Resolution No. 2023-
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CAMARILLO APPROVING AND ADOPTING AN
ADDENDUM TO THE FINAL SUBSEQUENT
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (EIR) 2014-8.
The City Council of the City of Camarillo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. General Findings. The City Council of the City of Camarillo finds and declares as follows:
A. Dennis Hardgrave of Development Planning Services, representing RIC (Springville), LLC., submitted a General Plan Amendment, Change of Zone, and Airport North Specific Plan amendment affecting approximately 26 acres of real property located south of the U.S. 101 Freeway, west of Springville Drive, north of the Camarillo Airport, just east of West Ventura Boulevard (the “Subject Property”).
B. The proposed General Plan amendment ( “GPA 2019 -1”) will change the General Plan Designation of the Subject Property from General Commercial to Industrial (Research and Development); the proposed change of zone (“CZ -335”) will change the zoning from Commercial Planned Development (CPD) to Li mited Manufacturing (LM).; the proposed amendment to the Airport North Specific Plan will change its land use designation for the Subject Property from “Commercial” to “Industrial,” (collectively, the "Project”).
C. Concurrent with the review of this Resolution, the City Council considered the Project.
D. The Planning Commission considered the Project at its October 3, 2023, meeting where the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council (4- 0).
E. Notice of Public Hearing before the City Council was duly given and published in the time, form, and manner as required by law; and
F. On November 8, 2023, the City Council considered this Resolution. Its findings are made based on the entire administrative record including testimony and evidence presented to the Planning Commission on October 3, 2023, and to the City Council at its Novem ber 8, 2023, public hearing, including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Director of Community Development.
SECTION 2. Environmental Findings. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.
Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15164(a), an addendum to a previously certified EIR must be prepared if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The City Council finds as follows:
Resolution No. 2023-
• On June 22, 2011, Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH # 2010081043) was certified for Tentative Tract (TT) No. 5812, which analyzed the development of 525,000 square feet of light industrial uses and 175,000 square feet of office uses, within the Subject Property. • On September 28, 2016, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment, to change the Land Use Element designation from Research and Development (R&D) to General Commercial, a corresponding amendment to the Airport North Specific Plan, a Change of Zone (CZ-322) from LM to Commercial Planned Development (CPD), and a Subsequent Final EIR No. 2014-8 (SEIR SCH #2010081043)
• The City has contracted with Rincon Environmental Consultants to evaluate the environmental impacts of the Project pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines and the City of Camarillo Environmental Guidelines.
• The changes that are being proposed with this Project are minor in the sense and will not create potentially significant environmental impacts above and beyond those with which were contemplated in the Final SEIR 2014-8 for the approved Project.
• This Project will also not substantially increase the magnitude or severity of impacts that were previously identified.
• Accordingly, an Addendum to a previously adopted Final SEIR 2014 -8 (SCH #2010081043) has been prepared and no further environmental review is required.
SECTION 2. Adoption of the Addendum to Final S EIR, 2014-8. After considering the proposed Addendum to Final SEIR, 2014 -08, and the evidence of the entire administrative record, the City Council exercises its independent judgment and finds the Addendum to Final SEIR, 2014 -08 adequately complies with the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines and the City’s Environmental Guidelines; and the Project impacts have been adequately addressed in the Addendum to Final SEIR 2014-8 (SEIR SCH #2010081043) that was prepared for the Project. Based on the above findings, the City Council adopts the Addendum to the Final SEIR 2014 -8 attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.
SECTION 3. Office of Record . The record of proceedings upon which this decision is based is located in the Department of Community Development, which is the office of record for the matter.
SECTION 4. Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.
SECTION 5. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations of the analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form
Resolution No. 2023-
accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are limitations on the City’s ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and National problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limita tions inherent in that framework.
SECTION 6. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.
SECTION 7. Execution. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix their signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Camarillo, and the City Clerk, or duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest thereto.
SECTION 8. Effective Date. This Resolution is effective upon adoption, provided that GPA 2019-1, CZ-335, or the amendment to the Airport North Specific Plan is approved and adopted at the same time as this Resolution.
APPROVED, AND ADOPTED on November 8, 2023.

Addendum to the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report
1 1
Introduction
This document is an Addendum to the 20
16 Springville Commercial
Final Subsequent
Environmental
Impact Report (
Adopted September 28, 2016, SCH
#2010081043
), herein referred to
as the
20 16
Final SEIR
,
located in the City of Camarillo, CA. The document has been
prepared in compliance with
the California Environmental Qual
ity Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended, and implementing
CEQA Guidelines
, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of
Regulations.
Specifically,
a project has been proposed
located in the Airport North Specific Plan
, in
the City
of Camarillo
. The
Project Site
is comprised of four vacant parcels with a total area of 46.88 acres at the southwest quadrant of U
.
S
.
101 and the Springville Drive interchange. The properties are bounded on the west by Ventura Boulevard, on t
he south by the Camarillo Airport, on the north
by U. S. 101, and on the east by Springville Drive.
T
h
is
Addendum evaluates
the potential impacts associated with the land use changes proposed for a 26 -
acres located within a
46.88 -
acre
area of the Springvil
le Commercial Specific Plan. The property
owner is requesting the Termination of an Agreement (2016 -
56) between the property owner and
the City of Camarillo and reversion of the zoning to the Limited Manufacturing (L -
M) Zone that existed
prior to GPA 2014
-
2. The Termination of Agreement process would return the Project Site
to the L
-
M
Zone. A Tentative Tract Map is not included as a part of this request for Termination of Agreement and reversion action by the City of Camarillo
. No actual buildings are propo
sed at this time and the
final building sizes and space would be determined through the separate future planning, entitlement, and CEQA process.
The 20
16 Final SEIR
evaluated
a General Plan Amendment (GPA 2014
-
2) from the City of Camarillo
that would change
the land use designation of 26 acres of the
46.88 -
acre
Project Site
from Industrial
(Research and Development) to Commercial. In addition to the General Plan Amendment, the 2016 SEIR evaluated a corresponding amendment to the Airport North Specific Plan
(
Specific Plan)
, a
change of zone for the 26 acres of the
Project Site
from L
-
M (Limited Manufacturing) to CPD
(Commercial Planned Development)
, and a modification to Tentative Tract Map No. T
-
5812 to
subdivide the
Project Site
into six parcels.
In this Addendum this will herein be referred to as the “
Approved Project
.”
The proposed project would
implement the Termination of Agreement and
would r
eturn the
Project Site
to the L
-
M Zoning.
The purpose of this Addendum is to analyze the environmental impacts of the currently proposed Termination of Agreement and
reversion of the land use designation and zoning to
pre
-
GPA
2014
-
2 designations
of L
-
M
, h
erein referred to as the “
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
,” and
described in detail in Section 3,
Project Description
.
This Addendum has been prepared in accordance with the relevant provisions of CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines
as implemented by the City
of
Camarillo
. According to Section 15164(b) of the
CEQA Guidelines
, an addendum to an EIR is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “only minor technical changes or additions
are necessary or none of the conditions described
in Section 1
5261 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.” Section 15162(a) of the
CEQA Guidelines
states no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for a project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of th e whole record, one or more of the
following:
City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
2 1.
Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial in
crease in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exerci
se of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
A.
The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration,
B.
Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR,
C.
Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce
one or more significant effects of the project, but
the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative, or
D.
Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substa
ntially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
The changes that are being proposed with the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
are minor in the
sense th
ey would not
create potentially significant environmental impacts
above and beyond those
with which were contemplated
in the 2016
Final SEIR
for the Approved Project.
The
Proposed Land
Use Reversion Project
would also not substantially increase the magnitu
de or severity of impacts
that were previously identified. This addendum does not require public circulation because it does not provide significant new information that changes the 2016
Final SEIR
for the Approved Project in
a way that deprives the public
of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
or a feasible way to mitigate or
avoid such an effect.
This Addendum includes an overview of the Project analyzed in the 2016
SEIR, a description of the
proposed changes to the Project (
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
), and a discussion of the
environmental consequences of the proposed changes and comparison of all environmental issue areas contained in the City of Camarillo
CEQA Guidelines.
The City of Camarillo shall consider this Addendum
in conjunction
with the 2016 SEIR prior to
making a decision on the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
. The
2016 Springville Commercial
Final SEIR
is av
ailable for review at the City of

2.4 Project History
Airport North Specific Plan
The
Project Site
is located within the 337
-
acre Airport North Specific Plan (Specific Plan) area.
Development of the
Project Site
is
planned
under
the
Spe
cific Plan, which was
originally
approved
by the Camarillo City Council in 1986
, and most recently amended by the Camarillo City Council in 2016
.
The Specific Plan presents a development program to aid in the understanding of the intensity levels and land
uses allowed there. The Specific Plan proposes to develop the properties into a high quality, corporate image, business park, with unique development patterns, combining research and development type uses, office, corporate, Mixed
-
Use and hotel uses. The
P
roject Site
is designated
as Commercial and Industrial (Research and Development) under the Airport North Specific Plan 2016 update. A draft EIR was prepared for the Specific Plan in September 1985.
The Specific Plan plans for the development of up to 4,4 88,775
Square Feet
(
SF
)
of mixed use, hotel,
office, corporate, commercial support, and research and development uses. The Project Site
was
envisioned
entail all
Phase I
and a small portion of Phase II
of the Specific Plan buildout (
Figur
e
7 ).
To date, all development that has occurred within the Specific Plan area has occurred to the east of the
Project Site
in the area identified as Phase II. This area is developed with the Camarillo Town
Center and Camarillo Town Center II commercial centers. The Camarillo Town Center is developed with approximately 370,000
SF
of commercial uses. The Camarillo Town Center I
I development is
anchored by a Home
Depot retail store. The area between the proposed
Project Site
and the
City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
4 Camarillo Town Center II development was approved for development of up to 499,000 SF
of
commercial uses in 2007.
In 2011
and 2016 modifications were
approved to the site plan. The area
is currently undeveloped
and applications
to develop a Costco warehouse with a gas station on the eastern half of the site have been filed with the City
.
All of these existing and approved
developments are designated f
or Commercial land use under the City of Camarillo General Plan and zoned CPD (Commercial Planned Development).

No. T
-
5812
In June 2011, the City of Camarillo (City) approved Tentative Tract Map No. T -
5812 (TTM No. T
-
5812), which involv
ed a subdivision of the 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
into 25 or fewer lots for the
development of up to 700,000
SF
of light industrial and/or office uses. The lots range in size from
1.00 acre to 4.07 acres. (See
Figure
4 )
. At the time of the adoption of TTM No. T
-
5812, no actual
physical buildings were proposed, and the final building sizes and space were to be determined throughout the planning process, but the total buil
ding size would not exceed 700,000
SF
. TTM No.
T
-
5812 did not include any land use or zoning changes from the original Industrial (Research and Development) designation and L
-
M (Limited Manufacturing) zoning of the
Project Site
.
The potential environmenta
l impacts associated with the TTM No. T
-
5812 project were addressed in
an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which was certified in June 2011.
The 2011 EIR (
SCH
#2010081043
) provided detailed evaluations of impacts associated with land use and planning, ae
sthetics/ visual resources, agricultural resources, hydrology and water quality, traffic and circulation, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and water supply. Other potential impacts were discussed in less detail in the Impacts Found to be Less Than Significant section of the 2011
EIR.
A modification to T
-
5812 was approved in 2016
to
to subdivide the site into six parcels. A
Subsequent EIR (
SCH #2010081043
) was certified in 2016 which addressed the potential
environmental impacts
associated with TTM modification. The TTM was not recorded and the entitlement has since expired.
General Plan Amendment 2014
-
2 In September 2016, after a request from the applicant, the City approved General Plan Amendment (GPA) 2014
-
2, which
amended
the
land use designation from Industrial (Research and Development) to Commercial and changed the zoning designation from L -
M (Limited Manufacturing) zoning to CPD
(Commercial Planned Development) of 26 acres of the 46.88 -
acre
Project Site.
The remaining 20.88
acres of the
Project Site
remained unchanged as Industrial (Research and Development) and zoned L
-
M (Limited Manufacturing). It also included a corresponding amendment to the Airport North Specific Plan designations. Under a maximum development scenario,
of
up to 268,500
SF
of
commercial space could be developed within the redesignated 26 acres.
Figure
5 and
Figure
6 below
show the current and proposed land use and zoning.
In September 2016, in conjunction with the GPA described above, the City entered into an agreement (Sellek Agreement) with the applicant for commercial land use,
in anticipation of a
regional destination retail use. The agreement included “Project milestones” for submittal of a regional destination retail use. In March 2017, the agreement was amended to extend the “project milestone” date for the developer to pres
ent to the City a destination retailer in five years, which would be through March 3, 2022.
A Subsequent EIR (
SCH #2010081043
) was certified in 2016 which addressed the potential
environmental impacts associated with GPA, Specific Plan Amendment and Zone Change. The 2016
Subsequent EIR analyzed the potential development of up to 268,500 SF
of commercial space and

5 198,767
SF
of industrial and/or office space (from the 700,000 (
SF
) of industrial/office) and provided
detailed evaluations of impacts associated
with aesthetics/ visual
resources, air
quality,
agricultural
resources, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, greenhouse gas emissions, noise, traffic and circulation and water supply.
Other potential impacts were discussed in less detail in
the
Impacts Found to be Less Than Significant section of the 2016 Subsequent EIR.

3.3 Existing Conditions
The
Project Site
is vacant and undeveloped. The
Project Site
is relatively flat and slopes gently to the
south at a rate of approximately 0.007 foot in height to one foot of distance. Until the spring of 2008, the
Project Site
was used for the agricultural production of row crops. In 2013 the property owner attempt
ed to grow hay without the use of water and pesticides. However, the crop did not thrive due to a lack of rain and was
fallowed
. The
Project Site
is no longer
actively
cultivat
ed
. The
Project Site
is
also bisected by the relocation of West Ventura Boulevar d and two cut
-
outs are currently provided
for future roadway access into the
Project Site
.
3.4 Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
In November 2021, the
property owner (hereinafter “
applicant
”)
requested a
Termination of
Agreement of the existing Selleck Agree
ment
and amendment as they determined that the
destination retail concept envisioned at the time is no longer viable due to a major shift in the regional and national retail marketplace. The agreement has since expired.
The applicant is requesting to reve
rt the land use designation of the entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to
Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M (Limited Manufacturing) to allow for
the development of up to 525,000
SF
(75 percent) of light industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25
percent) of office uses (pre
-
GPA 2014
-
2 designations).
Figure
5 and
Figure
6 above
show the
proposed land use and zoning. No development is proposed.
Because the
Proposed Land Use
Reversion Project
involves the reversion of a zone change and general plan land use and a departure from the project analyzed
in the 201
6 S
EIR, it
w
as determined that CEQA is required.

Impact Analysis
This Addendum evaluates potential environmental impacts that could result from the Proposed
Land Use Reversion Project
. The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
was re
viewed in relation to
the certified 20
16 Final SEIR
and relative to the current baseline environmental conditions. A comparative analysis of the potential impacts associated with the Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
and those of the approved project ana
lyzed in the adopted 20
16 Final SEIR
has been
prepared using Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines as a guide. The CEQA Appendix G checklist is consistent with the format and environmental topics and questions of the checklist used in the 20 16 Final SEIR
, but
also includes recent updates to reflect the most recently adopted checklist provided in Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines.
The checklist considers the full range of environmental issues subject to analysis under CEQA (in rows), and then poses a series of questions (in columns) aimed at identifying the degree to which the issue was analyzed in the
2016
Final SEIR
. The checklist
also includes a column identifying
whether the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
constitutes new information of substantial
importance relative to each environmental issue
.

The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
is
located on the same
Project Site
as the Approved
Project
and consists of flat, formerly agricultural, undeveloped land. As described in the 2016 Final
SEIR
, views to the north are dominated by the Ventura Freeway, beyond which are the Camarillo Hills which are developed with residential uses.
Short
-
range views looking south across the
Project
Site
towards Camarillo Airport
are not considered scenic vistas. L
ong
-
range views of the Santa
Monica Mountains to the southeast and east are generally available due to their elevation; however the flat topography of the
Project Site
and intervening buildings to the east may prevent these views from some portions of the
Project Site
. Consequently, no other scenic vistas currently exist in the areas around the
Project Site
and therefore the 2016
Final SEIR
found that impacts to scenic vistas
would be less than significant
for the Approved Project
.
The
Proposed Land Use Rev
ersion Project

(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 525,000 SF
(75 percent) of

(25 percent) of office uses. The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
18 does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA
review.
The
proposed L
-
M zoning of the
Project Site
would
also
limit future development to less than 35
feet in height without a Conditional Use Permit. Furthermore, under no circumstance, may building heights (including architectural features) exceed es
tablished
navigational
easements outlined in the
Ventura County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan. Therefore, the Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista that is visible from a City scenic corrido
r and
would result in no new or more severe impacts
to scenic vistas
beyond those identified
in the 2016
Final SEIR
.
b.
Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway?
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
is
located
on
the same
Project Site
as
the Approved
Project
. As described in the 2016
Final SEIR
, there are no scenic resources, such as native California trees, bodies of water, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings at the Project Site
. Also, the segments
of U.S. Highway 101 in Camarillo are not designated as a state scenic highway. The only valu ed
public view in the area would be of the Santa Monica Mountains to the southeast and east. Since these mountain ranges are substantially at a higher elevation than the Project Site
, views of the
mountains from the city’s two scenic routes would not be ob structed by project buildings at the
Project Site
.
The 2016
Final SEIR
found that impacts to scenic resources would be less than significant
for the Approved Project
.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
involves the reversion of the land use designatio
n of the
entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 525,000 SF

SF
(25 percent) of office uses
. The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
Therefore, the
Proposed Land Use
Reversion Project
woul
d not have a substantial adverse effect on scenic
resources
and
would result
in no new or more severe impacts
to scenic vistas
beyond those identified in the 2016

However, the
Project Site
is located within th
e City’s Heritage Zone which requires developments to
have particular design themes, such as Mission, Monterey, Early California, Spanish, and Mediterranean styles or modern interpretations of these styles. Also, the Specific Plan requires buildings to fol
low design standards based upon Mediterranean, Mission, Monterey, and Early California architectural styles.
As
development project
s are proposed, they would be
also be subject
to an architectural review by the City of Camarillo Community Development Depar tment and

d.
Would the
project
create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the
area
?
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the dev
elopment of up to 525,000
SF
(75 percent) of light
industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses. The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the
Projec
t Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
is
located on the same
Project Site
as the Approved Project
and consists of flat, formerly
agricultural, undeveloped land. Thus,
there is a potential for
future d
evelopment at the
Project Site
would introduce new sources of light and glare
.
Nighttime sources of light would include vehicle headlights, streetlights
, interior and exterior
security building lights, parking lot and other security lighting. These sources of light would be very similar to the existing lighting in the industrial area to the west and the Camarillo Town Center developments to the east. As d
escribed in the 2016
Final SEIR
, Compliance with Camarillo Zoning
Ordinance standards would ensure that there will not be excessive nighttime lighting beyond that necessary for function and safety. Exterior lighting would be located and designed to minimiz e
direct spill beyond the parking lot or service area. In accordance with Title 24 as implemented through City codes and standard conditions of approval, all lighting would be shielded and focused on the project features, and directed away from the adjacen t highway, roadways, and Camarillo
Airport. Blinking, flashing, or unusually high intensity lighting would be prohibited in accordance with Camarillo Zoning Ordinance standards. As such, lighting at the Project Site
would not adversely
affect aircraft flig
hts into or out of Camarillo Airport or vehicular traffic on U.S. Highway 101 or Ventura Boulevard.
Sources of glare that may cause daytime glare include exterior building materials such as glass and highly reflective façade materials and
finishes. Surface paving materials and cars parked in surface lots are also sources of glare. The Community Design Element of the City of Camarillo General Plan recommends that industrial buildings shall be a compliment to the area and shall promote good a
rchitectural design through the use of building proportions, massing, materials, textures, and colors. Also, the design schemes required by the City’s Heritage Zone as well as the Mediterranean/Spanish architectural styles required under the Specific Plan do not involve design
styles with highly reflective materials.
Based on this information, similar to the Approved Project, and because no physical development is
proposed at this time,
the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would not create a new source o
f
substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area
and would
result in no new
or more severe impacts
beyond those identified in the 2016
Final SEIR
.

ed Land Use Reversion Project
does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
is
located on the same
Project Site
as the Approved Project
and consists of flat, formerly
agricultural, undeveloped land.
The
Project Site
is classified as farmland of local importance by the California Department of Conservation (DOC 2018). Although qualit
y soils are present at the
Project Site
, the 2016
Final SEIR
determined that impacts were less than significant
for the Approved Project
because
of the
relatively small size of the
Project Site
, agricultural irrigation water no longer being available at th e
Project Site
, and the
Project Site
being surrounded by urban uses. The same conditions exist at the Project Site
for the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project. Therefore, similar to the Approved
City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
22 Project
, the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would not co
nvert Farmland of Statewide
Importance to non
-
agricultural use and would result in no new
or more severe impacts
beyond
those identified in the 2016
Final SEIR
.
b.
Would the project c
onflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act con
tract?
The
Project Site
is not subject to a Williamson Act Contract (DOC 2018). Additionally ,
the
Project Site
is also currently zoned and designated for non
-
agricultural uses. Therefore, similar to the Approved
Project, the Proposed Land Use Reversion Pr
oject would not conflict with existing zoning for
agricultural use or a Willamson Contract and would result in no new
or more severe impacts
beyond
those identified in the 2016
Final SEIR
.
c.
Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could
result in conversion of Farmland to non
-
agricultural use?
The
Project Site
has been planned
for conversion from agriculture to urban
uses since 1986.
Additionally, land uses within the
Project Site
vicinity include commercial retail, residential, and
airport associated uses.
Generally, there
are
limited agricultural activities within the area of the
Project Site
, which
c
ould
result in conversion of Farmland to non
-
agricultural use
.
Therefore, there
would be no unanticipated
actions that could cause other land in the vicinity of the Project Site
to
convert from agriculture to non
-
agriculture uses.
Therefore, similar to the Approved Project, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would
not involve cha
nges that could result in conversion of
Farmland to non
-
agricultural uses
and would result in no new or more severe impacts beyond those identified in the 2016
Final SEIR

Would the project conflict with
or obstruct implementation of the current Ventura County Air Quality Management
Plan
?
The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that the Approved Project does not include any residential uses and would not result in the direct growth of population within the Camarill o Growth Area. Therefore,
the Approved Project would not conflict with the 2007 Ventura County Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) or jeopardize attainment of state and national ambient air quality standards in Ventura County and the impact would be less th
an significant
for the Approved Project
.
The 2022 Ventura County AQMP was
approved by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control
District
(VCAPCD)
on December 13, 2022
. Although the VCAPCD is responsible for regional air quality planning efforts, it does no
t have the authority to directly regulate the air quality issues associated with plans and new development projects within the County. Instead, the VCAPCD has used its expertise and prepared the Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines to indirectl y address
these issues in accordance with the projections and programs of the AQMP. The purpose of the Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines is to assist Lead Agencies, as well as consultants, project proponents, and other interested parties, in
evaluating potential air quality impacts of
projects and plans proposed in Ventura County. For general development projects, the VCAPCD recommends that consistency with the current AQMP be determined by comparing the population generated by the project to
the population projections used in the development of the AQMP. Like City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
24 the Approved Project, the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any residential uses and would not result in the direct growth of population within the Camarillo Growth Ar ea.
Therefore, the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would not conflict with t
he 2022 Ventura
County AQMP and would result in no new or more severe impacts
beyond those identified in the
2016
Final SEIR
.
b.
Would
the
project
result in a cumulatively cons
iderable net increase of ROC and/or NOx
emissions?
The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that
the Approved Project would generate a cumulatively
considerable net increase of ROC and NOx emissions during project construction and operation. The Approved Project wou
ld be required to implement Mitigation Measure AQ
-
2, during
construction,
which would reduce the emissions generated by heavy
-
duty diesel
-
powered construction
equipment operating at the
Project Site
. In addition, during project operation, the Approved Proj ect
would be required to implement Mitigation Measures AQ
-
3, which would require developers to use
low emission water heaters in new buildings and low emission landscaping equipment, AQ -
4, which
requires the developer to implement a
Project Site
-
wide Trans
portation Demand Management
(TDM) program to reduce the number of vehicle trips generated by uses at the Project Site
, and AQ
-
5 which requires the developer to pay to the City TDM fund an applicable mitigation fee per vehicle trip, determined by the City o
f Camarillo Department of Community Development. These mitigation measures are described in detail on pages 108 through 110 of the 2016 Final SEIR
. Compliance with
these mitigation measures would reduce ROC and NOx emissions from the Approved Project to a less than significant level.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 525,000 SF
(75 percent) of light
industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses and does not include any c
ommercial uses.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any
future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA
review. As such the Proposed Land Use Reversion P
roject would result in less daily vehicular trips
than the Approved Project due to the lack of commercial uses. In addition, any future development on the
Project Site
would also be subject to
CEQA and if impacts are associated with development
the project
proponent would be required to implement
Mitigation Measures AQ
-
2 through AQ
-
5 described in the 2016
Final SEIR
. Like the Approved Project implementation of these mitigation measures would reduce the cumulative impact of ROC and NOx emissions to a less th an significant
level and
The Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
would result in no new or more severe impacts
related to
ROC and NOx emissions
beyond those identified in the
2016 Final SEIR
.
c.
Would the project
e
xpose sensitive receptors to substantial
pollutant concentrations of fugitive
dust, carbon monoxide, toxic air contaminants, and/or San Joaquin Valley Fever spores ?
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project would occupy the same
Project Site
as the
Approved
Project and
is not in proximity to reside
nces or other sensitive receptors that could be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations from future development. No new sensitive receptors have been constructed in proximity to the
Project Site
since adoption of the 2016
Final SEIR
.
Furthermore, t
he lack of commercial uses included in the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would
result in less daily vehicular trips than the Approved Project , further lowering the exposure of
sensitive receptors to pollutants. Therefore, the Proposed Land Use Revers ion Project would not

Addendum to the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report
25 result in new or more severe impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors to air pollution beyond those identified in the
2016 Final SEIR
.
d.
Would the project r
esult in other emissions that create objectionable odors adversely affecting
a substantial number of people
?
The
2016 Final SEIR
determined that the commercial and light industrial uses of the Project Site
are
not typically associated with odor complaints and there are no sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the
Project Site
that would be offended by objectionable odors. Therefore, it was determined that the potential impacts associated with objectionable
odors would be less than significant
for the
Approved Project
.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 525,000 SF
(75 percent) of light
industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses and does not include any commercial uses.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any
future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA
review.
Odors are typically associated with industrial projects i nvolving the use of chemicals,
solvents, petroleum products, and other strong
-
smelling elements used in manufacturing processes,
as well as sewage treatment facilities and landfills. Office uses are not typically associated with odor complaints.
The types
of
development
activities that would occur at the
Project Site
are not known
at this time,
however,
there
are no sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the
Project Site
to expose
objectionable odors to
. The existing land uses to the west of the
Project Sit
e
are
developed with
industrial
uses
and capable of generating similar od
ors.
Therefore, the Proposed Land Use Reversio
n
Project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to the creation of objectionable
odors
beyond those identified in the
20 16 Final SEIR
.

Until the spring of 2008, the
Project Site
was used for the agricultural production of row crops. The on
-
site
soils were
plowed at the beginning of each planting season and plants were removed at the end of each planting season, of which there were at least two per year. The Project Site
is no longer
under
active
cultivation. The
Project Site
is also bisected
by Ventura
Boul
evard and the extension of
Springville Drive. As such, any natural habitat or sensitive species that may have been at the Project
Site
in the past were removed several decades ago for agricultural operations. There are also no existing trees at the
Project
Site
and the
Project Site
is not considered to be part of an established

29 migratory wildlife corridor. The area around the
Project Site
has also been used for agriculture and
urban uses and generally does not support any riparian or other sensitive habitat . The Camarillo
Hills Drain is subject to the California Department of Fish and Game 1603 permit procedures, but no alternation to the drain was proposed as part of the Approved Project.
The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that the Approved Project is not expec
ted to have any impact on
sensitive biological resources. However, the potential exists for migratory burrowing owls and other wildlife to be present at the
Project Site
when construction activities commence. Therefore, the
Approved Project would be requir
ed to implement Mitigation Measures BIO
-
1, which requires a pre
-
construction survey for resident burrowing owls, and BIO -
2, which requires the presence of a
qualified biologist on
the
Project Site
during initial ground disturbance activities. These mitigat ion
measures are described in detail on pages 170 through 171 of the 2016 Final SEIR
. Implementation
of these mitigation measures was found to reduce potential impacts to burrowing owls and wildlife of low mobility to less than significant levels
for the A
pproved Project
.

The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that the
Project Site
has been modified and used for agricultural
purposes for several decades and no structures exist at the Project Site
and therefore, no impacts to
historical resources would occur
for the Approved Project
.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves
the reversion of the land use designation of the

.
b.
Would the project c
ause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource
pursuant to
§15064.5?
The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that
t
here are also no known prehistoric archeological
resources
within the
Project
Site
. It is likely that any surface and subsurface archeological remains that might have once occurred at the
Project Site
would have long since been eliminated by past agricultural activities. However, there is a possibility that archeological resources may still exist below the
surface, and that these remains could be encountered during Project Site
excavation activities.
Therefore,
the Approved Project would be required to implement Mitigation Measure CR -
1,
described in detail on page 172 of the 2016
Fi
nal SEIR
, which would require halting construction if
archaeological
resources
are encountered during development. Implementation of
Mitigation
Measure CR

1 would reduce impacts to archeological resources to a less than significant level
for
the Approved P
roject
.

c.
Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in a Public Resources Code Section 21074 as either a Project Site
, feature,
place, or cultural landscape that is geographicall
y defined in terms of the size and scope of the
landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:
1. Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local
register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k)?
2. A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivis ion (c) of Public
Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the City shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe?
The 2016 Final S
EIR predates the updates to the
CEQA Guidelines
requiring the evaluation of
potential impacts to tribal cultural resources. The following provides a discussion of the City’s consultation efforts as required under Assembly Bill (AB) 52 and Senate Bill (SB)
18. City staff contacted NAHC and requested a contact list of Native Americans culturally affiliated with the project area in August 2023. The City prepared and sent certified mail letters to local Native American groups listed in the results on August
2,
2023. Of the 12 Native American groups,
the
Barbareño/Ventureño Band of Mission Indians
requested consultation. In response the City

.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
does not include any development or ground disturbing
activities and any future development on the

Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
As dis
cussed in
2016
Final SEIR
,
n
o known cemeteries, human remains, or Native American
cultural
resources are located on
or near
the
Project Site
, but the potential to find previously undiscovered
remains cannot be completely ruled out. The
2016
Final SEIR
therefore includes Mitigation Measure
CR
-
3 , which requires that if any human remains are found during construction activities, all activities City of Camarillo

st cease and the
City of Camarillo and County Coroner
must be notified.
Mitigation Measure CR
-
3 also
requires
the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC
) be notified within 24 hours of the
discovery and that guidelines of the NAHC shall be adhered to in
the treatment and disposition of
the remains.
Implementation of this mitigation measures would reduce impacts to human remains
to
a to less than significant level
for the Approved Project
.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of

Impact Analysis
Geology and Soils
Addendum to the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report
39 As discussed
in the 2016
Final SEIR
,
according to the City of Camarillo General Plan, the
Project Site
is not underlain by an active fault, not located in an Alquist -
Priolo Earthquake Fault Hazard zone,
and is not located within a landslide/mudslide hazard zone.
Although the
Project Site
is located in an
area with liquefaction potential, the suitability of
the
Project Site
to support non
-
residential
development has been evaluated in the
Preliminary Due Diligence Geotechnical Investigation, 50 Acre Agricultural Property, South of 101 Freeway and Bajo Agua, City of Camarillo, California
prepared by Geolabs
-
Westlake Village
(Geo
l
abs, 20
05 )
.
An update to this report was prepared by
Geolabs
-
Westlake Village in 2010 to account for a new building code. The City of Camarillo has independently reviewed and approved the information presented in the two reports.
T
he two reports demonstrate that the development of the
Project Site
with non
-
residential uses is
feasible from a geotechnical perspective with no unusual risk or geotechnical hazard. Standard engineering practices as specified in the two technical reports would ensure that the project
developments would not pose a significant risk to people or structures in the event of a seismic activity. Therefore, the 2016 Final PEIR determined that potential impacts associated with geology and soils would be less than s
ignificant
for the Approved Project
.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to
allow for the development of up to 525,000
SF
(75 percent) of light
industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses. The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future developm ent on
the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
is
located on the same
Project Site
as the Approved Project
and
Project Site
conditions are
the same as when was analyzed in the 2016 Final SEIR.
Therefore, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to
potential adverse geologic effects
beyond those identified in the 201
6 Final SEIR
.
e
.
Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
As discussed
in the 2016 Final PEIR,
there are no natural watercourses at the
Project Site
and
Project
Site
does not drain towards any natural watercourse. Stormwater runoff from the Proposed Land
Use Reversion
Project Site
would continue to flow towards the drains on West Ventura Boulevard.
These drains were sized to accommodate the development of the Project
Site
along with nearby
properties. Therefore, the
Approved Project
would not alter the existing drainage pattern of the
Project Site
or area in a manner which would result in substantial
soil erosion or the loss of topsoil
and therefore the 2016 Final PEIR
determined that impact
s
would be less than significant
for the
Approved Project
.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88

Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or Project Site
or unique
geologic feature?
The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that there are also no known paleontological r esources within the
Project Site
. It is likely that any surface and subsurface paleontological remains that might have once occurred at the
Project Site
would have long since been eliminated by past agricultural activities. However, there is a possibility
that paleontological resources may still exist below the surface, and that these remains could be encountered during Project Site
excavation activities.
Therefore, the Approved Project would be required to implement Mitigation Measure CR -
2,
described in de
tail on page 172 of the 2016
Final SEIR
, which would require halting construction if
paleontological resources are encountered during development. Implementation of these Mitigation Measure CR
-
2 would reduce impacts to paleontology resources
from the Appro

Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a

The 2016

determined that the Approved Project would yield an efficiency of
1.69 metric
tons of carbon dioxide equivalent
(MTCO
2 e)
of
Green House Gases (
GHGs
)
per service population
member
. The GHG emissions
per service population member would be substantially less than the then
South Coast Air Quality Management District
’s (SCAQMD) draft threshold of 4.8 MTCO
2 e per
service population. Therefore the 2016
Final SEIR
concluded that the City of Camarillo, as lea
d
agency, may conclude that the GHG emissions generated in association with the Approved Project would not have a significant impact on the environment.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entir
e 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 525,000 SF
(75 percent) of light
industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses and does not
include any commercial uses.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any
future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA
review.
The number of employees at
the proposed office and light industrial uses has not been identified at this time. However, the total service population can be roughly estimated by dividing the number of potential daily vehicle trips by two.
The vehicle trip numbers are divided by two s
ince each service
population member would make one trip to the site and one trip from
the site (one person, two
trips). This is a very conservative assumption since each vehicle is assumed to accommodate only one person, whereas, many of the vehicles would
accommodate more than one person.
As
discussed in the 2016 Final SEIR the Approved Project would generate approximately 10,548 vehicle trips per day. Dividing this number by two identifies a conservative project service population of approximately 5,274 e
mployees, customers, and vendors.
City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
44 The
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would result in less daily vehicular trips than the Approved Project due to the lack of commercial uses
and
as such,
it can be deduced that future
development at under the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would yield
an efficiency of less
than
1.69 MTCO
2 e
of GHGs per service population member
. Th
is
analysis demonstrates that the
GHG emissions per service population member would be substantially less than the SCAQMD’s draft
2035
efficiency targets
of
3.0 MTCO
2 e
per ser
vice population.
Therefore,
it can be deduced that
given the number of vehicle trips generated from the Project Site at the maximum buildout potential for light industrial and office use,
the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would not
result in new or m
ore severe impacts
to
GHG emissions
beyond those identified in the 201
6 Final
SEIR
.
b.
Would the project c
onflict with an applicable plan, policy, or reg
ulation adopted for the purpose
of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
The 2016
Final SEIR
dete
rmined that the Approved Project’s efficiency of 1.69 MTCO 2 e of GHGs per
service population member would be consistent with
the goal of
AB
32 to reduce statewide GHG
emissions to 1990 levels by 2020
and therefore it would be consistent with AB 32. The
Prop
osed
Land Use Reversion Project
would also be subject to the energy efficiency requirements of the Title 24 CalGreen Code. Based on this information, the 2016
Final SEIR
concluded that the Approved
Project would not conflict with an applicable plan, policy
or regulation for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of GHGs and the impact of the Approved Project would be less than significant.
As shown in the analysis above, future development under the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would yield an efficien
cy of less than
the
1.69 MTCO
2 e
of GHGs per service population member
generated by the Approved Project
, and thus it would also be consistent with the AB 32 and GHG reduction targets set by SCAQMD. As such, future development under the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would not result in new or more severe impacts
to GHG reduction plans, policies
or regu
lations
beyond those identified in the 201
6 Final SEIR
.

The 2016
Final SEIR
deter
mined that
the industrial uses at the
Project Site
could involve the
transport, storage, and use of hazardous materials. However, it is expected that all such materials would be transported, stored, and used in accordance with applicable federal and state regulations.
V
ehicles that transport such material
s are regulated by
federal and state agencies
and t
he storage of
hazardous materials is regulated by federal and state regulations and is verified through inspections by the
Ventura County
Fire Department. The use of hazardous materials is regulated by fed eral and
state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) agencies.
Given all of the federal and
state regulatory requirements
, the 2016
Final SEIR
concluded that compliance with the applicable
regulations ensures that potential operational impac
ts associated with hazardous materials at the
Project Site
are less than significant
for the Approved Project
.

issue of potential concern identified during the Phase I ESA investigation was the possibility of farm -

For a project located in an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would t he project result in a safety
hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area?
As described in the 2016
Final SEIR
the
Project Site
is located
directly north of
Camarillo
Airport
is
located within the Airport Specific Plan and
t
he Compatible Land Use Plan (CLUP) for Camarillo
Airport
, which included in
the Airport Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Ventura County. The southern portion of the
Project Site
is located within the
Height Restriction Zone (HRZ), which
restricts structure
height to a 7:1 ratio
measured
from the airport runway
elevation starting at the
northerly airport property line
. The
Project Site
is also located within the Traffic Pattern Zone (TPZ).
The CLUP allows for office and industrial uses provided that the stru ctural coverage of industrial and
City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
48 office uses within the TPZ
, provided they do
not exceed 50 percent
maximum structural coverage
and that an avigation easement, and fair disclosure and covenant be recorded by the owner and developer of the properties withi
n the TPZ.
The 700,000
SF
of building space included in the Approved Project would represent a maximum structural coverage of 34 percent of the
Project Site
, which would not exceed the 50 percent
recommendation for properties within the TPZ. According to t he Specific Plan, the
Project Site
is
located within the 2
-
story airport building height zone, which specifies a maximum height of 35 feet for two
-
story buildings, exclusive of architectural elements such as towers, cupolas, etc. Special purpose buildings
requiring heights in excess of two stories may be considered under a conditional use permit. Under no circumstance, however, may building heights (including architectural features) exceed the FAR Part 77 or CLUP height restrictions and established avigatio nal easements.
Future buildings planned under the Approved Project would be reviewed by the C
ity
Planning
Department and Building Department
during the Industrial Planned Development (IPD) approval process to ensure that the maximum building elevations, excluding various architectural features, at the
Project Site
would not exceed the height zone and avigational easement standards. The city als o
forwards the building plans for projects near Camarillo Airport to the Airport Manager for review and comment for consistency with all applicable height and density restrictions, and applicable avigation easements. As an industrial and/or office developm ent, the Approved Project is unlikely to
include uses that could conflict with airport operations, electronic communications or navigational aids that could potentially be associated with research and development activities as detailed in the EIR for the A
irport North Specific Plan. However, the city requires as a standard condition of approval that the project developers sign an agreement indicating that any electromagnetic disturbance that causes interference with radio transmission, aircraft, instruments , navigational
aides, or other electromagnetic receptors, shall be modified or abated upon the written request by the Camarillo Airport Authority. Consequently, the 2016 Final SEIR
found that impacts related to
airport safety hazards
for the Approved Proje
ct
would be less than significant.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88

found that the approved project would not generate sufficient traffic to create severe traffic congestion, nor would it interfere with emergency access to the Project Site
. The
internal roadways and driveways would be designed in ac cordance with all City regulations,

As described in the 2016 Final SEIR, the
Approved Project
would require a General Construction
Activity Storm Water Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) prior to the start of construc
tion. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires that a Notice of Intent (NOI) be filed with the SWRCB. One of the conditions of the General Permit is the development and the implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Pl an (SWPPP). The
SWPPP identifies structural and nonstructural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be implemented, such as sandbag barriers, temporary desilting basins near inlets, gravel driveways, dust controls, employee training, and general good houseke eping practices. As described in the
2016 Final SEIR, with implementation of the applicable permit requirements and the application of BMPs specifically designed to minimize construction
-
related water quality impacts, construction of
the Approved project w
ould not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements.
During operation, the project applicant would be required to submit a Post Construction Stormwater Management Plan which identifies
Project Site
-
specific source control and trea
tment
control measures that minimize impervious surfaces to the maximum extent practicable. With the compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, Code requirements, and permit provisions, the 2016 Final SEIR determined the Approved
Project would not violate any water
quality standards or waste discharge requirements during operation and impacts would be less than significant.

h
.
Would the project conflict with or obstruct
implementation of a water quality control plan or

As described in the 2016 Final SEIR, groundwater would be source of potable water for the Approved Project and water demand for the Approved Project would be substan tially less than the
historic groundwater use at the
Project Site
. The
Project Site
is not a source of groundwater
recharge and storm water would not be required to percolate at the Project Site
to recharge area
aquifers. The 2016 Final SEIR determined the
Approved Project would not substantially deplete
groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge and the impact of the project on groundwater supplies would be less than significant.

The 2016
Final SEIR
determined that construction activities associated with the Approved Proje ct
would not exceed any of the standards of the City of Camarillo Noise Ordinance since the Project
Site
is located in a commercial and industrial area of the city and is not located in close proximity to any sensitive uses such as residences.
In addition,
the future uses at the
Project Site
would also be
subject to all applicable standards of the City of Camarillo Noise Ordinance for new sources of noise.
Therefore, the
2016
Final SEIR
concluded that the construction and operational impact of the Approved
Project would be less than significant.

(25 percent) of office uses. The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future devel opment on
the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
is
located on the same
Project Site
as the Approved Project
and
Project Site
conditions are
the same as when was analyzed in the 2016 Final SE
IR.
As such,
Project Site
is located in a
commercial and industrial area of the city and is not located in close proximity to any sensitive uses such as residences.
In addition, the future uses at the
Project Site
would also be subject to all
applicable st
andards of the City of Camarillo Noise Ordinance for new sources of noise. Therefore, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to
noise levels
beyond those identified in the 201

.
b
.
Would the project
g
enerate a substantial temporary (nonconstruction) or permanent increase in noise levels at existing sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the Project Site
?
The 2016
Final SEIR
discussed how
locations in the vicinity of the
Project Site
would experience a
slight increase in noise resulting from the additional traffic generated by the industrial project.
The
2016
Final SEIR
determined that the traffic generated by the industrial project would increase local noise levels by a maximum of 0.5
decibels A
(
dBA
)
Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL), which
would be imperceptible to most people and would not exceed the applicable thresholds of significance for the affected existing land uses.
As discussed above, the
Project Site
is located in a
commercial and industrial area of the city and
is not located in close proximity to any sensitive uses such as residences. Therefore
, the
2016
Final SEIR
determined
this
impact would be less than
significant for the Approved Project.
The Proposed Land Use

Project Site
would be subject to project level C
EQA review.
The
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
is
located on the same
Project Site
as the Approved Project
and
Project Site
conditions are
the same as when
it
was analyzed in the 2016 Final SEIR.
Similar to the Approved Project, locations
in the vicin
ity of the
Project Site
would experience a slight increase in noise resulting from the additional traffic generated by future development.
Additionally, when future
uses
are proposed
,
the
resulting
developmen
t would
create
less daily vehicular trips than
anticipated for
the Approved
Project
because
no
new
commercial uses
would be built thus,
less noise would result from
additional traffic
related to those commercial uses
. As discussed
above, the
Project Site
is located in
a
commercial and industrial area and
is not located in close proximity to any sensitive uses .
Therefore, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to
noise levels
at sensitive receptors
beyond those ident
ified in the 201
6 Final SEIR
.
c
.
Would the project
g
enerate excessive ground borne vibration?
The 2016
Final SEIR
describes how
construction activities that would occur at the
Project Site
have
the potential to generate low levels of ground
borne
vibration. However, nearby industrial uses are
not considered to be sensitive to ground
-
borne vibration and the resulting ground
-
borne vibration
levels would not exceed any adopted standards for th
ese uses. The Approved Project did not include
uses that are expected to generate measurable levels of ground borne vibration during operation.
Therefore, the greatest regular source of project
-
related ground borne vibration would be from
trucks making del
iveries and larger garbage trucks picking
-

61 project occupants. However,
because
there are no sensitive
uses
in the vicinity of the
Project Site
,
the 2016

concluded that impacts related to ground borne vibration would be less than
significant
for the Approved Project
.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88

Would the project
e
xpose people residing or working in the project area to excess ive noise
levels from aircraft operations from Camarillo Airport?
The 2016
Final SEIR
describes how the
Project Site
is located to the north of Camarillo Airport.
According to the Noise Element of the City of Camarillo General Plan, future noise levels at the
Project Site
attributable to Camarillo Airport would not exceed 65 dBA CNEL. These average noise levels would not exceed the City’s 75 dBA CNEL external noise standard for commercial, industrial, and office uses. Higher noise levels would occur when in dividual aircraft fly over the
Project Site
.
These aircraft are nearly all propeller airplanes and helicopters. These noise levels would primarily affect people walking outdoors within the
Project Site
but are not the
like
higher noise levels
associated wi
th jet aircraft that would possibly be considered to be excessive. Therefore, the 2016 Final SEIR
determined that impacts related the aircraft operations from the Camarillo Airport would be less than significant
for the Approved Project

The 2016 Final SEIR describes how the Approved Project would not require the development of new fir
e department, or police facilities. School impact fees would also mitigate potential impacts to schools to a less than significant level. Furthermore, the Approved Project would not generate substantial unforeseen employment or population growth and, there fore, impacts to park services
or other public facilities would be less than significant. Therefore, t he 2016 Final SEIR determined
that the Approved Project would result in less than significant impacts related to public services and recreation.
The Propo
sed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88

Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
does not include any development and would not require police or fire protection services. As discussed in Section 4.14,
Population an

, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would
not induce
population
growth
into the area of the Project Site
, therefore demand for school, parks
and recreation facilities, or other governmental facilities would not increase.
Additionally, a

fu
ture development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
Future
development would also be subject to school and park impact fees.
Therefore, the
Proposed Land
Use Reversion Project
would not result in new or more severe impacts related to public services and recreation beyond those identified in the 2016 Final SEIR.

The 2016
Final
SEIR found implementation of the Approved Project would not conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting
alternative transportation and no mitigation was required, impacts were less than significant.
The 2016
Final
SEIR
determined that
the Approved Project does
not include any facilities for alternative transportation, nor does it remove, replace or preclude the
use of public transportation by future
occupants or visitors to the project site
.
As described in
S
ection
4 .11
Land Use and Planning
of this document, the
Proposed Land Use
Reversion Project
would be consistent with all applicable Camarillo General Pla n Circulation Element
policies for circulation patterns and design, and alternative modes of transportation.
The Proposed
Land Use Reversion
Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88 -
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Res
earch and Development) and zoning to all L
-
M (Limited
Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 525,000 SF
(75 percent) of light industrial
uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses. The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not City of Camarillo
Proposed Land Use Rev
ersion Project
68 include
any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the Project
Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
When development projects are proposed at the
Project Site
the
applicants
would be subject to all applicable circ
ulation
and transportation plans
relevant to the Project Site
.
Therefore, implementation of the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway,
bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
b.
Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)?
CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)
, which was added to the CEQA Guidelines as part
of the update ado
pted by the State in November 2018,
defines acceptable criteria for analyzing
transportation impacts under CEQA
. It states that
land use
project
s
with vehicle miles
travel
ed
(VMT)
exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact, and that projects that decrease
VMT
compared to existing conditions should be presumed to have a less than significant transportation impact.
While the
2016
Final SEIR
did
not include
a VMT
analysis,
development under
both the
Approved
Project and the
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
constitute
infill development
,
that
would generally re
duce VMT compared to greenfield
development
(new development on lands not previously
planned for development)
.
Additionally
,
the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would result in less daily vehicular trips than the Approved Project due to the
removal of approved
commercial uses
at the Project Site, and commercial uses
generate more traff
ic than commercial retail uses
. Therefore, the Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project would
not
result in new or more severe impacts related to its potential to conflict with or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b) .
c.
Would t
he project
substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible use (e.g., farm equipment)?
The 2016 Final SEIR recommended implementation of Mitigation Measure TC -
1, which would
r
equire the developer to install a traffic signal at the intersection of West Ventura Boulevard (east
-
west segment) and “A” Street when traffic conditions warrant a signal.
The 2016 Final SEIR
concluded that Mitigation measure TC
-
1 would ensure that the int
ersection of West Ventura
Boulevard (east
-
west segment) and “A” Street would operate at LOS A and reduce the potential impact of the Approved Project to less
than
significant levels.
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of the entire 46.88
-
acre
Project Site
to Industrial (Research and Development) and zoning to all L -
M
(Limited Manufacturing) to allow for the development of up to 52 5,000
SF
(75 percent) of light
industrial uses and 175,000
SF
(25 percent) of office uses. The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the
Project Site
would be subj
ect to project level CEQA review. Since no actual
development plan
are
proposed at this time and the
internal circulation
design
at the
Project Site
is unknown,
Mitigation Measure TC
-
1 would not be applicable to the Proposed Land Use Reversion Project.
The
refore,
because there is no development proposed and future development would be subject to CEQA review,
the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project would not result in new or more severe impacts related to
hazardous design features
beyond those identified in
the 201
6 Final SEIR
.

Would the project result in inadequate emergency access?
The 2016 Final SEIR
determined that intersections and driveways providing access to the Project Site
would operate at acceptable levels of service and internal roadways and dr iveways would be
designed in accordance with all City regulations, including those pertaining to emergency access.
Consequently, emergency vehicles would not be subject to unacceptable delays entering or exiting the
Project Site
and impacts associated with
emergency access would be less than significant
for the
Approved Project
.

The 2016 Final SEIR determined describes how existing
wastewater infrastructure and treatment
facilities
, and storm drain facilities have the capacity to accommodate the Approved Project.
Therefore, impacts would be less
than significant for the Approved Project. However, the 2016 Final SEIR did not analyze impacts to
electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities .
The Proposed Land Use Reversion Project involves the reversion of the land use designation of

e Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
does not include any development or ground disturbing activities and any future development on the
Project Site
would be subject to project level CEQA review.
In
2016 the City of Camarillo City
Council adopted
Ordinance 1126 which
amends chapter 14.12 of the Camarillo Municipal Code to require
the preparation of a Water Service Impact Study and demonstrates the proposed
development
will not create additional demand on the city's water system. Although there is n o
development associated with the proposed Project, as applications for development are submitted to the City, the
City
will review historic water usage and
the Water Service Impact Study
, to
determine if offset water demand will be required.
The Proposed
Land Use Reversion Project would
not induce demand for new or increased utility services and therefore impacts related to new utilities would be less than significant.
b.
Comply with the applicable water purveyor water conservation ordinance requirements for new
development projects
?
This impact was not analyzed in the 2016

applicable water purveyor water conservation ordinance
requirements
. Therefore, impacts related to
water purveyor water conservation ordinance
requirements for new development projects
would be less th
an significant.
c.
Would the project r
esult in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitme
nts?
The 2016 Final SEIR describes how
the Camarillo Sanitary District provides sewer service to the project area. Sewage from the
Project Site
vicinity is conveyed via sewer infrastructure to the
Camarillo Wastewater Treatment Plant (C
WTP). The
2016 Final
SEIR
concluded that the CWTP had
adequate capacity to treat the wastewater that would be generated by the industrial project. It also stated that the wastewater would continue to be treated in accordance with the treatment requirements of the Los Angeles
Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Therefore, the 2016 Final
SEIR concluded that the potential impact of the Approved Project on wastewater infrastructure and treatment facilities was determined to be less than significant.

Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife population to
drop below self
-
sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examp
les of the major periods of California history or prehistory?
b.
Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when
viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
c.
Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
This section was not included in the 2016 Final SEIR
however based on the analysis provided in the
document it can be determined that there are no new circumstances that require major revisions to the 2016
Final
SEIR and ther
e is no new information resulting in new or substantially more sever e
significant impacts.
As described above in Sections 3.1 thr
ough 3.
18 , the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would
result in
no
new or more severe direct or indirect impacts beyond thos e identified in the previously
adopted
2016 F
inal
SEIR
for the
Approved
Project
.
Upon review of new development projects and
infrastructure projects that have occurred within the vicinity of the Project Site since the certification of the
2016 Final SEIR
,
n
o new reasonably foreseeable future projects have been
identified within proximity to the
Project Site
that were not previously considered in the cumulative
impacts analysis in the adopted Final
2016
F
inal
SEIR
.
Therefore, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion
Project
would have no new or more severe impacts in terms of its potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self
-
susta
ining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory
; have
po
tential
ly significant
cumulative
impacts;
or have
environmental effects causing
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
Additionally, when
development projects are proposed in the Project Site,
Mitigation measures from the adopted 2016
F
inal
SEIR
would be reduced to consider
reduc
tion of
ROC and NOx emissions
(as described in
Section 3.
3 ,
Air Quality
, of this Addendum)
, red
uc
tion of
impacts to biological resources (as
described in Section 3.4
Biological Resources
of this Addendum),
reduction of impacts to
protect
archaeological resources and human remains (as described in section 3.5 Cultural Resources and
Tribal Cultural Re
sources
of this Addendum),
and protect paleontological resources (as described in
section 3.7
Geology and Soil
of this Addendum). Overall implementation of these mitigation measures would
help prevent environmental effects causing substantial adverse effec ts on human
beings.
Conclusion
Addendum to the Subsequent Environmental Impact Report

Conclusion
As established in the
analysis
above regarding the potential
environmental
effects
that may be
generated as compared to the
Approved
Pro
ject, it is concluded that
substantial changes are not
proposed to the
Approved
Project nor have substantial changes occurred that would require major revisions to the
adopted
2016 F
inal
SEIR
prepared for the Original Project. Impacts beyond those identifi
ed and analyzed in the
adopted
2016 F
inal
SEIR
would not be expected to occur as a result of
the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
. Overall, the proposed modifications to the Original
Project that constitute the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would
result in
no
new
impact or
mitigation
information of substantial importance that would
generate
new, more severe impacts or
require
new mitigation measures
compared to those
identified for the Original Project in the
adopted Final
2016 F
inal
SEIR
.
Therefore,
the City of Camarillo
concludes that the analyses conducted and the conclusions reached and the mitigation measures adopted
in the
2016 F
inal
SEIR
,
adopted
on
September
28, 2016
by the
Camarillo City Council
, remain valid. As such, the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would not
result in conditions identified in
State CEQA Guidelines
Section 15162
requiring
Subsequent
environmental review or a Subsequent EIR
, and these
are therefore
not required for the
Proposed
Land Use Reversion
Project.
It can be emphasized
that the
Proposed Land Use Reversion Project
would
remain s
ubject to all previously
adopted
mitigation measures
included in
the
adopted Final
2016 SEIR
for the
Ap
proved
Project.
The M
itigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program
adopted for
the
Approved
Project on
September 28, 2016
,
would
remain
applicable to the
Proposed Land Use
Reversion Project
.
Based on the above analysis, this Addendum to the previously adopted
2016
F
inal
SEIR
for the project
has been prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the State CEQA
Guidelines
.
