ORDINANCE NO. XX-2022

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA AMENDING CHAPTER 16.82 OF THE RANCHO CORDOVA MUNICIPAL CODE

RELATING TO CERTAIN SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES WITHIN

THE SUNCREEK SPECIFIC PLAN AREA

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Purpose and Declarations.

WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cordova (“City”) has previously adopted an Ordinance adding Chapter 16.82 to the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code for the establishment of development impact fees to finance the cost of public facilities within the SunCreek Specific Plan Area; and
WHEREAS, the Cordova Recreation and Park District (“CRPD”) is the park provider to establish park requirements, parks plans and recreation programs and services within the SunCreek Specific Plan Area; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the Ordinance to clearly identify CRPD as the parks provider within the SunCreek Specific Plan Area.

SECTION 2. Amendment of Code. Section 16.82.115 “Establishment and Administration of the SunCreek Specific Plan Park Development Fund” is hereby amended in its entirety to read:
(a) There is hereby created a special interest-bearing account entitled the SunCreek Specific Plan Park Development Fund. All amounts collected from park development fees from the SunCreek Specific Plan Area pursuant to this chapter or pursuant to a City Development Agreement shall be placed in said fund and shall be reimbursed to CRPD solely to pay the costs for park improvements constructed by CRPD in the SunCreek Specific Plan Area or credited to developers for park improvements authorized by CRPD to be constructed by developer in the SunCreek Specific Plan Area. (b) The Park Development Fund shall be administrated by the Director, or designee.

SECTION 3. Amendment of Code. Chapter 16.82.195 “Credit or Reimbursement for Construction of Park and Recreation Facilities”, subsection (a) is hereby amended in its entirety to read:

ITEM 20.2. ATTACHMENT 1
Ordinance No. XX-2022 Page 2 of 3
(a) Upon application by the property owner or his authorized agent, CRPD as the park facilities provider may authorize the construction of any park and recreation facilities, or portions thereof, as designed in the SunCreek Specific Plan Development Impact Fee Program in lieu of all, or a portion of, the park improvement Development Fee required by the City’s Development Agreement and this chapter and may enter into a credit agreement pursuant to subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this section or may enter into a reimbursement agreement pursuant to subsections (e), (f), and (g) of this section. If so authorized, the credit to be provided to the property owner shall be equal to the estimated cost of the facility as set forth in a Park Development Agreement with CRPD, or otherwise as authorized by CRPD, in effect at the time when the credit agreement is approved. The construction of any facility authorized by this section must first be approved by CRPD or otherwise authorized by said park facilities provider, prior to credit being given and issuance of any of the approvals set forth in Section 16.82.130.

SECTION 4. CEQA. Approval of this Ordinance Amendment is exempt from further environmental review under the general rule in California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Ordinance Amendment is statutorily exempt from CEQA under Pub. Res. Code Section 21080(b)(8)(D) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15273(a)(4) because it involves the establishment of fees for the purpose of obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain services within the SunCreek Specific Plan Area.

SECTION 5. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the Ordinance, including the application of such part or provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

To this end, provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be held unconstitutional, invalid, or unenforceable.

SECTION 6. Effective Date. Within fifteen (15) days after adoption, a Summary of this Ordinance shall be published once in the Grapevine Independent, or the Sacramento Bee, a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in Sacramento County and circulated in the City of Rancho Cordova, in accordance with Government Code section 36933. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption and, pursuant to Government Code section 66017(a), the fees established hereby shall be effective 60 days after the adoption of this Ordinance.

ITEM 20.3.

DATE: December 5, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Adam Lindgren, City Attorney
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO

CORDOVA AND ON BEHALF OF COMMISSIONS AND COMMITTEES

CREATED BY THE CITY COUNCIL PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION 54952(B) CONFIRMING THE STATE OF
EMERGENCY UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 8625,

RECOGNIZING CONTINUED MEASURES TO PROMOTE SOCIAL

DISTANCING, AND RE-AUTHORIZING REMOTE TELECONFERENCE
MEETINGS OF THE CITY FOR THE PERIOD FROM DECEMBER 5,
2022 THROUGH JANUARY 4, 2023

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would allow the City Council and the City’s other legislative bodies to continue to meet via teleconference (“virtually”) in a manner substantially similar to the manner in which they have met during the COVID-19 pandemic, if a proclaimed State of Emergency remains in effect and other requirements are satisfied.

BACKGROUND
All meetings of the City Council and the City’s other legislative bodies are open and public, as required by the Ralph M. Brown Act, Government Code section 54950 et seq., so that any member of the public may attend, participate, and watch the City’s legislative bodies conduct their business. On March 17, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 suspending certain provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act in order to allow local legislative bodies to conduct virtual meetings to slow the spread of COVID19. As a result of Executive Order N-29-20, City Staff set up virtual meetings for the City Council and other City legislative bodies. On June 11, 2021, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-08-21, which, effective September 30, 2021, ended the provisions of Executive Order N-29-20 that allowed local legislative bodies to conduct meetings telephonically or by other means.

On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361 (“AB 361”), which allows local legislative bodies to continue to conduct meetings via teleconferencing under specified

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 3

conditions. AB 361 took effect upon the expiration of Executive Order N-29-20 on October 1, 2021. On September 20, 2021, the City Council held a meeting in compliance with AB 361’s requirements for remote meetings.

In order for AB 361 to remain effective for meetings of the City’s legislative bodies, the City Council is required to make specified findings every 30 days. AB 361 allows a legislative body to continue holding meetings utilizing teleconferencing without complying with the standard teleconferencing requirements if a State of Emergency is proclaimed under Government Code section 8625, the City has reconsidered the emergency conditions, and if the local Public Health Officer continues to recommend social distancing measures to protect the public’s health and safety during local government meetings. These conditions are present.

Governor Newsom’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is still in effect. The potential spread of COVID-19 continues to threaten public health and safety during indoor public gatherings, including indoor gatherings of the Rancho Cordova City Council and other Rancho Cordova legislative bodies. In addition, the Sacramento County Public Health Officer continues to recommend teleconferencing or social distancing to protect the public’s health and safety during local government meetings.

SUMMARY
The attached Resolution makes the required findings that the current conditions exist to allow teleconference meetings pursuant to AB 361 for the City Council and on behalf of all of the legislative bodies commissions and committees created by the City Council pursuant to Government Code section 54952(b). This will allow members of the public to safely observe and participate in local government meetings during the pandemic.

If a meeting is held via teleconference under AB 361, the following requirements apply:

1.Notices and agenda requirements remain the same under the Brown Act;

2.No physical location is required for public attendance or public comment.However, the public must be able to access and participate in the meeting through a call-in or an internet-based service, and instructions for how to participate must appear in the posted notices or agenda;

3.Teleconference meetings must protect the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public;

4.If there is any disruption of the call-in or internet-based service, the agency must suspend the meeting until the problem is fixed;

5.Legislative bodies may allow public comments to be submitted prior to a meeting but must also allow the public to participate in real time through call-in or internet-based service;

6.If an internet-based service requires registration through a third-party, individuals can be required to register with the third-party to participate in the meeting; and

7.When providing a public comment period, whether after each item or during a general comment period, a legislative body must allow reasonable time for members of the public to comment and must also include reasonable time for members to register with a third-party host if applicable.

RECOMMENDATION

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution will allow the Rancho Cordova Police Department to accept a grant from the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) in the amount of $40,000 and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the grant agreement.

BACKGROUND
The Rancho Cordova Police Department submitted a grant application to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and was awarded $40,000.

The goals and objectives for this funding will focus on the following:
 Continue Minor Decoy/Shoulder Tap operations
 Implement general enforcement operations around problem areas

RECOMMENDATION
That Council find the initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration with mitigation measures that was prepared and circulated pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the project to be adequate; and adopt the Resolution for a Major Design Review for The Residences at Capital Center project.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would adopt the Initial Study-Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve the Applicant’s request for a Major Design Review for 177-townhomes for rent and for a 240-unit multi-family development.

BACKGROUND
This project was taken to City Council on November 21, 2022. City Council acted on the item and made a motion to approve the project. However, it has come to our attention that the project recommendation was agendized incorrectly. Therefore, the project is returning to City Council for re-approval with the correct agenda information. Only the

City Council Staff Report – Page 2 of 16
recommended action of the project has been updated to reflect the correct entitlements.

No other aspects of the project, or its attachments have been modified.

The approximately 23-acre site is located along Kilgore Road between International Drive and White Rock Road (See Figure 1). The property is zoned Office Professional Mixed Use (OPMU) by the City Zoning Code and is located within the Office Mixed Use (OMU) designation of the General Plan.

A small portion of the property is also located within the Surface Mining Overlay (SMO) of the City’s Zoning Code. The intent of the SMO is the ensure that land that is disturbed for surface mining operations, is regulated and lands are reclaimed to a usable condition readily adaptable for alternative land uses. This project does not propose any mining or extraction of materials and although a portion of the property is located within this overlay, the regulations and standards of the section would not be applicable.

Figure 1: Project Location

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
An application was received on December 16, 2021 for a Major Design Review for The Residences at Capital Center. The project property is located adjacent to the San Juan Soccer Club fields and follows along the Folsom South Canal to International Drive. The project The Residences at
Capital Center

City Council Staff Report – Page 3 of 16
consists of two separate residential projects, the north portion consisting of 177 townhome units and the south portion consisting of a 240-unit multi-family development. A small commercialretail component has also been included along Kilgore Road that will be developed at a later date. A condition of approval has been included that requires this property to submit for a design review and any other applicable permit once a tenant/occupant has been determined.

MAJOR DESIGN REVIEW
Site Plan
The project consists of two residential components and a small commercial component designed to be integrated between each other to create an overall community referenced as The Residences of Capital Center. The townhomes will occupy approximately 12-acres with an additional 0.925 additional acres designated for a commercial component, while the multi-family development occupies approximately 9-acres.

Townhomes
The requested Major Design Review includes a 177-unit residential component consisting of 28 two-story townhome units and 149 three-story townhome units for rent located on approximately 12-acres of the overall project site. The townhome component will also include its own amenities on-site that consist of a 7,200 square foot single-story clubhouse for residents with pool and fitness center, and also outdoor amenities such as an additional pool/spa, children’s playground, dog park, and barbeque, and lounge areas.

Vehicle Access and Parking
The main access for the townhome component will be through a gated promenade entrance along Kilgore Road. There is no public vehicular access between the townhomes and the apartments however, there will be one Emergency Vehicle Access (EVA) point connecting the two components and an additional EVA connection to Crawford Drive.

The townhomes will be meeting parking requirements as required by Chapter 23.719 for singlefamily homes by providing a 2-car garage for each unit as well as an additional 103 surface parking spaces for guests. The project proposes a front-loaded product (Building Type A) as well as an alley loaded paseo style product (Building Type B) throughout the area.

Although the development of the commercial component has not been included as part of this application, the site plan has incorporated a separate parking area to accommodate future retail (see green area in Figure 3). Any future tenant will need to submit for a separate design review and any additional permits that may be required, at which point the site will be reviewed in more depth to ensure property parking and site requirements.

Figure 3: Townhomes Site Plan

City Council Staff Report – Page 5 of 16
Architecture & Design
Of the 177 total units proposed for the townhomes, 149 of those units are shown as three-story alley loaded while 28 of the units, located mostly around the northeast corner of the site, are shown as two-story front-loaded products (see Figure 3). The units have a paseo style design, facing interior pedestrian walkways throughout with some units along the outer edge, facing Kilgore Road and a pedestrian walkway surrounding the property. The Applicant has proposed a modern-contemporary design with building materials consisting of stucco, dark metals, and wood tiling, that will be encompassed throughout the property and adjacent multi-family development, discussed further in this report. The materials and color board also lists the building colors as a variation of white, gray, and a stucco accent color of Sherwin Williams’ “Rocky River” which is a blue/green accent color.

In Figures 4 and 5 below, townhome elevations that have been shown are examples of twostory townhomes and three-story townhomes. However, throughout the project there are a variety of building sizes depending upon how many units are combined together. The examples chosen below are a 5-plex two-story townhome, specifically the (rear) elevation that would be visible from the San Juan Soccer Field, and highlighted in yellow in Figure 3. The 6-plex threestory elevation shown is specifically the (front) elevation that would be visible along Kilgore Road and is highlighted in blue in Figure 3. All other elevations can be seen in Attachment 2:

Project Plans.

City Council Staff Report – Page 6 of 16
Figure 5: Three-Story Townhome Elevation (6-Plex visible along Kilgore Road) Site Amenities
The townhome component will also include a variety of amenities available to the residents.

Amenities include a single-story 7,200 SF clubhouse building with accompanying fitness center, lap pool, spa, children’s playground, a large outdoor patio area and lounge. The clubhouse has been designed consistent with the contemporary modern design of the townhomes and includes similar stucco, wood tile, and dark metal materials throughout.

Multi-Family Development
The Residences at Capital Center also includes a multi-family apartment community adjacent on an approximately 9 acres adjacent to the townhome component. The proposed development includes a total of 240 apartment units spread across nine (9) 3-story walk up apartment buildings. The development will also include a variety of amenities similar to those included as part of the townhome component.

City Council Staff Report – Page 8 of 16
Vehicle Access and Parking
The main entrance for the multi-family development would be through Crawford Drive which directly connects to Kilgore Road. The main entrance will be gated for limited access. Although these access points would not be available for public ingress and egress, the apartment community would also have two (2) EVA points for emergency vehicles including the shared EVA point that connects the townhomes to the apartment community and another EVA point that connects directly to International Drive (See Figure 7).

The project has also been reviewed to ensure that the project as proposed is meeting all parking requirements for multi-family development. Per Chapter 23.719 of the City of Rancho Cordova Zoning Code, required parking is determined by the size of each unit with an additional

0.2 spaces required per unit for guest parking. The parking requirement for the development is broken down as follows:

Size of Unit Parking
requirement # of units proposed # of spaces required
1 Bedroom 1 space per unit 114 114
2 Bedroom 2 spaces per unit 126 252
+ Guest 0.2 spaces per unit Total 240 Units 48
Total 414
Figure 7: Multi-Family Development Site Plan

City Council Staff Report – Page 9 of 16
The proposed project includes a combination of carports and open area parking spaces totaling 430, which is above the minimum 414 requirement and therefore provides more than adequate parking for the development. In addition to vehicle parking, the project is also required to provide a minimum bicycle parking of at least 5% of the total required parking. This would require that the project include at minimum 21 bicycle space for residents on-site. The clubhouse that is included as part of the apartment development will include a bike storage room accessible only to residents that will be able to accommodate the required bike parking spaces.

Architecture & Design
The overall design of the multi-family development includes a total of nine (9) 3-story buildings designed consistent with the modern-contemporary architectural style of the adjacent townhomes. The project includes similar building materials consisting of stucco, dark metals, and wood tiling to maintain the overall design concept of the entire project. The multi-family development will also maintain a consistent color scheme with a variation of whites, gray, and a stucco accent color of Sherwin Williams’ “Rocky River”.

Figure 8: Apartment Elevations (Building A)

City Council Staff Report – Page 10 of 16
The project includes two (2) 36-plex apartment buildings (Building B) with seven (7) 24-plex apartment buildings (Building A). Both buildings that will be rear facing along International Drive, will be Building A, which has been shown in Figure 8: Apartment Elevations. Elevations for Building B can be found in Attachment 2: Project Plans.

Site Amenities
The multi-family development will also provide a similar variety of amenities available to the apartment residents on-site. Amenities include a two-story 7,400 SF clubhouse building with leasing office and fitness center. The clubhouse area also includes an outdoor pool and spa, open space dog park area as well as an outdoor patio, barbeque, and lounge areas. The clubhouse is proposed to be compatible with the design of the apartment buildings, utilizing similar building materials and colors for its design.

Figure 9: Apartment Clubhouse Elevations

City Council Staff Report – Page 11 of 16
Pedestrian Walkability
The proposed project provides a significant number of interior pathways and connections for residents within the project as well as additional features off-site to enhance access to areas outside the project boundaries.

The townhomes have been designed to be paseo style with pathways between buildings to provide access to front doors and to the clubhouse and other amenities on-site. The Multifamily development will also provide direct pedestrian connections to their clubhouse building and amenities as well. Pedestrian gates will allow cross access between both developments and will also enhance walkability to the future development of the commercial component at the northwest corner of the project. The 0.85-mile walking loop surrounding the entire property is also include as a recreational amenity for residents and includes multiple connections to internal walkways for easy access at any location throughout the project. The internal walkways as well as the highlighted “walking loop” can be seen in Figure 10.

City Council Staff Report – Page 12 of 16
Figure 10: Internal Pedestrian Connectivity Map
In addition to on-site pedestrian connectivity, the project also includes significant connections to off-site amenities and encourages walkability to nearby destinations within the area. The graphic in Figure 11 shows a pedestrian path of travel from the subject property to nearby destinations such as Capital Village Green, Starbucks and Costco. In an effort to create a safe path of travel across Kilgore Road, the Applicant will also be installing a (High intensity Activated crosswalk (HAWK) at the location circled in red on the graphic below.

Also highlighted on the graphic is a pedestrian opening (circled in yellow) that connects directly from the multi-family development to the adjacent South Folsom Canal and the City’s bike trail system. The bike trail can be seen represented as a blue dashed line.

Figure 11: Off-site Pedestrian Connections

City Council Staff Report – Page 13 of 16
Site Landscaping Design
The Residences at Capital Center provides a landscape plan that shows a variation of trees, shrubs, and groundcover that provide a variety of color and textures to the property to enhance visual interest throughout the site. The proposed trees highlight main entrances and pedestrian corridors while also providing shade for on-site gathering areas such as the children’s playground, dog park, and open space areas. The trees surrounding the perimeter of the property serve as a screen to help soften the look of the two- and three-story buildings proposed on-site while also serving as shade trees for the 0.85-mile walking loop that also surrounds the property. The proposed trees, in combination with carports, exceed the minimum parking lot shade requirements for the multi-family development. The landscape species and materials have also been reviewed for compliance with the City’s approved tree list as well as Chapter

23.716 of the zoning code specified for landscaping.

Figure 12: Preliminary Landscape Plan

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
As part of the project review, Staff required that the Applicant conduct a Community meeting with property owners and tenants within the area. The Applicant provided notices to homes and property owners within a radius greater than the minimum required 500’, to ensure that homes that may be affected, received notification of the meeting.

The meeting was held on Thursday, October 27, 2022 in person, at City Hall from 5:30PM to 7:00PM. The Applicant provided posterboards showing the site plan of the project as well as elevations of what the proposed project would look like. After presenting the project to residents in attendance, the Applicant was able to sufficiently answer any questions that arose and no further concerns were received.

GENERAL PLAN
The project site is located within the Office Mixed Use (OMU) designation of the City’s General Plan. The OMU designation encourages the integration of commercial and/or residential use in conjunction with office use of a site. The proposed project includes both single-family and multiPage 72 of 1323 City Council Staff Report – Page 15 of 16
family development as well as a commercial component for future development. The project is also directly adjacent to an existing building with over 100,000 square feet of office space and an existing outdoor soccer complex. Overall, the entire area integrates a variety of uses from recreational to residential and upholds the mixed-use intent of the General Plan’s OMU designation.

ZONING CODE
The project is located within the Office Professional Mixed Use (OPMU) zoning designation of the Rancho Cordova Zoning Code. The OPMU zoning designation is intended to designated property primarily for larger office building developments and business parks however, residential uses and commercial uses may be integrated or located horizontally in freestanding buildings, as supporting uses. The proposed project will provide supporting residential and a small commercial component to the existing adjacent office building. The project will also support the larger business park area directly across Kilgore Road with smaller 1 and 2 bedroom options for nearby residential that could provide local living opportunities for their staff.

The project has also been reviewed and found to be in compliance with all applicable development standards and requirements for a single-family and multi-family use within a OPMU zone. A portion of the property is also located within the Surface Mining Overlay as described within the Zoning Code. However, this overlay is applicable only to projects proposing mining or extraction of materials from the site. This project does not proposing any mining activity and therefore the overlay would not be applicable to this project.

FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipates that the project will have a positive fiscal impact due to the short term and long term positions for the construction and operation of both residential components of the project.

The area is currently undeveloped and the construction of new facilities will provide a positive impact through an increase in property taxes for the site as well as within the surrounding area.

ENVIRONMENTAL
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(Public Resource Code Section 2100 et. seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et. Seq.), a Draft Initial Study/Mitigated negative Declaration (IS/MND) was prepared and circulated for the required 30-day review period, which ended on October 10, 2022. Areas identified in the Draft IS/MND that required mitigation measures to avoid significant effects on the environment include Biological Resources, Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources, and Tribal Cultural Resources
During the public review period, six comment letters and/or emails on the Draft IS/MND were received from outside agencies and interested parties. As a result of comments received on the Draft IS/MND, minor revisions were made to the Draft IS/MND, however there were no substantial revisions that would require recirculation of the document. The revisions proposed in the Final MND do not meet the criteria for recirculation provided in Section 15073.5(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, nor were project revisions required based upon the comments received.

Attachment 1 of this report includes the Final MND, which includes the minor text revisions, comment letters received, responses to those comment letters and the Draft IS/MND that was circulated.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION AND REGULATORY GUIDANCE
This Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/Proposed MND) has been prepared for the City of Rancho Cordova (City), as the lead agency, to evaluate potential environmental effects resulting from the Residences at Capital Center Project. Under CEQA, the lead agency is the public agency with primary responsibility for approval of the project. Chapter 2 “Project Description” presents detailed project information.

This document has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.). An Initial Study is prepared by a lead agency to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15063[a]), and thus to determine the appropriate environmental document. In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, a “public agency shall prepare…a proposed negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration…when: (a) The Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence…that the project may have a significant impact on the environment, or (b) The Initial Study identifies potentially significant effects but revisions to the project plans or proposal are agreed to by the applicant and such revisions would reduce potentially significant effects to a less-than-significant level.” In this circumstance, the lead agency prepares a written statement describing its reasons for concluding that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). By contrast, an EIR is required when the project may have a significant environmental impact that cannot clearly be reduced to a less-than-significant effect by adoption of mitigation or by revisions in the project design.

1.2 WHY THIS DOCUMENT?
As described in the environmental checklist (Chapter 3), the project would not result in any unmitigated significant environmental impacts. Therefore, an IS/Proposed MND is the appropriate document for compliance with the requirements of CEQA. This IS/Proposed MND conforms to these requirements and to the content requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15071.

The purpose of this document is to present to decision-makers and the public information about the environmental consequences of implementing the project. This disclosure document is being made available to the public for review and comment. This IS/Proposed MND will be available for a 30-day public review period from September 9, 2022 and October 10, 2022.

After comments are received from the public and reviewing agencies, the City of Rancho Cordova may (1) adopt the MND, mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP), and approve the project; (2) undertake additional environmental studies, potentially including preparation of an Environmental Impact Report; or (3) deny the project. If the project is approved, the project proponent may proceed with the project.

1.3 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Chapter 3 of this document contains the analysis and discussion of potential environmental impacts of the project.

Based on the issues evaluated in that chapter, it was determined that the project would have either no impact or a less-than-significant impact related to most of the issue areas identified in the Environmental Checklist included as Appendix G of the State CEQA Guidelines. These include the following issue areas:
 Aesthetics
 Agricultural and Forestry Resources
 Air Quality
 Energy
 Geology and Soils
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
 Hydrology and Water Quality
 Land Use and Planning
 Mineral Resources
 Noise
 Population and Housing
 Public Services
 Recreation
 Utilities and Service Systems
 Wildfire
Potentially significant impacts were identified for biological resources, cultural resources, greenhouse gas emissions, and tribal cultural resources; however, mitigation measures included in the IS/Proposed MND would reduce all impacts to a less-than-significant level.

1.4 PROJECT APPROVALS
The project would require the subject to the following actions:
 City of Rancho Cordova City Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Major Design Review  Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District: Project Approval  Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District: Plan Review
 South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan permit

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
GGC Project Ventures (the Project Applicant) has submitted an application to the City of Rancho Cordova (City) (the Lead Agency) for development of the Residences at Capital Center Project (Residences Project). The Residences Project has been designed as a modern mixed-use infill residential development with a destination commercial-retail component. It would result in the construction of 417 dwelling units (240 multifamily units and 177 townhome rental units) and approximately 5,000 square feet of commercial development.

2.2 PROJECT LOCATION AND EXISTING SETTING
The Residences Project would develop housing within the City of Rancho Cordova, in a location that is approximately 1 mile south of U.S. Highway 50, 9 miles east of downtown Sacramento, and 10 miles southwest of Folsom Lake (Figure 2-1). The project site is 22.9 acres located along International Drive, east of Kilgore Road, and adjacent to the Folsom South Canal (Figure 2-2). The project site is a vacant infill property in the city’s Capital Center that is surrounded by residential uses, park facilities, and office and industrial uses. Specific uses include the San Juan Soccer Club complex to the north, industrial development including Costco and California Northstate University College of Pharmacy east of the Folsom South Canal, single family development to the south, and medical office buildings to the west. The site is located near the Rancho CordoVan Village bus route, which provides access to the Zinfandel Light Rail Station.

2.2.1 General Plan and Zoning
The Residences Project site is designated as Office Mixed Use in the City’s General Plan Land Use Diagram. As described in the City’s General Plan Land Use Element, this designation encourages the integration of commercial and/or residential use in conjunction with office use. The zoning designation for the Residences Project site is Office Professional Mixed-Use (OPMU).

2.3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Specific project objectives, as stated by the Project Applicant, include the following:
 Develop a high-quality walkable rental community on an infill site at Capital Center.  Design a community that is complementary in look and feel to the existing office park through attractive modern architectural design and landscaping.
 Provide an open-air, community-oriented commercial space proximate to the proposed residential development, existing office park, and soccer facilities.
 Provide diverse rental housing opportunities in an infill location that is proximate to prominent employment and retail nodes that promotes walking and cycling as alternatives to driving, as well as a “live-work-play” environment.
 Take advantage of pedestrian and cycling connectivity opportunities through improved utilization of existing Rancho Cordova infrastructure. Promote increased cycling between the Residences Project and nearby amenities, shopping at Capital Village, office buildings at Capital Center and Prospect Park, and the Folsom South Canal Recreational Trail.

2.4 RESIDENCES PROJECT FEATURES
As described above, the Residence Project would consist of residential and commercial components. The northern portion of the site, adjacent to the San Juan Soccer Club, would include 177-units consisting of townhomes and the southeast portion of the site would include a 240-unit multi-family development. There would also be commercial and retail uses in the northeast corner of the site. Each of these project features is shown in Figure 2-3 and discussed below.

2.4.1 Residential
The residential component is conceptualized as two separate residential projects acting as one community.

TOWNHOMES
The townhomes portion of the project would be located on approximately 12 acres just south of the San Juan Soccer Club complex on the northern portion of the Residences Project site. It would include 149 three-story townhome units and 28 two-story townhome units. The three-story units would feature large patios, or lanais, while the two-story units would include enclosed backyards with wood fences. The townhomes portion of the community would also have an approximate 7,000 square foot single-story clubhouse building with pool and fitness center. Outdoor amenity areas would include a pool/spa, children’s playground, dog park, and barbeque and lounge areas.

MULTI-FAMILY
The multi-family portion of the community would be located on approximately 9 acres immediately east of the existing commercial building at the northeast corner of Kilgore Road and International Drive. This site would include an approximately 7,000 square foot, two-story clubhouse building with pool and fitness center. Outdoor amenity areas would include a dog park, barbeque, and lounge areas. The clubhouse would feature a large deck area that runs contiguous to a pool and a large community lawn area for residents to congregate and socialize. There would be nine, three-story, garden style walk- up apartment buildings.

2.4.2 Commercial-Retail
The commercial-retail component of the project would be situated on Kilgore Road, adjacent to the townhomes and south of the San Juan Soccer Club complex. It would be located on approximately 1 acre site on the northwest corner of the Residences Project site and would be accessible by motor vehicles via the shared access drive with the San Juan Soccer Club. The proposed commercial development would have approximately 5,000 square feet of building area with approximately 3,500 square feet of outdoor area. The planned open space is designed to buffer the townhomes’ clubhouse parking lot from the commercial development; it is envisioned to be a community oriented open-air food and beer garden.

2.4.3 Open Space and Trails
A green space is planned at the center of the project, and wide pedestrian pathways and paseos would wind throughout the project site. At the south side of the Residences Project site, access to the city’s pedestrian sidewalk system would connect to the existing Folsom South Canal bike path to the east (providing bicyclists access to the American River Bike Trail and Lake Natoma to the north, and terminating at Cosumnes River to the south). A proposed pedestrian crosswalk on Kilgore Road would provide access to a city-contemplated pathway that would lead to Capital Village in the future. The project also includes 804 new tree plantings.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

2.4.4 Architecture and Design
The proposed building design is modern-contemporary. The structures would be white stucco, which is intended to result in a modern look. Dark metal accents and wood tiling would complement the surrounding landscape. The exterior elevation of the apartments would be approximately 37 feet. The town homes would be between approximately 20 and 30 feet tall. The clubhouse for the apartments would be between these two elevations. The buildings would use varied massing to add visual interest to the large structures. See Appendix A for detailed site design.

BUILDING ENERGY
All project buildings would participate in Sacramento Municipal Utility District’s SolarShare program and would include cool roofs. The residential units would be all electric, but gas hook-ups are proposed for the restaurant, heating the pool and spa, two fire pits, and the clubhouse kitchen. All non-residential buildings will be designed with electrical capacity sufficient to support future electrification. At least 25 percent of paved area will have an albedo of no less than 0.25.

2.4.5 Access and Parking
Primary vehicle access to the Residences Project would be from three points off of Kilgore Road (see Figure 2-3). The commercial portion of the Residences Project would be accessed via the existing drive to the San Juan Soccer Club.

The entrance to the townhomes would be through a grand promenade entrance south of the commercial area.

Access to the multi-family project would be via Crawford Drive, an existing, tree-lined private road located just north of the existing commercial building on the northeast corner of Kilgore Road and International Drive. Emergency vehicle access would be provided to International Drive just east of the existing commercial building.

At least 218 of the parking spaces would be electric vehicle ready stalls (23 percent of total) and at least 12 electric vehicle chargers would be installed. In addition, the project would exceed CalGreen bike parking standards for shortand long-term bike parking/storage.

2.5 RESIDENCES PROJECT CONSTRUCTION
Construction is estimated to occur over 3 years, beginning in August of 2022. The entire site would be graded, with a maximum of 3 acres graded in a single say and approximately 1,500 cubic yards of daily cut and fill. All construction activities would occur between the daytime hours of 7:00 a.m.– 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 9:00 a.m.– 6:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Construction practices would adhere to established regulations and permit requirements. In addition, the following specification would be required to reduce emissions following Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District guidelines:
 All exposed surfaces would be watered twice daily.
 Trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material on the site would cover or maintain at least 2 feet of free board space. Any haul trucks that would be traveling along freeways or major roadways would be covered.  Wet power vacuum street sweepers would be used to remove any visible trackout mud or dirt onto adjacent public roads at least once a day.
 Vehicle speeds on unpaved roads would be limited to 15 miles per hour.  All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots to be paved would be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads would be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

 All construction equipment would be maintained in proper working condition according to manufacturer’s specifications. The equipment would be checked by a certified mechanic and determine to be running in proper condition before it is operated.

2.6 PROJECT APPROVALS
The project would require the following approvals:
 City of Rancho Cordova City Council approval of a Conditional Use Permit and Major Design Review  Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District: Project Approval  Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District: Plan Review
 South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan permit
 Cordova Recreation and Park District certificate of compliance ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that although the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only 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 on-site, 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 may be 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 “Earlier Analyses,” as described in (5) below, 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:
a) Earlier Analysis 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.

I. Aesthetics.

Except as provided in Public Resources Code section 21099 (where aesthetic impacts shall not be considered significant for qualifying residential, mixed-use residential, and employment centers), would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the
existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those
that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage
points.) If the project is in an urbanized area, would
the project conflict with applicable zoning and other
regulations governing scenic quality?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?

3.1.1 Environmental Setting
The project site is a vacant property with non-native grasses and ruderal vegetation. The project site has been previously disturbed from past management activities, including grading, dredging, and vegetation trimming/removal. The topography of the project site is relatively flat and views from the project site are limited to immediately adjacent properties. Single- and multi-story buildings (less than three stories) on adjacent commercial, residential, and industrial properties and associated ornamental landscaping (e.g., shrubs and mature trees) are visible from the project site. In addition, recreational fields, roadways and bike paths, and the Folsom South Canal are visible from the project site.

The City of Rancho Cordova General Plan identifies views of major peaks and natural landmarks in the region as important scenic vistas, including views of the American River, Sierra Nevada mountain range, Mt. Diablo, Pine Hill, Flagstaff Hill, Pyramid Peak, Carson Spur, Jackson Butte, Mt. Vaca, and Goat Mountain/Snow Mountain (City of Rancho Cordova 2006a). These scenic vistas are not visible from the project site or from adjacent properties due to the distance to these resources, as well as the intervening development and flat topography.

There are no officially designated or eligible state scenic highways in proximity to the project site. The nearest officially designated state scenic highway is a segment of State Route 160 that travels along the Sacramento River, located approximately 15 miles southwest of the project site (Caltrans 2019). The project site is not within the viewshed of State Route 160, based on the distance, intervening development, and flat topography.

The project site is currently vacant, with no existing onsite sources of light or glare. Light sources in the vicinity of the project site are typical of an urban environment, and include street lights and lights from motor vehicles traveling on adjacent roadways, including Kilgore Road, International Drive, and White Rock Road. Other light sources include interior and exterior building lighting and parking lot lighting from adjacent commercial, industrial, and residential ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

land uses. Existing sources of glare in the vicinity of the project site are minimal and include light reflected from building windows and vehicles.

3.1.2 Discussion
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.1.1, scenic vistas are not visible from the project site or from adjacent properties due to the distance to scenic resources, as well as the intervening development and flat topography. Furthermore, the Residences Project would introduce new structures that would be of similar height to the single- and multi-story buildings situated on adjacent properties. Views of the project site would be consistent with views of other development in the project vicinity. Therefore, the Residences Project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.1.1, the project site is not within the viewshed of an officially designated state scenic highway. The project site is vacant and does not include any scenic resources. Therefore, the Residences Project would not substantially damage scenic resources, such as trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway.
c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
Less than Significant. The Residences Project site is located in an urbanized area and is within the Office Professional Mixed-Use (OPMU) Zoning District. According to Chapter 23.313 of the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code, this district is intended for the development of larger office buildings and business parks; however, commercial service and residential uses may be integrated into office buildings or as freestanding buildings. The Residences Project would consist of a mixed-use infill residential development with a destination commercial-retail component. The proposed multifamily units, townhome rental units, and commercial space would be an allowed use of the OPMU district.

The Residences Project would be designed in accordance with the City’s Design Guidelines, which ensures that the visual character and quality of new development is compatible with surrounding communities. The City’s Design Guidelines include architectural recommendations for building massing, scale, form, and style. Specifically, the design guidelines provide that projects with a large building volume should be broken into smaller components and multistory buildings should incorporate changes in vertical mass to add interest. The guidelines also require an appropriate transition between new and existing adjacent buildings. In addition, the City’s Design Guidelines include recommendations for site design, including circulation, building placement and orientation, public spaces, pedestrian amenities, and parking areas (City of Rancho Cordova 2005).

The architectural style of the Residences Project would consist of a modern-contemporary design that is intended to complement the existing office park designation and surroundings (See Appendix A). The proposed structures would meet the height and density requirements of the OPMU district. As required in the City’s Design Guidelines, the project is broken into smaller pieces and has been designed to incorporate massing principles. The site layout also places the shorter townhomes and community buildings adjacent to the San Juan Soccer Club and the taller apartments near the existing commercial uses along International Drive. The site plan includes walking paths that would provide pedestrian connectivity throughout the site and to adjacent land uses. The landscape plan includes trees throughout the site, which would provide shade, privacy screening, and visual accents. The landscaping would meet the requirements of Chapter 23.716 of the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code, which includes landscaping standards to enhance the appearance of developments.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

Based on the above discussion, the Residences Project would not conflict with the zoning or other regulations in the City’s Municipal Code governing scenic quality of the project site. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant. As discussed in Section 3.1.1, the project site is currently vacant, with no existing onsite sources of light or glare. Light sources in the vicinity of the project site are typical of an urban environment, including lighting from adjacent roadways and commercial, industrial, and residential land uses. Existing sources of glare in the vicinity of the project site are minimal and include light reflected from building windows and vehicles.

The Residences Project would introduce new lighting associated with buildings, walkways, and parking lots/structures.

These new light sources would be consistent with existing light sources in the project vicinity and typical of the existing urbanized environment. The project design would be consistent with the City of Rancho Cordova Zoning Code lighting standards. Specifically, the project design would comply with Title 1 (General Provisions) of the Zoning Code, which requires that illumination is shielded and not directed onto adjacent properties. In addition, the project design would be consistent with Title III (Use Regulations and Development Standards) of the Zoning Code, which requires that lighting be directed away from residential areas to maintain the privacy and well-being of residents and away from public streets to reduce glare that could interfere with motorists. A photometric plan has been completed that demonstrates the extent of illumination and compliance with the City’s standards.

Additionally, the Residences Project would not include surfaces with potential to cause substantial new glare. The project design would be consistent with other nearby development and with the City’s Design Guidelines (City of Rancho Cordova 2005).

Based on the discussion above, the Residences Project would not create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.

II. 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 (1997, as updated) 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?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract?
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 4526), or timberland zoned
Timberland Production (as defined by Government
Code section 51104(g))?
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of
forest land to non-forest use?
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment,
which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or
conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

3.2.1 Environmental Setting
According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the project site is classified as Urban and Built Up Land (CDOC 2016). The project site is currently vacant and zoned OPMU.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

3.2.2 Discussion
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? No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.2.1, there are no lands designated as Important Farmland and there are no agricultural uses within the project site. Therefore, the project would not convert Important Farmland to nonagricultural use. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.2.1, the project site is zoned OPMU. The project site is vacant and not enrolled in Williamson Act contracts. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract.
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 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
No Impact. As discussed in Section 3.2.1, the project site is zoned OPMU. The project site is vacant and does not contain forest land or timberland. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?

Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management district or air pollution control district may be relied on to make the following determinations.

Are significance criteria established by the applicable air district available to rely on for significance
determinations?
Yes No
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the
applicable air quality plan?
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is
non-attainment under an applicable federal or state
ambient air quality standard?
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations?
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to
odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of
people?

3.3.1 Environmental Setting
The project is located in the Sacramento Valley Air Basin (SVAB), which includes the counties of Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Placer, Sacramento, Shasta, Solano, Sutter, Tehama, Yolo, and Yuba. Ozone, respirable particulate matter (PM10), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are the criteria air pollutants of primary concern in this analysis because of their nonattainment status with respect to the applicable national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and California ambient air quality standards (CAAQS) in the SVAB.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) is the primary agency responsible for planning to meet NAAQS and CAAQS in Sacramento County, where the project is located. SMAQMD works with other local air districts in the Sacramento region to maintain the region’s portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. The SIP is a compilation of plans and regulations that govern how the region and State will comply with the Clean Air Act requirements to attain and maintain the NAAQS for ozone. The Sacramento region has been designated as a “moderate” 2015 8-hour ozone nonattainment area with an extended attainment deadline of June 15, 2019 (EPA 2019). The 2018 Sacramento Regional 2008 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Further Reasonable Progress Plan was approved by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) on November 16, 2017. The previous 2013 Update to the 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan was approved and promulgated by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone Standard. The EPA has not released a notice of approval and promulgation of the 2017 SIP (CARB 2017a).

SMAQMD has developed a set of guidelines for use by lead agencies when preparing environmental documents. The guidelines contain thresholds of significance for criteria pollutants and toxic air contaminants (TACs), and also make recommendations for conducting air quality analyses. As the resource agency related to air quality, lead agencies that do not have adopted CEQA thresholds, rely on guidance and established thresholds from the air districts.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

All projects are subject to adopted SMAQMD rules and regulations in effect at the time of construction. Specific rules applicable to the construction of the proposed Project may include but are not limited to the following:
 Rule 201: General Permit Requirements. Any project that includes the use of equipment capable of releasing emissions to the atmosphere may be required to obtain permit(s) from SMAQMD before equipment operation.

The applicant, developer, or operator of a project that includes an emergency generator, boiler, or heater should contact SMAQMD early to determine whether a permit is required, and to begin the permit application process.

Portable construction equipment (e.g., generators, compressors, pile drivers, lighting equipment) with an internal combustion engine greater than 50 horsepower must have a SMAQMD permit or CARB portable equipment registration.
 Rule 202: New Source Review. The purpose of this rule is to provide for the issuance of authorities to construct and permits to operate at new and modified stationary air pollution sources and to provide mechanisms, including emission offsets, by which authorities to construct such sources may be granted without interfering with the attainment or maintenance of ambient air quality standards.  Rule 207: Federal Operating Permit. The purpose this rule is to establish an operating permitting system consistent with the requirements of Title V of the United States Code and pursuant to 40 FR Part 70. Stationary sources subject to the requirements of this rule are also required to comply with any other applicable federal, state, or SMAQMD orders, rules and regulations, including requirements pertaining to prevention of significant deterioration pursuant to Rule 203, requirements to obtain an authority to construct pursuant to Rule 201, or applicable requirements under SMAQMD’s new source review rule in the SIP.  Rule 402: Nuisance. A person shall not discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other materials which cause injury, detriment, nuisance or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or the public, or which endanger the comfort, repose, health or safety of any such persons or the public, or which cause or have natural tendency to cause injury or damage to business or property.  Rule 403: Fugitive Dust. The developer or contractor is required to control dust emissions from earthmoving activities or any other construction activity to prevent airborne dust from leaving the project site. Fugitive dust controls include the following:
 Water all exposed surfaces two times daily.
 Cover or maintain at least two feet of free board on haul trucks transporting soil, sand, or other loose material on the site.
 Use wet power vacuum street sweepers to remove any visible trackout mud or dirt onto adjacent public roads at least once a day.
 Limit vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour.  All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used.  Minimize idling time either by shutting equipment off when not in use or reducing the time of idling to 5 minutes.  Maintain all construction equipment in proper working condition according to manufacturer’s specifications.  Rule 442: Architectural Coatings. The purpose of this rule is to limit the emissions of volatile organic compounds from the use of architectural coatings supplied, sold, offered for sale, applied, solicited for application, or manufactured for use within Sacramento County.
 Rule 902: Asbestos. The developer or contractor is required to notify SMAQMD of any regulated renovation or demolition activity. Rule 902 contains specific requirements for surveying, notification, removal, and disposal of material containing asbestos.

HEALTH EFFECTS
SMAQMD has also issued Guidance to Address the Friant Ranch Ruling for CEQA Projects in the Sac Metro Air District, Sacramento, California (SMAQMD 2020a), which contains guidance on how to address the California Supreme Court decision in Sierra Club v. County of Fresno, 6 Cal.5th 502 (2018)—a court decision often referred to as the Friant Ranch decision. In that decision, the California Supreme Court held that an EIR should “relate the expected adverse air quality impacts to likely health consequences or explain in meaningful detail why it is not feasible at the time of drafting to provide such an analysis.” SMAQMD’s guidance recommends using the Minor Project Health Effects Tool to estimate the level of health effects for an emissions source that results in emissions at or below criteria air pollutant and precursor thresholds of significance. The sole input for the Minor Project Health Effects Tool is the project’s geographical location, and the output of the Minor Project Health Effects Tool is based on that location and modeled emissions at 82 pounds per day of oxides of nitrogen (NOX), reactive organic gases (ROG), or PM, which are the highest thresholds of significance for each of these pollutants in the SMAQMD and neighboring air districts.

Therefore, the Minor Project Health Effects Tool is used for projects with emissions at or below air district thresholds of significance.

CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANTS
Concentrations of criteria air pollutants are used to indicate the quality of the ambient air. Emission source types and health effects are summarized in Table 3.3.-1 and Sacramento County’s attainment status for the CAAQS and the NAAQS are shown in Table 3.3.-2.

Attainment Status
As shown in Table 3.3-2, Sacramento County is designated as a nonattainment for ozone with respect to both the NAAQS (8-hour standard) and CAAQS (1-hour Classification and 8-hour standard), nonattainment for PM10 with respect to the CAAQS, and nonattainment for PM2.5 with respect to the NAAQS.

TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS
At the local level, air districts may adopt and enforce CARB control measures for TACs. Under SMAQMD Rule 201 (“General Permit Requirements”), Rule 202 (“New Source Review”), and Rule 207 (“Federal Operating Permit”), all sources that possess the potential to emit TACs are required to obtain permits from SMAQMD. Permits may be granted to these operations if they are constructed and operated in accordance with applicable regulations, including New Source Review standards and air toxics control measures. SMAQMD limits emissions and public exposure to TACs through a number of programs. SMAQMD prioritizes TAC-emitting stationary sources based on the quantity and toxicity of the TAC emissions and the proximity of the facilities to sensitive receptors. Sensitive receptors are people or facilities that generally house people (e.g., schools, hospitals, residences) that may experience adverse effects from unhealthful concentrations of air pollutants.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

ODORS
Although offensive odors rarely cause any physical harm, they can be very unpleasant, leading to considerable stress among the public and often generating citizen complaints to local governments and SMAQMD. SMAQMD’s Rule 402 (Nuisance) regulates odorous emissions.

SENSITIVE RECEPTORS
Sensitive receptors are generally considered to include those land uses where exposure to pollutants could result in health-related risks to sensitive individuals, such as children or the elderly. Residential dwellings, schools, hospitals, playgrounds, and similar facilities are of primary concern because of the presence of individuals particularly sensitive to pollutants and/or the potential for increased and prolonged exposure of individuals to pollutants. The closest sensitive receptor to the project area is the existing residences across International Drive, which are approximately 200 feet south of the project area and 850 south of the proposed commercial site.

3.3.2 Discussion
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact. SMAQMD has developed air quality attainment plans (AQAPs) (i.e., Sacramento Regional 2008 NAAQS 8- Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan), which present comprehensive strategies to reduce volatile organic compounds, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 emissions from stationary, area, mobile, and indirect sources to achieve attainment status of the SIP, CAAQS, and NAAQS. SMAQMD has not prepared a similar plan for particulate matter attainment. The emission inventories used to develop the applicable AQAPs are based primarily on projected population and employment growth and associated vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for the SVAB. This growth is estimated for the region, based in part, on the planned growth identified in regional and local land use plans such as general plans or community plans. Projects whose growth is included in the projections used in the formulation of the AQAPs are considered to be consistent with the AQAPs and would not interfere with its attainment plans.

The project would consist of a mixed-use infill residential development with a destination commercial-retail component.

The proposed multifamily units, townhome rental units, and commercial space would be an allowed use of the OPMU district. Because the project would be consistent with existing land use and zoning for the project site, the project would be consistent with SMAQMD’s AQAPs. Furthermore, as discussed for item b), the short-term construction and long-term operation of the project would not generate emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors that would exceed the SMAQMD-established mass emission thresholds, which were developed to determine whether a project’s emissions would cumulatively contribute to the nonattainment designations in the SVAB. 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?
Less than significant. Sacramento County is currently designated as nonattainment with respect to the NAAQS and CAAQS for ozone, the NAAQS for PM2.5, and the CAAQS for PM10. The SMAQMD CEQA Guidelines identifies whether a project would violate any ambient air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation through pounds per day significance thresholds. Project level thresholds were developed to bring the SVAB into attainment for the NAAQS and CAAQS and to be protective of human health. Project-generated construction and operational emissions, in comparison to SMAQMD thresholds, are presented below. Construction activities would result in temporary generation and emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors. Constructionand operational-related emissions were estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0 computer program (CAPCOA 2021), in accordance with recommendations by SMAQMD. Modeling was based on project-specific information where available and default values in CalEEMod that are based on the project’s location and land use type. Construction and operational impacts are discussed separately below.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

Construction
Project construction is anticipated to occur over 36-month period. Construction-related activities would result in project-generated emissions of ROG, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 from construction activities (e.g., site preparation, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating), off-road equipment, material delivery, and worker commute trips. The project intends to implement SMAQMD’s best management practices of fugitive dust and exhaust emissions control including, but not limited to, watering the site two times daily, limiting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour, reduce idling to no more than five minutes, etc. With implementation of SMAQMD’s best management practices identified in Section 2.5 of Chapter 2, “Project Description,” the SMAQMD’s peak daily and annual thresholds increase from zero to 80 pounds per day (lb/day) or 14.6 tons per year (tpy) for PM10 and 82 lb/day or 15 tpy for PM2.5. As shown in Table 3.3-3, emissions resulting from construction of the project would not exceed applicable thresholds and construction associated with the project would not contribute substantially to the nonattainment status of the SVAB.

Operation
Long-term emissions sources associated with project operation would include area sources (landscape equipment, consumer products, maintenance activities) and mobile sources (vehicle trips to the project area). The project would comply with SMAQMD’s BMPs for PM reduction through implementation of California Energy Efficiency Standards and Green Building Code, compliance with SMAQMD Rules, and CARB anti-idling regulations (for deliveries to the commercial site). These measures have been included for the purpose of this analysis as they would be required through the building permit and inspection process. As shown in Table 3.3-4, operational emissions are well below the SMAQMD maximum daily thresholds for all criteria pollutants and the project would not contribute substantially to the nonattainment status of the SVAB.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

The Minor Project Health Effects Tool was used to evaluate potential health effects of mass emissions associated with implementation of the project; the outputs reflect the potential increase in premature deaths over the background health incidence rate of each health endpoint in the region. However, The Guidance to Address the Friant Ranch Ruling for CEQA Projects in the Sac Metro Air District, Sacramento, California (SMAQMD 2020a) notes that, by default, the model generates conservatively high health effects. As explained in the guidance, the outputs are based on simulation of a full year of exposure at the maximum daily average of increases in air pollutant concentrations. In the Minor Projects Health Effects Tool, emissions are assumed to be at 82 pounds per day of NOX, ROG, or PM. As described above, the project emissions would, in actuality, be substantially less than SMAQMD’s recommended mass thresholds for criteria air pollutants. Therefore, the model output of additional mortality (i.e., additional mortality of 2 persons due to ozone and PM2.5 exposure) unequivocally overstates the potential cardiovascular and respiratory health impacts of the project, and it is possible there would be no cardiovascular and respiratory health impacts (i.e., zero cases of additional mortality) attributable to mass emissions of the project (SMAQMD 2020a). The SMAQMD guidance also notes that the model output includes only health effects with sufficient research to provide quantification. Other health effects are linked to emissions of PM2.5 and ozone that are not quantified in the Minor Projects Health Effects Tool (SMAQMD 2020a). Other health effects of criteria air pollutants and ozone are discussed in Section 3.3.1, “Environmental Setting,” above. The linkage between mass emissions and other health effects are not quantifiable, and the project would not result in sizeable quantifiable health effects if it resulted in health effects at all.

Therefore, it is presumed that these other health effects would also not be sizeable or would be zero. There also may be no health effects due to the conservative nature of the modeling.

Summary
The project would not result in a SMAQMD threshold of significance exceedance or substantially contribute to a nonattainment status of the SVAB for construction or operations. Furthermore, health effects are unlikely. Although the modeling predicts some consequences from development of the project, this is likely attributable to the conservative nature of the modeling.
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant. Sensitive receptors are generally considered to include those land uses where exposure to pollutants could result in health-related risks to sensitive individuals, such as children or the elderly. Residential dwellings, schools, hospitals, playgrounds, and similar facilities are of primary concern because of the presence of individuals particularly sensitive to pollutants and the potential for increased and prolonged exposure of individuals to pollutants. The closest sensitive receptor to the project area is the San Juan Soccer Club adjacent to the project site and the existing residences across International Drive, which are approximately 200 feet south of the project area.

The potential cancer risk from inhaling diesel PM outweighs the potential for all other diesel PM–related health impacts (i.e., non-cancer chronic risk, short-term acute risk) and health impacts from other TACs (CARB 2003). With regard to exposure to diesel PM, the dose to which receptors are exposed is the primary factor used to determine health risk. Dose is a function of the concentration of a substance or substances in the environment and the duration of exposure to the substance. Dose is positively correlated with time, meaning that a longer exposure period would result in a higher level of health risk for any exposed receptor. Thus, the risks estimated for an exposed individual are higher if a fixed exposure occurs over a longer period. According to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, when a health risk assessment is prepared to project the results of exposure of sensitive receptors to selected compounds, exposure of sensitive receptors to TAC emissions should be based on a 70- or 30-year exposure period; however, such assessments should be limited to the duration of activities associated with the proposed project if emissions occur for shorter periods (OEHHA 2015). Construction- and operational-related projectgenerated health risks are discussed separately below.

Construction
Construction-related activities would result in temporary, intermittent emissions of diesel PM from the exhaust of offroad, heavy-duty diesel equipment. Construction activities would occur at approximately 200 feet away from the ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

nearest sensitive receptor. Construction activities would occur this close to a sensitive receptor temporarily during the site preparation and grading construction phases.

The results of emissions modeling show that maximum daily emissions of exhaust PM2.5 would not exceed 6 lb/day during construction. Considering the highly dispersive properties of diesel PM, the relatively low mass of diesel PM emissions that would be generated at any single place during project construction, the relatively short period during which diesel PM–emitting construction activities would take place, and the fact that the nearest sensitive receptor (occupied residence) is 200 feet away, construction-related TACs would not expose sensitive receptors to an incremental increase in cancer risk that exceeds 10 in one million or an exposure to non-carcinogens Hazard Index greater or equal to 1.0.

Operation
Project operations would result in the long-term emissions of diesel PM from the increase in vehicle trips and associated diesel PM emissions. In particular, diesel-powered trucks associated with the proposed commercial land uses could emit diesel PM at the project site. However, the frequency of diesel-powered truck trips to and from the project area would be intermittent, few in quantity, and occur a substantial distance away from receptors (850 feet or more). As a result, operation of the project would not result in a substantial increase in concentrations of diesel PM at or near the project area. Thus, operational TACs would not expose sensitive receptors to an incremental increase in cancer risk that exceeds 10 in one million or a Hazard Index greater or equal to 1.0.

Summary
Because of the dispersive properties of diesel PM, the relatively low mass diesel PM emissions that would be generated in one place during the construction and operation of proposed land uses, and the relatively short construction period, it is not anticipated that project-related TACs would expose sensitive receptors to an incremental increase in cancer risk that exceeds 10 in one million or a Hazard Index of 1.0 or greater. d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Less than Significant. The project would include the development of an infill multi-family residential and commercial property and would not result in the introduction of any new permanent sources of odors to the area. Because construction-related odors would be intermittent, temporary, and would disperse rapidly with distance from the source, construction-related odors would not result in the frequent exposure of a substantial number of individuals to objectionable odors.

With respect to operation, odor sources of concern include wastewater treatment plants, sanitary landfills, composting facilities, recycling facilities, petroleum refineries, chemical manufacturing plants, painting operations, rendering plants, and food packaging plants (SMAQMD 2016). Residential and commercial uses are not land uses that typically generate odors. Therefore, the proposed project would not generate objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people.

3.4.1 Environmental Setting
The project site is located at an elevation of between 109 and 120 feet above mean sea level in the Sacramento Valley, on the north side of the Great Valley Ecoregion. The United States Department of Agriculture, National Resource Conservation Service Web Soil Survey indicates that the project site is underlain primarily by mining dredge tailings, comprising 100 percent of the soil composition (NRCS 2022) The project site appears to have never been developed but has sustained historical disturbance in the form of mining dredge tailing deposits. Vegetation onsite consists of uplandnon-native annual grasses and forbs associated with fallow and previously disturbed areas such as wild oat (Avena fatua), tarplant (Holocarpha virgata), soft brome (Bromus hordeaceus), yellow star thistle (Centaurea solstitialis), and bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare). There are no trees within the boundary of the project site.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

The project site supports approximately 21.6 acres of annual grassland. The project site’s annual grassland provides suitable foraging habitat for burrowing owl, loggerhead shrike, Swainson’s hawk, and white-tailed kite. The site may also provide suitable breeding habitat for burrowing owl, although a thorough burrow survey has not been completed. Although the site does not support trees or shrubs, nearby shrubs and trees could provide suitable nesting habitat for loggerhead shrike, Swainson’s hawk, and white-tailed kite.

The project site is within the Plan Area of the South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan (SSHCP). The SSHCP Plan Area is defined as the area in which all conservation actions will be implemented and where all incidental take will occur and includes portions of unincorporated Sacramento County, Galt, and the southern half of Rancho Cordova.

The SSHCP Plan Area is divided into two components: inside and outside the Urban Development Area (UDA). The City of Rancho Cordova began implementing the SSHCP in late 2019. The site is within the UDA mapped in the SSHCP, which is where all proposed urbanization will occur and where a limited amount of habitat preservation focused mainly on the protection of vernal pools and streams will occur. The proposed development (i.e., urban development in the UDA) is a covered activity under the SSHCP. Covered Activities are projects or activities that are allowable under the SSHCP’s Incidental Take Permits and thus can use the SSHCP to mitigate for impacts that result from implementation of the Covered Activity.

3.4.2 Discussion
Information on sensitive biological resources previously recorded near the study area was collected through a search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and review of the SSHCP (Sacramento County et al. 2018).

 Aquatic Resources Assessment for the Capitol Center Project, City of Rancho Cordova, Sacramento County, California (Appendix B).

The SSHCP includes baseline landcover mapping, which was done at a coarse, regional scale to inform the plan and subsequent permit requests. The baseline landcover mapping for the site shows valley grassland and high density development with three vernal pools on the project site (Figure 3-1). Because conditions may have changed since the SSHCP baseline mapping was completed, site-specific studies are necessary to determine the actual, existing landcovers present on specific sites.

The SSHCP baseline land cover mapping shows that the site may support three small aquatic resources that total about

0.1 acre (Figure 3-1). To determine whether the land cover has changed from the baseline condition and whether vernal pools or other aquatic resources may be present on the project site, an Aquatic Resources Assessment (Appendix B) was performed in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ methodology for delineation of wetlands. The assessment determined that there are no wetlands on the project site, as shown on Figure 3-2. The National Wetland Inventory also does not include any wetlands within the project site. While the existing land cover as shown on Figure 3- 2 does not include any aquatic resources, the City will evaluate the updated land cover mapping as part of the SSHCP authorization process and assign mitigation for impacts to land cover, including aquatic resources if present, consistent with the SSHCP’s mitigation programs.

Based on the SSHCP species models, 13 species have a likelihood of occurring on the project site. The CNDDB query returned 21 species as occurring within the nine-quad search area. However, of these species only four have a likelihood of occurring based on existing habitat and known nearby occurrences and these are burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), Swainson’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni), and white-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus). Species for which suitable habitat is absent from the project site or whose known range does not include the project site were determined not to be affected by project implementation. The CNDDB and California Native Plant Society query results indicate that there are 13 special-status plants with potential to occur in the project area. However, all 13 plants are dependent on wetlands or vernal pools. Because there is no suitable habitat in the project area for wetland dependent species, these species are unlikely to occur. 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 Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site supports annual grassland that provides suitable foraging habitat for burrowing owl and loggerhead shrike, both California species of special concern; Swainson’s hawk, which is listed as a threatened species pursuant to the California Endangered Species Act; and white-tailed kite, a California fully protected species. Implementation of the project would result in direct loss of approximately 21.6 acres of annual grassland. Although the project site soils consist mostly of mine tailings, the area still provides suitable foraging habitat for these species. The loss of foraging habitat for these species would result in substantial negative effects to the sustainability of these species and, thus, impacts to special-status birds are potentially significant.

Burrowing Owl
Burrowing owl is a species that has a high potential for occurrence because of suitable foraging and nesting habitat present within the project site and vicinity. The potential presence of burrowing owl cannot be ruled out without protocol-level surveys. Adults, eggs, and juveniles could be killed during site grading and other ground disturbance that destroys occupied burrows or nest sites. Burrowing owls always need burrows to survive and displacing individuals from their burrows can result in indirect impacts such as predation, increased energetic costs, increased stress, and risks associated with having to find and compete for burrows, all of which can lead to take or reduced reproduction. Construction disturbances could also cause pairs nesting nearby to abandon their nests resulting in mortality of chicks and eggs. The loss of occupied burrowing owl habitat or mortality of adults, chicks, or eggs would be a potentially significant impact.

Swainson’s Hawk
For determining impacts to and establishing mitigation for nesting Swainson’s hawks in Sacramento County, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) recommends implementing the measures set forth in the CDFW Staff Report Regarding Mitigation for Impacts to Swainson’s Hawks (Buteo swainsoni) in the Central Valley of California (November 1, 1994). These measures state that no intensive new disturbances, such as heavy equipment operation associated with construction, should be initiated within 0.25 mile of an active Swainson’s hawk nest in an urban setting or within 0.5 mile in a rural setting between March 1 and September 15. Trees adjacent to the project site represent potential nesting habitat for Swainson’s hawk. Although no Swainson’s hawks have been recorded as nesting within the project site, there are 38 records of Swainson’s hawks nesting within 10 miles of the project site. Six of these occurrences were recorded within the last five years (CDFW 2022). Although no tree removal would occur as part of the project, project construction could disturb active nests near the construction area, potentially resulting in nest abandonment by the adults and mortality of chicks and eggs. Construction noise can cause abandonment of nests up to 0.5 mile away in rural settings and 0.25 mile away in more urban settings. Development of the site would result in a potentially significant impact to nesting Swainson’s hawk.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

White-tailed kite and loggerhead shrike
Although white-tailed kite and loggerhead shrike are not known to nest within the project site and no suitable nesting habitat is present on the project site, trees and shrubs adjacent to the project site represent potential nesting habitat for these species respectively. These two species have a moderate to high potential for occurrence in the project vicinity because suitable nesting and foraging habitat are present in the area. Project construction could disturb active nests of these special-status birds, potentially resulting in nest abandonment by the adults and mortality of chicks and eggs. Loss of chicks and eggs of these special-status species could reduce population levels and contribute to a trend toward these species becoming threatened or endangered in the future, which would be a potentially significant impact.

Special-Status Plants
To date, a special-status plant survey has not been completed to confirm the presence or absence of any specialstatus plant species that the CNPS identifies as potentially occurring in the project area. However, as indicated above and in Table 3.4-1, the 13 species identified in the database search are considered unlikely to occur. Though unlikely, it is possible that one or more of these species could occur in the project area. If these species are present and project construction would result in the direct loss of individual plants and/or populations, the impact could be potentially significant depending on the listing status and nature of impact.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

Mitigation Measure 3.4-1: Obtain Coverage for the Project Under the SSHCP In addition to payment of development fees in accordance with the SSHCP, the Project Applicant shall implement all applicable Avoidance and Minimization Measures codified in the SSHCP at the time permits are obtained. Avoidance and Minimization Measures currently provided in the SSHCP are included in Appendix C.

Significance after Mitigation
Mitigation Measure 3.4-1 would reduce potentially significant impacts to loss of foraging habitat for special-status birds because this measure would require the Project Applicant to participate in the SSHCP reserve system through fee payment or land dedication to offset habitat loss in a coordinated conservation strategy to maintain species viability in the region over the long term. Mitigation Measure 3.4-1 would result in preservation of nesting and foraging habitat in a coordinated and interconnected SSHCP reserve system that considers the species requirements at a regional scale, rather than project-by-project, and presents a coordinated conservation strategy to maintain species viability in the region over the long term. The SSHCP conservation strategy includes surveys, nest buffers, and monitoring that would meet the requirements for CDFW to issue an incidental take permit for the project.

The specific Avoidance and Minimization Measures required to obtain coverage for the project under the SSHCP would be determined through the permitting process. Avoidance and Minimization Measures that may apply to the project include WBO-1 through WBO-7, which require burrowing owl surveys to map burrows, pre-construction surveys, specific avoidance measures to follow in the breeding and non-breeding season, construction monitoring requirements, and passive relocation. Avoidance and Minimization Measures specific to Swainson’s hawk include:

SWHA-1, which requires surveys for nesting sites within 0.25-mile of in modeled habitat; SWHA-2, which outlines preconstruction survey requirements; and SWHA-3, SWHA-4, and SWHA-5 related to establishing nest buffers, buffer monitoring, and nest tree avoidance. White-tailed kite and loggerheaded shrike are addressed through Avoidance and Minimization Measures RAPTOR-1 through RAPTOR-4, which layout requirements for nesting site surveys, preconstruction surveys, establishing buffers, and monitoring. Finally, special-status SSHCP covered plant species would be addressed through Avoidance and Minimization Measures PLANT-1 and PLANT-2 (if PLANT-1 surveys are positive). While the project area is within 1 mile of the Mather Core area, because suitable habitat for Orcutt grasses is not present, the SSHCP Orcutt-grass specific Avoidance and Minimization Measures are not applicable. b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified 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? No Impact. There are no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities within the boundaries of the project site. As such, implementation of the project would have no effect on these resources. c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means?
Less-than-significant Impact. Based on a site survey conducted by Madrone Ecological Consulting, there are no wetlands or aquatic features within the boundaries of the project site. However, the SSHCP baseline land cover map shows that three small wetlands historically occurred in the area. Based on the results of an October 2021 field visit and on updated existing conditions mapping, two of these wetlands are in an area that has been graded and filled, and the third feature is in an area has also been graded but has reverted to valley grassland (see Figure 3-2). No evidence of ponding or saturated soils were present at the time of the October 2021 survey. The SSHCP authorization process requires review of the baseline land cover mapping and existing land cover documentation and will assign mitigation for impacts based on the confirmed land covers present at the time of authorization. If during the SSHCP review and authorization process any aquatic resources are determined to be present, the project will be required to comply with the mitigation requirements for aquatic resource land cover impacts. Implementation of the SSHCPrequired mitigation would reduce any potential impacts to aquatic resources to a less than significant level.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

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?
No Impact. The Project site does not serve as a corridor between habitat areas, and upland habitat development within an infill site would not substantially interfere with movement of terrestrial or aquatic animals or with use of an established migratory corridor or native wildlife nursery site. e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact. There are no trees or other biological resources protected under local ordinances present within the boundaries of the project site nor would the project require the removal of any trees. As such, implementation of the project would not conflict with an adopted tree preservation ordinance or policy, and no other policies or ordinances related to biological resources are applicable to the project. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is within the SSHCP Plan Area and within the UDA.

The proposed development (i.e., Urban Development in the UDA) is a covered activity under the SSHCP. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the provisions of the adopted SSHCP if all of the appropriate Avoidance and Minimization Measures are implemented as part of the project.

Mitigation Measure 3.4-1: Obtain coverage for the Project under the SSHCP Implement Mitigation Measure 3.4-1 above.

Significance after Mitigation
Implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.4-1 would ensure that the project would be consistent with the SSHCP. The City of Rancho Cordova, as an implementing party of the SSCHP, would process the SSHCP permit. During this process, the City would review the Aquatic Resources Assessment (Appendix B) performed for the site to evaluate the land cover analysis (and proposed elimination of wetlands from the mapping of the project site) and determine the final list of Avoidance and Minimization Measures required to permit the project. This impact would be less than significant.

Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resource pursuant to
Section 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of an archaeological resource pursuant
to Section 15064.5?
c) Substantially disturb human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?

3.5.1 Environmental Setting
The City’s General Plan Cultural and Historic Resources Element lists the city’s identified historic resources and properties. Most of the prehistoric sites are located along the American River and creeks, and some of the sites are known to contain human remains (City of Rancho Cordova 2006a). General Plan Draft EIR Figure 4.11-1 identifies that there are no archaeological or culturally sensitive areas in the project area (City of Rancho Cordova 2006b).

A cultural resources literature search was conducted in November 2021 by the North Central Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System at California State University, Sacramento. The records search was conducted to determine if prehistoric or historic cultural resources had been previously recorded within the project site, the extent to which the project site had been previously surveyed, and the number and type of cultural resources within a 0.25-mile radius of the project area.

The North Central Information Center records search indicated that two prior cultural resource studies have been completed within the project area, and an additional nine studies have been completed within the 0.25-mile records search radius. The records search also revealed that one cultural resource (Folsom Mining District-P-34-000335H) has been previously recorded within the project area, and one cultural resource has been recorded within the 0.25-mile records search radius.

Resource P-34-000335H consists of the Folsom Mining District, which was originally recorded in 1969. The District has undergone various updates which have added mining features including several huge dredge fields, massive tailings piles, buildings, mines, tunnels, canals, camps, cemeteries, and other related features. In 1995, it was recommended that some of the features and dredge fields within the District be eligible under National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR) criteria.

An intensive pedestrian survey of the project area was conducted on December 27, 2021. During the survey, all visible ground surfaces were carefully examined for cultural material (e.g., flaked stone tools, tool-making debris, stone milling tools, or fire-affected rock), soil discoloration that might indicate the presence of a cultural midden, soil depressions and features indicative of the former presence of structures or buildings (e.g., postholes, foundations), and historic-era debris (e.g., metal, glass, ceramics). Ground disturbances (e.g., animal burrows, dirt roads) were also visually inspected. No new cultural resources were identified within the project area during the field survey. Further, no indication of subsurface archaeological remains was noted in areas of past ground-disturbance.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

A portion of the Folsom Mining District (i.e., tailings piles) falls within the project site. The tailings are a contributor to the District (NRHP/CRHR criterion A/1 and C/3); however, the portion of the tailings in the project area has lost integrity through past grading and disturbance. Additionally, the surrounding urbanized development visually detract from any integrity of setting, feeling, or association (NIC 2022).

3.5.2 Discussion
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
No Impact. Historical resources include standing buildings (e.g., houses, barns, outbuildings, cabins) and intact structures (e.g., dams, bridges). “Historical resource” is a term with a defined statutory meaning (PRC Section 21084.1; determining significant impacts to historical and archaeological resources is described in the State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15064.5[a] and [b]). No historic structures were identified within the project site during records search review or surveys of the project site (NIC 2022). Thus, the project would not damage or otherwise change the significance of historical resources.
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. As described above, a portion of the Folsom Mining District (i.e., tailings piles) falls within the project site. The tailings serve as a contributor to the District under CRHR criterion A/1 and C/3; however, they have lost integrity through past grading and disturbance in the area. Therefore, implementation of the project would not damage the portion of the tailings, because the portion within the project site has already lost integrity. Impacts to the Folsom Mining District (P) would be less than significant.

As previously discussed, no indication of subsurface archaeological remains was present during an intensive pedestrian survey of the project area. As such, the potential for discovery of archaeological material is estimated to be low (NIC 2022). Nevertheless, the possibility remains that archaeological materials could be encountered during construction-related ground disturbing activities. This impact would be potentially significant.

Mitigation Measure 3.5-1: Protection of Known and Unknown Archaeological Resources The following shall be implemented during any ground-disturbing activities associated with project construction:
 In the event that unknown buried cultural deposits (e.g., prehistoric stone tools, milling stones, historic glass bottles, foundations, cellars, privy pits) are encountered during project construction, all ground-disturbing activity within 50 feet of the resources shall be halted and a qualified professional archaeologist (36 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 61) and appropriate Native American tribal representative shall be notified immediately and retained to assess the significance of the find. Construction activities could continue in other areas.  If the find is determined to be significant by the qualified archaeologist or Native American tribe (i.e., because it is determined to constitute either a historical resource or a unique archaeological resource), the archaeologist shall develop appropriate procedures to protect the integrity of the resource and ensure that no additional resources are affected. Procedures could include but would not necessarily be limited to preservation in place, archival research, subsurface testing, or contiguous block unit excavation and data recovery.  If the qualified archaeologist determines the archaeological material to be Native American in nature, the City of Rancho Cordova shall contact the culturally affiliated Native American tribe for their input on the preferred treatment of the find.

ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

Significance after Mitigation
Implementation of Mitigation Measure 3.5-1 would reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level by requiring cessation of work, implementation of proper data recovery, and/or preservation procedures upon discovery of previously unknown resources.
c) Substantially disturb human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less than Significant. Based on documentary research, no evidence suggests that any prehistoric or historic-era marked or un-marked human interments are present within or in the immediate vicinity of the project site. However, the location of grave sites and Native American remains can occur outside of identified cemeteries or burial sites.

Therefore, there is a possibility that unmarked, previously unknown Native American or other graves could be present within the project site and could be uncovered by project-related construction activities.

California law recognizes the need to protect Native American human burials, skeletal remains, and items associated with Native American burials from vandalism and inadvertent destruction. The procedures for the treatment of Native American human remains are contained in California Health and Safety Code Sections 7050.5 and PRC Section 5097.

These statutes require that, if human remains are discovered during any construction activities, potentially damaging ground-disturbing activities in the area of the remains shall be halted immediately, and the Sacramento County coroner and Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) shall be notified immediately, in accordance with to PRC Section 5097.98 and Section 7050.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code. If the remains are determined by NAHC to be Native American, the guidelines of the NAHC shall be adhered to in the treatment and disposition of the remains.

Following the coroner’s findings, the archaeologist, the NAHC-designated Most Likely Descendant, and the landowner shall determine the ultimate treatment and disposition of the remains and take appropriate steps to ensure that additional human interments are not disturbed. The responsibilities for acting upon notification of a discovery of Native American human remains are identified in PRC Section 5097.94.

The City’s General Plan, Action CHR 1.3.2, states the City will incorporate the following condition in applicable permits for all discretionary projects:

The Planning Department shall be notified immediately if any human remains are uncovered and all construction must stop in vicinity of the find. The Planning Division shall notify the County Coroner according to Section 7050.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code. If the remains are determined to be Native American, the procedures outlined in CEQA Section 15064.5 (d) and (e) shall be followed.

Compliance with California Health and Safety Code Sections 7050.5 and PRC Section 5097, as directed by the conditions of approval required through application of General Plan Action CHR 1.3.2, would provide an opportunity to avoid or minimize the disturbance of human remains, and to appropriately treat any remains that are discovered.

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?
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for
renewable energy or energy efficiency?

3.6.1 Environmental Setting
California relies on a regional power system composed of a diverse mix of natural gas, petroleum, renewable, hydroelectric, and nuclear generation resources:
 Natural gas: Almost two-thirds of California households use natural gas for home heating, and about half of California’s utility-scale net electricity generation is fueled by natural gas (EIA 2021).  Petroleum: Petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), which are consumed almost exclusively by the transportation sector, account for almost 99 percent of the energy used in California by the transportation sector, with the rest provided by ethanol, natural gas, and electricity (Bureau of Transportation Statistics 2017). Between January 2007 and May 2016, an average of approximately 672 billion gallons of gasoline were purchased in California (California State Board of Equalization 2016). Gasoline and diesel fuel sold in California for motor vehicles is refined in California to meet specific formulations required by the CARB (EIA 2021).  Electricity and renewables: The California Energy Commission estimates that 34 percent of California’s retail electricity sales in 2018 was provided by Renewable Portfolio Standard-eligible renewable resources (EIA 2021).  Alternative fuels: Conventional gasoline and diesel may be replaced (depending on the capability of the vehicle) with many alternative transportation fuels (e.g., biodiesel, hydrogen, electricity). Use of alternative fuels is encouraged through various statewide regulations and plans (e.g., Low Carbon Fuel Standard, 2017 Scoping Plan).

Electricity service in the City of Rancho Cordova is provided by Sacramento Municipal Utility District and natural gas service is provided by Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

3.6.2 Discussion
a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less than Significant. The proposed project would increase energy use from existing conditions from both construction and operational activities.

Construction
Energy would be required to operate and maintain construction equipment and transport construction materials. The one-time energy expenditure required to construct the physical buildings and infrastructure associated with the ITEM 21.1. ATTACHMENT 1

Project would be nonrecoverable. Most energy consumption would result from operation of off-road construction equipment and on-road vehicle trips associated with commutes by construction workers and haul trucks trips.

Table 3.6-1 summarizes the levels of energy consumption associated with the construction of the project by construction year. Most of the construction-related energy consumption would be associated with off-road equipment and the transport of equipment and waste using on-road haul trucks for all phases of construction. An estimated 91,194 gallons of gasoline and 41,964 gallons of diesel fuel would be used during construction of the project (see Appendix D).

The energy needs for project construction would be temporary and are not anticipated to require additional capacity or substantially increase peak or base period demands for electricity and other forms of energy.

Associated energy consumption would be typical of that associated with commercial and residential projects of this size in an urban setting. Automotive fuels would be consumed to transport people to and from the project site. Energy would be required for construction elements and transport construction materials. The one-time energy expenditure required to construct the physical infrastructure associated with the project would be nonrecoverable. There is no atypical construction related energy demand associated with the proposed project.

Non-renewable energy would not be consumed in a wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary manner when compared to other construction activity in the region.

Operation
The project would increase electricity consumption in the region relative to existing conditions. However, the new facilities would, at a minimum, be built to 2019 Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, which are 53 percent more efficient than 2016 Standards (CEC 2018). In addition, all buildings (residential and non-residential) would participate in SMUD’s SolarShares program, increasing the amount of clean/renewable energy sources compared to projects that do not participate in the SolarShares program. Further, the residential buildings would be electric-only and the natural gas use associated with the community center would be limited to two outdoor fire pits, cooking appliances (i.e., grills), and heating for the pool/spa; thus, natural gas use would be minimal. Table 3.6-2 summarizes the levels of energy consumption associated with the operation of the project for the first full year (2026) of operations compared to the existing land uses.

Table 3.6-2 Operational Energy Consumption
Energy Type Energy Consumption Units
Electricity 1,597 MWh/year
Natural Gas 14,081 Therms/year
Gasoline 196,025 gal/year
Diesel 6,770 gal/year
Notes: MWh/year = megawatt-hours per year; gal/year = gallons per year.

Operation of the project would be typical of residential and commercial uses requiring electricity for lighting, climate control, kitchen facilities, and miscellaneous appliances. Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards would be integrated into the project to reduce the projects energy demands. Furthermore, as discussed in Section 3.17, “Transportation”, the project is in an area where the VMT is lower than 15 percent of the regional household average.

The net fuel consumption associated with project-related vehicle trips would not be considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary in comparison to other similar developments in the region. State and federal regulations regarding fuel efficiency standards for vehicles in California are designed to reduce wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary use of energy for transportation
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency?
No Impact. Relevant plans that pertain to the efficient use of energy include the Energy Efficiency Action Plan, which focuses on energy efficiency and building decarbonization (CEC 2019); as well as the City’s General Plan, which seeks to reduce per capita energy consumption through education and development of energy efficiency buildings.

As discussed in Impact 3.6-1, although implementation of the project has the potential to result in the overall increase in consumption of energy resources during construction and operation of new buildings and facilities, implementation of the project would ensure various energy conservation and generation features would be incorporated into new development including the installation of renewable energy features and the installation of energy efficient appliances and features, which would align with the Energy Efficiency Action Plan and City’s General Plan. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct a State or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency.
