Appendix HS-1- Noise
The Noise Environment
There are several potentially significant primary sources of community noise within Patterson.
These sources include traffic on major roadways and highways, railroad operations, and agricultural and industrial activities.
A community noise survey was conducted to document existing background (ambient) noise levels at four representative locations within the City. The monitoring site locations were located in both residential and commercial areas of the City. Noise measurements were conducted concurrently at the sites, beginning at midnight on March 25, 2010. The monitoring sites are shown in Figure HS-4.
Noise measurements were conducted continuously for a 24-hour period using Larson-Davis Laboratories Model 820 sound level analyzers equipped with Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) Type 4176 ½ inch microphones. The equipment was calibrated with a B&K Type 4230 acoustic calibrator to ensure the accuracy of the measurements and complies with applicable standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for Type 1 sound level meters. Microphones were located on tripods at approximately five feet above the ground.
Site 1 was located at a self storage facility on North 1st Street between M Street and Olive Avenue.
The site is a commercial area with mixed residential uses to the west and agriculture and rural residential uses to the east. The microphone was located approximately 150 feet east of State Route 33 (SR-33) and approximately 230 feet west of North 1st Street. The California Northern Railroad (CFNR) track is located approximately 80 feet to the west, and lies between SR-33 and the site. Measured hourly maximum noise levels ranged from 61-91 dBA during the sample period, and were likely caused by passing vehicles and trains. Background (L90) noise levels ranged from about 50-55 dBA during the morning and afternoon commute hours to about 45-50 dBA during the middle of the afternoon, evening and night time hours. The measured DNL was
62.4 dB.
Site 2 was located at a City water storage facility approximately 475 feet northwest of the intersection of Orange Avenue and Locust Avenue. There are commercial uses located to the west of the site, and agricultural uses to the north, east and south. There are a few existing single-family homes located to the south of the monitoring site. Measured hourly maximum noise levels ranged from 55-86 dBA during the sample period and were likely caused by passing vehicles and trains. Background (L90) noise levels were relatively constant throughout the sample period, and ranged from 53-55 dBA. The predominant background noise source measured at Site 2 was exhaust fans from the Sierra Pacific facility. The measured DNL was 62.1 dB.
Site 3 was located at a City fire station at 1950 Keystone Pacific Parkway. The microphone was located approximately 325 feet east of Park Center Drive and approximately 350 feet south of Keystone Pacific Parkway. The site is surrounded by existing commercial uses and open land.
There are existing single-family homes located approximately 1,500 feet east of the monitoring site. Measured hourly maximum noise levels ranged from 55-80 dBA during the sample period and were likely caused by passing trucks. Background (L90) noise levels ranged from below 40 dBA during the late night and early morning hours to about 47 dBA during the morning commute hours. The measured DNL was 55.4 dB.

HS-25
Site 4 was located in a vacant lot on Peach Blossom Lane between Plumeria Drive and Garden Patch Way. The meter was located in a residential area surrounded by single-family homes.
Measured hourly maximum noise levels ranged from 48-73 dBA during the sample period and were likely caused by passing vehicles. Background (L90) noise levels ranged from below 40 dBA during the late night and early morning hours to about 47 dBA late afternoon and early evening hours. The measured DNL was 50.6 dB.
Stationary Noise Sources
Major existing stationary noise sources within the City of Patterson include the central core commercial/industrial area along SR-33, the CFNR tracks and the CVS Pharmacy and Kohls distribution centers on the west side of town. There are also various smaller sources located within the Study Area.
Central Core Commercial/Industrial Area. This commercial/industrial area represents the area east of SR-33 extending from approximately Las Palmas Avenue to Orange Avenue. This area includes Patterson Vegetable, Sierra Pacific, Trinidad Benham, Traina Foods, George Lowry Petroleum, and other agricultural- and industrial- related facilities. Noise levels generated within this area were measured at multiple short-term locations on March 25-26, 2010, as noted in Figure HS-4.
Table HS-4 documents the measured noise levels and locations of the short-term monitoring sites. Noise levels varied widely throughout the area, with the loudest areas being to the north along Las Palmas Avenue in the vicinity of Patterson Vegetable, as well as in the southern portion along 2nd Street near Trinidad Benham. The closest residential uses are the Las Palmas trailer park to the east. Noise measurements were obtained at two locations within the trailer park (Enrique Way/El Camino Drive and Shirlinda Way/Pasa Felix Drive). Noise levels at these locations ranged from approximately 46-52 dBA.

HS-26
CVS Pharmacy Distribution Center. CVS Pharmacy operates a distribution center southwest of the intersection of Keystone Pacific Parkway and Park Center Drive. Noise sources include trucks entering and exiting the facility, rooftop fans, occasional outdoor forklift movements, and back-up warning beepers. Short term noise measurements were obtained at a distance of approximately 500 feet from the east side of the facility as noted in Figure HS-4. Measured noise levels at that site ranged from 42-45 dBA. Long term monitoring Site 3 was also located east of the distribution center, and background noise levels measured for the 24-hour period ranged from approximately 33-48 dBA. Truck traffic along Keystone Pacific Parkway and Rogers Road was observed to represent a greater noise source than activities at the distribution center.
Kohl’s Distribution Center. Kohl’s Department Store operates a distribution center along the north side of Keystone Pacific Parkway, approximately 1,300 feet northeast of the CVS Pharmacy Distribution Center. Noise sources include trucks entering and exiting the facility, occasional fork lift movements, and back-up warning beepers. Short term noise measurements were obtained at a distance of approximately 800 feet from the south side of the facility as noted in Figure HS-4. Facility-related noise levels at that site ranged from approximately 44-46 dBA. As was the case with the CVS Pharmacy distribution center, activities related to the Kohl’s facility were often inaudible above other ambient noise sources, namely roadway vehicle traffic. Truck traffic along Keystone Pacific Parkway and Rogers Road was observed to represent a greater noise source than activities at the distribution center.
Various Commercial/Industrial-related Industries. Observations on March 25, 2010 indicated that there are a number of commercial/industrial-related uses located north of Las Palmas Avenue generally between North 1st Street and SR-33. There are existing residential uses along the east side of North 1st Street in close proximity. Noise levels were measured in front of a residence along North 1st Street at a distance of approximately 60 feet from Peck & Hiller Concrete, and noise levels ranged from approximately 53-61 dBA. Noise sources included welding, cutting, and grinding activities, and truck movements. Additionally, noise measurements were obtained near Designed Mobile Systems, a manufacturer of modular buildings, located west of SR-33 and north of Poppy Avenue. Noise levels were obtained at a nearby residence at 349 Poppy Avenue, and were measured to be in the range of 49-51 dBA.
Noise sources included forklift movements and back-up warning beepers. Short-term noise monitoring sites are noted in Figure HS-4.
Roadways
Automobile traffic on roadways is one of the primary sources of noise within the Study Area.
The eastern portion of the Study Area is most affected by noise generated by State Route 33, with the existing baseline ranging from 67-69 dB. Additional roadways within the eastern portion of the Study Area which generate significant levels of noise consist of Walnut, Sycamore, and Eucalyptus Avenues; however, these roadways do not generate baseline noise levels in excess of 56 dB.
Within the western portion of the Study Area, a substantial amount of vehicular noise is generated by Interstate-5. Approximately 25,000 vehicles per day travel the I-5 corridor through the Study Area2
, with approximately 25 percent of these vehicles classified as heavy-duty or lighter trucks3
. Additional roadways within the western portion of the Study Area expected to 2 TJKM Transportation Consultants Traffic Study for the City of Patterson General Plan, 2010 3 State of California Department of Transportation, 2006 Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic on the California State Highway System

generate moderate noise levels are Sperry Avenue, Baldwin Road, and Ward Avenue. These roads are rural or transitional connector streets that may have occasionally fast-moving traffic, but are not heavily-traveled at night, causing only moderate levels of noise during the day. It is estimated that noise levels beyond about 65 feet of the centerline of Sperry Avenue are below 60 dBA.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108) was used to develop DNL contours for I-5, SR-33, and major local roadways. The FHWA Model is an analytical method favored by most state and local agencies, including Caltrans, for highway traffic noise prediction. The FHWA Model is based upon reference energy emission levels for automobiles, medium trucks (2 axles) and heavy trucks (3 or more axles), with consideration given to vehicle volume, speed, roadway configuration, distance to the receiver, and the acoustical characteristics of the site. The FHWA Model was developed to predict hourly Leq values for free-flowing traffic conditions, and is generally considered to be accurate to within ±1.5 dB. To determine DNL values, it is necessary to estimate the day/night distribution of traffic so that an hourly equivalent traffic volume may be calculated. The FHWA Model assumes a clear view of traffic with no shielding at the receiver location.
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes and speeds used for noise modeling were provided by TJKM Transportation Consultants, the project traffic engineers. The day/night distribution of traffic was estimated by BBA based upon studies along similar roadways. The percentage of trucks on I-5 and SR-33 were obtained from Caltrans. The percentage of trucks on major local streets was estimated by BBA based upon studies along similar roadways. It was assumed that Rogers Road north of Sperry Avenue is a truck route with higher percentages of trucks than other major local streets. Appendix 5.8 summarizes the noise modeling assumptions used to calculate traffic noise exposure for existing conditions along I-5, SR-33 and major local streets.
Table HS-5 summarizes calculated noise exposure at typical building setbacks and the distances to the DNL 60 and 65 dB contours for existing traffic conditions. Figure HS-5 shows the roadways where distances to DNL contours were calculated for existing traffic conditions. The streets are color coded to indicate the approximate distances to the 60 dB DNL contours. Traffic noise exposure information is generalized for flat terrain and the absence of acoustical shielding or reflections that may be caused by site-specific conditions.

Railroads
The California Northern Railroad (CFNR) currently operates freight trains over the Westside Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) through Patterson between Tracy and Los Banos.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration rail crossing inventory (01/01/96), an average of six trains per day pass through Patterson. It should be noted that this figure includes switching movements at local industries, and that, based upon field observations, this may be a high estimate for current operations over the line. Freight trains may occur at any time during the day or night. The current maximum train speed through Patterson is 25 mph.
There are approximately 20 public or private roadway grade crossings within the Study Area.
Train engineers are required to sound the warning horn when approaching within approximately 1,000 feet of a grade crossing. Train noise levels are therefore higher at locations near grade crossings. Due the number of grade crossings within the Study Area, warning horns are used frequently as trains pass through Patterson.
Noise levels produced by a northbound freight train with two locomotives and 15 cars were recorded by Brown-Buntin Associates, Inc. (BBA) near the M Street grade crossing on March 25, 2010. At a distance of 100 feet from the track, the measured maximum (Lmax) and Sound Exposure Level (SEL) values were 103.3 and 109.8 dBA, respectively. The SEL is a measure of total sound energy produced by a noise event, normalized to a reference duration of one second. The SEL is not actually heard but is the noise metric used for the calculation of cumulative noise exposure as defined by the DNL. Noise levels produced by passing trains are variable, depending upon speed, length of train, condition of equipment and tracks, perceived safety conflicts of individual train crews and other variables.
Railroad noise exposure within the City of Patterson was calculated based upon the abovedescribed operations data and noise level data for freight train movements recorded by BBA for numerous studies along the UPRR and other railroads in the Central Valley. At a distance of 100 feet from the center of the track, typical freight train pass-bys near a grade crossing have been shown to produce average SEL values of 106.3 dBA. At distances greater than 1,000 feet from a grade crossing, typical freight train pass-bys have been shown to produce average SEL values of 102.1 dBA at 100 feet from the tracks.
It was assumed for the calculations that freight train operations may occur at any time of the day or night. Within 1,000 feet of a grade crossing, the calculated distance to the 60 dB DNL contour for current railroad activity is 575 feet from the center of the tracks. At distances greater than 1,000 feet from a grade crossing, the calculated distance to the 60 dB DNL contour is 288 feet from the center of the tracks. Calculated distances are generalized and do not take into consideration site-specific conditions such as acoustic shielding or reflections caused by nearby buildings.
Aircraft Noise
The Patterson Airport and former Crow’s Landing Airfield Facility (CLAF) are located within or affecting the Study Area. Only the Patterson Airport is still active. The Patterson Airport is a private airport consisting of a single 2,500 foot-long runway. According to FAA records, there are 12 aircraft based at the airport and an average of 33 aircraft operations per day. However, no aircraft operations were observed during field studies and aircraft were not observed on the airfield. If aircraft operations do occur, they are sporadic and do not generate significant noise exposure as defined by the CNEL noise metric. However, such operations would be distinctly audible in the vicinity of the airport.
8.1.c
Packet Pg. 301 Attachment: Health & Safety Element Section - Updated MJHMP (Resolution No. 2023-17 Stanislaus County MJHMP Update) CITY of PATTERSON ~ General Plan
HS-31
Crows Landing Airfield is currently not in use. However, Stanislaus County has proposed that it be reopened as a general aviation airport as part of the Stanislaus County public airport system.
According to the January 2009 draft of the Crows Landing Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP), the airport would reopen with a single 5,300 foot-long runway with approximately 4,000 annual aircraft operations. In the “ultimate” configuration (20 years+), the airfield would have two parallel runways 6,300 feet long and 200,000 annual operations. Operations would be mostly single and twin engine propeller or turboprop aircraft and helicopters, with approximately 10% business jet operations. The airport design aircraft for the ultimate development of the airport is the Gulfstream III business jet.
Noise-Sensitive Land Uses
Noise-sensitive land uses are generally considered to include those uses that would result in noise exposure that could cause health-related risks to individuals. Places where quiet is essential are also considered noise-sensitive uses. Residential dwellings are of primary concern because of the potential for increased and prolonged exposure of individuals to both interior and exterior noise levels. Other land uses such as parks, historic sites, cemeteries, and recreation areas are also considered sensitive to increases in exterior noise levels. School classrooms, places of assembly, hotels, libraries, and other places where low interior noise levels are essential are also considered noise-sensitive land uses.

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 1 1 CITY OF PATTERSON
1.1 Purpose
This Annex summarizes the hazard mitigation elements specific to the City of Patterson. This Annex supplements the Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP); therefore, the Annex is not a stand-alone plan but intended to supplement the hazard information provided in the Base Plan document. All other sections of the Stanislaus County MJHMP, or Base Plan, including the sections on the planning process, countywide risk assessment, and procedural requirements related to plan implementation and maintenance apply to the City of Patterson. This Annex provides additional information specific to the City of Patterson, including details on the City’s profile, planning process, risk assessment, and mitigation strategy for the community.
1.2 Community Profile
1.2.1 Mitigation Planning History and 2021-2022 Process This Annex was created during the development of the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update. The City of Patterson did not participate in Stanislaus County’s 2017 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) process.
The City of Patterson also did not participate in a 2010-2011 Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (MJHMP) process with the County, which was approved by Stanislaus County on May 4, 2011. The City was not listed as a participating jurisdiction based on a letter from FEMA Region IX dated July 31, 2012.
Therefore, the City did not include or report on progress of any of the mitigation actions from a previous version of the MJHMP (a requirement only for plan updatres following the release of FEMA’s October 1, 2011 Local Mitigation Plan Review Guide). During the development of the 2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP update, this Annex is prepared to effectively represent a new and comprehensive plan for Patterson based on current development, demographics, and mitigation capabilities that addresses the City’s current hazards and vulnerabilities.
During the current update process, the City of Patterson followed the planning process detailed in Chapter 3 of the Base Plan. This planning process consisted of participation in the Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) and the formation of a smaller internal planning team referred to as the City’s Local Planning Committee (LPT). The LPT was organized to support the broader planning process, coordinate with the City departmental staff, and develop customized mitigation actions and projects specific to the City of Patterson. The City’s LPT is also responsible for the update, implementation, and maintenance of the plan. LPT members are listed in Appendix A.

Patterson lies in the heart of an agricultural region in the western San Joaquin Valley, about 15 miles southwest of the City of Modesto in Stanislaus County. The foothills of the Diablo Range provide a scenic backdrop to the west, and on clear days, the Sierra Nevada mountain range is visible to the east (City of Patterson 2010). Although the pace of development in Patterson has changed greatly in recent years, residents are mindful of protecting its small-town character and remembering its agricultural heritage: the self-proclaimed “Apricot Capital of the World.” The City is located 27 miles southeast of the City of Tracy, 17 miles southwest of Modesto, and 78 miles southeast of Oakland and is part of the Modesto Metropolitan Statistical Area. The San Joaquin River is located three miles to the east of the City and Interstate 5 is located to the west. At the base of the Diablo Range, the City is also the gateway along State Route (SR) 130 into Del Puerto Canyon.
The City receives an average annual precipitation of 12.21 inches and receives most of its precipitation from November through March (WRCC 2022). The City experiences its average monthly highest temperature in July (94.3 °F), and then its monthly lowest temperature in January (53.8 °F). Similar to the rest of Stanislaus County, the City of Patterson has a mild Mediterranean climate.
The City derives much of its economic vitality from agriculture, food processing, and distribution. It is also home to a rapidly expanding business park adjacent to Interstate 5. The City’s street layout features a circular format in the central district surrounded by radiating spokes. Patterson is also noted for its

1.2.3 History
In 1908 Thomas W. Patterson envisioned a land west of the San Joaquin River filled with irrigated farms that could be settled by families and platted the town in 1909. The town envisioned by Mr. Patterson was modeled after Washington D.C., with streets radiating outward from a central “hub” that served as the center of commerce and local government. The first buildings were the Patterson Ranch Company offices and the Del Puerto Hotel. The lots outside the town were divided into five-, ten-, and twenty-acre plots.

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 3 In December 1919, Patterson voted to become an incorporated city, and in the intervening years, much of Mr. Patterson’s vision became a reality. The first Planning Commission was formed in 1949 and the City created a Zoning Ordinance and Map in 1955. Today, the City supports a number of attractive residential neighborhoods with a variety of housing types, parks and schools. Shopping opportunities have been expanded to serve the day-to-day needs of Patterson residents. A vibrant and successful business park has been established that provides more and better-paying jobs. And the City boasts a wide range of community amenities that include a community swimming pool, a regional sports park, a senior center and an award-winning City Hall.
In 2009 the City faced new challenges related to the downturn in the economy related to the housing market crisis. During this time, home values plummeted and foreclosures were on the rise. While much of the City of Patterson has recovered from the impacts of the past downturn in the economy, it continues to grow and focus on meeting the needs of a growing community and balancing competing interests through the provision of housing and jobs, with the protection of the agricultural economy, and the conservation of scarce water resources.
1.2.4 Economy
The City of Patterson derives much of its economic vitality from agriculture, food processing, and distribution. It is also home to a rapidly expanding business park adjacent to I-5.According to Patterson’s 2010 General Plan, which covers two planning timeframes for the City – 20 years and 40 years into the future, Patterson, along with the other towns of in western Stanislaus County, has traditionally provided housing and support services for the surrounding agricultural operations that dominate the regional economy (City of Paterson 2010). However, that traditional role is changing. According to data published by the California Department of Finance (DOF), Patterson ranked third among the fastest-growing cities in the California in 2006, based on the percentage of population increase from the previous year. This growth is somewhat based on the increasing housing costs in the eastern San Francisco Bay area prompting residents to seek more affordable housing in the outlying communities. Although the additional development has brought much-needed housing, expanded opportunities for retail and job opportunities have not kept pace.

1.2.6 Disadvantaged Communities
The majority of the City falls within two census tracts, one census tract of which has a higher housing burden (6099003530`). Based on information from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) CalEnviroScreen tool, approximately 18% of the people residing with this census tract are housing burdened low income households. Housing-burdened low-income households are

Packet Pg. 311 Attachment: Health & Safety Element Section - Updated MJHMP (Resolution No. 2023-17 Stanislaus County MJHMP Update) 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex F: City of Patterson
Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 6 households that are both low income and highly burdened by housing costs. California has very high housing costs relative to the rest of the country, which can make it hard for households to afford housing ("CalEnviroScreen 4.0" 2021). Households with lower incomes may spend a larger proportion of their income on housing and may suffer from housing-inducted poverty ("CalEnviroScreen 4.0" 2021). In other words, there are approximately 1,365 housing units in the tract and about 675 of them are considered low income and 245 are considered housing burdened.
The OEHHA CalEnviroScreen tool applies a formula to generate a combined ranking score that considers 21 indicators for each census tract that cover pollution indicators, such as diesel emissions and concentrations of toxic clean-up sites and population indicators, such as poverty and unemployment rates.
The census tracts with CalEnviroScreen rankings between 75 and 100 percent (i.e., a combined score in the top 25 percent of all census tracts in the State) are considered to be disadvantaged communities (DACs). The census tract in the City of Patterson with a higher housing burden has a CalEnviroScreen ranking of 54, meaning the percent housing burdened is higher than 54% of the rest of California. The City can use this information to conduct targeted outreach and engage community members to consider what other hazards and mitigation strategies or programs should be considered to meet community needs. The City can also engage these communities to proactively prioritize hazard mitigation projects that benefit disadvantaged communities.
1.2.7 Development Trends
The City’s General Plan was adopted in 2010 and addressed the previous decade of growth in the Central Valley that resulted from residential development demand from 1998 to 2006 and the expansion of the local and regional economies (City of Patterson 2010). According to the City’s 2009-2014 Housing Element of the five communities nearest to the City, Patterson has been the fastest growing since 2000 and had an estimated 43 percent growth rate from 2000 to 2010. From 2010 through 2020, the City’s population growth slowed and averaged an estimated 11.8 percent growth. Major development projects within the City since 2003 consisted of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) approved expansion of the City’s SOI to accommodate the West Patterson Business Park Master Development Plan and the subsequent annexation of the plan area, including the Villa del Lago highway commercial center. Other subsequent development projects included the Villages of Patterson Apartment Project, which includes the Stonegate Villages Apartments that are now complete and the future phases still under building permit status review that are part of a 692-acre master plan development. Other business and commercial developments approved in the past decade included the Keystone Pacific Business Park and the Westridge Business Park. Figure 1-2 illustrates the land uses for the City of Patterson.

1.2.8 Future Development
The areas located in the SOI shown in Figure 1-3, which are the areas the City plans to grow into and be potentially slated for future development. Understanding the potential hazard exposure in the area can help to mitigate the impacts of events before development occurs in those areas.
The City regularly updates its building codes to meet minimum standards in the California Building Code (CBC) last updated in 2019. Compliance with the 2019 CBC ensures construction standards are met and hazards risks related to earthquake, landslides, flood, severe weather, and wildfire are minimized. The City also complies with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and all development must meet minimum flood protection standards set forth by FEMA. Participation in the 2021-2022 MJHMP update planning process also ensures the City of Patterson continually reviews and updates hazard information and takes this information into account when reviewing development applications. This process will help the City make better decisions on where, when, and how future development occurs.
During this plan update process parcel analysis was conducted using the SOI and overlaid with available hazard risk layers to determine where future development may be at risk of natural hazard events. The results of the analysis have been integrated into the applicable hazard sections: flood and wildfire. Table 1-7 is the summary of the SOI total exposure for the City of Patterson.

The City of Patterson LPT identified the hazards that affect the City and summarized their frequency of occurrence, spatial extent, potential magnitude, and significance specific to their community (see Table 2-1). There are no hazards that are unique to Patterson, although the flood and wildfire risks in the City are greater and distinct from the flood and wildfire risks in the County’s planning area. The purpose of this section is to profile the City of Patterson hazards and assess the City’s specific vulnerabilities.
The hazards profiled in the County MJHMP Base Plan discuss the overall impacts on the County’s planning area. This information is summarized in the hazard description, geographic extent, magnitude/severity, previous occurrences, and probability of future occurrences sections. The information in the City of Patterson’s risk assessment summarizes only those hazards that vary from the County’s planning area.
The hazard profile information is organized in a similar format here as a way to identify priority hazards for mitigation purposes.
Table 2-1 summarizes the hazards profiled in the County’s planning area and risk assessment to provide a way for the LPT to evaluate which hazards are addressed in their General Plan Safety Element and which hazards are relevant and priority hazards for the City. The City’s General Plan Health and Safety Element addresses safety issues including seismic events, flooding, and fire hazards. Among the hazards addressed in the City’s General Plan Health and Safety Element, earthquake, flood, and wildfire hazards are further addressed in this Annex. Dam incidents and wildfire hazards are addressed for planning and awareness purposes only; they are not priority hazards for the City.

2.1 Vulnerability Assessment
The intent of this section is to assess Patterson’s vulnerability that is separate from that of the planning area as a whole, which has already been assessed in Section 4 Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment in the Base Plan. For flood hazards, the vulnerability assessment analyzes the population, property, and other assets at risk to hazards ranked of medium or high significance. For the other hazard profiles, the City described the specific vulnerabilities in the community by developing problem statements that qualitatively summarize areas of concern associated with the hazards that vary from other parts of the County planning area. These specific vulnerabilities are referred to as “problem statements” in the risk assessment. The problem statements are based on the risk assessment mapping and modelling and where spatial data and maps are not available, they are based on specific input from the City LPT. With this information mitigation actions were then developed to address these specific vulnerabilities; this process provides the connection between the problem statement and the mitigation action.
8.1.c
Packet Pg. 316 Attachment: Health & Safety Element Section - Updated MJHMP (Resolution No. 2023-17 Stanislaus County MJHMP Update) 2022-2027 Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Annex F: City of Patterson
Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 11 The information to support the hazard identification and risk assessment was based on a combination of the previous LHMP for the County, the City’s Safety Element, and jurisdiction-specific information collected during the 2021 update. A Data Collection Guide and associated worksheets were distributed to each participating municipality or special district to complete during the update process in 2021. Information collected was analyzed and summarized in order to identify and rank all the hazards that could impact anywhere within the County, as well as to rank the hazards and identify the related vulnerabilities unique to each jurisdiction.
Each participating jurisdiction was in support of the main hazard summary identified in the Base Plan (see Table 4-2). However, as previously noted the hazard summary rankings for each jurisdictional Annex may vary due to specific hazard risks and vulnerabilities unique to that jurisdiction. The information in this Annex helps differentiate the jurisdiction’s risk and vulnerabilities from that of the overall County, where applicable.
Note: The hazard “Significance” reflects the overall ranking for each hazard and is based on a combination of the City of Patterson’s LPT input from the Data Collection Guide, the risk assessment developed during the planning process (see Section 4 of the Base Plan), and the set of problem statements developed by the City LPT. The hazard significance summaries in Table 2 1 above reflect the hazards that could potentially affect City. The discussion of vulnerability for each of the following hazards is located in Section
2.3 Estimating Potential Losses, which includes and an overview on the local issues and areas of concern associated with the hazard, a problem statement for the priority hazard, and a quantitative risk assessment, where spatial data is available. Based on this analysis, the priority hazards for mitigation purposes for the City of Patterson are identified below.
• Dam Incidents
• Drought
• Earthquake
• Extreme Heat
• Flood
Cyber Attack, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Severe Weather hazards were ranked significant hazards but are not addressed further in this vulnerability assessment as the risk and exposure is similar to the overall County risk and exposure, and the potential for losses are difficult to quantify specific to the City of Patterson. Additionally, hazards assigned a significance rating of Low and which do not differ significantly from the County ranking (e.g., Low vs. High) are not addressed further and are not assessed individually for specific vulnerabilities in this Annex. In the City of Patterson, those hazards include: Agriculture Pests and Disease, Aquatic Invasive Species, Dam Inundation, and Landslide (Mud/Debris Flow, Rockfall). For example, landslide hazard was assessed for the City and based on the analysis and mapping, landslide hazard did not result in significant vulnerabilities or impacts. The exception is that for dam incidents, the City LPT raised concern regarding a proposed project – Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir. Therefore, dam incidents is also profiled in this Annex. Wildfire hazards are also addressed for planning and public awareness purposes.
2.2 Assets
This section considers Patterson’s assets at risk, including values at risk, critical facilities and infrastructure, historic assets, economic assets and growth and development trends.
2.2.1 Property Exposure
The following data on property exposure is derived from the Stanislaus County 2021 Parcel and Assessor data. This data should only be used as a guideline for overall values in the City as the information has some limitations. It is also important to note that in the event of a disaster, it is generally the value of the infrastructure or improvements to the land that is of concern or at risk. Generally, the land itself is not a loss and is not included in the values below. Table 2-2 shows the exposure of properties (e.g., the values at risk) broken down by property type for the City of Patterson.

2.2.2 Critical Facilities and Infrastructure
For the purposes of this plan, a critical facility is defined as one that is essential in providing utility or direction either during the response to an emergency or during the recovery operation. FEMA sorts critical facilities into seven lifeline categories as shown in Figure 4-1 in the Base Plan. Table 2-3 shows a summary of the critical facilities within the City of Patterson. Critical facilities and other community assets as important to protect in the event of a disaster.

Natural resources are important to include in benefit-cost analyses for future projects and may be used to leverage additional funding for projects that also contribute to community goals for protecting sensitive natural resources. According to the City General Plan’s Natural Resources Element, the City’s important biological resources include foraging habitat and movement corridors for endangered wildlife species, riparian habitats along creeks, and other natural systems as they relate to both local and regional ecosystems. Awareness of natural assets can lead to opportunities for meeting multiple objectives. For instance, protecting wetlands areas protects sensitive habitat as well as attenuates and stores floodwaters.
2.3 Estimating Potential Losses
2.3.1 Dam Incidents
Protection from flood hazards created by dam failures is critical to the safety and well-being of Patterson residents. A dam vulnerability assessment was completed during the 2021 update, following the methodology described in Section 4 of the Base Plan. Dam inundation areas from the Don Pedro, Modesto Effluent Storage Areas, and New Exchequer dams win relation to the City of Patterson are shown in Figure 2-1. With the exception of the non-contiguous eastern portion of the City near the San Joaquin River, the dam inundation areas do not extend into the developed part of the City, and most of the City is not susceptible to dam incidents.

According to input received from the LPT during the plan update, the City’s LPT raised concerns regarding a proposed project – the Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir, which elevated the magnitude for potential dam incidents impact to critical facilities to limited. Del Puerto Water District (DPWD) and the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors Water Authority (Exchange Contractors) are partnering to construct and operate the Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir. This Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir would be located in Del Puerto Canyon in the Coast Range foothills west of the City of Patterson and south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, west of I-5. The reservoir would allow water to be delivered into storage during wetter periods until needed in drier periods for irrigation, groundwater recharge, or wildlife beneficial uses. This proposed project would improve water supply reliability for agriculture and wildlife refuges, increase flood protection for the nearby areas, support the local and regional economy, and enhance the management of groundwater and surface water. However, the project raises dam safety concerns and the project partners are working on addressing the concerns by ensuring the dam is designed and built to meet all current requirements of the California Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD), and all applicable federal dam safety requirements. The design would

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 15 also be based on a detailed seismic hazards analysis for several nearby faults to ensure that the dam can withstand the maximum credible earthquake on nearby faults.
Critical Facilities at Risk
According to the City’s input, Patterson Fire Station 52 would be affected if a dam built in Del Puerto Canyon were to breach. Station 52 also functions as an Emergency Operation Center.
Future Development
None of the parcels within the City’s SOI are within the dam inundation areas.
2.3.2 Drought
Four water purveyors provide water to portions of the City, including the City’s Utilities Services, the Patterson Irrigation District (PID), West Stanislaus Irrigation District, (WSID), and the Del Puerto Water District (DPWD). The portion of the City west of the California Aqueduct does not fall within a water service area; property owners in this area west of the City obtain water from private groundwater wells.
The City of Patterson supplies potable groundwater for residential, industrial, and commercial uses in the City through a combination of groundwater wells, storage tanks, and a water systems network. Their main potable water source is groundwater from the Delta-Mendota Subbasin within the San Joaquin River Hydrologic Region. The City operates nine groundwater wells with a total capacity of 9,600 gallons per minute; projected production is approximately 7,500 acre-feet per year. The local groundwater basin has production limits due to both competing uses of local groundwater, and although studies have confirmed that groundwater in the vicinity of the City is not over drafted, in recent years the City has explored diversifying its water supply through artificial recharge of supplementary sources, relying on surface water deliveries from different basins, and direct injection (City of Patterson 2010). The City has also adopted a Water Master Plan that identifies arterial water distribution pipelines, water storage tanks, pressure control devices, and groundwater wells needed to serve the City through buildout. Additionally, the City implements a Drought Contingency Plan as part of their Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) in the even that an extended drought impacts the groundwater supply.
2.3.3 Earthquake
The City of Patterson and surrounding areas' historical earthquake activity is below California’s state average. The Great Valley Thrust Fault System abuts Patterson’s western boundary. The Great Valley Thrust Fault System belongs to the Ortigalita Fault Zone, which is designated as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. This fault has not been active in historic times; however, there is no guarantee that it will never become active again. San Joaquin Fault, which is 15 miles south of Patterson, but which runs through the western portion of the City is also in the vicinity. Other nearby regional faults include the San Andreas fault zone, which is one of the longest and most active faults in California; the Hayward fault located east of San Francisco Bay to where it merges with the Calaveras Fault north of Hollister, and the Patterson Pass fault. The Patterson Pass fault runs northwest from the Alameda/San Joaquin County boundary toward Livermore; while its exact location is imprecise it generated a 4.5 magnitude earthquake in 1946 (City of Patterson 2010).
There is no record of any seismic activity originating within the City since 1881; however, the County of Stanislaus has been shaken by earthquakes that originated elsewhere. There is documented evidence of seven earthquakes that shook the Stanislaus County area, those of 1872, 1906, 1952, 1966, 1984, and 1989, and more recently in 2021 when residents felt the 6.0 magnitude earthquake centered in the Little Antelope Valley along the California/Nevada border (Gerike 2021). Minor damage has been recorded throughout the County from earthquakes with epicenters in surrounding areas, though major damage occurred from the 1906 Los Banos earthquake.
Based on the earthquake shaking potential mapped for Stanislaus County and the City of Patterson, due to the proximity to the Great Valley Thrust Fault System, Ortigalita Fault Zone and the San Joaquin Fault, and the history of shaking with no surface rupture, means the probability of damaging seismic ground shaking in the City of Patterson is considered as occasional. However, the City of Patterson did show high economic losses in the event of an earthquake, suggesting the presence of susceptible buildings and infrastructure (refer to Chapter 4 of the Base Plan). According to the City’s LPT there are unreinforced masonry (URM) constructed buildings in the City, but an inventory has not been completed that identifies these buildings. The City’s LPT also mentioned that at Patterson Fire Station 51’s apparatus bay, where

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 16 fire engines are parked, there are no reinforcement cinder block walls but only just blocks that are stacked up.
The activity of major faults outside Stanislaus County also suggests that the City could be subject to the effects of an earthquake in the future. Other hazards associated with earthquake activity, such as lateral spreading, surface cracking or differential setting, are considered unlikely to occur, although no studies have been conducted to determine the likelihood of these hazards.
2.3.4 Extreme Heat
While freeze events are not a common occurrence in the City of Patterson, the frequency of heat waves has been increasing in recent years across the County and the City of Patterson. As noted in the County Base Plan, climate change will continue to cause more extreme heat events and studies show that, by the end of this century, the number of days with temperatures reaching or exceeding 100°F is projected to increase as a result of climate change. As temperatures rise and extreme heat events last longer and become more severe and frequent, they will result in a rise in health problems and deaths caused by heat.
Some households in the City of Patterson lack air conditioning systems, and the City may need to add cooling centers or upgrade existing facilities with new HVAC equipment and permanent backup power to provide the community with a safe and cool place during extreme heat events. The City’s LPT mentioned focusing especially on DACs, such as those that are homeless, senior and disabled. The LPT noted that cooling centers need to cover the entire geographic extent of the City and be closer to the DACs. The LPT also mentioned that churches instead of business units would be more suitable as cooling centers; therefore coordination with faith-based groups and other community-based organizations should be promoted.
2.3.5 Flood and Levee Failure
The primary types of flood events in Stanislaus County that may impact the City of Patterson are riverine and local urban flooding. Regardless of the type of flood, the cause is often the result of severe weather and excessive rainfall, either in the flood area, upstream, or from winter snowmelt.
Areas in the eastern part of the City of Patterson have been determined to be in the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SHFA) or 100-year floodplain. The physical risks associated with potential flooding and the regulatory requirements for floodplain management are important considerations when decisions are being made regarding future land use throughout the City. Parts of the City may also be vulnerable to localized stormwater flooding during severe storms. The rest of Patterson lies outside the 0.2% and 1% annual chance floodplains designated by FEMA. Based on the history of flooding in the County of Stanislaus, the City of Patterson and surrounding areas are considered likely to have the hazard potential for future flooding.
A flood vulnerability assessment was completed during the 2021 update, following the methodology described in Section 4 of the Base Plan. FEMA 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains within the City of Patterson are shown in
Figure 2-2. As shown in
Figure 2-2, more properties fall within the 0.2% annual chance floodplains than 1% annual chance floodplains. Table 2-5 and Table 2-6 summarize the values at risk in the City’s 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains.

The potential loss is estimated at around $25.8 million if these areas were inundated by the 1% annual chance flood. In addition, the City of Patterson has 4,458 improved parcels located within the 0.2 annual chance floodplain for a total value of around $1.6 billion.
The potential loss is estimated at around $388.7 million if these areas were inundated by the 0.2% annual chance flood. The population at risk was calculated for the 1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains based on the number of residential properties at risk and the average number of persons per household (3.7).
There are an estimated 1,536 persons at risk to 1% annual chance flood and 15,814 persons at risk to
0.2% annual chance flood in the City of Patterson.

2.3.6 Landslide
As shown in Figure 2-5, deep-seated landslide susceptibility is high within the Diablo Mountain foothills, which abuts the City’s western boundary. Therefore, landslide hazard is rated a medium significance hazard, although there is little deep-seated landslide susceptibility within the City Limits. As such, this hazard is profiled for planning and awareness purposes and is not a priority hazard for the City.

Capabilities are the programs and policies currently in use to reduce hazard impacts or that could be used to implement hazard mitigation activities. This capabilities assessment is divided into five sections:
regulatory mitigation capabilities, administrative and technical mitigation capabilities, fiscal mitigation capabilities, mitigation outreach and partnerships, and other mitigation efforts. To develop this capability assessment, the LPT representatives reviewed a matrix of common mitigation activities to inventory which of these policies or programs and shared any updates or changes through the Patterson Data Collection Guide. The team then supplemented this inventory by reviewing additional existing policies, regulations, plans, and programs to determine if they contribute to reducing hazard-related losses.
During the plan update process, this inventory was reviewed by the jurisdictional planning representatives and Wood consultant team staff to update information where applicable and note ways in which these capabilities have improved or expanded. Additionally, in summarizing current capabilities and identifying gaps, the jurisdictional planning representatives also considered their ability to expand or improve upon existing policies and programs as potential new mitigation strategies. The City of Patterson’s capabilities are summarized below.
3.1 Regulatory Capability
The regulatory and planning capabilities table lists planning and land management tools typically used by local jurisdictions to implement hazard mitigation activities. The table below indicates those that are in place in the City of Patterson.

Patterson 2030 General Plan (2010)
The Patterson General Plan covers two planning timeframes – 20 years and 40 years into the future. The plan analyzes issues of importance to the community, sets forth policies in text and diagrams for conservation and development, and outlines specific programs for implementing these policies. By focusing attention on the issues facing the community and placing them in an expanded time frame, the General Plan helps citizens see their community as a complex system- a living entity that grows and responds to problems and opportunities - and it helps to guide the community.
The General Plan serves to establish within local government the capacity to analyze local and regional conditions and needs in order to respond effectively to the problems and opportunities facing the community. The General Plan identifies the community’s environmental, social, and economic goals as well as records the local government’s policies and standards for the maintenance and improvement of existing development and the location and characteristics of future development. Moreover, the City’s General Plan provides citizens with information about their community and with opportunities to participate in the local planning and decision-making process. It also establishes a basis for subsequent planning efforts, such as preparation of specific plans, redevelopment plans, and special studies, to deal with unique problems or areas in the community.

Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance Title 17
The purpose of the City’s Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance is to promote public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas by provisions designed. The ordinance aims to protect human life and health, as well as minimize the expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects, the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public. The Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance is also in place to minimize prolonged business interruptions and damage to public facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, and streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard. Moreover, the Ordinance helps maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard to minimize future blighted areas caused by flood damage. The Ordinance also ensures that potential buyers are notified that a property is in an SFHA and that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.
Urban Storm Water Quality Management and Discharge Control, Chapter 13.32 The purpose of this Urban Storm Water Quality Management and Discharge Control Ordinance is to protect and promote the health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City by controlling non-stormwater discharges to the stormwater conveyance system from spills, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater, and by reducing pollutants in urban stormwater discharges to the maximum extent practicable.
The ordinance also intends to assist in the protection and enhancement of the water quality of watercourses, water bodies and wetlands in a manner consistent with the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq.), by reducing pollutants in stormwater discharges to the maximum extent practicable, and through prohibiting non-stormwater discharges into the storm drain system.

3.4 Outreach and Partnerships
The Stanislaus Office of Emergency Services (OES) is responsible for the day-to-day administration of Stanislaus County's disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery programs. OES develops and maintains the Stanislaus County Emergency Operations Plan and its associated annexes. OES also coordinates training, planning and exercises for first responders throughout the Stanislaus Operational Area. According to Stanislaus County OES’ 2021 – Emergency Management Strategic Plan, OES listed “increase number of outreach engagements (i.e. meetings, events) as an action item to achieve one of its strategic goals, which is to build a culture of preparedness. The Stanislaus County OES will work with community partners to develop agreements for mutual aid, facilitate discussion with partners regarding preparedness planning, conduct outreach activities to engage residents, and attend emergency management trainings and conferences to stay up to date with the most current practices for disaster preparedness.
Moreover, the Stanislaus County OES protects the public’s safety by developing and maintaining general and specific preparedness programs for the County and its nine cities. The OES educates and informs the public in the areas of emergency preparedness and fire prevention.
During the 2021-2022 planning process the following outreach efforts were identified that the City of Patterson could support related to hazard mitigation:
• Outreach through the City’s Floodplain Management Program • Fire Prevention School Programs
• Flood Zone Informational Webpages
• FEMA Informational Brochures
• Mid San Joaquin-Regional Flood Management Plan
• Social Media (Facebook, Instagram)

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 31 Education and outreach efforts, as well as emergency response planning, will need to address the needs of low-income residents, DACs, and the large Spanish-speaking population. The City’s LPT noted that this additional coordination with faith-based organizations should be encouraged among City departments.
3.5 Other Mitigation Efforts
In addition to the projects identified in the City’s Mitigation Action plan, the City of Patterson’s Department conducts annual fire and life safety inspections for all businesses. The Public Works Department provides a sandbag program during local rain/flooding events. City staff also participate in National Incident Management System (NIMS) training through OES as well as First Aid, CPR, and AED contracted training.
Furthermore, the City’s General Plan Update and the 6th Cycle Housing Element are in process, with anticipated completion in 2022/2023. The General Plan will incorporate the 2022-2027 Stanislaus MJHMP and the City of Patterson Annex by reference.
3.6 Opportunities for Enhancement
Based on the capability assessment, the City of Patterson has existing regulatory, administrative/technical, and fiscal mechanisms in place that help to mitigate hazards. In addition to these existing capabilities, there are opportunities for the City to expand or improve on these policies and programs to further protect the community. These are organized below by regulatory, administrative/technical, fiscal, and outreach opportunities.
Regulatory Opportunities
Future opportunities for regulatory enhancement should focus on compliance with Assembly Bill 2140, including amending the City of Patterson General Plan Safety Element to incorporate the 2021-2022 Stanislaus County MJHMP and City of Patterson Annex by reference.
Administrative/Technical Opportunities
Other future enhancements may include providing hazard training for staff or hazard mitigation grant funding in partnership with Stanislaus County and Cal OES. Existing City staff are aware of the benefits of participating in training and webinars offered by Cal OES Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) Team related to HMGP opportunities, HMGP Sub application Development support, and other funding programs, such as Prepare California Jumpstart. Other opportunities may be related to coordinating and educating key stakeholders in the City. Each stakeholder group has been involved in the development of the LHMP and may be interested in aligning efforts related to hazard mitigation and also supporting HMGP Sub applications and other hazard mitigation trainings.
Fiscal Opportunities
The City can update other plans, such as their CIP to incorporate hazard information and include hazard mitigation actions and climate adaptation strategies that relate to infrastructure systems resiliency associated with the water and wastewater systems. Once projects related to hazard mitigation are approved, the recent CIP can be shared with the community on the City’s webpage. Capital investments and improvements related to seismic retrofits, cooling center upgrades, and WWTP upgrades should all be emphasized in the outreach materials as they are related to hazard mitigation. Additionally, given the prioritization of local stormwater flooding mitigation projects, the City should apply for HMGP grants to fund implementation costs associated with key CIP projects, and related projects in the City’s mitigation strategy.
These fiscal capabilities may be supported by City staff or augmented with Consultant staff.
Outreach Opportunities
The City can also expand their outreach capabilities related to the implementation of the 2022-2027 Stanislaus County MJHMP and the City of Patterson Annex. Specific enhancements may include continued public involvement through social media posts and advertisements focused on projects successes related to the Annex Mitigation Strategy and focused outreach to under-represented and special-interest groups in the City. The City can also develop outreach kits for partner organizations.

Stanislaus County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan | 2022-2027 Update Page 32 4 MITIGATION STRATEGY
4.1 Goals and Objectives
The City of Patterson adopts the hazard mitigation goals and objectives developed by the HMPC and described in Section 5 Mitigation Strategy of the Base Plan. Like the Mitigation Strategy in the Base Plan, this section outlines the City’s roadmap for future hazard mitigation administration and implementation. The purpose of the strategy is to reduce vulnerabilities from key priority hazards outlined in the risk assessment through regulatory tools and projects.
4.2 Continued Compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program The City has been an NFIP participating community since 1979. In addition to the mitigation actions identified herein the City will continue to comply with the NFIP. Floodplain management is under the purview of the City’s Public Works Department Environmental Programs. Floodplain Management and Stormwater Management are two separate programs, in additional to Water Resources under the Public Works Departments. The Floodplain Management Program oversees the City’s participation with the NFIP and regulates and implements the City’s Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance. This Program also provides NFIP information and mapping and insurance services. Similarly, the City’s Storm Water Management Program oversees the City’s storm drainage system to prevent flooding and protect water quality. The City’s Water Resources are managed by the Water Resources Program and Utilities Services through the City’s groundwater well network and water supply system. Together, these various departments enforce local floodplain development regulations, issue permits for appropriate development in SFHAs and ensure that this development is mitigated in accordance with the regulations. This also includes periodic reviews of the Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance to ensure that it is clear and up to date and reflects new or revised flood hazard mapping.
4.3 Mitigation Actions
The LPT for the City identified and prioritized the following new mitigation actions based on risk assessments, goals, and objectives. Background information as well as information on how the action will be implemented and administered, such as ideas for implementation, responsible office, partners, potential funding, estimated cost, and timeline also are described. Because the City did not participate in the 2017 LHMP, the LPT did not have existing mitigation actions to review and did not provide status updates on past hazard mitigation planning efforts.
The mitigation strategy includes only those actions and projects which reflect the actual priorities and capacity of the jurisdiction to implement over the next five years covered by this plan. It should further be noted, that although a jurisdiction may not have specific projects identified for each significant (medium or high) hazard for the five-year coverage of this planning process, each jurisdiction has focused on identifying those projects which are realistic and reasonable for them to implement. Should future projects be identified for priority hazards where the implementing jurisdiction has the capacity to implement, the jurisdiction would add those projects to their Annex. The City also recognizes that other mitigation actions proposed in the County’s mitigation strategy will cover the significant hazards in the City that are not currently linked to a mitigation action.

Moving forward, the City will use the mitigation action table in the previous section to track the progress on the implementation of each project. Implementation of the plan overall is discussed in Section 6 in the Base Plan.
5.1 Incorporation into Existing Planning Mechanisms
The information contained within this plan, including results from the Vulnerability Assessment, and the Mitigation Strategy will be used by the City to help inform updates and the development of local plans, programs and policies. The Public Works Department and Engineering, Building, and Capital Projects Division may utilize the hazard information when implementing the City’s Capital Program and their CIP.
The City’s Engineering, Building, and Capital Project Department can incorporate the hazard information and vulnerability assessment into their Capital Projects Division efforts related to the planning, design, and construction of capital projects and the Community Development and Planning Divisions may utilize the hazard information when reviewing a site plan or other types of development applications. The City will also incorporate this MJHMP into the Safety Element of their General Plan, as recommended by Assembly Bill (AB) 2140.
As noted in Section 6 of the Base Plan, the LPT representatives from Patterson will report on efforts to integrate the hazard mitigation plan into local plans, programs and policies and will report on these efforts at the annual LPT plan review meeting.
5.2 Monitoring, Evaluation and Updating the Plan
The City will follow the procedures to monitor, review, and update this plan in accordance with Stanislaus County as outlined in Section 6 of the Base Plan. The city will continue to involve the public in mitigation, as described in Section 6.2.1 of the Base Plan. The Police Chief, Director of Engineering, Building, and Capital Projects, Public Works Director, City Planner, and Battalion Chief will be responsible for representing the City LPT in the County HMPC, and for coordination with City staff and departments during plan updates. The City realizes it is important to review the plan regularly and update it every five years in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act Requirements as well as other State of California requirements.

To whom this may concern,
Please consider my application for a seat opening on the City of Patterson's Planning Commission. I have experience in instituting guidelines and stakeholder outreach during my time at the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Energy Commission (CEC).
At SACOG, I collected and reviewed data from other state transit agencies for the Regional Bike & Pedestrian Funding Program grant, which secured $500k in funding. I prepared briefings to inform senior management with recommendations on which bicycle and pedestrian counter technologies to acquire.
At Caltrans, I coordinated the policy advisory committee for the California Transportation Plan 2040 (CTP) to collaborate with internal and extemal stakeholders to help guide statewide policies. I conducted public workshops for the CTP to solicit information required to develop reports and regulations. I assisted in the development of the Caltrans Vulnerability Assessment Reports by performing technical evaluations of climate change impacts.
At CEC, I have worked on the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Online System certifring renewable energy technologies in order for them attain renewable energy credits. I supported the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Programs enforcement efforts through investigating suspected non-compliant building permits. Currently, I work on implementing the Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) Program by developing tools to process incentives being offered to electric customers providing load reduction and back up generation during extreme heat events.
The opportunity to display my experience in transportation and city planning as well as program implementation excites and motivates me to come to work every day. It would be an honor to be a part of the City of Patterson's Planning Commission. I appreciate your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Michael Sidhu
