After the coroner's findings are complete, the project applicant(s), an archaeologist, and the NAHC-designated Most Likely Descendantshall determine the ultimate treatment and disposition of the remains and take appropriate steps to ensure that additional humaninterments are not disturbed. The responsibilities for acting onnotification of a discovery of Native American human remains are identified in Section 5097.9 of the California Public Resources Code.Upon the discovery of Native American remains, the procedures above regarding involvement of the applicable county coroner, notification of the NAHC, and identification of an Most LikelyDescendant shall be followed. The project applicant(s) of all projectphases shall ensure that the immediate vicinity (according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards and practices) is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until consultation with the Most Likely Descendanl has taken place.

RECOMMENDATION/CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Move to deny the appeal by Igor Semenyuk of a Decision by the Historic District Commission Denying a Conditional Use Permit for the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium project (PN 19-182) located atl20l Forrest Street.

BACKGROUND
The Lakeside Memorial Lawn located at I20l Forrest Street has been in operation since the lgth century and represents a combination of several old Folsom cemeteries, including the Masonic, Odd Fellows, Jewish, Citizen's, and Cook's cemeteries. It is adjacent to the Chung Wah cemetery to the south, dredge mining tailings to the east, the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area and American River to the west and the PreservelLake Natoma Shores subdivision to the north.

The Lakeside Cemetery (including the Odd Fellows and Mason's Cemeteries) and the adjacent Chung Wah Cemetery and mining tailings all appear on the City of Folsom's Cultural Resources Inventory list and the Lakeside Memorial Lawn and Chung Wah cemeteries were both designated as "historic" by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors and Cemetery Advisory Commission. The Chung Wah Cemetery is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

The Planning Commission approved a Use Permit and Variance for Mausoleums at Lakeside Memorial Lawn in 1991 (PC9l-042). An amendment to the approval was granted in 1995 (PC95-033). That approval allowed for the construction of twelve mausoleums. To date, two mausoleums have been built.
1n2002, Lorin Claney applied for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a crematorium at the Lakeside Memorial Lawn (PN 02-253). Staff prepared a Draft Initial StudyAvlitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project and routed it for public review. Staff received several comments from the public and from the Sacramento County Cemetery Advisory Commission recommending denial of the project.

While no formal air quality or cultural resources studies were done as part ofthe 2002 IS/MND, staff prepared a staff report for the Historic District Commission recommending denial of the project in 2003 on the grounds that the letter from the Cemetery Advisory Commission stated that the crematorium would have a negative impact on the historical character of the existing cemetery and historical use of the area. The staff report stated that, based on the Cemetery Advisory Commission letter, the conglomeration of historic cemeteries, combined with the tailings, create a rare combination of unique cultural resources that will be impacted by the proposal, that acrematorium is not a use consistent with a historic cemetery, and that approval of a CUP for a contemporary use such as a crematorium would jeopardize the eligibility status of the site as an historic cemetery by the County. Because the staff report recommended denial, the CEQA analysis was not included in the staff report since CEQA does not apply to projects which a public agency rejects or disapproves.

Prior to the scheduled public hearing, the applicant withdrew the application based on costs associated with preparing additional environmental analysis for air quality and cultural resources studies. The Historic District Commission did not review or consider the project proposed in2003, including the CUP application or the associated IS/MND.

An existing maintenance building, approximately 1,071 square feet in area (where the crematorium is proposed), is located along the south border of the cemetery. The design review application for a second 1,600-square-foot maintenance shed was approved by the Historic District Commissionin2l2} (PN 20-160) and the shed was subsequently constructed.

On May 16,2019, the applicant (Igor Semenyuk) submitted a development application for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for operation of a crematorium inside the Miller Funeral Home located at 507 Scott Street. In coordinating with the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD), the applicant determined that a crematorium at this location would not be feasible. The applicant then proposed to perform alkaline hydrolysis (liquid cremations) at this location that would not employ any burning or produce emissions but instead would produce a liquid effluent that would be flushed down sewage pipes. While this method of cremation was approved in California in 2017 , City Environmental and Water 2Page 468
05/10/2022 Item No.18.

Resources stafi in coordination with the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District, did not have enough local examples of the impacts of these effluents to support this proposal. The applicant subsequently proposed to locate the crematorium in the Lakeside Memorial Lawn in the same metal structure in which it was proposed in2003.

The proposed project includes the installation of one HCT Apex-250 crematory (manufactured by Hartwick Combustion) within an existing metal structure. The roof of the structure would be cut open to accommodate this device, but the structure's footprint would not be expanded.

In addition, a l0-foot-wide by l5-foot-wide walk-in cooler would be installed inside the structure to provide temporary, short-term storage of human remains prior to cremation. Two 25O-gallon propane tanks would be installed on a concrete pad along the northern side of the structure to provide power for the crematorium, as no gas lines currently exist on the property.

The concrete pad covers approximately 38.3 square feet of ground. An exhaust stack would be installed on the roof of the metal structure approximately 19.5 feet from finished grade. The applicant proposes up to four cremations per day and expects that the total will not exceed 500 cremations per year. Average cremation time is approximately 90 minutes. One to two employees would be present to operate the crematorium during the cremation process. Existing parking spaces would be utilized to accommodate employees and visitors.

If the CUP is approved, the project is also required to obtain an authority to construct permit to operate (NC, PTO) from SMAQMD before the crematory can be installed and operated. As part ofthat process, the applicant would be required to provide analysis to ensure the crematory will meet all air district rules/regulations and significance thresholds during the air district's A/C, PTO application and review process. In the event the air district's refined health risk assessment analysis shows that cancer risk or hazard index numbers exceed the significance thresholds noted, further restrictions to the crematorium would be required by SMAQMD before they would issue the A/C, PTO. All crematoriums in Sacramento County are also subject to regular inspections by SMAQMD, which investigates all public complaints about the facilities and fines all facilities for any violations.

Based on the potential for the project to impact nearby residences and cultural resources, staff had an environmental study, called an Initial Study (IS), prepared. Staff retained HELIX Environmental Planning, Inc. to prepare the study, including a full Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment. HELIX also hired ECORP Consulting to prepare a Cultural Resources Inventory Report that informed the environmental conclusions regarding cultural and tribal resources. As a result of the Initial Study, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (lvIND) was prepared by HELIX and that environmental document found that all environmental impacts related to the project would be less than significant with mitigation. The IS/MND is included as an appendix within Attachment 2 of this staff report.

After the IS/MND had been made public, staff prepared a staff report recommending approval of the proposed CUP and IS/MND to the Historic District Commission (provided in Attachment 2).ln the staff report, staff noted that with the rigorous analysis of air quality and J Page 469
05/10/2022 Item No.18.
cultural resources provided in the new IS/MND, staff determined that the project would not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare ofpersons residing or working in the neighborhood or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city, as the proposed project would not have negative impacts to nearby commercial or residential uses that have not been mitigated.

Notice of the IS/MND publication and the public hearing in front of the Historic District Commission were placed in the Sacramento Bee and mailed to property owners within 300 feet ofthe subject property.

During the life of the project application, staff received directly or was forwarded over 120 unique public comments regarding the project and/or the environmental document, the vast majority of which expressed concerns about the project and the environmental document. Also submitted to staff were an online petition with over 160 signatures, a hand-signed petition with almost 500 signatures, and over 300 signed form letters all expressing opposition to the proposed project. Staff included these letters and petitions as part of the staff report and made them available to the public, the Historic District Commissioners, and the applicant. Staff also summarized each of the unique points made in the public comments in the staff report and HELIX provided a response letter to the general points that were made in several of the letters regarding environmental issues addressed in the IS/MND. All of the comment letters were provided to the Historic District Commission for their consideration (included as part of Attachment 2 to this staff report) at the February 16,2022 meeting. Comments received after the publication of the staff report are included in Attachment 3 of this staff report.

The individuals who were opposed to the proposed project voiced concems regarding a number of topics including the following:
o Concerns regarding air quality emissions and the data used in the Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment;
o Concerns regarding traffic, circulation and parking;
o Concerns regarding wildfire and life safety in case of fire caused by the crematorium; o Cultural and archaeological concerns regarding the impact of the crematory machine on nearby cultural resources and burial sites
o Concerns regarding the appropriateness of the land use (a crematorium) in the Historic District;
o Aesthetic concerns regarding the height and design of the stack and impacts to views from nearby cultural resources and residences;
o Whether members of the public could be present at cremations; o Differences in the conclusions of the 2003 and2022 slaff reports for the crematorium; o Concerns regarding the potential decrease in property values ofnearby residences due to the presence of the crematorium; and
o Psychological effects of nearby residences being located near acrematorium. 4

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

After publication of the staff report, staff received six additional public comment letters that were added to the record. Included in those comments were two letters from individuals belonging to the Sacramento County Cemetery Advisory Commission. The Chair of the Cemetery Advisory Commission reiterated the points that were made by the group in 2003, stating that construction of a crematorium would be inappropriate near the sunounding cultural resources of historic importance. The Chair also provided evidence thatthe Lakeside Cemetery and Chung Wah Cemetery were listed for historical designation by the County. Another member of the Cemetery Advisory Commission wrote a letter stating that the proposed crematorium could threaten the nomination of the Young Wo Cemetery and that construction of the crematorium could adversely affect the historic features and burials of those buried nearby. HELIX provided a topical response to these comments prior to the hearing. This memorandum has been included in Attachment 4 of this staff report.

The Historic District Commission reviewed the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium project at its February 16,2022 meeling. At this meeting, 36 individuals (mostly residents of the PreservelLake Natoma Shores subdivision and the surrounding neighborhoods of the Historic District, as well as a representative from the Sacramento County Funeral Commission) voiced concems about and asked for denial of the proposed project, siting many of the same reasons expressed in the previously submitted letters. Following extensive public comment, the Historic District Commission engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the proposed project on primary topics related to air quality, fte hazards, aesthetics, cultural resources, property values and required CUP findings.

With respect to air quality, the Historic District Commission discussed the preliminary Health Risk Assessment performed for the IS/MND and spoke with a representative from SMAQMD about the air district's permitting and enforcement process. It was reiterated that Best Available Control Technologies (BACTs) would be required for the cremation machine which would limit air pollution. Regarding complaints, the SMAQMD explained that they typically respond within 24 hours and visit both the complainant and the potential sources of the complaint.

Notices of violation and fines may be levied under the air district's authority to enforce public nuisance provisions and facilities with persistent violations or nuisances are subject to permit revocation. SMAQMD Staff also noted that persistent complaints that result in such actions may result in revocation of the CUP.

With regards to an increase in potential cancer rates due to the crematorium, HELIX staff began the discussion by noting that there is a risk of potentially developing cancer inherent in breathing the air around us. In the state of California, thal baseline risk is approximately 800 cases per I million people. When analyzing whether a proposed project has the potential to increase that baseline risk due to the project's impact on air quality, an increase in 10 cancer cases per million people would be considered significant. Based on modeling and its analysis, HELIX determined that this project has the potential to increase the baseline risk of potentially 5

Page 471 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.
developing cancer by 0.5 cases per million people. This analysis assumes that someone would remain at the maximum point of exposure consecutively for 30 years. HELIX staff also explained that this analysis does not mean that anyone will necessarily develop cancer; the focus is on the potential risk that it will happen. For CEQA pu{poses, a potential increase of

0.5 cases per million people is not considered significant' Ultimately, a majority of the Historic District Commissioners expressed confidence in the air quality analysis in the IS/MND and SMAQMD process.

With respect to fire hazards, one or more Historic District Commissioners asked about the potential ftehazards of the proposed propane tanks. Folsom Fire Chief Ken Cusano clarified that the commercial-grade tanks require an operation permit from the Fire Department and are designed to vent. Chief Cusano was also asked about public concern regarding the adequacy of existing evacuation routes in case of fire. Chief Cusano stated that since the crematorium posed no significant fire danger to the area as conditioned, there would be no significant impact to evacuation routes. Chief Cusano also stated that the Fire Department can open the opposite end of Forrest Street if needed and that potential issues with Light Rail gates being in the down position on the evacuation route during an emergency event can be worked out by contacting Light Rail during an emergency to stop trains from coming to the area. During deliberation, individual Historic District Commissioners expressed confidence with regards to staffs analysis of fire hazard impacts.

With respect to aesthetics, individual Historic District Commissioners asked for clarification on the ultimate height of the stack and what kind of control SMAQMD has over the height.

Commissioners also questioned whether design review would be warranted for the proposed stack or whether they could provide design parameters as part of the CUP so that a separate design review would not be necessary. HELIX commented that the analysis done for the IS/MND assumed a height of 19.5 feet from finished grade based on specifications provided to them by the applicant. The SMAQMD representative noted that the Air District does not advocate for a specific height unless the height proposed by the applicant does not meet the district's air quality standards for nearby sensitive receptors.

With respect to cultural resources, individual Historic District Commissioners expressed concern that the project was not consistent with Historic District Design and Development Guidelines (DDGs) Policy 2.2, which states that "the City shall encourage National Register nomination of historic buildings as well as other historical designations by state or local agencies" given the Sacramento County Cemetery Advisory Commission's letters. Individual Commissioners also expressed concern that the proposed crematorium is not an historic use.

ECORP staff, who prepared the Cultural Resources Inventory Report, stated that many different cultures' funerary practices have occurred at Lakeside Memorial Lawn and that introducing a new practice (cremation) would not be the first time that a new funerary practice has been introduced on the project site. They also stated that while uemation is not a typical 6 Page 472
05/10/2022 Item No.18.
part of Chinese funerary practices, buming of possessions was common in such practices, and occurred in the Chung Wah cemetery until the 1960's.

ECORP stated that whether a crematory is an appropriate use on the project site is not an archeological question but if a crematory were to be located on the project site, the proposed location would be the most appropriate place for it since it is in a modern, previously disturbed maintenance area of the cemetery. Historic District Commissioners agreed that the appropriateness of the use is for the HDC to decide, but several commissioners stated that their cultural resources concerns had not been adequately addressed, especially since the Sacramento County Cemetery Advisory Commission stated that the crematorium would have a negative impact on the historical significance of the cemetery. Individual Historic District Commissioners stated that they wished that the Cemetery Advisory Commission would have provided more information regarding how specifically the crematory would have a negative impact but stated that the Cemetery Advisory Commission would have time to provide a greater level of detail before a City Council meeting, as it was assumed that their decision would be appealed by either the public or the applicant based on the level of project controversy. Staff has since reached out to the Cemetery Advisory Commission directly after the hearing for more information. The Cemetery Advisory Commission communicated to staff that they were able to meet regarding the proposed crematory prior to publication of the City Council staff report and that the comments they made in2002 still stand.

With respect to property values, individual Historic District Commissioners asked whether property owners would be required to provide disclosures that they live near a crematorium.

The Assistant City Attorney stated that they did not see anything specifically in their research of real estate laws that would necess'arily require that the presence of a crematory would have to be disclosed but recommended that anyone with concerns about real estate disclosures should consult a realtor or a real estate attorney. However, multiple Historic District Commissioners stated that they believe that the presence of a crematory would be detrimental to nearby residential property values and that realtors would take that into account when determining home listing prices.

Finally, with respect to the required CUP findings, individual Historic District Commissioners asked for clarification as to why the findings in the 2003 staff report differed from those in the 2022 staff report. One commissioner referenced that the 2003 staff report showed that the originally proposed crematorium was not consistent with the DDGs and questioned how the newly proposed project is different. Multiple commissioners brought up the high volume of public comments received from members of the surrounding community and wondered if the finding that the project would not be detrimental to the peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city could be met given the amount of opposition from the neighborhood and chances of property values going down due to the presence of a crematorium in the area. Staff clarified that the 2003 staff 7

Page 473 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.
report relied on an internally produced IS/MND with no technical studies performed by cultural resources experts, and without further information beyond the letter from the Cemetery Advisory Commission, denial was recommended. Staff recommended approval in the 2022 staff report in part because of the conclusions of the Ecorp Cultural Resources Inventory Report.

At the conclusion of the Historic District Commission meeting on February 16,2022, a motion was made to approve the proposed CUP and ISi\4ND with additional conditions added to install a weather station on the structure on which the crematory would be located to collect wind data for potential smoke and odor complaints and for the stack to be subject to design review by the Historic District Commission subsequent to obtaining a permit from the SMAQMD. That motion was seconded but failed by a vote of 1-6. A second motion was then made to deny the CUP using the same finding that was made in the 2003 staff report that stated that the use is detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, and detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood and the general welfare of the city because introduction of this use will impact the historical character of the existing cemetery and historical use of the area. This motion was seconded and passed with a vote of 6-1.

Since the Historic District Commission hearing, and in response to the timely appeal, staff received additional comments from the public and the Cemetery Advisory Commission for consideration during the appeal. All such comments oppose the project and recommend denial of the appeal. These letters are included in Attachment 6 of this staff report.

The City Council considered the appeal at the April26,2022 meeting. At that meeting, staff presented the project and appeal, the applicant presented his appeal, and the City Council opened the public hearing and heard public testimony from members of the public who were physically present at the meeting. The public hearing was then continued to this meeting in response to technical challenges to ensure that any interested persons intending to participate remotely would have an opportunity to provide comments prior to any action/decision by the City Council. Public comment letters that were received after publication of the April26,2022 staff report are included in AttachmentT and public comment letters received since the April 26,2022 hearing are included in Attachment 8.

POLICY / RULE
As set forth in Section 17 .52.7 00 ofthe Folsom Municipal Code, actions ofthe Historic District Commission may be appealed to the City Council. The appeal shall be in writing, shall state the specific reason for the appeal and grounds asserted for relief, and shall be filed no later than 10 calendar days after the date of the action being appealed. 8

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

APPEAL/ANALYSIS
On February 22, 2022, project applicant Igor Semenyuk submitted a timely appeal of the decision of the Historic District Commission denying the proposed project (Attachment l).

The applicantlappellant later submitted a supplemental letter providing additional reasoning for the appeal, also included in Attachment 1.

In his appeal and supplemental letter, Mr. Semenyuk makes the following claims

1. The findings for denial were that the project was detrimental to health and safety/general welfare of the neighborhood, and to property values in the neighborhood and city and that there would be impacts to the historical character of the cemetery and area. However, no data was provided by the Commission to support their findings for denial. Their denial was based on the residents' concerns rather than the data from the staff report and IS/MND.

2. Staff recommended approval of the crematorium and an IS/MND was prepared by multiple parties, including experts who were present at the hearing to defend their findings. The IS/MND showed that the project was well below CEQA thresholds of significance.

3. The crematorium would not impact the historical character of the cemetery since it is being placed inside a modern metal shed within a modern area of the cemetery.

4. There are existing regional cemeteries included on historical resources lists in which modern crematoriums currently operate.

5. The crematorium would not significantly impact property values of the neighborhood as property values are dictated by current market values in real estate.

6. There are no industrially zoned areas in Folsom that have a neighborhood more than 500 feet from the property, so alternative industrially-zoned locations would not result in fewer impacts to residences.

Citv Staff Resnonse
Reasoning Behind Commission Findings for Denial
In the finding for denial, the Historic District Commission stated that the introduction of the crematory use will impact the historical character of the existing cemetery and historical use of the area and would therefore be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood and the general welfare of the city. In their deliberations, the Commission cited the letters received from the Cemetery Advisory Commission which stated that the crematorium would be inappropriate near the surrounding cultural resources of historic 9

Page 475 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.
importance and could threaten the nomination of the Young Wo Cemetery and adversely affect the historic features and burials of those buried nearby. While the Historic District Commission discussed factors related to air quality, property values, and fire hazards,the finding they made was related specifically to the historical character of the cemetery and area, including the historical nature of the Young Wo Cemetery and the people who are buried there.

Staff s Recommendation for HDC Approval
As explained in the February 2022HDC staff report, the analysis in the IS/MND did result in a staff recommendation for HDC approval of the project. To approve the project, the Historic District Commission had to find that the project WOULD NOT be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the city. However, after considering the staff report, IS/MND, public comments and comments from the Cemetery Advisory Commission, the Historic District Commission determined that the project WOULD (as noted in the analysis above), be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood and the general welfare of the city due to the introduction of the crematory use impacting the historical character of the existing cemetery and historical use of the area.

Impacts to the Historical Character of the Cemetery
During the Historic District Commission's questions to staff and consultants, Lisa Westwood with Ecorp Consulting stated thatif acrematorium were to be placed on the cemetery grounds, the existing metal building within the modern maintenance areawould be the best location for a crematorium on the project site. Furtheffnore, the Cultural and Tribal Resources section of the IS/MND found that there would be a less than significant impact with standard mitigation related to the unanticipated discovery of archeological or paleontological resources during construction based on the analysis provided in Ecorp's Cultural Resources Inventory Report.

However, the letters sent by the Cemetery Advisory Commission stated that the crematorium would be inappropriate near the surrounding cultural resources of historic importance and could threaten the nomination of the Young Wo Cemetery and adversely affect the historic features and burials of those buried nearby. Ultimately, the Historic District Commission voted to deny the Conditional Use Permit because the Commission found that introduction of a crematorium would impact the historical character of the existing cemetery and historical use ofthe area.

Other Historic Cemeteries with Crematoriums
Staff coordinated with SMAQMD to identiff all crematoriums operating in Sacramento County. While there are five cemeteries in Sacramento County with operational crematoriums, staff did not identi$ any of these cemeteries as being on a cultural or historical resources list. l0

Page 476 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

Impacts to Property Values
Several members of the Preserve/Lake Natoma Shores community expressed concern that the crematorium would negatively impact the property values of their homes. While the Historic District Commission discussed potential impacts to property values, the finding for denial was based the introduction of the crematory use negatively impacting the historical character of the existing cemetery and historical use of the area.

Industrial Properties Adjacent to Residential Uses
Staff researched industrial properties located within the city in relation to their proximity to residential uses. Staff found that, of the properties within the city zoned M-l and M-2, four areas (Lake Forest Technical Center, Kikkoman property, 250 Outcropping Way, and 600 Coolidge Drive) have either buildings or vacant property located over 600 feet from residential uses, though none of the properties currently on the real estate market consist of a building in scale with the small shed in which the applicant is proposing to operate the crematorium.

FINDING FOR DENIAL
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that the appeal be denied based on the following finding:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDING
A. THE USE APPLIED FOR IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH, SAFETY, PEACE,

COMFORT, MORALS, OR GENERAL WELFARE OF PERSONS RESIDING OR

WORKING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND DETRIMENTAL OR INJURIOUS TO

PROPERTY AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE

GENERAL WELFARE OF THE CITY BECAUSE INTRODUCTION OF THIS USE WILL IMPACT THE HISTOzuCAL CHARACTER OF THE EXISTING CEMETERY AND HISTORICAL USE OF THE AREA.

CONCLUSION
Based on the information contained in this report and the Historic District Commission's denial of the Conditional Use Permit for the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium project (PN 19- 182) located at l20l Forrest Street, staff recommends denial of the appeal by Igor Semenyuk to overturn the Historic District Commission decision.

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

To: Folsom City Council
Reason for Appeal of Historic District Commissioners Meeting held 21L612022 ln the interest of the project called Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium the motion of the commissioners was denial, all but one- CommissionerJustin Raithel.

The Findings claimed for denialwas as follows:
- Detrimental to health and safety/ general welfare of neighborhood' - Detrimentalto property value in neighborhood and city. - lmpacts historical character of cemetery and area"
, The recommendatlon of the planning committee was approval of the crematorium' A full scope Environmental Report was done with multiple experts. Experts were present in the meeting to defend their findings. The findings and dala showed that the project was well below any thresholds of CA standards for health and safety. The crematorium would not impact any historical character of the cemetery as the project was being placed inside the modern metal shed in the modern area of the cemetery. lt does not significantly impact the property values of the neighborhood. That is dictated by current market values in real estate.
ln the meetin& a presentation was shown with funeral homes and cemeterles that are listed as historical cemeteries having and operating modern crematoriums in their facilities. All of the crematoriums shown are ctoser to residents, business and restaurants thdn the proposed crematorium at Lakeside Cemetery.

The data was not considered at all. Everything was drowned out by residents who just don't want it near their neighborhood. They want cremation services; they just want it done in other cities. There is no area in Folsom that is zoned industrlalthat does not have a neighborhood within 500 feet of it. Folsom is growing. Cremation demand is growing. A crematory is essential to the growing demand. lf you can't place a crematory in a cemetery, then where can you?
The denial was based on findings, yet when asked what those were, none could be provided. No data was provided to prove that it is detrimentalto the health and safety, that it is detrimentalto the property values and that it impacts any historical character. No matter what the experts data was, it was Just dismissed with prcjudice.

We implore you to reconsider the historic commission decision on the crematory. A city is larger than just one neighborhood.

Thank you,
lgor Semenyuk

DESCRIPTION/ANALYSIS

APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL
The applicant, lgor Semenyuk, is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit (PN 19-182) to operate a crematorium in an existing 1,071-square foot metal structure within the Lakeside Memorial Lawn cemetery located at 1201 Forrest Street. The proposed project includes the installation of one HCT Apex-250 crematory (manufactured by Hartwick Combustion) within an existing metal structure. The roof of the structure would be cut open to accommodate this device, but the structure's footprint would not be expanded. In addition, a 10-foot-wide by 1S-foot-wide walk-in coolerwould be installed inside the structure to provide temporary, short-term storage of human remains prior to cremation. Two 2S0-gallon propane tanks will be installed on a proposed concrete pad along the northern side of the structure to provide power for the crematorium, as no gas lines currently exist on the property. The concrete pad will cover approximately 38.3 square feet of ground. An exhaust stack will be installed on the roof of the metal structure (as shown in Attachment 6). The applicant proposes up to four cremations per day and expects that the totalwill not exceed 500 cremations per year. Ayerage cremation time is approximately 90 minutes. One to two employees would be present to operate the crematorium during the cremation process. Existing parking spaces would be utilized to accommodate employees and visitors. The Applicant's project description, which includes additional information related to the cremation process and other project-related details, is included as Attachment 9, Please refer to Attachment 5 for the proposed site plans and floor plan and Attachment 6 for the Hartwick Combustion Technologies Floor Plan, Outer Dimensions and Specifications.

POLICY/RULE
Section 17.52.550 of the Folsom Municipal Code (FMC) states that cemeteries are permitted in the Open Space/Public Primary Area of the Historic District with a conditional use permit ('CUP"). The Folsom Municipal Code does not address crematoriums as a land use.

Section 17.52.360 of the FMC states that the Historic District Commission (HDC) shall have final authority relating to the issuance of Conditional Use Permits for any of the uses or purposes for which such permits are required or permitted by the terms of this title, within the boundaries of the Historic District.

Use Permits are governed by Chapter 17.60 of the FMC. Section 17.60.040 states that the findings of the Commission shall be that the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will or will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of City of Folsom Page 3

ANALYSIS
General Plan and Zoninq Consistencv
The General Plan land use designation for the project site is OS (Open Space) and the zoning designation for the project site is OS/P (Open Space/Public Primary Area of the Historic District) with an underlying zoning of OSC (Open Space Conservation District).

The zoning designation is consistent with the General Plan designation.

Cemeteries are a permitted use within the OS/P Primary Area upon approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) per Section 17.52.550 of the FMC. The subject cemetery has been in operation since the 1800's and pre-dates the requirement for a CUP. The cemetery did receive a CUP for operation of a mausoleum in 1995. The proposed crematory would be operating as an accessory use to the existing cemetery, not as a stand-alone business.

Crematories are not specifically addressed in the Folsom Municipal Code. The Commission would then determine whether to approve the request for a CUP and impose appropriate conditions. lf not, then the proposed crematory would not be considered a permitted use, even with a CUP.

A primary or principal use is the main use to which premises are devoted and the primary purpose for which the premises exist. Primary uses may be permitted by right or may be conditional uses subject to a CUP. Accessory uses are structures or activities that are subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to the primary use; contribute to the comfort, convenience, or necessity of the principal use; and are located on the same lot and the same zoning district as the principal use. Home occupations are a typical example of an accessory use. By definition, an accessory use must be associated with a principal use and cannot be established on a property without a principal use. (Adam U. Lindgren & Steven T. Mattas, California Land Use Practice (2021) S 4.46, Primary and Accessory Uses.)
ln this case, the cemetery is the primary or principal use. The applicant proposes a crematorium aS an accessory use to the existing cemetery. As proposed, the crematorium would be subordinate in area, extent, and purpose to that of the existing cemetery. lt would provide a service related to and supportive of the service already provided by the cemetery and mausoleum. lt would be located on the same lot and in the same zoning district as the principal use. lt would be owned and operated by the same people who own and operate the existing cemetery and mausoleum.

As a part of the work to analyze whether a crematory is appropriate as an accessory use City of Folsom Page 4

to an existing cemetery, staff researched data available from the Sacramento Air Quality Management District regarding the locations of existing crematoriums within the county.

As described in more detail in the Land Use Compatibility/Site Considerations section of the report, staff found that 16 crematoriums are currently operating within Sacramento County, five of which are located within cemeteries (East Lawn Memorial Park, Sacramento Memorial Lawn, St. Mary Cemetery and Funeral Center, and Sunset Lawn Chapel of the Chimes in Sacramento, and Mount Vernon Memorial Park & Mortuary in Fair Oaks).

Public comment letters have stated that a crematory is not appropriate as an accessory use in this case for a variety of reasons. Upon review, staff reads the majority of those comments to raise concerns about the impacts of the proposed use. Many, if not most, of the impacts discussed in the public comment letters can be mitigated by imposing appropriate conditions on the project. For that reason, as well as the fact that the crematory is not proposed as a stand-alone business but as an accessory use to the existing cemetery, staff analyzed those comments through the lens of the CUP.

Based on the analysis described above, staff concluded that the crematorium, as proposed, is an appropriate accessory use to the existing cemetery.

Gonditional Use Permit
ln order to approve a request for a Conditional Use Permit, the Commission must find that the "establishment, maintenance, or operation of the use or building applied for will or will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use, or be detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the City" (FMC section

17.60.040).

In evaluating the Conditional Use Permit, staff considered the proposed use and its compatibility with existing land uses in the area, as well as air quality impacts, cultural resources impacts, fire/life safety impacts, traffic/access/circulation/parking impacts, noise impacts, and visual impacts. Each of these subject matters are discussed in detail below and are further discussed in the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium lnitial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (lSiMND) provided in Attachment 11.

Should the Commission grant the proposed Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium Conditional Use Permit, the CUP would be subject to ongoing review by the Community Development Department to ensure that it does not result in any adverse impacts to the community. Pursuant to FMC Section 17.60.050 ,
in any case where the conditions to the
granting of a use permit have not been, or are not, complied with, the Historic District Commission may revoke the permit after a public hearing on the matter. ln addition, if the Community Development Director finds evidence that conditions of approval for the City of Folsom Page 5

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

Historic District Commission
Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium Conditional Use Permit (PN 19-182) February 16,2022
Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematory business have not been fulfilled or that the use has resulted in a substantial adverse effect on the health, and/or general welfare of users of adjacent or proximate property, or have a substantial adverse impact on public facilities or services or the general welfare of the City, the Director will refer the use permit to the Historic District Commission for review. lf, upon such review, the Historic District Commission finds that any of the above-stated results have occurred, the Commission may modify or revoke the Conditional Use Permit following a hearing on the matter.

Condition No. 4 is included to reflect this requirement.

Air Quality
As part of the CEQA documentation for the proposed project, an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Assessment was prepared by HELIX Environmental Planning, lnc., and is included in Attachment 11. Two daily cremations were analyzed under the original environmental document, an lnitial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (lS/MND) and the applicant later asked that the analysis show impacts for four cremations per day. As a result, HELIX also prepared an Addendum to the Folsom Lakeside Crematorium Project Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment, included in Appendix B of the lS/MND, that provides additional analysis regarding the air quality and greenhouse gas emissions assessment based on additional daily cremations. This analysis was incorporated into the lS/MND as well.

As a part of its environmental review, HELIX analyzed whether the proposed project will have or will potentially have a significant adverse impact on the environment, either individually or cumulatively with other projects. With respect to air quality, HELIX used the standard Environmental lnitial Study Checklist to consider four main questions:
a. Would the project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
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? c. Would the project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
d. Would the project result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Ultimately, Helix determined that the proposed project would have no impact with respect to question b and would have a less than significant impact with respect to questions a, c, and d. The following sections provide an overview of the analysis related to sensitive receptors, criteria pollutants, toxic air contaminants and odors as they relate to both construction and operation of the proposed project.

Sensitive Rece
ln general, some land uses are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others due to the types of population groups or activities involved and are referred to as sensitive receptors. Examples of these sensitive receptors are residences, schools, hospitals, and daycare centers.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) have identified the following groups of individuals as the most likely to be affected by air pollution: people over 65 years old, children under 14 years old, infants (including in utero in the third trimester of pregnancy), and persons with cardiovascular and chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis.

Residential areas are considered sensitive receptors to air pollution because residents (including children and people over 65) tend to be at home for extended periods of time, resulting in sustained exposure to any pollutants present. Children and infants are considered more susceptible to health effects of air pollution due to their immature immune systems, developing organs, and higher breathing rates. As such, schools are also considered sensitive receptors, as children are present for extended durations and engage in regular outdoor activities,
The closest existing sensitive receptors to the project site are multiple single-family residences adjacent to the cemetery to the north, between 450 and 750 feet from the proposed crematory location, and mobile homes across Folsom Boulevard to the east, approximately 700 feet from the proposed crematory location. The closest schools to the project site are the Folsom Montessori School approximately 3,200 feet (0.6 miles) to the northeast and the Golden Valley Charter River School. That school is located across Lake Natoma from the project site and, though it is approximately 2.7 miles away by car, its physical location is about 3,000 feet (ust over one-half mile) northwest of the project site.

The nearest daycare is located 1,800 feet (0.3 miles) from the project site and the nearest hospital is located over 9,000 feet (1.8 miles) from the project site Criteria Pollutants
Ambient air quality is described in terms of compliance with state and national standards, and the levels of air pollutant concentrations considered safe, to protect the public health and welfare. These standards are designed to protect people most sensitive to respiratory distress, such as asthmatics, the eldedy, very young children, people already weakened by other disease or illness, and persons engaged in strenuous work or exercise. The U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the federal agency that administrates the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended in 1990, has established national ambient air quality standards (NAAOS) for several air pollution constituents known as criteria pollutants, including: ozone (Oe); carbon monoxide (CO); coarse particulate matter (PMro; particles 10 microns or less) and fine particulate matter (PMz.s; particles 2.5 microns or less); sulfur dioxide (SOz); and lead (Pb).

Historic District Commission
Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium Conditional Use Permit (PN 19-182) February 16,2022
As permitted by the Clean Air Act, California has adopted the more stringent California ambient air quality standards (CAAOS) and expanded the number of regulated air constituents. Ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the environment but is generated from complex chemical and photochemical reactions between precursor pollutants, primarily reactive organic gases (ROGs; also known as volatile organic compounds [VOC]), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). PMro and PMz.s are generated from a variety of sources, including road dust, diesel exhaust, fuel combustion, tire and brake wear, construction operations and windblown dust. ln addition, PMro and PMz.s can also be formed through chemical and photochemical reactions of precursor pollutants in the atmosphere.

CARB is required to designate areas of the state as attainment, nonattainment, or unclassified for the ambient air quality standards. An "attainment" designation for an area signifies that pollutant concentrations do not violate the standard for that pollutant in that area. A "nonattainment" designation indicates that a pollutant concentration violated the standard at least once. An "unclassified" designation indicates that insutficient data was available to determine the status. Sacramento County is designated as being in nonattainment for the state and federal ozone standards, the state PMro standards, and the federal PMz.s standards.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) is responsible for implementing emissions standards and other requirements of federal and state laws in Sacramento County. Attainment plans for meeting the federal air quality standards are incorporated into the State lmplementation Plan (SlP), which is subsequently submitted to the USEPA.

The current air quality plan applicable to the project, the Sacramento Regional 2008 NAAQS 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress P/an (Regional Ozone Plan), was developed by the SMAQMD and adjacent air districts to describe how the air districts in and near the Sacramento metropolitan area will continue the progress toward attaining state and national ozone air quality standards With respect to criteria pollutants, HELIX looked at whether the proposed project would conflict with or obstruct implementation of the Regional Ozone Plan or the SlP, either during construction or operation of the proposed project. HELIX also analyzed whether the proposed project would result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the region is in non-attainment under applicable California Ambient Air Quality Standards. Highlights from that analysis are included in the following paragraphs. The full analysis is contained in Attachment 11. Furthermore, Condition No. 16, requires compliance with the Regional Ozone Plan.

Construction (Short-Term) Em issions
Construction of the project would involve the use of a crane for several hours to unload the chiller and crematory from the truck, and the use of a mini excavator or skid steer loader for one day and one truck load of concrete to install a small pad for the two propane City of Folsom Page 8

tanks.

Typically, projects that are 35 acres or less in size will not exceed the SMAQMD's construction NOx or PM thresholds of significance. Even so, all construction projects are required to implement the SMAQMD's Basic Construction Emission Control Practices (also known as Best Management Practices [BMPs]). The BMPs satisfy the requirements of SMAQMD's Rule 4O3, Fugitive Dust, which requires every reasonable precaution not to cause or allow the emissions of fugitive dust from being airborne beyond the property line from which the emission originates.

Reactive Organic Gas (ROG) emissions during construction are generally associated with the application of architectural coatings. The project does not propose any new structures, would not require substantial amounts of painting, and would not result in significant emissions of ROGs.
lf approved, the proposed project will be required to implement SMAQMD's BMPs and it will not result in significant emissions of ROGs. Therefore, construction of the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant and the proposed project's impact on implementation of the Regional Ozone Plan would be less than significant with implementation of Condition No. 16, which requires implementation of the SMAQMD's BMPs.

Operation (Lono-Term) Emissions
The project would result in long-term operational emissions from two sources: (1) vehicles that drive to and from the project and (2) from operation of the crematory.

With respect to emissions from vehicles, because there are no crematories currently operating in Folsom, demand for cremation services is filled by transporting the deceased to facilities outside of the City. Therefore, operations of the projectwould not result in new vehicle trips (nor the associated emissions in the region). lnstead, the project would replace existing regional vehicle trips with shorter trips (and reduced associated emissions).

Operation of a propane-fired crematory would be considered a new stationary source of emissions. The project is subject to SMAQMD's Rule 2O1, General Permit Requirements, and Rule 2O2, New Source Review. Pursuant to these Rules, the project would be required to implement best available control technology (BACT) for the minimization of emissions.

BACT for crematories is incorporated into the product design in the form of controls which ensure maintenance of the correct temperatures and cycle times, and a secondary combustion chamber which ensures oxygenation and complete combustions of all fuels.

As shown in Table 4 of the IS/MND included in Attachment 11 and Table 1 of the Air Quality Addendum memo included in Appendix B of the lS/MND, the project's operational City of Folsom Page 9

Page 491 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

Historic District Comm ission
Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium Conditional Use Permit (PN 1 9-182) February 16,2022
emissions of criteria pollutants and precursors would not exceed the SMAQMD daily or annual thresholds. Therefore, the project's operational emissions would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant and impacts from operation of the crematory on implementation of the Regional Ozone Plan would be less than significant.

Toxic Air Contaminants
Toxic air contaminants (TACs) are a diverse group of air pollutants that may cause or contribute to an increase in deaths or in serious illness or that may pose a present or potential hazard to human health. TACs can cause longterm chronic health effects such as cancer, birth defects, neurological damage, asthma, bronchitis, or genetic damage, or shortterm acute etfects such as eye watering, respiratory irritation (a cough), runny nose, throat pain, and headaches. TACs are considered either carcinogenic or noncarcinogenic based on the nature of the health effects associated with exposure to the pollutant. For carcinogenic TACs, there is no level of exposure that is cortsidered safe and impacts are evaluated in terms of overall relative risk expressed as excess cancer cases per one million exposed individuals. Noncarcinogenic TACs differ in that there is generally assumed to be a safe levelof exposure belowwhich no negative health impact is believed to occur. These levels are determined on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis.

Crematories are a potential source of TACs as a result of trace metals and organic compounds that accumulate in the body throughout a person's life and are released during combustion of human remains, and as a result of trace organic compounds that are formed in the combustion process. These TACs include: metals and inorganics (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, hydrogen fluoride, lead, mercury, nickel, selenium, zinc); VOCs (i.e., benzene, toluene, xylenes, vinyl chloride); aldehydes (i.e., acetaldehyde, formaldehyde); polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (dioxins; PCDD); and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (furans; PCD).

Prolonged exposure to significant concentrations of these TACS can result in a variety of adverse health effects including cancers, chronic conditions, and/or acute conditions, depending on the substance and level of exposure. Based on the results of the Health Risk Assessment (HRA) included in Attachment 11, hexavalent chromium and mercury are the primary drivers of the health risks from crematory emissions because the health risks from crematory emissions of these substances are one or more orders of magnitude greater than the health risks from other TACs in crematory emissions.

Health risks associated with cancer from development projects are estimated using the incremental excess cancer risk expressed as cancer cases per one million exposed individuals. The incremental excess cancer risk is an estimate of the chance a person exposed to specific sources of a TACs may have of developing cancer from that exposure beyond the individual's risk of developing cancer from existing background levels of pollutants in the ambient air. For context, the average cancer risk from TACs in the ambient air for an individual living in an urban area of California is 830 in 1 million. Cancer risk estimates do not mean, and should not be interpreted to mean, that a person will develop cancer from estimated exposures to toxic air pollutants.

The maximum estimated community incrementalexcess cancer, chronic and acute health risks due to exposure to the project TAC emissions from long term operation of the proposed crematory are presented in Table 5 of the attached IS/MND. These estimates are conservative (health protective) and assume that the resident or worker is outdoors for the entire exposure period. This table shows that the maximum incremental increased cancer risks and maximum non-cancer chronic and acute hazard index due to exposure to TACs from long-term operation of the proposed crematory would not exceed the SMAQMD thresholds. Therefore, operation of the project would not result in the exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial TAC concentrations and the impact would be less than significant.

The Addendum to the lS/MND clarifies that regardless of whether the applicant performs two or four cremations daily, the Health Risk Assessment remains accurate, as it was based on the maximum hourly emissions rate and the average annual emissions generated by project operations, not the number of cremations performed daily. The hourly cremation rate would not change because there is only one cremation machine proposed as a part of this project. The annual emissions generated by the project also would not change with an increase from two to four cremations per day because the applicant has not requested modification to their request for up to 500 cremations per year. To ensure that the numbers in the HRA remain accurate, staff has added Condition No. 13 stating that no more than four cremations may be performed each and that no more than 500 cremations may be performed each year.
ln addition, the proposed crematory is considered a combustion source requiring an authority to construct permit to operate (A/C, PTO) from SMAQMD before it can be installed and operated. Staff has provided Condition No. 16, which statesthata building permit will not be issued until an A/C, PTO has been obtained from SMAQMD. SMAQMD has stated that the applicant will be required to provide analysis to ensure the crematory will meet all air district rules/regulations and significance thresholds during the air district's A/C, PTO application and review process. ln the event the air district's refined health risk assessment analysis shows that cancer risk or hazard index numbers exceed the significance thresholds noted, further restrictions to the crematorium would be required by SMAQMD before they would issue the A/C, PTO. As noted above, Condition No. 16 requires the proposed project to obtain and A,/C, PTO from the air district before the City will issue a building permit, so neither construction nor operation of the proposed project can occur without the A/C, PTO.

Odors
The IS/MND prepared for the proposed project found that diesel equipment could generate diesel exhaust odors during construction activities. The generation of odors during the construction period would be temporary, intermittent, and dispersed within a short distance from the active work area. Once operational, potential odors from human remains prior to cremation would be minimized either by immediately processing remains City of Folsom Page 1 1

or by temporarily storing remains in the proposed refrigeration chiller. Operation of the crematory would not be a significant source odors or other emissions due to the BACT features of the crematory, including process temperature and cycle time controls, as well as secondary combustion chambers which ensure the complete combustion of all solids, liquids, and gaseous fuels. Therefore, the project would not result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors).

Cultural, Archaeological, Paleontological and Historical/Tribal Resources Lakeside Memorial Lawn cemetery is Folsom's only active historic cemetery, lt represents a combination of several old Folsom cemeteries, including the Masonic, Odd Fellows, Jewish, Citizen's, and Cook's cemeteries,
The existing metal structure was built in the 1990s and is located in a previously disturbed maintenance area. The project area itself is surrounded on the west and south by dredge mining tailings and the parcel is situated along a perennial watetway. All mining operations in the immediate vicinity of the project site had ceased by 1962. Based on a Cultural Resources lnvestigation performed by PAR Environmental for the mausoleum project for Lakeside Memorial Lawn in 1995, these tailings were determined not eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places by the Office of Historic Preservation. The report also states that the tailings do not meet California Environmental Quality Act guidelines as an important resource and do not qualify for inclusion in the California Register of Historic Places.

ECORP Consulting prepared a Cultural Resources lnventory Report of the proposed project that included a record search, Native American tribal consultation and a pedestrian survey. The results of the ECORP record search for cultural resources and Native American Heritage Commission Sacred Lands File Coordination search failed to reveal the presence of Native American cultural resources in the project area.

ECORP's pedestrian survey revealed no precontact or historic resources. The project site itself is not in an area otherwise suspected to contain unknown archaeological resources.

The site survey and surveys of written records, historical maps and photographs, and outreach to groups with knowledge of the area's history all suggest that no known or previously unknown archaeological resources would be encountered or disturbed during construction. Ground disturbing activity would be limited to shallow ground clearing and site prep for the installation of a concrete pad to support two propane tanks. Still, the potential exists for inadvertent discovery of archaeological resources during project construction. The implementation of standard archaeological rgsource construction conditions (Condition 18-21) would ensure that potential impacts would be less than significant.

Though the project site is located on the property of the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Cemetery, no human remains are known to exist in the immediate vicinity of the project site. No evidence of potential human remains outside of marked graves was found in the project area during the cultural resources site survey by ECORP's archaeologist. Ground City of Folsom Page 12

disturbing activity would be limited to shallow ground clearing and site prep for the installation of a concrete pad to support two propane tanks. However, there is always the possibility that subsurface construction activities associated with the proposed project, specifically the preparation of the site for the small concrete pad, could potentially damage or destroy previously undiscovered human remains. However, if human remains were discovered, implementation of Condition No. 20 would reduce this potential impact to a less than significant level.

The ethnographic information reviewed for the project, including ethnographic maps, does not identify any villages, occupational areas, or resource procurement locations in or around the current project area. ln addition, the Sacred Lands File failed to identify any sacred lands or tribal resources in or near the project area. The cultural resources survey did not reveal any Native American archaeological sites within or adjacent to the proposed project area. As stated in the attached IS/MND document, the City performed AB-52 consultation with three local Native American tribes that have previously submitted general request letters. Wilton Rancheria, the lone Board of Miwok lndians and the United Auburn lndian Community. The purpose of consultation is to identify Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) that may be significantly impacted by the proposed project and to allow the City to avoid or mitigate significant impacts prior to project approval and implementation. No specific TCRs were identified on the project site as a result of this consultation. ln case of unanticipated discovery of tribal cultural resources, staff has incorporated Condition No. 21 (as described above). lmplementation of this condition would ensure that there would not be a significant impact on tribal cultural resources.

Fire/Life Safety
The proposed project proposes to locate two 25O-gallon propane tanks immediately adjacent to the existing metal structure in which the crematorium is proposed. Propane is considered a hazardous material in that is extremely flammable and may cause burns, irritations, and/or asphyxiation if humans come into direct contact with significant quantities of it. Federal and state laws include provisions for the safe handling of hazardous substances. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) administers requirements to ensure worker safety. Construction activity must also be in compliance with California OSHA regulations. Further, significant damage to the tanks, failure of safety mechanisms, and/or the presence of an ignition source may make the tanks an explosion hazard. However, the tanks would be secured in place on a concrete pad, marked conspicuously, and placed in an area at low risk of impact from any vehicle or piece of equipment. They would not be located in an area of the cemetery frequented by the public. All installation, maintenance, and operations would be done by trained individuals in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and state regulations. The tanks would be regularly inspected to ensure soundness and proper function. Delivery of propane and filling of the tanks would be done only by licensed professionals following all applicable regulations and best practices. Furthermore, the Folsom Fire Department has reviewed the proposed site plan and has provided Condition No. 26 which requires the propane tanks to be a minimum of 10 feet from the metal structure in which the cremations would occur.

Consistent with the City's Multi-Hazard Emergency Management Plan, the City of Folsom maintains pre-designated emergency evacuation routes along major streets and thoroughfares. The proposed project would not modify any pre-designated emergency evacuation route or preclude their continued use as an emergency evacuation route.

Emergency vehicle access would be maintained throughout the project site to meet the Fire Department standards for fire engine maneuvering, location of fire engine to fight a fire, rescue access to the units, and fire hose access to all sides of the building.

The project is not located in or near a State Responsibility Area or in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Vegetation on the property is irrigated and includes maintained lawns and well-spaced trees with a generally open canopy and limbs pruned near ground level. The project site is located in an urbanized area in the City of Folsom and is provided urban levels of fire protection by the City. Landscaping on the property is well-irrigated, well-spaced, trimmed, pruned, and generally maintained. To the north of the site is a residential neighborhood, to the east is gravel/rock cover and Folsom Boulevard, and to the south and west is a greenbelt that runs parallel to Lake Natoma on a north/south axis.

The natural spaces are small, with a relatively open and discontinuous canopy. The project is not likely to cause any ignition, given that the crematory will not emit sparks, and any ignition caused by other factors could be quickly controlled by the City of Folsom Fire Department and would not spread great distances given the land use and vegetation surrounding and occupying the site.

As an existing facility, Lakeside Memorial Lawn maintains adequate fire response infrastructure for both current operations and the proposed project. The City of Folsom Fire Department reviewed the project application and did not raise any concerns regarding the adequacy of water supply or site access. The Fire Department also provided Condition No. 24, which requires a fire alarm/detection system if sprinklers are not provided, Condition No. 25, which requires on-site fire hydrants and mains capable of supplying the water flow for fires and Condition No. 26, which requires that combustible materials, trash, weeds and brush are not stored or located within 10 feet of the propane tanks. Furthermore, Condition No. 27 states that a trained operator must be present at all times that the crematorium machine is in operation. Therefore, with these conditions, the proposed project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss due to wildland fires.

Traffic, Access, Circulation and Parking
The project site can be accessed from either northbound or southbound on Folsom Boulevard or from westbound Natoma Street approaching this intersection with Folsom Boulevard. The site would be accessed by proceeding a very short distance west on Forrest Street to reach the entry gate to the cemetery and turning left onto Mormon Street.

Diagonal parking spaces can be found along both sides of Mormon Street. At the terminus City of Folsom Page 14

Historic District Comm ission
Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium Conditional Use Permit (PN 19-182) February 16,2022
of Mormon Street, members of the public may continue straight onto a main cemetery access road to find an additional parking lot. All existing parking spaces would be maintained. Access to the project site directly would continue to be provided by a smaller existing access road located at the southwestern terminus of Mormon Street. Both the smaller access road and the main access road can be reached at the terminus of Mormon Street, but the two roads do not form a continuous loop because of a fence line separating them. No new parking spaces or parking facilities would be constructed.

As the crematorium would not be located in or near a funeral home and would be separate from any funeral services or public gatherings provided by the project applicant, access would only need to accommodate a small number of people at the site. There are a total of g2 parking spaces in the cemetery with room lor 23 additional parking spaces during large events. The applicant has seen an average of 12 to 15 visitors to the cemetery on an average day. The maximum number of visitors under the proposed project conditions would be during large funeral services at the site. However, the 921 parking spaces and overflow parking available on-site are designed accommodate such services.

The City of Folsom identifies most major streets in the City as emergency evacuation routes. The proposed project would not modify any major street and/or preclude their continued use as an emergency evacuation route. The project does not propose any alterations to any access roads, rights-of-way or other routes, and would not increase traffic to a point that additional risk on existing routes would be incurred. Emergency vehicle access would be maintained throughout the project site to meet the Fire Department standards for fire engine maneuvering, location of fire engine to fight a fire, rescue access, and fire hose access to all sides of the building.

Noise
Development of the crematory facility will temporarily increase noise levels in the project vicinity during the construction period. Construction activities, including site work and construction, would be considered an intermittent noise impact throughout the construction period of the project. The City's Noise Ordinance excludes construction activities from meeting the General Plan Noise Element standards, provided that all phases of construction are limited to the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m, on weekdays, and between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays. To ensure compliance with the City's Noise Control Ordinance and General Plan Noise Element, staff recommends that hours of construction operation be limited from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays with no construction permitted on Sundays or holidays. Condition No. 12 is included to reflect these requirements.

Visual lmpacts
The project site is currently a small cemetery, with associated landscaping, outbuildings, and access roads. Lands to the south and west contain woodland habitat typical of riparian communities in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Soils at the project site are comprised of dredge tailings and other fill material. Tailing piles between the site and Folsom Boulevard prevent the site from being visible from that street. To the west is also the City of Folsom Page 15

Jedidiah Smith Memorial Trail that runs along the eastern shore of Lake Natoma. To the north is a small residential neighborhood with single family dwellings (The Preserve/Lake Natoma Shores). Folsom Boulevard runs in a north/south line just east of the propedy.

East of Folsom Boulevard is a large, developed area containing single family homes, apartment complexes, a mobile home park, and some small businesses. The more regional setting is primarily characterized by residential development with a commercial shopping center to the east.

The projectwould be located in an existing metalstructure on the grounds of the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Cemetery. The structure would be modified with an exhaust stack added to the roof to accommodate the crematorium, but its footprint would not be expanded. The height of the stack is determined during the SMAQMD permitting process in order to meet their air quality standards. Based on initial consultation with SMAQMD, the stack would most likely be located approximately 19.5 feet above grade and would project up to 10 feet above the existing roof of the structure. The crematory would be placed in the northwest corner of the structure. Two 25O-gallon propane tanks would be installed on a proposed concrete pad along the northern side of the structure to provide power for the crematorium, as no gas lines currently exist. An existing wooden fence would shield these tanks from view from the publicly used areas of the cemetery.

Existing landscaping at the cemetery and around the metal structure consists of mature broad-leaved, coniferous, and palm trees. These trees also provide shade for much of the cemetery and many of the parking spaces. An irrigated lawn surrounds the existing cemetery plots and a smaller lawn surrounds the rear of the structure (i.e., the non-service entrance side). Native oak/gray pine woodland habitat exists surrounding the cemetery.

No new landscaping installation or modification is proposed. Native habitat in the vicinity of the project would not be disturbed.

An existing brick and wrought iron fence marks the edge of the cemetery from the Forrest Street side, but does not extend the length of Mormon Street. A wooden fence currently separates the front side of the metal structure (facing the access road) from the back side and extends both north and south of the structure. The fencing south of the structure further extends to block the access road and restrict access between the lawn to the west of the structure and the access road to the east of the structure. No changes to fencing are proposed as part of this action. The access side of the structure that would be used for crematory operations is shielded from view from the rest of the cemetery by wooden fencing. A gravel berm shields views of the structure from the east, including from Folsom Boulevard.

Neither the project site nor the surrounding areas are scenic vistas due to the presence of existing nearby commercial and residential developments. Further, neither the project site, nor views to or from the project site, have been designated as important scenic resources by the City of Folsom or any other public agency. Additionally, the site of proposed modifications is already largely shielded from public view and would remain so. lmages of the metal structure taken from the edge of the cemetery adjacent to the Lake City of Folsom Page 16

Natoma Shores/Preserve subdivision are provided in Attachment 10. All human remains are transported to or from the crematorium fully shielding the deceased from public view with fully shielded gurneys. The vehicles back up inside the structures' doors to unload the gurney, similar to what is done at the applicant's Miller Funeral Home on the corner of Scott Street and Natoma Street. Given that external modifications would be very minor and that the building is already mostly shielded from view, staff does not anticipate a significant visual impact.

Land Use Com patibility/Site Considerations
The project site consists of a small cemetery, with associated landscaping, outbuildings, and access roads. Lands to the south and west contain woodland habitat. Tailing piles between the site and Folsom Boulevard prevent the site from being visible from that street. To the west is also the Jedidiah Smith Memorial Trail, which is part of the American River Parkway. To the north of the project site is a residential neighborhood with singlefamily dwellings (Lake Natoma Shores/The Preserve). Folsom Boulevard runs in a north/south line just east of the property. East of Folsom Boulevard is a large, developed area containing single-family homes, apartment complexes, a mobile home park, and some small businesses. The more regionalsetting is primarily characterized by residential development with a commercial shopping center to the east.

Staff researched data available from the Sacramento Air Quality Management District regarding the locations of existing crematoriums within the county, their proximity to residential uses, complaints received by SMAQMD for these facilities, and actions taken against these facilities by SMAQMD. Staff found that 16 crematoriums are currently operating within Sacramento County, of which five were located within cemeteries (East Lawn Memorial Park, Sacramento Memorial Lawn, St. Mary Cemetery and Funeral Center, and Sunset Lawn Chapel of the Chimes in Sacramento and Mount Vernon Memorial Park & Mortuary in Fair Oaks). Nine of the crematoriums were within 1 ,100 feet of residential uses, as shown in the table on the following page. lmages of these facilities are provided in Attachm ent 12. Note that the closest residence to the proposed crematorium is 450 feet from the building.

All crematoriums in Sacramento County are subject to additional permitting and regular inspections by SMAQMD, who investigates all public complaints about the facilities and fines all facilities for any violations. Three of the facilities listed in the above table have been issued violations from SMAQMD, for a total of 17 violations. Of these violations, four were discharge related. The last discharge-related violation issued by SMAQMD at one of these facilities was in 2010. Five of the facilities listed above have been the subject of public complaints. SMAQMD has received a total of 26 public complaints regarding five of these facilities since 1992. Of these complaints, eight have been received since 2010, predominantly regarding odor and smoke. SMAQMD requires recordkeeping and reporting of all cremations and has the right to inspect cremation facilities at any time, The applicant has also stated that they currently operate two crematoriums in the region, the Lakeside ColonialChapel in Marysville and the Chapelof the Twin Cities in Yuba City, both directly adjacent to residential uses. Given that the proposed project is located 450 to 750 feet away from the nearest sensitive receptors (residences), this is consistent with the location of other crematoriums located in residential areas of Sacramento County as well as the regional crematoriums operated by the applicant.

Based on the analysis presented in the attached staff report and attached lS/MND, staff concluded that there would be a less than significant impact to surrounding land uses with regards to air quality, fire/life safety, traffic, noise and aesthetics. As conditioned, the City of Folsom Page 1 8

crematorium would be subject to stringent air quality permitting and monitoring from SMAQMD. The crematorium is also subject to an annual unannounced inspection from the California Cemetery and Funeral Board. Furthermore, staff has provided Condition No. 10 which states that any intensification or expansion of the crematorium will require a subsequent Conditional Use Permit by the Historic District Commission and Condition No. 13 which states that no expansion in number of cremations per day or per year beyond what has been conditioned shall be permitted without prior apprqval being obtained from the Historic District Commission through a Conditional Use Permit. Any increase in air quality or noise impacts beyond what is described in this report is subject to either permit revocation or modification by the commission' With these conditions in place, staff has concluded that the establishment, maintenance, and operation of the proposed use will be compatible with surrounding land uses and will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace, morals, comfort, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood or be detrimental or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood, or to the general welfare of the city.

Public Outreach. Noticinq and Comments
Staff routed the initialdevelopment application to relevant localand state agencies. Based on comments received, staff has coordinated with SMAQMD to appropriately condition the project and ensure that the applicant goes through the required SMAQMD permitting process. No other public agencies provided comments. The application was also routed to the Sacramento County Cemetery Advisory Commission, the California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau and the Cremation Association of Northern California. Staff received no comments from these organizations.

A public notice was placed in the Folsom Telegraph on January 6,2022, and notices were mailed to all property owners located within 300 feet of the project site and also to residents who filed written requests for notices, consistent with Government Code sections 65905, 65091, and 65094, as well as CEQA Guidelines sections 15072 and 15105. A public notice was also placed on the project site 30 days priorto the public hearing.

Staff received numerous public comments regarding the project in general and also the IS/MND prior to publication of this staff report. Most comments received were from residents of the Historic District (especially residents of the Lake Natoma Shores/Preserve subdivision) and the Chinese Historical Society of America in opposition to the project, with one letter from a resident expressing support for the project. Written comments received prior to publication of the staff report are included in Attachment 13.

Furthermore, the applicant held a phone meeting for nearby residents to listen to their concerns about the proposed project. lssues brought up in these comment letters and during the applicant meeting include:

project, staff concluded thatthe airquality impacts of the newly proposed crematorywould not result in the same impacts as the crematorium proposed in 2003. Furthermore, the Sacramento County Cemetery Commission that expressed concern overthe 2003 project did not comment on the current project as proposed.

Finally, staff has concluded that concerns regarding consistency with the General Plan Air Quality and Open Space Goals and Policies and the Historic District Design and Development Guidelines, concerns regarding Chinese and Gold Rush customs, and concerns over a drop in property values will be adequately alleviated by the filtering and burning technology of the proposed crematory machinery as well as the required SMAQMD permitting and monitoring, the shielding of the facility from public view, and the conditions imposed on the proposed project as a part of the Conditional Use Permit, as described in this staff report. Particularly significant to staffs analysis, as detailed above, are the following facts: (1) the crematorium would be subject to stringent air quality permitting and monitoring from SMAQMD; and (2) any impacts beyond those described in this report are not permitted and, if they occur, will subject the applicant to either permit revocation or modification by the Commission.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An lnitial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, and an associated Addendum, have been prepared for this project (Attachment 11). A detailed summary of the environmental analysis for this project is contained in other sections of this report, with a particular focus on Air Quality. A summary of the environmental analyses on the issues of cultural, archeological, paleontological, and historical/tribal resources; fire/life safety; traffic, access, circulation, and parking; noise; and visual impacts are also included above. Note that an addendum to the initial air quality analysis was also prepared, and has been included both in the final Air Quality section and Appendix B of the IS/MND.

A detailed description of the potential impacts is provided within the lnitial Study for this project, which is included as Attachment 11 to this report. As described above, the Mitigated Negative Declaration includes mitigation measures which, when implemented, will reduce the identified impacts to a less than significant level. These mitigation measures have been included as conditions of approval for this project. Staff points to Conditions 18 through 21 as particularly significant in this regard.

To date, several public comments were received during the Mitigated Negative Declaration public review period which started on January 7,2022 and ended on February 7,2022. Those public comments have been included in Attachment 13. HELIX Environmental will provide responses to those comments for the Public Hearing and on the City's website at the following link: https://www.folsom.ca.us/qovernment/communitvdeve loomenVpl an n i nq-servi ces/cu rrent-proiect-i nform ation City of Folsom Page 25

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission approved a Use Permit and Variance for Mausoleums at Lakeside Memorial Lawn in 1991 (PC91-042). An amendment to the approval was granted in 1995 (PC95-033). That approval allowed for the construction of twelve mausoleums. To date, two mausoleums have been built. ln 2002, Lorin Claney applied for a Conditional Use Permit for a crematorium at the Lakeside Memorial Lawn (PN 02- 258). Staff routed the project for public review and prepared a staff report recommending denial of the project in 2003, but the applicant withdrew the application before Historic District Commission review. An existing maintenance building (where the crematorium is proposed), approximately 1,071 square feet in area, is located along the south border of the cemetery. The design review for a second 1,600-square-foot maintenance shed was approved by the Historic District Commissionin2020 (PN 20-160) and was subsequently constructed. The site plan associated with this approval showing both structures is provided in Attachment 7.

The applicant for the crematorium proposed in this staff report initially proposed that it be located in the Miller Funeral Home located at 507 Scott Street. Staff expressed initial concern with the crematorium being located directly adjacent to residences. The applicant also coordinated with SMAQMD to determine what measures would need to be taken to locate the crematory adjacent to residences and ultimately decided not to move forward with that location. The applicant then proposed to modify the application for cremations at the Miller Funeral Home to instead perform alkaline hydrolysis (liquid cremations) that would not employ any burning or produce emissions but instead would produce a liquid effluent that would be flushed down sewage pipes. While this method of cremation was approved in California in 2O17, City Environmental and Water Resources staff, in coordination with the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District, did not have enough local examples of the impacts of these effluents to support this proposal. The applicant subsequently decided to move fonruard with a standard crematorium at the Lakeside Memorial Lawn. The proposed location in the existing metal structure is further away from sensitive receptors than the previous location at the Miller Funeral Home.

The front of the project site is mostly level with a slight to moderate downward slope towards the rear of the site. Lakeside Cemetery has a variety of mature deciduous and evergreen trees. The front of the cemetery, along Forrest Street, is bounded by a brick wall capped with wrought iron fencing. Photographs of the Lakeside Memorial Lawn are included here as Attachment 10. Both the Lakeside Cemetery (including the Odd Fellows and Mason's Cemeteries) and the adjacent Chung Wah Cemetery appear on the City of Folsom's Cultural Resources lnventory. The subject property is located in the Open Space/Public Primary Area of the Historic District, with an underlying zoning of OSC (Open Space and Conservation District).

LAKESIDE
N{EMORIAL LA\MN
Scooe of Work- lnstalling a Crematory
We are proposing to install a Hartwick Apex 250 Human Crematory at our existing shed in our cemetery Lakeside Memorial Lawn 120L Forrest St Folsom CA 95630. lntroduction
Lakeside MemorialLawn hasexisted since 1850. lt has been a large partof the historyof the cityof Folsom and remains to be a part of the future of the city of Folsom. lt is privately held and operated by family, who currently reside in Folsom and have a long heritage in Folsom. Lakeside Memorial Lawn alongside Miller Funeral Home have over 150 years in service to the community.

The Claney and Semenyuk family has a combined experience of 100 years in the funeral industry.

Residents of Folsom and active partners in the community, local ordinances and the Folsom Police Department in Every 15 Minutes Program. We also own Caring Service Group, which has 8 funeral homes from Clear Lake to Arroyo Grande. With four crematories in four separate cities. Coordinating with their respected cities and local air ordinances, Caring Service Group has been successful in operating and installing these crematories. They have been in operation for the last 10 years and have not received one complaint against their licensing as they continue to operate at full capacity. All four crematories are inside the funeral home buildings, which is an impressive feat on its own. These crematories have facilitated thousands of cremations and will continue to do so. This is to demonstrate the knowledge, professionalism and ethical practices we uphold when we install and operate crematories.

Point at lssue
There are several large cultural communities residing and moving into Folsom. Regretfully, we do not have the ability nor the capability to serve the Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist or other cremation-based cultures as they require an on-site crematory so that they may be able to exercise their funeral rights and customs. Currently, there is no crematory in the city of Folsom, so they must find these services outside their city.

Page 542 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

The increase in homes being built in the city of Folsom, including Folsom Ranch, we need to have an onsite crematory in order to facilitate it's increase in cremation service. Folsom tax paying residents are unable to choose cremation disposition to be performed locally.

California currently has a cremation rate of 66.7 percent and will increase to 80 percent by 2030. Since 2019 the city of Folsom has an estimated 450 deaths a year and rising as the population increases, That is an estimated 300 cremations needed to be performed every year, Our Prooosition
The crematory placement at Lakeside Memorial Lawn is a strategic placement, lt is removed from any residences, parks, or schools, lt is not in eyesight of any homes, business's or restaurants. lt will be inside the existing shed of Lakeside Memorial Lawn, surrounded by the rock piles of Folsom. As the only operationalcemetery in Folsom, it is governed by the California Funeral and Cemetery Bureau and crematories fall under its' jurisdiction in licensing and on-site inspections.

As the cemetery does not have a gas or sewer line, we will be installing two propane tanks to facilitate the energy needed for the machine. lt is a simple and cost-efficient option' Cremation Process
A small explanation of cremation and its process.

Once paperwork - death certificate and local disposition permit is filed, with the family's permission and consent, we can then proceed with cremation.

Through a very strict identification process, we take the remains of John Doe and place them in a cremation container. lt is identified again, weighed and recorded into the crematory log.

The machine or Cremator is started and heated up to a degree that the local air quality board decrees necessary for the area, prior to remains being placed into the main chamber. Usually ranges from L100- 1600 degrees Fahrenheit, A Cremator has two burners, a main burner which is directly over the middle of the main chamber and a back burner, which is in the back in the second chamber.

The function of the second chamber is to initially heat up the machine and to incinerate any particles that escape the main chamber during the cremation process. That way there is no smoke or residue that leaves the chamber.

The main burner is there to facilitate the cremation process. lt continues to heat up the main chamber and maintains a consistent temperature that allows the water in the subject to evaporate.

Once the Cremator reaches the set temperature, the cremation container is then rolled inside the main chamber. When the door opens, the main burner shuts off for safety reasons. That prevents any harm to the crematory operator and facility. The door is then shut and after a few minutes the main burner starts again and thus begins the cremation process.

Page 543 ends

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

This process isself-operatingand does not require anything else apart from time. The usual time cremation takes is an average of 2 hours for the combustion process to be complete. lt is a selfcontained and safe process from start to finish.

The side door is opened, and the remains are collected and placed to cool down. Once cool, they are processed through a processor and placed into a plastic bag that is identified and sealed. The bag is placed into an urn and sealed. The urn is identified with name, date of cremation and the crematories license number. All this information is logged into the crematory book that is overseen by the CA State Funeral and Cemetery Bureau.

Usual Safetv Concerns
ln the process of any errors or malfunction, there are safety features installed. ln the event of an operationalfailure, the gas is immediately and automaticallyshut off. There is a manual switch aswell.

There has never been a crematory blowing up in the history of cremation.

We buy our machines from a very reputable, if not the best in the cremation industry manufacturer called Hartwick Combustion Technologies. They are manufactured in California, are designed to use less fuel, have lower NOx emissions, is NFPA compliant, meets Air Quality standards and the components used are UL listed.

We have one of their machines located within out Lakeport funeral home and we have not had one issue or complaint. We trust in the safety and manufacturing of these machines and ourselves hold years of experience in the cremation industry with our own high safety standards.

Scope of Work
We are hoping to get a use permit from the city of Folsom to operate our very own Hartwick Apex 250 Human Crematory. To accomplish this, we will be working side by side with the city of Folsom, Sacramento Air Quality Board and the CA Funeral and Cemetery Bureau to meet all necessary standards, laws and regulations in order to complete said application and Use permit.

Once we are issued the Use Permit from the city of Folsom, we will go ahead and install the Cremator inside the existing shed at Lakeside Memorial Lawn.

We will have it lifted with a crane off the truck and rolled inside the shed. Once in the proper place, the stack will be installed, and the electrical/propane lines connected by its respected professionals. The CA Cemetery and Funeral Bureau will do a final inspection and they will issue a crematory license. At that point we will be operational, and the city of Folsom will have its first crematory.

We have done this process twice in two other cities and we look forward to doing this in the city we live in.

Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium
I.O INTRODUCTION
This lnitial Study (lS) addresses the proposed Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium project (proposed project) and whether it may cause significant effects on the environment. The lS also assesses whether any environmental impacts of the project are susceptible to substantial reduction or avoidance by project revision, imposition of conditions, or any other means [515152(bX2)] of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. lf such revisions, conditions, or other means are identified, they will be included as mitigation measures.

This lnitial Study relies on CEQA Guidelines Sections $15064 and 15064.4 in its determination of the significance of the environmental impacts. Per $15054, the finding as to whether a project may have one or more significant impacts shall be based on substantial evidence in the record, and that controversy alone, without substantial evidence of a significant impact, does not trigger the need for an Environmental lmpact Report (ElR).

2.O PROJECT BACKGROUND
The following project specific technical reports quantified analysis and or surveys were used in preparation of this lnitial Study and are incorporated by reference:

Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Analysis, prepared by HELIX Environmental Planning, lnc. (December 2O2O).

Addendum to the Folsom Lakeside Crematorium Project Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment, prepared by HELIX Environmental Planning, lnc. (November2o2tl.

Cultural Resources lnventory Report for the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Storage Shed Project, prepared by ECORP Consulting, lnc. (November2O2O).

Tribal Consultation Record for Compliance with Assembly Bill 52 and CEQA for the Lakeside Memorial Lawn Storage Shed Project, prepared by ECORP Consulting, lnc. (January 2O2Il.

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Projecl locolion
The proposed project would be constructed on an approximately 12-acre parcelsituated nearthe western boundary of the City of Folsom in Sacramento County, California. The project site is located west of the intersection of Forrest Street/Natoma Street along Folsom Boulevard within the existing Lakeside Memorial Lawn Cemetery. lt lies along the eastern shore of Lake Natoma. The crematorium would be constructed within an existing shed along the eastern boundary of the property, just west of the end of Mormon Street. The project site is identified as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 070-0260- 001. Refer to Figure 1 for the regional location and Figure 2f or an aerial view of the project site. All figures are included in Appendix A.

3.2 Projecl Setting qnd Surrounding lond Uses
The project site is currently a small cemetery, with associated landscaping, outbuildings, and access roads. Lands to the south and west contain woodland habitat typical of riparian communities in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Soils at the project site are comprised of dredge tailings and other fill material. a

Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium
Tailing piles between the site and Folsom Boulevard prevent the site from being visible from that street.

To the west is also the Jedidiah Smith Memorial Trail that runs along the eastern shore of Lake Natoma.

The trail, also known as the American River Bike Trail, connects Folsom Lake (north of the project site) to the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers in Downtown Sacramento. lt is a part of the American River Parkway that is operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. To the north of the project site is a small residential neighborhood with single-family dwellings. Folsom Boulevard runs in a north/south line just east of the property. East of Folsom Boulevard is a large, developed area containing single-family homes, apartment complexes, a mobile home park, and some small businesses. The more regional setting is primarily characterized by residential development with a commercial shopping center to the east.

The project site is generally flat, ranging from about 175 to 185 feet above mean sea level. There are no wetlands, streams, or jurisdictional features located on the project site.

3.3 Project Chorqclerislics
The project would be located in an existing metal shed on the grounds of the existing Lakeside Memorial Lawn Cemetery. The shed can be reached by following Mormon Street to its terminus, making a slight left turn, and continuing for approximately 100 feet down an access road. The proposed project includes the installation of one HCT Apex-250 crematory manufactured by Hartwick Combustion. The shed would be modified to accommodate this device, but the shed's footprint would not be expanded. The shed currently covers 1-,071square feet. Further, a 10 foot by 15-foot walk-in coolerwould be installed inside the shed to provide temporary, short-term storage of human remains prior to cremation. Two 250- gallon propane tanks would be installed on a proposed concrete pad along the northern side of the shed to provide power for the crematorium, as no gas lines currently exist on the property. The pad would cover approximately 38.3 square feet of ground. A small exhaust stack would be installed on the roof of the shed.

The applicant anticipates 1-4 cremations on business days (Monday through Friday) with the total number of cremations not exceeding 500 per year. Average cremation time is approximately 90 minutes. Refer to Figure 3 for the site design plan in Appendix A.

Porking qnd Circulqlion
Diagonal parking spaces can be found along both sides of Mormon Street. At the terminus of Mormon Street, members of the public may continue straight onto a main cemetery access road to find an additional parking lot. All existing parking spaces would be maintained. Access to the project site directly would continue to be provided by a smaller existing access road located at the southwestern terminus of Mormon Street. Both the smaller access road and the main access road can be reached at the terminus of Mormon Street, but the two roads do not form a continuous loop due to a fence line dividing them. No new parking spaces or facilities would be constructed.

05/10/2022 Item No.18.

Lakeside Memorial Lawn Crematorium
Emergency Vehicle Access
Emergency vehicle access would be maintained throughout the project site to meet the Fire Department standards for fire engine maneuvering, location of fire engine to fight a fire, rescue access to the units, and fire hose access to all sides of the building.

Utilities
The cemetery is currently serviced with potable water and irrigation water from the City of Folsom.

There is no need to seek a "will serve" letter as the City currently provides water and the crematory would not substantially increase flow demand. The City also provides solid waste collection and disposal services; the project is not expected to result in a significantly increased demand for solid waste removal.

As an existing facility, Lakeside Memorial Lawn maintains adequate fire response infrastructure for both current operations and the proposed project. The City Fire Department reviewed the project application and did not raise any concerns regarding the adequacy of water supply or site access.

The cemetery is currently served with an electricity supply from the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District (SMUD). Electrical connections already exist for the shed, and may be upgraded as needed as part of the proposed project. lnstallation and operation of the crematory would not result in a significant increase in demand for electricity on the project site.

The cemetery, including the shed, does not have an existing sewer line. This project would not require access to, or construction of, a sewer line. The two 25O-gallon propane tanks and a concrete pad for securing them would be constructed along the northern edge of the shed to provide power for the crematorium,
Stormwater flows on the site are retained and drained to Lake Natoma. There would be no change in the hydrologic regime of the project site due to the installation or operation of the proposed project. [ondscoping
Existing landscaping at the cemetery and around the shed consists of mature broad-leaved, coniferous, trees and palms. These trees and landscaping also provide shade for much of the cemetery and many of the parking spaces. An irrigated lawn surrounds the existing cemetery plots, and a smaller lawn surrounds the rear of the shed (i.e., the non-service entrance side). Native oak/gray pine woodland habitat surrounds the cemetery.

No new landscaping installation or modification is proposed. Native habitat in the vicinity of the project would not be disturbed. No built footprint would be expanded.

Fencing
An existing brick and wrought iron fence demarcate the boundary to the cemetery from the Forrest Street side, but does not extend the length of Mormon Street. A wooden fence currently separates the front side of the shed (facing the access road) from the back side and extends both north and south of the shed. The fencing south ofthe shed further extends to blockthe access road and restrict access between the lawn to the west of the shed and the access road to the east of the shed. 3

No grading of the site would be required.

3.4 City Regulqlion of Urbon Developmenl
Generql Plqn
The City of Folsom updated and adopted its current comprehensive General Plan in August 2018. The General Plan is a long-term planning document that guides growth and land development in the City. lt provides the foundation for establishing community goals and supporting policies, and directs appropriate land uses for all land parcels within the City. The project site is designated as Open Space (OS) in the City of Folsom General Plan. lt is also within the Historic District and within a Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) Transit Priority Area.

Zoning Ordinonce
Developed land uses in the City of Folsom are regulated specifically by the City's Zoning Code (Title 17 of the City's Municipal Code), in addition to the other adopted regulations and programs that apply to all proposed development within the City. ln more detailthan the General Plan, the Zoning Code regulates land uses on a parcel-by-parcel basis throughout the City. ln order to achieve this regulation, the City assigns each parcel within the City to a zoning district, such as a district for single-family homes.

Regulations for each district apply equally to all properties within the district.

The project site is currently within the Open Space/Public Primary Area of the Historic District (OS/P), with an underlying zoning of Open Space and Conservation (OSC). The applicant is seeking a Conditional Use Permit from the City to authorize their installation of a crematory'

3.5 Olher City Regulqlion of Urbon Developmenl
The City of Folsom further regulates urban development through standard construction conditions and through mitigation, building, and construction requirements set forth in the Folsom Municipal Code.

Required of all projects constructed throughout the City, compliance with the requirements of the City's standard conditions and the provisions of the Municipal Code avoids or reduces many potential environmental effects. City procedures to minimize negative environmental effects and disruptions include an analysis of existingfeatures, responsible agency and public inputtothe design process, engineering and design standards, and construction controls. The activities that mitigate typical environmental impacts to be implemented by the City during the project review, design, and construction phases are described in greater detail below.

Community Development Deporlmenl Slqndqrd Conslruclion Condilions The City's standard construction requirements are set forth in the City of Folsom, Community Development Standard Construction Specifications updated in February of 2020. A summary of these requirements is set forth below and incorporated by reference into the project description. Copies of these documents may be reviewed at the City of Folsom, Community Development Department, 50 East Natoma Street, Folsom, California 95630.
