Introduction

Final Environmental Impact Report 1-1
1 Introduction
This Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been prepared by the City of Burbank (City) for the Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update (hereafter referred to as the “Housing and Safety Element Update” or “Project”). This Final EIR has been prepared in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) statues (California Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et. seq., as amended) and implementing guidelines (California Code Regs., Title14, Section 15000 et. seq.).

Before approving a project, CEQA requires the lead agency to prepare and certify a Final EIR. The City has the principal responsibility for approval of the proposed Project and is therefore considered the lead agency under CEQA Section 21067. According to the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15132, the Final EIR shall consist of:
 The Draft EIR or a revision of the Draft EIR
 Comments and recommendations received on the Draft EIR either verbatim or in summary  A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies commenting on the Draft EIR  The responses of the lead agency to significant environmental points raised in the review and consultation process
 Any other information added by the lead agency
The Draft EIR was circulated for a 65-day public review period that began on January 26, 2022, and ended on March 31, 2022. In addition, the Project Description, Biological Resources, and Utilities/Service Systems sections of the Draft EIR were recirculated for a public review period that began on July 22, 2022 and ended on September 6, 2022.

Format of the Final EIR
The Final EIR consists of the following four chapters:
 Introduction. This chapter summarizes the contents of the Final EIR, the environmental review process, and provides a summary of the Project characteristics and the alternatives that were analyzed.
 Response to Comments. During the public review period for the Draft EIR, written comment letters were received by the City and oral testimony was provided at public meetings. Chapters 2 and 3 of the Final EIR contain the comment letters for the Draft EIR and Recirculated Draft EIR, respectively, a summary of the oral testimony, and the City’s responses to the comments.  Errata to the Draft EIR. Several of the comments that are addressed in the Response to Comments resulted in minor revisions to the information contained in the January 2022 Draft EIR. Several other revisions have been made to correct typographical errors. These revisions are shown in strikeout and underline text in this chapter.
 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. This section of the Final EIR provides the mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) for the proposed Project. The MMRP is presented in table format and identifies mitigation measures for the proposed Project, the implementation period for each measure, the monitoring period for each measure, and the enforcing agency. The MMRP also provides a section for recordation of mitigation reporting.

Environmental Review Process
Notice of Preparation
The City of Burbank distributed a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of the EIR for a 30-day agency and public review period starting on February 22, 2021 and ending on March 23, 2021. In addition, the City held an online EIR Scoping Meeting on February 27, 2021. The meeting, held from 11:00 AM from 12:30 PM, was aimed at providing information about the proposed Project to members of public agencies, interested stakeholders and residents/community members. Due to COVID19 regulation the meeting was held online via zoom and additionally was live streamed on the City of Burbank YouTube channel.

In addition, the City of Burbank distributed a recirculated NOP of the EIR for an extended 30-day agency and public review period concluding on April 15, 2021. The original NOP stated that the EIR would analyze the addition of 8,800 units under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that was conducted for the Housing Element Update. However, it was determined that the EIR would analyze 10,088 units to account for a 15 percent buffer for the RHNA. Therefore, the NOP was recirculated on March 17, 2021, with the higher number. In addition, the City held a second EIR Scoping Meeting on March 31, 2021. The meeting, held from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, was aimed at providing information about the proposed Project to members of public agencies, interested stakeholders and residents/community members. The meeting was conducted online via zoom.

The City received letters from five agencies in response to the NOP and recirculated NOP during the public review period, as well as various verbal comments during the two EIR Scoping Meetings. The NOP and recirculated NOP are presented in Appendix A of the Draft EIR, along with the NOP responses received for both notices, and the Initial Study that was prepared for the Project is included in Appendix B of the Draft EIR. Table 1-1 in Section 1, Introduction, of the Draft EIR, summarizes the content of the letters and Scoping Meeting comments, and identifies where the issues are addressed in the Draft EIR or the Initial Study.

The NOP that was circulated on March 17, 2021 for the proposed Project included an estimated growth of 10,088 housing units based on the City’s RHNA allocation and 15 percent buffer. 1 However, the estimated growth for the purpose of the Draft EIR analysis was changed to 10,456 housing units to account for the 2029 interpolated housing growth assumed under the two Specific Plans along with the City’s RHNA allocation.

Noticing and Availability of the Draft EIR
The Draft EIR was made available for public review and comment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15087. The public review period for the Draft EIR started on January 26, 2022, and ended on March 31, 2022. At the beginning of the public review period, the Draft EIR and one copy of the Notice of Completion (NOC) were submitted to the State Clearinghouse.

A Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIR was mailed to 40 agencies and organizations. An NOA was also sent to individuals who had previously requested such notice in writing. The NOA was filed with the Los Angeles County Clerk and published in the Los Angeles Times on January 26, 2022. The NOA described where the document is available for public review and how to submit comments on

1 Since circulation of the Recirculated Draft EIR on July 22, 2022, the site capacity in the revised version of the Housing Element is 10,011 housing units, which now includes a 14 percent buffer. The Project details in the Summary of Project and Alternatives reflect the revised version of the Housing Element. However, the EIR analysis maintains a conservative analysis using 10,456 housing units as the estimated growth to account for the 2029 interpolated housing growth assumed under the two Specific Plans along with the City’s RHNA al location.

the Draft EIR. The NOA and Draft EIR were also made available for public review at the City of Burbank, Community Services Building, 1st Floor Community Development Department, at 150 North Third Street, Burbank; the Burbank Central Library at 110 North Glenoaks Boulevard, Burbank; the Buena Vista Branch Library at 300 North Buena Vista Street, Burbank; the Northwest Branch Library at 3323 West Victory Boulevard, Burbank; and on the City’s website. The public review period provided interested public agencies, groups, and individuals the opportunity to comment on the contents of the Draft EIR. During the public review period, oral comments were received during the Planning Commission meeting held on March 14, 2022.

Noticing and Availability of the Recirculated Draft EIR The Recirculated Draft EIR was made available for public review and comment pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15087. The Recirculated Draft EIR included revisions to the Project Description, the Biological Resources section and the Utilities/Service Systems section. The public review period for the Recirculated Draft EIR started on July 22, 2022 and ended on September 6, 2022. At the beginning of the public review period, the Recirculated Draft EIR and the Notice of Completion (NOC) were submitted to the State Clearinghouse. A NOA and an electronic copy of the Recirculated Draft EIR was mailed to 40 agencies and organizations. Relevant agencies were sent electronic copies of the documents. An NOA was also sent to individuals who had previously requested such notice in writing. The NOA was filed at the Los Angeles County Clerk and published in the Los Angeles Times on July 22, 2022. The NOA described where the document is available for public review and how to submit comments on the Recirculated Draft EIR. The NOA and Recirculated Draft EIR were also made available for public review at the City of Burbank, Community Services Building, 1 st Floor Community Development Department, at 150 North Third Street, Burbank; the Burbank Central Library at 110 North Glenoaks Boulevard, Burbank; the Buena Vista Branch Library at 300 North Buena Vista Street, Burbank; the Northwest Branch Library at 3323 West Victory Boulevard, Burbank; and on the City’s website. The public review period provided interested public agencies, groups, and individuals the opportunity to comment on the contents of the Recirculated Draft EIR.

During the public review period, oral comments were received during the Planning Commission meeting held on August 22, 2022.

Final EIR
The Final EIR addresses the comments received during the public review period and includes minor changes to the text of the Draft EIR in accordance with comments that necessitated revisions. This Final EIR will be presented to the Planning Board and City Council for potential certification as the environmental document for the proposed Project. All persons who commented on the Draft EIR will be notified of the availability of the Final EIR prior to the public hearings, and all agencies who commented on the Draft EIR will be provided with a copy of the Final EIR at least 10 days before EIR certification, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088(b). The Final EIR will also be posted on the City’s website.

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15091, the City shall make findings for each of the significant effects identified in this EIR and shall support the findings with substantial evidence in the record.

After considering the EIR in conjunction with making findings under Section 15091, the lead agency may decide whether or how to approve or carry out the Project. Although the City finds that the inclusion of mitigation measures as part of Project approval will reduce most of the potentially significant effects to less than significant, one transportation impact related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and one utilities/service systems impact related to wastewater will remain ATTACHMENT 12-8

significant and unavoidable after implementation of mitigation. As such, the City the prepared a statement of overriding considerations pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15093 for consideration by the City Council.

In addition, when approving a project, public agencies must also adopt a MMRP describing the changes that were incorporated into the proposed Project or made a condition of Project approval to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15097). The MMRP is adopted at the time of Project approval and is designed to ensure compliance during Project implementation. Upon approval of the proposed Project, the City will be responsible for implementation of the Project’s MMRP.

Revisions to the Draft EIR
The comments received during the public review period for the Draft EIR resulted in several minor clarifications and modifications in the text of the January 2022 Draft EIR. These changes are included in Section 4, Errata to the Draft EIR, of the Final EIR, to be presented to City decision makers for certification and Project approval.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5 sets forth requirements for why a lead agency must recirculate an EIR. A lead agency is required to recirculate an EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given of the availability of the Draft EIR but before certification of the Final EIR. New information may include changes in the project or environmental setting as well as additional data or other information. New information added to an EIR is not considered significant unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project’s proponents have declined to implement. As defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(a), significant new information requiring recirculation includes the following:

A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.

A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.

A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the project’s proponents decline to adopt it.

The Draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded.

The minor clarifications and modifications that were made to the Draft EIR are shown in the Errata of this Final EIR. None of the revisions that have been made to the EIR resulted in new significant impacts; none of the revisions resulted in a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact identified in the Draft EIR; and none of the revisions introduced a feasible Project alternative or mitigation measure that is considerably different from those set forth in the Draft EIR.

Furthermore, the revisions do not cause the Draft EIR to be so fundamentally flawed that it precludes meaningful public review. As none of the CEQA criteria for recirculation have been met, recirculation of the EIR is not warranted. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5(b), “recirculation is not required where the new information added to the EIR merely clarifies or amplifies or makes insignificant modifications in an adequate EIR.” ATTACHMENT 12-9

Final Environmental Impact Report 1-5
Summary of the Project and Alternatives
The following is a summary of the full Project description, which can be found in Section 2, Project Description, of the Draft EIR.

The proposed Project would involve an update to the Housing Element of the City’s Burbank2035 General Plan for the 2021-2029 planning period, along with minor updates to the Safety, Land Use, Open Space and Conservation, Air Quality and Climate Change, Noise, and Mobility Elements, and the incorporation of environmental justice goals, policies and objectives into the Burbank2035 General Plan. The proposed Housing and Safety Element Update establishes programs, policies and actions to further the goal of meeting the existing and projected housing needs of all household income levels of the community; provides evidence of the City’s ability to accommodate the RHNA allocation through the year 2029, as established by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and identifies any rezoning program needed to reach the required housing capacity. The Safety Element update is triggered by various new provisions of State law, the Mobility Element update would incorporate VMT metrics per Senate Bill (SB) 743, and the environmental justice policies would be added pursuant to the requirements of SB 1000 which requires that revisions or adoption of two or more elements of a general plan on or after January 1, 2018 “adopt or review the Environmental Justice Element, or the environmental justice goals, policies, and objectives in other elements” to focus on the inclusion of disadvantaged communities (DACs) in decision making procedures as well as increasing protections for these communities.

The Project would require the following discretionary approvals:
 Certification of this EIR prepared for the proposed Project  Adoption of the Housing Element Update for the 2021-2029 planning period  Adoption of updates to the Safety Element
 Adoption of updates to other Burbank2035 General Plan elements to incorporate environmental justice policies
 Rezoning of opportunity sites within the Specific Plan areas After adoption by the City Council, the updated Housing Element will be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for certification. The Safety Element updates will be submitted to CalFire for their review and approval.

Project Characteristics
The Housing and Safety Element Update would apply to the entire geographic area located within the boundaries of the City of Burbank, which encompasses 17.1 square miles. The Project would involve an update to the Housing Element of the City’s 2035General Plan for the 2021-2029 planning period, along with minor updates to the Safety, Land Use, Open Space and Conservation, Air Quality and Climate Change, Noise, and Mobility Elements, and the incorporation of environmental justice goals, policies and objectives into the 2035 General Plan. The proposed Housing Element Update establishes programs, policies and actions to further the goal of meeting the existing and projected housing needs of all household income levels of the community; provides evidence of the City’s ability to accommodate the RHNA allocation through the year 2029, as established by SCAG; and identifies any rezoning program needed to reach the required housing capacity.

Housing Element
The Housing Element is comprised of the following major components:
 Review of effectiveness of existing Housing Element
 Assessment of existing and projected housing needs
 Identification of resources – financial, land, administrative  Evaluation of constraints to the development of housing  Housing Plan – goals, policies, and programs including programs 10 and 11 that provide for updates to local density bonus and inclusionary housing regulations that includes an economic feasibility analysis to evaluate the potential impact of adding prevailing wage and workforce training requirements to new housing developments
The Housing Element Update would provide a framework for accommodating new housing at all levels of affordability that is within access to transit, Downtown jobs, services, and open spaces within the 8-year planning period of October 2021-October 2029. New housing units may occur anywhere in the City where residential uses are permitted, as well as in areas that may be rezoned in the future to allow for multi-family residential and mixed-use residential of adequate density to meet State-required housing production and affordability targets as discussed below.

RHNA Allocation
SCAG has allocated the region’s 1,341,827 housing unit growth needs to each city and county through a process called the RHNA. The RHNA represents the minimum number of housing units that the City is required to plan for in its housing element by providing “adequate sites” through the Burbank2035 General Plan and zoning residential capacity. As shown in Table 1-1, Burbank’s RHNA allocation for the 2021-2029 planning period (6
th RHNA cycle) is 8,772 units, which is distributed
among four income categories. Additionally, the City is required to provide a sufficient buffer beyond that required by the RHNA to ensure that adequate site capacity exists throughout the eight-year planning period.

Table 1-1 RHNA Percentage of Income Distribution
Income Level Percent of Area Median Income (AMI) Units Percent Very Low 0-50% 2,553 29%
Low 51-80% 1,418 16%
Moderate 81-120% 1,409 16%
Above Moderate >120% 3,392 39%
Total – 8,772 100%
The RHNA represents the minimum number of housing units that the City is required to plan for in its housing element by providing “adequate sites” through the 2035General Plan and zoning.

Table 1-2 shows the estimated number and affordability level of housing units to accommodate the City’s RHNA under the existing General Plan and zoning, including projects that are entitled and pending entitlement, specified housing opportunity sites, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) expected to be developed over the course of the planning period, and the units produced through the City’s committed assistance program. As shown in Table 1-2, these sources total 7,569, which falls short of the RHNA allocation by 1,203 units.

1 ADUs are small backyard units that are either attached or detached from a single-family home. 2 Committed Assistance units are units that the City has provided a legally enforceable agreement to provide. This is through an ongoing partnership with the Burbank Housing Corporation. See the Housing Element for further discussion.

To make up for this shortfall of 1,203 units, the Housing Element includes a housing program to rezone additional opportunity sites through adoption of two specific plan projects: the Downtown Transit-Oriented-Development Specific Plan (Downtown TOD) and the Golden State Specific Plan (GSSP) (see Figure 2-3 in Section 2, Project Description, of the Draft EIR for the Specific Plan locations and opportunity sites). Adoption of these Specific Plans will provide the necessary zoning, development standards, and processing procedures to facilitate the production of the shortfall of housing units required to accommodate the City’s RHNA during the Housing Element planning period. The zone changes required by these Specific Plans will be adopted in 2022-2023, or within three years of the start of the planning period as required by State law.

Table 1-3 shows the number of units expected from the rezoning of the Specific Plan areas. With the additional rezone sites the City would exceed the RHNA requirement by 1,239 units with an additional 2,442 units accommodated. The State requires jurisdictions to create a sufficient buffer in the Housing Element sites inventory beyond that required by the RHNA to ensure that adequate site capacity exists throughout the eight-year planning period. The NOP that was circulated on March 17, 2021 for the proposed Project included an estimated growth of 10,088 housing units based on the City’s RHNA allocation and 15 percent buffer. However, the estimated growth for the purpose of this analysis was changed to 10,456 housing units to account for the 2029 interpolated housing growth assumed under the two Specific Plans along with the City’s RHNA allocation.

Housing Opportunity Sites
The opportunity sites include 19 locations that have the greatest potential to accommodate the RHNA’s housing growth allocated for Burbank. Twelve of the opportunity sites are located in the proposed Downtown TOD Specific Plan area and seven sites are located in the proposed Golden State Specific Plan area. The locations of these sites of shown in Figure 2-3 of Section 2, Project Description, of the Recirculated Draft EIR.

Safety Element Update
The Safety Element update will ensure consistency with the Housing Element Update and will comply with recent State legislation and guidelines (including Assembly Bill 162, SB 1241, SB 99, Assembly Bill 747, SB 1035 and SB 379). Amendments incorporate data and maps, address vulnerability to climate change; incorporate policies and programs from the City’s Hazard Mitigation Plan and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan, as well as partial or full integration of other City documents and programs (including but not limited to: Ready Burbank and the Emergency Survival Program). Key areas of the Burbank Safety Element update include updated flooding and fire hazard maps, emergency response and preparedness, especially as they relate to the City’s projected climate change exposure, and vulnerability. The Safety Element amendments were submitted to the California State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) for review on August 16, 2022, and the document was revised to incorporate the revisions recommended by the CalFire. The Safety Element will be presented to the CalFire Board on September 20, 2022, for final approval.

Environmental Justice Update
SB 1000 states that revisions or adoption of two or more elements of a general plan on or after January 1, 2018, trigger a requirement to “adopt or review the Environmental Justice Element, or the environmental justice goals, policies, and objectives in other elements.” Environmental justice goals, policies, and objectives must aim to reduce health risks to DACs, promote civil engagement, and prioritize the needs of these communities. Environmental justice goals, policies, and objectives must aim to reduce health risks to DACs, promote civic engagement, and prioritize the needs of these communities. Appendix B of the Draft EIR includes a list of the updates to policies and implementation measures for the Safety, Land Use, Open Space and Conservation, Air Quality and Climate Change, Noise, and Mobility Elements of the Burbank2035 General Plan. These updates focus on the inclusion of disadvantaged communities in decision making procedures as well as increasing protections for these communities.

Mobility Element Update
SB 743 requires the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to establish new metrics for determining the significance of transportation impacts of projects within transit priority areas (TPAs) and allows OPR to extend use of the metrics beyond TPAs. OPR selected VMT as the preferred transportation impact metric and applied their discretion to require its use statewide. In order to comply with this requirement, the Mobility Element would be updated to require the use of VMT analysis according to OPR guidelines.

Project Objectives
 Meet the City’s fair share, plus a reasonable buffer, of the regional housing need to accommodate projected population growth within the City and region consistent with the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation
 Conserve and enhance the quality of existing housing and neighborhoods  Provide housing sites that accommodate a range of housing types to meet the diverse needs of existing and future residents
 Continue to facilitate the development of housing affordable for all economic segments of the community and make inroads in addressing the City’s jobs-to-housing imbalance  Focus on removing governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing
 Promote non-discrimination and fair and equal housing opportunities for all persons Alternatives
As required by CEQA, the EIR examines alternatives to the proposed Project. Studied alternatives include the following two alternatives discussed below. Alternative 1 would be the environmentally superior alternative.

Alternative 1: No Project
The “No Project” Alternative involves continued implementation of the existing 2013-2021 Housing Element and a continued growth rate predicted by SCAG to yield 3,591 units by 2029. The No Project Alternative assumes that the City’s existing plan and policies would continue to accommodate development in accordance with existing land use designations. Ultimately, this alternative would not fulfill the State requirements regarding updates to the Housing Element and SCAG’s RHNA allocation.

Due to the limitation placed on development in the city under existing plans and policies, the No Project Alternative would not be consistent with Objective 1, which aims to accommodate employment, housing, and population growth projections forecasted through the planning horizon year of 2029 and Objective 4, which aims to facilitate affordable housing options throughout the city.

Alternative 1 (No Project) assumes continued implementation of the existing 2013-2021 Housing Element and a continued growth rate predicted by SCAG to yield 3,591 units by 2029. Alternative 1 also assumes that the City’s existing plan and policies would continue to accommodate development in accordance with existing land use designations. This alternative would result in less impacts to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation, and utilities and service systems due to the decrease in residential units developed.

However, impacts relating to transportation and traffic would be greater than under the Project as the VMT for the City would not be reduced by the 15 percent required for each of the three service populations because there would not be sufficient population added to the area surrounding the transit corridors and employment areas to reduce driving distances. Furthermore, Alternative 1 would not fulfill Project Objective 1 because the continued implementation of the existing 2013- 2021 Housing Element would result in the development of fewer residential units and therefore, would be unable to accommodate employment, housing, and population growth projections ATTACHMENT 12-14

forecasted through the planning horizon year of 2029. In addition, Alternative 1 would not fulfill Project Objective 4 because continued implementation of the existing 2013-2021 Housing Element would limit additional affordable housing options throughout the City.

Alternative 2: City Build-Out
Alternative 2 (City Build-Out) would involve the buildout of 18,600 units, which would result in 8,144 additional units and bring the City residential units up to the limit established by Measure One. This alternative would increase density throughout the City by accommodating the additional units in the Medium Density, High Density and Various Commercial zone districts. Alternative 2 would result in less impacts to transportation and traffic as the reduction in VMT over the SCAG region would be greater than that of the proposed Project. However, impacts relating to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, population and housing, public services, and recreation would be higher than under the Project due to the 78 percent increase in residential units developed. In addition, the increase in residential units would require new connections for water supply, wastewater conveyance and sufficient capacity for wastewater treatment, electricity use, solid waste disposal, and telecommunications and would likely result in the construction of new water, wastewater, electricity, solid waste and telecommunications facilities to serve the expanded population.

Therefore, impacts relating to utilities and service systems under this alternative would be significant and unavoidable, resulting in greater impacts than under the Project. Furthermore, Alternative 2 would not fulfill Objective 2 as it would change the character of existing neighborhoods by increasing the density.

Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR Final Environmental Impact Report
2 Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR
This section includes comments received during the circulation of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update (hereafter referred to as the “Housing and Safety Element Update” or “Project”).

The Draft EIR was circulated for a 65-day public review period that began on January 26, 2022, and ended on March 31, 2022. The City of Burbank received 143 comment letters on the Draft EIR. The commenters and the page number on which each commenter’s letter appear are listed below.

Responses to oral comments received during the Planning Board meeting held on March 14, 2022, are provided under the Planning Board (P) and Speaker (S) sections as identified below.

The comments are typically presented chronologically based on the date received. However, among the letters received by Organizations, one separate commenter (Letter O-1) raised specific concerns regarding the adequacy of the Draft EIR whereas the remaining commenters raise non-CEQA issues pertaining solely to the proposed Project and/or other topics unrelated to the Draft EIR. Therefore, this letter is addressed first to maintain the focus on the Draft EIR prepared for the proposed Project, and the exhibits to the letter are included as Appendix H of this EIR.

In addition, the Project Description, Biological Resources, and Utilities/Service Systems sections of the Draft EIR were recirculated for a 47-day review period that began on July 22, 2022. Responses to comments received on the Recirculated Draft EIR, including oral comments during the Planning Board meeting held on August 22, 2022, are provided in Section 3 of the Final EIR.

Dear Shipra Rajesh:

Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the environmental review process for the above referenced environmental document. The Burbank Housing Element Update and Associated General Plan Updates involves an update to the Housing Element for the 2021 -2029 planning period, along with minor updates to the Safety and Mobility Elements, and incorporates environmental justice goals, policies and objectives to the City of Burbank’s 2035 General Plan. The updated Housing Element will lay the foundation for achievement of the City’s fair share housing needs for approximately 10,456 additional units.

The mission of Caltrans is to provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all people and respects the environment. Senate Bill 743 (2013) has codified into CEQA law and mandated that CEQA review of transportation impacts of proposed development be modified by using Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) as the primary metric in identifying transportation impacts for all future development projects. You may reference the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) for more information:
http://opr.ca.gov/ceqa/updates/guidelines/
As a reminder, VMT is the standard transportation analysis metric in CEQA for land use projects after July 1, 2020, which is the statewide implementation date.

Caltrans is aware of challenges that the region faces in identifying viable solutions to alleviating congestion on State and Local facilities. With limited room to expand vehicular capacity, all future developments should incorporate multi -modal and complete streets transportation elements that will actively promote alternatives to car use an d better Letter A-2

manage existing parking assets. Prioritizing and allocating space to efficient modes of travel such as bicycling and public transit can allow streets to transport more people in a fixed amount of right-of-way.

Caltrans supports the implementation of complete streets and pedestrian safety measures such as road diets and other traffic calming measures. Please note the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recognizes the road diet treatment as a proven safety countermeasure, and the cost of a road diet can be significantly reduced if implemented in tandem with routine street resurfacing. Overall, the environmental report should ensure all modes are served well by planning and development activities. This includes reducing single occupancy vehicle trips, ensuring safety, reducing vehicle miles traveled, supporting accessibility, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

We encourage the Lead Agency to evaluate the potential of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications in order to better manage the transportation network, as well as transit service and bicycle or pedestrian connectivity improvements. For additional TDM options, please refer to the Federal Highway Administration’s Integrating Demand Management into the Transportation Planning Process: A Desk Reference (Chapter 8). This reference is available online at:

“Provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all people and respects the environment”

Caltrans encourages lead agencies to prepare traffic safety impact analysis for all developments in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review process so that, through partnerships and collaboration, California can reach zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2050.

Caltrans acknowledges from the DEIR that “As shown in Table 4.11-1, full buildout of the 2029 Housing Element Update would result in 3 percent less average total VMT per service population, 39 percent less average VMT per capita, and 7 percent less average VMT per employee compared to the 2021 SCAG region baseline. This result exceeds the thresholds of significance for average total VMT per service population and average VMT per employee and does not exceed the threshold of significance for average VMT per capita. The analysis shows that the addition of new housing to the Ci ty in conformance with the goals and policies of the Housing Element provides a large reduction in VMT per capita because the Project improves the jobs-to-housing balance in Burbank, allowing more residents to live closer to their work location. The goals and policies of the Housing Element also reduce VMT per employee. However, since a large proportion of employees who work in Burbank live outside of Burbank, the reduction in VMT per employee due to the Project is not as large as the reduction in VMT per capita.

In other words, adding housing supply affects resident travel behavior more so than employee travel behavior. Similarly, the Project provides a reduction in total VMT per service population, but to a lesser extent than VMT per capita. This is because total VMT per service population includes non-home-based trips, such as heavy truck delivery trips (i.e., adding housing supply does not directly affect freight/logistics operations in the City).

Therefore, while the Housing Element would reduce VMT for all three metrics, it would not reduce them beyond the threshold of 15 percent for two of the metrics. Since the Housing Element Update would exceed two of the three thresholds of significance, the project results in a significant impact.”

Potential mitigation measures that would reduce the average total VMT per service population and average VMT per employee are generally project specific mitigation measures such as:
• Provide bicycle parking at employer locations
• Provide parking cash-out programs
• Provide car-sharing, bike sharing, and ride-sharing programs at employer locations
• Provide transit passes to employees
• Improve or increase transit accessibility to employer locations • Improve pedestrian or bicycle networks, or transit service • Provide traffic calming features on City roadways

“Provide a safe and reliable transportation network that serves all people and respects the environment”

These mitigation measures can be applied at the project specific level but are not feasible at the program level for a housing element as they are beyond the scope of the document.

Therefore, there is no feasible mitigation available to reduce the impacts.

Given the above finding , Caltrans recommends a post -development VMT analysis for each development project with all mitigation measures be prepared for monitoring purpose and for future project threshold s in the area. Additional mitigation measure should be implemented when the post -development VMT analysis discloses any traffic significant impact.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Alan Lin the project coordinator at (213) 269-1124 and refer to GTS # LA-2021-03840-DEIR.

Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
Letter A-2
COMMENTER: Miya Edmonson, LDR/CEQA Branch Chief, California Department of Transportation
DATE: March 16, 2022
Response A-2.1
The commenter provides a description of the Project and states that vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is the primary metric in identifying transportation impacts for all future development projects.

The Project complies with CEQA’s requirements for transportation analyses because VMT was used as the primary metric in identifying the Project’s potential transportation impacts in Section 4.11, Transportation, of the Draft EIR.

Response A-2.2
The commenter states that the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) supports the implementation of complete streets and pedestrian safety measures and that the EIR should ensure all modes of travel are served well by planning and development activities.

Caltrans’ support for implementation of complete streets and pedestrian safety measures is noted.

As discussed under Impact TRA-3 in Section 4.11, Transportation, of the Draft EIR, reasonably foreseeable development accommodated under the Housing Element Update would be reviewed by the appropriate City staff to ensure consistency with all applicable City and State design standards, including standards for project access points, location, and design, sight lines, roadway modifications, and provisions for bicycle and pedestrian transportation connections.

Response A-2.3
The commenter encourages the City to evaluate the potential of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications in order to better manage the transportation network, as well as transit service and bicycle or pedestrian connectivity improvements.

As discussed in Section 4.11, Transportation, of the Draft EIR, the City of Burbank has an ITS that allows the monitoring and control of traffic signals from a central operations center. City staff can manually adjust traffic signals remotely from the central operations center to respond to collisions, weather, special events, and other major incidents. The City’s ITS is interconnected with the Los Angeles County traffic signal Information Exchange Network and shares information with Los Angeles City and County, and the cities of Glendale and Pasadena. In addition, traffic signal timing is also coordinated with Caltrans.

The Draft EIR discusses potential TDM strategies in Section 4.11, Transportation, to address the VMT per employee and VMT per service population impacts but concludes that enacting TDM measures at an employer location or to address service population impacts is generally beyond the scope of the Housing Element. Therefore, it is infeasible to mitigate the VMT per employee and VMT per service population impacts. However, as each individual project is processed through the entitlement process, VMT impacts will be addressed and mitigated where feasible. 2-12

Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
Response A-2.4
The commenter encourages the preparation of traffic safety impact analysis for all developments in the CEQA review process.

The comment is noted, but does not raise specific concerns that pertain to the adequacy of the EIR.

The Housing Element is a land use plan and as such does not grant entitlement for any specific project or future development. All development projects under the CEQA review process would be required to assess the project’s impacts on transportation, including whether the project would conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities; conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b); or substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature or incompatible use. The Draft EIR also discusses both bicycle and pedestrian safety at a citywide level from a plan/policy consistency perspective.

Response A-2.5
The commenter replicates the information provided in the Draft EIR on page 4.11-16, acknowledging that the information provided in the Draft EIR is correct.

The comment is noted. No further response is required.

Response A-2.6
The commenter recommends preparation of a post-development VMT analysis for each individual development project within the Plan Area that includes mitigation measures to reduce any significant traffic impacts.

Implementation of the requirement to conduct a post development VMT analysis for each development project in the Housing Element plan area (which is the entire City) is beyond the scope of the EIR, is not a requirement of CEQA, and is not currently required as a process that has been adopted by the City of Burbank. Requiring a post development VMT analysis as described in the comment would be unduly burdensome to housing developers and the City of Burbank, and could add an additional impediment to housing production. Projects requiring subsequent environmental analysis where that analysis identifies a VMT impact, and proposes VMT mitigation measures, would be required by the City to adhere to a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to ensure that when mitigation measures are implemented, they can demonstrate the ability to reduce the project’s VMT impact to less than significant.

Subject: Burbank Housing Element Update and Associated General Plan Updates , Draft Environmental Impact Report, SCH #2021020393, City of Burbank, Los Angeles County

Dear Mr. Rajesh:

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) from the City of Burbank (City; Lead Agency) for the Burbank Housing Element Update and Associated General Plan Updates (Project). Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding those activities involved in the Project that may affect California fish and wildlife. Likewise, we appreciate the opportunity to provide comments regarding those aspects of the Project that CDFW, by law, may be required to carry out or approve through the exercise of its own regulatory authority under the Fish and Game Code.

CDFW’s Role

CDFW is California’s Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources and holds those resources in trust by statute for all the people of the State [Fish & G. Code, §§ 711.7, subdivision (a) & 1802; Pub. Resources Code, § 21070; California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, § 15386, subdivision (a)]. CDFW, in its trustee capacity, has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species (Id., § 1802). Similarly, for purposes of CEQA, CDFW is charged by law to provide, as available, biological expertise during public agency environmental review efforts, focusing specifically on projects and related activities that have the potential to adversely affect State fish and wildlife resources.

CDFW is also submitting comments as a Responsible Agency under CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21069; CEQA Guidelines, § 15381). CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code, including lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority (Fish & G. Code, § 1600 et seq.). Likewise, to the extent implementation of the Project as proposed may result in “take”, as defined by State law, of any species protected under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) (Fish & G. Code, § 2050 et seq.), or CESA-listed rare plant pursuant to the Native Plant Protection Act (NPPA; Letter A-3

Fish & G. Code, § 1900 et seq.), CDFW recommends the Project proponent obtain appropriate authorization under the Fish and Game Code.

Project Description and Summary

Objective: The Project proposes an update to the Housing Element outlined in the City of Burbank 2035 General Plan for the 2021-2029 planning period. The HEU sets reasonable goals, objectives, policies, and programs to achieve future housing needs for the City. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation for the City identified a housing need of 8,772 units. The 8,772 units allocated to the City will be divided into the following categories: 2,553 very low-income units; 1,418 low- income units; 1,409 moderate-income units; and 3,392 above moderate-income units. The City intends to utilize entitled projects, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and committed assistance to accommodate the RHNA allocation. The City also intends to adopt the Downtown Transit- Oriented Development Specific Plan and the Golden State Specific Plan to achieve the RHNA allocation. Within these two specific plan projects, there are 19 specified housing opportunity sites that can accommodate approximately 2,442 units. In addition to the housing element update, the City proposes minor updates to the Safety and Mobility Elements. The City of Burbank 2035 General Plan will also be updated to incorporate environmental justice policies required by State law. Lastly, there is no physical development, construction, or other ground disturbance activity proposed in the HEU. Adoption of the HEU does not approve any future housing developments.

Location: The Project site encompasses the entire City of Burbank, which stretches 17.1 square miles throughout the central portion of Los Angeles County. The City is bounded by the Verdugo Mountains to the northeast, the City of Glendale to the southeast, and the City of Los Angeles to the south and west. The City is bisected by the Interstate 5 Freeway and the Metrolink Commuter Rail.

Comments and Recommendations

CDFW offers the comments and recommendations below to assist the City in adequately avoiding and/or mitigating the Project’s impacts on fish and wildlife (biological) resources.

CDFW recommends the measures or revisions below be included in a science-based monitoring program that contains adaptive management strategies as part of the Project’s CEQA mitigation, monitoring and reporting program (Pub. Resources Code, § 21081.6; CEQA Guidelines, § 15097).

Specific Comments

Comment #1: Impacts on least Bell’s vireo

Issue: The Project may impact least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), an Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed and CESA-listed species. The DEIR does not provide discussion or avoidance measures to reduce impacts to least Bell’s vireo within the Project site.

Specific Impacts: Future housing development during least Bell’s vireo breeding and nesting season could result in nest abandonment, reproductive suppression, or incidental loss of fertile eggs or nestlings.

Why impacts would occur: Least Bell’s vireo habitat requirements include dense shrubs, small trees, and a water source such as a river or stream. There are various locations throughout the Project site that may provide potential habitat for this species. Additionally, the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) has recorded observations of least Bell’s vireo within the Project site (CDFW 2022a). Future housing development could result in temporary or long-term loss of suitable nesting and foraging habitat. Future construction activities could create elevated levels of noise, human activity, dust, and ground vibrations. These disturbances and stressors occurring near potential nests could cause least Bell’s vireos to abandon their nests, resulting in the loss of fertile eggs or nestlings. Removal of trees and shrubs within a future project site may also result in direct loss of breeding habitat for least Bell’s vireo.

Evidence impact would be significant: There are only a few populations and breeding pairs of least Bell’s vireo remaining in Los Angeles County. Project construction and activities resulting in loss of breeding pairs or nestlings or habitat supporting least Bell’s vireo may result in the Project potentially causing a wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels; threaten to eliminate an animal community; or substantially reduce the number of restrict the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species (CEQA Guidelines, § 15065). Accordingly, impacts on least Bell’s vireo may require a mandatory finding of significance (CEQA Guidelines, § 15065).

CDFW considers adverse impacts to a species protected by CESA to be significant without mitigation under CEQA. Inadequate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures for impacts on the least Bell’s vireo will result in the Project continuing to have a substantial adverse direct, indirect, and cumulative effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on a wildlife species identified as special status by CDFW and USFWS.

As to CESA, take of any endangered, threatened, candidate species that results from the Project is prohibited, except as authorized by State law (Fish & G. Code, §§ 86, 2062, 2067, 2068, 2080, 2085; Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 786.9). Take under ESA also includes significant habitat modification or degradation that could result in death or injury to a listed species by interfering with essential behavioral patterns such as breeding, foraging, or nesting.

Recommended Potentially Feasible Mitigation Measure(s)

Recommendation #1: If future housing developments will impact least Bell’s vireo, early consultation with CDFW is encouraged, as significant modification to a project and mitigation measures may be required to obtain a CESA Permit. Appropriate authorization from CDFW may include an Incidental Take Permit or a Consistency Determination in certain circumstances, among other options [Fish & G. Code, §§ 2080.1, 2081, subds. (b) and (c)].

Recommendation #2: Take under the ESA also includes significant habitat modification or degradation that could result in death or injury to a listed species by interfering with essential behavioral patterns such as breeding, foraging, or nesting. CDFW recommends consultation with the USFWS, in order to comply with ESA, well in advance of any ground-disturbing activities and/or vegetation removal that may impact least Bell’s vireo.

Mitigation Measure #1: CDFW recommends the DEIR include a measure whereby future housing development sites that may provide potential habitat conduct least Bell’s vireo surveys to determine presence/absence. Future project proponents should retain a qualified biologist to 4 cont.

conduct protocol surveys for least Bell’s vireo. The qualified biologist should conduct surveys according to USFWS Least Bell’s Vireo Survey Guidelines (USFWS 2001). All potential least Bell’s vireo habitat should be surveyed at least eight times during the period from April 10 through July 31. CDFW recommends CDFW and USFWS should be notified of survey findings, including negative findings, within 45 calendar days following the completion of protocol-level surveys.

Mitigation Measure #2: CDFW recommends all future housing developments avoid any construction activity during nesting season. If not feasible, CDFW recommends that if future housing development occurs between January 1 through September 15, a nesting bird and raptor survey should be conducted within a 500-foot radius of the construction site, prior to any ground-disturbing activities (e.g., staging, mobilization, grading) as well as prior to any vegetation removal within the project site. The nesting bird surveys should be conducted at appropriate nesting times and concentrate on potential roosting or perch sites. CDFW recommends the DEIR require future housing project proponents to retain a qualified biologist to conduct surveys no more than 7 days prior to the beginning of any project-related activity likely to impact raptors and migratory songbirds, for the entire project site. If project activities are delayed or suspended for more than 7 days during the breeding season, repeat the surveys.

If nesting raptors and migratory songbirds are identified, CDFW recommends the following minimum no-disturbance buffers be implemented: 300 feet around active passerine (perching birds and songbirds) nests, 500 feet around active non-listed raptor nests and 0.5 mile around active listed bird nests. These buffers should be maintained until the breeding season has ended or until a qualified biologist has determined that the birds have fledged and are no longer reliant upon the nest or parental care for survival.

It should be noted that the temporary halt of project activities within nesting buffers during nesting season does not constitute effective mitigation for the purposes of offsetting project impacts associated with habitat loss. Additional mitigation would be necessary to compensate for the removal of nesting habitat within the project site based on acreage of impact and vegetation composition. Mitigation ratios should increase with the occurrence of a SSC and should further increase with the occurrence of a CESA-listed species.

Comment #2: Impacts on Bats

Issue: The Project could impact bat species, including pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus), big free tailed bat (Nyctinomops macrotis), and hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), which are designated as a Species of Special Concern (SSC). The DEIR does not provide avoidance or mitigation measures to reduce impacts to bat species within the Project site.

Specific impacts: Future housing developments may have direct impacts that involves removal of trees, vegetation, and/or structures. These trees, vegetation, and/or structures may provide roosting habitat and therefore has the potential for the direct loss of bats. Indirect impacts from future housing developments may result from increased noise disturbances, human activity, dust, ground disturbing activities (e.g., staging, access, grading, excavating, drilling), and vibrations caused by heavy equipment.

Why impact would occur: According to CNDDB, all three bat species have been historically observed within and adjacent to the Project site (CDFW 2022a). Additionally, a bat observation within the Project site was recorded through iNaturalist (iNaturalist 2019). The DEIR does not

provide biological surveys associated with the presence/absence of bat species within the Project site. Without focused surveys for bat detection, future housing development facilitated by the HEU may impact unidentified bat species within the Project site. In urbanized areas, bats use trees and man-made structures for daytime and nighttime roosts (Avila-Flores and Fenton 2005; Oprea et al. 2009; Remington and Cooper 2014). Trees and crevices in buildings in and adjacent to the Project site could provide roosting habitat for bats. Bats can fit into very small seams, as small as a ¼ inch. Modifications to roost sites can have significant impacts on the bats’ usability of the roost and can impact the bats’ fitness and survivability (Johnston et al. 2004). Extra noise, vibration, or the reconfiguration of large objects can lead to the disturbance of roosting bats which may have a negative impact on the animals. Human disturbance can also lead to a change in humidity, temperatures, or the approach to a roost that could force the animals to change their mode of egress and/or ingress to a roost. Although temporary, such disturbance can lead to the abandonment of a maternity roost (Johnston et al. 2004).

Evidence impact would be significant: Bats are considered non-game mammals and are afforded protection by State law from take and/or harassment (Fish & G. Code, § 4150; Cal.

Code of Regs, § 251.1). Additionally, several bat species are considered Species of Special Concern and meet the CEQA definition of rare, threatened, or endangered species (CEQA Guidelines, § 15380). Take of SSC could require a mandatory finding of significance by the Lead Agency (CEQA Guidelines, § 15065).

Recommended Potentially Feasible Mitigation Measure(s):

Mitigation Measure #3: For any future housing development that may occur near potential bat roosting habitat, CDFW recommends the DEIR require a qualified bat specialist to conduct bat surveys within these areas (plus a 100-foot buffer as access allows). These surveys should identify potential habitat that could provide daytime and/or nighttime roost sites, and any maternity roosts. CDFW recommends using acoustic recognition technology to maximize detection of bats. A discussion of survey results, including negative findings should be provided to the City. Depending on the survey results, a qualified bat specialist should discuss potentially significant effects of the project on bats and include species specific mitigation measures to reduce impacts to below a level of significance (CEQA Guidelines, § 15125). Surveys, reporting, and preparation of robust mitigation measures by a qualified bat specialist should be completed and submitted to the City prior to any project-related ground-disturbing activities or vegetation removal at or near locations of roosting habitat for bats.

Mitigation Measure #4: CDFW recommends the City include the following tree removal process as measure in the DEIR for future housing developments. “If bats are not detected, but the bat specialist determines that roosting bats may be present, trees should be pushed down using heavy machinery rather than felling with a chainsaw. To ensure the optimum warning for any roosting bats that may still be present, trees should be pushed lightly two or three times, with a pause of approximately 30 seconds between each nudge to allow bats to become active.

The tree should then be pushed to the ground slowly and remain in place until it is inspected by a bat specialist. Trees that are known to be bat roosts should not be bucked or mulched immediately. A period of at least 24 hours, and preferable 48 hours, should elapse prior to such operations to allow bats to escape.”
Mitigation Measure #5: CDFW also recommends the City include the following maternity roost measure in the event that maternity roosts are found during surveys for future housing 5 cont.

developments. “If maternity roosts are found, work should be scheduled between October 1 and February 28, outside of the maternity roosting season when young bats are present but are ready to fly out of the roost (March 1 to September 30). If tree removal occurs during maternity season, trees identified as potentially supporting an active maternity roost shall be closely inspected by the bat specialist. Inspection of each tree should be no more than 7 days prior to tree disturbance to determine the presence or absence of roosting bats more precisely. Trees determined to be maternity roosts shall be left in place until the end of the maternity season.

Work shall not occur within 100 feet of or directly under or adjacent to an active roost and work shall not occur between 30 minutes before sunset and 30 minutes after sunrise.” Comment #3: Impact to Monarch Butterfly

Issue: The Project may impact monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) and monarch butterfly overwintering habitat.

Specific impacts: Future housing developments may result in direct impact to monarch butterflies through vegetation removal and tree trimming. Permanent or temporary impacts to overwintering habitat could result in local population decline or local extirpation of monarch butterflies.

Why impact would occur: According to iNaturalist, there are 65 observations of monarch butterflies within the City of Burbank (iNaturalist 2022). In addition, there are numerous eucalyptus trees within the Project site that could provide potential habitat for overwintering monarch butterfly. Furthermore, the future housing developments may require trees and other vegetation to be removed or trimmed in order to facilitate building construction. Removing trees during the overwintering period could have direct impacts on monarch butterflies, potentially resulting in injury or mortality; reduced health and vigor; and reduced success during spring and summer migration to breeding sites. Lastly, the DEIR does not discuss or analyze the Project’s potential impacts on monarch butterflies and potential overwintering habitat within the Project site.

Evidence impact would be significant: Monarch numbers have dropped by 99 percent from an estimated four million butterflies just twenty years ago (CDFW 2022b). Given the precipitous decline of monarch butterflies, the monarch butterfly is currently slated to be listed in 2024 under the Endangered Species Act (CDFW 2022c). The monarch butterfly is included on CDFW’s Terrestrial and Vernal Pool Invertebrates of Conservation Priority list and identified as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in California's State Wildlife Action Plan (CDFW 2017; CDFW 2015). Additionally, Fish and Game Code section 1002 prohibits the take or possession of wildlife for scientific research, education, or propagation purposes without a valid Scientific Collection Permit issued by CDFW. This applies to handling monarchs, removing them from the wild, or otherwise taking them for scientific or propagation purposes, including captive rearing.

Fish and Game Code section 1021 directs CDFW to take feasible actions to conserve monarch butterflies and the habitats they depend upon for successful migration. Lastly, Fish and Game Code section 1374 directs the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Rescue Program, administered by the Wildlife Conservation Board, to recover and sustain populations of monarch butterflies.

The monarch butterfly meets the CEQA definition of rare, threatened, or endangered species (CEQA Guidelines, § 15380). Impacts on the monarch butterfly may require a mandatory finding of significance because the Project would have the potential to threaten to eliminate a plant or 5 cont.

animal community and/or substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species (CEQA Guidelines, §15065). The reduction in the number of monarch butterflies, either directly or indirectly through habitat loss, would constitute a significant impact absent appropriate mitigation. Inadequate avoidance and mitigation measures will result in the Project continuing to have a substantial adverse direct and cumulative effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW and/or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).

Recommended Potentially Feasible Mitigation Measure(s):

Recommendation #3: CDFW recommends the following resources for information on management a monarch overwintering habitat/population:

• Western Monarch Butterfly Conservation Plan (WAFWA 2019); • Overwintering Site Management and Protection (Western Monarch Count 2022); • Protecting California’s Butterfly Groves (Xerces Society 2017); • Managing Monarch Habitat in the West (Xerces Society 2021a); • Pollinator-Friendly Native Plant Lists (Xerces Society 2021b); • Monarch Butterfly Nectar Plant Lists for Conservation Plantings (Xerces Society 2018); • Tropical Milkweed (Wheeler 2018); and,
• CDFW’s Monarch Butterfly webpage (CDFW 2022b).

Mitigation Measure #6: CDFW recommends the DEIR require future project proponents to retain a qualified biologist to assess the future housing development sites for monarch presence and overwintering habitat. A qualified biologist should survey any eucalyptus groves and other trees within the project site that are suitable for overwintering monarchs. A qualified biologist should conduct multiple surveys for overwintering monarchs where potential overwintering habitat has been identified. Monitoring should be done as frequently as possible during the overwintering season (typically September 15 through March 11) to capture changing distributions through the season and in response to storm events.

Mitigation Measure #7: If future housing development sites support an overwintering habitat/population of monarchs, CDFW recommends the DEIR require future project proponents to protect, manage, enhance, and restore potential overwintering habitat. The City should require future project proponents to prepare a long-term Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Habitat Management Plan in consultation with a qualified biologist. A Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Habitat Management Plan should be submitted to the City. At a minimum, the Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Habitat Management Plan should include:

• Protect: Trees should not be removed in overwintering groves unless a tree poses a safety risk. The critical root zone (CRZ) of trees that are not targeted for removal should be protected. Impacts to a tree’s CRZ could result in injury or mortality of the tree causing additional loss of trees and canopy. Shrubs should not be removed in overwintering groves. Shrubs should be maintained to provide a buffer to preserve the microclimate conditions of the overwinter habitat.
• Manage: Management activities, such as tree trimming and mowing, should be conducted in groves from March 15 through September 15 outside of the estimated 6 cont.

timeframe when monarchs are likely present in the southern California coast. • Enhance: Enhance native, insecticide-free nectar sources by planting fall/winter blooming forbs or shrubs within overwintering groves.
• Restore: Any trees removed as part of the project should be replaced with trees at no less than 2:1. Native insecticide-free trees should be planted such as Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa), Coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens), coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menzesii), Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana), western sycamore (Platanus racemosa), bishop pine (Pinus radiata) and others, as appropriate for location. • Pesticides: Use of pesticides should be avoided, particularly when monarchs may be present. If pesticides are used, applications should be conducted from March 15 through September 15, when possible. Herbicide should not be applied on blooming flowers.

Herbicide should be applied during young plant phases, when plants are more responsive to treatment, and when monarchs and other pollinators are less likely to be on the plants. Whenever possible, targeted application herbicide methods should be used, large-scale broadcast applications should be avoided, and precautions shall be taken to limit off-site movement of herbicides (e.g., drift from wind and discharge from surface water flows). Neonicotinoids or other systemic insecticides, including coated seeds, should not be used any time of the year in monarch habitat due to their ecosystem persistence, systemic nature, and toxicity. Soil fumigants should not be used.

Non-chemical weed control techniques should be used when possible. • Tropical milkweed and pathogens: Non-native tropical milkweed should not be planted in order to minimize the spread of the pathogen Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE), and to encourage natural monarch migration. OE can build up on tropical milkweed because these plants are evergreen, and they do not die back in the winter. OE can be debilitating and/or lethal to monarchs. If possible, tropical milkweed should be removed and replaced with native, insecticide-free nectar plants suitable for the location.

Mitigation Measure #8: If the future housing development sites do not support overwintering habitat, CDFW recommends the DEIR require future project proponents to avoid a and minimize impacts on monarch butterflies by enhancing native, insecticide-free nectar sources; avoid planting additional tropical milkweeds; and avoid using pesticides, insecticides, and soil fumigants.

Additional Recommendations

Data. CEQA requires that information developed in environmental impact reports and negative declarations be incorporated into a database [i.e., California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB)] which may be used to make subsequent or supplemental environmental determinations [Pub. Resources Code, § 21003, subd. (e)]. Accordingly, please report any special status species detected by completing and submitting CNDDB Online Field Survey Form (CDFW 2022d). The City should ensure that the project applicant has submitted data properly, with all data fields applicable filled out, prior to finalizing/adopting the environmental document.

The data entry should also list pending development as a threat and then update this occurrence after impacts have occurred. The project applicant should provide CDFW with confirmation of data submittal.

recommended in this letter. Mitigation measures must be fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other legally binding instruments [(Pub. Resources Code, § 21081.6; CEQA Guidelines, § 15126.4(a)(2)]. As such, CDFW has provided comments and recommendations to assist the City in developing mitigation measures that are (1) consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15126.4; (2) specific; (3) detailed (i.e., responsible party, timing, specific actions, location), and (4) clear for a measure to be fully enforceable and implemented successfully via mitigation monitoring and/or reporting program (Pub. Resources Code, § 21081.6; CEQA Guidelines, § 15097). The City is welcome to coordinate with CDFW to further review and refine the Project’s mitigation measures. Per Public Resources Code section 21081.6(a)(1), CDFW has provided the City with a summary of our suggested mitigation measures and recommendations in the form of an attached Draft Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Plan (MMRP; Attachment A).

Attachment A: Draft Mitigation and Monitoring Reporting Plan

CDFW recommends the following language to be incorporated into a future environmental document for the Project.

Biological Resources (BIO)
Mitigation Measure (MM) or Recommendation (REC) Timing Responsible Party

MM-BIO-1 – Least
Bell’s Vireo Survey
Future housing development sites that may provide potential habitat shall conduct least Bell’s vireo surveys to determine presence/absence. Future project proponents shall retain a qualified biologist to conduct protocol surveys for least Bell’s vireo. The qualified biologist shall conduct surveys according to USFWS Least Bell’s Vireo Survey Guidelines (USFWS 2001).

All potential least Bell’s vireo habitat shall be surveyed at least eight times during the period from April 10 through July 31.

CDFW and USFWS shall be notified of survey findings,
including negative findings, within 45 calendar days following the completion of protocol-level surveys.

MM-BIO-2 –
Nesting Bird
Survey
All future housing developments shall avoid any construction activity during nesting season. If not feasible, future housing development occurs between January 1 through September 15, a nesting bird and raptor survey shall be conducted within a 500-foot radius of the construction site, prior to any ground- disturbing activities (e.g., staging, mobilization, grading) as well as prior to any vegetation removal within the project site. The nesting bird surveys shall be conducted at appropriate nesting times and concentrate on potential roosting or perch sites. The DEIR shall require future housing project proponents to retain a qualified biologist to conduct surveys no more than 7 days prior to the beginning of any project-related activity likely to impact raptors and migratory songbirds, for the entire project site. If project activities are delayed or suspended for more than 7 days

during the breeding season, repeat the surveys. If nesting raptors and migratory songbirds are identified, the following minimum no-disturbance buffers be implemented: 300 feet around active passerine (perching birds and songbirds) nests, 500 feet around active non-listed raptor nests and 0.5 mile around active listed bird nests. These buffers shall be maintained until the breeding season has ended or until a qualified biologist has determined that the birds have fledged and are no longer reliant upon the nest or parental care for survival.

MM-BIO-3 – Bat
Survey
For any future housing development that may occur near
potential bat roosting habitat, the DEIR shall require a qualified bat specialist to conduct bat surveys within these areas (plus a 100-foot buffer as access allows). These surveys shall identify potential habitat that could provide daytime and/or nighttime roost sites, and any maternity roosts. The bat specialist shall use acoustic recognition technology to maximize detection of bats. A discussion of survey results, including negative findings shall be provided to the City. Depending on the survey results, a qualified bat specialist shall discuss potentially significant effects of the project on bats and include species specific mitigation measures to reduce impacts to below a level of significance. Surveys, reporting, and preparation of robust mitigation measures by a qualified bat specialist shall be completed and submitted to the City prior to any project-related ground-disturbing activities or vegetation removal at or near locations of roosting habitat for bats.

MM-BIO-4 – Tree
Removal Process
The City include the following tree removal process as measure in the DEIR for future housing developments. “If bats are not detected, but the bat specialist determines that roosting bats may be present, trees shall be pushed down using heavy
machinery rather than felling with a chainsaw. To ensure the optimum warning for any roosting bats that may still be present, trees shall be pushed lightly two or three times, with a pause of

approximately 30 seconds between each nudge to allow bats to become active. The tree shall then be pushed to the ground slowly and remain in place until it is inspected by a bat specialist. Trees that are known to be bat roosts shall not be bucked or mulched immediately. A period of at least 24 hours, and preferable 48 hours, shall elapse prior to such operations to allow bats to escape.”

MM-BIO-5 – Bat
Maternity Roosts
The City shall include the following maternity roost measure in the event that maternity roosts are found during surveys for future housing development projects. “If maternity roosts are found, work shall be scheduled between October 1 and
February 28, outside of the maternity roosting season when young bats are present but are ready to fly out of the roost (March 1 to September 30). If tree removal occurs during maternity season, trees identified as potentially supporting an active maternity roost shall be closely inspected by the bat specialist. Inspection of each tree shall be no more than 7 days prior to tree disturbance to determine the presence or absence of roosting bats more precisely. Trees determined to be maternity roosts shall be left in place until the end of the maternity season. Work shall not occur within 100 feet of or directly under or adjacent to an active roost and work shall not occur between 30 minutes before sunset and 30 minutes after sunrise.”

MM-BIO-6 –
Monarch Butterfly
Survey
The DEIR shall require future project proponents to retain a qualified biologist to assess the future housing development sites for monarch presence and overwintering habitat. A qualified biologist shall survey any eucalyptus groves and other trees within the project site that are suitable for overwintering monarchs. A qualified biologist shall conduct multiple surveys for overwintering monarchs where potential overwintering habitat has been identified. Monitoring shall be done as frequently as possible during the overwintering season (typically September 15 through March 11) to capture changing

distributions through the season and in response to storm events.

If future housing development sites support an overwintering habitat/population of monarchs, the DEIR shall require future project proponents to protect, manage, enhance, and restore potential overwintering habitat. The City shall require future project proponents to prepare a long-term Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Habitat Management Plan in consultation with a qualified biologist. A Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Habitat Management Plan shall be submitted to the City. At a minimum, the Monarch Butterfly Overwintering Habitat Management Plan shall include:

Habitat
Management Plan
• Protect: Trees shall not be removed in overwintering
groves unless a tree poses a safety risk. The critical root zone (CRZ) of trees that are not targeted for removal
shall be protected. Impacts to a tree’s CRZ could result in injury or mortality of the tree causing additional loss of trees and canopy. Shrubs shall not be removed in
overwintering groves. Shrubs shall be maintained to
provide a buffer to preserve the microclimate conditions of the overwinter habitat.
• Manage: Management activities, such as tree trimming
and mowing, shall be conducted in groves from March
15 through September 15 outside of the estimated
timeframe when monarchs are likely present in the
southern California coast.
• Enhance: Enhance native, insecticide-free nectar
sources by planting fall/winter blooming forbs or shrubs within overwintering groves.
• Restore: Any trees removed as part of the project shall be replaced with trees at no less than 2:1. Native
insecticide-free trees shall be planted such as Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), Monterey cypress (Cupressus

coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), Douglas fir
(Pseudotsuga menzesii), Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana),
western sycamore (Platanus racemosa), bishop pine
(Pinus radiata) and others, as appropriate for location. • Pesticides: Use of pesticides shall be avoided,
particularly when monarchs may be present. If
pesticides are used, applications shall be conducted
from March 15 through September 15, when possible.

Herbicide shall not be applied on blooming flowers.

Herbicide shall be applied during young plant phases,
when plants are more responsive to treatment, and
when monarchs and other pollinators are less likely to
be on the plants. Whenever possible, targeted
application herbicide methods shall be used, large-scale broadcast applications shall be avoided, and precautions shall be taken to limit off-site movement of herbicides (e.g., drift from wind and discharge from surface water flows). Neonicotinoids or other systemic insecticides,
including coated seeds, shall not be used any time of the year in monarch habitat due to their ecosystem
persistence, systemic nature, and toxicity. Soil fumigants shall not be used. Non-chemical weed control
techniques shall be used when possible.
• Tropical milkweed and pathogens: Non-native tropical
milkweed shall not be planted in order to minimize the
spread of the pathogen Ophryocystis elektroscirrha
(OE), and to encourage natural monarch migration. OE
can build up on tropical milkweed because these plants
are evergreen, and they do not die back in the winter.

OE can be debilitating and/or lethal to monarchs. If
possible, tropical milkweed shall be removed and
replaced with native, insecticide-free nectar plants
suitable for the location.

Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
Letter A-3
COMMENTER: Erinn Wilson-Olgin, Environmental Program Manager I – South Coast Region, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)
DATE: March 18, 2022
Response A-3.1
CDFW thanked the City for the opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding those activities involved in the project that may affect fish and wildlife and actions for which they may have regulatory authority.

This comment does not address a deficiency in the Draft EIR. This comment has been noted but no response is necessary.

Response A-3.2
The comment provides an overview of CDFW and its roles as trustee agency and responsible agency under CEQA.

This comment indicates that the CDFW expects that it may need to exercise regulatory authority as provided by the Fish and Game Code, including Section 1600 et. seq. (lake and streambed alteration regulatory authority), Section 2050 et. seq. (“take” of species protected under the California Endangered Species Act [CESA]), and Section 1900 et. seq. (CESA-listed rare plants pursuant to the Native Plant Protection Act). The comment recommends that the Project proponent obtain appropriate authorization under the Fish and Game Code.

The comments and recommendations for species protected under CESA have been incorporated as stated in Response A-3.3, below, and in the Biological Resources section of the Recirculated Draft EIR. With the modification to Mitigation Measure BIO-1, we do not anticipate “take” or need for a lake and streambed alteration agreement for development under the Housing Element Update.

Response A-3.3
The comment provides a summary of the proposed project and summarizes recommendations to assist the City in adequately identifying, avoiding, and/or mitigating the Project’s significant, or potentially significant, direct and indirect impacts on fish and wildlife resources. In addition, the comment suggests recommended measures or revisions in later comments be included in a science- based monitoring program that contains adaptive management strategies as part of the project’s Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).

Individual responses regarding the CDFW’s concerns on environmental impacts are addressed below in Responses A-3.4 through A-3.10. A MMRP will be published with the Final EIR to assist the City in implementing the mitigation stipulated in the EIR and as reflected in the Recirculated Draft EIR. No revisions are necessary relative to this comment.

Response A-3.4
The comment suggests that the Project may result in adverse impacts to least Bell’s vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus), a federally and State-listed Endangered species, by causing nest abandonment, reproductive suppression, or incidental loss of fertile eggs or nestlings. 2-32

City of Burbank
Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
On April 20, 2022, City staff had a call with CDFW staff to discuss the March 18, 2022 comment letter. Based on the discussion, the following revisions have been made to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of the Draft EIR, which has been included in the Recirculated Draft EIR that was released for a 47-day public review period on July 22, 2022.

The revisions to Mitigation Measure BIO-1 addresses CDFW’s concerns regarding potential impacts to least Bell’s vireo, bat species, or monarch butterflies. Related edits to the biological resources analysis are also shown in the Recirculated Draft EIR.

BIO-1 Biological Resources Avoidance
For individual housing developments that will include disturbance of vegetation, trees, structures, or other areas where biological resources could be present, a qualified biologist shall be retained by the applicant to conduct an initial site assessment that will include review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and iNaturalist maps to determine where sightings have occurred or habitats for the least Bell’s vireo, bat species, or monarch butterflies have previously been identified.

If construction activities or other disturbances occur in areas within 500 feet of a previously identified habitat or observation according to CNDDB or iNaturalist, the following measures shall be implemented:
 Prior to the issuance of a grading permit, a qualified biologist shall be retained by the project applicant to conduct a biological resources reconnaissance of the site. The qualified biologist shall thoroughly report on the biological resources present on a project site and submitted to the City.
 If the biologist determines that special-status species may occur, focused surveys for special-status plants shall be completed in accordance with Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Sensitive Natural Communities (California Department of Fish and Wildlife [CDFW], March 20, 2018) and Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants (USFWS, September 23, 1996). If it is determined that the project site has suitable habitat for special-status wildlife, focused surveys shall be conducted to determined presence/absence including species-specific surveys in accordance with CDFW or United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) protocols for State or federally listed species, respectively, that may occur.  If it is determined that a special-status species may be impacted by a specific project, consultation with USFWS and/or CDFW shall occur prior to issuance of a development permit from the City to determine measures to address impacts, such as avoidance, minimization, or take authorization and mitigation. The report shall include a list of special- status plants and wildlife that may occur on the project site and/or adjacent area.

If construction activities or other disturbances occur during the bird nesting season (February 1 through August 31), prior to issuance of grading permits for individual housing developments that will include disturbance of vegetation, structures, or other areas where bird nests could be present, the following requirements shall be implemented:
 Applicant shall submit a pre-construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted no more than seven days prior to initiation of grading or construction activities. The nesting bird pre- construction survey shall be conducted on foot on the construction site, including a 100-foot buffer, and in inaccessible areas (e.g., private lands) from afar using binoculars to the extent practical. The survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist familiar with the 2-33
ATTACHMENT 12-48
City of Burbank
Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
identification of avian species known to occur in southern California and a copy of the study shall be submitted to the Community Development Department and Building and Safety Division. The cost to hire a qualified biologist shall be borne entirely by the developer/project applicant.
 If nests are found, an avoidance buffer shall be demarcated by a qualified biologist with bright orange construction fencing, flagging, construction lathe, or other means to mark the boundary. All construction personnel shall be notified as to the existence of the buffer zone and to avoid entering the buffer zone during the nesting season. No parking, storage of materials, or construction activities shall occur within this buffer until the biologist has confirmed that breeding/nesting is completed, and the young have fledged the nest.

Encroachment into the buffer shall occur only at the discretion of the qualified biologist.  A survey report shall be prepared by the qualified biologist documenting and verifying compliance with the above requirements and applicable State and Federal regulations protecting birds that shall be submitted to the City of Burbank. The qualified biologist shall serve as a construction monitor during those periods when construction activities would occur near active nest areas to ensure that no inadvertent impacts on these nests would occur.

https://www.burbankhousingelement.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Burbank-Housing-and- Safety-Element-Update-Recirculated-DEIR.pdf
Response A-3.5
The comment states that the Project may result in impacts to bat species, such as pallid bat (Antrozous pallidus), big free tailed bat (Nyctinomops macrotis), and hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), which are designated as Species of Special Concern (SSC). The Draft EIR does not provide avoidance or mitigation measures to reduce impacts to bat species within the Project site. The comment suggests that the Project may result in direct impacts to bat species, including removal of trees, vegetation, and/or structures that provide roosting habitat, and therefore has the potential for the direct loss of bats. The comment also suggests that indirect impacts from future housing developments may result from increased noise disturbances, human activity, dust, ground disturbing activities, and vibrations caused by heavy equipment.

The comment states that bats are considered non-game mammals and are afforded protection by State law from take and/or harassment (Fish and Game Code Section 4150; California Code of Regulations Section 251.1). In addition, the comment noted that several bat species known to occur within the Project vicinity are considered SSC and take would be considered a significant impact.

The revisions to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of
the Draft EIR address CDFW’s concerns
regarding potential impacts to least bat species. Refer to Response A-3.4.

Response A-3.6
The comment states that the Project may result in impacts to monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) and monarch butterfly overwintering habitat through vegetation removal and tree trimming associated with future housing development. The agency states that there are 65 observations of monarch butterflies within the city recorded in iNaturalist and that there are numerous eucalyptus trees within the Project site that potentially provide overwintering habitat for the species. If eucalyptus trees are removed during the overwintering period, direct impacts such as 2-34
ATTACHMENT 12-49
City of Burbank
Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
injury or mortality, reduced health and vigor, and reduced success during spring and summer migration may occur. The comment states that the Draft EIR does not provide avoidance or mitigation measures to reduce impacts to the monarch butterfly within the Project site.

The comment states that monarch butterflies are a federal candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act, is included on CDFW’s Terrestrial and Vernal Pool Invertebrates of Conservation Priority list, and identified as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in California’s State Wildlife Action Plan. In addition, Fish and Game Code Section 1002 prohibits the take or possession of wildlife without a valid Scientific Collection Permit issued by CDFW, which applied to handling monarchs, removing them from the wild, or otherwise taking them for scientific or propagation purposes. Lastly, the comment states that Fish and Game Code Section 1374 directs the Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Rescue Program to recover and sustain populations of monarch butterflies. The comment states that impacts to the monarch butterfly may require a mandatory finding of significance because the Project would potentially directly or indirectly reduce the number of monarch butterflies through habitat loss. The comment includes recommendations that the Draft EIR require future project proponents to avoid and minimize impacts to monarch butterflies by enhancing native, insecticide-free nectar sources, avoid planting additional tropical milkweeds, and avoid using pesticides, insecticides, and soils fumigants.

The revisions to Section 4.2, Biological Resources, of
the Draft EIR address CDFW’s concerns
regarding potential impacts to monarch butterflies. Refer to Response A-3.4.

Response A-3.7
The comment requests that all occurrences of special status species on the project site be documented via the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) Field Survey Forms and that the Final EIR include measures where lead agencies of individual projects tiering from the Final EIR report any special status species detected during preparation of project-level environmental impact analyses/environmental documents.

Dear Shipra Rajesh:

Notice of Availability of a
Draft Environmental Impact Report for the City of Burbank Housing & Safety Element Update

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) reviewed the Notice of Availability of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the City of Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update (Project) and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). The City of Burbank is acting as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Project proposes to update the Housing Element of the Burbank2035 General Plan. In addition, the project will include minor updates to the Safety, Land Use, Open Space and Conservation, Air Quality and Climate Change, Noise, and Mobility Elements, as well as incorporate environmental justice policies into the Burbank2035 General Plan, per State law. This letter contains Metropolitan’s response to the public notice as a potentially affected public agency.

Metropolitan is a public agency and regional water wholesaler. It is comprised of 26 member public agencies, serving approximately 19 million people in portions of six counties in Southern California. Metropolitan’s mission is to provide its 5,200 square mile service area with adequate and reliable supplies of high-quality water to meet present and future needs in an environmentally and economically responsible way.

Our review of the DEIR indicates that Metropolitan owns and operates the Santa Monica Feeder and East Valley Feeder pipelines and appurtenant facilities in the project area. The aforementioned pipelines deliver treated water to Metropolitan Member Agencies. Metropolitan is concerned with potential impacts to pipelines and appurtenant facilities, and potential for obstructed access that may result from implementation of the proposed Project. The enclosed map shows Metropolitan facilities in relation to the Project. It will be necessary for the City to consider these facilities in its project planning.

Metropolitan must be allowed to maintain its rights-of-way and requires unobstructed access to its facilities in order to maintain and repair its system. In order to avoid potential conflicts with Metropolitan’s facilities and rights-of-way, we require that any design plans for any activity in the area of Metropolitan’s pipelines or facilities be submitted for our review and written approval. Metropolitan will not permit procedures that could subject the pipeline to excessive vehicle, impact or vibratory loads. Any future design plans associated with this project should be submitted to Metropolitan’s Substructures Team. Approval of the project should be contingent on Metropolitan’s approval of design plans for portions of the proposed project that could impact its facilities.

Detailed prints of drawings of Metropolitan’s pipelines and rights-of-way may be obtained by calling Metropolitan’s Substructures Information Line at (213) 217-7663 or via email at [email protected]. To assist the applicant in preparing plans that are compatible with Metropolitan’s facilities and easements, attached are the “Guidelines for Improvements and Construction Projects Proposed in the Area of Metropolitan’s Facilities and Rights-of-Way.” Please note that all submitted designs or plans must clearly identify Metropolitan’s facilities and rights-of-way.

Additionally, Metropolitan encourages projects within its service area to include water conservation measures. Water conservation, reclaimed water use, and groundwater recharge programs are integral components to regional water supply planning. Metropolitan supports mitigation measures such as using water efficient fixtures, drought-tolerant landscaping, and reclaimed water to offset any increase in water use associated with the proposed project.

We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to your planning process and we look forward to receiving future documentation and plans for this project. For furthe r assistance, please contact Ms. Jolene Ditmar at (213) 217-6184 or [email protected].

7.0 Drainage

7.1 Drainage Changes Affecting Metropolitan Rights-of-Way Changes to existing drainage that could affect Metropolitan’s rights -of-way require Metropolitan’s approval. The project proponent must provide acceptable solutions to ensure Metropolitan’s rights -of-way are not negatively affected by changes in the drainage conditions. Plans showing the changes, with a copy of a supporting hydrology report and hydraulic calculations, must be submitted to Metropolitan for review and approval. Long term maintenance of any proposed drainage facilities must be the responsibility of the project proponent, City, County, homeowner’s association, etc., with a clear understanding of where this responsibility lies. If drainage must be discharged across Metropolitan’s rights-of-way, it must be carried across by closed conduit or lined open channel and must be shown on the plans.

7.2 Metropolitan’s Blowoff and Pumpwell Structures
Any changes to the existing local watercourse systems will need to be designed to accommodate Metropolitan’s blowoff and pumpwell structures, which periodically convey discharged water from Metropolitan’s blowoff and pumping well structures during pipeline dewatering. The project proponents’ plans should include details of how these discharges are accommodated within the proposed development and must be submitted to Metropolitan for review and approval. Any blowoff discharge lines impacted must be modified accordingly at the expense of the project proponent.

8.0 Grading and Settlement

8.1 Changes in Cover over Metropolitan Pipelines
The existing cover over Metropolitan’s pipelines must be maintained unless Metropolitan determines that proposed changes in grade and cover do not pose a hazard to the integrity of the pipeline or an impediment to its maintenance capability. Load and settlement or rebound due to change in cover over a Metropolitan pipeline or ground in the area of Metropolitan’s rights-of-way will be factors considered by Metropolitan during project review.

In general, the minimum cover over a Metropolitan pipeline is 4 feet and the maximum cover varies per different pipeline. Any changes to the existing grade may require that Metropolitan’s pipeline be potholed under Metropolitan’s supervision to verify the existing cover.

8.2 Settlement
Any changes to the existing topography in the area of Metropolitan’s pipeline or right -of- way that result in significant settlement or lateral displacement of Metropolitan’s pipelines are not acceptable. Metropolitan may require submittal of a soils report showing the predicted settlement of the pipeline at 10 -foot intervals for review. The data must be carried past the point of zero change in each direction and the actual s ize and varying depth of the fill must be considered when determining the settlement. Possible settlement due to soil collapse, rebound and lateral displacement must also be included. 2-54
ATTACHMENT 12-69
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California IMPROVEMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES Issue Date: July 2018 Page 10 of 22

In general, the typical maximum allowed deflection for Metropolitan’s pipelines must not exceed a deflection of 1/4 -inch for every 100 feet of pipe length. Metropolitan may require additional information per its Geotechnical Guidelines. Please contact Metropolitan’s Substructures Team for a copy of the Geotechnical Guidelines.

SWRCC incorporates by reference all comments raising issues regarding the EIR submitted prior to certification of the EIR for the Project. Citizens for Clean Energy v City of Woodland (2014) 225 Cal. App. 4th 173, 191 (finding that any party who has objected to the Project’s environmental documentation may assert any issue timely raised by other parties).

Moreover, SWRCC requests that the City provide notice for any and all notices referring or related to the Project issued under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Cal Public Resources Code (“PRC”) § 21000 et seq, and the California Planning and Zoning Law (“Planning and Zoning Law”), Cal. Gov’t Code §§ 65000–65010. California Public Resources Code Sections 21092.2, and 21167(f) and Government Code Section 65092 require agencies to mail such notices to any person who has filed a written request for them with the clerk of the agency’s governing body.

The City should require the use of a local skilled and trained workforce to benefit the community’s economic development and environment. The City should require the use of workers who have graduated from a Joint Labor Management apprenticeship training program approved by the State of California, or have at least as many hours of on-the-job experience in the applicable craft which would be required to graduate from such a state approved apprenticeship training program or who are registered apprentices in an apprenticeship training program approved by the State of California.

Community benefits such as local hire and skilled and trained workforce requirements can also be helpful to reduce environmental impacts and improve the positive economic impact of the Project. Local hire provisions requiring that a certain percentage of workers reside within 10 miles or less of the Project Site can reduce the length of vendor trips, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing localized economic benefits. Local hire provisions requiring that a certain percentage of workers reside within 10 miles or less of the Project Site can reduce the length of vendor trips, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing localized economic benefits. As environmental consultants Matt Hagemann and Paul E. Rosenfeld note:
[A]ny local hire requirement that results in a decreased worker trip length from the default value has the potential to result in a reduction of construction-related GHG emissions, though the significance of the 1 cont.

March 8, 2021 SWAPE Letter to Mitchell M. Tsai re Local Hire Requirements and Considerations for Greenhouse Gas Modeling.

Skilled and trained workforce requirements promote the development of skilled trades that yield sustainable economic development. As the California Workforce Development Board and the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education concluded:
. . . labor should be considered an investment rather than a cost – and investments in growing, diversifying, and upskilling California’s workforce can positively affect returns on climate mitigation efforts. In other words, well trained workers are key to delivering emissions reductions and moving California closer to its climate targets.
1 Loca
l skilled and trained workforce requirements and policies have significant environmental benefits since they improve an area’s jobs-housing balance, decreasing the amount of and length of job commutes and their associated greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, on May 7, 2021, the South Coast Air Quality Management District found that that the “[u]se of a local state-certified apprenticeship program or a skilled and trained workforce with a local hire component” can result in air pollutant reductions.
2 Cities
are increasingly adopting local skilled and trained workforce policies and requirements into general plans and municipal codes. For example, the City of Hayward 2040 General Plan requires the City to “promote local hiring . . . to help

achieve a
more positive jobs-housing balance, and reduce regional commuting, gas consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.”3
In fact
, the City of Hayward has gone as far as to adopt a Skilled Labor Force policy into its Downtown Specific Plan and municipal code, requiring developments in its Downtown area to requiring that the City “[c]ontribute to the stabilization of regional construction markets by spurring applicants of housing and nonresidential developments to require contractors to utilize apprentices from state-approved, joint labor-management training programs, . . .”
4 In addi
tion, the City of Hayward requires
all projects 30,000 square feet or larger to “utilize apprentices from state-approved, joint labor-management training programs.”5
Locat
ing jobs closer to residential areas can have significant environmental benefits. .

As the California Planning Roundtable noted in 2008:

People who live and work in the same jurisdiction would be more likely to take transit, walk, or bicycle to work than residents of less balanced communities and their vehicle trips would be shorter. Benefits would include potential reductions in both vehicle miles traveled and vehicle hours traveled.
6 In ad
dition, local hire mandates as well as skill training are critical facets of a strategy to reduce vehicle miles traveled. As planning experts Robert Cervero and Michael Duncan noted, simply placing jobs near housing stock is insufficient to achieve VMT reductions since the skill requirements of available local jobs must be matched to those held by local residents.

municipalities have tied local hire and skilled and

train
ed workforce policies to local development permits to address transportation issues. As Cervero and Duncan note:

In nearly built -out Berkeley, CA, the approach to balancing jobs and housing is to create local jobs rather than to develop new housing.” The city’s First Source program encourages businesses to hire local residents, especially for entry- and intermediate-level jobs, and sponsors vocational training to ensure residents are employment -ready. While the program is voluntary, some 300 businesses have used it to date, placing more than 3,000 city residents in local jobs since it was launched in 1986. When needed, these carrots are matched by sticks, since the city is not shy about negotiating corporate participatio n in First Source as a condition of approval for development permits.

The City should consider utilizing skilled and trained workforce policies and requirements to benefit the local area economically and mitigate greenhouse gas, air quality and transportation impacts.

Burbank Housing and Safety Element Update Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR

Final Environmental Impact Report
Letter O-1
COMMENTER: Mitchell M. Tsai, Attorney, on behalf of Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters (SWRCC)
DATE: March 14, 2022
Response O-1.1
The commenter offers an introduction to the labor union that is submitting the comment and notes the legal precedents for commenting on an EIR under CEQA during the approval process. The commenter requests that the City of Burbank send all notices referring or related to the Project to SWRCC.

SWRCC has been added to the Project mailing list. Individual responses to each comment are provided below.

Response O-1.2
The commenter states that the City should require the use of a local skilled and trained workforce to benefit the community’s economic development and environment. The commenter provides supporting statements and notes that local hire and skilled and trained workforce requirements would assist with reducing environmental impacts and improving the Project’s economic impact as the length of vendor trips would likely be reduced due to workers residing within 10 miles or less of the project sites, resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as localized economic benefits.

Implementation of the requirement to use a local skilled and trained workforce is beyond the scope of the Draft EIR since labor and employment is not a required topic under CEQA. Nonetheless, the commenter’s recommendations are noted for review and consideration by the City’s decision- makers. In addition, as discussed in Section 4.5, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, of the Draft EIR, the Project’s impacts to GHG emissions would be less than significant because the Housing Element Update would be consistent with measures from the State Scoping Plan and GHG emission would not exceed per capita emissions levels identified in the State Scoping Plan. The Housing Element Update would also be consistent with the goals of the 2020-2045 SCS/RTP and the Burbank2035 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan.

Response O-1.3
The commenter quotes statements from the GHG technical report attached to the letter and notes that skilled and trained workforce requirements and policies have significant environmental benefits as they improve an area’s jobs-housing balance, decreasing the amount of and length of job commutes and their associated GHG emissions.

Refer to Response O-1.2 regarding skilled and trained workforce requirements and policies and associated GHG emissions.

The comment is noted, but does not raise specific concerns that pertain to the adequacy of the Draft EIR. The comment will be provided to the City’s decisionmakers for their consideration. No further response is required.

Response O-1.5
The commenter provides supporting statements and notes that local hire mandates and skill training are critical facets of a strategy to reduce VMT and that placing jobs near housing is insufficient to achieve VMT reductions since the skill requirements of available local jobs must be matched to those held by local residents. The commenter also provides supporting statements and notes that some municipalities have tied local hire and skilled and trained workforce policies to local development permits to address transportation issues.

Associate Planner Rajesh,
Hi, my name is Crisan I am a loc al union carpenter out of Carpenter Local 661. Carpenters Local 661 represents over 5,000 working families in the area which include members that live, work, and make us of the businesses in and around the Burbank area. We would like to see Labor Standards and or policy included in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. In future projects under this plan, the city of Burbank should explicitly incorporate language requiring family supporng w ages, skills training and job access to the community members rather then simply accepng pr ojects founded on low costs and low wages. Speciﬁcally:

The construcon w orkforce should require;
-Full family health plans
-Skilled and trained workforce standards through cerﬁed appr enceship -Paid sick leave. Pension, and vacaon-holi day pay.

High quality responsible bidder standards should be established to ensure high quality construcon perf ormance;
-Construcon c ontractors at every level comply with labor law and have no history of fraudulent or grossly negligent business pracces.
- General Contractors should be required to self perform a Minimum of 5% of all construcon cr a work for which they are responsible.

We believe all Burbank locals deserve an innovav e economic soluon tha t puts them on the path to build be er careers, increase access to family healthcare, and enrich the community at large.

The comment also specifically notes that the construction workforce for future projects should require family health plans, skilled workforce standards, paid sick leave, pension, vacation-holiday pay, and high-quality bidder standards to ensure that contractors comply with labor laws.

The commenters’ requests for changes to the Housing Element Update are noted, but does not raise issues with the adequacy of the analysis or conclusions in the Draft EIR. The Draft EIR is not intended or required to provide justification for the Project. Rather, the EIR is an informational document that is intended to provide public agencies and the public with detailed information about the effect that the Project is likely to have on the environment. This EIR also identifies ways in which the significant effects of the Project might be minimized and identifies alternatives to the Project. The City is not required to consider such comments or requests to change the Project in its CEQA analysis absent a commenter providing substantial evidence that the proposed change would feasibly reduce one or more significant adverse environmental impacts identified in the Draft EIR. Requests for changes to the Project may be addressed through the planning process outside of the CEQA process. 2-223

RE: Comments: 1) Burbank Housing and Safety
Element Update, Draft Environmental Impact Report,
January 22, 2022; 2) 2nd Revised Draft Housing
Element, 2021-2029, November 2021
Thank you very much for the meeting to answer my initial questions about the range of dates that accompany the
data maps and tables contained in the detailed
Appendices of the Draft Housing Element (HE).

My letter here covers both documents, raises questions
about major concerns over the Draft EIR, suggests broad policies and detailed revisions in limited cases.

Since the issuance of the 2020 census data on March 17, it is clear that our City is well balanced with a healthy mix of all people (age, ethnicity, income, and housing, etc.).

Our community is unique in many respects: the availability of good schools employment and access to transit is
clear (Appendices, Exhibits B-12, 13,14). What is less well known is that a signi
ﬁcant number of the city’s
Letter I-1

ATTACHMENT 12-239
neighborhoods are identiﬁed as located in ar
eas with less
positive environmental outcomes (Appendices, Exhibit
B-16, Environmental Opportunities). I was not surprised to see my census tract identiﬁed as a Disadvantaged
Community (Appendices, Exhibit B-17). As a whole,
Burbank is a city with primarily Stable, Moderate Mixed Income neighborhoods (Appendices, Exhibit B-20). The
analyses in the Appendices demonstrate a clear need for populations of extremely low income— both seniors and
families. Anyone who has engaged in city activities
through programs like camper ships, Holiday Baskets and Family Promise know from personal experience that
reality of our residents’ lives include our neighbors.

State pre-emption of local decision-making is a deep
concern for me. This concern is con
ﬁrmed by the
inadequacy of the Draft EIR to serve as a basis for
decision-makers on the Housing and Safety Elements.

COMMENTS TO THE DEIR/ELEMENT
According to the Project Description
, the City’s housing
goal is to ensure that suﬃcient capacity exists in the
Housing Element Update to accommodate the RHNA with
a buﬀer (a total of 10,456 additional housing units)
throughout the eight-year planning period.

The DEIR is amazing and concerning. The data sets are
incongruous. The DEIR contains very diﬀ
erent housing
unit numbers (SCAG, RHNA and DOF) that beg to be
reconciled in a rational manner, for the non-professional 1 cont.

who does not understand the sea of acronyms coming at
them. The Element is built around a State-mandated
housing number, but that con
ﬂicts with forecasts by the
local regional agency. The DEIR housing numbers from
DOF conﬂict with the housing numbers from DOF in the
Housing Element itself.

Nonetheless, here are both comments to the DEIR and
the Element. Hopefully, the Element charts a better path in light of these comments.

Finally, the data for Burbank are derived from very big numbers generated, I understand, by an algorithm(s). An algorithm cannot possibly account for local nuances,
activities, historic gr
owth patterns, infrastructure, its non-
proﬁts etc.

DEIR Comments

1. Unmitigated Impacts, Sewer. This should concern
everyone. The pr
oposed Project, Housing Element, 2nd
Revised Draft causes impacts on the City’s wastewater
treatment capacity that are signiﬁcant and unavoidable:
“…based on the sewer generation rates that were
calculated for the proposed Project, along with
constraints within the City’
s treatment system, potentially
signiﬁcant impacts could result on a project-speciﬁc
bases with no feasible mitigation at the current plan

level. Therefore, impacts would be signi
ﬁcant an
unavoidable.”
Page ES-24
And also:

Wastewater generation for full buildout of the proposed Housing Element Update is estimated to be up to
appr
oximately 6.3 mgd, which is not within the City’s
currently available treatment capacity of 4 mgd.

Therefore, impacts would be, signiﬁcant and unavoidable due to constraints within the sewer system and
development under the proposed Project would
contribute to a cumulatively signiﬁcant impact associated with wastewater generation. Cumulative Impacts 4.12-39
The DEIR identiﬁes an elaborate uncharted approach that Public Works will take over time. But the overall impact is unmistakable.

How will Council to make a Finding of Overriding
Considerations for sewer impacts? What is the beneﬁt
that outweighs this?
What is maximum amount of housing units permitted
before the signiﬁcant and unavoidable sewer impacts ar
e
reached?

How much does the proposed Project need to be
modiﬁ
ed to reduce impacts to less than signiﬁcant?

2. There are signi
ﬁcant inconsistencies between
RHNA, the SCAG (Burbank/regional forecasts), and
existing numbers oﬀered by the State Department of
Finance 2021. The City is required to plan for the RHNA number, but neither SCAG nor DOF oﬀer any kind of data
that would conﬁrm even modest support of the State-
mandated number (as distributed by SCAG).

Here is how it looks:

HCD Requirement by 2029 = 10,456 housing units

(RHNA)
SCAG Forecast by 2030 = 4,650 housing units
(Table 4.8-2)
over the 8-Year proposed Project (2021-2029), the added number of required units above the forecast is:
= 5,806 MORE units
The discrepancies need a full explanation.

A recent State audit has revealed problems with the
RHNA numbers in some districts. Unfortunately, a similar audit has not been conducted over the RHNA number for
4 cont.

the SCAG region. The numbers for Burbank make no
sense.

The City should demand an audit of the SCAG RHNA
numbers before it approves the proposed Pr
oject which
contains signiﬁcant unmitigated impacts, including
sewage.

In plain language, the discrepancies must be explained: if the forecast is for modest growth, why is RHNA 2x
for
ecast?

3. SCAG 2020 estimates fewer residents, jobs and
housing in the region by 2040:
“Based on an evaluation of the 2016 RTP/SCS and the
2020 RTP/SCS demographic projections, the 2020 RTP/
SCS projects fewer residents, jobs, and housing units.

The 2020 RTP/SCS predicts approximately 290,000
fewer residents, 80,000 fewer houses, and 210,000
jobs in the region in 2040 than under the 2016 RTP/SCS, which would represent less activities and associated
emissions than would have been predicted under the
2016 RTP/SCS. Therefore, evaluating again the 2016
RTP/SCS projections would be conservative as the 2016
AQMP assumed greater growth than is currently
anticipated. The impact analysis throughout this EIR uses the demographic data provided in the 2020 RTP/SCS." p.

With the regional forecasts in mind (and the 2020 forecast by SCAG is signi
ﬁcantly less aggressive than SCAG’s
2016 projections), how are these numbers reconciled with the RHNA for Burbank?

4. The residential vacancy rate is 6%. The Department
of Finance (DOF) identiﬁ
es 45,069 housing units in the
city, of which 2,787 are vacant. This is a 6% vacancy rate, considered a “healthy” vacancy rate by HCD. Rather than showing a critical shortage of housing units, the statistics show an appropriate vacancy rate.

1. The disparity among these housing unit numbers
needs to be reconciled (SCAG, RHNA and DOF).

2. If the vacancy rate is already 6% (2% more than
HCD has used in the past as a maximum rate) how is an
increase to 10,456 new housing units in the 6th Cycle
justi
ﬁable?
(FYI, the DOF ﬁgure in the Housing Element is diﬀer
ent:
44,978 Housing Units. Table 1-13)

5. A 15% added housing unit buﬀer raises the total
number of units that the city must accommodate to
10,456. Given all the other numbers (SCAG, RHNA, DOF
— 2 numbers—) what is the justiﬁcation for a further
15%?

ATTACHMENT 12-245
The EIR should study the resulting impacts from an
elimination of the 15%; will that reduce sewer impacts?

1. What statute requires this buﬀ
er?

2. Is it a State mandate?

3. Why is there no discussion in the Alternative
sections about this impact?

4. What is the justiﬁcation for a 15% buﬀer with
advent of SB35, 9 and 10?

6. Greenhouse Gas Emissions/Air Quality. What factors
ar
e being used to quantify reductions in green house gas
emissions for the 6th Cycle Housing Element?
A. Didn’t the Biden Administration re-instate California’s waiver of the CAA and restore its ability to set its own clean air standards? The Chapter currently states:
“However, as a result of the SAFE Vehicles Rule
discussed above, California’s waiver of Clean Air Act
preemption was revoked, thereby rescinding the CARB’s
authority to implement the Advanced Clean Cars
program.” 4.5-6
It would seem the GHG will be reduced more.

B “As of 2019, the City has reduced GHG emission by
28 percent from 2010 baseline emission levels, well-
exceeding the 2020 target in the original GGRP and

approaching the 2035 target established well in advance of the horizon year. T

by SB 32 and EO B-55-18, the Draft GGRP Update
recommends aggressive GHG emissions targets

levels by 2030 (SB 32 target year),
• Reduce GHG emissions to 66 percent below 2010 levels
by 2035 (General Plan horizon year),
