MEMORANDUM
City Council Staff Report - Page 1 of 2

ITEM 9.2.

DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Micah Runner, City Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE

THE ADDITION OF CESAR CHAVEZ DAY AND JUNETEENTH AS
HOLIDAYS BEGINNING IN 2024

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
By adopting the Resolution, the City-approved holidays would include the last Monday in March (Cesar Chavez Day) and June 19, 2024 (Juneteenth) annually as City holidays, effective January 1, 2024. This will change the paid holidays from 11 paid holidays per calendar year, plus one (1) floating holiday, to 13 paid holidays per calendar year. The one floating holiday will be removed effective January 1, 2024. This change will put us in line with the cities of Folsom, Citrus Heights, and Sacramento for the number of paid holidays per year.

BACKGROUND
The City of Rancho Cordova is a diverse community of over 81,000 who live here and 65,000 who work here. Rancho Cordova is the 29th most diverse city in the United States (according to Esmi). Our Rancho Cordova community celebrates and supports this diversity in many ways throughout the year. In recognition of this diversity, and to honor the contributions of our community and as a workplace, these additional holidays shall be recognized beginning in calendar year 2024.

On June 17, 2021, President Biden signed a Proclamation declaring June 19, 2021, as Juneteenth Day of Observance, which officially recognizes Juneteenth as a federal holiday.

Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. This was more than two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which became official January 1, 1863.

Historically, Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of four million enslaved Black people, whose freedom was delayed two and a half years. The day is promoted by celebrating black history, culture, and achievements, as well as by advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Cesar Chavez Day commemorates the history of the farm labor movement in the United States and honors the birth and legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist. On August 18,

Page 16 of 685 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

2000, the Governor of the State of California signed Senate Bill 984, which provides, among other things, that the 31st of March is a paid holiday for state employees. Other states such as Arizona, Washington, and Utah observe Cesar Chavez Day. The City of Sacramento has recognized Cesar Chavez’s birthday as a City holiday since the 1990’s.

Many employers across the United States have implemented a paid holiday for employees on the 31st of March for Cesar Chavez Day and on the 19th of June for Juneteenth. The City of Rancho Cordova currently recognizes 11 City holidays and (one) 1 floating holiday annually. As part of the City’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and in recognition of the important contributions of Cesar Chavez and the civil rights movement, it’s desired to declare Cesar Chavez Day on the last Monday in March as a City holiday as well as Juneteenth Day of Observance on the 19th of June as a City holiday to recognize the origins of the holiday and its legacy of struggle for racial equality and to celebrate the accomplishments of Black people.

RESOLUTION NO. XX-2023

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA,

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO APPROVE THE

ADDITION OF CESAR CHAVEZ DAY AND JUNETEENTH AS HOLIDAYS BEGINNING IN 2024
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cordova is a diverse community of over 81,000 who live here and 65,000 who work here. Rancho Cordova is the 29th most diverse city in the United States (according to Esmi). Our Rancho Cordova community celebrates and supports this diversity in many ways throughout the year. In recognition of this diversity, and to honor the contributions of our community and as a workplace, these additional holidays shall be recognized beginning in calendar year 2024; and
WHEREAS, on June 17, 2021, President Biden signed a Proclamation declaring June 19, 2021, as Juneteenth Day of Observance, which officially recognizes Juneteenth as a federal holiday. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. This was more than two years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which became official January 1, 1863; and WHEREAS, Cesar Chavez Day commemorates the history of the farm labor movement in the United States and honors the birth and legacy of the civil rights and labor movement activist. On August 18, 2000, the Governor of the State of California signed Senate Bill 984, which provides, among other things, that the 31st of March is a paid holiday for state employees.

Other states such as Arizona, Washington, and Utah observe Cesar Chavez Day. The City of Sacramento has recognized Cesar Chavez’s birthday as a City holiday since the 1990’s; and WHEREAS, many employers across the United States have implemented a paid holiday for employees on the 31st of March for Cesar Chavez Day and on the 19th of June for Juneteenth. The City of Rancho Cordova currently recognizes 11 City holidays and (one) 1 floating holiday annually. As part of the City’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and in recognition of the important contributions of Cesar Chavez and the civil rights movement, it’s desired to declare Cesar Chavez Day on the last Monday in March as a City holiday as well as Juneteenth Day of Observance on the 19th of June as a City holiday to recognize the origins of the holiday and its legacy of struggle for racial equality and to celebrate the accomplishments of Black people. Beginning in calendar year 2024, City employees shall receive a paid holiday for Cesar Chavez Day, the last Monday of March, and for Juneteenth Day of Observance, the 19th of June. When the 19th of June falls on a Saturday, it generally will be observed on the previous Friday. If a holiday falls on a Sunday, it generally will be observed on the following Monday.

Additionally, city facilities will be closed on these two holidays (last Monday of March and 19th of June or the day on which it is recognized, when the 19th of June falls on a weekend). The one floating holiday will be removed starting in 2024, thereby bringing the total number of paid holidays to 13 annually.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA authorizes the City Manager to approve the addition of Cesar Chavez Day and Juneteenth as paid holidays and to remove one floating holiday beginning in 2024.

No refund in excess of 85 percent of the total amount of the improvement security for faithful performance shall be made until all the work has been completed and accepted.
(b) The determination of the Administrator of Public Works of City as to the amount of work done, and the amount of refund or partial release pro tanto, shall be final and conclusive.

ITEM 9.4.

DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Albert Stricker, Public Works Director
Dalia Fadl, Principal Engineer
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 58-2019-3 WITH COASTLINE WATER
RESOURCES, INC. TO INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT FROM
$2,335,000 TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $3,285,000 FOR

STORM RESPONSE SERVICES FUNDED BY A FEMA GRANT

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 58-2019-3 to increase the contract amount from $2,335,000 to an amount not to exceed $3,285,000 for the provision of storm drain maintenance services by Coastline Water Resources, Inc. for storm response services funded by a FEMA grant.

BACKGROUND
The City of Rancho Cordova’s storm drain system includes more than 250 miles of underground pipes, six pump stations, six regional flood control basins, and more than 70 acres of creek channels or tributaries to the American River. Water flows to the river through the channels without additional treatment or filtration, so effective maintenance of the system is essential for preventing trash, debris, or pollutants from eventually reaching the American River.

The work conducted under this contract includes furnishing all labor, materials, tools, and equipment to perform emergency response services within City-maintained stormwater facilities, including but not limited to pipes, inlets, culverts, bridges, and manholes as well as other items as designated by the City Engineer.

On October 7, 2019, City Council approved Contract No. 58-2019 in an amount not to exceed $1,285,710 with Coastline Water Resources, Inc. for storm drain maintenance services.

Coastline Water Resources, Inc. has provided an excellent performance record and an effective understanding of the city’s desired level of services.

On January 14, 2023, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued a notice of the Presidential Declaration of a major disaster for the State of California due to severe winter

Page 36 of 685 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

storms, flooding, and mudslides. The California Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides Disaster Declaration FEMA-4683-DR (declaration) included notice of intent to provide financial assistance for emergency debris removal and emergency protective measures in counties affected by the disaster, including Sacramento County. As a local government within Sacramento County, the city was eligible to apply for Public Assistance grant funds. Subsequent amendments to the declaration further expanded the local, grant-eligible scope of work to "permanent work” on roads and bridges, water control facilities, public buildings and equipment, public utilities, parks, recreational, and other facilities.

City staff closely coordinated with FEMA and California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) officials to identify necessary and reasonable maintenance work at City storm drain facilities affected by the winter storms. City staff have successfully obtained approval of public agency assistance funding from FEMA to perform repairs associated with storms from last winter, including storm drain repair and cleaning, erosion repair, pavement repair, and street signs' repair.

The City is seeking to execute contract amendment three with Coastline Water Resources, Inc. to increase the contract amount from $2,335,000 to an amount not to exceed $3,285,000. The cost increase is necessary to provide storm response services in support of work associated with the California Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides Disaster Declaration (FEMA-4683-DR).

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
Funding for this contract amendment is through a FEMA grant for cost recovery of all incurred repair cost. There is no impact to the City’s general fund.

8/24/23, 1:33 PM DR-4683-CA Public Notice 004 | FEMA.gov https://www.fema.gov/disaster-federal-register-notice/dr-4683-ca-public-notice-004 4/8 Individual Assistance is authorized by Section 408 of the Stafford Act. FEMA may provide IA program funding for disaster-related emergency housing. These actions may adversely affect a floodplain/wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to floods. These actions may include repair, restoration or construction of housing or private bridges, purchase and placement of travel trailers or manufactured housing units, or repair of structures as minimum protective measures. This will be the only public notice concerning these actions.

The Public Assistance Program is authorized by Sections 403, 406, and 407 of the Stafford Act. FEMA may provide financial assistance under the Public Assistance Program for the State of California, local and Indian tribal governments, and private nonprofit organizations to perform debris removal and emergency protective measures.

The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is authorized by Section 404 of the Stafford Act.

Under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, FEMA may provide financial assistance for the State of California, local and Indian tribal governments, and private nonprofit organizations to implement mitigation measures to reduce the risk of life and property from future disasters during the recovery from the major disaster. In the course of developing project proposals, subsequent public notices will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available.

II. Public Notice – Financial Assistance for Activities that Affect Historic Properties or Located in or that Affect Wetlands Areas or Floodplains Some of the activities for which FEMA provides financial assistance under the Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs may affect historic properties, may be located in or affect wetland areas or the 100-year floodplain, and may involve critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. In accordance with all requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), all federal actions must be reviewed and evaluated for feasible alternatives. FEMA must also comply with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management; Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands; the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Pub. L.

No. 89-655 (1966) (codified as amended at 16 U.S.C. § 470 et seq.) (NHPA); and the implementing regulations at 44 C.F.R. pt. 9 and 36 C.F.R. pt. 800. The executive orders, NHPA, and regulations require FEMA to provide public notice for certain activities as part of approving the award of financial assistance for specific projects.

A. Federal Actions in or Affecting Floodplains and Wetlands FEMA has determined for certain types of facilities there are normally no alternatives to restoration in the floodplain or wetland. These are facilities meeting all of the following criteria:

ITEM 9.4. ATTACHMENT 3

Page 45 of 685 ends

8/24/23, 1:33 PM DR-4683-CA Public Notice 004 | FEMA.gov https://www.fema.gov/disaster-federal-register-notice/dr-4683-ca-public-notice-004 5/8 1) FEMA’s estimate of the cost of repairs is less than 50% of the cost to replace the entire facility and is less than $100,000; 2) the facility is not located in a floodway; 3) the facility has not sustained major structural damage in a previous Presidentially declared flooding disaster or emergency; and 4) the facility is not critical (e.g., the facility is not a hospital, generating plant, emergency operations center, or a facility containing dangerous materials). FEMA intends to provide assistance for the restoration of these facilities to their pre-disaster condition, except certain measures to mitigate the effect of future flooding or other hazards may be included in the work.

For example, a bridge or culvert restoration may include a larger waterway opening to decrease the risk of future washouts.

For routine activities, this will be the only public notice provided. Other activities and those involving facilities not meeting the four criteria are required to undergo more detailed review, including the study of alternate locations. Subsequent public notices regarding such projects will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available.

In many cases, an applicant may have started facility restoration before federal involvement. Even if the facility must undergo detailed review and analysis of alternate locations, FEMA will fund eligible restoration at the original location if the facility is functionally dependent on its floodplain location (e.g., bridges and flood control facilities), or the project facilitates an open space use, or the facility is an integral part of a larger network which is impractical or uneconomical to relocate, such as a road. In such cases, FEMA must also examine the possible effects of not restoring the facility, minimizing floodplain or wetland impacts, and determining both an overriding public need for the facility clearly outweighs the Executive Order requirements to avoid the floodplain or wetland, and the site selected is the only practicable alternative. The State and local officials will confirm to FEMA the proposed actions comply with all applicable federal, state, and local floodplain management and wetland protection requirements.

The Public Assistance (PA) Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) partial implementation policy, effective for all major disasters declared on or after June 3, 2022, applies to PA projects in the 1% annual chance floodplain (1% and 0.2% annual chance floodplains for critical actions) involving new construction of structures, structures that have a substantial damage determination, or structures that require substantial improvement. The policy applies regardless of the cause of damage.

The Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) FFRMS partial implementation policy applies to non- critical actions involving structure elevation, dry floodproofing, and mitigation reconstruction in the 1% annual chance floodplain. For all FEMA programs and project types, if a state, local, tribal, or territorial government has its own higher elevation standard, FEMA requires use of the higher standard. FEMA program policies also ITEM 9.4. ATTACHMENT 3

8/24/23, 1:33 PM DR-4683-CA Public Notice 004 | FEMA.gov https://www.fema.gov/disaster-federal-register-notice/dr-4683-ca-public-notice-004 6/8 reference additional consensus codes and standards, such as ASCE-24-14, that incorporate additional elevation requirements beyond the base flood elevation.

B. Federal Actions Affecting Historic Properties
Section 106 of the NHPA requires FEMA to consider the effects of its activities (known as undertakings) on any historic property and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) an opportunity to comment on such projects before the expenditure of any federal funds. An Individual Assistance, Public Assistance, or Hazard Mitigation Grant Program activity is an “undertaking” for the purposes of the NHPA, and a historic property is any property which is included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). For historic properties which will not be adversely affected by FEMA’s undertaking, this will be the only public notice. FEMA may provide additional public notices if a proposed FEMA undertaking would adversely affect a historic property.

III. Further Information or Comment
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protects the civil rights of persons with disabilities. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by the federal government, federal contractors, and by recipients of federal financial assistance. Any recipient or subrecipient of federal funds is required to make their programs accessible to individuals with disabilities. Its protections apply to all programs and businesses receiving any federal funds. This applies to all elements of physical/architectural, programmatic and communication accessibility in all services and activities conducted by or funded by FEMA. FEMA intends to comply with the Rehabilitation Act in all federally conducted and assisted programs in alignment with the principals of whole community inclusion and universal accessibility.

Executive Orders 13985 and 14008 further address the need to achieve environmental justice and equity across the federal government. The issuance of the new executive orders more than 20 years after Executive Order 12898 was signed indicates the administration’s directive to federal agencies to renew their energy, effort, resources, and attention to environmental justice. FEMA is working with applicants/subapplicants to identify communities with Environmental Justice concerns and provide an avenue for local groups and non-profits with an Environmental Justice mission to self-identify so FEMA Programs can start to work with them on specific projects from the beginning of the application process.

FEMA also intends to provide HMGP funding to the State of California to mitigate future disaster damages. These projects may include construction of new facilities, modification of existing, undamaged facilities, relocation of facilities out of floodplains, demolition of structures, or other types of projects to mitigate future ITEM 9.4.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2021-337-2 WITH R.E.Y. ENGINEERS, INC. WILL EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM FROM JUNE 24, 2024,
TO DECEMBER 31, 2026 AND INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT
FROM $707,182 TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED OF $945,026

FOR THE COUNTRYSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD STREET

REHABILITATION PROJECT

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 2021-337-2 with R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc. for the Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project. This will extend the contract term from June 30, 2024, to December 31, 2026 and increase the contract amount from $707,182 to an amount not to exceed $945,026 for the Countryside Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project.

BACKGROUND
The Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project (Project) is located in the neighborhood bordered by Routier Road, Folsom Boulevard, Mather Field Road, Rockingham Drive, and Old Placerville Road (Attachment 3). The Project will include an overlay of existing pavement to improve the road surfaces, sidewalk repairs and curb ramp upgrades to achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, storm drain upgrades to improve flood protection and conveyance, and other incidental work as required.

On January 3, 2022, City Council approved Contract No. 2021-337 for R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc. to provide on-call engineering and design services for the Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project in an amount not to exceed $616,948.

On October 4, 2022, City Council approved contract No. 2021-337-1 (Amendment 1) for R.E.Y.

Engineers, Inc. (R.E.Y.) to provide additional engineering and design services including utility locating and survey monument investigation and field verification.

Page 50 of 685 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

Due to the availability of funding in the City’s Capital Improvement Program, the City adjusted construction of the Project from 2024 to the year 2025. By extending the project schedule to 2025, construction engineering support services cannot be provided until a future time.

Therefore, the original PSA contract requires an extension until completion of the Project.

Contract Amendment No. 2021-337-2 will add funds to the Project to provide additional services including traffic signal design for enhanced video detection, enhanced sidewalk design, drainage design and connections, pavement investigation, coordination with stakeholder agencies, survey monument preservation and extending the construction date. This amendment will also provide post-construction corner survey reports and re-establishment of survey monuments.

Performing these proposed services will result in the complete design of additional infrastructure improvements and a thorough set of construction documents for the project.

City staff selected R.E.Y. as the project designer from a list of pre-qualified engineering consultants. City staff recommended award of the original contract with R.E.Y. based on their qualifications and experience designing similar projects. To maintain consistency of the project design and current project schedule, City staff recommend authorizing Amendment 2 with R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc.

It is anticipated that the Project design will be complete in 2024 and construction is anticipated to begin in second half of 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
Contract Amendment No. 2021-337-2 is funded through Gas Tax. There is no impact to the City’s General Fund.

Public Works Department
2729 Prospect Park Drive
Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 sent via email: [email protected] Subject: Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project – Contract Amendment No. 2 Scope and Fee for Additional Final Design and Construction Services
Dear Mr. Yabes,
Thank you for the opportunity to work with the City of Rancho Cordova (City) on the Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project (Project). Due to the availability of project funding, the City has elected to delay the construction of the Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project to the year 2025. This amendment request includes services corresponding to the change in delivery schedule as well as additional services requested for the betterment of the project.

Below is an overview of the proposed scope of work for Contract Amendment No. 2:

Task II.1 – Project Management (existing task) - $18,172 Postponing construction to the year 2025 extends the overall timeframe that we had anticipated providing services to the City by approximately 18 months. We are requesting a supplemental budget to perform project management tasks throughout those additional 18 months to facilitate the new tasks and added services to existing tasks detailed below including traffic signal design, inclusion of the Ellenwood sidewalk improvements, creation of a Pavement Preservation Memo, project coordination with Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT), and survey monument preservation work. These additional Project Management tasks include, but are not limited to, budget monitoring, schedule monitoring, internal oversight, subconsultant oversight, and coordination with City Staff.

Task II.7 – 100% PS&E/Bid Documents (existing task) - $34,194 To facilitate the changing construction schedule, R.E.Y. will provide services to create a new plan set, project specifications and engineer’s estimate containing only those improvements in Routier Road and Ellenwood Avenue. To aid in the 100% design, additional geotechnical investigations and a final geotechnical report will be prepared. Additional services include utility coordination, and preparation of CEQA documentation.

Task II.10 – Traffic Signal Design (new task) - $18,031 R.E.Y. will provide services to accommodate the City’s desire to upgrade the traffic signal at the intersection of Old Placerville Road and Rockingham Drive to a video detection system. The video detection system will replace the existing detector loops located within the pavement which conflict with the project’s roadway improvements. These additional services include design of the traffic signal modifications and integration into the project plans, specifications, and engineer’s estimates.

Task II.11 – Ellenwood Sidewalk (new task) - $22,978
R.E.Y. will provide services to accommodate the City’s desire to close a gap in the existing pedestrian network on Ellenwood Avenue. This task consists of topographic surveying, design, and right of way acquisition for the inclusion of curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements along 10122 Ellenwood Avenue into the project documents. Also included are utility coordination efforts to relocate several SMUD owned utility poles that are in conflict with the proposed improvements and attendance at one (1) meeting with the property owner.

EXHIBIT C Page 1 of 5 ITEM 9.5. ATTACHMENT 2

Page 58 of 685 ends

Task II.12 – Pavement Preservation Memo (new task) - $8,297 In recent years, the City has completed pavement preservation projects using different preservation types, techniques and materials on various streets within the City. The Pavement Preservation Memo task includes the efforts necessary to develop a set of standards for the City to use on the Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project and for future projects that will address pavement preservation. R.E.Y. Engineers will accompany the City on one half-day site visit to tour streets that have recently received pavement preservation treatment. Using information gathered during the site visit, input from the City, and project specifications provided by the City, R.E.Y. Engineers will develop a Pavement Preservation Memo which will include a selection matrix that will provide direction on what type of pavement preservation technique should be implemented given the characteristics of a roadway.

Task II.13 – SacRT Coordination (new task) - $8,426
The Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) Mather Field/Mills Station light rail station is located off Mill Station Road, which will undergo full roadway reconstruction with this project. To avoid interruptions to SacRT’s operations during construction, R.E.Y. will create a staging plan, specific to this cause, to be included in the project plans. We will also incorporate language in the special provisions that alert the contractor to the sensitivity of this work zone and to ensure all additional traffic control, staging and sequencing costs are included by the contractor at the time of bidding.

Task III.4 – Survey Monument Preservation (new task) - $106,496 The City has elected to expand the surveying efforts on this project to include survey monument preservation. Authorized as a part of Contract Amendment No. 1, R.E.Y. performed office research and field verification of the existing survey monuments within the project site and found 157 monuments that would likely be disturbed or destroyed during construction. Services included with this contract amendment request include final determination of the monuments which may be disturbed or destroyed, preparing and filing pre-construction and post construction corner records, and reestablishing the affected monuments after construction. During construction, the contractor shall install a concrete monument and monument well per Caltrans Standard Plan A74 and R.E.Y. will punch and finalize the brass disk after construction.

Task II.7, Task II. 8, Task II. 9, Task III.1, Task III.2, and Task III.3 (existing tasks) – Rate Adjustment $21,250 Due to the adjustment of the project schedule, it is anticipated that a portion of the efforts necessary to complete the existing tasks listed above will occur beyond the expiration of the project fee schedule. The supplemental budget requested will adjust our contract amount to accommodate updated rates as shown on the attached Countryside Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project Fee Schedule.

The above tasks sum to a total of $237,844 which would increase our current contract amount from $707,182 to $945,026.

In addition to the tasks listed above, we would like to request that the expiration date of our contract be extended to December 31st, 2026. We are also requesting approval to use the updated Fee Schedule attached beginning on January 1st, 2024.

Thank you for your consideration of these additional project services. If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Jim Fisher, PE, QSD/P

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Lorianne Ulm, Community Engagement Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2022-212-1 WITH REBUILDING

TOGETHER SACRAMENTO WILL EXTEND THE CONTRACT TERM
FROM OCTOBER 31, 2024, TO JUNE 30, 2025 AND INCREASE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT FROM $300,000 TO AN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $650,000 FOR FUNDING THE REBUILDING TOGETHER

SACRAMENTO CRITICAL REPAIR PROGRAM

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Contract No. 2022- 212-1 with Rebuilding Together Sacramento to provide critical repair services to residences owned by low and moderate-income persons, the elderly, or disabled, in the City of Rancho Cordova, which will benefit the City of Rancho Cordova and its residents by increasing the health and safety of residents of Rancho Cordova.

BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 119-2022 for projects and programs to be funded from the approved Measure H 1/2 cent sales tax measure for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. Additionally, on June 15, 2020, the City Council approved Resolution No. 64-2020 which also approved projects and programs to be funded from the approved Measure H 1/2 cent sales tax measure for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

Exhibit A to both Resolution No. 64-2020 and Resolution No. 119-2022, allocated funding for community development, community building, outreach, community service activities, and beautification projects, programs, and incentives.

In an effort to provide additional support to our community, the City entered into a two-year contract with Rebuilding Together Sacramento on November 1, 2022 to provide critical repairs and maintenance work on residences owned by low-and moderate-income persons, the elderly, or disabled, in the City of Rancho Cordova, which will benefit the City of Rancho Cordova and its residents by increasing the health and safety of resident of Rancho Cordova.

This first amendment to the Agreement modifies the end date of the contract from October 31,

Page 64 of 685 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

2024, to June 30, 2025, and provides additional funds to increase the number of critical repairs and maintenance work on residences owned by low-and moderate-income persons, the elderly, or disabled, in the City of Rancho Cordova. The first amendment extends the contract term from October 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 and amends the agreement for use of City funds to increase the total available project allocation by an additional Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), from Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) to Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000), which equates to One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) from November 1, 2022 to October 31, 2023, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000 November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2024), and Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000 November 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025).

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
There is no additional fiscal impact since the available funding was already authorized under Resolution No. 64-2020 and Resolution No. 119-2022 under Measure H and approved under the Measure R budget for Fiscal Year 2023/24 and Fiscal Year 2024/2025.

Some of the CalRecycle grants programs are for: utilizing rubberized pavement on street paving projects, offering an oil recycling program, outreach for household hazardous waste recycling, and commercial organics program implementation. CalRecycle requires jurisdictions who wish to apply for grant funds to adopt a Resolution that authorizes the submittal of the grant applications to CalRecycle and designates signing authority on behalf of the City of Rancho Cordova. CalRecycle allows this Resolution to remain in effect for five (5) years. To date, the City has been awarded over $900,000 in CalRecycle funding for various Projects and Programs.

The City Council approved Resolution 133-2018 on October 15, 2018, authorizing the Public Works Director to submit and execute applications and documents for CalRecycle grants effective for five (5) years through October 15, 2023. In order for the City to continue to apply and receive CalRecycle grants, an updated Resolution that will remain in effect for the next five (5) years needs to be approved.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
To date, the City has been awarded over $900,000 in CalRecycle funding for various Projects and Programs. There is no anticipated fiscal impact of the proposed action to the City's General Fund.

City Council Staff Report - Page 1 of 2

ITEM 10.1.

DATE: September 18, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Stefan Heisler, Senior Management Analyst I
SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS APPROVING THE RANCHO CORDOVA CLIMATE

ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLAN INITIAL STUDY/NEGATIVE

DECLARATION AND FINAL DRAFT CLIMATE ACTION AND

ADAPTATION PLAN

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt the Resolution approving a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Negative Declaration for the Rancho Cordova Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.

2. Adopt the Resolution approving the Rancho Cordova Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the two Resolutions will adopt the CEQA Initial Study/Negative Declaration and the Rancho Cordova Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.

BACKGROUND
Staff presented the final draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) to the City Council on August 23, 2023. At that meeting the City Council voted to approve and adopt the required CEQA Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) and the Final Draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. However, following the meeting, a technical deficiency was identified in the IS/ND resolution. The Resolution lacked the required finding language required by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Implementation Guidelines Section 15074(b). This item corrects that error for the City Council’s consideration for adoption of the corrected IS/ND resolution (Attachment 1) as well as the second resolution (Attachment 2) to adopt the Final Draft CAAP following adoption of the IS/ND. The attached Final Draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan also includes the minor edit requested by the Cordova Recreation and Parks District within the supporting actions to clarify agency roles with regards to events and programs on other agency-owned properties.

Climate Action and Adaptation Plan CEQA Review
Environmental review of the CAAP is required by CEQA and the draft environmental document has been completed and released for a 30-day public review period from June 2, through July 1, 2023. Performing environmental review of the CAAP is also one of the required elements of a CEQA Qualified CAAP (CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5[b][b1]. The CAAP Initial

Page 80 of 685 ends

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2

Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) is attached to this report. The following is a summary of this information.

An Initial Study (IS) analyzing the potential environmental impacts of adopting and implementing the CAAP was conducted and a Negative Declaration (ND) prepared pursuant to CEQA requirements. The IS shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the city, that the implementation of the CAAP may have a significant effect on the environment.

Four letters were received by staff in response to the IS/ND from the following respondents:

California Department of Transportation, 350 Sacramento, Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, and Sacramento Regional Transit District. In response to these comments, no changes were made to the IS/ND. Because no changes that materially affect the analysis or conclusions were made, no recirculation is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. Further, none of the comments received affect the adequacy of the IS/ND to address the proposed project. The comment letters received, and city responses to environmental issues raised in the comments are included in the IS/ND.

Staff recommends adoption of the IS/ND to meet CEQA requirements through the attached Resolution (Attachment 1).

Next Steps
Following CAAP adoption, staff will develop an implementation strategy, apply to available grant opportunities to implement CAAP actions, and return to the City Council as needed to receive direction on implementation of CAAP actions. The Final Draft CAAP Implementation and Monitoring chapter identifies future steps for required CAAP updates, including a monitoring report every two (2) years and updating the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory every five (5) years.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
There is no additional fiscal impact with the requested action, as the Final Draft CAAP and CEQA ND are planning documents identifying prioritized actions for further development and implementation. Prioritized CAAP actions that require approval by City Council will be brought back to the City Council for review and approval, including allocating funds, approving ordinances or other actions.

NEGATIVE DECLARATION
PROJECT: CLIMATE ACTION AND ADAPTATION PLAN
LEAD AGENCY: CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the lead agency is the public agency with primary responsibility over approval of the project. The City of Rancho Cordova (City) is the CEQA lead agency because it is responsible for adoption and implementation of the proposed Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
The proposed project is a CAAP, which the City of Rancho Cordova (City) has prepared to serve as a comprehensive roadmap to community sustainability and resilience. The purposes of the CAAP are to identify strategies and measures the City can take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to levels that align with the State of California’s goals and set forth strategies to adapt and promote resilience to the impacts of climate change.

The fundamental purposes of the proposed CAAP are to set forth a plan for reducing the City’s communitywide GHG emissions to levels in alignment with statewide targets and increasing the city’s resilience to existing and anticipated climate change hazards. The City has developed the following objectives for the proposed CAAP:
 Prepare a baseline GHG emissions inventory of community-wide sources of emissions in the City, and project the potential growth of these emissions over time;
 Establish a local target for 2030 and a local goal for 2045 aligned with the statewide targets of SB 32 and AB 1279;
 Develop and quantify actions the City can take to reduce communitywide emissions to levels that meet or exceed its 2030 target and make substantial progress toward its 2045 goal;  Meet the requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(2) regarding “Plans for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions” to provide streamlining of GHG emissions analysis for future projects that are consistent with the proposed CAAP; and
 Identify the city’s vulnerabilities to existing and anticipated climate change hazards, and set forth actions the City can take to protect people and property by adapting to these hazards and improving resilience.

FINDINGS
An Initial Study has been prepared to assess the project’s potential effects on the environment and the significance of those effects. Based on the Initial Study, the City has determined that the project would not have any significant effects on the environment. Therefore, no mitigation measures are proposed.

Pursuant to Section 21082.1 of the California Environmental Quality Act, the City has independently reviewed and analyzed the Initial Study and Negative Declaration for the project and finds that the Initial Study and Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment of the City. _________________________________________

1 INTRODUCTION
This Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration includes responses from the City of Rancho Cordova (City) to public comments on the draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) for the proposed Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). The draft IS/ND was circulated for a 30-day public review period, from June 2, 2023, through July 1, 2023. Consistent with State CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(d), the City has considered all comments received on the draft IS/ND. No changes or revisions have been made to the draft IS/ND since its publication for public review. A copy of the draft IS/ND is included as Appendix A to this Final IS/ND.

1.1 PROJECT SUMMARY
The proposed project is a CAAP, which the City of Rancho Cordova (City) has prepared to serve as a comprehensive roadmap to community sustainability and resilience. The purposes of the CAAP are to identify strategies and measures the City can take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to levels that align with the State of California’s goals and set forth strategies to adapt and promote resilience to the impacts of climate change.

The fundamental purposes of the proposed CAAP are to set forth a plan for reducing the City’s communitywide GHG emissions to levels in alignment with statewide targets and increasing the city’s resilience to existing and anticipated climate change hazards. The City has developed the following objectives for the proposed CAAP:
 Prepare a baseline GHG emissions inventory of community-wide sources of emissions in the City, and project the potential growth of these emissions over time;
 Establish a local target for 2030 and local goal for 2045 aligned with the statewide targets of SB 32 and AB 1279;  Develop and quantify actions the City can take to reduce communitywide emissions to levels that meet or exceed its 2030 target and make substantial progress toward its 2045 goal;  Meet the requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(2) regarding “Plans for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions” to provide streamlining of GHG emissions analysis for future projects that are consistent with the proposed CAAP; and
 Identify the city’s vulnerabilities to existing and anticipated climate change hazards, and set forth actions the City can take to protect people and property by adapting to these hazards and improving resilience.

CITY RESPONSE TO LETTER 1
This comment letter provides commentary and assertions on the contents of the proposed CAAP, commentary on the requirements of CEQA, and the environmental analysis of the IS-ND. Responses to comments on the environmental analysis of the IS-ND are provided below. Comments and assertions addressing the contents of the proposed CAAP, the requirements of CEQA, or otherwise unrelated to the environmental analysis of the IS-ND will be provided to the City’s decision makers as they consider adoption of the proposed CAAP.

In Section C (page 4), the comment letter asserts that the “IS-ND ignores significant indirect and cumulative impacts of CAP adoption” and refers to impacts, “associated with the ‘permit streamlining function’ of an adopted CAP.” The comment letter further asserts that “large Rancho Cordova projects…would benefit from the CAP’s streamlining function,” and makes reference to a set of draft growth projections for the Sacramento region in year 2036 published by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) and provides commentary on the amount of “vacant, undeveloped agricultural land” in the city.

The draft IS-ND appropriately evaluates the potential adverse effects that would result from implementation of the proposed CAAP by evaluating the potential physical changes that would result from implementation of the CAAP’s strategies, measures, and supporting actions to reduce GHG emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change; as explained in the draft and Final IS-ND, the implementation of the proposed CAAP would not result in any significant impacts on the environment. The proposed CAAP does not include changes to General Plan land use designations, zoning requirements, or other provisions that would result in the construction and operation of land development projects. The proposed CAAP, by meeting the requirements of a qualified plan for the reduction of GHG emissions under CEQA Guidelines 15183.5(b)(1), would provide future development projects that are consistent with the CAAP an opportunity to streamline analysis of their GHG emissions impacts under CEQA. This comment does not provide any evidence supporting its assertion that adopting a CAAP meeting the requirements of CEQA Guidelines 15183.5(b)(1) would lead to the development of land use projects that result in adverse environmental effects. The construction and operation of land development projects and any associated environmental effects, including but not limited to the Westborough and Arboretum projects referenced in the comment letter, are not reasonably foreseeable changes that would be caused by the adoption of the CAAP.

In Section E (page 5), the comment letter asserts that the proposed CAAP would be inconsistent with a plan, policy, or regulation adopted to reduce GHG emissions because it is inconsistent with Senate Bill (SB) 375. Referred to as the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008), SB 375 established requirements for regional metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to include Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS) within their regional transportation plans that demonstrate how transportation, housing, and land use plans can achieve specified passenger vehicle GHG reduction targets that are set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

In the Sacramento region, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) is the MPO responsible for SB 375 compliance including preparing an SCS within its Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). As explained in Chapter 1, Introduction, of the proposed CAAP, SACOG most recently adopted its MTP/SCS in 2020 (refer to page 1-6 of the proposed CAAP).

Neither SB 375 nor the SCS establish requirements for local governments. In addition, SB 375 stipulates that, “(n)othing in a sustainable communities strategy shall be interpreted as superseding the exercise of the land use authority of cities and counties within the region…or shall require a city’s…land use policies and regulations, including its general plan, to be consistent with the regional transportation plan.” (Government Code Section 65080[b][2][J]) Moreover, the proposed CAAP includes a detailed list of transportation strategies, measures, and supporting actions that would reduce transportation-related GHG emissions by reducing vehicle miles of travel (VMT). These strategies, measures, and supporting actions are listed in Tables 3.2 through 3.5 in Chapter 3, of the proposed CAAP, which also includes quantitative performance metrics identifying the estimated decrease in the amount of driving in 2030 and 2045, along with the annual GHG reduction potential in 2030 and 2045 (refer to pages 3-7 through 3-13 of the proposed CAAP). Based on the foregoing, the proposed CAAP would not result in an adverse effect on the ITEM 10.1. ATTACHMENT 3

Responses to Comments Ascent

environment due to being inconsistent with SACOG’s adopted MTP/SCS, and implementation of the proposed CAAP’s transportation-related strategies, measures, and supporting actions would be compatible with the objectives of SB 375 and SACOG’s MTP/SCS to reduce passenger vehicle GHG emissions.

In Section E (page 6), the comment letter also asserts that the proposed CAAP would be inconsistent with a plan, policy, or regulation adopted to reduce GHG emissions because it is inconsistent with Senate Bill (SB) 743. SB 743, which took effect in 2020, resulted in changes to how transportation impacts of projects are evaluated under CEQA – projects are now evaluated based on the amount of driving or VMT they generate, instead of measuring automobile delay (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3[b]). To implement SB 743, the City of Rancho Cordova adopted Transportation Impact Guidelines to describe the requirements for evaluating VMT impacts of projects in the city under CEQA, including thresholds for what constitutes an acceptable level of VMT and what requires mitigation measures to reduce VMT. Neither SB 743 nor the City’s Transportation Impact Guidelines impose any requirements on the proposed CAAP. In addition, the proposed CAAP, in Transportation-1.1 (page 3-7), illustrates how the City’s enforcement of its Transportation Impact Guidelines is estimated to reduce VMT levels and GHG emissions in 2030 and 2045.

Furthermore, the draft IS-ND provides an analysis demonstrating that the proposed CAAP would not conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(b) – the provisions implementing SB 743. The comment letter does not address or raise any issues with this analysis of the draft IS-ND. Based on the foregoing, the proposed CAAP would not result in an adverse effect on the environment due to a conflict with SB 743. And as described above, the proposed CAAP includes numerous strategies, measures, and actions that would reduce VMT and transportationrelated GHG emissions in 2030 and 2045.

This comment letter also includes commentary unrelated to the contents of the IS-ND but regarding “CEQA requirements” for the proposed CAAP, including an assertion in Section B on page 4 that “CEQA requires that CAP measures comply with requirements applicable to project-specific mitigation – that they be substantiated as feasible, effective, and enforceable.” The actual provisions of a qualified plan for the reduction greenhouse gas emissions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(1), and a summary of the proposed CAAP’s compliance with these provisions, are provided in the Final CAAP (Table 5-2, pages 5-5 and 5-6). As the Final CAAP shows, CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(1) does not set forth requirements for the proposed CAAP that are asserted in this comment letter (nor do any other provisions of the CEQA Statutes or CEQA Guidelines).

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION AND REGULATORY GUIDANCE
This draft Initial Study/Proposed Negative Declaration (draft IS/ND) has been prepared by the City of Rancho Cordova (City) to evaluate potential environmental effects resulting from implementation of the City’s proposed Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). Chapter 2, “Project Description,” presents a detailed description of the proposed CAAP.

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 PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
As described in Chapter 3, “Environmental Checklist,” the proposed CAAP would not result in any significant environmental impacts. Therefore, an IS/ND is the appropriate document for compliance with the requirements of CEQA. This draft IS/ND conforms to these requirements and to the content requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15071.

Under CEQA, the lead agency is the public agency with primary responsibility over approval of the project. The City of Rancho Cordova is the CEQA lead agency because they are responsible for adopting and implementing the proposed CAAP. This draft IS/ND will be circulated for a 30-day public review period, from June 2, 2023, through July 1, 2023. Comments on this draft IS/ND must be received by 5:00 PM on July 1, 2023. Comments can be emailed to Stefan Heisler at [email protected] or sent to the following address:

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
This chapter presents a detailed description of the proposed Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), which the City of Rancho Cordova (City) has prepared to serve as a comprehensive roadmap to community sustainability and resilience. The purposes of the CAAP are to identify strategies and measures the City can take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to levels that align with the State of California’s goals and set forth strategies to adapt and promote resilience to the impacts of climate change. The City is the lead agency for the proposed CAAP under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

2.2 PROJECT LOCATION
As shown in Figure 2-1, the City is located within the eastern portion of Sacramento County, to the east of the City of Sacramento and to the west of the City of Folsom, along Highway 50. Mather Field Air Base is located along the southwest boundary of the City, and the Aerojet Rocket Testing Facility is located to the east. The northern boundary of the City is defined by the American River. The Plan Area for the proposed CAAP encompasses the approximately 35 square miles within the City limits, as shown in Figure 2-2.

2.3 PROJECT BACKGROUND
California law includes targets to reduce statewide GHG emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (Senate Bill [SB] 32) and to net zero levels as soon as possible, but no later than 2045, with statewide anthropogenic GHG emissions reduced to at least 85% below 1990 levels by 2045 (Assembly Bill [AB] 1279). In December 2022, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted an update to its Climate Change Scoping Plan, the 2022 Scoping Plan, which presents modeling showing how California can surpass its 2030 target and reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions by 85 percent below 1990 levels and achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2045. California’s statewide targets and plans the objectives and contents of the CAAP, which are described in the following sections.

2.4 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The fundamental purposes of the proposed CAAP are set forth a plan for reducing the City’s communitywide GHG emissions to levels in alignment with statewide targets and increasing the city’s resilience to existing and anticipated climate change hazards. The City has developed the following objectives for the proposed CAAP:
 Prepare a baseline GHG emissions inventory of community-wide sources of emissions in the City, and project the potential growth of these emissions over time;
 Establish a local target for 2030 and a local goal for 2045 aligned with the statewide targets of SB 32 and AB 1279;  Develop and quantify actions the City can take to reduce communitywide emissions to levels that meet or exceed its 2030 target and make substantial progress toward its 2045 goal;  Meet the requirements of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b)(2) regarding “Plans for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions” to provide streamlining of GHG emissions analysis for future projects that are consistent with the proposed CAAP; and
 Identify the city’s vulnerabilities to existing and anticipated climate change hazards, and set forth actions the City can take to protect people and property by adapting to these hazards and improving resilience.

2.5 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The CAAP is divided into five main chapters. Chapter 1, introduces the City’s CAAP, outlines the goal of the CAAP, and the development process in detail, including community engagement. Chapter 2 describes the community’s baseline GHG emissions inventory, presents 2030 and 2045 emissions forecasts, and identifies community emissions reduction targets. GHG emissions reduction strategies and measures are included in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 presents an overview of the climate adaptation planning process, a summary of the city’s climate change vulnerability assessment, and adaptation strategies, objectives, and actions that can be implemented to strengthen community resilience to climate change. Lastly, Chapter 5 provides a framework for implementing and monitoring the CAAP and includes a timeline for future updates. These chapters are summarized below.

In developing the CAAP, the City evaluated the volume of emissions generated in a baseline year (2019) and identified City-specific targets and goals that determine the amount of community-wide emissions that need to be reduced in Rancho Cordova to align with statewide GHG reduction targets for 2030 and 2045.1 The City then developed GHG reduction measures to achieve the City’s 2030 target and make substantial progress towards the City’s 2045 goal. Additionally, in preparation of the CAAP, the City conducted a climate change vulnerability assessment to better understand its vulnerability to climate hazards. This was then used to inform and develop a set of adaptation strategies, objectives, and actions to improve community resilience in the context of climate change.

The successful implementation and administration of the CAAP would reduce emissions and reduce climate related risks in the city, as well as provide other co-benefits like strengthening the city’s economy, improving risk management, cleaning the environment, and improving the health and wellness of residents.

2.5.1 CAAP Development
Following initiation of the CAAP in 2021, the City prepared GHG emissions inventories and forecasts, set GHG reduction targets, and conducted a climate change vulnerability assessment. The City then developed GHG emissions reduction and adaptation strategies, measures, and actions to be included in the CAAP. Engagement with members of the public, government officials, and other stakeholders was conducted throughout the entirety of the project.

2.5.2 Community Engagement
The City hosted four public workshops and performed outreach efforts to engage residents, stakeholders, and other interested organizations and individuals. The purpose was to provide an opportunity for the community to participate in the plan development process and ensure that the CAAP equitably captured the ideas and concerns of residents and businesses.

The first workshop held on October 21, 2021, provided an overview of the purpose and objectives of the CAAP and discussed the CAAP process and project timeline. The second workshop held on January 13, 2022, summarized the city’s primary vulnerabilities to climate change and when these climate change impacts are likely to occur. On April 14, 2022, the City held the third workshop and discussed updates in the plan development process. The topics included the primary emissions sources and activities in Rancho Cordova, the role that legislative reductions play in reducing emissions in the city, and how much lower the future emissions need to be to align with California's climate goals. On November 16, 2022, the City hosted the fourth and final workshop which was the first in-person event. The purpose of the workshop was to gain feedback on actions the City can take to reduce GHG emissions. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first three public workshops were held virtually, while the fourth workshop was an in-person event. An online survey was conducted after the fourth workshop to include feedback from residents who could not attend the final workshop.

The multiple sets of public events and additional methods for providing input on the CAAP provided residents and stakeholder groups the opportunity to contribute to CAAP development. Additionally, the City conducted a public opinion poll, the results of which are discussed in the sections below. 1 The baseline year for the CAAP’s GHG emissions is inventory is 2019 because 2019 was the most recent year for which reliable data were available at the time preparation of the GHG emissions inventory commenced in 2021.

2.5.3 Emissions Inventory and Reduction Targets
The 2019 communitywide emissions level is 679,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (“MTCO2e”) and includes the following emissions sectors:
 On-Road Transportation
 Building Energy
 Solid Waste
 Off-Road Vehicles and Equipment
 Water Supply
 Wastewater Treatment
If communitywide emissions in the city were to continue to grow unimpeded, the city is anticipated to generate 816,800 MTCO2e in 2030 and 987,800 MTCO2e in 2045. While legislative reductions from State, federal, and regional actions would further reduce 301,400 MTCO2e per year, the City would still need to reduce annual emissions by 77,100 MTCO2e by 2030 and 400,500 MTCO2e by 2045 to achieve the proposed emissions reduction targets.

To reduce communitywide emissions in alignment with statewide targets, the CAAP has established the following:
 2030 target: 36 percent below 2019 levels (438,300 MTCO2e annually); and  2045 goal: 81 percent below 2019 levels (129,300 MTCO2e annually) CAAP Appendix A presents the inventory technical memorandum, CAAP Appendix B details the methodology for preparing the communitywide emissions inventory and projections, CAAP Appendix C presents the forecast and target technical memorandum, and CAAP Appendix D details the methodology for preparing the emissions reduction targets and goals.

2.5.4 CAAP Measures to Reduce GHG Emissions
To achieve the 2030 target and to make substantial progress toward the 2045 goal, the CAAP proposes a Strategy Framework consisting of 14 GHG reduction strategies, 34 GHG emission reduction measures, and supporting actions.

Table 2-1 presents the summary of communitywide emissions growth with and without emissions reduction strategies and measures identified in the CAAP.

2.5.5 Climate Adaptation and Vulnerability
The effects of climate change are already occurring at global, regional, and local scales and will continue to worsen existing hazards in and around the city, including extreme heat, extreme precipitation and flooding, drought, and wildfires. While these hazards have existed historically in the city and surrounding regions, the frequency, intensity, and duration of these hazards are projected to increase or change because of climate change. The level of impact from these climate hazards will vary across the city and the region due to variations in physical, social, and economic characteristics. Of the four climate hazards assessed, the city, inclusive of its populations and assets, is most vulnerable to the potential impacts of increased temperatures and extreme heat. However, the city is still vulnerable to the other three climate hazards that were assessed – extreme precipitation and flooding, drought, and wildfires – though to a lesser degree than increased temperatures and extreme heat.

2.5.6 CAAP Actions to Adapt to Climate Change
The CAAP also includes a set of five adaptation strategies to help the City prepare for and become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Each adaptation strategy includes two to three tailored objectives, which are accompanied by an array of actions that can be implemented to help achieve those objectives. The adaptation strategies and objectives are summarized in Table 2-3 below. Further details, such as the associated actions for each strategy and set of objectives, are presented in Chapter 4. The city’s Vulnerability Assessment Technical Memo, which was used to inform the adaptation strategies, is included in CAAP Appendix F.

5m. Promote building retrofits to include climate resilience features (e.g., home hardening improvements, weatherization improvements, adequate climate control equipment with air filtration systems).

2.5.7 CAAP Implementation Strategy
After the adoption of the CAAP, the City will develop an implementation strategy for the CAAP measures. It will be based on several factors such as budget capacity and availability of funding opportunities and will involve collaboration with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (“SMUD”), other public and private agencies, and neighboring cities. The success of CAAP implementation will also depend on the participation of residents, businesses, and other stakeholders in the city and region.

The City will implement the measures of the CAAP through several types of programs and activities that may include changes in municipal operations; new ordinances or code updates; development conditions of approval; advanced planning efforts; provision of incentives or financing; public agency or private partnerships; and education and outreach.

The CAAP’s effective implementation will require a process to prioritize its strategies and measures periodically.

2.5.8 CAAP Monitoring Strategy
The CAAP would be monitored over time to assess the progress by tracking key indicators for each measure. Changing circumstances, such as State and federal laws and programs, updates to climate science, changes in technology, or evolving local, State, federal, or even global economic and social conditions, may necessitate changes to the CAAP. If the CAAP is not achieving the desired outcomes, the measures or actions will need to be altered or amended.

City staff will evaluate the performance of each GHG reduction action that has been implemented. Evaluating the performance requires monitoring the level of community participation, costs, and potential barriers to implementation, as well as activities that result in GHG emissions reductions like actual reductions in fuel consumption, vehicle miles traveled, energy usage, water usage, landfilled waste, etc. In addition to considering these factors, assessing the performance of CAAP adaptation actions will be informed by resilience-related improvements in the community. The City staff will regularly monitor and report on adaptation and climate hazards and will update the strategies and actions when needed. By evaluating whether the implementation of an action is on track to achieve its objective, the City can identify successful actions and reevaluate or replace underperforming measures.

To provide updates on CAAP implementation progress, City staff will prepare a monitoring report every two years.

Finally, the City will prepare a GHG emissions inventory and an update to the plan every five years, with the first update due in 2028. Updates would reflect the findings of the monitoring reports and inventory updates. Table 2-4 shows the City’s implementation and monitoring timeframe.

City staff will prepare a monitoring report every two years and present the report to City Council and Planning Commission. The first monitoring report will be completed two years from adoption of the CAAP. Each monitoring report will evaluate implementation status of the CAAP’s GHG reduction measures. The monitoring report will identify whether any of the measures require amendment to maintain progress toward achieving the emissions reductions identified in the CAAP.
2028 GHG Emissions Inventory Update
An updated GHG inventory will be prepared to track the CAAP implementation progress by assessing the City’s progress towards achieving the emissions reductions identified in the CAAP.
2028 CAAP Update
Based on the results of the monitoring report and updated GHG emissions inventory, the City will update the CAAP to include new or amended measures, remove, or update any ineffective measures, and incorporate new technologies and methodologies as necessary to ensure the CAAP is on track to achieve the City’s target and goal.

2.5.9 California Environmental Quality Act and the CAAP The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is a statute that requires local agencies to identify significant environmental impacts of their actions and avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. The 2022 Scoping Plan emphasizes the use of CEQA as a tool by local jurisdictions for supporting the State’s climate priorities. When a local plan complies with CEQA requirements, individual projects that comply with the plan are allowed to streamline the project-specific GHG analysis. The City plans to utilize this tool for ensuring that new development is constructed with more sustainable and lowcarbon features than existing development. By following this approach, the CAAP has been prepared consistent with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5 (“Qualified Plan”). As a result, it provides new development project applicants in the city the opportunity to use CEQA streamlining tools for projects that are consistent with the CAAP.

Demonstrating consistency with the CAAP establishes that a project will not result in an “additional environmental effect” related to GHG emissions. A project’s consistency with the CAAP will be determined through the Consistency Checklist (“Checklist”) presented in Appendix G. The Checklist contains GHG reduction measures applicable to development projects that are required to be implemented on a project-by-project basis to achieve the City’s 2030 reduction target and make substantial progress toward the 2045 goal. Projects that do not demonstrate consistency may, at the City’s discretion, prepare a more comprehensive project-specific analysis of GHG emissions consistent with CEQA requirements.

2.6 POTENTIAL PERMITS AND APPROVALS REQUIRED
The City is the CEQA lead agency responsible for considering adoption and implementation of the proposed CAAP.

As the lead agency, the City is responsible for considering adoption of the Initial Study/ Negative Declaration before determining if the proposed CAAP should be adopted.

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.

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 City is relatively flat and does not include any significant geologic features such as hills or ridges. However, the city is geographically situated between the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and the California Coastal Mountain Range along the American River, and includes views of major peaks and natural landmarks within the region, including Mount Diablo. Additional qualified scenic vistas, as concluded in the City’s General Plan, include Pine Hill, Flagstaff Hill, Pyramid Peak, Carson Spur, Jackson Butte, Mount Vaca, and Goat Mountain/Snow Mountain (City of Rancho Cordova 2006a). Other scenic resources within the Plan Area include, but are not limited to, oak trees, streams, creeks, and the American and Cosumnes Rivers (City of Rancho Cordova 2006b).

There are no State designated or eligible scenic highways or corridors within the Plan Area (Caltrans 2023). However, Highway 50 is a corridor that provides distant views of natural landmarks to passing motorists.

Light and glare conditions within developed portions of the Plan Area are typical of those associated with urban and suburban uses. The main sources of daytime glare in the Plan Area are from sunlight reflecting from structures with reflective surfaces such as windows, and from vehicles on major roadways. Nighttime lighting is prevalent throughout the Plan Area along roadways, parking lots, building perimeters and within residential areas. Areas with substantially less night-lighting include the sparsely developed and largely cultivated southeastern portion of the Plan Area.

Sources of daytime glare include direct beam sunlight and reflections from windows, architectural coatings, as well as glass and other shiny reflective surfaces. Nighttime light illumination primarily consists of structured illumination, streetlights, and headlights of motor vehicles (City of Rancho Cordova 2006b).

3.1.2 Discussion
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less than significant. Important scenic vistas include the American River as well as distant views of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Numerous scenic vistas of the American River are provided within the City at various public accesses within the American River Parkway and at river crossings at Watt Avenue, Sunrise Boulevard, and Folsom Boulevard (City of Rancho Cordova 2006b). Development within the American River Parkway is regulated via the provisions of the American River Parkway Plan (Sacramento County 2008).

The implementation of the CAAP would result in short-term and long-term changes to the physical environment.

Long-term changes could include improvements at or near grade level of existing roadways, as well as minor changes to traffic intersections and walkways (through implementation of Transportation-1.3, -2.1, -2.2), planting of trees and shade-inducing vegetation (through implementation of Carbon Storage-1.1; Adaptation-2d, -1e), and would not otherwise involve new features of substantial height, bulk, or massing that could substantially damage scenic vistas. For example, implementation of Transportation-1.3, -2.1, and -2.2 could result in the installation of new walkways at the ends of existing cul-de-sacs, new and upgraded bikeways and walkways along existing developed roadways and rights-of-way in the city, and the installation of roundabouts to control traffic within the intersections of existing developed roadways.

During the short-term, temporary construction activities associated with the implementation of the CAAP, such as equipment use and staging of materials, would not result in permanent impacts to scenic vistas. Construction activities would vary depending on the type of CAAP measure. For example, Transportation-1.3, -2.1, -2.2, and Adaptation-5g may involve removing existing pavement; repaving roadway surfaces; painting or restriping pavement; modifying curbs; laying concrete, and installing traffic signals, lighting, landscaping, street furniture, and other amenities. Some of these improvements may require limited ground disturbance. Construction activities would be short-term and temporary, and would typically not involve equipment of substantial height, bulk, or massing that would alter existing scenic vistas.

Because duration of these activities would be limited to relatively short periods of the overall construction phase, their temporary effect on scenic vistas would not be substantial. Additionally, the increase in planted trees and the development of new landscaping (Carbon Storage-1.1; Adaptation-2d, -1e) would offer a permanent visual improvement to the local surrounding area and would not result in a substantial effect on a scenic vista.

In addition, enforcement of the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code (RCMC) and the provisions of the American River Parkway Plan would avoid substantial damage to scenic vistas and degradation of public views. For example, RCMC Chapter 23.513 aims to strengthen the City’s adopted street standards by making them architecturally compatible with development occurring within the city’s centers and include new typologies that further facilitate the creation of a pedestrian-oriented street networks. Pursuant to RCMC Chapter 23.716, any new or existing projects that provide landscaping on public property are required to file an application for a permit with the City’s Planning Director. Prior to the issuance of the permit, a final landscape plan shall be prepared by a registered licensed landscape architect and reviewed by the City to ensure consistency with City design standards and aesthetic conditions. Additionally, pursuant to the City’s provisions to administer land use policy and development review within its jurisdiction of the American River Parkway Plan (e.g., Parkway Corridor Combining Zones, General Plan, and Parkway Plan policies), the implementation of softscaping such as trees along streets and sidewalks would assist in softening the built environment and reduce visual impacts to pedestrians. For all of the foregoing reasons, implementation of the CAAP would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista and the impact would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. The Plan Area does not include and is not located proximate to a State or locally designated or eligible scenic highway and thus will not damage scenic resources such as trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings within the viewshed of such a highway. No impact would occur, and no mitigation is required.

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?
Less than significant. The implementation of the CAAP would result in short-term and long-term changes to the visual environment of the Plan Area. For example, installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure (Transportation-5.1 through 5.4), development of roundabouts and bicycle infrastructure (Transportation-2.1, -2.2, and Adaptation-5g), as well as new tree planting and increased landscaping (Carbon Storage-1.1; Adaptation-1e) could result in short-term and long-term changes to the visual character within the Plan Area. Long-term changes would include improvements at or near grade level of existing roadways and would involve minor changes to traffic intersections and parking lots, increase in trees and shade-inducing vegetation, and would not otherwise involve features with substantial height, bulk, or massing that could substantially damage the existing character or quality of public views. During the short-term, temporary construction activities associated with the implementation of the CAAP such as equipment use and staging of materials would not result in permanent impacts to scenic resources.

Because duration of these activities would be limited to relatively short periods of the overall construction phase, their temporary effect on the visual character and quality of the city would not be substantial.

Additionally, implementation of Measure Adaptation-5i would develop a clean energy microgrid to serve essential City facilities to support resilient emergency operations. Project-specific details for a clean energy microgrid are not included in the CAAP, but a microgrid would typically include distributed energy sources such solar arrays and diesel generators to produce electricity, batteries to storage electricity, hardware and software to monitor and distribute electricity to the facilities in the event of a power outage on the electrical grid. Microgrid infrastructure is typically installed at or near the end users, which under implementation of the CAAP would result in the installation of improvements like solar arrays, generators, and battery systems on City properties that are home to essential facilities. Implementation of these improvements to provide essential City facilities with electricity during a power outage would be required to comply with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality.

In addition, enforcement of the RCMC and the City’s implementing provisions of the American River Parkway Plan would avoid substantial damage to the visual character and quality of public views. For example, RCMC Chapter

23.513 aims to strengthen the City’s adopted street standards by making them architecturally compatible with development occurring within the city’s centers and include new typologies that further facilitate the creation of a pedestrian-oriented street networks. Pursuant to RCMC Chapter 23.716, any new or existing projects that provide landscaping on public property is required to file an application for a permit with the City’s Planning Director. Prior to the issuance of the permit, a final landscape plan shall be prepared by a registered licensed landscape architect and reviewed by the City to ensure consistency with City design standards and aesthetic conditions. Additionally, pursuant to the provisions of the American River Parkway Plan and General Plan Policy NR.4.3, the implementation of softscaping along streets and sidewalks and the promotion of tree planting would soften the built environment and reduce visual impacts to motorists and pedestrians. For all the foregoing reasons, implementation of the CAAP would not substantially degrade the visual character or quality of public views of the city and its surroundings. This impact would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than significant. The implementation of the CAAP may result in the use of temporary lighting sources during construction of roadway improvement projects (Transportation-1.3; Transportation-2.1 through Transportation-2.3; Adaptation-5g) and installation of EV charging infrastructure (Transportation-5.1 through 5.4) in the event that nighttime construction is necessary. EV charging facilities facilitated by CAAP implementation could add minimal nighttime lighting, however it would not create new sources of substantial light or glare.

Implementation of the CAAP would not involve short- or long-term physical changes that could result in new substantial sources of light and glare. Furthermore, lighting associated with CAAP implementation would be generally low profile and angled down and away from nearby receptors.

Enforcement of the RCMC and the City’s adopted Design Guidelines would regulate new sources of light and glare to avoid affecting day or nighttime views in the Plan Area during construction. For example, temporary lighting fixtures installed during roadwork and associated construction activities are regulated under the City’s outdoor lighting provisions established by RCMC Chapter 23.725, and require the utilization of downcast and shielded lighting fixtures to minimize light pollution. Additionally, the City’s Design Guidelines emphasizes the importance of planting trees and providing tactful landscaping to filter sunlight and reduce glare (City of Rancho Cordova 2005). The impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.

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
The majority of the Plan Area is urbanized, specifically areas adjacent to and nearby Highway 50. The southeastern portion of the Plan Area supports predominantly unused grazing land, with approximately 46 percent designated for grazing and livestock uses. The Plan Area contains Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmlands (City of Rancho Cordova 2006b).

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? 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?
Less than significant. The implementation of the CAAP would involve ground disturbing activities, including grading and excavation. For example, minor grading, excavation, and other ground disturbance would occur during the construction of new roundabouts and bicycle infrastructure (Transportation-2.1, -2.2, and Adaptation-5g), installation of EV charging infrastructure (Transportation-5.1 through 5.4), and tree planting (Carbon Storage-1.1). However, implementation of the CAAP would not involve changes to policies or regulations related to land use or zoning for agricultural uses. Given the nature of the CAAP, construction activities associated with the implementation would occur in already disturbed, developed areas such as roadways and parking lots that are not designated for Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Further, future projects would be required to comply with General Plan Policy LU.1.10 which directs the City to protect existing agricultural areas.

Implementation of the CAAP would not involve short- or long-term physical changes that could convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use.

For all the foregoing reasons, implementation of the CAAP would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use and the impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. Potential impacts related to conversion of forest lands are discussed in Section 3.2.2 e) below. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? Less than significant. The implementation of the CAAP would not involve changes to policies or regulations related to land use or zoning for land under Williamson Act contract. Given the nature of the CAAP, construction activities associated with their implementation would occur in already disturbed, developed areas that are not in agricultural use nor under Williamson Act contract. Further, future projects would be required to comply with General Plan Policy LU.1.10 which directs the City to protect existing agricultural areas and conservation easement. Therefore, implementation of the CAAP would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract and the impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. 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? No impact. There are no lands currently used for timber production or management in the Plan Area, and no lands that have a zoning designation for timberland or forest land. Therefore, implementation of the CAAP would not conflict with existing zoning or cause rezoning any forest land, timberland, or timber land zoned for timberland production. Additionally, CAAP implementation would not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. No impact would occur. No mitigation is required.
