ORDINANCE NO. 24-07
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HANFORD CITY COUNCIL APPROVING REZONE NO. 0001-23, A REQUEST TO REZONE A FIVE-ACRE PROJECT SITE
FROM C-N NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO MX-N NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE. THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF GRANGEVILLE BOULEVARD AND CENTENNIAL DRIVE (APN 009-030-142).
Section 1: The following described territory situated in the City of Hanford is hereby zoned under the terms of Chapter 17.86 of the Hanford Municipal Code:
Rezone No. 0001-23 filed by the Scott Vincent, on behalf of Ajmer Nahal, FROM: City C-N Neighborhood Commercial
TO: City MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use
On property described as follows:
Approximately 5 acres, located on the northwest intersection of Grangeville Boulevard and Centennial Drive (APN 009-030-142), as depicted in attached Exhibit A; and Section 2: The Council does hereby find as a fact that the Planning Commission of the City of Hanford held a public hearing on June 25, 2024 after notice required by Section 17.70.110 of the Hanford Municipal Code and Government Code Section 65854. The City Council finds that Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-57 (SCH # 2024050798) and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, depicted in attached Exhibit B, are approved in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council hereby finds that the rezoning is consistent with the objectives of the zoning regulations as set forth in Section 17.86 of the Hanford Municipal Code, and that this Ordinance has been introduced by the City Council after public hearing held on the 6th day of August 2024 at 7:00 p.m. of said day after notice required under the provisions of Section 65856 of the Government Code.
Section 3: That pursuant to Section 17.86.030, the City Council of the City of Hanford makes the following findings:
Rezone No. 0001-23
1. That the amendment is internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and the Municipal Code.
Analysis: That General Plan Amendment and Rezone No. 0001-23 are internally consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, specifically consistent with Policy L11, L27, L42-46, L60-64, H67, L107, L109, L135, L137, and Goals L2, L3, L6, L7, L15-18 (as described in the General Plan Amendment section, above). All regulations pertaining to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district will be enforced as development occurs and through the Site Plan Review process, except as expressly modified by the Planned Unit Development.
2. The amendment would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare of the community.
Analysis: That this application has been reviewed by County departments, utility companies, City Fire Department, City Building Department, and other involved departments. Any mitigation required for public health and safety were applied to the proposal and required in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program and through conditions of approval.
3. The amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.
Analysis: That jobs-housing balance is achieved by increasing opportunities for people to work and live in close proximity. The ratio is expressed as the number of jobs divided by the number of housing units. The jobs-housing balance is a general tool for analyzing where people work, where they live, and how effectively they can travel between the two. In the planning area, the jobshousing balance ratio in 2013-2014 was 1.17. It is estimated that the implementation of the General Plan would increase the jobs-housing balance by 0.45 to 1.62, which would make the planning area a jobs-rich area. The proposal to change the designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use will impact the job-housing balance projected by increasing the number of residential units in the area. The addition of the residential units to the formerly commercial designation will not affect the City’s ability to maintain an appropriate balance of land uses within the City, as the increase in housing will bring more residential units to the jobs-rich planning area.
4. The anticipated land uses on the subject site would be compatible with existing and future surrounding uses.
Analysis: That the uses proposed for the site include a combination of multi-family residential and future commercial uses, anticipated to be a service station and a drive-thru restaurant. The uses proposed are compatible with the existing single- and multi-family residential uses in the surrounding area. Future use of the commercial portion of the site will carry out the goal to provide day-to-day conveniences in close proximity to residential uses, in order to reduce vehicle miles travel and provide convenience.
The project will be developed in conformance with the MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use zone district regulations, except where expressly modified by the variance and planned unit development applications.
Section 4: This ordinance shall take effect (30) days after its passage, and be published once in the Hanford Sentinel within fifteen (15) days after its passage or a summary of this ordinance shall be published in the Hanford Sentinel in a manner consistent with the requirements of the California Government Code.

Lead Agency
MM BIO-1: A pre-construction clearance
survey of the Project footprint shall be
conducted for special-status wildlife species
and nesting migratory birds and raptors. The
survey shall occur no less than 14-30 days
prior to the start of construction activities. If
construction is delayed beyond 30 days from
the time of the survey, then another survey
must be conducted. The survey shall be
conducted by a biologist with adequate
training and prior experience conducting
surveys for special-status wildlife species. If no
special-status species are observed, no further
action is warranted. If dens or burrows that
could support special-status species and/or
nesting birds are discovered during the preconstruction survey, appropriate avoidance buffers should be established. A report
outlining the results of the clearance survey
shall be provided to the Lead Agency as
evidence of compliance.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-2: If construction is planned during
the nesting season for migratory birds
(February 15 to August 31) and nesting birds
are identified during the survey, active
Swainson’s hawk nest shall be avoided by 0.5
miles, other raptor nests shall be avoided by
500 feet and all other migratory bird nests
shall be avoided by 250 feet. Avoidance buffers
may be reduced if a qualified biological
monitor determines that encroachment into
the buffer area is not affecting nest building,
the rearing of young, or otherwise affecting the
breeding behaviors of the resident birds.
Because nesting birds can establish new nests
or produce a second or even third clutch at any
time during the nesting season, nesting bird
surveys shall be repeated every 30 days as
construction activities are occurring
throughout the nesting season.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-3: If an active Swainson’s hawk nest is
discovered at any time within 0.5 miles of
active construction, a qualified biologist shall
complete an assessment of the potential for
current construction activities to impact the
nest. The assessment would consider the type
of construction activities, the location of
construction relative to the nest, the visibility
of construction activities from the nest
location, and other existing disturbances in the
area that are not related to the construction
activities of this Project. Based on this
assessment, the biologist will determine if
construction activities can proceed and the
level of nest monitoring required.
Construction activities shall not occur within
500 feet of an active nest, but depending on
conditions at the site, this distance may be
reduced. Full-time monitoring to evaluate the
effects of construction activities on nesting
Swainson’s hawks may be required. The
qualified biologist shall have the authority to
stop work if it is determined that Project
construction is disturbing the nest. These
buffers may need to increase depending on the
During
construction
Lead Agency
sensitivity of the nesting Swainson’s hawk to
disturbances and at the discretion of the
qualified biologist.
MM BIO-4: Prior to the initiation of
construction activities, all personnel shall
attend a Worker Environmental Awareness
Training program developed by a qualified
biologist. The program shall include
information on the life histories of specialstatus species with the potential to occur on the Project, their legal status, the course of
action shall these species be encountered
onsite, and avoidance and minimization
measures to protect these species.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-5: Project-related vehicles should
observe a 20-mph speed limit in all Project
areas, except on county roads and state and
federal highways. Off-road traffic outside of
designated Project areas should be prohibited.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-6: All trash and food items should be
discarded into closed containers and properly
disposed of at the end of each workday.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-7: To prevent harassment or
mortality of listed species, no pets should be
permitted on the Project site during Project
construction.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-1: If prehistoric or historic-era
cultural materials are encountered during
construction activities, all work in the
immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a
qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find
and make recommendations. If the qualified
archaeologist determines that the discovery
represents a potentially significant cultural
resource, additional investigations may be
required to mitigate adverse impacts from
Project implementation. These additional
studies may include avoidance, testing, and
evaluation or data recovery excavation.
Cultural resource materials may include
During
construction
Lead Agency
prehistoric resources such as flaked and
ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone,
ceramics, fire-affected rock, and historic
resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or
structural remnants. Implementation of the
mitigation measure below would ensure that
the proposed Project would not cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource.
MM CUL-2: Prior to any ground disturbance, if
the City of Hanford receives a request from a
Native American tribal group, a surface
inspection of the site shall be conducted by a
tribal monitor. The tribal staff shall provide
pre-Project-related activities briefings to
supervisory personnel and any excavation
contractor, including information on potential
cultural material, finds, and any excavation
contractor, which will include information on
potential cultural material finds, and the
procedures be enacted if resources are found.
The tribal cultural staff shall monitor the site
during grading activities.
Prior to any ground disturbance, the applicant
shall offer the tribe the opportunity to provide
a Native American Monitor during grounddisturbing activities. Tribal participation would be dependent upon the availability and
interest of the tribe.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-3: That a Burial Treatment Plan be
entered into by the applicant/developer prior
to any earth-disturbing activities.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-4: If human remains are discovered
during construction or operational activities,
further excavation or disturbance shall be
prohibited pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the
California Health and Safety Code. The specific

compliance with applicable development
standards under the California Building Code.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM GEO-2: Prior to issuing of grading or
building permits, if required, (a) the Project
applicant shall submit to the Lead Agency (1)
the approved Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and (2) the Notice of
Intent (NOI) to comply with the General
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) from the Central Valley
Regional Water Quality Control Board. The
requirements of the SWPPP and NPDES shall
be incorporated into design specifications and
construction contracts. Recommended best
management practices for the construction

• Managing waste, aggressively
controlling litter, and implementing
sediment controls.
• Evidence of the approved SWPPP shall
be submitted to the Lead Agency.
MM GEO-3: If any paleontological resources
are encountered during ground-disturbance
activities, all work within 25 feet of the find
shall halt until a qualified paleontologist, as
defined by the Society of Vertebrate
Paleontology Standard Procedures for the
Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts
to Paleontological Resources (2010), can
evaluate the find and make recommendations
regarding treatment. Paleontological resource
materials may include resources such as
fossils, plant impressions, or animal tracks
preserved in rock. The qualified paleontologist
shall contact the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County or another appropriate
facility regarding any discoveries of
paleontological resources.
If the qualified paleontologist determines that
the discovery represents a potentially
significant paleontological resource,
additional investigations and fossil recovery
may be required to mitigate adverse impacts
from Project implementation. If avoidance is
not feasible, the paleontological resources
shall be evaluated for their significance. If the
resources are not significant, avoidance is not
necessary. If the resources are significant, they
shall be avoided to ensure no adverse effects,
or such effects must be mitigated.
Construction in that area shall not resume
until the resource-appropriate measures are
recommended or the materials are
determined to be less than significant. If the
resource is significant and fossil recovery is
the identified form of treatment, then the fossil
shall be deposited in an accredited and
permanent scientific institution. Copies of all

MM BIO-1: A pre-construction clearance
survey of the Project footprint shall be
conducted for special-status wildlife species
and nesting migratory birds and raptors. The
survey shall occur no less than 14-30 days
prior to the start of construction activities. If
construction is delayed beyond 30 days from
the time of the survey, then another survey
must be conducted. The survey shall be
conducted by a biologist with adequate
training and prior experience conducting
surveys for special-status wildlife species. If no
special-status species are observed, no further
action is warranted. If dens or burrows that
could support special-status species and/or
nesting birds are discovered during the preconstruction survey, appropriate avoidance buffers should be established. A report
outlining the results of the clearance survey
shall be provided to the Lead Agency as
evidence of compliance.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-2: If construction is planned during
the nesting season for migratory birds
(February 15 to August 31) and nesting birds
are identified during the survey, active
Swainson’s hawk nest shall be avoided by 0.5
miles, other raptor nests shall be avoided by
500 feet and all other migratory bird nests
shall be avoided by 250 feet. Avoidance buffers
may be reduced if a qualified biological
monitor determines that encroachment into
the buffer area is not affecting nest building,
the rearing of young, or otherwise affecting the
breeding behaviors of the resident birds.
Because nesting birds can establish new nests
or produce a second or even third clutch at any
time during the nesting season, nesting bird
surveys shall be repeated every 30 days as
construction activities are occurring
throughout the nesting season.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-3: If an active Swainson’s hawk nest is
discovered at any time within 0.5 miles of
active construction, a qualified biologist shall
complete an assessment of the potential for
current construction activities to impact the
nest. The assessment would consider the type
of construction activities, the location of
construction relative to the nest, the visibility
of construction activities from the nest
location, and other existing disturbances in the
area that are not related to the construction
activities of this Project. Based on this
assessment, the biologist will determine if
construction activities can proceed and the
level of nest monitoring required.
Construction activities shall not occur within
500 feet of an active nest, but depending on
conditions at the site, this distance may be
reduced. Full-time monitoring to evaluate the
effects of construction activities on nesting
Swainson’s hawks may be required. The
qualified biologist shall have the authority to
stop work if it is determined that Project
construction is disturbing the nest. These
buffers may need to increase depending on the
During
construction
Lead Agency
sensitivity of the nesting Swainson’s hawk to
disturbances and at the discretion of the
qualified biologist.
MM BIO-4: Prior to the initiation of
construction activities, all personnel shall
attend a Worker Environmental Awareness
Training program developed by a qualified
biologist. The program shall include
information on the life histories of specialstatus species with the potential to occur on the Project, their legal status, the course of
action shall these species be encountered
onsite, and avoidance and minimization
measures to protect these species.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-5: Project-related vehicles should
observe a 20-mph speed limit in all Project
areas, except on county roads and state and
federal highways. Off-road traffic outside of
designated Project areas should be prohibited.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-6: All trash and food items should be
discarded into closed containers and properly
disposed of at the end of each workday.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-7: To prevent harassment or
mortality of listed species, no pets should be
permitted on the Project site during Project
construction.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-1: If prehistoric or historic-era
cultural materials are encountered during
construction activities, all work in the
immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a
qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find
and make recommendations. If the qualified
archaeologist determines that the discovery
represents a potentially significant cultural
resource, additional investigations may be
required to mitigate adverse impacts from
Project implementation. These additional
studies may include avoidance, testing, and
evaluation or data recovery excavation.
Cultural resource materials may include
During
construction
Lead Agency
prehistoric resources such as flaked and
ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone,
ceramics, fire-affected rock, and historic
resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or
structural remnants. Implementation of the
mitigation measure below would ensure that
the proposed Project would not cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource.
MM CUL-2: Prior to any ground disturbance, if
the City of Hanford receives a request from a
Native American tribal group, a surface
inspection of the site shall be conducted by a
tribal monitor. The tribal staff shall provide
pre-Project-related activities briefings to
supervisory personnel and any excavation
contractor, including information on potential
cultural material, finds, and any excavation
contractor, which will include information on
potential cultural material finds, and the
procedures be enacted if resources are found.
The tribal cultural staff shall monitor the site
during grading activities.
Prior to any ground disturbance, the applicant
shall offer the tribe the opportunity to provide
a Native American Monitor during grounddisturbing activities. Tribal participation would be dependent upon the availability and
interest of the tribe.
Prior to

MM CUL-3: That a Burial Treatment Plan be
entered into by the applicant/developer prior
to any earth-disturbing activities.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-4: If human remains are discovered
during construction or operational activities,
further excavation or disturbance shall be
prohibited pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the

7050.5(c) shall guide the potential Native
American involvement, in the event of the
discovery of human remains, at the direction
of the county coroner.
MM ENG-1: The Project proponent and its
contractors shall comply with applicable
California Title 24 CalGreen Code which can
include but not be limited to inclusion of solar
ready rooftops, double pane windows, electric
vehicle charging, use of LED lights, the use of

MM GEO-3: If any paleontological resources
are encountered during ground-disturbance
activities, all work within 25 feet of the find
shall halt until a qualified paleontologist, as
defined by the Society of Vertebrate
Paleontology Standard Procedures for the
Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts
to Paleontological Resources (2010), can
evaluate the find and make recommendations
regarding treatment. Paleontological resource
materials may include resources such as
fossils, plant impressions, or animal tracks
preserved in rock. The qualified paleontologist
shall contact the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County or another appropriate
facility regarding any discoveries of
paleontological resources.
If the qualified paleontologist determines that
the discovery represents a potentially
significant paleontological resource,
additional investigations and fossil recovery
may be required to mitigate adverse impacts
from Project implementation. If avoidance is
not feasible, the paleontological resources
shall be evaluated for their significance. If the
resources are not significant, avoidance is not
necessary. If the resources are significant, they
shall be avoided to ensure no adverse effects,
or such effects must be mitigated.
Construction in that area shall not resume
until the resource-appropriate measures are
recommended or the materials are
determined to be less than significant. If the
resource is significant and fossil recovery is
the identified form of treatment, then the fossil
shall be deposited in an accredited and
permanent scientific institution. Copies of all

RESOLUTION 24-31-R
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HANFORD APPROVING VARIANCE NO. 0009-23, A REQUEST TO DEVIATE FROM THE STANDARDS OF SECTION
17.24.130 OF THE HANFORD MUNICIPAL CODE, TO ELIMINATE THE BLOCK WALL
REQUIREMENT BETWEEN AN EXISTING APARTMENT COMPLEX AND A PROPOSED
APARTMENT COMPLEX AND PROVIDE A SLATED CHAIN LINK FENCING BETWEEN THE PROPOSED APARTMENT COMPLEX AND A CITY BASIN. THE PROJECT IS
LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF GRANGEVILLE BOUELVARD AND CENTENNIAL DRIVE (APN 009-030-142)
At a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Hanford duly called and held August 6, 2024, by motion of Councilmember , and seconded by Councilmember , and duly carried, the following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, Variance No. 0009-23, a request to deviate from the standards of Section 17.24.130 of the Hanford Municipal Code, to eliminate the block wall requirement between an existing apartment complex and a proposed apartment complex and provide a slated chain link fencing between the proposed apartment complex and a City basin, has been reviewed by the City Council of the City of Hanford in accordance with Title 17 of the Hanford Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, the site will be developed, as shown in Site Plan Review No. 0040-24 as shown in Exhibit A and subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit B; and WHEREAS, the City Council has carefully considered recommendations and testimony presented at the public hearing of August 6, 2024, and
WHEREAS, all affected public utility companies, various governmental department agencies, staff, and the City Council, have given careful consideration to this planned unit development and have made recommendations thereon; and
WHEREAS, the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-57, and all notices related thereto were prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City of Hanford Municipal Code and Policies; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has made the following findings, pursuant to Section 17.84.050 Hanford’s Zoning Ordinance:
Variance No. 0009-23
1. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, are such that the strict application deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity that are in the same zone district; ANALYSIS: That the special circumstance applicable to the property is its surroundings. The project site is proposed to be developed as a mixed-use development with multi-family and future commercial development. There are various examples of a block wall not provided between multifamily developments. Similarly, there are examples of the a block wall not provided between a City basin and multi-family, including the project site to the north, Berkshire Crossings.
2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the vicinity and that are in the same zone district and denied to the property for which the variance is sought;
ANALYSIS: That the variance is necessary in order to keep the same fence that exists on and connects to neighboring properties. The block wall requirement denies this property the ability to enjoy the right to have a fence, a substantial property right possessed by a property in the vicinity, as demonstrated through the variance analysis, the block wall will not impact the sites ability to provide for separation of uses, privacy, buffer, and noise reduction between uses.
3. That the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and that are in the same zone district in which the property is located;
ANALYSIS: That allowance of the variance to remove the requirement of the block wall will not create a safety hazard. There is a fence existing between the basin and future multi-family site which provides a physical barrier between the site and the basin. There is a wrought-iron fence between the existing multi-family apartment complex, Berkshire Crossings, and the future multifamily portion of the mixed use site. The allowance of the variance is not materially detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and that are in the same zone district in which the property is located. The goals of providing a block wall, to provide privacy and physical separation, can be achieved by maintaining the existing sixfoot, slatted, chain-link fence along the basin and the wrought iron fence near the apartment complex to the north.
Variance No. 0009-23
4. That the variance does not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and that are in the same land use district in which such property is located; ANALYSIS: As demonstrated through the Variance analysis, there are examples of a block wall not provided between multi-family uses and between a basin and multi-family.
Example 1: Conquistador and Rodgers Road
Variance No. 0009-23
Example 2: Greenfield Avenue
Example 3: Apartment and Basin, no block wall provided
Variance No. 0009-23
5. That the variance does not allow a use or activity which is prohibited in the zone district where the property is located;
ANALYSIS: That the proposed use of a mixed-use development for a multi-family apartment complex and future commercial site is permitted in the MX-N zone district. Removing the block wall will not allow a use or activity which is prohibited in the zone district.
6. That the variance is consistent with the purposes of this title; ANALYSIS: That in accordance with Section 17.84.010, the purpose of a variance is to allow deviations from the development standards of the Hanford Municipal Code when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical conditions, the strict application of the standards denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and in the same zoning district.
The special circumstance applicable to the property is its surroundings. Other developments abutting a basin do not provide for a block wall, such as Berkshire Crossings to the north, directly abutting the project site. Additionally, there are examples of no block wall existing between multifamily sites. The block wall requirement denies this property a privilege that other properties in the vicinity enjoy.
7. That the variance will be consistent with the General Plan.
ANALYSIS: That the General Plan has been reviewed, and the granting of this variance would be consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council finds that no significant environmental impacts would result from the proposed project with the incorporation of mitigation measures, adopts a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, attached as Exhibit C, and certifies that Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-57 was prepared consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines and City of Hanford Environmental Guidelines.
Variance No. 0009-23
THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Hanford hereby approves Variance No. 0009-23, subject to the conditions of approval, attached as Exhibit B, and the following:
Expiration: The initial life and subsequent extensions of time for a variance or minor deviation shall be per Chapter 17.70, except that when any variance that is approved in conjunction with a tentative subdivision map or parcel map pursuant to Title 16 the variance or minor deviation shall not expire unless the tentative subdivision map or parcel map also expires, and an extension of the tentative subdivision map or parcel shall be deemed to be an extension of the variance or minor deviation.

MM BIO-1: A pre-construction clearance
survey of the Project footprint shall be
conducted for special-status wildlife species
and nesting migratory birds and raptors. The
survey shall occur no less than 14-30 days
prior to the start of construction activities. If
construction is delayed beyond 30 days from
the time of the survey, then another survey
must be conducted. The survey shall be
conducted by a biologist with adequate
training and prior experience conducting
surveys for special-status wildlife species. If no
special-status species are observed, no further
action is warranted. If dens or burrows that
could support special-status species and/or
nesting birds are discovered during the preconstruction survey, appropriate avoidance buffers should be established. A report
outlining the results of the clearance survey
shall be provided to the Lead Agency as
evidence of compliance.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-2: If construction is planned during
the nesting season for migratory birds
(February 15 to August 31) and nesting birds
are identified during the survey, active
Swainson’s hawk nest shall be avoided by 0.5
miles, other raptor nests shall be avoided by
500 feet and all other migratory bird nests
shall be avoided by 250 feet. Avoidance buffers
may be reduced if a qualified biological
monitor determines that encroachment into
the buffer area is not affecting nest building,
the rearing of young, or otherwise affecting the
breeding behaviors of the resident birds.
Because nesting birds can establish new nests
or produce a second or even third clutch at any
time during the nesting season, nesting bird
surveys shall be repeated every 30 days as
construction activities are occurring
throughout the nesting season.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-3: If an active Swainson’s hawk nest is
discovered at any time within 0.5 miles of
active construction, a qualified biologist shall
complete an assessment of the potential for
current construction activities to impact the
nest. The assessment would consider the type
of construction activities, the location of
construction relative to the nest, the visibility
of construction activities from the nest
location, and other existing disturbances in the
area that are not related to the construction
activities of this Project. Based on this
assessment, the biologist will determine if
construction activities can proceed and the
level of nest monitoring required.
Construction activities shall not occur within
500 feet of an active nest, but depending on
conditions at the site, this distance may be
reduced. Full-time monitoring to evaluate the
effects of construction activities on nesting
Swainson’s hawks may be required. The
qualified biologist shall have the authority to
stop work if it is determined that Project
construction is disturbing the nest. These
buffers may need to increase depending on the
During
construction
Lead Agency
sensitivity of the nesting Swainson’s hawk to
disturbances and at the discretion of the
qualified biologist.
MM BIO-4: Prior to the initiation of
construction activities, all personnel shall
attend a Worker Environmental Awareness
Training program developed by a qualified
biologist. The program shall include
information on the life histories of specialstatus species with the potential to occur on the Project, their legal status, the course of
action shall these species be encountered
onsite, and avoidance and minimization
measures to protect these species.
Prior to
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-5: Project-related vehicles should
observe a 20-mph speed limit in all Project
areas, except on county roads and state and
federal highways. Off-road traffic outside of
designated Project areas should be prohibited.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-6: All trash and food items should be
discarded into closed containers and properly
disposed of at the end of each workday.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM BIO-7: To prevent harassment or
mortality of listed species, no pets should be
permitted on the Project site during Project
construction.
During
construction
Lead Agency
MM CUL-1: If prehistoric or historic-era
cultural materials are encountered during
construction activities, all work in the
immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a
qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find
and make recommendations. If the qualified
archaeologist determines that the discovery
represents a potentially significant cultural
resource, additional investigations may be
required to mitigate adverse impacts from
Project implementation. These additional
studies may include avoidance, testing, and
evaluation or data recovery excavation.
Cultural resource materials may include
During
construction
Lead Agency
prehistoric resources such as flaked and
ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone,
ceramics, fire-affected rock, and historic
resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or
structural remnants. Implementation of the
mitigation measure below would ensure that
the proposed Project would not cause a
substantial adverse change in the significance
of a historical resource.
MM CUL-2: Prior to any ground disturbance, if
the City of Hanford receives a request from a
Native American tribal group, a surface
inspection of the site shall be conducted by a
tribal monitor. The tribal staff shall provide
pre-Project-related activities briefings to
supervisory personnel and any excavation
contractor, including information on potential
cultural material, finds, and any excavation
contractor, which will include information on
potential cultural material finds, and the
procedures be enacted if resources are found.
The tribal cultural staff shall monitor the site
during grading activities.
Prior to any ground disturbance, the applicant
shall offer the tribe the opportunity to provide
a Native American Monitor during grounddisturbing activities. Tribal participation would be dependent upon the availability and
interest of the tribe.

MM GEO-3: If any paleontological resources
are encountered during ground-disturbance
activities, all work within 25 feet of the find
shall halt until a qualified paleontologist, as
defined by the Society of Vertebrate
Paleontology Standard Procedures for the
Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts
to Paleontological Resources (2010), can
evaluate the find and make recommendations
regarding treatment. Paleontological resource
materials may include resources such as
fossils, plant impressions, or animal tracks
preserved in rock. The qualified paleontologist
shall contact the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County or another appropriate
facility regarding any discoveries of
paleontological resources.
If the qualified paleontologist determines that
the discovery represents a potentially
significant paleontological resource,
additional investigations and fossil recovery
may be required to mitigate adverse impacts
from Project implementation. If avoidance is
not feasible, the paleontological resources
shall be evaluated for their significance. If the
resources are not significant, avoidance is not
necessary. If the resources are significant, they
shall be avoided to ensure no adverse effects,
or such effects must be mitigated.
Construction in that area shall not resume
until the resource-appropriate measures are
recommended or the materials are
determined to be less than significant. If the
resource is significant and fossil recovery is

PUBLIC HEARING:
A. Community Development: PROJECT: General Plan Amendment No. 0001-23: a request to change the general plan designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Neighborhood Mixed Use on 5-acres. Rezone No. 0001-23: a request to change the zoning from C-N Neighborhood Commercial to MX-N Neighborhood Mixed Use on a 5-acre site with a Planned Unit Development overlay. Planned Unit Development No. 0036-24: a request to allow cross-access, shared driveways, and application of mixed-use standards to permit a vertical mixed-use development. Variance No. 0009-23: a request to deviate from the standards of Section 17.24.130 of the Hanford Municipal Code, to eliminate the block wall requirement between an existing apartment complex and a proposed apartment complex and provide a slated chain link fencing between the proposed apartment complex and a City basin. The Project site is located northwest of the intersection of Grangeville Boulevard and Centennial Drive in the City of Hanford, Kings County, California (APN) 009-030-142. The project requires recommendation of certification of Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-57 (SCH# 2024050798) for the project to the City Council, demonstrating the project will have a less than significant impact on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures.
Chair NORRIS opened the public hearing and called for the staff report.
Senior Planner Myers presented the staff report, recommended approval, and invited questions of staff.
Vice-Chair HAM, referring to the lower section of the map on page 17 of the agenda packet, asked if that was the proposed commercial area. Ms. Myers replied that it is the commercial section and will be Phase 2 of the project. He also had a question about the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program information. Ms. Myers replied that it is formatted differently, but the information is the same.
Commissioner CURTIS:
• Asked why the General Plan map for the area and the agenda packet map color are not the same. Ms. Myers:
They are different maps for different processes, and she explained the difference between General Plan density and what is shown on the packet map.
• Will this be low-income housing? Ms. Myers: It will be market-value. • Is this just apartments, or will there be single-family homes? Ms. Myers: It will be all apartments.
Chair NORRIS opened Public Comment:
IN FAVOR
Scott Vincent, designer for the project, noted that the owners and the preparer were in attendance. He noted that the project location makes for good neighbors. They do not have a tenant yet for the commercial portion, and that is why they declared Phase 2. He also confirmed that the apartments will be market rate.
Commissioner CURTIS asked if they have a timeframe for completion of the project. Mr. Vincent replied that it could be
this fall, depending on the weather.
OPPOSED
None.
There being no further questions or comments, Chair NORRIS closed Public Comment and the public hearing and called for a motion.

GENERAL BUSINESS:
A. Community Development: Presentation on the Roles and Responsibilities of the Hanford Planning Commission
Director Waters provided an overview of the roles and responsibilities of the Planning Commission, with emphasis on what is, and what is not, in the purview of the Commission.
Senior Planner Myers added that the City cannot stop growth. We provide reports to the State Housing & Community
Development Department (HCD) annually, showing each stage of the process. Staff is dedicated to providing that information to the State. She also reminded the Commissioners that if they vote against a project for which staff has been able to make the findings, they must explain why a finding(s) cannot be made.
City Attorney Mizote stressed the importance of the findings, stating that they are all found in the laws--the Hanford Municipal Code or the Government Code. He stated that, if everything in the agenda packet supports the findings, the applicant is entitled to approval of the project. If the Planning Commission votes "No", they must include in the motion the reason why it does not meet the findings. If they vote "No" and it does meet the findings, it could open the City up to challenge or litigation by the applicant.
Mr. Mizote also strongly cautioned the Commissioners against questioning whether or not a multi-family project will be affordable housing. Whether it is or is not affordable housing is not a basis of approval. Director Waters added if HCD sees that the City has not approved any affordable housing, they will check to see why.
Vice-Chair HAM stated he thought there was going to be a Planning Commissioner's Handbook, similar to the City Council Handbook. Director Waters replied that he is not sure where that is in the process but will check on it.
Commissioner CURTIS heard there was a new law that speeds up the process of building new homes. Director Waters referred to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) as an example. The state passed several laws that require cities to approve ADUs within a certain time limit. He added that new laws are being added continually, to provide greater opportunity for houses to be built.
Chair NORRIS mentioned that a developer has to be available to come in and build it.
Director Waters stated that the Planning Commission will see the Housing Element, and HCD is really scrutinizing Housing Elements.
DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS:
Commissioner CURTIS asked if there any updates regarding the High Speed Rail project. Director Waters announced that the City has selected a consultant for the Transit-Oriented Development project near the High Speed Rail. There will be some meetings, probably also with the Planning Commission. High Speed Rail will be involved in the process.
Commissioner DOUGLAS thanked Director Waters for the information, adding that staff has always been available to answer his calls.
COMMISSIONERS' ITEMS OF INTEREST:
At this time, any Commissioner may ask a question for clarification of matters within the Planning Commission’s jurisdiction, make an announcement, or report briefly on activities in their role as a Planning Commissioner. In addition, subject to the Planning Commissioner’s Handbook, Commissioners may request staff to report back to the Planning Commission at a subsequent meeting concerning any matter within the Commissioner’s jurisdiction (GC 54954.2).
None.
ADJOURNMENT:
Materials related to an item on this Agenda submitted to the Planning Commission after distribution of the agenda packet are available to public inspection in the Planning Division Office located at 317 N.

Findings
As Lead Agency, the City of Hanford finds that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Checklist (CEQA Guidelines Appendix G) or Initial Study (IS) (see Section 3 - Environmental Checklist) identified one or more potentially significant effects on the environment, but revisions to the Project have been made before the release of this Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), or mitigation measures would be implemented that reduce all potentially significant impacts less-than-significant levels. The Lead Agency further finds that there is no substantial evidence that this Project would have a significant effect on the environment.
Mitigation Measures Included in the Project to Avoid Potentially Significant Effects
MM AQ-1: The project shall continuously comply with the following: Construction and operation of the project shall be conducted in compliance with applicable rules and regulations set forth by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. Dust control measures outlines below shall be implemented where they are applicable and feasible. The list shall not be considered all inclusive, and any other measures to reduce fugitive dust emissions not listed shall be encouraged.
Mitigated Negative Declaration
Grangeville Multi-Use Project May 2024
City of Hanford Page 3
a. Land Preparation Excavation and/or Demolition. The following dust control measures shall be implemented.
a. All soil excavated or graded shall be sufficiently watered to prevent excessive dust. Watering shall occur as needed with complete coverage of disturbed soil areas. Watering shall take place a minimum of twice daily on unpaved/untreated roads and on disturbed soil areas with active operations. b. All fine material transported off site shall be either sufficiently watered or securely covered to prevent excessive dust.
c. Areas disturbed by clearing, earth moving, or excavation activities shall be minimized at all times.
d. Stockpiles of dirt or other fine loose material shall be stabilized by watering or other appropriate method to prevent wind-blown fugitive dust. b. Site Construction: After clearing, grading, earth moving and/or excavation is completed within any portion of the project sites, the following dust control practices shall be implemented.
1. All active disturbed soil areas shall be sufficiently watered at least twice daily or have dust palliatives applied to prevent excessive dust. c. Vehicular Activities: During all phases of construction, the following vehicular control measures shall be implemented.
1. Onsite vehicle speeds shall be limited to 15 miles per hour.
2. All areas with vehicle traffic shall be paved, treated with dust palliatives or watered a minimum of twice daily.
3. Streets adjacent to the project sites shall be kept clean, and project-related accumulated silt shall be removed.
4. Access to the project sites shall be by means of an apron into the project sites from adjoining surfaced roadways. The aprons shall be surfaced or treated with dust palliatives. If operating on soils that cling to the wheels of vehicles, a grizzly, wheel washer, or other such device shall be used on the road exiting the project sites, immediately prior to the pavement, in order to remove most of the soil material from vehicle tires.
MM AQ-2: The project shall continuously comply with the following: The project proponent and/or its contractors shall implement the following measures during construction of the project.
Mitigated Negative Declaration
Grangeville Multi-Use Project May 2024
City of Hanford Page 4
1. All equipment shall be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
2. Construction-related equipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portable equipment shall be turned off when not in use for extended periods of time.
3. Construction equipment shall operate no longer than eight cumulative hours per day.
4. Electric equipment shall be used whenever possible in lieu of diesel- or gasoline powered equipment.
5. All construction vehicles shall be equipped with proper emission control equipment and kept in good and proper running order to substantially reduce NOx emissions.
6. On-road and off-road diesel equipment shall use diesel particulate filters (or the equivalent) if permitted under manufacturer’s guidelines.
7. Tier 3 engines shall be used on all equipment when available.
MM AQ-3: The project proponent shall continuously comply with the following measures during operation of the project to control emissions from the on-site dedicated equipment (equipment that would remain on-site each day):
a. All onsite off-road equipment and on-road vehicles for operation/maintenance shall be new equipment that meets the recent California Air Resources Board engine emission standards or alternatively fueled construction equipment, such as compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, or electric, as appropriate. b. All equipment shall be turned off when not in use. Engine idling of all equipment shall be minimized.
c. All equipment engines shall be maintained in good operating condition and in tune per manufacturers’ specification.
MM BIO-1: A pre-construction clearance survey of the Project footprint shall be conducted for special-status wildlife species and nesting migratory birds and raptors. The survey shall occur no less than 14-30 days prior to the start of construction activities. If construction is delayed beyond 30 days from the time of the survey, then another survey must be conducted.
The survey shall be conducted by a biologist with adequate training and prior experience conducting surveys for special-status wildlife species. If no special-status species are observed, no further action is warranted. If dens or burrows that could support specialstatus species and/or nesting birds are discovered during the pre-construction survey, appropriate avoidance buffers should be established. A report outlining the results of the clearance survey shall be provided to the Lead Agency as evidence of compliance.
Mitigated Negative Declaration
Grangeville Multi-Use Project May 2024
City of Hanford Page 5
MM BIO-2: If construction is planned during the nesting season for migratory birds (February 15 to August 31) and nesting birds are identified during the survey, active Swainson’s hawk nest shall be avoided by 0.5 miles, other raptor nests shall be avoided by 500 feet and all other migratory bird nests shall be avoided by 250 feet. Avoidance buffers may be reduced if a qualified biological monitor determines that encroachment into the buffer area is not affecting nest building, the rearing of young, or otherwise affecting the breeding behaviors of the resident birds. Because nesting birds can establish new nests or produce a second or even third clutch at any time during the nesting season, nesting bird surveys shall be repeated every 30 days as construction activities are occurring throughout the nesting season.
MM BIO-3: If an active Swainson’s hawk nest is discovered at any time within 0.5 miles of active construction, a qualified biologist shall complete an assessment of the potential for current construction activities to impact the nest. The assessment would consider the type of construction activities, the location of construction relative to the nest, the visibility of construction activities from the nest location, and other existing disturbances in the area that are not related to the construction activities of this Project. Based on this assessment, the biologist will determine if construction activities can proceed and the level of nest monitoring required. Construction activities shall not occur within 500 feet of an active nest, but depending on conditions at the site, this distance may be reduced. Full-time monitoring to evaluate the effects of construction activities on nesting Swainson’s hawks may be required. The qualified biologist shall have the authority to stop work if it is determined that Project construction is disturbing the nest. These buffers may need to increase depending on the sensitivity of the nesting Swainson’s hawk to disturbances and at the discretion of the qualified biologist.
MM BIO-4: Prior to the initiation of construction activities, all personnel shall attend a Worker Environmental Awareness Training program developed by a qualified biologist. The program shall include information on the life histories of special-status species with the potential to occur on the Project, their legal status, the course of action shall these species be encountered onsite, and avoidance and minimization measures to protect these species.
MM BIO-5: Project-related vehicles should observe a 20-mph speed limit in all Project areas, except on county roads and state and federal highways. Off-road traffic outside of designated Project areas should be prohibited.
MM BIO-6: All trash and food items should be discarded into closed containers and properly disposed of at the end of each workday.
MM BIO-7: To prevent harassment or mortality of listed species, no pets should be permitted on the Project site during Project construction.
MM CUL-1: If prehistoric or historic-era cultural materials are encountered during construction activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find and make recommendations. If the qualified archaeologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant cultural
Mitigated Negative Declaration
Grangeville Multi-Use Project May 2024
City of Hanford Page 6
resource, additional investigations may be required to mitigate adverse impacts from Project implementation. These additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and evaluation or data recovery excavation. Cultural resource materials may include prehistoric resources such as flaked and ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone, ceramics, fire-affected rock, and historic resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or structural remnants.
Implementation of the mitigation measure below would ensure that the proposed Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
MM CUL-2: Prior to any ground disturbance, if the City of Hanford receives a request from a Native American tribal group, a surface inspection of the site shall be conducted by a tribal monitor. The tribal staff shall provide pre-Project-related activities briefings to supervisory personnel and any excavation contractor, including information on potential cultural material, finds, and any excavation contractor, which will include information on potential cultural material finds, and the procedures be enacted if resources are found. The tribal cultural staff shall monitor the site during grading activities.
Prior to any ground disturbance, the applicant shall offer the tribe the opportunity to provide a Native American Monitor during ground-disturbing activities. Tribal participation would be dependent upon the availability and interest of the tribe.
MM CUL-3: That a Burial Treatment Plan be entered into by the applicant/developer prior to any earth-disturbing activities.
MM CUL-4: If human remains are discovered during construction or operational activities, further excavation or disturbance shall be prohibited pursuant to Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code. The specific protocol, guidelines, and channels of communication outlined by the Native American Heritage Commission, in accordance with Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code, Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code (Chapter 1492, Statutes of 1982, Senate Bill 297), and Senate Bill 447 (Chapter 44, Statutes of 1987), shall be followed. Section 7050.5(c) shall guide the potential Native American involvement, in the event of the discovery of human remains, at the direction of the county coroner.
MM ENG-1: The Project proponent and its contractors shall comply with applicable California Title 24 CalGreen Code which can include but not be limited to inclusion of solar ready rooftops, double pane windows, electric vehicle charging, use of LED lights, the use of low flow appliances, drip irrigation, and drought tolerant landscaping.
MM GEO-1: The Project proponent and its contractors shall construct the Project in compliance with applicable development standards under the California Building Code.
MM GEO-2: Prior to issuing of grading or building permits, if required, (a) the Project applicant shall submit to the Lead Agency (1) the approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and (2) the Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with the General National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The requirements of the SWPPP and NPDES shall be
Mitigated Negative Declaration
Grangeville Multi-Use Project May 2024
City of Hanford Page 7
incorporated into design specifications and construction contracts. Recommended best management practices for the construction phase may include the following:
• Stockpiling and disposing of demolition debris, concrete, and soil properly. • Protecting existing storm drain inlets and stabilizing disturbed areas. • Implementing erosion controls.
• Properly managing construction materials.
• Managing waste, aggressively controlling litter, and implementing sediment controls. • Evidence of the approved SWPPP shall be submitted to the Lead Agency.
MM GEO-3: If any paleontological resources are encountered during ground-disturbance activities, all work within 25 feet of the find shall halt until a qualified paleontologist, as defined by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Standard Procedures for the Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse Impacts to Paleontological Resources (2010), can evaluate the find and make recommendations regarding treatment. Paleontological resource materials may include resources such as fossils, plant impressions, or animal tracks preserved in rock. The qualified paleontologist shall contact the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or another appropriate facility regarding any discoveries of paleontological resources.
If the qualified paleontologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant paleontological resource, additional investigations and fossil recovery may be required to mitigate adverse impacts from Project implementation. If avoidance is not feasible, the paleontological resources shall be evaluated for their significance. If the resources are not significant, avoidance is not necessary. If the resources are significant, they shall be avoided to ensure no adverse effects, or such effects must be mitigated. Construction in that area shall not resume until the resource-appropriate measures are recommended or the materials are determined to be less than significant. If the resource is significant and fossil recovery is the identified form of treatment, then the fossil shall be deposited in an accredited and permanent scientific institution. Copies of all correspondence and reports shall be submitted to the Lead Agency.
MM HAZ-1: The Project proponent/operators and its contractors shall utilize the U.S.
Department of Transportation and Caltrans designated hazardous materials routes for the transportation of hazardous and potentially hazardous materials during Project construction and operation.
MM HAZ-2: The Project proponent/operator shall receive approval from the State Water Resources Control Board and Kings County Department of Public Health (Certified Unified Program Agency) for the installation and operation of all proposed underground storage tanks.
MM HAZ-3: Prior to operation of the Project, the Project proponent/operator shall identify potential hazardous materials for Project operations. If the operation exceeds the established HMBP reporting thresholds, the Project proponent/operator must prepare and maintain a Hazardous Materials Business Plan pursuant to California Environmental
Mitigated Negative Declaration

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 - Overview
The applicant proposes to develop a multi-use development with a 64-unit multi-family housing complex and a 1.25-acre commercial component on a five-acre site within the City of Hanford, Kings County, California. The Project would require approval of a General Plan Amendment, a Zone Change, a Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit, a Variance, and Site Plan Review.
1.2 - California Environmental Quality Act
The City of Hanford is the Lead Agency for this Project pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines (Public Resources Code Section 15000 et seq.). The Environmental Checklist (CEQA Guidelines Appendix G) or Initial Study (IS) (see Section 3 – Initial Study) provides analysis that examines the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Project. Section 15063 of the CEQA Guidelines requires the Lead Agency to prepare an IS to determine whether a discretionary project will have a significant effect on the environment.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) is appropriate when an IS has been prepared, and a determination can be made that no significant environmental effects will occur because revisions to the Project have been made or mitigation measures will be implemented that reduce all potentially significant impacts to less-than-significant levels. The content of an MND is the same as a Negative Declaration, with the addition of identified mitigation measures and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) (see Appendix A – Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program).
Based on the IS, the Lead Agency has determined that the environmental review for the proposed application can be completed with an MND.
1.3 - Impact Terminology
The following terminology is used to describe the level of significance of impacts. • A finding of “no impact” is appropriate if the analysis concludes that the Project would not affect a topic area in any way.
• An impact is considered “less than significant” if the analysis concludes that it would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment and requires no mitigation. • An impact is considered “less than significant with mitigation incorporated” if the analysis concludes that it would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment with the inclusion of environmental commitments that have been agreed to by the applicant.
• An impact is considered “potentially significant” if the analysis concludes that it could have a substantial adverse effect on the environment.

11. Have California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the Project area requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1? If so, is there a plan for consultation that includes, for example, the determination of significance of impacts to tribal cultural resources, procedures regarding confidentiality, etc.?
Initial Study
Grangeville Multi-Use Project May 2024
City of Hanford Page 3-3
A Sacred Land Files search was requested from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and a response was received on December 5, 2023. The NAHC responded with its findings that indicated negative results. Based on the results of cultural records search findings and the lack of historical or archaeological resources previously identified within a half-mile radius of the proposed Project, the potential to encounter subsurface cultural resources is minimal. Additionally, the Project construction would be conducted within the previously disturbed parcel. The potential to uncover subsurface historical or archaeological deposits would be considered unlikely.
NOTE: Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and Project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. (See Public Resources Code Section 21083.3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission’s Sacred Lands File per Public Resources Code Section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Please also note that Public Resources Code Section 21082.3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

3.3 - Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect (a) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (b) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENT IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.
