meters, repairing ordinary leaks, and water efficient landscape.
4. Wash automobiles, trucks, trailers, boats, airplanes, and other types of mobile equipment during the evening and early morning hours to reduce evaporation losses. Such washing shall be done with a hand-held bucket, or hand-held hose equipped with a positive shutoff nozzle used for quick rinses.
5. Reduce monthly demand by ten percent when compared to the same time period in the established base year.
B. Stage 2. Mandatory Compliance—Water Alert. The intent of Stage 2 is to achieve an overall system-wide demand reduction of twenty percent. The city council may by resolution declare a “Drought Emergency Stage 2 (Mandatory Compliance—Water Alert)” upon recommendation by the manager and based on water supply and delivery projections by the Maintenance and Utilities Director, that an overall system-wide reduction of twenty percent is necessary. In addition to the mandatory twenty percent reduction for each water customer, and in addition to the requirements in Stage 1, the following activities shall be prohibited:
1. Gardening and landscape irrigation utilizing individual sprinklers or sprinkler systems on lawns, gardens, landscaped areas, trees, shrubs, or other plants except as expressly provided for by resolution of the city council.
2. The washing of automobiles, trucks, trailers, boats, airplanes, and other types of mobile equipment except as expressly allowed by the adoption of a resolution by city council.
3. The washing of sidewalks, driveways, parking areas, tennis courts, patios, or other paved areas except as expressly allowed by the adoption of a resolution by city council.
4. The irrigation of turf on street medians with water.
5. The use of water to fill a new or existing swimming pool, spa, pond, or similar recreational basin of water.
6. The operation of any ornamental fountain or other structure making similar or otherwise ornamental use of water outside.
116
C. Stage 3. Mandatory Compliance—Water Emergency. The intent of Stage 3 is to achieve an overall system-wide demand reduction of thirty percent. The city council may, by resolution, declare a “Drought Emergency Stage 3 (Mandatory Compliance—Water Emergency)” upon recommendation by the manager and based on water supply and delivery projections by the Maintenance and Utilities Director, that an overall system-wide demand reduction of thirty percent is necessary. In addition to a mandatory reduction of thirty percent for each water customer, and in addition to the requirements in Stages 1 and 2, the following activities shall be prohibited:
1. Planting any new landscaping, except for native, drought tolerant species as defined by Chapter 16.22.
D. Stage 4. Mandatory Compliance—Critical Water Emergency. The intent of Stage 4 is to achieve an overall system-wide demand reduction of forty percent. The city council may, by resolution, declare a “Drought Emergency Stage 4 (Mandatory Compliance—Critical Water Emergency)” upon recommendation by the manager and based on water supply and delivery projections by the Maintenance and Utilities Director, that an overall system-wide demand reduction of forty percent is necessary. In addition to the mandatory conservation goals for each water customer, and in addition to the requirements in Stages 1, 2, and 3, the following activities shall be prohibited:
1. Residential development unless the developer has submitted a complete building permit application to the City prior to the Stage 4 declaration. Building permit applications may proceed with a deferral of landscape installation, until the water shortage level has been lifted.
2. Linen/towel exchanges more frequently than once every three nights or for the entire stay, whichever is shorter, except for health and safety.
E. Stage 5. Mandatory Compliance—Severe Water Emergency. The intent of Stage 5 is to achieve an overall system-wide demand reduction of fifty percent. The city council may, by resolution, declare a “Drought Emergency Stage 5 (Mandatory Compliance—Severe Water Emergency)” upon recommendation by the manager and based on water supply and delivery projections by the Maintenance and Utilities Director, that an overall system-wide demand reduction of fifty percent is necessary. During Stage 5, mandatory water rationing will occur on a property by property basis. Regardless of water consumption in the prior or other base year, the city council may set water allocation amounts based on minimum health and safety standards. In addition to the mandatory conservation goals for each water customer, and in addition to the requirements in Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4, the following activities shall be prohibited:
1. The use of water outside of a home or business except as expressly provided for by resolution of the city council.
2. Use of water in excess of the allocation to a property. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015) F. Stage 6. Mandatory Compliance—Catastrophic Interruption of Water Supplies. The intent of Stage 6 is to achieve an overall system-wide demand reduction of greater than fifty percent. The city council may, by resolution, declare a “Drought Emergency Stage 6 (Mandatory Compliance— Catastrophic Interruption of Water Supplies)” upon recommendation by the manager and based on water supply and delivery projections by the Maintenance and Utilities Director, that an 117
overall system-wide demand reduction of greater than fifty percent is necessary. In addition to the mandatory conservation goals for each water customer, and in addition to the requirements in Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the following activities shall be prohibited:
1. Non-essential water use. Water use is restricted to essential water uses only.
13.14.080 Mandatory conservation phase implementation.
After the city council, by resolution, declares a Stage 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Drought Emergency, the manager shall order that the appropriate stage of water conservation be implemented in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter. Said order shall be made by public announcement; shall be published a minimum of one time in a daily newspaper of general circulation. The city council shall receive a report at least monthly, noticed on a city council agenda, regarding the city’s water supply situation as long as the drought conditions remain in effect. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.090 Duration of conservation stages.
Mandatory stages shall be effective upon the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter and may be implemented as authorized by city council resolution. Current conservation stages as authorized by city council will be modified at such time that conditions indicate a more or less restrictive stage is necessary. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.100 Drought surcharge.
Customers will receive prior notification of the standard allotment basis, applicable rates, and the opportunity to request exceptions to the standard allotment basis.
Water use beyond the maximum allowed for each water conservation stage shall be subject to a drought surcharge pursuant to the schedule set forth below. The customer of record may request an increase in this basic allotment as set forth in Section 13.14.110 hereof. Application forms and instructions will be available at the American Canyon City Hall.
In addition to the general water service rates, each customer shall pay, during each billing period, a drought surcharge for water delivered in excess of the basic allotment. The surcharge is as follows:
A. Up to 10% in excess of allotment = 1.0 times the applicable volume charge.
B. 10.01% to 20% in excess of allotment = 2.0 times the applicable volume charge.
C. Over 20% in excess of allotment = 3.0 times the applicable volume charge.
Customers whose water usage falls in Tier 1 of the rate schedule are assumed to have maximized their conservation effort and will not be subject to a drought surcharge if their water consumption is not further reduced.
In addition to the drought surcharge, if drought usage exceeds the allowed allotment, a warning will be issued and enforcement actions may be taken as described in Section 13.14.120. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.110 Exceptions and application procedures for exceptions.
All water use associated with the operation and maintenance of fire suppression equipment or employed by the city for water quality flushing and sanitation purposes shall be exempt from the 118
provisions of this chapter. Use of water supplied by a private well or from a rain water utilization system is also exempt.
Any customer of the city may make written application for an exception to uses and activities prohibited by this chapter. Said application shall describe in detail why applicant believes an exception is justified.
A. The manager may grant exceptions for use of water otherwise prohibited or required by this section upon finding and determining that failure to do so would cause an emergency condition affecting the health, sanitation, fire protection or safety of the applicant or public; or, cause an unnecessary and undue hardship on applicant or the public, including, but not limited to, adverse economic impacts, such as loss of production or jobs.
B. In the event of an appeal of a drought surcharge, customers who can clearly demonstrate that they have taken steps to reduce their water consumption (by installing water efficient appliances, drip irrigation, drought tolerant landscaping, etc.) shall be considered favorably in granting waivers.
C. No increase in the basic water allotment shall be granted unless the customer has installed all water-saving devices which are feasible. Water saving devices include: (1) ultra-low flush toilets utilizing 1.6 gallons per flush or less; (2) low-flow shower heads; (3) low-flow faucet restrictors utilizing two gallons per minute or less; (4) drip irrigation systems.
D. The decision of the manager may be appealed to the city council by submitting a written appeal to the city clerk within fifteen calendar days of the date of the decision. Upon granting any appeal, the city council may impose any conditions it determines to be just and proper.
Exceptions granted by the city council shall be prepared in writing and the city council may require the exception be recorded at applicant’s expense. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.120 Violation—Enforcement.
The violation of each provision of this chapter, and each separate violation thereof, shall be deemed a separate offense, and shall be enforced accordingly.
A. Any customer that violates any provision of this chapter shall, in addition to the imposition of the drought surcharge rates of Section 13.14.100 hereof, receive a personal contact by the city at the address of the water service. If personal contact is unsuccessful, written notice of the violation, including a date that the violation is to be corrected, may be left on the premises, with a copy of the notice sent by certified mail to the customer.
B. If after issuance of the written warning, the manager determines that the customer has continued or is continuing to violate the provisions of this chapter, the manager may authorize and implement installation of a flow restricting device on the service line or reduce the amount of water available to the customer. Any costs incurred by the city to authorize and implement the flow restricting device or reduce the amount of water available to the customer shall be borne by the customer. The flow restricting device shall be removed and the prior water supply amount resumed no sooner than sixty days after the date of the installation of the flow restricting device or a reduction in water available, provided that no further violations have occurred within that time.
119
C. If after implementation of a flow restricting device or reduction of water available to a customer, the customer continues to violate the provisions of the chapter, the city may disconnect the service to the customer for a period of three days. All costs or expenses incurred by the city for enforcement of this section shall be borne by the customer.
D. The unauthorized use of water following a disconnection of service pursuant to subsection C above, or any other unauthorized use of water from a fire hydrant or other use bypassing an installed meter, shall be subject to an automatic fine of two thousand five hundred dollars for the first offense and five thousand dollars for the second offense. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.130 Violation—Penalties.
In addition to all other remedies provided herein, any person who violates any provision of this chapter after having received a written notice to refrain as provided in Section 13.14.120, is guilty of an infraction. The violation of each provision of this chapter and each separate violation thereof shall be deemed a separate offense and shall be punishable pursuant to Chapter 1.24. (Ord. 2015-07 § 2, 2015)
13.14.140 Violation—Additional remedy.
As an additional remedy, the violation of any provision of this chapter by any person who has received more than one written warning pursuant to Section 13.14.120 to refrain from the same or any other violation under this chapter in one calendar year shall be deemed and is declared to be, a public nuisance and may be subject to abatement in accordance with Chapter 8.04 of the city of American Canyon Municipal Code.

TITLE
Summary Vacation of Easement
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on of the City Council of the City of American Canyon, authorizing the City Manager to summarily vacate the 20-foot-wide easement described in the Grant of Easement, recorded May 23, 1978, Volume 1082 Page 109 to 111 of Napa County Official Records.

Erica Ahmann Smithies, P.E., Public Works Director
Edison Bisnar, P.E., Engineer III
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
A u*lity easement was originally dedicated to American Canyon County Water District on May 3, 1978, for the purpose of construc*on, opera*on and maintenance of underground sewer lines, and water lines appurtenances under and across a strip of land described in the Grant of Easement recorded May 23, 1978. The easement is within the parcel owned by Right from the Start, Assessor Parcel No. 057-090-008. See Exhibit A. The con*nuous 20-foot wide easement traverses the northern property line to the southern property line at a loca*on approximately 1,600 feet west of the new Devlin Road extension.
On March 22, 2018, the American Canyon Planning Commission approved a Tenta*ve Parcel for the Napa Logis*cs Park Phase 2 Project. Condi*on 39b.6 required the project to construct a new offsite public gravity sewer and pump sta*on that would replace the exis*ng Green Island Pump Sta*on and allow for the existing utility and easement to be abandoned in the future.
On January 30, 2020, the City and Right from the Start (Property Owner), entered into a Property Acquisi*on Agreement. The agreement requires the City to quitclaim to the Property Owner within 121
30 days of the issuance of a No*ce of Comple*on of the Sewer Project, the exis*ng u*lity easement, described in the Grant of Easement. See Exhibit B.
On June 11, 2021, the City approved the Green Island Road Sewer Pump Sta*on Improvement Plans.
See Exhibit C.
On October 18, 2022, City Council adopted Resolu*on No. 2022-94 accep*ng the Green Island Road Sewer Pump Sta*on Improvement Plans (Sewer Project) as completed. As a result, the old sewer force main within the easement is no longer in use and was abandoned. See Exhibit D.
Sec*on 8333(c) of the Streets and Highway Code provides a procedure for the City to vacate unneeded and unused public easement in a simple perfunctory manner; the procedure is known as a “Summary Vaca*on." Because the facts of the situa*on support the required findings, staff recommends the Council adopt a Resolu*on vaca*ng the unused easement by way of Summary Vacation.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed action.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An environmental review for the Project was previously completed pursuant to CEQA. The vaca*ng of public easement is not a project as defined in Sec*on 15378(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.

ITEM NUMBER: 16.
TITLE
Rio Del Mar Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit Extension
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolu*on of the City Council of the City of American Canyon, California, approving a twelve-month extension to the Rio Del Mar Tenta*ve Parcel Map and Design Permit from December 17, 2022, to December 17, 2023; located at the northeast intersec*on of West Carolyn Drive and Rio Del Mar, APNs 058-162-012 and 058-162-013 (File No. PL22-0030)
CONTACT
William He, AICP, Senior Planner
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The Rio Del Mar project consists of a Tenta*ve Parcel Map and Design Permit (PL16-0029) for the development of four (4) single-family detached homes in the Rio Del Mar neighborhood. The project is proposed at the vacant lot northeast of the West Carolyn Drive and Rio Del Mar intersec*on. A loca*on map is included as A>achment 2. The Planning Commission approved a Tenta*ve Parcel Map and Design Permit on March 22, 2018. The applicant submi>ed site improvement plans for review but was not able to complete a Site Improvement Agreement which is required prior to recordation of the “Final Map”.
The Subdivision Ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 18) states that a Tenta*ve Parcel Map will expire in two years if a Final Map is not submi>ed for Recorda*on. The Municipal Code states that a Design Permit will expire in two years if the project is not commenced. However, the expira*on date may be extended if a companion en*tlement, such as a Tenta*ve Parcel Map, is extended (see Municipal Code Section 19.41.060).
The following is a chronology of the project extensions.
On March 22, 2018, the Planning Commission approved the Tenta*ve Parcel Map and Design Permit. The entitlements were active for two years, set to expire on March 22, 2020.
State Assembly Bill 1561 grants an 18-month extension for certain housing en*tlements, which extended the expiration from March 22, 2020, to September 22, 2021.
The applicant filed an applica*on to extend the expira*on on October 18, 2021, for twelve 175
months.
The City A>orney granted a 30-day and a 60-day extension to review AB1561 and the status of the project, which extended the expiration to December 17, 2021.
On November 16, 2021, the City Council approved the twelve-month extension for the project, which extended the expira*on to December 17, 2022. The staff report and Resolu*on 2021-91 is available at this link.
On November 14, 2022, Josh Smith, represen*ng the new property-owner, John Po>er Trust, filed an applica*on for a second extension of the project. The applicant explained that the project was delayed due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, infla*on, and increased costs for construc*on. The applicant believes that the cost and rates are beginning to stabilize and will work towards selling the parcels soon but finding a suitable buyer would require more *me. The applicant’s letter of justification is available as Attachment 3.
According to The American Canyon Municipal Code Sec*on 18, the City Council may grant a twelve (12) month Tenta*ve Parcel Map extension up to three *mes. Approval of the request would extend the Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit expiration date to December 17, 2023.
The addi*on of four single-family homes would add housing during a cri*cal housing shortage and help accomplish the City’s Regional Housing Needs Alloca*on (RHNA). Each single-story home would have four-bedrooms and range in size from 1887 to 2012 square feet.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
Community and Sense of Place: "Build on the strength of our local community to develop a clear 'sense of place' and establish our unique identity."
FISCAL IMPACT
The Rio Del Mar Tenta*ve Map and Design Permit extension requires a flat fee to fund costs associated with reviewing and processing the applica*on. If the City Council approves the extension, the City will gain 4 single-family homes, which will generate addi*onal tax revenue from property taxes and associated sales tax from resident purchases at local stores and restaurants.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Tenta*ve Parcel Map and Design Permit extension is exempt from CEQA under Categorical Exemp*on, Class 32 (Sec*on 15332), In-fill Development projects. The Project was approved by the Planning Commission on March 22, 2018. The 12-month Ves*ng Parcel Map and Design Permit extension is substan*ally consistent with the Approved Project and no further environmental review is required.

WHEREAS, on January 1, 2021, AB1561 provided a statewide extension for certain housing entitlements, which granted the Project an 18-month extension from March 22, 2020, to September 22, 2021; and WHEREAS, on October 18, 2021, AXIA LLC, submitted a request for the City Council to extend the Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit expiration date for twelve months in accordance to ACMC Section 18.20.060(C), which extends the expiration to December 17, 2022; and WHEREAS, on November 16, 2021, the City Council approved the Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit extension for one year to December 17, 2022; and WHEREAS, on November 14, 2022, John Potter Trust, the new property-owner, applied for a second Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit extension request for twelve months due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and construction costs; and WHEREAS, in accordance with the ACMC Section 18.20.060(D), a maximum of three such extensions may be granted; and
WHEREAS, the Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit extension is exempt from CEQA under Categorical Exemption, Class 32 (Section 15332), In-fill Development projects, and the 12-month 178
Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit extension is substantially consistent with the Approved Project and no further environmental review is required; and
WHEREAS, a duly-noticed public hearing was held by the City of American Canyon City Council on December 6, 2022 on the subject application, at which time all those in attendance were given the opportunity to speak on this Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit extension proposal; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of American Canyon hereby approves a twelve-month extension to the Rio Del Mar Tentative Parcel Map and Design Permit, subject to the following Conditions of Approval:

BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The proposed Giovannoni Logis/cs Center consists of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 163 acres of a 208-acre project site. Approximately 45-acres will remain open space for stormwater deten/on and wetlands preserva/on. The semi-rectangular project site is bounded by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park (west), the Napa Logis/cs Park and Devlin Road (north), the Napa Branch Line (east), and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse (south). A location map is included as Attachment 0.0. 184
The project is anticipated to develop in two phases.
Phase 1 Consists of two high cube warehouse buildings that comprise approximately 1.1 million square feet on approximately 70 acres east of Devlin Road.
Phase 2 Consists of approximately 1.3 million square feet of high cube warehouse on 113.1-acres west of Devlin Road.
Approximately 45 acres of the overall project site would be preserved as wetlands. A site plan is included as Attachment 0.1.
The underlying purpose of the Project is to develop industrially zoned land within the American Canyon city limits to its highest and best use. The objectives of the Proposed Project are to:
1. Promote economic growth in American Canyon by attracting new industries.
2. Promote development that generates net posi/ve tax revenues for the City by genera/ng more in new tax revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.
3. Create new employment opportuni/es for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.
4. Develop compa/ble land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interests of avoiding interference with aviation operations.
5. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.
6. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.
7. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.
8. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.
9. Install circula/on improvements along Green Island Road and Devlin Road that provide efficient ingress and egress to the Proposed Project while also ensuring these facili/es operate at acceptable levels.
10. Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.
11. Mi/gate impacts on the environment through implementa/on of feasible mi/ga/on measures.
The Project includes three Entitlements. They are:
1. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the entire 208-acre Project;
2. A Design Permit for Phase 1 which includes two high cube warehouses that comprise nearly
1.07 million square feet; and
3. A Tentative Parcel Map to subdivide Phase 1 into two parcels.
On November 17, 2022, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and unanimously recommended City Council approval of each of the three en/tlements. The City Council is the final 185
approval authority because the EIR requires a Statement of Overriding Considera/ons (see ACMC Section 19.01.0060(D)).
Existing Conditions
The Giovannoni property was annexed into the City of American Canyon in 2005. At that /me, this property along with other proper/es north of Green Island Road were pre-zoned for industrial use.
At 208-acres, the Giovannoni Logis/cs Center site is the largest undeveloped property within American Canyon designated for industrial land use.
The project site gently slopes from east to west and the eleva/on ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The project site contains undeveloped land. Vegeta/on consists primarily of non-na/ve grasslands, with seasonal wetlands and associated plant species scaHered throughout the site. The property has no on-site structures. Photographs of the site are included as AHachment
0.2. Devlin Road bisects the site north-to-south. Green Island Road, to the south will be improved within the next 12-18 months. Both Devlin Road and Green Island Road will include an extension of the Vine Trail.
The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern por/on of the site. No Name Creek flows into the Napa Logis/cs Park Wetland Preserve from the northwestern corner of the property. This drainage is hydrologically connected to Fagan Slough, which flows into the Napa River.
Although most of the Project Site is rela/vely flat, historic grazing and inunda/on in low topographic areas with scaHered depressions. As a result, there are small seasonal wetlands and swales scaHered throughout the site, most of which are supported by rainwater. Altogether, there are
11.93 acres of seasonal wetlands in the north and southwest corner of the site. These are regulated as “waters of the U.S.” pursuant to Sec/on 404 of the Clean Water Act and are subject to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdiction.
Several features in the southeastern por/on of the Project Site are “isolated” seasonal wetlands because they do not have hydrologic connec/vity to any water of the U.S. The “isolated” features are contained within discreet topographic depressions, surrounded by uplands and berms that are higher in eleva/on, thereby isola/ng these features from any water of the U.S. A total of 0.84 acre of “isolated” features that are mapped on the Project Site are not subject to USACE jurisdic/on as shown on Attachment 0.3.
The Phase 2 site west of Devlin Road is impacted by the West Napa Fault and u/lity infrastructure.
The West Napa Fault bisects the project site in a northwest/southeast direc/on. The fault does not extend into the proposed Phase 1 Design Permit and Tenta/ve Parcel Map. A graphic depic/ng the approximate location of the West Napa Fault and Regulatory Zone is included as Attachment 0.4. 186
An exis/ng 18-inch diameter force main crosses the western por/on of the project site between a Pump Sta/on on Tower Road and another Pump Sta/on on Green Island Road. Parallel wastewater and recycled water pipelines were constructed through the Phase 2 project site in Spring 2021 to support the Napa Logis/cs Park. These pipelines link Napa Logis/cs Park to the north with the City’s Water Reclamation Facility to the south.
Environmental Impact Report
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the Giovannoni Logis/cs Center Project (Proposed Project) consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104). An EIR is an informa/onal document for the agency decisionmakers and the public to understand poten/al environmental impacts associated with the Proposed Project.
The proposed Giovannoni Logis/cs Center EIR is a combina/on of a Project EIR and a Program EIR.
The EIR provides a Project-level analysis of the Phase 1 Design Permit and Tenta/ve Parcel Map east of Devlin Road and a Programmatic analysis for a future Phase 2 development west of Devlin Road.
The Project-level Phase 1 analysis provides sufficient detail to address permiNng and construc/on of the Phase 1 Design Permit and Tenta/ve Parcel Map without any addi/onal environmental review.
The Program-level Phase 2 analysis an/cipates permiNng and construc/on of up to 1.3 million square feet of high cube warehouse development. At the /me Phase 2 development is proposed, a subsequent environmental review would evaluate whether the proposed development remains within the program-level EIR assump/ons (pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sec/ons 15162 through 15164 (subsequent EIR, supplement to an EIR, or addendum to an EIR)).
EIR Milestones
The EIR was circulated for public review for 60 days from May 20, 2022 to July 20, 2022. A copy of the Draft EIR and Appendices is included as Attachments 1.A through 1.J.
The City received comments on the DraP EIR. These comments were reviewed and a response to each comment was prepared. Altogether, the Final EIR includes the DraP EIR (see AHachments 1.A through 1.J), Responses to EIR comments, Errata correc/ons, and a Mi/ga/on and Monitoring Report (see Attachments 1.K though 1.P).
A Schedule of Important Milestones in the EIR Review Process is included as Attachment 0.5.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
187
Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires every project evaluate impacts on a range of environmental topics. Listed below are each of the environmental topics and the degree of impact caused by the Project:
1) No Significant Impact. The Project’s impact on following topic areas are Not Significant:
Agriculture and Forest Resources
Mineral Resources
Population and Housing
Recreation
Wildfire
State Scenic Highways
Septic or Alternative Wastewater Disposal Systems
Exposure of Schools to Hazardous Materials
Private Airstrips
Emergency Response or Evacuation Plan
Wildland Fire
An explana/on of the reasons why each issue is determined to be Not Significant is provided in EIR Chapter 7, Effects Found Not to be Significant. See AHachment 1.A. Giovannoni Logis/cs Center Draft EIR.
2) The project impacts are Less Than Significant. Changes to the project and/or feasible mi/ga/on measures lessen the impact to Less Than Significant. These topic areas include the following:
Aesthetics, Light, and Glare
Air Quality
Biological Resources
Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources
Geology, Soils, and Seismicity
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Hydrology and Water Quality
Land Use
Noise
Public Services
Transportation
Utility Systems
An explana/on of the reasons why each issue is determined to be Less Than Significant is provided in EIR Chapter 3, Environmental Impact Analysis. See AHachment 1.A. Giovannoni Logis/cs Center 188
DraP EIR. Proposed Mi/ga/on Measures to reduce environmental impacts are summarized in the Mitigation and Monitoring Report. See Attachment 1.P.
3) The project creates a Significant and Unavoidable Impact. Changes to the project and/or feasible mi/ga/on measures lessen the impact, but the impact remains Significant and Unavoidable.
Significant and Unavoidable impacts are limited to Air Quality as described below:
Air Quality Management Plan: The Proposed Project would exceed regional emissions thresholds and, therefore, be inconsistent with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regional air quality planning assump(ons. Proposed Mi(ga(on includes emission reduc(on measures; however, these measures would not lower impacts to a Less Than Significant level.
Therefore, the significance after mitigation is significant and unavoidable.
Cumulave Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts: The Bay Area region does not comply with federal or State air quality standards for certain air pollutants. The Proposed Project would cause a net increase of some of these criteria air quality pollutants. Even though the project would implement measures to reduce these pollutants though Mi(ga(on, it would not fully reduce this impact to a level of less than significant. Therefore, the significance a/er mi(ga(on is significant and unavoidable.
An explana/on of the reasons why these Air Quality impacts are Significant and Unavoidable is provided in EIR Chapter 3, Sec/on 3.2, Environmental Impact Analysis. See AHachment 1.A.
Giovannoni Logistics Center Draft EIR.
Project Alternatives
CEQA requires an EIR evaluate alterna/ves to the Proposed Project that are poten/ally feasible and would aHain most of the basic project objec/ves while avoiding or substan/ally lessening the project's poten/al impacts. Below is a summary of the alterna/ves to the Proposed Project considered in Chapter 5, Alterna/ves to the Proposed Project. See AHachment 1.A. Giovannoni Logistics Center Draft EIR.
No Project/No Development Alternative
The Proposed Project would not be pursued, and the project site would remain undeveloped for the foreseeable future. This alternative would avoid all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts.
No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative
A 2.4 million square-foot food and beverage facility would be developed on the project site. The project boundaries would remain the same as the Proposed Project. This alterna/ve would increase the severity of all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts.
Reduced Density Alternative
A 1.6-million-square-foot logis/cs center would be developed on the project site, which represents a 189
25 percent reduc/on rela/ve to the Proposed Project. The layout and project boundaries would remain the same as the Proposed Project. This alterna/ve would lessen the severity of all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts.
Phase 1 Only Alternative
Phase 1 would be developed, which consist of 1.1 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 95 acres. Phase 2 would not be pursued, and the remaining 113 acres of the project site would remain undeveloped. This alterna/ve would lessen the severity of all the Proposed Project’s significant impacts to the greatest extent. The Phase 1 Only Alterna/ve is the environmentally superior alternative.
Conclusion
The Phase 1 Only Alterna/ve would lessen the severity of, but would not avoid, the significant and unavoidable Air Quality and GHG emissions impacts associated with the Proposed Project.
Addi/onally, the severity of several significant impacts that can be reduced to Less Than Significant with mi/ga/on (e.g., biological resources, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, and noise), would be further reduced by the Phase 1 Only Alternative.
The Project Applicant has a 100-year lease agreement with the Property Owner for the en/re 208- acre site. The Phase 1 Only Alterna/ve is problema/c because the Project Applicant would be unlikely to forgo development on approximately 113 acres (the Phase 2 por/on of the project site).
Moreover, the project site is the single largest undeveloped industrial zoned site in the City of American Canyon. Preserving 113 acres as a wetland preserve would not represent the highest and best use of the property, par/cularly since approximately 45 acres of the project site would be assigned for this use.
For reasons described above, staff does not recommend the environmentally superior Phase 1 Only Alternative. Alterna/ves to the Proposed Project are more fully described in the DraP EIR, Chapter
5. See Attachment 1.A Giovannoni Draft EIR.
Comments on the Draft EIR
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sec/on 15088, the City of American Canyon, as the lead agency, evaluated the comments received on the DraP EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104) for the proposed Giovannoni Logis/cs Center Project (proposed project), and prepared t responses to the comments received. This Response to Comments document becomes part of the Final EIR for the proposed project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15132.
Comments on the DraP EIR and response can be viewed in Sec/on 2, 3, and 4 of the Final EIR. See Attachment 1.C.
EIR Conclusion
190
A Statement of Findings has been prepared to document the project descrip/on, environmental review process, and substan/al evidence to support all the conclusions in the EIR. This evidence is contained in a list of Findings. See Attachment 1.Q.
Phase 1 Design Permit
Buzz Oates LLC, submiHed a Giovannoni Logis/cs Center Phase 1 Design Permit applica/on to develop two high-cube warehouse buildings totaling 1,069,904 square feet on 70.2-acres east of Devlin Road and north of Green Island Road.
Building A, located at 300 Green Island Road, is proposed to be 627,976 square feet; and Building B, located at 1200 Devlin Road is proposed to be 469,512 square feet. Both buildings would provide docks, grade level roll-up doors, and trailer parking stalls and enclosed with a secure perimeter.
Access would be restricted to authorized users. Building A building may be rail-served by the adjacent Napa Branch Line. A graphic depicting the site plan is included as Attachment 0.1 The building architecture meets the design and development principles set out in the General Plan (Policy 1.22.4 and 1.22) and reflect a modern industrial look by providing architectural detailing around windows, building corners, parapet, and ar/culated sidings of the main entrance. The exterior concrete walls have score lines that break up the wall expanse. The ground floor eleva/on has store-front like windows that capture natural light.
The building design includes a tall parapet to screen rooPop structures and mechanical equipment.
A condi/on of approval requires adequate rooPop equipment screening verified at the /me of building permit issuance and occupancy. Photosimula/ons of the building eleva/ons are included as Attachment 0.6.
The site is well landscaped, including trees throughout the parking areas and along the southern, western and northern edges of the site, and plan/ngs within the stormwater bio-reten/on area that runs along the northwest side of the site. There are clearly marked pedestrian routes in the parking lot leading to the front office of the building. A copy of the Preliminary Landscape Plan is included as Attachment 0.7.
Each building has safe access onto the adjacent roadway. The entrances are designed to separate big-rig trucks from passenger vehicles and the site plan has a driveway interconnec/on between the Building A and Building B site along the northern perimeter onto Devlin Road.
Building A has four entrances on Green Island Road. The western and eastern entrances are designed for big-rig trucks. The central two driveways are for passenger vehicles.
Building B has three entrances off Devlin Road. The northern and southern entrances are designed for big-rig trucks. The central driveway is for passenger vehicles 191
The parking code requires ten bicycle racks for each building. The site plan shows bike lockers located adjacent to service doors at two loca/ons on the northern and southern sides of Building A.
On Building B, bike lockers are located next to the western eleva/on directly in line with the Devlin Road entrance. A second bike locker is located on the northeast elevation near the office entrance.
A table depic/ng compliance with General Industrial zoning standards for Building A (300 Green Island Road) and Building B (1200 Devlin Road) is included as AHachment 0.8. As shown on the table, all applicable General Industrial development standards have been met or exceeded.
Special Issues
a. Fire District Fiscal Impacts.
The applicant conducted a fiscal analysis that projected the Project would generate an annual Fire District opera/ng deficit of $158,000. The applicant and the Fire District reached a mutual agreement to supplement financing over the long term. The Memorandum of Understanding between the American Canyon Fire Protec/on District and Buzz Oats, LLC was approved by the Fire District Board on October 22, 2022 (Resolu/on 2022-29). A condi/on of approval requires the Applicant to form a Mello-Roos Community Facili/es District or similar public financing mechanism (CFD) on full legal parcels that are a part of the Project prior to City issuance of the first building permit. This same condi/on is included in the Tenta/ve Parcel Map except the threshold is prior to recordation of the map, or city issuance of the first building permit, whichever occurs first. b. Traffic Monitoring.
The Giovannoni EIR projected trip genera/on from the project to equal 240 vehicles in the AM peakhour and 264 vehicles in the PM peak-hour. To ensure actual traffic volumes are no more than the EIR assump/on, the Design Permit includes two condi/ons of approval that require the Applicant to enter into a Recorded a Transporta/on Demand Management (TDM) Program Agreement (“TDM Agreement”) prior to issuance of the first building permit. Modelled aPer the Napa Logis/cs Park Phase 2 TDM Program, the applicant may include a variety of trip reduc/on measures including offpeak hour workday shiPs, car sharing, transit subsidies, and so on. If these are not successful, the Applicant would be required to pay an addi/onal amount for each and every peak-hour trip recorded by the coun/ng device that exceeds the TDM threshold, equal to the latest adopted Traffic Impact Fee (“TIF”) program in effect at the time.
c. Water Conservation
As a part of ongoing water conserva/on efforts in the commercial sector, the City of American Canyon adopted a Zero Water Footprint policy. Also known as ZWF, the primary goal of this policy is there will be no loss in reliability or increase in water rates for exis/ng water service customers due to new demand for water within the City’s water service area.
To meet the ZWF standards, Developers must ensure that all new developments offset the amount of increased potable water that will be consumed by their project on a one-to-one basis. There are 192
several ways to meet ZWF requirements. During the development process, the City and Developer work in partnership with each other to iden/fy the most appropriate ZWF methods for offseNng the increase in potable water consumption. At a minimum, water conservation measures include:
Water efficient fixtures
Install water wise landscaping and irrigation
Dual plumb the buildings to use recycled water for non-potable uses Once the Developer has refined their plan to minimize potable water needs, the City and Applicant evaluates the project’s water footprint and the proposed potable water offset through these potential programs:
Contribu/ng to the City’s exis/ng conserva/on programs, including our popular Cash-forGrass turf conversion program, toilet retrofits, and similar community-wide programs.
Elimina/ng an exis/ng public use of potable water by conver/ng it to recycled water, such as city park and landscaping irrigation.
Construc/ng or funding city capital projects that directly result in reduced demand for potable water or increased capacity to produce recycled water, including but not limited to replacing leaking main lines, replacing inefficient water meters, and treatment improvements at the water reclamation facility.
Contribu/ng toward the expansion of the City’s reclaimed water system by extending the purple pipeline to locations not currently served by recycled water.
Acquiring water supply from another source.
The Giovannoni Logis/cs Center has a condi/on of approval requiring the project to comply with the ZWF policy and to dual plumb toilets to use recycled water. d. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Methods
The Giovannoni EIR includes five mi/ga/on measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The first mitigation measure MM GHG-1a includes ten ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from project construc/on. These range from no vola/le organic compound (VOC) paints, local building material suppliers, use of electric construction equipment, and so on.
The other four measures reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ongoing building opera/on. MM GHG 1e requires the Applicant to provide the City with documenta/on (e.g., site plans) demonstra/ng to the City’s sa/sfac/on that the electricity demand will be supplied with 100 percent carbon-free electricity sources through the Year 2045. This requirement is necessary to satisfy prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Proposed Project.
Staff met with the Applicant to discuss the proposed method to provide 100 percent carbon-free electricity sources through the year 2045. The Applicant informed staff their preferred method is for tenants (or subsequent building owners) to subscribe to Marin Clean Energy (MCE) or Pacific Gas & Electric (PGE) carbon free electricity sources.
193
If this method of mi/ga/on compliance were selected, it would require the applicant to send u/lity bills to a designated city staff (or Department) on a monthly or yearly basis un/l Year 2045. An assigned staff person would be required to review the records, retrieve the applicable mi/ga/on measure, record compliance, scan, and store the information in a retrievable folder.
Staff expressed concern with this approach because the required tasks represents a long-term burden placed on the City of American Canyon where there are limited staff resources.
Furthermore, obtaining off-site carbon-free electricity requires transmission to the site using PG&E transmission lines. PG&E transmission lines are subject to disrup/on from a variety of storm events, brownouts, accidents, and equipment failures from an an/quated and unmaintained distribu/on system.
A second alterna/ve to obtain carbon-free electricity is to install on-site solar panels. On-site solar panels are growing in popularity with homeowners and business owners. On-site solar electricity has the advantage of not requiring use of unreliable PG&E distribu/on lines. Furthermore, there is significant concern that adap/ng to a carbon free future will strain exis/ng supplies of carbon free electricity. Genera/ng electricity on-site helps grow the supply of carbon-free electricity, not draw from limited existing sources.
The applicant has stated that on-site solar electricity is more expensive than subscribing to an electric u/lity and that a large industrial user may require more electricity than can be generated on-site. Perhaps subscribed solar electricity is less expensive than on-site solar panels. However, given the long-term life of an industrial building, it is difficult to say for certain whether the current price difference between u/lity provided solar electricity will remain less expensive than on-site solar panels.
The EIR project descrip/on and Design Permit suggest the Project Descrip/on is high cube warehouses, not a heavy industrial user. The zoning permits a variety of industrial uses, but a change in project descrip/on at a minimum would require an environmental evalua/on and en/tlement modifica/on. At that /me, electricity demands could be addressed based on the needs of the revised Project description.
Based on the current project descrip/on and reasons described above, staff recommends the City Council require carbon-free electricity through on-site solar panel genera/on. This recommenda/on would require applicable revisions to the Energy Sector discussion in the Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations. See Attachment 1.Q. e. Lot Line Adjustment
An exis/ng parcel line cuts through the proposed Building A western parking lot from Green Island Road to the proposed bioswale north of Building A. For a variety of legal reasons and zoning setback requirements, it is important to reconfigure parcel lines to reflect the proposed site plan. A graphic 194
depic/ng the exis/ng parcel line is included as AHachment 0.9. It is labelled “Lands of Right From The Start” APN 057-130-036.
Design Permit Conclusion
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Design Permit as shown in Attachment 2.
Tentative Subdivision Map
Buzz Oates LLC, submiHed a Giovannoni Logis/cs Center Phase 1 Tenta/ve Parcel Map to create a two-lot parcel map north of Green Island Road, and east of Devlin Road for up to 1,069,904 square feet of high-cube warehouse buildings (the proposed project). Lot 1, located at 300 Green Island Road, comprises 38.36 acres, and Lot 2 located at 1200 Devlin Road comprises 31.44 acres.
The main purpose for subdividing land is to finance or sell the property. Both parcels are specifically designed to accommodate the proposed warehouse buildings shown in the Design Permit applica/on. Each parcel has its own parking and access, so they could operate independently from each other.
Parcel Sizes
The Light Industrial zoning district requires a minimum parcel size of 40,000 square feet. Both Lot 1 and 2 greatly exceed this minimum standard with 38.36 acres, and 31.44 acres, respectively.
Infrastructure
As shown on the Tenta/ve Parcel Map plans, the subdivision has been designed to accommodate stormwater and u/li/es. The condi/ons of approval (See AHachment 3) provide addi/onal instructions on infrastructure development and impact fee payments.
Giovannoni Logistics Park EIR Mitigation Measures
As required for the Design Permit, the Tenta/ve Map also includes applicable mi/ga/on measures from the Giovannoni Logistics Park EIR.
Fire District Financing Agreement
As required for the Design Permit, the Tenta/ve Map also includes a requirement for the Applicant shall form a Mello-Roos Community Facili/es District or similar public financing mechanism (CFD) on full legal parcels that are a part of the Project in accordance with ACFPD Agreement 2022-29. A copy of Agreement 2022-29 is included with the Tenta/ve Map Resolu/on as Exhibit C (See Attachment 3).
Tentative Parcel Map Conclusion
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Tentative Parcel Map as shown in Attachment 3.
COUNCIL PRIORITY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
195
Economic Development and Vitality: "AHract and expand diverse business and employment opportunities."
FISCAL IMPACT
Processing the Project's En/tlements is funded by the applicant to eliminate a General Fund subsidy. Development of the project will generate ongoing tax revenues and indirect economic development from addi/onal employees. Costs will increase from providing municipal services i.e.:
road maintenance, emergency services. Specific fiscal impacts will vary dependent upon the ultimate site users at the property.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council cer/fy that the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH# 2021010104) has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and as adequately reflects the City’s independent judgement and analysis regarding the poten/al environmental impacts associated with the Giovannoni Logis/cs Center Project, and adopt CEQA Findings of Fact, a Statement of Overriding Considera/ons for the Project, and adopt a the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Project.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purpose
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) is prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the Giovannoni Logistics Center Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104). This document is prepared in conformance with CEQA (Public Resources Code [PRC] § 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations [CCR], Title 14, § 15000, et seq.).
The purpose of this Draft EIR is to inform decision-makers, representatives of affected and responsible agencies, the public, and other interested parties of the potential environmental effects that may result from implementation of the proposed project. This Draft EIR describes potential impacts relating to a wide variety of environmental issues and methods by which these impacts can be mitigated or avoided.
Project Summary
Project Location
The 208-acre project site is located in the City of American Canyon, Napa County, California. The semi-rectangular project site is bounded by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park (west), the Napa Logistics Park and Devlin Road (north), the Napa Branch Line (east), and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse (south).
Project Description
The proposed project consists of the development of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 163 acres of the project site. Phase 1 consists of approximately 1.1 million square feet on the eastern portion of the project site. Phase 2 consist of approximately 1.3 million square feet on the western portion of the project. Approximately 45 acres of the project site would be preserved as wetlands. The applicant would extend the Napa Valley Vine Trail along the project frontage with Devlin Road and Green Island Road. Section 2, Project Description, provides a complete description of the project.
Project Objectives and Underlying Purpose
The underlying purpose of the proposed project is to develop industrially zoned undeveloped land within the American Canyon city limits to its highest and best use.
The objectives of the proposed project are to:
1. Promote economic growth in American Canyon by attracting new industries. 221
City of American Canyon— Giovannoni Logistics Center Project Executive Summary Draft EIR
ES-2 FirstCarbon Solutions
https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/5460/54600001/EIR/2 - Screencheck EIR/wp/54600001 Sec00-03 Exec Summary.docx
2. Promote development that that generates net positive tax revenues for the City by generating more in new tax revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.
3. Create new employment opportunities for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.
4. Develop compatible land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interests of avoiding interference with aviation operations.
5. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.
6. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.
7. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.
8. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.
9. Install circulation improvements along Green Island Road and Devlin Road that provide efficient ingress and egress to the proposed project while also ensuring these facilities operate at acceptable levels.
10. Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.
11. Mitigate impacts on the environment through implementation of feasible mitigation measures.
Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts
The proposed project would result in the following significant unavoidable impacts:
• Consistency With Air Quality Management Plan: The proposed project would result in exceedances of regional emissions thresholds and, therefore, be inconsistent with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regional air quality planning assumptions.
Mitigation is proposed requiring the implementation of feasible emissions reduction measures; however, these measures would not reconcile this inconsistency. Therefore, the significance after mitigation is significant and unavoidable. • Cumulative Criteria Pollutant Emissions Impacts: The proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of criteria pollutants for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard. Mitigation is proposed requiring the implementation of air emissions reduction measures, but it would not fully reduce this impact to a level of less than significant. Therefore, the significance after mitigation is significant and unavoidable.

Below is a summary of the alternatives to the proposed project considered in Section 5, Alternatives to the Proposed Project.
No Project/No Development Alternative
The proposed project would not be pursued, and the project site would remain undeveloped for the foreseeable future. This alternative would avoid all of the proposed project’s significant impacts.
No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative
A 2.4 million square-foot food and beverage facility would be developed on the project site. The project boundaries would remain the same as the proposed project. This alternative would increase the severity of all of the proposed project’s significant impacts.
Reduced Density Alternative
A 1.6-million-square-foot logistics center would be developed on the project site, which represents a 25 percent reduction relative to the proposed project. The layout and project boundaries would remain the same as the proposed project. This alternative would lessen the severity of all of the proposed project’s significant impacts.
Phase 1 Only Alternative
Phase 1 would be developed, which consist of 1.1 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 95 acres. Phase 2 would not be pursued, and the remaining 113 acres of the project site would remain undeveloped. This alternative would lessen the severity of all of the proposed project’s significant impacts to the greatest extent. The Phase 1 Only Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative.
Areas of Controversy and Potentially Controversial Issues Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15123(b), a summary section must address areas of controversy known to the lead agency, including issues raised by agencies and the public, and it must also address issues to be resolved, including the choice among alternatives and whether or how to mitigate the significant effects.
A Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the proposed project was issued on January 12, 2021. The NOP describing the original concept for the project and issues to be addressed in the EIR was distributed to the State Clearinghouse, responsible agencies, and other interested parties for a 30-day public review period extending from January 12, 2021, through February 10, 2021. During the NOP review period, the following issues were raised in comments submitted to the City of American Canyon:
• Health effects on disadvantaged communities from diesel emissions • Housing for project employees
• Climate change
• Impacts on nearby vernal pools

If no nesting Swainson’s hawk are found during the first non-optional survey period starting March 20, then project construction may commence. If during the third surveys (April 5–April 20) Swainson’s hawk are found to be nesting in the project vicinity and construction has commenced, it shall be assumed the Swainson’s hawk commenced nesting and thus that the Swainson’s hawk are habituated to the ambient level of noise and disturbance emanating from the project site.
If Swainson’s hawk are found to be nesting within 1,000 feet of the project site, a non-disturbance buffer shall be established to keep all construction activities a minimum of 1,000 feet from the nest site. The CDFW shall be consulted regarding the adequacy of the buffer established by the qualified Raptor Biologist. At that time the necessity for acquiring a Fish and Game Section 2081 Incidental Take Permit (ITP) authorization would be determined. An ITP authorization shall be required if there is a valid concern the project activities would result in the “take” of an adult Swainson’s hawk, eggs, or nestlings.
No disturbance such as construction or earthmoving activity shall occur within the established buffer zone until it is determined by a qualified Raptor Biologist that the young have fledged or the nesting cycle is complete based on monitoring of the active nest by a qualified Biologist.
MM BIO-1b: No more than 30 days prior to the first ground disturbance activity, pre-construction golden eagle nesting surveys shall be conducted in the project site vicinity. Pre-construction surveys shall include investigation of all potential nesting trees within a 0.5-mile radius around all project activities. If active golden eagle active nests are identified within any trees within a 0.5-mile radius of the project site, a qualified Raptor Biologist shall establish a protection buffer at a minimum of 1,000 feet that is adequate to ensure noise or activity from the proposed project would not cause nest disturbance or young or adult bird mortality. Buffer zones may vary in size as some golden eagles are more acclimated to disturbance than others. Size 229

No construction or earthmoving activity shall occur within the established buffer zone until it is determined by a qualified Raptor Biologist that the young golden eagles have fledged or that the nesting cycle is complete based on monitoring of the active nest by a qualified Biologist.
MM BIO-1c: Prior to ground disturbance, a pre-construction nesting survey shall be conducted for northern harrier if construction is scheduled during the nesting season (February 1 through September 1). To determine whether northern harrier is nesting on-site, a qualified Raptor Biologist(s) shall conduct walking transects through the project site grassland habitat searching for nests. An active northern harrier nest must be protected by implementing a minimum 500-foot radius buffer zone around the nest marked with orange construction fencing. If an active nest is located outside of the project site, the buffer shall be extended onto the project site and demarcated where it intersects the project site. Size of buffer zone could be modified considering the type of construction activity that may occur, physical barriers between the construction site and active nest, and the behavioral factors and extent that northern harrier may have acclimated to disturbance. No construction or earthmoving activity shall occur within the established buffer zone until it is determined by a qualified Raptor Biologist that the young have fledged or that the nesting cycle is otherwise determined to be complete based on monitoring of the active nest by a qualified Biologist.
MM BIO-1d: Prior to any ground disturbance, pre-construction surveys for burrowing owl shall be conducted. The pre-construction surveys shall be conducted within 2 weeks prior to the onset of any ground-disturbing activities. Surveys shall be conducted by a qualified Biologist following California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) 2012 staff report survey methods and Biologist qualifications to establish the status of burrowing owl on the project site.

Buffers may be adjusted to address site-specific conditions using the impact assessment approach described in the CDFW 2012 staff report. If a qualified Raptor Biologist determines the location of an occupied burrow/s may be impacted even with a 100-foot buffer, or the burrow(s) are in a location(s) on the project site where a buffer cannot be established without preventing the proposed project from moving forward, then a passive relocation effort may be instituted to relocate the individual(s) out of harm’s way pursuant to a Burrowing Owl Exclusion Plan prepared in accordance with the CDFW 2012 staff report.
If burrowing owl are found to be present during the breeding season (February 1 to August 31), the proposed project ground-disturbing activities shall follow the CDFW 2012 staff report recommended avoidance protocol whereby occupied burrows shall be avoided with a no-disturbance buffer.
Impact BIO-2: The proposed project could have a
substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or
other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the

1. Preserve 7.58 acres of existing seasonal wetlands and 0.13 acre of vernal pools within the 45-acre Wetland Preserve.
2. Establish within the Wetland Preserve approximately 0.992 acre of seasonal wetlands in advance of or concurrent with implementation of Phase 1 impacts to 0.496 acre of palustrine emergent wetlands at a 2:1 ratio.
3. Establish within the Wetland Preserve approximately 2.57 acres of seasonal wetlands and 1.13 acres of vernal pools in advance of implementation of future Phase 2, assuming Phase 2 is built out, to address the potential maximum losses of approximately 3.7 acres of wetlands that may occur.
4. Provide financial assurances to ensure a high level of confidence that the compensatory mitigation shall be successfully completed, in accordance with applicable performance standards.
5. Design ecological performance standards to assess whether the Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan is achieving the overall objectives, so that it can be objectively evaluated to determine whether it is developing into the desired resource type (vernal pool, seasonal wetland e.g.), and attaining any other applicable metrics such as acres, number of native plant species, water saturation and/or ponding depth etc.
6. Monitor the site for a duration necessary to determine whether the Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plan is meeting the performance standards. Established palustrine emergent wetlands and vernal pools typically develop quickly on soils with clay restrictive horizon. The 45-acre Wetland Preserve does have a clay restrictive layer approximately 8–18 inches below the surface therefore a 5-year monitoring period would be sufficient to determine whether performance standards are met. This monitoring period may be extended if performance standards are not met due to how the wetlands were constructed or natural events such as severe droughts.
7. Protect the approximately 45-acre Wetland Preserve in perpetuity using a conservation easement, and provide an endowment sufficient to fund the Long-Term Management Plan.
8. An overall assessment of the condition of the wetlands that shall be permanently impacted by the proposed project shall be conducted using the California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) for depressional 234

Each similar wetland type that may be impacted shall be assessed to describe the floristic community and record the native and non-native dominant plants within the vernal pool and palustrine emergent wetlands. Physical structure such as topographic complexity and physical features that may provide habitat for aquatic species (e.g., boulders, woody debris etc.) shall be recorded and used to design the created/established wetlands. The purpose of this assessment is to ensure the design of the wetlands shall provide habitat that is similar to the wetlands being impacted to ensure the impacted wetlands are mitigated in-kind.
Impact BIO-4: The proposed project could 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 wildlife nursery sites.
MM BIO-4: If construction occurs during the breeding season of migratory and resident birds (February 1 to August 31), a qualified Biologist shall conduct a pre-construction breeding bird survey in areas of suitable habitat within 15 days prior to the onset of construction activity. Nesting bird surveys shall cover the proposed project footprint and adjacent areas. If bird nests are found, appropriate buffer zones shall be established around all active nests to protect nesting adults and their young from direct or indirect impacts related to project construction disturbance. Size of buffer zones shall be determined per recommendations of the qualified Biologist based on-site conditions and species involved. At a minimum a 1,000-foot buffer shall be established for nesting Swainson’s hawk and golden eagle; 500-foot buffer for nesting northern harriers; 250-foot buffer for nesting accipiters; and minimum 50-foot buffers shall be established for nesting passerines and all other non-raptor or passerine nesting birds. Buffer zones shall be maintained until it can be documented that either the nest has failed, or the young have fledged.

substantial adverse change in the significance of an
archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5.
MM CUL-2a: No ground disturbance shall take place within 100 feet of informal archaeological resource 483A-001. The resource shall be preserved in place.
MM CUL-2b: An Archaeologist who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology shall be present on-site during all earth disturbing activities. If prehistoric or historic-period archaeological resources are encountered, all construction activities within 100 feet of the find shall halt and the City of American Canyon shall be notified. Prehistoric archaeological materials may include obsidian and chert flaked stone tools (e.g., projectile points, knives, scrapers) or toolmaking debris; culturally darkened soil (“midden”) containing heataffected rocks, artifacts, or shellfish remains; and stone milling equipment (e.g., mortars, pestles, hand stones, or milling slabs); and battered stone tools, such as hammerstones and pitted stones. Historic-period materials might include stone, concrete, or adobe footings and walls; filled wells or privies; and deposits of metal, glass, and/or ceramic refuse.
The Archaeologist shall inspect the findings within 24 hours of discovery. If it is determined the project could damage a historical resource or a unique archaeological resource (as defined pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines), mitigation shall be implemented in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21083.2 and Section 15126.4 of the CEQA Guidelines, with a preference for preservation in place. Consistent with Section 15126.4(b)(3), this may be accomplished through planning construction to avoid the resource; incorporating the resource within open space; capping and covering the resource; or deeding the site into a permanent conservation easement. If avoidance is not feasible, a qualified Archaeologist shall prepare and implement a detailed treatment plan in consultation with the City of American Canyon. Treatment of unique archaeological resources shall follow the applicable requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. Treatment for most resources would consist of (but would not be limited to) sample excavation, artifact collection, site documentation, and historical research, with the aim to target the recovery of important scientific data contained in the portion(s) of the significant resource to be impacted by the proposed project. The treatment plan shall include provisions for analysis of data in a regional context, reporting of results Less than significant impact.

If project construction, there is accidental discovery or recognition of any human remains, the following steps shall be taken:
1. There shall be no further excavation or disturbance within 100 feet of the remains until the County Coroner is contacted to determine whether the remains are Native American and if an investigation of the cause of death is required. If the Coroner determines the remains to be Native American, the Coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) within 24 hours, and the NAHC shall identify the person or persons it believes to be the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) of the deceased Native American. The MLD may make recommendations to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work within 48 hours, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains, and any associated grave goods as provided in Public Resource Code Section 5097.98.
2 Where the following conditions occur, the landowner or authorized representative shall rebury the Native American human remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity either in accordance with the recommendations of the MLD or on the project site in a location not subject to further subsurface disturbance:
• The NAHC is unable to identify an MLD or the MLD failed to make a recommendation within 48 hours after being notified by the commission.
• The descendant identified fails to make a recommendation. • The landowner or authorized representative rejects the recommendation of the descendant, and mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner.

Impact CUL-4: The proposed project may cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance of a Tribal Cultural Resource.
MM CUL-4: A Tribal Monitor representing the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation shall be present during all project-related ground disturbance. Additionally, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation’s Treatment Protocol (Protocol) shall be followed with respect to Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs). The purpose of the protocol is to formalize procedures for the treatment of Native American human remains, grave goods, ceremonial items, and items of cultural patrimony, if any are found in conjunction with development, including archaeological studies, excavation, geotechnical investigations, grading, and any ground-disturbing activity. This Protocol also formalizes procedures for Tribal Monitoring during archaeological studies, grading, and ground-disturbing activities.
1. Cultural Affiliation: The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation (Tribe) traditionally occupied lands in Yolo, Solano, Lake, Colusa, and Napa Counties. The Tribe has designated its Cultural Resources Committee (Committee) to act on the Tribe's behalf with respect to the provisions of this Protocol.
Any human remains which are found in conjunction with projects on lands culturally affiliated with the Tribe shall be treated in accordance with Section III of this Protocol. Any other cultural resources shall be treated in accordance with Section IV of this Protocol.
2. Inadvertent Discovery of Native American Human Remains: Whenever Native American human remains are found during the course of a project, the determination of Most Likely Descendant (MLD) under California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 will be made by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) upon notification to the NAHC of the discovery of said remains at a project site.

Should the NAHC determine that a member of an Indian tribe other than Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation is the MLD, and the Tribe agrees with this determination, the terms of this Protocol relating to the treatment of such Native American human remains shall not be applicable; however, that situation is very unlikely.
3. Treatment of Native American Remains: In the event that Native American human remains are found during development of a project and the Tribe or a member of the Tribe is determined to be MLD pursuant to Section II of this Protocol, the following provisions shall apply. The Medical Examiner shall immediately be notified, ground-disturbing activities in that location shall cease and the Tribe shall be allowed, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98(a), to (1) inspect the site of the discovery and (2) make determinations as to how the human remains and grave goods shall be treated and disposed of with appropriate dignity. The Tribe shall complete its inspection and make its MLD recommendation within 48 hours of getting access to the site. The Tribe shall have the final determination as to the disposition and treatment of human remains and grave goods. Said determination may include avoidance of the human remains, reburial on-site, or reburial on tribal or other lands that will not be disturbed in the future. The Tribe may wish to rebury said human remains and grave goods or ceremonial and cultural items on or near the site of their discovery, in an area which will not be subject to future disturbances over a prolonged period of time. Reburial of human remains shall be accomplished in compliance with the California Public Resources Code Sections 5097.98(a) and (b).
The term "human remains" encompasses more than human bones because the Tribe’s traditions call for the burial of associated cultural items with the deceased (funerary objects), and/or the ceremonial burning of Native American human remains, funerary objects, grave goods, and animals. Ashes, soils, and other remnants of these burning ceremonies, as well as associated funerary objects and unassociated funerary objects buried with or found near the Native American remains are to be treated in the same manner as bones or bone fragments that remain intact.

4. Non-Disclosure of Location of Reburials: Unless otherwise required by law, the site of any reburial of Native American human remains shall not be disclosed and will not be governed by public disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act, California Government Code Section 6250 et seq. The Medical Examiner shall withhold public disclosure of information related to such reburial pursuant to the specific exemption set forth in California Government Code Section 6254(r). The Tribe will require that the location for reburial is recorded with the California Historic Resources Inventory System (CHRIS) on a form acceptable to the CHRIS center. The Tribe may also suggest the landowner enter into an agreement regarding the confidentiality of site information that will run with title on the property.
5. Treatment of Cultural Resources: Treatment of all cultural items, including ceremonial items and archaeological items will reflect the religious beliefs, customs, and practices of the Tribe. All cultural items, including ceremonial items and archaeological items, which may be found at a project site shall be turned over to the Tribe for appropriate treatment, unless ordered by a court or agency of competent jurisdiction.
The project proponent shall waive any and all claims to ownership of Tribal ceremonial and cultural items, including archaeological items, which may be found on a project site in favor of the Tribe. If any intermediary, (for example, an Archaeologist retained by the project proponent) is necessary, said entity or individual shall not possess those items for longer than is reasonably necessary, as determined solely by the Tribe.
6. Inadvertent Discoveries: If additional significant sites or sites not identified as significant in a project environmental review process, but later determined to be significant, are located within a project impact area, such sites will be subjected to further archaeological and cultural significance evaluation by the project proponent, the Lead Agency, and the Tribe to determine whether additional mitigation measures are necessary to treat sites in a culturally appropriate manner consistent with CEQA requirements for mitigation of impacts to cultural resources. If there are human remains present that have been identified as Native American, all work will cease for a period of up to 30 days in accordance with Federal Law.

1.1 - Overview of the CEQA Process
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) is prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project (proposed project) (State Clearinghouse No. 2021010104). This document is prepared in conformance with CEQA (California Public Resources Code [PRC], § 21000, et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations [CCR], Title 14, § 15000, et seq.). This Draft EIR is intended to serve as an informational document for the public agency decision-makers and the public regarding the proposed project.
1.1.1 - Overview
The proposed project consists of the development of up to 2.4 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 208-acre project site. Phase 1 consists of approximately 1.1 million square feet on the eastern portion of the project site. Phase 2 consist of approximately 1.3 million square feet on the western portion of the project. Approximately 45 acres of the project site would be preserved as wetlands. The applicant would also extend the Napa Valley Vine Trail along the project frontage with Devlin Road and Green Island Road. Section 2, Project Description, provides a complete description of the project.
1.1.2 - Purpose and Authority
This Draft EIR for the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project is a combination of a project EIR and a program EIR. The Draft EIR provides a project-level analysis of the environmental effects of Phase 1 and programmatic analysis for Phase 2 of the Project.
The project-level analysis for Phase 1, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, provides sufficient detail to allow for approvals of all needed approvals and permitting for, as well as construction of, Phase 1 without any need for additional environmental review, provided that future project changes or changed circumstances do not trigger the need for some sort of subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164 (subsequent EIR, supplement to an EIR, or addendum to an EIR).
The programmatic level of analysis for Phase 2 has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. Under Section 15168(c), “[l]ater activities in the program must be examined in the light of [a] program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared.” Two general outcomes are possible: the later activity may be found to be “within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR,” in which case “no new environmental document would be required;” or such a finding cannot be made and a new project-specific Mitigated Negative Declaration or EIR would be required, depending on the severity of the effects of the later activity.
Section 15168(c)(4) directs that “[w]here the later activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and 251

https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/5460/54600001/EIR/2 - Screencheck EIR/54600001 Sec01-00 Introduction.docx the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were within the scope of the program EIR.”
Section 15168(c)(2) provides that “[i]f the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required.
Whether a later activity is within the scope of a program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may consider in making that determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure, as described in the program EIR.” For any later activity covered in whole or in part in the program EIR, “[a]n agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into later activities in the program” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(2)).
This document addresses the potentially significant adverse environmental impacts (both projectlevel and programmatic) that may be associated with the planning, construction, or operation of the proposed project. It also identifies appropriate and feasible mitigation measures and alternatives that may be adopted to significantly reduce or avoid these impacts.
CEQA requires that an EIR contain, at a minimum, certain specific elements. These elements are contained in this Draft EIR and include:
• Table of Contents
• Executive Summary
• Introduction
• Project Description
• Environmental Setting, Significant Environmental Impacts, and Mitigation Measures • Cumulative Impacts

This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) analyzes the potential environmental effects of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project (proposed project) in American Canyon.
2.1 - Project Location and Setting
2.1.1 - Location
The 208-acre project site is located in the City of American Canyon, in Napa County, California; refer to Exhibit 2-1. The semi-rectangular project site is bounded by industrial development in the Green Island Business Park (west), the Napa Logistics Park and Devlin Road (north), the Napa Branch Line (east), and Green Island Road, a stone supply business, and a wine distribution warehouse (south); refer to Exhibit 2-2. The project site is located on the Cuttings Wharf, California, United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute Topographic Quadrangle Map, Township 4 North, Range 4 West, Sections 13 and 14 (Latitude 38° 11’ 50” North; Longitude 122° 15’ 36” West).
2.1.2 - Existing Conditions
The project site contains undeveloped land; there are no structures on-site. Vegetation consists primarily of non-native grasslands, with seasonal wetlands and associated plant species scattered throughout the site. The project site gently slopes from east to west and the elevation ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern portion of the site. No Name Creek flows off the site at the northwestern corner of the property into the Napa Logistics Park Wetland Preserve. The drainage is hydrologically connected to Fagan Slough, which flows into the Napa River. The majority of wetlands that occur throughout the site are supported by direct precipitation. Small soil mounds are located in various places throughout the site.
The West Napa Fault bisects the project site in a northwest/southeast direction. An existing 18-inch diameter force main that connects the Tower Road Pump Station with the Green Island Pump Station crosses the western portion of the project site.
The City of American Canyon owns an approximately 8-acre strip of land that bisects the site northto-south. This strip of land would support the planned extension of Devlin Road from Middleton Way to Green Island Road, which was under construction as of Summer 2021.
Pursuant to the approval of the Napa Logistics Park Phase 2 EIR, parallel wastewater and recycled water pipelines were constructed through the project site via jack-and-bore technologies in Spring 2021. The pipelines link Napa Logistics Park to the north with the City’s Water Reclamation Facility to the south.
Photographs of the project site are provided in Exhibit 2-3. 259

2.1.3 - Surrounding Land Uses
West
The California Northern Railroad line connecting American Canyon and Sonoma and the Biagi Brothers distribution warehouse form the western boundary of the project site.
North
Devlin Road and the Napa Logistics Park form the northern boundary of the project site. Napa Logistics Park contains more than 2 million square feet of distribution warehouses as well as a planned Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) regional operations and maintenance center.
Further north is the Napa County Airport.
East
The Napa Branch Line, a railroad that connects American Canyon and Napa, forms the eastern boundary of the project site. East of the branch line are several industrial and commercial businesses that front State Route (SR) 29.
South
Green Island Road, Crown Hill Stone Supply, and the Wine Direct warehouse form the southern boundary of the project site. Further south are industrial and commercial businesses within the Green Island Business Park.
2.1.4 - Land Use Designations
The project site is designated “Industrial” by the City of American Canyon General Plan and zoned “General Industrial.” The project site is within the boundaries of the Napa County Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan.
2.2 - Project History
2.2.1 - Giovannoni Property
Historic topographic maps indicate that the Giovannoni Property has been undeveloped since at least the early 20th Century. The property was annexed into the City of American Canyon in 2005 when the City pre-zoned the site for industrial use. It is the largest undeveloped property designated for industrial land use activities within the American Canyon city limits.
2.2.2 - Napa Logistics Park
The approximately 218-acre Napa Logistics Park property is immediately north of the Giovannoni project site and has been through several rounds of entitlements.
In 2009, Napa County approved the entitlements for Phase 1 of the Napa Logistics Park. These entitlements included a use permit, tentative parcel map, and development agreement for a 646,000-square-foot warehouse on 38 acres of the project site. In 2011, the City of American Canyon 260

The Napa Logistics Park applicant completed the Phase 1 warehouse in 2016 and the building is used as an IKEA customer fulfillment center.
In 2015, the American Canyon City Council certified the Napa Logistics Park Phase 2 EIR and approved entitlements including a use permit, vesting tentative subdivision map, design permits, engineering design exceptions, and a development agreement. The EIR contemplated the development of a 2.27-million-square-foot logistics center on 173 acres of the project site.
In 2017, the Napa Logistics Park applicant requested, and the City of American Canyon approved, the extension of the term of the development agreement to 10 years. The Napa Logistics Park applicant subsequently received design permits for two warehouses (702,000 square feet and 363,000 square feet); the warehouses were developed and are tenanted by Biaggi Bros and Amazon, respectively.
The final developable parcel was acquired by PG&E for the development of the Napa Regional Center, a maintenance and operations facility.
2.2.3 - Napa Airport Corporate Center
The approximately 50-acre Napa Airport Corporate Center property is northeast of the Giovannoni project site and has been through several rounds of entitlements.
In 2018, the American Canyon City Council certified the Napa Airport Corporate Center EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2014122005) and approved entitlements including a use permit, vesting tentative subdivision map, design permits, engineering design exceptions, and a development agreement. The EIR contemplated the development of a 550,000-square-foot business park on the 50-acre project site. The EIR included an option for a fuel station/convenience store/quick serve restaurant in lieu of a warehouse on one of the parcels.
In 2017, prior to the approval of the Napa Airport Corporate Center entitlements, the Napa Vallejo Waste Management Authority (NVWMA) acquired a 15-acre parcel from the property owner. In 2020, the NVWMA Board of Directors approved the development of an enclosed Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling Facility on approximately 9 acres of the parcel. The NVWMA processed an Addendum to the Napa Airport Corporate Center EIR.
2.2.4 - Devlin Road and Napa Valley Vine Trail Extension Project The City of American Canyon adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2018122031) for the Devlin Road and Napa Valley Vine Trail Extension Project on October 1, 2019.
The project consisted of the extension of Devlin Road from Green Island Road to Middleton Way (Napa Logistics Park) and associated construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail along this roadway segment. The extended roadway would have one 14-foot travel lane in each direction and a 12-foot two-way left turn lane. A roundabout would be located at the intersection of Devlin Road/Boone Road. A three-way stop would control the Devlin Road/Green Island Road intersection. The majority of the 3,084-foot segment would be located within the Giovannoni Property.
The City of American Canyon’s Circulation Element contemplates the completion of Devlin Road between Green Island Road and Middleton Way (Segment H). The improvement is programmed into 261

The City has been collecting fees from new development projects to pay for Segment H and it is fully funded. The applicant previously dedicated an approximately 8-acre strip of land to the City of American Canyon for this extension. Construction began in Summer 2021.
2.2.5 - Green Island Road Reconstruction and Widening Project The City of American Canyon adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse No. 2019089082) for the Green Island Road Reconstruction and Widening Project on October 1, 2019.
The project consisted of improvements to a 1.86-mile segment of Green Island Road between SR-29 and a cul-de-sac and include the following:
• Addition of a two-way left turn center lane on Green Island Road (0.80 mile). • Construction of the Napa Valley Vine Trail Class I bicycle/pedestrian path along the north side of Green Island Road.
• Installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalks at several locations along the roadway corridor. • Improvement the structural section on the internal roads within existing curb and gutter. • Reconstruction and improvement of the two at-grade railroad crossings. • Relocation of existing overhead utilities to a new underground joint trench. • Installation of light-emitting diode (LED) street lighting.
The City was awarded funding from the United States Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration to pay for the proposed improvements.
2.3 - Project Characteristics
2.3.1 - Project Summary
The applicant, Buzz Oates LLC, is proposing to develop a 2.4-million-square-foot logistics center on approximately 163 acres of the approximately 208-acre project site. The remaining 44.8 acres would be preserved as open space/wetland preserve.
The applicant has developed design-level site plans for Phase 1 of the proposed project, which includes a 94.7-acre area east of the Devlin Road extension. This area will support two high-cube warehouse buildings totaling 1,069,904 square feet. One of the buildings would be rail-served by the adjacent Napa Branch Line. Each building would provide docks, grade level roll-up doors, and trailer parking stalls. The facility would be enclosed with a secure perimeter and access would be restricted to authorized users.
Phase 2 of the proposed project would occur on a 113.1-acre area west of Devlin Road. This area is conceptually proposed for the remaining 1.3 million square feet of high-cube warehouse. Phase 2 would commence once Phase 1 is completed. Accordingly, this environmental document evaluates Phase 1 at a project level and Phase 2 at a program level of analysis.

2.3.2 - Devlin Road Extension
As previously discussed, the City of American Canyon is extending Devlin Road approximately 3,084 linear feet from Green Island Road to Middleton Way (Napa Logistics Park). The Devlin Road extension is fully funded, the environmental review process was completed in 2019, and construction began in 2021. As such, the Devlin Road extension would be completed prior to Phase 1 of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project.
The City’s Sewer Master Plan contemplates a new 21-inch diameter gravity sewer line that would follow the planned extension of Devlin Road. At Green Island Road, the sewer line would continue west to the new Green Island Pump Station. Once operational, the existing 18-inch diameter force main would be abandoned, along with the Tower Road Pump Station.
The project applicant would construct the Napa Valley Vine Trail segment along the project frontage with Devlin Road frontage.
2.3.3 - Green Island Road Improvements
As previously discussed, the City of American Canyon would improve Green Island Road along the project frontage. The roadway would be widened to provide a two-way left turn lane and half width improvements would be installed along the project frontage, including the Napa Valley Vine Trail.
The new Green Island Road/Devlin Road intersection would provide turn lanes. The project applicant would dedicate right-of-way to the City for the Green Island Road widening. The Green Island Road improvements are fully funded, and the environmental review process was completed in 2019. As such, the Green Island Road improvements may be completed prior to Phase 1 of the proposed Giovannoni Logistics Center Project. The project applicant would construct the Napa Valley Vine Trail segment along the project frontage with Green Island Road. 263

2.3.6 - Open Space Preservation
The applicant proposes to establish an Open Space Wetland Preserve (Preserve) to conserve and manage vernal pool and other wetland and grassland resources (including foraging habitat for Swainson’s hawk and other birds of prey) in perpetuity; and to offset wetland impacts associated with the proposed project, and additional wetland impacts that may occur in the future as part of the possible development of a second phase of the project (referred to herein as the “Phase 2”), as described in more detail in the Biological Resource section of the Draft EIR, below.
The preserve is proposed to consist of approximately 44.8 acres on the northern portion of the site (Section 3.3, Biological Resources, Exhibit 3.3-4). This area coincides with the portion of the project site where No Name Creek meanders and would create a contiguous open space area with approximately the adjoining 37-acre Napa Logistics Park Wetland Preserve.
The project proposes to establish a conservation easement held by a third-party conservation entity.
Additionally, a resource agency approved Wetland Preserve Interim and Long-term Management Plan would be prepared and implemented, which would include monitoring, and the requirement to establish an adequate endowment fund to support in perpetuity conservation and management of the biological resources of the Preserve.

2.3.7 - Storm Drainage
The proposed project would provide 110,766 square feet (2.6 acres) of storm drainage retention onsite. A network of underground piping ranging from 12 to 48-inches in diameter would convey runoff to bioretention and detention basins in the northern portion of the property.
2.3.8 - Utilities
Water
The City of American Canyon would provide potable water and recycled water service to the proposed project. Potable and recycled water infrastructure would be installed within the Devlin Road extension. Service laterals would extend from water lines within Green Island Road and Devlin Road to project buildings.
Wastewater
The City of American Canyon would provide wastewater collection and treatment service to the proposed project. Sewer infrastructure would be installed within the Devlin Road extension. Service laterals would extend from sewer lines within Green Island Road and Devlin Road to project buildings.
Electricity and Natural Gas
Marin Clean Energy would procure, and PG&E would deliver electricity to the proposed project.
PG&E would procure and deliver natural gas to the proposed project. Electric and natural gas infrastructure would be installed within the Devlin Road extension. Service laterals would extend from facilities within Green Island Road and Devlin Road to project buildings.
2.3.9 - Grading and Earthwork
Rough grading would require 139,500 cubic yards of cut and 146,900 cubic yards of fill. Utility and development spoils would require 2,000 cubic yards of cut. In total, there would be 141,500 cubic yards of cut and 146,900 cubic yards of fill. Thus, there would be a need for 5,400 cubic yards of fill to be imported to the project site.
2.3.10 - Design and Appearance
Architecture
The warehouse buildings would be of Type VB construction, site cast, tilted concrete panels with a variety of architectural enhancements. The typical wall panels would be enhanced with reveals and a textured elastomeric, multicolored coating system. The areas around the building entries would also be enhanced with tinted glazing in aluminum frames with overhead steel-framed painted canopies.
The placement of these enhancements would be focused on those locations most visible from the public roadways. Exhibit 2-5 depicts the conceptual building renderings. 265

The proposed project would be landscaped using plants adapted to the City of American Canyon climate. Low-water-use plants would primarily be used, with moderate water use plants used at accent points, such as driveways and building entries. The landscape palette will not include oleander because it cannot be composted with other green waste.
2.3.11 - Sustainability Features
The proposed project would incorporate a variety of sustainable materials and construction practices including:
• A stormwater pollution prevention plan to minimize contamination, erosion, and dust pollution during construction. All stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces (roofs and paving) will be routed through a specially designed water quality detention and treatment basin. Additionally, on-site detention will be provided to meet the City of American Canyon standards.
• Storage and collection of recyclable materials.
• Construction waste management including recycling.
• Environmental tobacco smoke control.
• Heat reflecting roof membranes.
• Light pollution reduction.
• Water-efficient landscaping.
• Water use reduction methods.
• Low volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting sealants, adhesives, coatings, floorings, and wood materials.
• Roof structures designed to accommodate additional weight for roof-top photovoltaic electricity generation panel arrays.
• California Green Building Code compliant electric vehicle charging stations at seven locations. • The application of United States Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM) techniques and practices to the project design and construction.

2.3.13 - Buildout Horizon
For the purposes of providing a conservative, worst-case scenario, this Draft EIR assumes that Phases 1 and 2 would be developed concurrently over a period of 18 months.
As a practical matter, the proposed project would buildout over a period of years or decades. Phase 1 would be developed first, followed by Phase 2.
2.4 - Project Objectives and Underlying Purpose
The underlying purpose of the proposed project is to develop industrially zoned undeveloped land within the American Canyon city limits to its highest and best use.
The objectives of the proposed project are to:
1. Promote economic growth in American Canyon by attracting new industries.
2. Promote development that that generates net positive tax revenues for the City by generating more in new tax revenues than are consumed by City expenditures on services provided to the development.
3. Create new employment opportunities for residents of Napa County and the surrounding region.
4. Develop compatible land uses near the Napa County Airport in the interests of avoiding interference with aviation operations.
5. Improve American Canyon’s jobs-housing ratio by adding new employment opportunities.
6. Continue the orderly development of the Devlin Road corridor with a well-designed project.
7. Further the goals and policies of the City of American Canyon General Plan by developing land contemplated to support urban development to its highest and best use.
8. Preserve the most biologically sensitive portions of the project site as open space.
9. Install circulation improvements along Green Island Road and Devlin Road that provide efficient ingress and egress to the proposed project while also ensuring these facilities operate at acceptable levels.
10.Promote public safety by incorporating security measures into the project design.
11.Mitigate impacts on the environment through implementation of feasible mitigation measures.
2.5 - Intended Uses of this Draft EIR
This Draft EIR is being prepared by the City of American Canyon to assess the potential environmental impacts that may arise in connection with actions related to implementation of the proposed project. Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15367, the City of American Canyon is the lead agency for the proposed project and has discretionary 267

https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/5460/54600001/EIR/2 - Screencheck EIR/54600001 Sec02-00 Project Description.docx authority over the proposed project and project approvals. The Draft EIR is intended to address all future development and public infrastructure improvements that are within the parameters of the proposed project.
This Draft EIR is a combination of a project EIR and a program EIR. The Draft EIR provides a projectlevel analysis of the environmental effects of Phase 1 and programmatic analysis for Phase 2 of the Project.
The project-level analysis for Phase 1, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15161, provides sufficient detail to allow for approvals of all needed approvals and permitting for, as well as construction of, Phase 1 without any need for additional environmental review, provided that future project changes or changed circumstances do not trigger the need for some sort of subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 through 15164 (subsequent EIR, supplement to an EIR, or addendum to an EIR).
The programmatic level of analysis for Phase 2 has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168. Under Section 15168(c), “[l]ater activities in the program must be examined in the light of [a] program EIR to determine whether an additional environmental document must be prepared.” Two general outcomes are possible: the later activity may be found to be “within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR,” in which case “no new environmental document would be required;” or such a finding cannot be made, and a new project-specific Mitigated Negative Declaration or EIR would be required, depending on the severity of the effects of the later activity.
Section 15168(c)(4) directs that “[w]here the later activities involve site specific operations, the agency should use a written checklist or similar device to document the evaluation of the site and the activity to determine whether the environmental effects of the operation were within the scope of the program EIR.”
Section 15168(c)(2) provides that “[i]f the agency finds that pursuant to Section 15162, no subsequent EIR would be required, the agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be required.
Whether a later activity is within the scope of a program EIR is a factual question that the lead agency determines based on substantial evidence in the record. Factors that an agency may consider in making that determination include, but are not limited to, consistency of the later activity with the type of allowable land use, overall planned density and building intensity, geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts, and covered infrastructure, as described in the program EIR.” For any later activity covered in whole or in part in the program EIR, “[a]n agency shall incorporate feasible mitigation measures and alternatives developed in the program EIR into later activities in the program” (CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2)).
2.5.1 - Discretionary and Ministerial Actions
Discretionary approvals and permits are required by the City of American Canyon for implementation of the proposed project. The project application would require the following discretionary approvals and actions, including:

• Tentative Parcel Map
• Design Permits
• Lot Line Adjustment
Subsequent ministerial actions would be required for the implementation of the proposed project, including issuance of grading and building permits.
2.5.2 - Responsible and Trustee Agencies
Several other agencies in addition to the City of American Canyon will serve as Responsible and Trustee Agencies, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15381 and Section 15386, respectively. This Draft EIR will provide environmental information to these agencies and other public agencies, which may be required to grant approvals or coordinate with other agencies, as part of project implementation. These agencies or parties may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)
• California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
• California Public Utilities Commission
• San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) • Napa County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC)
• County of Napa
• Napa Valley Transportation Authority/Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition Actions that are necessary to implement the project that may be taken by other agencies are:
• Land Use Compatibility Review (ALUC)
• Issuance of Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (CDFW) • Issuance of Section 401 Water Quality Certification (RWQCB) • Issuance of Encroachment Permit (Caltrans and City of American Canyon) • Approval of General Order 33-B (California Public Utilities Commission) This document may also be used by United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), to facilitate its compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in connection with the 404 Permit required for the proposed project under the federal Clean Water Act. 269

Organization of Issue Areas
This Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) provides analysis of impacts for those environmental topics where it was determined in the Notice of Preparation, or through subsequent analysis, that the proposed project would result in “potentially significant impacts.” Sections 3.1 through 3.13 discuss the environmental impacts that may result with approval and implementation of the proposed project.
Issues Addressed in this Draft EIR
The following environmental issues are addressed in Chapter 3:
• Aesthetics, Light, and Glare
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
• Geology, Soils, and Seismicity
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy
• Hazards and Hazardous Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use
• Noise
• Public Services
• Transportation
• Utilities and Service Systems
Level of Significance
Determining the severity of project impacts is fundamental to achieving the objectives of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA Guidelines Section 15091 requires that decisionmakers mitigate, as completely as is feasible, the significant impacts identified in the Final EIR. If the EIR identifies any significant unmitigated impacts, CEQA Guidelines Section 15093 requires decisionmakers, approving a project, to adopt a statement of overriding considerations that explains why the benefits of the proposed project outweigh the adverse environmental consequences identified in the EIR.
The level of significance for each impact examined in this Draft EIR was determined by considering the predicted magnitude of the impact against the applicable threshold. Thresholds were developed using criteria from the CEQA Guidelines and checklist; State, federal, and local regulatory schemes; local/regional plans and ordinances; accepted practice; consultation with recognized experts; and other professional opinions.

3.1 - Aesthetics, Light, and Glare
3.1.1 - Introduction
This section describes the existing aesthetics, light, and glare setting and potential effects from project implementation on visual resources and the site and its surroundings. Descriptions and analysis in this section are based on-site reconnaissance by FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS), as well as review of the City of American Canyon General Plan.
3.1.2 - Environmental Setting
Visual Character
Regional Setting
American Canyon, population 20,837, is located in southern Napa County between the east bank of the Napa River and the Sulfur Springs Mountains foothills. State Route (SR) 29—known locally as Broadway Street—bisects the City from north to south and serves as the primary commercial corridor. Residential uses are generally located in the southern portion of the City, with commercial and industrial uses located in the northern portion near the Napa County Airport. American Canyon is characterized by a contemporary, low-rise, suburban appearance, with most development having occurred within the last 40 years.
Project Site
The approximately 208-acre project site contains undeveloped land. There are no structures on-site.
Vegetation consists of grasses and weeds. The project site gently slopes from east to west and the elevation ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern portion of the site. No Name Creek flows off the site at the northwestern corner of the property into the Napa Logistics Park wetland preserve. Small soil mounds are located in various places throughout the site.
The City of American Canyon owns an approximately 8-acre strip of land that bisects the site north to south. This strip of land would support the planned extension of Devlin Road from Middleton Way to Green Island Road, which was under construction as of Summer 2021.
Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-3 provides site photographs.
Surrounding Land Uses
West
The California Northern Railroad line, connecting American Canyon and Sonoma, and the Biagi Brothers distribution warehouse form the western boundary of the project site. The project site has unobstructed views of the railroad tracks and warehouse.
North
Devlin Road and the Napa Logistics Park form the northern boundary of the project site. Napa Logistics Park contains more than 2 million square feet of distribution warehouses as well as a planned Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) regional operations and maintenance center. 285

The project site has unobstructed views of Napa Logistics Park and partial views of the airport.
East
The Napa Branch Line, a railroad that connects American Canyon and Napa, forms the eastern boundary of the project site. East of the branch line are several industrial and commercial businesses that front SR-29. The project site has unobstructed views of the railroad tracks and the businesses that front SR-29.
South
Green Island Road, Crown Hill Stone Supply, and the Wine Direct Warehouse form the southern boundary of the project site. Further south are industrial and commercial businesses in the Green Island Business Park. The project site has unobstructed views of the businesses along the road.
Light and Glare
The project site does not currently contain any sources of light and glare. Parking lot lights that employ full cut-off fixtures are present at the adjoining Wine Direct Warehouse along Green Island Road. Surrounding developed land uses including the Napa Logistics Park, the Wine Direct Warehouse, and the Biagi Brothers distribution warehouse have exterior lighting for safety and security purposes.
3.1.3 - Regulatory Framework
Local
City of American Canyon
General Plan
The City of American Canyon General Plan sets forth the following goals, objectives, and policies relevant to aesthetics, light, and glare:
Goal 1B Provide for the orderly development of American Canyon that maintains its distinctive character.
Goal 1C Create a pattern and character of land use development that establishes American Canyon as a distinct “place” differentiated from adjacent urban areas, maintains a semi-rural character, and respects the environmental setting.
Objective 1.4 Provide for a pattern of development that (a) establishes distinct neighborhoods, districts, places of community activity and culture and open spaces that are interlinked and promote a cohesive image, (b) locates jobs, commerce, recreation, and other places of community activity within close proximity to all housing units, minimizing the need for vehicular use, (c) achieves a balance of uses to serve both sides of Highway 29, and (d) establishes an overall compact urban form surrounded by open space.

Policy 1.22.4 Require that development be designed to achieve a high level of quality and compatibility with existing uses including the consideration of the following:
a. Architectural treatment of all building elevations;
b. Use of extensive landscape along the primary street frontages and parking lots; and
c. Enclosure of storage areas visible from principal highways (including Highway 29) and peripheral residential and commercial districts with decorative screening or other elements.
Policy 1.22.5 Require that industrial areas developed as research and development and officeoriented business parks be designed to convey a unified character by consideration of Policy 1.22.4 and the following:
a. Inclusion of pedestrian walkways, arcades, and/or other visual elements to interconnect individual buildings;
b. Differentiation of building facades by materials, color, architectural details and modulation of building volumes;
c. Incorporation of extensive landscape in parking areas, along building frontages, and other public areas;
d. Use of consistent and well-designed public and informational signage; and e. Installation of elements that define the key entries to the industrial district.
3.1.4 - Methodology
FCS evaluated potential aesthetics, light, and glare impacts through site reconnaissance conducted in February 2021, as well as review of the City of American Canyon General Plan and project plans.
3.1.5 - Thresholds of Significance
Appendix G to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines is a sample Initial Study Checklist that includes questions for determining whether impacts to aesthetics are significant. These questions reflect the input of planning and environmental professionals at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the California Natural Resources Agency based on input from stakeholder groups and experts in various other governmental agencies, nonprofits, and leading environmental consulting firms. As a result, many lead agencies derive their significance criteria from the questions posed in Appendix G. The City has chosen to do so for this project. Thus, the proposed project would have a significant effect related to aesthetics if the proposed project would:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. 287

(Refer to Section 7, Effects Found not to be Significant.)
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).
d) In an urbanized area, conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality.
e) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.
3.1.6 - Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures
This section discusses potential impacts associated with the development of the project and provides mitigation measures where appropriate.
Scenic Vistas
Impact AES-1: The proposed project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.
Impact Analysis
Phases 1 and 2
The approximately 208-acre project site contains undeveloped land. There are no structures on-site.
Vegetation consists of grasses and weeds. The project site gently slopes from east to west and the elevation ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern portion of the site. No Name Creek flows off the site at the northwestern corner of the property into the Napa Logistics Park wetland preserve. Small soil mounds are located in various places throughout the site.
A scenic vista is defined as a viewing point that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape available to the general public. Scenic resources are defined as those landscape patterns and features that are visually or aesthetically pleasing and that, therefore, contribute positively and define a distinct community or region. Neither the City of American Canyon nor the Napa County General Plan identifies the project site as a scenic vista or scenic resource. Additionally, the project site does not contain any scenic vistas or features associated with scenic vistas (e.g., ridgelines, peaks, overlooks), nor are any such views visible from the project site.
The project site is located in a portion of the City of American Canyon that is generally not visible from park and recreational areas, community gathering facilities, or residential areas. There are no prominent long-distance views of the project site, and, as such, the proposed project would not have the potential to obstruct views from high vantage points or sensitive viewpoints of the City.
In summary, the proposed project would not adversely affect views to or from a scenic vista. Impacts would be less than significant.

Less than significant impact.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is necessary.
Level of Significance After Mitigation
Less than significant impact.
Visual Character
Impact AES-2: The proposed project would notsubstantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings.
Impact Analysis
The approximately 208-acre project site contains undeveloped land. There are no structures on-site.
Vegetation consists of grasses and weeds. The project site gently slopes from east to west and the elevation ranges from 50 feet to 35 feet above mean sea level. The headwaters of No Name Creek are located in the northwestern portion of the site. No Name Creek flows off the site at the northwestern corner of the property into the Napa Logistics Park wetland preserve. Small soil mounds are located in various places throughout the site.
The project vicinity includes Napa Logistics Park, the Green Island Business Park, two railroad lines, and the Napa County Airport. Generally, the project vicinity can be characterized as an active, contemporary industrial area.
Phase 1
Phase 1 consists of the development of 1,069,904 square feet of high-cube warehouse on 94.7 acres of the eastern portion of the project site. Two warehouse buildings would be developed (627,976 square feet and 469,512 square feet). The larger building would be rail-served by the adjacent Napa Branch Line. Both buildings would provide docks, grade-level roll-up doors, and trailer parking stalls.
The facility would be enclosed with a secure perimeter.
The high-cube warehouse buildings would be of Type VB construction, site cast, tilted concrete panels with a variety of architectural enhancements. The typical wall panels would be enhanced with reveals and a textured elastomeric, multicolored coating system. The roof would support mechanical equipment for the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system screened with a roof parapet and/or with roof screens equal in height to the mechanical equipment. The areas around the building entries would also be enhanced with tinted glazing in aluminum frames with overhead steel-framed painted canopies. The placement of these enhancements would be focused at those locations most visible from the public roadways. Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-5 depicts the building renderings.
The Phase 1 warehouses would be similar in appearance to the structures in the neighboring Napa Logistics Park and the Green Island Business Park.

These are the most significant aesthetic features on the project site.
Phase 2
Phase 2 would support up to 1.3 million square feet of high-cube warehouse on 113.1 acres of the western portion of the project site. Phase 2 is conceptual and no design-level plans have been prepared at the time of this writing. It would be expected that the Phase 2 buildings would be similar in appearance to the Phase 1 buildings.
Conclusion
Although the development of the proposed project would fundamentally and irreversibly change the visual character of the project site, it would be compatible with surrounding uses and consistent with the City of American Canyon General Plan land use designation of “Industrial” for the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would not substantially degrade the visual quality of the project area or its surroundings, and the impact related to changed character would be considered less than significant.
Level of Significance Before Mitigation
Less than significant impact.
Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is necessary.
Level of Significance After Mitigation
Less than significant impact.
Light and Glare
Impact AES-3: The proposed project may create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.
Impact Analysis
Phases 1 and 2
The project site does not currently contain any sources of light and glare. Parking lot lights that employ full cut-off fixtures are present in the adjoining Wine Direct Warehouse along Green Island Road. Nearby developed land uses, including Napa Logistics Park and the industrial uses south of Green Island Road, have exterior lighting for safety and security purposes.
The development of the proposed project would result in the installation of new sources of light and glare on the project site. These new sources of light include additional street lighting along internal roadways, building-mounted light fixtures, and pole-mounted light fixtures within parking areas.
Additionally, illuminated signage may be employed. Mitigation Measure (MM) AES-3 requires the project applicant to prepare and submit a photometric plan to the City of American Canyon for review and approval to demonstrate that all exterior light fixtures would be directed downward or employ full cut-off fixtures to minimize light spillage and avoid interference with aviation operations 290

3.2 - Air Quality
3.2.1 - Introduction
This section describes existing air quality conditions regionally and locally as well as the relevant regulatory framework. This section also evaluates the possible impacts related to air quality that could result from the implementation of the project. The information included in this section is based on project-specific air quality modeling results utilizing California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0, the American Meteorological Society (AMS)/United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model (AERMOD) air dispersion model (Version 21112). Complete modeling output is provided in Appendix B. The following comments related to Air Quality were received during the Notice of Preparation (NOP) scoping period:
• The Environmental Impact Report (EIR) should carefully assess and mitigate the proposed project’s impacts on air quality.
• Because of the proposed project’s proximity to residences and schools already disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of air pollution, the EIR should address the potential cumulative health impacts associated with the construction and operation of the proposed project.
• The EIR should specifically quantify and discuss the potential cancer risks from on-site Transport Refrigeration Units.
3.2.2 - Environmental Setting
Regional Geography and Climate
The City of American Canyon is located within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (Air Basin or SFBAAB). The Air Basin is approximately 5,600 square miles in area and consists of nine counties that surround the San Francisco Bay, including all of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, and Napa Counties; the southwestern portion of Solano County; and the southern portion of Sonoma County. The San Francisco Bay Area (Bay Area) has a Mediterranean climate characterized by mild, dry summers and mild, moderately wet winters, moderate daytime onshore breezes, and moderate humidity.
A semi-permanent, high-pressure area centered over the northeastern Pacific Ocean dominates the summer climate of the West Coast. Because this high-pressure cell is persistent, storms rarely affect the California coast during the summer. Thus, the conditions that persist along the coast of California during summer are a northwest airflow and negligible precipitation. A thermal low-pressure area from the Sonoran-Mojave Desert also causes air to flow onshore over the Bay Area much of the summer.
The steady northwesterly flow around the eastern edge of the Pacific High (a high-pressure cell) exerts stress on the ocean surface along the West Coast. This airflow pattern induces upwelling of cold water from below the surface. Upwelling produces a band of cold water off San Francisco that is approximately 80 miles wide. During July, the surface waters off San Francisco are 3°F (degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than those off Vancouver, British Columbia, more than 900 miles to the north. Air 293

This cooling is often sufficient to produce condensation, creating a high incidence of fog and stratus clouds along the Northern California coast in summer.
In summer, the northwest winds to the west of the Pacific coastline are drawn into the interior through the gap in the western Coast Ranges, known as the Golden Gate,1 and over the lower portions of the San Francisco Peninsula. Immediately to the south of Mount Tamalpais, the northwesterly winds accelerate considerably and come more nearly from the west as they stream through the Golden Gate.
This channeling of the flow through the Golden Gate produces a jet that sweeps eastward but widens downstream, producing southwest winds at Berkeley and northwest winds at San José; a branch also curves eastward through the Carquinez Straits and into the Central Valley. Wind speeds may be locally strong in regions where air is channeled through a narrow opening such as the Golden Gate, the Carquinez Strait, or San Bruno Gap. For example, the average wind speed at San Francisco International Airport from 3:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in July is about 20 miles per hour (mph), compared with only about 8 mph at San José and less than 7 mph at the Farallon Islands.
The sea breeze between the coast and the Central Valley2 commences near the surface along the coast in late morning or early afternoon; it may first be observed only through the Golden Gate. Later in the day, the layer deepens and intensifies while spreading inland. As the breeze intensifies and deepens, it flows over the lower hills farther south along the peninsula. This process frequently can be observed as a bank of stratus clouds “rolling over” the coastal hills on the west side of the Bay. The depth of the sea breeze depends in large part upon the height and strength of the inversion. The generally low elevation of this stable layer of air prevents marine air from flowing over the coastal hills. It is unusual for the summer sea breeze to flow over terrain exceeding 2,000 feet in elevation.
In winter, the SFBAAB experiences periods of storminess, moderate-to-strong winds, and periods of stagnation with very light winds. Winter stagnation episodes are characterized by outflow from the Central Valley, nighttime drainage flows in coastal valleys, weak onshore flows in the afternoon, and otherwise light and variable winds.
A primary factor in air quality is the mixing depth (the vertical air column available for diluting contaminant sources). Generally, the air temperature decreases with height, creating a gradient from warmer air near the ground to cooler air at elevation caused by the sun converting large amounts of energy to sensible heat at the ground, which warms the air at the surface. The warm air rises in the atmosphere, where it expands and cools. Sometimes, however, the temperature of air increases with height. This condition is known as a temperature inversion because the atmosphere's temperature profile is “inverted” from its usual state. Over the SFBAAB, the frequent occurrence of temperature inversions limits mixing depth and, consequently, limits the availability of air for dilution. 1 A strait on the West Coast of North America that connects the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. 2 A flat valley that dominates the geographical center of California stretching 450 miles from north-northwest to south-southeast, inland from and parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast. It is bound by the Sierra Nevada to the east and the Coast Range to the west. 294

Carbon
monoxide (CO)
CO is a colorless, odorless, toxic
gas. CO is somewhat soluble in
water; therefore, rainfall and
fog can suppress CO conditions.
CO enters the body through the
lungs, dissolves in the blood,
replaces oxygen as an
attachment to hemoglobin, and
reduces available oxygen in the
blood.
CO is produced by
incomplete combustion
of carbon-containing
fuels (e.g., gasoline,
diesel fuel, and
biomass). Sources
include motor vehicle
exhaust, industrial
processes (metals
processing and chemical
manufacturing),
residential
woodburning, and
natural sources.

exposure: slight headaches;
nausea; aggravation of angina

aspects of coronary heart
disease; decreased exercise
tolerance in persons with
peripheral vascular disease and
lung disease; impairment of

functions; possible increased
risk to fetuses; death.
Sulfur dioxide
(SO2)
Sulfur dioxide is a colorless,
pungent gas. At levels greater
than 0.5 parts per million
(ppm), the gas has a strong
odor similar to rotten eggs.
Sulfur oxides (SOX) include
sulfur dioxide and sulfur
trioxide. Sulfuric acid is formed
from sulfur dioxide, which can
lead to acid deposition and
can harm natural resources
and materials. Although sulfur
dioxide concentrations have
been reduced to levels well
below State and federal
standards, further reductions
are desirable because sulfur
dioxide is a precursor to
sulfate and PM10.
Human-caused sources
include fossil fuel
combustion, mineral ore
processing, and
chemical
manufacturing. Volcanic
emissions are a natural
source of sulfur dioxide.
The gas can also be
produced in the air by
dimethyl sulfide and
hydrogen sulfide. Sulfur
dioxide is removed from
the air by dissolution in
water, chemical
reactions, and transfer
to soils and ice caps.
The sulfur dioxide levels
in the State are well
below the maximum
standards.

is not clear whether the two
pollutants act synergistically or
one pollutant alone is the
predominant factor.

Toxic Air Contaminants
Concentrations of toxic air contaminants (TACs) are also used as indicators of air quality conditions.
TACs are defined as air pollutants that may cause or contribute to an increase in mortality or serious illness or pose a hazard to human health. TACs are usually present in minute quantities in the ambient air; however, their high toxicity or health risk may pose a threat to public health even at very low concentrations. TACs can cause long-term health effects (such as cancer, birth defects, neurological damage, asthma, bronchitis, or genetic damage) or short-term acute affects (such as eye watering, respiratory irritation, runny nose, throat pain, or headaches). For TACs that may cause 297

In other words, there is no threshold level below which some adverse health impacts are not expected to occur. This contrasts with the criteria pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide for which acceptable levels of exposure can be determined. The State and federal governments set ambient air quality standards.
TACs are separated into carcinogens and noncarcinogens based on the physiological effects associated with exposure to a particular TAC. Carcinogens are assumed to have no safe threshold below which health impacts would not occur. Cancer risk is typically expressed as excess cancer cases per million exposed individuals over a lifetime exposure or other prolonged duration. There is generally an assumed safe level of exposure for noncarcinogenic substances below which no negative health impact is believed to occur. These levels may vary depending on the specific pollutant. Acute and chronic exposure to noncarcinogens is expressed as a hazard index (HI), which is the ratio of expected exposure levels to an acceptable reference exposure level (REL).
To date, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) has designated nearly 200 compounds as TACs. The ARB has implemented control measures for several compounds that pose high risks and show potential for effective control. The majority of the estimated health risk from TACs can be attributed to a relatively few compounds, the most important being diesel particulate matter (DPM) from diesel-fueled engines. Common TACs of national and California concern include DPM, reactive organic gases (ROG), benzene, asbestos, hydrogen sulfide, sulfates, visibility-reducing particulates, vinyl chloride, and lead. Table 3.2-2 provides a summary of the types, sources, and effects of TACs.

matter (DPM)
DPM is a source of PM2.5—
diesel particles are typically 2.5
microns and smaller. Diesel
exhaust is a complex mixture of
thousands of particles and
gases that is produced when an
engine burns diesel fuel.
Organic compounds account
for 80 percent of the total PM
mass, which consists of
compounds such as
hydrocarbons and their
derivatives and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons and
their derivatives. Fifteen
polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons are confirmed
carcinogens, a number of
which are found in diesel
exhaust.
Diesel exhaust is a
major source of
ambient PM
pollution in urban
environments.
Typically, the main
source of DPM is
from combustion of
diesel fuel in dieselpowered engines.
Such engines are in
on-road vehicles
such as diesel
trucks, off-road
construction
vehicles, diesel
electrical
generators, and
various pieces of
stationary
construction
equipment.
Some short-term (acute) effects of
DPM exposure include eye, nose,
throat, and lung irritation, coughs,
headaches, light-headedness, and
nausea. Studies have linked
elevated particle levels in the air to
increased hospital admissions,
emergency room visits, asthma
attacks, and premature deaths
among those suffering from
respiratory problems. Human
studies on the carcinogenicity of
DPM demonstrate an increased
risk of lung cancer, although the
increased risk cannot be clearly
attributed to diesel exhaust
exposure.

VOCs ROGs, or VOCs, are defined as
any compound of carbon—
excluding carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, carbonic acid,
metallic carbides or
carbonates, and ammonium
carbonate—that participates in
atmospheric photochemical
reactions. Although there are
slight differences in the
definition of ROGs and VOCs,
the two terms are often used
interchangeably.
Indoor sources of
VOCs include paints,
solvents, aerosol
sprays, cleansers,
tobacco smoke, etc.
Outdoor sources of
VOCs are from
combustion and fuel
evaporation. A
reduction in VOC
emissions reduces
certain chemical
reactions that
contribute to the
formulation of
ozone. VOCs are
transformed into
organic aerosols in
the atmosphere,
which contribute to
higher PM10 and
lower visibility.
