PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING
On March 1, 2023, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Canyon Ranch applications and CEQA supporting documents. The following changes were requested and new conditions were also recommended for City Council’s ratification:
1. Dedicate Lot 33 of TTM 20403 as a park/open space area in connection with the stormwater basin. Applicant shall work with staff to design this new active park that will serve the future needs of the community.
2. Dedicate Lot 53 of TTM 20404 as a park/open space area in connection with the stormwater basin. Applicant shall work with staff to design this new active park that will serve the future needs of the community.
3. Applicant shall work with the Historical Commission and City Staff to design a historical art element such as a mural or a plaque for the perimeter wall at San Timoteo Canyon Road and Nevada Street intersection.
4. Applicant shall widen the landscape right-of-way setback area from 2’ to 5’. This condition applies to the area adjacent to the block wall that runs along San Timoteo Road, for TTM 20403 only. This condition does not apply to TTM 20404.
5. All vinyl fencing shall be increased to 6’ in height, including the side and rear lot vinyl fencing at all reverse corner lots.
If the aforementioned conditions are ratified by City Council, the project map and plans would change. There would be 124 residential lots instead of 126; two of the original 126 residential lots would convert into park area. In addition, the Variance Request would change to read vinyl fencing and walls to be 6’ in height rather than 5’-6” to allow for more privacy and security.
Lastly, adding the additional 3’ of landscaping to the parkway area down San Timoteo Canyon Road would slightly decrease the lot sizes for four lots in Map 20403. All lots within this subdivision, however, would continue to be a minimum of 7,200 square feet in size, as required by the Municipal Code.
The decrease in the number of residential lots or lot size, and the increase in open space area, does not affect the Initial Study or the environmental review. Recirculation of the Initial Study or notices would not be required.
Although the plans might change upon Council’s final approval and ratification of the proposed project, the remainder of this Staff Report will continue to include information from the original proposal of 126 residential lots, as described in the Project Description found in the Notice of Public Hearing document.

BACKGROUND
In fall of 2020, Highpointe Communities, Inc, submitted a preliminary development application for the proposed Canyon Ranch annexation and residential subdivision project. Staff reviewed the conceptual plans and provided comments that outlined specific information and requirements for such project. On May 6, 2021, the applicant paid and submitted the official applications to start the review process. Lilburn Corporation was contracted to help process the applications and prepare the environmental document.
ANALYSIS
Annexation
The City of Loma Linda is initiating the annexation of approximately 141 acres in an unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County. The annexation area consists of 51 parcels with the following APNs: 0293-071-03, 0293-071-04, 0293-071-05, 0293-071-06, 0293-071-07, 0293-071-08, 0293-071-09, 0293-071-10, 0293-071-11, 0293-071-12, 0293-071-13, 0293-071- 16, 0293-071-17, 0293-071-18, 0293-071-19, 0293-081-02, 0293-081-03, 0293-081-04, 0293- 081-05, 0293-081-06, 0293-081-07, 0293-081-09, 0293-081-11, 0293-081-12, 0293-081-13, 0293-081-14, 0293-081-16, 0293-081-17, 0293-081-19, 0293-091-04, 0293-091-05, 0293-091- 08, 0293-101-05, 0293-101-08, 0293-101-11, 0293-101-12, 0293-101-13, 0293-101-14, 0293- 111-15, 0293-111-16, 0293-111-17, 0293-111-18, 0293-111-19, 0293-111-20, 0293-111-21, 0293-111-22, 0293-121-05, 0293-121-15, 0293-121-16, 0293-121-17, 0293-121-18.
All 51 parcels associated with the 141-acre area are required to be annexed to avoid the creation of an island, which is not permitted by LAFCO. If 25 percent of property owners within the precinct (one precinct covers entire Annexation area) control at least 25 percent of the assessed land value in the proposed annexation area, the annexation cannot be protested. Within the 141- acre Annexation area 25 percent of property owners (Southeastern California Conference 7th Day Ad and Islamic Community Center of Redlands owning 52 percent of the land) and owning at least 25 percent of the land value (Southeastern California Conference 7th Day Adventist and Islamic Community Center of Redlands owning 30.5 percent of the land value) cannot protest City Council Staff Report Page 4 of 16
the annexation as both said land owners are currently under contract (Development Agreement) with the City to receive water with a requirement to annex into the City at a future date.
Existing and Proposed Services
Existing development within the annexation area is currently serviced by their own wells. As of the date of preparation of this Initial Study only one property within the 141-acre Annexation area (Islamic Temple located north of Beaumont Avenue and west of San Timoteo Canyon Road) has requested and been granted water service by the City of Loma Linda.
Existing development/landowners within the 141-acre annexation area would continue to receive water service via private wells or from the City of Loma Linda. Proposed development (i.e., TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) would receive water service from the City upon annexation.
Future development would also receive other City services (including sewer) upon annexation.
The 141-acre annexation area currently receives fire protection services from the City of Loma Linda. Police protection is currently provided by the County of San Bernardino. Since the City of Loma Linda provides police protection under contract with the County, police services would remain unchanged.
Proposed Development/Maps
Highpointe Communities (Applicant) is requesting approval of two subdivisions within the annexation area. A 10.96-acre area (TTM 20403) within the annexation area consists of four parcels (APN 0293-081-09, -11, -12 and -19) located south of Barton Road, north of Bermudez Street, east of New Jersey Street and west of San Timoteo Canyon Road. TTM 20403 would consist of 37 residential lots (minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet) and a 20,831 square-foot letter lot. Access to the subdivision would be provided by San Timoteo Canyon Road. The Applicant is requesting to vacate the extension of Bermudez Street to San Timoteo Canyon Road and end Bermudez Street as a cul-de-sac.
A 55.72-acre area is also proposed for subdivision (TTM 20404) and annexation and consists of six parcels (APN 0293-111-18, -19, and -21, and 0293-101-08, -11, and -13) located east of San Timoteo Creek Channel, south of New Jersey Street, west of Nevada Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road, and north and immediately south of Beaumont Avenue. TTM 20404 would consist of 89 residential lots (maximum density of 2 units per acre) and two lettered lots (Lot A consisting of 58,646 square feet and Lot B consisting of 3,834 square feet). Access to the subdivision would be provided by Nevada Street.
TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 total approximately 66.68 acres; they include the development of 126 residential units and three lettered lots. Under the current San Bernardino County designation of Rural Living (RL-5), future development of the 66.68-acre area (without annexation) could include up to 13 dwelling units.
Vacant Land within Annexation Area
A 7.73-acre parcel and a 2.14-acre parcel totaling 9.87 acres within the 141-acre annexation area are currently vacant and available for potential future development. Currently the Countywide Plan designates the entire 141-acre annexation area as Rural Living (RL-5) (5-acre minimum lots). TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 are currently pre-zoned by the City of Loma Linda as General Commercial (C-2) and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL) (0-2 dwelling units per acre), City Council Staff Report Page 5 of 16
respectively. The Applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zoning Change (ZC) to change the current pre-zone of General Commercial to Low Density Residential (R-1, 0 to 4 du/ac) for four of the 14 commercial designated lots within the 141-acre annexation area (see Attachments G and H). The remaining pre-zoned land use designations within the 141-acre annexation area would remain and include General Commercial (C-2), Low Density Residential (R-1), and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL).
With implementation of the GPA, ZC, and annexation, and under the City’s pre-zone of HR-VL, the 66.68-acre area could be developed with 126 dwelling units; 113 dwelling units more than permitted under the Countywide Plan. Based on the 9.87 acres of vacant land available within the 141-acre annexation area, the analysis within the Initial Study, where applicable, includes a review of the delta (change in impacts) in changing the current land use designation from the County designation of RL-5, which would result in the potential future development of one residential dwelling unit for each vacant area, to the pre-zoned City designation of General Commercial (C-2), which would result in the future development of 202,031 square feet and 55,931 square feet of commercial upon annexation.
Existing Land Uses and Compliance with Pre-Zoning
As previously stated, the entire 141-area annexation area is currently zoned by San Bernardino County as RL-5. For the area immediately south of Beaumont Avenue (a total of five parcels), the three parcels owned by San Bernardino County Flood Control currently used for flood control purposes would be an allowed use under the existing pre-zone designation of Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL). Similarly, the other two parcels that are currently developed with two single-family residences, the existing dwelling units would be permitted uses under the existing pre-zone of HR-VL. Although the parcels are about half-acre in size, annexation of the two existing single-family residences would result in a more compliant land use compared to the existing County designation of RL-5, which requires a five-acre parcel size for newly created lots.
Existing Setting
Approximately 65 acres (64.45 acres) of the 141-acre annexation area is developed and includes the following land uses: residential, religious assembly, wellness facility and flood control facilities; of this 65-acre area less than two acres are currently used for agriculture (citrus groves). Approximately 34 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is owned by San Bernardino County Flood Control District and land use associated with this area includes San Timoteo channel right-of-way.
Property to the north of the 141-acre annexation area is located within the City and has land use designations of Commercial (C-2), Institutional-Healthcare (I-HC) and High Density Residential (R-3) and contains residential development and the Loma Linda Surgical Hospital. Properties to the west occur within the City of Loma Linda and include scattered residential, vacant land and the Union Pacific Railroad and are designated as Low Density Residential and Planned Community (PC). Properties to the south are within the sphere of influence and are pre-zoned Low Density and Medium Density Hillside Residential (HR-LD and HR-MD) and include vacant land and citrus groves south of the Union Pacific Railroad. Property to the east is located within the City of Redlands and is designated Agriculture and Single Family Residential and includes vacant land, agriculture (citrus groves) and scattered residences.
City Council Staff Report Page 6 of 16
The 141-acre annexation area currently receives fire protection services from the City of Loma Linda Fire through a joint response/automated aid agreement with the County Fire Department, specifically the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) and its Valley Service Zone. Upon annexation the Project Site would be detached from the SBCFPD, Valley Service Zone (Zone FP-5) and would continue to be served by the City of Loma Linda. Police protection is currently provided by the County of San Bernardino. Since the City of Loma Linda provides police protection under contract with the County, police services would remain unchanged. The 126 single-family residential units would be required to receive water and sewer service, which upon annexation would be provided by the City of Loma Linda.
Preliminary Landscaping Plan
A conceptual landscape plan and fencing plan has been provided to show the proposed plotting of shrubs, trees, and ground cover, as well as the wall and fencing plan for the two tracts (Attachments B and C).
The proposed 6-foot perimeter wall will be split face block with a cap. The wall will have pilasters no less than 20’ apart from each other. All walls will receive anti-graffiti coating on the public view side. The vinyl fencing is proposed to be 5’-6” in height, and will be placed within the interior lots. As proposed, the wall and fencing plotting will require approval of a variance.
Details and findings to support the variance request are found on pages 12 and 13 of the staff report.
The plan also illustrates the preliminary layout of the sidewalks, pedestrian trail, and parkways.
The internal street trees will have an average spacing of 25’. The street trees along San Timoteo will have a spacing of approximately 30’. Staff worked with the applicant to ensure there would not be any proposed invasive or high-maintenance trees planted within the public right-of-way.
The 16-foot parkway along San Timoteo Canyon Road and Nevada Street will have a 2’ landscape area adjacent to the block wall, followed by a 6’ decomposed granite (DG) trail, a 3’ landscaped strip for the street trees, and a 5’ sidewalk next to the street.
Plan for Services and Fiscal Impact Analysis
The City of Loma Linda has completed a Plan for Service and Fiscal Impact Analysis for the annexation (Attachment I). The plan details existing conditions at the site and how the City currently provides services (i.e., water, trash pickup, law enforcement and emergency services) to the unincorporated areas in Loma Linda. Additional services (i.e., sewer, street lights, street improvements) will also be provided in the area following annexation. The document also discloses the benefits and liabilities to the residents and the City as well as, the fluctuations in costs for these services.
Currently, the 66.68-acre area proposed for development is void of street lights, gutters, and a sewer system. Proposed development of the 66.68-acre would comply with the standards and conditions of the City of Loma Linda Department of Public Works, pending completion of the annexation process.
Upon annexation, the proposed 126 single-family residential development would connect to the City’s sewer collection system existing in Barton Road. The developer would be responsible for connecting the proposed development to the City’s sewer system.
The City will benefit from the Annexation as it will receive increases in subventions from the State (e.g. gasoline tax, licensing fees, and park bonds) and recoup the costs of services that are currently paid by the County (e.g. Fire Department services).

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) STATUS
Pursuant to CEQA, the City proposes to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project. Lilburn Corporation prepared the required environmental Initial Study. The Initial Study evaluated the potential impacts of the project and identified appropriate mitigation measures. All of the potential impacts that were identified in the Initial Study can be mitigated to below a level of significance. The mitigation measures are included as project Conditions of Approval (Attachment F). Therefore, the project can be approved with a Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the requirements of CEQA.
AB 52
On April 20, 2022, Staff received correspondence from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians regarding the City’s intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration. According to the Tribe, although the area is outside the existing reservation, the project site falls within the Serrano ancestral territory. However, due to the nature and location of the Proposed Project, the Tribe does not have any concerns with the Project’s implementation. The Tribe requested the City to provide measures in place to ensure potential cultural resources are preserved and returned to the Tribe. Appropriate mitigation was added to the Initial Study and Conditions of Approval.
MND
On October 17, 2022, a Notice of Intent (NOI) to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Initial Study (Attachment D) was prepared and circulated for public review. The State Clearinghouse number is: 2022100349. The mandatory 30-day CEQA public review began on October 18, 2022 and ended on November 17, 2022. A total of two (2) comment letters were received.
On November 17, 2022, the Local Agency Formation Commission for San Bernardino County submitted a letter indicating they had two comments on the Draft Initial Study and included the following suggestions: 1) list the Low density Residential (R-1) pre-zone being proposed; and for Fire Protection on page 62 provide additional information discussing the detachment from “San Bernardino County Fire Protection District and its Zone FP-5, because the “Valley Service Zone” as listed in the Draft Initial Study, is only a component of the service provider. Both requested changes were made to the Final Initial Study. The other comment was received on November 16, 2022 from a local citizen inquiring about the environmental impacts. See Attachment J to review the public comment letters and staff’s response.
Comments received did not result in the need for significant revision of the Initial Study or recirculation. As previously stated, minor clarifications to the existing pre-zone being listed on page one and clarification of which specific fire agency (i.e., the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District) and its Valley Service Zone, specifically its Zone FP-5 the Project Site would detach from. The clarification was made on page 62 of the Final Initial Study. Potentially significant impacts identified in the Initial Study can be mitigated to a level of less than significant and mitigation measures have been included as Conditions of Approval (Attachment F). Therefore, the project can be approved with adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the requirements of CEQA.
MEASURE V
City Council Staff Report Page 8 of 16
On November 7, 2006, the Loma Linda voters passed Measure V, The Residential and Hillside Development Control Measure. Staff analyzed the project using the adopted development guidelines in Chapter 19.16 of the Loma Linda Municipal Code (LLMC) and determined that the project complies with the requirements of Measure V, as follows:
Section I (F)(2) of Measure V requires that traffic Levels of Service (LOS) be maintained at level C or better.
Section I (F)(2) – To assure the adequacy of various public services and to prevent degradation of the quality of life experienced by the residents of Loma Linda, all new development projects shall assure by implementation of appropriate mitigation measures that, at a minimum, traffic levels of service (LOS) are maintained at a minimum of LOS C throughout the City, except where the current level of service is lower than LOS C. In any location where the level of service is below LOS C at the time an application for a development project is submitted, mitigation measures shall be imposed on that development project to assure, at a minimum, that the level of traffic service is maintained at levels of service that are no worse than those existing at the time an application for development is filed. In any location where the Level of Service is LOS F at the time an application for a development project is submitted, mitigation measures shall be imposed on that development project to assure, at a minimum, that the volume to capacity ratio is maintained at a volume to capacity ratio that is no worse than that existing at the time an application for development is filed. Projects where sufficient mitigation to achieve the above stated objectives is infeasible shall not be approved unless and until the necessary mitigation measures are identified and implemented.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) dated January 2022, and a Vehicle Miles Traveled Screening Assessment Dated March 2022, was prepared by Ganddini Group, Inc. to assess potential impacts of the Project on the existing circulation system.
The TIA was based on standard City of Loma Linda procedures, and the County of San Bernardino Transportation Impact Study Guidelines, July 2019. Level of Service analysis was performed for assessing conformance with General Plan and operational standards established by the City. Level of Service is used to qualitatively describe the performance of a roadway facility, ranging from Level of Service A (free-flow conditions) to Level of Service F (extreme congestion and system failure).
The City General Plan Policy T-6.10.1 seeks to maintain Level of Service (C or better) for peak hour intersection operations. In any location where the Level of Service (LOS) is Level of Service (D or worse) at the time an application for a development project is submitted, roadway improvement measures shall be imposed on that development project to assure, at a minimum, that the level of traffic service is maintained at Levels of Service that are no worse than those existing at the time an application for development is filed.
The City of Loma Linda General Plan and Measure V state that peak hour intersection operations of Level of Service C or better are generally acceptable. The study area intersections currently operate at Level of Service C or better during the peak hours for existing traffic conditions.
Improvements that would eliminate all anticipated roadway operational deficiencies throughout the study area have been identified and incorporated as mitigation.
City Council Staff Report Page 9 of 16
The study intersection Levels of Service for Existing Plus Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Existing Plus Project conditions. The study intersection Levels of Service for Opening Year (2024) Without Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Opening Year (2024) Without Project conditions. The study intersection Levels of Service for Opening Year (2024) With Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Opening Year (2024) With Project conditions. Therefore, the proposed project is forecast to result in no project-related Level of Service deficiencies at the study intersections for the Opening Year (2024) With Project scenario.
The study intersection Levels of Service for Year 2040 Without Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Year 2040 Without Project conditions, except for the following study intersection that is forecast to operate at Levels of Service D or worse during peak hours:
Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Rd (EW)(D-AM / E-PM peak hour) The installation of a traffic signal is recommended at the Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road intersection. The study intersections are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours with improvements. However, the Project Proponent is not solely responsible for installation of the traffic signal, especially since it is not warranted until 2040 without Project. In accordance with City of Loma Linda Development Impact Fee program as adopted in 2022, the Project Proponent is required to contribute towards the funding mechanism for arterial streets, traffic signals, interchange improvements as well as emergency services. The purpose is to minimize to the greatest extent practicable, the impact that new development has on the City’s public services and public facilities. The City intends that applicants pay their fair share of the costs of providing such public services and public facilities.
Unless otherwise approved by the City, all development projects are required to pay the Development Impact Fee as a condition of development.
In order to maintain acceptable Levels of Service and mitigate project impacts, the following mitigation measures shall be made conditions of Project approval:
Mitigation Measure T-1:
The Project Proponent shall pay the appropriate transportation Development Impact Fee(s) as required by the City as well as the fair share costs estimated at $38,835 for the installation of a traffic signal, construction of one southbound left turn lane and one westbound right turn lane at the intersection of Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road (EW) as shown in Figure 11 of the March 2022 Traffic Impact Analysis.
Mitigation Measure T-2:
Prior to the start of any construction work, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer a construction work site traffic control plan for review and approval. The plan shall show the location of any roadway, sidewalk, bike route, bus stop or driveway closures, traffic detours, haul routes, hours of operation, protective devices, warning signs and access to abutting properties. Temporary traffic controls used around the construction area shall adhere to the standards set forth in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2014, City Council Staff Report Page 10 of 16
including latest revisions) and construction activities shall adhere to applicable local ordinances.
Implementation of the above mitigation measures would ensure acceptable Levels of Service consistent with Measure V during the peak hours for Year 2040 with Project traffic conditions.
INITIAL STUDY NOTICE AND PUBLIC COMMENTS
In response to the circulation of the Initial Study for this project, the City received comments from agencies, groups, and individuals as follows and as included in Attachment J:
Local Agency Formation Commission for San Bernardino County On November 17, 2022, the Local Agency Formation Commission for San Bernardino County submitted a letter indicating they had two comments on the Draft Initial Study and included the following suggestions: 1) list the Low density Residential (R-1) prezone being proposed; and for Fire Protection on page 62 additional information discussing the detachment from “San Bernardino County Fire Protection District and its Zone FP-5, because the “Valley Service Zone” as initial listed in the Draft Initial Study, is only a component of the service provider. Both requested changes were added to the Final Initial Study.
Mr. Gabriel Brambila
On November 16, 2022, Mr. Brambila provided an email indicating concern with the project’s impact to the endangered kangaroo rat and the loss of habitat. He also expressed concern regarding peak hour traffic, construction-related air quality and noise. In addition, he indicated his concern regarding the aesthetic impacts including changing large 5-acre lots from agricultural use to non-agricultural use. He noted that tract homes will have small lots and there will be over 160 units and other buildings with no recreational areas. City staff submitted a letter in response to Mr. Brambila concerns. No additional impacts were determined based on comments provided by Mr. Brambila.
Comments received were addressed as appropriate through staff’s responses, the Conditions of Approval, and/or in the final documents for the project. Copies of all public comments and responses are maintained in the file for the project.
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE AND COMMENTS
The public hearing notice for this project was mailed to property owners within 300’ of the project site on February 16, 2023. It was also posted at three public locations (City Hall, Post, Library, subject site) as well as the city’s website. Two (2) written public comments were formally received.
Mr. Bob Stewart
On February 22, 2023, Mr. Stewart provided an email indicating concerns with the project location description on the hearing notice and the rezoning of existing lots which would create legal nonconforming issues. Staff responded via email to Mr. Stewarts and clarified that the Notice of Hearing provides a general description. He was provided a detailed vicinity map that indicated the exact borders of both the 141-acre annexation area and the two tract map areas. Moreover, after this comment was received, staff City Council Staff Report Page 11 of 16
provided a stronger description of the boundaries in the staff report that mentioned the five parcels immediately south of Beaumont Ave. In addition, staff confirmed there will be no zone changes occurring on Mr. Stewart’s lot, or any other existing uses or lots outside of the proposed subdivisions. The proposed zone change is only on four vacant parcels that the applicant owns.
Mrs. Sandra Booker
On March 1, 2023, Mrs. Booker provided an email to staff right before the public hearing and she also attended the meeting and spoke during the public comment period. Mrs.
Booker inquired about the widening of Nevada Street, connecting to City sewer, and residential amenities. Staff printed a copy of her letter for each Planning Commissioner.
At the hearing, staff addressed most of her questions and concerns through the presentation.
FINDINGS
General Plan Amendment and Pre-Zone Change
General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zoning Change (ZC) to change the current pre-zone of General Commercial to Low Density Residential (R-1, 0 to 4 du/ac) for four commercial designated lots within the 141-acre annexation area. The proposed GPA and ZC would be compatible with existing residential development to the north, east and west, and future proposed single-family residents to the east within the City of Redlands. Therefore, based on existing and proposed surrounding land uses, the proposed GPA and ZC would not result in any land use compatibility issues with the surrounding area. Under the designation of Low Density Residential, proposed development would be consistent with the City’s General Plan.
General Plan Amendment Findings
An amendment to the General Plan may be adopted only if all of the following findings are made:
1. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with the General Plan; TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 are currently pre-zoned by the City of Loma Linda as General Commercial (C-2) and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL) (0-2 dwelling units per acre), respectively. The General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zoning Change (ZC) would change the current pre-zone of General Commercial to Low Density Residential (R-1, 0 to 4 du/ac) for four of the 14 commercial designated lots within the 141-acre annexation area.
The remaining pre-zoned land use designations would remain and include General Commercial (C-2), Low Density Residential (R-1), and Very Low Density Residential (HRVL) and would allow for the proposed project. In addition, all proposed zone changes would be consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment.
2. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City;
The proposed amendment and associated TTM 20403 (37-unit single-family development project) would not be detrimental to the public in that the proposed residential community would be compatible with existing residential development proposed west of the site.
Property to the north of the 141-acre annexation area is located within the City of Loma Linda and has land use designations of Commercial (C-2), Institutional-Healthcare (I-HC) City Council Staff Report Page 12 of 16
and High Density Residential (R-3) and contains residential development and the Loma Linda Surgical Hospital. Properties to the west occur within the City of Loma Linda and include scattered residential, vacant land and the Union Pacific Railroad and are designated Low Density Residential and Planned Community (PC). Properties to the south are zoned City of Loma Linda Low Density Hillside Residential (HR-LD) and include vacant land and citrus groves south of the Union Pacific Railroad. Property to the east is located within the City of Redlands and is designated Agriculture and Single Family Residential and includes vacant land, agriculture (citrus groves) and scattered residences.
With appropriate setbacks and development of the TTM sites in accordance with the City’s Municipal Code, the proposed GPA would be compatible with existing and future development. Therefore, based on existing surrounding zoning, the proposed GPA and implementation of the Proposed Project would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
3. The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City; and,
The balance of land uses in the City will not be adversely affected by the proposed amendment. The change of the land use designation, specifically the pre-zone of General Commercial for four of 14 parcels within the annexation area, would not significantly remove a substantial amount of land available for commercial development. An appropriate balance of land use would be maintained for the area.
4. In the case of a General Plan Amendment, the subject parcel(s) is physically suitable (including, but limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development.
The 10.96-acre area (TTM 20403) and the 55.72-acre area (TTM 20404) have frontage on San Timoteo Canyon Road and Nevada Street, respectively. The proposed 126-unit singlefamily residential development will be compatible with surrounding uses (see response No. 2). All public utilities are available to the site and can be provided for future site occupants.
The residential use would be compatible with the residential neighborhood to the north, west and east; thus proposed development will be suitable for the area.
Zone Change Findings
The Zone Change application is considered a legislative act and does not require findings. State law requires the zoning be consistent with the General Plan and as such, City staff is committed to making the specific findings as listed above due to the size and scope of the project.
Tentative Tract Map Findings
1. That the proposed map is consistent with the applicable general plan and pre-zone designations.
The Applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zoning Change (ZC) to change the current pre-zone of General Commercial to Low Density Residential (R-1, 0 to 4 du/ac) for four of the 14 commercial designated lots within the 141-acre annexation area.
Thus, the proposed project is consistent with the amendment to the General Plan.
City Council Staff Report Page 13 of 16
2. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the applicable general plan and zoning designations.
The proposed TTM 20403 complies with the proposed “Low Density Residential” General Plan Land Use designation and was designed in accordance with the Municipal Code, Chapter 17.34 Low Density Residential (R-1) zone. The 37 residential lots would range in size from 7,200 square feet to 20,831 square feet which comply with the minimum lot area of Section 17.34.040 – Minimum Lot Area, and with Measure V, Principle One, (1) Definitions, (c) Minimum Residential Lot Size. This 10.96-acre site is currently vacant. The development of this site with the appropriate residential uses shall enhance the quality of the surrounding neighborhood and the City.
The proposed TTM 20404 complies with the “Very Low Density Residential” General Plan Land Use designation and was designed in accordance with the Municipal Code, Chapter
17.36 Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL) zone. The 89 residential lots would comply with the minimum lot area as provided of Section 17.36.030 – Minimum Lot Area, and with Measure V, Principle One, (1) Definitions, Table 2-4 Hillside Residential Development Standards as well as the requirements for the designated San Timoteo Creek Area. A 55.72- acre site is currently vacant and the development of the site with the appropriate residential uses would enhance the quality of the surrounding neighborhood and the City.
3. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.
The TTM sites are physically suitable for the 126 single-family homes and zoning of Low Density Residential and Very Low Density Residential as the surrounding area provides roadways, infrastructure and utilities. The Project would not disrupt or divide the immediate area. The 10.96-acre and 55.72-acre sites are currently vacant. Development will generally enhance the area. Based on the analyses provided in the Initial Study, the project would not result in impacts to the established community.
4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
TTM 20403 property is approximately 10.96 acres in size and will include 37 residential lots.
The project density of 3.37 dwelling units per acre is less than the maximum density allowed in the City General Plan Land Use designation of “Low Density Residential.” In addition, the 37 residential lots would range in size from 7,200 square feet to 20,831 square feet and would comply with the minimum lot area of LLMC Section 17.34.040 – Minimum Lot Area, and with Measure V, Principle One, (1) Definitions, (c) Minimum Residential Lot Size.
TTM 20404 property is approximately 55.72 acres in size and will include 89 residential lots.
The project density of 1.59 dwelling units per acre is less than the maximum density allowed in the City General Plan Land Use designation of “Very Low Density Residential.” The 89 residential lots would comply with the minimum lot area of Section 17.36.030 – Minimum Lot Area, and with Measure V, Principle One, (1) Definitions, Table 2-4 Hillside Residential Development Standards. This 55.72-acre site is currently vacant.
5. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidably injure fish and wildlife or their habitat.
The habitat on the areas proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 consists of ruderal vegetation and is dominated by tumbleweed (Salsola targus). Portions of the area have been subject to human disturbances and are completely void of vegetation. Additionally, there are signs of disturbance in the form of dumping, foot traffic, and off-road vehicle traffic. Based on the literature review and observations made, no State or federally listed threatened or City Council Staff Report Page 14 of 16
endangered species are expected to occur at the Project Site and in the immediate vicinity.
Additionally, no plant species with the California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) of 1 or 2 were observed in the areas proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 or documented to occur in the relevant databases. No other sensitive species were observed within the Project or buffer area.
No definable bed or bank features exist on the project site, however, the Proposed Project includes a storm drain connection to San Timoteo Wash, a jurisdictional feature subject to Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. At completion of the jurisdictional delineation prepared for the proposed development, it was determined that a drainage connection to San Timoteo Creek would be subject to obtaining a 404 permit from the ACOE and 401 from the RWQCB. Following circulation of the Draft Initial Study, the applicant redesigned the drainage connection to eliminate impacts to jurisdictional water and eliminate the need for a 404 and 401 permit. The redesign of the drainage would be subject to a 408 permit issued by ACOE for discharge to a federal facility, an encroachment permit from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works, and a 1602 permit from CDFW (see Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program [Attachment E]). No additional mitigation is warranted.
6. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems.
The design of the subdivisions and the end use of the residential tracts shall not cause any serious public health problems. All proposed streets and public right of ways shall comply with the City of Loma Linda’s street standards. The Proposed Project includes the vacation of the intersection of Bermudez Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road and construction of a new cul-de-sac with a 30-foot access driveway within TTM 20403. Construction activities would take place within the boundaries of the 66.68-acre area proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. Neither the construction nor post-construction activities would cause serious public health problems. Development on the proposed residential lots shall comply with the development standards identified in the Low Density Residential (R-1) and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL) zones. The Mitigated Negative Declaration does not identify any impacts that could cause serious public health problems.
7. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
Traffic ingress/egress from the proposed TTMs onto adjacent exterior roadways would be provided by San Timoteo Canyon Road and Nevada Street. All entries would be required to comply with required sighting distances as Conditions of Approval. All entrances into the sites would allow full access without impeding the through traffic. Access for an emergency vehicle is adequate with a minimum 30-foot wide street.
Approximately 34 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is owned by San Bernardino County Flood Control District and land use associated with this area includes San Timoteo channel right-of-way. The design of the proposed subdivision does not conflict with any easements and would not disrupt activities within the San Timoteo channel right-of-way.
Findings for the Variance
Findings have been made to support the Variance Request.
City Council Staff Report Page 15 of 16
1. That there are exceptional and extraordinary circumstances of conditions applicable to the property involved.
The proposed residential development is an approximate 67-acre planned site that will house 126 future homes. It is important at this stage of the project to clearly define the exterior perimeter and the limits of each property with the appropriate type of walls and fencing.
There is a need for the applicant to establish the design for future wall and fencing, rather than allow the future property owners to request their own fence or wall permits with no particular guide or plan to follow. The location, type and height of the proposed walls and fencing will provide a sufficient amount of privacy and security for this new development.
These special circumstances warrant approval of the requested variance.
2. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zone and denied to the property in question.
The applicant is proposing a new residential community with a 6’ high block wall at the perimeter of the subdivision as well as on the side property lines of all corner lots. The Code states that wall and fencing must start 15’ away from the side property lines on corner lots. In addition, the applicant is asking for 5’-6” vinyl fencing at the rear portions of all reverse corner lots. The code currently limits it to 5’ in height. As proposed, it is does not comply with the wall and fence standards. However, this proposal is typical of residential development found throughout Loma Linda. Within the past year, 100% of the residential subdivisions have been approved with similar wall and fencing. Between 2018 through 2022, the Planning Commission and City Council approved five different residential subdivisions with similar wall and fencing proposals. All subdivisions were found within the Groves at Loma Linda Specific Plan Area, which required that specific type of design. (Do note, if Council approves the Planning Commission’s recommendations, the wall/fence height will increase to 6’.)
3. That the granting of such a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
The proposed relief from Section 17.14.100 of the LLMC will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to property and improvements. Approving the variance request will not be contrary to the public interest due to the fact that similar variances have been approved in other residentially designated areas. Upon approval and build out of each tract, the construction of the each lot will be subject to the necessary LLMC requirements and Conditions of Approval to ensure safety.
4. The granting of such variances will be consistent with the general plan for the city.
Even with the granting of such variance, the proposed subdivision and future residences will continue be consistent with the General Plan. Residential uses are permitted within the Low Density Residential and Very Low Residential land use designations. The size and locations of the wall and fencing does not contradict the General Plan. Instead, this unique request helps implement the guiding policies of the General Plan by ensuring quality residential development that helps creates neighborhoods that embody the strengths and accomplishments of the community and that preserves the economic investment of new property owners in Loma Linda (Guiding Policy for Residential Land Use § 2.2.2.1) City Council Staff Report Page 16 of 16
5. That a public hearing was held wherein the applicant is heard and in which he substantiates all of the conditions cited in this subsection.
The Project and Variance Request are scheduled for a formal public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council. Conditions are included as part of the approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact the city must bore as a result of an action. However, if the project is approved as proposed, the city will receive revenue from Development Impact Fees (DIF) that will mitigate impacts this development has on the city’s infrastructure needs. Additional building, fire, and public works permit fees will also be assumed by the applicant.
CONCLUSION
Proposed TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 conform to the City’s Subdivision regulations and the Low Density Residential (R-1) and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL) zoning standards, respectively. The GPA would change the existing designation of four parcels within the annexation area from Commercial to Low Density Residential, and a ZC would change the prezone of Low Density Residential for the same four parcels. The proposed project would be compatible with the residential land uses to the north, east and west. The ZC of the City’s prezone of General Commercial to Low Density Residential will facilitate the annexation of the Project Site into the City by serving as a notice to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) of the City's intentions regarding acceptance of TTM 20403 and 20404.
Property taxes will not increase for existing land uses within the 141-acre annexation area as a result of Proposition 13. Property taxes would continue to be collected by the San Bernardino County Tax Assessor’s office after the annexation process is completed.
The granting of the GPA, ZC, and TTMs would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the properties in the vicinity as reviewed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Mitigation Measures listed in the Initial Study and the Mitigation Monitoring Program will minimize the potential environmental impacts and are the responsibility of the subdivider. They have been made part of the Conditions of Approval.

Contact Person: Lorena A. Matarrita
Phone Number: (909) 799-2830
Project Sponsor: Highpointe Communities
Address: 16501 Scientific Way
Irvine, CA 92618
General Plan Designation: Rural Living (RL-5) (minimum 5 acres), Countywide Plan Zoning: Rural Living (RL-5) (minimum 5 acres), Countywide Plan Existing City of Loma Linda Pre-Zone: General Commercial (C-2), Low Density Residential (R1) and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL, 0-2 dwelling units per acre) Project Location: The City of Loma Linda is initiating the annexation of approximately 141 acres located near the City’s eastern boundary and within the City’s Sphere of Influence in an unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County. The Project Site encompasses an approximate 141-acre area generally located east of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR), west of Nevada Street, north and immediately south of Beaumont Avenue and south of Barton Road (see Figure 1 – Regional Location and Figure 2 –Project Vicinity and Figure 3 –Annexation Project Vicinity).
Included in the 141-acre annexation area is a proposed 10.96-acre subdivision (TTM 20403) for the construction of 37 single-family residential units, and a proposed 55.72-acre subdivision (TTM 20404) for the construction of 89 residential units (see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Proposed Site Plans.
The 10.96-acre subdivision site is currently vacant and consists of four parcels (Assessor Parcel Numbers [APNs] 0293-081-09, -11, -12 and -19) located south of Barton Road, north of Bermudez Street, east of New Jersey Street and west of San Timoteo Canyon Road. The 55.72-acre subdivision site is currently vacant and is composed of six parcels (APN 0293-111-18, -19, and - 21, and 0293-101-08, -11, and -13) located east of San Timoteo Creek Channel, south of New Jersey Street, west of Nevada Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road, and north of Beaumont.
Background: During noticing of the project (i.e., Notice of Intent), it was bought to staff’s attention that the boundaries of the annexation area were unclear. Although exhibits in the Initial Study clearly show the boundaries of the annexation area, the text within the document was too general and did not clearly state that the area south of Beaumont Avenue containing five parcels (three parcels owned by County of San Bernardino Flood Control and two parcels owned by individuals) would be annexed. The individuals that requested clarification of the annexation area were contacted via email, phone and in-person to rectify the situation. In addition, the Final Initial Study also provides clarification on the boundaries of the 141-acre annexation.
Annexation: The annexation area consists of 51 parcels with the following APNs: 0293-071-03, 0293-071-04, 0293-071-05, 0293-071-06, 0293-071-07, 0293-071-08, 0293-071-09, 0293-071-

All 51 parcels associated with the 141-acre area are required to be annexed to avoid the creation of an island, which is not permitted by LAFCO. If 25 percent of property owners within the precinct (one precinct covers entire Annexation area) control at least 25 percent of the assessed land value in the proposed annexation area, the annexation cannot be protested. Within the 141-acre Annexation area 25 percent of property owners (Southeastern California Conference 7th Day Ad and Islamic Community Center of Redlands owning 52 percent of the land) and owning at least 25 percent of the land value (Southeastern California Conference 7th Day Adventist and Islamic Community Center of Redlands owning 30.5 percent of the land value) cannot protest the annexation as both said land owners are currently under contract (Development Agreement) with the City to receive water with a requirement to annex into the City at a future date.
Existing and Proposed Services: Existing development within the annexation area is currently serviced by their own wells. As of the date of preparation of this Initial Study only one property within the 141-acre Annexation area (Islamic Temple located north of Beaumont Avenue and west of San Timoteo Canyon Road) has requested and been granted water service by the City of Loma Linda.
Existing development/landowners within the 141-acre annexation area would continue to receive water service via private wells or from the City of Loma Linda. Proposed development (i.e., TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) would receive water service from the City upon annexation. Future development would also receive other City services (including sewer) upon annexation. The 141- acre annexation area currently receives fire protection services from the City of Loma Linda.
Police protection is currently provided by the County of San Bernardino. Since the City of Loma Linda provides police protection under contract with the County, police services would remain unchanged.
Project Description: The City of Loma Linda is initiating the annexation of approximately 141 acres in an unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County. Highpointe Communities (Applicant) is requesting approval of two subdivisions. A 10.96-acre area (TTM 20403) is within the annexation area that consists of four parcels (APN 0293-081-09, -11, -12 and -19) located south of Barton Road, north of Bermudez Street, east of New Jersey Street and west of San Timoteo Canyon Road. TTM 20403 would consist of 37 residential lots (minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet) and a 20,831 square-foot letter lot. Access to the subdivision would be provided by San Timoteo Canyon Road. The Applicant is requesting to vacate the extension of Bermudez Street to San Timoteo Canyon Road and end Bermudez Street as a cul-de-sac.
A 55.72-acre area is also proposed for subdivision (TTM 20404) and annexation and consists of six parcels (APN 0293-111-18, -19, and -21, and 0293-101-08, -11, and -13) located east of San Timoteo Creek Channel, south of New Jersey Street, west of Nevada Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road, and north of Beaumont Avenue. TTM 20404 would consist of 89 residential lots Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
3 (maximum density of 2 units per acre) and two lettered lots (Lot A consisting of 58,646 square feet and Lot B consisting of 3,834 square feet). Access to the subdivision would be provided by Nevada Street. TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 total approximately 66.68 acres and the development of 126 residential units and three lettered lots. Under the current San Bernardino County designation of Rural Living (RL-5), future development of the 66.68-acre area (without annexation) could be developed with 13 dwelling units (see Figure 6 Countywide Zoning Map).
A 7.73-acre parcel and a 2.14-acre parcel totaling 9.87 acres within the 141-acre annexation area are currently vacant and available for potential future development (see Figure 7). Currently the Countywide Plan designates the entire 141-acre annexation area as Rural Living (RL-5) (5 acre minimum lots) (see Figure 8). TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 are currently pre-zoned by the City of Loma Linda as General Commercial (C-2) and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL) (0-2 dwelling units per acre), respectively. The Applicant is requesting a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zoning Change (ZC) to change the current pre-zone of General Commercial to Low Density Residential (R-1, 0 to 4 du/ac) for four of the 14 commercial designated lots within the 141-acre annexation area (see Figure 8). The remaining pre-zoned land use designations within the 141-acre annexation area would remain and include General Commercial (C-2), Low Density Residential (R-1), and Very Low Density Residential (HR-VL).
With implementation of the GPA, ZC and annexation, and under the City’s pre-zone of HR-VL, the 66.68-acre area would be developed with 126 dwelling units; 113 dwelling units more than permitted under the Countywide Plan.
Approximately 65 acres (64.45 acres) of the 141-acre annexation area is developed and includes the following land uses: residential, religious assembly, wellness facility and flood control facilities; of this 65-acre area less than two acres are currently used for agriculture (citrus groves); however approximately 6.15 acres within the area proposed for TTM 20404 (APN 0293-101-18) is designated as Prime Farmland but is currently vacant. Approximately 34 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is owned by San Bernardino County Flood Control District and land use associated with this area includes San Timoteo channel right-of-way. Both the 7.73-acre and
2.14-acre vacant parcels are designated by the County of San Bernardino as Rural Living (RL-5) and could be developed with a maximum of one dwelling unit. Under the City of Loma Linda existing pre-zone designation of General Commercial (C-2), future development of the 7.73-acre parcel could include a maximum of 202,031 square-feet of commercial development (based on maximum lot coverage of 60 percent); and the 2.14-acre parcel could include a maximum of 55,931 square-feet of commercial development.
Based on the 9.87 acres of vacant land available within the 141-acre annexation area, the analysis within this Initial Study, where applicable, includes a review of the delta (change) between the current land use designation of the County, in this case RL-5 resulting in the potential future development of one residential dwelling unit for vacant area, and future development under the City designation of General Commercial (C-2) resulting in the future development of 202,031 square feet and 55,931 square feet of commercial upon annexation.

12 As appropriate, this Initial Study examines the delta being the difference between development of 126 dwelling units upon annexation under the City designation of HR-VL and development of 13 dwelling units under the Countywide Plan designation of RL-5).
Currently, the existing development within the annexation area would continue to receive water service from the City of Loma Linda and the proposed development (i.e., TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) would receive water service from the City upon annexation. Future development would also receive other City services (including sewer) upon annexation. No other development is proposed within the approximate 141-acre annexation area at this time. Any future development of the 9.87 acres of vacant land would be required to prepare separate environmental documentation and obtain necessary entitlements.
Existing Vacant Land within the Annexation Area:
Development Under Countywide Plan Land Use Designations (RL-5) The entire 141-acre annexation area is currently designated RL-5 by the Countywide Plan. Under the County’s designation of RL-5 future development of the 66.68-acre area (proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) could be developed with 13 dwelling units. With implementation of the GPA, ZC and annexation, and under the City’s pre-zone of HR-VL, the 66.68-acre area would be developed with 126 dwelling units.
Within the 141-acre annexation area there is also approximately 9.87 acres of vacant land that could be developed in the future. Under the Countywide Plan, the 9.87 acres could be developed with one dwelling unit (minimum 5 acres), resulting in a total of 14 dwelling units for the vacant areas within the 141-acre annexation area.
Development Under City of Loma Linda Pre-Zone Designation of C-2, and HR/VL Upon project approval, vacant portions of the 141-acre annexation area proposed for development (i.e., TTM 20403 and 20404 totaling approximately 66.68 acres) would be developed with 126 dwelling units. For the 9.87-acre area designated C-2, a total of 202,031 square-feet of commercial development could be developed (based on a maximum lot cover of 60 percent, and a FAR of 0.5).
Comparison of Development Under County Verses City Land Use Designations Under the existing Countywide Plan designation of RL-5, a total of 14 dwelling units could be developed (13 units within the 66.68-acre area proposed for TTMs 20403 and 20404 plus one unit within the 9.87-acre vacant area). Under the existing City pre-zone designation of HR-VL, a total of 126 dwelling units could be developed resulting in approximately 112 more dwelling units as compared to development under the Countywide Plan. This is due to the increase in density under the City’s pre zone of HR/VL which would allow for up to two dwelling units per acre compared to one dwelling unit per 5 acres under the Countywide Plan.
Under the City’s pre-zone of C-2 up to 202,031 square-feet of commercial could be developed.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
13 Vacant areas determined to be potentially developable were examined for purposes of comparing existing conditions and development under the Countywide Plan versus what development could occur upon annexation to the City of Loma Linda. Future development of this area would be subject to CEQA and all the necessary entitlements.
Surrounding Land Uses and Setting:
Surrounding properties and associated pre-zone land use designations are shown in Figure – 8.
Property to the north of the 141-acre annexation area is located within the City of Loma Linda and has land use designations of Commercial (C-2), Institutional-Healthcare (I-HC) and High Density Residential (R-3) and contains residential and the Loma Linda Surgical Hospital. Properties to the west occur within the City of Loma Linda and include scattered residential, vacant land and the Union Pacific Railroad and are designated Low Density Residential and Planned Community (PC). Properties to the south are zoned City of Loma Linda Low Density Hillside Residential (HR-LD) and include vacant land and citrus groves south of the Union Pacific Railroad. Property to the east is located within the City of Redlands and is designated Agriculture and Single Family Residential and includes vacant land, agriculture (citrus groves) and scattered residences.
Existing Service Conditions
The 141-acre annexation area currently receives fire protection services from the City of Loma Linda. Police protection is currently provided by the County of San Bernardino. Since the City of Loma Linda provides police protection under contract with the County, police services would remain unchanged. The 126 single-family residential units would be required to receive water and sewer service, which would be provided by the City of Loma Linda.
Concurrent with the proposed GPA, ZC and TTM filings, an Annexation application will be filed and processed with San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the 141-acre Project Site into the City of Loma Linda. All parcels within the 141-acre area are required to be annexed simultaneously in order to preclude the formation of an island of territory. The Project Site is currently adjacent to the City boundary and is required by the City to be annexed in order to receive City services.
Other Agency Approvals
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) is authorized and mandated by State law as the agency responsible for evaluating and approving annexations to an incorporated city. Subsequent to the initial consideration of an annexation request, a public hearing is held before the LAFCO Commission where the annexation proposal is approved, denied, or modified. LAFCO will serve as the “Conducting Authority” for the city boundary changes.

area?
( ) () ( ) ( )
Comments
a) Less than Significant Impact. According to the City’s General Plan, the Project Site is not within a scenic vista or scenic highway view corridor. The City of Loma Linda’s General Plan identifies the hills within the southern portion of the City as an important scenic backdrop. The guiding polices of the City of Loma Linda General Plan state that new development shall be constructed in a manner that protects against intrusion on the viewshed areas. The San Bernardino Mountains are visible north and northeast of the Project Site. For the development proposed within the annexation area, the maximum height of the single-family structures would typically be 18 – 20 feet (two-stories). Under proposed conditions, the San Bernardino Mountains and the Loma Linda South Hills would remain visible and the proposed development would have less than significant impacts on the existing viewshed. Therefore, no adverse significant impacts would result and no mitigation measures are required.
b) No Impact. The Project Site does not occur near or within a State Scenic Highway corridor. The 66.68-acre area within the approximate 141-acre annexation area that is proposed for development (TTMs 20403 and 20404) is currently vacant. Approval of the Proposed Project would develop the vacant area with residential units. Proposed development would include landscaping with drought tolerant species and trees. The project would not substantially damage scenic resources including trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway as none occur within the
66.68-acre area and the Project Site does not occur near a State Scenic Highway. The nearest State Scenic Highway includes a portion of State Route 38 which begins Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
16 approximately 4.5 miles northeast of the Project Site. Due to the distance to the Scenic Highway no impacts would result. Therefore, no adverse significant impacts would result, and no mitigation measures are required.
c) Less than Significant Impact. Development of TTM 20403 and 20404 would change the existing visual character for a 66.68-acre portion of the 141-acre annexation area.
Between the two subdivisions there would be a total of three lettered lots totaling 83,311 square-feet or about 1.9 acres that would not be developed with homes. All other portions of the 141-acre annexation area would remain unchanged under the Proposed Project. The development of vacant land with the construction of single-family residences would change the visual character of the site but would not objectively be considered a substantial degradation as it would blend with existing residential development to the west and proposed residential development to the east within the City of Redlands (i.e., TTM 20402). Therefore, no adverse significant impacts would result and no mitigation measures would be required.
d) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Upon approval of the Project requested entitlements, the 141-acre area would be annexed into the City of Loma Linda, a GPA and ZC for four (4) parcels would change from Commercial (C-2) to Low Density Residential (R-1), and TTM 20403 and 20404 would be approved. Development of the remaining 9.87-acre vacant area within the annexation area is not proposed at this time.
Future residential development is proposed east of the Project Site within the City of Redlands (TTM 20402). To ensure future residential development adjacent to the Project Site is not impacted, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented:
Mitigation Measure AES-1:
Prior to issuance of grading permits, the applicant shall submit a photometric plan and final lighting plan to City staff showing the exact locations of light poles and the proposed orientation and shielding of all light fixtures to prevent glare onto existing and potential future development to the east, west, north and south of the Project Site.

II. AGRICULTURAL 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 Dept. 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) Less Than Significant Impact. A 6.15-acre portion of TTM 20404 (APN 0293-101-18), occurs on land designated by the Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program as “Prime Farmland1.” The remaining portions of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 are designated as “Grazing Land and Other Land2.” Prime Farmland is land that is known to have the best combination of physical and chemical characteristics for the production of crops. Land with this designation has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields of crops when treated and managed, including water management, according to current farming methods.
In 1982, under Legislative mandate (Government Code § 65570), the State Department of Conservation (DOC) was required to collect and/or acquire data on lands converted to/from agricultural use. The purpose for collecting such information was to provide decision makers with maps and statistical data on the conversion of farmland and grazing land that would assist in the land use planning process. Important Farmland maps prepared biannually by the DOC Division of Land Resource Protection are heavily based on soil classification data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and water availability determined by the State Department of Water Resources. Utilizing this information, land is classified into one of eight categories (five relating to farming and three associated with nonagricultural purposes) these include: Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Local Importance, Grazing Land, Urban and Built-Up Land, and Other Land.
California Land Evaluation and Site Assessment – LESA Model One way to assess the level of impact a project may have on agricultural land in the region is to rate the value of the property through use of the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) Model. The California Agricultural LESA Model was formulated by Senate Bill 850 (Chapter 812/1993) that charges the State Resources Agency in consultation with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, with developing an amendment to Appendix G of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines concerning agricultural lands. Such an amendment is intended “to provide lead agencies with an optional methodology to ensure that significant effects on the environment of agricultural land conversions are quantitatively and consistently considered in the environmental review process” (Public Resources Code Section 21095).
The LESA model rates the relative quality of land resources based on specific, measurable features, following a point-based approach that quantitatively rates the project impacts on a 100-point scale. This method is generally used for rating the relative value of agricultural land resources. The California Agricultural LESA model comprises analysis at two levels:
1 https://maps.conservation.ca.gov/DLRP/CIFF/. Accessed 12/15/21. 2 Grazing Land is defined as land on which the existing vegetation is suited to the grazing of livestock. Grazing Land is not defined as prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide importance.

19 Land Evaluation – uses two factors, the USDA Land Capability Classification (LCC) and the Storie Index, to analyze soil-based qualities of land as they relate to agricultural suitability.
Site Assessment - evaluates four factors measuring the social, economic, and geographic attributes that contribute to the overall value of agricultural land. These factors assess a project’s size, water resource availability, surrounding agricultural lands, and surrounding protected agricultural lands.
Each of these six factors is separately rated on a 100-point scale. The factors are weighted relative to one another and combined, resulting in a single numeric score for a given project with a maximum attainable score of 100 points. This score becomes the basis for determining the project’s potential significance, based upon a range of established scoring thresholds.
Currently, the 6.15-acre parcel is vacant and does not support agricultural activities.
According to the United States Department of Agricultural Soil Conservation Service, Soil Survey of San Bernardino County, Southwestern Part, California, on-site soils consist mainly of San Emigdio fine sandy loam (ScA) (approximately 80 percent) with the remaining 20 percent composed of Metz coarse sandy loam (MgC). Soils are placed in grades according to their suitability for general intensive farming as demonstrated by their Storie Index ratings. The soils on the 6.15-acre parcel have a Storie Index rating ranging from 77 to 100. The Storie Index Rating for the soils on approximately 80 percent of the Project Site is 100, the remaining area has a Storie Index rating of 77.
As shown in Table 1 below, the LE sub-score was 46.85 and the SA sub-score was 16.5; therefore, impacts to agricultural lands from implementation of the Proposed Project are considered significant.
Using the LESA model to assess the value of the 6.15-acre parcel resulted in a score of
63.35 points (see Table 1). As discussed in the Section IV California Agricultural LESA Scoring Thresholds - Making Determinations of Significance Under CEQA of the California Agricultural LESA handbook, a single LESA score is generated for a given project after the Land Evaluation and Site Assessment factors have been scored and weighted. Just as with the scoring of individual factors that comprise the California Agricultural LESA Model, final project scoring is based on a scale of 100 points, with a given project being capable of deriving a maximum of 50 points from the Land Evaluation factors and 50 points from the Site Assessment factors.
The California Agricultural LESA Model is designed to make determinations of the potential significance of a project’s conversion of agricultural lands during the Initial Study phase of the CEQA review process. Scoring thresholds are based upon both the total LESA score as well as the component LE and SA sub-scores. In this manner the scoring thresholds are dependent upon the attainment of a minimum score for the LE and SA subscores so that a single threshold is not the result of heavily skewed sub-scores (i.e., a site with a very high LE score, but a very low SA score, or vice versa). Below are the California Agricultural LESA scoring thresholds.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
20 California LESA Model Scoring Thresholds
Total LESA Score Scoring Decision
0 to 39 Points Not Considered Significant
40 to 59 Points Considered Significant only if LE and SA Sub-scores are each greater than or equal to 20 points
60 to 79 Points Considered Significant unless either LE or SA Sub-score is less than 20 points
80 to 100 Points Considered Significant
As identified in the California LESA Model Scoring Thresholds, scores between 60 and 79 are considered significant unless either the Land Evaluation (LE) or Site Assessment (SA) sub-score is less than 20 points. As shown in Table 1 below, the 6.15-acre Prime Farmland parcel has a LE sub-score of 46.85 points and a SA sub-score of 16.5 points; since the SA sub-score is below 20 points impacts to agricultural lands from implementation of the Proposed Project are not considered significant.

Although the Project Site is not located in an area designated for agricultural use by either the County or City, implementation of the Proposed Project would convert Prime Farmland to a non-agricultural use. Approximately 6.15 acres of Prime Farmland would be permanently lost from agricultural production as a result of the Proposed Project. However as demonstrated in the LESA model, impacts are not considered significant. Therefore, no adverse significant impacts would result and no mitigation measures are required.

21 b) No Impact. The approximate 141-acre annexation area, including the 6.15-acre parcel identified as Prime Farmland, is mapped within the California Department of Conservation, Conservation Program Support map “San Bernardino County South Williamson Act FY 2012/2013,” and is identified as non-enrolled land which indicates that the 6.15-acre parcel is not enrolled in a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, no impacts would occur. c,d) No Impact. Forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production would not be impacted by the Proposed Project as no rezoning from timberland to a non-timberland designation would result. Similarly, the Proposed Project does not involve the conversion of forest land to a non-forest use. e) Less Than Significant Impact. Approval of the Proposed Project would not result in the conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use as the 6.15-acre parcel identified as Prime Farmland is currently vacant and has not be used for agricultural purposes for over a decade. Similarly, the Project Site is not located within an area identified as forest land. Therefore, no significant adverse impacts have been identified and no mitigation measures would result.

III. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management
district or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
( ) ( ) () ( )
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment under an

d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading
to odors) adversely affecting a substantial

( ) ( ) () ( )
a, b) Less than Significant Impact. The Project Site is located in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB). The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has jurisdiction over air quality issues and regulations within the SCAB. The Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the basin establishes a program of rules and regulations administered by SCAQMD to obtain attainment of the state and federal air quality standards. The most recent Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
22 AQMP (2016 AQMP) was adopted by the SCAQMD on March 3, 2017. The 2016 AQMP incorporates the latest scientific and technological information and planning assumptions, including transportation control measures developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) from the 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy, and updated emission inventory methodologies for various source categories.
Conflicts with the AQMP would arise if Project activities resulted in a substantial increase in employment or population that was not previously adopted and/or approved in a General Plan. Large population or employment increases could affect transportation control strategies, which are among the most important in the air quality plan, since transportation is a major contributor to particulates and ozone for which the SCAB is not in attainment.
The Proposed Project consists of a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. The Project Site is currently under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County. However, the City of Loma Linda has Pre-Zoned the Property as it is within the City’s sphere of influence.
The applicant is requesting a zone change from the City of Loma Linda as it pertains to the Pre-Zone. Land Use information is as follows:
Development Under Countywide Plan Land Use Designations The entire 141-acre annexation area is currently designated RL-5 by the Countywide Plan. Under the County’s designation of RL-5 future development of the 66.68-acre area (proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) could be developed with 13 dwelling units. Within the 141-acre annexation area there is also approximately 9.87 acres of vacant land that could be developed with one dwelling unit (minimum 5 acres), resulting in a total of 14 dwelling units
Development Under City of Loma Linda Pre-Zone Designation The City of Loma Linda has Pre-Zoned the Site to include residential uses (89 Units) and commercial uses (for example medical office building, 20,000 sq.ft and fast food restaurant with a drive thru, 5,000 sq.ft). Proposed Project Under City of Loma Linda Zone Change Upon project approval, vacant portions of the 141-acre annexation area proposed for development (i.e., TTM 20403 and 20404 totaling approximately 66.68 acres) would be developed with 126 dwelling units.
An evaluation of potential air quality impacts related buildout under the current General Plan, City of Loma Linda Pre-Zone, and the Proposed Project was prepared. Table 2 and Table 3 illustrate operational emissions associated with the current General Plan/Zoning., Pre-Zone designations and the proposed project. Construction emissions were not modeled as they are short-term in nature, and measures will be required to minimize such impacts. (See discussion under Threshold 3 - b, c) As shown, neither operational impact resulting from the existing General Plan/Zoning designations, or the proposed project Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
23 would exceed SCAQMD thresholds. Consequently, the proposed project would not result in a conflict or obstruction to the implementation of the AQMP and related impacts are considered less than significant.

c/b) Less than Significant Impact. The Proposed Project’s construction and operational emissions were screened using California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) version 2020.4 prepared by the SCAQMD. The emissions estimates incorporate Rule 402 and 403 by default as required during construction. The criteria pollutants screened for include reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrous oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulates (PM10 and PM2.5). In addition, reactive organic gas (ROG) emissions are analyzed. Two of the analyzed pollutants, ROG and NOx, are ozone precursors. Both summer and winter season emission levels were estimated.

24 Construction Emissions
Construction emissions are considered short-term, temporary impacts and were modeled with the following parameters: site grading (mass and fine grading), building construction, paving, and architectural coating. Construction is anticipated to begin in early to mid-2023 and be completed in 2025. Estimated emissions generated by construction of the Proposed Project are shown in Table 4 and Table 5, which represent winter and summer construction emissions, respectively. As shown in Table 4 and Table 5, construction emissions would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds. Impacts would be less than significant.

Compliance with SCAQMD Rules 402, and 403
Although the Proposed Project does not exceed SCAQMD thresholds for construction emissions, the Project Proponent would be required to comply with all applicable Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
25 SCAQMD rules and regulations, because the SCAB is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM10 and PM2.5).
The Project Proponent would be required to comply with Rules 402 nuisance, and 403 fugitive dust, which require the implementation of Best Available Control Measures (BACMs) for each fugitive dust source, and the AQMP which identifies Best Available Control Technologies (BACTs) for area sources and point sources. The BACMs and BACTs would include, but not be limited to the following:
1. The Project Proponent shall ensure that any portion of the site to be graded shall be pre-watered prior to the onset of grading activities.
(a) The Project Proponent shall ensure that watering of the site or other soil stabilization method shall be employed on an on-going basis after the initiation of any grading activity on the site. Portions of the site that are actively being graded shall be watered regularly (2x daily) to ensure that a crust is formed on the ground surface and shall be watered at the end of each workday. (b) The Project Proponent shall ensure that all disturbed areas are treated to prevent erosion until the site is constructed upon.
(c) The Project Proponent shall ensure that landscaped areas are installed as soon as possible to reduce the potential for wind erosion.
(d) The Project Proponent shall ensure that all grading activities are suspended during first and second stage ozone episodes or when winds exceed 25 miles per hour.
During construction, exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated by equipment traveling over exposed surfaces, would increase NOX and PM10 levels in the area. Although the Proposed Project does not exceed SCAQMD thresholds during construction, the Applicant/Contractor would be required to implement the following conditions as required by SCAQMD:
2. To reduce emissions, all equipment used in grading and construction must be tuned and maintained to the manufacturer’s specification to maximize efficient burning of vehicle fuel.
3. The Project Proponent shall ensure that existing power sources are utilized where feasible via temporary power poles to avoid on-site power generation during construction.
4. The Project Proponent shall ensure that construction personnel are informed of ride sharing and transit opportunities.
5. All buildings on the Project Site shall conform to energy use guidelines in Title 24 of the California Administrative Code.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
26 6. The operator shall maintain and effectively utilize and schedule on-site equipment in order to minimize exhaust emissions from truck idling.
7. The operator shall comply with all existing and future California Air Resources Board (CARB) and SCAQMD regulations related to diesel-fueled trucks, which may include among others: (1) meeting more stringent emission standards; (2) retrofitting existing engines with particulate traps; (3) use of low sulfur fuel; and (4) use of alternative fuels or equipment.
Operational Emissions
The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Ganddini Group, Inc. in March 2022. The TIA determined that the Proposed Project would generate approximately 1,188 total daily trips. Emissions associated with the Proposed Project’s estimated vehicle trips were modeled and are listed in Table 6 and Table 7, which represent winter and summer operational emissions, respectively. As shown, both winter and summer season operational emissions are below SCAQMD thresholds.
Impacts are anticipated to be less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required.

27 d) Less than Significant Impact. Potential odor sources associated with the Proposed Project may result from construction activities including equipment exhaust and the application of asphalt and architectural coatings. Operational odor sources would include the temporary storage of domestic solid waste (refuse). Standard construction requirements (i.e., reduced idling, mufflers) would minimize odor impacts resulting from construction activity. It should be noted that any construction odor emissions generated would be temporary, short-term, and intermittent in nature and would cease upon completion of the respective phase of construction activity. In accordance with the Municipal Code, project-generated refuse would be stored in covered containers and removed at regular intervals. The Proposed Project would also be required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 to prevent occurrences of public nuisances. Therefore, no significant adverse impacts are identified or are anticipated, and no mitigation measures are required.

a) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. In August 2021, Jennings Environmental, LLC prepared a Biological Resources Assessment (BRA) and Jurisdictional Delineation (JD) for development of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 properties.
In February 2022, the BRA/JD was updated. The purpose of the study was to document the presence/absence of sensitive resources that may be present on the sites, existing habitats and potential impacts to biological resources. Additionally, the site was surveyed for any drainage features that would meet the definition of the Waters of the US (WOUS), Waters of the State (WOS), or CDFW jurisdiction. The BRA/JD is available for review at the City of Loma Linda Community Development Department and is discussed herein.
According to the CNDDB, CNPSEI, and other relevant literature and databases, 77 sensitive species, 19 of which are listed as threatened or endangered, have been documented in the Redlands and San Bernardino South quads. This list of sensitive species and habitats includes any State and/or federally listed threatened or endangered species, CDFW designated Species of Special Concern (SSC) and otherwise Special Animals “Special Animals” is a general term that refers to all of the taxa the CNDDB is interested in tracking, regardless of their legal or protection status. This list is also referred to as the list of “species at risk” or “special status species.” The CDFW considers the taxa on this list to be those of greatest conservation need.
An analysis of the likelihood for the occurrence of all CNDDB sensitive species documented in the Redlands and San Bernardino South quads and takes into account species range as well as documentation within the vicinity of the Project area and includes the habitat requirements for each species and the potential for their occurrence in the area proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404, based on required habitat elements and range relative to the current site conditions. According to the databases, no sensitive habitat, including USFWS designated critical habitat, occurs within or adjacent to the Project site.
The habitat on the areas proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 consists of ruderal vegetation and is dominated by tumbleweed (Salsola targus). Portions of the area have been subject to human disturbances and are completely void of vegetation. Additionally, there are signs of disturbance in the form of dumping, foot traffic, and off-road vehicle traffic. Several birds were seen or heard during the survey. Species observed or otherwise detected on or in the vicinity of the Project site during the surveys included: mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna), and California towhee (Melozone crissalis. A complete list of all plants observed is provided in Table 8.

30 The sites are located within a moderately developed area of Loma Linda. The sites have been subject to ongoing disturbance in the form of vegetation management (mowing), foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) activity. There is no habitat within the Proposed Project footprint, as well as the immediate surrounding area, that is suitable for the sensitive species identified in the CNDDB search.
SPECIAL STATUS SPECIES
San Bernardino kangaroo rat – Endangered (Federal) Per the literature review, there is one documented occurrence with the Project area from 1989. No SBKR have been documented within the Project area since this occurrence. The site is also completely isolated from any known extant SBKR populations by development. Furthermore, since the 1989 occurrence, large portions of the surrounding land have been developed and San Timoteo creek, directly adjacent to the Project site, was channelized in December 2003. The portion of the channel located directly adjacent to the site currently contains berms to retain water for the purposes of groundwater recharge. Large equipment was observed within the channel, during the site survey, actively removing vegetation and moving sediment.
Although one of the Primary Constituent Elements (PCEs) for the species is present within and/or adjacent to the Project site, (i.e., sandy soils), the natural hydrologic processes typical of the alluvial fan habitat within the area are no longer present. Due to the channelization of San Timoteo creek and development within the surrounding area, the Project area is no longer subject to the normal flood regimes that are conducive to creating the open canopy structure of the pioneer and intermediate stages of Riversidean alluvial fan sage scrub habitat that may have historically been occupied by SBKR in the Project vicinity. The habitat on-site is dominated by tumbleweeds and other non-native species.
Furthermore, the areas are subject to ongoing disturbances as noted above. Therefore, it is not likely that the habitat within the areas proposed for development would be considered suitable to support SBKR. Given the lack of both suitable SBKR habitat and nearby recent extant SBKR occurrences, this species is considered absent from the Project area and development is not likely to impact this species.
Burrowing Owl – Species of Special Concern The conditions present on the areas proposed for development (i.e., TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) are marginally suitable for BUOW. California ground squirrels, a burrow surrogate species, were observed on-site.
As such a BUOW owl survey was completed. The assessment survey was structured, in part, to detect BUOW. The survey consisted of walking transects spaced to provide 100% visual coverage of the project site. The result of the survey was that no evidence of BUOW was found in the survey area. No burrows of appropriate size, aspect, or shape were located and no BUOW pellets, feathers, or whitewash were found. No burrowing owl individuals were observed.
Although no BUOW individuals were observed, the Project site and adjacent area do contain some habitat that would be considered suitable for BUOW. Therefore, a preconstruction BUOW survey is recommended to avoid any potential project-related impacts to this species (see Mitigation Measure BIO-1).
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
31 Designated Critical Habitat The Project site is not located within or adjacent to any USFWS designated Critical Habitat. No further action is required.
Nesting Birds - The Project site and immediate surrounding area does contain habitat suitable for nesting birds. Nesting bird surveys should be conducted prior to any construction activities taking place during the nesting season to avoid potentially taking any birds or active nests. In general, impacts to all bird species (common and special status) can be avoided by conducting work outside of the nesting season (see Mitigation Measure BIO-2).
Based on the literature review and observations made, no State or federally listed threatened or endangered species are expected to occur at the Project Site and in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, no plant species with the California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) of 1 or 2 were observed in the areas proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 or documented to occur in the relevant databases. No other sensitive species were observed within the Project or buffer area.
To ensure potential impacts to the BUOW and nesting birds is reduced to a less than significant impact, the following mitigation measures shall be implemented:
Mitigation Measure BIO-1:
A preconstruction survey for the BUOW shall be conducted no more than 3 days prior to ground disturbance and documentation indicating such a survey has occurred shall be provided to the City.
Mitigation Measure BIO-2:
A pre-construction clearance survey for nesting birds shall be conducted by a qualified biologist within three (3) days of the start of any vegetation removal or ground disturbing activities.
b) Less Than Significant with Mitigation: The USACE has the authority to permit the discharge of dredged or fill material in Waters of the U.S. under Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 CWA. While the Regional Water Quality Board has authority over the discharge of dredged or fill material in Waters of the State under Section 401 CWA as well as the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. The Project area was surveyed with 100 percent visual coverage and no drainage features were present on site. However, the Proposed Project does include a storm drain connection to San Timoteo Wash, a jurisdictional feature. As such, the proposed project would have impacts to a feature subject to Section 404 and 401. Additionally, the CDFW asserts jurisdiction over any drainage feature that contains a definable bed and bank or associated riparian vegetation.
No definable bed or bank features exist on the project site, however, the Proposed Project does include a storm drain connection to San Timoteo Wash, a jurisdictional feature subject to Section 1602 of the California Fish and Game Code. The following details the extent of the proposed temporary and permanent impacts to San Timoteo Wash as they relate to jurisdiction under CWA, Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and Fish and Game Code.

The storm drain that is proposed to connect to San Timoteo Wash, a jurisdictional feature, will cause impacts to areas under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Department Fish and Wildlife. Therefore, potential impacts have been identified and the following mitigation shall be made a condition of Project approval.
Mitigation Measure BIO-3:
Prior to issuance of grading permits, the Community Development Department shall ensure that the Project Applicant has obtained a 404 Permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers, a 401 Certification from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Board, and a 1602 permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
c) No Impact. The Project area was surveyed with 100 percent visual coverage and as concluded in the BRA, no protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, exist on the Project Site.
d) No Impact. A majority of the annexation area is developed and includes the following land uses: scattered residential units, religious assembly, and agriculture (citrus groves).
Wildlife movement corridors link together areas of suitable habitat that are otherwise separated by rugged terrain, changes in vegetation, or human disturbances. The project site was evaluated for its function as a wildlife corridor that species would use to move between wildlife habitat zones. Typically, mountain canyons or riparian corridors are used by wildlife as corridors. Although the San Timoteo creek occurs west of the Project Site, it is regularly maintained and does not function as a wildlife corridor. Furthermore, the Project Site is surrounded by human activity in the form of residences, agricultural use, and roadways. No wildlife movement corridors were found to be present on the Project Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
33 Site. Therefore, implementation of the Proposed Project would not impact a local or regional wildlife corridor.
e) Less Than Significant Impact. Scattered trees occur throughout the 66.68-acre area proposed for development of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. The trees are not supported by an irrigation system and have survived on rainfall. Existing trees on-site would be removed to allow for the proposed development. The City of Loma Linda Municipal Code Chapter 17.74 “Tree Placement, Landscape Materials, and Tree Removal” outlines local policies and ordinances regulating landscape development. Per Ordinance 12.74.180 the Applicant has prepared a preliminary landscape plan as part of its Tentative Tract Map application. Proposed development within the 66.68-acre area includes landscaping within the front yards and open letter lots including the placement of trees. Impacts associated with removal of existing trees on-site would be reduced to a less than significant level.
f) No Impact. The Project Site is not located within an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State habitat conservation plan. No impacts would occur.

Impact Discussion:
a, b) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. A Cultural Resources Study was prepared in March 2022 by Tierra Environmental Services (Tierra) to address the 66.68- acre area proposed for development of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404.
The goal of this study was to determine if any archaeological resources or historic properties would be affected by the proposed project. To accomplish this goal, background information was examined and assessed. Based on a review of the archival research including previous work conducted by Tierra, and a historic map check, it was determined that historical resources exist within the project and its vicinity. Research topics considered during the survey included acculturation, the history of reservation life, lithic material use, and settlement patterns.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
34 A records search was procured from the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC) to identify any previously recorded archaeological and historic-era resources within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) and to determine the types of resources that might occur. The records search provided by the SCCIC revealed that 59 investigations have been previously conducted within a half-mile radius of the Project APE. Six of the previous investigations involve the APE and consist of two cultural resources surveys, one record search and survey results, one cultural resources assessment, one documentation of rock wall, and one report with no given title or author name. The records search indicated that 44 cultural resources or historic properties have been previously identified within a half-mile radius of the APE. Two historic resources (P-36-023575, P-36-032480) have been recorded within the Project APE and consist of an abandoned orchard containing a water conveyance system and Bermudez Street constructed prior to 1933 as a dirt road and paved between 2014 and 2017.
The APE for this Project was defined as the geographic area within which the proposed Project may impact cultural resources. The APE has been disturbed since approximately 1899, as seen on the 1899 Redlands (1:62500) historic topographic map, and has historically been utilized as residential, commercial, and agricultural land with the oldest historical photograph depicting resort development, orange groves and residential development dating to 1938 (Historic Aerials 2022).
The intensive archaeological survey resulted in the observation of two previously recorded historic resources, and no new historic or prehistoric resources. The previously recorded historic site (P-36-023575), which consists of an abandoned orchard containing a water conveyance system, was updated and submitted to the South SCCIC. The previously recorded Bermudez Street (P-36-032480) was observed with no changes to note since the last update dating to 2017, and no update for this resource is required. Both of these resources are not considered significant under the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR). To be listed in the NRHP or the CRHR, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the NRHP or the CRHR criteria, but it also must have integrity. P-36-032480 does not appear to meet the NRHP Criterion A, B, C, and D or CRHR Criterion 1, 2, 3, and 4.
To ensure potential impacts to unanticipated resources is reduced to a less than significant level, the following mitigation measures, as provided by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, shall be implemented:
Mitigation Measure CR-1:
In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60-foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period. Additionally, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Cultural Resources Department (SMBMI) shall be contacted, as detailed within TCR-1, regarding any pre-contact and/or historic-era finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
35 his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment.
Mitigation Measure CR-2:
If significant pre-contact and/or historic-era cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, then the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to SMBMI for review and comment, as detailed within TCR-1. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and implement the Plan accordingly.
c) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Construction activities, particularly grading, could potentially disturb human remains interred outside of a formal cemetery.
Therefore, possible significant adverse impacts have been identified or anticipated and the following mitigation measure is required as a condition of project approval to reduce these impacts to a level below significant: The required mitigation measure is:
Mitigation Measure CR-3:
If human remains or funerary objects are encountered during any activities associated with the project, work in the immediate vicinity (within a 100-foot buffer of the find) shall cease and the County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and Safety Code §7050.5 and the code requirements shall be enforced for the duration of the project.

a) Less than Significant Impact.
Electricity:
Southern California Edison (SCE) provides electricity in the vicinity of the Project Site.
Currently, the Project Site is vacant, however implementation of the Proposed Project would result in the development of the 66.68 acres with 126 single-family residential units and require electrical service from SCE. According to the California Energy Commission:
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
36 Electricity Consumption for the residential sector within San Bernardino County, consumed 6,103 GWh in the year 2020.
3 The CalEEMod model output (April 12, 2022)
projected that the development would consume 0.6 GWh annually. The increase in electricity demand from the Proposed Project would therefore represent a 0.002 percent of the overall SCE commercial use consumption.
This increased demand is expected to be sufficiently served by the existing SCE electrical facilities. Total electricity demand in SCE’s service area is estimated to increase by approximately 12,000 GWh— between the years 2015 and 2026. The increase in electricity demand from the Proposed Project would represent an insignificant percentage of the overall demand in SCE’s service area.
Natural Gas: The Project Site is located within the service area of Southern California Gas (SoCal Gas). The 66.68-acre area proposed for development is currently vacant and has no demand for natural gas. The Proposed Project will create a permanent increase demand for natural gas. The Proposed Project’s estimated annual natural gas demand (based on CalEEMod model output, April 12, 2022) is projected to be 21,215.2 therms.
According to the California Energy Commission, the natural gas consumption of the SoCal Gas’s residential sector was 2,474,195,977 therms in 2020.4 The Proposed Project’s estimated annual natural gas consumption compared to the 2020 annual natural gas consumption of the overall residential sector in the SoCal Gas Planning Area would account for approximately 0.0009 percent of total natural gas consumption. Therefore, projected natural gas demand would not significantly impact SoCal Gas’s level of service. b) Less than Significant Impact. As discussed above, development of the 126 residential units would have a less than significant impact on regional energy supplies. The Proposed Project would be required to comply with the California Building Code (CBC) and California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen Code) pertaining to energy and water conservation standards in effect at the time of construction. The Proposed Project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency and therefore no significant impacts are anticipated, and no mitigation measures are recommended Impacts would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.

i) No Impact. In August 2020, a Geotechnical Due Diligence Report (“Geotechnical Report”) was prepared by Leighton and Associates, Inc. for the 66.68-acre area proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. The report is available for review at the City of Loma Linda Community Development Department and is summarized herein.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
38 The area proposed for development of 126 residential units is not located within the boundaries of an active Earthquake Fault Zone, as designated by the State of California or County of San Bernardino, nor are there any mapped traces of inactive faults either on the sites, or trending toward the sites. Given the above, the surface fault rupture potential is considered very low to nil.
ii) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation. The currently recognized active strand of the San Andreas Fault Zone (SJFZ) lies approximately 6.24 miles northeast of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. The range of low-lying hills south of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 represent the general northwest contiguous extension of the San Jacinto Mountains. The hills are moderately elevated, smoothly to deeply eroded, and locally referred to as the Badlands, which have been uplifted by dextral right-lateral offset and along the San Bernardino Valley Section of the San Jacinto Fault Zone. The San Jacinto Fault Zone is similar to the San Andreas Fault Zone in earthquake history, movement, and seismic potential. The nearest strand of the San Jacinto Fault Zone lies approximately one-mile southwest of the proposed residential development, is zoned under the AlquistPriolo Act, and contains several northwest oriented paralleling strands. The last rupture/offset along this fault section is considered to have occurred during latest Quaternary time, or sometime during the past 15 thousand years.
Other major faults in the region include the Sierra Madre Fault zone along the southern foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, the Elsinore Fault bordering the north edge of the Santa Ana Mountains, and the Homestead Valley Fault Zone within the Eastern California Shear Zone, approximately 15.72 miles northwest, 23.94 miles southwest, and 45.77 miles eastnortheast of the site, respectively.
No active faults are mapped as transecting the TTM sites or directly adjacent to the sites.
There are however several mapped faults in the area northeast of the SJFZ, exhibiting orientations sub-parallel and parallel to the SJFZ. While these faults are not AP-zoned faults, and are generally considered less active than the SJFZ, but are still capable of accommodating a degree of co-seismic offset during major earthquakes along the SJFZ, if not their own earthquakes. One of these “secondary” faults is the Crafton Hills Fault Zone, situated approximately 0.75 miles southwest of the site. The same zone is referred to as the Live Oak Canyon Fault Zone. Another is the Banning Fault mapped approximately 0.4 miles northeast of the site.
In order to reduce the effects of strong ground shaking generated by regional seismic events, seismic design should be performed in accordance with the current 2019 CBC seismic design parameters that are based on a Default site class of “D”, as site-specific subsurface data has not been confirmed. Once appropriate subsurface data is obtained during a final Geotechnical Investigation, it is likely that the values would be reduced.
Therefore, construction of the 126 single-family residences in accordance with applicable requirements of a final Geotechnical Report, to be approved by the City would ensure that potential impacts are reduced to the maximum extent possible. The following mitigation measure shall be made a condition of approval for the Project:

Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Project Proponent shall prepare a Final Geotechnical Report which shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
iii) Less Than Significant Impact. As stated in the Geotechnical Report prepared for the development of the 66.68-acre site, review of the San Bernardino County Geologic Hazard Overlay Map EHFH C indicated that the site is not located within an area of liquefaction susceptibility. The most recent available groundwater data pertinent to the site is from 1979 and indicates a depth of around 100 feet. If this depth is representative of present conditions, it would preclude the potential occurrence of liquefaction on the site. However, as indicated in the report San Timoteo Creek is the site of periodic water impoundment and lateral migration beneath the site, the potential presence of shallow groundwater and potential liquefaction cannot be precluded at this time.
Lateral spreading is a phenomenon triggered by liquefaction. Conditions required for its occurrence must include a continuous unconstrained liquefiable zone in the subsurface, gently sloping structure upon which movement can occur, and an adjacent or nearby free face or open topographic area able to accommodate lateral movement. Conditions along the western site margin are such that the occurrence of this hazard is remotely possible.
Groundwater conditions along the western site margin will need to be evaluated as part of future site geotechnical explorations. Its presence or absence will generally determine the potential for liquefaction and lateral spreading hazards on the site. As concluded in the report, based on present hydrogeological and geologic information, the potential for these hazards is low. Therefore, no adverse significant impacts are identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.
iv) No Impact. The California Geological Survey (CGS) on-line landslide inventory map shows no specific landslides on the site or in adjacent offsite areas (CGS, 2020). They indicate the slopes abutting the east site margin have a moderate to high landslide susceptibility, based on rock strength. The San Bernardino County General Plan Geologic Hazard Overlay Map (FH31 C / Redlands) indicates these offsite slopes have a low to moderate landslide susceptibility. During the field reconnaissance, no evidence of significant landslides were observed in the area; nor were such conditions observed on any historical aerial photographs. As concluded in the Geotechnical Report prepared for the Project, the occurrence of landslides is not expected, and no significant constraints are anticipated for the development of the 66.68 acres for residential purposes. b) Less than Significant Impact. During the development of TTM 20403 and 20404 approximately 66.68 acres would be disturbed and may result in Project-related dust due to the operation of machinery on-site or due to high winds. Additionally, erosion of soils could occur due to a storm event; therefore, the Proposed Project is subject to the requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity (Construction General Permit Order 2009-2009-DWQ). Construction activity subject to this permit includes clearing, grading, and disturbances to the ground such as stockpiling or excavation. The Construction Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
40 General Permit requires the development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The SWPPP must list Best Management Practices (BMPs) to avoid and minimize soil erosion. Adherence to BMPs in an approved SWPPP would ensure that the Proposed Project does not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. The SWPPP shall be prepared by a licensed engineer and approved by the City’s Public Works Department prior to the issuance of grading permits. No significant adverse impacts are identified or are anticipated, and no mitigation measures are required. c) Less than Significant Impact. TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 are located approximately
1.6 miles northeast from the San Jacinto Fault Zone and are located outside of the earthquake hazard zone as identified in the City of Loma Linda General Plan. The area proposed for development is relatively flat and there are no hills or prominent landforms in the immediate vicinity. It is not anticipated that development proposed within the 66.68- acre portion of the 141-acre annexation area would result in soil that would become unstable or cause off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse.
d) No Impact. Expansive soils (shrink-swell) are fine grained clay soils generally found in historical floodplains and lakes. Expansive soils are subject to swelling and shrinkage in relation to the amount of moisture present in the soil. Structures built on expansive soils may incur damage due to differential settlement of the soil as expansion and contraction takes place. Information about shrink-swell classes and linear extensibility is available in the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey reports. The shrink-swell classification indicates the relative change in volume that may be expected with changes in moisture content that is the extent to which the soil shrinks as it dries out or swells when it gets wet. The extent of shrinking and swelling is influenced by the amount and kind of clay in the soil. A high shrink-swell potential indicates a hazard to maintenance of structures built in/on/or with material having this rating. Moderate to low ratings lessen the hazard. According to the Geotechnical Report prepared for the area proposed for development, on-site soils have a very low expansive potential; therefore no impacts related to expansive soils are anticipated.
e) No Impact. Upon annexation, the proposed 126 single-family residential development would connect to the City’s sewer collection system existing in Barton Road. No septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal is proposed. No impacts would result. f) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Implemented. Paleontological resources are recognized as nonrenewable resources significant to our culture, and are afforded protection by federal, State, and local environmental guidelines. Geologic formations are ranked by their potential to contain significant, nonrenewable palaeontologic resources (SNPR). The Loma Linda Planning Area is in the southern San Bernardino Basin, a structural basin that filled with sediments as a result of activity on the San Andreas and San Jacinto Fault systems. Sedimentary deposition has been taking place in this basin since late Miocene time.
Although the Project Site does not visibly contain a unique paleontological resource or site, or unique geologic feature, grading could expose resources that may exist below the surface. Therefore, potentially significant adverse impacts have been identified or Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
41 anticipated and the following mitigation measure is required as a condition of project approval to reduce these impacts to a level below significant. The required mitigation measure is:
Mitigation Measure GEO-2:
Excavations into any areas of exposed Miocene (and earlier) deposits of the San Timoteo Formation and buried deposits dominating the northern portion of the project area will be monitored by a qualified paleontologist consistent with the policies and protocols of the San Bernardino County Museum. The Paleontologist shall determine the extent and duration of monitoring required and provide a report to the City.

directly or indirectly, that may have a significant
impact on the environment?
( ) ( ) () ( )
b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or
regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing
the emissions of greenhouse gases?
( ) ( ) () ( )
a) Less than Significant Impact. Emissions were estimated using the CalEEMod version 2016.3.2. Parameters used to estimate construction emissions, such as the worker and vendor trips and trip lengths, utilized the CalEEMod defaults. The operational mobile source emissions were calculated using the Trip Generation prepared as part of the Traffic Impact Analysis (Ganddini Group, March 2022). The Trip Generation and Vehicle Miles Travelled Screening Analysis determined that the Proposed Project would generate approximately 1,188 total daily trips.
Many gases make up the group of pollutants which contribute to global climate change.
However, three gases are currently evaluated and represent the highest concentration of GHG: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous oxide (N2O). SCAQMD provides guidance methods and/or Emission Factors that are used for evaluating a project’s emissions in relation to the thresholds. A threshold of 3,000 MTCO2E per year has been adopted by SCAQMD for non-industrial type projects. The Proposed Project greenhouse gas emissions modeled for various phases of construction and for operations are shown in Tables 9 and 10 respectively below.

As shown in Table 9 and Table 10 the Proposed Project’s emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD’s 3,000 MTCO2e threshold of significance. Therefore, no significant adverse impacts are identified or anticipated, and no mitigation measures are required. b) Less than Significant Impact. The applicable plan for the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases is the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority’s (SBCTA) San Bernardino County Regional GHG Reduction Plan. The City of Loma Linda is addressed in the Loma Linda Chapter of the San Bernardino County Regional GHG Reduction Plan, released March 5, 2014. The Plan has been prepared to assist the City in conforming to the GHG emissions reductions as mandated under AB 32. The SCAQMD’s Tier 3 thresholds used Executive Order S-3-05 goal as the basis for deriving the screening level.
The California Governor issued Executive Order S-3-05, GHG Emission, in June 2005, which established the following reduction targets:
2010: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 2000 levels.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
43 2020: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels. 2050: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels.
Adopted in 2006, AB 32 requires CARB to adopt rules and regulations that would achieve GHG emissions equivalent to statewide levels in 1990 by 2020 through and enforceable statewide emission cap, which was phased in starting in 2012. Therefore, as the Proposed Project’s emissions meet the threshold for compliance with Executive Order S-3-05, emissions would also comply with the goals of AB 32. Additionally, as the Proposed Project meets the current interim emissions targets/thresholds established by SCAQMD, it would also be on track to meet the reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 mandated by EO-B-30-15 and SB 32. Furthermore, all the post-2020 reductions in GHG emissions are addressed via regulatory requirements at the State level and the Proposed Project would be required to comply with these regulations as they come into effect.
At a level of 2,139.2 MTCO2e per year, the Proposed Project’s emissions fall below the SCAQMD and San Bernardino County GHG Reduction Plan screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e for all land use types and is in compliance with the reduction goals of the San Bernardino County GHG Reduction Plan, AB 32, and SB 32. The Proposed Project will comply with applicable Green Building Standards and the City of Loma Linda’s policies regarding sustainability (as dictated by the City’s General Plan). No significant adverse impacts are identified or are anticipated, and no mitigation measures are required.

Impact Discussion:
In October 2020, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared by Leighton and Associates, Inc. for the 66.68-acre area proposed for development of 126 single-family residential units (i.e., TTMs 20403 and 20404). A copy of the report is available for review at the City of Loma Linda Community Development Department and is summarized herein.
The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to identify, to the extent feasible recognized environmental conditions (RECs), historical RECs (HRECs), or controlled RECs (CRECs) at the site. RECs are defined as “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment; e minimis conditions are not RECs.” HRECs are defined as “a past release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that has occurred in connection with the property and has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or meeting unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the property to any required controls.” CRECs are defined as “a REC resulting from a past release of hazardous substances or petroleum products that has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority, with hazardous substances or petroleum products allowed to remain in place subject to the implementation of required controls.” a) Less than Significant. Hazardous or toxic materials transported in association with construction of the single-family units may include items such as oils, paints, and fuels. All materials required during construction would be kept in compliance with State and local regulations. The uses allowed under the current County designation of Rural Residential and the City of Loma Linda’s pre-zone of Commercial and Low Density Residential and proposed zone change to Low Density Residential for the Commercial zoned area would not increase the potential for transport of hazardous materials. The construction and postconstruction operation of single-family residences would not involve the routine transport or use of hazardous materials. A less than significant impact would result.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
45 Post-construction activities would include standard maintenance (i.e., lawn upkeep, exterior painting and similar activities) involving the use of commercially available products (e.g., gas, oil, paint) the use of which would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident release of hazardous materials into the environment. No significant adverse impacts are identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.
b) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Evidence of hazardous substances, drums, or other chemical containers was not observed on the 66.68-acre area. Evidence of underground storage tanks (USTs) such as vent lines, fill or overfill ports also was not observed during the site visit. Evidence of dumping including scattered trash was observed throughout the 66.68-acre site. Several small soil stockpiles were observed within APNs 0293-091-04 and 0293-081-09 of the subject property (TTM 20403). The assessment revealed no evidence of any recognized environmental concerns (RECs)5in connection with the subject site, except for the following:
Historical use of the site as orchards and the likely application of pesticides to the near surface soils.
Several soil stockpiles of unknown origin were observed in the northern portion of the subject property on APNs 0293-091-04 and 0293-081-09. These stockpiles may
contain hazardous substances.
The assessment revealed no evidence of historical recognized environmental concerns (HRECs)6 or controlled recognized environmental concerns (CRECs)7in connection with the 66.68-acre area. Based on the findings of the Phase I ESA and to ensure potential impacts from the unknown release of hazardous substances, the following mitigation measures shall be made conditions of approval for the Project:
Mitigation Measure HAZ-1:
Prior to the issuance of grading permits, the Project Proponent shall perform soil sampling of the soil stockpiles. In addition, soil samples shall be taken throughout the subject site to analyze for pesticides related to past application.
5 According to ASTM E1527-13, recognized environmental concerns or RECs are defined as “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property: (1) due to any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.” 6 According to ASTM E1527-13, historical recognized environmental concerns or HRECs are defined as “a past release of any hazardous substances or petroleum products that has occurred in connection with the property and has been addressed to the satisfaction of the applicable regulatory authority or meeting unrestricted use criteria established by a regulatory authority, without subjecting the property to any required controls.” 7 According to ASTM E1527-13, recognized environmental concerns or RECs are defined as “the presence or likely presence of any hazardous substances or petroleum products in, on, or at a property due to (1) any release to the environment; (2) under conditions indicative of a release to the environment; or (3) under conditions that pose a material threat of a future release to the environment.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
46 Mitigation Measure HAZ-2:
During all earthwork, the Contractor shall perform general observations for areas of possible contamination such as, but not limited to, the presence of underground facilities, buried debris, waste drums, and tanks, stained soil or odorous soils. In the event such materials be encountered, the City Engineer shall be notified of the discovery and further investigation and analysis may be necessary.
c) No Impact. The Bryn Mawr Elementary School is located 0.5 miles west of the Project Site. No hazardous materials would be emitted as a result of the construction of the residential units. The storage and use of hazardous materials are not associated with single-family homes; and therefore no impacts associated with emission of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within ¼-mile of a school are anticipated.
d) No Impact. The Phase I Site Assessment reviewed available historical information for evidence of activities, which would suggest the presence of hazardous substances and to evaluate the potential for the site to be impacted by offsite sources of contamination.
Review of aerial photographs showed that in the late 1930’s the site and surrounding area was mainly cultivated. Between 2006 and 2009 agricultural activities were no longer observed on the majority of the site and surrounding properties. In general, the surrounding area appeared built up with residential properties.
A search of selected government databases was conducted using the EDR Radius Map Report environmental database report system. The subject site was not identified in the EDR database report. Information in the EDR database report was reviewed for facilities of potential environmental concern to the subject site. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Geotracker website and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Envirostor website were used to supplement the information in the EDR database report.
The listings in the EDR database report were reviewed and not interpreted to represent an adverse effect to the 66.68-acre site based on one or more of the following:
Distance of the facility to the subject site;
Reported regulatory agency status (e.g., case closed); Reported nature of the case (soil contamination only); and Location of the listed facility in relation to anticipated groundwater flow direction.
Therefore, as concluded in the Phase I Site Assessment, no significant hazard to the public or the environment is anticipated during construction and post construction activities. Therefore, no impacts have been identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.
e) No Impact. The San Bernardino International Airport is located approximately 2.5 miles northwest of the approximate 141-acre annexation Project Site. As identified in the City of Loma Linda General Plan Figure 10-4, the Project Site is not located within the Airport Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
47 Influence Area. Additionally, no private airstrips occur in the vicinity of the Project Site.
Proposed development of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 within the Project Site would not result in a safety hazard associated with an airport or private airstrip. f) No Impact. The City of Loma Linda implements and maintains the City’s Emergency Plan as required by State Law. The Plan includes ongoing emergency response coordination with surrounding jurisdictions, including the County of San Bernardino, and a public awareness program on the nature and extent of natural hazards in the Planning Area.
Proposed development within the 66.68-acre portion of the approximate 141-acre annexation area would include construction of 126 single-family residences. Vehicular access for TTM 20403 would be provided from Bermudez Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road and access for TTM 20404 would be provided from New Jersey Street and Nevada Street. The Proposed Project includes the vacation of the intersection of Bermudez Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road and construction of a new cul-de-sac with a 30-foot access driveway within TTM 20403.
Construction activities would take place within the boundaries of the 66.68-acre area proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. Neither the construction nor post-construction activities would conflict with implementation of the City’s Emergency Plan. No impacts have been identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are warranted. g) Less than Significant Impact. The Project Site does not occur within a Fire Hazard Overlay area as indicated on the County of San Bernardino General Plan Hazards Overlay Map FH31C. Upon annexation, the Project Site would transfer from the unincorporated portion of the County of San Bernardino to the City of Loma Linda. The Project Site is currently located within the Sphere of Influence of the City of Loma Linda. The Loma Linda hills (also known as south hills or Badlands) are located approximately one-mile south of the Project Site. Implementation of the Proposed Project, which includes the development of 126 single-family residential units, would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires; no impacts have been identified or are anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.

a,e) Less than Significant Impact. The Proposed Project includes the annexation of an approximate 141-acre area and development of approximately 66.68 acres with 126 single-family residential units. The Proposed Project would disturb approximately
66.68 acres and therefore would be subject to the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. The State of California is authorized to administer various aspects of the NPDES. Construction activities covered under the State’s General Construction permit include removal of vegetation, grading, excavating, or any other activity that causes the disturbance of one-acre or more. The General Construction permit requires recipients to reduce or eliminate non-storm water discharges into stormwater systems, and to develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The purpose of a SWPPP is to: 1) identify pollutant sources that may affect the quality of discharges of stormwater associated with construction activities; and 2) identify, construct and implement stormwater pollution control measures to reduce pollutants in stormwater discharges from the construction site during and after construction The RWQCB has issued an area-wide NPDES Storm Water Permit for the County of San Bernardino, the San Bernardino County Flood Control District, and the incorporated cities of San Bernardino County. The City of Loma Linda then requires implementation of measures for a project to comply with the area-wide permit requirements. A SWPPP is based on the principles of Best Management Practices (BMPs) to control and abate pollutants. The SWPPP must include (BMPs) to prevent project-related pollutants from impacting surface waters. These would include, but are not limited to street sweeping of Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
49 paved roads around the site during construction, and the use of hay bales or sand bags to control erosion during the rainy season. BMPs may also include or require:
The Project Proponent shall avoid applying materials during periods of rainfall and protect freshly applied materials from runoff until dry. All waste to be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. The Project Proponent shall contract with a local waste hauler or ensure that waste containers are emptied weekly. Waste containers cannot be washed out on-site. All equipment and vehicles to be serviced off-site.
The NPDES also requires a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) prior to the issuance of building permits as a condition of approval by the Lead Agency. Mandatory compliance with the Proposed Project’s WQMP, in addition to compliance with NPDES Permit requirements, would ensure that all potential pollutants of concern are minimized or otherwise appropriately treated prior to being discharged from the Project Site. The SWPPP shall be prepared by a licensed engineer and approved by the City’s Public Works Department prior to the issuance of grading permits. A WQMP was submitted and approved by both the County and City. Therefore, implementation of the Proposed Project would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. No significant adverse impacts are identified or anticipated, and no mitigation measures are required.
b) Less than Significant Impact With Mitigation Incorporated. As identified in the Countywide Plan and the City of Loma Linda General Plan, the annexation area is not used for groundwater recharge, therefore the development proposed within the 66.68-acre area of the 141-acre Project Site would not impact groundwater recharge. In addition, the development of 126 single-family residences would not substantially deplete groundwater supplies.
The Project Site is located within the City of Loma Linda Water Service area as shown in the 2015 Regional Urban Water Management Plan for the San Bernardino Valley. Upon annexation, the City of Loma Linda would provide domestic water to the development.
Similarly existing development within the annexation area is currently serviced by their own wells. As of the date of preparation of this Initial Study only one property within the 141-acre Annexation area (Islamic Temple located north of Beaumont Avenue and west of San Timoteo Canyon Road) has requested and been granted water service by the City of Loma Linda.
The City obtains all of its water from groundwater wells in the Bunker Hill Basin, an aquifer underlying the San Bernardino Valley. Groundwater in the region includes native water supplies supplemented by imported water to meet approximately 13% to 16% of demands.
The City of Loma Linda was a participating agency in development of the 2015 Upper Santa Ana River Watershed Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWM Plan).
Resource management activities defined in the Plan, in combination with the integrated goals, objectives, and strategies of the Plan and participating agencies are intended to ensure that the Region's water resources are sustainably managed into the future. The Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
50 Region’s long-term water demands consider the 15 participating agencies’ General Plan and/or Urban Water Management Plan scenarios to the year 2035, as required by the 2015 IRWM Proposition 84 and 1E Program Guidelines published by the California Department of Water Resources.
Estimated water use for Proposed Project’ single-family residences would be approximately 63 acre-feet (1/2 acre-foot/residence/year). Under the County’s current designation of Rural Living (RL-5) vacant areas within the 141-acre Annexation area could be developed with 26 residential units, resulting in a demand of 13-acre feet per year.
Upon Annexation and under the proposed GPA and ZC, development of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 would result in a water demand of 63 acre-feet per year or approximately 50 acre-feet more than the demand would be with development under the current County designation. Water demands associated with development under the current pre-zone for General Commercial would be speculative, however the land use designations of commercial and residential all typically have lower water use rates than citrus groves, which was the former use of the land from the late 1930s until 2009. With implementation of the water resources management activities defined in the IRWM Plan, the available groundwater supply would be sufficient to meet the long-term water demands of the City including areas within it Sphere of Influence; therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
As discussed in the Geotechnical Report, the Santa Ana River serves as the most significant source of aquifer recharge within the San Bernardino Valley; however, San Timoteo Wash serves as the main source of groundwater in the Project area. The aquifer nearest the surface within the San Bernardino Valley is likely unconfined within deposits of alluvium. A historical groundwater map reviewed as part of the study shows interpreted groundwater depths beneath the site between the dates of 1973 and 1975 (Carson & Matti, 1985). The map indicates the depth to groundwater beneath the Project Site was on the order of 100 feet during that period of time.
Although historical groundwater maps indicate a groundwater depth of around 100 feet beneath the Project Site, it is considered possible that repetitive heavy storm events, generating high volumes of flow and ponded water within Timoteo Canyon Wash, may lead to a temporarily elevated groundwater condition beneath the western site margins. It is likely the depth to such groundwater would be no higher than the bed of the wash, or around 23 feet beneath the subject site, and that depths would rapidly increase/deepen with increasing distances away from the creek.
As concluded in the Geotechnical Report, the Project would not result in any known impacts to groundwater including constraints to earthwork or any long-term post construction activities associated with residential units. However, if groundwater does periodically increase in height along the western site margin to depths generally shallower than 50 feet, it could increase the susceptibility of liquefaction for the area. The condition will need to be evaluated as part of a future design-level geotechnical investigation. Prior to issuance of grading/building permits, the City of Loma Linda requires a final geotechnical investigation; this requirement (Mitigation Measure Geo-1) will be a general condition of approval for both TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. Therefore, implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1 shall ensure that potential impacts associated with Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
51 implementation of the Proposed Project are reduced to a less than significant level.
Therefore, no adverse significant impacts would result and no mitigation measures are required.
c,i-iii) Less than Significant Impact. A Preliminary Hydrology Report was prepared in April 2021 for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 by ProActive Engineering Consultants. Copies of the reports are available for review at the City of Loma Linda Community Development Department and are summarized herein.
The Hydrology Reports were prepared in conformance with the hydrological procedure and standards set forth in the San Bernardino County Hydrology Manual. Due to the size of the watershed (i.e., less than 640 acres), the rational method was used to calculate the peak runoff at each concentration point for the existing and proposed conditions. The point precipitation value for the 100-year event was used in the rational method analysis. The City of Loma Linda requires development projects to mitigate developed condition discharge to 80 percent of existing flows, the hydrograph method was utilized to size the required bioretention basin for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. Point precipitation values for the 100-year event were utilized in the hydrograph analysis. The precipitation values were derived from the NOAA 14 Atlas, and the antecedent moisture content (AMC) used AMC III per the San Bernardino Hydrology Manual.
Watershed Description and Drainage Patterns for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 The property associated with proposed development of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 was formally an orange grove and is currently composed of grassland with poor cover. The proposed residential development will generally maintain the existing drainage pattern of the site. Runoff will be conveyed via surface flows to proposed catch basins and outlet into a proposed combined bioretention/water quality basin. From there, flows from TTM 20403 will exit via a designated discharge point and travel south along New Jersey Street to join at the site of TTM 20404 where a single connection to San Timoteo Creek is proposed. The drainage for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 is tributary to the San Timoteo Creek. The existing ground surface for both TTMs generally slope from southeast to northwest at one to two percent. Both sites are a minor tributary of the Santa Ana River Watershed and ultimately outlet to the Santa Ana River located approximately 3.75 miles to the northwest.
The most significant factor affecting infiltration is the nature of the soil in the watershed.
Accordingly, the U.S. Department of Natural Resource Conversation Service classifies soil according to their infiltration capacity. Soils in the study area are classified as SCS Soil Type A, which have a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet, and consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission. Other important factors in soil infiltration are the antecedent moisture condition (AMC) and land use/soil cover.
Following the methodology outlined in the San Bernardino County Hydrology Manual, an AMC III (highest runoff potential) is assumed for events with a 100-year return period. The study used the Advance Engineering Software (AES) HydroWIN v. 2015 Rational Method Analysis computer program that uses the San Bernardino County methodology to perform Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
52 the hydrologic analysis. As a result of the existing topography, the proposed condition’s hydrology was modeled to generally continue the existing condition hydrology by flowing mostly from southeast to northwest. To accurately reflect the impacts of the Proposed Project to the downstream channel, existing and proposed flows were analyzed. While the detention and water quality basins are combined, they were designed to function independent of each other (i.e., no water quality/detention volume overlap). The results of the unit hydrographs and basin routing are summarized in Tables 11 and 12 below.

As previously state the City of Loma Linda requires that projects attenuate flows to 80 percent of the predevelopment condition. To achieve this threshold, flows from TTM 20403 will be attenuated using a bioretention basin. Preliminary sizing for the bioretention basin is calculated using the San Bernardino County hydrograph and basin routing procedures. Results are shown in Table 13 and Table 14.

As shown in Tables 13 and 14, with the use of a bioretention basin, the proposed peak flow for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 would be mitigated to less than 80 percent of the existing flow as required by the City of Loma Linda. Since the proposed flow has been mitigated to meet City requirements, no downstream impacts to the San Timoteo Creek are expected.
As demonstrated in the hydrology reports prepared for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404, proposed residential development would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the area in a manner that would result in erosion, an increase the rate/amount of surface runoff or contribute to runoff that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide additional sources of polluted runoff.
Therefore, no adverse significant impacts are anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.
d) No Impact. Seiches are large waves generated in enclosed bodies of water in response to ground shaking. Tsunamis are waves generated in large bodies of water by fault displacement or major ground movement. As concluded in the Due Diligence Geotechnical Study prepared for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404, due to the absence of an enclosed water body near the area and the inland site location, seiche and tsunami risks are considered negligible.
Similarly, the site is not located within a 100-year or 500-year flood hazard zone.
According to a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance rate map (FEMA, 2008), the area is located within a flood hazard area identified as “Zone X”, defined as an area of minimal flood hazard.
Earthquake-induced flooding can be caused by failure of dams or other water-retaining structures as a result of earthquakes. As concluded in the August 2020 Due Diligence Geotechnical Study, the area proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 is not mapped within a dam inundation zone. Therefore, the risk of seismically- induced flooding due to dam failure is considered low. No impact has been identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are warranted.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
54 a,b) Less than Significant Impact. Approximately 57 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is developed and includes the following land uses: residential, religious assembly, and wellness facility; of this 57-acre area less than 2 acres are currently used for agriculture (citrus groves). Approximately 34 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is owned by San Bernardino County Flood Control District and land use associated with this area includes San Timoteo creek right-of-way. Within the annexation area, a 7.73-acre parcel and a
2.14-acre parcel are currently vacant and available for potential future development (see Figure 7). Both the 7.73-acre parcel and 2.14-acre parcel are designated by the County of San Bernardino as Rural Living (RL-5) and could be developed with a maximum of one dwelling unit. Under the City of Loma Linda existing pre-zone designation of General Commercial (C-2), future development of the 7.73-acre parcel could include a maximum of 202,031 square-feet of commercial development (based on maximum lot coverage of 60 percent); and the 2.14-acre parcel could include a maximum of 55,931 square-feet of commercial development (see Figure 8).
Surrounding properties and associated pre-zone land use designations are shown in Figure – 8. Property to the north of the 141-acre annexation area is located within the City of Loma Linda and has land use designations of Commercial (C-2), InstitutionalHealthcare (I-HC) and High Density Residential (R-3) and contains residential and the Loma Linda Surgical Hospital. Properties to the west occur within the City of Loma Linda and include scattered residential, vacant land and the Union Pacific Railroad and are designated Low Density Residential and Planned Community (PC). Properties to the south are zoned City of Loma Linda Low Density Hillside Residential (HR-LD) and include vacant land and citrus groves south of the Union Pacific Railroad. Property to the east is located within the City of Redlands and is designated Agriculture and Single Family Residential and includes vacant land, agriculture (citrus groves) and scattered residences.
Vacant areas determined to be potentially developable were examined for purposes of comparing existing conditions and development under the County designations versus what the area would be potentially developed with upon annexation to the City of Loma Linda. Currently there are no development applications (except for the 126 single-family residential development proposed within a 66.68-acre area of the 141-acre annexation area) to develop any of the vacant properties at this time. Future development of these areas would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and would be subject to CEQA and all the necessary entitlements.

a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or
regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
mitigating an environmental effect?

Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
55 Existing Vacant Land within the Annexation Area:
Development Under Countywide Plan Land Use Designations (RL-5) The entire 141-acre annexation area is currently designated RL-5 by the Countywide Plan.
Under the County’s designation of RL future development of the 66.68-acre area (proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404) could be developed with 13 dwelling units.
With implementation of the GPA, ZC and annexation, and under the City’s pre-zone of HR-VL, the 66.68-acre area would be developed with 126 dwelling units.
Within the 141-acre annexation area there is also approximately 9.87 acres of vacant land that could be developed in the future. Under the Countywide Plan, the 9.87 acres could be developed with 1 dwelling unit (minimum 5 acres), resulting in a total of 14 dwelling units for the 9.87-acre vacant area and 66.68-acre area proposed for subdivision within the annexation area.
Development Under City of Loma Linda Pre-Zone Designation of C-2, and HR/VL Upon Project approval under City of Loma Linda pre-zone conditions, vacant portions of the 141-acre annexation area proposed for development (i.e., TTM 20403 and 20404 totaling approximately 66.68 acres) would be developed with 126 dwelling units. For the
9.87-acre area designated C-2, a total of 202,031 square-feet of commercial development could be developed (based on a maximum lot cover of 60 percent, and a FAR of 0.5).
Comparison of Development Under County Verses City Land Use Designations Under the existing Countywide Plan designation of RL-5, a total of 14 dwelling units could be developed (13 units within the 66.68-acre area proposed for TTMs 20403 and 20404 plus 1 unit that could be developed in the future within the 9.87-acre vacant area). Under the existing City pre-zone designation of HR-VL, a total of 126 dwelling units could be developed and under pre-zone of C-2 a 202,031 square-feet of commercial could be developed; resulting in approximately 112 more dwelling units as compared to development under the Countywide Plan. This is due to the increase in density under the City’s pre zone of HR/VL which would allow for up to 2 dwelling units per acres compared to 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres under the Countywide Plan.
The proposed GPA and ZC would be compatible with existing residential development to the west and scattered residential development within the 141-acre annexation area. In addition, the City of Redlands received an application for TTM 20402 to development 26 single-family residences to the east. Therefore, future development of TTM 20402 would be compatible with the proposed residential development. The area to the north of TTM 20403 is developed with a church and has sufficient setbacks and was developed in accordance with County requirements. The City’s municipal code allows churches within residential zones, and therefore this existing use is compatible with the proposed residential development. Similarly, the area south of the proposed TTM 20404 was approved for a church (Islamic Temple) and is considered compatible with the proposed residential development. Therefore, based on existing and proposed surrounding development, implementation of the Proposed Project would not physically divide any existing or future planned community. In addition, the Project would not conflict with any Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda

The MRZ-3 designation indicates that significance of mineral deposits within the area cannot be evaluated from the available data due to urbanization. The Proposed Project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource or locally-important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local plan that would be of value to the region and the residents of the State because the Project Site occurs within an urbanized area and approximately 57 acres of the 141-acre annexation area are already developed thereby limiting potential accessibility for future mining.

where such a plan has not been adopted, within
two miles of a public airport or public use airport,
would the project expose people residing or
working in the project area to excessive noise
levels?
( ) ( ) ( ) ()
a) Less than Significant Impact. Noise can be measured in the form of a decibel (dB), which is a unit for describing the amplitude of sound. The predominant rating scales for noise in the State of California are the Equivalent-Continuous Sound Level (Leq), and the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL), which are both based on the A-weighted decibel (dBA). Leq is defined as the total sound energy of time-varying noise over a sample period. CNEL is defined as the time-varying noise over a 24-hour period, with a weighting factor of 5 dBA applied to the hourly Leq for noises occurring from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (defined as relaxation hours) and 10 dBA applied to events occurring between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. defined as sleeping hours). The State of California’s Office of Noise Control has established standards and guidelines for acceptable community noise levels based on the CNEL and Ldn rating scales. The purpose of these standards and guidelines is to provide a framework for setting local standards for human exposure to noise. Residential development, schools, churches, hospitals, hotels and libraries have a normally acceptable community noise exposure range of 60 dBA CNEL to 70 dBA CNEL.
The Proposed Project includes a GPA and ZC to change the existing City of Loma Linda pre-zone designation from General Commercial to Low Density Residential; an Annexation application to annex the entire 141-acre Project Site into the City of Loma Linda; and approval of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 to subdivide the approximate an
66.68-acre area into 126 single-family residences.
Currently if TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 were developed under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County, then the development would be required to comply with the Countywide Plan Noise Element goals, policies, and Development Code. Upon approval of the Proposed Project, the area currently proposed for development would be annexed into the City of Loma Linda and would be required to comply with the City’s General Plan policies and the City’s Municipal Code noise standards. The County’s Development Code establishes rules and regulations for noise in Section 83.01.080. Temporary construction, maintenance, repair, and demolition activities between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, except Sundays and federal holidays are exempt from Section 83.01.080. Construction noise is considered a nuisance by the City of Loma Linda if it occurs between the hours of 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Developers that are involved with construction and grading may exceed maximum noise levels between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM, Monday through Friday, provided that all equipment is properly equipped with standard noise muffling apparatus specifically for such equipment (i.e., exhaust mufflers). Heavy construction is not permitted on weekends, or national holidays. Therefore, both jurisdictions allow temporary construction noise between the hours of 7:00 AM and Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
58 7:00 PM, however the City of Loma Linda extends the time frame by one hour to 8:00 PM.
The County allows construction on Saturdays which is prohibited by the City.
According to the policies in the City’s General Plan, when a proposed development could result in an increase of more than 3 dBA (“A-weighted decibel) above the existing background noise, a detailed noise attenuation study prepared by a qualified acoustical engineer is required to determine and incorporate mitigation into project design and implementation. A Noise Impact Analysis was prepared by Ganddini Group, Inc. in May 2022 to evaluate the proposed development and operation of TTM 20403 and 20404. The report is available for review at the City and is summarized herein.
Construction Noise
Modeled unmitigated construction noise levels when combined with existing measured noise levels ranged between 41.5 and 67.1 dBA Leq at the nearest receptors to the Project Site. When modeled construction noise levels are combined with existing ambient noise levels the modeled receptors will be exposed to short-term increases in ambient noise levels of up to 5 dB Leq. However, project construction will not occur outside of the hours defined as “exempt” in City of Loma Linda Municipal Code Sections 9.20.050 and 9.20.070 and therefore, will not result in or generate a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance.
In addition to adherence to the City of Loma Linda Municipal Code which limits the construction hours of operation, the following best management practices are recommended to further reduce construction noise, emanating from the proposed project:
1. Equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturer standards.
2. Place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the noise sensitive receptors nearest the project site.
3. As applicable, shut off all equipment when not in use.
4. Locate equipment staging in areas that create the greatest distance between construction-related noise/vibration sources and sensitive receptors.
5. Direct away and shield jackhammers, pneumatic equipment, and all other portable stationary noise sources from existing residences. Either one-inch plywood or sound blankets can be utilized for this purpose. They should reach up from the ground and block the line of sight between equipment and the residences. The shielding should be without holes and cracks.
6. Amplified music and/or voice will not be allowed on the project site.
7. Haul truck deliveries will not occur outside of the hours presented as exempt for construction per City of Loma Linda Municipal Code Sections 9.20.050 and 9.20.070.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
59 Existing average daily vehicle trips on roadways in the project vicinity range between 27,770 and 29,800 on Barton Road; and between 8,800 and 9,800 on San Timoteo Road.8 Project construction is expected to generate up to 489 vehicle trips per day (355 for worker trips and 134 for vendor trips). Given the Project Site’s proximity to I-10, it is anticipated that vendor and/or haul truck traffic would take the most direct route to the appropriate freeway ramps. Therefore, the addition of project vendor/haul trucks and worker vehicles per day along off-site roadway segments would not be anticipated to result in a doubling of traffic volumes. Off-site project generated construction vehicle trips would result in a negligible noise level increase and would not result in a substantial increase in ambient noise levels. Impacts would be less than significant. No mitigation measures are required.
Noise Impacts to Off-Site Receptors Due to Project Generated Trips The roadway noise level increases from project-generated vehicular traffic were modeled utilizing a computer program that replicates the FHWA Traffic Noise Prediction Model FHWA-RD-77-108.
Two of the modeled roadway segments that would experience increases above 5 dB are New Jersey Street from Barton Road to Bermudez Street, and New Jersey Street south of Bermudez Street. The land uses located adjacent to these roadway segments include single-family residential and church uses. Single-family residential uses are considered normally acceptable in areas with noise levels of up to 55 dBA CNEL and church uses in areas of up to 70 dBA CNEL. The modeled existing plus Project noise level along New Jersey Street from Barton Road to Bermudez Street is 54.6 dBA CNEL and the modeled existing plus project noise level along New Jersey Street south of Bermudez Street is 52.3 dBA CNEL. Therefore, although the roadway noise level increases along these roadway segments are above 5 dB, with project generated vehicle traffic the noise levels would still be below the City’s normally acceptable noise standards. Therefore, a change in noise levels would not be considered significant as traffic noise would not exceed the residential threshold.
Noise Impacts to the Proposed Project Associated with Future Traffic At buildout conditions, future transportation noise will exceed the City’s “normally acceptable” exterior noise standard of 55 dBA but will not exceed the City’s “conditionally acceptable” noise standard of 70 dBA CNEL for residential land uses at proposed residential lots.
As shown on the site plans for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404, solid barriers (i.e., 6-foot concrete block-wall) are proposed along the property lines of lots backing San Timoteo Canyon Road in order to reduce exterior noise levels to 65 dBA CNEL or below. With construction of this barrier interior noise levels would not exceed 45 dBA CNEL.
Furthermore, 65 dBA CNEL is the approximate noise level of conversation and is typically considered acceptable for outdoor land uses (e.g. backyards). Therefore, impacts to the proposed Project would be less than significant with construction of barriers (as shown in Site Plans and the May 2022, Noise Impact Analysis, Figure 9). The base of the
8 The existing average daily traffic volumes were obtained from the Canyon Ranch Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Ganddini Group (March 22, 2022).

60 recommended barriers would need to be the same height of the adjacent roadway; therefore, some adjustment may be required when final grading plans are approved. b) Less than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated. Groundborne vibration levels associated with Project construction have the potential to result in cosmetic architectural damage at residential structures to the north of the Project Site (along Barton Road) and the residential structures located to the north of TTM 20404 (along Romero Street).
Annoyance due to groundborne vibration becomes severe to sensitive receptors at a level of 0.4 in/sec PPV. Due to distance, construction activities associated with the proposed Project would have the potential to cause vibration related annoyance at the residential uses located to the north of the Project Site (along Barton Road). To ensure potential impacts are reduced to a less than significant level, the following mitigation measure shall be implemented.
Mitigation Measure N-1:
Vibratory rollers, or other similar vibratory equipment, shall be prohibited within 20 feet and large bulldozers within 12 feet of any existing residential structure. c) No Impact. The nearest airport to the Project Site is the San Bernardino International Airport located approximately three miles north of the 66.68-acre area proposed for residential development. The 141-acre annexation area including the 66.68-acre site falls well outside the 65 dBA noise contour for this airport (City of San Bernardino 2005).
Aircraft noise associated with the San Bernardino International Airport is not considered to be a source that contributes to the ambient noise levels for the proposed residential development. The Project would not expose persons residing within the area to excessive noise levels from aircraft. No impacts are identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.

a) Less than Significant Impact. The 141-acre annexation area occurs an unincorporated area of the County of San Bernardino, adjacent to the eastern boundary of the City of Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
61 Loma Linda and within the City’s Sphere of Influence. Under the current Countywide Plan, the entire 141-acre annexation area Site is designated Rural Living (RL-5).
Approximately 65 acres (64.45 acres) of the 141-acre annexation area is developed and includes the following land uses: residential, religious assembly, wellness facility and flood control facilities. Approximately 34 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is owned by San Bernardino County Flood Control District and land use associated with this area includes San Timoteo channel right-of-way.
The vacant properties within the annexation area include a 7.73-acre parcel and a
2.14-acre parcel. Both the 7.73-acre parcel and 2.14-acre parcel are designated by the County of San Bernardino as Rural Living (RL-5) and could be developed with a maximum of one dwelling unit. Under the City of Loma Linda existing pre-zone designation of General Commercial (C-2), future development of the 7.73-acre parcel could include a maximum of 202,031 square-feet of commercial development (based on maximum lot coverage of 60 percent); and the 2.14-acre parcel could include a maximum of 55,931 square-feet of commercial development; thus, resulting in a more intense land use when compared to the current County designation. However, given the location of the vacant properties (i.e., adjacent to Barton Road), future development of the vacant area with commercial uses would be compatible with existing commercial uses along Barton Road and would provide employment for the existing community and nearby areas and would not result in people moving to the area for employment as the commercial uses would likely provide “entry level” jobs likely to be filled by the surrounding communities.
Similarly, the extension of water and sewer service for the proposed residential development would not indirectly result in population growth for the area as surrounding parcels are developed, approximately 65 acres of the 141-acre annexation area is currently developed, and approval of the Project would develop the remaining 66.68 acres of the annexation area resulting in build out of the area and no additional development or growth with the exception of the two vacant parcels.
Based on 2.59 persons per household, the proposed development would result in more people (327 versus 37) than the County of San Bernardino General Plan existing land use designation. This increase in population represents approximately a 1.2 percent increase in Lomas Linda’s estimated current population of 25,000. This percentage is not considered substantial.
The addition of 126 single-family homes would not be considered growth inducing although it would result in a more intense (i.e., higher density) than the County’s current designation. In addition, existing infrastructure occurs within the area (i.e., San Timoteto Canyon Road, New Jersey Street, Barton Road, Beaumont Avenue; exception for the extension of water and sewer, no other significant expansion of utilities would be required.
A less than significant impact would result.
b) No Impact. The Proposed Project would not displace any people, or necessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere, because the Project would not displace any currently occupied housing; no impacts are anticipated.

Under the current Countywide Plan, the entire 141-acre annexation area Site is designated Rural Living (RL-5).
The vacant properties within the annexation area include a 7.73-acre parcel and a
2.14-acre parcel. Both the 7.73-acre parcel and 2.14-acre parcel are designated by the County of San Bernardino as Rural Living (RL-5) and could be developed with a maximum of one dwelling unit. Under the City of Loma Linda existing pre-zone designation of General Commercial (C-2), future development of the 7.73-acre parcel could include a maximum of 202,031 square-feet of commercial development (based on maximum lot coverage of 60 percent); and the 2.14-acre parcel could include a maximum of 55,931 square-feet of commercial development; thus, resulting in a more intense land use when compared to the current County designation. However, given the location of the vacant properties (i.e., adjacent to Barton Road), future development of the vacant area with commercial uses would be compatible with existing commercial uses along Barton Road and would provide employment for the existing community and nearby areas and would not result in people moving to the area for employment as the commercial uses would likely provide “entry level” jobs likely to be filled by the surrounding communities.
Based on 2.59 persons per household, approval of TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 would result in 290 more people (327 versus 37) within the Project Site than would development under the County of San Bernardino General Plan existing land use designation.

GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
63 a) Fire Protection:
Less Than Significant Impact. Currently, the Project Site is served by the City of Loma Linda Fire Station 251 located at 11325 Loma Linda Drive, approximately 2 miles southwest of the Project Site through a joint response/automated aid agreement with the County Fire Department, specifically the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCFPD) and its Valley Service Zone. Upon annexation the Project Site would be detached from the SBCFPD, Valley Service Zone (Zone FP-5) and would continue to be served by the City of Loma Linda. The Community Development Department and the Department of Public Safety enforce fire standards during review of building plans and inspections. The City maintains a joint response/automatic aid agreement with the fire departments in neighboring cities including Colton, Redlands, and San Bernardino. The Department also participates in the California Master Mutual Aid Agreement. The proposed development would be required to comply with City fire suppression standards and adequate fire access and pay City-required development fees.
Since the Project Site is currently served by the City and changes to service would not result upon annexation, impacts to fire response times are anticipated to be less than significant. With an estimated population of approximately 25,000 people, the firefighter to citizen ratio is approximately 1:3,125 (based on 8 firefighters per 24-hour shift). Upon annexation, an addition 327 new residents would be added to the City, this would result in a demand increase of approximately one percent in total firefighters to maintain the City’s current level of service. Under the County’s designation, an addition of 37 residents would result in a demand increase of approximately 0.13 percent. With the collection of developer impact fees, the Proposed Project would have less of an impact on Fire Services.
Police Protection:
Currently, the Project Site is located in the service area of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (SBSD) Central Station. The base of operation is out of the headquarters building located at 655 East Third Street in San Bernardino. The Department provides law enforcement services to the unincorporated areas of the San Bernardino County central valley; the Central Station is also responsible for contract law enforcement in the City of Loma Linda. The station is located approximately six miles northwest from the Project Site.
Upon annexation, police services for the Project Site would be provided by the City of Loma Linda through contract with the SBSD. Since the City of Loma Linda contracts with the SBSD, no substantial change in services would result. The SBSD currently has 12 sworn officers assigned to the City. With an estimated population of 25,000 people, the ratio of officers to citizens is approximately 1:2,083. The proposed development of 126 single-family homes would result in an additional 327 people and the officers to citizen ratio would change from 1:2,083 to 1:2,110. Under the County’s designation, an additional 37 new residents would result in an officer to citizen ratio of 1:2,086. With collection of developer impact fees the Proposed Project would have less of an impact on police services.

GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
64 Schools:
School services for the Project Site are currently provided by the Redlands Unified School District (RUSD). Upon annexation, the Project Site would continue to be served by RUSD.
The proposed development of 126 single-family homes would result in an additional 327 people. The School District mitigates impacts on school services through the collection of development fees. Under Section 65995 of the California Government Code, school districts may charge development fees to help finance local school services.
However, the code prohibits State or local agencies from imposing school impact fees, dedications, or other requirements in excess of the maximum allowable fee. Collection of school impacts fees as required by the Redlands Unified School District would ensure no significant impacts would result.
Parks:
Currently the San Bernardino County - Regional Park Department provides recreational facilities and amenities for the Project Site. There are a total of nine regional parks within the system encompassing 7,982 acres. In addition to regional-scale parks, there several community parks within the system. The nearest one to the Project Site services the community of Bloomington, approximately 13 miles northwest of the Project Site.
According to the Regional Parks Strategic Master Plan, adopted standards include
2.5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 population. With an estimated population of 2,088,371, total parkland requirements are 5,221 acres. Therefore, the County has an excess of 2,761 acres of parkland. Development of the site under the current County land use designation would result in an estimated population of 37 and would require approximately 0.1 acres of developed parkland.
The City of Loma Linda would provide parkland services for the Project Site. At this time, the City owns and administers 14 parks and has over 91 acres of parks and a total of 1,725 acres of park and open space area located within the City. The City has adopted a population to parkland acreage ratio of five acres per 1,000 population. With an estimated population of 25,000 people the City currently has a park ratio of approximately 3.6 acres per 1,000 population and therefore, falls short of the park ratio of five acres per 1,000 population. The Proposed Project would generate 327 new residents within the area and would require an additional 1.6 acres of parkland for the City to maintain its policy of five acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The Proposed Project would contribute to the City’s current insufficient parkland acreage. However, the collection of development impacts fees and inclusion of open space lots proposed within the development would ensure no significant impacts would result. In addition, new residents would have access to County Regional Parks as these park services would not change as a result of annexation. Less than significant impacts would result.
Other Public Facilities:
Currently, no street lighting service is provided within or adjacent to the Project Site (e.g. along San Timoteo Canyon Road). In addition, there are no traffic signals near the boundary of the Project Site.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
65 Upon annexation, the Project Site will be automatically included into the City of Loma Linda’s Street Lighting District. Once the area is annexed into the City and the Street Lighting District, installation and maintenance of new street lights proposed within TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 will be provided by the City. In addition, the traffic signal required at the intersection of Nevada Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road (see Section XVII of this Initial Study) would be maintained by the City.
Generally, starting from the first light at the intersection, one street light would be installed every 200 feet. The developer is expected to cover all street light installation costs in addition to maintenance costs for a year. After a year, the City will start maintaining the street lights and will charge an annual assessment fee per single-family unit. No impacts are anticipated.

physical deterioration of the facility would occur
or be accelerated?
( ) ( ) () ( )
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or
require the construction or expansion of

adverse physical effect on the environment?
( ) ( ) ( ) ()
a) Less Than Significant Impact. Currently the San Bernardino County - Regional Park Department provides recreational facilities and amenities for the Project Site. However since there are no local or regional park facilities in the annexation area it is likely that current residents in the annexation area use nearby City of Loma Linda park facilities.
There are a total of nine regional parks within the system encompassing 7,982 acres. In addition to regional-scale parks, there are a number of community parks within the system.
The nearest one to the Project Site services the community of Bloomington, approximately 13 miles northwest of the Project Site. According to the Regional Parks Strategic Master Plan, adopted standards include 2.5 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 population.
With an estimated population of 2,088,371, total parkland requirements are 5,221 acres.
Therefore the County has an excess of 2,761 acres of parkland. Development of the site under the current County land use designation of Rural Residential would result in an estimated population of 37 and would require approximately 0.1 acres of developed parkland. It is likely that future residents of the development, are currently residing within the County of San Bernardino as it is the largest county within the United States.
Therefore, approval of the Project would not increase the use of existing regional parks such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur.
The City of Loma Linda would provide parkland services for the Project Site. At this time, the City owns and administers ten parks. Over 91 acres of parks and a total of 1,725 acres Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda

In addition, new residents would have access to County Regional Parks as these park services would not change as a result of annexation.
Therefore, a less than significant impacts would result. b) No Impact. The Proposed Project includes open space lots within TTMs 20403 and 20404; however, the construction of these open space lots is a part of the proposed storm water system for the development. The Project does not include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that would have an adverse physical effect on the environment

The reports are available for review at the City of Loma Linda Community Development Department and findings of the reports are summarized herein.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
67 The Project includes the annexation of an approximate 141-acre site and the development of an approximate 66.7-acre area with single-family residences. The 66.7-acre area is currently vacant and would be developed with 126 single-family residences. Vehicular access for the Project Site will be provided at Barton Road, New Jersey Street, San Timoteo Canyon Road and Nevada Street. Additionally, the Project will vacate the Bermudez Street and San Timoteo Canyon Road intersection and construct a new cul-desac on the northern side of APN 0293-091-04 with a 30-foot access driveway for the adjacent parcel on the east.
Study Area
Based on the study intersections identified in the approved scoping agreement, the study area consists of the following study intersections within the City of Loma Linda and City of Redlands:

Level of Service analysis was performed for assessing conformance with General Plan and operational standards established by the City. In accordance with current CEQA provisions, a project’s effect on automobile delay (as measured by Level of Service) shall not constitute a significant environmental impact. Level of Service is used to qualitatively describe the performance of a roadway facility, ranging from Level of Service A (free-flow conditions) to Level of Service F (extreme congestion and system failure).

68 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The definition of an intersection deficiency has been obtained from the City of Loma Linda General Plan. The General Plan Policy T-6.10.1, seeks to maintain Level of Service (C or better) for peak hour intersection operations.
In any location where the Level of Service (LOS) is Level of Service (D or worse) at the time an application for a development project is submitted, roadway improvement measures shall be imposed on that development project to assure, at a minimum, that the level of traffic service is maintained at Levels of Service that are no worse than those existing at the time an application for development is filed.
A traffic impact is considered a project-related impact if the project both: 1) contributes measurable traffic to and 2) substantially and adversely changes the Level of Service at any off-site location projected to experience deficient operations under foreseeable cumulative conditions, where feasible improvements consistent with the City of Loma Linda General Plan cannot be constructed.
The City of Redlands General Plan and Measure U Section 1A.60 Principle Six has established the minimum acceptable Level of Service (C or better) for roadway segment and peak hour intersection operations. Where the current operation is Level of Service (D or worse), roadway improvements shall be provided such that the LOS is not reduced below the LOS at the time of the application, or as provided in Section 5.20 of the Redlands General Plan where a more intense Level of Service is specifically permitted, for Existing Plus Project conditions.
Existing Conditions
Regional access to the Project Site is provided by Interstate 10 approximately 1.7 miles to the north-west. Local north-south circulation is provided by Nevada Street, San Timoteo Canyon Road, New Jersey Street, and east-west circulation is provided by Barton Road.
To account for lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on current traffic volumes, the peak hour intersection volumes collected in November 2021 were compared to historical traffic counts to assess whether adjustments were necessary to reflect non-pandemic conditions. As concluded in the TIA, the study intersection Levels of Service for Existing (Year 2021) are currently operating within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better).

The 141-acre annexation area trip generation is based upon trip generation rates obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition, 2021). As shown in Table 15, when the potential future commercial, existing church and proposed residential projects are accounted for and added to the remaining balance of the proposed zoning areas there is a slight reduction in the forecast trip generation for the General Plan Buildout condition. As shown in Table 15, the annexation area is forecast to generate approximately 4,429 daily trips, including 382 trips during the AM peak hour and 1,136 trips during the PM peak hour. The proposed annexation and zone change is forecast to result in a net of 1,189 more daily trips, including 87 more trips during the AM peak hour and 118 more trips during the PM peak hour.

Future Volume Forecasts – To assess future conditions, existing volumes were combined with project trips, ambient growth, and other development trips. The Project completion year for analysis purposes was 2024. To account for growth associated with other development projects, trips generated by other pending or approved but unconstructed developments in the City of Loma Linda and City of Redlands were reviewed and added to the study area as appropriate. General Buildout (Year 2040) forecasts were determined using a growth increment approach with the San Bernardino Transportation Analysis Model (SBTAM) base year and horizon year travel demand model plots.
Future Levels of Service Analysis
The study intersection Levels of Service for Existing Plus Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Existing Plus Project conditions. The study intersection Levels of Service for Opening Year (2024) Without Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Opening Year (2024) Without Project conditions. The study intersection Levels of Service for Opening Year (2024) With Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Opening Year (2024) With Project conditions. Therefore, the proposed project is forecast to result in no project-related Level of Service deficiencies at the study intersections for the Opening Year (2024) With Project scenario.
Year 2040 without Project
The study intersection Levels of Service for Year 2040 Without Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Year 2040 Without Project conditions, except for the following study intersection that is forecast to operate at Levels of Service D or worse during peak hours:
Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road (EW) (D-AM / E-PM peak hour) The installation of a traffic signal is recommended at the Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road intersection. The study intersections are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours with improvements.
Year 2040 with Project
The study intersection Levels of Service for Year 2040 With Project conditions are forecast to operate within acceptable Levels of Service (C or better) during the peak hours for Year 2040 With Project conditions, except for the following study intersection that is forecast to operate at Levels of Service D or worse during peak hours:

71 Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road (EW) (D-AM / E-PM peak hour) Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
The potential need for installation of a traffic signal at crossroad stop control study intersections was evaluated based on the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (California MUTCD, November 2014), Section 4C-101, peak hour volume warrant (Warrant 3). The California MUTCD states that a traffic control signal should not be installed unless one or more warrants are satisfied. Application of the traffic signal warrant was based on engineering judgement and satisfaction of one or more traffic signal warrants.
A traffic signal is projected to be warranted at the following study intersection based upon the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2014), peak hour volume warrant (Warrant 3):
Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road (EW)
The Project Proponent is not solely responsible for installation of the traffic signal, especially since it is not warranted until 2040 without Project. In accordance with City of Loma Linda Development Impact Fee program as adopted in 2021 (Resolution Number 2841), the Project Proponent is required to contribute towards the funding mechanism for arterial streets, traffic signals, interchange improvements as well as emergency services. The purpose is to minimize to the greatest extent practicable, the impact that new development has on the City’s public services and public facilities. The City intends that applicants pay their fair share of the costs of providing such public services and public facilities. Unless otherwise approved by the City, all development projects are required to pay the Development Impact Fee as a condition of development. Table 16 shows the Proposed Project’s Fair Share Analysis.
The Project fair share analysis is based on the proportion of Project peak-hour traffic volume contributed to the improvement location relative to the total new peak hour traffic volume for General Plan Buildout (Year 2040) With Project traffic conditions. The cost estimates for the identified improvements were obtained from the County of San Bernardino Congestion Management Program (2003 Update). The Project proportional intersection trip contributions were calculated for General Plan Buildout (Year 2040) With Project traffic conditions.

Notes: (1) Cost estimate based on values from the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority Preliminary Construction Cost Estimates For Congestion Management Program (2003). Costs estimates are sensitive to the quantity and location of work specified for a given installation. These values represent the relative magnitude of the cost and should be verified through the bidding process. (2) Project share of new trips shown are the greater of the AM or PM percent contribution. (3) For intersections with no significant impact project percentages are shown for information purposes only.
In order to maintain acceptable Levels of Service and mitigate project impacts, the following mitigation measures shall be made conditions of Project approval:
Mitigation Measure T-1:
The Project Proponent shall pay the appropriate transportation Development Impact Fee(s) as required by the City as well as the fair share costs estimated at $38,835 for the installation of a traffic signal, construction of one southbound left turn lane and one westbound right turn lane at the intersection of Nevada Street (NS) at San Timoteo Canyon Road (EW) as shown in Figure 11 of the March 2022 Traffic Impact Analysis.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
73 Mitigation Measure T-2:
Prior to the start of any construction work, the applicant shall submit to the City Engineer a construction work site traffic control plan for review and approval. The plan shall show the location of any roadway, sidewalk, bike route, bus stop or driveway closures, traffic detours, haul routes, hours of operation, protective devices, warning signs and access to abutting properties. Temporary traffic controls used around the construction area shall adhere to the standards set forth in the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2014, including latest revisions) and construction activities shall adhere to applicable local ordinances.
Implementation of the above mitigation measures would ensure project-related traffic impacts are reduced to a less than significant level.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. The Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) assessment for CEQA compliance was prepared in accordance with the standard City of Loma Linda procedures, and County Guidelines. California Senate Bill 743 (SB 743) directs the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to amend the CEQA Guidelines for evaluating transportation impacts to provide alternatives to Level of Service that “promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the development of multimodal transportation networks, and a diversity of land uses.” In December 2018, the California Natural Resources Agency certified and adopted the updated CEQA Guidelines package. The amended CEQA Guidelines, specifically Section 15064.3, recommend the use of VMT as the primary metric for the evaluation of transportation impacts associated with land use and transportation projects. In general terms, VMT quantifies the amount and distance of automobile travel attributable to a project or region. All agencies and projects State-wide are required to utilize the updated CEQA guidelines recommending use of VMT for evaluating transportation impacts as of July 1, 2020. The updated CEQA Guidelines allow for lead agency discretion in establishing methodologies and thresholds provided there is substantial evidence to demonstrate that the established procedures promote the intended goals of the legislation. Where quantitative models or methods are unavailable, Section 15064.3 allows agencies to assess VMT qualitatively using factors such as availability of transit and proximity to other As the City of Loma Linda has adopted the County of San Bernardino VMT guidelines or thresholds for evaluating transportation impacts under CEQA, the Project VMT assessment was prepared in accordance with guidance from City staff and the County Guidelines, which were developed from recommendations contained in the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (State of California, December 2018) [“OPR Technical Advisory”].
The County Guidelines identify screening criteria for certain types of projects that typically reduce VMT and may presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact; these include:
Projects located within a Transit Priority Area (TPA) Projects located within one-half mile radius of transit stop1 or high-quality transit corridor2
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
74 Projects located within a low VMT area
Site location can be verified with the web-based or map-based VMT Screening Tool
Project Type Screening
Local serving land use
Retail land use projects which do not exceed 50,000 square feet of gross floor area
Existing projects and redevelopment projects up to 10,000 square feet3 Projects with trip generate less than net new 110 daily vehicle4 trips (ADT) Residential and office projects located within a low VMT generating area are presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. In addition, other employment-related and mixed-use land use projects may qualify for the use of screening if the project can reasonably be expected to generate VMT per resident, per worker, or per service population that is similar to the existing land uses in the low VMT area. Based on the County-established thresholds, a project satisfies the low VMT screening criteria if it occurs in a traffic analysis zone (TAZ) that does not exceed four percent below the existing County of San Bernardino baseline VMT per service population.
To identify if the project is in a low VMT area, the San Bernardino County Transportation Analysis (SBCTA) VMT Screening Tool was used. The SBCTA VMT Screening Tool was developed from the San Bernardino Transportation Analysis Model (SBTAM) travel forecasting model to measure VMT performance for individual jurisdictions and for individual traffic analysis zones (TAZs). TAZs are geographic polygons similar to census block groups used to represent areas of homogenous travel behavior. Projects located in areas that incorporate similar features of the TAZ will tend to exhibit similar VMT. This presumption may not be appropriate if the project land uses would alter the existing built environment in such a way as to increase the rate or length of vehicle trips.
As concluded in the VMT assessment, the proposed residential tracts within the Annexation Area are consistent with existing residential land uses in the project TAZ and there does not appear to be anything unique about the project that would otherwise be mis-represented utilizing the data from the SBCTA VMT Screening Tool. Based on the SBCTA VMT Screening Tool assessment, the Proposed Project is located within TAZ 53817201. For the baseline year (2021) the VMT per service population for the project’s TAZ is equal to 25.8 and the County-established threshold is equal to 35.3. Therefore, the Proposed Project satisfies the County-established screening criteria for projects located in low VMT areas.
c) No Impact. The Proposed Project would not create or substantially increase hazardous conditions due to its design. There are no sharp curves, dangerous intersections, or incompatible uses that would interfere with traffic flow or result in inadequate emergency access. Access to the site would be provided along New Jersey Street and Citrus Avenue.
Implementation of Mitigation Measures T-1 and T-2 would ensure appropriate traffic safety measures are provided for the Project. Further, site plans have been reviewed by the City Fire Marshall and design changes have been incorporated as directed. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
75 d) No Impact. Construction activities would take place within the boundaries of the
66.68-acre area proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404. Neither the construction nor post-construction activities would result in inadequate emergency access. As previously discussed, plans were reviewed by the City Fire Marshall to ensure appropriate ingress/egress has been provided for fire apparatus. No impacts have been identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are warranted.

XVIII. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES.
Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21704 as either a site,
feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:
a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California

76 A response was received from Ryan Nordness of the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation on April 20, 2022 via email. Nordness indicated that the Proposed Project area exists within Serrano ancestral territory and, therefore, is of interest to the Tribe. However, due to the nature and location of the Proposed Project, SMBMI does not have any concerns with the Project’s implementation, as planned, at this time. SMBMI requested that the following mitigation measures be made a part of the Project’s conditions of approval:
Mitigation Measure TCR-1:
The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians Cultural Resources Department (SMBMI) shall be contacted, as detailed in CR-1, of any pre-contact and/or historic-era cultural resources discovered during project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a cultural resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in coordination with SMBMI, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this Plan.
This Plan shall allow for a monitor to be present that represents SMBMI for the remainder of the project, should SMBMI elect to place a monitor on-site.
Mitigation Measure TCR-2:
Any and all archaeological/cultural documents created as a part of the project (isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to SMBMI. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with SMBMI throughout the life of the project.
Based on completion of consultation under AB 52 with interested tribes, implementation of the above mitigation measures shall ensure that potential impacts to tribal cultural resources are reduced to a less than significant level.

a,c) Less Than Significant. The City of Loma Linda provides the operation and maintenance of sewer collection facilities for the City and the Sphere of Influence areas. This service is maintained by the City’s Department of Public Works, Utilities Division. Sewer line maintenance is administered by the City while wastewater treatment services are administered under provisions in a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with the City of San Bernardino. At the San Bernardino Municipal Water Department wastewater facility, wastewater is treated to the secondary level. Effluent is then piped to a tertiary treatment facility, known as the RI/X plant, before being discharged to the Santa Ana River. The City of Loma Linda, through its agreement with the City of San Bernardino, also participates in the cost of the RI/X plant.
The City of San Bernardino wastewater facility has the capacity to process up to 33 million gallons per day (gpd), of which 7 million gpd is allotted to Loma Linda. Of the 7 million gpd, the City currently uses less than half of the assigned 7 million gpd. According to the Loma Linda’s General Plan, the average wastewater flow generated by the City during ultimate build out conditions is projected to be 6.27 million gpd. There would be adequate capacity and allocation for treatment of wastewater flow from the proposed annexation.

GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
79 The Project Proponent would be responsible for connecting the proposed 126-unit development to the City’s sewer system. The proposed development would not result in a significant impact on the wastewater treatment facility in the City of San Bernardino or require the expansion of existing sewer facilities. A wastewater collection system fee would be required by the City of Loma Linda for the 126 new residential units.
The San Bernardino County Flood Control District services the City for local and regional flood control and drainage facilities. The 141-acre annexation area is currently served by existing storm drains. The County Flood Control District is responsible for flood protection on major streams, water conservation, and storm drain construction. In accordance with the NPDES permit program, the Project Proponent of the 126 single-family residential units is required to design the storm water collection system to control water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into the water. Any improvements to the current drainage system will be determined by the City Engineer. Costs for these improvements will be covered by the developer through development impact fees for the proposed 126 new units.
Although no significant amount of additional stormwater is anticipated, drainage plans would be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer to ensure the system would have sufficient carrying capacity (see Section X of this Initial Study). Proposed development of the 66.68-acre area also includes the construction of on-site water retention facilities. No significant impacts are anticipated.
b) Less Than Significant. The City of Loma Linda provides the production and distribution of water within the City and the Sphere of Influence areas. The City obtains its water from groundwater wells in the Bunker Hill Basin, an aquifer underlying the eastern San Bernardino Valley. The City operates five groundwater wells: Richardson Wells 1, 3, and 4 and Mountain View Wells 3 and 5. These production wells have a combined capacity of 14 million gallons per day. The City also has emergency water connections with the City of San Bernardino as well as the City of Redlands water systems.
In addition to the existing wells, a new water treatment plant, located on a City of Loma Linda-owned land surrounded by the City of San Bernardino opened in October, 2010.
This treatment plant provides Loma Linda’s 22,000 water customers with an additional supply of water. Lockheed Martin developed the water treatment plant on the site to treat the groundwater that was contaminated by its operational facility in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
The new plant is capable of pumping and filtering 4,800 gallons of water per minute or about 6.9 million gallons per day (mgd).
The City is currently processing a plan for a new 1.6-million-gallon water tank to add water capacity to the area and add to the reserves. The City plans to install a waterline on Beaumont Avenue from the San Timoteo Creek Channel bridge/rail road crossing to Nevada Street9. All surrounding lots, new and existing, would have access to it. Currently, the Islamic Temple (under construction and located within the southern portion of the annexation area) has a waterline loop from Barton Road that they can tap into; the lines

80 are 8-inches in diameter. As discussed with the City Engineer, review of the water system and the need for the 1.6-million-gallon water tank and waterline, took into account the sphere of influence area and future development within the area.
Currently, the City’s water resources are sufficient to meet the demand at build out based on the City’s current resources and the anticipated new development. The City has the ability to finance and construct required facilities necessary to obtain the water supply to meet planned growth. A less than significant impact is anticipated. d) Less Than Significant. Solid waste services for the annexation area are currently provided by San Bernardino County through contract with Republic Services of Southern California. Upon annexation solid waste management services would transfer from the County to the City of Loma Linda.
The City contracts with CR&R Environmental Services to provide solid waste collection services. Solid waste that is not diverted to recycling or composting facilities is transported to the San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill, a County-owned landfill located in the City of Redlands. The San Timoteo Sanitary Landfill is permitted to receive up to a maximum of 2,000 tons per day. Current estimates indicate that the average disposal rate is 663 tons per day; landfill capacity is currently anticipated to last until the year 2044. According to Cal-Recycle’s estimated solid waste generation rates for residential, the 126 single-family residential development is expected to generate approximately 1,541 pounds per day (126 dwelling units times 12.23 pounds per household per day) or 0.77 tons per day which represents approximately 0.08 percent of the landfill’s maximum tons per day. Proposed development would not generate a significant amount of additional solid waste into the City’s waste stream; impacts to the solid waste collection system would be less than significant.
e) Less Than Significant. Construction & Demolition debris represents a large portion of materials being disposed of at landfills. To achieve the State-mandated diversion goal, the City has implemented a variety of programs that seek to reduce the volume of solid waste generated, encourage reuse, and support recycling efforts. City programs include the distribution of educational materials to local schools and organizations. The City also requires all projects, including the Proposed Project, to comply with Resolution No. 2129 Construction and Demolition Recycling/Reuse Policy as adopted by the City Council.
Upon annexation the Project would be required to comply with this resolution which shall be made a condition of Project approval. Therefore, no adverse significant impacts have been identified or are anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.

( ) ( ) () ( )
Impact Discussion:
a) No Impact. The Project Site does not contain any emergency facilities; however, a portion of San Timoteo Canyon Road (up to New Jersey Street) is identified as a San Bernardino County Transportation Authority evacuation route10. During construction, the Project Proponent would be required to maintain adequate emergency access for emergency vehicles. The Proposed Project would not interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan as the proposed development would occur within the boundaries of the Project Site; therefore, no impacts are identified or are anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.
b) Less than Significant impact. As shown on Figure 10.4 of the City’s General Plan, the 141-acre annexation area occurs within an area identified as having moderate wildfire risk exposure. Prolonged droughts coupled with high winds and dry vegetation during summer months creates the highest fire risk in the South Hills. Loma Linda is subject to Santa Ana winds, which are defined by the National Weather Service as "strong down slope winds that blow through the mountain passes in southern California. These winds, which can easily exceed 40 miles per hour, are warm and dry and can severely exacerbate brush or forest fires, especially under drought conditions." These winds, which typically occur several times per year between September and December, have been known to topple power lines, trees, and streetlights and can also spread uncontrolled wildfire and hinder firefighters from reaching fires. As a standard requirement, final plans must be reviewed and approved by the Fire Department. The Applicant would be required to comply with Conditions of Approval as set forth by the Fire Department to ensure a less than significant impact would result.

GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
82 c) No Impact. The Proposed Project includes the construction of 126 single-family residences and associated infrastructure includes internal roadways, and extension of water and sewer lines to serve the development. However, the risk of fire from construction/installation activities is not anticipated, nor would ongoing impacts to the environment result. No impacts are identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.
d) No Impact. The 141-acre annexation area occurs outside of any FEMA flood risk exposure11. The area proposed for development of 126 single-family residential units is not located within an identified high fire hazard area. Post construction activities associated with single-family homes is not associated with a high fire hazard risk.
Therefore, the Proposed Project would not risk the loss, injury, or death involving pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire, or expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. No significant adverse impacts are identified or anticipated and no mitigation measures are required.

83 a) Less Than Significant Impact. Based on the literature review and observations made, no State or federally listed threatened or endangered species are expected to occur at the Project Site and in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, no plant species with the California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) of 1 or 2 were observed in the areas proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 or documented to occur in the relevant databases. No other sensitive species were observed within the Project or buffer area. Additionally, no plant species with the California Rare Plant Rank (CRPR) of 1 or 2 were observed in the areas proposed for TTM 20403 and TTM 20404 or documented to occur in the relevant databases. No other sensitive species were observed within the Project or buffer area. To ensure potential impacts to the BUOW and nesting birds are reduced to a less than significant impact, Mitigation Measures BIO-1 and BIO-2 shall be made conditions of Project approval.
The intensive archaeological survey resulted in the observation of two previously recorded historic resources, and no new historic or prehistoric resources. The previously recorded historic site (P-36-023575), which consists of an abandoned orchard containing a water conveyance system, was updated and submitted to the South SCCIC. The previously recorded Bermudez Street (P-36-032480) was observed with no changes to note since the last update dating to 2017, and no update for this resource is required. Both of these resources are not considered significant under the NRHP and CRHR. To be listed in the NRHP or the CRHR, a property must not only be shown to be significant under the NRHP or the CRHR criteria, but it also must have integrity. P-36-032480 does not appear to meet the NRHP Criterion A, B, C, and D or CRHR Criterion 1, 2, 3, and 4. However, to ensure potential impacts to unanticipated resources are reduced to a less than significant level, Mitigation Measures CR-1 and CR-2 shall be made conditions of Project approval.
Implementation of mitigation measures provided in this Initial Study would ensure potential impacts are reduced to a less than significant level.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. Although not significant on its own, the Proposed Project would contribute to cumulative air emissions in the region, as would all future development in the region. The Loma Linda General Plan EIR was prepared to determine if any significant adverse environmental effects would result with implementation of the proposed General Plan including the areas within its Sphere of Influence. The EIR concluded that the General Plan would result in unavoidable significant impacts to air quality, biological resources, water supply, traffic and circulation and open space.
Mitigation measures were adopted for each of these resources; however they would not reduce impacts to less than significant levels. As such, the City adopted a statement of overriding considerations to balance the benefits of development under the General Plan against the significant unavoidable adverse impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15092 and 15096(h)).
The Proposed Project would contribute to the cumulative loss of agricultural lands within the region. Loma Linda as the Lead Agency has accepted the long-time demise of agriculture and does not designate any areas within the City as agricultural, although there are still agricultural land uses within the City and its Sphere of Influence. As concluded in the LESA model proposed for the Project, the loss of 6.15 acres of Prime Farmland was found to be less than significant. No additional mitigation is warranted.
Draft Initial Study for Annexation City of Loma Linda
GPA, ZC and TTM 20403 and 20404
84 c) Less Than Significant Impact. The Proposed Project would not cause substantial longterm adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Short-term construction emissions were screened for the 126 single-family residential units and found not to exceed SCAQMD thresholds. The Applicant would be required to comply with SCAQMD rules and regulations 402 and 403 (watering exposed areas, etc.). The 66.68-acre area proposed for development does not occur on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, and therefore would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment.
In addition, construction activities would temporarily increase ambient noise levels for the surrounding area. According to the City’s Development Code and County standards, all temporary construction activities are exempt from the noise standards as long as construction activities are limited to the daytime hours (7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) Monday through Friday, with no heavy construction occurring on weekends or national holidays, and construction equipment is to be properly maintained with working mufflers.
Groundborne vibration levels associated with Project construction have the potential to result in cosmetic architectural damage at residential structures to the north of the Project Site (along Barton Road) and the residential structures located to the north of TTM 20404 (along Romero Street). Implementation of Mitigation Measure N-1 as provided in this Initial Study would ensure impacts from vibration are reduced to a less than significant level.

MITIGATION MONITORING REPORTING PROGRAM
MITIGATIONS: The MMRP, attached to these conditions, lists mitigation measures listed in the Final Initial Study prepared for the Project and identifies mitigation monitoring requirements.
The MMRP is intended to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures identified in the Final Initial Study during implementation of each construction phase of the project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Annexation of approximately 141 acres in an unincorporated portion of San Bernardino County. Along with the annexation, is Tentative Tract Map 20403, a
10.96-acre subdivision for the construction of 37 single-family residential units, and Tentative Tract Map 20404, a 55.72-acre subdivision for the construction of 89 residential units. Both maps will include lettered lots for drainage as well as site and infrastructure improvements. The request also includes the vacation of the extension of Bermudez Street to San Timoteo Canyon Road and will end Bermudez Street as a cul-de-sac. The variance request is seeking relief from Sections 17.14.100 and 17.14.110 of the Municipal Code, which will allow the block wall at all indicated corner lots to encroach 15’ into the street-side setback and be located on the property line and to allow the vinyl fencing to exceed the reverse corner lot height limit of 5’ to 5’-6”. A Zone Change and GPA will change 4 commercially designated lots to low density residential.
