2 SCOPE OF WORK
Project Understanding
The proposed project would allow for the redevelopment of an approximately 4.8-acre property located at 2461- 2495 East Orangethorpe Avenue in southeast Fullerton near its border with the City of Placentia. The Applicant is requesting the City of Fullerton’s (City) consideration of discretionary actions to allow for the demolition of the existing 85,700-square-foot Cedarwoods Business Park a nd the construction and operation of a warehouse/ distribution facility. The existing five -building multi-tenant business park was constructed in 1983. Three of the buildings are in use by industrial users; the other two are in use by office and food and beverage users.
Based on information provided as a part of the Requ est for Proposal (RFP), the proposed 110,232-square-foot warehouse/ distribution facility would include 105,232 square feet of warehouse space and 10,000 square feet of ancillary office uses on the northwest and southwest corners of the building on the first floor and mezzanine level.
The proposed warehouse facility would continue to provide vehicular access from two driveways on East Orangethorpe Avenue and one driveway at the terminus of the Cypress Way cul-de-sac. The truck court, which is proposed to have 15 dock doors, would be located on the west side of the building.
Kimley-Horn will be responsible for the preparation of and the peer review of technical studies as well as CEQA documentation to support the following discretionary actions:
Zone change on a portion of the site from C-M to MP-100-ES. With the rezone, the entirety of the site would be zoned MP-100.
Major Site Plan approval
CEQA compliance
This scope of work assumes the prep aration of an Initial Study leading to a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND). If through the preparation and review of technical studies it is determined that an alternative type of CEQA document would be required, such as an Environmen tal Impact Report (EIR), the City will be contacted to determine the next steps, which could include but not be li mited to revisions to the project to reduce significant effects or preparation of an EIR.
Task 1 – Project Initiation
Kickoff Meeting. Kimley-Horn staff will participate in the kick-off meeting with City staff and the Applicant, the latter if deemed appropriate by the City, to confirm the approach to the project, the scope of work, and communication protocol and the administrative record assumptions. The meeting discussion would include any known project issues, and agency and community issues that need to be considered through the process as well as potential streamlining provisions that may be appropriate.
Data Review and Site Reconnaissance. Kimley-Horn will conduct reconnaissance of the project site and surrounding area. We will review readily available project materials and reference data, including planning and policy documentation from the City and any other agencies affected by the proj ect. Kimley-Horn will assess whether available information is adequate and complete. The City will be notified if additional information is needed. Data obtained through this task will be foundational to the environmental documentation and incorporated into the analysis, as appropriate.
Project Description. The Project Description is a critical component because it is the basis for the environmental analysis. Based on information provided by the City an d Applicant, Kimley-Horn will prepare a draft Project Description for review and approval prior to the submit tal of the CEQA document. The Project Description will
3 detail the project’s location, environmental setting, proj ect characteristics, construction schedule/phasing, and discretionary actions. Exhibits will be prepared to depict the regional and site vicinity and key project components to support the environmental analyses. Kimley-Horn will respond to one reconciled set of comments on the draft Project Description.
SB 18 and AB 52 Consultation. The project requires a rezone, which triggers agency to agency consultations under Senate Bill 18 (SB 18) between Native American groups affiliated with the project area. Kimley-Horn will contact the Native American Heritage Commission to obtain a tribal contacts list and request a Sacred Lands file determination; Kimley-Horn will draft SB 18 letters for us e by the City. Under SB 18, tribes have 90 days from receipt of the letter to request consultation with the City, unless tribes have agreed to a shorter timeframe.
The project will also be required to comply with Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) which establishes a formal consultation process for California tribes as a part of CEQA and equate s significant impacts on trib al cultural resources with significant environmental impacts. Kimley-Horn will use the Ci ty’s tribal contact list to draft AB 52 letters for City transmittal. Should a request for consultation be received , the City will be required to enter into a consultation process. Under AB 52, tribal representatives have 30 days to request consultation. The result of the communication will be addressed in the Initial Study. Co nsultation is only between the Lead Agency (City of Fullerton) and the tribal representatives; therefore, this scope assumes Kimley-Horn will not participate in any consultation meetings. However, Kimley-Horn’s archaeologists can assist the City if requested.
Deliverables. All deliverables will be transmitted electronically unless otherwise noted. A comprehensive list of assumptions and deliverables is provided at the end of this Scope of Work. Participation in Kick-Off Meeting

SECTION A
Task 2 – Technical Analysis
Applicant-Prepared Technical Reports
This scope of work assumes the following studies will be provided to Kimley-Horn:
Geotechnical Investigation
Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan
Drainage Study
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
It is assumed that Kimley-Horn will receive these technical reports at the time of project kick-off. Kimley-Horn will review these technical reports for adequacy for CEQA an alysis. The review will focus on the appropriateness/ thoroughness of the methodology and analysis; whether the analyses’ conclusions are supported by factual/ credible evidence; consistency among reports and accurate representation of project-related information; and, whether the analysis meets the applicable CEQA provis ions. Written comments on th e technical studies will be provided. Kimley-Horn’s Scope of Work assumes that the Applicant’s consultant team will complete all necessary and requested revisions and forward a revised technical do cument for each subject area in a timely fashion to maintain the review schedule as noted in this proposal. Upon receipt of the revised technical studies, we will review the revised reports to ensure that all necessary and required comments have been addressed and resolved.
4 Kimley-Horn Prepared Technical Analyses
Unless otherwise noted, the following technical analyses will be incorporated directly into the Initial Study sections.
Air Quality. The assessment of air quality emissions will be conducted in accordance with the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) recommended methodologies. Fugitive dust and equipment exhaust emissions from construction activities will be quantita tively evaluated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod). The air pollutant emissions during cons truction will be compared to the SCAQMD regional thresholds of significance. Operational emissions (i.e., area, energy, and mobile sources) will be quantified and compared to the SCAQMD thresholds of significance. Modeled emissions will also be compared to the South Coast AQMD Localized Significance Thresholds to determine whether the localized impacts would occur. Carbon monoxide hotspots will be qualitatively addressed. Project consistency with the SCAQMD’s Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) will be addressed. Mitigation measures will be identified and incorporated, as necessary, and consistent with The Fullerton Plan EIR to reduce potentially significant air quality impacts of the proposed project. Additionally , pursuant to case law (i.e., Sierra Club v. County of Fresno ), Kimley-Horn will qualitatively address the project’s potential to impact human health. This Scope of Work excludes preparation of a Health Risk Assessment because the pr oject is anticipated to generate fewer than 100 daily truck trips and the site is more than 500 feet away from the closest sensitive receptors, which are located in the City of Placentia.
The air quality assessment will explain why an HRA is not required for the project.
Cultural Resources. It is our understanding that the on-site st ructures were constructed in 1983 and would therefore not be considered historic buildings. Kiml ey-Horn will prepare a Cultural Resources Memorandum, which would consist of a records search at the South-Ce ntral Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) and submit a record search request to the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to ascertain if any previously recorded cultural resources or documented sacred lands files ar e located in the area. Kimley-Horn archaeologists will prepare memorandum documenting desktop research and the record search results. A field survey will not be conducted.
Energy. Kimley-Horn will analyze the energy implications of the project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21100(b)(3) as well as Appendix F and Appendix G of the CE QA Guidelines. These statutes and guidelines require a project to describe, where relevant, the wasteful, ine fficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy caused by a project. The analysis will analyze energy consumption associated with short-term construction activities, long- term operations, buildings, and transportation-related ener gy during construction and operation. In addition to building code compliance, other relevan t considerations may include, among others, the project’s size, location, orientation, equipment use and any renewable energy featur es that could be incorporated into the project. The assessment of environmental impacts on energy resour ces will include measures to reduce inefficient and unnecessary consumption of energy, if necessary.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Kimley-Horn will prepare an inventory of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (i.e., nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) from direct sources (e.g., construction equipment during short-term construction activities and from project-generated operational vehicular traffic, on-site combustion of natural gas, and operation of landscaping equipment, etc.) and indirect sources (e.g., electricity consumption, solid waste, etc.). The emissions inventory will be compiled using CalEEMod. Consistency with applicable GHG reduction plans including the Fullerton Plan Climate Action Plan and other applicable City plans/policies as well as statewide GHG emissions reduction strategies such as the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Scoping Plan and the Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Community Strategy fo r the Southern California Association of Governments
5 region will be addressed, as applicable. Mitigation measures will be identified and incorporated, as necessary, and consistent with The Fullerton Plan EIR to reduce potentially significant GHG impacts of the proposed project.
Noise and Vibration. Kimley-Horn will review applicable noise and la nd use compatibility criteria for the project area. Noise standards regulating noise impacts will be discussed for land uses adjacent to project. A site visit will be conducted and short-term noise level measurements (a pproximately 10 minutes in duration) will be taken at up to four locations to establish base line noise levels in the project area . Construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the frequency of occurrence. On-site noise generating activities will be addressed and analyzed for potential impacts to the adjacent uses and will be assessed against the City’s Land Use Noise and Compatibility Matrix and Interior/Exterior Noise Guidelines. On-site and off-site noise impacts from vehicular traffic will be assessed using the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Traffic Noise Predicti on Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). An analysis of vibration impacts will be based on the Federal Transit Administra tion’s (FTA) vibration analysis guidance. Mitigation measures will be identified and inco rporated, as necessary, and consistent with The Fullerton Plan EIR to reduce potentially significant noise impacts of the proposed project.
Transportation. Using the City’s Transportation Assessment Polic ies and Procedures (TAPP) Worksheet, Kimley- Horn will determine the trip generation assumptions for the project, which will be used for our technical analyses.
This Scope of Work does not assume the preparation of a Level of Service local circulation analysis. Should the City request this non-CEQA analysis, Kimley-Horn will pr ovide a supplemental scope and fee to the City. Kimley- Horn will prepare a screening level VMT analysis using th e North Orange County Collaborative VMT Traffic Study Screening Tool (NOCC+). No modeling by Kimley-Horn is assumed but can be prepared under a separate scope and fee if required.
SECTION B
Task 3 – Environmental Documentation - Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Administrative Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration Kimley-Horn will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study. Using the City’s Environmental Checklist Form, each of the topics contained in the Environmental Checklist w ill be evaluated to document the nature and extent of any potential environmental consequences and the need fo r mitigation. Applicable mitigation identified in The Fullerton Plan will be incorporated and supplemented by additional measures, as needed. Many of the issue areas addressed in the Initial Study will result in no significant effects (i.e., “No Impact” or “Less than Significant Impact”) due to the project’s type, size, and location. The respon ses will consider the whole action involved with the proposed project.
Environmental Checklist Topics
The following describes the work effort proposed to a ssess the potential environmental effects relative to the topical issues.
Aesthetics and Visual Resources. The project site is occupied by a five-building office complex with surface parking.
The Cedarwoods Business Park buildings are each two stories. The project site is generally bordered by warehouse, retail, and office uses. The Placentia Flood Control Basin is located north of East Orangethorpe Avenue and a mobile home park is located southeast of the intersection of Orangethorpe Avenue at Placenta Avenue in the City of Placentia. The changes in the site’s visual characte r associated with 42-foot-tall warehouse will be evaluated based on project information provided by the Applicant including but not limited to renderings and elevations as well as our independent review of the project. As such , the warehouse’s compatibility with respect to massing,
6 height, and building materials with the surrounding area will be evaluated. Mitigation will be recommended, as needed, to reduce any potential aesthetic and lighting impacts.
Agriculture and Forestry Resources . The proposed project would not impact agricultural, forestry, or mineral resources. The project site is an existing business complex. The Fullerton Plan and the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Department of Conservation will be referenced to note that the site contains no Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, or Forestry Resources.
Air Quality. As noted in Section A, Kimley-Horn staff will prepare the air quality analysis which will be incorporated directly into the Initial Study. Modeling outputs will be included as an appendix to the Initial Study.
Biological Resources. The project site is developed with no natural resource features. Implementation of the proposed project remove ornamental landscaping found along the Orangethorpe Avenue frontage, adjacent to on-site office buildings, and in the surface parking area s including turf, shrubs, and trees. The project would remove several large trees; therefore, the project would be required to comply with the Migratory Bird Act.
Cultural Resources. Because of prior disturbance associated with site development, no significant impacts to historic or archaeological resources would be expected. The findings of the Cultural Resources Memorandum will be summarized in this section of the Initial Study.
Energy. As noted in Section A, Kimley-Horn staff will prepar e the energy analysis which will be incorporated directly into the Initial Study. Modeling outputs will be included as an appendix to the Initial Study.
Geology and Soils and Paleontological Resources. The proposed project would include grading and excavation to prepare the site for construction. Kimley-Horn will use the Geotechnical Study provided by the Applicant to address the potential for impacts associated with seismic activity and site-specific so ils/geotechnical conditions.
Kimley-Horn will have a paleontological resources records search conducted by the Los Angeles County Museum, Vertebrate Paleontology Section. The findings will be addressed in the Initial Study.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. As noted in Section A, Kimley-Horn st aff will prepare the GHG analysis which will be incorporated directly into the Initial Study. Modeling outputs will be included as an appendix to the Initial Study.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials. Kimley-Horn will use the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment to identify recognized environmental conditions located within the projec t site or at adjacent properties that could present material risk of harm to public health or to the enviro nment. Potential effects to emergency routes will also be addressed.
Hydrology and Water Quality. The environmental document will use the Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan and Hydrology and Drainage Study provided by the Applicant to address the potential for impacts associated with surface water runoff and water quality. The studies will need to address pre- and post-development site drainage; available capacity of existing storm drain infrastructure and whether new or upgraded infrastructure is required; and drainage and water quality Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would be installed as part of the project for both construction and long-term operations.
Land Use and Planning Programs. Kimley-Horn will describe the existing on-site and surrounding land uses based on our site visit; review of aerial photographs; and information available in City land use plans and documentation.
The proposed project requires a zone change on a portion of the site from C-M to MP-100-ES. With the rezone, the entirety of the site would be zoned MP-100. The pr oject is consistent with the Industrial General Plan designation. Because the project is not regionally significant, a detailed discussion of regional planning programs is not required.
7 The land use section will focus on direct land use impacts associated with physical changes to the project site and surrounding area resulting from project implementation. Land use incompatibility can occur where differences between nearby uses result in environmental conditions such that project-related impacts impede use of the existing land uses as they were intended. Kimley-Horn will evaluate the compatibility/appropriateness of the development with the surrounding land uses to determine the potential for environmental impacts.
Mineral Resources. The site does not contain known local or State-designated mineral resources or locally important mineral resource recovery sites. A citation from the Department of Conservation California Geological Survey will be provided in the Initial Study.
Population and Housing. Based on the significance criteria set forth in the CEQA checklist, the analysis will substantiate that the project would induce “substantial” unplanned growth or displace “substantial numbers” of people or housing. Because the proposed use is consistent with the existing land use designation and is currently developed with office and industrial business uses, non-residential development would have already been accounted for in The Fullerton Plan, and that future employment and indirect population growth as a result of the project is not considered unplanned.
Public Services and Recreation: Fire and Polic e Protection, Schools, and Parks and Recreation. Kimley-Horn will assess potential impacts to public services through coor dination with the City and use of readily available information. An analysis of information provided by these departments will be incorporated into the Initial Study and mitigation will be provided, if necessary. The project site is bordered by urban development and within an existing public service area. Impacts are expected to be less than significant. Further, the proposed project would be subject to payment of developer impa ct fees to the Fullerton School Dist rict and impacts to school facilities would be less than significant.
Transportation. All threshold questions on the CEQA Environmental Checklist will be addressed. The results of the NOCC+ will be incorporated into the section to address VMT.
Utilities and Service Systems: Water, Wastewater Treatment, Storm Water Drainage, Electrical Power, Natural Gas, Telecommunications Facilities, and Solid Waste. Kimley-Horn will address potential impacts pursuant to the CEQA Checklist. Generation and use will be identified based on available wet and dry utilities information provided by the Applicant and available from the City. This Scope of Services assumes that the Applicant will provide sufficient information to evaluate on-site and off-site improvements associated in frastructure improvements. We will coordinate with the City to determine the adequacy of existing infrastructure to accommodate the proposed project. The project site, which is developed, is assume d to be connected to existing utility infrastructure. No significant impacts are expected. Energy consumption rela ted to electricity and nature gas demand, the latter if applicable, will reference the findings evaluated in the Energy section.
Revised Administrative Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration Following review by the City of the Administrative Draft Initial Study, Kimley-Horn will respond to one reconciled set of comments. The revised document will be provided to the City in a version that shows all revisions in track-change for ease of review. If substantial new analysis is requested that has not been previously prepared/considered in the Initial Study and/or substant ive changes to the Project Description are required to address comments from the City or Applicant, use of the contingency budget would be required.
Kimley-Horn will prepare the Printcheck IS/MND for distribution and public review. Because the project would not impact a resource for which a State agency is a trustee or responsible agency, nor is the project of regional significance, a 20-day public review period is assumed.
8 Distribution and Noticing
Kimley-Horn will prepare four printed copies of the IS/M ND with technical appendices on a USB for use by the City. Kimley-Horn will also draft the Notice of Availability/ Notice of Intent and be responsible for the distribution of the notice based on a City-provided mailing list. Th e notice will be distributed via certified mail to any responsible agencies and by regular mail to interested parties, community groups, and individuals. Per the RFP, the City will file the notice with the County Clerk-Recorder and upload documentation to the State Clearinghouse website. The City will be responsible for any site postings and/or submit the notice to the newspaper for publication.
Responses to Comments
Kimley-Horn will prepare responses to relevant enviro nmental comments received on the IS/MND during the public review period. A draft Responses to Comments Memorandum will be submitted to the City for review. This task assumes one reconciled set of comments from the City on the draft Responses to Comments Memorandum.
Kimley-Horn will revise the Memorandum and resubmit in track-change for ea se of review. This Scope of Work assumes 24 technical hours; additional effort because of the complexity or number of comments would be subject to use of the contingency budget.
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Kimley-Horn will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Re porting Program (MMRP) consistent with the City’s standard format to identify appropriate monitoring step s/procedures and to provide a basis for monitoring such measures during and upon project implementation. If mo difications are made during the public hearings that modify the conditions of approval/mitigation measures for the project, Kimley-Horn will revise the MMRP.
However, substantial modifications are not assumed.
Notice of Determination
Following the City’s adoption of the IS/MND and approval of the project, Kimley-Horn will prepare the Notice of Determination (NOD). Per the RFP, the City will file the NOD with the County Clerk-Recorder and the State Clearinghouse. This Scope of Work includes the payment of County filing fees and California Department of Fish and Wildlife fees by the Applicant.
Task 4 ─ Project Management, Meetings, and Hearings
Ms. Dana Privitt will serve as the Project Director re sponsible for supervision of the Kimley-Horn team and documentation review for compliance with CEQA requirements and guidelines and City CEQA procedures. Project management responsibilities include task scheduling and assignment, contract administration and accounting, and coordination and communications wi th the Client and City. Dana will maintain weekly communication to ensure compliance with the Scope of Work, budget, and schedule, and to disseminate project information in a timely manner. Ms. Privitt will participate in project meetings/conference calls, including the kickoff meeting, and four public hearings (preparation and attendance).
