If requested by Consultant, City may approve different scopes or minimum limits of insurance for particular subcontractors or subconsultants.

12. Indemnification.
a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall defend (with counsel of City’s choosing), indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees, volunteers, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses, liability, loss, damage or injury of any kind, in law or equity, to property or persons, including wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or omissions, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors, consultants or agents in connection with the performance of the Consultant’s services, the Project or this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all damages, expert witness fees and attorney’s fees and other related costs and expenses. Consultant's obligation to indemnify shall not be restricted to insurance proceeds, if any, received by Consultant, the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents, or volunteers.

This Agreement may also be subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements. Any stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor that affect Consultant’s performance of services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations against Consultant or any subcontractor.

14. Verification of Employment Eligibility.

By executing this Agreement, Consultant verifies that it fully complies with all requirements and restrictions of state and federal law respecting the employment of undocumented aliens, including, but not limited to, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, as may be amended from time to time, and shall require all subconsultants and sub-subconsultants to comply with the same.

Architectural Design Services for the
Forge Studios & Innovation Lab Project
RFP No. DE-24-160-SP
152
Please find enclosed with this letter, DSEA’s response to the City of Fontana Request for Proposal for Architectural Design Services for the Forge Studios Innovation Lab Project DE-24-160-SP. DSEA is a full-service architectural firm with 25 years of experience and was founded in 1999 with a commitment to serving public institutions while being involved with school buildings and community college campus work. We have evolved over the years and worked in the private sector collaborating and coordinating with private schools, care facilities and community centers and have developed a strong track record with upgrades to existing buildings. DSEA also has been involved with historic preservation and through this we have decades of experience in adapting existing buildings to new uses while preserving character and enhancing existing site context.

We attended the non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and
toured the existing building and understand this to be a significant project that will spark further development in the immediate vicinity to fulfill the vision of the Downtown Area Plan. We have therefore formed a strong team including Martinez Marin Architecture (MMA), another architectural firm as a consultant who recently completed historic renovations to the Nelles Commissary Community Center in Whittier. In addition, our consulting engineering firm, Design West Engineering, is an Inland Empire firm who will be providing engineering disciplines including electrical, mechanical, plumbing and lighting/AV.

Our Structural Engineer, Peoples Associates, has experience in similar projects involving repurposing existing structures as well as the seismic upgrades typically required with such projects.

We also have the capabilities of being bilingual in our public interface with the community and have included a public media consultant, 789, Inc., and a signage consultant, America’s Signs.

Cost estimating and project budget control will be provided by OCMI, a leader in the field of cost control.

DSEA is located in the City of Orange Old Towne Historic District and has experience working on similar projects, most recently with the City of Vista repurposing a portion of their senior center for different uses as well as the Togethership Private School repurposing an existing commercial office / warehouse building into their new school facility. Our consultant team also has a large body of work in San Bernadino County. The DSEA Cover Letter
Team hereinafter referred to as DSEA/MMA within this proposal has reviewed and understood the RFP. We intend on entering a contract under the terms and conditions prescribed by this RFP, have reviewed and accepted the Sample Agreement and meet all of the requested insurance requirements.

We also understand the compressed schedule and our DSEA/ MMA team will be able to meet the needs of a very aggressive schedule and include all work requested within the RFP. Our Project Schedule within this proposal demonstrates how we will accomplish this, and the city will be an active team member participant in scheduled reviews and project delivery milestones.

We have included a detailed task-by-task outline of the scope of work with fees per task as part of our fee proposal.

We are very excited for this opportunity to present you with our qualifications and fee structure and look forward to presenting you with our qualifications in person should we have an opportunity to do so. I will be the single person of contact during the RFP review process and thank you very much for this opportunity to serve the City of Fontana and the community surrounding this project.

Sincerely,

SECTION 11b

The project involves repurposing an existing two-story municipal building with a basement level located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Arrow Boulevard and Juniper Avenue. According to existing record drawings supplied by the city, the structure is comprised of brick walls with a concrete filled steel deck and a wooden bowstring truss roof assembly. The building, although not registered as a historic resource, represents an example of midcentury industrial building design that can be adapted well to modern uses. The project involves renovating the existing building as required to a mixed-use facility that will encourage private investment in the immediate vicinity of the project site to fulfill the goals of the City Downtown Area Plan. As discussed at the nonmandatory pre-bid site visit, the program shall include providing office space for 60-70 desks in an open and private setting, three commercial kitchen spaces, a coffee shop, meeting spaces that can be combined into a single large event space, recording studios, a pod cast room (media room), and both cold and dry food storage for the kitchens and virtual mailboxes.

DSEA has decades of experience adapting both historic and nonhistoric structures to a variety of uses from schools and restaurants to commercial uses. We have included Martinez Marin Architecture (MMA) as part of its consultant team who has an abundance of work with public clients and enables our team to assure we meet the aggressive schedule outlined in the RFP. The DSEA/MMA team understands that the city has a construction cost budget of $5 million and understands the complex issues that arise when adapting these older structures to more contemporary uses seamlessly. It is therefore important when commencing this project to begin with gathering detailed information to understand what work is necessary to implement the eight items on the Project Scope list, and how to maintain cost control to remain under the stated construction budget. Our process will involve the following steps to develop a clear understanding of the project goals.

Phase I: Programming, Conceptual Plan Development and
Due Diligence Activities.

Survey of Existing Conditions

1. The process begins with a systematic survey of the existing building involving a review of the Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Security/Safety systems to analyze the status of the systems’ performance relative to system lifespan, energy performance and long-term operational costs.

2. We also have included a full building survey to confirm that the city provided record drawings are accurate in relation to the current state of the building. We will confirm accessibility requirements around the site to ensure compliance with current building codes.

DSEA is a BIM 3D modeling firm and will create a 3D model of the building. This will be a useful tool in group presentations to communicate the project goals and objectives.

3. Path of travel from the public right-of-way to the building will also be analyzed along with other accessibility requirements for parking and EV parking stalls.

Needs Analysis Assessments – concurrent with Survey of Existing Conditions
The design team will meet with stakeholders to program the space and operational requirements. We recommend conducting focus groups with the end users, administration, and support personnel to establish goals and objectives to be evaluated for prioritization.

We have team members who are bilingual to facilitate an open discussion with all stakeholders to fully understand the needs of the project.

The DSEA/MMA team feels that it may take a minimum of 5 meetings with end user groups, administration, and support personnel (upon approval of the city and project manager). We plan to provide these meetings within the base services fee with no additional cost. Here is an outline of our recommended process:

Kick-off meeting with key stakeholders. (Mtg #1)
– Overall project planning
– Schedule and budget review
– Establish Focus Groups
Focus Group Meetings to discuss desired program
requirements. (Mtg #2 – extended day)
– Non-profit organizations
– Adjacent Staff
– Community
– City Staff
– Maintenance & Operations
Present Preliminary Project Program (Mtg #3)
– Needs list
– Prioritization
– Space diagrams of each functional area
– Preliminary cost assessment
Focus Group follow-up based to refine program
(Mtg #4 –extended day)
Present Final Project Program (Mtg #5)
Public Presentations (See Phase II Schematic Design)
Through the above meeting process here is a description of work product:

1. The concept design documents will graphically exhibit elements of the proposed upgrades.

2. A program booklet will be issued to the Client Team which will outline the scope of recommended improvements and a preliminary construction budget.

3. All programmatic elements in the list of 8 items will be included.

4. A project budget and cost estimate will be prepared based upon lump sum per square foot cost estimates.

Phase II: Design
Schematic Design
Upon agreement with all parties, Schematic Design will begin which will include a site plan, floor plans, roof plan, exterior and interior elevations, 3D modeling, outline specifications and material Understanding
and Approach
2 156
and color boards. A minimum of three (3) conceptual renderings of the proposed structure is included. A cost estimate will be prepared and submitted to the city for their internal review.

Public Presentation

1. During the development of Schematic Design, the team will attend meetings to present the proposed design to the local community and stakeholders. With our bilingual ability, we can provide the presentation in the language to those members wishing to hear the presentation that is most comfortable. This includes presentations to City Administration / Stakeholders / Public.

2. We propose that any presentations have a “dry run” with staff prior to insure consistency with the message for the rehabilitation.

Entitlement Approval
Up to four (4) rounds of city reviews with plan revisions to address city comments is provided within the project scope. Once entitlement approval is obtained,
Design Development
Upon receipt of entitlement approval of City staff, the DSEA/ MMA team will expand upon the Schematic Design documents to prepare Design Development documents. This will include all engineering disciplines completing plans to a 50% level of completion.

At the completion of Design Development, a cost estimate will be prepared and submitted to the city for their internal review.

At the completion of Design Development, a cost estimate will be prepared and submitted to the city for their internal review (4 weeks).

Phase III: Construction Documents / Agency Approval
Construction Documents
The DSEA/MMA team will use the approved Design Development documents from the city review to prepare final Construction Documents and Specifications in the format required. A cost estimate will be prepared at the 80% level of completion milestone.

We will submit these plans for city plan check and be responsible for responding to plan check review comments in a timely manner. We will facilitate an approval of documents to proceed into construction with a building permit. Approved plans will be submitted to the city for Bid Phase coordination purposes.

Accessibility
The DSEA//MMA team is an expert at ADA Accessible Path of Travel assessments and upgrades having completed numerous previous upgrades on college campuses and private facilities. We will address all accessibility compliance issues within the initial project program.

Cost Estimating
We have included O’Connor Management (OCMI) as our cost estimator on this project and have worked with them for over 20 years and have found their cost estimates to be very accurate and adjusted to the actual dates of construction. We will include cost estimates at each phase of the project to assure we are providing a project that will meet the budget goals of the project and fall under the $5M estimate for construction.

Schedule
We intend on delivering the completed project within the timeframe listed in the RFP under Contract Term. We will aggressively pursue each phase and overlap the phases as needed to maintain the project schedule. We will work with city staff directly and regularly to assist in maintaining the project schedule.

Phase I - Survey (2 weeks)
Phase I – Programming / Conceptual Design (4 weeks
overlapping with Survey)
Phase II – Schematic Design / Public Presentations (6 weeks overlapping with Programming / Conceptual Design 1 week) Phase II – Design Development (2 weeks overlapping with Schematic Design / Public Presentations)
Phase III – Construction Docs (4 weeks overlapping with Design Development 1 week)
Phase III – Permit Processing (3 weeks for a total of 16 weeks from phase I to permit clearance)
Phase III: Contract Administration / Close Out
Bid Phase
DSEA/MMA will coordinate with the City to prepare the bid documents including the Invitation to Bid, Instructions to Bidders, the bid format all bidders are to utilize, general and supplementary conditions, and any additional documents deemed necessary.

We will conduct the Pre-Bid Conference and project walk through in coordination with the City. The DSEA/MMA team will answer RFl’s as they occur during the bid Q&A period and will amend the Bid Documents as required and in a timely manner by issuing addenda as required. DSEA/MMA will assist the City in evaluating the bids and in determining the qualifications and acceptability of prospective contractors. We will assist in coordinating and preparing the required Notice to Proceed and coordinate other required documents with the contractor.

Construction
The DSEA/MMA Team will provide construction phase services to ensure that construction is being accomplished according to the intent of the construction documents. We will conduct periodic construction meetings and site walks as needed with a minimum of once every two (2) weeks for an anticipated period of 8 months.

DSEA/MMA will set up the protocol for the General Contractor to follow for all RFl’s, shop drawings, construction changes and change orders, etc., and will review, make recommendations, and approve and/or reject these items to keep the project moving. We will be responsible for preparing Instruction Bulletin directives as required to resolve problems and will review all contractor generated change orders and submit those found to be acceptable to the City for review and approval. DSEA/MMA will also be responsible for reviewing contractor payment applications and coordinating payments due with the city. We will assure that the contractor is maintaining updated record drawings to assist in the final closeout.

Close Out phase
DSEA/MMA will assure that all final inspections with the city are coordinated and resolved. Upon notice from the contractor when they state they are substantially complete, We will perform a punch list job walk and schedule subsequent punch list job walk reviews. Once complete, we will handle final documentation including preparing the as-built drawings off of the contractor furnished record drawings. As part of the closeout package with the contractor, DSEA/MMA will obtain the warranties and project manuals from the contractor and review these with the city, so they are aware of how to implement and use all products. We will provide a list of the extent of all warranties and the period in which they are valid and establish the end of the warranty period.

Our team will also provide commissioning for all MEP startup operations.

In an effort to clarify a firm scope of work involved in this project so that all consultants were able to prepare an accurate proposal, DSEA undertook the task of creating a preliminary conceptual design based on the programmatic elements listed in the RFP. DSEA & Terrain Integration collaborated to prepare some perspective renderings of the conceptual design and we felt it was important to add these renderings to this document to display our enthusiasm for this project.

This concept was developed without going through the process of a design program that responds to key stakeholders on the project, which is an important step in the design process. This concept therefore is only one of many options and we look forward to working with the team to find the best solution that responds to all needs and is in accord with desired directions of the overall Downtown Area Plan ( Chapter 14 of the Fontana General Plan). 4 158

Commission
The Commissary is the transformation of the former Commissary and Chapels at the Fred C. Nelles Youth Correctional Facility in Whittier California. As part of the redevelopment of the facility into a Community Center, the original building was formerly the Kitchen and Commissary for the guards and youth, then was transformed into Catholic and Protestant Chapels. Constructed between 1930 and 1933, the Commissary was transformed into a center that included meeting rooms, community room, small business area and recreation room. Careful implementation of all historical elements were completed under the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation including windows, doors, interior finishes and masonry. The building now serves as a focal point for the local community both architecturally and socially.

This 20,000 s.f. facility located in Southern California transforms a 40 year old commercial building into a ghost kitchen used for both incubator start up restaurants and overflow for established companies. The building first had to be evaluated for the Utility upgrades required for the 20 individual kitchens that were to be used 7 days a week. This included electrical power needs, plumbing lines and new Mechanical systems. Understanding time is of the essence, the project had to be competed in an accelerated time frame. electrical plans were fast tracked in order to have the switchgear delivered in time. Also because of the lengthy review time with the County Health department, plans were submitted quickly in order to be able to responds with their comments. While plans were in review, additional building research exposed unique structural systems that needed coordination with mechanical systems in order to provide the code required ceiling heights.

Cloud Kitchen, Lawndale CA
Included in this 26,000 s.f. two level building are eight new classrooms, an 85 seat fine arts auditorium, a multipurpose room with stage and food preparation area) able to communicate a 350 s.f banquet or basketball, a youth fellowship room, library gathering space, computer room storage and offices for four staff members.

Within a constrained site, the new facility was able to double the Clients existing square footage.

The exterior used concrete masonry units and bronze metal siding that responds to the colors of the adjacent Santa Rosa Mountains. The roof lines were lifted up to create a visual link to the existing adjacent sanctuary.

The County Public Health Warehouse represents an important project for Santa Clara County and the Capital Programs Division, with vital measures needed to mitigate closure of the completed facility due to natural hazards, such as earthquakes. Additionally, being a fasttrack project with critical milestones and a tight construction schedule, the design was driven by expediency and the need for coordination. Communications among designers, the County and the building owner’s representatives was a critical element in the success of this project. The structural portion of the project consisted primarily of performing a preliminary study of an existing 93,000 square foot concrete tilt-up building circa 1981, a seismic assessment of the existing building, and a seismic retrofit of the critical elements, with support during bidding and construction following the design phases.

OCMI’s team provided cost estimating services for the historic, 2-story Riverside Metropolitan Museum. Built in 1912, the museum has since had several modifications, including additions to the south and east side of the building and infill of the atrium for additional second floor space. OCMI assisted in a conceptual estimate of the 13,600 SF building. The estimate proposed many alternate options, with a range of costs associated with each option. Since the City did not have the money to conduct the complete $10.5 million renovation, OCMI’s estimate helped the City to select which options could be completed within their budget.

File #: 21-2950 Agenda Date: 5/14/2024
Agenda #: A. Category: Public Hearing
FROM:

City Clerk
SUBJECT:

Public Hearing for Consideration and Adoption of a Campaign Sign Deposit RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2024-021, adopting a refundable campaign sign deposit.

COUNCIL GOALS:
· To improve public safety by increasing operational efficiency, visibility, and availability. · To practice sound fiscal management by producing timely and accurate financial information.

DISCUSSION:

Implementation of a campaign sign deposit requirement will help mitigate visual clutter in public spaces during election periods, contributing to a more orderly, aesthetically pleasing, and pedestrianfriendly environment.

Adoption of a campaign sign deposit has been identified as a measure to ensure accountability among candidates and reimburses the City for costs associated with removing non-compliant campaign signs. It is recommended that the City Council adopt a campaign sign deposit of $1,000.00 to offset the costs associated with removing non-compliant campaign signs that would be applicable to all candidates participating in local elections.

Setting a reasonable deposit amount is aimed at discouraging excessive or indiscriminate placement of campaign signs while remaining accessible to candidates from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. It also allows for the City to recoup costs for staff time to remove the improper signs.

Additionally, clear guidelines regarding the submission, refund, or forfeiture of campaign sign deposits, including provisions for enforcement and dispute resolution will be established upon adoption of the deposit.

On March 26, 2024, the City Council considered adoption of the proposed campaign sign deposit resolution and directed staff to amend the resolution to include an option to waive the deposit under the following circumstances:
1) For candidates who opt not to erect any signage during their campaign period, acknowledging their choice to forego this traditional aspect of campaigning; 2) For candidates whose gross annual household income does not exceed the area median income threshold for San Bernardino County set by the United States Department of Housing City of Fontana Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/8/2024

MOTION:

Approve staff recommendation.

Project entitlement include Tentative Parcel Map No. 21-007 (TPM No. 20456) and Design Review (DRP) No. 21-013 along with the certification of an FEIR, SCH No. 202112059, and adoption of a MMRP for the consolidation of 22 parcels into one parcel and development of an industrial warehouse building totaling approximately 623,460 square feet on approximately 29.8 acres on the northwest corner of Slover Avenue and Cypress Avenue (APNs: 0251-163-01, -02, -03, -04, -05, -06, -07, -08, -09, -10, & -13, and 0251-164-03, -04, -10, -11, -12, -14, -15, -16, -20, -23, & -25).

Background:

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 19, 2024, and approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 21-007 (TPM No. 20456) and Design Review No. 21-013 along with certifying the FEIR, (SCH No. 202112059) and MMRP, and a Statement of Facts and Findings for the project with adoption of Resolution PC Number 2024-017 and Resolution PC Number 2024-018, respectively, with vote of 4-0. The staff report and attachments for the March 19, 2024, Planning Commission hearing for the project, along with meeting minutes, are included as Attachments 5 and 6, respectively, to this staff report.

The EIR for the Duke Realty/ PROLOGIS Development Project (SCH No. 202112059) was made available for the public review at the City’s website:
<https://www.fontanaca.gov/2137/Environmental-Documents>, front counter, and reviewed by the Planning Commission at the March 19, 2024, regular meeting Appeal:

Subsequent to the Planning Commission’s March 19, 2024 approval, the City received appeal applications. In summary, the appellant’s letters accompanying the appeal applications claim that there were flaws in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and CEQA process and that the Planning Commission should have requested that a new EIR be prepared due to these flaws. The letters state that the Planning Commission’s findings approving the Project entitlements are unsupported by substantial evidence because the Project’s unmitigated impacts would be detrimental to the health and safety of nearby residents. Responses to the letters were prepared to address the issues raised by appellants.

The project environmental consultant (T&B Planning), who prepared the EIR for the Duke Realty/ PROLOGIS commerce building project has prepared written responses to the claims in the Appellants’ letters. Their responses are attached to each letter (Attachments No. 2, 3, and 4).

Attachment 2 explains why the claims raised in the Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance appeal were adequately addressed in the Final EIR and, as such, no further responses are necessary. Attachment 3 explains that the claims raised in the Advocates for the Environment appeal were addressed in a March 12, 2024 T&B Memorandum submitted to the Planning Commission, which addressed all the comments now raised in the Appeal and, as such, no further responses are necessary. Finally, Attachment 4 provides detailed responses to the claims raised in the CARE CA City of Fontana Page 2 of 3 Printed on 5/8/2024

necessary. Finally, Attachment 4 provides detailed responses to the claims raised in the CARE CA appeal and finds that none of the comments provide substantial evidence to support any revisions to the EIR or requires the revision of any of findings made by the Planning Commission.

Fontana, CA 92335
FROM: David Ornelas, Senior Associate
DATE: April 24, 2024
RE: Response to Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance Appeal of MCN 21-038 T&B Planning, Inc. (T&B Planning) is the environmental consulting firm that prepared the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Cypress and Slover Warehouse project (Master Case No. 21-038, hereinafter “Project”). T&B Planning has prepared this memorandum in response to the March 25, 2024, letter sent to the City of Fontana by the Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance as an appeal to the Fontana Planning Commissions decision from March 19, 2024, to approve the Project (hereinafter “Appeal Letter”).

The Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance state that their concern for the environment and their opinion that the Project’s EIR is inadequate form the basis of their appeal of the Project’s approval. The Golden State Environmental Justice Alliance note that all of their concerns related to the Project’s potential environmental impacts and purported inadequacies of the Project’s EIR were outlined in a comment letter provided to the City on June 28, 2023 (hereinafter “Comment Letter”). Detailed, point-by-point responses to the Comment Letter are provided in the Project’s Final EIR, see Pages F-73 through F-115. As addressed by the responses to the Comment Letter provided within the Final EIR: 1) the Project’s potential environmental impacts were fully disclosed in the EIR; 2) the Project’s environmental analysis utilized appropriate assumptions and analysis methodologies that were reasonable and appropriate; and 3) the conclusions in the EIR were correct, legally adequate, and supported by substantial evidence. Because the Final EIR addressed all of the comments from the Comment Letter and because the Appeal Letter does not raise any new comments that were not previously addressed by the Final EIR, no further responses are necessary.

FROM: David Ornelas, Senior Associate
DATE: March 12, 2024
RE: Response to Advocates for the Environment Comment Letter T&B Planning, Inc. (T&B Planning) is the environmental consulting firm that prepared the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Cypress and Slover Warehouse project (hereinafter “Project”). T&B Planning has prepared this memorandum in response to a letter sent to the City by Advocates for the Environment, dated August 18, 2023 (hereinafter “Comment Letter”). The Comment Letter alleges deficiencies with the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact analysis presented in the EIR. This memorandum addresses the Comment Letter and demonstrates that the GHG impact analysis that was performed for the Project was legally adequare and technically accurate. Accordingly, the conclusions presented in the EIR are valid. The responses provided below and on the following pages are presented to correspond with the topics that were discussed in the Comment Letter.

Net-Zero GHG Emissions
The Commenter argues that the Project should provide fair share mitigation for GHG emissions but contradicts this assertion by advocating that the City hold the Project to a net-zero standard for GHG emissions, providing neither evidence that imposing a net-zero requirement is feasible nor commensurate with the scale of the Project’s impact. The Commenter also argues that net-zero GHG emissions are necessary to ensure Project consistency with the CARB 2017 and 2022 Scoping Plans. The Commenter’s assertion that requiring net-zero emissions from the Project would be feasible is inaccurate as are the Commenter’s allegations that requiring netzero emissions is necessary to ensure Project compliance with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2017 or 2022 Scoping Plans. In fact, the CARB 2022 Scoping Plan specifically cautions against using net-zero targets at Appendix D, page 18 of the Scoping Plan:

Jurisdictions should also avoid creating targets that are impossible to meet as a basis to determine significance. For example, a net-zero target may imply that the GHG emissions of any project that are not reduced or offset to zero would be considered potentially significant. This may lead to undue burdens and frustrate project approval processes, which may be particularly problematic for residential development in climate-smart, infill areas. In addition, some jurisdictions have more land capacity to remove and store carbon, while others host GHG-emitting facilities that serve necessary functions and will take time to transition to new technology (e.g., municipal wastewater treatment plants, landfills, energy generation facilities). 446

RESPONSE TO ADVOCATES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT COMMENT LETTER March 12, 2024

With respect to Project-related emissions of GHGs, based on the data presented in DEIR Table 4.6-4 and conditions of approval the City will apply to the Project, mobile source (i.e., vehicle and equipment tailpipes) emissions would account for approximately 73% of the Project’s estimated annual emissions of GHGs. Neither the Project Applicant nor the City of Fontana can regulate emissions from vehicle tailpipes, which instead are regulated at the State and federal levels. Thus, the only way to achieve net-zero emissions for the Project’s mobile sources would be to require that all the Project’s heavy-duty trucks consist of fully electric vehicles. However, such a requirement is not feasible. First, there is not enough electrical grid power to sustainably charge these trucks. For example, a California company attempted to electrify 12 forklifts, which require significantly less power than trucks, and local power utilities told the company that it was not possible.1 In a May 2023 report by Resources for the Future, titled Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Electrification: Challenges, Policy Solutions, and Open Research Questions, the report states that charging for medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles (“MHDEVs”), which may exceed several MWs of demand for large fleets, could destabilize electricity distribution systems. Additionally, due to logistical and operational barriers, MHDEVs must be comparable to diesel vehicles in model options, range, recharge time, payloads, and maintenance.2 However, MHDEVs generally have ranges below 200 miles, versus more than 1,000 miles for diesel vehicles.3 Additionally recharge times are substantially longer than diesel refueling. For example, a clean diesel truck can spend 15 minutes fueling anywhere in the country and then travel about 1,200 miles before fueling again.4 In contrast, today’s long-haul battery electric trucks have a range of about 150-330 miles and can take up to 10 hours to charge.5 Moreover, fleets without a charging depot will need to rely on public charging stations.

In addition to the barriers described above, the simple fact is that zero-emission trucks are currently cost prohibitive for most fleet owners. A new, clean-diesel long-haul tractor typically costs in the range of $180,000 to $200,000.6 Meanwhile, a comparable battery-electric tractor – with a quarter of the range and thus requiring frequent and long hours of charging – costs upwards of $480,000.7 This $300,000 upcharge is cost prohibitive for the overwhelming majority of truck carriers as more than 95% of trucking companies are small businesses operating ten (10) trucks or fewer.8 Not only do the trucks themselves pose a financial burden, so does the installation of a charging station, which can exceed $100,000.9 As stated previously, many small trucking businesses will thus be required to use public charging stations, at which the infrastructure for such charging is not widely available.10 Finally, if the above challenges were not enough, there is a significant constraint in sourcing enough raw minerals needed to produce the lithium-ion batteries used in these zero-emission trucks. For example, tens of millions of tons of cobalt, graphite, lithium, and nickel will need to be produced.11 It is estimated that it could take up to 35 years to acquire all the minerals needed to generate enough truck batteries for current levels 1 htps://www.trucking.org/news-insights/heavy-dose-reality-electric-truck-mandates 2 Id. 3 Id. 4 Id. 5 Id. 6 Id. 7 Id. 8 Id. 9 htps://media.rff.org/documents/Report_23-03_v3.pdf 10 htps://www.ccjdigital.com/alterna�ve-power/batery-electric/ar�cle/15545697/charging-forward-with-electric-truckcharging-sta�ons 11 htps://www.trucking.org/news-insights/heavy-dose-reality-electric-truck-mandates 447

of global production.12 Additionally, expanding capacity and sourcing this amount of material creates massive environmental effects, that in some respects could exceed the emissions of current clean-diesel trucks.13 Further, for the Project to achieve net-zero GHG emissions all private vehicles used by Project employees to commute to and from the Project Site would need to be fully electric vehicles. Neither the Project Applicant nor the City have the ability to implement nor enforce such a requirement. Accordingly, it would not be feasible to require the Project to achieve net-zero GHG emissions associated with the Project’s mobile source emissions.

The second largest source of the Project’s estimated GHG emissions would occur as a result of the Project’s energy consumption. The Project’s building is not anticipated to utilize natural gas; thus, the only source of GHG emissions associated with the Project’s energy demands would be from electricity. Further, as required by the City of Fontana’s Industrial Commerce Centers Sustainability Standards, the Project Applicant is required to install and utilize rooftop solar panels as the source of all electricity for the proposed building except for the electricity needed for any refrigerated/cold storage space. Electricity would be provided to the Project by Southern California Edison (SCE). Neither the Project Applicant nor City of Fontana can affect SCE’s energy portfolio, as renewable energy requirements for public utilities are regulated at the State and federal levels. Furthermore, SCE already is committed to increasing its reliance on renewable sources of energy production, as required pursuant to Senate Bill 350 (SB 350), the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act of 2015. Pursuant to SB 350, SCE is required to increase the amount of electricity procured from renewable energy sources from 33% to 50% by 2030, with interim targets of 40% by 2024, and 45% by 2027. It would not be feasible for the Project to achieve 100% of its energy demands through renewable energy production on site, as the roof of the proposed buildings would not have adequate area to accommodate sufficient solar panels to achieve 100% renewable energy production on site (only if cold/refrigerated storage is incorporated into the building). Accordingly, it is not feasible to require that 100% of the Project’s electricity demand must be met through renewable energy sources.

The commenter also refers to the Newhall Ranch and Centennial (Tejon Ranch) development projects as examples of (voluntary) net-zero development. The capabilities and feasibility of mitigating GHG impacts for Newhall Ranch and Tejon Ranch are different than those for the proposed Project due to their vastly different scales. Newhall Ranch is a mixed-use project that will provide 21,500 residential homes and over 11.5 million square feet of commercial retail and industrial land uses, while Tejon Ranch is a mixed-use project that will provide 19,300 residential homes and 10.1 million square feet of retail, commercial, and institutional uses. Given the sizes and scopes of the Newhall Ranch and Tejon Ranch projects, they are not directly comparable to the Project, which proposes a different type of land use (industrial warehouse) and provides only one building at fraction of the total building area as compared to the tens of thousands of buildings proposed by the Newhall Ranch and Tejon Ranch projects. The sheer differences in size affords the Newhall Ranch and Tejon Ranch opportunities to reduce GHG emissions and economies of scale in incorporating new technologies to reduce GHG emissions that are not available for the Project.

For the reasons noted above, it would not be feasible to require the Project to achieve net-zero GHG emissions.

In addition, the Commenter is incorrect in asserting that development projects must achieve net-zero GHG emissions to demonstrate consistency with the CARB 2017 or 2022 Scoping Plans. The CARB 2017 and 2022 Scoping Plans do not identify any such requirement (furthermore, the CARB 2022 Scoping Plan post-dates the 12 Id. 13 Id.
448

RESPONSE TO ADVOCATES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT COMMENT LETTER March 12, 2024

Project’s Notice of Preparation and is not applicable to the Project’s environmental analysis). The analysis of Threshold “b” in DEIR Subsection 4.6, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, provides an analysis of and demonstrates the Project’s consistency with the CARB 2017 Scoping Plan. As this comment does not identify any deficiencies in the DEIR’s analysis of Project consistency with the 2017 Scoping Plan, no revision to the EIR is warranted pursuant to this comment.

Sufficiency of Mitigation for GHG Emissions
The Commenter argues that feasible mitigation is available to reduce Project-related GHG emissions and should be required by the Project’s EIR and that the EIR lacks substantial evidence to support its conclusions. Since the Commenter submitted this comment letter to the City, the Project’s EIR has been supplemented to summarize the numerous design features required by the City’s Industrial Commerce Centers Sustainability Standards to reduce GHG emissions, including but not limited to the requirement for rooftop solar panels, prohibition of diesel generators, and requirements for use of electric equipment on-site. The EIR also has been updated to include new mitigation measures to reduce Project-related GHG emissions, including but not limited to a requirement for the proposed building to be constructed to the equivalent of LEED “Silver” standards and restrictions placed on diesel truck idling on-site. Refer to Pages 4.6-22 to 4.6-26 of the Project’s Final EIR for a detailed discussion of design features and mitigation measures that are required to reduce GHG emissions; the implementation of these items would substantially reduce GHG emissions associated with the Project. Contrary to the Commenter’s opinion, and addressed by the preceding response, the use of electric haul trucks is not a feasible mitigation option for the Project. The Project’s Final EIR includes substantial evidence to support its conclusions and no further revisions are needed.

Operational Mitigation Measures
The Commenter offers mitigation measures to potentially reduce GHG emissions from Project operation. The Project already is required by the State building Code and the City’s Industrial Commerce Centers Sustainability Standards to provide a solar reflective roof, preferable parking for carpools and vanpools, bicycle parking, and charging stations for passenger electric vehicles (and additional conduit for future expansion of passenger vehicle electric vehicle charging and heavy truck charging) – all of these are measures recommended by the Commenter.

The Project Site also abuts a public transit stop (Omnitrans Route 82); access to public transit is another request of the Commenter. The Commenter does not provide substantial evidence that additional design or mitigation measures are available that would reduce operational GHG emissions and that are not already incorporated into the Project or required by applicable local and State regulations. No changes to the EIR are needed.

Rooftop Solar Panels
The Commenter makes erroneous statements that the Project will construct a “solar ready” roof in lieu of installing rooftop solar panels, citing statements that are purported to come from the Project’s EIR, while advocating for the installation of rooftop solar panels on the proposed building. The statements cited by the Commenter were not made in the Project’s EIR or any of the technical reports appended to the EIR. Further, as described in multiple instances throughout the EIR, the Project will install rooftop solar panels that will supply 100% of the power needed to operate all non-refrigerated portions of the Project as required by the City’s Industrial Commerce Centers Sustainability Standards (see EIR Pages 4.1-19 & -20, 4.6-15, -16, and -23). Because the Project already will be required to provide rooftop solar panels, no changes to the Project’s proposal or the EIR are necessary.
449

RESPONSE TO ADVOCATES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT COMMENT LETTER March 12, 2024

Alternative Refrigerants
The Commenter asserts that the City should require the Project to provide a mitigation measure that requires the proposed building to utilize refrigerants with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), citing a recommendation from the CARB 2022 Scoping Plan. As noted in the Final Environmental Analysis for the CARB 2022 Scoping Plan, CARB already has a regulation in place to minimize GHG emissions from refrigerants (The Refrigerant Management Program, codified at 17 CCR § 95380 et seq.).14 Furthermore, as noted in the Final Environmental Analysis15:

Finally, it is important to note that under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020, a national HFC phasedown is now underway in the United States. Under the phasedown, a nationwide shift away from high-GWP HFCs to lower-GWP and HFC-free alternatives is expected to occur. The national phasedown mirrors the global HFC phasedown already in effect under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. These measures have paved the way for a global technological shift towards lower-GWP and HFC-free alternatives in all sectors that rely on HFCs.

Thus, any major shifts in the HFC market – such as increased production and imports of lower GWP alternatives, modifications to facilities where these gases are produced and used, and enhanced transportation of high-and low-GWP gases – will be driven predominantly by the global and national HFC phasedowns currently underway, not by California’s measures.

As demonstrated by the above text from CARB, the global market already is moving to low-GWP refrigerants and over the course of the Project’s lifespan it is unlikely that high-GWP refrigerants would be used in any substantive form on the Project Site. Based on the CARB regulation already in effect and the global phasedown of high-GWP refrigerants, no additional mitigation is needed for the Project.

Carbon Offsets
The Commenter asserts that the EIR should incorporate carbon offsets as a viable mitigation option for GHG emissions.

Although the Commenter is correct that carbon offsets can be purchased, recent Court of Appeal decisions have cast considerable doubt on the use of such offsets to mitigate GHG impacts from land use development projects. In Golden Door Properties, LLC v. County of San Diego (2020) 50 Cal.App.5th 467, the Court of Appeal invalidated a mitigation measure that required the purchase of offsets from a “CARB-approved registry, such as the Climate Action Reserve, the American Carbon Registry, and the Verified Carbon Standard.”  (Id. at 510.) Although the court insisted its decision “should not be construed as blanket prohibition on using carbon offsets” to mitigate GHG emissions under CEQA, it found numerous flaws with the measure at issue and failed to provide a clear roadmap for how to craft a similar valid measure. The court also declined to express an opinion on a number of issues, including whether offsets could potentially be used to mitigate more than 8% of a project’s emissions and the extent to which out-of-county offsets could be used.  (Id. at 503, 513, n. 27.)  Subsequent to Golden Door (and within the last year), another measure requiring the purchase of offsets was similarly found to be invalid in an unpublished Court of Appeal decision, with the court finding the measure’s inclusion of additional standards for offsets did “not cure the defects found in Golden Door.”  (Sierra Club v. County of San Diego (Dec. 21, 2021, No. D077548) 2021 WL 6050624, at *11.)  Considering such uncertainty, carbon offsets are not a feasible method for mitigating the Project’s GHG emissions.

RESPONSE TO ADVOCATES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT COMMENT LETTER March 12, 2024

In addition, it should be noted that the vast majority of GHG emissions that will be generated by the Project, including mobile emissions and energy emissions, are subject to the California Cap and Trade program, which places an economy-wide “cap” on major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, such as refineries, power plants, industrial facilities and transportation fuels. Given that more than 73% of the emissions that will be generated by the Project are covered by Cap and Trade and thus are already subject to a regulatory program that includes offsets, it would be inappropriate and infeasible to use offsets to mitigate such emissions. Rather, mitigation measures should focus on reducing emissions from the Project.

Indeed, Golden Door and other cases make clear that the purchase of offsets is not a substitute for avoiding emissions and that measures that result in actual reductions in emissions from a development project are preferable to attempting to offset emissions via offsets. Thus, the EIR requires that the Project implement numerous mitigation measures designed to reduce the Project’s GHG emissions, in addition to regulatory requirements designed to reduce GHG emissions (see EIR Pages 4.6-22 to 4.6-26).

The City has reviewed the Project and its EIR and has determined that all feasible mitigation measures have been incorporated into the EIR. For the reasons discussed above, the City’s experts disagree that the purchase of carbon offsets is a feasible or appropriate way to mitigate the Project’s remaining GHG emissions.

Alternatives
The Commenter argues that an alternative that retrofits and renovates the structures on the Project Site is preferable to the Project and should have been evaluated in the EIR. This comment appears to have been copied from a comment letter for a different project and is not applicable to the Project or the Project’s EIR, as the Project Site does not contain any structures that can be reasonably used or retrofitted/renovated for industrial land uses that would achieve the Project’s goals and objectives. No revisions to the EIR are warranted.

It should be noted that City staff is recommending approval of an alternative evaluated in the Project’s EIR, the Modified Building Operations Alternative. This alternative would place restrictions on the maximum amount of potential refrigerated warehouse space in the Project, which would reduce the Project’s energy consumption and reduce Project-related GHG emissions.

Re: Appeal of Planning Commission Approval of Cypress and Slover Warehouse Project (Master Case No. 21-038) and Certification of Final Environmental Impact Report; Reasons for Appeal
Dear Mayor Warren, City Council Members and Mr. Dille:

On behalf of Californians Allied for a Responsible Economy (“CARE CA”), we are writing to appeal the City of Fontana (“City”) Planning Commission’s March 19, 2024 approval of the Cypress and Slover Warehouse Project (“Project”) Master Case No. 21-038; Tentative Parcel Map No. 21-007 (TPM No. 20456); Design Review No. 21-013; certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report (“FEIR”); and adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations, Mitigation and Monitoring Program and Statement of Facts and Findings.

Division 5 of the Zoning and Development Code sets forth the City’s appeal procedures. Any action taken by the Planning Commission may be appealed by any interested party.1 The appeal must be in writing, filed with the Planning Division, and indicate specifically the reasons for the appeal.2 Appeals must be filed within 1 Zoning and Development Code § 30-25. 2 Id. § 30-28.

15 calendar days after the approving body has taken action.3 Pursuant to the City’s appeal procedures4, CARE CA hereby appeals all approval actions taken by the Planning Commission on March 19, 2024 related to the Project. Pursuant to the appeal procedures, this Appeal includes an electronic copy of this Appeal letter, the Appeal Application Form, and the required appeal fee of $299 and $31 archive fee, submitted via the Department of City Planning Online Application Portal.

CARE CA respectfully requests that the City Council uphold this Appeal, vacate the Planning Commission approvals, and remand the Project to City staff with direction to prepare a revised DEIR, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”),5 that fully discloses, analyzes, and mitigates the Project’s potentially significant impacts, in compliance with CEQA and local land use laws.

The revised DEIR should be recirculated for public comment before the Project is brought back for consideration at future hearings.

I. REASONS FOR APPEAL
The reasons for this appeal are that the Planning Commission abused its discretion and violated CEQA when it approved the Project and certified the FEIR for the Project on March 19, 2024.6 The FEIR does not comply with CEQA’s requirement to act as an informational document, in that it lacks proper analysis in crucial areas including the Project’s individual and cumulative impacts in the areas of air quality, public health, hazards and noise. The FEIR is deficient as a matter of law because it failed to properly analyze, disclose and mitigate the Project’s potentially significant impacts, and lacked substantial evidence supporting the City’s conclusions regarding those impacts.

The specific reasons for this appeal are set forth in detail in CARE CA’s prior comment letters and accompanying reports prepared by air quality and hazards expert James Clark, Ph.D. and noise expert Jack Meighan, and are summarized below. CARE CA’s prior comments on this Project are attached hereto and incorporated by reference.7 In short, the FEIR is deficient under CEQA because: (1) 3 Id. § 30-29. 4 Fontana Development Code, Division 5, §§ 30-25 – 30-29. 5 Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq. 6 See 3/1924 Notice of Determination for Slover/Cypress Warehouse Development Project, Exhibit C. 7 Exhibit A: March 18, 2024 letter from Richard Franco to City of Fontana Planning Commission re: Agenda Item PH-B –March 19, 2024 City of Fontana Planning Commission hearing on Cypress and Slover Warehouse Project (SCH No. 2021120059, MCN No. 21-038, DRP No. 21-013, TPM No. 20456, and TPM No. 21-007) (“CARE CA Planning Commission comments”).

it fails to adequately address or mitigate the Project’s cumulative impacts viewed in connection with the impacts of other nearby warehouse projects; (2) it fails to analyze and disclose all of the Projects’ expected diesel emissions and associated health impacts; (3) it fails to analyze and disclose potential arsenic contamination of soil at the Project site; and (4) it fails to support the noise impact analysis with substantial evidence.

For the same reasons, the Planning Commission’s tentative map and design review approval findings were not supported by substantial evidence, because the City lacked substantial evidence in the record to find that the project was consistent with applicable general plan, zoning code, and specific plan criteria, or that the Project would not result in serious public health problems or cause substantial environmental damage.8

1. The City Failed to Adequately Analyze the Project’s Cumulative Impacts.

An EIR must evaluate a cumulative impact if a project’s incremental effect combined with the effects of other projects is “cumulatively considerable.”9 This determination is based on an assessment of the project’s incremental impacts “viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current Impact Report – Cypress and Slover Warehouse Project (SCH No. 2021120059, MCN No. 21-038, DRP No. 21-013, TPM No. 20456, and TPM No. 21-007) (“CARE CA DEIR Comments”). 8 See Fontana Muni. Code § 26-55(e) (Findings for approval, tentative map: The planning commission shall approve any tentative tract map only if it makes the following findings: (1) That the proposed map is consistent with the city's general plan and any applicable specific plan; (2) That the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the general plan and any applicable specific plan; (3) That the site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed; (4) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat; (5) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not cause serious public health problems; (6) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.).

See Fontana Muni. Code § 30-120. (Findings for approval, design review: The Planning Commission shall approve any design review application subject to the following findings: (1) The proposal is consistent with the general plan, Zoning and Development Code, and any applicable specific plan; (2) The proposal meets or exceeds the criteria contained in this chapter and will result in an appropriate, safe and desirable development promoting the public health, safety, and welfare of the community; (3) The proposal, in its design and appearance, is aesthetically and architecturally pleasing resulting in a safe, well-designed facility while enhancing the character of the surrounding neighborhood; (4) The site improvements are appropriate and will result in a safe, well-designed facility.).

projects, and the effects of probable future projects.”10 Proper cumulative impact analysis is vital because “the full environmental impact of a proposed project cannot be gauged in a vacuum. One of the most important environmental lessons that has been learned is that environmental damage often occurs incrementally from a variety of small sources. These sources appear insignificant when considered individually, but assume threatening dimensions when considered collectively with other sources with which they interact.”11
Here, the City failed to properly assess the Project’s cumulative impacts in combination with impacts from numerous other warehouse projects in the immediate vicinity, including warehouses immediately adjacent to this Project.

Each of these projects will generate significant diesel truck traffic with resultant traffic, vehicle noise and air emissions (including toxic diesel particulate matter (“DPM”)) that will have a combined effect on residents and workers in the area.

The FEIR also lacks any analysis of the Projects’ cumulative impacts in areas including energy, land use and planning, public services and utilities. CEQA’s requirement that the City evaluate the Project’s cumulative impacts is especially important given the proliferation of warehouses in the City, as described in the CARE CA Planning Commission comments.

Because the FEIR lacks a CEQA-compliant cumulative impacts analysis, the Planning Commission abused its discretion in certifying the FEIR and granting the Project approvals and lacked substantial evidence to support its approval findings.

The City Council should vacate the Planning Commission’s decision and direct staff to prepare a revised EIR that adequately analyzes and mitigates all of the Project’s cumulative impacts.

2. The City Failed to Disclose All of the Project’s Expected Diesel Emissions
The FEIR includes air quality and health risk analyses associated with air emissions from the Project’s operations. These analyses, however, fail to include any of the diesel emissions from the Project’s diesel-powered fire pump and emergency generators. CEQA requires the City, as lead agency, to prepare the EIR with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision-makers with the necessary information to make an intelligent decision regarding the Project’s environmental impacts.12 The EIR must contain facts and analysis, not just the City’s bare 10 Id., §§ 15065(a)(3), 15355(b). 11 Communities for a Better Environment v. California Resources Agency (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th 98, 114.

conclusions.13 Specific data should be presented when it is necessary for a meaningful analysis and it is reasonably foreseeable to provide it.14 Here, the City produced detailed modeling of the Project’s estimated diesel emissions, but conspicuously failed to include emissions from the fire pump and backup generators, key sources of operational DPM emissions. It is plainly feasible for the City to provide specific data concerning these emissions as it has done for other emissions sources, yet it chose not to do so, in violation of CEQA. Accordingly, the City lacks substantial evidence supporting the conclusion that the Project’s operational emissions will not result in a significant impact to air quality or public health. The Planning Commission therefore lacked substantial evidence supporting its finding that the Project’s operational air quality and public health impacts will be less than significant.

The City Council should vacate the Planning Commission’s decision and instruct staff to prepare a revised EIR that analyzes and discloses all of the diesel emissions expected from Project operations.

3. The City Failed to Analyze Potentially Hazardous Soil Conditions
The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (“ESA”) performed in connection with the DEIR reveals that the Project site was used as a commercial chicken farm for some period between the 1950’s and the early 2000’s.15 CARE CA’s and Dr.

James Clark’s comments noted the widespread use of roxarsone, an arsenic-based additive to chicken feed, and cited evidence showing that arsenic from these applications can leach into soil and groundwater. As detailed in the FEIR, however, does not disclose the potential for arsenic-impacted soils to be present on the Project site, nor does it consider the possibility that particulate matter from grading activities, including dust that may contain arsenic, may migrate offsite to nearby sensitive receptors or affect Project workers during grading. The City’s failure to disclose and analyze these potentially significant impacts, or to perform any investigation into potential soil contamination, is a violation of CEQA.

The Planning Commission lacked substantial evidence to adopt the EIR’s unsupported conclusion that soil disturbance of the Project site will not result in significant impacts and to support approval findings. The City Council should vacate the Planning Commission’s decision and remand the Project to staff to 13 Sierra Club v. County of Fresno (2018) 6 Cal.5th 502, 522. 14 Id. at 519. 15 DEIR, Appendix J.

analyze potential arsenic contamination at the Project site, and include mitigation as appropriate.

4. The City’s Noise Analysis is Not Supported by Substantial Evidence
The City admittedly included an incorrect and out-of-date technical noise appendix when it released the Project’s DEIR. The City did not acknowledge this error nor publish the correct noise appendix on its website until it released the FEIR, months after the DEIR comment period had closed.

Based on his review of the now-available correct noise appendix, CARE CA’s noise expert Jack Meighan identified discrepancies that include an underestimation of the Project’s anticipated construction noise impacts. Based on Mr. Meighan's analysis, the Project’s construction noise could cause a significant impact to residents adjacent to the Project site, requiring the inclusion of mitigation measures. The City’s conclusion that the Project will not have significant noise impacts is therefore not supported by substantial evidence, and the Planning Commission’s decision to certify the FEIR despite these unmitigated noise impacts was an abuse of discretion.

The City Council should vacate the Planning Commission’s decision and require staff to prepare a revised EIR that accurately discloses the Project’s construction noise impacts to nearby residents and propose mitigation to reduce the Project's potentially significant noise impacts.

5. The Statement of Overriding Considerations is Not Supported by Substantial Evidence
The FEIR found that the Project will have significant and unavoidable environmental impacts related to GHG emissions.16 In order to approve the Project, the Planning Commission adopted a statement of overriding considerations pursuant to CEQA, stating that the Project’s overriding benefits outweigh its environmental harm.17 However, the Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted by the Planning Commission was not supported by substantial evidence because the City failed to adequately analyze and mitigate the Project’s cumulative GHG impacts, and because the record lacks substantial evidence that the Project 16 FEIR, S-6. 17 3/19/24 Planning Commission Staff Report (“Staff Report”), Attachment 6, CEQA findings, Sec. 9 (Statement of Overriding Considerations); PRC § 21081; CEQA Guidelines, § 15093. 457

will provide countervailing community benefits which justify its approval despite the Project’s unmitigated impacts.

An agency’s determination that a project’s benefits outweigh its significant, unavoidable impacts “lies at the core of the lead agency’s discretionary responsibility under CEQA.”18 Before an impact can be declared significant and unavoidable, the lead agency must first adopt all feasible mitigation to reduce the impact to the greatest extent feasible.19 The City must set forth the reasons for its action, pointing to supporting substantial evidence in the administrative record.20 This requirement reflects the policy that public agencies must weigh a project’s benefits against its unavoidable environmental impacts, and may find the adverse impacts acceptable only if the benefits outweigh the impacts.21 Importantly, a statement of overriding considerations is legally inadequate if it fails to accurately characterize the relative harms and benefits of a project.22 In this case, the Planning Commission lacked substantial evidence to conclude that GHG impacts would be mitigated to the greatest extent feasible, because the FEIR failed to disclose the extent and severity of the Project’s cumulative GHG impacts in relation to the substantial amount of warehouse development in the region. As a result, the FEIR failed to consider whether additional feasible mitigation could be required for the Project to further reduce cumulative GHG impacts.

The Planning Commission also lacked substantial evidence to that the Project’s significant, unavoidable impacts are outweighed by the Project’s benefits to the community. CEQA specifically references employment opportunities for highly trained workers as a factor to be considered in making the determination of overriding benefits.23 Currently, there is not substantial evidence in the record showing that the Project’s significant, unavoidable impacts are outweighed by benefits to the community. The Applicant has not made any commitments to employ graduates of state approved apprenticeship programs or taken other steps to ensure employment of highly trained and skilled craft workers on Project construction. Therefore, the City would not fulfill its obligations under CEQA if it adopted a statement of overriding considerations and approved the Project. 18 Laurel Heights Improvement Assn. v.
