2079
Planning Commission Staff Report
File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018
December 20, 2021

California Commerce Center Specific Plan, and are improved with warehousing, light industrial, commercial, and retail developments. The properties to the south are within the Entratter Industrial Specific Plan and the IG (General Industrial) zoning district, are developed with warehouses. To the east of the Project site is the Interstate 15 freeway.

The existing surrounding land uses, zoning, and general plan and specific plan land use designations are summarized in the “Surrounding Zoning & Land Uses” table located in the Technical Appendix of this report.

PROJECT ANALYSIS:
(1) Background — The Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan was established in 1993 by the City Council to govern the development of the Specific Plan area.

Subsequently, the specific plan area was developed in 1994 with a warehouse and distribution facility for Toyota North American Parts that includes warehouse space, ancillary office, parking lot, a truck yard, landscaping, a private street (Toyota Way), and other associated site improvements. The northwest portion of the Specific Plan area, however, was left vacant and undeveloped.

On June 2, 2020, the City Council adopted 1) Resolution No. R2020-063 approving the use of an Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2008101140), which was certified by the Ontario City Council on January 27, 2010, and 2) Resolution No. R2020-064, approving a Specific Plan Amendment to the Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan (File No. PSPA19-004) to allow Industrial Mixed-Use land uses and update the landscape palette to incorporate drought tolerant plant species.

On May 10, 2021, the Applicant submitted a Tentative Parcel Map and Development Plan applications requesting approval for the development and the construction of two industrial buildings with associated site improvements on the remaining vacant portion of the Project site.
(2) Addendum — The related Applications establish a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) ("CEQA") and an Initial Study/Addendum has been prepared to determine possible environmental impacts. Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, however all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in an earlier Certified EIR, and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier Certified EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed on the proposed project, so nothing further is required. The Project will introduce no new significant environmental impacts beyond those previously analyzed in the Certified EIR, and all mitigation measures previously adopted by the Environmental Impact Report are a condition of project approval and are incorporated in the Initial Study/Addendum (see Attachment A—EIR Addendum, attached).

(3) Tentative Parcel Map No. 20147 (File No. PMTT21-010) — The Applicant is proposing to subdivide the 95.35-acre Project site into three numbered lots (see Exhibit B—Parcel Map and Exhibit C—Site Plan, both attached). Parcel 1 will be 81.67 acres in size and encompass the area already developed with the Toyota warehouse and distribution facility, Toyota Way (private street), and existing landscaped areas. Parcel 2 is the northwest parcel, occupying the corner of Milliken Avenue and Jurupa Street, and will be 8.24 acres in size. Parcel 3 is located to the south of Parcel 2 and located at the northeast corner of Milliken Avenue and Toyota Way, encompassing 3.79 acres of land.

Parcels 2 and 3 comprise the existing vacant land in the northwest portion of the Project site. The lot sizes proposed by the tentative parcel map exceed the one-acre minimum lot size required by the Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan. (4) Development Plan (File No. PDEV21-018)
(a) Site Design/Building Layout — The Applicant is proposing to construct two industrial buildings and associated site improvements on the vacant portion of the Project site, at the northwest corner (see Exhibit C—Site Plan, attached) of the Specific Plan area.

The subject area is triangular in shape and 13.07 acres in size. It is bounded by Jurupa Street to the north, Toyota Way to the south and east, and Milliken Avenue to the west.

There is a City well site located on a separate parcel located along the Jurupa Street frontage, midway between the Milliken Avenue and Toyota Way intersections, and is not part of the Project site. No new development is proposed in the area south and east of Toyota Way, as this area is already developed with an 807,067-square-foot industrial building, including 48,929 square feet of office space.

The proposed Building A on Parcel 2 is the larger of the two new buildings, at a total of 118,067 square feet, including 10,000 square feet of ancillary office space. This building is rectangular in shape and is designed with main entrances on the northwest and northeast corners of the building. The parking lot areas surround this building on four sides, providing a total of 131 parking spaces. The truck yard area is located along the south elevation and provides 25 truck dock positions, which will be screened from public view and gated.

Proposed Building B on Parcel 3 is a 50,705-square-foot industrial building, with 5,000 square feet of office space. The office area is located at the northwest corner of the building. The parking lot areas are on the north, south, and west sides of the building, with a total of 63 parking spaces. This industrial building also provides eight truck dock positions, which are located on the north side of the building. Consistent with Building A, the truck yard for Building B will be gated and screened from public view. (b) Site Access/Circulation — The Project site has existing access via Toyota Way, which is a private street that intersects with Milliken Avenue on the west and Jurupa Street to the north. The new industrial buildings will have access from new driveway approaches on Milliken Avenue and Toyota Way. Direct access from Jurupa Street is not proposed. The primary passenger vehicle and truck access is provided via a shared 2081
Planning Commission Staff Report

December 20, 2021

driveway on Milliken Avenue, approximately 400 feet south of Jurupa Street. Secondary access is available at two locations along Toyota Way.

Internal circulation is provided by minimum 24-foot-wide drive aisles along the building perimeter. The truck yard for Building A has two gated access points, one each on the east and west ends of the yard. The truck yard for Building B has one access point, which is located at the west end of the yard, near the primary driveway approach on Milliken Avenue.

Pedestrian access paths that lead to the building entrances are at three locations on the Project site. Two paths are located along Milliken Avenue, and the third path is along Jurupa Street.
(c) Parking — The Project is required to provide 69 passenger vehicle parking spaces for Building A and 36 passenger vehicle parking spaces for Building B. The Project provides 131 vehicle parking spaces for Building A and 63 parking spaces for Building B, exceeding the passenger vehicle parking space requirements. Table 1 provides a parking summary for the Project.

In addition to passenger vehicle parking spaces, the Project is required to provide trucktrailer parking spaces. The proposed site design provides the minimum number of trucktrailer parking spaces required for the Project. (d) Architecture — The architectural design of the proposed buildings is based on the existing warehouse building design to present a cohesive architectural style among the three industrial buildings. The new buildings will be of concrete tilt-up construction with painted and scored accents. The building elevations will have variations in the glazing and paint color, which are proposed to be a color scheme of white with medium and gray accents, and blue trim (see Exhibit D—Exterior Elevations, attached). The building design also incorporates recessed primary entry doors, two story glazing, concrete trellis with metal fins, and variations in parapet height, all of which are designs that can be found on the existing warehouse building on the Project site.

(e) Landscaping — Landscaping is proposed along all street frontages, including Toyota Way, and will maintain the existing mature trees along Jurupa Street and Milliken Avenue. Areas that are not developed with structures, parking lot or other site amenity will be landscaped in accordance with City requirements. The Project is required to provide landscape areas over at least 15 percent of the lot area. The Project exceeds this requirement, with 29 percent landscape coverage on Parcel 2, where Building A is located, and 35 percent landscape coverage on Parcel 3, where Building B is located.
(f) Signage — Project signage is not proposed as part of this Project. As conditioned, signage shall be required to comply with the Ontario Development Code Division 8.1 (Sign Regulations).
(g) Utilities (drainage, sewer) — Public utilities (water and sewer) are available to serve the Project. Furthermore, the Applicant has submitted a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan (“PWQMP”), which establishes the Project’s compliance with storm water discharge/water quality requirements. The PWQMP includes site design measures that capture runoff and pollutant transport by minimizing impervious surfaces and maximizes low impact development (“LID”) best management practices (“BMPs”), such as retention and infiltration, biotreatment, and evapotranspiration.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE ONTARIO PLAN: The proposed project is consistent with the principles, goals and policies contained within the Vision, Governance, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan (TOP). More specifically, the goals and policies of TOP that are furthered by the proposed project are as follows:

8. Description of Project: A Tentative Parcel Map (TPM No. 20147), submitted as part of the application, would subdivide the Specific Plan area into three parcels: Parcel 1 would include the Specific Plan area south of Toyota Way, which is already developed with an 807,068 square feet warehouse and distribution facility and no development for this area is proposed under this Project; Parcels 2 and 3 would be the area north of Toyota Way and include the northwest portion of the Project site where new development is proposed. As shown in Figure 4, the proposed Project would involve the construction of two industrial warehouse buildings totaling 168,722 square feet and associated site improvements.

Building A. Building A, located on the northern portion of Project site, would total 118,067 square feet and include 108,067 square feet of warehouse space and 10,000 square feet of office space. The office component of the building would be two stories and would be located in the northwest and northeast corners of the building. Twenty-five truck loading docks would be located along the southern side of the building. A summary of development specifications are outlined in Tables 1 and 2.

Building B. Building B, located on the southern portion of the Project site, would be located south of Building A and would total 50,705 square feet which would include 45,705 square feet of warehouse space with 5,000 square feet of office use. The office component of the building would be two stories and would be located in the northwest corner of the building. Eight truck loading docks would be located along the northern side of the building. A summary of development specifications are outlined in Tables 1 and 2.

Architecture. The proposed buildings would be concrete tilt-up construction with painted and scored accents. The design provides glazing and color variation along the length of the buildings, and would utilize a combination of materials and colors. The main colors of the buildings would be Nebulous White with accents colors of Online (medium) and Steely Gray (dark), with Leisure Blue trimming. The primary window blue reflective glass Solarcool Pacifica is located on the wall panels, the building corners, and office areas. There are trellises and free-standing concrete columns painted with a brushed Stainless color to provide accents to the buildings. The proposed screen walls would match the paint and color variations of the buildings. Conceptual elevations are shown in Figure 5.

The buildings designs would also incorporate the following features:
• Recessed primary entry doors
• Two story glazing
• Punched square first and second floor windows with thin concrete legs in a pattern to create an office look
• Concrete trellis with metal fin with canopy top
• Higher parapets at the primary entry to create hierarchy • Higher parapets at the secondary corners to create additional hierarchy Landscaping. Landscaping is proposed along all streets frontages, along Toyota Way, on the front and side setbacks adjacent to the buildings, and throughout the parking areas. The Project provides landscaping which exceeds the 15 percent landscaping requirement, and includes 29.80 percent for Building A and 35.59 percent for Building B. A landscaping plan is shown in Figure 6.

Drainage. For Building A, runoff from the east portion of the site, along with the northerly landscaped area, would be conveyed through storm drain Line A. Runoff from the west half of the site along with the parking lot along the south of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line B. These storm drain lines would discharge into an underground infiltration chamber system located in the central portion of the site. The underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume, as well as mitigate discharge to existing conditions for the Project site. The system would have a footprint of approximately 54-feet by 160-feet and consist of 60-inch diameter perforated corrugated metal pipes surrounded by gravel. The excess flow generated from higher storm events would be designed to back up in proposed Line A, which would convey and then discharge to the existing private storm drain line in Toyota Way.

For Building B, runoff from north of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line C. Runoff from south of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line D. The Figure 6: CONCEPTUAL LANDSCAPE PLAN
2109
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

proposed storm drain lines would discharge into an underground infiltration chamber system located in the southwest portion of the site. The underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume. The system would have a footprint of approximately 24-feet by 105-feet and consist of 60-inch diameter perforated corrugated metal pipes surrounded by gravel. The excess flow generated from higher storm events would be designed to back up in proposed Line D and release in Line E, which would convey and then discharge to the existing private storm drain line in Toyota Way.

Circulation. There are two driveways off Toyota Way that would provide access to the site. A 35-foot wide driveway, located east of Building A, would be for automobile and truck use. To the south of Building B there would be a 29-foot wide driveway for automobile use only. A 40- foot wide driveway located along Milliken Avenue would provide direct access to the truck courts of both buildings.

Emergency vehicle access would be provided around the two buildings with 24-foot wide drive aisles through the parking areas and truck court. The majority of the automobile parking would be located along the perimeter of the proposed buildings.

Prior Environmental Analysis of Project Site. The Project site is located within the boundary of the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan (Specific Plan), which was adopted in August 1993. The Specific Plan area is Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 0238-121-75, totaling 95.35 gross acres
On January 27, 2010, the Ontario City Council adopted The Ontario Plan (TOP). TOP serves as the framework for the City’s business plan and provides a foundation for the City to operate as a municipal corporation that consists of six distinct components: 1) Vision; 2) Governance Manual; 3) Policy Plan; 4) Council Priorities; 5) Implementation; and 6) Tracking and Feedback.

The Policy Plan component of TOP meets the functional and legal mandate of a General Plan and contains nine elements: Land Use, Housing, Parks and Recreation, Environmental Resources, Community Economics, Safety, Mobility, Community Design and Social Resources.

An Environmental Impact Report was prepared for TOP (TOP FEIR) (SCH # 2008101140) and certified by the City Council on January 27, 2010 and included Mitigation Measures, Findings, and a Statement of Overriding Considerations pursuant to CEQA. TOP FEIR analyzed the direct and physical changes in the environment that would be caused by implementation of TOP, focusing on changes to land use associated with the buildout of the proposed land use plan, and the associated population and employment growth in the City. The Project site was analyzed in TOP FEIR as industrial (See Exhibit A, TOP EIR Figure 1-3, Proposed Land Use Plan) to be consistent with the industrial uses to the north, west, and south of the Project site, Interstate I-15 freeway to the east, and the Project site’s location under the landing path of the Ontario International Airport. The significant unavoidable adverse impacts that were identified in TOP FEIR included: agriculture resources, air quality, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, noise and transportation/traffic.

In 2019, Toyota requested a Specific Plan Amendment to change the zoning of the Project site (identified as Planning Area 1 in the Specific Plan) from Office/Research & Development (Office/R&D) to Industrial Mixed Use, which would allow for both Office/R&D and warehouse/distribution/manufacturing uses on the site. The Specific Plan Amendment also updated the landscape palette to conform to current drought tolerant landscape practices, which apply to any development in the Specific Plan area. Revisions to the Specific Plan also included:
• Any graphic that showed Planning Area 1 zoning as Office/R&D was changed to Industrial Mixed Use.
• Text in the Specific Plan that referred to Office/R&D was revised to reflect the new 2110
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

designation of Industrial Mixed Use.
• Permitted Uses under Industrial Mixed Use was updated to include warehouse and distribution uses.
• Graphic and text references to Rockefeller Drive within the Specific Plan area were changed to reflect the actual street name: Toyota Way.
• The landscape palette and graphic representations of landscape were updated to reflect more drought tolerant materials.
• Specific Design Guidelines for Office/R&D district were retitled to Industrial Mixed Use.

To evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the Specific Plan Amendment, the City prepared an Addendum to TOP FEIR. The Specific Plan Amendment, File No. PSPA 19-004 was approved in 2020 with an environmental Addendum Resolution No. 2020-063, which included the review and approval of three updated technical studies including a Traffic Trip Generation Comparison Letter, Greenhouse Gas Emissions CEQA Thresholds and Screening Tables, and a Cultural Resources Report.

Use of an Addendum. According to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15164, an Addendum to a previously certified EIR may be used if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in Section 15162, requiring the preparation of a subsequent Negative Declaration or EIR, have occurred. The CEQA Guidelines require that a brief explanation be provided to support the findings that no subsequent EIR or Negative Declaration are needed for further discretionary approval. These findings are described below:

1. Required Finding: Substantial changes are not proposed for the project that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new, significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects.

Substantial changes are not proposed by the Project, and Project construction and operation would not require revisions to TOP FEIR. TOP FEIR analyzed the environmental impacts that would be caused by implementation of TOP; focusing on changes to land use associated with the buildout of the proposed land use plan. The Project site is located in the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan area, with a zoning designation of Industrial Mixed Use, which would allow warehouse/distribution uses along with the Office/R&D uses. As described in the Specific Plan and, therefore, analyzed in TOP FEIR, maximum development within Planning Area 1 could be up to 300,000 square feet. The proposed Project would include 168,722 square feet of warehouse use on the site, which would be significantly less development than assumed at the site in TOP FEIR. Therefore, the proposed Project would result in the less development than TOP FEIR analyzed at buildout.

Because the proposed Project would result in reduction in development, compared to the site development assumptions originally included in TOP FEIR analysis, no revisions to TOP FEIR are required. A trip generation comparison was conducted by Ganddini Group, and reviewed by the City’s Traffic Engineering Division, which compares trip generation at the Project site under the original zoning versus the development proposed under the Specific Plan Amendment. As shown below in Table 3, the Specific Plan Amendment zoning would result in 2,528 fewer daily personal car equivalent (PCE) trips compared to the development allowed under the prior zoning included in TOP FEIR. It should also be noted that the proposed Project would include less square footage than analyzed within the Ganddini Group trip generation comparison, so the reduction in trips would likely be greater than what was identified in Table 3.

In addition, all previously adopted mitigation measures of TOP FEIR are applicable to the Project and are incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, City Standard Conditions of Approval, and Development and Performance Standards included in the Specific Plan, would be applicable to the proposed Project. Construction and operation of the proposed Project would not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. The attached Initial Study provides an analysis of the proposed Project and verification that the Project would not cause environmental impacts such that any of the circumstances identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present.

2. Required Finding: Substantial changes have not occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken, that would require major revisions of the previous Environmental Impact Report due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

Substantial changes have not occurred that would require major revisions to TOP FEIR. TOP FEIR evaluated the Project site as Industrial with a maximum FAR of 0.55 (see attached Exhibit “A”- TOP EIR Figure 1-3, Proposed Land Use Plan), consistent with the surrounding industrial properties to the north, west, and south. A Specific Plan Amendment was adopted by the City Council and an Addendum to TOP FEIR was prepared and adopted in 2020. The proposed Project would result in the construction of two warehouse buildings, and associated site improvements, and would be consistent with the Industrial Mixed Use land use designation included in the Specific Plan Amendment. No proposed changes or revisions to TOP FEIR are required. In addition, all previously adopted mitigation measures of TOP FEIR are applicable to the Project and are incorporated herein by reference. Lastly, City Standard Conditions of Approval, and Development and Performance Standards included in the Specific Plan, would be applicable to the proposed Project. The attached Initial Study provides an analysis of the proposed Project and verification that the Project would not cause environmental impacts such that any of the circumstances identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present.

3. Required Finding. No new information has been provided that would indicate that the proposed project would result in one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.

No new information has been provided that would indicate the proposed Project would result in any new significant effects not previously discussed in TOP FEIR. As stated above in Section 2, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Project was undertaken. TOP FEIR evaluated the site as Industrial with a maximum FAR of 0.55 (see attached Exhibit “A”- TOP EIR Figure 1-3, Proposed Land Use Plan), consistent with the surrounding industrial properties to the north, west, and south.

Since adoption of the 1992 General Plan and the 2010 TOP FEIR, the Project site and 2112
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

surrounding area have been planned for and remained industrial use (see attached Exhibit “B”- 1992 General Plan Land Use Map). Therefore, no proposed changes or revisions to TOP FEIR are required. In addition, all previously adopted mitigation measures of TOP FEIR are applicable to the Project and are incorporated herein by reference. Finally, City Standard Conditions of Approval, and Development and Performance Standards included in the Specific Plan, would be applicable to the proposed Project. The attached Initial Study provides an analysis of the proposed Project and verification that the Project would not cause environmental impacts such that any of the circumstances identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present.

CEQA Requirements for an Addendum. If changes to a project or its circumstances occur or new information becomes available after adoption of a negative declaration, the lead agency may: (1) prepare a subsequent EIR if the criteria of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) are met, (2) prepare a subsequent negative declaration, (3) prepare an addendum, or (4) prepare no further documentation. (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(b)). When only minor technical changes or additions to the negative declaration are necessary and none of the conditions described in section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred, CEQA allows the lead agency to prepare and adopt an addendum. (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b).) Under Section 15162, a subsequent EIR or negative declaration is required only when:
1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; 2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the negative declaration due to the involvement of any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or 3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
i. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous negative declaration;
ii. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
iii. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
iv. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

Thus, if the proposed Project does not result in any of the circumstances listed in Section 15162 (i.e., no new or substantially greater significant impacts), the City may properly adopt an addendum to TOP FEIR.
2113
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Conclusion. TOP FEIR, certified by City Council on January 27, 2010, was prepared as a Program EIR in accordance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Rules for the Implementation of CEQA and in accordance with Section 15121(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3). TOP FEIR considered the direct physical changes and reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment associated with implementation of TOP. Consequently, TOP FEIR focused on impacts from changes to land use associated with buildout of the City’s Land Use Plan, and impacts from the resulting population and employment growth in the City. The proposed Project is consistent with the existing uses of the properties and uses within the surrounding areas. As described above, the amount of development associated with the proposed Project would be lower for Planning Area 1 than TOP FEIR analyzed.

Accordingly, and based on the findings and information contained in the previously certified TOP FEIR, the analysis above, the attached Initial Study, and CEQA statute and State CEQA Guidelines, including Sections 15164 and 15162, the proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOPF EIR analyses are necessary, nor is there a need for any additional mitigation measures. Therefore, pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the Ontario City Council hereby adopts this Addendum to TOP FEIR.

9. Project Setting: The Project site is relatively flat with minimal topographic variation, with the majority of the area being developed with the warehouse building, parking lot and landscaping. The vacant area of the project site being proposed for new development is primarily covered in grass. Mature palm trees are planted at various locations along the perimeter of the site with shrubs located along the Toyota Way frontage. Existing sidewalks are located along the Milliken Avenue and Jurupa Street frontages. Street lighting is also located along the perimeter of the site. A city well and structure is south of Jurupa Street immediately adjacent to the Project site; however, this area is not included within the Project site. The Project site is located in a developed, urban area of the City of Ontario, and is surrounded by business park uses, warehouses, and distribution facilities.

The Project site is located within the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan (Specific Plan), which identifies the land use of the site as Industrial Mixed Use and Warehouse/Distribution. As described in the Specific Plan, which was adopted in August 1993, the purpose of the document is to assure the systematic implementation of the goals and policies contained in the Ontario General Plan. The Specific Plan contains development standards for the classifications of land use within the Project site, and addresses transportation and circulation, streetscape and landscape guidelines, and infrastructure and public services.

The proposed new industrial buildings would be located on approximately 13 acres of vacant land in the northwest corner of the Project site and bounded by Jurupa Street to the north, Toyota Way to the south and east, and Milliken Avenue to the west.

An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
☒ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as onsite, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.

3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from the "Earlier Analyses” Section may be cross-referenced).

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration.

Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
2116
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

a. Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

7. Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.

9. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. The significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b. The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. (Note: Example explanations have been provided. Add, remove, or replace as needed.) Issues

EXPLANATION OF ISSUES

1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Discussion of Effects: The Policy Plan (General Plan) does not identify scenic vistas within the City. However, the Policy Plan (Policy CD1-5) requires all major require north-south streets be designed and redeveloped to feature views of the San Gabriel Mountain. The project site is located along Milliken Avenue and Jurupa Street, both principal arterials, as identified in the Functional Roadway Classification Plan (Figure M-2) of the Mobility Element within the Policy Plan.

The proposed Project would allow for the construction of warehouses within an area that has warehouse, business park, and industrial development. While construction of the Project may block some public views to the north, intermittent views of the San Gabriel Mountains would still be available, and the Project would not result in significant adverse environmental impacts with 2124
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

regard to views of the San Gabriel Mountains; no significant adverse impacts on a scenic vista would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, tress, rock outcroppings and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? Discussion of Effects: The City of Ontario is served by three freeways: I-10, I-15, and SR-60. I10 and SR-60 traverse the northern and central portion of the City, respectively, in an east–west direction. I-15 traverses the northeastern portion of the City in a north–south direction. These segments of I-10, I-15, and SR-60 have not been officially designated as scenic highways by the California Department of Transportation. In addition, there are no historic buildings or any scenic resources identified on or in the vicinity of the project site. Therefore, it will not result in adverse environmental impacts.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings?
Discussion of Effects: The project would not degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site or its surroundings. The project site is located in an urban area that is characterized by industrial development and is surrounded by urban land uses. Development of the proposed Project would be required to meet policies of the TOP Community Design Element and zoning designations on the property. Furthermore, the proposed Project would be required to be consistent with the design guidelines and development standards of the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan. The Project site is zoned for Industrial Mixed Use, and the Project would not conflict with regulations governing scenic quality.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Discussion of Effects: New lighting will be introduced to the site with the development of the project. Pursuant to the requirements of the City’s Development Code, project on-site lighting will be shielded, diffused or indirect, to avoid glare to pedestrians or motorists. In addition, lighting fixtures will be selected and located to confine the area of illumination to within the project site and minimize light spillage.

Furthermore, as required by the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan, a Master Lighting Plan would be submitted to the City of Ontario for review and approval. The Master Plan would contain criteria and standards governing lighting along Toyota Way, lighting within parking lots and access drives, and lighting improvements for pedestrian walkways. The Master Plan would also establish minimum illumination criteria consistent with City of Ontario policies on exterior illumination. Site lighting would be directed inward and downward, to avoid spillover of light and glare onto the adjacent freeway, nearby public streets or onto adjacent properties. 2125
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Additionally, the Project would be required to adhere to the following performance standard included in the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan:

5.11.3 Light and Glare: No lighting fixture shall create any illumination which exceeds five foot candles on adjacent parcels of land, whether such illumination is direct or indirect.

Glare levels shall be measured with a photoelectric photometer following standard spectral luminous efficiency curves adopted by the International Commission of Illumination.

Site lighting plans are subject to review by the Planning Department and Ontario Police Department prior to issuance of building permits (pursuant to the City’s Building Security Ordinance); no significant adverse impacts would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

2. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST 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 prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state’s inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project:
a. Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? Discussion of Effects: The proposed development site is presently vacant and does not contain any agricultural uses. Further, the site is identified as Urban and Built-up Land on the map prepared by the California Resources Agency, pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. As a result, no adverse environmental impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? Discussion of Effects: The project site is not zoned for agricultural use. The project site zoned is Industrial Mixed Use (Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan). The proposed project is consistent with the development standards and allowed land uses of the proposed zone.

Furthermore, there is no Williamson Act contract in effect on the subject site. Therefore, no impacts to agricultural uses are anticipated, nor will there be any conflict with existing or Williamson Act contracts.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 2126
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g)?
Discussion of Effects: Impacts to forest land were not analyzed in TOP FEIR, but this topic has since been included as part of the revisions to the State CEQA Guidelines. The Project site is zoned Industrial Mixed Use. Development of the proposed Project would not result in the rezoning of forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production as those land use designations do not exist within the City of Ontario. No impacts to forest or timberland would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not conflict with existing zoning or cause rezoning of forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. No impact would occur and no further analysis of impacts to forest resources or timberland is required in TOP FEIR; no changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? Discussion of Effects: There is currently no land in the City of Ontario that qualifies as forest land as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g). Neither The Ontario Plan nor the City’s Zoning Code provide designations for forest land. Consequently, the proposed project would not result in the loss or conversion of forest land.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in a loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. No impact would occur and no further analysis of impacts to forest resources is required in TOP FEIR; no changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary.
e. Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in loss of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
Discussion of Effects: Construction of the proposed Project would not result in changes to the existing environment that would result in the loss of farmland. While conversion of farmland increases the potential for adjacent areas to also be converted from farmland to urban uses, there are no agricultural uses occurring onsite or in the immediate vicinity of the Project site; the Project does not directly or indirectly result in conversion of farmland. No new cumulative impacts beyond those identified in the Certified TOP FEIR would result from Project construction. As a result, the Project would not result in loss of Farmland to non-agricultural use.

Additionally, there is currently no land in the City of Ontario that qualifies as forest land as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g). Neither TOP nor the City’s Zoning Code provide designations for forest land. The proposed Project would not result in the conversion of forest land to non-forest use.

Mitigation Required: No additional mitigation is required. The Project will not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

3. AIR QUALITY. Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management 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? Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, TOP would not be consistent with the South 2127
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Coast Air Quality Management District’s Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) because air pollutant emissions associated with buildout of the City of Ontario would cumulatively contribute to the nonattainment designations in the South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB). Furthermore, buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would exceed estimates of population, employment, and VMT for Ontario; these emissions are not included in the regional emissions inventory for the SoCAB used for the analysis within TOP FEIR. Therefore TOP was considered inconsistent with the AQMP resulting in a significant unavoidable impact.

Because the proposed Project would result in a decrease in the amount of development than was anticipated at the Project site under TOP FEIR, construction and operation of the proposed Project would not increase the identified significant air quality impact associated with implementation of TOP
Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, both construction and operational air quality impacts associated with implementation of TOP Land Use Plan were deemed to be significant.

Mitigation measures were identified, but the impacts were still considered significant and unavoidable. These mitigation measures are applicable to the proposed Project, and are included below:
3-1: The City of Ontario Building Department shall require that all new construction projects incorporate all feasible mitigation measures to reduce air quality emissions. Potential measures shall be incorporated as conditions of approval for a project and may include:
• Requiring fugitive dust control measures that exceed South Coast Air Quality Management District’s Rule 403, such as:
• Requiring use of nontoxic soil stabilizers to reduce wind erosion. • Applying water every four hours to active soil-disturbing activities. • Tarping and/or maintaining a minimum of 24 inches of freeboard on trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials.
• Using construction equipment rated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as having Tier 3 or higher exhaust emission limits. • Ensuring construction equipment is properly serviced and maintained to the manufacturer’s standards.
• Limiting nonessential idling of construction equipment to no more than five consecutive minutes.
• Using Super-Compliant VOC paints for coating of architectural surfaces whenever possible. A list of Super-Compliant architectural coating manufactures can be found on the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s website at:
http://www.aqmd.gov/prdas/brochures/Super-Compliant_AIM.pdf. 3-2: The City of Ontario shall evaluate new development proposals within the City and require all developments to include access or linkages to alternative modes of transportation, such as transit stops, bike paths, and/or pedestrian paths (e.g., sidewalks).

Because the proposed Project would result in a decrease in the amount of development anticipated at the Project site compared to what was assumed in TOP FEIR, construction and 2128
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

operation of the proposed Project would not increase the anticipated air quality impacts identified within TOP FEIR.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary. c. Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, eight high vehicle count intersections were evaluated for CO emissions, and it was determined that sensitive receptors in the area would not be significantly adversely affected by CO emissions generated at buildout of the Land Use Plan.

Localized air quality impacts related to mobile-source emissions were identified as being less than significant.

In addition, as noted in TOP FEIR, the California Air Resource Board (CARB) developed and approved the Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective in May 2005 to address the siting of sensitive land uses in the vicinity of freeways, distribution centers, rail yards, ports, refineries, chrome-plating facilities, dry cleaners, and gasoline-dispensing facilities. This guidance document was developed to assess compatibility and associated health risks when placing sensitive receptors near existing pollution sources.

As detailed in TOP FEIR Table 5.3-9, CARB provides the following recommendations for siting new sensitive land uses for distributions centers:
• Avoid siting new sensitive land uses within 1,000 feet of a distribution center (that accommodates more than 100 trucks per day, more than 40 trucks with operating transport refrigeration units [TRUs] per day, or where TRU unit operations exceed 300 hours per week).
• Take into account the configuration of existing distribution centers and avoid locating residences and other sensitive land uses near entry and exit points.

The Project site is located within an industrial area, and is not located in close proximity to any sensitive receptors.

The proposed warehouse would not be located within 1,000 feet of any sensitive receptor, and is not anticipated to generate 100 truck trips per day; the trip generation analysis provided by Ganddini Group estimated 61 truck trips per day. The proposed Project would not place sensitive receptors near existing pollution sources. Therefore, impacts related to the exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations would not occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors adversely affecting a substantial number of people)?
Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, construction activity would require the operation of equipment that may generate exhaust from either gasoline or diesel fuel.

Construction and development would also require the application of paints and the paving of roads, which could generate odors from materials such as paints and asphalt. As these odors are short-term in nature and quickly disperse into the atmosphere, this is not considered significant.

Additionally, commercial, industrial, and residential projects, associated with implantation of TOP are also required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 to prevent occurrence of public nuisances.

As a result, Project-related odors are required to avoid the creation of a public nuisance. Odorous emissions attributable to implementation of TOP are not considered a significant adverse impact to air quality.
2129
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a. Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Discussion of Effects: The Project site is within an urbanized area, characterized by industrial development, and lacks native habitat. However, the United States Department of Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) has identified the Project vicinity as an area where the endangered Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (Rhaphiomidas terminates abdominalis) is known to currently or to have at one time existed. Because the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly requires a specific habitat type, this species requires site specific considerations, protection and enhancement of its limited habitat type, and species specific management to maintain the habitat and populations. To avoid potential impacts to this species, the proposed Project conducted pre-construction surveys for Delhi Sands flower-loving fly to determine if the species or its habitat are currently located on the Project site.

The pre-construction surveys of the site determined that there is currently no extant habitat for the species nor were any individuals of the species observed on the Project site. Therefore, impacts to species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species will not occur as a result of the proposed Project.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Discussion of Effects: The Project site is within an urbanized area and lacks native habitat.

According to the United States National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), no riparian habitat is found within the Project site. Therefore, no significant impact would occur to riparian or other sensitive natural communities as a result of construction and operation of the proposed Project.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? Discussion of Effects: The Project site is within an urbanized area and lacks any wetlands.

According to the United States National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), no wetlands occur within the Project site; no significant wetlands impact would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. 2130
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

d. Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, no regional wildlife movement corridors have been identified in the City, and most of the City is ill-suited for the purposes of wildlife movement. Furthermore, the Project site is within an urban area with industrial uses and is bounded on all sides by development. As a result, there are no wildlife corridors connecting this site to other areas. Therefore, no significant wildlife corridor impacts would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. e. Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP EIR, while the City of Ontario does not have any municipal ordinances for the protection of trees on private property, Municipal Code Sections 10-

1.25 and 10-2.05 prohibit the damaging or destruction of trees on City property, except under conditions specified in the Municipal Code. Additionally, TOP Policy ER5-2 notes that the City will comply with state and federal regulations regarding protected species. The proposed Project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protection biological resources.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. f. Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
Discussion of Effects: The site is not part of an adopted HCP, NCCP or other approved habitat conservation plan. As a result, no adverse environmental impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5?
Discussion of Effects: The Project site is vacant and does not contain any buildings or structures constructed more than 50 years ago (generally, structures need to be at least 50 years or older to be considered historical resources). As such, there are no structures onsite eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources.

A Cultural Resources Records Search was conducted on July 16, 2019 at the California Historic Resource Inventory System at the South Central Coastal Information Center (CHRISSCCIC). The records search indicated that there are no cultural resources (prehistoric, historic, or built environments) recorded within the Project boundaries. There was one historic resource (CASBR-008857H) located within a one-half mile radius of the Project site. The historic resource is a section of the Southern California Edison Company’s Lugo-Mira No. 1 500kv Transmission Line. The 2131
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

transmission line was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Place (NRHP) under Criteria A and C, and therefore, is eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources. However, this historic resource would not be impacted (directly or indirectly) by the proposed Project. Therefore, no significant impacts would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, a records review at the Archaeological Information Center at San Bernardino County Museum (SBCM) indicated no known prehistoric archaeological resources in the City of Ontario; however, only about 10 percent of the City has been adequately surveyed for prehistoric or historic archaeology. Figure 5.5-2 of TOP FEIR shows that the Project site has not been surveyed for archeological resources. The CHRIS-SCCIC records search, noted in subsection “a” above, did not identify prehistoric, historic, or historic built environments within or adjacent to the Project boundaries. Additionally, an NAHC Sacred Lands File search failed to indicate archaeological resources or artifacts associated with Tribal Cultural Resources (TCRs) within the Project site.

The Project site has been highly disturbed by modern human activities including agricultural use from the 1940’s through the 1960’s and the development and construction of the Toyota Motors North American Parts Center and supporting infrastructure that would have displaced potential surface and subsurface archaeological resources. The proposed Project would not impact cultural (prehistoric, historic, or historic built environments) resources and no mitigation measures are recommended.

While no adverse impacts to archeological resources are anticipated at the site due to its urbanized nature, the following City Standard Conditions of Approval would be applied should unanticipated archaeological resources be discovered during excavation or construction:

5.2 If any archeological or paleontological resources are found during Project grading, excavation, or construction, the area shall not be disturbed until the significance of the resource is determined. If determined to be significant, the resource shall be recovered by a qualified archeologist or paleontologist consistent with current standards and guidelines, or other appropriate measures implemented.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries? Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project is located in an area that has been previously disturbed by human activity. No known religious or sacred sites exist within the Project area, and human remains are not expected to be encountered during construction activities. However, in the unlikely event that human remains are discovered, existing regulations, including the California Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, would afford protection for human remains discovered during development activities. Furthermore, the following City Standard Conditions of Approval would be applied in the event of unanticipated discoveries of human remains are identified during excavation and construction activities:
2132
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

5.1 If human remains are found during Project grading, excavation, or construction activities, the area shall not be disturbed until any required investigation is completed by the County Coroner and/or Native American consultation has been completed (if deemed applicable).

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

6. ENERGY. Would the project:
a. Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Discussion of Effects: Energy was not analyzed in TOP FEIR, but was included as part of the 2019 revisions to the State CEQA Guidelines. Implementation of the proposed Project would increase the demand for electricity and natural gas at the Project site and gasoline consumption in the region during construction and operation. A detailed discussion is provided below:

Electricity
Construction. Temporary electric power would be required for lighting and electronic equipment (e.g., computers) located in trailers used by the construction crew. However, the electricity used for such activities would be temporary and would have a negligible contribution to the Project’s overall energy consumption.

Operation. Operation of the proposed Project would require electricity for multiple purposes, such as: building heating and cooling, lighting, appliances, and electronics. Although electricity consumption would increase at the site under implementation of the proposed Project, the building envelope, HVAC, lighting, and other systems, would be designed to maximize energy performance. The Project would also be subject to statewide mandatory energy requirements as outlined in the CALGreen Code. In addition, the Project would implement additional measures, as detailed in the GHG reduction measures screening table, which would further reduce electricity consumption. For these reasons, the electricity that would be consumed by the Project is not considered to be inefficient or wasteful, and impacts would be less than significant.

Natural Gas
Construction. Natural gas consumption is not anticipated during construction of the Project. Fuels used for construction would generally consists of diesel and gasoline, which are discussed in the next subsection. Any amounts of natural gas that may be consumed during Project construction would be nominal and would have a negligible contribution to the Project’s overall energy consumption.

Operational. The operational phase of the proposed Project would require natural gas consumption for various purposes, such as building heating and cooling. While natural gas consumption would increase at the site with construction of the proposed Project, the building envelope, HVAC, lighting, and other systems, would be designed to maximize energy performance. The Project would be subject to statewide mandatory energy requirements as outlined in the CALGreen Code. For these reasons, the natural gas that would be consumed by the Project is not considered to be inefficient or wasteful, and impacts would be less than significant.
2133
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Diesel and Gasoline Fuel
Construction. Diesel and gasoline fuels, also referred to as petroleum in this subsection, would be consumed throughout construction of the Proposed Project. Fuel consumed by construction equipment would be the primary energy resource consumed over the course of construction, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) associated with the transportation of construction materials (e.g., deliveries to the site) and worker trips to and from the site would also result in petroleum consumption. Whereas on-site, heavy-duty construction equipment and delivery trucks would predominantly use diesel fuel, construction workers would generally rely on gasolinepowered vehicles. Construction-related vehicles would be required to comply with CARB’s Airborne Toxic Control Measures, which restricts heavy-duty diesel vehicle idling to five minutes.

Since petroleum use during construction would be temporary and required to conduct development activities, it would not be wasteful or inefficient, and impacts would be less than significant.

Operational. Fuel consumption associated with development pursuant to the proposed Project’s operational phase would primarily be attributable to workers commuting to and from the Project and the operation of large, diesel-powered trucks (e.g., semi-trucks) needed to transport goods. Over the lifetime of the Project, the fuel efficiency of the vehicles being used by the employees is expected to increase. As such, the amount of petroleum consumed as a result of vehicular trips to and from the Project site during operation is anticipated to decrease over time. Operation of the Project is expected to decrease the amount of petroleum it consumes in the future due to advances in fuel economy. Although the proposed Project would increase petroleum use in the region during construction and operation, the use would be a small fraction of the statewide use and, due to efficiency increases, would diminish over time. As such, petroleum consumption associated with the Project would not be considered inefficient or wasteful and would result in a less-than-significant impact.

Mitigation: The Project would not result in any new significant impacts. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary.
b. Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan adopted for the purposes of increasing the amount of renewable energy or energy efficiency. The California Title 24 Building Code contains energy efficiency standards for nonresidential buildings. These standards address electricity and natural gas efficiency in lighting, water, heating, and air conditioning, as well as the effects of the building envelope (e.g., windows, doors, walls and rooves, etc.) on energy consumption. As described above, the Project would be required to comply with the 2019 CALGreen standards, and would implement additional measures identified in the City’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures Screening Threshold Table for Commercial and Industrial Development. Given the above, the proposed Project would not conflict with nor obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency. This impact would be less than significant.

Mitigation: The Project would not result in any new significant impacts. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary.

7. GEOLOGY & SOILS. Would the project:
a. Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other 2134
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication

42. Discussion of Effects: There are no active faults known on the site and the project site is located outside the Fault Rapture Hazard Zone (formerly Alquist-Priolo Zone). The Ontario Plan FEIR (Section 5.7/Figure 5.7-2) identifies eight active or potentially active fault zones near the City.

Given that the closest fault zone is located more than ten miles from the project site, fault rupture within the project area is not likely. All development will comply with the Uniform Building Code seismic design standards to reduce geologic hazard susceptibility. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
Discussion of Effects: There are no active faults known on the site and the project site is located outside the Fault Rapture Hazard Zone (formerly Alquist-Priolo Zone). The Land Use Plan (Figure LU-6) of the Policy Plan (General Plan) FEIR (Section 5.7/Figure 5.7-2) identifies eight active or potentially active fault zones near the City. The closest fault zone is located more than ten miles from the project site. The proximity of the site to the active faults will result in ground shaking during moderate to severe seismic events. All construction will be in compliance with the California Building Code, the Ontario Municipal Code, The Ontario Plan and all other ordinances adopted by the City related to construction and safety. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Discussion of Effects: As identified in the TOP FEIR (Section 5.7), groundwater saturation of sediments is required for earthquake induced liquefaction. In general, groundwater depths shallower than 10 feet to the surface can cause the highest liquefaction susceptibility. Depth to ground water at the project site during the winter months is estimated to be between 250 to 450 feet below ground surface. Therefore, the liquefaction potential within the project area is minimal.

Implementation of The Ontario Plan strategies, Uniform Building Code and Ontario Municipal code would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
iv. Landslides?
Discussion of Effects: The project would not expose people or structures to potential adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving landslides because the relatively flat topography of the project site (less than 2 percent slope across the city) makes the chance of landslides remote. Implementation of The Ontario Plan strategies, Uniform Building Code and Ontario Municipal Code would reduce impacts to a less than significant level. 2135
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
b. Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Discussion of Effects: Grading increases the potential for erosion by removing protective vegetation, changing natural drainage patterns, and constructing slopes. However, the following City Standard Conditions of Approval would reduce the potential for substantial erosion:

3.67 Prior to Grading Plan approval and the issuance of a grading permit, an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Engineering Department. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall specifically identify the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented on the Project during construction, to reduce the discharge of sediment and other pollutants into the City's storm drain system.

Compliance with the California Building Code, review of grading plans, and approval and implementation of the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan by the Engineering Department would ensure no significant erosion impacts occur. Implementation of a NPDES program, the Environmental Resource Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) strategies, California Building Code, and Ontario Municipal code would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
Discussion of Effects: Please see Section 7.a.iii for a discussion of liquefaction and Section

7.a.iv for a discussion of landslides.

Lateral spreading is a form of horizontal displacement of soil toward an open channel or other “free” face, such as an excavation boundary. Lateral spreading may also occur where open banks and unsupported cut slopes provide a free face. Ground subsidence is the gradual settling or sinking of the ground surface with little or no horizontal movement, and most often results from human activities such as the extraction of oil, gas, or groundwater. Effects of subsidence include fissures, sinkholes, depressions, and disruption of surface drainage.

As described in TOP FEIR, projects developed pursuant to TOP would be required to meet the most current seismic safety requirements in the California Building Code (CBC). Chapter 16 of the CBC contains requirements for design and construction of structures to resist loads, including earthquake loads. Chapter 18 contains requirements for excavation, grading, and fill; loadbearing values of soils; and foundations, footings, and piles. Compliance with those requirements would ensure that there would not be substantial impacts related to ground shaking, liquefaction, or seismic settlement. TOP Policy S1-1 would require that all new habitable structures be designed in accordance with the most recent Building Code adopted by the City, including provisions regarding lateral forces and grading. Implementation of TOP strategies, California Building Code, and Ontario Municipal code would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and 2136
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? Discussion of Effects: Soils containing expansive clay minerals can shrink or swell substantially as the moisture content decreases or increases. Structures built on these soils may experience shifting, cracking, and breaking damage as soils shrink and subside or expand.

As described in TOP FEIR, expansive soils are likely in the southern parts of the City, where there are silts, sandy silts, and silty clays. Near-surface soils in the northern and central parts of the City are primarily granular, that is, silty sand, sand, and gravel; such sediments are usually nonexpansive or have very low expansion potential. Projects in the southern part of the City considered for approval under TOP could expose persons or structures to potentially significant hazards from expansive soils. However, compliance with the CBC and review of grading plans for individual projects by the City Engineer would ensure no significant impacts would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. e. Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? Discussion of Effects: The Project area is served by the local sewer system and the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems is not proposed.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. f. Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
g.

Discussion of Effects: A paleontological resources records search prepared for the Project site commissioned through the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLAC) did not identify previously recorded vertebrate fossil localities or unique geological features within the Project Site or within a one-mile radius. There are two previously recorded fossil localities (LACM 7811: Masticophis and LACM 1207: Odocoileus) located within a five-mile radius of the Project site that were discovered within the same sedimentary deposits at depths that extends into the Project area. The results of the literature review and the search at the NHMLAC indicated that the Project site has surficial sediments composed of younger Quaternary Alluvium, derived as alluvial fan deposits from the San Gabriel Mountains to the north or as dune sands. These deposits typically do not contain significant vertebrate fossils, at least in the uppermost layers, but they may be underlain by older sedimentary materials at estimated depths greater than 9 feet. Therefore, MIG concluded that the proposed Project would not result in a significant impact to paleontological resources or unique geological features, and no mitigation measures are recommended.

While no paleontological resources are anticipated on the Project site, the following City Standard Conditions of Approval would be applied should unanticipated paleontological resources be uncovered during excavation and construction activities:

5.2: If any archeological or paleontological resources are found during Project grading, excavation, or construction, the area shall not be disturbed until the significance of the resource is determined. If determined to be significant, the resource shall be recovered by 2137
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

a qualified archeologist or paleontologist consistent with current standards and guidelines, or other appropriate measures implemented.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

8. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Would the project:
a. Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?
Discussion of Effects: The impact of buildout of The Ontario Plan on the environment due to the emission of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) was analyzed in the Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the Policy Plan (General Plan). According to the EIR, this impact would be significant and unavoidable. (Re-circulated Portions of the Ontario Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report, p. 2-118.) This EIR was certified by the City on January 27, 2010, at which time a statement of overriding considerations was also adopted for The Ontario Plan’s significant and unavoidable impacts, including that concerning the emission of greenhouse gases.

The Project applicant has prepared a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures Screening Threshold Table for Commercial and Industrial Development, which identifies the GHG reduction measures that have been incorporated into the Project. As noted in the instructions for completing the table, the Screening Table assigns points for each option incorporated into a project as mitigation or a project design feature. The point values correspond to the minimum emissions reduction expected from each feature. The menu of features allows maximum flexibility and options for how development projects can implement the GHG reduction measures. The point levels are based upon improvements compared to 2008 emission levels of efficiency. Projects that garner at least 100 points will be consistent with the reduction quantities anticipated in the City's CAP. As such, those projects that garner a total of 100 points or greater would not require quantification of project specific GHG emissions. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines, such projects would be determined to have a less than significant individual and cumulative impact for GHG emissions
As shown in the Project GHG Reduction Measures Screening Table, the Project garners a total of 103 points, and is therefore consistent with the reduction quantities anticipated in the City’s CAP.

Therefore, quantification of Project-specific GHG emissions is not required and the Project GHG impact is considered less than significant. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

Mitigation Required: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
b. Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed project is consistent with The Ontario Plan Goal ER 4 of improving air quality by, among other things, implementation of Policy ER4-3, regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with regional, state and federal regulations.

In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the policies outlined in Section 5.6.4 of the Environmental Impact Report for The Ontario Plan, which aims to reduce the City’s contribution of greenhouse gas emissions at build-out by fifteen (15%), because the project is upholding the applicable City’s adopted mitigation measures as represented in 6-1 through 6-6. Therefore, the 2138
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

proposed project does not conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.

As described in more detail in Section 8.a (above), the proposed Project includes enough GHG reduction features to be considered consistent with the reduction quantities anticipated in the City’s Climate Action Plan. Construction and operation of the proposed Project would not result in a significant conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation developed to reduce GHG emissions
Mitigation Required: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

9. HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project:
a. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
Discussion of Effects: Construction of the proposed Project would likely involve the use and disposal of chemical agents, solvents, paints, and other hazardous materials associated with construction activities. The amount of these chemicals typically present during construction would be limited, would be in compliance with existing government regulations, and would not be considered a significant hazard.

It is possible that activities associated with operation of the proposed Project would involve transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials. As described in TOP FEIR, current federal and state regulations, City ordinances, and TOP policies would regulate the handling of hazardous substances to reduce potential releases; exposure; and risks of transporting, storing, treating, and disposing of hazardous materials and wastes. Hazardous waste transport, use, and/or disposal that would occur would be less than significant with adherence to the existing regulations.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Discussion of Effects: Operation of the proposed Project may involve the transport, storage, use or disposal of hazardous materials. With existing federal, State and local regulation and oversight of hazardous materials, the risk to the public or the environment from upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials would be a less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project is a warehouse facility, and is not anticipated to generate or emit hazardous emissions or materials as part of its regular operations. It is possible that the facility could store hazardous materials. However, as described in TOP FEIR, current federal 2139
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

and state regulations, City ordinances, and TOP policies would regulate the handling of hazardous substances to reduce potential releases; exposure; and risks of transporting, storing, treating, and disposing of hazardous materials and wastes. Any hazardous waste transport, use, and/or disposal that would occur with operation of the Project would be less than significant with adherence to the existing regulations.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed project site is not listed on the hazardous materials site compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Therefore, the project would not create a hazard to the public or the environment and no impact is anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. e. For a project located within the safety zone of the airport land use compatibility plan for ONT or Chino Airports, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project was reviewed and found to be located within the Airport Influence Area of Ontario International Airport (ONT). An airport influence area includes areas in which current or future airport-related safety, noise, airspace protection, or overflight factors may significantly affect land uses or necessitate restrictions on those uses. The entirety of the City of Ontario is within the ONT influence area. The Project site is located within the ONT airport influence area but outside the airport safety zones. The Project site lies outside the boundaries of the Chino Airport Influence Area.

The Project was evaluated and found to be consistent with the policies and criteria of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) for ONT. The Project is required to file and record an Avigation Easement with the Ontario International Airport Authority prior to obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy. Any potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? Discussion of Effects: The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip.

Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: None required.
g. Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project does not include any changes to surrounding 2140
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

roadways. The City's Safety Element, as included within TOP, includes policies and procedures to be administered in the event of a disaster. TOP seeks interdepartmental and inter-jurisdictional coordination and collaboration to be prepared for, respond to, and recover from every day and disaster emergencies. In addition, the proposed Project would comply with the requirements of the Ontario Fire Department and all City requirements for fire and other emergency access.

Because the Project will comply with all applicable City codes, any impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. h. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
Discussion of Effects: The Project site is located within an urban industrial area and does not include any changes to roadways. Additionally, according to CalFire mapping, the Project site is not located in or near a State Responsibility Area (SRA), nor is it located in or near lands identified as a Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ). The closest FHSZ is approximately three miles from the Project site. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR; no significant wildland fire impact would occur.

10. HYDROLOGY & WATER QUALITY. Would the project:
a. Violate any other water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or potential for discharge of storm water pollutants from areas of material storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment maintenance (including washing), waste handling, hazardous materials handling or storage, delivery areas or loading docks, or other outdoor work areas? Discussion of Effects: The project site is served by City water and sewer service and will not affect water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. Discharge of storm water pollutants from areas of materials storage, vehicle or equipment fueling, vehicle or equipment maintenance (including washing, waste handling, hazardous materials handling or storage, delivery areas or loading docks, or other outdoor work) areas could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids, trash and debris, oil and grease, organic compounds, pesticides, nutrients, heavy metals and bacteria pathogens in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is required to comply with the statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Industrial Activities Stormwater Permit, the San Bernardino County Area-Wide Urban Runoff Permit (MS4 permit) and the City of Ontario’s Municipal Code (Title 6, Chapter 6 (Stormwater Drainage System)). This would reduce any impacts to below a level of significance.

Additionally, the Project applicant would be required to submit a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), which would establish the site’s compliance with storm water discharge and water quality management requirements. The WQMP will include site design measures that capture runoff and pollutant transport by minimizing impervious surfaces and maximizes low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs), such as retention and infiltration, biotreatment and evapotranspiration. Furthermore, prior to Grading Plan approval and the issuance of a grading permit, an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must be approved by the Engineering Department. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will specifically identify the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented on the Project during construction, to 2141
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

reduce the discharge of sediment and other pollutants into the City's storm drain system.

Adherence to federal and state regulations, City ordinances, and TOP policies would result in a less-than-significant impact.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)?
Discussion of Effects: No increases in the current amount of water flow to the project site are anticipated, and the proposed project will not deplete groundwater supplies, nor will it interfere with recharge. The water use associated with the proposed use of the property will be negligible. The development of the site will require the grading of the site and excavation is expected to be less than three feet and would not affect the existing aquifer, estimated to be about 230 to 250 feet below the ground surface.

As described in the City’s Urban Water Management Plan, the Chino Basin is the City’s main source of water supply. Chino Basin encompasses about 235 square miles of the upper Santa Ana River watershed and lies within portions of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties. The Chino Basin has approximately 5 to 7 million acre feet of water in storage, and an estimated 1 million acre‐feet of additional unused storage capacity.

TOP FEIR assumed development on the Project site would be an industrial use. The proposed Project includes warehouse uses, which would generally have a lower water demand than Office/Research & Development (Office/R&D), which was the prior zoning of the Project site.

Therefore, this would result in a decrease in demand on groundwater supplies compared to what was evaluated within the TOP FEIR.

While construction of the proposed Project would result in an increase in impervious surfaces, which would decrease the amount of groundwater recharge that occurs on the Project site, given the total size of the Chino Basin, this decrease in pervious surface would not be considered to interfere substantially with groundwater recharge. This potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site or volume of storm water runoff to cause environmental harm or potential for significant increases in erosion of the project site or surrounding areas? Discussion of Effects: The Project site is currently undeveloped, and construction of the proposed Project would change the existing drainage pattern of the Project site. However, the Project applicant would be required to submit an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan which would be approved by the Engineering Department. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan would specifically identify the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would be implemented on the Project site during construction to reduce the discharge of sediment and other pollutants into the City's storm drain system. Furthermore, stormwater generated by the Project would be discharged 2142
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

in compliance with the statewide NPDES Permit and San Bernardino County MS4 permit requirements. Implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), the BMPs included in the SWPPP, and an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan would reduce any impacts to below a level of significance. No streams or streambeds are present on the site.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or off-site or potential for significant changes in the flow velocity or volume of storm water runoff to cause environmental harm? Discussion of Effects: For Building A, runoff from the east portion of the site, along with the northerly landscaped area, would be conveyed through storm drain Line A. Runoff from the west half of the site along with the parking lot to the south of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line B. These storm drain lines would discharge into an underground infiltration chamber system located in the central portion of the site. The underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume, as well as mitigate discharge to existing conditions for the project site. The system would have a footprint of approximately 54-feet by 160-feet and consist of 60-inch diameter perforated corrugated metal pipes surrounded by gravel. The excess flow generated from higher storm events would be designed to back up in proposed Line A, which would convey and then discharge to the existing private storm drain line in Toyota Way.

For Building B, runoff from the area to the north of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line C. Runoff from the area to the south of the site would be conveyed through storm drain Line D. The proposed storm drain lines would discharge into an underground infiltration chamber system located in the southwest portion of the site. The underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume. The system would have a footprint of approximately 24-feet by 105-feet and consist of 60-inch diameter perforated corrugated metal pipes surrounded by gravel. The excess flow generated from higher storm events would be designed to back up in proposed Line D and release in Line E, which would convey and then discharge to the existing private storm drain line in Toyota Way. On- or off-site flooding impacts would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. e. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff (a&b) during construction and/or post-construction activity?
Discussion of Effects: Please see Section 10.b.ii for a discussion of on-site storm drainage facilities. The proposed Project’s underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume as well as mitigate discharge to existing conditions for the Project site.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. f. Otherwise substantially degrade water quality or potential for discharge of storm water to 2143
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

affect the beneficial uses of receiving water?
Discussion of Effects: Activities associated with the construction period, could result in a temporary increase in the amount of suspended solids in surface flows during a concurrent storm event, thus resulting in surface water quality impacts. The site is required to comply with the statewide NPDES General Construction Permit and the City of Ontario’s Municipal Code (Title 6, Chapter 6 (Stormwater Drainage System)) to minimize water pollution. Thus it is anticipated that there is no potential for discharges of stormwater during construction that will affect the beneficial uses of the receiving waters. However, with the General Construction Permit requirement and implementation of the policies in The Ontario Plan, any impacts associated with the project would be less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. g. Place housing within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? Discussion of Effects: The project site is not located within a 100-year flood hazard area as mapped on a Federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. h. Place within a 100-year flood hazard area, structures that would impede or redirect flood flows?
Discussion of Effects: As identified in the Safety Element (Exhibit S-2) of the Policy Plan (General Plan), the site lies outside of the 100-year flood hazard area. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. i. Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? Discussion of Effects: As identified in the Safety Element (Exhibit S-2) of The Ontario Plan, the site lies outside of the 100-year flood hazard area. No levees or dams are located near the project site. Therefore, no adverse impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. j. Expose people or structures to inundation by seiche, tsunami or mudflow? Discussion of Effects: Impacts associated with flooding are primarily related to the construction or placement of structures in areas prone to flooding including within an unprotected 100-year flood zone, and in areas susceptible to high tides, tsunamis, seiches, mudflows or sea level rise. According to FEMA mapping, the Project site is not located in a known floodplain. No 2144
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

wetlands have been mapped on the Project site according to the NWI. The Project site is located over 60 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and is not located in a mapped tsunami zone. Additionally, the Project site is not next to a large body of water. Therefore, the Project would not have a significant risk of flood hazard, tsunami, seiche zones.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

11. LAND USE & PLANNING. Would the project:
a. Physically divide an established community?
Discussion of Effects: The physical division of an established community typically refers to the construction of a physical feature (such as an interstate highway or railroad tracks) or removal of a means of access (such as a local road or bridge) that would impair mobility within an existing community or between a community and outlying area. The Project site is located in an area that is currently developed with urban land uses. This Project would be of similar design and size to surrounding development, and would not change any public roadways. The proposed Project would not physically divide an established community.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Conflict with applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of agencies with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to general plan, airport land use compatibility plan, specific plan, or development code) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigation an environmental effect?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed project is consistent with The Ontario Plan and does not interfere with any policies for environmental protection. As such, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan?
Discussion of Effects: There are no adopted habitat conservation plans in the project area.

As such no conflicts or impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: None required.

12. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a. Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
Discussion of Effects: As shown in Figure 5.11-1 of TOP FEIR, the Project site is located within an area identified as Mineral Resource Zone 3 (MRZ-3). As described in TOP FEIR, a designation of MRZ-3 indicates the significance of mineral deposits cannot be determined from available data.

The Project site is located within a mostly developed area surrounded by urban land uses 2145
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

and, as noted in TOP FEIR, development in a MRZ-3 would not result in significant impacts as mineral resources of statewide or local importance are not identified in the California Geological Survey PC maps. Therefore, this potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? Discussion of Effects: The Project site is not identified as a locally important mineral resource recovery site on a local general plan, specific plan, or other land use plan, and there are no known mineral resources on the Project site. No mineral resource impacts would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

13. NOISE. Would the project result in:
a. Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Discussion of Effects: Construction Noise. As described in TOP FEIR, there are two types of short-term noise impacts could occur during construction. First, the transport of workers and movement of materials to and from the site could incrementally increase noise levels along local access roads. However, the amount of construction traffic is typically small in relation to the total daily traffic volumes on those roadway segments.

The second type of short-term noise impact is related to demolition, site preparation, grading, and/or physical construction. Construction is performed in distinct steps, each of which has its own mix of equipment, and, consequently, its own noise characteristics. However, despite the variety in the type and size of construction equipment, similarities in the dominant noise sources and patterns of operation allow construction-related noise ranges to be categorized by work phase.

Construction of individual developments associated with buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would temporally increase the ambient noise environment. However, the City of Ontario restricts the hours of construction activities to the least noise-sensitive portions of the day. According to the Municipal Code, construction activities are restricted to the weekday hours of 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. However, construction activities may occur outside of these hours if the City determines that the maintenance, repair, or improvement is necessary to maintain public services or cannot feasibly be conducted during normal business hours, or if construction activities comply with the stationary source noise standards of the Municipal Code (see Table 5.12-4 of TOP FEIR). Because construction activities associated with any individual development may occur near noise-sensitive receptors and noise disturbances may occur for prolonged periods of time, construction noise impacts from buildout of the Land Use Plan are considered significant.

The Project site is identified as industrial use in TOP Land Use Plan. The industrial land use designation is generally not considered a noise sensitive land use. The Project is located in an industrial area and there are no noise-sensitive receptors in the immediate vicinity that may be disturbed by construction of the proposed Project. In addition, the following mitigation measure from TOP FEIR would be applicable:
2146
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Mitigation Measures 12-4: Construction activities associated with new development that occurs near sensitive receptors shall be evaluated for potential noise impacts. Mitigation measures such as installation of temporary sound barriers for adjacent construction activities that occur adjacent to occupied noise-sensitive structures, equipping construction equipment with mufflers, and reducing nonessential idling of construction equipment to no more than five minutes shall be incorporated into the construction operations to reduce construction-related noise to the extent feasible.

Operational Noise. As described in TOP FEIR, the northeastern portion of the City of Ontario is characterized by industrial warehousing operations. In addition to on-site mechanical equipment, warehousing and industrial land uses generate substantial truck traffic that results in additional sources of noise on local roadways in the vicinity of industrial operations.

The City of Ontario regulates noise sources within the City through the City’s Municipal Code (Title 5, Chapter 29, Noise). The City of Ontario Municipal Code has established noise standards for stationary source noise levels, as shown in Table 5.12-4 of TOP FEIR, City of Ontario Maximum Permissible Exterior Noise Levels, at various categories of land uses in the City. The City applies the Noise Control Ordinance standards to non-transportation noise sources. These standards do not gauge the compatibility of developments in the noise environment, but provide restrictions on the amount and duration of noise generated at a property, as measured at the property line of the noise receptor.

Industrial noise is less intermittent and can have moderate to high levels on a continual basis. TOP proposes 159,998,711 square feet of industrial land uses at buildout. As shown in Figure 3-6 for TOP FEIR, proposed industrial areas are centered around the Ontario International Airport (ONT) and Chino Airport. In general, new industrial areas would be buffered by business park uses or located around existing major noise sources that would mask most industrial noise (e.g., freeways, Chino Airport, ONT). The siting of new industrial developments may increase noise levels to nearby uses. This can be due to the continual presence of heavy trucks used for the pick-up and delivery of goods and supplies, or from the use of noisy equipment used in the manufacturing or machining process. While vehicle noise on public roadways is exempt from local regulation, for the purposes of the planning process, it may be regulated as a stationary-source noise while operating on private property. To regulate stationary-source noise created by industrial machinery and tools from affecting sensitive land uses, the City of Ontario requires industrial operations to limit noise to no greater than the maximum allowable noise levels as described in the Noise Ordinance.

As shown in TOP FEIR Figure 5.12-6, future noise levels from surface transportation are expected to be between 65 and 75 dBA CNEL, depending on the location within the Project site.

Part of the Project site would be expected to experience a 3 to 4 dBA CNEL increase associated with buildout of TOP land use plan.

The proposed Project would be required to comply with the City’s Noise Ordinance (Title 5, Chapter 29, Noise). Compliance with the noise ordinance would result in noise levels that are acceptable to the City and would result less than significant noise impacts from stationary sources.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels?
Discussion of Effects: The Proposed Project would involve a warehouse use, and excessive 2147
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels are not anticipated with operation of the Project.

Groundborne vibration may occur as part of the construction of the proposed Project. As described in TOP FEIR, construction operations can generate varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the construction procedures and equipment. Operation of construction equipment generates vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish with distance from the source. The effect on buildings in the vicinity of the construction site varies depending on soil type, ground strata, and receptor-building construction. The results from vibration can range from no perceptible effects at the lowest vibration levels, to low rumbling sounds and perceptible vibrations at moderate levels, and slight structural damage at the highest levels.

The Project site is located within an industrial area, and there are no noise-sensitive receptors in the immediate vicinity. As specific construction equipment use is not known at this time, the following mitigation measure included in TOP FEIR would be applicable to the Project site, and reduce the potential impact to a less-than-significant level:

Mitigation Measures 12-2: Individual projects that involve vibration-intensive construction activities, such as pile drivers, jack hammers, and vibratory rollers, occurring near sensitive receptors shall be evaluated for potential vibration impacts. If construction-related vibration is determined to be perceptible at vibration-sensitive uses (i.e., exceed the Federal Transit Administration vibration-annoyance criteria of 78 VdB during the daytime), additional requirements, such as use of less vibration intensive equipment or construction techniques, shall be implemented during construction (e.g., drilled piles to eliminate use of vibration-intensive pile driver).

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
Discussion of Effects: The project will not be a significant noise generator and will not cause a substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels because of the limited size and scope of the project. Moreover, the proposed use will be required to operate within the noise levels permitted for commercial development, pursuant to City of Ontario Development Code.

Therefore, no increases in noise levels within the vicinity of the project are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. A substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
Discussion of Effects: Temporary construction activities will minimally impact ambient noise levels. All construction machinery will be maintained according to industry standards to help minimize the impacts. Normal activities associated with the project are unlikely to increase ambient noise levels.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. 2148
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

e. For a project located within the noise impact zones of the airport land use compatibility plan for ONT and Chino Airports, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
Discussion of Effects: According to the Safety Element in The Ontario Plan, the proposed site is located within the airport land use plan. However, the project is located outside of the 65CNEL noise contour. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: None required.
f. For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? Discussion of Effects: The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip.

Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

14. POPULATION & HOUSING. Would the project:
a. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of road or other infrastructure)?
Discussion of Effects: This proposed Project includes construction of two warehouse buildings and associated site improvements. The Project does not include new housing or a large employment generator, which could directly induce substantial unplanned population growth.

Additionally, the proposed Project does not include the expansion of infrastructure, which could indirectly cause unplanned population growth. No population growth impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Discussion of Effects: The Project site is currently vacant and does not include any housing units. Construction of the Project would not displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing; no impact would occur.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
Discussion of Effects: The project site is currently undeveloped. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and 2149
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

15. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project:
a. Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services:
i. Fire protection?
Discussion of Effects: The Ontario Fire Department provides fire service to the Project site. The Ontario Fire Department has ten fire stations, including the Ontario International Airport (ONT) fire station. These fire stations house nine 4-person paramedic engine companies, three 4- person truck companies, an 8-person ARFF station, one fire investigation supervisor, and two battalion chiefs. The closest fire station to the Project site is Ontario Fire Department Station 7, located at 4901 Vanderbilt Street, which is approximately one mile from the Project site.

In 2020, the Ontario Fire Department responded to over 20,000 calls for service, approximately 55 calls per day, ranging from medical emergencies to a traffic collisions to large commercial fires. Ontario Fire Department has 221 personnel comprised of 182 sworn firefighters and 39 professional staff members serving our community across five bureaus – Operations, Fire Prevention, Support Services/Airport Operations, EMS, and Administrative Services.

As described in TOP FEIR, firefighter staffing needs are determined by the Ontario Fire Department by the number of calls and requests for fire services within the service area. The Fire Department also reviews service contracts with the California Department of Forestry to ensure fire services in times of emergency. To ensure the provision of adequate fire protection services, the City of Ontario has established a Development Impact Fee Program to provide funding for services within the City. Fees collected from developers are placed in a fire services fund that can be expended for the acquisition or construction of new fire services facilities and for the improvement or expansion of the City’s existing fire service capabilities, provided that such expenditure from the fund has been authorized by the City Council. The Project applicant would be required to pay all appropriate fire service development fees.

Additionally, as described in detail in TOP FEIR, future growth in accordance with TOP is expected to increase the demand for fire services throughout the city but especially in the New Model Colony (NMC). The Development Impact Fee and Nexus Schedule (2005) recommends that two new stations would be built in the Old Model Colony (OMC) to replace stations number 3 and 7 and that four new stations be built in the NMC. The funding needed to build these stations has been assessed and incorporated into the fee schedule and it would be adequate for the proposed development and relocation of stations. Various localized environmental impacts related to construction of new fire stations could occur; however environmental review would occur once site specific plans have been developed.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary. ii. Police protection?
Discussion of Effects: The Ontario Police Department is a full-service police agency providing a wide range of crime suppression, education, and prevention services to the community. The Ontario Police Department has three main service bureaus: the Uniform Bureau, 2150
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Investigations Bureau, and Service Bureau. Within these bureaus, the department comprises the Police Administration, Air Support Unit, Community Oriented Problem Solving unit, Special Weapons and Tactics Team, Traffic Division, Communications Division, Investigation Division, and Crime Prevention Division.

The Ontario Police Department has implemented a geographical based policing program. As part of this “Geo-Policing” program, the city has been divided into three geographical areas: West, East, and South. Each area has an assigned Lieutenant as Area Commander. The Area Commander is responsible for the delivery of police services in their area of control with an emphasis on the preservation and improvement of the quality of life, safety, and economic value of those who live and do business in the city. Each area has dedicated teams of officers and corporals, headed by police sergeants, who work day-to-day (24/7) patrol operations; traffic officers; Community Oriented Problem Solving (C.O.P.S.) officers, who work special projects; narcotics investigators; and detectives. The Project site is located within the East Area Command.

As described in TOP FEIR, buildout of TOP would result in an increase in demand for police protection services within the City. New facilities, equipment, and personnel may be necessary to maintain adequate levels of service. Development within the City would be subject to development impact fees that would pay for police services. The police services required to cover the new development and population growth for the City of Ontario would be assessed and acquired appropriately based on the needs of the City. The police services would receive adequate funding through the City’s general fund to cover Project needs.

Buildout of TOP would result in an impact on the Ontario Police Department and their ability to deliver police services in a timely manner. Buildout of TOP would require the hiring of new staff and the building of new facilities. Environmental impacts would result from the construction of these facilities and each project would have to complete environmental review under CEQA.

Various localized environmental impacts related to construction of new police facilities could occur; however environmental review would occur once site specific plans have been developed and potential environmental impacts would be reduced to less than significant through mitigation and compliance with existing regulations.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
iii. Schools?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project does not include residential uses and is not expected to directly increase demand for school services. The proposed Project would be required to pay applicable development impact fees to the Cucamonga School District and the Chaffey Joint Union High School District, which provide school services to the Project site and surrounding area. Currently, the Cucamonga School District collects a development fee of $0.228 per square foot of Industrial/Warehouse/Manufacturing Use. Based on a revenue sharing agreement, the Chaffey Joint Union High School District receives approximately 31 percent of the school impact fee collected. Payment of school impact fees, as allowed by Government Code 65996, are meant to offset increased student enrollment and has been deemed by the State legislature (per Government Code Section 65995(h)) to constitute full and complete mitigation of impacts of a development project on the provision of adequate school facilities. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered 2151
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
iv. Parks?
Discussion of Effects: This proposed Project includes construction of two warehouse buildings and associated site improvements. The Project does not include new housing or a large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of neighborhood parks or other recreational facilities; this potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
v. Other public facilities?
Discussion of Effects: This proposed Project includes construction of two warehouse buildings and associated site improvements. The Project does not include new housing or a large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of public facilities, such as libraries; this potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

16. RECREATION. Would the project:
a. Increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? Discussion of Effects: This proposed Project includes construction of two warehouse buildings and associated site improvements. The Project does not include new housing or a large employment generator that would cause an increase in the use of neighborhood parks or other recreational facilities; this potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Discussion of Effects: The Project does not include construction of recreational facilities.

Additionally, the Project is not proposing any new housing or a large employment generator that would require the construction or expansion neighborhood parks or other recreational facilities; this potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

17. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project:
2152
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

a. Conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system, taking into account all modes of transportation including mass transit and non-motorized travel and relevant components of the circulation system, including but not limited?
Discussion of Effects: The project is in an area that is mostly developed with all street improvements existing. The number of vehicle trips per day is not expected to be increased as a result of this Project. Less than significant impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Conflict with an applicable congestion management program, including, but not limited to, level of service standard and travel demand measures, or other standards established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? Discussion of Effects: TOP FEIR concluded that trips generated as a result of buildout TOP Land Use Plan would cause a deficient level of service (LOS) for existing area intersections without implementation of the recommended lane geometry improvements. In addition, buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would also cumulatively contribute to the cumulatively significant freeway level of service impact that is already projected to occur in the future. TOP FEIR Mitigation Measure 16-1 includes development of more enhanced intersections throughout the City, as identified in Table

5.16-6 of TOP FEIR, and construction of additional turn and through lanes. As further described in TOP FEIR, implementation of these improvements would result in LOS E or above at all intersections during both AM and PM peak hours. With implementation of the mitigation measure, impacts to local roadways would be less than significant. However, buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would result in additional traffic volume that would significantly cumulatively contribute to mainline freeway segment impacts. The City’s development impact fees cannot be used for improvements to roadway facilities under the sole jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), such as freeway mainline segments, and the City cannot widen the freeway itself.

Consequently, impacts to freeway segments within the City were identified as significant and unavoidable.

As described in more detail in Section 17.b, below, the proposed Project is forecast to generate fewer trips than the original zoning of the site, which was incorporated in TOP FEIR. The traffic impacts associated with the proposed Project would be considered consistent with and less than the traffic impacts projected and analyzed in TOP FEIR. The proposed Project would not create an increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume, or congestion at intersections than has already been evaluated in TOP FEIR.

As described in TOP FEIR, the Mobility Element would introduce and implement various strategies and approaches to accommodate multiple modes of travel. The plan accounts for improvements and enhancements to roadways (for passenger cars, trucks, buses, and bicycles), rail lines (for freight and passenger rail), and trails and walkways (for bicycles and pedestrians).

The strategies and approaches to improvements to public transit and nonmotorized transportation would ensure that this impact would be less than significant. Construction of the proposed Project would not impede implementation of the strategies identified in the Mobility Element, and the impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a 2153
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

change in location that results in substantial safety risks? Discussion of Effects: The project will not create a substantial safety risk or interfere with air traffic patterns at Ontario International Airport as it is under such height restrictions. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? Discussion of Effects: CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 subdivision (b) has been included in the 2018 CEQA Guidelines update as part of the implementation of SB 743, which requires local jurisdictions use Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) instead of Level of Service (LOS) methodologies for the purpose of determining the significance of traffic impacts under CEQA. As part of the implementation of SB 743, local jurisdiction were given until July 1, 2020 to develop and implement thresholds of significance criteria and methodologies for evaluating VMT under the new SB 743 requirements. TOP FEIR was certified prior to adoption of SB 743. As such, the analysis of traffic impacts within TOP FEIR is based on Level of Service (LOS) methodologies, not Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT). As TOP FEIR relies on LOS for the analysis of the transportation impacts, this Addendum also includes a discussion of LOS.

TOP FEIR concluded that trips generated as a result of buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would cause a deficient LOS for the existing area intersections without implementation of the recommended lane geometry improvements. In addition, buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would also cumulatively contribute to the cumulatively significant freeway level of service impact that were projected to occur in the future. TOP FEIR Mitigation Measure 16-1 includes development of more enhanced intersections throughout the City, as identified in Table 5.16-6 of the TOP FEIR, and construction of additional turn and through lanes. As further described in TOP FEIR, implementation of these improvements would result in LOS E or above at all intersections during both AM and PM peak hours. Under the City’s development impact fee program, project applicants for new developments can either contribute their fair share toward traffic improvements or make the improvements as part of the project. Additionally, the City of Ontario has a Capital Improvement Program that details the implementation of regional improvements. With implementation of the mitigation measure, impacts to local roadways would be less than significant. However, buildout of TOP Land Use Plan would result in additional traffic volume that would significantly cumulatively contribute to mainline freeway segment impacts. The City’s development impact fees cannot be used for improvements to roadway facilities under Caltrans’ sole jurisdiction, such as freeway mainline segments, and the City cannot widen the freeway itself. Consequently, impacts to freeway segments within the City were identified as significant and unavoidable.

TOP FEIR analysis assumed that the Project site would have an Industrial land use. The Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan identified the site as having a maximum development potential of 300,000 square feet. The Specific Plan Amendment to the Toyota/Ontario Business Park Specific Plan adopted by the City Council in 2020 changed the zoning of the site from Office/Research & Development (Office/R&D) to Industrial Mixed Use. The proposed Project includes development of two warehouse buildings totaling 168,772 square feet, which includes approximately 15,000 square feet of office space and approximately 153,772 square feet of warehouse space.

To evaluate the potential change in trips associated with the Specific Plan Amendment for the Project site, Ganddini evaluated the trip generation associated with the original Office/Research and Development zoning designation, as well as the development for the Specific Plan Amendment. It should be noted that for the Specific Plan Amendment development 2154
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

analysis, the Ganddini Group evaluated a development scenario that was slightly larger (approximately 4,475 square feet) than what the Project proposes. As shown in Table 5, the Proposed Project would result in a reduction in the number of trips generated on the Project site compared to the prior zoning designation.

Table 5: Trip Generation Comparison

(A) While the proposed Project includes 168,772 square feet of floor area, the Ganddini report analyzed impacts from 173,247 square feet of floor area.

The proposed Project is forecast to generate fewer trips than the original zoning of the site.

The traffic impacts associated with the proposed Project would be considered consistent with and less than the traffic impacts projected and analyzed with TOP FEIR. The proposed Project would not create a substantial increase in the number of vehicle trips, traffic volume or congestion at intersections than has already been evaluated within the FEIR.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. e. Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Discussion of Effects: The Project is in an area that is mostly developed, and no alterations are proposed for adjacent intersections or arterials. The Project would not create a substantial increase in hazards due to a design feature; this potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. f. Result in inadequate emergency access?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project would not include any changes to adjacent roadways. Additionally, development of the proposed Project includes fire lanes and would provide access for all emergency vehicles. The proposed Project would not result in a significant impact related to inadequate emergency access.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. g. Result in inadequate parking capacity?
Discussion of Effects: The project is required to meet parking standards established by the Ontario Development Code and will therefore not create an inadequate parking capacity. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. h. Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
Discussion of Effects: The project does not conflict with any transportation policies, plans or programs. Therefore, no impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: None required.

18. 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 21074 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 Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k)? Discussion of Effects: The results of the records research compiled from the CHRIS-SCCIC, the Scared Lands File Search (commissioned through the NAHC) failed to indicate known Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) within the Project boundaries or within a one-mile radius of the Project area as specified in Public Resources Code (PRC): 210741, 5020.1(k), or 5024.

Moreover, there was no indication of known TCRs within the Project site or within a onemile radius of the Project Area. In compliance with AB 52, it is the responsibility of the Public Agency (e.g. Lead Agency) to consult with Native American tribes early in the CEQA process to allow tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the appropriate level of environment review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to TCRs, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process (see PRC Section 2108.3.2). Specifically, government-to-government consultation may provide “tribal knowledge” of the Project Area that can be used in identifying TCRs that cannot be obtained through other investigative means.

The Project Site has been highly disturbed by modern human activities to include agricultural use from the 1940’s through the 1960’s and the development and construction of the Toyota Motors North American Parts Center and supporting infrastructure that would have displaced surface and subsurface archaeological resources. Therefore, it is concluded that the proposed Project would not impact Tribal Cultural Resources or Native America artifacts relating to TCR’s and as such, no mitigation measures are recommended.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
b. A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.
2156
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Discussion of Effects: The subject site is not listed in the California Register of Historic Resources. It is anticipated that during the application process the Lead Agency will notify the tribes of the proposed Specific Plan Amendment and will commence AB 52 Consultations as specified in the regulations. In addition, the results of the records research compiled from the CHRIS-SCCIC, the Scared Lands File Search (commissioned through the NAHC) failed to indicate known Tribal Cultural Resources (TCR) within the Project boundaries or within a one-mile radius of the Project area as specified in Public Resources Code (PRC): 210741, 5020.1(k), or 5024. Moreover, there was no indication of known TCRs within the Project site or within a one-mile radius of the Project Area. No impacts are anticipated through Project implementation.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

19. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project:
a. Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed project is served by the City of Ontario sewer system, which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 treatment plant. The project is required to meet the requirements of the Ontario Engineering Department regarding wastewater. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
b. Require or result in the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed project is served by the City of Ontario sewer system and which has waste treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the RP-1 treatment plant.

RP-1 is not at capacity and this project will not cause RP-1 to exceed capacity. The project will therefore not require the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities, or the expansion of existing facilities. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
c. Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, the potable water network in Ontario includes 536 miles of pipeline, ranging from 2 to 42 inches in diameter. The City has four pressure zones. Locally obtained water comes from approximately 20 operating groundwater wells in Ontario and the Chino Basin Desalter Authority (CDA). The Project Site would be served by City of Ontario water system and there is a 12-inch water line available for connection in Jurupa Street. 2157
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

TOP FEIR includes a discussion of the City’s sewer system. The City sewer mains are primarily constructed of vitrified clay pipe ranging from 4 to 42 inches in diameter. Approximately 75 percent of the pipes are 8 inches in diameter. The City’s sewers are classified into two groups:
primary sewers, greater than 15 inches in diameter, and secondary sewers, 15 inches or smaller in diameter. The City has about 375 miles of gravity sewers. The City’s wastewater collection system also consists of two City-owned pump stations, one privately owned/City-maintained pump station, over 7,000 feet of associated force mains, and five siphons. The Project would connect to an 8-inch sewer line off Jurupa Street.

Wastewater generated at the Project site would be treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 1 (RP-1). RP-1 is located in the City of Ontario and has undergone several expansions to increase the design hydraulic domestic wastewater treatment capacity to 44 million gallons per day. The plant treats an average influent wastewater flow of approximately 28 million gallons per day. The plant serves areas of Chino, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, and solids removed from RP-4, located in Rancho Cucamonga. RP-1 has treatment capacity and future development of this Project site would not cause RP-1 to exceed capacity.

The City of Ontario maintains the local stormwater drainage system, which includes regional (major) drainage facilities designed to convey peak 100-year discharge flows and secondary drainage facilities designed for peak 10-, 25-, or 100-year flows that convey locally generated flows to regional facilities. The City’s stormwater is collected and diverted into various channels that empty into the Santa Ana River; a small portion is reclaimed in spreading basins for reuse as percolated groundwater. The primary direction of drainage flow in the Chino watershed is from the San Gabriel Mountains southward to the Santa Ana River, then southwest in the river.

For Building A, runoff from the east portion of the site, along with the northerly landscaped area, would be conveyed through storm drain Line A. Runoff from the west half of the site along with the parking lot to the south of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line B.

These storm drain lines would discharge into an underground infiltration chamber system located in the central portion of the site. The underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume, as well as mitigate discharge to existing conditions for the Project site. The system would have a footprint of approximately 54-feet by 160-feet and consist of 60-inch diameter perforated corrugated metal pipes surrounded by gravel. The excess flow generated from higher storm events would be designed to back up in proposed Line A, which would convey and then discharge to the existing private storm drain line in Toyota Way.

For Building B, runoff from the north of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line C. Runoff from the south of the building would be conveyed through storm drain Line D. The proposed storm drain lines would discharge into an underground infiltration chamber system located in the southwest portion of the site. The underground infiltration system would be sized to capture and retain the required water quality design capture volume. The system would have a footprint of approximately 24-feet by 105-feet and consist of 60-inch diameter perforated corrugated metal pipes surrounded by gravel. The excess flow generated from higher storm events would be designed to back up in proposed Line D and release in Line E, which would convey and then discharge to the existing private storm drain line in Toyota Way.

The proposed Project would not require the construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities, or the expansion of existing facilities. As discussed in the Energy Section above (Section 6), the Project would have less than significant impacts with regard to electric power and natural gas. In addition, the Project would not have an impact on telecommunications facilities.

Construction and operation of the proposed Project would result in a less than significant impact related to utilities services.

Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.
d. Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? In making this determination, the City shall consider whether the project is subject to the water supply assessment requirements of Water Code Section 10910, et seq. (SB 610), and the requirements of Government Code Section 664737 (SB 221).

Discussion of Effects: As a water supplier, the City is required to prepare and Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP). A UWMP provides a framework for long term water supply and evaluates existing water conservation efforts. As described in the City’s UWMP, purchased water and groundwater supplies are sufficient in meeting the City’s water demands under all base years, including during normal, single, and multiple dry years. Sufficient water supplies are available to serve the proposed Project.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. e. Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider that serves or may serve the project that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
Discussion of Effects: Wastewater generated at the Project site would be treated by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency at the Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 1 (RP-1). RP-1 is located in the City of Ontario and has undergone several expansions to increase the design hydraulic domestic wastewater treatment capacity to 44 million gallons per day. The plant treats an average influent wastewater flow of approximately 28 million gallons per day. The plant serves areas of Chino, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, and solids removed from the Regional Water Recycling Plant No. 4 (RP-4), located in Rancho Cucamonga. RP-1 has treatment capacity, and future development of this Project site would not cause RP-1 to exceed capacity.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation required. The proposed Project will not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary. f. Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs?
Discussion of Effects: City of Ontario serves the proposed project. Currently, the City of Ontario contracts with a waste disposal company that transports trash to a landfill with sufficient capacity to handle the City’s solid waste disposal needs. No impacts are anticipated.

Mitigation: None required.
g. Generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals? Discussion of Effects: As described in TOP FEIR, increases in population in the City of Ontario would result in increases in solid waste disposal needs. Buildout of TOP would result in the generation of 2,017 tons per day of solid waste in the City. This would be 1,009 more tons per day 2159
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

(368,488 more tons per year) of solid waste than in 2007. To reduce waste disposal, AB 939 requires every California city and county to divert 50 percent of its waste from landfills by the year 2000.

The City of Ontario has met this waste diversion requirement through local recycling programs and participation in regional recycling programs.

As noted in TOP FEIR, the El Sobrante landfill has a capacity of 184,930,000 tons and is expected to close in 2030. Growth in the surrounding communities that use El Sobrante landfill will cause additional increases in waste generation. According to AB 939, jurisdictions are required to begin planning for new landfills when the jurisdiction’s primary disposal site reaches its 15-year capacity. To reduce waste disposal, AB 939 also requires every California city and county to divert 50 percent of its waste from landfills by the year 2000. The City of Ontario has exceeded this requirement by diverting approximately 64 percent of waste through local recycling programs and participation in regional recycling programs. Continuation of these recycling programs would ensure compliance with AB 939. All impacts on waste disposal services would be less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. h. Comply with federal, state, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste? Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project would comply with all with federal, state, and local statues and regulations regarding solid waste; potential impacts would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

20. WILDFIRE. If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the project:
a. Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Discussion of Effects: Wildfire was not analyzed in TOP FEIR but has since been included as part of the 2019 revisions to the State CEQA Guidelines. A discussion of potential wildfire impacts is provided below.

The Project site is located within an urban industrial area and does not include any changes to roadways. Additionally, according to CalFire mapping, the Project site is not located in or near a State Responsibility Area (SRA), nor is it located in or near lands classified as a Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ). The closest FHSZ is approximately three miles from the Project site. The proposed Project would not substantially impair and emergency response or evacuation plan.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new significant impacts. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire?
2160
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

Discussion of Effects: The Project site is not located in or near an SRA nor is it located in or near lands classified as a very high FHSZ. The closest FHSZ is approximately three miles from the Project site. This potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new significant impacts. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment? Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project would include construction of two warehouse buildings and associated onsite improvements, and would not require the installation of off-site infrastructure, such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, or other utilities. The Project site is not located in or near an SRA nor is it located in or near lands classified as a very high FHSZ.

The closest fire hazard severity zone is approximately three miles from the Project site. This potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new significant impacts. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. 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? Discussion of Effects: The Project site is relatively flat and is located in an urban industrial area. The Project site is not located in or near an SRA nor is it located in or near lands classified as a very high FHSZ. The closest FHSZ is approximately three miles from the Project site. This potential impact would be considered less than significant.

Mitigation: No new mitigation measures are required. The proposed Project would not result in any new significant impacts. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary.

21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat or a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? Discussion of Effects: The results of the preceding analysis indicate that the proposed Project would have less-than-significant impacts to sensitive biological, historical, archaeological, and paleontological resources with implementation of the mitigation measures identified in TOP FEIR and the City’s Standard Conditions of Approval. Impacts related to degradation of the environment would be less than significant and no additional mitigation is required.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals?
Discussion of Effects: The proposed Project does not have the potential to achieve shortterm environmental goals to the disadvantage of long-term environmental goals. TOP land use 2161
Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report File Nos.: PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018

plan has anticipated industrial uses on the Project site, and all applicable TOP FEIR mitigation measures and City Standard Conditions of Approval would be applicable.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. c. Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current project, and the effects of probable future projects.) Discussion of Effects: Cumulative impacts resulting from the development of the Project site were included in TOP FEIR analysis. The proposed Project does not include any changes to land use plan designations and thus is generally consistent with the project analyzed in TOP FEIR.

The proposed Project’s individual contribution to potentially significant cumulative impacts is not considerable and no mitigation is required.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation is required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analysis are necessary. d. Does the project have environmental effects that will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
Discussion of Effects: As supported by the preceding environmental evaluation, the proposed Project would not result in substantial adverse effects on human beings. It has been determined through analysis within TOP FEIR and this Addendum that the proposed Project would not result in a significant substantial adverse effect on human beings.

Mitigation: No additional mitigation required. The proposed Project would not result in any new, increased or substantially different impacts, other than those previously considered and addressed in the Certified TOP FEIR. No changes or additions to TOP FEIR analyses are necessary.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY FOUND, DETERMINED, AND RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Ontario, as follows:

SECTION 1: Environmental Determination and Findings. As the decisionmaking body for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Addendum, the initial study, and the administrative record for the Project, including all written and oral evidence provided during the comment period.

Based upon the facts and information contained in the Addendum, the initial study, and the administrative record, including all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
(1) The environmental impacts of the Project were reviewed in conjunction with an Addendum to The Ontario Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2008101140), certified by the Ontario City Council on January 27, 2010, in conjunction with File No. PMTT21-010 and PDEV21-018; and 2169
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PMTT21-010 (TPM 20147)
December 20, 2021

(2) The EIR Addendum and administrative record have been completed in compliance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of Ontario Local CEQA Guidelines; and
(3) The City's "Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)" provide for the use of a single environmental assessment in situations where the impacts of subsequent projects are adequately analyzed. This Application introduces no new significant environmental impacts; and (4) All previously adopted mitigation measures shall be a condition of project approval, as they are applicable to the Project, and are incorporated herein by this reference; and
(5) The EIR Addendum contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impacts associated with the Project, and reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission; and
(6) There is no substantial evidence in the administrative record supporting a fair argument that the project may result in significant environmental impacts.

SECTION 2: Subsequent or Supplemental Environmental Review Not Required. Based on the EIR Addendum, all related information presented to the Planning Commission, and the specific findings set forth in Section 1, above, the Planning Commission finds that the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental Certified EIR is not required for the Project, as the Project:
(1) Does not constitute substantial changes to the Certified EIR that will require major revisions to the Certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
(2) Does not constitute substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Certified EIR was prepared, that will require major revisions to the Certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and (3) Does not contain new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Certified EIR was certified/adopted, that shows any of the following:
(a) The Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Certified EIR; or
2170
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PMTT21-010 (TPM 20147)
December 20, 2021

(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the Certified EIR; or
(c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the Project, but the City declined to adopt such measures; or (d) Mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the Certified EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the City declined to adopt.

SECTION 3: Housing Element Compliance. Pursuant to the requirements of California Government Code Chapter 3, Article 10.6, commencing with Section 65580, as the decision-making body for the Project, the Planning Commission finds that based upon the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation, at the time of Project implementation, the project is consistent with the Housing Element of the Policy Plan (General Plan) component of The Ontario Plan, as the project site is not one of the properties in the Available Land Inventory contained in Table A-3 (Available Land by Planning Area) of the Housing Element Technical Report Appendix.

SECTION 4: Ontario International Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) Compliance. The California State Aeronautics Act (Public Utilities Code Section 21670 et seq.) requires that an Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan be prepared for all public use airports in the State; and requires that local land use plans and individual development proposals must be consistent with the policies set forth in the adopted Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. On April 19, 2011, the City Council of the City of Ontario approved and adopted the ALUCP, establishing the Airport Influence Area for Ontario International Airport (hereinafter referred to as “ONT”), which encompasses lands within parts of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles Counties, and limits future land uses and development within the Airport Influence Area, as they relate to noise, safety, airspace protection, and overflight impacts of current and future airport activity. As the decision-making authority for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the facts and information contained in the Application and supporting documentation against the ALUCP compatibility factors, including [1] Safety Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-2) and Safety Zones (ALUCP Map 2-2), [2] Noise Criteria (ALUCP Table 2-3) and Noise Impact Zones (ALUCP Map 2-3), [3] Airspace protection Zones (ALUCP Map 2-4), and [4] Overflight Notification Zones (ALUCP Map 2-5). As a result, the PLANNING COMMISSION, therefore, finds and determines that the Project, when implemented in conjunction with the conditions of approval, will be consistent with the policies and criteria set forth within the ALUCP.

SECTION 5: Concluding Facts and Reasons. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the above-referenced hearing, 2171
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PMTT21-010 (TPM 20147)
December 20, 2021

and upon the specific findings set forth in Sections 1 through 4, above, the Planning Commission hereby concludes as follows:
(1) The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the goals, policies, plans, and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan, and applicable area and specific plans, and planned unit developments. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is located within the Industrial land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map, and the Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan zoning district. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals, policies, plans, and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan, as the project will contribute to the establishment of “[a] dynamic, progressive city containing distinct neighborhoods and commercial districts that foster a positive sense of identity and belonging among residents, visitors, and businesses” (Goal CD1). Furthermore, the project will promote the City’s policy to “take actions that are consistent with the City being a leading urban center in Southern California while recognizing the diverse character of our existing viable neighborhoods” (Policy CD1-1 City Identity). (2) The design or improvement of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the goals, policies, plans and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan, and applicable specific plans and planned unit developments. The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is located within the Industrial land use district of the Policy Plan Land Use Map, and the Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan zoning district. The proposed design or improvement of the subdivision is consistent with the goals, policies, plans, and exhibits of the Vision, Policy Plan (General Plan), and City Council Priorities components of The Ontario Plan, as the project will provide “[a] high level of design quality resulting in public spaces, streetscapes, and developments that are attractive, safe, functional and distinct (Goal CD2). Furthermore, the project will promote the City’s policy to “collaborate with the development community to design and build neighborhoods, streetscapes, sites, outdoor spaces, landscaping and buildings to reduce energy demand through solar orientation, maximum use of natural daylight, passive solar and natural ventilation, building form, mechanical and structural systems, building materials and construction techniques” (Policy CD2-7 Sustainability).
(3) The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.

The project site meets the minimum lot area and dimensions of the Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan zoning district, and is physically suitable for the type of industrial development proposed in terms of zoning, land use and development activity proposed, and existing and proposed site conditions.
(4) The site is physically suitable for the density/intensity of development proposed. The project site is proposed for industrial development at a floor-area ratio 2172
Planning Commission Resolution
File No. PMTT21-010 (TPM 20147)
December 20, 2021

ranging from 0.23 to 0.33. The project site meets the minimum lot area and dimensions of the Toyota Ontario Business Park Specific Plan zoning district, and is physically suitable for this proposed density / intensity of development. (5) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements thereon, are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat. The project site is not located in an area that has been identified as containing species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, nor does the site contain any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community, and no wetland habitat is present on site; therefore, the design of the subdivision, or improvements proposed thereon, are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage, or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife, or their habitat. (6) The design of the subdivision, or the type of improvements thereon, are not likely to cause serious public health problems. The design of the proposed subdivision, and the industrial improvements existing or proposed on the project site, are not likely to cause serious public health problems, as the project is not anticipated to involve the transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials during either construction or project implementation, include the use of hazardous materials or volatile fuels, nor are there any known stationary commercial or industrial land uses within close proximity to the subject site that use/store hazardous materials to the extent that they would pose a significant hazard to visitors or occupants to the project site. (7) The design of the subdivision, or the type of improvements thereon, will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through, or use of property within, the proposed subdivision. The proposed subdivision has provided for all necessary public easements and dedications for access through, or use of property within, the proposed subdivision. Furthermore, all such public easements and dedications have been designed pursuant to: (a) the requirements of the Policy Plan component of The Ontario Plan and applicable area plans; (b) applicable specific plans or planned unit developments; (c) applicable provisions of the City of Ontario Development Code; (d) applicable master plans and design guidelines of the City; and (e) applicable Standard Drawings of the City.
