Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services Agreement with Allied Waste Services of North America, LLC, Subject to Results of a Public Hearing Regarding Proposed Rate Increases; or

b. Direct staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services contract.

Mayor Lopez-Taff explained to the public how this item would be administered, with the staff presentation followed by a brief recess and then public comment.

An updated staff report was distributed to the City Council and public on February 24. Operations Manager Poole presented the outcomes of the 60-day negotiation period with Republic Services, as staff was directed to do by the Council in November 2025. She reviewed the negotiation timeline, focus areas and approach. She discussed cost comparisons of including residential street sweeping service and potential refinements to the Neighborhood Cleanup Program (NCU), including reducing the number of annual collections and pile size per pickup. Staff also evaluated the feasibility of a local Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) drop off event. Manager Poole reviewed proposed organizational improvements to be included in the contract terms, as well as program and technology improvements. In a comparison of rates across the region, Citrus Heights currently has the lowest. Rate proposals reflected minimal monthly impact, and staff recommended the option to add residential street sweeping and reduce NCU from 3 to 2 times a year. Should the Council choose an amended contract with Republic Services, a rate hearing would still be required.

City Council questions and comments followed. Carrie Baxter from R3 Consulting Group, Inc., responded to rate questions.

The City Council recessed at 7:03 p.m. and reconvened at 7:10 p.m.

Acting City Attorney Drexel made a statement addressing any potential concerns of conflicts of interest on this item under the provisions of the Levine Act pertaining to campaign contributions from participating parties made to Council Members. He stated that, in his opinion and per the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), no conflict exists regarding any Council Member participating in this vote, as the campaign contributions in question were made in 2024 and fall outside the date range restrictions in the Act. He stated that all Council Members were participating appropriately and the Council could proceed.

And now they want MORE???”

Acting City Clerk Jones read the following written public comment submitted by Robert Wichert, “I fully support competitive bidding for Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Services. It is our responsibility to obtain the lowest possible costs for services to our customers. The only way to do that is by competitive bidding.”

Acting City Clerk Jones read the following written public comment submitted by Cynthia Roberts, “I am concerned that the City of Citrus Heights is going to be voting on a No Bid $110 Million contract to Republic Services for residential waste later this month and I was shocked to hear that after 27 years, this contract has never been put out to competitive bid.

At the council meetings we heard a parade of repetitive speakers about how Republic Services has been a good community partner - a friend to many groups and elected officials. But taxpayer dollars should NOT be about giving contracts on the basis of friendship - it should be about getting the best service for residents. Opening the bid can lead to price negotiations, technology add on’s, education enhancements, and potentially improved service. Also, I am unclear about how the cost of street sweeping will be incurred, will it come separately, from the CH General fund or be deducted from the Franchise fee?

CH residents deserve transparency and deserves to know that we’re getting the best services for our tax dollars.

There is still time for the City Council to do the right thing and put the contract out for a competitive bid and a transparent process - not a backroom deal for friends.”

City Council Direction
Staff sought Council direction on the following elements:
• Inclusion of residential street sweeping in customer rates – Council Members Lopez-Taff, Nelson, Middleton and Schaefer said yes; Council Member Karpinski-Costa said no • Refinement of Neighborhood Cleanup (NCU) Program
o Reduce to 2 collections per year – the Council agreed (unanimous) ITEM 8

A portion of the City’s investments are under management by Chandler Asset Management (Investment Manager) as of March 2023. For more information regarding the City’s investments under management, see schedules included as Attachment 1.

The report includes all securities managed by the City and its Investment Manager (excluding bond proceeds) and provides information on the values (par, fair, and cost), term, and yield of each security. Of note, because the safe-keeping custodian and the Investment Manager may use different pricing sources to determine the market value of the securities, there can be minor differences in fair values shown on the custodian’s monthly statement as compared to the Investment Manager’s monthly statement.

Fair Value of individual securities has been provided by Chandler Asset Management. The City uses US Bank as its third-party custodian for safekeeping of all investments except for the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). LAIF is a money market fund administered by the State Treasurer that has many governmental agency participants and holds securities through its own administrator.

In July 2024, the City joined the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). CAMP is a California Joint Powers Authority (JPA), a government agency that was established in 1989 to provide public agencies in California with professional investment services and options. CAMP is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of experienced local government finance directors and treasurers. The City has invested funds in the CAMP Pool, a stable net asset value investment rated AAAm by S&P Global. The CAMP Pool offers same-day liquidity similar to LAIF. Investments in the CAMP Pool are permitted under California Government Code Section 53601(p) and the City’s Investment Policy.

The value of fixed-income securities may fluctuate with changes in interest rates. As interest rates go up, the fair value of the securities may go down, and the reverse is true; when interest rates go down, the market value of the securities may go up. The difference between the book Item 9

and fair market value is considered an unrealized gain or loss. The unrealized gain for this reporting period is $73,281. It is important to note that a loss or gain is realized when an investment is redeemed or sold before its maturity date. The City’s investments are typically retained until the maturity date, at which point the City’s full investment is returned.

Nonetheless, the City may elect to sell an investment before its maturity and record a capital gain or loss to manage the portfolio’s quality, liquidity or yield in response to market conditions or the City’s risk preferences.

Compliance
All investment transactions were executed in accordance with the California Government Code and the City’s Investment Policy. In accordance with California Government Code section 53646(b)(3), staff believes that the investments and budgeted revenues for the City will provide sufficient cash flow to meet the anticipated cash flow requirements of each entity for the next six months.

Pooled cash and investment book balances are adjusted annually to reflect fair value as required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The term fair value was formerly known as market value and became effective with the mandatory implementation of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 31 in fiscal year 1998. The CAMP Pool complies with requirements outlined by GASB Statement No. 79, which allow the City to record its investment at amortized cost instead of fair value. The attached investment schedules meet all applicable GASB requirements.

American Rescue Plan Act Summary
Included in the City’s investment portfolio are the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.

The City received an ARPA allocation of $15.7 million of which the total funds used by end of March 2026 were $15.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, all funds have been obligated and reported to the US Treasury. Remaining funds need to be expended by December 31, 2026.

At the August 14, 2024, City Council meeting, Council approved the allocation of the remaining funds towards general government services and critical projects. This is reflected on the schedule below in accordance with the US Treasury guidelines. General government services and critical projects include but are not limited to necessary improvements to infrastructure such as sidewalks, pedestrian safety features like crosswalks, streetlights, neighborhood cleanup, and other projects to revitalize public spaces; replace and update technology tools to effectively develop, execute, and evaluate government programs; and general government services such as rehire public safety to pre-pandemic levels.

March payrolls reboundedby 178,000 after February’s revised 133,000 decline, but the war in Iran and its disruption of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed crude oil above $112, injecting a potential inflationary shock into an economy contending with sticky core prices above 3%.

The Federal Reserve has held the funds rate at 3.50–3.75% and is signaling a cautionary stance, keeping open the option of delaying cuts if oil‑related inflation proves persistent rather than transitory. As the data flow normalizes, the Chandler team anticipates additional yield curve steepening as the Federal Reserve gradually guides the policy rate toward a more neutral range. The Federal Reserve’s March dot plot still projects one cut this year, yet the Iran-driven energy shock has narrowed the path toward easing.

The Federal Reserve’s March 2026 FOMC meeting ended with policymakers again holding the target range at 3.50%–3.75%, as the Committee maintained its pause following three late ‑2025 rate cuts. Governor Stephen Miran dissented in favor of an additional quarter‑point reduction, while Christopher Waller joined the majority, tipping the vote 11–1 to leave the benchmark rate unchanged.

Meanwhile, President Trump’s nominationof Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as chair has hit a roadblock after a Republican senator vowed to block Warsh’s confirmation amid the Justice Department’s ongoing probe of the central bank.

Treasury yields exhibited considerable first-quarter volatility as the Iran conflict injected energy-driven inflation fears into a market grappling with sticky core prices. At March month-end, the 2-year yield stood at 3.79%, up 32 basis points year-to-date, the 10-year at

4.32%, and the 30-year at 4.86%. The 2-year to 10-year spread narrowed to 52 basis points, reflecting pronounced flattening as short rates rose faster than longer maturities. One year ago, that spread stood near 32 basis points, providing context on normalization since the 2022 through 2024 yield curve inversion. The 3-month to 10-year spread was approximately 64 basis points at March month-end.

March nonfarm payrolls rose by 178,000, a decisive reversal from February’s revised 133,000 decline that had been distorted by a Kaiser Permanente strike affecting over 30,000 healthcare workers and severe winter weather. Healthcare contributed 76,000 positionsas striking nurses returned, while construction and leisure rebounded from weather-induced troughs. The unemployment rate edged lower to 4.3%, though partly from a labor force reduction rather than a hiring acceleration. Meanwhile, the underemployment rate edged up to 8.0% from

7.9% in February. Average hourly earnings rose 0.2% over the month and 3.5% year over year—the slowest annual pace since May 2021.

Job openings fell to 6.9 million in February from a revised 7.2 million in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. The ratioof openings to unemployed workers slippedto 0.9, reinforcing the gradual rebalancing of demand and supply. Hires decreased to 4.8 million, the lowest since April 2020, suggesting employers have grown selective about adding headcount.

Quits were little changed at 3 million. The data reflects a labor market consistent with the Federal Reserve’s characterization of a no-hire, no-fire environment.

Retail gasoline prices climbed steeply in March following the escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to AAA, the national average reached $4.06 per gallon by month-end,an increase exceeding a dollar from $2.98 on February26.

Diesel prices reached $5.49 as tight global distillate supplies compounded the disruption. Cushing WTI crude settled at $101.38 per barrel on March 31, while Dated Brent closed at $126.97, producing a spread of roughly $25.60, the widest in more than five years. The gap reflects the disproportionate impact of shipping disruptions on internationally benchmarked crude relativeto domestic supply bolstered by Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases.

The index’s three‑month moving average edged up to ‑0.01 from ‑0.02 the prior month. Production and employment related indicators turned negative in February, while sales, orders, and inventories also remained in negative territory. The personal consumption and housing categories slipped modestly but stayed in positive territory. The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) declined 0.1% in January, an improvement from ‑0.2% in December, with consumer expectations and building permits the largest drags on the index.

CONTRACTING
The Institute for Supply Management’s Manufacturing Index rose to 52.7 in March from 52.4, the fastest factory expansion since August 2022 and a third consecutive month above 50. Production accelerated to 55.1 from 53.5, though new orders decelerated to 53.5 from 55.8.

The prices subindex leaped to 78.3 from 70.5, reflecting elevated energy costs, metals tariffs, and Iran-related supply disruptions.

Employment remained in contraction at 48.7. The Services Index eased to 54.0 in March from 56.1 in February but still posted its 21st consecutive monthof expansion. The expansion was mainly from an increase in prices, amid higher oil and fuel costs. With both measures above the 50 threshold, ISM data point toward a resilient if cost-pressured economy.

Recession
In $ millions
The Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged in March, keeping the target range at 3.50% to 3.75% following three late‑2025 rate cuts that were justified by signs of softening in the labor market. The Federal Open Market Committee minutes showed some participants supported two-sided language on future rate direction given the upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment being elevated. However, policymakers have grown wary of potential inflationary pressures stemming from tariffs, the war in Iran, and the ensuing spike in commodity prices. The Federal Reserve now projects just one rate cut in 2026, even as inflation expectations rise. The Committee also reaffirmed its December decision to halt balance sheet runoff and to reinvest principal and interest payments from its securities holdings, signaling a continued emphasis on maintaining ample reserves and supporting orderly market functioning.

In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A.

Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio.

Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates.

Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy.

Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest.

LGIP Yields: Reported yields for local government investment pools may be presented as either the 30-day yield or the monthly distribution yield, as applicable. For certain funds, the 30-day yield is calculated using reported daily yield data. Yield calculations are subject to change and may not be directly comparable across funds.

LAIF Yields: Additional Disclosure for CA Clients - As a result of a reporting lag from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), reported LAIF yields represent the most recently available Daily Effective Yield and may reflect data from approximately 7–10 days prior to month-end. 41 Item 9

ckground and Analysis
On D
ecember 14, 2023, Citrus Heights City Council approved the Three Year Pavement Preservation Plan (PPP) identifying the first three-years of streets throughout the City to be resurfaced. On August 27, 2025, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Valley Slurry Seal International, Inc. (VSSI) for the 2025 Road Resurfacing Project (Project).

How
ever; as the award of the construction contract for the 2025 Road Resurfacing Project was in late Summer 2025 and construction did not commence on the roadways until April 2026, staff reviewed all roadways again to ensure the originally prescribed treatments remain the most cost effective and appropriate approach for each of the included roadways. Additionally, roadways with high maintenance needs were also reviewed. As a result of these efforts, 3 locations have been recommended for significant modifications or increased treatments:

Item 10
Agenda Packet Page #61
Subject: 2025 Road Resurfacing Project – Authorize Additional Work Date: May 13, 2026

Page 3 of 3 ends

1) Originally, the PPP did not identify Primrose Drive for resurfacing within any of the three years. However; in 2024, upon review of the roadway, it was determined that resurfacing within the PPP three-year period was necessary. At that time, it was added to the 2027 PPP list to occur within the same program year of other nearby roadways.

However, upon continued evaluation and review of the roadway, it is recommended to prioritize resurfacing on Primrose Drive to occur in 2025, prior to the next winter season to prevent further deterioration.

The estimated cost of pavement repairs, resurfacing and restriping of Primrose Drive is $550,000.

2) The Citrus Heights Police Department front parking lot is also in need of resurfacing. As this is a parking lot, and not a public roadway, it is not included in the PPP but is a city- maintained facility. The parking lot was originally designed with pervious pavement funded as a stormwater water quality demonstration project funded by the State. Due to excessive wear and unraveling of aggregate throughout the lot and inability to re-stripe ADA and parking stalls in its current condition, staff obtained authorization from the State to resurface the lot. It is recommended that this parking lot be resurfaced this calendar year, prior to the next winter season, to prevent further deterioration.

The estimated cost to resurface and restripe the CHPD parking lot is $77,500 and will be funded with General Capital Replacement Funds, as previously identified in the approved 2025/2026-2029/2030 CIP.

3) Greenback Frontage Road, between Brooktree Drive and Peoria Drive, is already included in the 2025 Road Resurfacing Project but was planned to receive a Type V Fiberized Micro-surface two-layer treatment. However; upon continued review and evaluation, the pavement has degraded to such a point that this treatment is no longer recommended. Rather, a full width mill and fill is recommended to re-establish the roadway structure.

The estimated net cost to change the resurfacing of this roadway from a Type V Fiberized Micro-surface to a mill and fill is $105,000.

In order to obtain the best resurfacing product available, and to minimize significant degradation of existing pavement, the additional work and modifications is recommended for inclusion in the 2025 Road Resurfacing Project.

Page 2 of 7 ends

Approximate Costs of the Various Components are as follows:

The requested not-to-exceed amount represents a funding ceiling rather than an initial contract award, and expenditures beyond the base contract amount would only occur if needed and as authorized. Sufficient funding has been identified to support the full not-to-exceed amount, and any additional purchases would be made in accordance with the City’s budget and procurement policies.

There is no anticipated impact to the City’s General Fund.

The Police Department plans to fund the contract using a combination of legislatively guaranteed Citizen’s Option for Public Safety (COPS) Program funds and the Department’s State and Federal Asset Forfeiture accounts.

The funding plan includes the allocation of COPS annual funding over the five-year term of the contract. The remaining contract costs will be supported through available balances within the Department’s State and Federal Asset Forfeiture funds, which are restricted for law enforcement purposes.

Approval of the agreement will allow the Department to implement the technology platform while utilizing dedicated public safety and risk management funding sources.

Background and Analysis

As the expiration of the Department’s current body-worn camera contract approaches, staff conducted a review of available public safety technology vendors to identify a long-term solution capable of supporting the Department’s operational, evidentiary, and transparency needs. The evaluation included vendors that provide body-worn cameras, in-car camera systems, conducted energy weapons, interview room recording technology, and digital evidence management platforms.

While several companies offer body-worn camera systems or individual components of these technologies, staff determined that Axon Enterprise, Inc. is currently the only vendor that provides a fully integrated ecosystem including body-worn cameras, in-car fleet cameras, conducted energy weapons, interview room recording systems, and a unified digital evidence management platform.

Integrated Technology Ecosystem

Modern law enforcement operations generate significant volumes of digital evidence from multiple sources, including body-worn cameras, in-car cameras, interview rooms, and other investigative technologies. When these systems operate independently, staff must manually manage files across multiple platforms, increasing administrative workload and creating inefficiencies.

The Axon platform integrates these technologies into a centralized, cloud-based evidence management system. Evidence is automatically uploaded, categorized, securely stored, and made available for redaction and sharing with prosecutors and partner agencies. The system also maintains detailed audit trails and chain-of-custody records to ensure evidentiary integrity.

Consolidating these systems into a single platform would significantly improve operational efficiency while reducing administrative burden for sworn personnel, investigators, and professional staff.

Transparency, Accountability, and Liability Protection

Body-worn cameras and in-car camera systems play an important role in promoting transparency and accountability in law enforcement operations. Video documentation provides an objective record of interactions between officers and members of the public, which can help clarify the facts of an incident and support fair and accurate investigations.

Recorded footage is frequently used in criminal prosecutions, internal investigations, and administrative reviews. Video evidence can also assist in resolving citizen complaints and often provides valuable documentation that protects officers from unfounded allegations of misconduct.

In addition, maintaining reliable video documentation can reduce potential liability exposure for the City by ensuring that incidents are accurately documented and preserved. The availability of video evidence provides greater clarity during legal proceedings and strengthens the City’s ability to respond to claims involving police operations.

In-Car Camera Systems and Risk Management

The proposed platform includes in-car camera (ICC) systems, which complement body-worn cameras by capturing events from a broader perspective during traffic stops, pursuits, and other field operations.

While body-worn cameras document interactions from the officer’s viewpoint, in-car systems provide a wider field of view and capture activity that may occur outside the officer’s immediate line of sight, including during the transport of arrested individuals. This additional perspective is particularly valuable during dynamic incidents when officers may be moving, separated, taking cover, or unable to manually activate their body-worn cameras.

In-car camera systems have proven especially valuable in several high-risk areas:

Item 14
Agenda Packet Page #77
Subject: Approval to Execute Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc.

Date: May 13, 2026

Page 4 of 7 ends

• Pursuit-Related Fatalities and Wrongful Death Claims: ICC footage provides critical documentation demonstrating adherence to policy and appropriate officer conduct. • In-Custody Allegations: Video evidence serves as an objective record of interactions during transport, protecting both the Department and officers from unfounded claims. • Officer-Involved Shootings (OIS): ICC systems provide broader situational context that may not be fully captured by body-worn cameras.

Recent court proceedings have further demonstrated that judges, juries, prosecutors, and defense attorneys increasingly expect the availability of in-car video evidence. The absence of such evidence may be perceived as a gap in modern policing practices, potentially impacting credibility and case outcomes.

National guidance reinforces this expectation. The International Association of Chiefs of Police, in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, has identified in-car camera systems as a critical component of modern policing strategies, improving transparency, performance, and public trust while mitigating liability.

Given these considerations, implementation of ICC systems represents a proactive investment in risk reduction. The cost of deployment is offset by the potential to reduce civil liability exposure and strengthen the defense of claims involving police operations.

Axon Fleet 3 In-Car Video System
An advanced camera system for patrol cars that improves officer safety, increases transparency, and makes police operations more efficient.

Key features include:
• Automatic & Reliable Recording: Cameras turn on automatically during emergencies and can capture wide-angle views inside and outside the car, even at night. It also reads license plates automatically and can retrieve the last 24 hours of video if needed. • Real-Time Monitoring & Easy Access: Supervisors can watch live video and track vehicle location. Footage uploads automatically via wireless connection to secure storage, reducing paperwork.
• Full Integration: Works seamlessly with officers’ body cameras and includes a wireless microphone for clear audio, creating one complete record of events.

This system provides a comprehensive, connected solution that enhances evidence collection, officer safety, and operational effectiveness.

Replacement of Existing Evidence Systems

The Police Department currently utilizes SIRE to store and manage digital files related to investigations and evidence. This system was implemented more than a decade ago and has not been supported by the vendor for more than ten years. As a result, the system lacks many of the capabilities now considered standard in modern digital evidence management platforms.

Unlike modern evidence management systems, SIRE was not designed to manage large volumes of digital video, audio, and photographic evidence generated by body-worn cameras and other Item 14

Subject: Approval to Execute Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc.

Date: May 13, 2026

recording devices, less common when that system was created. Additionally, the SIRE system requires significant manual processes to upload, organize, and store files, which increases administrative workload and presents long-term sustainability concerns.

Transitioning to Axon’s digital evidence management platform would provide the Department with a modern system designed specifically for law enforcement use and would allow us to fully integrate into the District Attorney’s preferred digital evidence sharing platform for use in case prosecution. This is the standard for all agencies in Sacramento Couty. The platform allows for secure cloud-based storage, automated evidence uploads from recording devices, improved search capabilities, redaction tools, and secure sharing of evidence with prosecutors and partner agencies.

Community Link

In addition, the platform includes Axon Community Link functionality, which incorporates Axon Community Request capabilities allowing officers to send secure digital links to community members so they can directly upload relevant video, photos, or other digital evidence into the system, reducing delays and improving evidence collection efficiency. The platform also integrates My90, enabling the Department to gather real-time feedback from community members following interactions with officers, supporting data-driven decision-making, enhancing accountability, and strengthening community trust.

Additionally, the system includes Axon’s retail crime solution powered by Auror, which enables real-time collaboration between law enforcement and participating retailers by providing structured incident data, suspect information, and shared evidence from retail partners. This integration allows officers to more quickly identify repeat organized retail offenders, analyze crime patterns, and prioritize high-impact cases, while streamlining evidence collection through secure digital transfer of video, images, and reports directly into the Department’s evidence platform. Collectively, these tools enhance the Department’s ability to prevent, investigate, and resolve crimes while strengthening partnerships with both the community and local businesses.

Conducted Energy Weapon Modernization

The proposed technology platform acquisition also includes the TASER 10, the newest generation conducted energy weapon designed to provide officers with an effective less-lethal option during potentially dangerous encounters that extends further than our current Taser generation device thus providing additional distance and safety to officers.

The Department’s current conducted energy weapons are older models that are no longer supported by the manufacturer. As these devices age, maintenance and replacement parts become increasingly difficult to obtain, creating reliability concerns for equipment that officers rely upon in critical situations.

In addition to the lack of manufacturer support, older conducted energy weapon models do not provide the same performance capabilities as newer technology. The Taser 10 offers improved probe deployment, greater operational reliability and distance, and enhanced overall performance compared to previous models. These improvements increase the likelihood of successful less- Item 14

lethal deployment in situations where officers must quickly gain control of a subject while minimizing the potential for serious injury.

Providing officers with updated less-lethal tools supports the Department’s commitment to resolving incidents safely whenever possible and reducing the likelihood of injury to officers, subjects, or members of the public.

Operational Efficiency and Vendor Consolidation

The Department currently relies on multiple systems and vendors to manage its recording technologies and digital evidence storage. Maintaining separate systems requires additional administrative oversight, training, and technical support. Moving to the Axon platform would allow the Department to consolidate multiple technologies under a single vendor and platform.

This consolidation would simplify system management, reduce administrative workload for personnel, improve reliability, and ensure compatibility between devices and evidence management systems.

Cooperative Purchasing Through Sourcewell

The proposed purchase would be made through a cooperative purchasing contract administered by Sourcewell, a government service cooperative that conducts competitive solicitations on behalf of public agencies nationwide.

Sourcewell issues requests for proposals, evaluates vendor responses, and awards contracts to qualified vendors through a competitive procurement process. Public agencies may utilize these contracts without conducting their own independent solicitation while remaining compliant with public procurement requirements and local purchasing policies.

Utilizing the Sourcewell contract provides several advantages to the City, including:
• Compliance with competitive procurement requirements through a nationally solicited contract
• Access to pre-negotiated pricing and standardized contract terms • Reduced administrative time and cost associated with conducting a separate bid process • The ability to implement the technology prior to the expiration of the Department’s current body-worn camera contract
Competitive Procurement Considerations

Although the City typically conducts competitive solicitations for major purchases, staff determined that issuing a separate request for proposals would not likely produce a vendor capable of providing the same fully integrated ecosystem currently offered by Axon. While other vendors offer body-worn cameras or evidence storage solutions, staff did not identify another provider that offers the complete suite of technologies required by the Department—including body-worn cameras, in-car cameras, conducted energy weapons, interview room recording Item 14

Subject: Approval to Execute Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc.

Date: May 13, 2026

Page 7 of 7 ends

systems, and a unified digital evidence management platform that together works seamlessly without the need for multiple administrative steps.

Because the Sourcewell contract has already been competitively solicited and evaluated, and because Axon is currently the only vendor providing the full integrated technology ecosystem required by the Department, staff determined that utilizing the cooperative purchasing contract represents the most efficient and practical procurement method.

Order of Business – Public Comment
Chapter 8 of the handbook discusses City Council meetings including public comment procedures. Currently, members of the public may address the City Council on any item within their subject matter jurisdiction or on any item on the agenda. The City has also historically accepted written public comments for inclusion as part of the public record. In many instances, written comments have been attached to agenda items but not read aloud during the meeting.

Additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the City began accepting written public comments that were read into the record by the City Clerk. The City Council has expressed a desire to amend the public comment procedures related to written public comments.

The proposed draft handbook amendment to Chapter 8 are indicated below:

4. Public Comment: Individuals desiring to speak are to address the Council from the speaker podium after giving their name.

Comments should focus on a specific matter within the Council’s jurisdiction with reasons for the position taken. Written comments are encouraged during the public comments section or during public hearings. When materials are presented during public hearings, they should be submitted before the public hearing is closed on the item. Comments may be limited so that all have an opportunity to address the Council. Normally, speakers are limited to five three minutes each with 30 minutes being allowed for all comments. Any public comments beyond the initial 30 minutes may be heard at the conclusion of the agenda. The Mayor has the discretion to lengthen or shorten the allotted times.

Alternatively, the public may submit written public comments by 4:00 p.m. on the meeting day by completion of an online Speaker Card. Written comments will not be read during the City Council meeting but will be forwarded to all Council Members and become part of the public record. Additionally, aAny materials submitted during public comments (or for public hearings) become part of the public record and may be subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. This includes, but is not limited to PowerPoint presentations, videos, letters and photographs.

Administrative Changes
Staff has made various administrative changes to the handbook to reflect current processes, policies and resources available to Council Members including:

• Chapter 2 – Revisions to the list of current City commissions and boards to reflect changes to the Building Code Board of Appeals and the addition of the Youth Advisory Commission.

Recommendation
Th
e Gateway Activation Project (GAP) is a vital step in fulfilling the City’s General Plan goals of creating a well-connected, safe, and sustainable "Complete Streets" network. By closing critical gaps between local and regional trails, this project transforms the Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way corridors into a cohesive multimodal spine. The proposed amendments ensure that the City’s regulatory documents remain consistent with these planned infrastructure improvements, facilitating future grant eligibility and construction.

The
Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Project with the following motion:

Adopt
Resolution 2026-____, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Citrus Heights, California, adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration, adopting the Mitigation Monitoring Plan, and adopting the updated Bikeway Master Plan, Pedestrian Master Plan and the General Plan Bikeway Map incorporating the Gateway Activation Project.

Fiscal Impact

The Gateway Activation Project (GAP) is supported by a state budget allocation received in 2022 through former Assemblymember Ken Cooley’s office. This allocation has fully funded the project’s development to date, with the specific intent of advancing multi-use trail connections.

While construction funds have not yet been identified, adopting these formal plan amendments will better position the City to secure the necessary grants and additional funding for final design and construction of the trail extension. It is anticipated that the construction of the project will be grant funded.

Background and Analysis

The City of Citrus Heights has maintained a long-standing commitment to enhancing mobility beginning with the first Bikeway Master Plan in the early 2000s and continuing through the 2011 General Plan update. In 2014, the City Council constructed the Old Auburn Multi-Use Trail and accepted the Creek Corridor Trail Project, which prioritized specific trail segments for integration into the City’s formal regulatory documents.

In 2022, the City Council authorized the Arcade Cripple Creek Trail Project and secured a state allocation to develop the Gateway Activation Project (GAP). The GAP serves as a vital "missing link," connecting the Old Auburn Multi-Use Trail, the Arcade Cripple Creek Trail, and the future Dry Creek Greenway in Roseville. The location of the GAP project area is shown below in orange:

Project Location

Beyond expanding the trail network, the project is designed to resolve significant traffic safety and operational challenges along the Old Auburn Road corridor. The current infrastructure suffers from Level of Service (LOS) F conditions during peak hours, excessive travel speeds, and discontinuous sidewalks. To address these issues, the Project includes a "Complete Streets" design intended to improve safety and accessibility for all modes of travel along this corridor.

Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #88
Subject: Gateway Activation Project
Date: May 13, 2026

Page 3 of 5 ends

The City Council reviewed the project alternatives and provided their preferred direction at their meeting on June 25, 2025. Following a comprehensive presentation on the alternative analysis and selection phase, the Council directed staff to proceed with preliminary engineering and the environmental review process. The project design below incorporates the following features:

• Three New Roundabouts: Located at Old Auburn Road/Argo Drive, Old Auburn Road/Wachtel Way, and Old Auburn Road/Oakwood Hills Circle/Linda Creek Court to improve traffic flow and safety.

• Class I/Class IV Multi-Use Paths: Extending along Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way to provide separated, high-comfort facilities for all users.

• Regional Connectivity: Formalizing a critical multimodal spine that links local neighborhoods to regional trail systems in Roseville and Sacramento County.

Overall Project Design

Community Engagement
Community engagement has been a central pillar in the development of the Gateway Activation Project. Throughout 2025 and early 2026, the City conducted extensive outreach to ensure the project reflects the needs and concerns of residents, including:

• Public Meetings & Workshops: Two well-attended in-person workshops (April 2025 and March 2026), a pop-up event along the Old Auburn Multi-Use Trail in May 2025, and a formal City Council update in June 2025.

• Direct Outreach: Over 250 mailers were sent to property owners within 500 feet of the project area for the Planning Commission and City Council hearings. Staff also held numerous one-on-one meetings with community members.

• Digital Access: A dedicated project webpage (www.citrusheights.net/GAP) provided continuous access to maps, documents, and meeting summaries.

• Public Comments: During the 30-day environmental review period, six public comments were received. While residents expressed concerns regarding noise and privacy—leading to requests for additional fencing, the overall feedback was supportive of the project’s goals.

Tree Impacts and Mitigation
The proposed infrastructure improvements will require the removal of some existing trees within the project corridor to accommodate the new shared-use paths and roundabouts. While preliminary assessments have identified potential impacts, the final number and specific location of tree removals will be determined during the final design phase as engineering plans are refined. To offset these impacts, the project will adhere to the requirements of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP) and the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance. This includes implementing a robust replanting strategy or utilizing in-lieu fees to ensure that the corridor’s canopy and environmental quality are maintained or enhanced upon project completion.

Right-of-Way Estimates
To accommodate the new "Complete Streets" infrastructure, including the three proposed roundabouts and the expanded Class I shared-use paths, some additional right-of-way acquisition will be required. While the specific square footage for each affected parcel will be finalized during the design phase, the project has been engineered to follow the existing corridor as closely as possible to keep impacts to private property minimal. Most acquisitions are expected to be limited to "sliver" takes or small corner adjustments at the affected intersections. The City will work closely with all impacted property owners through a formal appraisal and negotiation process to ensure fair compensation once final design specifications are established.

Planning Commission Hearing
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 14, 2026, to review the Gateway Activation Project and the associated regulatory updates. The Commission found the proposed amendments to be in full conformance with the General Plan, noting that the project directly advances the City’s goals for safety, mobility, and connectivity. After reviewing the evidence presented, the Commission supported the findings required to amend the Bikeway Master Plan, Pedestrian Master Plan, and General Plan Bikeway Map. The Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to forward a recommendation of approval to the City Council.

Environmental Review

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study with Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared. The Draft IS/MND was circulated for a 30-day public review from February 13 to March 19, 2026.

The IS/MND concluded that with the implementation of the Mitigation Monitoring Plan (MMP), the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Mitigation measures have been established for the following categories:

• Biological, Cultural, and Tribal Cultural Resources.
• Geology, Soils, and Hydrology.
• Hazards, Population and Housing, and Transportation/Traffic.

These measures will be officially incorporated into the final project plans and construction specifications as the City moves into the design and construction phases.

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

1 INTRODUCTION

This Initial Study with Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Citrus Heights Gateway Activation Project (Project). The Project proposes to construct multimodal and roadway improvements along Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way in northern Sacramento County (Figure 1 Project Vicinity, Figure 2 Project Location, and Figure 3 Project Features). The Project is intended to provide Complete Street elements to serve bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists as well as intersection improvements to facilitate traffic circulation along these roads.

The Project proposes improvements on a 0.45-mile section of Old Auburn Road from the Sacramento County line south to Roberts Creek Court and on Wachtel Way from Old Auburn Road south approximately 0.61 miles to the Woodside Oaks Park segment of the Arcade-Cripple Creek Trail. The Project is located within the Folsom USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle, in Sacramento County, specifically in Sections 17, 18, 19, and 20, Township 10 North, Range 7 East.

The City of Citrus Heights is the CEQA lead for this project. This IS/MND relies on CEQA Guidelines §15064 in its determination of the significance of environmental effects. According to §15064, the finding as to whether a project may have one or more significant effects shall be based on substantial evidence in the record, and that controversy alone, without substantial evidence of a significant effect, does not trigger the need for an EIR.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

Purpose
The purpose of the Project is to address traffic congestion and strengthen connectivity along Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way by improving intersection operations, linking to existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and establishing future connections to planned facilities in nearby jurisdictions, such as the City of Roseville and Sacramento County. The Project aims to improve vehicular traffic circulation, enhance safety, accessibility, and mobility for all users by incorporating complete street elements that promote convenient and comfortable travel to key destinations, including neighborhoods, parks, open spaces, and regional trail systems.

Planned improvements will improve traffic circulation and close gaps in pedestrian and bicycle networks along both roads by installing roundabouts, upgrading intersections, adding pedestrian crossings, enhancing streetscapes, and creating connections to current and future local and regional multi-use paths.

Need
In the City’s northeast residential area, ongoing efforts have focused on expanding the bicycle and pedestrian network through new trails, bike lanes, and safer roadway crossings. Aligned with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, the Project aims to enhance accessibility and safety along key corridors and improve the broader transportation system. Currently, the area has gaps in the regional trail network and limited links between existing and planned bikeways. This Project will address these def iciencies by closing infrastructure gaps, improving mobility and safety, and encouraging non -motorized travel for both commuters and recreational users.

5 CITY OF CITRUS HEIGHTS

INITIAL STUDY CHECKLIST

CEQA requires the Lead Agency to examine the effects of a project on the physical conditions that exist within the area that would be affected by the project. CEQA also requires a discussion of any inconsistency between the proposed project and applicable general plans and regional plans.

An inconsistency between the proposed project and an adopted plan for land use development in a community would not constitute a physical change in the environment. When a project diverges from an adopted plan, however, it may affect planning in the community regarding infrastructure and services, and the new demands generated by the project may result in later physical changes in response to the project.

In the same manner, the fact that a project brings new people or demand for housing to a community does not, by itself, change the physical conditions. An increase in population may, however, generate changes in retail demand or demand for governmental services, and the demand for housing may generate new activity in residential development. Physical environmental impacts that could result from implementi ng the proposed project are discussed in the appropriate technical sections.

This section of the initial study identifies the applicable land use designations, plans and policies, and permissible densities and intensities of use , and discusses any inconsistencies between these plans and the proposed project. This section also discusses agricultural resources and the effect of the project on these resources.

For the purposes of this document, the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR (2011b) was referenced.

6 5. Applicant: City of Citrus Heights (City)

6. General Plan: City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR (2011b).

7. Zoning: The zoning adjacent to Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way is mostly residential, namely RD2, RD3, and RD5. The zoning in unincorporated Sacramento County east of Wachtel Way is agricultural-residential.

8. Description of Project: The City proposes to construct multimodal and roadway improvements along Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way in Citrus Heights. The purpose of the Project is to address traffic congestion along Old Auburn Road, enhance connectivity to existing bicycle and pede strian infrastructure, and provide future linkages to planned facilities in neighboring jurisdictions, including the City of Roseville and Sacramento County.

The proposed improvements include intersection enhancements such as roundabouts, as well as the installation of pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as multi-use pathways, Class IV bikeways, crosswalks, sidewalks, and Americans with Disabilities Act ( ADA)-compliant curb ramps . The Project includes amending the Bikeway Master Plan, Pedestrian Master Plan, and the General Plan Bikeway Map to incorporate these new bicycle and pedestrian segments. These improvements are needed to address traffic congestion along Old Auburn Road as well as current deficiencies in pedestrian and bicycle access along Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way.

The proposed Project includes bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Wachtel Way, extending from the Arcade -Cripple Creek Trail just south of Pitalo Way to Old Auburn Road. Along Old Auburn Road, improvements will extend from Robert Creek Court to the b oundary line with the City of Roseville. The Project also includes intersection improvements at Argo Drive and Old Auburn Road, focusing on the addition of a pedestrian crossing and enhanced safety features. Additionally, safety and traffic flow improvemen ts have been evaluated at three closely spaced intersections —Oakwood Hills Circle, Wachtel Way, and Oakwood Hills Circle/Linda Creek Court — addressing issues such as intersection interactions and the difficulty of making a left turn from Oakwood Hills Circle onto Old Auburn Road.

The Project consists of constructing roundabouts at the Argo Drive, Wachtel Way, and Oakwood Hills Circle /Linda Creek Court intersections (Figure 3.

Project Features). The proposed improvements would involve excavation, limited to areas necessary for constructing roundabout s, street lighting, a retaining wall, and sidewalks, ADA -compliant curb ramps, and bicycle facilities. Proposed grading for the roundabouts, sidewalks, and bike trail construction will range from 1-3 feet deep. Street light foundations, if required depending on alternative, will range between 5 -10 feet deep. Any drainage relocations could result in up to 4 feet of ground disturbance. Retaining walls will require up to 8-10 feet of ground disturbance.

Partial road closures are anticipated during construction; however, access to all residences will be maintained at all times. The Project will require permanent right -of-way (ROW) acquisitions where existing ROW is insufficient to accommodate new facilitie s. Temporary construction Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #107

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

7 easements will be required to support construction activities. Utility relocations will be necessary where existing infrastructure conflicts with the proposed improvements. Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2027 and is expected to take approximately six months to complete.

Need

In the City’s northeast residential area, ongoing efforts have focused on expanding the bicycle and pedestrian network through new trails, bike lanes, and safer roadway crossings. Aligned with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, the Project aim s to enhance accessibility and safety along key corridors and improve the broader transportation system. Currently, the area has gaps in the regional trail network and limited links between existing and planned bikeways. This Project will address these def iciencies by closing infrastructure gaps, improving mobility and safety, and encouraging non - motorized travel for both commuters and recreational users.

Purpose

The purpose of the Project is to strengthen connectivity within the City by linking to existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and establishing future connections to planned facilities in nearby jurisdictions, such as the City of Roseville and Sacra mento County. The Project aims to enhance safety, accessibility, and mobility for all users by incorporating complete street elements that promote convenient and comfortable travel to key destinations, including neighborhoods, parks, open spaces, and regio nal trail systems.

Planned improvements include closing gaps in pedestrian and bicycle networks along both roads, upgrading intersections, adding pedestrian crossings, enhancing streetscapes, and creating connections to current and future local and regional multi-use paths.

Anticipated Construction Equipment

Typical construction equipment would include the following:

• Crane
• Backhoe
• Excavator
• Concrete saw (removal of existing road)
• Cement truck
• Paver
• Rollers
• Motor grader
• Dump truck
• Light tools (i.e., saws, jackhammer)

Most construction related noise would occur during the road improvements.

This operation would likely include noise from concrete hammers and jackhammers. All construction work for the project will comply with the City of Citrus Heights Standard Construction Specifications (or Best Management Practices).

9 SECTION 2.0 – ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AFFECTED

The Initial Study is also intended to assess whether any environmental effects of the project are susceptible to substantial reduction or avoidance by the choice of specific revisions in the project, by the imposition of conditions, or by other means [15152(b)(2)] of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

If such revisions, conditions, or other means are identified, they will be identified as mitigation measures.

This Initial Study relies on State CEQA Guidelines 15064 and 15604.4 in its determination of the significance of environmental effects. According to 15064, the findings as to whether a project may have one or more significant effects shall be based on subs tantial evidence in the record, and that controversy alone, without substantial evidence of a significant effect, does not trigger the need for an EIR.

This Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is a subsequent environmental document that tiers off the General Plan Program EIR, therefore impacts that were adequately addressed in the General Plan EIR do not need to be repeated in this Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration.

The Citrus Heights Gateway Activation Project Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration is a subsequent environmental document to the General Plan EIR. As such , this MND incorporates all applicable mitigation measures adopted with the Final EIR for the General Plan. The following is a summary of additional mitigation measures that were not included in the General Plan EIR. These measures, along with applicable measures from the General Plan EIR that are listed in Section 4.0, will be adopted in a Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Plan for the Citrus Heights Gateway Activation Project Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration.

CCHGP EIR MITIGATION MEASURES INCORPORATED WITHIN THE PROPOSED PROJECT

The following are additional mitigation measures applicable to the proposed project that were not included within the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR:

Mitigation Measure 4.7-7: Discovery of Potential Paleontological Resources If potential paleontological resources are detected by construction workers or City staff during construction of future land uses, work shall stop immediately, and consultation is required to avoid further impacts. Actions after work stoppage will be designed to avoid significant impacts to the greatest extent feasible. These measures could include, but are not limited to, construction worker personnel education, consultation with a qualified paleontologist, coordination with experts on resource recovery an d curation of specimens, and/or other measures considered appropriate after further consultation.

ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES INCORPORATED WITHIN THE PROPOSED

PROJECT

The following are additional mitigation measures applicable to the proposed project that were not included within the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR:

Air Quality
AQ-1: Implement SMAQMD Basic Construction Emission Control Practices, where feasible:
• Water all exposed surfaces two times daily. Exposed surfaces include (but are not limited to) soil piles, graded areas, unpaved parking areas, staging areas, and access roads. • Cover or maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard space on haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material on the site. Any haul trucks that would be traveling along freeways or major roadways shall be covered.
• Use wet power vacuum street sweepers to remove any visible trackout mud or dirt onto adjacent public roads at least once a day. Use of dry power sweeping is prohibited.

Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #110

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

10 • Limit vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour. • All roadway, driveway, sidewalk, and parking lot paving should be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Minimize idling time either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the time of idling to 5 minutes [required by California Code of Regulations, Title 13, sections 2449(d)(3) and 2485]. Provide clear signage that posts this requirement for workers at the entrances to the site.
• Provide current certificate(s) of compliance for CARB’s In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation [California Code of Regulations, Title 13, sections 2249 and 2449.1].

Biological Resources
BIO-1: Prior to the start of construction activities, the Project limits within environmentally sensitive areas (oak woodlands), will be marked with high visibility Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) fencing or staking to ensure construction will not further encroach into sensitive resources.

BIO-2: Contract specifications will include the following Best Management Practices (BMPs), where applicable, to reduce erosion during construction:

1. Exposed soils and material stockpiles would be stabilized, through watering or other measures, to prevent the movement of dust at the Project site caused by wind and construction activities such as traffic and grading activities;

2. All vehicle and equipment fueling/maintenance would be conducted outside of oak woodland habitat;

3. Equipment used in and around oak woodland habitat must be in good working order and free of dripping or leaking contaminants;

4. Raw cement, concrete or concrete washings, asphalt, paint or other coating material, oil or other petroleum products, or any other substances that could be hazardous to wildlife shall be prevented from contaminating the soil;

5. All erosion control measures would be properly maintained throughout construction;

6. All construction materials would be hauled off-site after completion of construction.

BIO-3: All onsite refueling and maintenance must occur over plastic sheeting, drip pans, or other secondary containment measures to capture accidental spills before they can contaminate the soil. Secondary containment must have a raised edge (e.g. sheeting wrapped around wattles).

BIO-4: A chemical spill kit must be kept onsite at all times during work and must be easily accessible for use in the event of a spill.

BIO-5: In accordance with the City of Citrus Heights Tree Preservation and Protection Regulations, protected trees within the Project footprint will be preserved to the extent feasible. For trees removed for the multiuse trail, a tree permit will be obtained from the City prior to construction . Tree impact and avoidance measures shall be incorporated into the final design of the improvement plans. A certified arborist shall consult and make recommendations for design treatments, modifications, and construction techniques to minimize tree removal and construction impacts.

BIO-6: Prior to arrival at the Project site and prior to leaving the Project site, construction equipment that may contain invasive plants and/or seeds will be cleaned to reduce the spreading of noxious weeds.

BIO-7: If project-related activities, including vegetation removal or initial ground disturbance, are scheduled during the nesting bird season (February 1 – August 31) a pre-construction nesting bird survey must be conducted by a biologist prior to the start of work. The nesting bird survey must include the Project Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #111

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

11 area plus a 100 -foot buffer. Within 2 weeks of the nesting bird survey, all areas surveyed by the biologist must be cleared by the contractor or a supplemental nesting bird survey is required.

An approximate 100 -foot no -disturbance buffer will be established around any active nest of migratory birds, and an approximate 300-foot no-disturbance buffer will be established around any nesting birds of prey species. The contractor must immediately stop work in the buffer area until the appropriate buffer is established and is prohibited from conducting work within the buffer until the biologist has determined that the nestlings have fledged and are foraging independently. A reduced buffer, or other avo idance strategies, can be established if deemed appropriate by the City and biologist.

BIO-8: All food-related trash must be disposed of into closed containers and must be removed from the Project area daily. Construction personnel must not feed or otherwise attract wildlife or feral animals to the Project area.

BIO-9: If any wildlife (e.g., amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles, etc.) are encountered during the course of construction, said wildlife shall be allowed to leave the construction area unharmed.

Cultural Resources
CR-1: Prior to construction, cultural resource awareness and sensitivity training shall be provided to all construction crew members to ensure that the crew members are aware of the potential for sensitive cultural resources to be present onsite. The awareness and sensitivity training would also include an established protocol for informing the resident engineer of any accidentally discovered cultural resources.

Treatment of Discoveries:

CR-2: If significant historical, paleontological, archaeological, or tribal cultural resources are discovered within the APE, ground disturbing activities shall be suspended 100 feet around the resource(s). The archaeological monitor, a representative of the appropriate Native American Tribe(s) (if discovery is prehistoric), and the City shall confer regarding mitigation of the discovered resource(s). All discovered archaeological resources should be documented by field notation, analysis, photography, and GPS mapping. Work shall not resume in the area until mitigation has been completed, or it has been determined that the archaeological resource(s) is not significant.

Disposition of Discoveries:

CR-3: If human remains are encountered, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be prehistoric, the Coroner would notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which would determine and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). With the per mission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD shall complete the inspection within 48 hours of notification by the NAHC. The MLD may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials.

CR-4: In the event that Native American cultural resources are inadvertently discovered during the course of construction, the City shall relinquish ownership of all Native American cultural resources, including sacred items, burial goods, and all archaeological artifacts and non-human remains as part of the required mitigation for impacts to Native American cultural resources. Prior to relinquishment, all discovered archaeological resources should be documented by field notation, photography, and GPS mapping. Af ter consultation with the appropriate Native American Tribe(s), non -destructive analysis may be conducted.

Item 16

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

12 Geology and Soils
GEO-1: The Proposed Project will comply with the City’s Stormwater Discharge Control Measures, listed in the City’s Municipal Code (Chapter 98. Article V), which will adequately control erosion and effectively prohibit non -stormwater discharges (City of Citrus Heights 2025 b). To prevent the substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil post -construction, the Project design will comply with the Sacramento Stormwater Quality Partnership’s Stormwater Quality Design Manual for the Sacramento Region (SQDM) to adequately control erosion.

Hazards and Hazardous Material
HM-1: Any leaking transformers observed during the course of the project should be considered a potential polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) hazard. Should leaks from electrical transformers (that will either remain within the construction limits or require removal and/or relocation) be encountered during construction, the transformer fluid should be sampled and analyzed by qualified personnel for detectable levels of PCBs. Should PCBs be detected, the transformer should be removed and disposed of in accordance with Title 22, Division 4.5 of the California Code of Regulations and any other appropriate regulatory agency. Any stained soil encountered below electrical transfor mers with detectable levels of PCB's should also be handled and disposed of in accordance with Title 22, Division 4.5 of the California Code of Regulations and any other appropriate regulatory agency.

HM-2: To avoid impacts from pavement striping during construction it is recommended that removal requirements for yellow striping and pavement marking materials be performed in accordance with Caltrans Standard Special Provision 14 -11.07 REMOVE YELLOW TRAFFIC ST RIPE AND PAVEMENT MARKING WITH HAZARDOUS WASTE RESIDUE.

HM-3: As is the case for any project that proposes excavation, the potential exists for unknown hazardous contamination to be revealed during project construction (such as previously undetected petroleum hydrocarbon contamination from nearby gas stations). Shoul d any previously unknown hazardous waste/material be encountered during construction, the procedures outlined in Caltrans Hazards Procedures for Construction shall be followed.

HM-4: If the project area changes (due to a change in the proposed project design or staging area), further investigation for potential hazardous waste generators would be required to determine their impact to the revised project limits.

Hydrology/Water Quality
HYD-1: The proposed Project would require coverage under the NPDES General Construction Permit for Discharges of storm water associated with construction activities (2022 Construction Stormwater General Permit, Order 2022-0057-DWQ). A Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) would also be developed and implemented as part of the Construction General Permit. This SWPPP will incorporate all applicable BMPs to ensure that adequate measures are taken during construction to minimize impacts to water quality.

Noise
NOI-1: The Contractor shall follow City of Citrus Heights noise ordinance for construction activities:
• Do not exceed 65 dBA at 50 feet from the job site activities from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. • Use an alternative waiting method instead of a sound signal unless required by safety laws. • Equip an internal combustion engine with the manufacturer-recommended muffler. • Do not operate an internal combustion engine on the job site without the appropriate muffler.

14 SECTION 3.0 - ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED

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

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

Based on the analysis presented in this Initial Study, it has been determined that for resource areas not checked above, the proposed project would not result in any significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less-than- significant level or are not sufficiently addressed by the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR . This Initial Study has concluded that the project would incrementally contribute to, but not exceed, certain significant impacts previously identified in the General Plan EIR, and that for such impacts, no new mitigation measures, other than those previously identified in the General Plan EIR, are required.

On the basis of this initial evaluation:

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

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

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

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

I. AESTHETICS – Except as provided in Public
Resources Code Section 21099, would the
project:

a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic
vista? X
b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including,
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic buildings along a scenic highway?
X
c. In nonurbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public
views of the site and its surroundings? (Public
views are those that are experienced from
publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is
in an urbanized area, would the project conflict
with applicable zoning and other regulations
governing scenic quality?
X
d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area?
X

Regulatory Setting
CEQA establishes that it is the policy of the state to take all action necessary to provide the people of the state “with…enjoyment of aesthetic, natural, scenic and historic environmental qualities (CA Public Resources Code Section 21001[b]).”
Chapter 106.39 of the Citrus Heights Zoning Code provides regulations for the protection, preservation, and maintenance of protected trees. The ordinance protects native oak trees, oak woodlands, trees of historic or cultural significance, groves and stands of mature trees, and mature trees associated with development proposals.

Affected Environment And Environmental Consequences
The Project area is not located immediately adjacent to any state eligible scenic highways. The CCHGP EIR states that Old Auburn Road “ has a rural character that is distinct from Auburn Boulevard. This is especially true for the area located east of its intersection with Auburn Boulevard. The parcels along Old Auburn Road are large single family lots containing tall, mature trees and landscaping. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks along this road are intermittent, mostly occurring adjacent to newer developments” (Citrus Heights 2011b).

The CCHGP EIR evaluated the potential for degradation of the visual character of the City through urban development and redevelopment. The CCHGP EIR concluded that, through the implementation of General Plan policies that the impact to the current visual character present within and surrounding the planning area would be less than significant (Citrus Heights 2011b).

The CCHGP EIR evaluated the potential for impacts due to new sources of light and glare through urban development and redevelopment. Implementation of General Plan policies and actions would ensure that new Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #116

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

16 lighting and glare sources would be designed and installed in locations that minimize the encroachment of lighting and spillover light and glare onto other properties and into the sky. The CCHGP EIR concluded that, through the implementation of General Plan policies that impacts from new sources of light and glare would be less than significant (Citrus Heights 2011b).

The CCHGP EIR evaluated the potential for impacts due to the loss of native trees and/or heritage trees from the construction of infrastructure, roadways, and buildings. The CCHGP EIR addresses impacts to trees with Draft General Plan policies and actions and the City’s Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance.

Discussion

a. No Impact. There are no state or locally designated scenic highways in the vicinity of the proposed project. Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way are not a designated or eligible scenic highway. The Project would not cause adverse effects o n a scenic vista.

b. Less than Significant. The Project will require tree removal; however, the portions of the road and trail where trees are required to be removed are not designated as scenic.

c. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed Project is located in an urbanized area. The Proposed Project does not conflict with applicable zoning or other City regulations governing scenic quality. Mitigation Measure BIO-5 requires the Proposed Project to obtain a City tree permit for trees to be removed for the multiuse trail. Trees will be avoided to the extent feasible. The intersection improvements and additional bicycle lanes do not have the potential to substantially degrade the existing visual character of the site.

d. Less than Significant. Streetlights are present on Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way. The Project will construct sidewalks with streetlights along segments of Old Auburn Road and Wachtel Way that do not currently have sidewalks. The Project would construct three roundabouts at existing Argo Drive, Wachtel Way, and Linda Creek Court/Oakwood Hills Circle intersections on Old Auburn Road. Two additional streetlights will be installed with each roundabout. Lighting would be provided consistent with the Zoning Code, which requires that lights be shielded to avoid excessive off -site glare. The potential impact would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures from City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR that apply to the Project None. The Citrus Heights General Plan EIR Section 4. 6-3 concludes that w ith the implementation of Draft General Plan policies and actions and the City’s Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance, impacts on native trees and/or heritage trees would be prevented or adequate compensation would be provided. For this reason this impact is considered less than significant. The Citrus Heights General Plan EIR Section 4.12-2 determines that new sources of light and glare are less-than-significant.

Additional Project-Level Mitigation Measures
BIO-5: In accordance with the City of Citrus Heights Tree Preservation and Protection Regulations, protected trees within the Project footprint will be preserved to the extent feasible. For trees removed for the multiuse trail, a tree permit will be obtained from the City prior to construction . Tree impact and avoidance measures shall be incorporated into the final design of the improvement plans. A certified arborist shall consult and make recommendations for design treatments, modifications, and construction techniques to minimize tree removal and construction impacts.

Regulatory Setting

Federal and State

Clean Air Act
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is responsible for addressing national and interstate air pollution issues and setting policies. The EPA sets national vehicle and stationary source emission standards, oversees approval of all State Implementation Plans, provides research and guidance for air pollution programs, and sets National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), also known as Federal standards. There are Federal standards for the following criteria air pollutants, which were identified from provisions of the Clean Air Act of 1970:

• Ozone;
• Particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5);
• Nitrogen dioxide;
• Carbon monoxide (CO); and
• Lead; and
• Sulfur dioxide.

Federal standards were set to protect public health, including that of sensitive individuals; thus, the standards continue to change as more medical research is available regarding the health effects of the criteria pollutants.

Primary Federal standards are the levels of air quality necessary, with an adequate margin of safety, to protect the public health, per 40 CFR 50.2.

State Implementation Plan
A State Implementation Plan is a document prepared by each state describing existing air quality conditions and measures that would be followed to attain and maintain Federal standards. The State Implementation Plan Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #120

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

20 for the State of California is administered by the CARB, which has overall responsibility for Statewide air quality maintenance and air pollution prevention. California’s State Implementation Plan incorporates individual Federal attainment plans for regional air districts—air districts prepare their Federal attainment plans, which are sent to the CARB to be approved and incorporated into the California State Implementation Plan.

Federal attainment plans include the technical foundation for understanding air quality (e.g., emission inventories and air quality monitoring), control measures and strategies, and enforcement mechanisms.

Federal and State Ambient Air Quality Standards
California and the federal government have established standards for several different pollutants. For some pollutants, separate standards have been set for different measurement periods. Most standards have been set to protect public health. For some poll utants, standards have been based on other values (such as protection of crops, protection of materials, or avoidance of nuisance conditions). The pollutants of greatest concern in the Project area are ozone, particulate matter-2.5 microns (PM2.5) and particulate matter-10 microns (PM10). Table 2 shows the state and federal attainment status within Sacramento County for a variety of pollutants.

The Federal Clean Air Act requires the EPA to designate areas as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassified for the NAAQS. These designations are similar to their state-level counterparts. Areas that were nonattainment but have recently achieved attainment are referred to as maintenance areas.

Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) is the primary agency responsible for planning to meet Federal and State ambient air quality standards in Sacramento County and the larger Sacramento Ozone Nonattainment Area.

The SMAQMD operates monitoring stations in Sacramento County, develops rules, regulations, and CEQA thresholds for stationary sources and equipment, prepares emissions inventory and air quality management planning documents, and conducts source testing and inspections. Table 4 depicts the SMAQMD Thresholds of Significance for Projects subject to CEQA (SMAQMD 2020). All projects are subject to the adopted SMAQMD rules and regulations.

The SMAQMD’s air quality management plans include control measures and strategies to be implemented to attain State and Federal ambient air quality standards in Sacramento County. The SMAQMD then implements these control measures as regulations to control or reduce criteria pollutant emissions from stationary sources or equipment. Applicable SMAQMD attainment plans include:

• An 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan; and • Revised 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan.

The 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Program Plan (CARB 2023a) describes measures to be implemented by the air districts in the Sacramento Federal Nonattainment Area (SFNA). This plan includes the information and analyses to fulfill the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for demonstrating reasonable further progress and attainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Sacramento region. In addition, this plan establishes a n updated emissions inventory projected for a 20 32 attainment date, pr ovides photochemical modeling results, proposes the implementation of reasonably available control measures, and sets new motor vehicle emission budgets for transportation conformity purposes for the reasonable further progress milestone years and the 20 32 attainment year. The emission reduction strategy is based on reductions in both reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

Future Federal and State control measures include advanced clean fleets regulation, zero -emissions trucks, motorcycle new emissions standards, clean miles standard, cleaner off -road (including zero emissions), consumer products standards, zero -emissions for space and water heaters, locomotive regulations , aviation emission reductions, local mobile source control program, conversion of diesel-powered transport refrigeration units to zero-emission technologies, and other measures (SMAQMD 2024b).

2nd 10-Year PM10 Implementation/Maintenance Plan for Sacramento County On September 23, 2021, the SMAQMD Governing Board approved the PM10 maintenance plan (SMAQMD 2023b). This plan includes updated emission inventories, demonstrates maintenance of the PM10 standard, provides an updated control measure evaluation, and establishes new motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEB).

The plan was submitted to the USEPA for approval and the Final Rule was published on March 14, 2024, effective April 15, 2024.

2015 Triennial Report and Air Quality Plan Update
This plan is intended to comply with the requirements of the California Clean Air Act (CCAA) as related to bringing the region into compliance with the CAAQS for ozone. The SMAQMD has prepared several triennial progress reports that build upon the 1994 Sac ramento Area Regional Ozone Attainment Plan. The 2015 Triennial Report and Air Quality Plan Update (SMAQMD 201 5) is the most recent report. The triennial progress report includes a current emission inventory and projected future inventories of ROG and NOx emissions in Sacramento County. The future inventories reflect population growth rates, travel, employment, industrial/commercial activities, and energy use, as well as controls imposed through local, State, and Federal emission reduction measures. The triennial report discusses rules that the SMAQMD has adopted during the previous three years, incentive programs th at have been implemented, and other measures that would supplement those in the Ozone Attainment Plan to achieve the required five percent per year reduction required by the CCAA.

The SMAQMD also has several rules that relate to the proposed Project, which are summarized below.

Rule 201 – General Permit Requirements: Requires any Project that includes the use of certain equipment capable of releasing emissions to the atmosphere as part of Project operation to obtain a permit from the SMAQMD prior to operation of the equipment. The applicant, developer, or operator of a Project that includes an emergency generator, boiler, or heater should contact the SMAQMD to determine if a permit is required.

Portable construction equipment with an internal combustion engine with over 50 horsepower are required to have a SMAQMD permit or a CARB portable equipment registration.

Rule 401 – Ringelmann Chart: Prohibits individuals from discharging into the atmosphere from any single source of emissions whatsoever any air contaminant whose opacity exceeds certain specified limits.

Rule 402 – Nuisance: To protect the public health, Rule 402 prohibits any person from discharging such Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #125

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

25 quantities of air contaminants that cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public.

Rule 403 – Fugitive Dust: Requires a person to take every reasonable precaution not to cause or allow the emissions of fugitive dust from being airborne beyond the property line from which the emission originates, from construction, handling or storage activity, or any wrecking, excavation, grading, clearing of land or solid waste disposal operation.

Rule 453 – Cutback and Emulsified Asphalt Paving Materials: Asphalt paving operations that may be associated with implementation of a Project would be subject to Rule 453. This rule applies to the manufacture and use of cutback asphalt and emulsified asphalt for paving and maintenance operations.

Rule 902 – Asbestos: To protect the public health and the environment, Rule 902 sets specific procedures to follow regarding handling, transport, and disposal of asbestos containing materials.

The Guide to Air Quality Assessment in Sacramento County also provides methods to analyze air quality impacts from plans and projects, including screening criteria, thresholds of significance, calculation methods, as well as mitigation measures that help assist lead agencies in complying with the CEQA. These guidelines require that basic construction emission control practices be implemented for emissions regardless of the significance determination.

Toxic Air Contaminants
A toxic air contaminant (TAC) is defined as an air pollutant that may cause or contribute to an increase in mortality or serious illness, or that may pose a hazard to human health. TACs are usually present in minute quantities in the ambient air; however, their high toxicity or health risk may pose a threat to public health even at low concentrations. The California Almanac of Emissions and Air Quality (CARB 2013) present the relevant concentration and cancer risk data for the ten TACs that pose the most substantial health risk in California based on available data. These TACs are as follows: acetaldehyde, benzene, 1.3 -butadiene, carbon tetrachloride, hexavalent chromium, para-dichlorobenzene, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, and DPM.

Some studies indicate that DPM poses the greatest health risk among the TACs listed above. A 10-year research program (CARB 2024a) demonstrated that DPM from diesel -fueled engines is a human carcinogen and that chronic (long-term) inhalation exposure to DPM poses a chronic health risk. In addition to increasing the risk of lung cancer, exposure to diesel exhaust can have other healt h effects. Diesel exhaust can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, and it can cause coughs, headaches, lightheadedness, and nausea. Diesel exhaust is a major source of fine particulate pollution as well, and studies have linked elevated particle levels in the air to increased hospital admissions, emergency room visits, asthma attacks, and premature deaths among those suffering from respiratory problems.

DPM differs from other TACs in that it is not a single substance but a complex mixture of hundreds of substances. Although DPM is emitted by diesel -fueled, internal combustion engines, the composition of the emissions varies, depending on engine type, operating conditions, fuel composition, lubricating oil, and whether an emission control system is present. Unlike the other TACs, however, no ambient monitoring data are available for DPM because no routine measurement method currently exists. The CARB has made preliminary concentration estimates based on a DPM exposure method. This method uses the CARB emissions inventory’s PM10 database, ambient PM10 monitoring data, and the results from several studies to estimate concentrations of DPM.

Odors
Odors are generally regarded as an annoyance rather than a health hazard. However, manifestations of a person’s reaction to foul odors can range from psychological (e.g., emotional reaction) to physiological (e.g., nausea).

Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #126

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

26 With respect to odors, the human nose is the sole sensing device. The ability to detect odors is subjective and varies considerably among the population. Some individuals have the ability to smell very minute quantities of specific substances; others may n ot have the same sensitivity but may have sensitivities to odors of other substances. In addition, people may have different reactions to the same odor; an odor that is offensive to one person may be perfectly acceptable to another.

The Sacramento Valley Basinwide Air Pollution Control Council The Sacramento Valley Basinwide Air Pollution Control Council (Control Council) is authorized pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section (HSC) section 40900 to carry out the following activities relevant to the Proposed Project pursuant to State Law and the CCR (reference HSC Section 41865 and Section 41866; CCR Section 80100 et seq.):

• Assist Districts in the Sacramento Valley Air Basin in coordinating all air pollution control activities to ensure that the entire Sacramento Valley Air Basin is, or will be, in compliance with the requirements of State and Federal law.

Setting

For the purposes of this document, the City of Citrus Heights General Plan (2011a) and EIR ( 2011b)was referenced for this section. The proposed project is located within the Sacramento Valley Air Basin (SVAB), in the region administered by the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD), which administers air quality in the City of Citrus Heights . The SVAB has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. During the year, the temperature may range f rom 20 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit with summer highs usually in the 90s and winter lows occasionally below freezing.

Average annual rainfall is about 20 inches with snowfall being very rare. Summer high temperatures as measured at the Sacramento Executive Ai rport Federal Aviation Administration - Flight Service Station (the nearest climatic monitoring station to the Project) average in the low 90s ºF and summer low temperatures average in the upper 50s ºF. Winter conditions are characterized by occasional rai nstorms, interspersed with stagnant and sometimes foggy weather. Wintertime high temperatures average in the mid -upper 50s ºF and winter low temperatures average in the high 30s ºF (Western Regional Climate Center 2025).

The mountains surrounding the Sacramento Valley create an airflow barrier, which can trap air pollutants in the valley when meteorological conditions are right, and a temperature inversion exists. Air stagnation in the autumn and early winter occurs when large high -pressure cells lie over the valley. The lack of surface wind during these periods and the reduced vertical flow caused by less surface heating reduces the influx of outside air and allows pollutants to become concentrated in the air. The surface concentrations of pollutants are highest when these conditions are combined with increased levels of smoke or when temperature inversions trap cool air, fog and pollutants near the ground.

The ozone season (May through October) in the Sacramento Valley is characterized by stagnant morning air or light winds with the Delta sea breeze arriving in the afternoon out of the southwest. Usually, the evening breeze transports the airborne pollutants to the north out of the Sacramento Valley. During about half of the days from July to September, however, a phenomenon called the “Schultz Eddy” prevents this from occurring. Instead of allowing for the prevailing wind patterns to move north carrying the pollutants out of the valley, the Schultz Eddy causes the wind pattern and pollutants to circle back southward. This phenomenon’s effect exacerbates the pollution levels in the area and increases the likelihood of violating the federal and state air quality standards.

Sacramento County is located within the boundaries of the Sacramento Valley Air Basin. The Sacramento Valley Air Basin is bounded by the North Coast Ranges on the west and the Northern Sierra Nevada Mountains on the east. The intervening terrain is flat. S acramento is often described as a bowl shaped valley. The Sacramento Valley’s climate and topography contribute to the formation and transport of photochemical Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #127

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

27 pollutants throughout the region. The region experiences temperature inversions that limit atmospheric mixing and trap pollutants, resulting in high pollutant concentrations near the ground surface. Generally, the lower the inversion base height from the g round and the greater the temperature increase from base to top, the more pronounced the inhibiting effect of the inversion will be on pollutant dispersion. Consequently, the highest concentrations of photochemical pollutants occur from late spring to earl y fall when photochemical reactions are greatest because of more intense sunlight and the lower altitude of daytime inversion layers. Surface inversions (those at altitudes of 0 –500 ft above sea level) are most frequent during winter, and subsidence inversions (those at 1,000–2,000 ft above sea level) are most common in summer.

Existing air quality conditions in the project area can be characterized in terms of the ambient air quality standards that the state of California (California Ambient Air Quality Standards [CAAQS]) and the federal government NAAQS that have been established for several different pollutants. Most pollutant standards have been established to protect public health. For other pollutants, standards have been based on other values (such as protection of crops, protection of materials, or avoidance of nuisance co nditions). Ambient air pollutant concentrations are measured at 35 permanent monitoring stations throughout the Sacramento Valley Air Basin.

The federal and state governments have established ambient air quality standards for six criteria pollutants:
ozone, CO, NO2, SO2, particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), and lead. Sacramento County is in State designated nonattainment for ozone (8-hour and 1-hour) and PM10. The project location is in attainment or unclassified for all other CAAQS criteria pollutants. Table 2 summarizes the CAAQS criteria pollutants and the attainment status of the project location.

Standards of Significance

For purposes of this Initial Study, air quality impacts may be considered significant if construction and/or implementation of the Proposed Project would result in the following impacts that remain significant after implementation of General Plan policies or mitigation from the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR:

• Construction emissions of NOx above 85 pounds per day for City of Citrus Heights; • Operational emissions of NOx or ROG above 65 pounds per day for City of Citrus Heights; • Violation of any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation;
• PM10 concentrations equal to or greater than five percent of the State ambient air quality standard (i.e., 50 micrograms/cubic meter for 24 hours) in areas where there is evidence of existing or projected violations of this standard. However, if project emissions of NO x and ROG are below the emission thresholds given above, then the project would not result in violations of the PM 10 ambient air quality standards;
• CO concentrations that exceed the 1 -hour state ambient air quality standard (i.e., 20.0 ppm) or the 8 - hour state ambient standard (i.e., 9.0 ppm); or
• Exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

Ambient air quality standards have not been established for toxic air contaminants (TAC). TAC exposure is deemed to be significant if:

• TAC exposures create a risk of 10 in 1 million for stationary sources or substantially increase the risk of exposure to TACs from mobile sources.

Summary of Analysis under the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR

The General Plan EIR addressed the potential effects of the General Plan on ambient air quality and the potential for exposure of people, especially sensitive receptors such as children or the elderly, to unhealthful pollutant concentrations. See General Plan EIR, Chapter 4.3.

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

28 Policies in the General Plan in Environmental Resources were identified as mitigating potential effects of development that could occur under the General Plan, including calling for the City to work with the California Air Resources Board and the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) to meet state and federal air quality standards. The Master EIR identified exposure to sources of toxic air contaminants (TAC) as a potential effect. Policies in the General Plan would reduce the effect to a less-than-significant level.

The policies include requiring consideration of current guidance provided by the Air Resources Board and SMAQMD; requiring development adjacent to stationary or mobile TAC sources to be designed with consideration of such exposure in design, landscaping and filters.

Discussion

a. No Impact. A project is considered to conflict with or obstruct implementation of regional air quality plans if it would be inconsistent with the emissions inventories contained in the regional air quality plans. Emission inventories are developed based on projected increases in population growth and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) within the region. The proposed Project would construct intersection enhancements, as well as the installation of pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as multi-use pathways, Class IV bikeway s, crosswalks, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) -compliant curb ramps.

The Project would serve the existing community and would not result in an increase in population or VMT. Implementation of the proposed Project would increase the connectivity of the City’s off-street trail network and encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation, potentially reducing the use of personal motor vehicles. Long -term operation of the proposed Project is anticipated to result in overall beneficial air quality impacts and would not conflict with existing or future air quality planning efforts. Therefore, no impact would occur.

b. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Sacramento County is currently designated as in “attainment” for all State and federal ambient air quality standards, except ozone (non-attainment status under State and Federal), PM10 (non-attainment status under State), and PM2.5 (non-attainment status under Federal). The current “non‐attainment” status for ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 signifies that these pollutant concentrations have exceeded the established standards.

In order to evaluate ozone and other criteria air pollutant emissions and support attainment goals for those pollutants, the SMAQMD developed the Guide to Air Quality Assessment in Sacramento County which has established significance thresholds for emissions of PM2.5 and PM10, and ozone precursors – reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrous oxides (NOx). The significance thresholds, expressed in pounds per day (lbs./day), listed in Table 5 below represent the SMAQMD’s current established thresholds of significance for use in the evaluation of air quality impacts associated with proposed land development projects. Thus, if the proposed Project’s emissions exceed the pollutant thresholds presented in Table 5, the Project would have the potential to result in significant effects to air quality and affect the attainment of federal and State Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Short-term increases in emissions would occur during construction. The construction period would be limited and temporary. According to SMAQMD CEQA Guideline s, construction-generated NOx and PM emissions shall be evaluated for significance under CEQA on a daily mass emission basis because they are pollutants of regional concern.

Short-term construction-related emissions resulting from the Project construction were estimated using the SMAQMD Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0, a spreadsheet -based model specifically designed to estimate emissions for various types of highway improvements projects in the Sacramento region (Appendix B). Table 6 provides the results of the Road Construction Emissions Model for each of the Alternative’s construction phase compared to SMAQMD thresholds of significance.

The Project would be well below emissions levels for NOx. The Project would generate minimal amounts of PM10 and PM2.5 based on the construction emissions model; therefore, SMAQMD Basic Construction Emission Control Practices as described in mitigation mea sure AQ-1 should be implemented where feasible. With the implementation of measure AQ-1, any potentially significant impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level; therefore, impacts to air quality standards are considered less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

Because construction and operational emissions are temporary and expected to be below the thresholds, the project is not expected to violate any air quality standards. The proposed project would not increase the capacity of the roadway; no additional trips or delays are expected to result from the project. The proposed project would not result in an additional significant impact that was not addressed in the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR.

c. Less than Significant. The nearest sensitive receptors are residences located directly adjacent to Old Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #130

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

30 Auburn Road and Wachtel Way. Construction activities, which involve the use of diesel -powered equipment, are short -term and emissions are expected to be well below the thresholds. Operational emissions are not expected to increase, as discussed for Question B. Despite a low-impact expectation for this project, measures for construction activities are still recommended to further reduce impacts on sensitive receptors.

SMAQMD has established screen -level criteria for the assessment of significant impacts from construction-related emissions of fugitive dust. These criteria are based on a project’s maximum actively disturbed area. Construction activities that would disturb less than 15.0 acres per day would be required to implement the appropriate level of mitigation, identified as “Basic Construction Emission Control Practices,” for all projects to further minimize construction-related impacts regardless of the CEQA significance determination. Because the proposed project would disturb an area less than 15 acres, BMPs have been included from the “Basic Construction Emission Control Practices” to reduce construction-related emissions of fugitive dust (see City Code: 15.40.050 and 15.44.170; SMAQMD Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust) and their Basic Construction Emissions Control Practices).

PM10 emissions are assumed to be below the thresholds because Construction NO x emissions are temporary. There are no construction ROG thresholds, and both NOx and ROG operational thresholds are not expected to be exceeded. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in an additional significant impact that was not addressed in the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR.

SMAQMD defines sensitive receptors as facilities that house or attract children, the elderly, people with illnesses, or others who are especially sensitive to the effects of air pollutants or may experience adverse effects from unhealthful concentrations o f air pollutants. Hospitals, clinics, schools, convalescent facilities, and residential areas are examples of sensitive receptors. The nearest sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project site are residences directly adjacent to the project site.

Construction activities are anticipated to involve the operation of diesel-powered equipment. In 1998, the CARB identified diesel exhaust as a TAC. Cancer health risks associated with exposures to diesel exhaust typically are associated with chronic exposure, in which a 70-year exposure period is often assumed. Although elevated cancer rates can result from exposure periods of less than 70 years, acute exposure (i.e., exposure periods of 2 to 3 years) to diesel exhaust typically is not anticipated to result in an increased health risk because acute exposure typically does not result in exposure concentrations that would represent a health risk.

Health impacts associated with exposure to diesel exhaust from project construction are not anticipated to be significant because the duration of the construction activities is expected to occur well below the 70-year exposure period used in health risk assessments. Construction of the Project is anticipated to last approximately 6 months, with an estimated 130 working days assuming there will be 22 working days a month , which is considerably shorter than the 70 -year exposure period used in health risk assessments for health impacts associated with exposure to diesel exhaust from Project construction .

Therefore, construction of the project is not anticipated to result in an elevated cancer risk to exposed persons. No mitigation is required. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in an additional significant impact that was not addressed in the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR. Overall exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations from the proposed Project would be le ss than significant and no mitigation is required. Overall exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations from the proposed Project would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.

d. Less than Significant. While offensive odors rarely cause physical harm, they can be unpleasant, leading to annoyance and distress among the public and can generate citizen complaints to local governments and air districts. Project-related odor emissions would be limited to times when equipment Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #131

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

31 would be utilized for construction and emission from equipment may be evident in the immediate surrounding area. Construction activities would be short -term and would not result in the creation of long-term objectionable odor because they would be quickly dispersed after equipment utilization.

Therefore, due to the short-term nature of the construction activities, combined with limited exposure to sensitive receptors, impacts associated with development of the Project are considered less than significant and no mitigation is required.

Mitigation Measures from City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR that apply to the Project None.

Additional Project-Level Mitigation Measures
AQ-1: Implement SMAQMD Basic Construction Emission Control Practices, where feasible:
• Water all exposed surfaces two times daily. Exposed surfaces include (but are not limited to) soil piles, graded areas, unpaved parking areas, staging areas, and access roads. • Cover or maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard space on haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material on the site. Any haul trucks that would be traveling along freeways or major roadways shall be covered.
• Use wet power vacuum street sweepers to remove any visible trackout mud or dirt onto adjacent public roads at least once a day. Use of dry power sweeping is prohibited. • Limit vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour. • All roadway, driveway, sidewalk, and parking lot paving should be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.
• Minimize idling time either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the time of idling to 5 minutes [required by California Code of Regulations, Title 13, sections 2449(d)(3) and 2485]. Provide clear signage that posts this requirement for workers at the entrances to the site.
• Provide current certificate(s) of compliance for CARB’s In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulation [California Code of Regulations, Title 13, sections 2249 and 2449.1].

33 • Native Plant Protection Act (CDFW Code 1900-1913)
• City of Citrus Heights Tree Preservation and Protection Ordinance (Code 106.39)

Federal Endangered Species Act

The Federal Endangered Species Act defines ‘take’ (Section 9) and prohibits ‘taking’ of a listed endangered or threatened species (16 USC 1532, 50 CFR 17.30. If a federally listed species could be harmed by a project, Section 7 or 10 consultations must be initiated, and an Incidental Take Permit must be obtained (16 USC 1539, 50 CFR 13).

Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act

Migratory birds are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (16 USC 703-711).

The MBTA makes it unlawful to take, possess, buy, sell, purchase, or barter any migratory bird listed in 50 CFR Part 10 including feathers or other p arts, nests, eggs, or products, except as allowed by implementing regulations (50 CFR 21). All migratory bird species are protected by the MBTA. Any removal of active nests during the breeding season or any disturbance that results in the abandonment of nestlings is considered a ‘take’ of the species under federal law.

City of Citrus Heights Municipal Code – Tree Preservation and Protection Regulations

The City has adopted Tree Preservation and Protection Regulations to conserve its urban forest, with a particular focus on native oak trees. These regulations require permits for the removal or substantial pruning of protected trees and are intended to bal ance development with long -term environmental stewardship (City of Citrus Heights 2025a). Pursuant to thew City’s Municipal Code Section 106.39.020(c)(5), street widening projects are exempt from these requirements, whereas trail and multimodal projects are subject to the City’s tree ordinance.

Therefore, the road improvements portion of Project does not require tree removal permits or off-site mitigation for the removal of native oak trees, whereas the trail segments to require tree removal permits.

Setting

For the purposes of this document, the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR, and all associated technical studies were referenced for this section. Dokken Engineering biologists prepared a Natural Environment Study (Minimal Impacts) for the Citrus Heights Gateway Activation Project (Dokken 2025) and is included as Appendix C.

Regionally, the Project area is located in the northeastern portion of the City of Citrus Heights, California, along the north-central extent of Sacramento County. The Project area lies within the Sacramento Valley Subregion of the Central Western California Floristic Province (Jepson 2025).

The Project area is in an area of mostly residential land uses . Few remnant natural habitats are present in the area immediately adjacent to the roadway. These habitats have been highly disturbed through urbanization and various degrees of landform alteration. Small stands of native oaks trees are found within the Project area.

Landscaped areas or areas of ruderal vegetation are most common along the corridor (see Figure 3, Figure 4, and Appendix D. Representative Site Photographs).

Urban/developed areas comprise most of the land cover within the Project area. This land cover type includes portions of various roadways including Old Auburn Road, Wachtel Way, Linda Creek Court, Oakwood Hills Circle, Argo Drive, Conover Drive and Robert Creek Court. These roadways are paved, heavily trafficked and devoid of vegetation. Also included in this land cover type are residential homes and associated landscaping, including planted ornamental vegetation and lawns.

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

40 Ruderal, primarily composed of non -native weed species, thrives in disturbed areas where natural plant communities have been altered by human or natural disturbances. Within the Project area, it is found in small strips along the edges of the roadway, adjacent to residential parcels.

Annual grassland habitats are open grasslands composed primarily of annual plant species. This habitat type is found in five small patches within the BSA, along Wachtel Way. These areas are comprised of various annual grasses and herbaceous species. Annual grassland habitat could provide suitable foraging habitat for a variety of wildlife including birds, mammals and reptiles.

The biological survey conducted on April 24, 2025, did not identify any jurisdictional waters or wetlands within the Project area; therefore, no impacts to jurisdictional aquatic features are anticipated. Oak woodlands, a habitat of special concern, was observed at the eastern and western extents of the BSA. This habitat type is comprised of a variety of mature oak species including valley oak (Quercus lobata), interior live oak (Quercus wislizeni), and blue oak ( Quercus douglasii) trees. The understory is comprised of Himalayan blackberry and various annual grass species including wild oat ( Avena fatua), ripgut brome ( Bromus diandrus), and foxtail barley (Hordeum murinum). Oak woodlands provide food, habitat and cover for many species of wildlife, including birds and mammals. The Project is expected to result in minor permanent impacts to oak woodlands. No other habitats of special concern were identified within the Project area or will be affected by Project activities.

Prior to field work, literature research was conducted through the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) official species list generator, the CDFW California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Electronic Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants (included in Appendix C. NES, Dokken 2025b), to identify habitats and special status species having the potential to occur within the Biological Study Area

Sensitive Habitats

Sensitive habitats include sensitive natural plan communities and other habitats designated and/or regulated by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Under Secti on 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), wetlands and other waters of the U.S. are subject to the jurisdiction of USACE. Aquatic habitats may receive protection under California statutes including Section 1602 of the California Fish and Wildlife Code and the C alifornia Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act.

Special Status Species

Special status species are plants and animals in the following categories:

• Species that are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and/or California Endangered Species Act (CESA) as rare, threatened, or endangered;
• Species considered as candidates and proposed for state or federal listing as threatened or endangered; • Wildlife designated by CDFW as species of special concern; and • Plants ranked by CDFW as “rare, threatened, or endangered” in California.

The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), maintained by the CDFW, is considered as the most current and reliable tool for tracking occurrences of special status species in California.

Special Status Species Evaluation

The special status species evaluation considers those species identified as having relative scarcity and/or declining populations by the USFWS or CDFW. Special status species include those formally listed as Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #141

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

41 threatened or endangered, those proposed for formal listing, candidates for federal listing, and those classified as Species of Concern by USFWS or Species of Special Concern by CDFW. Species considered to be “special animals” or “fully protected” by the C DFW or rare, threatened, or endangered in California by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) were also included in the evaluation.

Setting and Methods

Plant and animal species have special status if they have been listed as such by Federal or State agencies or by one or more special interest groups, such as CNPS. Prior to the field survey, literature searches were conducted using USFWS IPaC, CDFW CNDDB, and CNPS databases to identify regionally sensitive species with potential to occur within the BSA. The Special Status Species with Potential to Occur in the Project Vicinity (Appendix C. NES, Special Status Species Potential Table) provides the list of regional special status species returned by the database searches, describes the habitat requirements for each species, and states if the species was determined to have potential to occur within the BSA. It was determined that no special status plant or wildlife species have the potential to occur within the BSA, due to a lack of suitable habitat communities and/or lack of local occurrences. No special status plant or wildlife species were observed during the April 24, 2025, biological survey.

Wildlife observed within the BSA consisted of locally common bird species such as bushtit (Psaltriparus minimus), cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) and mourning dove (Zenaida macroura). Bird activity was mainly observed within large trees within the BSA, where suitable nesting and foraging habitat is available for local bird species.

Based on Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines, an impact on biological resources is considered significant if implementation of the General Plan would:

• Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? • Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in loc8al or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
• Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
• Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
• Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? or
• Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?

The City of Citrus Heights General Plan established local policies protecting biological resources. There would be no conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. Compliance with City tree preservation ordinances will be required prior to the start of construction and will be discussed further as a potentially significant impact.

No adopted or planned HCP or NCCP covers the planning area. For this reason, there would be no conflicts Item 16

42 between the proposed project and any HCP or NCCP. This significance criterion is not discussed further in the EIR.

Summary of Analysis under the City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR

Chapter 4.6.1 of the General Plan EIR evaluated the effects of the General Plan on biological resources within the general plan policy area. The General Plan EIR identified potential impacts in terms of degradation of the quality of the environment or redu ction of habitat or population below self -sustaining levels of special status birds, through the loss of both nesting and foraging habitat.

Policies in the General Plan were identified as mitigating the effects of development that could occur under the provisions of the General Plan. Policy ER 34.3 requires the City to consider the potential impact on sensitive plants for each project and to require pre-construction surveys when appropriate.

The General Plan EIR concluded that the cumulative effects of development that could occur under the General Plan would be less than significant as they related to effects on special status plant species, reduction of habitat for special status invertebrat es, loss of habitat for special status birds, loss of habitat for special status amphibians and reptiles, loss of habitat for special status mammals, special status fish and, in general, loss of riparian habitat, wetlands and sensitive natural communities.

The General Plan concluded that the cumulative effects of development that could occur under would be less than significant with mitigation incorporated as they related to effects on special status plant species, reduction of habitat for special status invertebrates, loss of habitat for special status birds, loss of habitat for special status amphibians and reptiles, loss of habitat for special status mammals, special status fish and, in general, loss of riparian habitat, wetlands and sensitive natural communities.

Discussion

a. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. No special status species are presumed present within the project area. Considering the amount of development and hardscape in the project area, the current frequency and volume of human activity and the implementation of minimization and avoidance measures incorporated into the project design, th e project would not have an adverse effect to special status species. To minimize and avoid potential impacts to potential wildlife, including nesting birds, the project would comply with mitigation measures BIO-1 through BIO-9.

b. Less than Significant. As shown in Figure 4, riparian habitat was not observed within the project construction limits.

c. No impact. The biological survey conducted on April 24, 2025, did not identify any waters or wetlands within the project area.

d. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. No interference would take place with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with any established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors. Project construction will take place mostly on landscaped and hardscape area. To protect migratory birds , mitigation measure BIO-7 will be implemented to ensure protection of migratory nesting birds.

e. Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project is subject to the City of Citrus Heights Tree Ordinance. Trees may be impacted by the proposed project . The trees will be removed prior to construction along the widened road and multiuse pathway . Alternatives 1 and 2 would affect up to 0.19 and 0.11 acres of oak woodland habitat, respectively. According to the City of Citrus Heights Tree Preservation and Protection Regulations, native oak trees are 6 inches or more in Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #143

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

43 diameter, and mature trees 19 inches or more in diameter are protected and require a permit for removal.

Some removals may require the replanting of trees or the payment of a mitigation fee and a report from a certified arborist. An arborist survey will be conducted by a certified arborist to determine species found within the project area, and, if necessary, a tree removal permit will be obtained from both Cities prior to construction. Mitigation measure BIO-1 through BIO-9 will also be implemented to furt her reduce impacts to vegetation within the project area.

f. No Impact. No adopted Habitat Conservation Plan s or other similar plan cover the Project area.

Mitigation Measures from City of Citrus Heights General Plan EIR that apply to the Project None.

Additional Project-Level Mitigation Measures
BIO-1: Prior to the start of construction activities, the Project limits within environmentally sensitive areas (oak woodlands), will be marked with high visibility Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) fencing or staking to ensure construction will not further encroach into sensitive resources.

BIO-2: Contract specifications will include the following Best Management Practices (BMPs), where applicable, to reduce erosion during construction:

2. All vehicle and equipment fueling/maintenance would be conducted outside of oak woodland habitat;

3. Equipment used in and around oak woodland habitat must be in good working order and free of dripping or leaking contaminants;

5. All erosion control measures would be properly maintained throughout construction;

6. All construction materials would be hauled off-site after completion of construction.

BIO-4: A chemical spill kit must be kept onsite at all times during work and must be easily accessible for use in the event of a spill.

BIO-5: In accordance with the City of Citrus Heights Tree Preservation and Protection Regulations, protected trees within the Project footprint will be preserved to the extent feasible. For trees removed for the multiuse trail, a tree permit will be obtained from the City prior to construction. Tree impact and avoidance measures shall be incorporated into the final design of the improvement plans. A certified arborist shall consult and make recommendations for design treatments, modifications, and construction techniques to minimize tree removal and construction impacts.

44 be conducted by a biologist prior to the start of work. The nesting bird survey must include the Project area plus a 100 -foot buffer. Within 2 weeks of the nesting bird survey, all areas surveyed by the biologist must be cleared by the contractor or a supplemental nesting bird survey is required.

An approximate 100 -foot no -disturbance buffer will be established around any active nest of migratory birds, and an approximate 300 -foot no-disturbance buffer will be established around any nesting birds of prey species. The contractor must immediately stop work in the buffer area until the appropriate buffer is established and is prohibited from conducting work within the buffer until the biologist has determined that the nestlings have fledged and are foraging independently. A reduced buffer, or other avo idance strategies, can be established if deemed appropriate by the City and biologist.

BIO-9: If any wildlife (e.g., amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles, etc.) are encountered during the course of construction, said wildlife shall be allowed to leave the construction area unharmed.

Regulatory Setting
CEQA established statutory requirements for establishing the significance of historical resources in PRC Section 21084.1. The CEQA Guidelines (Section 10564.5[c]) also require consideration of potential project impacts to "unique" archaeological sites that do not qualify as historical resources. The statutory requirements for unique archaeological sites that do not qualify as historical resources are established in PRC Section 21083.2. These two PRC sections operate independently to ensure that significant potential effects on historical and archaeological resources are considered as part of a project’s environmental analysis. Historical resources, as defined in Section 15064.5 as defined in the CEQA regulations, include 1) cultural resources listed in or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources; 2) cultural resource included in a local register of historical resources; 3) any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in one of several historic themes important to California history and development.

Under CEQA, a project may have a significant effect on the environment if the project could result in a substantial adverse change in the significance of a resource, meaning the physical demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration of the resource would be materially impaired. This would include any action that would demolish or adversely alter the physical characteristics of an historic resource that conveys its historic significance and qualify it for inclusion in the CRHR or in a local register or survey that meets the requirements of PRC Section 5020.1(l) and 5024.1(g). PRC Section 5024 also requires state agencies to identify and protect sate-owned resources that meet.

National Register of Historic Place listing criteria. Sections 5024(f) and 5024.5 require state agencies to provide notice to and consult with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) before altering, transferring, relocation, or demolishing state-owned historical resources that are listed on or are eligible for inclusion in the National Register or are registered or eligible for registration as California Historical Landmarks.

CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines also recommend provisions be made for the accidental discovery of archaeological sites, historical resources, or Native American human remains during construction (PRC Section 21083.2(i) CCR Section 15064.5[d and f]).

Affected Environment
Efforts to identify potential archaeological resources in the Area of Potential Effects (APE) are detailed in this report and include historical research, a search of the Sacred Lands File (SLF) by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), a search of site records and survey reports on file at the North Central Information Center Item 16
Agenda Packet Page #146

DOKKEN ENGINEERING INITIAL STUDY/PROPOSED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION APRIL 2026 CITRUS HEIGHTS GATEWAY ACTIVATION PROJECT

46 (NCIC), efforts to coordinate with Native American representatives, and a pedestrian survey. Figure 5 is the APE map. A search of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) from the North Central Information Center (NCIC) located at California State University, Sacramento, was conducted on April 8, 2025, which included the entire proposed Project area as well as a half-mile radius.

Results of the record search indicate that four previous studies have been completed within the Project area while an additional 15 studies have been completed previously within a half -mile radius of the Project area.

The record search identified nine cultural resources within a 0.5-mile radius of the APE, including historic built environment resources (two railroads and one ranch), two foundations of destroyed historic structures, one multicomponent historic trash scatter and indigenous habitation, one indigenous lithic scatter, one historic trash scatter, and one indigenous habitation site.

The City conducted consultation with Native American tribes under PRC §21080.3.1 (also referred to as AB 52) via certified letter on April 29, 2025. For the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC), the letter was submitted on April 29, 2025, to the tribe’s website portal. The City notified the following tribes of an opportunity to consult with the City regarding the potential for this Project to impact Native American cultural resources: Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians, Colfax-Todds Valley Consolidated Tribe, Ione Band of Miwok Indians, Nashville Enterprise Miwok-Maidu-Nishinam Tribe, Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Tsi Akim Maidu, United Auburn Indian Community, and Wilton Rancheria. The UAIC responded to the City via email regarding initial AB 52 consultation, including scheduling a field survey attend ed by the UAIC and the City’s consultant archaeologist.

A pedestrian survey of the APE was conducted by archaeologist from Dokken Engineering on June 12, 2025, for the purpose of identifying and recording archaeological resources. A representative from the United Auburn Indian Community participated in the pedestrian survey. No constraints to the survey were encountered as full access was obtained prior to completing the survey. No indigenous resources were identified as a result of the identification efforts (Dokken 2025a).

On August 31, 2025, an architectural historian from Cogstone surveyed the Project area. The architectural historian photographed and documented the two segments of Old Auburn Way and Wachtel Way and the four private residences at 8201 Argo Drive, 8484 Old Auburn Road, 8501 Linda Creek Court, and 8525 Old Auburn Road. All resources were newly documented in a total of six Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) 523 forms, evaluated for historic significance, and labeled on Figure 5 as “Map Reference” (MR#1-6).

The historic in age roads will be directly impacted by the Project and include a 2,916.67 foot segment of Old Auburn Road and a 3,172.57 foot segment of Wachtel Way. The four historic in age residences will be indirectly impacted by the Project and are located on Accessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) that have ROW acquisition.

Due to a lack of historic significance and lack of historic integrity, these resources are recommended not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) at the national, state, or local level. No further work pertaining to these six resources is recommended (Cogstone 2025).
