Section 6. It is hereby further proposed that, except where funds are otherwise available to pay for the Services, a special tax sufficient to pay for such Services and related incidental expenses authorized by the Act (the “Special Tax” or “Special Taxes”), secured by recordation of a continuing lien against all non-exempt real property in the CFD, will be levied annually within the boundaries of the CFD. Under no circumstances, with respect to the referenced property, will the Special Tax authorized be levied within the CFD be increased as a consequence of delinquency or default by the owner of any other parcel or parcels used for private residential purposes and located within the CFD by more than 10 percent. For further particulars as to the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax proposed to be levied within the CFD, reference is made to the attached and incorporated Exhibit C, which sets forth in sufficient detail the rate and method of apportionment of the Special Tax among parcels of real property in the CFD (the “Rate and Method”) to allow each landowner or resident within the CFD to clearly estimate the maximum amount that such person will have to pay for such Services. The City Council hereby determines the Rate and Method set forth in Exhibit C to be reasonable.
The Special Taxes herein authorized, to the extent possible, shall be collected in the same manner as ad valorem property taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties, procedure, sale and lien priority in any case of delinquency as applicable for ad valorem taxes, or shall be collected in such other manner as may be provided by the City Council. Any Special Taxes that may not be collected on the County tax roll shall be collected through a direct billing procedure by the City Treasurer or duly appointed officer or agency of the City, as appointed by the City Council.

At the above-mentioned time and place for public hearing any persons interested, including taxpayers, persons registered to vote within the CFD, and property owners, may appear and be heard. The testimony of all interested persons for or against the establishment of the CFD, the extent of the CFD, or the furnishing of the services will be heard and considered. Any protests may be orally or in writing. However, any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings shall be in writing and clearly set forth in the irregularities and defects to which the objection is made. All written protests shall be filed with the City Clerk of the City Council on or before the time fixed for the public hearing.
Written protests may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing.
If a written majority protest against the establishment of the CFD is filed (as determined in accordance with Section 53324 of the Act), the proceedings shall be abandoned. If such majority protest is limited to certain services or portions of the Special Tax, those services or that tax shall be eliminated by the City Council.

The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity for the purpose of financing ongoing authorized services and therefore may not be prepaid.
F. EXEMPTIONS
The City Council shall classify as Exempt Property: (i) Public Property, (ii) Property Owner Association Property, (iii) Assessor’s Parcels with public or utility easements making impractical their utilization for other than the purposes set forth in the easement, including but not limited to property designated for open space, trails, pathways, parks or park and recreation related facilities, (iv) property reasonably designated by the City or CFD Administrator as affordable housing, and (v) property reasonably designated by the City or CFD Administrator as Exempt Property due to deed restrictions, conservation easement, or similar factors.

The CFD Administrator shall promptly review the appeal, and if necessary, meet with the property owner, consider written and oral evidence regarding the amount of the Special Tax, and rule on the appeal. If the decision of the CFD Administrator requires that the Special Tax for an Assessor’s Parcel be modified or changed in Resolution No. 22-61
favor of the property owner, a cash refund shall not be made but an adjustment shall be made to the Special Tax on that Assessor’s Parcel in the subsequent Fiscal Year(s) to compensate for the overpayment of the Special Tax.
H. MANNER OF COLLECTION
The Special Tax shall be collected in the same manner and at the same time as ordinary ad valorem property taxes, provided, however, that the Special Tax may be billed and collected at a different time or in a different manner if necessary to meet the financial obligations of CFD 2021-1.
I. DURATION OF TAX
The Special Tax shall be levied in perpetuity to fund the Special Tax Requirement unless such tax is no longer required as determined by the City Council.

Subject: Zone Change No. 22-01 Located Between Avenue K and Avenue K-8 on the East Side of 55th Street West (APNs: 3204-010-054, -055, -062, -063, 3204-011-033, - 034, -059
Recommendation:
Adopt Ordinance No. 1095, amending the City Zoning Plan for approximately 40.4 gross acres of land located between Avenue K and Avenue K-8 on the east side of 55th Street West (APN Numbers: 3204-010-054, -055, -062, -063, 3204-011-033, -034, -059), from Single-Family Residential, minimum lot size 10,000 square feet (R-10,000) to Single-Family Residential, minimum lot size 7,000 square feet (R-7,000), known as Zone Change No. 22-01 Fiscal Impact:
None.
Background:
The City received a request from Royal Investor Group, an application for a Zone Change (ZC) and a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for a proposed single-family residential subdivision located between Avenue K and Avenue K-8 on the east side of 55th Street West. Staff reviewed the proposed project and prepared a staff report (Attachment A), recommending approval to the Planning Commission for the TTM and ZC. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 19, 2022, and voted (by a 5-0-0-0-2 vote) to recommend approval to the City Council for ZC No. 22-01, and the approval of TTM No. 71210 for 169 single-family lots with open space amenities.
Staff reviewed the land use designations and zones, and determined that the proposed R-7,000 zone for the project site would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding area. The proposed project would not significantly change the type or intensity of use of the site. The subject site would accommodate uses that are compatible with the neighboring land use and zoning. The project site is surrounded by mostly vacant land and a few single-family homes. The existing and proposed zones fall under the Urban Residential category. These zones are intended 1 1
2 1
to provide for single-family dwellings in an urban environment with full urban services. Only those additional uses that are complementary to and exist in harmony with an urban residential neighborhood are allowed.
The project was also reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the Planning Commission adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration during their meeting on September 19, 2022.
The proposed project would bring new single-family housing to an undeveloped area. The development would be governed by a homeowners’ association (HOA), which would manage the common open space areas, and ensure quality standards are enforced. In addition, the project would be compatible with the single-family homes and other residential uses that surround the proposed subject site. Therefore, staff is recommending approval to change the zoning designation from R-10,000 to R-7,000.
At the Lancaster City Council meeting held on November 8, 2022, the City Council approved the introduction of Ordinance No. 1095, amending the City Zoning Plan for approximately 40.4 gross acres of land located between Avenue K and Avenue K-8 on the east side of 55th Street West (APN Numbers: 3204-010-054, -055, -062, -063, 3204-011-033, -034, -059), from Single- Family Residential, minimum lot size 10,000 square feet (R-10,000) to Single-Family Residential, minimum lot size 7,000 square feet (R-7,000), known as Zone Change No. 22-01, by the following vote 4-0-0-1; Ayes: Dorris, Mann, Vice Mayor Crist, Mayor Parris; Noes: None; Abstain: None; Absent: Malhi.

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 confi dentiality, etc. ? In accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 52, the City sent letters to a total of three tribes that had directly contacted the City for notification via certified, return receipt mail on December 30, 2015. These letters included copies of the site plan, cultural resources report, and a paleontological report. Table 2 identihes the three tribes and the individuals to whom the letter was directed. No responses were received from these individuals. However, mitigation measures have been included to ensure that proper procedures are followed in the event that cultural resources are encountered during construction.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
DETERMINATION: On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COIJLD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
_X_ 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 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only 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.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis.
All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced).
Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identifu the following:
a. Earlier Analysis Use. Identift and state where they are available for review. b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identifu which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages w3here the statement is substantiated.

The City of Lancaster General Plan identifies five scenic areas in the City and immediate surrounding arca (LMEA Figure I2.0-I). Views of these scenic areas are not generally visible from the project site or the immediately surrounding roadways. However, views of the mountains surrounding the Antelope Valley are available from the project site and roadways. With implementation of the proposed project, these views would not change and would continue to be available from the roadways and project site. Therefore, impacts would be less than signif,rcant.
The project site is not located along any designated State Scenic Highways and there are no rock outcroppings or historic structures on the site. The northem half of the site is disturbed land dominated by non-native grasses and herbs, while the southem half contains Joshua trees. The Joshua trees would be removed during construction activities. As the site is not located along a designated scenic highway, impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project is consistent with the zoning code as it pertains to this use and proposed zone. Additionally, the City of Lancaster adopted Design Guidelines on December 8, 2009 (updated March 30, 2010). These guidelines provide the basis to achieve quality design for all development within the City. Development of the proposed project would change the visual character of the project site from vacant land to a residential subdivision of 169 lots with open space amenities. The new development would conform to design standards for subdivisions, the intent of the design guidelines, and would be compatible with nearby developments. Prior to c

This would ensure that the elevations are consistent with the Design Guidelines and City's vision for the look of the community. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Currently, no light is generated on the project site. Light generated in the area is primarily from vehicle headlights. The light generated from the project site would be in the form of motor vehicles, street lights, and residential lighting. The proposed street lights within the development would be directed onto the project site. Additionally, the proposed project would not introduce substantial amounts of glare as the development would be constructed primarily from non- reflective materials. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. 2019 Update

II. AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES. In
determining whether impacts to agricultural resources
are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the
California Department of Conservation as an optional
model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and
farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest
resources, including timberland, are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to
information compiled by the California Department of
Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's
inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment
project; and forest carbon measurement methodology
provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California
Air Resources Board. Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or
Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown
on the naps prcpared pursuant to the Fannland Mapping
and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non-agricultural use?

b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? X
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(9)), timberland (as defined in Public Resources
Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland

The Califomia Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection, Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP), tracks and categorizes land with respect to agricultural resources. Land is designated as one of the following and each has a specific definition: Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Local Importance, GrazingLand, Urban and Built-Up Land, and Other Land.
The maps for each county are updated every two years. The Los Angeles County Farmland Map was last updated in 2018. Based on the 2018 map, the project site is designated as Other Land.
Other Land is dehned as "land not included in any other mapping category. Common examples include low density rural developments, brush, timber, wetland, and riparian areas not suitable for livestock grazing, confined livestock, poultry, or aquaculture facilities, strip mines, borrow pits, water bodies smaller than 40 acres. Vacant and non-agricultural land surrounded on all sides by urban development and greater than 20 acres is mapped as other land." As the project is not designated as farmland of importance by the State nor is it currently utilized for agricultural purposed, no impacts to agricultural resources would occur.
The project site is zoned R-10,000 and is proposing to change the zoning to R-7,000, neither of which allow for agricultural uses. Additionally, the project site and surrounding area are not utilized for agricultural uses nor are they subject to a Williamson Act contract. No agricultural uses are present on the project site. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
According to the City of Lancaster's General Plan, there are no forests or timberlands located within the City of Lancaster. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in the rezoning of forest or timberland and would not cause the loss of forest land or the conversion of forest land to non-forest land. Therefore, no impacts would occur.

Development proposed under the City's General Plan would not create air emissions that exceed the Air Quality Management Plan (GPEIR pgs. 5.5-21 ro 5.5-22). The project site is designated as UR and zoned R-10,000 with the proposal to change the zone to R-7,000. Residential subdivisions are a permitted use under both zones. Additionally, while the R-7,000 zoning would allow for smaller lots, the previous version of the project proposed an RPD which allowed for smaller lots than are typically permitted within the R-10,000. As such, any potential emissions associated with the proposed project would be similar to the previously analyzed version and have already been accounted for and the proposed project would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of the Air Quality Management Plan and no impacts would occur.
The project site is within the boundary of the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) and therefore, are subject to compliance with the thresholds established by the AVAQMD. These thresholds were provided in the AVAQMD's California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Federal Conformity Guidelines document, dated August 2016. These thresholds have been summarized below in Table 2.

Table2
AVAQMD Air Quality Thresholds
Construction of the proposed project would generate air emissions associated with grading, use of heavy equipment, construction worker vehicles, etc. However, the emissions are not anticipated to exceed the established thresholds identified above due to the size and the type of proposed project.
The proposed project would generate approximately 1,594 daily vehicle trips as determined by the City Traffic Engineer. These trips would generate air emissions; however, the amount of emissions from the estimated vehicle trips would not be sufficient to create or significantly contribute towards violations of air quality standards. Therefore, emissions associated withthe occupancy of the proposed subdivision would be less than significant.
The closest sensitive receptors are the single residences located along Avenue K and 52nd Street West and along Avenue K and 60th Street West. The trips associated with the proposed project would generate emissions; however, the amount of traffic generated by the project is not sufficient enough to significantly impact nearby intersections or roadways and create or contribute considerably to violations of air quality standards on either a localized or regular basis.
Therefore, substantial pollutant concentrations would not occur and impacts would be less than significant.
However, since the construction of the proposed project would result in the disturbance of the soil, it is possible individuals could be exposed to Valley Fever. Valley Fever or coccidioidomycosis, is primarily a disease of the lungs caused by the spores of the Coccidioides immitis fungus. The spores are found in soils, become airborne when the soil is disturbed, and are subsequently inhaled into the lungs. After the fungal spores have settled in the lungs, they change into a multicelluar structure called a spherule. Fungal groMh in the lungs occurs as the spherule grows and bursts, releasing endospores, which then develop into more spherules.
Valley Fever is not contagious, and therefore, cannot be passed on from person to person. Most of those who are infected would recover without treatment within six months and would have a life-long immunity to the fungal spores.

and extensive primary illness, those who are at risk for dissemination of disease, and those who have disseminated disease, antifungal drug therapy is used.
Nearby sensitive receptors as well as workers at the project site could be exposed to Valley Fever from fugitive dust generated during construction. There is the potential that cocci spores would be stirred up during excavation, grading, and earth-moving activities, exposing construction workers and nearby sensitive receptors to these spores and thereby to the potential of contracting Valley Fever. However, implementation of Mitigation Measure 9 (see Geology and Soils) which requires the project operator to implement dust control measures in compliance with AVAQMD Rule 403, and implementation of Mitigation Measure 1, below, which would provide personal protective respiratory equipment to construction workers and provide information to all construction personnel and visitors about Valley Fever, the risk of exposure to Valley Fever would be minimized to a less than significant level.
Mitieation Measures
1. Prior to ground disturbance activities, the project operator shall provide evidence to the Development Services Director that the project operator and/or construction manager has developed a "Valley Fever Training Handout", training, and schedule of sessions for education to be provided to all construction personnel. All evidence of the training session materials, handout(s) and schedule shall be submitted to the Development Services Director within 24 hours of the first training session. Multiple training sessions may be conducted if different work crews will come to the site for different stages of construction; however, all construction personnel shall be provided training prior to beginning work. The evidence submitted to the Development Services Director regarding the "Valley Fever Training Ilandout" and Scssion(s) shall includc thc following:
o A sign-in sheet (to include the printed employee names, signature, and date) for all employees who attended the training session.
o Distribution of a written flier or brochure that includes educational information regarding the health effects of exposure to criteria pollutant emissions and Valley Fever.
o Training on methods that may help prevent Valley Fever infection. o A demonstration to employees on how to use personal protective equipment, such as respiratory equipment (masks), to reduce exposure to pollutants and facilitate recognition of symptoms and earlier treatment of Valley Fever. Where respirators are required, the equipment shall be readily available and shall be provided to employees for use during work. Proof that the demonstration is included in the training shall be submitted to the county. This proof can be via printed training materials/agenda, DVD, digital media files, or photographs.
The project operator also shall consult with the Los Angeles County Public Health to develop a Valley Fever Dust Management Plan that addresses the potential presence of the Coccidioides spore and mitigates for the potential for Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever).
Prior to issuance of permits, the project operator shall submit the Plan to the Los Angeles Cor-r-ntv Public Hea-lth for review a.nel- eomment. The Plan shall inelrrde a Drosram to---"'-J E Q 2019 Update

o Provide HEP-filters for heavy equipment equipped with factory enclosed cabs capable of accepting the filters. Cause contractors utilizing applicable heavy equipment to furnish proof of worker training on proper use of applicable healy equipment cabs, such as turning on air conditioning prior to using the equipment. o Provide communication methods, such as two-way radios, for use in enclosed cabs. o Require National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (lt{IOSH)-approved half- face respirators equipped with minimum N-95 protection factor for use during worker collocation with surface disturbance activities, as required per the hazard assessment process.
r Cause employees to be medically evaluated, fit-tested, and properly trained on the use of the respirators, and implement a full respiratory protection program in accordance with the applicable CallOSHA Respiratory Protection Standard (8 CCR 5144). o Provide separate, clean eating areas with hand-washing facilities. o Install equipment inspection stations at each construction equipment access/egress point.
Examine construction vehicles and equipment for excess soil material and clean, as necessary, before equipment is moved off-site.
o Train workers to recognize the symptoms of Valley Fever, and to promptly report suspected symptoms of work-related Valley Fever to a supervisor. . Work with a medical professional to develop a protocol to medically evaluate employees who develop symptoms of Valley Fever.
o Work with a medical professional, in consultation with the Los Angeles County Public Health, to develop an educational handout for on-site workers and surrounding residents within three miles of the project site, and include the following information on Valley Fever: what are the potential sources/ causes, what are the common symptoms, what are the options or remedies available should someone be experiencing these symptoms, and where testing for exposure is available. Prior to construction permit issuance, this handout shall have been created by the project operator and reviewed by the project operator and reviewed by the Development Services Director. No less than 30 days prior to any work commencing, this handout shall be mailed to all existing residences within a specified radius of the project boundaries as determined by the Development Services Director. The radius shall not exceed three miles and is dependent upon the location of the project site.
o When possible, position workers upwind or crosswind when digging a trench or performing other soil-disturbing tasks.
o Prohibit smoking at the worksite outside of designated smoking areas; designated smoking areas will be equipped with handwashing facilities. 2019 Update

Construction of the proposed project is not anticipated to produce significant objectionable odors. Construction equipment may generate some odors, but these odors would be similar to those produced by vehicles traveling Avenue K, 50th Street West, and 60th Street West. Most objectionable odors are typically associated with industrial projects involving the use of chemicals, solvents, petroleum products and other strong-smelling elements used in manufacturing processes, as well as sewage treatment facilities and landfills. These types of uses are not part of the proposed project. Odors may also be generated by typical residential activities (e.g., cooking, etc.). However, these odors are considered to be less than significant. Therefore, impacts associated with odors would be less than significant. a

Plants
A total of 26 plant species were found within the study site. A complete list of plant species is provided in Table 3. The northern half of the project site is heavily disturbed land dominated by annual non-native grasses and herbs. The southern half of the project site is slightly less disturbed than the north and contains saltbush scrub and Joshua trees. The vast majority of vegetation is composed of nonnative grasses and ruderal herbs with saltbush scrub and approximately ten Joshua trees. The Joshua trees are noticeably less mature than those found on adjacent properties and are too sparsely spaced to be considered Joshua tree woodland.

Observed Plant Species
Joshua Trees
The Joshua tree was listed as a candidate species by the California Fish and Game Commission in September 2020. As a candidate species, the Joshua tree is afforded the same protections as a listed species. Joshua trees may not be removed or transplanted without an Incidental Take Permit issued by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Where feasible, individuals of this species should be avoided.
Animals
A total of 25 animal species were observed on site. Table 4 provides a listing of all animal species observed on the project site. No special status wildlife species or their sign were identified during the survey, and the site was determined to not contain suitable habitat for any listed species that could potentially be found in the area. No sensitive wildlife species or their sign were identified during the survey.

While no burrowing owls were observed on the project site, it is possible that burrowing owls and other nesting birds could occupy the project site prior to the start of construction. As such, mitigations have been identihed for both nesting bird surveys and burrowing owl protocol surveys to ensure impacts remain less than significant. Therefore, the project would have less than significant impacts.
Mitigation Measures
2. Prior to any ground disturbing activities, the applicant shall obtain an Incidental Take Permit from the California Fish and Wildlife for the Joshua trees to be removed from the project site.
A copy of the Incidental Take Permit shall be provided to the City of Lancaster prior to the issuance of any construction related pemrits.
3. No burrowing owls were identified on the project site; however, it is possible that they could occupy the site prior to the start of construction. Burrowing owl protocol surveys shall be conducted on the project site in accordance with the procedures established by the Califomia Department of Fish and Wildlife prior to the start of construction/ground disturbing activities.
If burrowing owls are identified using the project site during the surveys, the applicant shall contact the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and appropriate Red-tailed hawk/ Buteo

mitigation/management procedures shall be followed. At a minimum, the following shall occur
If burrowing owls are identified during the non-nesting season, a qualihed biologist shall install one-way gates to relocate the owl to a suitable nearby property. Upon confirmation that the burrow is empty, the burrowing shall be collapsed. a In the event that a breeding pair or female owl with offspring are present at a burrow, a buffer zone of at least 50 feet shall be established around the burrow until the offspring have fledged and left the burrow. No work shall occur within the buffer zone. The specific buffer zone shall be established in coordination with CDFW. b
4. A nesting survey shall be conducted within 30 days prior to the start of constructiorVground disturbing activities. If nesting birds are encountered, all work shall cease until either the young birds have fledged or the appropriate permits are obtained from the Califomia Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW). If active bird nests are identified using the project site during the survey, the applicant shall contact the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine the appropriate mitigation/management requirements. Impact to nests will be avoided by delay of work or establishing a buffer of 500 feet around active raptor nests and 50 feet around other migratory bird species nests.
The project site does not contain any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the Califomia Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Therefore, no impact would occur.
There are no State or federally protected wetlands on the project site as defined by Section 4A4 of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
The project site is not part of an established migratory wildlife corridor. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
The proposed project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances, such as a tree preservation policy, protecting biological resources. The proposed project would be subject to the requirements of Ordinance No. 848, Biological Impact Fee, which requires the payment of $770lacre to offset the cumulative loss of biological resources in the Antelope Valley as a result of development. This fee is required of all projects occurring on previously undeveloped land regardless of the biological resources present and is utilized to enhance biological resources through education program and the acquisition of property for conservation. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
There are no Habitat Conservation Plans, Natural Community Conservation Plans, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plans which are applicable to the project site. The West Mojave Coordinated Habitat Conservation Plan only applies to federal land, specifically land owned by the Bureau of Land Management. In conjunction with the Coordinated Management Plan, a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) was proposed which would have applied to all private properties within the Plan Area. However, this HCP was never approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife nor was it adopted by the local c.

a-c. A cultural resources suruey was conducted for the project site by LSA Associates and the results documented in a report entitled "Cultural Resources Assessment, Lancaster 40 Residential Project, County of Los Angeles, California," and dated April, 2015. The report includes a records search and a field survey.
LSA Associates performed an historical/archaeological resources records search, pursued historical background research, and carried out a field survey. The northern half of the project site was previously surveyed in 2004, the southern half was surveyed in 2007, and a section of the western edge was separately surveyed in2007 . These previous surveys identified two cultural resources on the property, a historic trash scatter and a historic farmstead. RT Factfinders conducted two investigations in 2007 of these resources, a Phase I and a subsequent Phase II cultural resource investigation. The Phase I survey titled "Phase I Cultural Resource Investigation for 20 Acres Northeast of the Intersection of 55th Street West and West Avenue K-8, Lancastet, Los Angeles County, California," identified the trash scatter and the farmstead.
In the Phase I report the 5x4 meter trash scatter in the west central portion of the property was determined to be typical single-component, short-term household refuse deposit cfuca T955-57, that would not be considered significant under CEQA. The significance of the farmstead, identified as Site 539-1, could not be determined within the Phase I survey. Subsequently, a Phase II survey was conducted to determine the significance of the farmstead. This survey is titled "Phase II Cultural Resource Investigation for Site 539-1 on 20 Acres Northeast of the Intersection of 55th Street West and West Avenue K-8, Lancaster, Los Angeles County, California." The survey included research, mapping, test excavation, and artifact cataloging and analysis. The farmstead complex is approximately 65x25 meters in area with a nearby irrigation pond approximately 30x40 meters. The site includes a cement house foundation, cement pads and footings for other structures, a bum pit, and a standpipe. The site was mapped, swept with a metal detector, and 13 lxl meter square pits were excavated in June 2007. A total of 688 items such as bottles, cans, various household and farming items were excavated and catalogued. No items or components of the complex were considered significant and the site itself was Potentially

determined to lack historic integrity. The Phase II investigation determined the site does not have the potential to provide additional significant data and that development of the property would not be expected to result in a significant impact to cultural resources.
Because the surveys from RT Factfinders reported excellent ground visibility in the southem portion of the site, LSA Associates only surveyed the northern half of the project area, in addition to relocating and re-documenting the trash scatter and farmstead resources. LSA Associates conducted their field survey on January 20, 2015 and January 21, 2015. No new potential resources were recorded. The previously recorded resources, the trash scatter and farmstead, were found to be the same as they were recorded previously. The trash scatter contained fewer rusted cans, and a series of standpipes were found extending from the reservoir associated with the farmstead.
While no Native American/prehistoric cultural resources were identified on the project site, it is possible that unknown resources may be encountered during the course of construction related activities. Mitigation has been identified which lays out the procedures to be followed in the event that previously unidentified cultural resources are encountered on the project site. These mitigation measure also require the applicant/developer to work with the appropriate Native American tribe should any issues arise. With the incorporation of these measures, impacts would be less than significant.
Mitigation Measures
5. If humans or funerary objects are encountered during any construction activities associated with the proposed project, work within 100-foot buffer shall cease and the County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5.
6. In the event that Native American cultural resources are discovered during any construction activities all work within 60-foot buffer shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find. The appropriate tribe(s) shall be contacted and provided information and invited to perform a site visit in conjunction with the archaeologist to provide Tribal input.
7. In the event that any issues arise with respect to cultural resources, the applicant shall in good faith discuss and address concerns associated with the development of the site with the appropriate tribe(s). A copy of any concerns and the proposed resolution/agreement shall be submitted to the City.
8. If significant Native American resources are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured a Secretary of Interior qualified archaeologist shall be retained to develop a cultural resource Treatment Plan, as well as a Discovery and Monitoring Plan. A copy of the draft document shall be provided to the appropriate tribe(s) for review and comment. All in field investigation, assessment and/or data recovery pursuant to the Treatment Plan shall be monitored by a Tribal Monitor. Additionally, the applicant and the City of Lancaster shall consult with the appropriate tribe(s) on the discussion and treatment of any artifacts or other cultural materials encountered during the project.

a. Project construction would consume energy in two general forms: 1) the fuel energy consumed by construction vehicles and equipment and 2) bound energy in construction materials, such as asphalt, steel, concrete, pipes, and manufactured or processed materials such as lumber and glass.
Fossil fuels used for construction vehicles and other energy-consuming equipment would be used during site clearing, grading, and construction. Fuel energy consumed during construction would be temporary and would not represent a significant demand on energy resources. In addition, some incidental energy conservation would occur during construction through compliance with State requirernents that equipment not in use for rnore than five minutes be tumed off. Project construction equipment would also be required to comply with the latest EPA and CARB engine emissions standards. These emissions standards require highly efficient combustion systems that maximize fuel efficiency and reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.
Substantial reductions in energy inputs for construction materials can be achieved by selecting building materials composed of recycled materials that require substantially less energy to produce than non-recycled materials. The project-related incremental increase in the use of energy bound in construction materials such as asphalt, steel, concrete, pipes and manufactured or processed materials (e.g., lumber and gas) would not substantially increase demand for energy compared to overall local and regional demand for construction materials.
The proposed project would consume energy for interior and exterior lighting, heating/ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, electronics systems, appliances, and security systems, among other things. The proposed project would be required to comply with Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which provide minimum eff,rciency standards related to various building features, including appliances, water and space heating and cooling equipment, building insulation and roofing, and lighting. Implementation of the Title 24 standards significantly reduces energy usage. Furthermore, the electricity provider is subject to California's Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS). The RPS requires investor- owned utilities, electric service providers, and community choice aggregators (CCA) to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33 percent of total procurementby 2020 and to 50 percent of total procurement by 2030.

resources, which are naturally replenished within a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.
The project would adhere to all Federal, State, and local requirements for energy efficiency, including the Title 24 standards, as well as the project's design features and as such the project would not result in the inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of building energy.
In 1978, the California Energy Commission (CEC) established Title 24, California's energy efficiency standards for residential and non-residential buildings, in response to a legislative mandate to create uniform building codes to reduce California's energy consumption, and provide energy efficiency standards for residential and non-residential buildings. The 2016 standards went into effect on January I,2017 and substantially reduce electricity and natural gas consumption. Additional savings result from the application of the standards on building alterations such as cool roofs, lighting, and air distribution ducts.
The Califomia Green Building Standards Code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part I l), commonly referred to as the CALGreen Code, is a statewide mandatory construction code that was developed and adopted by the California Building Standards Commission and the Califomia Department of Housing and Community Development. CALGreen standards require new residential and commercial buildings to comply with mandatory measures under five topical areas: planning and design; energy efficiency; water efficiency and conservation; material conservation and resource efficiency; and environmental quality. The most recent update to the CALGreen Code was adopted in2016 and went into effect in January 1,2077. An updated version of both the California Building Code and the CALGreen Code are expected to go into effect on January l, 2020.
In2014, Lancaster created Lancaster Choice Energy (LCE), allowing residents and businesses in Lancaster to choose the source of their electricity, including an opportunity to opt up to 100% renewable energy. SCE continues to deliver the electricity and provide billing, customer service and powerline maintenance and repair, while customers who choose to participate in this program would receive power from renewable electric generating private-sector partners at affordable rates.
The City of Lancaster adopted the Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Home Ordinance in February 2017.
The ZNE Ordinance mandates all builders to install a solar system equal to two watts per square foot for each home built. Developers have three options available to comply with the City's ZNE requirement: a solar component, mitigation fees in lieu of a solar component, or a combination of both. The houses constructed as a result of the proposed project would comply with all of these regulations and would not conflict or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. This ordinance was made obsolete when the CalGreen Code went into effect on January 1,2020. Therefore, no impacts would occur.

proposed project would be constructed in accordance with the seismic requirements of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) adopted by the City, which would render any potential impacts to a less than significant level. The site is generally level and is not subject to landslides (SSHZ).
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other events. This phenomenon occurs in saturated soils that undergo intense seismic shaking typically associated with an earthquake. There are three specific conditions that need to be in place for liquefaction to occur: loose granular soils, shallow groundwater (usually less than 50 feet below ground surface) and intense seismic shaking. In April 2019, the California Geologic Survey updated the Seismic Hazard Zones Map for Lancaster (SSHZ) (https://maps.conservation.ca.gov/cgslEQZApplappl). Based on these maps, the project site is not located in an area at risk for liquefaction. No impacts would occur. b. The project site is rated as having a low risk for soil erosion (USDA SCS Maps) when cultivated or cleared of vegetation. As such, there remains a potential for water and wind erosion during construction. The proposed project would be required, under the provisions of the Lancaster Municipal Code (LMC) Chapter 8.16, to adequately wet or seal the soil to prevent wind erosion.
Additionally, the following mitigation measure shall be required to control dust/wind erosion.
Water erosion controls must be provided as part of the proposed project's grading plans to be reviewed and approved by the City Engineering Division. These provisions, which are a part of the proposed project, would reduce any impacts to less than significant levels.
Mitieation Measures
9. The application shall submit a Dust Control Plan to the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) for review and approval in accordance with Rule 403, Fugitive Dust, prior to the issuance of any grading and/or construction permits. This plan shall demonstrate adequate water or dust suppressant application equipment to mitigate all disturbed areas.
10. Signage shall be displayed on the project site in accordance with AVAQMD Rule 403 (Appendix A).
Subsidence is the sinking of the soil caused by the extraction of water, petroleum, etc.
Subsidence can result in geologic hazards known as fissures. Fissures are typically associated with faults or groundwater withdrawal, which results in the cracking of the ground surface.
According to Figure 2-3 of the City of Lancaster's Master Environmental Assessment, the project site is not known to be within an area subject to fissuring, sinkholes, or subsidence or any other form of geologic unit or soil instability. The closest known fissures are located at Avenue I/55th Street West, approximately two miles north of the project site. For a discussion of potential impacts regarding liquefaction, please refer to Section Item VILa. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
The soil on the project site is characteized by a low shrink/swell potential with some patches of moderate shrink/swell potential (LMEA Figure 2-3). A soils report for the proposed project shall be submitted to the City by the project developer prior to grading and the recommendations of c.

The proposed project would be tied into the sanitary sewer system. No septic or alternative means of waste water disposal are part of the proposed project. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
A paleontological assessment of the project site was conducted by LSA Associates, Inc., and documented in a report entitled "Paleontological Assessment for the Lancaster 40 Residential Project, City of Lancaster, Los Angeles County, California" and dated April23,2015. Based on this study it was determined that there is a low probability of paleontological resources within the top five feet of the project site. However, below five feet the possibility of paleontological resources increases. In order to ensure that impacts to these resources are less than significant, the following mitigation measure is required. With implementation of the mitigation measure, impacts would be less than significant.

a-b. The proposed project involves subdividing the subject property into 169 individual lots for single family residences and changing the existing zoning from R-l0,000 to R-7,000. As discussed in Section Item III.b., the proposed project would generate air emissions during construction and operational activities, some of which may be greenhouse gases. These emissions are anticipated to be less than the thresholds established by AVAQMD due to the size of the project and therefore would not prevent the State from reaching its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Once the development is operational, it would generate emissions, primarily from vehicles and other activities associated with the residential uses, including yard maintenance, heating/cooling maintenance, etc. However, the development would require to comply with the requirement of the City's Net Zero Energy Ordinance, Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, and other requirements which increase the efficiency of buildings and reduce air emissions. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project would also be in compliance with the greenhouse gas goals and polices identified in the City of Lancaster General Plan (LME,Ap.7-2 to 7-15) and in the City's adopted Climate Action Plan. Therefore, impacts with respect to conflicts with an agency's plans, policies, and regulations would be less than significant.

area. The proposed project is not located along a hazardous materials transportation corridor (LMEA p. 9.1-14 and Figure 9.1-4). Development of the project site would not involve the demolition of any structures and therefore, would not expose individuals or the environment to asbestos containing materials or lead based paint. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
The project site is not located within a quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. The closest school to the project site is Endeavor Middle School, approximately .74 miles southeast of the project site, the proposed project would not generate hazardous emissions or handle hazardouslacutely hazardous materials. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared for the proposed project by Petra Geosciences. The findings of the study are documented in Petra Geosciences "Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Lancaster 171 Projcct, Proposcd Tcntativc Tract7l2T0" datcd March 20,2015.
As part of the environmental site assessment, a site visit was conducted on March 2, 2015.
Reported site conditions match descriptions provided in the cultural resource surveys (see Item V.a-d) and the same structure remnants were reported. Newer deposits of trash were reported along the unimproved power line road on the west edge of the property (55th Street West). There were no signs of soil discoloration or hazardous materials associated with the trash. No hazardous materials/waste were observed at the subject site. No obvious evidence (vent pipes, fill pipes, dispensers, etc.) of underground storage tanks (USTs) were noted within the area observed. No standing water was observed on the subject site. A cluster of pole-mounted transformers was noted on a wooden pole on unimproved 55th Street West. A metal tag indicated the pole may have been placed in 2005, and the transforrners and pole appeared in good condition. A standpipe on the property was identified as a potential abandoned water well, but this does not constitute a recognized environmental condition. Mitigation measures have been incorporated to alleviate any potential impacts which could arise during construction.
In addition to the site visit, a regulatory records review was conducted for the project site. The records search includes historical aerial photographs and regulatory databases. The assessment concludes there is no evidence that recognized environmental conditions exist in connection with the historical and current uses of the subject site. Therefore, no impacts would occur.

l6.In the event asbestos-containing material is encountered during removal, the lines should not be disturbed until they are evaluated by a licensed asbestos consultant.
The proposed project is not located within an airport land use plan. The nearest airfield, General William Fox Airfield, is located approximately 4 miles northeast of the project site. There are no circumstances related to this proximity that could be expected to result in a safety hazard for people residing in the project area, therefore no impacts would occur.
The traffic generated by the proposed project is not expected to block the roadways and improvements that have been conditioned as part of the project would ensure that traffic operates smoothly. Therefore, the proposed project would not impair or physically block any identified evacuation routes and would not interfere with any adopted emergency response plan. Impacts would not occur.
The surrounding properties are vacant. It is possible that these lands could be subject to a grass fire. However, single-family homes are built according to CA Building Standards Code which includes standards for hre safety of buildings. The project site is also located approximately 1.4 miles from Los Angeles County Fire Station No. 84, located at 5030 Avenue L-14, which would serve the project site in the event of a fire. Therefore, potential impacts from wildland fires would be less than significant.

minimize pollution of the environment to the maximum extent practicable. The reduction of pollutants in urban storm water discharge through the use of structural and nonstructural Best Management Practices (BMPs) is one of the primary objectives of the water quality regulations.
BMPs that are typically used to management runoff water quality include controlling roadway and parking lot contaminants by installing oil and grease separators at storm drain inlets, cleaning parking lots on a regular basis, incorporating peak-flow reduction and infiltration features (grass swales, infiltration trenches and grass filter strips) into landscaping and implementing educational programs. The proposed project would incorporate appropriate BMPs during construction, as determined by the City of Lancaster Development Services Department.
Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project consists of 169 single-family residential lots and paseos, with two open space areas including a community center, picnic areas, a dog run, tot lots, and a swimming pool.
The project proposal also includes a change from the existing zoning of R-10,000 to R-7,000.
Single family residences are not a use that would normally generate wastewater that violates water quality standards or exceeds waste discharge requirements. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project would not include any groundwater wells or pumping activities. All water supplied to the proposed project would be obtained from Los Angeles County Waterworks District No. 40. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Development of the proposed project would increase the amount of surface runoff as a result of impervious surfaces associated with the grading of the site. The proposed project would be designed, on the basis of a hydrology study, to accept current flows entering the property and to handle the additional incremental runoff from the developed sites. Therefore, impacts from drainage and runoff would be less than significant.
The project site is designated as Flood Zone X per the Flood Insurance Rate Map (06037C0415F). Flood ZoneX is located outside of both the 100-year flood zone and the 500- year flood zone. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
The project site is not located within a coastal zone. Therefore, tsunamis are not a potential hazard. The project site is relatively flat and does not contain any enclosed bodies of water and is not located in close proximity to any other large bodies of water. Therefore, the proposed project would not be subject to inundation by seiches or mudflows. No impacts would occur.
The proposed project would not conflict or obstruct the implementation of the applicable quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan. For additional information see responses X.a through X.c. Impacts would be less than significant. d

The proposed project consists of subdividing the subject site into 169 individual lots for single family residences with the addition of paseos, with two open space areas including a community center, picnic areas, a dog run, tot lots, and a swimming pool. areas for residents to utilize. The proposed project would not block a public street, trail or other access route or result in a physical barrier that would divide the community. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
The proposed project is consistent with the City's General Plan and must be in conformance with the Lancaster Municipal Code. The proposed project includes the subdivision of 169 individual lots for single-family residences and two open space areas. The proposed project will be in compliance with the City-adopted Uniform Building Code (UBC) and erosion control requirements (Section VID. Additionally, as noted Section IV, the project site is not subject to and would not conflict with a habitat conservation plan or natural communities conservation plan.

a. The City's General Plan (Table 3-l) establishes an outdoor maximum CNEL of 65 dBA for residential uses. Table 8-1 1 of the LMEA provides existing roadway noise levels adjacent to the project site. The current noise levels in the vicinity of the project site is as follows: Avenue K between 60th Street West and 50th Street West is 59.5 dBA; 50th Street West between Avenue K and Avenue K-8 is 61.3 dBA; and 60th Street West between Avenue K and Avenue L is 60.9 dBA. However, the project as proposed would not exceed the 65-dBA threshold. This proposed project is consistent with the standards of the General Plan. While this noise level is consistent with the standards of the General Plan additional features of the proposed project (e.g., landscaping, block walls, etc.) would ensure that the project remains in compliance with the General Plan. Therefore, potential noise impacts associated with trafhc from the proposed development and operational activities would be less than significant.
Construction activities associated with earth-moving equipment and other construction machinery would temporarily increase noise levels for adjacent land uses. Noise sensitive receptors are located immediately adjacent to the project site and construction noise would like be audible at these locations. However, all construction activities would occur in accordance with the City's noise ordinance with respect to days of the week and time of day and mitigation measures have been identified to reduce the noise generated by construction activities to the extent feasible. With incorporation of these measures, construction noise would still be audible but would not exceed established standards and impacts would be less than significant.

Mitieation Measures
17. Construction operations shall not occur between 8 p.m. andT a.m. on weekdays or Saturday or at any time on Sunday. The hours of any construction-related activities shall be restricted to periods and days permitted by local ordinance.
18. The on-site construction supervisor shall have the responsibility and authority to receive and resolve noise complaints. A clear appeal process to the owner shall be established prior to construction commencement that will allow for resolution of noise problems that cannot be immediately solved by the site supervisor.
19. Electrically powered equipment shall be used instead of pneumatic or intemal combustion powered equipment, where feasible.
20. Material stockpiles and mobile equipment staging, parking and maintenance areas shall be located as far away as practicable from noise-sensitive receptors.
21.The use of noise producing signals, including homs, whistles, alarms, and bells shall be for safety warning purposes only.
22. No project-related public address or music system shall be audible at any adjacent receptor. All noise producing construction equipment and vehicles using intemal combustion engines shall be equipped with mufflers, air-inlet silencers where appropriate, and any other shrouds, shields, or other noise-reducing features in good operating condition that meet or exceed original factor specifications. Mobile or ltxed "package" equipment (e.g., arc-welders, air compressors, etc.) shall be equipped with shrouds and noise control features that are readily available for the type of equipment.
b. It is not anticipated that construction of the proposed project would require the use of machinery that generates ground-borne vibration as no major subsurface construction (e.g., parking garage) is planned. No ground mounted industrial-type equipment that generates ground vibration would be utilized once the project is constructed and operational. Therefore, no impacts associated with ground-bome vibration/noise are anticipated.
The project site is not in proximity to an airport or a frequent overflight area and would not experience noise from these sources. Therefore, no impacts would occur. c.

The proposed project would result in an incremental increase in population growth; however, this increase was anticipated in both the City's General Plan and in the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG's) most recent Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). Additionally, while it is likely that individuals involved in the construction of the proposed project or residing at the proposed project would come from the Antelope Valley any increase in population would contribute, on an incremental basis, to the population of the City. As such, impacts would be less than significant.
The project site is currently vacant. No housing or people would be displaced necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. Therefore, no impacts would occur.

a. The proposed project may increase the need for fire and police services during construction and operation; however, the project site is within the current service area of both these agencies and the additional time and cost to service the sites is minimal. The proposed project would not induce substantial population growth and therefore, would not increase the demand on parks or other public facilities. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Construction of the proposed project may result in an incremental increase in population (see Item XIII) and may increase the number of students in the Westside Union School District and Antelope Valley Union High School District. Proposition 1A, which governs the way in which school funding is carried out, predetermines by statute that payment of developer fees is adequate mitigation for school impacts.

a. The proposed project does not conflict with or impede any of the General Plan policies or specific actions related to altemative modes of transportation. Additionally, the proposed project provides recreational facilities that would encourage altemative transportation. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
In July 2020, the City of Lancaster adopted standards and thresholds for analyzing projects with respect to vehicle miles traveled (VMT). A series of screening criteria were adopted and if a project meets one of these criteria, a VMT analysis is not required. These criteria are: 1) project site - generates fewer than 110 trips per day; 2) locally serving retail - commercial developments of 50,000 square feet or smaller; 3) project located in a low VMT area - 15% below baseline; 4) transit proximity; 5) affordable housing; and 6) transportation facilities.
The project site is located within a low VMT area; specifically, this area has a VMT which is at least 15% below the Antelope Valley Planning Area (AVPA) threshold. As such, a VMT analysis is not required and no impacts would occur.
Street improvements are required as part of the conditions of approval and would ensure that traffic flows smoothly in the vicinity of the project site. No hazardous conditions would be created by these improvements. Therefore, no impacts would occur. d. The project site would have adequate emergency access from Avenue K.

The proposed project would discharge to the District's Avenue J West Trunk Sewer, located in Avenue J at 55th Street West. According to the letter dated August 15,2017 from the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles (LACSD), this 36-inch diameter trunk sewer has a design capacity of 15.8 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of 2.6 mgd when last measured in 2014. The project's wastewater would be treated at the Lancaster Water Reclamation Plant upon connection which has a design capacity of 18 mgd and currently processes an average recycled water flow of 12.8 mgd. The expected average wastewater flow from the proposed project is 43,940 gallons per day. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
d-e. Solid waste generated within the City limits is generally disposed of at the Lancaster Landfill located at 600 East Avenue F. This landfill is a Class III landfill which accepts agricultural, nonfriable asbestos, construction/demolition waste, contaminated soil, green materials, industrial, inert, mixed municipal, sludge, and waste tires. It does not accept hazardous materials. Assembly Bill (AB) 939 was adopted in 1989 and requireda25o/o diversion of solid waste from landfills by 1995 and a50o/o diversion by 2005. ln 2011, AB 341 was passed which requires the State to achieve a 75Yo reduction in solid waste by 2030. The City of Lancaster also requires all developments to have trash collection services in accordance with City contracts with waste haulers over the life of the proposed project. These collection services would also collect recyclable materials and organics. The trash haulers are required to be in compliance with applicable regulations on solid waste transport and disposal, including waste stream reduction mandated under AB 341.
The proposed project would generate solid waste during construction and operation, which would contribute to an overall impact on landfill service (GPEIR pgs. 5.9-20 to 21); although the project's contribution is considered minimal. However, the existing landfill has capacity to handle the waste generated by the project. Additionally, the proposed project would be in compliance with all State and local regulations regulating solid waste disposal. Therefore, impact would less than significant.

by projects are site specific and generally do not influence the impacts on another site. All projects undergo environmental review and have required mitigation measures to reduce impacts when warranted. These mitigation measures reduce environmental impacts to less than significant levels whenever possible. All impacts associated with the proposed project are less than significant with the exception of air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils (soil erosion), hazards and hazardous materials, and noise. Impacts associated with these issues are less than significant with the incorporation of the identified mitigation measures.
Therefore, the project's contribution to cumulative impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.

To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Jeff Hogan, Senior Director - Development Services Chenin Dow, Senior Manager – Real Estate & Economic Development Sydney Yeseta, Assistant Manager – Real Estate & Economic Development Subject: “Stand Strong” Youth Sports Loan Program Forgiveness Recommendations:
1. Approve the forgiveness of all “Stand Strong” Youth Sports loans awarded to local non-profit youth sports organizations that were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to finalize and execute all related documents.
Fiscal Impact:
$96,250.00 in funds that would otherwise have been repaid over time in accordance with the terms of the original loans. Funding received through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) would reimburse the General Fund for these expenses.
Background:
In December 2021, the City Council approved the “Stand Strong” Youth Sports Loan Program in an effort to aid local non-profit youth sports organizations that were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The City partnered with Mission Bank to administer the loan program. The loans provided $2,500.00 - $20,000.00 interest-free funds to not-for-profit organizations to be used to purchase working capital items, such as PPE gear and cleaning supplies, required COVID-19 testing, facility rental fees, and to help offset costs of operating said organization, including rent, utilities, and equipment that was not covered by registration dues because of decreased enrollment in sporting programs as a result of the pandemic.
The City received five loan applications, and four loans have been awarded. The one remaining loan is currently in process, and is slated to be awarded before the end of the year. It is included in the fiscal impact amount listed above.
The proposed loan forgiveness would significantly assist the youth sports organizations by removing the burden of paying back the loan, and allowing them to focus on continuing to serve our youth, creating a healthier and more vibrant community.
Pursuant to IRS guidelines, any debt forgiveness of more than $600.00 may be reportable as income. The City will issue a 1099 to loan forgiveness recipients.

Subject: Professional Services Agreement - Project Advisor of Clean Energy Ministerial / DOE H2 Twin Cities Mentor-Mentee Program
Recommendation:
Approve a Professional Services Agreement with Enso Advisory Services, LLC (“Enso”) of New York, New York, in the amount of $288,000.00. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all documents.
Fiscal Impact:
$288,000; sufficient funds are available in the account number 101-4200-301.
Background:
In 2020, the City of Lancaster announced its intention to become the first renewable Hydrogen City. Lancaster is working with several organizations to increase the production and use of renewable hydrogen and other sources of clean energy. In May of 2022, the City applied to the Clean Energy Ministerial/DOE H2 Twin Cities Mentor-Mentee Program with Namie, Japan and Hawai’i County. Upon Council approval, Enso will continue to advise the City on the Clean Energy Ministerial/DOE H2 Twin Cities Mentor-Mentee program pursuant to a contract awarded in November 2022 for the first 18 months of the proposed five-year program.
H2 Twin Cities is a global initiative connecting cities and communities worldwide to deploy clean hydrogen solutions. The program is designed for the DOE to support cities sharing ideas, mentorship, building a community of renewable hydrogen best practices, and strengthening the global commitment to environmental justice, social equity, and clean energy jobs. In an unofficial capacity, Enso supported the City in its application to the Clean Energy Ministerial/DOE H2 Twin Cities Mentor-Mentee Program via introductions to the mayors and key staff of Namie Town, Japan, and Hawai’i County. Enso has already established a working relationship with the City for the past twenty-four months creating key resources and insight on the City’s supporters, obstacles, and past contact relationships who’ve provided additional 1 1

outreach efforts in support of renewable hydrogen.
Enso is headquartered in New York, NY and several of its team members are located in Southern California. The firm is an advisor, arranger, and developer of renewable energy projects and programs whose mission is to develop sustainable solutions with the latest technologies and a robust business model to build infrastructure that uses resources sustainably and efficiently. Its team members have decades of experience in hydrogen, renewable energy, project development, finance, real estate and global business. Enso’s CEO, Lex Heslin, founded and led several businesses in these sectors and was previously in project finance at Sanwa Bank in Tokyo and in structured finance at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York. Senior Managing Director, Tak Yokoo, previously served as Chief Engineer of Toyota Motor North America and Senior Executive Engineer of Advanced Fuel Cells, including responsibility for building the world’s first OEM heavy duty fuel cell truck. Managing Director Michael L. Clayton previously worked for Citigroup in Tokyo and New York as Managing Director of loan syndications, and has extensive international experience working with large corporations and in financial arrangement and advisory. Mr. Heslin founded Smart Sister Cities, a program developed to merge the diplomatic and economic benefits of sister cities with smart city planning and technology, increasing investment promotion and opportunities for sustainable solutions for municipalities.
In July of 2021, Lancaster became Smart Sister Cities with Namie Town in Fukushima, Japan, attracting global attention to Lancaster as an innovative leader in renewable energy, and a trade and investment hub for clean hydrogen-related companies.

CC:George Harris, Finance and IT Director
Date: December 8, 2022
Subject: Sole Source Justification – Enso Advisory Services Memo: As part of the City’s objective, Enso Advisory Services, LLC (“Enso”), upon Council approval, will continue to advise the City on the Clean Energy Ministerial/DOE H2 Twin Cities Mentor-Mentee program pursuant to a contract awarded in November 2022 for the first 18 months of the proposed five- year program.
H2 Twin Cities is a global initiative connecting cities and communities worldwide to deploy clean hydrogen solutions. The program is designed for the DOE to support cities sharing ideas, mentorship, building a community of renewable hydrogen best practices, and strengthening the global commitment to environmental justice, social equity, and clean energy jobs. The City of Lancaster applied to the program in May 2022.
Enso has already established a working relationship with the City for the past twenty-four months creating essential resources and insight on the City’s key supporters, obstacles, and past contact relationships who’ve provided additional outreach efforts.
In an unofficial capacity, Enso initially supported the City in its application to the Clean Energy Ministerial/DOE H2 Twin Cities Mentor-Mentee Program via introductions to the mayors and key staff of Namie Town, Japan, and Hawai’i County. Enso arranged numerous calls, with translation, and in- person meetings to discuss alignment and goals for the program and interface with DOE and Japanese government agency officials on behalf of the City of Lancaster. Enso assisted the City in planning its first visit by City officials to Japan in August 2022. This visit included extensive promotion of the City at international conferences, high-level meetings with elected officials and agencies, meetings with companies interested in potential direct investments in renewable hydrogen and energy-related projects in Lancaster, and a full agenda of meetings with the Mayor and staff of Namie Town to discuss how the cities could benefit by sharing market information, business opportunities, best practices, contacts, and trade and investment data, to attract companies interested in locating projects and plants.
Enso is the only consultant with previous experience with specific City of Lancaster renewable hydrogen development and is a specialized consultant in developing renewable energy projects. With their extensive knowledge of current renewable hydrogen development, key relationships, and existing resources, bringing on another consultant would contradict any cost savings. Therefore, the City has no cost benefit to obtaining additional quotes from other consultants for this project. - -

Subject:Amending Classification Schedule and Increasing the Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Headcount
Recommendations:
1. Adopt Resolution 22-62, amending Resolution 21-65, establishing a compensation schedule for various classifications of employees of the City of Lancaster and adding 37 additional FTE positions.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of the additional FTE positions increases salary & benefit financial forecast projections by $64,368.00 through June 30, 2022.
•No additional funding needs for thirty (30) FTE in the Public Safety Department; •$64,368 in additional funding required for one (1) FTE in the City Manager’s Office; •No additional funding needs for one (1) FTE in the Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Community Services Department; and
•No additional funding needs for five (5) Air Quality Management District (AQMD) positions.
Background:
The proposed thirty (30) new FTE will allow the Public Safety Department to provide additional law enforcement resources to aid in addressing crime and quality of life issues. With the current crime trends, the City recognizes the need to be proactive and create a system to mitigate potential serious issues. The City recently hired a new Public Safety Director who is providing a fresh perspective and creating a department to fill the highest needs within the community. By creating this new structure within Public Safety, it gives our city the ability to address the "root causes" behind some of these long-term issues. This will be accomplished through an extensive Hybrid Policing program which includes hiring six City of Lancaster District Coordinating Peace Officers to enhance service to our community and supplement our existing Sheriff’s Department law enforcement resources. as well as strong community engagement to ensure we are connecting with the citizens of Lancaster.
The program's strength lies in its holistic approach to providing not only public safety, but problem-solving and support. A community policing approach which involves proactive strategies with extensive community engagement and fostering more formal partnerships of service with the various community and social service organizations that intersect with public safety.
The Public Safety Department shall consist of three separate divisions:
•Community Policing
•Services
•Administration
Community Policing Division encompasses our Public Spaces and Law Enforcement Sections.
The Public Spaces Section will include the Homeless Encampment Outreach Team, Parks and City Security Services, Emergency Operations Services, and Public Safety Technologies. The Law Enforcement Section will include resources dedicated to assist with traffic collision reporting, parking enforcement, code enforcement, and the city's Hybrid Policing Services.
The Services Division will include city resources dedicated to addressing social service issues in the community, including homelessness, education and youth diversion, mental health, and children and family services. In addition, building a strong partnership with our faith-based community to aid in addressing and identifying issues and working together to solve problems.
The Administrative Division will ensure city, county, state, and federal mandates are met, as well as oversee budget and contract compliance. The branch will also be responsible for policy and training development and grant research.
Two additional positions will be held within the City Manager’s Office and the Parks, Arts Recreation and Community Services Department, assisting residents at the City Hall Main Entrance with various other needs. One (1) of these positions will be dedicated to helping residents with Passports.
Five (5) positions will be dedicated to the acquisition of the Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District.
