Staff has reached an agreement with the final property owner for the purchase of Right-of-Way needed for the project.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.

DISCUSSION
The City of Dinuba is almost complete with the engineering design for the roundabout at Alta and Kamm Avenue. The project consists of the construction of a two-lane roundabout which includes a reconstructed pavement structural section, curb and gutter, curb ramps, sidewalk, median islands, landscape and irrigation, enhanced crosswalks, and other miscellaneous street improvements. The roundabout will improve mobility and safety for the future Dinuba High School.

In order to accommodate the improvements necessary to construct the roundabout, the City needs to obtain right-of-way from three (3) affected property owners. Staff retained a right of way consultant to meet with affected property owners to negotiate the purchase of the needed right of way. The consultant has met with all affected property owners and the remaining property owner has agreed to sell.

The purchase price for the right of way was based on an initial appraisal completed by Keith J. Hopper from Hopper Company. Each appraisal was then reviewed by a third-party appraiser (Kern Appraisal Company) before a final purchase price was determined and accepted by both parties.

The information on the property is listed below.

In order for the developer to be able to sell lots in the subdivision, the final map must first be approved by the City Council and the map must be recorded with the County. The developer is also required, as a condition of approval, to enter into a Subdivision Development Agreement with the City. The subdivision agreement details the public infrastructure work to be completed and identifies any credits or future reimbursement owed to the developer.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.

DISCUSSION
On March 28, 2006, the City approved a vesting tentative subdivision map for the Vineyard Estates Subdivision consisting of 63 lots located on the east side of Englehart Avenue between Nebraska Avenue and Saginaw Avenue. The project never developed due to the housing market crash in 2008 followed by the Great Recession in 2009.

The Vineyard Estates Subdivision was purchased by MBN Homes LLC, A California Limited Liability Company, a Fresno-based homebuilder. The subdivision consists of 63 lots on 10 acres and the final map is included as Exhibit 'A' of the attached Resolution No. 2023-12 enclosed herein as Attachment 'A'. Upon review by the City Engineer the final map conforms to the approved vesting tentative tract map and city and state standards.

As a condition of all subdivisions, the developer is required to enter into an subdivision agreement with the City of Dinuba. The subdivision agreement details the work to be completed by the developer, amount of security for improvements, and fees to be paid as part of the subdivision. The work includes roads, sewer, water, gas and storm drain and private utility improvements to serve the subdivision. The agreement also requires the developer to provide bonds and other security instruments in an amount necessary to cover the cost of the improvements. For this project, the estimated cost of improvements total $1,430,756. The City may call on the bonds should the developer fail to complete the improvements in a timely manner.

The developer is required to have all public improvements completed by February 15, 2024. A copy of the subdivision agreement is enclosed herein as Attachment 'B'.

As part of the development, the developer has agreed to install sewer, water, curb, gutter, and sidewalk along the east side of Englehart Avenue. The estimated cost of these additional improvements total $275,628 and will be credited to the developer from sewer, water and transportation development impact fees.

Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023-12 enclosed herein as Attachment 'A' approving the Final map for the Vineyard Estates Subdivision and associated Subdivision Development Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will receive approximately $17,565.57 per unit for all impact fees for each residential unit. These fees will be collected prior to scheduling a final inspection for each dwelling unit. Final map and public improvement plan check and inspection fees will be collected at the time the Final map is recorded with the Tulare County Recorder's Office.

Such notice may be personally served upon Subdivider or, if Subdivider is not an individual, upon any person who has signed this agreement on behalf of Subdivider or, at the election of the City Engineer, such notice may be mailed to Subdivider at his address on file with the City Engineer. If, within twenty-four (24) hours after such personal service of such notice or with forty-eight hours after the mailing thereof as herein provided, Subdivider shall not have commenced to maintain adequate dust control or shall at any time thereafter fail to maintain adequate dust control the City Engineer may, without further notice of any kind, cause any such street or streets to be sprinkled or oiled, as he may deem advisable, to eliminate the scattering of dust, by equipment and personnel of the City or by contract as the City Engineer shall determine. Subdivider shall pay to the City forthwith, upon receipt of billing therefore, the entire cost to the City of such sprinkling.

Public Hearing to Consider Adopting Resolution No. 2023-10 Approving the Final Negative Declaration (SCH 2023010340) for the Alta Avenue (Road 80) and Kamm Avenue (Avenue 408) Roundabout Project (JW)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Dinuba is currently in the process of finalizing the Alta Avenue and Kamm Avenue roundabout construction plans in preparation for construction in summer 2023. Prior to commencing construction, the City is required to address all environmental obligations per State and Federal requirements. As part of the environmental process, the City prepared an environmental review of the project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that the project would not have a significant impact on the environment with mitigation measures in place. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared and is ready for Council adoption.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None

DISCUSSION
The project consists of the construction of a two lane roundabout which includes a reconstructed pavement structural section, curb and gutter, curb ramps, sidewalk, median islands, landscape and irrigation, enhanced crosswalks, and other miscellaneous street improvements. The roundabout will improve mobility as well as safety for the future Dinuba High School.

The roundabout is subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 4Creeks, Inc. prepared the required CEQA review, documentation, and prepared an Initial Study to determine whether the roundabout would or could have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study determined that the project would have no potentially significant effects on the environment with mitigations incorporated. Project specific mitigation measures were included for Biological Resources, Cultural Resources and Geological and Soils categories to avoid potentially significant effects. Therefore, based on the attached environmental assessment and the list of identified mitigation measures, staff has determined the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and that the filing of a mitigated negative declaration is appropriate in accordance with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines sections 15071(e) and 15369.5. A copy of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is enclosed herein as Attachment 'C'.

Under CEQA, the City must conduct a public hearing as part of the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The public hearing was noticed in the Mid Valley Times (Attachment 'B'), circulated to the State Clearinghouse, and other interested local agencies. The required 30-day review period was from January 19, 2023 to February 20, 2023. No comments were received.

Once the public hearing occurs and the MND is adopted by Resolution No. 2023-10 enclosed herein as Attachment 'A', staff will file a Notice of Determination with the Tulare County Clerk’s office, which will be the final step in the CEQA process.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact when adopting a MND.

PUBLIC HEARING
The MND was noticed in the Mid Valley Times and circulated to the State Clearinghouse.

WHEREAS, the City is the lead agency for purposes of environmental review of the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq., and the State “Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act”; and WHEREAS, the Project could, without mitigation, have resulted in a potential impact to certain areas of environmental concern, including Biological and Cultural Resources; and

WHEREAS, the City has prepared mitigation measures to address and mitigate all potential environmental impacts to a “less than significant” level, which is a part of the Environmental Record reviewed and considered by the City; and

WHEREAS, the City has incorporated the mitigation measures described in the initial study for the Project (“Initial Study”) as conditions of approval by the City; and

WHEREAS, with the exception of the potential impacts stated above, there are no other potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from the Project; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Dinuba herby takes the following actions:

1. The City Council finds that the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration reflect the independent judgment of the City as the lead agency for the Project.

2. The City Council finds that it has independently reviewed and considered the Environmental Record, including the Initial Study and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration, as a final Mitigated Negative Declaration, prior to adopting the final Mitigated Negative Declaration.

3. On the basis of the Environmental Record as the whole record before the City Council, including the Initial Study and any comments received, the City Council finds, in its independent judgment and analysis, that there is no substantial evidence the Project will have a significant effect on the environment.

4. The City Council confirms that the mitigation measures described in the Initial Study, have been incorporated into the Project and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration, as the final Mitigated Negative Declaration, which documents are a part of the Environmental Record before the City Council for the Project.

SECTION 1
CEQA Review Process
Project Title: Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout

1.1 California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines
Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires that the Lead Agency prepare an Initial Study to determine whether a discretionary project will have a significant effect on the environment. All phases of the project planning, implementation, and operation must be considered in the Initial Study. The purposes of an Initial Study, as listed under Section 15063(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, include:
(1) Provide the lead agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or negative declaration;
(2) Enable an applicant or lead agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby enabling the project to qualify for a negative declaration; (3) Assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, by:
(a) Focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant, (b) Identifying the effects determined not to be significant, (c) Explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant, and
(d) Identifying whether a program EIR, tiering, or another appropriate process can be used for analysis of the project's environmental effects.
(4) Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project; (5) Provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a negative declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment
(6) Eliminate unnecessary EIRs;
(7) Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project.

1.2 Initial Study
The Initial Study provided herein covers the potential environmental effects of the proposed conversion of a four-way signalized intersection into a two-lane roundabout. The proposed project site is located within the City of Dinuba. The City of Dinuba will act as the Lead Agency for this project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines. 1-2
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023

1.3 Environmental Checklist
The Lead Agency may use the CEQA Environmental Checklist Form [CEQA Guidelines, Section 15063(d)(3) and (f)] in preparation of an Initial Study to provide information for determination if there are significant effects of the project on the environment. A copy of the completed Environmental Checklist is set forth in Section Three.

1.4 Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration
The Lead Agency shall provide a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15072) to the public, responsible agencies, trustee agencies and the County Clerk within which the project is located, sufficiently prior to adoption by the Lead Agency of the Negative Declaration to allow the public and agencies the review period. The public review period (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15105) shall not be less than 30 days when the Initial Study/Negative Declaration is submitted to the State Clearinghouse unless a shorter period, not less than 20 days, is approved by the State Clearinghouse.

Prior to approving the project, the Lead Agency shall consider the proposed Negative Declaration together with any comments received during the public review process, and shall adopt the proposed Negative Declaration only if it finds on the basis of the whole record before it, that there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the Lead Agency’s independent judgment and analysis.

The written and oral comments received during the public review period will be considered by The City of Dinuba prior to adopting the Negative Declaration. Regardless of the type of CEQA document that must be prepared, the overall purpose of the CEQA process is to:
1) Assure that the environment and public health and safety are protected in the face of discretionary projects initiated by public agencies or private concerns; 2) Provide for full disclosure of the project’s environmental effects to the public, the agency decisionmakers who will approve or deny the project, and the responsible trustee agencies charged with managing resources (e.g. wildlife, air quality) that may be affected by the project; and 3) Provide a forum for public participation in the decision-making process pertaining to potential environmental effects.

According to Section 15070(a) a public agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed negative declaration for a project subject to CEQA when:

The initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.

Less than significant impacts with mitigation measures have been identified.

The Environmental Checklist Discussion contained in Section Three of this document has determined that the environmental impacts of the project are less than significant with mitigation measures and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate for adoption by the Lead Agency. 1-3
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023

1.5 Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration The Lead Agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQA Guidelines Section 15070) for a project subject to CEQA when the Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration circulated for public review shall include the following:
(a) A brief description of the project, including a commonly used name for the project. (b) The location of the project, preferably shown on a map. (c) A proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. (d) An attached copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the finding. (e) Mitigation measures, if any.

1.6 Intended Uses of Initial Study/Negative Declaration documents The Initial Study/Negative Declaration document is an informational document that is intended to inform decision-makers, other responsible or interested agencies, and the general public of potential environmental effects of the proposed project. The environmental review process has been established to enable the public agencies to evaluate environmental consequences and to examine and implement methods of eliminating or reducing any adverse impacts. While CEQA requires that consideration be given to avoiding environmental damage, the Lead Agency must balance any potential environmental effects against other public objectives, including economic and social goals. The City of Dinuba, as Lead Agency, will make a determination, based on the environmental review for the Environmental Study, Initial Study and comments from the general public, if there are less than significant impacts from the proposed project and the requirements of CEQA can be met by adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration.

1.7 Notice of Determination (NOD)
The Lead Agency shall file a Notice of Determination within five working days after deciding to approve the project. The Notice of Determination (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15075) shall include the following:
(1) An identification of the project including the project title as identified on the proposed negative declaration, its location, and the State Clearinghouse identification number for the proposed negative declaration if the notice of determination is filed with the State Clearinghouse. (2) A brief description of the project.
(3) The agency's name and the date on which the agency approved the project. (4) The determination of the agency that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment. (5) A statement that a negative declaration or a mitigated negative declaration was adopted pursuant to the provisions of CEQA.
(6) A statement indicating whether mitigation measures were made a condition of the approval of the project, and whether a mitigation monitoring plan/program was adopted. (7) The address where a copy of the negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration may be examined.
(8) The identity of the person undertaking a project which is supported, in whole or in part, through contracts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies or the identity of the person receiving a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use from one or more public agencies.

3.3 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately support by the information sources a lead agency cites, in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the reference information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.

3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR if required.

4. “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from “Earlier Analyses,” as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequate analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c) (3)(D).

In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following. a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated.” Describe and mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

   
Environmental Setting
There are no aesthetic resources identified in the City of Dinuba General Plan; however, the views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are considered to be an important scenic vista in Tulare County.

Sierra Nevada Mountains: The Sierra Nevada mountain range and its foothills stretch along the east area of the county and are a valuable aesthetic resource. Additionally, Sequoia National Park is located within the stretch of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located in Tulare County. Sequoia National Forest is a U.S.

National Forest known for its mountain scenery and natural resources. Located directly north of Sequoia National Park is Kings Canyon National Park, a U.S. National Park also known for its towering sequoia trees and scenic vistas. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are approximately 15 miles east of the proposed project site but views of the mountains are not visible on most days due to poor air quality.

The following photos demonstrate the aesthetic character of the project area. As shown, the proposed project site is located in a relatively flat area with primarily agricultural uses. 3-10

Source: Google Earth, 12/20/2022 Source: Google Earth, 12/20/2022 Regulatory Setting
State Scenic Highways: The State Scenic Highway Program is implemented by Caltrans and was developed to preserve the aesthetic quality of certain highway corridors. Highways included in this program are designated as scenic highways. A highway is designated as scenic based on how much of the natural landscape is visible to travelers, the quality of that landscape, and the extent to which development obstructs views of the landscape. There are no designated eligible or officially designated state scenic highways within the City of Dinbua.

Discussion
a) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact: A scenic vista is defined as a viewpoint that provides expansive views of highly valued landscape for the benefit of the general public. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are the primary scenic vista within this region. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are approximately 15 miles east of the proposed project site, however views of the mountains are not visible on most days due to poor air quality. The proposed project would not result in any vertical construction that could effect views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains or any other scenic vista. There is no impact. 3-11
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 b) Would the project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within state scenic highway? No Impact: There are no designated Eligible or Officially Designated State Scenic Highways within the City of Dinuba. Highway 180 is the nearest State Scenic Highway and is located approximately 13 miles north of the project site. Significant urban development between the project site and Highway 180 completely eliminates visibility of the project site from the highway. There is no impact.

c) In non-urbanized areas, would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from a 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? No Impact: The proposed project site is located in an area characterized by agricultural activity, however the project would not negatively impact the existing visual character. Proposed improvements include a landscaped center island, stamped concrete splitter islands, decrative monument signage, new street lighting, landscaping, etc. All proposed improvements will be done in accordance with City development standards and will not affect the surrounding visual character.

There is no impact.
d) Would the project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project would result in new street lighting consistent with the City’s development standards, which are developed to minimize impacts related to excessive light and glare. The impacts are less than significant.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Environmental Setting
Agriculture is a vital component of the City of Dinuba’s economy and is a significant source of the City’s cultural identity. As such, preserving the productivity of agricultural lands is integral to maintaining the City’s culture and economic viability.

According to the California Department of Conservation, the lands adjacent to the project include “prime farmland” and “farmland of local importance”. The project will require ROW acquisition of approximately

0.64 acres of prime farmland and 0.10 acres of farmland of local importance.

Regulatory Setting
California Land Conservation Act of 1965: The California Land Conservation Act of 1965, commonly referred to as the Williamson Act, allows local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners to restrict the activities on specific parcels of land to agricultural or open space uses. The landowners benefit from the contract by receiving greatly reduced property tax assessments. The California Land Conservation Act is overseen by the California Department of Conservation; however local governments are responsible for determining specific allowed uses and enforcing the contract.

California Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP): The FMMP is implemented by the California Department of Conservation (DOC) to conserve and protect agricultural lands within the State.

Land is included in this program based on soil type, annual crop yields, and other factors that influence the quality of farmland. The FMMP mapping categories for the most important statewide farmland are as follows:
• Prime Farmland has the ideal physical and chemical composition for crop production. It has been used for irrigated production in the four years prior to classification and is capable of producing sustained yields.
• Farmland of Statewide Importance has also been used for irrigated production in the four years prior to classification and is only slightly poorer quality than Prime Farmland. • Unique Farmland has been cropped in the four years prior to classification and does not meet the criteria for Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance but has produced specific crops with high economic value.
• Farmland of Local Importance encompasses farmland that does not meet the criteria for the previous three categories. These may lack irrigation, produce major crops, be zoned as agricultural, and/or support dairy.
• Grazing Land has vegetation that is suitable for grazing livestock. 3-14

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Discussion
a) Would the project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed site is includes lands classified as Prime Farmland and Farmland of Local Importance by the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. However, the Project only proposes conversion of an existing intersection into a roundabout and does not propose development of adjacent agricultural properties. The Project would not result in the significant loss of agricultural lands and the impact is less than significant. b) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract? No Impact: The proposed project site is within the public ROW and is therefore not zoned for agricultural use or under a Williamson Act Contract. There is no impact. c) Would the project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g)?
No Impact: The project site located within the public ROW and is therefore not zoned for forest or timberland production. There is no impact.
d) Would the project result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact: The proposed project site is located within the public ROW and would not convert forestland to non-forest use. There is no impact.
e) Would the project involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forestland to non-forest use?
No Impact: As discussed above, the proposed project site is located within the public ROW. The project would not result in the loss of Farmland to non-agricultural use or forestland to non-forest use. There is no impact.

Environmental Setting
Air pollution is directly related to regional topography. Topographic features can either stimulate the movement of air or restrict air movement. California is divided into regional air basins based on topographic air drainage features. The proposed project site is within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, which is bordered by the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, Coastal Ranges to the west, and the Tehachapi Mountains to the south. The mountain ranges surrounding the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) serve to restrict air movement and prevent the dispersal of pollution. As shown in the Table 3-1, the SJVAB is in nonattainment for several pollutant standards.

B. The Valley is designated nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA designated the Valley as nonattainment for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS on November 13, 2009 (effective December 14, 2009).

C. Though the Valley was initially classified as serious nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, EPA approved Valley reclassification to extreme nonattainment in the Federal Register on May 5, 2010 (effective June 4, 2010).

D. Effective June 15, 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoked the federal 1-hour ozone standard, including associated designations and classifications. EPA had previously classified the SJVAB as extreme nonattainment for this standard. EPA approved the 2004 Extreme Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan on March 8, 2010 (effective April 7, 2010). Many applicable requirements for extreme 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas continue to apply to the SJVAB.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Regulatory Setting
Federal Clean Air Act – The 1977 Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) authorized the establishment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and set deadlines for their attainment. The Clean Air Act identifies specific emission reduction goals, requires both a demonstration of reasonable further progress and an attainment demonstration, and incorporates more stringent sanctions for failure to meet interim milestones. The U.S. EPA is the federal agency charged with administering the Act and other air qualityrelated legislation. EPA’s principal functions include setting NAAQS; establishing minimum national emission limits for major sources of pollution; and promulgating regulations. Under CAA, the NCCAB is identified as an attainment area for all pollutants.

California Clean Air Act – California Air Resources Board coordinates and oversees both state and federal air pollution control programs in California. As part of this responsibility, California Air Resources Board monitors existing air quality, establishes California Ambient Air Quality Standards, and limits allowable emissions from vehicular sources. Regulatory authority within established air basins is provided by air pollution control and management districts, which control stationary-source and most categories of areasource emissions and develop regional air quality plans. The project is located within the jurisdiction of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.

The state and federal standards for the criteria pollutants are presented in Section 8.4 of The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District’s 2015 “Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts”. These standards are designed to protect public health and welfare. The “primary” standards have been established to protect the public health. The “secondary” standards are intended to protect the nation’s welfare and account for air pollutant effects on soils, water, visibility, materials, vegetation and other aspects of general welfare. The U.S. EPA revoked the national 1-hour ozone standard on June 15, 2005, and the annual PM10 standard on September 21, 2006, when a new PM2.5 24-hour standard was established.

y 1. California standards for ozone, carbon monoxide (except 8-hour Lake Tahoe), sulfur dioxide (1 and 24 hour), nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, and visibility reducing particles), are values that are not to be exceeded. All others are not to be equaled or exceeded. California ambient air quality standards are listed in the Table of Standards in Section 70200 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations.

2. National standards (other than ozone, particulate matter, and those based on annual arithmetic mean) are not to be exceeded more than once a year. The ozone standard is attained when the fourth highest 8-hour concentration measured at each site in a year, averaged over three years, is equal to or less than the standard. For PM10, the 24 hour standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with a 24-hour average concentration above 150 μg/m3 is equal to or less than one. For PM2.5, the 24 hour standard is attained when 98 percent of the daily concentrations, averaged over three years, are equal to or less than the standard. Contact the U.S. EPA for further clarification and current national policies.

3. Concentration expressed first in units in which it was promulgated. Equivalent units given in parentheses are based upon a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 torr. Most measurements of air quality are to be corrected to a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 torr; ppm in this table refers to ppm by volume, or micromoles of pollutant per mole of gas.

4. Any equivalent measurement method which can be shown to the satisfaction of the ARB to give equivalent results at or near the level of the air quality standard may be used.

5. National Primary Standards: The levels of air quality necessary, with an adequate margin of safety to protect the public health.

6. National Secondary Standards: The levels of air quality necessary to protect the public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant.

7. Reference method as described by the U.S. EPA. An “equivalent method” of measurement may be used but must have a “consistent relationship to the reference method” and must be approved by the U.S. EPA.

8. To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 98th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 100 ppb. Note that the national standards are in units of parts per billion (ppb). California standards are in units of parts per million (ppm). To directly compare the national standards to the California standards the units can be converted from ppb to ppm. In this case, the national standards of 53 ppb and 100 ppb are identical to 0.053 ppm and 0.100 ppm, respectively.

9. On June 2, 2010, a new 1-hour SO2 standard was established and the existing 24-hour and annual primary standards were revoked. To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 75 ppb. The 1971 SO2 national standards (24-hour and annual) remain in effect until one year after an area is designated for the 2010 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1971 standards, the 1971 standards remain in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2010 standards are approved. Note that the 1-hour national standard is in units of parts per billion (ppb). California standards are in units of parts per million (ppm). To directly compare the 1-hour national standard to the California standard the units can be converted to ppm. In this case, the national standard of 75 ppb is identical to 0.075 ppm.

10. The ARB has identified lead and vinyl chloride as ‘toxic air contaminants’ with no threshold level of exposure for adverse health effects determined. These actions allow for the implementation of control measures at levels below the ambient concentrations specified for these pollutants.

11. The national standard for lead was revised on October 15, 2008 to a rolling 3-month average. The 1978 lead standard (1.5 μg/m3 as a quarterly average) remains in effect until one year after an area is designated for the 2008 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1978 standard, the 1978 standard remains in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2008 standard are approved.

12. In 1989, the ARB converted both the general statewide 10-mile visibility standard and the Lake Tahoe 30-mile visibility standard to instrumental equivalents, which are “extinction of

0.23 per kilometer” and “extinction of 0.07 per kilometer” for the statewide and Lake Tahoe Air Basin standards, respectively.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) – The SJVAPCD is responsible for enforcing air quality standards in the project area. To meet state and federal air quality objectives, the SJVAPCD adopted the following thresholds of significance for projects (Table 3-3). Additionally, the following SJVAPCD rules and regulations may apply to the proposed project:
• Rule 3135: Dust Control Plan Fee. All projects which include construction, demolition, excavation, extraction, and/or other earth moving activities as defined by Regulation VIII (Described below) are required to submit a Dust Control Plan and required fees to mitigate impacts related to dust. • Rule 4101: Visible Emissions. District Rule 4101 prohibits visible emissions of air contaminants that are dark in color and/or have the potential to obstruct visibility. • Rule 9510: Indirect Source Review (ISR). This rule reduces the impact PM10 and NOX emissions from growth on the SJVB. This rule places application and emission reduction requirements on applicable development projects in order to reduce emissions through onsite mitigation, offsite SJVAPCD administered projects, or a combination of the two. • Regulation VIII: Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions. Regulation VIII is composed of eight rules which together aim to limit PM10 emissions by reducing fugitive dust. These rules contain required management practices to limit PM10 emissions during construction, demolition, excavation, extraction, and/or other earth moving activities.

a) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact: The proposed project is located within the boundaries of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and would result in air pollutant emissions that are regulated by the air district during both its construction and operational phases. The SJVAPCD is responsible for bringing air quality in Tulare County into compliance with federal and state air quality standards. The air district has Particulate Matter (PM) plans, Ozone Plans, and Carbon Monoxide Plans that serve as the clean air plan for the basin. Together, these plans quantify the required emission reductions to meet federal and state air quality standards and provide strategies to meet these standards.

Construction Phase. Project construction would generate pollutant emissions from the following construction activities: grubbing/land clearing, grading/excavation, drainage/utilities/sub-grade, and paving. The construction related emissions from these activities were calculated using Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0. The full Emissions Model results are available in 3-20
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout

Table 3-4. Projected Project Emissions Compared to SJVAPCD Thresholds of Significance for Criteria Pollutants related to Construction; Source: SJVAPCD, Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0 (Appendix B) Operational Phase. The proposed project is being implemented as part of the FHWA’s CMAQ program, which funds air quality improvement projects. As such, the project is expected to result in significant emissions reductions. The project itself would not generate any additional vehicle trips and there will be no stationary source emissions resulting from the Project.

Because the emissions from Project construction would not exceed the thresholds of significance established by the SJVAPCD, and the Project would not result in operational emissions, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of an applicable air quality plan and there is no impact.
b) Would the project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
Less Than Significant Impact: The SJVAPCD accounts for cumulative impacts to air quality in Section

1.8 “Thresholds of Significance – Cumulative Impacts” in its 2015 Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts. The SJVAPCD considered basin-wide cumulative impacts to air quality when developing its significance thresholds. Because Project emissions are below the significance thresholds adopted by the air district, and compliance with SJVAPCD rules will address any cumulative impacts regarding operational emissions, impacts regarding cumulative emissions would be less than significant.
c) Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant Impact: The single-family residence located at 1593 S Alta Ave is the closest sensitive receptor. The Project would not exceed emissions thresholds established by the SJVAPCD and would not result in increased operational emissions beyond existing conditions. The project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The impact would be less than significant.
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Less Than Significant Impact: The project will create temporary localized odors during project construction. These odors are not likely to be noticeable for extended periods of time beyond the 3-21
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 perimeter of the Project site. Once constructed, the project will not create any new sources of odor that result directly from the project. The project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people and the impacts would be less than significant.

Regulatory Setting
Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA): defines an endangered species as “any species or subspecies that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” A threatened species is defined as “any species or subspecies that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (FMBTA: 16 USC 703-712): FMBTA prohibits killing, possessing, or trading in any bird species covered in one of four international conventions to which the United States is a party, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. The name of the act is misleading, as it actually covers almost all birds native to the United States, even those that are non-migratory. The FMBTA encompasses whole birds, parts of birds, and bird nests and eggs. 3-23
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Although the USFWS and its parent administration, the U.S. Department of the Interior, have traditionally interpreted the FMBTA as prohibiting incidental as well as intentional “take” of birds, a January 2018 legal opinion issued by the Department of the Interior now states that incidental take of migratory birds while engaging in otherwise lawful activities is permissible under the FMBTA. However, California Fish and Game Code makes it unlawful to take or possess any non-game bird covered by the FMBTA (Section 3513), as well as any other native non-game bird (Section 3800), even if incidental to lawful activities.

Birds of Prey (CA Fish and Game Code Section 3503.5):Birds of prey are protected in California under provisions of the Fish and Game Code (Section 3503.5), which states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the order Falconiformes (hawks and eagles) or Strigiformes (owls), as well as their nests and eggs. The bald eagle and golden eagle are afforded additional protection under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 USC 668), which makes it unlawful to kill birds or their eggs.

Clean Water Act: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of (1972) is to maintain, restore, and enhance the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulates discharges of dredged and fill materials into “waters of the United States” (jurisdictional waters). Waters of the US including navigable waters of the United States, interstate waters, tidally influenced waters, and all other waters where the use, degradation, or destruction of the waters could affect interstate or foreign commerce, tributaries to any of these waters, and wetlands that meet any of these criteria or that are adjacent to any of these waters or their tributaries.

California Endangered Species Act (CESA): prohibits the take of any state-listed threatened and endangered species. CESA defines take as “any action or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill any listed species.” If the proposed project results in a take of a listed species, a permit pursuant to Section 2080 of CESA is required from the CDFG.

Discussion
a) Would the project 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 & Game or U.S. fish and Wildlife Service?
No Impact: Based upon a preliminary screening using "IPaC: Explore Location" (see Appendix C); there are three endangered and four threatened species known to be present in Tulare County. From these known species there are no critical habitats within the project limits. Most of the construction will be within or immediately adjacent to, the existing right of way. Work to be performed outside the existing right of way are areas which have already been disturbed. There is no impact. b) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact: The project will occur within or immediately adjacent to heavily disturbed public right-ofway Development of the proposed project would not impact any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), or United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). There is 3-24

c) Would the project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through director removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
No Impact: Based on the findings of the Water Quality Technical Memorandum (Appendix D) there are no wetlands within or immediately adjacent to the project area. Therefore, no impacts to state or federally protected wetlands would occur due to the proposed project. There is no impact. d) 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?
No Impact: The project involves conversion of an existing 4-way intersection into a roundabout. The project is not expected to have any impact on the ease of movement of resident or migratory wildlife species. There is no impact.
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact: The project will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. There is no impact. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact: The proposed project is not located within the boundaries of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Communities Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan. There is no impact.

Environmental Setting
An Archaeological Survey Report and Historic Property Survey Report were prepared by Applied Earthworks in January 2023. The full report can be found in Appendix E.

Applied EarthWorks, Inc. conducted an archaeological survey of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) to determine if cultural resources are present and whether they have the potential to be affected by the proposed work. Applied EarthWorks’ investigation included a records search to identify previously recorded resources and prior studies within 0.5 miles of the APE, a review of the Native American Heritage Commission’s Sacred Lands File and initiation of Native American outreach, a review of pertinent topographic maps, aerial photographs, and General Land Office Plat Maps, and a pedestrian survey of the APE.

The records search identified one cultural resource, Dinuba Town Ditch (P-54-004899), and four prior studies (TU-00591, TU-00604, TU-01069, and TU-01149) within the Direct APE. Applied Earthworks conducted consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer, who determined that the Dinuba Town Ditch is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Appendix E).

The Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File search and Native American contacts did not identify any sacred areas or provide information pertaining to Native American resources.

Applied EarthWorks’ pedestrian survey on November 14, 2022, did not identify any prehistoric archaeological resources within the Direct APE.

Regulatory Setting
National Historic Preservation Act: The National Historic Preservation Act was adopted in 1966 to preserve historic and archeological sites in the United States. The Act created the National Register of Historic Places, the list of National Historic Landmarks, and the State Historic Preservation offices.

California Historic Register: The California Historic Register was developed as a program to identify, evaluate, register, and protect Historical Resources in California. California Historical Landmarks are sites, buildings, features, or events that are of statewide significance and have anthropological, cultural, 3-26
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 military, political, architectural, economic, scientific, religious, experimental, or other value. In order for a resource to be designated as a historical landmark, it must meet the following criteria:
• The first, last, only, or most significant of its type in the state or within a large geographic region (Northern, Central, or Southern California).
• Associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of California. • A prototype of, or an outstanding example of, a period, style, architectural movement or construction or is one of the more notable works or the best surviving work in a region of a pioneer architect, designer or master builder.

Discussion
a) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to in Section 15064.5?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: An Archaeological Survey Report and Historic Property Survey Report were conducted in January 2023 for the proposed project. The Reports included Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center records search, a Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File search, Native American outreach, archival research, and pedestrian survey. This investigation identified one historic resource, the Dinuba Town Ditch (P-54-004899) within the project APE. Applied Earthworks conducted consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer, who determined that the Dinuba Town Ditch is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Appendix E) due to a lack of historical significance. The full Archaeological Survey Report and Historic Property Survey Report are available in Appendix E.

Based on the results of this Archaeological Survey Report and Historic Property Survey Report, no prehistoric or historic archaeological materials are located within the project site. The presence of remains or unanticipated cultural resources under the ground surface is possible. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that impacts to this checklist item will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
b) Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: There are no known archaeological resources located within the project area. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that potential impact will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation. c) Would the project disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: There are no known human remains buried in the project vicinity. If human remains are unearthed during development, there is a potential for a significant impact. As such, implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2 will ensure that impacts remain less than significant with mitigation incorporation. 3-27
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Mitigation Measures for Impacts to Cultural Resources:

Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If cultural resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work in the immediate area must halt and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology (NPS 1983) should be contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA, additional work such as data recovery excavation and Native American consultation may be warranted to mitigate any adverse effects.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2: The discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground disturbing activities. If human remains are found, the State of California 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. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the County Coroner must be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials.

a) Would the project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed Project involves converting an existing 4-way intersection into a roundabout. During construction, energy use would be primarily attributed the electricity and fuel energy consumed by construction vehicles and equipment. Energy use associated with project construction was estimated using the Road Construction Emissions Model Version 9.0 (Appendix B) and EMFAC data. Energy use calculations are provided in Appendix F and summarized in Table 3-6, below.

Total Construction Energy Use 5,985
Average Annual Construction Energy Use 5,985
Table 3-6. Construction Related Energy Use. Source: Road Construction Emissions Model & EMFAC (See Appendix F)
Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards would provide guidance on construction techniques to maximize energy conservation. As such, it is anticipated that construction vehicle fuel energy would not involve the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy.

During project operations, energy consumption would be minimal. Street lighting is proposed throughout the project area, which would result in some energy use. However, the City of Dinuba Engineering Standards require new streetlights to utilize energy efficient LED luminaires. Additionally, the roundabout would replace the existing traffic signals, so the actual difference in energy demand would be negligible. Therefore, it is not anticipated that project operations would result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy.

Because the proposed project will comply with all energy efficiency standards required under Title 24 of the California Building Code and City of Dinuba Engineering Standards, it is presumed that the project will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy. The impact is less than significant.

Environmental Setting
Geologic Stability and Seismic Activity
• Seismicity: Tulare County is considered to be a low to moderate earthquake hazard area. The San Andreas Fault is the longest and most significant fault zone in California and is approximately 40 miles west of the Tulare County Boundary. Owens Valley fault zone is the only active fault located within Tulare County. Section 5 of the 2017 Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the project site as likely to experience low to moderate shaking from earthquakes, and may experience higher levels if an earthquake were to occur in or near the County. Ground shaking can result in other geological impacts, including liquefaction, landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, or collapse.
3-32
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 • Liquefaction: Liquefaction is a phenomenon whereby unconsolidated and/or near-saturated soils lose cohesion and are converted to a fluid state as a result of severe vibratory motion. The relatively rapid loss of soil shear strength during strong earthquake shaking results in temporary, fluid-like behavior of the soil, which can result in landslides and lateral spreading. No specific countywide assessment of liquefaction has been performed; however the 2017 Tulare MultiJurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of liquefaction within the county as low because the soil types in the area either too coarse or too high in clay content to be suitable for liquefaction.
• Landslides: Landslides refer to a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of soil, rock, and vegetation under gravitational influence. Landslides can be caused by both natural and human-induced changes in slope stability and often accompany other natural hazard events, such as floods, wildfire, or earthquake. Eastern portions of the County are considered to be at a higher risk of landslides where steep slopes are present. However, the majority of the County, including the proposed project site, is considered to be at low risk of landslides and mudslides because of its flat topography. The 2017 Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan states that occurrence of landslide events within populated areas of Tulare County is unlikely.
• Subsidence: Land Subsidence refers to the vertical sinking of land as a result of either manmade or natural underground voids. Subsidence has occurred throughout the Central Valley at differing rates since the 1920’s as a result of groundwater, oil, and gas withdrawal. During drought years, Tulare County is prone to accelerated subsidence, with some areas sinking up to 28 feet. Although western portions of the County show signs of deep and shallow subsidence, the majority of the County, including the proposed project site, is not considered to be at risk of subsidence related hazards.

Soils Involved in Project: The proposed project involves construction on one soil type. The properties of this soil is described below:
• Flamen Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes: The Flamen series consists of deep to a duripan, moderately well drained soils that formed in alluvium derived mainly from granitic rocks. These soils are moderately well drained and exhibit low or moderate runoff. Permeability is moderate above the duripan and slow in the duripan.

Regulatory Setting
California Building Code: The California Building Code contains general building design and construction requirements relating to fire and life safety, structural safety, and access compliance. CBC provisions provide minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location and maintenance of all buildings and structures and certain equipment. 3-33

a) Would the project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.

Less than Significant Impact: According to the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, no active faults underlay the project site. Although the project is located in an area of relatively low seismic activity, the project could be affected by ground shaking from nearby faults.

The potential for strong seismic ground shaking on the project site is not a significant environmental concern due to the infrequent seismic activity of the area and distance to the faults. The project has no potential to indirectly or directly cause the rupture of an earthquake fault. Therefore, the risk of loss, injury or death involving a rupture of a known earthquake fault would be less than significant.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
No Impact: According to the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the project site is located in an area of relatively low seismic activity. The proposed project does not include any activities or components which could feasibly cause strong seismic ground shaking, either directly or indirectly. There is no impact.

iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact: No specific countywide assessment of liquefaction has been performed; however the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of liquefaction within the county as low because the soil types are unsuitable for liquefaction. There is no impact. iv. Landslides?
No Impact: The proposed project site is generally flat and there are no hill slopes in the area. As a result, there is almost no potential for landslides. No geologic landforms exist on or near the site that would result in a landslide event. There is no impact. b) Would the project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact: Because the project site is relatively flat, the potential for erosion is low. However, construction-related activities and increased impermeable surfaces can increase the probability for erosion to occur. Construction-related impacts related to erosion will be temporary and subject to best management practices (BMPs) required by SWPPP, which are developed to prevent significant impacts related to erosion from construction. The project would extend stormwater collection lines through the intersection and stormwater from the roundabout would be collected and conveyed through the City’s stormwater management system. Because impacts related to erosion would be temporary and limited to construction, and because required best management 3-35
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 practices would prevent significant impacts related to erosion, the impact will remain less than significant.
c) Would the project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
No Impact: The soils associated with the project site are considered stable and have a low capacity for landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse. Because the project area is considered to be stable, and this project would not result in a substantial grade change to the topography to the point that it would increase the risk of landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse, there is no impact.
d) Would the project be located on expansive soils, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? No Impact: Expansive soils contain large amounts of clay, which absorb water and cause the soil to increase in volume. Conversely, the soils associated with the proposed project site have relatively low levels of clay Because the soils associated with the project are not suitable for expansion, implementation of the project will pose no direct or indirect risk to life or property caused by expansive soils and there is no impact.
e) Would the project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water?
No Impact: No wastewater will be generated as a part of the proposed project. There is no impact. f) Would the project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
Less Than Significant Impact: There are no unique geologic features and no known paleontological resources located within the project area and no excavation is proposed in undisturbed soils, particularly to a depth with a potential to unearth paleontological resources. Potential impacts resulting from project implementation would be less than significant.

   
Environmental Setting
Natural processes and human activities emit greenhouse gases. The presence of GHGs in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature. Without the natural heat-trapping effect of GHGs, the earth’s surface would be about 34ºC cooler. However, it is believed that emissions from human activities, such as electricity production and vehicle use, have elevated the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere beyond the level of naturally occurring concentrations.

The effect of greenhouse gasses on earth’s temperature is equivalent to the way a greenhouse retains heat. Common GHGs include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, hydro chlorofluorocarbons, and hydro fluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons, sulfur and hexafluoride. Some gases are more effective than others. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) has been calculated for each greenhouse gas to reflect how long it remains in the atmosphere, on average, and how strongly it absorbs energy. Gases with a higher GWP absorb more energy, per pound, than gases with a lower GWP, and thus contribute more to global warming. For example, one pound of methane is equivalent to twenty-one pounds of carbon dioxide.

GHGs as defined by AB 32 include the following gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. GHGs as defined by AB 32 are summarized in Table 3-7. Each gas's effect on climate change depends on three main factors. The first being the quantity of these gases are in the atmosphere, followed by how long they stay in the atmosphere and finally how strongly they impact global temperatures.

Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 In regards to the quantity of these gases are in the atmosphere, we first must establish the amount of particular gas in the air, known as Concentration, or abundance, which are measured in parts per million, parts per billion and even parts per trillion. To put these measurements in more relatable terms, one part per million is equivalent to one drop of water diluted into about 13 gallons of water, roughly a full tank of gas in a compact car. Therefore, it can be assumed larger emission of greenhouse gases lead to a higher concentration in the atmosphere.

Each of the designated gases described above can reside in the atmosphere for different amounts of time, ranging from a few years to thousands of years. All of these gases remain in the atmosphere long enough to become well mixed, meaning that the amount that is measured in the atmosphere is roughly the same all over the world regardless of the source of the emission.

Regulatory Setting
AB 32: AB 32 set the 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal into law. It directed the California Air Resources Board to begin developing discrete early actions to reduce greenhouse gases while also preparing a scoping plan to identify how best to reach the 2020 limit. The reduction measures to meet the 2020 target are to be adopted by the start of 2011.

SB 1078, SB 107 and Executive Order S-14-08: SB 1078, SB 107, and Executive Order S-14-08 require California to generate 20% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2017. SB 107 then changes the 2017 deadline to 2010. Executive Order S-14-08 required that all retail sellers of electricity serve 33 percent of their load with renewable energy by 2020.

Discussion
a) Would the project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.

Less Than Significant Impact: Greenhouse gas emissions for the construction of the proposed project were modeled using the Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0. The Emissions Model results can be found in Appendix B.

Construction: Greenhouse gasses would be generated during construction from activities including grubbing/land clearing, grading/excavation, drainage/utilities/sub-grade, and paving. The Road Construction Emissions Model report predicts that this project will create a maximum of 362.96 MT of CO2e emissions during construction. Because the SJVAPCD does not have numeric thresholds for assessing the significance of construction-related GHG emissions, predicted emissions from project construction were compared to Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) thresholds for construction related GHG emissions. The CEQ currently has a presumptive threshold of 10,000 metric tons of CO2e per year for construction emissions amortized over a 30-year project lifetime. Because project construction would generate far less GHG emissions than this threshold, impacts related to GHG emissions during project construction would be less than significant.

Operation: As discussed in the Air Quality section of this Initial Study, the proposed project is being implemented as part of the FHWA’s CMAQ program, which funds air quality improvement projects.

As such, the project is expected to result in significant emissions reductions. The project itself would 3-39
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 not generate any additional vehicle trips and there will be no stationary source emissions resulting from the Project.

Because construction of the project will result in less than significant increases in GHG emissions, and operation of the project would reduce GHG emissions at the subject intersection, the impact is considered to be less than significant.
b) Would the project conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
No Impact: The proposed project will comply with all Federal, State, and Local rules pertaining to the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the project will implement Best Performance Standards developed by the SJVAPCD. Projects implementing Best Performance Standards are determined to have a less than significant impact on global climate change. The project will not conflict with any plan, policy, or regulation developed to reduce GHG emissions. There is no impact.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S. Code [U.S.C.] §9601 et seq.). The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or the Superfund Act) authorizes the President to respond to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances into the environment.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces Occupational Safety and Health Standards to assure safe working conditions.

OSHA provides training, outreach, education, and compliance assistance to promote safe workplaces. The proposed Project would be subject to OSHA requirements during construction, operation, and maintenance.

Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. §2601 et seq.). The Toxic Substance Control Act was enacted by Congress in 1976 and authorizes the EPA to regulate any chemical substances determined to cause an unreasonable risk to public health or the environment.

Hazardous Waste Control Law, Title 26. The Hazardous Waste Control Law creates hazardous waste management program requirements. The law is implemented by regulations contained in Title 26 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), which contains requirements for the following aspects of hazardous waste management:
• Identification and classification;
• Generation and transportation;
• Design and permitting of recycling, treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; • Treatment standards;
• Operation of facilities and staff training; and
• Closure of facilities and liability requirements.

California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Chapter 11. Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations contains regulations for the identification and classification of hazardous wastes. The CCR defines a waste as hazardous if it has any of the following characteristics: ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and/or toxicity.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Discussion
a) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less than Significant Impact: Once constructed, the Project itself will not contain, use, or produce any hazardous materials. Project construction activities may involve the use and transport of hazardous materials, such as fuels, oils, and other chemicals (e.g., pains, lead, adhesives, etc.) typically used during construction. Improper use, transportation, and storage of hazardous materials could result in accidental releases or spills that could pose health risks to workers, the public, and the environment.

However, all materials used during construction would be contained, stored, and handled in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations established by DTSC, the EPA, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In addition, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for the project and will include emergency procedures for incidental hazardous materials releases. The SWPPP also includes Best Management Practices which include requirements for hazardous materials storage. Therefore, the impact is less than significant. b) Would the project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact: There is no reasonably foreseeable condition or incident involving the project that could result in release of hazardous materials into the environment, other than any potential accidental releases of standard fuels, solvents, or chemicals encountered during typical construction. Should an accidental hazardous release occur or should the project encounter hazardous soils, existing regulations for handling hazardous materials require coordination with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control for an appropriate plan of action, which can include studies or testing to determine the nature and extent of contamination, as well as handling and proper disposal. Therefore, potential impacts are considered to be less than significant. c) Would the project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Less than Significant Impact: The project is located approximately 0.15 miles from the nearest existing school and is directly adjacent to a planned high school. The Project does not involve emissions or handling of hazardous materials and the impact is less than significant. d) Would the project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
No Impact: The project site is not listed as a hazardous materials site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and is not included on a list compiled by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment and there is no impact.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area? No Impact: The proposed project is not located within an airport land use plan and is not within two miles of a public airport. Reedley Municipal Airport is the nearest public airport to the project site and is located approximately 10.0 miles away. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. There is no impact.
f) Would the project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
No Impact: The City’s site plan review procedures ensure compliance with emergency response and evacuation plans. In addition, the site plan will be reviewed by the Fire Department per standard City procedure to ensure consistency with emergency response and evacuation needs. Therefore, the proposed project would have no impact on emergency evacuation. g) Would the project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires?
No Impact: The land surrounding the project site is developed with urban, suburban, and agricultural uses and are not considered to be wildlands. Additionally, the 2017 Tulare County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan finds that fire hazards within the City of Dinuba, including the proposed project site, have low frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude, and low significance. The proposed project would not expose people or structures to significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires and there is no impact.

Discussion for this section partially originates from the Water Quality Technical Memorandum prepared by 4-Creeks, Inc. in September 2022. The full document can be found in Appendix D of this Initial Study.

Environmental Setting
Regional and Local Hydrology: The San Joaquin Valley has a variety of water sources, including the Sierra snowpack, rivers, and groundwater. The Valley has typical hot and dry summers. The Pacific Ocean is the source of storm events that spread rain over the Valley and its foothills while covering the high Sierra Nevada Mountains with snow.

Snowmelt runoff and flood flows that are caused occasionally by heavy rains are captured behind the Pine Flat Dam on the Kings River, the Terminus Dam on the Kaweah River, and the Friant Dam on the San Joaquin River. These large flows are managed and stored for flood control as well as for spring and summer irrigation use by tens of thousands of valley farmers.
3-46
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 The project is in the Kings Subbasin aquifer of the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin. The Subbasin is bounded by the San Joaquin River to the north, the Sierra Nevada foothills to the east, the South Fork of the Kings River to the south, and the Delta-Mendota and Westside Sub-basins to the west. Pumping water from the aquifer is vital for sustaining crops in places and at times when surface water is not available.

Groundwater is also the main source of drinking water. The aquifer is not a limitless resource, and more water is currently being pumped out than is being replenished. However, this project will not involve a well or sewage disposal or result in a threat of aquifer contamination or hazard to public health.

There are no wetlands within or immediately adjacent to the project area according to the National Wetland Inventory (Figure 7). The project will not involve any work in wetlands. Within Dinuba, there are some small ponds, but the main water features are the network of agricultural canals and flood control channels that traverse the area. Numerous agricultural ponds, recharge basins, and other similar features also dot the surrounding area’s landscape.

Existing Water Quality
• Surface Water Quality Objectives/Standards and Beneficial Uses: Surface water is not used in Dinuba. The City may explore future opportunities to purchase surface water. The Project is planning to widen the existing Kamm Avenue across the Dinuba Town Ditch. The Ditch is a manmade surface water delivery canal that delivers groundwater to rural and urban users. There are no natural water courses adjacent to the area. The Ditch is not listed as an impaired water body by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, nor does it appear on the 303(d) for any proposed TMDLs. However, Cross Creek, where water from the Ditch can potentially flow, is listed for high toxicity.
• Groundwater Quality Objectives/Standards and Beneficial Uses: The groundwater in Dinuba and the Project area is the sole water supply source. The water quality from the Kings Subbasin is sufficient to be used for drinking water, agricultural uses, and all other uses. The Kings Subbasin is designated as critically over-drafted. The Project construction will require a minimal amount of water for dirt compaction and will not affect the groundwater supply.

Regulatory Setting
Clean Water Act: The Clean Water Act (CWA) is enforced by the U.S. EPA and was developed in 1972 to regulate discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States. The Act made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters unless a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is obtained.

Central Valley RWQCB: The proposed project site is within the jurisdiction of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The Central Valley RWQCB requires a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for projects disturbing more than one acre of total land area. Because the project is greater than one acre, a NPDES Permit and SWPPP will be required.

Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 City of Dinuba General Plan: The Dinuba General Plan contains the following policies relating to hydrology and water quality.
• OSCR-3.10: Protect areas of natural groundwater recharge from land uses and disposal methods which would degrade groundwater quality. Promote activities which combine stormwater control, and water recharges.
• OSCR-3.11: The City will expand programs that enhance groundwater recharge in order to maintain the groundwater supply, including the installation of detention/retention ponds in new growth areas.
• PS-7.1: Continue to coordinate community irrigation ditch issues with Alta Irrigation District, private ditch companies, private landowners, and public agencies. Require that irrigation ditches be piped prior to development on adjacent property.
• PS-7.6: Design runoff drainage structures to decrease erosion. • S-8.44: In flood-hazard areas, natural watercourses should be identified, and their flow capacities shall be preserved. This does not prohibit relocation. All grading, including relocation and agricultural grading, which can substantially affect natural drainage channels shall require a grading plan and City permit. The Director of Public Works shall review and approve the grading plan before work may be initiated.

Discussion
a) Would the project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? Less than Significant Impact: The project will result in less than significant impacts to water quality due to potentially polluted runoff generated during construction activities. Construction would include excavation, grading, and other earthwork that may occur across most of the 5.0-acre project site. During storm events, exposed construction areas across the project site may cause runoff to carry pollutants, such as chemicals, oils, sediment, and debris. However, implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required for the project. A SWPPP identifies all potential sources of pollution that could affect stormwater discharges from the project site and identifies best management practices (BMPs) related to stormwater runoff. Therefore, the impacts would be less than significant.
b) Would the project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin?

No Impact: The proposed Project, once operational, will not require on-going use of water and therefore would not affect an aquifer or local water table. Therefore, the Project will have no impact. c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner, which would:

iii. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
iv. Impede or redirect flood flows?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Implementation:

Short Term Impacts during Construction: During Project construction, the new installation of the pipe will not interfere with the flow or distribution. All flows will be able to pass through during constriction via bypass pumping systems. The bypass pumping systems will be manned full-time by construction personnel to ensure flow remains consistent. To reduce the impact, the contractor will not initiate any work during the irrigation season, which varies annually.

Construction activities would involve soil-disturbing activities such as trenching, grading, and preparing the soil for the new piping for the Ditch. Disturbed soil would be exposed to wind and water-generated erosion. All disturbed soil and pipe bedding will be compacted to a minimum of 90% density to reduce erosion. All temporarily affected areas will be restored to pre-construction contours and conditions upon completion of construction activities.

The disturbed area of the Project site does not discharge to a sensitive water body, either directly or indirectly. The receiving water risk is low and the impact is less than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-1.

Long-Term Impacts During Operation and Maintenance: Runoff pollution from Alta Avenue during operation can include dirt, rubber deposits, metal deposits, antifreeze, engine oil, and litter. However, with the Ditch being piped underground, and not returning to the surface until outside of the ROW, impacts from the street and vehicles will be minimal. A trash rack will be installed on the outfall structure when the Ditch returns to the surface to prevent any litter from continuing downstream. The pipe will be bedded in a minimum of three inches of sand below the pipe and a minimum of one foot above the pipe to prevent any pollutants from reaching the water inside the pipe. In addition, a locator tape marked “Caution Irrigation Pipeline Buried Below” will be placed on the surface above the pipe. The storm drainpipe materials and installation within the city street ROW shall meet the requirements of the 2007 Dinuba Public Works Improvement Standards.

By implementing Mitigation Measure HYD-1, the Project will not produce significant impacts on water quality during construction or operation. The impact is less than significant with mitigation.
3-49
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 d) Would the project, in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk the release of pollutants due to project inundation?
No Impact: The proposed project is located inland and not near an ocean or large body of water, and therefore, would not be affected by a tsunami. The proposed project is located in a relatively flat area and would not be impacted by inundation related to mudflow. Since the project is located in an area that is not susceptible to inundation, the project would not risk release of pollutants due to project inundation. As such, there is no impact.
e) Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
No Impact: The proposed project will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan. The proposed project will be subject to the requirements of the NPDES Stormwater Program and will be required to comply with a SWPPP, which will identify all potential sources of pollution that could affect stormwater discharges from the project site and identify BMPs to prevent significant impacts related to stormwater runoff.

The proposed project site is within the jurisdiction of the Kings River East Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). The Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) was adopted by the Kings River East GSA in December 2019. The plan was reviewed for consistency with the proposed project and it was determined that the proposed project does not conflict with and would not obstruct implementation of the GSP. There is no impact.

Mitigation Measures for Hydrology and Water Quality
Mitigation Measure HYD-1: The Project shall implement the following Best Management Practices to prevent run-on and runoff pollution, properly dispose of wastes, and train employees and subcontractors.
• Construction will begin outside of the irrigation season when the Ditch will be dry. Soil, silt, or other organic materials shall not be placed where such materials could pass into surface water or surface water drainage courses. All areas disturbed by project activities shall be protected from washout or erosion. All drainage protective devices such as swales, interception ditches, protective berms, concrete channels, or other measures designed to protect improvements from runoff must be constructed before the construction of the project. • The amount and duration of soil exposed to erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking should be minimized by applying water or other dust palliatives, as necessary. Watering should occur at least twice a day with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning and after work is completed for the day. Covering small stockpiles or areas is an alternative to applying water.

The stockpiles should be located a minimum of fifty feet away from concentrated flows of stormwater, drainage courses, and inlets. The stockpiles should be protected using a temporary perimeter sediment barrier. All clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation activities will cease during periods of high winds greater than twenty mph. Vehicles will be prohibited from being on non-active portions of the Project site. All vehicles on site will be limited to 15 MPH to reduce dust forming. The contractor shall maintain dust control on the site as specified by "Caltrans Standard Specifications 2015".
• Stabilized construction access should be provided at entrances to reduce or eliminate the tracking of sediment onto public streets. Visible sediment tracking should be swept or vacuumed daily. For solid waste management from clearing and grubbing, BMPs would include providing designated 3-50
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 waste collection areas and containers and arranging for regular disposal. For concrete waste management, the washout should be conducted offsite or in a designated area at least fifty feet from the Ditch.
• Vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling, and maintenance should be done offsite or in a designated, contained area only. The discharge of petroleum products or other excavated materials to surface water channels is prohibited. The Discharger shall notify the City of Dinuba immediately of any spill of petroleum products or other organic or earthen materials. • Following construction, all trenches will be filled to reduce any impact. • The Discharger shall maintain a copy of the supporting documentation at the project site during construction for review by site personnel and agencies. All personnel (employees, contractors, and subcontractors) performing work on the proposed project shall be adequately informed and trained regarding the conditions of the certification.
• The project disturbs over one acre of soil, therefore a Water Pollution Control Program and SWPPP will need to be prepared by the contractor per Caltrans 2010 Standard Specification Section 13-2.
• The Discharger shall notify the City of Dinuba immediately if any of the above conditions are violated, along with a description of measures it is taking to remedy the violation. By incorporating proper and accepted engineering practices and BMPs, the proposed project will not produce significant impacts on water quality during construction or its operation. 3-51

Environmental Setting
There are no mineral resource zones in Tulare County and there is no mineral extraction occurring on or adjacent to the proposed project site. Historical mines within the County include mineral deposits of tungsten, copper, gold, magnesium and lead, however most of these mines are now closed – leaving only 37 active mining operations. There are no active mining operations within the City of Dinuba.

Regulatory Setting
California State Surface Mining and Reclamation Act: The California State Surface Mining and Reclamation Act was adopted in 1975 to regulate surface mining to prevent adverse environmental impacts and to preserve the state’s mineral resources. The Act is enforced by the California Department of Conservation’s Division of Mine Reclamation.

Discussion
a) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
No Impact: The project site has no known mineral resources that would be of a value to the region and the residents of the state, therefore the proposed project would not result in the loss of impede the mining of regionally or locally important mineral resources. There is no impact. b) Would the project result in the loss of availability of a locally - important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other lands use plan? No Impact: There are no known mineral resources of importance to the region and the project site is not designated under the City’s or County’s General Plan as an important mineral resource recovery site. For that reason, the proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of known regionally or locally important mineral resources. There is no impact.

   
Environmental Setting
Noise is often described as unwanted sound. Sound is the variation in air pressure that the human ear can detect. If the pressure variations occur at least 20 times per second, they can be detected by the human ear. The number of pressure variations per second is called the frequency of sound, and is expressed as cycles per second, called Hertz (Hz). Ambient noise is the “background” noise of an environment. Ambient noise levels on the proposed project site are primarily due to agricultural activities and traffic.

Construction activities usually result in an increase in sound above ambient noise levels.

Discussion
a) Would the project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permeant increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact: Project construction is anticipated to last approximately 3 months and will involve temporary noise sources. The average noise levels generated by construction equipment that will be used in the proposed project are shown below.

The City of Dinuba Noise Ordinance identifies the following noise thresholds for noise sources related to construction (Table 3-9). However, Section 9.54.070 of the Noise Ordinance states that noise regulations do not apply construction, repair or remodeling work accomplished pursuant to a building electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or other construction permit issued by the city or other governmental agency, or to site preparation and grading, provided such work takes place between the hours of seven a.m. and ten p.m. on any day. The project will comply with these regulations and construction will only occur Monday through Frida between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

Distance from Inhabited Building Noise Threshold
300 feet to the noise receiver Unrestricted noise level 200 feet to the noise receiver 90 decibels at the property line of the noise source 100 feet to the noise receiver 80 decibels at the property line of the noise source 50 feet to the noise receiver 70 decibels at the property line of the noise source Table 3-9. Noise Thresholds for Construction Sites.

The project itself will not generate long term noise levels. The project itself will improve local roadway operations, but will not generate additional vehicle trips through the intersection. The Project is therefore not considered to be growth inducing and will not result in noise impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR.

Because noise generated from construction would be temporary, construction activities would comply with all measures established by the City to limit construction related noise impacts, and operational noise would be consistent with existing noise levels, what was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR, the impact is less than significant. b) Would the project result in generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or groundborne noise levels?
Less than Significant Impact: Ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels may occur as part of construction activities associated with the project. Construction activities will be temporary and will not expose persons to such vibration or noise levels for an extended period of time. Therefore, impacts are less than significant.

This is an increase from the 2020 census, which counted the population in the City of Dinuba to be 24,563.

Factors that influence population growth include job availability, housing availability, and the capacity of existing infrastructure.

Regulatory Setting
The size of the population in the City of Dinuba is controlled by the development code and Land Use Element of the General Plan. These documents regulate the number of dwelling units per acre allowed on various land uses and establish minimum and maximum lot sizes. These factors have a direct impact on the City’s population size. The project site is located entirely within the public ROW. Therefore, no residences are permitted within the project area.

Discussion
a) Would the project induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by new homes and businesses) or directly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?
No Impact: The project does not propose any new homes and there are no residential structures currently on-site. The Project itself will improve local roadway operations but would not generate additional vehicle trips. The Project is therefore not considered to be growth inducing. The proposed Project will not affect any regional population, housing, or employment projections anticipated by City of Dinuba policy documents. Therefore, there is no impact. b) Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
No Impact: There project does not involve the removal of existing residences and would not displace any people. There is no impact.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Discussion
a) Would the project conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? Less than Significant Impact: The project includes the conversion of a four-way signalized intersection into a two-lane roundabout, installation of pedestrian/cyclist facilities (sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle ramps, and related improvements (signage/striping, etc.). The proposed project is located in the City of Diniuba and would not conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. A project’s effect on automobile delay, typically measured based on “level of service” (LOS) would not constitute a significant environmental impact under the CEQA Guidelines effective July 1, 2020. This impact is less than significant.
b) Would the project conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b)?
Less than Significant Impact: As described in Section 15064.3: “Vehicle miles traveled” refers to the amount and distance of automobile travel “attributable to a project.” The OPR Technical Advisory recommends several VMT metrics, screening criteria, VMT evaluation methodology and thresholds of significance for different types of projects.

For Transportation projects, OPR recommends projects be evaluated based on their likelihood of inducing a measurable and substantial increase in vehicle travel. The OPR Technical Advisory states that installation of roundabouts or traffic circles are not likely to lead to a substantial or measurable increase in vehicle travel and should generally not require an induced travel analysis.

Because installation of the proposed roundabout is not anticipated to result in a substantial or measurable increase in vehicle travel, the project would not conflict with or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, Subdivision (b). The impact is less than significant. c) Would the project substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project is not anticipated to substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment). Improvements would include the conversion of a four-way signalized intersection into a two-lane roundabout, installation of pedestrian/cyclist facilities (sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle ramps, and related improvements (signage/striping, etc.). Construction activities will include demo of existing asphalt, sidewalk, and curb within project limits, placement of aggregate base and pavement, piping existing irrigation ditch underground, extension of sewer and stormwater lines through intersection, and street light installation. The proposed project design will be subject to review and permitting by the City of Dinuba and other agencies (as described in the Project Description) to ensure the design and construction is consistent with applicable standards. This impact is less than significant.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 Definitions
• Historical Resources: Historical resources are defined by CEQA as resources that are listed in or eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources, resources that are listed in a local historical resource register, or resources that are otherwise determined to be historical under California Public Resources Code Section 21084.1 or California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5. Under these definitions Historical Resources can include archaeological resources, Tribal cultural resources, and Paleontological Resources.
• Archaeological Resources: As stated above, archaeological resources may be considered historical resources. If they do not meet the qualifications under the California Public Resources Code 21084.1 or California Code of Regulations Section 15064.5, they are instead determined to be “unique” as defined by the CEQA Statute Section 21083.2. A unique archaeological resource is an artifact, object, or site that: (1) contains information (for which there is a demonstrable public interest) needed to answer important scientific research questions; (2) has a special and particular quality, such as being the oldest of its type or the best available example of its type; or (3) is directly associated with a scientifically recognized important prehistoric or historic event or person.
• Tribal Cultural Resource (TCR): Tribal Cultural Resources can include site features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, or objects, which are of cultural value to a Tribe. It is either listed on or eligible for the CA Historic Register or a local historic register, or determined by the lead agency to be treated as TCR.
• Paleontological Resources: For the purposes of this section, “paleontological resources” refers to the fossilized plant and animal remains of prehistoric species. Paleontological Resources are a limited scientific and educational resource and are valued for the information they yield about the history of the earth and its ecology. Fossilized remains, such as bones, teeth, shells, and leaves, are found in geologic deposits (i.e., rock formations). Paleontological resources generally include the geologic formations and localities in which the fossils are collected.

California Historic Register: The California Historic Register was developed as a program to identify, evaluate, register, and protect Historical Resources in California. California Historical Landmarks are sites, buildings, features, or events that are of statewide significance and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, economic, scientific, religious, experimental, or other value. In order for a resource to be designated as a historical landmark, it must meet the following criteria:
• The first, last, only, or most significant of its type in the state or within a large geographic region (Northern, Central, or Southern California).
• Associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of California. 3-69

Discussion
Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:
a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k), or Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: An Archaeological Survey Report was prepared by applied Earthworks in December 2022. The full report can be found in Appendix E. Applied EarthWorks’ investigation included a records search to identify previously recorded resources and prior studies within 0.5 miles of the APE, a review of the Native American Heritage Commission’s Sacred Lands File and initiation of Native American outreach, a review of pertinent topographic maps, aerial photographs, and General Land Office Plat Maps, and a pedestrian survey of the APE.

The Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File search and Native American contacts did not identify any sacred areas or provide information pertaining to Native American resources. Applied EarthWorks’ pedestrian survey on November 14, 2022, did not identify any prehistoric archaeological resources within the Direct APE.

Although no tribal cultural resources were identified, the presence of remains or unanticipated cultural resources under the ground surface is possible. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL1 and CUL-2 will ensure that impacts to this checklist item will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resource Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.

Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: Based on the findings on the Archaeological Survey Report, which included a Cultural Resources Records Search, Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands File Search, Archival Research, Native American Outreach, and a Pedestrian Survey, there are no known tribal cultural resources within the project area. The full Archaeological Survey Report is available in Appendix E.

Environmental Setting
Wastewater: The proposed project will not generate wastewater. Sewer lines would be extended through the intersection as part of the proposed improvements, per City of Dinuba development standards.

Solid Waste: The proposed project will not generate solid waste and will not require solid waste collection services.

Water: An existing water line runs along Alta Avenue and will remain following project implementation.

The project would utilize minimal water resource to support drought tolerant landscaping.

Storm Drainage: As part of proposed improvements, the Project includes extension of stormdrain lines through the intersection, per City of Dinuba Development Standards. Stormwater would be collected and conveyed to the City’s existing stormwater management system.

Regulatory Setting
CalRecycle: California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Natural Resources – Division 7 contains all current CalRecycle regulations regarding nonhazardous waste management in the state. These regulations include 3-72
Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 standards for the handling of solid waste, standards for the handling of compostable materials, design standards for disposal facilities, and disposal standards for specific types of waste.

Central Valley RWQCB: The Central Valley RWQCB requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for projects disturbing more than one acre of total land area. Because the project is greater than one acre, a SWPPP to manage stormwater generated during project construction will be required.

The Central Valley RWQCB regulates Wastewater Discharges to Land by establishing thresholds for discharged pollutants and implementing monitoring programs to evaluate program compliance. This program regulates approximately 1500 dischargers in the region.

The Central Valley RWQCB is also responsible for implementing the federal program, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NPDES Program is the federal permitting program that regulates discharges of pollutants to surface waters of the U.S. Under this program, a NPDES permit is required to discharge pollutants into Water’s of the U.S. There are 350 permitted facilities within the Central Valley Region.

Discussion
a) Would the project require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or stormwater drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relation of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less than Significant Impact: The proposed project will extend sewer and stormwater lines through the project area and relocate 2 existing power poles as part of improvements to the Kamm avenue and Alta Avenue intersection.

Although the project would result in the construction of new stormwater and wastewater collection facilities, the project itself will not generate wastewater, so it does not have to potential to exceed wastewater treatment capacities.

The proposed improvements would result in new impervious surfaces that could increase the amount of stormwater runoff. However, the project proposes to extend stormwater lines through the project area as part of the intersection improvements. Stormwater would be collected and conveyed through the City’s existing stormwater management system, which has adequate capacity to accommodate these flows. The project will also incorporate appropriate pollution prevention and BMPs in accordance with the City design standards and RWQCB requirements. Two existing power poles will need to be relocated to accommodate the proposed intersection improvements, however relocation of these poles will not necessitate new power generation facilities to be constructed that would have a significant impact on the environment.

Because the improvements to the Kamm Avenue and Alta Avenue intersection, including sewer lines, stormwater lines, and power pole relocation, would not require the construction any additional water, wastewater treatment, storage drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities beyond those analyzed in this IS/MND, the impact is less than significant. 3-73

The project would incorporate drought tolerant landscaping so water use is expected to be minimal. As such, existing water supplies are sufficient to serve the project during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. The impact is less than significant. c) Would the project result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments?

No Impact: The project is located on a flat area of land with little risk of fire. The Tulare County MultiJurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of fire within the City of Dinuba as having unlikely frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude, and low significance. The project would not exacerbate wildfire risks and expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of wildfire. There is no impact. c) Would the project require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? No Impact: The proposed project involves the installation of fire hydrants as part of proposed street improvements. If anything, installation of these features would reduce fire risks within the vicinity of the project site. There is no impact.
d) Would the project expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire instability, or drainage changes? No Impact: The project site is located on land with relatively flat topography. Therefore, the project would not be susceptible to downslope or downstream flooding or landslides as a result of post-fire instability or drainage changes. There is no impact.

Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: This initial study/mitigated negative declaration found the project could have significant impacts on water, cultural, and Tribal cultural resources. However, implementation of the identified mitigation measures for each respective section would ensure that impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporation. b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively considerable” means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?

Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration January 2023 project are cumulatively considerable. The assessment of the significance of the cumulative effects of a project must, therefore, be conducted in connection with the effects of past projects, other current projects, and probable future projects. Due to the nature of the project and consistency with environmental policies, incremental contributions to impacts are considered less than cumulatively considerable. The proposed project would not contribute substantially to adverse cumulative conditions, or create any substantial indirect impacts (i.e., increase in population could lead to an increase need for housing, increase in traffic, air pollutants, etc). Impacts would be less than significant.
c) Does the project have environmental effects, which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Less Than Significant Impact: The analyses of environmental issues contained in this Initial Study indicate that the project is not expected to have substantial impact on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Mitigation measures have been incorporated in the project design to reduce all potentially significant impacts to less than significant, which results in a less than significant impact to this checklist item.

3.6 MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
As required by Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, subd. (a)(1), a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been prepared for the project in order to monitor the implementation of the mitigation measures that have been adopted for the project. This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) has been created based upon the findings of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Alta Avenue & Kamm Avenue Roundabout Project in the City of Dinuba.

The first column of the table identifies the mitigation measure. The second column names the party responsible for carrying out the required action. The third column, “Timing of Mitigation Measure” identifies the time the mitigation measure should be initiated. The fourth column, “Responsible Party for Monitoring,” names the party ensuring that the mitigation measure is implemented. The last column will be used by the City of Dinuba to ensure that the individual mitigation measures have been monitored.

Plan checking and verification of mitigation compliance shall be the responsibility of the City of Dinuba.

are found, the State of California 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. In the event of an
unanticipated discovery of human remains, the
County Coroner must be notified immediately. If
the human remains are determined to be
prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native
American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which
will determine and notify a most likely
descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the
inspection of the site within 48 hours of
notification and may recommend scientific
removal and nondestructive analysis of human

Mitigation Measure HYD-1: The Project shall
implement the following Best Management
Practices to prevent run-on and runoff pollution,
properly dispose of wastes, and train employees
and subcontractors.
• Construction will begin outside of the
irrigation season when the Ditch will be dry.

Soil, silt, or other organic materials shall not be
placed where such materials could pass into
surface water or surface water drainage
courses. All areas disturbed by project
activities shall be protected from washout or
erosion. All drainage protective devices such
as swales, interception ditches, protective
berms, concrete channels, or other measures
designed to protect improvements from
runoff must be constructed before the
construction of the project.
• The amount and duration of soil exposed to
erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle
tracking should be minimized by applying
water or other dust palliatives, as necessary.

Watering should occur at least twice a day
with complete coverage, preferably in the late
morning and after work is completed for the
day. Covering small stockpiles or areas is an
alternative to applying water. The stockpiles
should be located a minimum of fifty feet away
from concentrated flows of stormwater,
drainage courses, and inlets. The stockpiles
should be protected using a temporary
perimeter sediment barrier. All clearing,
grading, earth moving, or excavation activities
will cease during periods of high winds greater
than twenty mph. Vehicles will be prohibited
from being on non-active portions of the
Project site. All vehicles on site will be limited
to 15 MPH to reduce dust forming. The
contractor shall maintain dust control on the
site as specified by "Caltrans Standard
Specifications 2015".
• Stabilized construction access should be
provided at entrances to reduce or eliminate
the tracking of sediment onto public streets.

Visible sediment tracking should be swept or
vacuumed daily. For solid waste management
from clearing and grubbing, BMPs would
include providing designated waste collection
areas and containers and arranging for regular
disposal. For concrete waste management, the
washout should be conducted offsite or in a
designated area at least fifty feet from the
Ditch.

• Vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling, and
maintenance should be done offsite or in a
designated, contained area only. The
discharge of petroleum products or other
excavated materials to surface water channels
is prohibited. The Discharger shall notify the
City of Dinuba immediately of any spill of
petroleum products or other organic or
earthen materials.
• Following construction, all trenches will be
filled to reduce any impact.
• The Discharger shall maintain a copy of the
supporting documentation at the project site
during construction for review by site
personnel and agencies. All personnel
(employees, contractors, and subcontractors)
performing work on the proposed project shall
be adequately informed and trained regarding
the conditions of the certification.
• The project disturbs over one acre of soil,
therefore a Water Pollution Control Program
and SWPPP will need to be prepared by the
contractor per Caltrans 2010 Standard
Specification Section 13-2.
• The Discharger shall notify the City of Dinuba
immediately if any of the above conditions are
violated, along with a description of measures
it is taking to remedy the violation. By
incorporating proper and accepted
engineering practices and BMPs, the proposed
project will not produce significant impacts on
water quality during construction or its
operation.

Mid-year Budget Report and Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 (KS)

RECOMMENDATION
Council to take the following action by one motion:

1. Accept the Fiscal Year 2022/23 Mid-Year Financial Report and Second Quarter Financials; and,

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-09 approving budget amendments for Fiscal Year 2022/23.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2022/23 Second Quarter Financials are presented to the City Council in accordance with the City Charter. The Mid-Year Report reflects the city's financial position at the mid-point in the budget year that began on July 1, 2022 and ends on June 30, 2023. The second quarter financials reflect revenues and expenditures for the period of October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. The mid-year financial review provides the city with an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the budget is balanced at the end of the fiscal year. As such, staff is recommending budget amendments to reflect changes through the first half of the budget year.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.

DISCUSSION
For the Mid-Year Budget, the report is summarized by fund type. They are as follows:

General Fund Revenues (Attachment A)
The General Fund covers core services such as Police, Fire, Planning and Development, and Parks and Community Services. Sales and property taxes are the two largest sources of revenue in the General Fund. Revenues in the General Fund are at 36% and expenditures are at 48% at mid-year.

PROPERTY TAX
Through the second quarter the City has received 53% of property tax revenues. The major portion of property tax revenue is received in December and the second largest receipt comes in April.

MOTOR VEHICLE IN LIEU
The city has received 50% of Motor Vehicle in Lieu Fees (VLF) through December 31, 2022. VLF revenues are property tax shares allocated to cities and counties that began in fiscal year 2004-2005 as compensation for Vehicle License Fee previously allocated to cities and counties by the state. The month of December reflects the first payment made this year.

SALES TAX
Sales tax represents the largest funding source in the general fund. Through the second quarter, 19% of Sales Tax revenues have been received. Sales tax revenues are two months in arrears, therefore in December 2022, only four months’ worth of revenue was collected. At year-end, it is anticipated that the sales tax figures will come within the budgeted amount.

UTILITY USERS TAX
Through the second quarter, 56% of Utility User's tax revenues were received.

Amounts usually vary in this tax because usage varies from one season (hot summer) to the next (mild fall) and the next (cold winter).

TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX
Through December 31, 2022, the city has received 34% of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), or hotel tax. These taxes are received on a quarterly basis. The 34% reflects $99,404 received in October. The next installment to be received in January will reflect a true six months’ worth of revenue.

BUSINESS LICENSES
The city received 109% of Business License revenues through December 31, 2022.

Business Licenses are collected at the beginning of each fiscal year. This revenue category will routinely appear high during the first three quarters of every year.

FRANCHISE TAX
The collection of fees from utilities (i.e., PG&E, Comcast Cable, etc.) are made for using city rights-of- way. The City has received 8% of franchise tax revenues, or $24,874 from the Comcast Cable in the month of December. Pacific Gas & Electric pays their franchise tax to the city in April of each year.

PERMITS/FINES/SERVICE FEES
Permits, Fines and Services Fees through December 31, 2022 were at 79%. Permits and Recreational Activities make up a large portion of these estimated revenues and they are exceeding the benchmark for the first six months of the year largely due to Public Improvement Plan checks and Inspection fees. Staff will monitor the revenues and will prepare year-end budget amendments if necessary.

OVERHEAD/INTERNAL SERVICE
Revenues from Internal Service charges through December 31, 2022 were at 50%.

These charges are allocated to the appropriate funds on a monthly basis.

OTHER REVENUE
Revenue from other sources at are currently at 78%. The revenues considered “other” are from grants, franchise tax, investments, reimbursements, and miscellaneous receipts. The proportionally large percentage of revenue received is due to increased interest received from investments. Adjustments to account for the increased interest will be made at year end as needed.

GENERAL FUND
EXPENDITURES (Attachment A)
The City has expended roughly 48% of its appropriations as of December 31, 2022.

In City Attorney, litigation for a case has caused the budget to surpass the budgeted amount by 156%. It is important to note that the litigation for this case was being handled by a contracted Attorney and not the City Attorney. The litigation has come to an end and no further expenses are anticipated. A budget amendment is included to adjust for the additional expenses incurred for this case.

All other departments are on target to their budgeted lines from actual to budget for mid-year in the General fund.

REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES-ALL FUNDS (Attachment B)
As summarized in Attachment 'B' the summary of all funds revenues reflect the revenues and expenditures for the mid-year ending December 31, 2022 by fund type.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS

UTILITY FUNDS
Through December, expenses exceeded revenues in the Enterprise Funds. While revenues were at 41% and 32% through December for water and sewer respectively, expenses were slightly higher at 62% and 66% in these funds. Through the mid-year, disposal revenues are at 43% and the expenditures are on target at 50%. At the end of this quarter the utility funds revenues only reflect two months’ worth of revenues; however at the end of the year the two months will be accrued.

TRANSIT
Expenses are at 44% at mid-year. Revenues are at 0%. Revenue for this fund was previously received from Fresno County, the State of California, and the federal government, but now that the Tulare County Regional Transit Authority (TCRTA) joint powers authority is managing the City’s transit, revenues received (reimbursements) will be solely from the TCRTA.

AMBULANCE
The City continues to secure additional funding through the Intergovernmental Transfer (IGT) program through the California Health Care Services Department. At mid-year, revenues are at 28% of budget, while expenses are at 53%.

GOLF COURSE
The Golf course fund is producing better than was anticipated at the preparation of the budget. This fund is exceeding the expenses slightly at 55%; however, this is offset by higher than budgeted revenues, which are at 62% for mid-year.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS

INSURANCE
For the mid-year revenues are on track at 50%, while expenditures are at 52%. A budget amendment will be necessary in this fund to allocate the expenses for Disability and Life Insurance that were inadvertently missed during the adoption of the budget.

HEALTH INSURANCE
For Health Insurance, revenues and expenditures are on target at 54% and 53% respectively.

SPECIAL REVENUES

GAS TAX AND TRANSPORTATION
The gas tax fund is at a 22% in revenue and expenses are at 45%. Gas tax revenue is historically received two months in arrears. Through December 31, 2022, the Transportation fund is 27% in revenues and expenses are at 53%. Intergovernmental transfers from the state for both Gas Tax and Transportation are typically received towards the end of the fiscal year.

PUBLIC SAFETY SALES TAX
The Public Safety Sales Tax revenues are at 32% as of second quarter and expenses are at 44%. Revenues are expected to be on target at year end; however, since two months are accrued back at the end of the year, revenues appear to be low at mid-year.

COPS AND POST TRAINING
The revenue for these funds is currently at 96% due to an increase in the allocation for the COPS grant, while the expenses are at 74%. It is anticipated that budget amendments will be needed at year-end to adjust for the additional revenue and therefore, expenses will also be adjusted to utilize the additional revenue received.

SUCCESSOR AGENCY
The payments for the RDA Debt Service were made in the first and second quarters, putting expenses at 73% and revenues at 71%.

CAPITAL FUNDS

CONSTRUCTION FUNDS
The construction funds consist of four main funds that are designated for Capital Projects and two litigation settlement funds. The Capital funds include Capital Facilities, Water, Sewer and Transportation. Through mid-year, expenses were at 25% while revenues are at 6%. For these funds, the expense must be made in order to receive reimbursement, therefore, the revenues will be received in future months.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
The long-term debt service funds of General, Water, Sewer and the Financing Authority are all showing Revenues are at 72% and expenses at 71% through December 31, 2022. The revenues and expenses are slightly higher due to the significant debt service payments being made in the first and second quarters. These payments are made semi-annually and thus skew the mid- year picture.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS (Attachment C)
Several mid-year budget amendments are being proposed to align the expenditures and revenues to the budget. They are as follows:

General Fund – An adjustment is proposed to bring revenues to actual and several adjustments are needed on the expense side to account for one-time expenses.

In Service and Fee – Outsourcing Expense, an adjustment is needed for increased revenue for a one-time item.

In the City Attorney division, a one-time increase for additional litigation charges in Professional and Technical for the expenses associated with the litigation of a case that is now closed.

In General Services increases to expenses include a one-time expense for a storm water SCADA system; $7,000 for the NeoGov Human Resources platform to facilitate the recruitment processes; $19,259 for the installation of a security door at the Community Center and a transfer of $1.9 million to the Transportation Construction Fund for improvements to Euclid Avenue and the Alta/Nebraska Roundabout projects.

The Euclid Avenue Improvements consisted of adding curb, sidewalks, bulb-outs for safe routes to school and infrastructure for future development. For the Alta/Nebraska Roundabout, a budget amendment is required to cover change orders consisting of increased costs to construction and extension of utility infrastructure and shoulder stabilization.

In Risk Management Fund, an adjustment in expenses for $180,000 for the Disability/Life Insurance Expenses that are paid annually that were inadvertently overlooked during the adoption of the budget.

Capital Funds
In Transportation Construction, budget amendments are needed on both the revenue and expense sides to account for the Euclid Avenue Improvements and the Alta/Nebraska Roundabout.

Enterprise Funds
For the Water fund, adjustments are needed to account for the outright purchase of a Backhoe. The original budget allocated $30,000 for an annual payment for the fiveyear lease to purchase for the piece of equipment, but with the increase of interest rates, it was financially prudent to pay for the Backhoe outright. The total cost of the backhoe is $120,000 and with the adopted budget of $30,000, the budget amendment will be for the $90,000 difference that will be expensed from fund balance.

In the Vocational Center fund, the sale of the Vocational Center is requiring adjustments for the lease payments, the deposit received and the final sale of the building. Adjustments to the expenses related to the preparation of the sale in Repair and Maintenance are also presented as a budget amendment.

In the Public Safety Fund (Measure F), a budget amendment is required to finalize the Radio Replacement Project that began in fiscal year 2021/22. The full project was funded in 2021/22; however, due to timing, the last portion of the project ended in the current fiscal year.

FISCAL IMPACT
After the budget amendments, revenues and expenditures for all fund types are expected to be on target. Staff will continue to monitor all funds and make any necessary budget adjustments in future financial reports.

PUBLIC HEARING
None.

Subject: Mid-year Cash and Investment Report for Fiscal Year 2022/23 (KS)

RECOMMENDATION
Council accept the City of Dinuba Mid-year Cash and Investment report for fiscal year 2022/23.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The investment report summarizes the city's cash and rates of return on investments.

The cash investment report presented herein focuses on the first half of the 2022/23 fiscal year.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.

DISCUSSION
Cash and Investment Summary
The mid-year cash and investment summary for the first half of the 2022/23 fiscal year covers the city’s cash position and return on investments through the first six months of the fiscal year, particularly focusing on the time frame between July 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022.

The city’s cash and investments as of December 31, 2022, total $58.92 million as reflected on Table 1 and summarized in Attachment ‘A’.

(in

Tulare County Investment Pool $10.00
Total Cash & Investments $58.92
Portfolio and Managed Investments
Historically, the city had invested the majority of its cash in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). LAIF is a pooled investment fund established by the state to provide cities with safe investment option that is administered by the State of California Treasurer’s Office. Interest rates in LAIF lag behind the current economic trends; as such, earnings or returns are typically lower than other investment vehicles.

In late September 2022, after discussions between City staff and Mechanics Bank, the bank agreed to increase rates of return on their Public Investment Money Market Account (PIMMA). City staff made several transfers to the Money Market Account as interest rates would rise. At the end of December, a total of $23 million had been invested, which returned approximately $149 thousand during that time period.

In the first half of the 2022/23 fiscal year, council approved two changes in the City’s investments. One of the changes was to adopt Resolution No. 2022-50, which granted the City the ability to invest in the Tulare County Investment Pool. The other change was to the Investment Policy to allow for Joint Powers Authority (JPA), participation which gave the City the ability to join CAMP (California Asset Management Program).

Investments with the Tulare County Investment Pool began on November 7, 2022.

Staff invested $10,000,000 which is the maximum amount allowed by council. The interest received from Tulare County is recognized on January 1, 2023; therefore, will be included in the next investment report.

The city began investing in the CAMP JPA January 4, 2023. Accordingly, the activity associated with this investment will be reflected in the next investment report as well.

The City’s Cash and Investment Summary is enclosed as Attachment ‘A’.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s monetary resources are organized and accounted for on a fund basis with some of those funds being restricted for specified uses and others that are unrestricted. For investment purposes, all funds are invested as a pool.

The investment report for the period ending December 31, 2022 shows a combined pool balance of $58,923,165, of which, $377,640 was the combined pool interest earnings. In comparison, for the same time-frame in fiscal year 2021/22, the interest earnings were $191,432. This results in a 97% increase in interest earned in the first half of 2022/23.

At the end of the first half of the 2022/23 fiscal year, LAIF interest rates were at

2.070%, while PIMMA ended the first half of the fiscal year with an interest rate of

4.000%; however, the interest received from LAIF was $228,333 for the period, while PIMMA was $149,307. The discrepancy between the interest rate and the final interest received is due to the timing of the investments. The City began transferring funds into PIMMA to increase the investment amount in late September 2022, while the majority of the City’s funds remained in LAIF since the beginning of the fiscal year starting on July 1, 2022.

Interest for the mid-year report reflects rising interest rates currently being offered on safe investments, including PIMMA, LAIF, and the Tulare County Investment Pool.

All of these investments are liquid, so if at any point, the City needs to convert any of these investments into cash, it can be done quickly and easily without having a significant impact on the value.

The first half of the 2022/23 fiscal year was a period of restructuring the City’s investments so that there are more options in safe investment vehicles, which city staff is confident will result in larger returns in the future.

Subject: Dinuba Housing Element Update (KSch)

RECOMMENDATION
Council to receive information on the status of the Dinuba Housing Element update.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is an informational overview of the ongoing preparation of the Dinuba Housing Element. The Housing Element is a component of the City's General Plan that analyzes conditions and then establishes action plans for the housing needs of the City over the next 8 years.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES
None.

DISCUSSION
The City of Dinuba is currently participating with six other cities in Tulare County to prepare the “Multi-Jurisdictional Housing Element”, and this report provides an informational update on the process.

The Housing Element is one of 8 mandatory elements of the General Plan. The Housing Element focuses on existing and projected housing conditions and establishes action plans to accommodate housing needs of the community over an eight-year period.

The Housing Element is unique among General Plan elements in that it must be updated every 8 years and also must be approved and certified by the State.

Dinuba’s current Housing Element was adopted in 2015.The Housing Element update must be completed and submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development by December 31, 2023.

Due to the housing crisis currently facing California, the requirements and complexity of the Housing Element have increased significantly and for that reason the cities have grouped together to hire a consultant to prepare the update. This approach offers the advantages of saving funds (through economy of scale) and also communicating with the State collectively (an approach being adopted by many areas).

The Housing Element is a comprehensive document that focuses on a myriad of issues such as, but not limited, to review of the current Housing Element, analysis of existing and projected demographic conditions, housing growth, land available for housing, infrastructure, constraints to housing production and planning for special populations (i.e., female-head households, homeless, farm works, and large households). The Housing Element also establishes programs and actions plans to meet housing goals.

A central component of the Housing Element is the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) where the city is assigned a number of housing units (broken down by income group) that should be constructed between 2023 and 2031. This assignment is created by TCAG (Tulare County Association of Governments) based on data provided by the State. For the upcoming Housing Element, the RHNA assignment for Dinuba is displayed in Table 1, below:

Table 1: RHNA Housing Units for Dinuba (2023-2031)
Income Category Units
Very Low Income 387
Low Income 238
Moderate Income 268
Above-Moderate Income 695
Total 1,588
For the 2023-2031 planning period, City must demonstrate that it can accommodate 1,588 dwelling units for the four income categories. Part of the Housing Element process will be for the City to show that it has adequate undeveloped land zoned for various housing types, and also that it has adequate utilities (water, sewer and storm drain) to serve such development.

Public Involvement
State Housing Element law encourages public participation and so the consulting team will be soliciting input and opinion from the public through workshops and online surveys. Today’s information session is part of that effort.

Adoption
When the Draft Housing Element is complete it will be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption. Following that, the document will be sent to the State for review and certification. At that point it is always possible the State will ask for revisions. In that event, those revisions will be presented to the City Council for adoption.

Cities with an adopted and approved Housing Element are eligible to apply for and receive state grant funds, such as Community Development Block Grant Funds.

Schedule
The Housing Element must be adopted and submitted to the State HCD by December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City Council has previously agreed to fund preparation of the Housing Element
