CITY OF AVALON CITY COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: September 20, 2022 AGENDA ITEM:
ORIGINATING DEP: Finance CITY MANAGER:
PREPARED BY: Matthew Baker, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Fourth Quarter Treasurer’s Report RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): Adopt the resolution accepting the FY21-22 Fourth Quarter Treasurer’s Report.
REPORT SUMMARY: State and Municipal Codes require the Treasurer to submit within30 days following each fiscal quarter a report summarizing the City’s cash and investment balances. Attached is the Fourth Quarter Treasurer’s Report for FY21-22.
The purpose of the report is to inform on a quarterly basis, the City’s cash and investment balances, the investment types, yields, and market values, and to ensure you that the City’s investments are in compliance with the City’s adopted Investment Policy.
The report shows that all of the City’s funds are in compliance with its investment policy. Ingeneral, operating cash is held in US Bank checking accounts and the excess cash is invested in California’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), less than 0.86% interest, and various certificates of deposit (CDs), earning around 1.89% interest, as of June 30, 2022.
The unrestricted cash balance for the fourth quarter of 2021-2022 totaled $15.27 million. The unrestricted cash balance for the same quarter in the prior year was $8.41 million, whichincluded cash for enterprise funds (e.g. Sewer, Saltwater, and Solid Waste) not available for general government functions. The increase in unrestricted cash can be attributed to unprecedented growth in visitor-driven revenues over the past twelve months, significantly exceeding pre-COVID figures, as well as from savings realized by maintaining many of the cost saving measures implemented in response to the pandemic.
The cash balance in restricted accounts as of June 30, 2022 totaled $11.03 million, a decrease of $143 thousand compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in the market value in trust accounts.GOAL ALIGNMENT: Required disclosures.
FISCAL IMPACTS: None
ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to the Brown Act.

MEETING DATE: September 20, 2022 AGENDA ITEM:
ORIGINATING DEP: Finance CITY MANAGER: L2kZIJ
PREPARED BY: Matthew Baker, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Amendments to Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule RECOMMENDED ACTION(S): 1 Hear a presentation regarding amendments to theMiscellaneous Fee Schedule. 2. Open the Public Hearing to hear public comments. 3. Close thePublic Hearing. 4. If consensus, adopt the fee schedule as amended.
REPORT SUMMARY: On June 8, 2022, the City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. The City charges fees for miscellaneous public services, facility use/rental and activities. User fees are assessed and collected for City services and programs provided by various departments including:
• Recreation programs and facilities• Planning & building (reviews, inspections, variances, etc.)• Fire, Law Enforcement, Code Enforcement• Harbor operations and activities• Cemetery• Finance/Administrative Services• Public Works These are services that convey a benefit, grant a privilege, provide for review and enforcement of regulatory activities, enforce laws or are a condition of development. Under State law, cities may charge fees to recoup the direct and indirect costs related to the provision of user services.
Since its adoption, City Staff have identified new services and fees to be added to the schedule as well as typographical errors that need to be corrected from the previously adopted schedule.
In addition, Staff reorganized the fee schedule and enhanced descriptions to clarify the nature of certain fees.The following fees are new to the fee schedule:
• Outdoor Dining Permits• Noise Violation• Chair and Table Rentals• Basketball and Volleyball Court Rentals Staff have identified other areas of the fee schedule to be updated including the vehicle permit fees, transient rental licensing fee, and film permit fees. These fees require a more comprehensive analysis and will be addressed in a future fee schedule amendment. In addition,a notice of the public hearing was published in accordance with the applicable law.
GOAL ALIGNMENT: City costs will be offset by annual revenues.
FISCAL IMPACTS: Staff estimates that the new City fees, if adopted as proposed, should generate $5,000 in the General Fund and $15,000 in Harbor Fund revenues.CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: The costs of specialservices will not be fully funded by fees paid by the users of those services. The unfundedportion of user services will be subsidized by General City tax revenues and/or available fundbalances.FOLLOW UP ACTION: Adopt the attached resolution establishing city rates and fees for services.
ADVERTISING, NOTICE AND PUBLIC CONTACT: Pursuant to the Brown Act.ATTACHMENTS:

4-819. Prohousing Designation Program %t
Increasing the availability of housing statewide is critical to bettering the quality of life of all Californians and to ending homelessness. The 2019-2020 Budget Act provided a spectrum of support,incentives, and accountability measures to meet California’s housing goals, and provided for theestablishment of the Prohousing Designation Program. The Prohousing Designation Program providesincentives to cities and counties in the form of additional points or other preference in the scoring of competitive housing, community development, and infrastructure programs. The California Department of Housing and Community Development established the Prohousing Designation Programto administer these incentives.Local governments can receive a designation when implementing Prohousing policies and receive an advantage when applying for several funding programs including:
• Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC)• Infill Infrastructure Grant (hG)• Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Other programs may be added to the list after HCD engages with stakeholders and partner agencieson adding Prohousing points to other housing and non-housing programs.
The City of Avalon will pursue the Prohousing Designation to memorialize the City’s commitment to helping promote more affordable housing options. HCD is expected to assess the City’s Prohousing City of Avaton General Plan Housing Element Housing Plan Page 17 Policies using the following four scoring categories: Favorable Zoning and Land Use; Acceleration of Housing Production Timeframes; Reduction of Construction and Development Costs; and ProvidingFinancial Subsidies. The City must demonstrate that it has enacted or proposes at [east one policy that significantly contributes to the Acceleration of Housing Production in each of the fourcategories. A Prohousing Designation requires a total score of 30 points or more across all fourcategories (as of November 2021). As part of the application process, the City will identify thosestrategies that it already implements (i.e., establishment of streamlined, program-level CEQAanalysis and certification of general plans) and identify additional strategies for implementation inorder to further promote housing development in Avalon and achieve the required score to receivethe Prohousing Designation.
The City will work with HCD’s ongoing technical assistance team to submit an application by the endof 2022 with the objective of receiving the designation by March 2023.

4420+. Water AvailabilityWater availability is perhaps the most critical issue limiting residential development. Fresh water for drinking is supplied by Southern California Edison and saltwater is used for sanitary purposes and fireprotection. Avalon has a limited alluvial groundwater supply and thus obtains most of its presentneeds through local reservoirs.
Because water is such a limited resource on Catalina Island, the Southern California Edison has fresh water allocation policies which govern the issuance of new water permits and water rationing in periods of drought. Given the limited water supply, developers must receive water allocations from the Southern California Edison (SCE) prior to receiving City approval of new development.
Recognizing the importance of affordable housing, SCE reserves water supply allocation for low and moderate income housing.
The City of Avalon is committed to proactivelv do what it can to support Edison’s ability to 1) improvethe existing domestic water system and 2) expand its capacity. The City and Edison have collaboratedon this program and have identified two key ways the City can help address the topic of wateravailability. First, City will continue to maintain regular contact with Edison to coordinate elementsof Edison’s Water Master Plan with elements of the City’s General Plan so that they can complementone another; this coordination will happen at least annually. Additionally, to support future capacityincreases, the City will proactively communicate its support directly to the Authority HavingJurisdiction, as appropriate, during the public comment periods of proposed projects. This includesthe City communicating support for increased allocations to the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) to promote additional development in the City.
The City will also, on an annual basis, identify funding (State and federal funding and grants) available to support system upgrades and expansions and proactively share this information with SCEand discuss ways that the City can help support a successful application. This could include the CityCouncil adopting a Resolution in support of specific funding opportunities or planned improvements.
The City Council will continue to request regular updates from SCE (approximately quarterly) and City of Avalon General Plan Housing Element Housing Plan Page 18 wiLl identify, cotLaborativeLy, new or unique approaches available to improve the existing system and expand capacity.

The City of Avalon owns the wastewater conveyance system within City and contracts with a thirdparty professional for operation and maintenance. The City’s overall wastewater collection system is City of Avaton GeneraL Plan Housing Element Housing Plan Page 19 reguLated under the jurisdiction of the RegionaL Water Quality ControL Board, the State Water Resources ControL Board, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Within Avalon, there are approximately 10.2 miles of sewer ranging in diameter from 6-24 inches. Avalon’s sewer pipelines areold and Leaks have been identified throughout the system, contributing to the degradation of waterquaLity in Avalon Bay. AccordingLy, the City has taken action by completing a comprehensive inspection of the entire sewer colLection system to assess the condition of each pipeLine within the system.The results of this comprehensive inspection cuLminated in the Sewer Collection System Capital Improvement and 20-Year FinanciaL PLan (Capital Improvement and FinanciaL Plan), adopted in 2013.
The Capital Improvement and Financial PLan identifies facility and equipment requirements forsustaining, restoring, and modernizing the faciLities and infrastructure that support the wastewatercollection and treatment. It also prioritizes and schedules them for funding and implementationthrough a muLti-year pLan. The Sewer System Management Plan, updated in 2014, incLudes mitigation measures to address the issues identified through the comprehensive inspection sand the City is in theprocess of updating the capitaL improvement plan to remove deficiencies in the wastewater system.
According to comprehensive inspection, the local sanitary sewer system has adequate capacity to accommodate deyeLopment associated with General Plan buildout projections, which includes the RHNA. Nonetheless, individual deveLopments would be reviewed prior to project approval to determine if sufficient sewer capacity exists to serve the proposed development. The City charges fees for connecting to the sewerage system or increasing the existing strength and/or quantity ofwastewater attributable to a particular parceL or operation aLready connected. The fees are requiredto construct new sewer infrastructure and/or incrementaL expansions to the existing seweragesystem to accommodate individuaL deveLopment.The City is in the process of updating its Sewer Collection System CapitaL Improvement and 20-Year FinanciaL Plan (Capital Improvement and Financial Plan); this update is expected to be completed in 2022.

4. Quantified Objectives
Extremely Low Income 2
Low Income
State Law requires the Housing Element to include quantified objectives for the maximum number of units that can be constructed, rehabilitated or conserved. Policies and programs in the HousingElement establish the strategies to achieve these objectives. The City’s quantified objectives are described under each program, and represent the City’s best effort in implementing each of the programs. Assumptions are based on past program performance and funding availability, construction trends, Land availability, and future programs that wilt enhance program effectiveness and achievefull implementation of the City’s housing goals.
The primary obstacle to the development of new housing units in Avalon, at any income level, is the availability of domestic water. As discussed thoroughly in the Housing Element Background Report, there is a waiting list to receive a water allocation to serve the needs of new units in Avalon. TheCity will continue to work closely with Edison to strongly support the expansion of water availabilityin the City. It is the City’s objective to support expansion of the City’s affordable housing stock and support the development of all of its 27-unit RHNA allocation for 2021 -2029. However, it must be recognized that the City’s influence on these decisions is limited, and the City itself cannot control the increase in water allocations to the Island. Historic patterns of development indicate that despite having sufficient vacant land available for development, and a supportive development partner in the Santa Catalina Island Company, availability of water will Limit development in the City to Levels below its RHNA.
The new construction objectives shown in the table below represent a portion of the City’s overall RHNA for the 2021-2029 planning period for all income levels. The objective identified for each income level is based on historic trends and patterns of development; units affordable to lowerincome households are historically more difficult to develop due to extremely limited available funding for affordable housing projects. Moderate- and above-moderate income units are more likely to be developed by the private market. All new development is Limited by the ability to secure asufficient water allocation.
The table below summarizes the City’s quantified objectives for housing during the 2021 -2029 planning period.TABLE 1: QLANTIFIED H0USNG OBJECTIVES: 2021-2029 2 New Conservationl

Dear Susanna Gutierrez:RE: City of Avalon’s 6th Cycle (2021 -2029) Revised Draft Housing Element Thank you for submitting the City of Avalon’s (City) revised draft housing element received for review on August 2, 2022. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.
The revised draft element meets the statutory requirements described in HCD’s April 12, 2022 review. The housing element will comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code) when it is adopted, submitted to and approved byHCD, in accordance with Government Code section 65585.For your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), as the City failed to adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the statutorydeadline (October 15, 2021), Program 15 (Adequate Sites for Lower Income Households on Nonvacant and Vacant Sites Previously Identified) to rezone 1.52 acres to accommodate 30 units of the lower income regional housing needs allocation must be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. Otherwise, the local government’s housing element will no longer comply with State Housing Element Law,and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance pursuant to GovernmentCode section 65585, subdivision (i). Please be aware, if the City fails to adopt acompliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline, the elementcannot be found in substantial compliance until rezones to accommodate a shortfall ofsites pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c), paragraph (1),subparagraph (A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c) arecompleted.
Susanna Gutierrez, Assistant Planner
Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City must continue to engage the community, including organizations thatrepresent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available while considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please beaware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s websiteand to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.
Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing elementcompliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill(SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reportingrequirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City meets housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.
For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the TechnicalAdvisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://wwvv.opr.ca.gov/planninq/general-plan/quidelines.html.HCD appreciates the efforts demonstrated in preparation of the City’s housing element and looks forward to receiving the City’s adopted housing element.

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The City of Avalon is the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). OnJuly 16, 2013, the City Council adopted the 2030 Avalon General Plan/Local Coastal Plan (2030 GP/LCP), including the Housing Element, and certified the 2030 General Plan/Local Coastal Plan Final Environmental Impact Report (General Plan/LCP FEIR) (State Clearinghouse #2011091042)) The City now proposes the current 2021-2029 Housing Element for the 6tb cycle (referenced herein as “Modified Project” or “Project”). The Modified Project involves minor changes/additions to theHousing Element in compliance with State Housing Element Law Government Code Sections65580-65590.1.
Following preliminary review of the proposed Housing Element Update, the City of Avalon, as Lead Agency, has determined that the proposed Project is subject to CEQA (Public Resources Code [PRC] Sections 21000-21177). This Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR has been prepared by theCity to demonstrate that the proposed Housing Element Update does not meet the conditionswarranting preparation of a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, as the General Plan/LCP FEIR fullyanalyzed the potential environmental impacts associated with the Housing Element Update, asdescribed further.
1.2 CEQA REQUIREMENTS
The purpose of this Addendum is to analyze any potential differences between the impacts identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR and those that would be associated with the proposed Project. Pursuant to provisions of CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines the City is the Lead Agency charged with the responsibility of deciding whether to approve the Project. As part of its decisionmaking process, the City is required to review and consider whether the proposed Project wouldcreate new significant impacts or significant impacts that wou1d be substantially more severe thanthose disclosed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR.Additional CEQA review beyond this Addendum would only be triggered if the Project created new significant impacts or impacts that are more severe than those disclosed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR used to approve the Avalon General Plan in 2013. To use an Addendum as the appropriate CEQA document for the proposed Project, the City must find that major revisions to the General Plan/LCP FEIR are not necessary and that none of the conditions described in State CEQAGuidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of additional CEQA documentation has occurred.In accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines, prior to approving further discretionary action anddepending upon the situation, the lead agency must generally either: (1) prepare a SubsequentErR; (2) prepare a Supplemental EIR; (3) prepare a Subsequent Negative Declaration; (4) preparean Addendum to the EIR or Negative Declaration; or (5) prepare no further documentation. (SeeState CEQA Guidelines, § 15162 — 15164.) State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 states:
city council Resolution 13-14.
Introduction 1-1
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
When an FIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent FIRshall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantialevidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous FIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significantenvironmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previouslyidentified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous FIR orNegative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significanteffects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previousFIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous FIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous FIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or moresignificant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines explains when an Addendum to an EIR is appropriate.Per this section, where some changes or additions are necessary to the previously certified FIR,but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequentFIR (as described above) have occurred, then the lead agency is directed to prepare an Addendum to the certified FIR (State CFQA Guidelines, § 15164). Further, the Addendum should include a “brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent FIR pursuant to Section 15162,” and that “explanation must be supported by substantial evidence” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15164 [e]). The Addendum need not be circulated for public review but may simply be attached to the certified FIR (State CFQA Guidelines, § 15164 [c]).

1.3 INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
The documents outlined below, which were utilized during preparation of this Addendum and are a matter of public record, are hereby incorporated by reference.
Avalon 2030 General Plan/Local Coastal Plan
The City Council comprehensively adopted the City of Avalon 2030 General Plan/Local Coastal Plan on July 16, 2013. The General Plan is a comprehensive legal document that sets forth the City’s long-range planning policies and serves as the guiding document for achieving the community’s vision for the future. The General Plan contains goals, policies, and programs to guide land use and development, and is organized into seven mandatory “elements” in accordance with California Government Code Section 65302: Land Use, Housing, Circulation, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, and Safety. For the 2030 Avalon General Plan/Local Coastal Plan, these elements are organized into Land Use, Open Space, Conservation, Housing, Circulation, Safety, and Noise Elements. The 6th Cycle Housing Element Update is the subject of this Addendum Land Use Element Table 2-2 presents the Land Use Plan’s buildout potentials and assumptions.Full implementation of the General Plan is anticipated to result in a total of 4,821 permanent residents and 2,920 dwelling units.
Avalon General Plan Final EIR
The City Council adopted the General Plan/LCP FEIR on July 16, 2013. The General Plan/LCP FEIR provides a program-level analysis of the general environmental impacts resulting from the development of land uses and implementation of policies established within the 2030 GeneralPlan/Local Coastal Plan. The General Plan/LCP FEIR’s analysis is based on the change between development under existing conditions (at the time of document preparation) and those projected for likely development in accordance with the General Plan by theoretical expected developmentcapacity. Based on General Plan/LCP FEIR Table 2-3, the General Plan/LCP FEIR assumed and analyzed the environmental impacts resulting from the following2: approximately 1,041 additional persons and 631 additional dwelling units. The City’s projected population resulting from full implementation of the General Plan is 4,821 persons. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that full implementation of the General Plan would result in less than significant impacts or less than significant impacts with the implementation of mitigation measures for all issue areas analyzed.
The General Plan/LCP FEIR’s background and policy information and environmental impact conclusions are cited throughout this Addendum.
Avalon Municipal Code
The City of Avalon Municipal Code consists of the City’s regulatory and penal ordinances, and certain administrative ordinances. The City’s Zoning Ordinance is codified into Title 9, Planning andZoning. The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is: to encourage, classify, designate, regulate,restrict, and segregate the highest and best location and use of buildings, structures, and land to serve the needs of residences, commerce, industry, and other purposes in appropriate places; to These numbers represent the expected net change in Planning Area Totals from existing 2012 (baseline) to expected development capacity, as calculated in the 2030 General Plan/Local Coastal Plan, Introduction 1-3

2 ADDENDUM FINDING
As detailed herein, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR is not appropriate for the proposed Project because none of the criteria permitting such a document under State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 are met.
The 2021-2029 Housing Element Update would result in no new significant impacts that were not analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR, nor would the proposed Project cause a substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified environmental impacts. The potential impacts associated with the proposed Project would either be the same or less than those described in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. In addition, there are no substantial changes to the circumstances under which theproposed Project would be undertaken that would result in new or more severe environmentalimpacts than previously addressed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR, nor has any new informationregarding the potential for new or more severe significant environmental impacts been identified.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, this Addendum to the previously certified General Plan/LCP FEIR is the appropriate environmental documentation for the proposed Project. In taking action on any of the approvals, the decision-making body must consider the whole of the data presented in the Final EIR and the previously adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).On February 10, 2022, the City Council adopted the Addendum in connection with the adoption of the Housing Element. After adoption of the Housing Element, the City received comments fromthe California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The adopted Housing Element was amended in response to HCD’s comments. The 2021-2029 Housing Element Update, as revised in response to HCD’s comments, does not create any new program or policy that wouldpermit residential development where it is not otherwise permitted. As such, it was determined that the revisions to the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update do not result in any new or greaterenvironmental impacts than were previously analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated, and that it is stillappropriate for the City to rely on the Addendum. It was further determined that a supplementalor subsequent EIR do not need to be prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.

3 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
3.1 BACKGROUND
3.1.1 HOUsING ELEMENTS AND REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION The Housing Element is a State-mandated element of the General Plan. The City of Avalon must update its Housing Element every eight years. Updates to the Housing Element must meet therequirements of California Government Code Sections 65580-65589. The purposes of the Housing Element are to identify the community’s housing needs; to state the community’s goals and objectives with regard to housing production, rehabilitation, and conservation to meet those needs;and to define the policies and programs that the community will implement to achieve the statedgoals and objectives.State law requires that the City accommodate its “fair share” of regional housing needs, which are assigned by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) for all jurisdictions in theSCAG region (counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura).SCAG established the 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) to assign each city and the unincorporated county in the region its fair share of the regional housing need based on a number of factors established by State law (Government Code Section 65584) and regional housing burdens and needs. The objectives of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) are:
• Increase housing supply and the mix of housing types;• Promote infill, equity, and environment; • Ensure jobs housing balance and fit;• Promote regional income equity; and• Affirmatively further fair housing.
Beyond the income-based housing needs established by the RHNA, the Housing Element must also address special needs groups; such as seniors, persons with disabilities including developmentaldisabilities, single female parents, large families, farm workers, and homeless persons.
3.2 PROJECT LOCATION AND SETTING
The City of Avalon (City) is a unique, tourist-oriented community located on the island of Santa Catalina, 22 miles southwest of the Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors; refer to Figure 1, Regional Location. Santa Catalina tsland is 76 square miles in area, with approximately 88 percent of the land comprised of a conservancy area maintained in its natural state in perpetuity. TheGeneral Plan planning area for Avalon encompasses approximately 7.07 square miles, which includes the corporate City limits of approximately 2.81 square miles, or 1,798 acres of land, as well as three areas of unincorporated Los Angeles County that lie adjacent to the City and may be considered for future annexation. These unincorporated areas (known in this document as the proposed “Expansion Areas”) total about 2,727 acres and include a landfill and quarry area as well as open space. The City strives to serve the needs of its permanent residents and the tourist population while protecting the natural resources that make it a popular destination, Description of the Proposed Project 3-1
City of Avalon 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
The 2030 GP/LCP Land Use Element designates the general distribution and intensity of uses of the land for housing, business, industry, open space, education, public buildings and grounds,waste disposal facilities, and other categories of public and private use (Table IT-i of the Land Use Element). Table 1, Avalon 2030 GP/LCP Land Use Districts, summarizes the land uses identified in the 2030 GP/LCP.
Adjacent to current City limits, the 2030 GP/LCP identifies three potential “annexation areas”:
• Expansion Area No. 1 — This area is located in a landfill and quarry area south of Pebbly Beach. Within this area, light industrial uses are planned, with the potential to transition over time to more visitor-serving uses as part of a Pebbly Beach Specific Plan Overlay District.
• Expansion Area No. 2 — This area consists of various parcels between Hamilton Cove and the Divide Road. This area would facilitate Resort/Recreational land uses. • Expansion Area No. 3 — This area is located between the City limits separating Pebbly Beach and the eastern boundary of Avalon Canyon. More open uses within City limits would occur here.
The Land Use Element is primarily implemented by the City’s Zoning Ordinance, which specifies districts and performance standards for various types of land uses described in the General Plan.
Each General Plan land use designation has a corresponding zone or zones that implement andregulate the intent of the land use. The zone districts specify the permitted uses for each category and applicable development standards.
The General Plan identifies the expected development capacity associated with the distribution of planned land uses specified in the Land Use Plan (Table 11-2 of the Land Use Element). Table 2, Avalon 2030 GP/LCP Expected Residential Development Capacity, summarizes the expecteddevelopment capacity for residential uses within Avalon based on reasonable density assumptionsfor the City and SOl.

The area is currently utilized for light industrial purposes. In the near term, the area wilt continue to be ‘used for industrial uses. However, if it is determined that such uses are no longer necessary or viable a specific plan is tobe develooed to guide the possible eventual transition to other uses thattake advantage of this area’s coastal location. It is anticipated that new landsuses may include visitor-serving facilities such as a new puolic dock/ferryterminal, commercial retail, restaurants, hotels/motels, andior recreational facilities that serve both residents and visitors
Lover’s Cove-Specific Plan Overlay The LC-SP overlay identifies the area above Lover’s Cove and surrounding areaDistrict (LC-SP) for eventual development of a specific plan. This area is currently undeveloped.
However, if development is anticipated in the future, a specific plan is to be developed to guide the possible eventual transition to other uses that take advantage of this area’s views and proximity to visitor services. It is anticipated that the area may be utilized for visitor serving facilities such as a hotel, spa. orsocial and educational facility Recreation/Open Space
Resort Recreational High Density The RR-HD designation accommodates a variety of uses associated with the resort (RR-HD) character of Avalon. Appropnate land uses include hotels, inns and lodges, as well as parks and mobile home parks.

3.3 CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED PROJECT
REVISIONS/ADDITIONS
The project analyzed in this Addendum involves the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update. The proposed amendment would not modify the City of Avalon General Plan Land Use Map, land use designations, or intensities/densities identified within the General Plan Land Use and Community Design Element. No changes to the maximum development potential approved for the GeneralPlan and analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FE would occur with the proposed amendment.
3.3.1 HousiNG ELEMENT
In compliance with State Housing Element Law requirements, the City of Avalon has prepared the2021-2029 Housing Element (Project) to:
• Provide goals, policies, quantified objectives and scheduled programs to preserve, improve and develop housing
• Identify and analyze existing and projected housing needs for all economic segments of the community
• Identify adequate sites that are zoned and available within the 8-year housing cycle to meet the City’s fair share of regional housing needs at all income levels • Affirmatively further fair housing• Be certified (approved) by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as complying with State law
• Be internally consistent with other parts of the General Plan Housing Element Organization
The proposed Housing Element Update covers the October 15, 2021 through October 15, 2029 planning period and is comprised of the following components:Part 1: Housing Plan Part 1 of the 2021-2029 Housing Element is the City’s “Housing Plan”, which includes the goals, policies, and programs the City will implement to address constraints and needs. The City’s overarching objective is to ensure that decent, safe housing is available to all current and futureresidents at a cost that is within the reach of the diverse economic segments which comprise Avalon. The Housing Plan includes only minor modifications to the City’s current Housing ElementGoals and Policies. The Housing Plan includes a number of new programs to address State housing law including future required updates to the Avalon Municipal Code, new programs to support affirmatively furthering fair housing, and tracking and reporting requirements for Housing Sites.
Part 2: Background Repor:Part 2 of the 2021-2029 Housing Element is the “Background Report” which identifies the nature and extent of Avalon’ housing needs, including those of special populations, potential housing resources (land and funds), potential constraints to housing production, and energy conservationopportunities. In addition to identifying housing needs, the Background Report also presents information regarding the setting in which these needs occur. The Background Report Description of the Proposed Project 3-4

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEW
comprehensively updates the background context and conditions identified in the City’s current Housing Element.
Appendix A: Housng Sftes Inventory
The Housing Element must include an inventory of land suitable and available for residential development to meet the City’s regional housing need by income level. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) requires that the Housing Sites Inventory be prepared using a State-approved format, included as Appendix A. No land use changes areproposed to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). All sites identified in the City’s Housing Sites Inventory are currently identified for new development consistent with the potential development capacities identified in Appendix A.
Appendix B: Public Engagement Surnrna’yAs part of the Housing Element Update the process, the City hosted numerous opportunities for the community and key stakeholders to provide feedback on existing housing conditions, housing priorities, priority areas for new residential growth, and topics related to fair housing. Public engagement was facilitated in both English and Spanish to further engage the Avalon community.
Public participation played an important role in the refinement of the City’s housing goals andpolicies and in the development of new housing programs, as included in Part 1: Housing Plan. Thepublic’s input also helped to validate and expand upon the contextual information included in Part2: Background Report. The City’s efforts to engage the community in a meaningful and comprehensive way are summarized in Appendix B,
Capacity to Meet Regional Housing Needs
As determined by SCAG, the City of Avalon’ fair share allocation (RHNA) is 27 new housing unitsduring this planning cycle. This includes: eight (8) units affordable to extremely/very low income households; five (5) units affordable to low income households; three (3) units affordable tomoderate income households; and 11 units affordable to above moderate income households.
State Income Limits which are used to determine affordability levels are set annually by theCalifornia Department of Housing and Community Development.
Pogress Towards the RHNA
RHNA uses June 30, 2020 as the baseline for growth projections for the 2021-2029 planning period.
Jurisdictions may count toward the RHNA housing units that have been developed, are under construction, and/or have received their building permits after June 30, 2020. Since this time, nine(9) housing units have been developed, are under construction, or have received their buildingpermits in Avalon; these units are part of the Hamilton Cove development and expected to be affordable to above-moderate income households. Jurisdictions may also count projects that areapproved/entitled but not yet built or under construction. Seven (7) units have been approved/entitled and are expected to be developed within the planning period; these units are part of the Hamilton Cove development and are expected to be affordable to above-moderateincome households. Based on this progress, the City has already achieved approximately 60 percent of its overall RHNA with housing units constructed, under construction, or approved/entitled or under review (16 units); all of these units are in the above-moderate incomecategory. With these units taken into account, the City has fulfilled its allocation of above-moderate Description of the Proposed Project 3-5

Residential Stes Inventory to Accommodate Remaining RHNA The City has sufficient land appropriately zoned for residential uses throughout the community to accommodate its remaining RHNA (16 units) for the 2021-2029 planning period. The City ofAvalon’s 6th Cycle residential sites fall into two categories:
1) Accessory dwelling units (ADUs). ADUs are allowed on any lot that is zoned for singlefamily or multifamily dwelling residential use. The City of Avalon did not approve any ADUs in 2018 or 2019. However, once the City updated and began implementing itsADU Ordinance, three ADUs were approved and permitted in 2020. The City hasassumed an average of one ADU every two years for the eight (S) year planning period, for a total projection of eight (4) units.
2) Vacant Catalina Island Company-Owned Property Zoned for Residential. One partically vacant site owned by the Catalina Island Company, Tremont Street, is included as the most appropriate site to accommodate the City’s remaining RHNA. The site could yield a capacity of at least 24 units during the 2021-2029 planning period.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSES
This Addendum has been prepared to determine whether the proposed Project would result in any new or substantially increased significant environmental impacts in comparison to the approvedproject as analyzed in the previously certified General Plan/LCP FEIR. This section of the Addendum provides analysis and cites substantial evidence that support’s the City’s determination that theproposed Project does not meet the criteria for preparing a subsequent or supplemental EIR under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
The scope of the City’s review of the proposed Project is limited by provisions set forth in CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. This review is limited to evaluating the environmental effectsassociated with the proposed Project to the General Plan Project as set forth in the FEIR. This Addendum also reviews new information, if any, of substantial importance that was not known andcould not have been known with the exercise of reasonable due diligence at the time the FUR was certified. This evaluation includes a determination as to whether the changes proposed by the Project would result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in a previouslyidentified significant impact.
The section is patterned after the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Checklist and provides a summary of impacts associated with the proposed actions, as described in the FEIR, and includes an analysis of the potential impacts associated with the proposed 2021-2029 Housing Element Update. Thiscomparative analysis provides the City with the factual basis for determining whether any changes in the Project, any changes in circumstances, or any new information since the FEIR was certified would require additional environmental review or preparation of a Subsequent EIR or Supplemental EIR.

4.1 AESTHETICS
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the project:a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
b. Substantially damage scenic resources,
including, but not limited to, trees, rock
outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway?
c. In non-urbanized areas, substantially
degrade the existing visual character orquality of public views of the site and itssurroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly X
accessible vantage point). If the projectis in an urbanized area, would the projectconflict with applicable zoning and otherregulations governing scenic quality? d. Create a new source of substantial light
or glare which would adversely affect Xday or nighttime views in the area? General Plan/LCP FUR Conclusions
There are no officially designated scenic highways in the City of Avalon or the immediately surrounding unincorporated areas within Avalon’s identified Sphere of Influence. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEW concluded that implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP would not result in any impacts to scenic highways.
The urban fabric of Avalon is relatively compact, with approximately 80-90 acres of existing development already located within the valley floor and the immediately surrounding hillsides, with just over 700 additional acres surrounding the built environment as open space. This existing land use pattern is well established and therefore it is not anticipated to change drastically over time.
Avalon’s vision for managed growth under the proposed 2030 GP/LCP is centered primarily uponan infill development strategy, which would focus more intense and compact development within the already urbanized City Center in lieu of allowing significant expansion of development opportunities outward into Avalon’s hillsides, natural areas and open spaces. However, the potential future development opportunities envisioned within the 2030 GP/LCP and the land uses proposed as part of the 2030 GP/LCP Land Use Element have the potential to impact Avalon’s scenic resources and overall visual quality.

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
Although it is Avalon’s desire to promote an infill development strategy as part of the 2030 GP/LCP,this strategy could potentially allow increases in building height to accommodate mixed-use development types. The mixture of commercial and visitor serving uses on the ground floor with residential uses above along with potential increases in building heights have the potential toimpact views of the waterfront from Avalon Bay and the City Center, views from the pedestrian/vehicle circulation routes, and views of the surrounding ridgelines from the City Center.
Increased building heights could also impact views of the Pacific Ocean from the surrounding residential properties, and from vista points surrounding resort/recreational uses. To help reduce potential impacts, the 2030 GP/LCP envisions only minor increases in building heights andincreased building heights only in areas set back substantially from the waterfront. The increased setbacks would help retain the current site lines to the beachfront, intermediate ridges, and the island divide ridges. The 2030 Land Use Element also envisions concentrating more intense mixeduse development along “corridors of intensity.” This would help to preserve views into and out of the City Center. Therefore, the General Plan FE concluded that implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP would be less than significant in this regard.
The 2030 GP/LCP proposes to change the existing land use designations within Avalon’s existing incorporated boundaries and within three expansion areas. These changes would potentially impact scenic resources and Avalon’s overall visual character. The proposed LD-R and RR-LD/RR-HD land use designations envision low density residential and resort/visitor serving development types in the hillside areas above the valley floor. The hillside areas are highly visible and predominantly comprised of steep slopes with limited areas to flat, unconstrained building areas. Therefore,project development would likely require substantial site grading, slope stabilization, roadconstruction, fire clearance, and other infrastructure development, which could alter topography, scar the hillsides, and remove natural biological resources. Therefore, future development envisioned in the 2030 GP/LCP has the potential to adversely affect the visual character of the hillsides and ridgelines.
The 2030 GP/LCP proposes annexation of three specific areas adjacent to Avalon’s existing city limits, Avalon’s scenic character is defined largely by striking views of the natural hillsides withinproposed annexation areas. Therefore, potential future development within the Pebbly BeachSpecific Plan (Annexation Area No.1) and the RR-LD land use designation (Annexation No. 2) have the potential to adversely impact Avalon’s scenic resources and its visual character. Potentially significant impacts would result from future development activities consisting of grading andvegetation clearance to establish suitable building pads, access roads, and other infrastructure. Tooffset potential impacts caused by potential future development in these areas, the 2030 GP/LCP Land Use Element proposes implementation measures, including undertaking studies to determine the feasibility of expanding the City’s Sphere of Influence, taking into account viewshed, watershedprotection, and infrastructure expansion opportunities, and collaborating with the Santa CatalinaIsland Company regarding the annexation of Expansion Areas. Conformance with theimplementation measures would help ensure that future development within the proposed annexation areas would not adversely affect scenic resources or Avalon’s visual character.
Therefore, as stated in the General Plan/LCP FEIR, future development would be guided by relevant 2030 GP/LCP policies, which would further ensure that impacts on Avalon’s scenic resources and its visual character would be less than significant.
Environmental Analysis 4-3
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
The potential future development of new or expanded structures and public facilities facilitated bythe 2030 GP/LCP could increase glare and increase the ambient nighttime lighting throughout the City. Increased glare could come from new development incorporating reflective exterior building materials, roofing materials, solar panels, and windows reflecting sunlight. Increased lighting could come from streetlights, parking lot/parking structure lights, and signage on businessestablishments. Within the City Center, the light and/or glare associated with new development would be less perceptible, as this area contains the most intense development and therefore lightand glare is already part of the area’s visual character. Nevertheless, potential future mixed-usedevelopment envisioned within the City Center could create new sources of light and glare,especially on the upper stories of new buildings or in developments that include new parking lots/structures or illuminated signage. Excessive outdoor lighting could also impact the darkerportions of Avalon, including the waterfront and the surrounding hillsides, which could impact thepublic enjoyment of the night sky. As stated in the General Plan/LCP FEIR, all lighting installed aspart of the 2030 GP/LCP would be subject to conformance with applicable Municipal Code requirements and guided by the Land Use Element. Where necessary, site-specific photometric studies would be undertaken as part of future development proposals to determine the extent of light and glare impacts on neighboring uses. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded thatimplementation of the 2030 GP/LCP would not result in adverse light and glare impacts.
Analysis of Modified Project
There are no State scenic highways within the 2030 GP/LCP planning area (planning area); therefore, as concluded in the General Plan/LCP FEIR, no impacts would occur. The Project does not propose site-specific development, but is rather an update to a policy document to comply withnew laws and reinforce existing policy direction. The Housing Element Update proposes housingpolicies that would encourage housing production within the City. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with theadopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Future housingdevelopment, consistent with the Avalon General Plan, would be reviewed for consistency with policies and implementation measures (i.e., programs) aimed to reduce potential impacts to aesthetic resources and implement mitigation measures, as appropriate. The Housing Elementpolicies and programs would not have an impact on existing General Plan policies protecting aesthetic and visual resources. The Avalon General Plan includes policies and implementation measures to reduce potential impacts to aesthetic and scenic vista resources and to reduce impacts associated with light and glare as a result of new development.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new aesthetic impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with General Plan Policies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts to aesthetics as a result of the proposed Project.

There are no areas within Avalon currently utilized for agricultural or forestry activities.Accordingly, the City contains no Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Significance, as shown on maps provided by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Department of Conservation. Further, there are no General Plan or Zoning designationsthat would support farming in Avalon. With regard to forest land, the 2030 GP/LCP contains a number of policies to preserve critical biotic resources such as oak woodlands and indigenous mature trees. Therefore, no impacts on Agriculture and Forestry Resources would occur fromimplementation of the 2030 GP/LCP.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Project does not propose site-specific development, but is rather an update to a policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. Potential developmentof vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with theadopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or affect any parcels under a Williamson Act contract.

General Plan/LCP FEIR ConclusionsImplementation of the 2030 GP/LCP would be consistent with the 2007 Air Quality Management Plan (2007 AQMP) growth forecast and air quality control measures. Thus, the General Plan/LCPFEW concluded that impacts associated with compliance with the 2007 AQMP would be less than significant.
Development accommodated by the 2030 GP/LCP would result in the incremental increase in emissions. Long-term emissions associated with future development in Avalon in accordance with the 2030 GP/LCP are those associated with vehicle trips and stationary sources (electricity and natural gas). Emissions associated with individual projects, depending on project type and size, could exceed project-specific thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). However, such projects would be required to undergo independent projectlevel CEQA review and to include mitigation measures to address potentially significant projectlevel impacts. A goal of the 2030 GP/LCP is to “maintain air quality that meets state and federal standards.” The GP/LCP contains specific policies to preserve Avalon’s good air quality. In addition, it promotes infill development in the City Center and places an emphasis on pedestrian and bicycle travel. The City also strictly regulates vehicle use through a permitting system and land use parking approval process. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that the 2030 GP/LCP and existing City vehicle policies would reduce vehicle use and vehicle miles traveled and result in a reduction infuel consumption and resulting in air pollutant emissions, which would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.
Environmental Analysis 4-7
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
Construction activity that would be facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would cause temporaryemissions of various air pollutants. Ozone precursors NO and CO would be emitted by theoperation of construction equipment, while fugitive dust (PM1O) would be emitted by activities thatdisturb the soil, such as grading and excavation, road construction and building construction. The Los Angeles County portion of the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) is designated non-attainment for ozone (State and Federal standards) and PM10 (State and Federal standards). Additionally, thepotential release of asbestos may occur during building demolition. tnformation regarding specific development projects, soil types, and the locations of receptors would be needed in order toquantify the level of impact associated with individual construction projects.Construction activity that could be facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP could occur throughout Avalon.
However, it is anticipated that the areas where the highest amount of construction activity wouldoccur are within the City Center, up Avalon Canyon in the Resort Recreation — Low Density areas,and in Expansion Areas No. 1 and 2. Individual developments in these and other areas of the City would be subject to independent environmental review under CEQA. Depending upon thedevelopment type and size, maximum daily emissions associated with individual projects could potentially exceed SCAQMD significance thresholds.Future construction activity within Avalon would be subject to 2030 GP/LCP policies related to construction-related emissions. In addition, the SCAQMD has established rules 402 and 403, which require that air pollutant emissions not be a nuisance off-site and reduce the ambient entrainment of fugitive dust. Rule 403 includes best available control measures for all construction activity,contingency control measures for large operations, and conservation management practices forconfined animal facilities. Major categories addressed by Rule 403 to reduce fugitive dust includes earth moving, disturbed surface areas, unpaved roads, open storage piles, demolition, and othervarious construction activities. During construction, individual property owners, developers, orcontractors would be required to comply with applicable SCAQMD rules, which reduce temporaryconstruction-related air pollutant emissions. Further, if required, individual projects that couldoccur during the lifetime of the 2030 GP/LCP would be required to implement additional mitigation if site-specific analysis identifies the potential to exceed applicable thresholds. Adherence to applicable GP/LCP policies and SCAQMD rules would reduce potential construction-related impacts to a less than significant level.
The SCAQMD defines typical sensitive receptors as residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, athletic facilities, long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, and retirement homes. When evaluating potential long-term air quality impacts to sensitive receptors, the SCAQMD is primarily concerned with high localized concentrations of CO.
Motor vehicles, and traffic-congested roadways and intersections are the primary source of highlocalized CO concentrations. Localized areas where ambient concentrations exceed federal and/or state standards for CO are termed CO “hotspots.” Implementation of the proposed 2030 GP/LCPwould not expose existing or future sensitive uses within the city to substantial CD concentrations.
The South Coast Air Basin is in attainment of state and federal CO standards and has been for several years. Background levels of carbon monoxide are generally low. Although CO is notexpected to be a major air quality concern in Los Angeles County over the planning horizon,elevated CO levels can occur at or near intersections that experience severe traffic congestion. The 2030 GP/LCP would not result in traffic congestion at intersections such that an exceedance of CO Environmental Analysis 4-8

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEtR
standards would occur. The General Plan/LCP concluded impacts would be less than significant inthis regard.
The proposed 2030 GP/LCP would facilitate development within the City Limits and into expansion areas. Some commercial and industrial uses developed under the 2030 GP/LCP may generate odor nuisance effects to the public. However, odors from new commercial and industrial uses would besimilar to the existing uses throughout the City and confined to the immediate vicinity of newbuildings. As such, significant odor impacts are not anticipated. Construction activity would also generate temporary airborne odors associated with the operation of construction vehicles (i.e.,diesel exhaust) and the application of architectural coatings. However, these odors are not generally considered to be especially offensive. Emissions would be temporary and would beconfined to the immediate vicinity of the construction site and activity. Required emission controls would be applied to all new development in the City. With appropriate controls, significant odor impacts would not be anticipated. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts would beless than significant in this regard.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use plan and would notresult in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Future housing development, consistent with the AvalonGeneral Plan, would be reviewed for consistency with policies and programs aimed to reduce impacts to air quality as a result of new development, and would comply with applicable SCAQMDrules and requirements.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new air quality impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with General Plan Policies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts to air quality as a result of the proposed Project.

General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
The 2030 GP/LCP would primarily facilitate intensification of existing developed areas rather than development within undisturbed areas with the potential for special-status plant or animal species.
Nevertheless, some areas that that may contain sensitive plants and/or wildlife could potentially experience development. Implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP could introduce new developmenton land within the City that may encroach into areas that contain sensitive natural communities.
This could lead to the direct loss of this habitat and the wildlife that rely on it. It could also lead to the degradation of adjacent areas that were not directly disturbed, but would be subject to increased indirect impacts by being in close proximity to urban uses.
A variety of plant and animal species are present within the planning area. Some of the sensitive wildlife species that have been observed within the planning area include, but are not limited to, Santa Catalina Island fox and bald eagle. Development under the proposed 2030 GP/LCP couldalso result in the removal of mature trees that may serve as perching or nesting sites for migratory birds and raptors in both developed and undeveloped areas. During the project-level analysis of development proposed under the GP/LCP, project-specific mitigation, such as pre-construction surveys, may be necessary to ensure that development under the proposed 2030 GP/LCP date does not result in the “take” of such species as a result of vegetation removal.
The 2030 GP/LCP has identified goals that would aid in: (1) the preservation of critical biotic resources and enhance habitat value and biotic resource diversity within the Avalon area; (2)maintenance of the integrity of beaches, coves, harbor, and bays; (3) maintenance and enhance of Avalon’s unique ecology and environmental features for the long term enjoyment of residents and visitors; and (4) providing a high quality and functional mix of active and passive open spaces that are interconnected with coastal resources and the iconic hillsides. Specifically, Policies IV-1through IV-5 protect plant and wildlife species and habitat in the planning area by requiring: (1) new developments, including roads, maintain the biotic habitat value of riparian areas, oak woodlands, habitat linkages, and other sensitive biological habitats; (2) regulation of construction activities to eliminate potentially destructive practices that adversely affect environmentallysensitive areas; (3) preservation of the integrity of the riparian habitat areas, creek corridors, andother drainages that support biological resources and contribute to the overall health of the watershed areas through the preservation and restoration of native plants and the removal of invasive, exotic, and nonnative species; (4) preservation of existing mature indigenous trees,unless they are detrimental to public health and safety; and (5) the promotion of the planting of additional trees in developed locations. Plantings should include replacement of trees that are, orhave been, removed and new trees in locations where none are currently present. These policies providing protection to habitats containing candidate, and special status plant and wildlife speciesand would increase the level of protection of these plant and wildlife species within the City’s regulatory framework. Compliance with Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA), CaliforniaEndangered Species Act (CESA), and CEQA, as well as implementation of 2030 GP/LCP goals and policies discussed above, would reduce potential impacts on sensitive plant and wildlife species within the GP/LCP Area. In addition, compliance with federal and State regulations and their respective permitting processes would ensure protection of sensitive natural communities.
Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Environmental Analysis 4-11
City of Avalon 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
As described above, the 2030 GP/LCP land use map focuses mainly on intensification and reuse ofalready developed areas and would facilitate only limited development in undeveloped areas. Infill development would generally avoid direct impacts to riparian, wetland, and open water habitats.
However, the intensification of use of habitats along riparian corridors has the potential to be cumulatively significant and will require inspection on a project-by-project basis to ensureprotection of these resources. Future development in these and other locations that abut riparian corridors could potentially disturb riparian resources unless sufficient buffers and other mitigationactions are incorporated into these future projects. The type and magnitude of impacts would depend on what is actually proposed and, therefore, must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.In addition to the applicable State and federal regulations, the 2030 GP/LCP has identified as goals:(1) Preserve critical biotic resources and enhance habitat value and biotic resource diversity within the Avalon area; and (2) Maintain the integrity of beaches, coves, harbor, and bays.
Implementation of proposed GP/LCP Policies IV-1, 2, 3, and 10 would reduce or avoid impacts to riparian areas by ensuring cooperation with resource protection agencies, organizations, and conservation plans, and limiting or placing constraints on future development within identified Significant Ecological Areas (Upper Descanso Canyon, Haypress Area, Pebbly Beach CanyonSensitive Ecological Areas) or areas containing significant or rare biological resources.
An indirect impact to riparian habitat could result from the future development of existing vacant lands. The placement of development next to riparian habitats would disturb wildlife that rely on these areas for shelter and food and could also result in the degradation of these areas through the introduction of feral animals and contaminants that are typical of urban uses. Because federal regulations do not specifically address protection of riparian vegetation under the Section 404 permitting process, and the fact that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Section 1600 Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement is a negotiated agreement, some unmitigated loss of riparian resources may occur. Therefore, these regulations would not serve to fully protect and manage riparian habitat under future development. However, the aforementioned proposed GP/LCP policies would serve to regulate indirect impacts future development could have on riparian habitats. Further, implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies and implementation actions would ensure that appropriate buffers and other protections for riparian resources and Sensitive Ecological Areas are implemented for individual projects. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts to riparian, wetland, or open waters would be less than significant.
Concentrated wildlife movement through movement corridors or bottlenecks are uncommon on the Island due to the abundance of uninterrupted open space and the lack of disturbed areas. In general, movement takes place in large drainages, along ridgelines, and along dirt roads. Humanencroachment is one leading cause of restricted wildlife movement. Movement restriction can result in isolation of some animal populations resulting in a reduction of genetic diversity. The designation of open space within the Expansion Area 2 helps preserve the majority of movementareas from the northern portion of the island to the south. Further, implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies and implementation actions would ensure that wildlife movement would not be impactedby individual projects. Therefore the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded impacts to wildlife corridorswould be less than significant.
Environmental Analysis 4-12
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
Implementation of the proposed 2030 GP/LCP would be subject to all applicable federal, State, and local policies and regulations related to the protection of biological resources. The Los Angeles County Oak Tree Ordinance recognizes oak trees on unincorporated areas as significant historical,aesthetic, and ecological resources. Oak trees are located throughout the 2030 GP/LCP planning area. Requirements under the Oak Tree Ordinance prohibits the cutting, destruction, removal, relocation, infliction of damage, or encroachment into the protected zone of any tree of the oak tree genus, which is eight or more inches in diameter without first obtaining a permit. If significant oak trees are to be removed or cut, a “permit to alter” or a “permit to remove” shall be obtained if impacts to oak trees are expected outside the City limits. Further, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies and implementation actions to provide protection to trees and sensitive habitat while developing the 2030 GP/LCP. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that future development within the plan area would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, and no impact would occur.
The City of Avalon is not located in a habitat preservation or conservation plan area and therefore would not conflict with this threshold, Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEW concluded no impact would occur with respect to Habitat Preservation Plans or Natural Community Conservation Plans.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area, However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites toaccommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR.

Future housing development, consistent with the Avalon General Plan, would be reviewed for consistency with policies and programs aimed to reduce impacts to biological resources and implement mitigation measures, as appropriate. The Housing Element policies and programs would not have an impact on existing General Plan policies protecting biologicalresources.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new biological resource impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with General Plan Policies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts to biological resources as a result of the proposed Project.

General Plan/lIP FEIR ConclusionsIt is known that prehistoric populations were present in Avalon, and that the planning area containsidentified archaeological sites. The Preliminary Cultural Resource Management Plan identified one recorded pre-historic archaeological site and four recorded historic archaeological sites. The prehistoric archaeological site contains the remains of a pre-historic village and is considered to be one of the most important archaeological sites in southern California. Though the site is now almostcompletely covered with pavement, concrete, and buildings, the 2030 GP/LCP may facilitatedevelopment in this sensitive area. The four historic archaeological sites include remains of homesites with historic debris, building foundations, stone walls, and walkways. Development may occur on or near these historic archaeological sites under the 2030 GP/LCP Therefore, impacts tothese resources would be potentially significant.
Further, it is estimated that approximately 2,000 archaeological sites are present on CatalinaIsland and less than 1,000 having been discovered. Over 900/o of the Avalon planning area hasnever undergone an archeological survey. Therefore, the potential to encounter additional, undiscovered resources within the City (and/or potential annexation areas) is considered moderate to high. The 2030 GP/LCP could potentially facilitate development in areas of cultural resource sensitivity. The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies and implementation actions intended to address potential impacts to archaeological resources. Additionally, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance with Mitigation Measure CR-i, which would add implementation actions to the 2030 GP/LCP that would require excavation for any project located within a potential sensitive area to be monitored by a qualified archaeologist and/or Native American Representative and, for four identified historically archeologically sensitive areas, require prior consultation with the planning department and a qualified archaeologist regarding the implementation of acceptable mitigation Environmental Analysis 4-14

strategies, would ensure impacts to identified and undiscovered prehistoric archaeological resources would be less than significant.
Three properties in Avalon are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Tuna Club of Avalon, the Peter Gano House (Holly Hill House), and the Wrigley Summer Cottage (Inn at Mt.Ada). In addition, there are a number of structures of local historical and architectural interest within Avalon. These historic resources are not anticipated to be affected by future developmentactivity. Historic resources and structures of local interest are well known and documented resources that are valued by the community and integral to the City’s tourist economy. Therefore, future development is unlikely to affect these resources. Though build-out of the 2030 GP/LCP is not anticipated to affect historic resources, the proposed General Plan would involve intensification of uses in the City Center where many structures of historic value are located. The proposed 2030GP/LCP policies do not avoid impacts altogether, In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP encourages rehabilitation of identified structures of historical value. Rehabilitation activities have the potential to directly impact their significance by destroying the historic fabric of the structure. Impacts to historic resources may be potentially significant. However, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies and implementation actions intended to address potential impacts to historic resources. Additionally, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance with Mitigation Measure CR-2, which would add implementation actions to the 2030 GP/LCP requiring that structures that may be of historical value incorporate the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines forRehabilitating Historic Buildings and/or consult with local museums or cultural societies and incorporate mitigation as necessary, would ensure impacts to historical resources would be less than significant.

The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programs toreduce potential impacts to historic and archeological resources and human remains. If human remains are encountered during excavation, all work must halt and the remains would requireproper treatment in accordance with applicable laws, including State of California Health and Safety Code Sections 7050.5-7055 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98 and Section 5097.99.
Further, General Plan/LCP FEIR Mitigation Measures CR-i and CR-2 add implementation actions to the 2030 GP/LCP Conservation Element to reduce impacts to archeological and historic resources.

• Future land uses consistent with the proposes General Plan would increase energy consumption in the planning area, requiring that additional energy resources be delivered to residents and businesses by Southern California Edison (SCE). Future projects proposed consistent with the General Plan would be required to complete an environmental review process which would assess whether SCE can accommodate the energy needs of thatproject. In addition, future development would be required to comply with the current energy performance standards found in Title 24 as well as General Plan energy conservation policies and actions. This is considered a less than significant impact.

General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Avalon is located in a seismically active region of California. No active faults have been mappedwithin Avalon; however, the City lies in a seismically active region that is prone to periodic earthquakes. According to the Southern California Earthquake Data Center Map, there are 5 activeor potentially active faults within 25 miles of Avalon. The range of maximum probable moment magnitudes for earthquakes emanating from these faults ranges from 6.0 to 7.4. These regional faults as well as the San Andreas Fault (85 miles away) are all capable of affecting Avalon. Faults generally produce damage in two ways; surface rupture and seismically induced ground shaking.
Surface rupture is generally limited to areas very near the fault, while ground shaking can affect a wide area. The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies intended to minimize the risks associated with seismic related hazards. Proper engineering, including compliance with the California Building Code (CBC), the Avalon Municipal Code and the policies in the 2030 GP/LCP, would minimize the risk to life and property, resulting in a less than significant impact to new development fromgroundshaking. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of the CBC requirements and polices contained in the Safety Element, impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Due to the low water table, the potential for liquefaction in Avalon and in the Expansion Areas islow. Also, soils in and around Avalon have a low potential for expansiveness. Nonetheless, to more accurately determine geologic and soil stability, site-specific geologic studies would be needed.
The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies intended to reduce exposure to potentially hazardous geologic conditions. The CBC also includes specific requirements to address hazards. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of the CBC requirements and polices containedin the Safety Element, impacts related to geologic or soil instability would be less than significant.
Avalon is characterized by hillside terrain surrounding a flat City Center. Slope instability hazards are present throughout the hillside portions of the plan area. Slope instability may result in landslides, slumps, mudslides, or debris flows that can cause substantial damage and disruption to buildings and infrastructure. Any development within identified landslide hazard zones would have the potential for landslide-related damage. There are two known landslide areas in Avalon. A fall area occurs along the road to Pebbly Beach, where rocks fall onto the road. Pebbly Beach is part of Expansion Area No. 1. The other area is a slide area in the vicinity of Vieudeiou Avenue, Hill Street, Olive Street, and Maiden Lane. This area is already developed with high density residential uses. This land use designation would not change under the 2030 GP/LCP. Nevertheless, development in this area, in Expansion Area No. 1, or development facilitated by the GP/LCP in hillside areas would be subject to potential landslide hazards.
Impacts from these types of soil hazards are generally reduced to less than significant levels by the standard development review process. Standard building and grading procedures would mitigate most soil hazards. Geotechnical engineering of any landslide areas would be necessary to ensure that slopes would not become destabilized during grading activities. Onsite soilinvestigations identify local hazard conditions, which are then mitigated through implementation of appropriate engineering designs and construction techniques and through proper site improvements. The 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that require evidence and mitigation of development projects within areas of geologic instability and encourages infill in the City Center in Environmental Analysis 4-20

lieu of expanding development into Avalon’s hillsides. Further, in compliance with the General Plan/LCP FEIR, Mitigation Measure GEO-3 adds implementation measures to the 2030 GP/LCPSafety Element to minimize human exposure to landslide areas and require study and mitigationof development projects within landslide hazard zones. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of CBC requirements, pohcies contained in the Land Use andSafety Elements, and Measure GEO-3, impacts related to landslide hazards would be less thansignificant.
Soils in the Avalon hillsides and in areas near the coast have a moderate erosion potential.
Development could lead to loss of soil or topsoil. Also, structures and facilities constructed on erosive soils, as well as occupants of the structures, would have the potential to be exposed to hazards related to erosion. The CBC includes requirements to address soil related hazards. Typical measures to treat hazardous soil conditions involve removal, proper fill selection, and compaction.In addition, individual projects on one or more acre of land are subject to the Construction General Permit adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). As such, the project wouldbe required to develop and implement an erosion control plan. Further, the project would be required to meet the requirements for long-term control of runoff in the City’s NPDES permit for Stormwater Discharges From Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4). As individualdevelopment projects are considered for construction, separate environmental review may be required, which could result in the implementation of project-specific mitigation measures.
Additionally, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies intended to reduce impacts related to erosion.
Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance with the CBC and 2030 GP/LCP policies would reduce soil related hazard impacts and potential soil loss to a less than significantlevel.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Project does not propose site-specific development, but is rather an update to a policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. The Housing ElementUpdate proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planningarea. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’sRHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programs to reduce potential impacts associated with geology and soils. Future housing development, consistent with the Avalon General Plan, would be reviewed for consistency with policies and programs aimed to reduce potentialimpacts associated with geology and soils, including preparation of site-specific geotechnical analysis and required compliance with the Avalon Municipal Code. The Housing Element policies and programs would not have an impact on existing General Plan policies regarding geology andsoils.
While the General Plan/LCP FEIR did not specifically address septic tank soil, future developmentwould comply with existing regulations, including Chapter 6.7 of the Avalon Municipal Code.
Compliance with existing regulations and the policies and programs contained in the 2030 GP/LCP would ensure that any impacts to soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanksor alternative waste water disposal systems would be less than significant.

4.8 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Would the project:
a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions,
either directly or indirectly, that may
have a significant impact on the
environment?
b. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy
or regulation adopted forthe purpose ofreducing the emissions of greenhousegases? General PIan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through vehicle use. The GP/LCP could facilitate the development of expansion areas as well as intensified development throughout the current City limits. This development would generally increase vehicle use and extend vehicle trips into currently undeveloped areas. Overall, vehiclemiles traveled may increase with buildout of the 2030 GP/LCP, which would incrementally increase GHG emissions. However, this increase would be limited by the policies in the Land Use andCirculation Element that encourage compact development and alternative transportation.
Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would also generate GHG emissions through energy consumption, However, the Conservation Element contains specific policies to reduce energyconsumption by promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy use as well as reducing solid waste, Therefore, implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies is expected to reduce GHG emissions as compared to the “business as usual” approach. Further, SCAQMD’s recommended GHG thresholds apply to individual development projects only; they do not apply to plans such as the 2030 GP/LCP. Individual projects will be required to undergo independent project-level CEQAreview and to include mitigation measures to address potentially significant impacts. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
SB 375 required the California Air Resources Board to set regional targets for GHG emissions from use of light duty vehicles associated with land use decisions. Also, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO5) must address their regional GHG reductions targets in a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) as part of the MPO’s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), which is the MPO for Avalon, adopted an RTP/SCS in 2012 for the planning period of 2012 through 2035. Implementation of the proposed2030 GP/LCP would be consistent the goals and strategies contained in the SCAG 2012-2035RTP/SCS to reduce per capita GHG emissions and the 2030 GP/LCP would maintain or reduce per Environmental Analysis 4-23

Further,the 2030 GP/LCP policies aim to further reduce per capita emissions by promoting infill and mixeduse development, energy conservation, and solid waste reduction. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
The California Climate Change Center and the California Climate Adaptation Strategy estimate thatsea level rise could reach 55 inches by the year 2100. As a result of sea level rise, coastal areasare at risk to inundation, flooding, and erosion. Avalon is located entirely within a coastal zone andthe 2030 GP/LCP includes policies that encourage development near the shoreline, subjecting new development to inundation and flooding due to sea level rise. This is a potentially significant impact.
The Conservation Element includes GP/LCP policies and implementation actions to reduce risks associated with rising sea level, However, more specific analysis is needed to examine which areasof Avalon are most vulnerable to flooding and erosion due to sea level rise in order to avoid risks.
Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts due to sea level rise would be less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure GHG-3. However, despite planningefforts to minimize the effects of sea level rise on the community, portions of Avalon may continue to be subject to increased risk of coastal flooding due to sea level rise.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production withjn the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites toaccommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use plan and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Future housing development, consistent with the Avalon General Plan, would be reviewed for consistency with policies and programs aimed to reduce GHGemission impacts as a result of new development. Additionally, Mitigation Measure GHG-3addresses impacts due to sea level rise as a result of climate change.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new GHG emission impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with the recommended GeneralPlan/LCP FEIR mitigation measures and General Plan Policies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts to GHG emissions as a result of the proposed Project.General Plan/LCP FEIR Mitigation Measures:

General PIan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
There are no large-scale generators or users of hazardous materials in the City. The use andtransport of hazardous materials within the City is limited to household hazardous wastes, small commercial/industrial uses, and liquid propane. The proposed 2030 GP/LCP would facilitate theannexation of Expansion Area No. 1, which would increase light industrial uses within the City boundaries. New industrial uses would be similar in nature to existing industrial uses, such as Environmental Analysis 4-25

automotive repair shops, and the use, storage, and transport of hazardous materials would besimilarly minimal. New businesses in Expansion Area No. 1 would also be subject to federal, State, and local regulations regarding the use, storage, and transport of hazardous materials. Regular transport of hazardous materials is limited to the propane that is barged over from the mainlandto the SCE facility in Pebbly Beach. SCE manages the transport of the propane. Safety measuresfollow SCE protocol and no incidents related to propane transport have occurred. Any future largescale activities with the potential to generate or use hazardous materials in the City would be required to obtain a permit and comply with applicable federal, State, and local regulations. Smallscale hazardous material users would be subject to existing federal, State, and local regulationsregarding the use and disposal of hazardous waste. As individual development projects are considered for construction, separate environmental review may be required, which could result in the implementation of project-specific mitigation measures. In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that aim to minimize adverse impacts to health and quality of life associated with exposure to hazardous materia1s. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance with federal, State, and local regulations, in combination with the proposed 2030 GP/LCP policies, would reduce impacts related to the use, storage, and transport of hazardous materials to a less than significant level. Additionally, because the use, storage, and transport of hazardous materialswithin the City is limited and there are no hazardous material transportation corridors within theCity, impacts related to upset or accident conditions would also be less than significant.
Avalon Schools is a kindergarten through 12th grade school, located at 200 Falls Canyon Road.
The new expansion areas proposed by the 2030 GP/LCP would not be located within 1/4 mile of Avalon Schools and/or would not include uses that would use hazardous materials or generate hazardous waste. However, the relocation of industrial uses to the Falls Canyon/Avalon Canyonarea could place hazardous materials within 1/4 mile of Avalon Schools. New industrial sites wouldbe up-gradient of the school, which could result in potential impacts if a hazardous material release occurs. Small-scale hazardous material users would be subject to existing federal, State, and local regulations regarding the use and disposal of hazardous waste. As individual development projects are considered for construction, separate environmental review may be required, which could result in the implementation of project-specific mitigation measures. Additionally, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies aimed at reducing impacts to schools associated with exposure to hazardous materials. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance with federal, State, and local regulations, in combination with the proposed 2030 GP/LCP policies, would reduce impacts related to the use, storage, and transport of hazardous materials within a 1/4 mile of a school to a less than significant level
The 2030 GP/LCP would also intensify the use of several residential and commercial properties within the City; however, residential and commercial uses do not typically handle hazardous materials that would pose a threat to a school. There may be a slight increase in use of household hazardous wastes or small commercial hazardous waste, such as petroleum-based fuels, chlorinated solvents, acrylic coatings, corrosive or caustic additives, but these materials are usually contained on-site and are subject to federal, state, and local regulations regarding use, storage,and disposal. Small-scale hazardous materials would not pose a threat to the nearby school.Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts resulting from the use or emission of hazardous materials within proximity to a school would be less than significant.

The 2030 GP/LCP would facilitate new or re-development within the City, as well as the annexation of Expansion Areas No. 1, 2, and 3. There are no sites located in any of the Expansion Areas that are listed as hazardous materials sites. None of the sites found through a search of the EnviroStorand GeoTracker databases, as well as the Cortese List, would be expected to result in hazardous conditions for any new or re-development within the City or proposed Expansion Areas due to the remedial status of the listed sites. There is one site in the City Center, Pebbly Beach Building Supplies, where assessment is still underway. However, the potential media affected is not listedand any new or re-development on this site would be required to comply with Regional WaterQuality Control Board regulations regarding potential contaminants. Small-scale hazardous material users would be subject to existing federal, State, and local regulations regarding the use and disposal of hazardous waste. Further, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies aimed at reducingimpacts associated with existing hazardous materials sites within Avalon. Therefore, the GeneralPlan/LCP FEtR concluded compliance with federal, State, and local regulations, in combination with the proposed 2030 GP/LCP policies, would reduce impacts related to hazardous materials sites to a less than significant level.
The intensification of uses facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP may result in the demolition or renovation of the existing structures in the plan area, which, due to their age, could contain asbestos and/or lead. The removal of any asbestos and lead-containing materials would be required to comply with all pertinent existing rules and regulations, including SCAQMD Rule 1403, Asbestos Emissions from Demolition/Renovation Activities, which would minimize health hazards associated with these activities. In addition, any future development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would have to complywith CaIOSHA regulations regarding lead-based materials. California Code of Regulations, §1532.1, requires testing, monitoring, containment, and disposal of lead-based materials such that exposurelevels do not exceed CaIOSHA standards. Therefore, the General Plan FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
New development and intensified development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would be included in the City’s existing emergency response operations. Local disaster response is coordinated under the Avalon Disaster Council. In addition, the City maintains mutual aid agreements with regional agencies to ensure the City’s ability to receive assistance when demands for emergency services are greater than the City’s available resources. The City also utilizes the Emergency Management Information System (EMIS), a computer database system that provides detailed, real time information about emergencies from the County Emergency Operations Center. New and intensified development would be required to comply with all of the existing emergency response operations. New and intensified development would also be required to comply with all Fire Codestandards regarding emergency access. In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that aim to maintain emergency services and disaster response preparedness. Therefore, the GeneralPlan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance with local and regional emergency plans, in combination with the proposed 2030 GP/LCP policies, would reduce impacts related to emergency response andevacuation to a less than significant level.

General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Soil disturbance would temporarily occur due to construction of future developments facilitated bythe proposed GP/LCP, due to earth-moving activities, such as excavation and trenching for foundations and utilities, soil compaction and moving, cut and fill activities, and grading. Disturbedsoils are susceptible to high rates of erosion from wind and rain, resulting in sediment transportvia stormwater runoff from the project area. Runoff from construction sites would be typical of urban areas, and may include sediments and contaminants such as oils, fuels, paints, and solvents.
Additionally, other pollutants, such as nutrients, trace metals, and hydrocarbons, can attach to sediment and be transported to downstream drainages and ultimately into collecting waterways,contributing to degradation of water quality. Construction materials, debris handling, and the useof construction equipment, could also result in stormwater contamination and impact water quality.
Accordingly, areas that disturb one or more acres of land surface are subject to the ConstructionGeneral Permit, 99-08-DWQ adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
Preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for compliance with the NPDES General Construction Stormwater Activity Permit. Compliance with the permit would involve filing a Notice of Intent with the SWRCB and preparing and submitting a SWPPP prior to construction activities, The SWPPP must describe the site, the facility, erosion and sedimentcontrols, runoff water quality monitoring, means of waste disposal, implementation of approved local plans, control of construction sediment and erosion control measures, maintenance responsibilities, and non-stormwater management controls. Inspection of construction sites beforeand after storms is required to identify stormwater discharge from the construction activity and toidentify and implement controls where necessary. The Construction General Permit requirements would need to be satisfied prior to beginning construction on any project located on a site greaterthan one acre. Certain other projects require the preparation of a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP). Both the SWPPP and provisions for obtaining a grading permit require approval of an erosion control plan. The erosion control plan could include measures such as limitations on gradingduring the dry season and construction discharges, as well as requirements for soil stabilizationand use of sediment traps. Additionally, grading permits would include recommendations and mitigation measures addressing erosion control which would be incorporated into grading plans.
The proposed GP/LCP also includes policies designed to minimize stormwater and erosional impacts during construction. Compliance with these regulations would reduce the risk of water degradation within the City from soil erosion related and construction activities. Since violations of water quality standards would be minimized, impacts to water quality from construction activities within theGP/LCP area would be less than significant.Operation of future developments under the proposed GP/LCP would result in the addition ofcontaminants into both the stormwater runoff entering the City’s drainage system and the wastewater stream entering the local wastewater collection and treatment systems. Futuredevelopments would increase the amount of impervious surfaces within the City, which could potentially increase stormwater runoff. In addition, the operation of new land uses could result in the release of contaminants that would further degrade the quality of the stormwater runoff and wastewater, The proposed GP/LCP would promote infill development where appropriate throughoutthe plan area, consistent with existing land use patterns, intensities and building types. The potential for infill development to contribute to polluted runoff would be minimal. Areas ofundeveloped land would provide areas for high density and low density development as well as Environmental Analysis 4-30

Addendum to the General PIan/LCP FEIR
resort/recreational development in Expansion Area 2. These developments would result in additional urban runoff typically containing contaminants such as oil, grease, metals, and landscaping chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, etc.). These contaminants could be transported by stormwater runoff into the City’s drainage system and ultimately degrade surfacewater and groundwater quality. In addition to stormwater runoff, polluted wastewater would bedischarged by new development. The increase in industrial and residential land uses would result in increases in wastewater contaminated with household and industrial chemicals that would discharge to the local wastewater systems. Stormwater discharges originating from these and other land uses would be treated at the Avalon Wastewater Treatment Facility and discharged into the Pacific Ocean.
NPDES permits are required for operators of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems M54s, construction projects, and industrial facilities. To prevent harmful pollutants from being washed ordumped into an M54, operators must obtain a NPDES permit and develop a stormwater management program. These permits contain limits on the amount of pollutants that could be contained in each facility’s discharge. Specifically, all development within the City would be subject to the provisions of the City’s NPDES MS4 Permit. Developments within the City would also besubject to the provisions in Chapter 1.11 (Erosion Control and Water Quality RequirementsSystems) of the Avalon Municipal Code. tndividual future developments will be subject to further review and, as appropriate, project-specific mitigation. In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP contains goals and policies aimed at implementing water conservation strategies, minimizing potable water use in new development projects, minimize water consumption, encourage high efficiency irrigation technology, limit development, reduce stormwater pollution, require BMPs during grading and construction, reduce waterborne pollutants, eliminate sewage from entering groundwater, and remediate sewage contamination. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliancewith NPDES permits requirements, the City’s Municipal Code, and GP/LCP policies would reduce the risk of water degradation within the City from the operation of new developments to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Construction activities would primarily occur as part of infill with the potential for development within Rural Residential development areas and development within Expansion Area 2. Becausethe plan area is near the coast, the groundwater table underlying the GP/LCP area is shallow andfor the most part at sea level. Pile driving, dewatering, and other construction activities that would encounter groundwater could potentially occur. While the insertion of support and foundation structures in the groundwater may reduce the storage capacity of groundwater, the displacedvolume would not be substantial relative to the volume of the basin as a whole. Likewise, whiledewatering would remove groundwater, the volume of water removed would not likely besubstantial relative to groundwater pumping for water supply. Also, water used during construction for cleaning, dust control, and other uses would be minimal and per Chapter 6.13 of the City of Avalon Municipal Code, freshwater will not be used for soil compaction or vehicle cleaning. Thus,the General Plan/LCP FE concluded that construction activities would not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge and impacts would be less than significant.
The primary source of fresh water in Avalon is groundwater, which is pumped into the Middle Ranch/Thompson Reservoir with a desalination plant, located at Pebbly Beach. New development Environmental Analysis 4-31

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
occurring from implementation of the proposed GP/LCP would increase the demand forgroundwater as supplied by SCE. As discussed in Section 4.14, Utilities and Service Systems, ofthe General Plan/LCP FEIR, the City’s projected groundwater supplies will meet projected demand.
Additionally, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies to ensure water conservation and reduce potential impacts to groundwater supply. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that increased demand for groundwater supply within the City under the proposed GP/LCP would not substantiallydeplete groundwater supplies and impacts would be less than significant.
The increase in development and addition of impervious surfaces as a result of developmentfacilitated by the proposed GP/LCP would not interfere with groundwater recharge. New development on vacant lands would incrementally reduce the amount of pervious surfaces within the plan area. However, the City is not identified as a key area of groundwater recharge. The 2030GP/LCP would focus on infill development, consistent with existing land use patterns, intensitiesand building types. Additionally, the General Plan/LCP contains policies to ensure waterconservation and reduce potential impacts to groundwater supply. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that new development would not substantially affect groundwater recharge andimpacts would be less than significant.
Construction activities under the proposed GP/LCP would involve stockpiling, grading, excavation,dredging, paving, and other earth-disturbing activities that could alter existing drainage patterns.
These types of activities would constitute a temporary alteration of drainage patterns. The 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that would regulate construction activities to eliminate potentiallydestructive practices that remove topsoil and provide for continued enforcement of the requirements of the federal NPDES and other federal and state requirements pertaining to soil management and surface runoff. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that compliance withSWRCB’s NPDES General Construction Activity Stormwater Permit, NPDES MS4 regulations, and the City’s Municipal Code would reduce the risk of short-term erosion resulting from drainage alterations during construction to a less than significant level.Development under the proposed GP/LCP would result in alterations to drainage, such as changesin ground surface permeability via paving, changes in topography via grading and excavation. TheGeneral Plan/LCP FEIR concludes that compliance with NPDES regulations, the City’s Municipal Code, and implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies would reduce the risk of erosion resulting fromdrainage alterations during the operation of new developments to a less than significant level.
As described above, development under the proposed GP/LCP includes both infill development and new development. Construction in undeveloped areas including Rural Residential, Low Densityresidential, and expansion areas would add impervious surfaces. Increased impervious surfaces would increase the overall volume of stormwater runoff by reducing infiltration. This increased runoff could potentially exceed the capacity of existing and planned infrastructure and cause downstream flooding impacts. However, compliance with MS4 requirements and 2030 GP/LCP policies would reduce the volume sediment-laden runoff discharging from sites within the plan area and reduce the volume of runoff generated, and potential for flooding, throughout the plan area.
Additionally, the 2030 GP/LCP policies and Chapters 1.11 and 1.12 of the Avalon Municipal Codewould require storm drain maintenance; mitigation of flood hazards by including onsite drainage systems that are connected to the City’s storm drain system, grading of sites within the project Environmental Analysis 4-32
City of Avalon p 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
area such that runoff does not impact adjacent properties, or elevating buildings above flood levels;and incorporation of storrnwater detention basins. Additionally, the City and the Santa Catalina Island Company undertook significant storm infrastructure improvements in 2004 and presumably the flood zone has been reduced as a result of those efforts. Further, if development proposeschanges to drainages, this would occur in compliance with CDFG Streambed Alteration regulations in order to maintain drainage patterns. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP concluded thatimplementation of the proposed GP/LCP policies and compliance with NPDES regulations, the City’s Municipal Code, and CDFG regulations would reduce the risk of flooding resulting from drainage alterations to a less than significant impact.
Due to the impending increasing population density within the City and the construction of multi story and multi-family dwellings, new hotel units, and new subdivisions, the City’s sewage system is approaching the limit of capacity to accommodate the increased volume of sewage generated by such developments. According to Section 7.101 of the City’s Municipal Code, the sewer redevelopment program shall be carried out in accordance with a master plan of construction tobe adopted by the City to best serve the public interests and safety. Implementation of the upgrades proposed by the City would help alleviate any existing deficiencies but would not provideadequate infrastructure to support development upon implementation of the proposed GP/LCP.
While development in many urbanized portions of the GP/LCP area may not substantially exceed existing storm drain facilities, proposed development in currently vacant and underdevelopedareas, such as Expansion Area 2, would necessitate of the construction of new or the expansion ofexisting storm drain infrastructure. The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies that would ensure that new development can be adequately supported by utilities such as storm drainage infrastructure and re-use systems limiting overall drainage requirements. Additionally, Section 7.106 of the City’s Municipal Code requires expansion of existing or construction of new facilities prior to issuance of a building permit or occupation. To further ensure new facilities are provided, the newly adopted Sewer System Management Plan identified in the 2030 GP/LCP will ensure that adequate facilities are provided to serve permitted land use development. Upgrades, expansion, and construction of necessary utilities to accommodate new development would be subject to project-specific environmental review. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concludes that impacts to infrastructure would be less than significant.
As described above, GP/LCP area is located along the coast and is underlain by a shallow groundwater table. Construction of development under the proposed GP/LCP could result indegradation of groundwater resources due to earth-disturbing activities. Compliance with Chapter
1.11 of the Municipal Code would ensure that these earth-disturbing activities would not result in adverse groundwater conditions. In addition, hazardous materials used during construction could contaminate surface water and percolate into the groundwater underlying the project area if the materials are not properly contained. The 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that require protection of groundwater recharge areas as well as surface water and groundwater impacted by construction activities. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts associated with thedegradation of groundwater quality during construction activities would be less than significant.
In coastal groundwater basins, groundwater quality can be degraded through the intrusion ofseawater primarily by pumping for domestic and irrigation water supply. As groundwater is extracted, the ability is created for seawater to migrate into the area from which the groundwater Environmental Analysis 4-33

Addendum to the General Plan! LCP FEIR
was extracted. Degradation of groundwater quality would reduce the groundwater basin yield,diminishing production from existing activities and limiting future groundwater development. Asdescribed above, development under the 2030 GP/LCP would be adequately served by the existingwater supply and as such would not substantially increase groundwater pumping, the project wouldnot adversely impact groundwater quality due to saltwater intrusion. Additionally, the new infrastructure would be connected to the saltwater systems thereby further reducing the demand of fresh water. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of the proposed GP/LCP policies and compliance with the Municipal Code, development under theproposed GP/LCP would not otherwise degrade water quality and impacts would be less than significant.
The 100-year flood zone is primarily contained in and along the edges of Avalon Canyon and Avalon Bay. As described above, the City and the Santa Catalina Island Company undertook significant storm infrastructure improvements in 2004 and presumably the flood zone has been reduced as a result of those efforts. However, as of the writing of the General Plan/LCP PER, the FEMA FIRMshave not been updated to reflect these improvements. Most of the 100-year floodplain occupiesland around the bottom of Avalon Canyon along the intermittent stream. Delineated flood hazard areas are localized areas of potential inundation that exist immediately adjacent to water courses.
Because the land designated for residential development adjacent to this 100-year floodplain is already developed, or approved for development, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concludes thatimpacts to new residential development within the 100-year flood plain would be less than significant.Additionally, the 2030 GP/LCP contains goals and policies aimed at protecting human life and public and private property from the risks of flooding. Furthermore, Chapter 9.101 of the City’s Municipal Code establishes methods and provisions that would minimize flood damage to residentialdevelopment. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concludes that impacts of flood hazards to housing developed under the proposed GP/LCP would be less than significant.
A water displacement analysis would be required to investigate the effect of new structural development or fill on flooding depth, pursuant to FEMA regulation 44 CFR 60.3 (c)(10).
Preparation of water displacement analyses where appropriate and compliance with FEMAregulations would ensure that GP/LCP development would not substantially impede or redirect flows. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP concludes that impacts would be less than significant inthis regard.The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies that addresses the potential of flooding risks by sea level rise.Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concludes that with implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP policies and inclusion of mitigation requiring collaboration with climate science exports to identify areas that may be exposed to risks due to sea level rise, such as flooding or erosion, impacts to housing, structures, and people due to sea level rise would be less than significant.
Development under the proposed GP/LCP would increase the exposure of people to the lowprobability but high-risk events such as seiche, tsunami, and mudflows by increasing developmentin certain areas of the City, including Avalon Bay. As described above, all new development in the City occurring in areas that are subject to flood hazards would be required to comply with the flood Environmental Analysis 4-34

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
damage prevention provisions of the City’s Municipal Code. Additionally, the 2030 GP/LCP containsgoals and policies aimed at minimizing adverse effects of coastal hazards related to tsunamis, rogue waves, storm surges, and seiche within the plan area. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts would be less than significant in this regard.
Analysis of Modified ProjectThe Project does not propose site-specific development, but is rather an update to a policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. The Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Future housing development, consistent with the Avalon General Plan, would bereviewed for consistency with policies and programs aimed to reduce potential impacts associated with hydrology and drainage, including preparation of site-specific analysis and requiredcompliance with the Avalon Municipal Code. The Avalon General Plan includes policies andprograms to reduce potential impacts to hydrology and water quality. Additionally, MitigationMeasure GHG-3 addresses impacts such as flooding, erosion, and inundation due to sea level rise as a result of climate change.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new hydrology and water quality impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with the recommended General Plan/LCP FEIR mitigation measures and General Plan Policies, there would be no newsignificant or significantly different impacts related to hydrology and water as a result of the proposed Project.

General PIan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
The 2030 GP/LCP is a citywide plan intended to provide for the orderly development of the community through the year 2030. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that the 2030 GP/LCP would not physically divide the community.
The 2030 GP/LCP identifies three potential annexation areas adjacent to the current City corporate boundaries. The purpose of incorporating these areas would be to encourage greater tourist activity in the City and to incorporate open space into City limits. Of the three potential expansion areas, two areas are owned by the Santa Catalina Island Company and one is owned by the Catalina Island Conservancy. The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFC0) would need to approve anyannexation proposal and would typically notify affected landowners and agencies prior toconsideration of the annexation, Given that no boundary adjustment is being sought in conjunction with the 2030 GP/LCP, future boundary adjustments would only be made at such time as they aredeemed consistent with applicable LAFCo policies, and that individual boundary adjustment proposals will need to be addressed by the City and the Los Angeles LAFCo on a case-by-case basis, no inconsistencies with LAFCo policies would occur.
SCAG’s Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) serves as a framework for decision-making with respect to regional growth and changes that can be anticipated through 2035 and beyond. TheRCP provides a strategic plan for defining and solving interrelated housing, traffic, water, air quality, and other regional challenges. The 2030 GP/LCP contains goals and policies that supportefforts to achieve RCP goals. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies, the GP/LCP could be found to be consistent with RCPpolicies.

Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEWconcluded that the 2030 GP/LCP could be found to be consistent with the SCAG 2012 RTP.
SCAG has prepared the Growth Vision Report to provide a framework for local and regional decision making that improves the quality of life for all SCAG residents. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies, future development under the 2030 GP/LCP could be found to be consistent with SCAG’s Growth Vision Report.
The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning has prepared the Santa Catalina Island Local Coastal Plan (LCP) to promote public access to and conservation of coastal resources on Santa Catalina Island. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that development under the 2030GP/LCP could be found to be consistent with the LCP.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Project does not propose site-specific development, but is rather an update to a policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. Potential developmentof vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use plan and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greaterdevelopment than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Future housing development,consistent with the Avalon General Plan, would be reviewed for consistency with land use policies and programs. The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programs to reduce potential impacts resulting from new development and intensification of land uses.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new land use and planning impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with the General PlanPolicies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts to land use and planning as a result of the proposed Project.

known mineral resource that would be of
value to the region and the residents ofthe state?
b. Result in the loss of availability of a
locally-important mineral resource

General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Some areas within the City contain mineral resources and are appropriate for mineral extraction.
In the 2030 General Plan, it is the intent of the City to conserve areas needed for the managedproduction of these resources. Therefore, there would be no loss of availability of known mineralresources or of locally important mineral resource recovery sites. In addition, mineral extraction operations would be required to implement appropriate mitigation measures to avoid creatingsignificant and adverse environmental impacts. As a result, no impacts relating to mineral resourceextraction are anticipated.
Analysis of Modified Project
The Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites toaccommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would notresult in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what wasanalyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programs toreduce potential impacts to mineral resources as a result of new development and intensification of land uses.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new mineral resources impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FSR, Following compliance with General Plan Policiesand/or mitigation measures, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts to mineral resources as a result of the proposed Project.

4.13 NOISE
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
Would the project result in:a. Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noiselevels in the vicinity of the project in x excess of standards established in the
local general plan or noise ordinance, or
applicable standards of other agencies?
b. Generation of excessive groundborne
vibration or groundborne noise levels?
c. For a project located within the vicinity
of a private airstrip or an airport land useplan or, where such a plan has not beenadopted, within two miles of a publicairport or public use airport, would theproject expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive
noise levels?
General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Noise from individual construction projects that could be facilitated under the 2030 GP/LCP would create temporary noise level increases on and adjacent to individual construction sites. Since thereare no specific plans or time scales for individual development projects, it is not possible todetermine exact noise levels, locations, or time period for construction. However, construction noise would be highest and of the longest duration adjacent to sites where more future development/redevelopment is anticipated to occur. Noise levels associated with constructionactivity would exceed ambient noise levels and may cause temporary disturbance at neighboring properties. However, the City’s Municipal Code prohibits construction activities between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 am., and no construction is permitted on Sundays, with the exception ofemergency construction work. Further, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that aim to reduce impacts associated with construction activity. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that enforcement of the existing Municipal Code policy and implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP policieswould improve protection from construction noise and reduce temporary construction impacts toa less than significant level. In addition, site-specific review of individual development projectswould be required, which would include a review of potential noise impacts on a case-by-case basis.Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP may incrementally increase noise along arearoadways over the life of the GP/LCP.

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
2030 GP/LCP would not be expected to cause an audible increase in community noise, The 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that would ensure that noise impacts are considered as individual development projects and transportation improvements incorporate appropriate noise attenuation techniques. Also, as technology improves, it is expected that the use of alternative fuel vehicles,such as electric vehicles, will begin to replace the noisier gas-powered vehicles. In addition, as noted in numerous Circulation Element policies, the City will continue to emphasize vehicle tripreduction techniques to address traffic issues, with the added benefit that the use of such techniques would also reduce vehicular noise. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concludes that with implementation of GP/LCP policies, increases in roadway noise would be reduced to a less than significant level.
The 2030 GP/LCP would facilitate the development of new residential and other noise-sensitive uses that could be exposed to long-term noise exceeding the normally acceptable range outlinedin the GP/LCP Noise Element. New noise sensitive uses would include residential development within the City Center, along Avalon Canyon Road, and within Expansion Areas 1 and 2. Potentialsources of noise exposure include: traffic on City roadways, intensification of commercial activity in the City Center, and industrial activity on sites that are adjacent to or near noise-sensitive uses.For most sites, the primary generator of noise that could affect sensitive receptors would beroadway traffic. New residences could also be exposed to noise generated by commercial orindustrial activity that exceeds the normally acceptable range. The 2030 GP/LCP includes a number of policies that aim to reduce noise impacts. Implementation of 2030 GP/LCP policies would ensure that projects proposed in noise environments that potentially exceed acceptable standards would be evaluated and that appropriate sound attenuation techniques would be implemented on a caseby-case basis. Depending on the specific development project proposed and the location and source of noise, sound attenuation techniques may include site design to shield noise-sensitive uses from noise, special building standards to reduce interior noise, or the use of barriers to reduce exterior noise. Therefore, the General PIan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts related to the placement of new uses in noise environments exceeding the normally acceptable range would beless than significant.
Catalina Airport is located approximately six miles from Avalon city limits. Annexation of Expansion Area No. 2 would extend the City’s boundaries, and the Catalina Airport would be approximately4.75 miles from the new boundary. As such, Avalon would not be within two miles of an airport or private airstrip, and there would be no impacts regarding airport noise. However, the use ofprivate, recreational airplanes and helicopters around the City is common. Noise generated from these recreational aircrafts could result in nuisance noise to future development of sensitive uses.
The 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that address noise from aircrafts. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP policies would ensure that new development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would not be exposed to excessive noise generated by recreational flight operations. In addition, noise generated by recreational aircrafts would be temporary in nature as the aircrafts travel along their route. Impacts would be less than significant in this regard.

4.14 POPULATION AND HOUSING
Would the project:a. Induce substantial unplanned
population growth in an area, either
directly (for example, by proposing newhomes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads orother infrastructure)? b. Displace substantial numbers of existing
people or housing, necessitating the x construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
General PIan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
An intent of the 2030 GP/LCP is to focus future development in Avalon in close proximity to urban and employment centers. Such “infill” development is anticipated to occur in areas with existinghousing in the City Center, in vacant or underutilized parcels on nearby hillsides, or in low-densityResort Recreational areas up Avalon Canyon. Where housing currently exists, near the City Center, infill development could displace existing housing. However, displacement of such housing wouldbe offset by the overall increase in housing units anticipated to occur through the year 2030(estimated increase of approximately 631 new residential units). One of the goals of the 2030 GP/LCP is to establish diverse housing options that are affordable for residents and located in close proximity to jobs and services. In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies intended to increasehousing options. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with implementation of the2030 GP/LCP, impacts related to the displacement of people or housing would be less than significant.
SCAG’s Regional Comprehensive Plan (RCP) serves as a framework for addressing problems and creating a path to correct issues on a regional level through 2035. Population projections are madethrough SCAG’s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and are the basis for growth for the RCP. SCAG projects a population of 5,100 for the City of Avalon by the year 2035. Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would add an estimated 1,041 new permanent residents, bringing the citywide resident population from 3,780 to 4,821 by the year 2030. This growth projection for the year2030 would not exceed SCAG’s forecast population of 5,100 for the year 2035. In addition, the current Avalon Municipal Code restricts the density of residential units on steep hillsides, whichwould limit potential growth in the City’s resident population. Further, the 2030 GP/LCP includespolicies and implementation actions to direct future development in such a way as to minimize the Environmental Analysis 4-42

• Police protection?
• Schools?• Parks?• Other public facilities?
General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
The 2030 GP/LCP would facilitate the development of Expansion Areas No. 1, 2, and 3, as well as intensified development throughout the City, especially in the City Center and the Avalon Canyon areas. Intensified development would be located within the existing Avalon Fire Department servicearea and the existing response times would apply. As such, the intensification of developmentwithin the City would not require new or expanded fire or emergency service facilities because they would fall within the existing service area and response times. However, the expansion areas would increase the service area, which may also increase response times. Avalon Fire Department response times to any new development within expansion areas may be greater than for the areas within the current City limits. However, all three expansion areas would still be expected to fallwithin a 5-minute response area. While fire and emergency medical service capacity is primarilybased on service area, an increase in population would incrementally increase the number ofservice calls and would eventually necessitate the need for additional staff and facilities. However, new development would be required to comply with any additional project-specific requirements set forth by the Avalon Fire Department, including providing adequate water pressure and water for fire flows. In addition to property taxes, which supports the Avalon Fire Department, the City can also require mitigation fees as a condition of approval for individual projects to ensure thatnew developments contribute a fair share to fire and emergency services, facilities, andinfrastructure. In addition, new development sited in high fire hazard areas would be required toadhere to standard requirements set forth by the California Building Code (CBC) with City of Avalon Environmental Analysis 4-44

amendments. The entire City is designated as a very high fire hazard zone. Therefore, any development in the City would be sited in very high fire hazard zones and would be required to adhere to applicable policies. Any development in hillside areas is of particular concern becausethese areas are especially fire prone. Adherence to standard requirements would minimize the risks of fire hazards. Further, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies aimed at addressing potential wild fire hazards associated with potential new development. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIRconcluded that development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would not result in the need for newor expanded fire protection facilities and impacts relating to fire protection would be less than significant.
Police protection services are not “facility-driven;” that is, police protection services are not asreliant on facilities in order to effectively patrol a beat. An expansion of, or intensification of development within, a beat does not necessarily result in the need for additional facilities if policeofficers and patrol vehicles are equipped with adequate telecommunications equipment in order tocommunicate with police headquarters. However, if the geographical area of a beat is expanded, population increases, or intensification/redevelopment of an existing beat results in the need fornew police officers, new or expanded facilities could be needed. The Avalon Patrol Station provides police protection services within the City and would continue to provide police protection services through 2030. Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would not result in the need to construct new police facilities and there would only be a slight increase, if any, in the response times for the potential expansion areas. While the response times would remain relatively low, the projected increase in population through the year 2030 could increase the demand for additional sworn officers. In the event that additional officers are needed to provide adequate police services, the City’s General Fund would continue to provide the finances necessary to employ additional officers. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that development facilitated by the 2030GP/LCP would not result in the need for new or expanded police protection facilities and impacts would be less than significant.
Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would likely increase enrollment at Avalon Schools.
The General Plan/LCP concluded that new students potentially generated by future development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would not exceed the current capacity. State-mandated school impact fees would, however, be required for any new development projects. Pursuant to Section 65995(h) of the California Government Code (Senate Bill 50, chaptered August 27, 1998), the payment of statutory fees “. is deemed to be full and complete mitigation of the impacts of anylegislative or adjudicative act, or both, involving, but not limited to, the planning, use, or development of real property, or any change in governmental organization or reorganization.” Because existing school facilities are sufficient to serve the existing population and the anticipated growth, expansion or construction of new facilities are not planned at this time. The remainingavailable capacity of Avalon School and future payments of school impact fees would ensure that impacts to schools would be less than significant. Site- and project-specific environmental review would be required for schools if, or when, new sites are proposed for development in the future.
Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that the collection of State-mandated school impact fees would reduce school capacity impacts to a less than significant level.
There are various parks and recreational activities within the City of Avalon and the surrounding area of Catalina Island, which are some of the main attractions for tourists and residents, In Environmental Analysis 4-45

addition, the City is surrounded by various water recreational activities, such as boating,snorkeling, scuba diving, and kayaking. The City and the island are also well-known for hiking trails. However, picnic and ball fields within the City are frequently filled with various functions andthere is an existing need for additional facilities An increased population of permanent residents under the 2030 GP/LCP would put an additional strain on park facility resources. However, the 2030 GP/LCP includes two expansion areas that would increase the dedicated open space within the City. Expansion Area 2 would be mostly designated Open Space with some Resort/Recreational uses near the Hamilton Cove area. Expansion Area 3 would all be designated Open Space south of the Avalon Canyon area. Furthermore, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies and implementation actions aimed at expanding and maintaining existing parks and recreation facilities. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FE concluded that with the addition of new designated Open Space uses andadherence to the 2030 GP/LCP policies and implementation actions, impacts to park services and recreation facilities would be reduced to a less than significant level.
Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP would likely generate increased demand for harbor services, such as additional moorings, docks, piers, and restrooms. The addition of moorings,docks, piers, or restrooms could result in potential adverse construction impacts, as well as potential adverse operational impacts. Operational impacts to aesthetics, water quality, utilities,and/or noise would primarily result from an increase in the number of boats and related facilities in the harbor. However, there are currently no planned or pending projects to expand harbor facilities and the construction of new harbor facilities would be subject to individual project reviewand approval by the City of Avalon, wherein any project specific impacts would be addressed. The provision of harbor services is an ancillary service within the City and is based on availability rather than need. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts would be less thansignificant in this regard. However, Mitigation Measure PS-5 is recommended to further reduce impacts associated with an increased demand for harbor services. Mitigation Measure PS-S recommends the addition of a policy and implementation action to the 2030 GP/LCP to improve access to harbor services to meet recreational, commercial, and industrial boating demands.
Analysis of Modified ProjectThe Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. Potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodatethe City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses, The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programs to reducepotential impacts to public services as a result of new development and intensification of land uses.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in public services impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEW, Following compliance with the recommended General Plan/LCP FEIR mitigation measures and General Plan policies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts related to public services as a result of the proposed Project.

General Plan/LCP PEER Conclusions
Avalon does not contain any roadways that are part of the 2010 Los Angeles Congestion Management Plan Transit Network. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP concluded that the 2030 GP/LCP would not conflict with the applicable congestion management plan and no impact wouldoccur in this regard. Though there is an airfield on the northern part of Catalina Island, there are no airfields or airports within the City of Avalon. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP concluded thatno impact to air traffic patterns would occur as a result of buildout under the 2030 GP/LCP.
The 2030 GP/LCP would facilitate development of expansion areas and intensify development in Avalon Canyon. This may incrementally increase traffic on Avalon’s roadway system and affect both intersections and roadway capacities. Avalon does not currently use level of service or other standards for pedestrian and vehicular circulation; rather, the City strictly regulates vehicle use.
According to the 2006 Facilities and Services Holding Capacity Report for the City ofAvalon, overall, there is 46°/o of total vehicle capacity remaining. It is expected that residential and commercial vehicle use would remain constant or drop over time, but the use of autoettes (smaller vehicleswith higher fuel efficiency) would increase as more housing units are developed. Assuming a 1 to 1 ratio of housing units to new autoettes, autoette usage would increase by 22°/o, which is within the remaining vehicle capacity of 46w/a. In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP identifies physical and operational improvements that would address existing circulation issues and accommodate growth.
Further, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies and actions specifically intended to accommodate traffic generated by new growth in the City. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that Environmental Analysis 4-49
City of Avalon I 2021-2029 Housing Element Update
Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
adherence to GP/LCP policies and implementation of planned improvements would ensure theroadway network in Avalon does not exceed capacity and impacts would be less than significant.
The 2030 GP/LCP encourages higher-density, mixed-use mull in the City Center. By emphasizing intensification and reuse in the City Center, the GP/LCP could accommodate new mixed use and residential development along existing roadways. The placement of residences along existing travel corridors is expected to generally increase bicycling and pedestrian activity in these areas, with the potential for increased hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists. However, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies and actions specifically intended to increase traffic calming and enhance the walkability throughout the City. By designating appropriate street segments as one-way andclosing appropriate segments to through traffic, friction between pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles would be reduced. Implementation of proposed policies is expected to generally improve overall safety conditions for pedestrians throughout the City. Implementation of GP/LCP policies on any future development would also minimize traffic-related hazards associated with thedevelopment of those areas. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts related to traffic safety as a result of development under the 2030 GP/LCP would be less than significant.
A goal of the 2030 GP/LCP is to “reduce the amount that people drive by increasing opportunities for walking, bicycling, and transit.” The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies aimed at enhancement of alternative transportation mode opportunities throughout the City. In addition, the GP/LCP emphasizes intensification and reuse of already developed areas of the City. Implementation of the policies included in the 2030 GP/LCP is expected to improve the availability of sidewalks, bike paths, and transit over time. Planned improvements in the Circulation Element would improve alternative transportation modes. By making these transportation alternatives more attractive,GP/LCP implementation is expected to foster an increase of alternative transportation use and adecrease of vehicle use. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that impacts related to alternative transportation would be considered beneficial.
As described above, areas within one-mile beyond the existing city limits would be within the Avalon Fire Department’s 5-minute response area. In addition, all three expansion areas wouldstill be expected to fall within a 5-minute response area. However, the 2030 GP/LCP would facilitatedevelopment into Expansion Areas and into hillside areas that are currently not served by roads, or are served by one roadway. Currently, the Hamilton Cove area is only accessible through one road, which is prone to rock slides. During an emergency event, a slide could prevent emergency access to this area. Improvements in this area are already partially funded and underway.
Development facilitated by the proposed 2030 GP/LCP would be required to comply with applicable Building Code and Fire Code requirements. As such, new development would also be required to comply with any additional project-specific requirements set forth by the Avalon Fire Department, including providing adequate emergency access. In addition, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies consistent with this requirement. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP policies and compliance with existing building and fire codes would address potential emergency access issues associated with potential new development and impacts would be less than significant.

increase with implementation of the 2030 GP/LCP. However, a goal of the Circulation Element is to “ensure the continued availability of water and air transport between Avalon and the mainland.” The 2030 GP/LCP includes policies and implementation actions intended to enhance the regionaltransportation system to and from Avalon. Increased regional transportation demand may require enhanced facilities to accommodate ships, cross channel carriers, and freight service, theconstruction of which may result in secondary impacts to air quality, biological resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and public services (such as Harbor Patrol). However, any facilityenhancement or construction activity would be required to adhere to the California Coastal Act, would require coastal permits, CEQA documentation, and review and oversight by the City and theCoastal Commission. Further, facilities would be required to follow all Coast Guard rules and regulations regarding sea travel, traffic schemes, and passenger safety. Therefore, the GeneralPlan/LCP FEIR concluded that with adherence to these regulations, impacts would be less than significant.
Analysis of Modified Project
The General Plan/LCP FEIR did not address potential impacts to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) because at the time of preparation of the General Plan/LCP FEIR, VMT was not the primary metricused as the basis for determining the significance of transportation impacts under CEQA. However, the proposed Project does not include site-specific development or result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was considered in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Thus, the proposed Project would result in the same VMT as would occur under the existing General Plan and would not result in new impacts or substantially more significant impacts related to VMT.As noted above, the Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programs to reduce potential impacts to the circulation system, including increased hazardsand emergency access, as a result of new development and intensification of land uses.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in transportation impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with the recommended General PlanPolicies, there would be no new significant or significantly different impacts related to transportation as a result of the proposed Project.

General Plan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Since certification of the General Plan/LCP FEIR, the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Checklist has been revised to include a new category for Tribal Cultural Resources impacts. This topical area is addressed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR Section 4.4, Cultural Resources.
Analysis of Modified ProjectThe Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites toaccommodate the City’s RHNA would be consistent with the adopted land use policy and would not result in any changes to existing land uses or allow for greater development than what was analyzed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. The Avalon General Plan includes policies and programsand the General Plan/LCP FEIR includes Mitigation Measure CR-i to add implementation actions to the 2030 GP/LCP Conservation Element to reduce impacts related to tribal cultural resources. The Housing Element policies and programs would not have an impact on existing General Plan policiesprotecting tribal cultural resources.
The revisions to the Housing Element would not result in new tribal cultural resource impacts beyond those identified in the General Plan/LCP FEIR. Following compliance with the recommended Environmental Analysis 4-52

e. Comply with federal, state, and local

Development facilitated by the 2030 GP/LCP includes development and redevelopment of lands within the current City boundaries, as well as within potential annexation areas, referred to as “Expansion Areas.” Areas where redevelopment activity could occur include areas that are alreadyserved by existing water infrastructure. Development of vacant lands would require new connections. New development would result in a permanent increase in the City’s water demand relative to existing conditions. The General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that current surplus of freshwater would be adequate to serve the estimated increase in demand due to the 2030 GP/LCP.
In addition, the desalination plant has the capacity to increase the production of desalinated water, which would provide an additional buffer of freshwater availability for growth projected under the 2030 GP/LCP. Further, infrastructure improvements and increased connectivity to the saltwater system would further reduce demand on freshwater. Due to the limited groundwater supply in Avalon and the high cost of desalinated water, the City should continue to pursue new sources of Environmental Analysis 4-54

Addendum to the General Plan/LCP FEIR
freshwater and implement water conservation strategies. Accordingly, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies that would further reduce impacts to water supply. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that water supply impacts would be less than significant.Population growth projected under the 2030 GP/LCP would increase city-wide wastewater generation. However, sufficient treatment capacity exists at the Avalon Wastewater Treatment Facility to serve the increase in population under the 2030 GP/LCP. In addition, sewer line capacity estimates indicate that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate existing and new wastewater generated by additional population under the 2030 GP/LCP. Further, the City’s Municipal Coderequires all plans for the construction of sewer infrastructure to meet all design requirements, as established by the City Engineer. Projects that could occur during the lifetime of the 2030 GP/LCPwould be examined on an individual basis to determine their effects on the wastewater infrastructure. Therefore, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that with adherence to the City’sMunicipal Code and because the wastewater treatment provider has adequate capacity to meet the potential population growth, no new wastewater treatment facilities or the expansion of existing facilities would be necessary, and impacts related to the City’s sewer system capacity would be less than significant.
Increased population and development that may occur under the GP/LCP would generate additional solid waste. The General Plan/LCP concluded that the Pebbly Beach Disposal site would havesufficient capacity to serve the daily throughput of solid waste generated by the 2030 population.
In addition, the City has entered into a new contract with CR&R, Inc that would extend the capacity and life of the landfill. Under this new disposal agreement with CR&R, the life and capacity of the landfill would be extended to the year 2033 on account of a larger baler that would be installed at the landfill site. Additionally, the height of the landfill would be raised and an energy to power plant is being proposed that would further extend the life of the landfill. Further, the City hasimplemented 25 diversion programs to increase the life of the landfill. The California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 requires all cities in California to achieve a 50°/o solid wastediversion rate by the year 2000. As of 2006, the City of Avalon achieved a solid waste diversion rate of 7O%. In addition to the diversion programs in place, the 2030 GP/LCP includes policies andimplementation actions related to minimizing solid waste. Potential future development facilitatedby the 2030 GP/LCP would also be reviewed on a project-by-project basis; solid waste impacts would be evaluated based on existing and planned disposal facilities and capacities available.
Therefore, the General Plan/LCP concluded that through the continued efforts of the existing diversion programs and the new disposal agreement with CR&R that would extend the life andcapacity of the landfill through at least the year 2033, the GP/LCP policies and implementationactions, and project specific review, the current landfill facility would have sufficient capacity toserve the daily throughput of solid waste generated by the 2030 population; impacts related tosolid waste would be less than significant.

General PIan/LCP FEIR Conclusions
Since certification of the General Plan/LCP FEIR, the CEQA Guidelines Appendix C Checklist has been revised to include a new category for Wildfire impacts. This topical area is addressed in the General Plan/LCP FEIR Section 4.12, Public Services.
The entire City is designated as a very high fire hazard zone. Therefore, any development in the City would be sited in very high fire hazard zones and would be required to adhere to applicable policies. Any development in hillside areas is of particular concern because these areas are especially fire prone. Adherence to standard requirements would minimize the risks of fire hazards.
Further, the 2030 GP/LCP contains policies aimed at addressing potential wild fire hazards associated with potential new development, Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Analysis of Modified ProjectThe Project does not propose site-specific development, but is rather an update to a policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. The Housing Element Update proposes housing policies that would encourage housing production within the planning area. However, potential development of vacant and underutilized sites to accommodate the City’s Environmental Analysis 4-57

As described above, the General Plan/LCP FEIR concluded that full implementation of the General Plan would result in less than significant impacts or less than significant impacts with theimplementation of mitigation measures for all issue areas analyzed. The General Plan/LCP FEIR’s background and policy information and environmental impact conclusions are cited throughout this Addendum.
Analysis of Modified Project
Future housing could significantly impact, directly or through habitat modifications, sensitive vegetation communities and/or sensitive plant and wildlife species; refer to Section 4.4 above.
Additionally, ground-disturbing activities associated with future development, such as grading or excavation, could unearth undocumented archeological or disturb unknown human remains; referto Section 4.5 above. Individual project proposals would be subject to review under CEQA, and site-specific biological and cultural surveys would be conducted, as needed, to evaluate potential Environmental Analysis 4-59

SUBJECT: Consideration of Transportation Permit — Daniel Mello, dba Catalina Island Golf Cart Tours
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss and provide direction to Staff. If consensus to approveis reached make the affirmative finding that the criteria set forth in Avalon Municipal Code Section 5-14.04 has been meet.REPORT SUMMARY: On August 16, 2022 Daniel Mello, dba Catalina Island Golf Cart Tours, submitted a Transportation Permit application to the City of Avalon to perform guided autoette tours.The proposed route includes areas from the downtown area to Three Palms, Chimes Tower Road, and Botanical Gardens.It is stated in the application that the business will operate year-round, during daylight hours or from 7:00 am. to 7 p.m. daily. The business will not have a brick-and-mortar location and beweb based. Customer’s utilizing the service will be picked-up and dropped off at prearranged locations — such as hotels, vacation rentals, etc. The operation plan includes use of two golf carts — both requiring new commercial permits. If the transportation permit is approved, then will need to seek approval from the vehicle hearing officer. Upon approval, the commercially permitted vehicle will be required to have off-street overnight parking.
Avalon Municipal Code Section (AMC) 5-14.04 requires a hearing before the City Council to determine whether a transportation permit should be approved. Per the AMC Sec. 5-14.04 (ii) Permits: Applications: Requirements.* (b) The Council may grant a permit upon the proposed terms or upon terms otherthan those proposed. The Council shall make the initial permit grant, and the VehicleClerk may thereafter renew a permit if he is able to make affirmative findings based onthe criteria set forth below. If the Vehicle Clerk is unable to make the affirmative findings, he shall so advise the permit holder and set a hearing date before the VehicleHearing Officer, whose decision on the renewal shall be appealable to the City Councilin accordance with the procedures set forth in Title 1, Chapter 4.:
(1) The applicant has presented facts demonstrating a necessity for the requested vehicle(s).
(2) The requested vehicle(s) is appropriate for the intended use and necessary, for the proper functioning of the applicants enterprise; (3) The requested vehicle(s) will not have a deleterious impact on traffic congestion, traffic safety, noise or air pollution;

2023 Ford E-350 $217,760.12 $239,643.392024 Ford E-450 $240,882.51 $265,078.01 Fire Personnel has determined that the 2023 Ford E-350 is the most appropriate vehicle for Avalon — while also being the less expensive option.
Both quotes contains a new battery powered gurney system — Stryker Power-Pro Cot 6507, Stryker Power-Loader with Mass Casualty Fastener — an approximately $74,188 additionalcost. The City of Avalon is one of the few Fire Departments that does not currently utilize anelectronic or hydraulic powered gurney system. Currently, Fire Personnel manually lift patients into and out of the ambulance. The upgraded electronic system has a 700 pound capacity and will relieve Fire Personnel from the manual burden of lifting the gurney into the future ambulance. The new system includes a 7 year service plan.
Since Fire Personnel have begun seeking quotes from qualified vendors, prices have increased significantly. As such, Staff would like to lock in a rate as soon as possible. If authorized, the City will not need to remit full payment until the ambulance is shipped to the Island — an approximate 18-24 month lead time. However, the City will be responsible for making payment on the gurney system within the current fiscal year - $51,410.
The current fiscal year budget has $250,000 for fire department vehicle replacement — fund #10245-6871.
FISCAL IMPACTS: Approximately $52,000 to be expended as budgeted in Fiscal Year 2022- 23—fund #10245-6871.CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION: Costs and wait times will continue to rise and the Fire Department will not have a replacement vehicle for Rescue 4.
FOLLOW UP ACTION: Implement City Council direction.
