Planning and Research (OPR) as required by CEQA. This letter serves as an important reminder that CEQA’s circulation, notice, and consultation requirements play a critical role in the Department’ s trustee mandate to conserve the State’s fish and wildlife resources for all the people of California.

In general, CEQA requires lead agencies to submit draft environmental impact reports (EIR), proposed negative declarations, and proposed MNDs to the State Clearinghouse at OPR when:

A state agency is the lead agency, a responsible agency, or a trustee agency; A state agency otherwise has jurisdiction by law with respect to the project; or The proposed project is of statewide, regional, or areawide significance.

Pub. Resources Code, § 21082.1, subd. (c)(4); CEQA Guidelines, §§ 15205, subd. (b), 15206, subd. (b)(1)-(7).)
In the case of this Project, the Department is acting as a trustee agency for the State’s fish and wildlife resources because the Project will impact those natural resources. There may also be State permits necessary for wetland impacts, in which case there would be State responsible agencies.

Submitting CEQA documents to OPR as required helps to ensure responsible and trustee agency input from the Department during lead agency environmental review.1 CEQA also requires lead agencies to submit the following notices to OPR:

Notice of Preparation ( NOP) of an EIR;
Notice of Completion (NOC) of an EIR;
Notice of Determination (NOD) when the lead agency is a state agency; and Notice of Determination ( NOD) for local agency conclusions that certain housing projects specified by statute are not subject to CEQA.

Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21080.4, 21108, 21152.1, 21161.) Again, these notices serve to ensure state agency participation in lead agency review under CEQA, including Department participation as a responsible and trustee agency.

The Department urges State and local lead agencies to ensure environmental analyses are submitted to the State Clearinghouse as required by CEQA. Complying with these requirements, along with CEQA’s responsible and trustee agency notice and consultation requirements, plays a critical role in the Department’ s trustee mandate to conserve California’s important fish and wildlife resources.

Comments and Recommendations
The Department has the following recommendations and comments as they pertain to biological resources:
1 See, e.g., Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21082.1, subd. (c)(4), 21083, subd. (d); see also §§ 21069, 21070 (responsible and trustee agencies defined).

Mitigation for the Loss of Wetlands, Streams, and other Waters Wetlands are considered extremely valuable natural resources. To this end, the state policy requires no net loss of these habitats. The Department considers all wetlands sensitive, and the State has a “No Net Loss” wetland Policy. 2 The Mitigation for impacts to fresh emergent wetland should be included in the MND at a ratio greater than 2:1. Currently, Mitigation Measure MM-1(c) states, “The project applicant shall achieve the mitigation for the permanent loss of streams, wetlands, and other waters through the purchase of mitigation credits at an agency-approved mitigation bank at a minimum 1:1 ratio or through onsite/offsite habitat restoration at a minimum 3:1 ratio.” The Department recommends the ratio for impacts to streams, wetlands or other waters start at 2:1. In addition, onsite/offsite habitat restoration should have a monitoring and maintenance period and associated success criteria established within the MND.

According to the Biological Review dated May 2020, and prepared by Wildland Resource Managers, no surveys for vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi) (federally threatened), vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi) (federally endangered) or western spadefoot toad (Spea hammondii) (Priority 1 Species of Special Concern) were conducted in the pond present onsite. The Department presumes the Project applicant is assuming presence. Mitigation measures will need to be higher than 2:1 for impacts to these species and consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should be underway or completed for the federally listed species prior to approval of this Project since it is a mitigative negative declaration and all mitigation is agreed to up front.

Mitigation under CEQA may be different than for permitting.

Botanical Surveys
The Biological Review stated there was suitable habitat for Boggs Lake hedge-hyssop Gratiola heterosepala) (state endangered), which occurs in clay soils in or near shallow water and blooms April through September. Surveys for the project were conducted beginning September 30, 2019 and concluding April 8, 2020. Since suitable habitat was observed, surveys should have been conducted when the plant was most likely to be observed blooming which would not have been at the very beginning or the very end of the species blooming period. If such dates are to be used, a reference site should have been visited to determine the species was still identifiable. The Department recommends surveys be conducted during the appropriate blooming period to ensure Boggs Lake hedge-hyssop is not present.

Botanical surveys should follow the Department’ s March 20, 2018, Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Sensitive Natural Communities, available here:
https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler. ashx?DocumentID= 18959. If no special status plant species are found during the botanical survey , no other measures will be required.

However, if drought conditions exist, additional pre-construction surveys for special status plant species may be warranted. If special status plant species are found during the botanical surveys, the plants should be marked by a qualified biologist familiar with the species. If the area can be avoided, exclusionary fencing will be placed around the plants and no pedestrian or vehicular entry shall be allowed. Botanical survey results shall be 2 Fish and Game Commission Wetlands Resources Policy (Amended 8/18/05) DocuSign Envelope ID: 99E4C69E- 456D-4972-82F0-456784D93BEE Packet Pg. 238 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for Sean Price, Assistant Planner

Mitigation
Although an adequate bat survey was not conducted, bats were observed onsite according to the Biological Review. Impacts to roosts are usually accompanied by high mortality of bats may be a significant impact, because a single colony could consist of the entire local population of a species. The availability of suitable roosting habitat is considered a limiting factor in almost all bat species. Roost site suitability is often based on a narrow range of suitable temperatures, relative humidity, physical dimensions, etc., and many species exhibit high roost site fidelity. Depending on the impact, if any, to the roosting habitat, additional mitigation may be necessary and could include providing replacement or alternate roost habitat. If necessary, humane evictions should be conducted during seasonal periods of bat activity, which may vary by year, location, or species and must be conducted by or under the supervision of a biologist with specific experience conducting exclusions. Humane exclusions could consist of a two-day tree removal process whereby the non-habitat trees and brush are removed along with certain tree limbs on the first day and the remainder of the tree on the second day. This two -step process changes the microhabitat of the area causing the bats to vacate the area under their own volition, therefore minimizing mortality and other impacts to bat species.

Mitigation for impacts to bats was included in the MND; however, the Department recommends adding these two additional sentences to Mitigation Measure MM-3: Humane evictions should be conducted during seasonal periods of bat activity, which may vary by year, location, or species and must be conducted by or under the supervision of a biologist with specific experience conducting exclusions. Humane exclusions could consist of a two-day tree removal process whereby the non-habitat trees and brush are removed along with certain tree limbs on the first day and the remainder of the tree on the second day.

Mitigation Measure MM-4 is not mitigation for the oak woodland or individual oak trees being removed. The oak trees should be replaced with native oak trees, as opposed to shade trees”, which is not specific and would not replace lost habitat value. In Shasta County, oak woodlands continue to be removed without any effective mitigation measures, resulting in a continuous regional loss of oak woodlands. Oak woodlands are important to a wide range of wildlife species and have higher levels of biodiversity than virtually any other terrestrial ecosystem in California. Oak woodlands provide habitat for nearly half of the 632 terrestrial vertebrates species found in the state. Oak woodland should be replaced at a minimum 3:1 ratio at Stillwater Plains Mitigation Bank or another conserved offsite location. The Department recommends and encourages retaining and working around the existing mature, healthy oaks to the extent possible, and mitigating appropriately for losses that cannot be avoided.

Subject: Letter of Opposition Pertaining to the Proposed Holiday Market Place Shopping Center, 2469 Hartnell Avenue, Redding, California
Date: Monday, June 7, 2021 2:40:17 PM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Redding; please be careful with links or attachments.

Dear Ms. Niemer,
As the owner of the Hen House property at 2621 Hartnell Avenue, I am opposed to the proposed Holiday Market Place shopping center project at 2469 Hartnell Avenue. I have been working with the Shopping Center developer in recent weeks to resolve issues pertaining to several adverse impacts of the Project on my parking lot. However, several serious planning issues remain, and progress has stalled.

Until the above issues are resolved, I am concerned that the Center’ s impacts, particularly the substantial loss of parking on my property, would put the Hen House out of business. It would also have a similar effect on any other use of the site, thus rendering it unusable.

As a result, I am requesting that the Planning Commission hearing on the Project either be continued to allow time for me to resolve my issues with the Developer, or that the Project be denied. City participation with us in our discussions would be very much appreciated. Should the Commission choose to proceed with acting on the Project, I request that the CEQA document first be expanded to adequately address all of the potentially significant adverse impacts on my property. This should include land use, parking loss, and vehicular ingress and egress impacts.

Finally, I request that the City Attorney prepare an opinion regarding the City’s potential legal exposure created by the widening of Hartnell Avenue and the resulting loss of use of my property.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Re: Summit Development/Holiday Market
Dear Planning Commissioners;
Our organization filed a public records request as follows on the project:

1. A map showing the oak trees that will be preserved on site.

2. The mitigation ratio the developer must mitigate for oak trees removed that must be planted on site and for the ratio for mitigation offsite.

3. If it is a mitigation bank, the location and name of the mitigation bank.

4. Is mitigation required for interior live oaks?
We only received general answers to our questions as noted in an email from Planner Sean Price:

Thank you for submitting your information request. The proposed draft conditions require the replacement of Oak Trees removed for the development at a minimum ratio of 1:1. As you know from your attendance at the Clover Creek community outreach, the developer as expressed his interest in replacement at a ratio of 3:1. The development team also expressed their desire to keep as many mature oaks as possible. Due to possible issues during improvement plan stage ( i.e. utility trench location, existing vs finish grade, hydrology, etc.) at this time the specific trees that will be saved is unknown. The development team has submitted the attached tree survey document showing the general location of mature oaks with general location of buildings/ landscape areas overlaid. Feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns.

Unfortunately, this answer is somewhat vague as to what the final required mitigation will be. The Planning Commission or Planning Department should specify at the hearing what the exact mitigation will be as well as answers to our questions 3 and 4
We would like to commend the Planning Department for requiring mitigation for the removal of the any blue oak trees on the project site; however, we feel that this mitigation should also include interior live oaks. The best result would be for the developer to work the oak trees into the landscaping as much as possible and that the Planning Department will require that a grove of the larger blue oaks be preserved.

Oak trees are a keystone species in many habitats. Oak trees can support over 500 different types of caterpillars in the United States, whereas crepe myrtles can support only one species of caterpillar (The Nature of Oaks, Doug Tallamy 2021); thus, crepe myrtle is a food desert for insects. Caterpillars are one Packet Pg. 243 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for 2 of the most important sources of food for baby birds. Scientists tell us that the world’s insect population is in an alarming decline, up to 50%. Oak trees support many species of insects, which is why so many birds visit them. Acorns are a food source for birds, squirrels, deer, insects and even bears.

The old Cobblestone Shopping Center, formerly Raley’ s, was built preserving a number of blue oaks in the parking lot and the north end of the Center. They have survived for 35 years, while almost all of the horticultural trees that were planted (except along the street and in a median) died and the new owners had to plant new trees. Interior live oaks were also preserved and are still standing today. This type of oak preservation can be done in the new development, as well.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
The plant survey (Page 12 of the Biological Review) of the site was completed on April 8, 2020 too early for many wetland plants to have flowered and be identified. From a casual observation from the roadway and adjacent parcel in late May, a SEA member easily identified the following plants not in the biological survey: coyote thistle (Eryngium articulatum), seepspring monkeyflower (Erythranthe guttata), mallow (Sidalcea hirsuta), wavy-leaf soaplant (Chlorogalum pomeridianum), Fitch’ s spikeweed Centromadia fitchii), and woolly sunflower (Eriophyllum lanatum) all plants not on the biological survey. There are undoubtedly other plants that were missed. The survey is inadequate.

Permit No. UP-2020- 01669, PM-2021- 00290, GPA- 2020- 01667, and RZ-2020- 01668 SUBJECT Hartnell Commercial Complex by Summit Development PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of a use permit, parcel map, General Plan amendment, and rezoning for the development of a shopping center and self-storage facility on

12.13 acres of land located at the southeast corner of Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The shopping center consists of a 30,000-square- foot Holiday Market Grocery Store, and five outer pads for retail, a drive-through restaurant, a coffee drive-through, and an automobile fueling station with a convenience store. The project also includes the request to allow a self- storage facility on

2.8 acres of land. A parcel map related to the project will delineate each of the retail spaces and the proposed mini-storage warehouse facility on their respective parcel, taking the total parcels from five to seven. The rezone is a request to change the current zoned “ SC” Shopping Center on the proposed 2.8-acre self- storage facility parcel to “ HC” Heavy Commercial. The general plan amendment request reflects the rezone request to amend the existing general plan designation of Shopping Center” to “ Heavy Commercial.”
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project site encompasses five parcels of approximately

12.13 acres. The property is currently vacant and is populated with blue and Interior live oak trees, annual grasses with scattered shrubs. Commercial uses are located to the north and west. To the south the project is bordered by single and multiple family uses. West of the project is a mix of commercial and multiple family. The project site slopes gently from north to south. An intermittent stream flows in a southwest direction beginning approximately at the midpoint of the property on Hartnell Avenue exiting the property at the southwest corner of the property. An emergent wetland exists along the intermittent stream just west of the center of the project site. An ephemeral swale parallels Shasta View Drive along Appian Way which joins with the intermittent stream at the southwest quadrant of the project site. A small isolated pond also exists within the southwest quadrant of the project site.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study attached), which determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects. Subsequent revisions in the project proposal create the specific mitigation measures identified below. The project, as revised and as agreed to by the applicant, avoids or mitigates the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the City, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. If there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary.

Packet Pg. 245 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for UP-2020- 01669, GPA-2020-01667, RZ-2020-01669, PM-2021-00290 Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 2
The project includes measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to transportation in the area.

Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable.

In accordance with CEQA Section 15074. 1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures which it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure is equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it, in itself, would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.

1. Based on the whole record ( including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate. All potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less than significant.

2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, fully incorporated herein, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATION MEASURES
Transportation
Mitigation Measure 1 – Off-site improvement along Shasta View Drive shall include the following:
a. Restriping of the portion of Shasta View Drive between Hartnell Avenue and Goodwater Avenue to a three- lane arterial with one travel lane in each direction with a two-way left turn lane.
b. Construct a 5-foot sidewalk along the east side of Shasta View Drive from Hartnell Avenue to Christian Avenue.

11. Have California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project area requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080. 3.1? If so, is there a plan for consultation that includes, for example, the determination of significance of impacts to tribal cultural resources, procedures regarding confidentiality, etc.? Consultation letters were sent to the Redding Rancheria and the Wintu Tribe of Northern California on March 25, 2021, to invite their participation in the project development process. On April 22, 2020, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-54-20 that suspends the mandated timeline for tribal consultation for a period of 60 days. As of April 22, 2021, no request for consultation was received.

Note: Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. ( See Public Resources Code section 21080. 3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission’ s Sacred Lands File per Public Resources Code section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Please also note that Public Resources Code section 21082. 3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

Mandatory Findings of Significance
The environmental analysis in this section is patterned after the Initial Study Checklist recommended by the State CEQA Guidelines and used by the City of Redding in its environmental review process. For the preliminary environmental assessment undertaken as part of this Initial Study's preparation, a determination that there is a potential for significant effects indicates the need to more fully analyze the development’ s impacts and to identify mitigation.

For the evaluation of potential impacts, the questions in the Initial Study Checklist are stated and an answer is provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial Study. The analysis considers the long-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the development. To each question, there are four possible responses:

No Impact. The development will not have any measurable environmental impact on the environment.

Less Than Significant Impact. The development will have the potential for impacting the environment, although this impact will be below established thresholds that are considered to be significant.

Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The development will have the potential to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the environment, although mitigation measures or changes to the development’ s physical or operational characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than significant.

Potentially Significant Impact. The development will have impacts which are considered significant, and additional analysis is required to identify mitigation measures that could reduce these impacts to less than significant levels.

Where potential impacts are anticipated to be significant, mitigation measures will be required, so that impacts may be avoided or reduced to insignificant levels.

SUMMARY OF MITIGATION MEASURES:

MM-1. Prior toissuance of a grading permit affecting any jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, as identified inthe project wetland delineation, the project applicant shall provide written verification to the City of Redding Development Services Department that the following resource agency permits and mitigation requirements have been successfully secured from the Corps, CDFW, RWQCB, or any other applicable agency ( i.e., USFWS) identified through the permitting process:* a. Prior to any discharge of dredged or fill material into “waters of the U.S.”, including wetlands, authorization under a Nationwide Permit or Individual Permit shall be obtained from the Corps. For any features determined to not be subject to the Corps jurisdiction during the verification process, authorization to discharge ( or a waiver from regulation) shall be obtained from the RWQCB. For fill requiring a Corps permit, water quality certification shall be obtained from the RWQCB prior to discharge of dredged or fill material. Verification shall be provided to the City of Redding Development Services Department prior to issuance the issuance of a grading permit. b. Prior to any activities that would obstruct the flow of, or alter the bed, channel, or bank of any intermittent or ephemeral creeks, notification of streambed alteration shall be submitted to the CDFW; and, if required, a 1602 streambed alteration agreement shall be obtained by the project applicant. Verification shall be provided to the City of Redding Development Services Department prior to the issuance of a grading permit. c. The project applicant shall achieve the mitigation for the permanent loss of streams, wetlands, and other waters through the purchase of mitigation credits at an agency- approved mitigation bank at a minimum 1:1ratio, or through onsite/ offsite habitat restoration at a minimum 3:1 ratio. If onsite/ offsite habitat restoration is proposed a detailed mitigation plan, including success criteria, monitoring, maintenance, and reporting as required by the regulatory agencies ( i.e., Corps, CDFW, RWQCB) shall be submitted for review and approval. The affected regulatory agency shall identify when measures shall be implemented and completed for those activities impacting streams, wetlands, or other waters. All measures contained in the permits or associated with any agency approvals shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the lead regulatory agency.

MM-2. If vegetation removal or construction activities will occur during the nesting season for birds or raptors (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey 7 days before construction activities begin.

If nesting birds or raptors are found, CDFW will be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer, as determined by CDFW and the qualified biologist, will be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MM-3. To the extent practicable, removal of large trees with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant (i.e., after August 31). If construction (including the removal of large trees 12 inch dbh ) occurs during the bat non-volant season (March 1 through August 31), a qualified professional shall conduct a pre-construction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies and identify measures to protect colonies from disturbance. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified professional, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities.

Discussion:
a-c) The project site is located on land that is highly visible as viewed primarily along Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The City’ s Planning Division has reviewed the site design and building elevations and has determined the proposed design is in conformance with the City’ s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Commercial Design Guidelines. The project would be consistent in height with buildings on the developed adjacent commercial properties. Therefore, the project does not represent a significant adverse visual impact. The project site is not located adjacent to a state-designated scenic highway.

The six commercial buildings are proposed to be architecturally compatible which includes a mixture of materials including, metal roofing material, stucco, stone veneer, lap siding, wood plank siding, board and batt, grove siding, and glazing. The buildings and associated facades will have varying heights, awnings, canopies, cornices, pitched roofs, trellises, and other decorative fixtures to provide articulation to the building elevations which, along with varying natural earth tone colors and patterns, provide variation in the appearance of the buildings.

Other project features include, but not limited to landscaping, hardscape features, solid waste enclosures, monument signs, building signage, and parking lot, driveway and walkway lighting. d) There would not be an adverse effect on day or nighttime views in the area. Shielding of lighting as required by City Ordinance will minimize any impact to a level of less than significant. The following standard condition will be applicable and therefore any potential impact will be less than significant.

Construction activities for the project will be limited to normal daytime hours (i.e., 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays from May 15 through September 15, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays from September 16 through May 14, and from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays in accordance with RMC Section 18.40.100). The proposed project would not require nighttime Packet Pg. 254 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

Standard Condition Regarding Lighting
In accordance with Chapter 18.40.090, Lighting, of the Redding Municipal Code, any new roof-mounted or freestanding exterior lighting shall be designed, located, directed, and shielded in such a manner so as to prevent objectionable light at, and glare across, the property lines. A lighting detail/ photometric study demonstrating how this requirement will be satisfied shall be submitted with the building permit application.

II. AGRICULTURE 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 Mode ( 1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including 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 bin Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

d Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? X
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to nonagricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest land? x
Discussion:
a-e) The project site contains soils that consist of Red Bluff Loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes ( RbB), and Churn Gravelly Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes (CfA) and is not within an area identified by the California Department of Conservation’ s Important Farmland Series Mapping and Monitoring Program as meeting the criteria for Prime Farmland if irrigated. Red Bluff loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes, is representative of the Redding series, in which permeability is very slow. Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of erosion is slight to moderate. Churn Gravelly Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes, is moderately well drained.

Permeability and runoff are slow. The hazard of erosion is none to slight. These soil classifications do not represent prime suitability for agricultural use; therefore, development of the property would not result in any impact to agricultural resources.

X d) Result in other emissions ( such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? X
Discussion:
a-c) Shasta County, including the far northern Sacramento Valley, currently exceeds the state' s ambient standards for ozone (smog) and particulates ( fine, airborne particles). Consequently, these pollutants are the focus of local air quality policy, especially when related to land use and transportation planning. Even with application of measures to reduce emissions for individual projects, cumulative impacts are unavoidable when ozone and/ or particulate emissions are involved. For example, the primary source of emissions contributing to ozone is from vehicles. Any project that generates vehicle trips has the potential of contributing incrementally to the problem. The Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan acknowledged this dilemma; and as a result, Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were adopted by the City Council for impacts to air quality resulting from growth supported under the General Plan.

The City Air Quality Element of the General Plan establishes emission- reduction goals of 20 to 25 percent, depending on the projected level of unmitigated emissions for a project. Mitigation thresholds are established for the important regional/ local pollutants, including: Reactive Organic Gases ( ROG) and Oxides of Nitrogen ( NOx), which are ozone precursors, and Inhalable Particulate Matter, 10 Micron (PM10). The mitigation thresholds for these pollutants are tiered at two levels as follows:

Level " A" Level " B"
25 pounds per day of NOx 137 pounds per day of NOx
25 pounds per day of ROG 137 pounds per day of ROG
80 pounds per day of PM10 137 pounds per day of PM10
If a project has unmitigated emissions less than the Level " A" threshold, then itis viewed as a minor project (from an air quality perspective) and only application of Standard Mitigation Measures ( SMMs) is required to try to achieve at least a 20 percent reduction in emissions, or the best reduction feasible otherwise. Land uses that generate unmitigated emissions above Level " A" require application of appropriate Best Available Mitigation Measures ( BAMMs), in addition to the SMMs, in order to achieve a net emission reduction of 20 percent or more. If, after applying SMMs and BAMMs, a use still exceeds the Level " B" threshold, then a minimum of 25 percent of the unmitigated emissions exceeding 137 pounds per day must be offset by reducing emissions Packet Pg. 256 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

Under policy of the Air Quality Element, a project has the potential to impact air quality primarily in two ways: ( 1) the project would generate vehicle trip emissions ( with NOx, ROG, and PM10) that contribute cumulatively to local and regional air quality conditions; and (2) fugitive dust (particulate/ PM10) emissions are possible during construction activities. As a shopping center and self-storage facility serving and underserved area of the city where many residents travel much farther for these services, the project does not have the potential to generate significant emission concentrations of other pollutants subject to state and federal ambient air quality standards.

Application of Standard Mitigation Measures ( SMMs) is required in order to strive toward the General Plan policy of a 20 percent reduction in emissions to address small-scale cumulative effects. SMMs applicable to this project address primarily short-term impacts related to construction and are standard development regulations promulgated in the City Grading Ordinance and California Building Code identified below. Application of the SMMs and the application of Best Available Mitigation Measures for NOx emissions as outlined below would reduce the project’ s potential air quality impacts to a level less than significant.

1. Nontoxic soil stabilizers shall be applied according to manufacturer’ s specification to all inactive construction areas previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more).

2. All grading operations shall be suspended when winds (as instantaneous gusts) exceed 20 miles per hour.

3. Temporary traffic control shall be provided as appropriate during all phases of construction to improve traffic flow (e.g., flag person).

4. Construction activities that could affect traffic flow shall be scheduled in off-peak hours.

5. Active construction areas, haul roads, etc., shall be watered at least twice daily or more as needed to limit dust.

6. Exposed stockpiles of soil and other backfill material shall either be covered, watered, or have soil binders added to inhibit dust and wind erosion.

7. All truck hauling solid and other loose material shall be covered or should maintain at least two feet of freeboard (i.e., minimum vertical distance between top of the load and the trailer) in accordance with the requirements of CVC Section 23114. This provision is enforced by local law enforcement agencies.

8. All public roadways used by the project contractor shall be maintained free from dust, dirt, and debris caused by construction activities. Streets shall be swept at the end of the day if visible soil materials are carried onto adjacent public paved roads. Wheel washers shall be used where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto paved roads, or trucks and any equipment shall be washed off leaving the site with each trip.

9. Alternatives to open burning of cleared vegetative material on the project site shall be used unless otherwise deemed infeasible by the City Planning Division. Suitable alternatives include, but arenotlimited to, on-sitechipping and mulching and/ or hauling to a biomass fuel site.
c) Potential impacts to neighboring homes ( sensitive receptors) from fugitive dust caused during construction are mitigated by application of the SMMs discussed above.
d) The project does not involve land use that could generate objectionable odors affecting substantial number of people.

Discussion:
a) A Biological Review Report was prepared for the project by Wildland Resource Managers ( WRM), dated May 2020, to assess the impacts of the proposed project on biological resources in the project area and vicinity. In addition to research, database review, and species list reviews, a habitat assessment and biological reconnaissance survey was conducted. Upon numerous inspections of the project area few wildlife species were observed and no listed species of flora or fauna were found. Several bird species were observed moving through the area as well as bats foraging over the site. These movements were classified as “opportunistic” rather than evidencing a travel corridor or migratory movement, of which there is no evidence. On February 26, 2020 and April 8, 2020, a spade-foot toad survey was conducted paying particular attention to the intermittent and ephemeral stream areas. No toads were seen or heard. Although the intermittent stream that flows through the project area has connectivity to the Sacramento River downstream, fish passage during normal flows is restricted by barriers. b) According to the California Natural Diversity Database ( CNDDB), 11 sensitive habitats, either on the Federal or State status, occur within CNDDB Enterprise Quadrant in which the project site is located: foothill yellow-legged frog, bald eagle, bank swallow, tricolored blackbird, vernal pool fairy shrimp, green sturgeon, steelhead, chinook salmon- Central Valley spring-run and - Sacramento River winter-run, gray wolf, slender Orcutt grass. Based on the Biological Review Report, discussed above, no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulation, or by CDFW or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were observed on the project site.
c) A Wetlands Delineation was prepared for the project by WRM in November 2019 and revised in May 2020. The field study efforts mapped 4 features in the proposed project site, including wetlands and other waters: emergent wetland, ephemeral swale, intermittent stream and a pond. There is an intermittent stream that flows through the center of the project site from north to south. The stream only carries water during the wet season from a culvert under Hartnell Avenue south across the property to the southwest corner. After leaving the property the stream is channeled along the western side of Shasta View Drive south to Packet Pg. 258 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

UP- 2020-01669, PM-2021- 00290, RZ-2020- 01668, GPA- 2020- 01667 Hartnell Commercial Complex 12 Clover Creek Preserve. There is no true riparian habitat present. An ephemeral stream originates near the paved parking area in the northwest corner of the property and flows to north to south, intersecting the intermittent stream near the center of the property. This stream has a very shallow gradient with annual vegetation present within the stream channel. The emergent wetland is just to the east, and associated within, the intermittent stream near the center of the property. This wetland is moist during the winter months but dries out during the summer. The emergent pond holds water during the rainy season and quickly dries with the onset of warm weather. The delineation summarized that the combined total of jurisdictional wetland features on the proposed project site is 0.4013 acres. The project will impact all the wetland features found on the property. The intermittent stream will be placed within a 24-inch buried culvert and the ephemeral stream, emergent wetland and pond will be filled to the necessary project grade. In February 2020 the wetlands delineation report along with a Pre-construction notice, both prepared by WRM, were submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with a request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination and assistance with implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. However, a response from the Corps is still pending.

Implementation of MM-1 would reduce potential impacts to jurisdictional waters to less than significant. d) Although no active bird nests were observed on the proposed project site during the field inspections, birds could establish nests in vegetation on or adjacent to these areas in future nesting seasons. The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) requires that nesting migratory birds not be adversely affected by human activities. Nesting migratory birds would potentially be directly or indirectly impacted by construction activities associated with the proposed project. Direct impacts include mortality resulting from removal of vegetation contained an active nest with eggs or chicks. Indirect impacts include nest abandonment by adults in response to loud noise levels or human encroachment, or a reduction in the amount of food available to young birds due to changes in feeding behavior by adults. Most migratory birds anticipated to occur in the project area next between February 1 and August 31. Implementation of MM-2 would reduce potential impacts to nesting migratory birds to less than significant.

During the biological field inspection, it was observed that there is some bat roosting habitat on-site in the form of tree cavities and bark crevices as well as several snags. However, no bat activity was observed around these features. The non-riparian trees on the site offer lower habitat values for bats; however, even on the non-riparian trees itis possible that bats could roost in trunk cavities or under loose bark. Implementation of MM-3 would reduce potential impacts to roosting bats to less than significant. e) The City has adopted a Tree Management Ordinance ( Chapter 18.45 of the RMC) that promotes the conservation of mature, healthy trees in the design of new development. The ordinance also recognizes that the preservation of trees will sometimes conflict with necessary land-development requirements. The City’ s General Plan EIR further acknowledges that preservation of native trees will sometimes conflict with normal land development and that implementation of the General Plan will ultimately set aside over 7,000 acres of open space, much of which contains oak habitat. But efforts must still be made to retain existing trees if reasonably possible, and to sufficiently plant new trees in the context of the new development. A tree survey is required to identify natural trees and tree groups most suitable for preservation or " candidate trees/ groups." Where all identified candidate trees/ groups cannot be preserved, the set-aside of a natural area or areas within a project site that is particularly suitable for the planting, retention, and/ or natural regeneration of trees is considered to be a desirable means of accomplishing the goals of the ordinance.

A Tree Survey was prepared for the project by Wildland Resource Managers. The survey found two primary vegetation associations on the project site. Blueoak/ interior live oak woodlands were found along the eastern and southern edges of the property covering approximately 31.4 percent of the project site. The survey identified 193 blue oaks larger than 6-inch dbh and 92 interior live oak larger than 6-inch dbh. The Tree Survey Exhibit depicts the location of the group oftrees on the proposed site plan. Further, it identified that there are several small to medium- sized oak trees located in the southwest portion of the site, however, none would be considered candidate trees. It was further observed that some vegetation management has taken place in the past as there is evidence of oak harvesting resulting in root crown sprouting and an open appearance in the north central portion of the project area. The proposal does not incorporate the retention of any of the trees. The developer is obligated to replant suitable new trees at the time of construction for shade. The Tree Management Ordinance identifies minimum planting criteria of one tree per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area or covered space, hence based on the proposed 83,888 square feet of gross floor area, a minimum of 84 trees are required. Additionally, the street frontages are required street trees at a ratio of 1 tree for every 30 feet of street frontage, therefore with the project site consisting of approximately 2,100 feet of street frontage, a minimum of 70 trees are required along the street frontages. Therefore, the requirement to plant a minimum of 154 new trees as a standard condition of development. Additionally, to mitigate the loss of trees at the project site MM-4 requires replacement at a minimum of 1:1 ratio resulting in a minimum of 194 trees planted in association with the project. Hence, the project is Packet Pg. 259 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

Discussion
a-c) An archaeological inventory survey, dated December 2019 was prepared by Sean Michael Jensen, M.A. Based upon archaeological reports, records searches, and information contained in the General Plan EIR pertinent to the vicinity of the subject property, it has been determined that the project site is not in an area of archaeological or cultural sensitivity. While the project is not anticipated to affect cultural resources, a condition of approval will require if, during the course of development, any archaeological, historical, or paleontological resources are uncovered or otherwise detected or observed, construction activities in the area affected shall cease and the City shall be notified immediately. A qualified archaeological professional must then be retained by the developer to investigate the discovered cultural object to determine its significance.

If the cultural object is deemed potentially significant by the archaeologist, appropriate treatment and measures shall be followed in accordance with applicable laws, as reviewed and approved by the City, prior to the resumption of work in the affected area.

a) The project would not result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation. Direct energy use would involve the short-term use of energy for construction activities. Project construction would primarily consume diesel and gasoline through operation of construction equipment, material deliveries, and debris hauling. Construction is estimated to result in a short-term consumption of energy, representing a small demand on local and regional fuel supplies that would be easily accommodated and would be temporary. Long term use of electricity for operations such as lighting, heating, and cooling in the development is excepted to be less than significant.
b) The project will not conflict with any State or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency.

a, c, d) There are no Alquist-Priolo earthquake faults designated in the Redding area of Shasta County. There are no other documented earthquake faults in the immediate vicinity that pose a significant risk, and the site is located in an area designated in the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan as having a low ground- shaking potential. The project is not located on or near any documented landslide hazard areas, and there is no evidence of ground slippage or subsidence occurring naturally on the site. The type of soils and underlying geology is identified as having no potential for liquefaction.

No portion of the site falls within the 100-year floodplain of the Sacramento River or any creek. b) The project site contains two soil classifications types, Red Bluff Loam (RbA), and Churn Gravelly Loam (CfA). These classifications are characterized by slopes of 3-8% percent and slow to medium runoff with a hazard of erosion that is slight to moderate. The soil is well-drained and has moderately slow permeability. Proposed grading will consist of that necessary for improvements of property in preparation for paving, landscaping, and building construction.

The project is subject to certain erosion- control requirements mandated by existing City and State regulations. These requirements include:

City of Redding Grading Ordinance. This ordinance requires the application of “ Best Management Practices” ( BMPs) in accordance with the City Erosion and Sediment Control Standards Design Manual ( Redding Municipal Code Section

16.12.060, Subsections C, D, E). In practice, specific erosion- control measures are determined upon review of the final project improvement plans and are tailored to project-specific grading impacts.

California Regional Water Quality Board “ Construction Activity Storm Water Permit.” This permit somewhat overlaps the City’ s Grading Ordinance provision by applying state standards for erosion- control measures during construction of the project.

California Regional Water Quality Control Board “ Project Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP).” This plan emphasizes stormwater best management practices and is required as part ofthe Construction Activity Storm Water Permit.

The objectives of the SWPPP are to identify the sources of sediment and other pollutants that affect the quality of stormwater discharges and todescribe and ensure the implementation of practices toreduce sediment and other pollutants in stormwater discharges.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife “ 1600 Agreement.” This notification is required for any work within a defined streambed.

U.S. Army corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit. A new Nationwide 29 Permit (residential developments) will be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to address impacts to jurisdictional waters.

Actions for compliance with these regulations are addressed under standard conditions of approval, which are uniformly applied to all land development projects. Since the project is subject to uniformly applied ordinances and policies and the overall risk of erosion is low, potential impacts related to soil erosion and sedimentation are less than significant. f) The proposed project does not involve the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal. No impact has been identified.
g) No unique geologic features, fossil-bearing strata, or paleontological sites are known to exist on the project site.

a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?

b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
X
Discussion:
a) In 2005, the Governor of California signed Executive Oder S-3-05, establishing that it is the State of California’ s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels. Subsequently, in 2006, the California State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill AS 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act. In part, AB 32 requires the California Air Resources Board to develop and adopt regulations to achieve a reduction in the State’ s GHG emissions to year 1990 levels by year 2020.

California Senate Bill SB97 established that an individual project’ s effect on GHG emission levels and global warming must be assessed under CEQA. SB97 further directed that the State Office of Planning and Research ( OPR) develop guidelines for the assessment of a project’ s GHG emissions. Those guidelines for GHG emissions were subsequently included as amendments to the CEQA Guidelines. The guidelines did not establish thresholds of significance and there are currently no state, regional, county, or city guidelines or thresholds with which to direct project-level CEQA review. As a result, the City of Redding has utilized the best available information to develop a threshold until a specific quantitative threshold is adopted by the state or regional air district.

As the Lead Agency, the City has opted to utilize a quantitative non-zero project- specific threshold using a methodology recommended by the California Air Pollution Officers ( CAPCOA) and accepted by the California Air Resources Board. According to CAPCOA’ s Threshold 2.3, CARB Reporting Threshold, 10,000 metric tons of carbon- dioxide equivalents per year (mtCO2eq/ yr) is recommended as aquantitative non-zero threshold. According to the CAPCOA, this threshold would be equivalent to 550 dwelling units, 400,000 square feet of office use, 120,000 square feet of retail, or 70,000 square feet of supermarket use. This approach is estimated tocapture over half the future residential and commercial development projects and is designed to support the goals of AB 32 and not hinder it.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies four primary constituents that are most representative of the GHG emissions. They are:

Carbon Dioxide ( CO2): Emitted primarily through the burning of fossil fuels. Other sources include the burning of solid waste and wood and/ or wood products and cement manufacturing.

Methane ( CH4): Emissions occur during the production and transport of fuels, such as coal and natural gas. Additional emissions are generated by livestock and agricultural land uses, as well as the decomposition of solid waste.

Nitrous Oxide ( N2O): The principal emitters include agricultural and industrial land uses and fossil fuel and waste combustion.

Fluorinated Gases: These can be emitted during some industrial activities. Also, many of these gases are substitutes for ozone-depleting substances, such as CFC’ s, which have been used historically as refrigerants. Collectively, these gases are often referred to as “ high global-warming potential” gases.

The primary generators of GHG emissions in the United States are electricity generation and transportation. The EPA estimates that nearly 85 percent of the nation’ s GHG emissions are comprised of carbon dioxide (CO2). The majority of CO2is generated by petroleum Packet Pg. 264 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

The remaining emissions are predominately the result of natural- gas consumption associated with a variety of uses.

With regard to the project, the predominant associated GHG is CO2 generated by motor-vehicle travel to and from the site. To a substantially lesser degree, the project will result in CH4 emissions associated with use of electric power generated by the Redding Electric Utility (REU), though it should be noted that REU distributes power from a variety of sources, including hydroelectric, wind, and natural gas.

Given the scope and nature of the proposed project compared to that of similar projects, emissions from the project would be significantly below the thresholds put forth by CARB, as well as the City’ s air-quality thresholds. Therefore, the project would not contribute significantly to GHG emissions in the air basin. Additionally, the City and State’ s construction standards and BMPs, including Air Quality SSM 1 through 9 (listed in Section III, Air Quality, above), will be used during construction to further limit any potential contribution to negative impacts from GHG emissions. The project’ s direct or indirect impact on measurable GHGs in the Redding area would be less than significant.

Water pollution best management practices are required and will be incorporated into the improvement plans for the project. The City’ s construction standards require that all projects prepare an erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) prior to construction to address water pollution control. The ESCP will ensure that water quality standards are not substantially affected by the project during construction. b) The project would utilize City water service for domestic uses and fire protection. The proposed project would not impact groundwater supplies.
c) Stormwater runoff from the site flows from north to south by way of an intermittent stream. The stream carries water from a culvert under Hartnell Avenue south across the property to the southwest corner. An ephemeral stream flows from the northwest to the center of the site where itjoins the aforementioned intermittent stream. The project will be required to install storm drain pipe connecting the culvert under Hartnell Avenue to the storm drain system running along the western side of Shasta View Drive, but would not alter the pattern or result in substantial erosion, surface runoff, flooding on- or off- site, or otherwise substantially degrade water quality with construction.

The project is subject to standard requirements defined under Section VII., Geology and Soils, and mitigation measures ( if any) under Section IV., Biological Resources, above that minimize the potential for erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The final improvement plans for the project must also incorporate specific design measures intended to limit pollutant discharges in stormwater from urban improvements as established under the State’ s National Pollutant Elimination System ( NPDES) general permit, which the City is now obligated to follow in accordance with State Water Quality Control Order No. 2003-0005-DWQ.

Feasible Best Management Practices ( BMPs) would be incorporated in the final design of the project’ s storm-drain system, as approved by the City Engineer, based on the BMPs listed in the latest edition of the California Storm Water Quality Association Storm Water Best Management Practices Handbook.

City of Redding Policy 1806 requires that all subdivision development include stormwater detention facilities designed to maintain existing predevelopment rates of runoff during a 10-, 25-, and 100-year storm event with a 6-hour duration. The project application includes a stormwater hydrology analysis prepared by Wildland Resource Managers and dated May 2020 that concludes that impacts from stormwater drainage and runoff would be less than significant. d) The property is not located within any agency or otherwise- documented flood-hazard boundary, tsunami, or seiche zones. The threat of a tsunami wave is not applicable to inland, central valley communities such as Redding. Seiches could potentially be generated in either Shasta or Whiskeytown Lakes during an earthquake. However, neither lake has been identified in the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan as having any risk to the City under such circumstances. There is no documented threat of mudflows affecting the project site.
e) The project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan.

Discussion:
a) The project does not have the potential to physically divide an established community. The project site is zoned “ SC” Shopping Center as are the properties to the north and west. The zoning transitions to multiple family and then single-family zoning to the south.
b) The project is approximately 12.13 acres in size. The project area is currently zoned for shopping center, “ SC” Zoning Designation, and has a General Plan designation of “Shopping Center.” A shopping center, therefore, is appropriate within the existing zoning district and General Plan designation. However, a self-storage facility is not a permitted land use with the existing zoning district nor General Plan designation. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a rezoning to “HC” Heavy Commercial and a general plan amendment to “Heavy Commercial.” The zoning transitions to multiple family to the east across Leonard Street and single family to the south, however, as a self-storage facility, very little traffic or noise is associated with these sues. The main office and gate for the facility is located along the Leonard Street frontage at the northwest corner of the facility. A detention basis and an emergency access easement is proposed along the south property line which will buffer the single family and multiple family districts from the proposed shopping center and self-storage facility. The project is compatible with the applicable policies and regulations of the City General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and is not in conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

x
Discussion:
a) During the construction of the proposed project, there will be a temporary increase in noise in the project vicinity above existing ambient noise levels. The most noticeable construction noise will be related to grading, utility excavation, and land-clearing activity. The City' s Grading Ordinance ( RMC Chapter 16.12.120.H) limits grading- permit-authorized activities to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No operations are allowed on Sunday. Since heavy construction work associated with the project is limited in scope and by existing regulation, the anticipated noise impact to neighboring residents is considered less than significant.
b) Due to the nature of the project as a shopping center and mini storage facility, it would not result in a permanent increase in ambient noise levels and would not result in generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or ground- borne noise levels. c) The proposed project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or airport, or within area of the Redding Municipal Airport or Benton airport land use plan.

x
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing
elsewhere?
x
Discussion:
a, b) The project will improve the frontage of the project site. The nature of the project, as a shopping center and self-storage facility, would not induce unplanned population growth and does not propose the extension of an new roads or utilities not anticipated by the General Plan. The project does not displace substantial numbers of people. No impacts to population and housing will result from the project.

Discussion:

Fire and Police Protection:

The City would provide police and fire protection to the project from existing facilities and under existing service levels. The size of the project would not mandate the need for additional police or fire facilities.

The project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay a citywide fire facilitiesimpact fee calculated to mitigate a project’ s fair share of cumulative impacts to the City’ s fire-protection infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City’ s General Plan.

Schools:

The project is a commercial shopping center and mini storage facility and will have no impact to schools.

Discussion:
a - c) A traffic study for the area was prepared by GHD, dated March 1, 2021. The study assessed four scenarios; ( 1) existing conditions; ( 2) existing plus project conditions; ( 3) year 2040 no project conditions; and (4) year 2040 plus project conditions.

The study identified under the “ Existing Plus Project” scenario, the Shasta View Drive roadway segment is projected to operate at LOS F. Implementation of MM-5 which involves restriping of Shasta View Drive and construction of sidewalk along the east side of Shasta View Drive will reduce potential impacts to the Shasta View Drive roadway segment to less than significant.

Under the “Year 2040 Plus Project” scenario, the unsignalized intersection at Alta Mesa Drive and Hartnell Avenue is projected to operate at LOS E in the AM and LOS F in the PM peak hours. Implementation of MM-6 requiring the construction of a roundabout at this intersection will reduce potential impacts to the Alta Mesa Drive and Hartnell Avenue intersection to less than significant.

Therefore, incorporating the off-site improvements as mitigations, no impacts associated with traffic volumes are anticipated.

The project would not conflict with any program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system and the project will not conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064. 3(b). The project will be required to construct frontage improvements along Shasta View Drive, Hartnell Avenue, and Leonard Avenue, including sidewalk along Shasta View Drive and Hartnell Avenue. The project would not significantly increase any hazards due to design but would enhance the circulation system with completion of sidewalks along both streets.

The project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay a citywide transportation- development impact fee calculated to mitigate a project’ s fair share of cumulative impacts tothe City’s streetand traffic-control infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City’s General Plan.

With the proposed improvements, impacts totransportation would be considered less than significant, and likely will improve levels of service.
d) The Redding Fire Marshall has reviewed the project. The project includes entrances along Shasta View Drive and an emergency access/ exit from the facility to Maraglia Street which is adequate access for emergency access and fire protection.

a. Restriping of the portion of Shasta View Drive between Hartnell Avenue and Goodwater Avenue to a three-lane arterial with one travel lane in each direction with a two-way left turn lane. b. Construct a 5-foot sidewalk along the east side of Shasta View Drive from Hartnell Avenue to Christian Avenue.

MM-6 Construct a 3-leg, single lane roundabout at the Alta Mesa Drive and Hartnell Avenue intersection.

XVIII. TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is:

x
Discussion:
a, b) In accordance with Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), the City consulted with the local Native American tribes requesting notification pursuant to Section 21080.3 of CEQA. This consultation included contacting the local Native American via letters sent on March 8, 2021. No tribal cultural resources were identified within the project area and the proposed project would therefore, not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of any known tribal cultural resources.

Mitigation:

None necessary.

x
e) Comply with Federal, State, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? x Discussion:
a) Wastewater generated from the project would be that associated with the shopping center and manager’ s office discharged into the City sanitary sewer system. This type and intensity of land use activity does not generate wastewater demands that would exceed treatment requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The proposed development does not generate the need for the construction of new water or wastewater- treatment facilities.

The project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay water and sewer impact fees calculated to mitigate aproject’ s fair share of cumulative impacts to the City’ s water and sewer distribution, collection, and treatment infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City’ s General Plan.

Project-related stormwater- management improvements consist of construction of collection and conveyance systems in accordance with City construction standards and City Policy 1806 pertaining to stormwater detention ( also see IX, Hydrology and Water Quality, d and e).
b) Potable water is available from the City to serve all seven parcels of the project with adequate pressure and flows for fire suppression. The demands of the project can be accommodated within the City’ s existing water resources and the reasonably foreseeable future during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. c) All seven of the project parcels will utilize the City’ s sanitary sewer system to dispose of wastewater. Adequate sewer capacity is available in the City’ s existing system.
d, e) The City provides solid waste disposal service, which the project would utilize. Adequate capacity is available to serve the needs of the project without need of special accommodation.

d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes?
x
Discussion:
a) The project site is not located within the Very High Fire Severity Zone and is not adjacent to areas with significant fuel loads. The project would not impair an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. b, c, d) Because the project site is relatively flat without any significant slope and vegetation, nor is it surrounded by any significant vegetated area or slopes, the project would not exacerbate wildfire risks or expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire, require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure that could exacerbate wildfire risks, or expose people or structures to downstream flooding or landslides. No impacts associated with wildfire are anticipated.

HARTNELL COMMERCIAL COMPLEX BY SUMMIT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM CONTENTS
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring Program ( MMP) for the Hartnell Commercial Complex by Summit Development. The MMP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for and the purpose of the program, discussion, and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance, a key to understanding the monitoring matrix, and the monitoring matrix itself.

LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM California Public Resources Code Section 21081. 6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an environmental impact report ( EIR) or a mitigated negative declaration. This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.

The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Hartnell Commercial Complex by Summit Development. It is intended to be used by City of Redding ( City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation of the project.

Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following:

Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action.

Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation.

Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the impacted environment.

Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project.

Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.

The intent of the MMP is to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of adopted mitigation measures and permit conditions. The MMP will provide for monitoring of construction activities as necessary, on-site identification and resolution of environmental problems, and proper reporting to City staff.

An emergent wetland exists along the intermittent stream just west of the center of the project site. An ephemeral swale parallels Shasta View Drive along Appian Way which joins with the intermittent stream at the southwest quadrant of the project site. A small isolated pond also exists within the southwest quadrant of the project site.

EXISTING LAND USE. The property is currently vacant.

GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION. “ Shopping Center”.

ZONING DESIGNATION. “ SC” Shopping Center.

SURROUNDING LAND USES
North: Heavy Commercial
East: Heavy Commercial and Residential Multi- Family
South: Residential Multi-Family and Residential Single-Family West: General Commercial and Residential Single- Family Background
The project site encompasses five parcels of approximately 12.13 acres and was previously developed with a retail complex located at the northwest corner. The site is currently undeveloped and has sparse coverage of Blue and Interior Live Oak trees, annual grasses and scattered native shrubs. Commercial uses are located to the north and west. To the south the project is bordered by single and multiple family uses. West of the project is a mix of commercial and multiple family.

The proposed shopping center consists of a 30,000-square-foot Holiday Market Grocery Store, and five outer pads for retail, a drive- through restaurant, a coffee drive- through, and an automobile fueling station with a convenience store. The project also includes the request to allow a mini- storage facility on 2.8 acres of land. A parcel map related to the project will delineate each of the retail spaces and the proposed mini-storage warehouse facility on their respective parcel, taking the total parcels from five to seven. The rezone is a request to change the current zoned “ SC” Shopping Center on the proposed 2.8-acre mini-storage facility parcel to HC” Heavy Commercial. The general plan amendment request reflects the rezone request to amend the existing general plan designation of “Shopping Center” to “Heavy Commercial.” Issues
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY. It is staff’ s opinion that the project shopping center embodies the very land uses that are envisioned by the property’ s zoning and General Plan designations and that the surrounding area is currently underserved by the types of goods and services that will be provided by the proposed shopping center. The Community Development and Design Element of the General Plan defines the Shopping Center designation as being applicable to sites for shopping centers serving a larger market area than a neighborhood center, but a smaller market area than a regional center, typically including two or more anchor tenants, such as a supermarket and combined drug/ variety/ garden business, tenants offering consumer goods and Packet Pg. 333 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for Report to Redding Planning Commission June 4, 2021
Re: 4(b)1--Use Permit Application UP- 2020- 01669, TJG/ Summit Development Corp ( Hartnell Com Complex) Page 3
personal services, and office and clinic uses. Sites designated Shopping Center generally range from 5 to 20 acres and accommodate 50,000 to 200,000 square feet of building area. The project is consistent with the General Plan definitions of allowable land uses. The project provides a transition to the residential uses nearby through the use of appropriate setbacks, landscape buffers, and solid masonry walls with pedestrian access points enhancing compatibility between the residential and commercial land uses (Policy CDD9D).

The proposed mini-storage facility on the east side of the project site requires an amendment to the General Plan and Rezone for consistency. The site is currently zoned “ SC” Shopping Center with a General Plan classification of “Shopping Center.” These current designations do not allow for mini- storage facilities. The project requires a general plan amendment to “ Heavy Commercial” and a rezoning to “ HC” Heavy Commercial, to allow for the development of the mini- storage facility at this site. With the approval of the general plan amendment and rezoning applications, the construction of the proposed storage facility would be permissible with a Site Development Permit. The zoning transitions to multiple family to the east across Leonard Street and single family to the south, however, as a self-storage facility, very little traffic or noise is associated with these ensues. The main office and gate for the facility is located along the Leonard Street frontage at the northwest corner of the facility. A detention basis and an emergency access easement is proposed along the south property line which will buffer the single family and multiple family districts from the proposed shopping center and self-storage facility. In the opinion of department staff, the storage facility provides a suitable “ buffer” between the activity of the shopping center and the single-family residences located east of the development.

SITE DESIGN. The project site is located on land that is highly visible as viewed primarily along Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The City’s Planning Division has reviewed the site design and building elevations and has determined the proposed design is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Commercial Design Guidelines. The project would be consistent in height with buildings on the developed adjacent commercial properties.

Other project features include, but not limited to landscaping, hardscape features, solid waste enclosures, monument signs, building signage, and parking lot, driveway and walkway lighting.

TRAFFIC. A traffic study for the area was prepared by GHD. The study identified two intersections with existing less than ideal level of service, Shast a View Drive at Goodwater Avenue and Alta Mesa Drive at Hartnell Avenue. The project will include off-site improvements to Shasta View Drive including restriping Shasta View Drive from Hartnell Avenue to Goodwater Avenue, as well as construction of sidewalk along the east side of Shasta View Drive from Hartnell Avenue to approximately 573 feet north of Kerry Avenue. Furthermore, the applicant will also be obligated to contributing their fair share of the cost of design and construction for signalized intersections at both the Shasta View Drive at Goodwater Avenue and Alta Mesa Drive at Hartnell intersections. Therefore, incorporating the off-site improvements and fair share costs as a mitigation, no impacts associated with traffic volumes are anticipated.

These mitigations are reflected as conditions of approval, attached. The project would not conflict with any program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system and the project will not conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b).

In regards to project frontage improvements, the project will be required to construct frontage improvements including sidewalk along Shasta View Drive and Hartnell Avenue. Frontage Packet Pg. 334 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for Report to Redding Planning Commission June 4, 2021
Re: 4(b)1--Use Permit Application UP- 2020- 01669, TJG/ Summit Development Corp ( Hartnell Com Complex) Page 4
improvements along Leonard Street will also be required. The project would not significantly increase any hazards due to design but would enhance the circulation system with completion of sidewalks along both streets.

BIOLOGICAL. A Biological Review Report was prepared for the project by Wildland Resource Managers (WRM), to assess the impacts of the proposed project on biological resources in the project area and vicinity. In addition to research, database review, and species list reviews, a habitat assessment and biological reconnaissance survey was conducted. Upon numerous inspections of the project area few wildlife species were observed and no listed species of flora or fauna were found. As a result of the delineation of Waters of the U.S., a small jurisdictional water of approximately 0.4 acres in size was located. The report identified the loss of jurisdictional waters and potential habitat loss for migratory birds, bats and any other potential species of concern. Mitigation measures contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration include:

Prior to any discharge of dredged or fill material into “ waters of the U.S.”, including wetlands, authorization under a Nationwide Permit or Individual Permit shall be obtained from the Corps. For any features determined to not be subject to the Corps jurisdiction during the verification process, authorization to discharge ( or a waiver from regulation) shall be obtained from the RWQCB.

Allowing tree removal only outside of the nesting seasons for migratory birds and bats, unless their absence is confirmed by a qualified biologist.

Purchase wetland credits for 0.15 acres of wetland features at an approved wetland bank.

These mitigations are reflected in the attached conditions of approval.

LIGHTING. There would not be an adverse effect on day or nighttime views in the area. Shielding of lighting as required by City Ordinance will minimize any impact to a level of less than significant. The following standard condition will be applicable and therefore any potential impact will be less than significant.

Construction activities for the project will be limited to normal daytime hours (i.e., 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays from May 15 through September 15, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays from September 16 through May 14, and from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays in accordance with RMC Section 18.40.100). The proposed project would not require nighttime lighting for construction activities. Thus, no impact would occur in this regard.

BUILDING DESIGN. The project site is located on land that is highly visible as viewed primarily along Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The six commercial buildings are proposed to be architecturally compatible which includes a mixture of materials including, metal roofing material, stucco, stone veneer, lap siding, wood plank siding, board and batt, grove siding, and glazing. The buildings and associated facades will have varying heights, awnings, canopies, cornices, pitched roofs, trellises, and other decorative fixtures to provide articulation to the building elevations which, along with varying natural earth tone colors and patterns, provide variation in the appearance of the buildings.

TREE PRESERVATION. The City has adopted a Tree Management Ordinance (Chapter 18.45 of the RMC) that promotes the conservation of mature, healthy trees in the design of new development. The ordinance also recognizes that the preservation of trees will sometimes Packet Pg. 335 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for Report to Redding Planning Commission June 4, 2021
Re: 4(b)1--Use Permit Application UP- 2020- 01669, TJG/ Summit Development Corp ( Hartnell Com Complex) Page 5
conflict with necessary land-development requirements. The City’s General Plan EIR further acknowledges that preservation of native trees will sometimes conflict with normal land development and that implementation of the General Plan will ultimately set aside over 7,000 acres of open space, much of which contains oak habitat. But efforts must still be made to retain existing trees if reasonably possible, and to sufficiently plant new trees in the context of the new development. A tree survey is required to identify natural trees and tree groups most suitable for preservation or " candidate trees/ groups." Where all identified candidate trees/ groups cannot be preserved, the set-aside of a natural area or areas within a project site that is particularly suitable for the planting, retention, and/ or natural regeneration of trees is considered to be a desirable means of accomplishing the goals of the ordinance.

A Tree Survey was prepared for the project by Wildland Resource Managers. The survey found two primary vegetation associations on the project site. Blue Oak/interior live oak woodlands were found along the eastern and southern edges of the property covering approximately 31.4 percent of the project site. The survey identified 193 blue oaks larger than 6-inch diameter at breast height ( dbh) and 92 interior live oak larger than six-inch dbh. The Tree Survey Exhibit depicts the location of the group of trees on the proposed site plan. Further, it identified that there are several small to medium-sized oak trees located in the southwest portion of the site, however, none would be considered candidate trees. It was further observed that some vegetation management has taken place in the past as there is evidence of oak harvesting resulting in root crown sprouting and an open appearance in the north central portion of the project area. The proposal does not incorporate the retention of any of the trees. However, the developer is proposing to retain those healthy trees that will not be impacted by buildings and paving. The developer is obligated to replant suitable new trees at the time of construction for shade. The Tree Management Ordinance identifies minimum planting criteria of one tree per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area or covered space, hence based on the proposed 83,888 square feet of gross floor area, a minimum of 84 trees are required. Additionally, the street frontages are required street trees at a ratio of one tree for every 30 feet of street frontage, therefore with the project site consisting of approximately 2,100 feet of street frontage, a minimum of 70 trees are required along the street frontages. Therefore, the requirement to plant a minimum of 154 new trees is a standard condition of development. However, to mitigate the loss of trees at the project site a mitigation of the project requires replacement at a minimum of 1:1 ratio resulting in a minimum of 194 trees planted in association with the project. Hence, the project is consistent with the intent of the Tree Management Ordinance.

PARCEL MAP. The proposed parcel map is intended to divide the each of the retail spaces and the proposed mini- storage warehouse facility on their respective parcel, taking the total parcels from five to seven. The parcel sizes range from 0.57 acres (24,829 square feet) to 3.47 acres (151,153 square feet). The “ SC” Shopping Center and “ HC” Heavy Commercial zoning districts allow parcels to be a minimum size of 10,000 square feet. The proposed parcels are well over the minimum requirements. Reciprocal driveway and parking easements are managed privately by the shopping center’ s Property Owners Association.

Environmental Determination
Staff prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. A notice of availability of the environmental document was sent to surrounding property owners, local agencies, and the State Clearinghouse for public review. The public review period will end on June 7, 2021. The environmental document Packet Pg. 336 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for Report to Redding Planning Commission June 4, 2021
Re: 4(b)1--Use Permit Application UP- 2020- 01669, TJG/ Summit Development Corp ( Hartnell Com Complex) Page 6
concludes that with the application of standard City and agency development standards and regulations and the identified mitigation measures, the project does not have the potential to significantly affect the environment.

Public Comment
To date staff has received four written comments from residents expressing concern about the project. These comments are attached. The comments express concern over the lack of sidewalk on the west side of Shasta View Drive, noise, traffic, dust, transient activit y, and the use of Leonard Street as a result of the proposed mini-storage development. One comment received from Angela Moskow of the California Oaks Coalition expressed concern over the removal of oak woodlands on the property.

Additionally, the applicant held a public information meeting regarding the project on May 20, 2021. Staff was in attendance and observed a majority of positive comments.

SUMMIT DEVELOPMENT

USE PERMIT FINDINGS

1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of such proposed use. The shopping center and mini- storage facility use at this site will have additional impacts to the neighborhood in regards to traffic and general activity at the site. The conditions of approval require improvements that address these potential impacts such as road improvements, landscaping, fencing, and traffic signal. Overall the additional traffic signal and other improvements will mitigate the impacts so that the use will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the neighborhood.

2. The proposed use will not be injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the city.

As described under Finding 1 above, the proposed project would not result in any detrimental effects upon the health, safety, and general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhood because the site has adequate distance separated by a public road from residences and traffic will be improved by the proposed improvements. For the same reasons described under Finding 1, the proposed project would not be injurious or detrimental to the general welfare of the City.

3. The proposed use is consistent with the goals and policies established by the General Plan and the Redding Zoning Ordinance. The site is currently zoned “ SC” Shopping Center with a General Plan classification of Shopping Center ( SC). This current designation does not allow for convenience gas marts. The project requires a general plan amendment and rezoning to Heavy Commercial to allow for the development of a mini storage facility on the eastern portion of this site. With the approval of the general plan amendment and rezoning applications, the construction of the proposed shopping center and mini storage would be permissible. The project is consistent with General Plan goals and policies that call for complete streets ( Goal T3), economic vitality (CDD13), and increased retail opportunities in appropriate locations ( CDD13A, B, D).

4. The proposed use and project design are consistent with the design guidelines established by resolution of the City Council in accordance with Redding Zoning Ordinance Section

18.40.050, Design Criteria. The proposal is subject to the adopted design criteria for commercial development referenced in the Redding Zoning Ordinance. In accordance with the design criteria, the architectural design of the proposal incorporates the use of various building materials and forms and design techniques that provide interest and avoid long, blank walls along the street front.

PARCEL MAP FINDINGS

1. The proposed division of the property is consistent with the General Plan designations of Shopping Center " SC" and Heavy Commercial “ HC.” The proposed parcels have Packet Pg. 339 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for sufficient acreage, configuration, and access to public streets to satisfy General Plan, Zoning requirements, and Planning Commission Resolution 2001-03.

2. The design of the proposed division is consistent with the General Plan and zoning in terms of lot size and accessibility. All proposed parcels have sufficient size, configuration, and access to satisfy the standard " SC" Shopping Center/Heavy Commercial “ HC” District zoning criteria applicable to the site and can support future commercial uses promoted under the General Plan.

3. The site is physically suitable for the development proposed. The parcel map would create lots that have suitable area to support the future commercial development consistent with the Holiday Marketplace as proposed under Use Permit Application UP2020- 01669.

4. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density. The proposed parcel map involves land designated for only commercial uses proposed by Use Permit Application UP-2020- 01669.

5. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not cause environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The project parcels were evaluated as part of the use permit process in which mitigations were proposed under Use Permit ApplicationUP-2020-01669.

6. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not cause serious public health problems. Adequate measures have been applied with the conditions of approval to address potential concerns related to public health, including, but not limited to, provisions for water for domestic use and fire protection, extension of sanitary sewer facilities to ensure proper management of wastewater, installation of necessary storm drainage, construction of proper public streets and sidewalk, and provision for proper and orderly timing for construction of necessary improvements.

7. The design of the proposed division and improvements will not conflict with easements for access through, or use of property within, the proposed division. The parcel map, with application of the conditions of approval, will not conflict with any existing public easements of record.

ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS

1. Based on the Initial Study and the information contained in the record, there will be no significant effect on the environment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate for the project.

2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration and its supporting documentation fully reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Redding.

Date: Friday, May 14, 2021 11: 07: 49 AM
CAUTION: This email originated from outside the City of Redding; please be careful with links or attachments.

I own the home at, 2980 Shasta View Dr. My concerns are very real. It seems the homeowners on the Westside of Shasta View Drive are being left out of all Enviormental documents that I have read! I’m not only speaking of homes on S.V. Please take into consideration of all the single family homes and apartments on the West that have been patronizing the Holiday Market for years. Their welfare is a serious matter, Why? Because of mother’ s pushing children in buggies, disabled people in wheel chairs and others must travel in the street in the right tuning lane on S.

View to reach the existing Holiday Market. Why? Because there is “NO” sidewalk on the west side. It is only a matter of time until someone is injured or killed. This is not the first time I have requested a sidewalk at the Planning Dept. Customers walk in street to avoid grass, mud, a fence and tree on public land where a sidewalk is needed so the street is used. It is my understanding a sidewalk is going in on the east side, again this is not a safe option either, because cars that try to turn left onto side streets get rear ended. A crosswalk dose not seem as safe as a signal. My home on the corner of S. View has had cars making a right coming from East (where New Holiday is proposed) they end up in my front yard tearing the fence down and it has been replaced twice. I also spent close to 1000 placing huge boulders in front to hopefully protect my Grandaughter and Great Grandchildren. I sold a potion of my corner to allow the signal install at the NW corner. So Where is the sidewalk to go with to it? If you need videos we have a camera be glad to share, have seen a lot. Another example is the car traveling in the right turning lane off Hartnell to S.View he ran into the sign that placed just passed the industrial driveway. Please someone truly need to take responsibility now. Do not wait to take responsibility after the inevitable happens! Remember all of us we will be your customers, plead “ Help US BE SAFE”. The City needs to really should look at the NW corner it is a trash collector, wild trees, Ifound a bag of meth, a lot of garbage etc.. my market value has declined, more noise, pollutants and traffic will continue to effect it. I bought when there was only a stop sign, etc.

Getting out of the driveway takes time, patience and is scary. Accidents happen and now we expect more! Sincerely, Betty Yuill and Gomez 05/14/21

RE: Hartnell Commercial Complex proposal by Summit Development, Permit No. UP-2020- 01669, PM-2021-00290, GPA-2020-01667, and RZ-2020-01668 Submitted via email: ltoy@cityofredding. org
Dear Ms. Toy:

The California Oaks program of California Wildlife Foundation (CWF/CO) works to conserve oak ecosystems because of their critical role in sequestering carbon, maintaining healthy watersheds, providing wildlife habitat, and sustaining cultural values. Shasta Environmental Alliance, a member of California Oaks Coalition, reached out to CWF/CO with concerns about the proposed Hartnell Commercial Complex project impacts on the oak trees on the site.

CWF/CO reviewed the Recirculated Mitigated Negative Declaration, Biological Review, Environmental Initial Study, and Oak Resource Report. It is concerning that the project does not include the retention of any of the native trees, including 10 blue oaks that are 20-inches or greater at breast height, that the plan for revegetation of the site does not specify that it will include native oaks, that the environmental analysis does not consider the Greenhouse Gas GHG) impacts of the proposed tree removals, and that the mitigation does not include conservation of oak woodlands.

ALIGNMENT OF PROJECT WITH SHASTA COUNTY OAK GUIDELINES AND CITY OF REDDING

GENERAL PLAN
Shasta County’ s Oak Woodland Management Guidelines recommend that when planning a building site that oaks are maintained for habitat and landscape values. Further, the City of Redding’ s General Plan includes the following Natural Resource (NR) goals:
7: Recognize the aesthetic and biological values of oak woodlands and other natural vegetation.
8: Recognize and protect habitat linkages and migratory corridors . 9: Promote and facilitate habitat preservation, restoration and enhancement.

The Biological Review cited these, as well as other natural resource goals from the General Plan, yet these goals were not properly addressed in the Initial Study. The Initial Study simply references a section of the General Plan EIR that development can somet imes conflict with tree protection goals and then states:

But efforts must still be made to retain existing trees if reasonably possible, and to sufficiently plant new trees in the context of the new development. A tree survey Packet Pg. 411 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for 2 is required to identify natural trees and tree groups most suitable for preservation or "candidate trees/groups." Where all identified candidate trees/groups cannot be preserved, the set-aside of a natural area or areas within a project site that is particularly suitable for the planting, retention, and/ or natural regeneration of trees is considered to be a desirable means of accomplishing the goals of the ordinance.

The removal of all of the trees—including 285 candidate trees— on the site combined minimal mitigation that does not specify oak tree replacement runs counter to the aforementioned General Plan goals and Shasta County’ s Oak Woodland Management Guidelines.

HABITAT AND CLIMATE IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The Biological Review characterizes the site as isolated from other habitat:

Wildlife corridors and migratory routes: With housing subdivisions and retail stores on all four sides, the project site is an island of vegetation within a developed landscape. The Shasta Meadows subdivision lies to the north, the Sunset Oaks subdivision is to the east, the Forest Homes subdivision is to the south and the Cockerill Acres subdivision is to the west. In addition, Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive, both busy arterial roads, are found along the north and west sides. These developments limit access to and through the parcel by terrestrial wildlife species. During site visits WRM personnel noted several bird species moving through the area as well as bats foraging over the site. These movements may be classified as “ opportunistic” rather than evidencing a travel corridor or migratory movement, of which there is no evidence.

The vegetation island characterization is contradicted by the Biological Review’ s Figure 2, Soils of the Project Area, which shows oak habitat continues to the east and the south of the project, with isolated oaks also to the southwest of the project site. Much of the adjacent development to the south and east appears to be more aligned with the Redding General Plan Natural Resource goals of retaining some natural habitat. The use of the project parcel by birds and bats, which the Biological Review characterizes as “ opportunistic” will be impossible if the native trees on the site are removed and replaced with non-native trees.

Another deficiency of the environmental review is that California law requires the GHG impacts of proposed oak removals to be assessed and mitigated. Net present value of GHG emissions forms the foundation of the state’ s greenhouse reduction objectives, as well as the California Forest Protocol preservation standards. Every ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere by oak woodland or forest conversion represents a measurable potential adverse environmental effect.

MITIGATION
The Initial Study indicates blue oak and interior live oak woodland covers approximately 31.4 percent of the parcel, with small and medium stature oaks on another portion of the site.

CWF/CO was puzzled by the discussion in the Initial Study calling for mitigation replanting at a rate of 1:1, which would result a minimum of 194 trees planted. Given that 285 trees are being removed, it is unclear why the figure is not 285, as the 92 impacted interior live oaks of diameter of 6-inches or greater also provide habitat and carbon sequestration value. Further, Public Resources Code §21083.4 requires mitigation for trees of 5-inches or more in diameter at breast height above natural grade level, rather than 6-inches . The plan should not move forward without a majority of the oaks of greater than 5-inch diameter at breast height being retained, without a revegetation plan for the site that requires the reestablishment of oaks for landscaping, and Packet Pg. 412 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for 3 without a plan for oak habitat that is conserved in perpetuity to partially mitigate project impacts on Redding’ s native tree canopy.

Permit No. UP-2020- 01669, PM-2021- 00290, GPA- 2020- 01667, and RZ-2020- 01668 SUBJECT Hartnell Commercial Complex by Summit Development PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project consists of a use permit, parcel map, General Plan amendment, and rezoning for the development of a shopping center and self-storage facility on

12.13 acres of land located at the southeast corner of Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The shopping center consists of a 30,000-square- foot Holiday Market Grocery Store, and five outer pads for retail, a drive-through restaurant, a coffee drive-through, and an automobile fueling station with a convenience store. The project also includes the request to allow a self- storage facility on

2.8 acres of land. A parcel map related to the project will delineate each of the retail spaces and the proposed mini-storage warehouse facility on their respective parcel, taking the total parcels from five to seven. The rezone is a request to change the current zoned “ SC” Shopping Center on the proposed 2.8-acre self- storage facility parcel to “ HC” Heavy Commercial. The general plan amendment request reflects the rezone request to amend the existing general plan designation of Shopping Center” to “ Heavy Commercial.”
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The project site encompasses five parcels of approximately

12.13 acres. The property is currently vacant and is populated with blue and Interior live oak trees, annual grasses with scattered shrubs. Commercial uses are located to the north and west. To the south the project is bordered by single and multiple family uses. West of the project is a mix of commercial and multiple family. The project site slopes gently from north to south. An intermittent stream flows in a southwest direction beginning approximately at the midpoint of the property on Hartnell Avenue exiting the property at the southwest corner of the property. An emergent wetland exists along the intermittent stream just west of the center of the project site. An ephemeral swale parallels Shasta View Drive along Appian Way which joins with the intermittent stream at the southwest quadrant of the project site. A small isolated pond also exists within the southwest quadrant of the project site.

FINDINGS AND DETERMINATION The City of Redding conducted an Initial Study attached), which determined that the proposed project could have significant environmental effects. Subsequent revisions in the project proposal create the specific mitigation measures identified below. The project, as revised and as agreed to by the applicant, avoids or mitigates the potentially significant environmental effects identified, and the preparation of an environmental impact report will not be required. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the City, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. If there are substantial changes that alter the character or impacts of the proposed project, another environmental impact determination will be necessary.

Packet Pg. 414 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for UP-2020- 01669, GPA-2020-01667, RZ-2020-01669, PM-2021-00290 Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 2
The project includes measures to mitigate potentially significant impacts to transportation in the area.

Prior to approval of the project, the lead agency may conclude, at a public hearing, that certain mitigation measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration are infeasible or undesirable.

In accordance with CEQA Section 15074. 1, the lead agency may delete those mitigation measures and substitute other measures which it determines are equivalent or more effective. The lead agency would adopt written findings that the new measure is equivalent or more effective in mitigating or avoiding potential significant effects and that it, in itself, would not cause any potentially significant effect on the environment.

1. Based on the whole record ( including the Initial Study and any supporting documentation) and the mitigation measures incorporated into the project, the City of Redding has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is appropriate. All potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less than significant.

2. The Mitigated Negative Declaration, with its supporting documentation, fully incorporated herein, reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the lead agency, which is the City of Redding.

DOCUMENTATION
The attached Initial Study documents the reasons to support the above determination.

MITIGATION MEASURES
MM-1. Prior to issuance of a grading permit affecting any jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, as identified in the project wetland delineation, the project applicant shall provide written verification to the City of Redding Development Services Department that the following resource agency permits and mitigation requirements have been successfully secured from the Corps, CDFW, RWQCB, or any other applicable agency ( i.e., USFWS) identified through the permitting process:*
a. Prior to any discharge of dredged or fill material into “ waters of the U.S.”, including wetlands, authorization under a Nationwide Permit or Individual Permit shall be obtained from the Corps. For any features determined to not be subject to the Corps jurisdiction during the verification process, authorization to discharge ( or a waiver from regulation) shall be obtained from the RWQCB. For fill requiring a Corps permit, water quality certification shall be obtained from the RWQCB prior to discharge of dredged or fill material. Verification shall be provided to the City of Redding Development Services Department prior to issuance the issuance of a grading permit. b. Prior to any activities that would obstruct the flow of, or alter the bed, channel, or bank of any intermittent or ephemeral creeks, notification of streambed alteration shall be submitted to the CDFW; and, if required, a 1602 streambed alteration agreement shall be obtained by the project applicant. Verification shall be provided to the City of Redding Development Services Department prior to the issuance of a grading permit. c. The project applicant shall achieve the mitigation for the permanent loss of streams, wetlands, and other waters through the purchase of mitigation credits at an agencyPacket Pg. 415 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for UP-2020- 01669, GPA-2020-01667, RZ-2020-01669, PM-2021-00290 Mitigated Negative Declaration Page 3
approved mitigation bank at a minimum 1:1 ratio, or through onsite/ offsite habitat restoration at a minimum 3:1 ratio. If onsite/ offsite habitat restoration is proposed a detailed mitigation plan, including success criteria, monitoring, maintenance, and reporting as required by the regulatory agencies ( i.e., Corps, CDFW, RWQCB) shall be submitted for review and approval. The affected regulatory agency shall identify when measures shall be implemented and completed for those activities impacting streams, wetlands, or other waters. All measures contained in the permits or associated with any agency approvals shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the lead regulatory agency.

MM-2. If vegetation removal or construction activities will occur during the nesting season for birds or raptors ( February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey 7 days before construction activities begin. If nesting birds or raptors are found, CDFW will be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer, as determined by CDFW and the qualified biologist, will be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MM-3. To the extent practicable, removal of large trees with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form ( i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant ( i.e., after August 31). If construction ( including the removal of large trees 12 inch dbh ) occurs during the bat non-volant season ( March 1 through August 31), a qualified professional shall conduct a preconstruction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies and identify measures to protect colonies from disturbance. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified professional, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities.

6. General Plan Designation: Shopping Center

7. Zoning: “ SC” Shopping Center

8. Description of Project: The project consists of a use permit, parcel map, General Plan amendment, and rezoning for the development of a shopping center and self-storage facility on 12.13 acres of land located at the southeast corner of Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The shopping center consists of a 30,000-square- foot Holiday Market Grocery Store, and five outer pads for retail, adrive-through restaurant, acoffee drive-through, and an automobile fueling station with aconvenience store. The project also includes the request to allow a self-storage facility on 2.8 acres of land. A parcel map related to the project will delineate each of the retail spaces and the proposed mini-storage warehouse facility on their respective parcel, taking the total parcels from five to seven. The rezone is a request to change the current zoned “SC” Shopping Center on the proposed 2.8-acre self-storage facility parcel to “HC” Heavy Commercial. The general plan amendment request reflects the rezone request to amend the existing general plan designation of “Shopping Center” to “Heavy Commercial.”

9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: The project site encompasses five parcels of approximately 12.13 acres. The property is currently vacant and is populated with blue and Interior live oak trees, annual grasses with scattered shrubs. Commercial uses are located to the north and west. To the south the project is bordered by single and multiple family uses. West of the project is a mix of commercial and multiple family. The project site slopes gently from north to south. An intermittent stream flows in a southwest direction beginning approximately at the midpoint of the property on Hartnell Avenue exiting the property at the southwest corner of the property. An emergent wetland exists along the intermittent stream just west of the center of the project site. An ephemeral swale parallels Shasta View Drive along Appian Way which joins with the intermittent stream at the southwest quadrant of the project site. A small isolated pond also exists within the southwest quadrant of the project site.

11. Have California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project area requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080. 3.1? If so, is there a plan for consultation that includes, for example, the determination of significance of impacts to tribal cultural resources, procedures regarding confidentiality, etc.? Consultation letters were sent to the Redding Rancheria and the Wintu Tribe of Northern California on March 25, 2021, to invite their participation in the project development process. On April 22, 2020, Governor Newsom signed Executive Order N-54-20 that suspends the mandated timeline for tribal consultation for a period of 60 days. As of April 22, 2021, no request for consultation was received.

Note: Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. ( See Public Resources Code section 21080. 3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission’ s Sacred Lands File per Public Resources Code section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservation. Please also note that Public Resources Code section 21082. 3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

Mandatory Findings of Significance
The environmental analysis in this section is patterned after the Initial Study Checklist recommended by the State CEQA Guidelines and used by the City of Redding in its environmental review process. For the preliminary environmental assessment undertaken as part of this Initial Study's preparation, a determination that there is a potential for significant effects indicates the need to more fully analyze the development’ s impacts and to identify mitigation.

For the evaluation of potential impacts, the questions in the Initial Study Checklist are stated and an answer is provided according to the analysis undertaken as part of the Initial Study. The analysis considers the long-term, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the development. To each question, there are four possible responses:

No Impact. The development will not have any measurable environmental impact on the environment.

Less Than Significant Impact. The development will have the potential for impacting the environment, although this impact will be below established thresholds that are considered to be significant.

Potentially Significant Impact Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The development will have the potential to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the environment, although mitigation measures or changes to the development’ s physical or operational characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than significant.

Potentially Significant Impact. The development will have impacts which are considered significant, and additional analysis is required to identify mitigation measures that could reduce these impacts to less than significant levels.

Where potential impacts are anticipated to be significant, mitigation measures will be required, so that impacts may be avoided or reduced to insignificant levels.

SUMMARY OF MITIGATION MEASURES:

MM-1. Prior toissuance of a grading permit affecting any jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, as identified inthe project wetland delineation, the project applicant shall provide written verification to the City of Redding Development Services Department that the following resource agency permits and mitigation requirements have been successfully secured from the Corps, CDFW, RWQCB, or any other applicable agency ( i.e., USFWS) identified through the permitting process:* a. Prior to any discharge of dredged or fill material into “waters of the U.S.”, including wetlands, authorization under a Nationwide Permit or Individual Permit shall be obtained from the Corps. For any features determined to not be subject to the Corps jurisdiction during the verification process, authorization to discharge ( or a waiver from regulation) shall be obtained from the RWQCB. For fill requiring a Corps permit, water quality certification shall be obtained from the RWQCB prior to discharge of dredged or fill material. Verification shall be provided to the City of Redding Development Services Department prior to issuance the issuance of a grading permit. b. Prior to any activities that would obstruct the flow of, or alter the bed, channel, or bank of any intermittent or ephemeral creeks, notification of streambed alteration shall be submitted to the CDFW; and, if required, a 1602 streambed alteration agreement shall be obtained by the project applicant. Verification shall be provided to the City of Redding Development Services Department prior to the issuance of a grading permit. c. The project applicant shall achieve the mitigation for the permanent loss of streams, wetlands, and other waters through the purchase of mitigation credits at an agency- approved mitigation bank at a minimum 1:1ratio, or through onsite/ offsite habitat restoration at a minimum 3:1 ratio. If onsite/ offsite habitat restoration is proposed a detailed mitigation plan, including success criteria, monitoring, maintenance, and reporting as required by the regulatory agencies ( i.e., Corps, CDFW, RWQCB) shall be submitted for review and approval. The affected regulatory agency shall identify when measures shall be implemented and completed for those activities impacting streams, wetlands, or other waters. All measures contained in the permits or associated with any agency approvals shall be implemented to the satisfaction of the lead regulatory agency.

MM-2. If vegetation removal or construction activities will occur during the nesting season for birds or raptors (February 1 through August 31), a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction survey 7 days before construction activities begin.

If nesting birds or raptors are found, CDFW will be notified and consulted. An appropriate buffer, as determined by CDFW and the qualified biologist, will be placed around the nest until the young have fledged. If construction activities cease for a period greater than 7 days, additional preconstruction surveys will be required.

MM-3. To the extent practicable, removal of large trees with cavities, crevices, or snags shall occur before bat maternity colonies form (i.e., prior to March 1) or after young are volant (i.e., after August 31). If construction (including the removal of large trees 12 inch dbh ) occurs during the bat non-volant season (March 1 through August 31), a qualified professional shall conduct a pre-construction survey of the study area to locate maternity colonies and identify measures to protect colonies from disturbance. The preconstruction survey will be performed no more than 7 days prior to the implementation of construction activities. If a maternity colony is located within or adjacent to the study area, a disturbance free buffer shall be established by a qualified professional, in consultation with CDFW, to ensure the colony is protected from project activities.

x
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
x
Discussion:
a-c) The project site is located on land that is highly visible as viewed primarily along Hartnell Avenue and Shasta View Drive. The City’ s Planning Division has reviewed the site design and building elevations and has determined the proposed design is in conformance with the City’ s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Commercial Design Guidelines. The project would be consistent in height with buildings on the developed adjacent commercial properties. Therefore, the project does not represent a significant adverse visual impact. The project site is not located adjacent to a state-designated scenic highway.

The six commercial buildings are proposed to be architecturally compatible which includes a mixture of materials including, metal roofing material, stucco, stone veneer, lap siding, wood plank siding, board and batt, grove siding, and glazing. The buildings and associated facades will have varying heights, awnings, canopies, cornices, pitched roofs, trellises, and other decorative fixtures to provide articulation to the building elevations which, along with varying natural earth tone colors and patterns, provide variation in the appearance of the buildings.

Other project features include, but not limited to landscaping, hardscape features, solid waste enclosures, monument signs, building signage, and parking lot, driveway and walkway lighting. d) There would not be an adverse effect on day or nighttime views in the area. Shielding of lighting as required by City Ordinance will minimize any impact to a level of less than significant. The following standard condition will be applicable and therefore any potential impact will be less than significant.

Construction activities for the project will be limited to normal daytime hours (i.e., 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays from May 15 through September 15, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays from September 16 through May 14, and from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays in accordance with RMC Section 18.40.100). The proposed project would not require nighttime Packet Pg. 425 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

Standard Condition Regarding Lighting
In accordance with Chapter 18.40.090, Lighting, of the Redding Municipal Code, any new roof-mounted or freestanding exterior lighting shall be designed, located, directed, and shielded in such a manner so as to prevent objectionable light at, and glare across, the property lines. A lighting detail/ photometric study demonstrating how this requirement will be satisfied shall be submitted with the building permit application.

II. AGRICULTURE 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 Mode ( 1997) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including 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 bin Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board.

b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract? X
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 5110(g))?
X
d Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? X
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to nonagricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest land? x
Discussion:
a-e) The project site contains soils that consist of Red Bluff Loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes ( RbB), and Churn Gravelly Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes (CfA) and is not within an area identified by the California Department of Conservation’ s Important Farmland Series Mapping and Monitoring Program as meeting the criteria for Prime Farmland if irrigated. Red Bluff loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes, is representative of the Redding series, in which permeability is very slow. Runoff is slow to medium, and the hazard of erosion is slight to moderate. Churn Gravelly Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes, is moderately well drained.

Permeability and runoff are slow. The hazard of erosion is none to slight. These soil classifications do not represent prime suitability for agricultural use; therefore, development of the property would not result in any impact to agricultural resources.

a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? X
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable Federal or State ambient air quality standard X c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X d) Result in other emissions ( such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? X
Discussion:
a-c) Shasta County, including the far northern Sacramento Valley, currently exceeds the state' s ambient standards for ozone (smog) and particulates ( fine, airborne particles). Consequently, these pollutants are the focus of local air quality policy, especially when related to land use and transportation planning. Even with application of measures to reduce emissions for individual projects, cumulative impacts are unavoidable when ozone and/ or particulate emissions are involved. For example, the primary source of emissions contributing to ozone is from vehicles. Any project that generates vehicle trips has the potential of contributing incrementally to the problem. The Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan acknowledged this dilemma; and as a result, Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations were adopted by the City Council for impacts to air quality resulting from growth supported under the General Plan.

The City Air Quality Element of the General Plan establishes emission- reduction goals of 20 to 25 percent, depending on the projected level of unmitigated emissions for a project. Mitigation thresholds are established for the important regional/ local pollutants, including: Reactive Organic Gases ( ROG) and Oxides of Nitrogen ( NOx), which are ozone precursors, and Inhalable Particulate Matter, 10 Micron (PM10). The mitigation thresholds for these pollutants are tiered at two levels as follows:

Level " A" Level " B"
25 pounds per day of NOx 137 pounds per day of NOx
25 pounds per day of ROG 137 pounds per day of ROG
80 pounds per day of PM10 137 pounds per day of PM10
If a project has unmitigated emissions less than the Level " A" threshold, then itis viewed as a minor project (from an air quality perspective) and only application of Standard Mitigation Measures ( SMMs) is required to try to achieve at least a 20 percent reduction in emissions, or the best reduction feasible otherwise. Land uses that generate unmitigated emissions above Level " A" require application of appropriate Best Available Mitigation Measures ( BAMMs), in addition to the SMMs, in order to achieve a net emission reduction of 20 percent or more. If, after applying SMMs and BAMMs, a use still exceeds the Level " B" threshold, then a minimum of 25 percent of the unmitigated emissions exceeding 137 pounds per day must be offset by reducing emissions Packet Pg. 427 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

Under policy of the Air Quality Element, a project has the potential to impact air quality primarily in two ways: ( 1) the project would generate vehicle trip emissions ( with NOx, ROG, and PM10) that contribute cumulatively to local and regional air quality conditions; and (2) fugitive dust (particulate/ PM10) emissions are possible during construction activities. As a shopping center and self-storage facility serving and underserved area of the city where many residents travel much farther for these services, the project does not have the potential to generate significant emission concentrations of other pollutants subject to state and federal ambient air quality standards.

Application of Standard Mitigation Measures ( SMMs) is required in order to strive toward the General Plan policy of a 20 percent reduction in emissions to address small-scale cumulative effects. SMMs applicable to this project address primarily short-term impacts related to construction and are standard development regulations promulgated in the City Grading Ordinance and California Building Code identified below. Application of the SMMs and the application of Best Available Mitigation Measures for NOx emissions as outlined below would reduce the project’ s potential air quality impacts to a level less than significant.

1. Nontoxic soil stabilizers shall be applied according to manufacturer’ s specification to all inactive construction areas previously graded areas inactive for ten days or more).

Discussion:
a) A Biological Review Report was prepared for the project by Wildland Resource Managers ( WRM), dated May 2020, to assess the impacts of the proposed project on biological resources in the project area and vicinity. In addition to research, database review, and species list reviews, a habitat assessment and biological reconnaissance survey was conducted. Upon numerous inspections of the project area few wildlife species were observed and no listed species of flora or fauna were found. Several bird species were observed moving through the area as well as bats foraging over the site. These movements were classified as “opportunistic” rather than evidencing a travel corridor or migratory movement, of which there is no evidence. On February 26, 2020 and April 8, 2020, a spade-foot toad survey was conducted paying particular attention to the intermittent and ephemeral stream areas. No toads were seen or heard. Although the intermittent stream that flows through the project area has connectivity to the Sacramento River downstream, fish passage during normal flows is restricted by barriers. b) According to the California Natural Diversity Database ( CNDDB), 11 sensitive habitats, either on the Federal or State status, occur within CNDDB Enterprise Quadrant in which the project site is located: foothill yellow-legged frog, bald eagle, bank swallow, tricolored blackbird, vernal pool fairy shrimp, green sturgeon, steelhead, chinook salmon- Central Valley spring-run and - Sacramento River winter-run, gray wolf, slender Orcutt grass. Based on the Biological Review Report, discussed above, no riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulation, or by CDFW or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service were observed on the project site.
c) A Wetlands Delineation was prepared for the project by WRM in November 2019 and revised in May 2020. The field study efforts mapped 4 features in the proposed project site, including wetlands and other waters: emergent wetland, ephemeral swale, intermittent stream and a pond. There is an intermittent stream that flows through the center of the project site from north to south. The stream only carries water during the wet season from a culvert under Hartnell Avenue south across the property to the southwest corner. After leaving the property the stream is channeled along the western side of Shasta View Drive south to Packet Pg. 429 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

UP- 2020-01669, PM-2021- 00290, RZ-2020- 01668, GPA- 2020- 01667 Hartnell Commercial Complex 12 Clover Creek Preserve. There is no true riparian habitat present. An ephemeral stream originates near the paved parking area in the northwest corner of the property and flows to north to south, intersecting the intermittent stream near the center of the property. This stream has a very shallow gradient with annual vegetation present within the stream channel. The emergent wetland is just to the east, and associated within, the intermittent stream near the center of the property. This wetland is moist during the winter months but dries out during the summer. The emergent pond holds water during the rainy season and quickly dries with the onset of warm weather. The delineation summarized that the combined total of jurisdictional wetland features on the proposed project site is 0.4013 acres. The project will impact all the wetland features found on the property. The intermittent stream will be placed within a 24-inch buried culvert and the ephemeral stream, emergent wetland and pond will be filled to the necessary project grade. In February 2020 the wetlands delineation report along with a Pre-construction notice, both prepared by WRM, were submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with a request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination and assistance with implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. However, a response from the Corps is still pending.

Implementation of MM-1 would reduce potential impacts to jurisdictional waters to less than significant. d) Although no active bird nests were observed on the proposed project site during the field inspections, birds could establish nests in vegetation on or adjacent to these areas in future nesting seasons. The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) requires that nesting migratory birds not be adversely affected by human activities. Nesting migratory birds would potentially be directly or indirectly impacted by construction activities associated with the proposed project. Direct impacts include mortality resulting from removal of vegetation contained an active nest with eggs or chicks. Indirect impacts include nest abandonment by adults in response to loud noise levels or human encroachment, or a reduction in the amount of food available to young birds due to changes in feeding behavior by adults. Most migratory birds anticipated to occur in the project area next between February 1 and August 31. Implementation of MM-2 would reduce potential impacts to nesting migratory birds to less than significant.

During the biological field inspection, it was observed that there is some bat roosting habitat on-site in the form of tree cavities and bark crevices as well as several snags. However, no bat activity was observed around these features. The non-riparian trees on the site offer lower habitat values for bats; however, even on the non-riparian trees itis possible that bats could roost in trunk cavities or under loose bark. Implementation of MM-3 would reduce potential impacts to roosting bats to less than significant. e) The City has adopted a Tree Management Ordinance ( Chapter 18.45 of the RMC) that promotes the conservation of mature, healthy trees in the design of new development. The ordinance also recognizes that the preservation of trees will sometimes conflict with necessary land-development requirements. The City’ s General Plan EIR further acknowledges that preservation of native trees will sometimes conflict with normal land development and that implementation of the General Plan will ultimately set aside over 7,000 acres of open space, much of which contains oak habitat. But efforts must still be made to retain existing trees if reasonably possible, and to sufficiently plant new trees in the context of the new development. A tree survey is required to identify natural trees and tree groups most suitable for preservation or " candidate trees/ groups." Where all identified candidate trees/ groups cannot be preserved, the set-aside of a natural area or areas within a project site that is particularly suitable for the planting, retention, and/ or natural regeneration of trees is considered to be a desirable means of accomplishing the goals of the ordinance.

A Tree Survey was prepared for the project by Wildland Resource Managers. The survey found two primary vegetation associations on the project site. Blueoak/ interior live oak woodlands were found along the eastern and southern edges of the property covering approximately 31.4 percent of the project site. The survey identified 193 blue oaks larger than 6-inch dbh and 92 interior live oak larger than 6-inch dbh. The Tree Survey Exhibit depicts the location of the group oftrees on the proposed site plan. Further, it identified that there are several small to medium- sized oak trees located in the southwest portion of the site, however, none would be considered candidate trees. It was further observed that some vegetation management has taken place in the past as there is evidence of oak harvesting resulting in root crown sprouting and an open appearance in the north central portion of the project area. The proposal does not incorporate the retention of any of the trees. The developer is obligated to replant suitable new trees at the time of construction for shade. The Tree Management Ordinance identifies minimum planting criteria of one tree per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area or covered space, hence based on the proposed 83,888 square feet of gross floor area, a minimum of 84 trees are required. Additionally, the street frontages are required street trees at a ratio of 1 tree for every 30 feet of street frontage, therefore with the project site consisting of approximately 2,100 feet of street frontage, a minimum of 70 trees are required along the street frontages. Therefore, the requirement to plant a minimum of 154 new trees as a standard condition of development. Additionally, to mitigate the loss of trees at the project site MM-4 requires replacement at a minimum of 1:1 ratio resulting in a minimum of 194 trees planted in association with the project. Hence, the project is Packet Pg. 430 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

No impact would occur in this regard.

a-c) An archaeological inventory survey, dated December 2019 was prepared by Sean Michael Jensen, M.A. Based upon archaeological reports, records searches, and information contained in the General Plan EIR pertinent to the vicinity of the subject property, it has been determined that the project site is not in an area of archaeological or cultural sensitivity. While the project is not anticipated to affect cultural resources, a condition of approval will require if, during the course of development, any archaeological, historical, or paleontological resources are uncovered or otherwise detected or observed, construction activities in the area affected shall cease and the City shall be notified immediately. A qualified archaeological professional must then be retained by the developer to investigate the discovered cultural object to determine its significance.

If the cultural object is deemed potentially significant by the archaeologist, appropriate treatment and measures shall be followed in accordance with applicable laws, as reviewed and approved by the City, prior to the resumption of work in the affected area.

a) The project would not result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation. Direct energy use would involve the short-term use of energy for construction activities. Project construction would primarily consume diesel and gasoline through operation of construction equipment, material deliveries, and debris hauling. Construction is estimated to result in a short-term consumption of energy, representing a small demand on local and regional fuel supplies that would be easily accommodated and would be temporary. Long term use of electricity for operations such as lighting, heating, and cooling in the development is excepted to be less than significant.
b) The project will not conflict with any State or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency.

a, c, d) There are no Alquist-Priolo earthquake faults designated in the Redding area of Shasta County. There are no other documented earthquake faults in the immediate vicinity that pose a significant risk, and the site is located in an area designated in the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan as having a low ground- shaking potential. The project is not located on or near any documented landslide hazard areas, and there is no evidence of ground slippage or subsidence occurring naturally on the site. The type of soils and underlying geology is identified as having no potential for liquefaction.

No portion of the site falls within the 100-year floodplain of the Sacramento River or any creek. b) The project site contains two soil classifications types, Red Bluff Loam (RbA), and Churn Gravelly Loam (CfA). These classifications are characterized by slopes of 3-8% percent and slow to medium runoff with a hazard of erosion that is slight to moderate. The soil is well-drained and has moderately slow permeability. Proposed grading will consist of that necessary for improvements of property in preparation for paving, landscaping, and building construction.

The project is subject to certain erosion- control requirements mandated by existing City and State regulations. These requirements include:

City of Redding Grading Ordinance. This ordinance requires the application of “ Best Management Practices” ( BMPs) in accordance with the City Erosion and Sediment Control Standards Design Manual ( Redding Municipal Code Section

16.12.060, Subsections C, D, E). In practice, specific erosion- control measures are determined upon review of the final project improvement plans and are tailored to project-specific grading impacts.

California Regional Water Quality Board “ Construction Activity Storm Water Permit.” This permit somewhat overlaps the City’ s Grading Ordinance provision by applying state standards for erosion- control measures during construction of the project.

California Regional Water Quality Control Board “ Project Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan ( SWPPP).” This plan emphasizes stormwater best management practices and is required as part ofthe Construction Activity Storm Water Permit.

The objectives of the SWPPP are to identify the sources of sediment and other pollutants that affect the quality of stormwater discharges and todescribe and ensure the implementation of practices toreduce sediment and other pollutants in stormwater discharges.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife “ 1600 Agreement.” This notification is required for any work within a defined streambed.

U.S. Army corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit. A new Nationwide 29 Permit (residential developments) will be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to address impacts to jurisdictional waters.

Actions for compliance with these regulations are addressed under standard conditions of approval, which are uniformly applied to all land development projects. Since the project is subject to uniformly applied ordinances and policies and the overall risk of erosion is low, potential impacts related to soil erosion and sedimentation are less than significant. f) The proposed project does not involve the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal. No impact has been identified.
g) No unique geologic features, fossil-bearing strata, or paleontological sites are known to exist on the project site.

Discussion:
a) In 2005, the Governor of California signed Executive Oder S-3-05, establishing that it is the State of California’ s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels. Subsequently, in 2006, the California State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill AS 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act. In part, AB 32 requires the California Air Resources Board to develop and adopt regulations to achieve a reduction in the State’ s GHG emissions to year 1990 levels by year 2020.

California Senate Bill SB97 established that an individual project’ s effect on GHG emission levels and global warming must be assessed under CEQA. SB97 further directed that the State Office of Planning and Research ( OPR) develop guidelines for the assessment of a project’ s GHG emissions. Those guidelines for GHG emissions were subsequently included as amendments to the CEQA Guidelines. The guidelines did not establish thresholds of significance and there are currently no state, regional, county, or city guidelines or thresholds with which to direct project-level CEQA review. As a result, the City of Redding has utilized the best available information to develop a threshold until a specific quantitative threshold is adopted by the state or regional air district.

As the Lead Agency, the City has opted to utilize a quantitative non-zero project- specific threshold using a methodology recommended by the California Air Pollution Officers ( CAPCOA) and accepted by the California Air Resources Board. According to CAPCOA’ s Threshold 2.3, CARB Reporting Threshold, 10,000 metric tons of carbon- dioxide equivalents per year (mtCO2eq/ yr) is recommended as aquantitative non-zero threshold. According to the CAPCOA, this threshold would be equivalent to 550 dwelling units, 400,000 square feet of office use, 120,000 square feet of retail, or 70,000 square feet of supermarket use. This approach is estimated tocapture over half the future residential and commercial development projects and is designed to support the goals of AB 32 and not hinder it.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies four primary constituents that are most representative of the GHG emissions. They are:

Carbon Dioxide ( CO2): Emitted primarily through the burning of fossil fuels. Other sources include the burning of solid waste and wood and/ or wood products and cement manufacturing.

Methane ( CH4): Emissions occur during the production and transport of fuels, such as coal and natural gas. Additional emissions are generated by livestock and agricultural land uses, as well as the decomposition of solid waste.

Nitrous Oxide ( N2O): The principal emitters include agricultural and industrial land uses and fossil fuel and waste combustion.

Fluorinated Gases: These can be emitted during some industrial activities. Also, many of these gases are substitutes for ozone-depleting substances, such as CFC’ s, which have been used historically as refrigerants. Collectively, these gases are often referred to as “ high global-warming potential” gases.

The primary generators of GHG emissions in the United States are electricity generation and transportation. The EPA estimates that nearly 85 percent of the nation’ s GHG emissions are comprised of carbon dioxide (CO2). The majority of CO2is generated by petroleum Packet Pg. 435 Attachment: 72021-Use Permit - Shasta View Dr Improvements (large file) (4.11(b)--Transportation Infrastructure Agmt & Budget Reso for City of Redding

The remaining emissions are predominately the result of natural- gas consumption associated with a variety of uses.

With regard to the project, the predominant associated GHG is CO2 generated by motor-vehicle travel to and from the site. To a substantially lesser degree, the project will result in CH4 emissions associated with use of electric power generated by the Redding Electric Utility (REU), though it should be noted that REU distributes power from a variety of sources, including hydroelectric, wind, and natural gas.

Given the scope and nature of the proposed project compared to that of similar projects, emissions from the project would be significantly below the thresholds put forth by CARB, as well as the City’ s air-quality thresholds. Therefore, the project would not contribute significantly to GHG emissions in the air basin. Additionally, the City and State’ s construction standards and BMPs, including Air Quality SSM 1 through 9 (listed in Section III, Air Quality, above), will be used during construction to further limit any potential contribution to negative impacts from GHG emissions. The project’ s direct or indirect impact on measurable GHGs in the Redding area would be less than significant.

UP- 2020-01669, PM-2021- 00290, RZ-2020- 01668, GPA- 2020- 01667 Hartnell Commercial Complex 20 established by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board ( RWQCB) in its Basin Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins. Water pollution best management practices are required and will be incorporated into the improvement plans for the project. The City’ s construction standards require that all projects prepare an erosion and sediment control plan (ESCP) prior to construction to address water pollution control. The ESCP will ensure that water quality standards are not substantially affected by the project during construction. b) The project would utilize City water service for domestic uses and fire protection. The proposed project would not impact groundwater supplies.
c) Stormwater runoff from the site flows from north to south by way of an intermittent stream. The stream carries water from a culvert under Hartnell Avenue south across the property to the southwest corner. An ephemeral stream flows from the northwest to the center of the site where itjoins the aforementioned intermittent stream. The project will be required to install storm drain pipe connecting the culvert under Hartnell Avenue to the storm drain system running along the western side of Shasta View Drive, but would not alter the pattern or result in substantial erosion, surface runoff, flooding on- or off- site, or otherwise substantially degrade water quality with construction.

The project is subject to standard requirements defined under Section VII., Geology and Soils, and mitigation measures ( if any) under Section IV., Biological Resources, above that minimize the potential for erosion or siltation on- or off-site. The final improvement plans for the project must also incorporate specific design measures intended to limit pollutant discharges in stormwater from urban improvements as established under the State’ s National Pollutant Elimination System ( NPDES) general permit, which the City is now obligated to follow in accordance with State Water Quality Control Order No. 2003-0005-DWQ.

Feasible Best Management Practices ( BMPs) would be incorporated in the final design of the project’ s storm-drain system, as approved by the City Engineer, based on the BMPs listed in the latest edition of the California Storm Water Quality Association Storm Water Best Management Practices Handbook.

City of Redding Policy 1806 requires that all subdivision development include stormwater detention facilities designed to maintain existing predevelopment rates of runoff during a 10-, 25-, and 100-year storm event with a 6-hour duration. The project application includes a stormwater hydrology analysis prepared by Wildland Resource Managers and dated May 2020 that concludes that impacts from stormwater drainage and runoff would be less than significant. d) The property is not located within any agency or otherwise- documented flood-hazard boundary, tsunami, or seiche zones. The threat of a tsunami wave is not applicable to inland, central valley communities such as Redding. Seiches could potentially be generated in either Shasta or Whiskeytown Lakes during an earthquake. However, neither lake has been identified in the Health and Safety Element of the General Plan as having any risk to the City under such circumstances. There is no documented threat of mudflows affecting the project site.
e) The project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan.

x
Discussion:
a) The project does not have the potential to physically divide an established community. The project site is zoned “ SC” Shopping Center as are the properties to the north and west. The zoning transitions to multiple family and then single-family zoning to the south.
b) The project is approximately 12.13 acres in size. The project area is currently zoned for shopping center, “ SC” Zoning Designation, and has a General Plan designation of “Shopping Center.” A shopping center, therefore, is appropriate within the existing zoning district and General Plan designation. However, a self-storage facility is not a permitted land use with the existing zoning district nor General Plan designation. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a rezoning to “HC” Heavy Commercial and a general plan amendment to “Heavy Commercial.” The zoning transitions to multiple family to the east across Leonard Street and single family to the south, however, as a self-storage facility, very little traffic or noise is associated with these sues. The main office and gate for the facility is located along the Leonard Street frontage at the northwest corner of the facility. A detention basis and an emergency access easement is proposed along the south property line which will buffer the single family and multiple family districts from the proposed shopping center and self-storage facility. The project is compatible with the applicable policies and regulations of the City General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and is not in conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

b) Generation of excessive ground- borne vibration or groundborne noise levels? x c) For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?
x
Discussion:
a) During the construction of the proposed project, there will be a temporary increase in noise in the project vicinity above existing ambient noise levels. The most noticeable construction noise will be related to grading, utility excavation, and land-clearing activity. The City' s Grading Ordinance ( RMC Chapter 16.12.120.H) limits grading- permit-authorized activities to between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. No operations are allowed on Sunday. Since heavy construction work associated with the project is limited in scope and by existing regulation, the anticipated noise impact to neighboring residents is considered less than significant.
b) Due to the nature of the project as a shopping center and mini storage facility, it would not result in a permanent increase in ambient noise levels and would not result in generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or ground- borne noise levels. c) The proposed project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or airport, or within area of the Redding Municipal Airport or Benton airport land use plan.

elsewhere?
x
Discussion:
a, b) The project will improve the frontage of the project site. The nature of the project, as a shopping center and self-storage facility, would not induce unplanned population growth and does not propose the extension of an new roads or utilities not anticipated by the General Plan. The project does not displace substantial numbers of people. No impacts to population and housing will result from the project.

Discussion:

Fire and Police Protection:

The City would provide police and fire protection to the project from existing facilities and under existing service levels. The size of the project would not mandate the need for additional police or fire facilities.

The project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay a citywide fire facilitiesimpact fee calculated to mitigate a project’ s fair share of cumulative impacts to the City’ s fire-protection infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City’ s General Plan.

Schools:

The project is a commercial shopping center and mini storage facility and will have no impact to schools.

d) Result in inadequate emergency access? x
Discussion:
a - c) A traffic study for the area was prepared by GHD, dated March 1, 2021. The study assessed four scenarios; ( 1) existing conditions; ( 2) existing plus project conditions; ( 3) year 2040 no project conditions; and (4) year 2040 plus project conditions.

The study identified under the “ Existing Plus Project” scenario, the Shasta View Drive roadway segment is projected to operate at LOS F. Implementation of MM-5 which involves restriping of Shasta View Drive and construction of sidewalk along the east side of Shasta View Drive will reduce potential impacts to the Shasta View Drive roadway segment to less than significant.

Under the “Year 2040 Plus Project” scenario, the unsignalized intersection at Alta Mesa Drive and Hartnell Avenue is projected to operate at LOS E in the AM and LOS F in the PM peak hours. Implementation of MM-6 requiring the construction of a roundabout at this intersection will reduce potential impacts to the Alta Mesa Drive and Hartnell Avenue intersection to less than significant.

Therefore, incorporating the off-site improvements as mitigations, no impacts associated with traffic volumes are anticipated.

The project would not conflict with any program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system and the project will not conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064. 3(b). The project will be required to construct frontage improvements along Shasta View Drive, Hartnell Avenue, and Leonard Avenue, including sidewalk along Shasta View Drive and Hartnell Avenue. The project would not significantly increase any hazards due to design but would enhance the circulation system with completion of sidewalks along both streets.

The project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay a citywide transportation- development impact fee calculated to mitigate a project’ s fair share of cumulative impacts tothe City’s streetand traffic-control infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City’s General Plan.

With the proposed improvements, impacts totransportation would be considered less than significant, and likely will improve levels of service.
d) The Redding Fire Marshall has reviewed the project. The project includes entrances along Shasta View Drive and an emergency access/ exit from the facility to Maraglia Street which is adequate access for emergency access and fire protection.

d) Generate solid waste in excess of State or local standards, or infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals?
x
e) Comply with Federal, State, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? x Discussion:
a) Wastewater generated from the project would be that associated with the shopping center and manager’ s office discharged into the City sanitary sewer system. This type and intensity of land use activity does not generate wastewater demands that would exceed treatment requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The proposed development does not generate the need for the construction of new water or wastewater- treatment facilities.

The project is subject to Chapter 16.20 of the Redding Municipal Code, which requires new development to pay water and sewer impact fees calculated to mitigate aproject’ s fair share of cumulative impacts to the City’ s water and sewer distribution, collection, and treatment infrastructure based upon improvements necessary to accommodate new development under the City’ s General Plan.

Project-related stormwater- management improvements consist of construction of collection and conveyance systems in accordance with City construction standards and City Policy 1806 pertaining to stormwater detention ( also see IX, Hydrology and Water Quality, d and e).
b) Potable water is available from the City to serve all seven parcels of the project with adequate pressure and flows for fire suppression. The demands of the project can be accommodated within the City’ s existing water resources and the reasonably foreseeable future during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. c) All seven of the project parcels will utilize the City’ s sanitary sewer system to dispose of wastewater. Adequate sewer capacity is available in the City’ s existing system.
d, e) The City provides solid waste disposal service, which the project would utilize. Adequate capacity is available to serve the needs of the project without need of special accommodation.

a) The project site is not located within the Very High Fire Severity Zone and is not adjacent to areas with significant fuel loads. The project would not impair an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. b, c, d) Because the project site is relatively flat without any significant slope and vegetation, nor is it surrounded by any significant vegetated area or slopes, the project would not exacerbate wildfire risks or expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire, require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure that could exacerbate wildfire risks, or expose people or structures to downstream flooding or landslides. No impacts associated with wildfire are anticipated.

HARTNELL COMMERCIAL COMPLEX BY SUMMIT DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM CONTENTS
This document is the Mitigation Monitoring Program ( MMP) for the Hartnell Commercial Complex by Summit Development. The MMP includes a brief discussion of the legal basis for and the purpose of the program, discussion, and direction regarding complaints about noncompliance, a key to understanding the monitoring matrix, and the monitoring matrix itself.

LEGAL BASIS OF AND PURPOSE FOR THE MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM California Public Resources Code Section 21081. 6 requires public agencies to adopt mitigation monitoring or reporting programs whenever certifying an environmental impact report ( EIR) or a mitigated negative declaration. This requirement facilitates implementation of all mitigation measures adopted through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process.

The MMP contained herein is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA as they relate to the Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Hartnell Commercial Complex by Summit Development. It is intended to be used by City of Redding ( City) staff, participating agencies, project contractors, and mitigation monitoring personnel during implementation of the project.

Mitigation is defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15370 as a measure that does any of the following:

Avoids impacts altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action.

Minimizes impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation.

Rectifies impacts by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the impacted environment.

Reduces or eliminates impacts over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the project.

Compensates for impacts by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments.
