4. pETFBgilNArLqry.pF FRpJEcr wArER DEMAN,P
Under the City's Water Conservation Code, significant new devolopment that requires new potable water service must prepare a water impact study to ensure that such new demand does not impact existing City water customers. The water impact study is prepared and submitted as part of the project's planning application phase.
Under this Program, an Eligible Project's water impact study will generally be used to determine a project's Water Demand for the purposes of calculating the project's Water Demand Credit Requirement, subject to adjustment as described in Section 5 below.
As guídance for ostablishing a project's Water Demand, the City Council has adopted the "Maiimum Project Water Demand Schedule," which is attached as F$ibit 1. The Schedule establishes water demand levels in acre feet per year for specific types of residential uses.
These demand levels will serve as default or maximum levels, unless an applicant can demonstrate based on substantial evidence, including the Eligible Project's approved water impact study, that the Project has incorporated additional water conservation measures or water saving devices within the Project that will reduce demand below these levels.
As provided in the Maximum Project Water Demand Schedule, the maximum or default Water Demand levels for commercial, industrial and other non-residential projects wíll be based on the Eligible Project's approved water impact study, subject to adjustment as described below in Section 5 below.
5. DETFRMTNAnON OF PROJEpT,WATER DEMAND CREDIT RËQUIREMEIYT The Clty Council has established the amount set forth in Exhibit 2 as the expenditure necessary to provide water saving features, fixtures, and other water conservation measures and incentives in ordor to achieve the equivalent water savings of one acre foot per year ("Water Credit Amount"), An Eligible Project's Water Demand will be multiplied by the Water Credit Amount to deterrnine the monetary amount necessary to offset the Project's Water Demand under the Water Conseryation Code (the "Water Demand Credit Requirement"), ln short, the formula is as follows:
Water Demand x Water Credit Amount = Water Demand Credit Requirement.
By way of example, an Ëligible Project with a Water Demand of 3 acre feet per year would have a Water Demand Credit Requirement of $26,475 (3 AF x $8,825 = $26,475), A smaller Eligible
CAM #4835-5992-6057 v3
Project wlth a Water Demand of .80 acre feet per year would have a Water Demand Credit Requirement of $7,060 {.80 AF x $8,825 * $7,060).
Upon the written request of an applicant, the Administrator will provide a determination of the Ëligible Project's Water Demand and the resulting calculation of the Project's Water Demand Credit Requirement, ln determining the Water Demand, the Administrator will consíder the Maxirnum Project Water Demand Schedule, the Elígible Project's approved water impact study, and will also consider all substantial evidence presented by the applicant of: (1) any binding modifications to the project to provide non-required water savings foatures that were not included as part of the project at the time the water impact study was approved, (2) any agreements with existing City water users to retrofit existlng improvements and facilities with water savings features, (3) any transfers of pumping rights or allocations that comply with Groundwater Sustainability Plan strategies adopted by the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency and are immediately available for use by the city; or (4) credit for historic water use by a municipal or industrial customer served water prior January 1,2014.
The Administrator will provide the determination of a project's Water Demand Credit Requirement within 10 days of receipt of a completo applicatíon, The applicant will then have 10 days to review the determination and provide any reeponse or sqpplemental information to the Administrator.
The Administrator will then have an additional 5 days to review guch information and provide a finalwritten determination to the applicant. lf the applicant is dissatisfied with the Administrator's determination of the project Water Demand or the Water Demand Credit Requirement, the applicant may submit a written request for review to the Director setting fotlh the reasons why the applicant disagrees with the Adminístrator's determination. The Director may schedule a meeting with the applicant and the Administrator to try to resolve the dispute. Unless a time extension is agreed lo by the applicant, the Director will issue a decision on the request for review within 15 days of the City's receipt of the request. The decision of the Director will be final.
6. tssqANcE oF wtLL-sERvE LETTER
An Eligible Project applicant for new water service must (a) satisfy the Project's Water Demand Credit Requirement, (b) have approved public works construction plans, and (c) demonstrate readiness to obtain a grading permit prior to receiving a will-serve letter for a new potable water service connection.
7. Esrallg"çH,[IHNI pr, WALEF DEMANP çAËD|T FUÌ{p
All sums paid by Eligible Project applicants to satisfy a Project's Water Demand Credit Requirernent will be deposited by the City into a separate account dosignated the "Water Demand Gredit Fund." The amounts in the Water Demand Gredit Fund may only be used by the City for expenditures related to the City's support of water conservation programs, including related administrative costs.
L CrrY rpFNJrFlqATrON OF WAT.FR GONSERVATI9{ PROGRAMS
The Administratorwill identify, subject to approval by the Director and City Manager, appropriate water conservation programs for the expenditure of the amounts in the Water Demand Credit Fund. Such programs may include participation in existing water conservation programs offered by other public entities (e.9., the Metropolitan Water District and the Cafleguas Municipal Water District) or the Administrator may assist the City in establishing its own water conservation programs. Such water conservation progrâms may include, but are not limited to: subsidies for

THE CAMARILLO TUIUN¡CIPAL CODE
The City Council of the City of Camarillo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. Findlngs. The City Councilfinds as follows:
A. On November 4, 2015, the Gity Council of the City of Camarillo ('City') adopted Ordinance No, 1116, which amended the water conservation measures contained in Chapter
14.12 of the Carnarillo Municipal Code to address existing drought conditions, B. Concurrent with the adoption of Ordinance No. 1 1 16, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2015-127, which established a "Water Ðemand Credit Program" and related maximum project water demand schedule and water credit amount in order to provide a temporary mechanism for development with existing entitlements to offset its water demand should such development elect to utilize the Water Demand Credit Program in order to receive approval for new potable water service connections.
C. On July 27,2016,1he City Council adopted Ordinance No, 1126, which amends and restates Chapter 14.12. Among the amendments to Chapter 14.12 is the requirement that significant new development projects must provide substantial evidence of an enforceable commitment that the water demand for the project will be offset prior to the provision of a potable water will-serve letter.
D. ïhe City desires to adopt a Water Demand Offset Program to assist in the implementation of this water demand offset requirement.
SECTION 2. Envlronmental Flndlngs. The City Councilexercises its independent judgment and finds that the enactment of this resolution is exempt from the California EnvironmentalQuality Act ("CEQA") under the CEQA Guidelines (Chapter 3 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations beginning at Section 15000), specifically, Section 15307, which exempts "action taken by regulatory agencies ... to assure the maintenance, restoration, and enhancement of a natural resource," because the action taken in adopting this Resolution will help maintaÍn water resources; Section 1õ061(bX3), because the adoption of thís Resolution will implement a regulatory process that will not foreseeably result in construction or other physical activities, either directly or indirectly, and that therefore the enactment of this Resolution does not have the potential to result in any significant effects on the environment; Section 15269(c), as an action necessary to mitigate the State's drought emergency; and Section 15378(bX4), which exempts government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
SECTION 3. Adoption of the Water Demand Offset Program. The City Council hereby adopts the Water Demand Offset Program as set forth in the attached Exhibit A.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Resolution will take effect immediately upon its adoption.
SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk is directed to ceilify the passage of this Resolution.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The adopted building and fire code is the 2019 California Building Codes (CBC) with County amendments.
An on-site water storage tank is not required. The City water supply is adequate to meet fire department fire flow requirements.
Hydrant Location Plans: Hydrant location plans shall be submitted to the Fire Prevention Bureau prior to installation of hydrants. Do not place the proposed hydrants on the site plan. The fire Prevention Bureau will place the proposed hydrants based on the criteria of Standard 14.5.3 (VCFD Standard 14.5.3, Chapter 3). Fire hydrants shall be provided prior to and during the time of construction. Hydrants shall be accessible and visible from a required access road.
A fire booster pump is not required.
A full area smoke detection system is not required.
During construction, all utilities within the required width of the apparatus access roads shall be installed prior to introducing combustible materials to the site or commencing vertical construction (Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD) Standard 501, Section 11.1.1. Prior to and throughout vertical construction, driveways, inclusive of turnarounds, required for fire apparatus access shall have base material capable of supporting 20-ton vehicle, during most weather conditions, installed and compacted to 95% relative compaction at a minimum of 12 feet wide (VCFD Standard 501 Section 11.2). Prior to starting vertical construction fire apparatus access roads shall be installed (VCFD Standard 501 Section
11.3). Fire apparatus access roads shall be a minimum un-obstructed width of 20 feet. At a minimum the surface of fire apparatus access roads shall be as follows:
1. Minimum 6 inches of native soil compacted to 95% relative compaction.
2. Minimum 4 inches of aggregate base compacted to 100% relative compaction.
OR
3. First lift of AC pavement with required aggregate base in accordance with the public road standards or registered engineers design requirements.
Currently, an emergency responder radio coverage evaluation and testing will not be required by a third party. The County of Ventura may adopt the requirement for an emergency responder radio coverage evaluation by a third party in the future, therefore an allowance in the green ink process is suggested.

MEMORANDUM
Kittelson & Associates, Inc.
Memorandum
Costco Wholesale is proposing to develop a new Costco warehouse and Costco fuel station on property in the northeast corner of Springville Drive and West Ventura Boulevard as part of the previously approved Amara Shopping Center in Camarillo, California.
This memorandum presents a quantitative trip generation and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis conducted for the proposed Camarillo Costco Warehouse and fuel station (the proposed Project) and remaining approved shopping center uses, compared to the VMT of the previously approved Amara Shopping Center. This analysis was completed to support technical studies for transportation, air quality, noise, and studies reliant on quantifying the proposed Project’s expected change in trip patterns, considering the proposed Project’s change on VMT for existing nearby Costcos.
This document is comprised of two sections –
Trip Generation – a trip generation analysis was conducted to estimate daily trips associated with the previously approved Amara shopping center, as well as daily trips associated with the proposed Project and the remaining approved shopping center uses. VMT Analysis – a quantitative VMT analysis was completed using Costco transaction data to determine the proposed Project’s potential changes to regional VMT considering member shifts from nearby Costco sites. This analysis also includes a VMT estimate for the remaining shopping center uses and for the previously approved Amara shopping center.
TRIP GENERATION
Approved Shopping Center Trip Generation
A Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared and adopted for the Amara Shopping Center in 2016 (Reference 1). The project reviewed at the time was a commercial shopping center consisting of up to 499,000 square feet of building area. A trip generation estimate was prepared for the Amara Shopping Center based on previous analysis prepared in support of the 2016 Subsequent MND (Reference 2), as well as standard pass-by and diverted trip rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition (Reference 3). Table 1 shows the daily trip generation estimated for the approved Amara shopping center.

Trip Generation
The proposed Project will occupy up to 163,400 square feet within the approved Amara Shopping Center.
The trip generation estimate previously prepared for the proposed Costco Warehouse and Costco Fuel Station (Reference 4) did not contemplate future development of the remaining approved 335,600 square feet of shopping center, or the associated internal capture of trips between the two. Table 2 shows the combined daily trip generation estimated for the proposed Costco Warehouse and Costco fuel station and remaining approved shopping center.

Table 3 provides a summary of the primary trip ends for the proposed Project, further divided into estimated truck trips, employee trips and member trips. These estimates assume a total of 19 daily truck deliveries and a total of 300 employees on-site over the course of a typical day, each of whom are assumed to complete two daily trips (one entering, one exiting).

VMT ANALYSIS
Approved Shopping Center VMT
The VMT associated with the approved Amara Shopping Center were estimated using the following assumptions:
The average primary trip length was assumed to be approximately 7.76 miles. The average primary trip length is the calculated weighted average of trip lengths of employees traveling in either direction between a work location and all other locations that are not home (Work-Other (W-O)) and trips made by a person traveling in either direction between land uses that do not involve home and work locations (Other-Other (O-O) from the Ventura County Transportation Model (VCTM) in the study area.
The average diverted trip length was assumed to be 2.0 miles, the assumed default value given in the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEmod). The distance reflects the anticipated diversion distances from US 101.
Pass-by trip lengths are assumed to be 0.1 miles, the assumed default value given in CalEEmod. The distance reflects the anticipated pass-by distances from Ventura Boulevard. Because information regarding the number of employees for the proposed shopping center is unavailable, all primary trips were conservatively assumed to be made by customers (7.75 average trip length). In reality, employment-based trip lengths may be longer, thereby resulting in a higher VMT.
Table 4 presents the VMT estimate for the approved Amara shopping center.
Table 4. VMT Estimate – Approved Amara Shopping Center
Number of Trips Average Trip Length (miles) Daily VMT
Primary Trips 10,811 7.7564 83,854
Pass-by Trips 3,668 0.1 367
Diverted Trips 4,827 2.0 9,654

Note that the VMT analyzed in the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions analysis for the 2016 Subsequent MND was 89,421 daily VMT, which is lower than the estimated 93,875 daily VMT for the approved Amara shopping center under current assumptions. For a conservative analysis, the estimated VMT of the proposed Project will be compared to the 89,421 daily VMT in the GHG analysis for the 2016 Subsequent MND.
Proposed Project and Remaining Shopping Center
VMT
This VMT analysis estimates the change in regional VMT associated with the proposed Project. VMT was calculated for different trip types including those made by existing Costco members, anticipated new Costco members, Costco employees, and internal trips between Costco and the remaining approved shopping center uses. Delivery-based trips are excluded from the VMT assessment per statewide guidance related to VMT analysis for the movement of freight.
The following components comprise the change in regional VMT that can be attributed to the proposed Project:
Existing Member VMT
o Shifting Trips – a portion of the proposed Project primary member trip ends shown in Table 3 are expected to be a change from existing Costco trips currently taken to three existing Costcos in the area that would now make a trip to the proposed Project instead because it is closer or more convenient. The VMT associated with this shifting of trips was calculated using member transaction data provided by Costco.
o Latent Demand – existing Costco members may visit the existing nearby warehouses more frequently due to latent demand that would occur after some members shift to the new warehouse and the existing warehouses become less busy. New Member VMT – estimated VMT associated with new Costco members visiting the new warehouse
Employee VMT – estimated VMT associated with employees at the new warehouse Internal Trips VMT – estimated VMT associated with trips internally captured between the new warehouse and the remaining approved shopping center uses. Total Project VMT = changes in existing member VMT + new member VMT + employee VMT + Truck VMT + Internal Trips VMT
The VMT analysis was conducted using the following proprietary data provided by Costco:
Approximate home locations of Costco members who shopped at the following three existing warehouses in the project area during September 2022, grouped into 1-square-mile zones:
o 2001 Ventura Boulevard, Oxnard (“Oxnard”)
o 2660 Park Center Drive, Simi Valley (“Simi Valley”)
o 5700 Lindero Canyon Road, Westlake Village (“Westlake Village”) Number of visits to the three existing Costco warehouses in September 2022 by members in each 1- square-mile zone.
Market areas of the three existing Costco warehouses (for current markets and for after the new warehouse opens) and projected market area for the new warehouse.
August 2023 Page 5
Camarillo Costco – Daily Trip Generation and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Kittelson & Associates, Inc.
Average annual visit frequency for other Costco warehouses in California, before and after a new warehouse was opened nearby.
The VMT associated with the proposed Project were estimated using the following trip lengths:
Average primary trip length for new members was calculated to average approximately 6.2 miles Average diverted trip length was calculated to be approximately 0.7 miles and reflects the anticipated average change in trip length for vehicles traveling along US 101. Pass-by trip lengths are assumed to be 0.1 miles and reflect the anticipated pass-by distances from Ventura Boulevard.
Average trip length for employees was determined using VCTM VMT Maps and Spreadsheet estimated 2016 VMT per employee metric (23.7) within the transportation analysis zone (TAZ) in which the site is located1.
Internal trip lengths are assumed to be 0.25 miles and reflect the internal trip distances between the Costco and remaining approved shopping center uses.
Table 5 shows the expected daily VMT associated with the Project, as well as its impact to regional Costco VMT (including the nearby Oxnard, Simi Valley, and Westlake Village locations). As shown in the table, the Project is anticipated to increase regional Costco VMT by approximately 31,557 miles. This value represents the projected VMT increase prior to accounting for VMT associated with the approved Amara shopping center.

RE: Costco Development
Dear Councilmembers,
The Ventura Audubon Society ƚĂŬĞƐŝƐƐƵĞǁŝƚŚ the proposed Camarillo Costco development. We are concerned about the impact the project will have on local wildlife ĂŶĚůŽƐƐŽĨŽƉĞŶƐƉĂĐĞ. Bird populations are falling all over the United States; three billion birds have been lost in the U.S. and Canada since the 1970’s (State of Birds Report 2022; StateoftheBirds.org).
The proposed Costco site is a foraging ground for red-tailed hawks and other raptors, habitat for redwinged blackbirds and ƐŽŶŐďŝƌĚƐ;ƐƉĂƌƌŽǁƐ͕ƉŝƉŝƚƐ͕ŐŽůĚĨŝŶĐŚ͕ ĞƚĐ͘ͿĂŶĚŽƚŚĞƌŐƌŽƵŶĚďŝƌĚƐ;ĚŽǀĞƐ͕ ƉŝŐĞŽŶƐͿƚŚĂƚĨŽƌĂŐĞĂŶĚƉŽƚĞŶƚŝĂůůLJŶĞƐƚƚŚĞƌĞ͘ /ƚŝƐ known to provide habitat for special status species including western burrowing owl and horned lark. Because of the development that is already in progress north of the 101, and the eventual development of the second field on Springville Drive and Ventura Road, we are concerned that birds will abandon the areaĂŶĚƚŚĞŝŶĐƌĞĂƐŝŶŐůŽƐƐŽĨŽƉĞŶƐƉĂĐĞ.
We contend it is inadequate to rely on the EIR conducted in 2008 to address current biological impacts of the proposed project because the biological survey upon which the assessment is based is 19 years old (conducted in January 2004). Furthermore, it provides inadequate data because it was conducted in winter when there are the lowest levels of flora and fauna activity. Spring is the optimal season for biological field surveys for projects where only one survey is conducted. Additionally, listing status of plants and animals have changed in the nearly 2 decades since 2004 and this information needs to be updated in the assessment.
A new CEQA-level assessment is necessary to determine potential impacts to and mitigation for biological resources. This assessment must be based on a current field survey along with updated literature review and regulatory analysis. Additional issues including habitat loss, greenhouse gases, night lighting, traffic, air pollution, and cumulative impacts must also be studied. We ask that a focused EIR or mitigated negative declaration be conducted to study these impacts. At a minimum, a new initial study should be prepared.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Respectfully,

Comments Dear Commissioners,
I am opposed to the Costco project going through as planned.
I urge you to require that an EIR be conducted. This is a massive project that will exceed allowable emissions for air pollution, yet no EIR is being conducted. There will be huge impacts on traffic, air pollution, emergency response times, and local wildlife. Please don't rush this process.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Subject: Need For Environmental Impact Report (EIR) re Inadequate Costco MND Date: Saturday, November 18, 2023 4:17:23 PM
Absent from the Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) regarding the proposed Costco
project is an in depth analysis of how the proposed Costco and its mega gas station will affect the quality of life of nearby residents.
Figure 11 (P. 43) of the MND ( Photo attached) illustrates the close proximity of about 1,200 apartments, townhomes, and single family homes built on nearly 174 acres east of Springville Drive just across the 101 Freeway from the proposed project. When the City approved the 2007 original plan, that area just across the Freeway was a strawberry field and the City did not require an EIR. Since then, in its various Declarations regarding the proposed commercial site, the City has ignored any likely adverse impacts a car-magnet Costco would have on nearby residents. One of those apartment buildings is home to hundreds of lowincome seniors.
Though the report repeatedly states that there are indeed two entrances to the site from Ventura Boulevard, the MND overlooks routes that one has to travel to get there. Will drivers choose to take Ponderosa to avoid the dreaded Las Posas-Ventura Boulevard intersection? Will southbound traffic on Earl Joseph escalate, impacting residents wishing to take Ponderosa to exit the Springville development? How will increased traffic on the 101 affect those wishing to exit at the Springville off ramp?
The addtion of a mega gas station is most distressing. There is no need for another gas station.
One has recently been approved on Arneill Road and another is planned for Ralph's empty corner lot on Las Posas. The area on the Costco site where 42 vehicles will sit idling waiting for their turn at the pump and spewing pollution into the atmosphere is located in the "most remote area of the site," just next to the freeway, directly across the nearby residential area.
We don't need the additional pollutants.
The residents who will be affected by the proposed project deserve to have an INDEPENDENT EIR requiring a comprehensive study and analysis of impacts to traffic, air, existing businesses, and property values.

Dear Jaclyn,
I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the Second Subsequent MND for the Costco project and Mega Gas Station in Camarillo. I strongly believe that the scale and nature of this development necessitate a comprehensive Independent Environmental Impact Report to thoroughly assess potential environmental impacts. I cannot imagine the addition of another gas station, let alone a Mega Gas Station, in our small city will not have a negative impact on residents' quality of life, traffic, commute and emergency response times, soil, air, water, wildlife, existing businesses, etc. We already have at least 4 or 5 gas stations within a 2 mile radius from the Costco project site. The addition of a Mega Gas Station seems overkill.
Also, with California heading to fully electric vehicles by 2035 why would we want to add a Mega Gas Station to our city?
Please take my and my neighbors concerns into consideration when reviewing this project and the impact it will have on our community.
Thank you,
Nomi Park

Please stop the proposed building of Costco in Camarillo. It will impact my neighborhood directly. The giant home construction project by Springville has increased mega-ton truck traffic significantly at all hours. We do not want delivery trucks on our residential streets due to the noise and pollution. The small windy road has a 10 Mph hairpin turn. It is unsafe for the amount of people that will are already residing here Soon, many more people will be moving into the new homes. There are many conveniences and supermarkets, gas stations in this area. We have Costco in Oxnard and it is very busy by all accounts. Accidents happen daily, and the noise is at an unhealthy high decibel reading. We don’t need more buildibg in this part of Camarillo. Please protect the limited safety and health we have left. The gas station alone will pollute the land; people may get sick or worse from the impact of this project. Please consider the community concerns before allowing this project to continue.

Dear Jacqueline and the Camarillo Planning Commission,
I dove into the Camarillo Costco Draft Second Subsequent MND 2023-4 and have several areas of concern that would also seem to be of concern to the Camarillo Planning Commission.
Pg. 11 - There would be four covered fueling bays, each with four gas pumps which fuel two cars each. This results in 16 fueling dispensers that would provide a fueling capacity for 32 cars at a time. A proposed stacking area provides space for an additional 42 cars waiting to get to a fueling position. - see comment on "hotspot" below Pg. 12 - Four underground fuel tanks would be installed with the gas station. Specifically, there would be two 40,000-gallon regular gas tanks, one 40,000-gallon premium gas tank, and one 1,500-gallon fuel additive tank. - this is in addition to the fuel tanks already in place at 112 existing gas pumps along the main Camarillo arteries of Las Posas, Carmen and Arneill, plus those being installed at the 16 NEW gas pumps already approved on the corner of Las Posas Plaza and in the KMart redevelopment site. (see map at end) Pg. 14 - The preliminary site plan provides a total of 901 parking stalls, including 19 handicapped accessible stalls and 181 stalls for electric vehicles. Of the 181 electric vehicle stalls, 46 stall would provide electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at first occupancy while the remaining 135 stalls would provide electrical infrastructure for the future installation of EVSE.
Only 5% of the 901 parking stalls would have EV charging infrastructure (901 minus the 46 initial EV charging spots = 855 parking spots w/o EV charging) Pg. 34

The Lead Agency quantified the Proposed Project’s regional operational emissions in the Draft EIR. Based on this analysis, the Lead Agency found that the Proposed Project’s unmitigated regional operational air quality impacts would be significant for NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions at 60 lbs/day and 76 lbs/day12, respectively, which would exceed South Coast AQMD’s regional operational air quality CEQA significance thresholds for NOx and VOCs at 55 lbs/day. The exceedance of NOx emissions would be primarily due to mobile sources visiting the Proposed Project during operation13, while the exceedance of VOCs emissions would be primarily due to gasoline dispensing operations14 .
The Lead Agency is committed to implementing operational MM-AQ-2, which requires that the project applicant provide preferential parking for clean air vehicles and offer transit subsidies for all employees of the Proposed Project for three to six months15 . Implementation of MM-AQ2 may be effective at mitigating the Proposed Project’s operational NOx and VOCs emissions, but was not able to reduce those emissions to less than significant levels.
Therefore, the Proposed Project’s regional air quality impacts from operational NOx and VOC emissions would remain significant and unavoidable at 60 lbs/day and 76 lbs/day, respectively16 .
In the Draft EIR, the Lead Agency identified South Coast AQMD as a Responsible Agency for the Proposed Project20 and included a discussion of compliance with applicable South Coast AQMD Rules, including, but not limited to, Rule 431.2 – Sulfur Content of Liquid Fuels21 and Rule 461 – Gasoline Transfer and Dispensing22. The Final EIR should also include a discussion of compliance with other applicable South Coast AQMD Rules, including but not limited to, Rule 201 – Permit to Construct 23, Rule 203 – Permit to Operate24 , and Rule 1401 – New Source Review of Toxic Air Containments25 .
Since the gasoline service station of the Proposed Project will include 32 fueling pumps and has an annual throughput of 26 million gallons of gasoline, it is important that mobile source emissions from operation of the gasoline service station are fully and adequately evaluated in the air quality analysis in the Final EIR. 2. Recommended Revisions to Existing Project Design Features (PDFs)-AQ/GHG-1 and -AQ/GHG-2 In the Draft EIR, the Lead Agency is committed to installing 17 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Proposed Project.
Three EV charging stations will be installed in the warehouse parking lot, and the remaining 14 stations will be installed in the parking lot for retail uses27. Since the Proposed Project will result in significant and unavoidable long-term air quality impacts from VOCs and NOx emissions, and to further reduce those emissions, South Coast AQMD staff recommends that the Lead Agency strengthen the existing project design features to include additional EV charging stations in the Final EIR. The recommended revisions to PDFs-AQ/GHG-1 and - AQ/GHG-2 are in strikethrough and underlines as follows. PDF-AQ/GHG-1 and PDFAQ/GHG-2 Require at least six percent of the Proposed Project’s 1,215 vehicle parking spaces (or 73 parking spaces) to include EV charging stations, four of which shall be tied to solar source from the roofs of two buildings at the time of opening, or at a minimum, require the Proposed Project to be constructed with the appropriate infrastructure to facilitate sufficient electric charging for passenger vehicles and trucks to plug-in. Electrical hookups should be provided onsite for trucks to plug in any onboard auxiliary equipment. Electrical panels should be appropriately sized to allow for future expanded use. The Lead Agency should also include analyses to evaluate and identify sufficient power available for passenger vehicles, zero emission trucks, and supportive infrastructures (e.g., EV charging stations) in the Energy and Utilities and Service Systems Sections of the Final EIR, where appropriate.

16 Technology is transforming the transportation sector at a rapid pace. Cleaner trucks such as ZE or NZE trucks are increasingly more feasible and commercially available as technology advances. If using ZE or NZE trucks as a mitigation measure to reduce the Proposed Project’s operational air quality impacts is not feasible today, cleaner trucks could become feasible in a reasonable period of time within the lifetime of the Proposed Project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15364). Therefore, it is recommended that the Lead Agency develop a process with performance standards to deploy the lowest emission technologies and incentivize the use of ZE or NZE heavy-duty trucks during operation (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4(a)). The Lead Agency can and should develop the performance standards as follows or any other comparable standards in the Final EIR.
• Develop a minimum amount of ZE or NZE heavy-duty trucks that the Proposed Project must use during each year of the operation to ensure adequate progress. Include this requirement in the Proposed Project’s tenant selection and operation management bid documents and business agreement.
• Establish a tenant/truck operator(s) selection policy that prefers tenant/truck operator(s) who can supply the use of ZE or NZE heavy-duty trucks at the Proposed Project. Include this policy in the bid documents and business agreement.
• Develop a target-focused and performance-based process and timeline to review the feasibility to implement the use of ZE or NZE heavy-duty trucks during operation. Include this process and timeline in the Proposed Project’s tenant selection and operation management bid documents and business agreement.
• Develop a project-specific process and criteria for periodically assessing progress in implementing the use of ZE or NZE heavy-duty trucks during operation. Include this process and criteria in the Proposed Project’s tenant selection and operation management bid documents and business agreement.

Localized areas where ambient concentrations exceed national and/or state standards for CO are termed CO “hotspots.”
The greatest potential for a CO hotspot to occur in Ventura County today is at the roadway edge of a very congested intersection.
It would seem that the 42 car "stacking area" waiting for gas should be evaluated as an equivalent to a "very congested intersection". It is not considered in the carbon monoxide analysis

19 Airport emissions, Costco parking and gas line "stacking", and the often congested 101 freeway traffic, ride the onshore ocean air currents towards Springville (sensitive receptor area) and Spanish Hills neighborhoods. This mix of significant emissions should be cumulatively analyzed for air quality impacts.
Over 1350 housing units are in the Springville Specific Plan...many are starter homes for new families with young children. Springville Park is less than 1/2 mi from the Costco site.
The uphill neighborhoods of Spanish Hills, the Spanish Hills Park tennis courts, golf course, homes on the upslope were not evaluated for cumulative air quality impacts Pg. 114
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 in the southern part of the site attributable to Camarillo Airport would not exceed 65 dBA CNEL Responses to Comments

Here are the noise "footprints" for various aircraft...in general, the larger the aircraft the larger noise footprint
Costco proximity is noted with a red dot. The outer dark blue contour represents 85 db SEL.
It is critically important at this point in time to fully, cumulatively, evaluate the development projects that are being considered for this area, and specifically, the impacts they will have in total on the Springville and Spanish Hills neighborhoods.

Department of Community Development
Attention: Jaclyn Lee, Planning Manager
601 Carmen Drive
Camarillo CA 93010
Dear Ms. Lee,
We are an unassociated group of Camrillo and Ventura County residents, neighbors and merchants who have concerns about Costco’s plans to build a new 160,000 sq. ft. warehouse, tire center, and 32 pump fuel station, on 12 acres of open space at the corner of Springville Drive and W. Ventura Blvd. in Camarillo.
Please accept into the public record, and for the City’s consideration and response(s), our comments on the Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 (hereafter referred to as “SSMND”).
We strongly disagree with Cadence Environmental Consultant’s determination that no new significant impacts were identified that would require the preparation of a subsequent Environmental Impact Report.
On the contrary, we believe that the SSMND is ripe with errors and relies on faulty data and analysis that raises more questions than answers. Specifically, as it relates to estimated project impacts to traffic, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), air quality and CO2 emissions, and noise/light pollution.
We also believe that it is not only reasonable, but responsible, to demand that the city require that a comprehensive Environmental Impact Report (EIR) be conducted by an independent third party, so that neighbors will know the true impacts this project will have on their daily lives and on traffic, commute and emergency response times, pollution (air, water, noise and light), public safety, wildlife and birds that live on the property, and for existing businesses and jobs in the surrounding neighborhood.
The fact that a comprehensive EIR has not been carried out for this project site since before 2007, when it was converted from agricultural uses and cultivation to commercial retail uses, is unconscionable, given the scope and scale of the proposed Costco and Amara shopping center development and the significant impacts it would have on the surrounding community, residents, environment and wildlife.
The original project called for a massive commercial shopping center, and no fuel station, that only required an MND, not an EIR, that was approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, back in 2007.
When that proposed development fell through, the project was later modified back in 2016 (the Amara Shopping Center project) and the city determined then that the proposed Amara shopping center (again, with no fuel station proposed or studied), required only a subsequent MND, no EIR, which was approved by the Planning Commission (no Council review or action) in 2016 as the Final Subsequent MND. The 2016 Final Subsequent MND anticipated a 452K sq ft. Kohls anchored shopping center, but that project ultimately fell through as well.
Here we are now in November 2023, seven (7) years after the Final Subsequent MND was approved by the Planning Commission, faced with a proposal and plans for a very different project that calls for development of a new 163,177-square-foot, one-story Costco Wholesale retail building and free-standing Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
23 fuel facility with 16 dispensers (i.e., 32 fueling positions) and a parking lot consisting of approximately 901 stalls on the eastern 20 acres of the project site. The project application and SSMND also assesses a future “second phase” of the Amara Shopping Center that would include the remaining 335,823 square feet of building area of the approved 499,000 square feet of commercial space in the western portion of the project site.
The proposed development before the city is vastly different in scope and scale than what was proposed back in 2007, and more recently, in 2016. Specifically, the addition of the proposed 32-pump fuel station, with four massive underground tanks, should in and of itself, require a conditional use permit and an EIR since a fuel station, let alone one of this massive size, was not studied nor considered as part of the uses and approvals granted by the City for the subject property in 2007 and 2016, under the Final MND (2007) and Final Subsequent MND (2016), respectively.
It is clear that this is a wholly different proposed development and use, charading as a shadow of the project(s) for a single shopping center that was approved back in 2007 and 2016, respectively. It appears that the developer is simply tacking on a “second phase” of the Amara shopping center, to be included in the SSMND, to avoid having to conduct an EIR and new, separate studies and analysis, beyond what little is required in a Subsequent MND. Case in point, no applications, plans or uses for the “second phase” of the Amara shopping center have been submitted for the City’s consideration, so how can these impacts be properly assessed in the SSMND for this project when there is no Amara shopping center project being proposed or considered? This appears to be a new and standalone project with a major new use, a massive fuel station, never properly studied nor considered by the City.
An EIR is also called for to ensure that the City considers alternative plans for the site that do not include an unstudied fuel station and a two phased commercial retail development vs. a single connected shopping center. Furthermore, all the cumulative impacts from the many new developments, housing and construction that has since come to fruition in between and surrounding Ventura Blvd. and Springville Drive, have not adequately been assessed and studied, nor mitigations considered, as it relates to this project and cumulative impacts to VMTs, CO2 emissions, noise/light pollution and public safety.
For example, the City just approved a major expansion of the Camarillo airport, and there is a 47-acre property, proximate to the project site, that anticipates the development of an additional 268,500 square feet of commercial uses and 198,767 square feet of industrial and/or office uses. Where is the in-depth study and analysis of all these cumulative impacts for residents to review and assess so that they can make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase a home near all of this proposed construction and development?
Traffic
Given the major impacts that the proposed development is anticipated to have on traffic, VMTs and commute times in the surrounding area, we demand that the City require comprehensive study and analysis of project impacts to traffic by an independent third party, preferably as part of a much-needed EIR.
We take exception to the fact that the bulk of the data that the City is relying on in the SSMND, as it relates to traffic, is coming from a firm, Kittleson & Associates, that has conducted numerous traffic impact studies Responses to Comments

With that said, we also object to the “fuzzy math” and analysis being used and relayed in the SSMND that tries to curtail and hide the true impacts that this massive development will have on traffic, VMTs and commute and emergency response times in the surrounding area. Specifically, trying to decrease the estimated number of new daily vehicle trips the project will generate (and that will very much impact the thousands of residents who live just north of the project site), by using unvetted (by an independent third party) data from Costco that discounts Camarillo based trips currently traveled to nearby Costco properties in other communities, to ultimately whittle that massive figure (16,239 trips) down to a laughable rough one-third of that estimated figure (5,963 trips). And all of this is being done using formulas, as opposed to current observed traffic studies in the field on peak days and times in the year.
While we don’t disagree that some Camarillo shoppers headed to Costco outside of our community will likely shop at a new proposed Costco store in Camarillo instead of driving out of town to do so, and that those averted trips may therefore slightly decrease the number of regional vehicle trips made by capturing Camarillo Costco shoppers, those same trips from other parts of Camarillo (16,239 trips) going to other Costco stores will instead all be converging on the new site and impacting all of the neighbors who live north of the site. Add in the 14,918 vehicle trips magically assumed from the non-existent plans for the “second phase” of the Amara shopping center, and you have 31,157 daily vehicle trips per day on the roads surrounding the project site. How does this not call for more thorough study and mitigation measures to offset these impacts? Common sense alone dictates that 31,157 vehicle trips per day is very much going to impact traffic, commute and emergency response times, and carbon emissions in the surrounding neighborhoods. This issue needs more independent study.

25 Furthermore, the proposed project calls for a free-standing 32-pump fuel facility that was not envisioned for in the Amara Shopping Center plans. In addition, the vehicle trip generation characteristics of the proposed Costco are different than the trip generation assumptions for a shopping center as evaluated in Final MND 2006-17 and Subsequent MND 2016-1, and the URBan EMISsions (URBEMIS) model used to estimate air pollutant emissions in Final MND 2006-17 has been replaced with the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). It is clear that a wholly different standard for assessing development impacts to traffic, as it relates to CEQA, has been mandated since the Final MND and Final Subsequent MND for this project site were approved back in 2007 and 2016, respectively. Simply putting in the old data from the 2007 and 2016 MNDs into new formulas to meet these new requirements is inadequate and requires more thorough review and actual field analysis and study.
Pollution
According to the City of Camarillo CEQA Environmental Guidelines, a potentially significant impact would occur if the project generates an increase of 25 pounds per day or more of operational emissions of ROC and/or NOx. As shown in Table 2 of the draft SSMND report, the daily operational emissions of both ROC and NOx would exceed 25 pounds per day.
Therefore, the air quality impact of the proposed project would continue to be potentially significant.
It appears that the consultant’s response to offset the “significant” impacts this project will have on air quality and carbon emissions for thousands of residents who live near the project site, is to have Costco make a modest contribution of $243,557 to a TDM fund, required under mitigation measure AQ-4. This is unacceptable. Why are Costco and the developer not being asked to make real modifications to their proposed development in order to offset the significant increase in carbon emissions and harmful air pollution that they will be generating? This is similar to massive polluters paying a fee to offset their carbon emissions rather than doing the real work and lowering their carbon footprint and practices. Why is Costco not being asked to consider alternative plans then that include no fuel station, or perhaps a fuel station with half the number of pumps, to offset the significant emissions they would be generating? Furthermore, the preliminary site plan (pg. 14) provides a total of 901 parking stalls (BTW, that’s over 100+ parking spaces beyond what is required, that’s a lot of unnecessary asphalt), including 19 handicapped accessible stalls and 181 stalls for electric vehicles. Of the 181 electric vehicle stalls, only 46 stalls would provide electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) at first occupancy while the remaining 135 stalls would provide electrical infrastructure for the future installation of EVSE. That means that only 5% of the 901 parking stalls would have EV charging infrastructure (901 minus the 46 initial EV charging spots = 855 parking spots w/o EV charging).
With the state of California requiring that all new cars sold in 2035 and beyond be zero-emission vehicles, and the fact that we as a city and state are supposed to be making a concerted effort to significantly decrease carbon emissions to address climate change, how does a 32-pump gas station and only 5% of the proposed parking lot spaces being truly EV charge ready, meet these new mandated standards? Simply put, it does not. More study is needed.

26 We were also underwhelmed by the lack of thorough and independent analysis, if any, examining impacts the project will have on noise pollution (during and after construction), light pollution, and stormwater runoff pollution from dozens of acres of newly paved asphalt. In terms of light and noise pollution that the proposed gas station will generate, why is the fuel station not required to operate during the same hours as the proposed warehouse? The retail warehouse and tire center hours are anticipated to be Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The gas station hours are expected to be daily from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. More study is needed.
For these reasons, and more (to be submitted at a later date), it is clear that there are simply more questions than answers that still need to be addressed before the city approves anything. We respectfully request that the city slow down and require that a comprehensive EIR be conducted by an independent third party, and that as part of that EIR, alternative plans, including those that include no or a smaller fuel station, be considered. We also request that meaningful mitigation measures be set in place as conditions of any project approvals and entitlements, that lessen projects impacts to traffic, VMTs, carbon emissions, pollution and to the environment.
Sincerely,
Ventura County Citizens Against Mega Gas

27 RESPONSES TO COMMENTS
CEQA does not require the lead agency to prepare responses to public comments submitted in response to an MND. (Public Resources Code Section 21091(f); State CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(b)). Nonetheless, the following responses are provided to create the most complete record possible. As several letters include the same comments, the responses are organized by topic rather than by letter to avoid duplication.
Topic 1 - Preparation of a Subsequent MND rather than an EIR Comment
Why did the City require preparation of a Second Subsequent MND rather than an EIR? Response
On September 12, 2007, the Camarillo City Council approved General Plan Amendment GPA 2006-2, Change of Zone CZ-297 and CZ-298, Commercial Planned Development CPD-226, and Conditional Use Permit CUP-294 for the Paseo Camino Real commercial center project at a 44.84-acre site located within the Airport North Specific Plan area. This project involved the development of up to 499,000 square feet of building coverage with an assumed mix of 429,469 square feet of retail space, 29,531 square feet of restaurant space, and 40,000 square feet of office space, which would be provided in buildings ranging from 2,400 square feet to 196,645 square feet. As is typical for many proposed developments, the actual building shapes and sizes would be determined during the building plan review process. However, the total amount of building space for the project would not exceed 499,000 square feet. In connection with this approval, the City Council adopted MND 2006-17, which evaluated the impacts the development of the proposed 499,000-square-foot commercial center.
In 2011, the City of Camarillo Planning Commission approved a Major Modification [CPD-226M(1)] to the approved commercial project and approved an addendum to MND 2006-17. In 2016, the Planning Commission approved another Major Modification [CPD-226M(3)] to change the layout of the project site plan and changes to the allowed building elevations. The impacts of this Major Modification were evaluated in a Subsequent MND (Subsequent MND 2016-1 for the Amara Shopping Center). Although no development of the property under any of the previous approvals has occurred to date, CPD-226M(3) represents the current approval for development of the overall property.
MG2 Corporation is requesting approval of a Major Modification to CPD-226M(3) to allow the development of a new 163,177-square-foot, one-story Costco Wholesale retail building and free-standing fuel facility with 16 dispensers (i.e., 32 fueling positions) and a parking lot consisting of approximately 901 stalls on the eastern 20 acres of the project site (proposed project). The future second phase of the Amara Shopping Center would include the remaining 335,823 square feet of building area of the approved 499,000 square feet of commercial space in the western portion of the project site. No modification to the remaining western 24.84 acres of the project site is requested as part of the proposed project.
The proposed Costco project represents a modification to the approved Amara Shopping Center project which was previously assessed under CEQA. Therefore, special rules apply. Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines addresses the situation of when an MND has previously been adopted for a project and a subsequent environmental document needs to be prepared. The lead agency (in this case the City of Camarillo) can only require a subsequent EIR when (a) substantial changes are proposed for a project that Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
28 require major revisions to the previously adopted MND due to new significant environmental effects; (b) substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous MND due to new significant environmental effects; or (c) there is new information of substantial importance not known at the time of the previous MND’s approval that shows a new significant effect. If none of these criteria for a subsequent EIR are met, then the lead agency may decide whether to prepare a subsequent MND, an addendum, or no further documentation.
In this case, the potential impacts of the proposed project have been evaluated in the Draft Second Subsequent MND, which was required to be circulated for public comment, unlike an addendum or no further documentation. The Second Subsequent MND includes updated technical analyses that reflect the City’s current adopted CEQA significance thresholds, methodologies, and current conditions. The analyses have the same level of detail as would be required in an EIR. The preparation of the Second Subsequent MND is fully consistent with the requirements of CEQA. Preparation of an EIR or a new Initial Study would also not change the conclusions of the Draft Second Subsequent MND.
Topic 2 – Independent Analysis
Comment
The City should not have relied on unvetted analysis provided by Costco.
Response
While the Draft Second Subsequent MND incorporates the information presented in certain technical reports prepared by experts under contract to Costco, the Draft Second Subsequent MND was prepared by Cadence Environmental Consultants under contract to the City of Camarillo. Prior to the use of the technical reports in the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the reports were reviewed for consistency and accuracy by Cadence and City staff and subject to revision. This is expressly allowed under CEQA and is consistent with other development projects in the City of Camarillo. Consistent with CEQA, the Draft Second Subsequent MND reflects the independent judgment of the City of Camarillo. This is even specified at the bottom of the Title Page for the Draft Second Subsequent MND which states that “The City of Camarillo has independently reviewed and approved the information presented in this document.” Topic 3 – Impacts to Biological Resources
Comment
The proposed project site is a foraging ground birds and is known to provide habitat for special status species. Because of the development that is already in progress north of the 101, and the eventual development of the second field on Springville Drive and Ventura Road, birds will abandon the area and the increasing loss of open space. A new CEQA-level assessment is necessary to determine potential impacts to and mitigation for biological resources.
Response
As discussed on pages 44 through 46 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, no new potential impacts to biological resources were expected for the proposed project due primarily to the fact that the ground cover at the site is comprised of non-native grasses and vegetation growth at the site is controlled on a regular Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
29 basis by a tribe of goats that are transported to the site for this purpose. Prior to the use of goats to control vegetation growth, the entire site was disced on an annual basis.
That being said, an updated Biological Resources Assessment was prepared for the Costco portion of the project site in May 2022 but it was not provided to the City prior to the preparation of the Draft Second Subsequent MND. The updated Biological Resources Assessment is provided as Appendix A to this Preliminary Final Second Subsequent MND.
The areas to the east and west of the project site are located within the Airport North Specific Plan area.
The properties to the east of the site are developed with the Camarillo Town Center and Camarillo Town Center West developments. The Camarillo Town Center is developed with approximately 370,000 square feet of commercial uses anchored by a Target store. The Camarillo Town Center West development site is located adjacent to the project site and is anchored by a Home Depot. Springville Drive is located to the immediate west of the project site. Beyond Springville Drive is a 47-acre property that is presently vacant, but was approved in 2016 for the development of up to 268,500 square feet of commercial uses and 198,767 square feet of industrial and/or office uses. Ventura Boulevard is located to the immediate south of the project site. A 3.64-acre property located to the south of Ventura Boulevard is designated for Research and Development in the General Plan and zoned LM. To the south of this area is the Camarillo Hills Drain, which services a larger area of the City and is under the jurisdiction of the Ventura County Watershed Protection District. South of the Camarillo Hills Drain is Camarillo Airport, which is a public use airport with only general aviation operations.
The project site is not considered to be open space. The Open Space & Conservation Element of the City of Camarillo General Plan defines open space land as “any parcel or area of land or water which is essentially unimproved and devoted to the preservation of natural resources, used for the managed production of resources, outdoor recreation or for public health and safety and is also designated as open space on the general plan.” The General Plan identifies three land uses for conservation with these being agriculture, natural open space, and urban reserve. While the project site is presently undeveloped, the General Plan land use designation is General Commercial and the underlying zoning is CPD (Commercial Planned Development). The site has had approved development entitlements since 2007.
The vegetation at the project site is characterized as non-native annual grassland, consisting primarily of ruderal species and non-native annual grasses. Because of the developed and urban nature of the project vicinity and the vegetation composition, the site does not provide high quality habitat for many wildlife species, and only one special-status species (i.e., burrowing owl, Athene cunicularia) was determined to have a moderate potential to occur at the site.
Common wildlife species such as raccoon (Procyon lotor) and Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) are likely to pass through the site, and native and non-native bird species may use the site for nesting and foraging. While several common bird species may use the site for foraging during certain times of the year, loss of foraging habitat for common bird species is not a significant environmental impact under CEQA, and these common wildlife species are not listed under the federal or state Endangered Species Acts.
However, native nesting birds are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), and raptors are specifically protected under Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code. No federally or state listed bird species were determined to have potential to occur in the project area. As a California species of special concern, take of burrowing owl is prohibited.
Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
30 To address the potential for burrowing owl or other native nesting birds to occur on the site, the updated Biological Resources Assessment recommends that a preconstruction nesting bird survey be performed by a qualified biologist no earlier than one week prior to any construction during the nesting season (generally February 15 through August 31 but variable based on seasonal and annual climatic conditions) to determine if any native birds are nesting on or near the site including a 250-foot buffer for burrowing owl and other raptors. Because compliance with the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code is mandatory, this recommendation will be included as a Condition of Approval and would ensure that the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on burrowing owl or native nesting birds protected by the MBTA or California Fish and Game Code.
The information presented in the updated Biological Resources Assessment confirms that the proposed project would not result in potential impacts to biological resources as discussed in the Draft Second Subsequent MND. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife typically determines that the results of these assessments are acceptable for use for up to five years from the date of the assessment. Therefore, no further biological assessment is warranted at this time.
Topic 4 – Emissions from Idling Vehicles
Comment
The proposed project will result in significant impacts from idling vehicles.
Response
The evaluation of air quality impacts was performed in accordance with the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD)’s Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines. The analysis included the emissions from the idling of passenger vehicles and trucks at the proposed Costco gas station. As discussed on pages 33 and 34 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the daily operational emissions of both ROC and NOx would exceed 25 pounds per day. Therefore, the air quality impact of the proposed project would be potentially significant. Implementation of mitigation measures AQ-3 and AQ-4 would reduce the cumulative air quality impacts of the proposed project to a less than significant level.
A Human Health Risk Assessment (HRA) was also prepared for the proposed project. This HRA included diesel particulate matter (DPM) from the idling of project trucks and the gasoline transfer and dispensing.
As discussed on pages 37 through 41 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the emissions associated with operation of the proposed project are less than the VCAPCD significance thresholds.
Regarding carbon monoxide (CO) hotspots, a CO hotspot that would exceed the most stringent CO standard would only occur with very heavy traffic and is not likely to be exceeded until the daily traffic at an intersection exceeds more than 400,000 cars/day. The 42 cars in the queue would not generate enough CO to create a significant CO hotspot impact.
Topic 5 – Project-Specific and Cumulative Traffic Impacts Comment
The proposed project will have project-specific and cumulative traffic impacts.
Response
Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
31 As a preliminary matter, the City now assesses traffic impacts under CEQA based on the vehicle miles travelled (VMT), as required under state law. Traffic congestion (as measured by level of service (LOS)) is no longer a CEQA issue and was therefore not addressed in the Draft Second Subsequent MND. As shown in Tables 14 and 15 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the proposed project would result in a substantial reduction in VMT as compared to the approved Amara Shopping Center project. Therefore, the proposed project’s transportation impacts would be less than significant.
The Paseo Camino Real commercial center project (the original project) was approved by the City Council in 2007. At that time, the area to the north of U.S. Highway 101 was used for agricultural cultivation.
However, the Springville Specific Plan was under development at that time and the City was aware of the potential for development of this area. The Springville Specific Plan was approved by the City Council in 2008 and construction of the U.S. Highway 101 and Springville Drive interchange commenced shortly thereafter.
Final MND 2006-17 was unable to evaluate traffic impacts on Earl Joseph Drive, Ponderosa Drive west of Las Posas Road, and the Springville Drive offramps because the planned extension of Springville Drive and the U.S. Highway 101 and Springville Drive interchange did not exist at that time. Traffic impacts associated with cumulative development in this area, including the Paseo Camino Real commercial center project, were first evaluated in the EIR for the Springville Specific Plan.
By the time that Subsequent MND 2016-1 was prepared for the Amara Shopping Center, the Springville Specific Plan was approved, the U.S. Highway 101 and Springville Drive interchange was constructed, Ponderosa Drive was extended to Springville Drive, Springville Drive was constructed, and development within the Springville Specific Plan area had commenced. In addition, the improvements required under mitigation measures TRA-2 through TRA-7 for the Paseo Camino Real commercial center project had been implemented. All of this has resulted in substantially improved operations at the impacted intersections identified in Final MND 2006-17. As a result, the City Traffic Engineer determined that an updated traffic impact analysis was not necessary for the Amara Shopping Center project. Instead, the City Traffic Engineer determined that data from the Traffic and Circulation Study for the Springville Commercial Project was to be used to identify the potential traffic and circulation impacts of the Amara Shopping Center project. The Springville Commercial Project was proposed for the property to the west of the Amara Shopping Center project site and Springville Drive. The Traffic and Circulation Study for the Springville Commercial Project was prepared in August 2014, evaluated all of the same intersections as MND 2006-17 for the approved Paseo Camino Real commercial center project, and included the traffic forecasts for the Paseo Camino Real (now Amara) commercial project in its analyses of future traffic volumes. The analysis found that all of the study-area intersections were forecast to operate at LOS B or better with the addition of traffic from both the Amara Shopping Center project site and the Springville Commercial Project. No significant impacts would occur.
The proposed Costco project represents a modification to the approved Amara Shopping Center project.
Therefore, the proposed project would be expected to increase traffic on Ponderosa Drive, Earl Joseph Drive, and the Springville Drive offramps. The potential traffic impacts at these locations associated with the development of the project site were evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1.
Projects that were approved or are pending since the Traffic and Circulation Study for the Springville Commercial Project was prepared in August 2014 (such as the Camarillo Hotel and Conference Center (EIR 2017-8)) included traffic from the approved Amara Shopping Center project either specifically as an Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
32 approved (in-process) development or inherently under full build out of the General Plan. Therefore, cumulative impacts of the proposed project and the related projects have been adequately addressed.
Topic 6 – Trip Generation Rates
Comment
The trip generation rates used in the Subsequent MND are not accurate.
Response
All of the trip generation rates used for the proposed Costco project (including pass-by and diverted rates) are based on actual observed traffic counts and surveys conducted during peak times at similar Costco warehouse and fuel station sites. The data was collected in accordance with the procedures and methodology outlined in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook (TGH).
Not only is this Costco-specific data more representative of the proposed project than using data in the standard reference ITE Trip Generation Manual (TGM) for a general Discount Club, but it is also more conservative, as using the Costco-specific trip generation data results in a higher number of total trips than using the general data in the TGM. Internal capture between the proposed Costco and the surrounding shopping center uses was estimated using standard daily retail-to-retail internal capture rates in the TGH.
Therefore, the trip rates in the Draft Second Subsequent MND are based on industry-accepted engineering practices and result in conservative analysis results.
Topic 7 – Air Quality Mitigation Measures
Comment
The proposed project should implement the same air quality mitigation measures as the Murrieta Costco.
Response
This comment refers to the Costco/Vineyard II Retail Development in Murrieta, which is a different project in a different city, and within a different air pollution control district (the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)) with different significance thresholds for air quality impacts. The Draft EIR for that project (State Clearinghouse No. 2018061602) disclosed significant and unavoidable operational air quality impacts. Therefore, the SCAQMD requested additional mitigation measures for that project. In accordance with CEQA, the City required the project to implement the requested measures to reduce the significant impacts to the greatest extent feasible.
In this case, the operational mitigation measures for the proposed project are approved mitigation strategies for control of operational emissions as dictated by the VCAPCD in the Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines (per Section 7.5 Project Mitigation in the Ventura County Air Quality Assessment Guidelines). And were already required for the approved Amara Shopping Center project.
With these measures, the proposed project’s construction-related and operational air quality impacts would be less than significant. Therefore, no further mitigation is warranted.
Topic 8 – Cumulative Air Quality impacts
Comment
Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
33 The Draft Second Subsequent MND did not assess cumulative impacts from other projects. The cumulative analysis should include the airport operations and the 101 Freeway.
Response
As discussed on page 30 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the VCAPCD currently recommends that projects located everywhere in Ventura County outside of the Ojai Planning Area with operational emissions that exceed 25 pounds per day of ROC and/or NOx should be considered to have significant individual project and cumulatively considerable impacts. These thresholds apply to individual development projects only and do not apply to the combined emissions of multiple projects. As stated in MND 2006-17:
Because Ventura County is currently in nonattainment for ozone, related projects could exceed an air quality standard or contribute to an existing or projected air quality exceedance. With regard to determining the significance of the proposed project contribution, the VCAPCD neither recommends quantified analyses of cumulative operational emissions nor provides methodologies or thresholds of significance to be used to assess cumulative construction or operational impacts.
Instead, the VCAPCD recommends that a project’s potential contribution to cumulative impacts should be assessed utilizing the same significance criteria as those for project specific impacts.
Therefore, this Initial Study assumes that individual development projects that generate operational emissions that exceed the VCAPCD recommended daily thresholds for project-specific impacts would also cause a cumulatively considerable increase in emissions for those pollutants for which the County is in nonattainment. As discussed previously, operational daily emissions associated with project development would exceed VCAPCD significance thresholds for ROC and NOx. Therefore, the emissions generated by project would be cumulatively considerable regarding a substantial contribution to an existing or projected air quality violation. This would be mitigated to less-than-significant levels by Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-4.
The freeway and the airport are existing facilities and are part of the environmental baseline. CEQA only requires analysis of changes to the baseline resulting from the proposed project. Nor does the VCAPCD require an analysis of cumulative impacts with existing facilities, as set forth above. Therefore, no such cumulative analysis is necessary or appropriate.
Topic 9 – Electric Vehicle Charging
Comment
The Costco should provide more EV/EVSE parking spaces.
Response
The proposed Costco will comply with CALGreen Code and adopted amendments for EV chargers and stalls. The final number and layout will be determined at the building permit phase of the project. The EV charger count will be based on a combination of Direct Current Fast Chargers (level 3 chargers) and Level 2 Chargers, and they will be located immediately north of the entry canopy.
The chargers require a significant amount of power. Therefore, the number of EV chargers at the site will be partially limited by the amount of electricity that Southern California Edison (SCE) can provide, which is currently limited. It will also be partly limited by the actual current demand for EV chargers at the facility.
Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
34 Providing substantially more EV charging spaces than necessary at the present time would result in less parking for non-EV vehicles which currently make up the vast majority of the vehicle fleet mix. However, Costco will add EV chargers in the future based on increases in the amount of available power and member demand.
In addition, Costco is proposing a number of sustainable and environmentally features, including:
a. The Costco project will use pre-manufactured building components, including structural framing and metal panels, to help minimize waste during construction. b. The main building structure will be constructed with a pre-engineered system that uses at least 80% recycled steel materials and is designed to minimize the amount of material utilized. c. Roof material will be 100% recycled standing seam metal panel, designed to maximum efficiency for spanning the structure.
d. Construction waste shall be recycled whenever possible. e. Floor sealant will contain no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and represents over 80% of the floor area.
f. Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps will be installed in the parking lots. g. Parking lot and exterior lights will be controlled by a photo sensor and time clock. h. Pre-manufactured metal wall panels with insulation carry a higher Resistance Value (more commonly known as R-Value) and greater solar reflectivity will be installed to help conserve energy. Building heat absorption is further reduced by a decrease in the thermal mass of the metal wall when compared to a typical masonry block wall.
i. A reflective roof material will be installed to produce lower heat absorption and thereby lowering energy requirements during the hot summer months. This roofing material meets the requirements for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Energy Star energy efficiency program. j. The Costco project will plant native, drought-tolerant vegetation that will use less water than other common species.
k. The Costco project will install high-efficiency restroom fixtures. l. Building envelopes will be insulated to meet or exceed current energy code requirements. m. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) comfort systems will be controlled by a computerized building management system to maximize efficiency. n. HVAC units will be high-efficiency, direct-ducted units. o. HVAC units will not use hydrochlorofluorocarbons.
p. Interior lighting will be controlled by the overall project energy management system. q. Gas water heaters will be direct vent and 94% efficient or greater.

35 r. Extensive recycling/reuse program will be implemented for warehouse and office space including tires, cardboard, grease, plastics, and electronic waste. s. All Costco trucks will be equipped with an engine idle shut off timer.
Topic 10 – Airport Noise
Comment
The project will be impacted by airport noise due to more noisier aircraft.
Response
The Airport Master Plan cited in the comment shows that that the project site is outside the 65 dBA CNEL noise contour both under the current and ultimate 65 dBA CNEL noise contour maps for Camarillo Airport.
Therefore, the proposed project would not be adversely impacted by airport noise now or in the future.
Topic 11 – Fuel Station Noise and Light
Comment
In terms of light and noise pollution that the proposed fuel station will generate, why is the fuel station not required to operate during the same hours as the proposed warehouse? Response
As discussed in the Draft Second Subsequent MND the proposed project’s noise and lighting impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project would comply with all City lighting requirements. As discussed on page 17 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND:
Parking and site lighting would incorporate the use of cutoff lenses to keep light from overflowing beyond the project site boundaries. The main parking lot would be illuminated with standard downward pointing lights, each containing LED bulbs affixed to a maximum 35-foot light pole.
The lighting fixtures are proposed of a contemporary minimalistic flush lens style with the height of the pole providing the optimum light distribution to reduce the total number of pole mounted fixtures required to safely illuminate the site for pedestrians and vehicles. Lighting for the parking lot would be controlled by an energy management system to minimize lighting after the warehouse has closed and employees are gone from the warehouse. This is typically one hour after the warehouse has closed for business. Parking lot lighting would only remain on to provide security and emergency lighting only along the main driveways.
These features would be effective in reducing light and glare. Limiting the hours of the fuel station is not warranted.
Topic 12 – Hydrology
Comment
More analysis is needed regarding stormwater runoff pollution from dozens of acres of newly paved asphalt.
Responses to Comments
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
36 Response
As discussed on page 17 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND:
The proposed stormwater system would be developed in accordance with the City’s Municipal Stormwater Permit (Order No. R4-2021-0105) and related Ventura County Technical Guidance Manual. Stormwater for the Costco development is proposed to discharge to an underground detention system. Runoff would be collected via multiple storm drain inlets located throughout the Costco development area. The water quality flow rate for each inlet would be treated with a tributary biofiltration system before discharging to a single underground detention system. The underground detention system would discharge offsite to an existing 66-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) stub at the corner of Springville Drive and West Ventura Boulevard before ultimately discharging to the Camarillo Hills Drain. The connection to the existing 66-inch pipe would require a drainage easement. The easement would be dedicated to Costco as part of the purchase to sale agreement and Costco per the agreement would be responsible for the maintenance of the proposed connection pipe.
As discussed on pages 79 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND:
New and redevelopment land use projects are also required to meet the requirements of the Regional Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit for Los Angeles and Ventura Counties (CAS004004, Order R4-2021-0105) or current permit in effect, and related requirements of the Ventura County Technical Guidance Manual for Stormwater Quality Control Measures (TGM) that are in effect at the time of building development. Projects will be required to develop a Post Construction Stormwater Management Plan (PCSMP) in accordance with the City’s Municipal Stormwater Permit. The PCSMP shall address the project’s mitigation of pollutants and stormwater runoff volume from impervious surfaces through infiltration, reuse, evapotranspiration, bioretention, or biofiltration as required by the City’s Municipal Stormwater Permit.
In compliance with these requirements, stormwater runoff will be captured by storm drain inlets at proposed low points throughout the Costco site, these inlets will have trash capture devices to capture initial trash debris. Stormwater will then be routed via underground storm drain lines to six Ecopure treatment devices which will serve as a biofiltration system to address water quality. Treated stormwater will then be routed to an ADS Detention System designed to hold 26,000 cubic feet of stormwater volume, to address pre- versus post- stormwater runoff volume generated by the site.
Through compliance with existing laws and implementation of mitigation measures HYD-1 to HYD-3, which, among other things, require the treatment of all stormwater runoff, potential impacts to water quality would be less than significant.

REVISIONS TO THE
DRAFT SECOND SUBSEQUENT MND
Draft Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
1 REVISIONS TO THE
DRAFT SECOND SUBSEQUENT MND
The following revisions are set forth to update the Draft Second Subsequent MND for the Camarillo Costco project in response to the comments received during the public review period, as well as changes directed by City staff. Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND are listed by section. The sections that have not been revised are not listed below. Text revisions are shown as red-colored strike-out of old text and red-colored new text.
The information included in these Draft Second Subsequent MND revisions do not constitute substantial new information that requires recirculation of the Draft Second Subsequent MND or the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Section 15073.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines states:
(a) A lead agency is required to recirculate a negative declaration when the document must be substantially revised after public notice of its availability has previously been given pursuant to Section 15072, but prior to its adoption. Notice of recirculation shall comply with Sections 15072 and 15073. (b) A “substantial revision” of the negative declaration shall mean:
(1) A new, avoidable significant effect is identified and mitigation measures or project revisions must be added in order to reduce the effect to insignificance, or (2) The lead agency determines that the proposed mitigation measures or project revisions will not reduce potential effects to less than significance and new measures or revisions must be required.
(c) Recirculation is not required under the following circumstances:
(1) Mitigation measures are replaced with equal or more effective measures pursuant to Section 15074.1.
(2) New project revisions are added in response to written or verbal comments on the project’s effects identified in the proposed negative declaration which are not new avoidable significant effects.
(3) Measures or conditions of project approval are added after circulation of the negative declaration which are not required by CEQA, which do not create new significant environmental effects and are not necessary to mitigate an avoidable significant effect. (4) New information is added to the negative declaration which merely clarifies, amplifies, or makes insignificant modifications to the negative declaration. (d) If during the negative declaration process there is substantial evidence in light of the whole record, before the lead agency that the project, as revised, may have a significant effect on the environment which cannot be mitigated or avoided, the lead agency shall prepare a draft EIR and certify a final EIR prior to approving the project. It shall circulate the draft EIR for consultation and review pursuant to Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
2 Sections 15086 and 15087, and advise reviewers in writing that a proposed negative declaration had previously been circulated for the project.
The changes to the Draft Second Subsequent MND included in these revisions do not constitute a “substantial revision” because a new, avoidable significant effect has not been identified and mitigation measures or project revisions do not need to be added in order to reduce the effect to a less than significant level. The revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND update and confirm the evaluation of impacts as presented in the Subsequent MND 2016-1 for the Amara Shopping Center.
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
Biological Resources
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘a’ on page 44 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Although threatened and endangered species are protected by specific federal and state statutes, State CEQA Guidelines Section 15380(b) provides that a species not listed on the federal or state list of protected species may be considered rare or endangered if the species can be shown to meet certain criteria. These criteria have been modeled after the definition in the federal Endangered Species Act (FESA) and the section of the California Fish and Game Code dealing with rare or endangered plants and animals, and allows a public agency to undertake a review to determine if a significant effect on a species that has not yet been listed by either the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) or California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) (i.e., species of special concern) would occur. Whether a species is rare, threatened, or endangered can be legally significant because, under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15065, an agency must find an impact to be significant if a project would “substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species.” Thus, CEQA provides an agency with the ability to protect a species from a project’s potential impacts until the respective government agencies have an opportunity to designate the species as protected, if warranted.
Special-status wildlife species include taxa designated as follows:
• Threatened, endangered, or candidate for listing under the FESA; • Threatened, endangered, or rare under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA); • CDFW species of special concern or fully protected species.
Special-status plant species include taxa designated as follows:
• Threatened, endangered, or candidate for listing under the FESA; • Threatened, endangered, or rare under the CESA;
• Species with CRPRs as described below (CNPS 2022):
o 1A – Plants presumed extinct in California
o 1B – Plants considered rare, threatened, or endangered in California and elsewhere.
Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
3 o 2 – Plants considered rare, threatened, or endangered in California, but more common elsewhere.
Critical habitat is a term defined and used in the FESA to specify geographic areas that contain features essential to the conservation of an endangered or threatened species, and that may require special management and protection. Critical habitat may also include areas that are not currently occupied by the species but will be needed for its recovery.
Approval and implementation of the proposed project would not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission. An updated Biological Resources Assessment was prepared in May 2022 to assess the potential for special-status plant and wildlife species and sensitive natural communities to occur within the Costco portion of the project site and surrounding area. This Biological Resources Assessment provides the methods and results of a field survey, including vegetation communities and land cover types present within the study area, special-status plant and wildlife species detected or determined to have potential to occur within the study area, the presence of wildlife movement corridors or federally designated Critical Habitat within or adjacent to the study area, and any additional focused surveys necessary to further evaluate potential impacts to biological resources within the project site. The Biological Resources Assessment is incorporated as Appendix E to this Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4.
Special-status plant and wildlife species present or potentially present within or adjacent to the study area were initially identified through a desktop literature review using the following sources:
the USFWS Information, Planning, and Consultation (IPaC) Trust Resource Report; the CDFW California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB); and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Online Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants. Additionally, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Web Soil Survey (WSS) was queried to determine soil types that exist within the boundary of the study area, as well as the USFWS National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database. The CNDDB and CNPS database searches included the 7.5-minute USGS Camarillo quadrangle and the IPaC search included the study area and a two-mile buffer surrounding the Costco project site. Special-status species include those that are considered threatened, endangered, candidate for listing, species of special concern or fully protected by the USFWS, the CDFW, or the CNPS. California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) 1 and 2 plant species were included in the CNPS search. Following a review of these resources, relevant life history information on those species documented as occurring in the region, including habitat type, soils, and elevation preferences were reviewed.
A field survey was performed on April 25, 2022, to evaluate botanical and wildlife resources within the study area, including habitat suitability for special-status species. The survey consisted of walking through the project area and along its periphery, where possible, to map and characterize vegetation communities, collect data on the relative quality of, and potential for, existing habitats to support the special-status species identified during the preliminary database and resources review, and to identify any other sensitive biological resources present or potentially present within the site. An aerial photograph and georeferenced mobile map with an overlay of the project boundary was utilized to map vegetation communities and record any special-status or sensitive Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
4 biological resources while in the field. Protocol-level surveys for special-status plant and wildlife species were not conducted during this time; however, any incidental observations of such species were documented.
The ground cover at the site is comprised of non-native annual grassland, consisting primarily of ruderal species and non-native annual grasses. This vegetation community is generally dominated by non-native species, including introduced forbs. Native grasses and forbs may be present, but usually constitute less than 10 percent relative cover in the herbaceous layer. Species that were observed in this vegetation community during the field survey include wild oats (Avena sp.), Italian ryegrass (Festuca perennis), ricegrass (Piptatherum sp.), brome (Bromus sp.), mustard (Brassica sp.), wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum), cheeseweed (Malva sp.), chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum sp.), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), epizote (Dysphania ambrosioides), Russian thistle (Salsola sp.), and castor bean (Ricinus communis). Just outside of the eastern boundary of the project site, there is a row of large ornamental landscape trees within the Home Depot lot. Vegetation growth at the site is controlled on a regular basis by a tribe of goats that are transported to the site for this purpose.
Results of the CNDDB and IPaC searches indicated 14 special-status wildlife species known to occur within the one-quad/two-mile search radius of the project site. Of these, 13 species are not expected to occur or have a low potential to occur within the project site due to a lack of suitable habitat, or the site is outside of the species’ known range; therefore, these 13 species were removed from further consideration. The remaining species, burrowing owl, has a moderate potential to occur at the site and is discussed further below.
Burrowing owl utilizes abandoned California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi) burrows in open habitats, grasslands, and disturbed areas, typically on levees, mounds or areas where there are unobstructed views of possible predators such as raptors or foxes. Prey items include insects, small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Although no California ground squirrel burrows were detected during the survey, there is suitable foraging habitat in the vicinity of the project site, and there are five documented occurrences of this species within 1.3 miles of the project site, one of which is located within the northwestern portion of the project site.
No raptor nests, wildlife dens, or burrows were incidentally observed during the field survey.
Results of the CNDDB and CNPS searches indicated 12 special-status plant species known to occur within the one-quad/two-mile search radius of the project site. None of these species are expected to occur within or adjacent to the project site due to a lack of suitable habitat, a lack of occurrences in the vicinity of the project site, or the project site is outside of the species’ known range; therefore, special-status plants are not discussed further in this document.
The project site does not fall within or adjacent to Critical Habitat limits for any listed plant or wildlife species.
Five bird species were detected during the field survey, including red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), cliff swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota, which were observed nesting on the southern wall face of the existing Home Depot), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), and northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). Numerous red-winged blackbirds were observed feeding throughout the site on seeds of some of the weedy vegetation Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
5 and were displaying potential nesting behavior; however, no nests were detected during the field survey. No common mammals, amphibians, or reptiles were detected during the field survey.
Common wildlife species adapted to life in proximity to human development, such as raccoon (Procyon lotor), Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), and striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis) are likely to move through the study area on a regular basis to find food and cover. Several common native and non-native bird species are likely to use the study area for nesting and foraging.
To address the potential for burrowing owl or other native nesting birds to occur on the site and to comply with and implement the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the provisions of Section 3503.5 of the California Fish and Game Code, the Biological Resources Assessment has recommended a preconstruction nesting bird survey be performed by a qualified biologist no earlier than one week prior to any construction during the nesting season (generally February 15 through August 31 but variable based on seasonal and annual climatic conditions) to determine if any native birds are nesting on or near the site including a 250-foot buffer for burrowing owl and other raptors. Because compliance with the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code is mandatory, this recommendation will be included as a Condition of Approval and would ensure that the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on burrowing owl or native nesting birds protected by the MBTA or California Fish and Game Code.
According to the City of Camarillo CEQA Environmental Guidelines, no a less than significant impact would occur if the project does not removes or modify modifies any habitat associated with any one or more candidate, sensitive, or special status species, but implements habitat preservation/restoration programs consistent with CDFW and/or USFWS regulations, as applicable. As discussed above, compliance with the MBTA and California Fish and Game Code is mandatory and a preconstruction nesting bird survey will be included as a Condition of Approval.
Therefore, no a less than significant impact would occur and the site-specific impacts of the proposed project would be no different from those evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1. This same impact would occur with the approved Amara Commercial Center.
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘b’ on page 45 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Approval and implementation of the proposed project would not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission. The ground cover at the site is comprised of non-native annual grassland, consisting primarily of ruderal species and non-native annual grasses.
Vegetation growth at the site is controlled on a regular basis by a tribe of goats that are transported to the site for this purpose. The updated Biological Resources Assessment includes a constraintslevel analysis for potentially jurisdictional wetlands and waters based on current and historic aerial photography signatures and field observations. The analysis was based on criteria provided by the following agencies:
• Waters of the U.S., including wetlands, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE), pursuant to Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
6 • Wetlands under the jurisdiction of the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), pursuant to Section 401 of the CWA and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (Porter-Cologne Act).
• Wetlands under the jurisdiction of the CDFW, pursuant to Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code.
Although a formal wetland delineation was not performed during the field survey, no aquatic features were observed within the study area that are likely to fall under jurisdiction of the ACOE, CDFW, or RWQCB. Additionally, the NWI did not depict any aquatic resources within or adjacent to the study area. The Biological Resources Assessment concludes that there are no riparian habitats or other sensitive natural communities at the project site.
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘c’ on page 45 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Approval and implementation of the proposed project would not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission. The ground cover at the site is comprised of non-native annual grassland, consisting primarily of ruderal species and non-native annual grasses.
Vegetation growth at the site is controlled on a regular basis by a tribe of goats that are transported to the site for this purpose. As discussed above, The the Biological Resources Assessment concludes that there are no wetlands at the project site.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘d’ on page 75 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Approval and implementation of the proposed project would also not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission. The Department of Toxic Substances Control EnviroStor database was searched on October 7, 2023 and the project site and surrounding properties are still not included on a list of hazardous material sites as compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. An updated Phase I ESA was also conducted for the project site that is incorporated as Appendix E F to this Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4.
The May 4, 2022 Phase I ESA concluded that the potential of residual pesticides from the previous agricultural activities remaining in the soil is low but the surface soils should be sampled and analyzed to assess the appropriateness for reuse or disposal. Therefore, mitigation measure HAZ1 would continue to be applicable to the proposed project. The May 4, 2022 Phase I ESA also identified a concrete standpipe along the eastern boundary of the project site. There may be buried irrigation lines connected to this standpipe. Based on the age of the standpipe, this structure and potential buried lines may contain asbestos containing materials and should be tested prior to removal. Implementation of new mitigation measure HAZ-4 would ensure that potential impacts Revisions to the Draft Second Subsequent MND
Final Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4 Camarillo Costco
7 associated with the release of asbestos containing materials are reduced to a less than significant level.
Hydrology and Water Quality
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘b’ on page 82 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Approval and implementation of the proposed project would also not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission. The water demand associated with the proposed project has been evaluated in a Water Impact Study that is incorporated as Appendix F G to this Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4. The Water Impact Study concludes that the proportionate water demand for the proposed Costco project would be within the approved water demand credit for the Amara Shopping Center.
Transportation
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘b’ on page 123 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Although approval and implementation of the proposed project would not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission, the proposed Costco would have different trip generating characteristics than the approved shopping center uses. Therefore, the VMT impacts associated with the proposed project have been evaluated in a Daily Trip Generation and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) memorandum that is incorporated as Appendix G H to this Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4.
Utilities and Service Systems
Based on the submittal of an updated Biological Resources Assessment to the City after the publication of the Draft Second Subsequent MND, the text for checklist item ‘b’ on page 133 of the Draft Second Subsequent MND is revised to read:
Approval and implementation of the proposed project would also not change the location, type, or maximum amount of development evaluated in Subsequent MND 2016-1 and approved by the City of Camarillo Planning Commission. The water demand associated with the proposed project has been evaluated in a Water Impact Study that is incorporated as Appendix F G to this Second Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration 2023-4. The Water Impact Study concludes that the proposed Costco development would be approximately 12.5 acre feet per year. As discussed above, the Amara Shopping Center has an existing water allocation of 40 acre feet per year for the 499,000 square feet of approved development. Based on the entitled development amount, the proposed Costco development would be allocated up to 13.1 acre feet per year of the overall 40 acre feet per year. The 12.5 acre feet per year demand of the proposed project would be 0.6 acre feet less than the 13.1 acre feet per year allocation for the Costco development.

1 REVISED MITIGATION MONITORING AND
REPORTING PROGRAM
This section of the Final Second Subsequent MND provides the revised Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that will be used to monitor the implementation of the mitigation measures adopted for the Camarillo Costco project.
INTRODUCTION
CEQA requires the adoption of feasible mitigation measures to reduce the severity and magnitude of potentially significant environmental impacts associated with development projects. However, simply adopting these measures is not adequate under State law. Lead agencies are also required to adopt a program that will be used to ensure that the mitigation measures are in fact implemented. The requirements for mitigation monitoring or reporting are codified in Section 15097 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
The MMRP for the Amara Shopping Center identifies project-specific mitigation measures to reduce the potentially significant impacts associated with the development of the project site. The Final Second Subsequent MND for the Camarillo Costco project incorporates these mitigation measures along with the new and revised mitigation measures identified in the Draft Second Subsequent MND. Following adoption of the Final Second Subsequent MND and approval of this revised MMRP by the City of Camarillo City Council, the project-specific mitigation measures identified in the Final Second Subsequent MND would be implemented and monitored as described in this revised MMRP.
LIST OF MITIGATION MEASURES
The mitigation measures adopted for the Camarillo Costco project are listed in the following table along with the action required, the timing for implementation of each measure, and the department within the City of Camarillo responsible for monitoring the mitigation measure.
