Thank you for the invitation and opportunity to propose our legal advertising services to meet your needs as outlined in the "RFP - Legal Advertisements For FY 2023-2024" that was emailed to [email protected] on June 14th, 2023.

This letter wilt serve as a brief overview of documents being included in our proposal and address some items in the "GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS" emailed to us. The Press Democrat is adjudicated in the County of Sonoma and City of Santa Rosa and meets the legal advertising requirements of area organizations.

Calistoga Business License
Included is our Calistoga Business License application filed July 7, 2023 and confirmation of the fee payment and filing history.

Rates
The base price per inch for The Press Democrat is $51.50 which is the base rate for each insertion. However, we offer discounting based on the size of the advertisement. We've included a pricing grid that indicates the base price, the discount associated for that display ad size, then the net price and net inch rate.

Payment terms
Our standard payment terms are net 30 days after receipt of the invoice which can either be sent via U.S. Mail, emailed, or both.

We've also included our most recent weekly postal report. Our circulation in zip code 94515 is approximately 188 home delivered subscribers. We also upload our legal advertisements to www.capublicnotice.com which is owned and operated by the California News Publishers Association and provides service providers interested in bidding on proposals throughout the state an easy way to see opportunities throughout California. Not all publications in the North Bay do so.

I look forward to providing any additional information needed for The Press Democrat to obtain a vendor status for the City of Calistoga.

Sincerely,

City of Calistoga

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jeff Mitchem, Planning & Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Aug 01 2023
Subject: Municipal Code Amendments Regulating Mobile Food Vending DESCRIPTION:

Consideration of an ordinance amending the Calistoga Municipal Code (CMC) to include new regulations governing Mobile Food Vending (Food Trucks) within the City of Calistoga (City).

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct a Public Hearing and introduce the attached draft Ordinance and waive its first reading.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

On May 16, 2023, City Council conducted a regular meeting providing policy direction for Staff to prepare regulations for mobile vending, or Food Trucks. In response to Council direction, Staff recommend the policy framework outlined below, upon which the attached ordinance (Attachment 1).

Please note City Attorney republished revisions redlined in Attachment 2.

1. Vehicle Requirements
• Mobile food vendors must operate from a licensed Mobile Vending Vehicle designed for food preparation, cooking, and selling.

2. Permitted Products
• Mobile food vendors can sell only food and non-alcoholic beverages for immediate consumption. Selling other products is not allowed.

3. Licenses, Permits & General Regulations
• Owners and Operators of Mobile Food Vehicles must obtain a Business License and Mobile Vending Permit from the City.
• Owners and Operators of Mobile Food Vehicles must obtain all necessary licenses and permits for food service, including a permit from the County Department of Health. • Owners and Operators of Mobile Food Vehicles must comply will all City of Calistoga Municipal codes.
• Compliance with state motor vehicle laws is required.

4. Operating Locations
a. Private Property
• Mobile food vendors can operate in Community Commercial (CC) and Light Industrial (I) zoning districts on private property without time restrictions or limitations on the number of vendors.
b. Public Property
• Mobile food vendors can operate within CC and I zoning districts within the public right-ofway (except fronting parcels with residential occupancy) and on City-owned property at the approval of the Planning & Building Director and Public Works Director.

Item #8.1.

• Mobile food vendors are prohibited from vending in the public right-of-way abutting a parcel with residential occupancy.
• Mobile food vendors are prohibited on State Highways – State Highway 128 and State Highway 29 within the City of Calistoga.
• The maximum duration per location is four hours per day, including set-up and clean-up. • The number of permits issued is limited to five (5) per calendar year.

5. Compliance Standards
• No dedicated customer parking spaces are required for Mobile Vending Vehicles. • Mobile vending vehicles must comply with the lighting standards of Calistoga Municipal Code Section 17.36.090 D, requiring that lighting is shielded so as not to shine or create glare on any adjacent property.
• Locations and operations must not obstruct traffic or violate accessibility requirements.

6. Nuisance Control
• Trash, recycling, and compost receptacles must be provided for customer use on-site. • Mobile Food Vendors must keep the area around their vehicles clean and free from litter or debris at all times.

The attached Ordinance amends Chapters 5.12, 10.36, 17.22 and 17.26 of the Calistoga Municipal Code as set forth in Exhibit A of Attachment 1. In brief, the amendments will:
• revise CMC Chapter 5.12 Mobile Food Vendors – adding regulations for all mobile food vending within City limits; and
• revise CMC Chapter 10.36 Stopping, Standing, Loading, Unloading and Parking – prohibiting Mobile Food Vending except under the provisions of CMC Chapter 5.12. • revise CMC Chapters 17.22 (Community Commercial Zoning District) and 17.26 (Light Industrial Zoning District) – permitting Mobile Food Vending as a land use subject to the provisions of CMC Chapter 5.12.

Staff conducted outreach to restaurants regarding the ordinance contents and received no comments at time of packet publication.

CEQA STATUS:

This action does not meet the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The financial impact to implement the Ordinance would be relatively minimal staff time associated with code amendments and enforcing any future regulations.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

Housing Element Content
Since April 2021, the City has been in the process of updating the Housing Element (HE) of the General Plan for the 2023-2031 period (6th Cycle) as required by State law.

The complete 2023-2031 Housing Element Update (Attachment 3) and Negative Declaration are available on the City website at:
https://www.ci.calistoga.ca.us/city-hall/departments-services/planning-building-department/planningdivision/calistoga-housing-element-project The Housing Element is organized into the following sections:
• Chapter 1, Introduction. The Introduction summarizes State requirements relating to the Housing Element.
• Chapter 2, Review of the 5th Cycle Housing Element. This section evaluates the progress made on the 2015-2023 RHNA and actions from the last housing element. • Chapter 3, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing. This section includes an assessment of fair housing issues and describes the community engagement process used to ensure public involvement in the development of the 2023-2031 Housing Element. • Chapter 4, Demographic and Housing Stock Overview and Housing Needs.

HE Changes in Response to HCD Review
On August 24, 2022 City Staff received comments from HCD (after 90-day review) on the Draft HE and revised the document in response (Attachment 4). On November 15, 2022 City Council held a public hearing to review the Revised Draft HE and directed Staff send to HCD for review.

On February 28, 2023, City Staff received comments from HCD on the Revised Draft HE (after 60- day review) and revised the document in response (Attachment 5). Staff incorporated all revisions and presented the document to the Housing Advisory Committee and the Planning Commission. In summary, those revisions (since Council’s last review, appear as track-changes in Attachment 3), are:

Chapters 3-7, the primary thrust of the comments on these chapters is related to increased depth and breadth of technical analysis for: 1) regional and local trends and patterns across neighborhoods for income, disability, and familial status; 2) local and regional disparities of access to educational, environmental, and economic opportunities; and, 3) contributing factors and fair housing issues such as elderly, persons with disabilities, large families, farmworkers, families with single- and female-households.

Chapter 8, Housing Policies and Programs contains the housing goals, policies, and implementing actions that will guide housing development and services to meet the city’s future housing needs. In summary, the Planning Commission recommended revisions are:

Implementation Timeframe. Revision to all actions to specify implementation milestone date (e.g., month/year) for implementation instead of time period (e.g., within two-years of HE certification.) Note that some timelines are less than two years which was City Council's prior direction.

Revised Actions. Nineteen (19) policies are revised to better specify deliverables, measurable metrics for success and objective implementation deadlines. • A1.2-3 (page 8-2) – details related to ADU permit streamlining. • A1.2-3 (page 8-2) – details related to ADU affordability tracking. • A1.2-5 (page 8-3) – vacation homeowner outreach related to workforce housing. • A1.2-6 (page 8-3) – community-based organization collaboration to assist with outreach to second homeowners.
• A2.1-3 (page 8-5) – City consideration of purchasing suitable housing property. • A2.1-6 (page 8-6) – expedited approval process for qualifying housing developments.

Item #8.2.

• A2.3-1 (page 8-7) – changed biennial review to annual review of linkage fees on nonresidential development.
• A4.1-3 (page 8-9) – specified annual meeting with Napa County. • A4.1-3 (page 8-9) – specified annual collaboration with Napa County. • A4.2-1 (page 8-11) – specified special needs populations to include farmworkers, female and single-parent households.
• A4.2-2 (page 8-11) – same as previous
• A4.3-2 (page 8-11) – same as previous
• A4.4-3 (page 8-12) – specified partnership with community-based organization to pursue grant funding.
• A5.1-1 (page 8-13) – included forums as type of outreach for technical assistance. • A5.1-4 (page 8-13) – added emphasis to encourage historic properties rehabilitation • P5.2-1 (page 8-14) – specified location of City’s older residential neighborhoods • A5.2-3 (page 8-14) – specified types of outreach events • A6.1-3 (page 8-16) - specified shared parking strategies • A6.1-10-12 (page 8-17) – combined actions related to Surplus Lands Act New Actions. Nine (9) new policies are added to implement findings resulting from the expanded analysis required by HCD throughout the balance of the HE (Chapters 3-7):
• A1.2-3 (page 8-2) – data collection for ADUs
• A2.1-7 (page 8-6) – study for housing in-lieu fee
• A4.1-9 (page 8-10) – community outreach for female, minority and single-parent householders
• A6.1-4 (page 8-15) – emergency shelter parking
• A6.1-5 (page 8-15) – supportive and transitional housing • A6.1-6 (page 8-15) – agricultural housing
• A6.1-7 (page 8-16) – parking for small residential units • A6.1-8 (page 8-16) – fees and accommodations for persons with disabilities • A6.1-9 (page 8-16) – residential care facilities and group homes Ministerial Review – Streamlined Housing Approvals. On June 27, 2023, HCD released the 2023 SB 35 Determination that Calistoga is one of 42 jurisdictions (539 total) not subject to streamlining under SB 35 because the City has met the prorated Lower (Very-Low and Low) and AboveModerate Income Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the 2022 reporting period.

Accordingly, the City can change its position on streamlining as the City does not need to implement the streamlining procedures in Government Code section 65913.4. However, while the City is not required to implement streamlining, HCD may still push for the policies included in the previous editions of the City’s Housing Element, especially given that HCD notes in their determination that they are still “encouraging” streamlining in cities not subject to SB 35 procedures.

There are four relevant Actions included in the City’s earlier drafts of the Housing Element reviewed by HCD.

A1.2-7 Adopt objective design standards for multi-family residential development, which will be applied to projects eligible for ministerial review.

A5.3-3 Amend Zoning Code Chapter 17.41 Design Review to include elements in objective design standards referenced in A1.2-7and A5.3-1 related to non-ministerial review of development projects.

Item #8.2.

Director Recommendation for Actions 1.2-7 and A5.3-3 – Leave as is. The City should still have objective standards for projects that may be eligible for ministerial review in the future, as well as to assist in processing applications and noting inconsistencies with the City’s regulations.

A2.1-5 Change the zoning on housing opportunity sites to allow ministerial review, as may be required by state law, of housing development projects when a minimum of 20 percent of the units in the development are affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, or moderateincome households.

A6.1-2 Modify the Zoning Ordinance so that parcels in the Site Inventory identified in previous Housing Elements ("Reuse Sites") with at least 20 percent of the units affordable to lowerincome households are eligible for by-right processing with ministerial review, as may be required by state law. Before modification of the Zoning Ordinance, the City should consider identification of any biological or cultural resources on the Reuse Sites that may impact the development viability of the identified sites.

Director Recommendation for Actions A2.1-5 and A6.1-2 – Modify slightly, as noted in underlined text above so that the City is not allowing streamlining if not required by state law.

CEQA STATUS:

A Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment 1, Exhibit A) was prepared for the Housing Element. On August 23, 2022, a Notice of Availability (NOA) was distributed pursuant to local noticing requirements and posted with the California State Clearinghouse and the Napa County Clerk’s Office, which initiated a 30-day public comment period beginning on August 23, 2022, and ending September 21, 2022. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration concluded that the Housing Element could result in potentially significant impacts related to Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy Resources, Geology/Soils, Greenhouse Gases, Hazards/Hazardous Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Mineral Resources, Noise, Transportation and Circulation, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Service Systems. The Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration concluded that potential impacts would be mitigated to less than significant levels through the implementation of recommended mitigation measures or through compliance with existing Municipal Code requirements and City standards. The City will impose mitigation measures identified and contained in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program on future housing projects that implement the Housing Element. The Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, Response to Comments and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are incorporated herein by reference.

2023 – 2031 Housing Element 1 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. PURPOSE AND INTENT
This Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element (hereinafter referred to as the “project”) has been prepared by the City of Calistoga as the lead agency in full accordance with the procedural and substantive requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.

This IS/MND is intended to inform City decision-makers, responsible agencies, interested parties and the general public of potential environmental impacts associated with adoption and implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element. This IS/MND is also intended to provide the CEQA-required environmental documents for all city, regional, and state approvals or permits that might be required to implement the proposed project.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15063(c) lists the following purposes of an Initial Study:

1. Provide the Lead Agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or a Negative Declaration.

2. Enable an Applicant or Lead Agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby possibly enabling the project to qualify for a Negative Declaration.

3. Assist in the preparation of an EIR, if one is required.

4. Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project.

5. Provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a Negative Declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment.

6. Eliminate unnecessary EIRs.

7. Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project.

The City of Calistoga, as the lead agency, has conducted an Initial Study to determine the level of environmental review necessary for the proposed project. Consistent with Section 15070(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, the Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts, however, with implementation of mitigation measures identified herein, all potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less than significant. Based on the Environmental Checklist form and supporting environmental analysis contained herein, the proposed project’s impacts on the following issue areas would be less than significant with the implementation of mitigation: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems. As stated previously, all impacts would be less than significant after mitigation, and as such, the City of Calistoga as the lead agency has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate level of environmental review.

1.2. PUBLIC REVIEW
In accordance with CEQA and the state CEQA Guidelines, a 30-day public review period for the project begins on August 23, 2022, and will conclude on September 21, 2022. This IS/MND has been distributed to interested or involved public agencies, organizations, and private individuals for review. In addition, the IS/MND has been made available for general public review at the following location:

During the public review period, the public also has the opportunity to provide written comments on the information contained within this IS/MND.

In reviewing the IS/MND and as articulated in Section 15204(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, affected public agencies and interested members of the public should focus on the sufficiency of the document in identifying and analyzing potential impacts on the environment from the proposed project, and ways in which the significant effects of the project can be avoided or mitigated. Pursuant to Section 15204(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, public agencies and persons should focus on the proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. If a public agency or person believes that the proposed project may have a significant effect, they should:

1. Identify the specific effect;

2. Explain why they believe the effect would occur; and

3. Explain why they believe the effect would be significant.

Finally, per Section 105204(c), reviewers should explain the basis for their comments, and should submit data or references offering facts, reasonable assumptions based on facts, or expert opinion supported by facts.

Comments on the IS/MND should be submitted in writing and received by the City of Calistoga prior to the end of the 30-day public review period on September 21, 2022. Written comments should be submitted to:

2023 – 2031 Housing Element 3 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Calistoga is located in the northwestern portion of Napa County, Figure 1 Regional Location Map.

Citywide land uses include residential, commercial, light industrial, and public/quasi public, Figure 2 Land Use Designations. Most of the City’s residentially zones land has been developed with a diversity of housing types including single family homes, mobile home parks, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments located primarily within the rural residential, rural residential hillside, low density residential, medium density residential, and the high-density residential land use designations. Several parcels at the City margins, particularly within the rural residential and the rural residential hillside designations, and within the downtown and community commercial designations remain undeveloped or underdeveloped and available for future housing. The proposed Housing Element Update is comprised of seven sites primarily concentrated downtown and along Lincoln Avenue, as depicted on Figure 3, 6th Cycle Housing Site Options.

The proposed Housing Element Update consists of the following:
• Reviewing housing development constraints (including zoning allowances) • Assessing housing needs and fair housing.
• Assessing at-risk housing.
• Accommodating the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) which includes identifying specific sites appropriate for affordable housing.
• Updating existing & establishing new objectives, policies and programs. • Affirmatively furthering fair housing through site selection, public outreach, and the development of policies and programs.

Calistoga’s 6th Cycle RHNA consists of 119 units distributed into Very Low Income, Low Income, Moderate Income, and Above Moderate-Income categories. Each category is defined by households falling into a certain percentage of the Area Median Income, or AMI. In addition to the required RHNA, Calistoga is planning for a minimum 30% buffer to ensure that sufficient capacity to accommodate housing exists within city limits through the planning period (2031) and beyond. To calculate the net new housing capacity needed to meet the RHNA, Calistoga factored in pipeline projects and projected accessory dwelling units. The total new housing units needed to achieve the 6th Cycle RHNA is 30 housing units as shown in the following Table:

Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 4 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration The city exceeded the 5th Cycle RHNA in 2018, and thus has decided to rely primarily on reuse sites for the 6th Cycle. Under this strategy, the opportunity sites under consideration would have a capacity 255 units above the housing units needed (including the 30% buffer). Opportunity Sites (Reuse and Non-Reuse) and Pipeline Projects are shown in Figure 4: 6th Cycle Sites Land Use Designations.

Zoning for the identified sites is presented in Figure 5: 6th Cycle Sites Zoning. The Site Inventory consists of sites currently zoned at a density appropriate for accommodating housing, and therefore, upzoning is not necessary as part of the Housing Element. The site selection relies on reuse sites previously identified for housing in the 5th Cycle but that have not yet been developed. The Housing Element includes a program that would allow Reuse Sites to be developed ministerially if at least 20% of the units in the development are affordable to lower-income households. This program is scheduled to be implemented within 3 years of adoption of the housing element. This program is outlined for consistency with housing element requirements set by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The City of Calistoga is proposing to update its General Plan Housing Element, referred to as the “Housing Element Update” and comprises the Project. There are several goals and objectives for the Project including the following eight overarching and interrelated goals that reflect the values of the community.

1. Maximize opportunities for the development of housing to accommodate anticipated growth and facilitate mobility within the ownership and rental housing markets.

2. Promote housing that meets the needs of extremely low-, low- and moderate-income households, particularly those who work in Calistoga.

3. Maintain the City’s housing stock and protect the affordability of affordable units.

4. Address the housing needs of special-needs population groups, including seniors, farmworkers, people with disabilities including developmental disabilities, large families, and female-headed households.

5. Maintain and enhance the physical condition and aesthetic qualities of existing residential neighborhoods.

6. Remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, where feasible.

7. Prevent housing discrimination on the basis of race/ethnicity, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), religion, age, ancestry, marital status, children, familial status, or disability.

8. Reduce energy use and greenhouse gas production in existing and new residential development.

Specific Objectives that support these goals are included in the Housing Element document and further discussed throughout this analysis.

Required Discretionary Actions
• Adoption of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element (Calistoga City Council) • Approval of the Housing Element by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
Other Public Agency Review
• California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 5 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration California Native American Tribal Consultation
In accordance with AB 52 (PRC Section 21084.2), lead agencies are required to initiate consultation with a tribe with traditional and/or cultural affiliations in the geographic area where a subject project is located if a project may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource. Should the tribe respond requesting formal consultation, the lead agency must work with the tribe or representative thereof to identify potential impacts and develop avoidance or mitigation measures to reduce potential impacts to tribal cultural resources. In addition, SB 18 (GC Section 65352.3) requires lead agencies to contact, and consult with California Native American tribes prior to amending or adopting any general plan, specific plan, or designating land as open space. In accordance with AB 52 and SB 18, notification of the proposed project was mailed to the Mishewal Wappo Tribe of Alexander Valley on February 23, 2022. No responses to the notification or requests to consult on the project were received.

Tiering – Calistoga 2003 General Plan EIR
CEQA Guidelines Section 15152(b) discourages repetitive discussions of the same issues and allows limiting discussion of a later project that is consistent with a prior plan to impacts which were not examined as significant effects in a prior EIR or to a discussion of significant effects which could be reduced by revisions in the later project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15152(d)). No additional benefit to the environment or public would be served by preparing an EIR merely to restate the analysis and the significant and unavoidable effects found to remain after adoption of all General Plan policies and mitigation measures. All General Plan policies adopted as mitigation apply to the project analyzed herein.

The General Plan EIR reviewed potentially significant environmental effects resulting from implementation of the General Plan and developed measures and policies to mitigate impacts. Nonetheless, significant and unavoidable impacts were identified under future conditions that would cause roadway segments or intersections in Calistoga, particularly in the downtown, to fall below Level of Service (LOS) D. Therefore, the City adopted a statement of overriding considerations, which balanced the merits of approving the General Plan despite the potentially significant and unavoidable environmental effects.

Because CEQA discourages repetitive discussions of the same issues, this environmental document tiers from the 2003 General Plan EIR (SCH No. 2003012009), certified on October 21, 2003, to examine site-specific impacts of the proposed project, as described below. A copy of the City of Calistoga General Plan and EIR are available at City of Calistoga, Planning & Building Department, 1232 Washington Street, Calistoga, CA 94515.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation is Incorporated" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

Aesthetics Hazards & Hazardous Materials Recreation
Agricultural & Forestry Hydrology / Water Quality Transportation / Traffic Air Quality Land Use / Planning Tribal Cultural Resources Biological Resources Mineral Resources Utilities / Service Systems Cultural Resources Noise Wildfires
Geology / Soils Population / Housing Mandatory Findings of Greenhouse Gases Public Services Significance

4. DETERMINATION (TO BE COMPLETED BY LEAD AGENCY)
The CEQA Initial Study (IS) Checklist and written explanations are provided in Section 4 below. The Initial Study Checklist and narrative indicate the level of significance of the potential environmental effects of the proposed project upon each of the noted environmental resources. On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

X
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

Aesthetics Setting
The City of Calistoga is situated in the northern most portion of the Napa Valley. The relatively flat topography is interspersed with hills including Mount Washington and Mount Lincoln and mountains at the valley margins.

The western city limit extends into the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains, which rise to a height of approximately 4,700 feet. The eastern city limit abuts the Palisades, a mountain range rising to a height of approximately 2,500 feet and located within the Robert Louis Stevenson State Park. The Napa River flows southward through the central part of the city, from Greenwood Avenue to Dunaweal Lane, and terminates in the San Pablo Bay approximately 50 miles to the south. There are a number of creeks within the city, some of which flow to the Napa River, including Blossom Creek, Garnett Creek, Simmons Creek, and Cyrus Creek.

Calistoga has a small historic walkable downtown with pedestrian-oriented services along Lincoln Avenue.

Important visual features include the tree-lined streets found throughout the city, the Napa River, and several historic homes and commercial buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Through downtown, the buildings range in height from one to two stories with limited three-story structures. Views from downtown Calistoga along Lincoln Avenue highlight the Palisades Mountains to the north and the Mayacamas Mountains to the south. The hilly areas surrounding the city limits are heavily forested, contrasting with the developed landscape in and around Calistoga, which contains large expanses of vineyards, orchards, open space, buildings, and infrastructure.

There are no formally designated State Scenic Highways within the City of Calistoga. Through Calistoga, Lincoln Avenue is coterminous with State Route (SR) 29 which is considered eligible to be officially designated Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 17 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration by the state according to the California Scenic Highway Mapping System. Apart from routes listed as eligible at the state level, the Calistoga General Plan identifies the following scenic corridors and scenic resources.

Scenic Corridors:
• Silverado Trail and Highway 29, up-valley of Silverado Trail • Highway 128/29 up- and down-valley of Lincoln Avenue
• Tubbs Lane
• Lincoln Avenue
• Foothill Boulevard
• Petrified Forest Road
Scenic Resources:
• Views of the Palisade and Western Ranch from downstream • Open space associated with the Gliderport
• Rural lands along Silverado Trail, including views of Mt. Washington • Views of Mount Lincoln from upper Lincoln Street
• Mora Avenue, Greenwood Avenue and upper Grant Street corridors • Corridor through Pioneer Cemetery to the open space of the Herrero property across Highway 128 • Corridor alongside the Bounsall property and adjacent agricultural parcels • Canopy of trees along Cedar Street
Entry Corridor Overlay Area
As shown in Figure LU-6 of the General Plan, sites identified in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element are located along or proximate to identified scenic routes and entry corridors. The northern portion of site D of the Housing Element is within the Downvalley Silverado Trail Entry Corridor Overlay Area which is characterized by vineyards and related uses. This portion of site D is developed with an existing warehouse building. Future residential development that would be facilitated by the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would be limited to the southern portion of site D, which is outside of the Entry Corridor Overlay Area.

Character Area and Gateway Overlays
Resort Character Area Overlay
As shown in Figure LU-7 of the Land Use Element, the approved pipeline projects (Lincoln Avenue Site and Silverado Site), and housing sites A, B, C, D, and E are located within the Resort Character Area Overlay, which is defined as the second most established entry to Calistoga for travelers and visitors approaching from down valley via Silverado Trail. Development and design considerations are provided for the Silverado Trail section and Lincoln Avenue section of this area.

Lower Washington Character Area Overlay
Housing sites F and G are located within the Lower Washington Character Area Overlay which is characterized by a variety of land uses including commercial, medical services, residential, warehousing, open space, and city facilities.

Silverado Trail Gateway
A small portion of housing site A is also located within the Silverado Trail Gateway, which is identified as a major entry into the City of Calistoga. As detailed in the General Plan, development in this area must provide a clear sense of entry into Calistoga and should incorporate local elements such as a geothermal feature to highlight Calistoga’s unique resource.

Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 18 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Applicable General Plan Objectives and Policies
The City of Calistoga’s General Plan sets forth goals, objectives, and policies intended to improve and enhance aesthetics, those particularly relevant to the 2023 -2031 Housing Element Update include the following:

Objective CI-1.1: Reinforce locally distinctive patterns of development, landscape and culture, such as small buildings, mixed use, walkability, architectural diversity, neighborhoods of single-family homes on small lots, vineyards and agricultural lands.
• Policy P1.1-3 New buildings shall have heights that avoid obtrusive breaks in the natural skyline. • Policy P1.1-8 The considerations specified for each Character Area and Gateway overlay designation and each Entry Corridor overlay designation in the Land Use Element shall be followed.

Aesthetics Impact Discussion

5.1(a, c) (Effect a Scenic Vista, Degrade Scenic Quality) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation:

The Housing Element Update would not result in direct construction of housing but would facilitate future housing development on vacant or underutilized sites within incorporated city limits. Development has the potential to change the surrounding visual character by introducing new structures, landscaping, paved surfaces, frontage improvements, as well as through removal of existing vegetation and trees. City-recognized scenic resources within the vicinity of sites identified in the Housing Element include views of the mountains to the north and south from Lincoln Avenue, mature trees, and open space of the former Gliderport property.

New development in the city is subject to the requirements of the Calistoga General Plan and current zoning standards. Since the Housing Element Update proposes reuse sites from the previous Housing Element Cycles, the reuse sites will allow for ministerial review for projects with at least 20% affordable units. No density or height increases are required on these sites. In addition, the City of Calistoga is preparing objective design standards, which will be imposed on future housing development projects once adopted by the City.

Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 19 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration To ensure that potential impacts to the visual character are avoided, future development of housing opportunity sites shall comply with Mitigation Measure AES-1, which requires development of the sites and the development of objective design standards to be consistent with General Plan (LU) Policy P.2.1-2.

Implementation of measure AES-1 will ensure that policies set forth in the General Plan intended to improve and enhance visual resources within and surrounding the city will not be impacted. Therefore, impacts to scenic vistas, scenic corridor, and the scenic quality and visual character resulting from implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element will be less than significant.

5.1(b) (Scenic Resources from Designated Scenic Highway) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: The proposed project will not damage scenic resources including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings visible from a designated State scenic highway. Though there are no formally designated scenic highways within Calistoga, Lincoln Avenue (CA SR 29), is listed as an eligible State scenic highway. Additionally, the General Plan recognizes the Gliderport open space as an important scenic resource within the city. Sites A, B, C, D, and E have frontage on, or are within proximity to Lincoln Avenue, and sites F and G are proximate to the Gliderport open space area. Mitigation Measure AES-1 requires future development to comply with specific objective standards for the various entry corridor, character area, and gateway overlay designations. With implementation of measure AES-1, the Housing Element Update will have less than significant impacts to scenic resources viewed from an eligible state scenic highway (CA SR 29).

5.1(d) (Light and Glare) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: Housing sites are located within proximity to existing residential, commercial, and industrial development that contributes sources of light within the city. As detailed in Mitigation Measure AES-1, outdoor lighting introduced by future development of housing site shall be designed to preserve and protect the nighttime environment in accordance with the International Dark Sky Association model ordinance objectives. With implementation of measure AES-1, impacts resulting from a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area will be reduced to less than significant.

Mitigation Measure(s):

AES-1: Future development of housing opportunity sites and development of objective design standards shall be consistent with entry corridor and character area requirements outlined in the General Plan.

Sources: City of Calistoga General Plan, as amended; 2003 General Plan EIR; and California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program 2016.

Agricultural and Forestry Resources Setting
According to the 2015 Land Use Element Update of the General Plan, and as shown in Figure LU-1, agricultural land within the city comprises approximately one-fifth of the total Planning Area and includes vineyards and orchards. Areas identified as agriculture typically have larger lot sizes and are located at the city’s periphery within the rural residential land use designation.

According to the California Department of Conservation's Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP), in 2016 the City of Calistoga contained approximately 870 acres of land designated as Urban and Built-up Land, 457 acres of land designated as Other, 215 acres of land designated as Prime Farmland, 104 acres of land designated as Farmland of Local Importance, and 3 acres of land designated as Grazing Land.

As shown in Figure OSC-2 of the Open Space and Conservation Element, housing sites identified in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element are not designated as Important Farmland. Furthermore, none of the sites identified are under a Williamson Act contract nor currently used or designated for any other agricultural purposes.

Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 22 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration In accordance with the definition provided in California Public Resources Code Section 12220(g), forest land is land that can support, under natural conditions, 10 percent native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, and that allows for the management of forest-related resources such as timber, aesthetic value, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits. As detailed in the Open Space and Conservation Element of the General Plan, forest lands within the city limits are predominantly located in Calistoga's hillside areas. Sites identified in the Housing Element are located adjacent to developed areas within the city’s incorporated boundaries and lack forest land characteristics. As such, these sites do not meet the definition of forest land pursuant to Section 12220(g) of the Public Resources Code and are not identified are zoned as forest land, timberland zone, or timberland zoned Timberland Production.

Applicable General Plan Objectives and Policies
The City of Calistoga General Plan identifies goals, objectives, and policies intended to protect and enhance agricultural uses in the city. As shown in Figure LU-1 (Uses by Parcel Within the City Limits), housing sites identified in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element are not located on sites on or adjacent to agricultural uses.

Therefore, General Plan objectives and policies related to agricultural uses are not applicable to the project.

Agricultural and Forestry Resources Impact Discussion

5.2 (a-d) (Farmland Conversion, Williamson Act, Forestland, Timberland) No Impact: There are no important farmlands, agricultural resources or preserves, or forestlands on sites identified in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element. None of the sites are classified as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance as mapped pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program nor are any of the sites located on parcels currently under Williamson Act contract. Furthermore, there are no forestlands, timberlands, or parcels with such zoning on the identified sites. As such, the proposed project would not result in the conversion of agricultural resources or forest uses and adoption and implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would have no impact to agricultural or forestland resources.

5.2 (e) (Other Conversions of Farmland or Forest Land) Less Than Significant: As shown in Figure OSC-2 of the General Plan, land designated as Prime Farmland and Unique Farmland is located north of housing sites A and D, separated by Lincoln Avenue and Silverado Trail. Areas designated as woodland, forest and chaparral, as shown in Figure 21 of the General Plan EIR, are located northeast of housing site A. All housing sites and the majority of surrounding land are designated as Urban and Built-Up and Other Land, pursuant to FMMP. Though implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would introduce residential uses within close proximity of existing farmland and forest land, development of these housing sites would be limited to the property boundaries and would not induce conversion of nearby farmland or forest land.

Furthermore, all housing sites are well-served by existing utilities, services, and infrastructure and would not require new services that would support an expansion of use beyond the limits of the subject sites. Therefore, impacts resulting from conversion of other farmlands or forestlands as a result of adoption and implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure(s): None Required.

Air Quality Setting
The City of Calistoga is located within the San Francisco Bay Area Air Basin (SFBAAB) regulated by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD). Air quality within the Bay Area Air Basin is influenced by natural geographical and meteorological conditions as well as human activities such as construction and development, operation of vehicles, industry and manufacturing, and other anthropogenic emission sources.

The Federal Clean Air Act and the California Clean Air Act establish national and state ambient air quality standards respectively.

The BAAQMD is responsible for planning, implementing, and enforcing air quality standards within the SFBAAB, including the City of Calistoga. The BAAQMD operates monitoring stations throughout the District and records pollutant concentration levels for carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), and Particulate Matter (PM). The BAAQMD Compliance and Enforcement Division routinely conducts inspections and audits of potential polluting sites to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and BAAQMD regulations.

The Bay Area Air Basin is designated as non-attainment for both the one-hour and eight-hour state ozone standards; 0.09 parts per million (ppm) and 0.070 ppm, respectively. The Bay Area Air Basin is also in nonattainment for the PM10 and PM2.5 state standards, which require an annual arithmetic mean (AAM) of less than 20 µg/m3for PM10 and less than 12 µg/m3for fine particulate matter (PM2.5). In addition, the Basin is designated as non-attainment for the national 24-hour PM2.5 standard although the EPA recognized the Air District as achieving the attainment in 20131.
1 In January 2013, the US EPA issued a final determination recognizing the BAAQMD achieved the 24-hour PM2.5 national standard which effectively suspended the requirements for the region to submit EPA national ambient air quality documentation. So as long as the District meets the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, the District is not required to submit an attainment demonstration, reasonably Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 24 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration The nearest BAAQMD air monitoring stations are located in Sebastopol and Napa, at Napa Valley College.

According to the Draft 2022 Annual Air Monitoring Network Plan, as of May 25, 2021, the BAAQMD discontinued operation of the Napa Valley College monitoring station to accommodate a student housing project. The Air District secured a new site location in Napa at 1732 Jefferson Avenue and is working with the current property owner to retrofit the space for site implementation, with monitoring anticipated to begin by the end of 2022. As of 2019, annual levels of PM2.5 at the nearest monitoring stations was 5.7 (Sebastopol) and 5.9 (Napa Valley College) µg/m3, which is less than the state AAM threshold. All other national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) within the Bay Area Air Basin are in attainment.

On April 20, 2022, the Air District Board of Directors adopted the proposed CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064 (Determining the Significance of the Environmental Effects Caused by a Project), the thresholds are intended to assist public agencies in determining whether projects would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to global climate change. The adopted thresholds are intended to evaluate projects based on their effect on efforts to meet the State’s long-term climate goals. As determined by the California Supreme Court in Center for Biological Diversity v. Department of Fish & Wildlife, a project would be considered to have a less than significant air quality impact under CEQA so long as it contributes its fair share toward achieving long-term climate goals. As such, new land use development projects are required to incorporate the design elements identified in (A) to implement the State’s goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2045, or must comply with a local GHG reduction strategy as noted in (B):

A. Projects must include, at a minimum, the following project design elements:

1. Buildings
a. The project will not include natural gas appliances or natural gas plumbing (in both residential and nonresidential development).
b. The project will not result in any wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy usage as determined by the analysis required under CEQA Section 21100(b)(3) and Section 15126.2(b) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

2. Transportation
a. Achieve a reduction in project-generated vehicle miles traveled (VMT) below the regional average consistent with the current version of the California Climate Change Scoping Plan (currently 15 percent) or meet a locally adopted Senate Bill 743 VMT target, reflecting the recommendations provided in the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research's Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA:
i. Residential projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per capita ii. Office projects: 15 percent below the existing VMT per employee iii. Retail projects: no net increase in existing VMT
b. Achieve compliance with off-street electric vehicle requirements in the most recently adopted version of CALGreen Tier 2.

B. Projects must be consistent with a local GHG reduction strategy that meets the criteria under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b).
available control measures, a reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, and contingency plans for failure to meet RFP and attainment deadlines. The ruling is effective February 8, 2013, and continues to through the latest available fine particulate matter measurements through 2016. The BAAQMD will continue to be designated as “non-attainment” for the national 24-hour PM2.5 standard until the Air District submits and “resignation request” and “maintenance plan” to EPA, and EPA approves the District’s resignation proposal.

Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 25 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Applicable General Plan Objectives and Policies
The City of Calistoga’s General Plan sets forth goals, objectives, and policies intended to improve and enhance air quality, those particularly relevant to the 2023 -2031 Housing Element Update include the following:

Objective OSC-6.1: Minimize air pollution emissions.
• Policy P6.1-1 The City should support efforts to reduce vehicular emissions in the Calistoga Planning area by reducing congestion and dependence on automobile related forms of transportation. • Policy P6.1-3 The City shall support the Bay Area Air Quality Management District in the implementation of reasonable and feasible new regulations related to the improvement of air quality throughout the Napa Valley.
• Policy P6.1-5 The City shall minimize emissions from construction activities by implementing all feasible, cost effective measures to control dust and PM10, as defined by BAAQMD. These measures include clean-burning fuels and tuning engines to minimize pollution.

Objective OSC-7.1: Minimize Calistoga’s contribution to impacts on the global environment such as dependence on fossil fuels, consumption of non-renewable resources and discharge of toxins and pollutants. • Policy P7.1-3 The City shall promote decreased reliance on motor vehicle travel through effective land use policies, improved public transit and facilities to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian modes of travel.
• Policy P7.1-4 New building construction to minimize consumption of energy resources shall be encouraged through adoption of energy-efficient building codes and regulations. • Policy P7.1-5 The City shall encourage new development to minimize impacts on the local environment.

Air Quality Impact Discussion

5.3(a) (Conflict with Applicable Air Quality Plan) Less Than Significant Impact: The BAAQMD adopted the 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan (CAP) on April 19, 2017 to comply with state air quality planning requirements set forth in the California Health & Safety Code. The 2017 CAP includes a wide range of control measures designed to decrease emissions of the air pollutants most harmful to Bay Area residents and which include particulate matter (PM), ozone (O3), and toxic air contaminants (TACs). The CAP further endeavors to reduce emissions of methane and other “super-greenhouse gases (GHGs)” that are potent climate pollutants in the near-term and to decrease emissions of carbon dioxide by reducing fossil fuel combustion.

The proposed control strategy for the 2017 CAP consists of 85 distinct reduction measures targeting a variety of local, regional, and global pollutants. The CAP includes control measures for stationary sources, transportation, energy, buildings, and agriculture, natural and working lands, waste management, water, and super-GHG pollutants. Implementation of some of the control measures could involve retrofitting, replacing, or installing new air pollution control equipment, changes in product formulations, or construction of infrastructure that have the potential to create air quality impacts.

In general, a project is considered to be consistent with the 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan if a) the project supports the primary goals of the CAP, b) includes control measures and c) does not interfere with implementation of the CAP measures. The 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would have a less than significant impact due to a conflict with the 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan since, a) it supports the goals of the CAP in that it limits sprawl by providing opportunities for housing development within city limits and in walking distance of goods and services (see Figures 5-3 to 5-8 in Chapter 5 of Housing Element); b) includes goals, objectives, policies, and actions intended to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in new residential development; c) includes control measures to protect air quality during construction by implementing best Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 26 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration management practices set forth by BAAQMD. As such, adoption and implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the 2017 CAP and impacts will be less than significant.

5.3(b) (Violate Air Quality Emission Standards) Less Than Significant with Mitigation: Air quality emissions associated with development facilitated by the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would result from short-term construction activities and ongoing operation.

Construction
Construction activities, particularly during site preparation and grading, would temporarily generate fugitive dust in the form of PM10 and PM2.5. As detailed in the BAAQMD April 2022 Justification Report, there is no established threshold for construction-related climate impacts as emissions associated with construction represent a minimal part of overall emissions. However, BAAQMD has established best management practices (BMPs) to control for fugitive dust, for which the Bay Area Air Basin is designated non-attainment.

Consistent with General Plan policy P6.1-5 and BAAQMD BMPs, future development that will occur under the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element shall be required to implement Mitigation Measure AQ-1, which provides for a variety of dust control measures during construction activities including watering the project site, covering haul loads, limiting idling time, and temporarily halting construction when winds are greater than 15 miles per hour. With implementation of measure AQ-1, construction activities will have a less than significant impact to air quality.

Operation
Operation of future housing sites will result in air quality emissions associated with stationary and mobile sources. Although there would be no stationary “point sources” (large emitters such as manufacturing plants) associated with housing development under the Housing Element, operation of future residences would result in area source emissions from the use of natural gas, consumer products such as solvents, cleaners, and paints, and landscaping maintenance equipment while most of the operational emissions will result from the operation of vehicles traveling to and from the project site (residents, deliveries, etc).

Although the city has an adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP), projected emissions do not go beyond 2020 and therefore, concluding that implementation of the Housing Element would result in less than significant air quality impacts due to future development of housing sites being consistent with a qualified CAP cannot be concluded. As such, consistent with the recently adopted BAAQMD CEQA Thresholds for Evaluating the Significance of Climate Impacts from Land Use Projects, future development under the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element shall implement Mitigation Measure AQ-2, which requires that future development of housing sites meet the thresholds identified in the Justification Report. With implementation of measure AQ-2, operational impacts to air quality resulting from implementation of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element will be less than significant.

5.3(c) (Sensitive Receptors) Less Than Significant with Mitigation: The BAAQMD defines sensitive receptors as “facilities or land uses that include members of the population that are particularly sensitive to the effects of air pollutants, such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses.” Residential areas and schools are considered sensitive receptors because people are often at home/school for extended periods of time. Examples of sensitive receptors include places where people live, play, or convalesce and include schools, day care centers, hospitals, residential areas and recreation facilities.

Sensitive receptors within proximity of sites identified in the Housing Element primarily consist of existing residents which may be exposed to health risks from construction exhaust emissions generated during future construction. As previously discussed, Mitigation Measures AQ-1 requires implementation of BAAQMD BMPs throughout the course of all future construction activities. Additionally, future development of sites identified Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 27 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration in the Housing Element shall comply with Mitigation Measure AQ-3, which requires that the applicant/contractor for future development of housing sites demonstrate compliance with the BAAQMD performance standard for health risks and hazard by minimizing diesel particulate matter exhaust. Measures AQ-1 and AQ-3 are required to be implemented during all phases of construction and will reduce potential impacts associated with construction of sites identified for development of residential land uses in the Housing Element, to nearby sensitive receptors to less than significant.

Operation
The project includes adoption of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, which would facilitate future housing development on sites identified in the Housing Element. Residential projects do not generate emissions that would result in health impacts and as such potential impacts to sensitive receptors resulting from operation of residential land uses facilitated by the adopted of the Housing Element will be less than significant.

5.3(d) (Other Emissions) Less Than Significant Impact: Localized odors associated with future development of sites identified in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element may result from operation of construction equipment, paving, and the application of architectural coatings. However, any odors generated during future construction of these sites would be temporary and not likely noticeable beyond the immediate construction zone. Furthermore, the Housing Element provides for future residential development on the identified sites.

Odors are not typically associated with operation of residential uses, and as such, impacts resulting from substantial odor concentrations will be less than significant.

Mitigation Measure(s):

AQ-1: During all construction activities associated with future development facilitated by the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, the contractor shall implement the latest BAAQMD recommended Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control for fugitive dust and exhaust as follows:

1. All exposed surfaces (e.g., parking areas, staging areas, soil piles, graded areas, and unpaved access roads) shall be watered two times per day.

2. All haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material shall be covered.

3. All visible mud and dirt track-out onto adjacent public roads shall be removed using wet power vacuum street sweepers at least once per day. The use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.

4. All vehicle speeds on unpaved roads shall be limited to 15 mph.

5. All roadways, driveways, and sidewalks to be paved shall be completed as soon as practicable. Building pads shall be laid as soon as practicable after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.

6. Idling times shall be minimized either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the maximum idling time to 5 minutes (as required by the California airborne toxics control measure Title 13, Section 2485 of California Code of Regulations [CCR]). Clear signage shall be provided for construction workers at all access points.

7. All construction equipment shall be maintained and properly tuned in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications. All equipment shall be checked by a certified mechanic and determined to be running in proper working condition prior to operation.

8. A publicly-visible sign with the telephone number and person to contact at the Lead Agency regarding dust complaints shall be posted on the project site prior to the initiation of construction activities. This person shall respond and take corrective action within 48 hours. The Air District’s phone number shall also be visible to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 28 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration AQ-2: Consistent with the April 2022 CEQA Thresholds for Land Use Projects, site-specific development proposals for sites identified in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element shall demonstrate compliance with the following:

1. New residential buildings shall not include natural gas appliances or natural gas plumbing.

2. New residential buildings shall demonstrate energy efficiency.

3. New residential development projects shall achieve a 15 percent reduction in project-generated vehicle miles traveled (VMT) below the existing VMT per capita, or as otherwise required by locally adopted Senate Bill 743 VMT reduction targets.

4. New residential development projects shall comply with off-street electric vehicle requirements in the most recently adopted version of CALGreen Tier 2.

AQ-3: Prior to commencing construction activities on sites identified for residential development in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element, the applicant/contractor shall prepare a Health Risk Assessment and develop a plan demonstrating the following:

Single Sources- During construction achieve a <10 per one million excess cancer risk, <1.0 hazard index, and < 0.3 incremental annual PM2.5.

Combined Sources- At operation achieve a <100 per one million excess cancer risk, <10.0 hazard index, and < 0.8 incremental annual PM2.5.

Reducing emissions from off-road equipment used to construct the project is an effective way to achieve a substantial fleet-wide average reduction in diesel particulate matter exhaust emissions up to 75% or greater. One feasible plan to achieve the performance standard would include:

1. Construction equipment staging shall occur as far as possible from existing sensitive receptors (away from the property lines proximate to residences).

2. All diesel-powered off-road equipment larger than 25 horsepower and operating at the site for more than two days continuously shall, at a minimum, meet U.S. EPA particulate matter emissions standards for Tier 4 or alternatively, Tier 3 engines that include CARD certified Level 3 Diesel Particulate Filters. Use of engines that are electrically powered or use non-diesel fuels would meet this standard.

3. The simultaneous occurrence of excavation, grading, and ground-disturbing construction activities on the same area at any one time shall be limited. Activities shall be phased to reduce the amount of disturbed surfaces at any one time.

Biological Resources Setting
Biological resources are protected by state and federal statutes including the Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA), the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), and the Migratory Bird Treaty Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 30 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Act (MBTA). These regulations provide the legal protection for plant and animal species of concern and their habitat at the state and federal level.

As reported in the General Plan, several plant and animal species with special-status have been recorded from or are suspected to occur in northern Napa County and the Calistoga vicinity. Several of these species have been reported in the City’s Planning Area, and most are associated with the specific habitat types including forest, oak woodland, and grassland along the edges of the Planning Area. A few species have been reported from the floor of the valley, generally associated with the aquatic habitat of the Napa River and the freshwater marsh in geyser-fed swales where habitat disturbance has been limited. As shown in Figure 7 below, housing sites A, B, and D are located on sites identified as containing moderately significant grassland/savannah habitat which has the potential to support special status species. Additionally, sites F and G are located near to areas identified as having very significant resources including riparian and freshwater marsh habitat as well as the Calistoga Popcorn Flower and Napa Blue Grass.

FIGURE 7: BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES AND HOUSING OPPORTUNITY SITES The Calistoga popcorn flower (Plagiobothrys strictus) is adapted to wetland pools, seeps adjacent to hot springs, and geysers that provide necessary soil and hydrological conditions to support species survival. The popcorn flower is listed as threatened at the state level, endangered at the federal level, and has a California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Rank of 1B.1. The popcorn flower is an annual herb that grows from 4 to 16 inches Item #8.2.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 31 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration tall, typically containing small white flowers appearing between March and April. The popcorn flower is considered highly vulnerable to extinction due to its restricted range and small population and is therefore provided protection under CEQA.

The Napa Blue Grass is a federal and state-listed endangered plant species and a CNPS Rank 1B.1. The Napa Blue Grass is a perennial species found in wet meadows and seeps on alkaline soils near thermal springs.

Housing Opportunity also contain mature trees, which provide habitat and foraging for special status species, and are protected by the City’s municipal code.

Applicable General Plan Objectives and Policies
The City of Calistoga’s General Plan sets forth goals, objectives, and policies intended to protect biological resources. Those particularly relevant to the 2023 -2031 Housing Element Update include the following:

Objective OSC-1.1: Maintain biodiversity within the Planning Area with special emphasis on species that are sensitive, rare, declining, unique or represent valuable biological resources. • Policy P1.1-1 When reviewing development proposals the City should include assessment of impacts on both individual species and overall biodiversity within the Planning Area. • Policy P1.1-2 Impacts to movement corridors that link wildlife habitat areas should be considered when reviewing development proposals. These corridors should be protected.

Objective OSC-1.2: Minimize impacts to sensitive natural habitats including riparian forest and scrub, freshwater marsh associated with drainages and geothermal areas, oak woodland and savannah, and native grasslands.
• Policy P1.2-2 Review new development and geothermal resource exploitation in order to ensure the maximum protection of native tree species, riparian vegetation, important concentrations of natural plants and important wildlife habitat.
• Policy P1.2-3 Prior to approving specific development plans on undeveloped parcels, biological and wetland assessments to determine the presence or absence of populations of special-status species, sensitive natural communities, and wetland resources shall be conducted. Assessments shall:
▪ Be conducted by qualified specialists in botany, wildlife biology and wetland ecology. ▪ Include, as necessary, detailed field surveys conducted during the appropriate time of the year to permit detection of sensitive resources.
▪ Produce mitigation plans for impacts to biological resources, as necessary. These mitigation plans should include wildlife preservation management plans, where necessary, including adequate mitigation for loss of wildlife habitat components that are critical to maintenance of special-status and other important species.

Objective OSC-1.3: Conserve Calistoga’s native trees and vegetation, which are important biological and aesthetic resources within the Planning Area.
• Policy P1.3-1 Continue to implement and enforce the provision of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, particularly with regard to preservation of native trees of significant size.

Objective OSC-1.5: Prevent the degradation and loss of Calistoga’s wetland areas. • Policy P1.5-2 The City shall recognize Calistoga’s network of drainage ditches as important wetland resource in the Planning Area. Drainage ways shall be considered when evaluating impacts of proposed development on wetland resources.

City of Calistoga
2023 – 2031 Housing Element 32 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration • Policy P1.5-3 Wetlands shall be protected and enhanced. Adequate mitigation shall be provided where complete avoidance is not feasible.
• Policy P1.5-4 Any proposed modifications to wetlands shall require appropriate coordination with representatives of the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to ensure that the concerns and possible requirements of both agencies can be easily incorporated into the proposed plans.

In addition to policies in the General Plan intended to protect Biological Resources in the Planning Area, the City of Calistoga’s Tree Ordinance provides for the protection of mature trees and requires replacement for removal of protected trees. Calistoga Municipal Code 19.01.040 identifies the following trees as protected:
• Any tree with a diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than 12 inches • Any native oak with a DBH greater than six inches
• Any valley oak, including seedlings and saplings
• Any tree bearing an active nest of a fully protected bird Biological Resources Impact Discussion

5.4(a-b) (Adverse Effects to Sensitive Species and Habitats) Less Than Significant with Mitigation:

Adoption of the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element would not result in physical development of identified housing sites, but rather will facilitate future development of these sites. Therefore, there is a potential that the project could result in a substantial adverse impact to sensitive species and habitats.

Special-Status Species
Site’s identified for future housing development in the 2023 – 2031 Housing Element have not been previously developed, and are located on sites identified as containing moderately significant grassland/savannah habitat which has the potential to support sensitive species and are located adjacent to areas identified as having very significant resources including riparian and freshwater marsh habitat as well as the Calistoga popcorn flower and Napa blue grass. As such, future development of sites identified in the Housing Element shall comply with Mitigation Measure BIO-1, which requires preparation of site-specific biological and wetland assessments to identify special-status species, sensitive natural communities, and wetland resources, and provide recommendations to offset impacts to such resources. With implementation of measure BIO-1, potential impacts to special status species and habitats from future development will be reduced to less than significant.

Calistoga popcorn flower+ Napa Blue Grass
Sites F and G are located southeast of the Gliderport open space area, which has documented occurrences of the Calistoga popcorn flower and blue grass, which are state and federally listed plant species. As discussed in the Environmental Checklist, Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Veranda Hotel at Indian Springs project (July 27, 2020, SCH No. 2020070509), populations of the popcorn flower and blue grass at the Gliderport property have been well documented in studies performed by Pacific Union College Professor and Biologist, Aimee Wyrick-Brownworth. Though presence or absence of the Calistoga popcorn flower, Napa blue grass, or other special status plant species on Housing Element sites is not currently known, given the proximity to the Gliderport property, which has documented occurrences, sitespecific biological assessments performed in compliance with measure BIO-1 shall include a discussion of the presence or absence of the popcorn flower as well as any impacts that may occur both on and off site. With implementation on measure BIO-1, impacts to the Calistoga popcorn flower, Blue Grass, and other special status plant species from future residential development as anticipated by the Housing Element Update will be reduced to less than significant.
