City Council/Successor Agency Meeting I. 6.

DATE: 10/04/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 8388 to extend the City of Redlands' “Mills Act” program for an additional five years to November 30,
2027 (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:

I move that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8388 to extend the City’s Mills Act program for an additional five years.

RECOMMENDATION:

On August 4, 2022, the Historic & Scenic Preservation Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council extend the Mills Act Program for an additional five years to November 30, 2027.

DISCUSSION:

A) Background
City of Redlands Mills Act Program: On November 20, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7225 establishing a Mills Act pilot program for five years (Resolution No. 7225). The City Council extended the program for an additional five years in October 2017 (Resolution No. 7796) and made further minor revisions to the program in April 2019 (Resolution No. 7947). The current program is set to expire on November 7, 2022. The City of Redlands is a Certified Local Government ("CLG") in cooperation with the State Office of Historic Preservation, and the local Mills Act program is an important element in the city's historic preservation program.

The Mills Act: The Mills Act was enacted by the State in 1972 and is intended to The Mills Act: The Mills Act was enacted by the State in 1972 and is intended to encourage preservation of historically significant properties by allowing a property owner to receive property tax relief in exchange for rehabilitating, preserving, and maintaining a historic property (rather than demolishing or significantly modifying the property). The Mills Act allows local governments to enter into binding contracts with owners of qualified historic properties. The City has determined that qualified historic property eligible for the program includes those locally designated as a historic resource or landmark, or are a contributing structure to a locally designated historic district, or have been designated as a County Landmark, State Landmark, State Point of Historical Interest, National Historic Landmark, or are listed on the California and/or National Register. The agreement provides a reduction of property taxes in exchange for the continued preservation of the property.

Mills Act contracts generally result in a reduction of property taxes of 20 to 60 percent for each assessed property for the standard ten year contract. The impact of the Mills Act on a property’s assessment can vary, depending on the date the property was purchased. For example, properties purchased before the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978 are unlikely to receive a reduction, as they are already determined to be at baseline threshold values under the State’s taxation and revenue code. More recently purchased properties would receive the greatest reductions.

One hundred percent (100%) of the money saved on taxes must be used in maintaining and restoring the property. The agreement runs for ten years and can renew annually each year thus extending the agreement term unless a notice of cancelation is filed by the owner. The property value and property taxes are recalculated by the County Tax Assessor. The loss of tax revenue is shared between applicable agencies that receive the taxes.

B) Eligibility and Program Guidelines
The Mills Act pilot program limits the annual number of contracts to seven (7) per calendar year. This will include a maximum of five (5) contracts for residential properties and a maximum of two (2) non-residential properties. The City Council amended the eligibility guidelines in 2017 and 2019, so there is no limit on the maximum assessed valuation of the property to apply for a Mills Act contract.

To be eligible for the program property owners must demonstrate the following:

A single family residence;
Located entirely within the City of Redlands;
Privately owned;
Not exempt from taxation; and,
Listed in any National, State, or city official register of historical or architecturally significant sites, places, or landmarks Applications may be filed throughout the calendar year. Approved contracts require that an annual report be filed by July 31 each year that summarizes the progress made on the contract’s Ten-year Work Plan and specifying any amendments requested to the contract.

Presently, the Development Services Department Director or designee reviews all applications and proposed contracts. If a contract is approved by the City Council, then the contract is recorded on the property by the San Bernardino County Recorder and a copy provided to the County Assessor’s Office. In addition, a written notice is provided to the State Office of Historic Preservation.

The County Assessor will then determine the new assessed value for the subject property according to a capitalization of income method for a ten-year term, whereby the property’s income is divided by a predetermined capitalization rate.

If a property is sold, the contract is transferred to subsequent owners for the contract duration, and all contract provisions remain. If a property owner (or subsequent owner) defaults on the conditions of a contract, the City can cancel the contract, and the owner could be subject to a cancelation fee equal to 12.5% of the full value of the property and payable to the state controller.

C) Current Mills Act Contracts
Since the program’s adoption, the City has entered into seven (7) Mills Act contracts with property owners of residential properties, including one in 2022.

The Planning Division has also recently received two inquiries about the Mills Act application process. A lack of community awareness of the benefits of the program may be contributing to the under-utilization of the program. Additionally, the program has varying levels of tax benefits (based on the date of purchase of the property) and may not provide a substantial benefit to incentivize interested property owners.

D) Program Status
Since establishing the Mills Act program in 2012 and subsequent extension in 2017, its popularity has been limited. However, it remains a valuable tool in the City’s historic preservation program and represents Redlands’ commitment to preserving and maintaining its historic and cultural resources.

In evaluating the program, staff has identified a need to increase awareness of the Mills Act program to boost the program’s popularity and utilization, by promoting the benefits it can provide for historic preservation. The Planning Division has created an entire webpage devoted to promoting and explaining the program (https://www.cityofredlands.org/post/mills-act-program). Additional items or tasks can be implemented to further promote the program, such as:

Create online PDF pamphlets for the website.

Hold informational community outreach meetings, when requested, to educate and promote the public on the benefits of the Mills Act program.

Raise awareness through local historic preservation events.

Provide recognition to successful historic preservation efforts which resulted from implementation of the Mills Act.

Promote eligibility for the Mills Act as a benefit of Historic Designation.

ALTERNATIVES:

If the City Council does not extend the Mills Act program before November 7, 2022, then the city's local program will expire and no new Mills Act contracts may be approved within the City of Redlands.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The proposal is consistent with Quality of Life, Strategic Objective No. 3, "Historic Preservation and Small Town Feel."

Fiscal Impact

Appropriation Required Y/N: No
Discussion:

The current filing fee is $480.00 for a Mills Act Contract Application and The current filing fee is $480.00 for a Mills Act Contract Application and reimburses staff time for processing the application. The local Mills Act program will result in an impact to the General Fund in the form of a loss to property tax revenues (i.e., property taxes not generated by the participating properties).

Typical savings to participating properties is several thousand dollars annually (however, 100% of the property tax reduction must be reinvested in the subject property within Redlands through the owner's maintenance and preservation work). Also, several hours of staff time is necessary to review the required annual reports for each contract as well as reviewing progress on the ten-year preservation plans for each property. Additional new Mills Act contracts in the future will impact future City revenues, and the cumulative loss may increase as more contracts are approved.

The requested funds will be used to add security measures to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in order to better secure the building that currently serves as the police department and dispatch center. The project is needed to protect the critical infrastructure and assets from a potential security breach. The project will include the installation of secure fencing and screening to ensure the public can not enter or see into the area, as well as the building of a proper kennel area for the department's bomb/arson K-9.

INTRODUCTION
The State Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is designed to secure and provide the nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism. The Homeland Security Grant Program is one tool among a comprehensive set of federal measures administered by Cal OES to help strengthen the state against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services is a subgrantee of the HSGP and oversees the administration of grant funds for San Bernardino’s Operational Area. All grant requirements are located in Federal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), FEMA’s Preparedness Grant Manual (located on FEMA’s website) and the California State Supplemental to the NOFO (located on the Cal OES website under Grant Management). Applicants should thoroughly read these manuals prior to submitting their applications.

GRANT PURPOSE
The purpose of the Fiscal Year 2021 Homeland Security Grant Program (FY21 HSGP) is to support comprehensive Homeland Security Grant Programs at the local level and to encourage the improvement of mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities for all terror-related hazards. Cal OES has accepted, approved, and awarded this grant and will continue providing support to the San Bernardino County Operational Area’s efforts to implement the objectives and strategies of the Homeland Security Grant Program. HSGP subrecipients are encouraged to consider projects that fall into National Priority Investment Justification areas to meet the County and State’s requirements for the National Priority 30% criteria. Information regarding National Priority Investment Justifications can be found in the FEMA Preparedness Grants Manual, the NOFO and the California State Supplemental to the NOFO. National Priority Investment Justifications are:
• Enhance Intelligence and Information Sharing and Cooperation with Federal Agencies, including DHS 5%
• Enhance the Protection of Soft Targets/Crowded Spaces, (including election security) 5%
• Enhance Cybersecurity (including election security) 7.5% • Address Emergent Threats 5%
• Combating Domestic Violent Extremism 7.5%

USE OF FUNDS
Funds provided under the HSGP must be used to support local Homeland Security Grant Program activities that contribute to the San Bernardino County Operational Area’s capability to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism.

ELIGIBLE JURISDICTIONS
The County and any City/Town or District in the Operational Area (OA) may apply upon the approval of the Approval Authority members.

GRANT CHANGES AND NEW REQUIREMENTS
The following key changes have been made to the FY21 HSGP:
• Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR): All HSGP Grant recipients are required to complete an annual cybersecurity self-assessment as described in IB 439 and submit certification that they completed it to the County OES Grants Unit. • Investment Justifications: Investment Justifications have changed to align with the National Priority investments.
• Modifications on National Priority Projects: The FY21 HSGP requires that a minimum of 30% of awarded funds must be allocated towards National Priority Investment Justifications for the County. Projects that have been identified as National Priority projects cannot be modified without FEMA approval. Therefore, scope of work modifications that change the investment justification category for National Priority projects are not permitted.

MODIFICATIONS
It is mandatory for all subrecipients to obtain preapproval from the Grants Administration Unit for any project modifications. The County (as the State’s subgrantee of the HSGP grant) is required to obtain preapproval from Cal OES for all project modifications, activity, and/or scope of work changes as described in the Cal OES State Supplement to the Federal NOFO. HSGP funds may only be expended for the intended purpose(s) for which they were requested and FY21 HSGP Subrecipient Application Workbook

Page 9 of 18 ends

approved. Therefore, grant funds cannot be expended for projects that are modified without prior approval. Additionally, modification requests require a written justification, which explains in detail why the project is being changed.

Please contact the Grants Administration Unit for the required modification form and narrative.

Modified projects completed prior to Cal OES approval will be denied.

PROCUREMENT GUIDELINES
All jurisdictions must follow the procurement policy that encompasses all federal, state, and local procurement policies and procedures for the purchase of goods and services in accordance with applicable federal rules under the 2 C.F.R. Part 200.317-200.326. Jurisdictions must ensure that all procurement transactions are conducted in a manner providing full and open competition.

San Bernardino County Procurement Policy requires the following:

1. All procurement over $1,000 requires a competitive process.

2. A Noncompetitive Procurement Justification for all sole source purchases over $1,000 with documented attempts for solicitation (Bid Summary Form) must be submitted to the Grants Unit and pre-approved prior to purchase.

Subrecipients who do not follow San Bernardino County’s procurement policy must submit their jurisdiction’s procurement policy to the Grant’s Unit to ensure that all grant purchasing requirements are followed.

WRITTEN QOTES/BIDS
San Bernardino County policy is that Subrecipients must document a minimum of three written price quotations/bids for purchases over $1,000. The award is made to the responsible firm whose proposal is most advantageous for the program with price and other factors to consider. Subrecipients should adhere to their own procurement policies if their policies are more restrictive than the County’s policy.

NONCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT
Procurement by noncompetitive proposals (sole source) may be used only when the award of the contract is not feasible under small purchase procedures, sealed bids, or competitive proposals, and one of the following circumstances applies:

1. The item is available only from one source;

2. After solicitation of at least three resources, competition is determined to be inadequate.

In concurrence with 2 CFR part 200.317 - 200.326, Cal OES requires the Operational Areas and its subrecipients encompass all federal, state, and local procurement policies for noncompetitive procurement. Failure to obtain preapproval for noncompetitive procurement may result in the denial of the grant expenditure.

In addition, if the city/town/county’s policy requires that noncompetitive procurement be approved by the City Council or Governing Board prior to procurement, then that procedure must be followed. The supporting documents must be provided with reimbursement claims.

COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Subrecipients will need to provide a cost benefit analysis with the Request for Noncompetitive Procurement Authorization Form. The analysis will provide to Cal OES the justification/feasibility based on the comparison of the total expected costs of each bid/quote against the total expected benefits, to examine whether the benefits outweigh FY21 HSGP Subrecipient Application Workbook

Page 10 of 18 ends

the costs. A Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) must be submitted with the noncompetitive procurement requests.

INFORMAL QUOTE INVENTATION FOR BID (IFB) AND REQUEST FOR

PROPOSAL (RFP)
Informal Quotes are for purchases of low value goods, supplies, equipment, and services. San Bernardino County’s threshold for informal quotes is $4,999, which may be solicited by less formal means such as email, fax, informal correspondence, or internet as well as electronic procurement systems. Should the subrecipient’s local policy be more restrictive, then the subrecipient must follow their own policy for informal quotes.

An IFB is used to solicit prices for goods, supplies, and equipment where the exact need is known based on definitive specifications. The IFB provides a clear and accurate description of the material or products to be procured. The description must not contain unreasonable features that restrict the competition. Jurisdictions must ensure that all procurement transactions are conducted in a manner providing full and open competition. Some situations considered to be restrictive of competition include, but are not limited to:
• Placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to qualify to do business;
• Requiring unnecessary experience and excessive bonding; • Noncompetitive pricing practices between firms or affiliated companies; • Organizational conflicts of interest;
• Specifying only “brand name” instead of allowing “an equal” product to be offered and describing the performance of other relevant requirements of the procurement; and
• Any arbitrary action in the procurement process.

Jurisdictions may not use statutorily or administratively imposed local geographical preference in the evaluation of bids or proposals. (See 2 C.F.R. 200.37-200.326).

A jurisdiction that uses a consulting firm to write the specifications for a contract bid/proposal cannot award the contract to the same consulting firm due to a conflict of interest.

FORMAL ADVERTISING AND REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP)
Procurement by Sealed Bids/Invitation for Bids require the subrecipient to formally advertise in a widely circulated publication; bids are solicited from an adequate number of qualified sources; and a firm-fixed price contract (lump sum or unit price) is awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid conforms with all material items and conditions of the bid and is the lowest price. See (2 C.F.R. 200.37-200.326 (d) (3) for additional guidance). Subrecipients must document a minimum of three responsible bids and proof of advertisement and solicitation efforts must be forwarded to the Grants Administration Unit with your reimbursement claim.

An RFP is used for the purchase of services where evaluation criteria may include qualification and experience, technical and functional specifications, cost, financial stability, and references. The RFP is sent to all registered vendors for the applicable product. The award is made to the vendor whose proposal is most advantageous.

Note: All training consultant/contractor purchases must be solicited through a competitive procurement process.

FY21 HSGP Subrecipient Application Workbook

Page 11 of 18 ends

In compliance with the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Act 31 U.S.C. § 1352 (as amended), contractors who bid on federal awards of $100,000 or more must sign and submit Certification Regarding Lobbying. Disclosure of such certification must be included in formal bid advertising and RFP language as well as the signed contract. Certification must be forwarded to the awarding agency and kept on file.

Failure to adhere to the above procurement processes may result in a delay in processing your request and possible denial of your reimbursement.

SUPPLANTING
Federal funds may not supplant, replace, or offset local funds. HSGP funds cannot be used to supplement the amount of funds that, in the absence of federal funds, would be made available for purposes consistent with the Homeland Security Grant Program. Per grant guidance, subrecipients may be required to supply documentation certifying that a reduction in non-federal resources occurred for reasons other than the receipt or expected receipt of federal funds.

EQUIPMENT
Funds for equipment must be used to enhance the capabilities of state and local emergency response agencies and all equipment must be identified by an Authorized Equipment List (AEL) number. The HSGP grant has 21 authorized equipment categories under the AEL and, as in previous years, the AEL is presented as follows:

PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLIES
Special rules apply to pharmaceutical purchases and medical counter measures. Prior to procuring pharmaceuticals, subrecipients must have in place an inventory management plan to avoid large periodic variations in supplies due to coinciding purchase and expiration dates. This will also include antibiotics and antidotes for nerve agents, cyanide, and other toxins. Purchase of pharmaceuticals must include a budget for the disposal of expired drugs within each fiscal year period of performance for HSGP. The plan must be submitted to the Grants Unit and preapproved by FEMA prior to incurring any cost. The cost of disposal cannot be carried over to another DHS/FEMA grant or grant period.

EHP’s
Any equipment that requires installation is subject to the Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) requirements. Outdoor training/exercise activities are also subject to the EHP requirements. Subrecipients must complete and submit the required EHP Screening Form to the Grants Administration Unit for approval of Cal OES and FEMA. It is mandatory that all EHP forms be approved by FEMA and Cal OES prior to incurring any project costs.

CONTRACTOR/CONSULTANT
Contractors and Consultant services are allowable under the HSGP. Contract and procurement awards must be made to the responsible contractor or vendor whose bid or offer is most advantageous to the project. The methods of contracting are as follows:
a) Formal Advertising
b) Invitation for Bid (IFB)
c) Request for Proposal (RFP)
Consideration should be given to such matters as contractor integrity, record of past performance, financial and technical resources, and/or accessibility to the necessary resources.

A bidder is considered responsible when it has been established that the contractor meets the necessary requirements for the project and is otherwise qualified and eligible.

NOTE: Subrecipients must verify PRIOR to entering into the contract that the independent contractor or consultant services has not been suspended or debarred from participation in receiving federal awards. A dated screen printout must be obtained from the web site www.sam.gov as proof for reimbursement requests.

All contract agreements must be prepared in accordance with existing State contract provisions and policies and clearly define the responsibilities of all parties, as per 2 C.F.

R. 200.317 - 200.326 and Appendix II to Part 200, Contract Provisions for NonFederal Entity Contracts Under Federal Awards. In compliance with the Byrd AntiLobbying Act 31 U.S.C. § 1352 (as amended), contracts of $100,000 or more require the contractor to submit a Certification Regarding Lobbying. Disclosure of such certification must be included in formal bid advertising and RFP language, as well as the signed contract agreement. Certification must be forwarded to the awarding agency and kept on file.

SAM SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT
Subrecipients are required to obtain verification that the contractor or vendor selected is not debarred or suspended at the time of the award. The subrecipient must search the www.sam.gov website to verify that the vendor and/or contractor is not debarred or suspended from programs or activities involving federal financial and non-financial assistance. Vendor registration in SAM.gov is not required. However, vendor must not be debarred, suspended, or excluded from receiving federal funds, which will be verified in the search. Subrecipients receiving federal funds must certify that they will adhere to Federal Executive order 12549, Debarment and Suspension. Subrecipients will not make any awards or enter into any contract with parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded or ineligible for participation in federal programs and activities.

1) A performance bond must be obtained for all vehicle, watercraft, and aircraft purchases.

FY21 HSGP Subrecipient Application Workbook

Page 14 of 18 ends

2) For the purposes of the HSGP the vehicle identification is: A means of transportation to be used for CBRNE response equipment and personnel to the incident site. A list of authorized HSGP vehicles can be found through FEMA’s Authorized Equipment List. 3) Vehicle licensing, registration and general maintenance fees are the responsibility of the subrecipient and are NOT allowable with grant funds.
4) All vehicles purchased with HSGP funds must be tagged and be part of the subrecipient inventory control.

When subrecipients submit a proposal to purchase a vehicle, your agency must submit a justification and identify which of the subcategories under CBRNE Response Vehicle the purchase relates to. Also, your agency must be able to demonstrate how the purchase of the CBRNE Response Vehicle complies with the HSGP strategy. Vehicles must be assigned to the Duty Officer or first responder who will respond to a given incident when required to provide response to any emergency event.

PERFORMANCE BOND
Subrecipients are required to obtain a performance bond for any equipment item over $250,000, or any vehicle, aviation, or watercraft (regardless of the cost) financed with Homeland Security Grant dollars. A copy of the performance bond must be submitted to the Grants Administration Unit with your reimbursement claim. Failure to obtain the required performance bond will result in the disallowance of your HSGP project. Subrecipients may request a performance bond waiver which will be reviewed by Cal OES on a case-by-case basis.

UNALLOWABLE COSTS
Equipment purchased with HSGP funds cannot be charged to other federal grants to overcome fund deficiencies. Subrecipients will ensure that federal funds do not replace (supplant) funds that have been budgeted for the same purpose through non-federal sources.

City Council/Successor Agency Meeting I. 8.

DATE: 10/04/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the Cooperative Agreement Time Extension with SBCTA for the Interstate 10/Alabama Street Improvement Project by two (2) years to December 31, 2024 (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):

If City Council determines the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:

I move City Council approve the Cooperative Agreement Time Extension with SBCTA for the Interstate 10/Alabama Street Improvement Project by two (2) years to December 31, 2024.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council approve the Cooperative Agreement Time Extension with SBCTA for the Interstate 10/Alabama Street Improvement Project by two (2) years to December 31, 2024.

DISCUSSION:

The Interstate 10 (I-10)/Alabama Street Improvement Project (Project) is the sixth (6) highest priority project in the Measure I 2010-2040 Freeway Interchange Program. Alabama Street is a primary, north-south arterial in the City of Redlands (City) serving shopping centers, local businesses, logistics centers and residential communities. This location has been experiencing high levels of traffic congestion, resulting in substantial delays. The Project will widen the existing eastbound and westbound off-ramps and add right-turn lanes to the eastbound and westbound on-ramps. In May 2016, City Council approved Cooperative Agreement No. 17-1001603 with San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), to define Project roles, responsibilities, funding and to specify SBCTA as the lead agency for Project administration. On funding and to specify SBCTA as the lead agency for Project administration. On June 16, 2020, City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the Cooperative Agreement with the SBCTA to redefine their respective funding responsibilities based on the revised Project construction cost estimate and to update the Project schedule.

Project construction is on-going and is expected to be completed in early 2023.

The existing Agreement will expire on December 31, 2022 and Amendment No. 2 extends the expiration date by two (2) years to December 31, 2024 to provide sufficient time for construction completion, as-built preparation and close-out activities.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may deny the staff recommendation and provide alternate direction.

DATE: 10/04/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 8385 amending the City's Water Efficiency Rebate Program, an additional appropriation in the amount of $50,000 from the Water Fund; and determine that adoption of this resolution is exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15061(B)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):

If City Council determines that the staff recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move that City Council determine adoption of Resolution No. 8385 is exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15061(B)(3) of the State guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; and

1. I move that City Council approve an additional appropriation in the amount of $50,000 from the Water Fund; and

2. 3. I move that City Council adopt Resolution No. 8385.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council determine adoption of Resolution No. 8385 is exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15061(B)(3) of the State guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act; approve an additional appropriation in the amount of $50,000 from the Water Fund, and approve Resolution No. 8385 amending the City's Water Efficiency Rebate Program.

DISCUSSION:

Pursuant to Governor Newsom's March 28, 2022 Executive Order, the California Water Resources Control Board (“Water Board”) recently adopted an emergency water conservation regulation that bans the use of potable water irrigation of non-functional turf at commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. In order to remain compliant with this emergency water conservation regulation and to encourage additional water conservation within the Redlands water service area, staff recommends City Council approval of Resolution No. 8385, which rescinds Resolution No. 7655 and expands the water conservation rebate program.

Resolution No. 8385 increases the cap for both the Drought Tolerant Landscape Conversion and the Synthetic Turf/Irrigation-less Groundcover Conversion rebates. The current Drought Tolerant Landscape Conversion rebate is $0.61 per square foot with a cap of $500. Staff recommends increasing this rebate to $1 per square foot with a cap of $1,000. The current Synthetic Turf/Irrigation-less Groundcover Conversion rebate is $1 per square foot with a cap of $300. Staff recommends increasing the cap to $1,000. Staff also recommends increasing the High Efficiency Washing Machine rebate from $100 to $200. Staff believes these revisions will increase participation in the rebate program and reduce outdoor water use. Staff has also received input from residents stating that other local agencies have higher rebates for turf removal and washing machines.

Similar rebates are offered by other local municipalities and water agencies.

The City of Redlands is located within the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District's ("Valley District") service area. Valley District is a State Water Project Contractor and purchases imported water directly from the State Water Project ("SWP"). As a water retail agency within the Valley District service area, the City of Redlands annually receives Valley District reimbursement for water conservation efforts. Valley District has budgeted $30,000 for this reimbursement in Fiscal Year 22/23. This reimbursement will partially offset the additional appropriation necessary to expand the water conservation rebate program.

Finally, adoption of the Resolution is exempt from environmental review in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act Section 15061(B)(3) since it is reasonably certain that this action will have no significant negative environmental effect.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may deny the staff recommendation. However, staff highly recommends approval of this resolution in order to remain compliant with regulatory agency water conservation requirements and to encourage residents to participate in the rebate program to conserve water.

INCENTIVE ITEM DESCRIPTIONS
High Efficiency Sprinklers:

High efficiency sprinklers are designed to reduce water waste and can be either rotary or spray heads.

Instead of a fixed stream of water, rotary heads deliver multiple streams, reducing water waste. Rotary heads also deliver a wider stream and distribute less precipitation, decreasing overspray and runoff. Newer spray heads are designed to distribute water more efficiently and with more precision while using less water.

Increase in water droplet size in newer spray heads reduces overspray while increasing droplets applied to vegetation. For rebate eligibility, high efficiency sprinklers must:
• Be new; and
• Have documentation (spec sheet, pamphlet, sticker, etc.) signifying water efficiency.

Additionally, there is no minimum sprinkler requirement to be eligible for rebate, however all sprinklers on an individual valve circuit must be replaced at the same time with the same model sprinkler for effective conservation and matched precipitation.

Weather-Based Irrigation Controllers:

Water-based irrigation controllers (WBICs) improve irrigation efficiency by reducing or eliminating irrigation run times based on weather, thus reducing unnecessary irrigation throughout the City’s service area. WBICs have a weather based component that tracks current weather conditions by use of a weather sensor and will turn off or modify irrigation if precipitation is present or irrigation is not needed. To be eligible for rebate, WBICs must be:

City Council/Successor Agency Meeting I. 10.

DATE: 10/04/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the License Agreement with Juan Morales doing business as The Dog House for a hot dog food truck located at the City's Corporate Yard, 1270 W. Park Avenue, and determination that approval of the agreement is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Assistant City Manager Boatman)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move to determine that approval of the License Agreement with Juan Morales, doing business as "The Dog House", is exempt
from environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; and

1. I move to approve the License Agreement with Juan Morales, doing business as "The Dog House", for a food truck at the City's Corporate Yard, 1270 W. Park Avenue.

2. RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the License Agreement with Juan Morales, doing business as "The Dog House", to operate a hot dog food truck for an outdoor dining area located at the City's Corporate Yard, 1270 W.

Park Avenue, and determine that approval of the project is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Redlands Corporate Yard provides alternative fuel to customers seven days a week. It is also a significant revenue source for the City, generating approximately $1.1 Million in sales annually. As part of the City's ongoing efforts to retain existing and attract new fuel sales customers, multiple projects have been undertaken to enhance the area's curb appeal, create a pedestrian-friendly environment, and provide additional revenue-generating opportunities.

Juan Morales, the owner of The Dog House, has operated his hot dog food truck on a portion of the City's Corporate Yard at 1270 W. Park Avenue under a License Agreement since September 2020. The proposal is to renew the License Agreement for an additional one (1) year term to permit the continued use of 324 square feet of the Yard to operate a hot dog food truck for an outdoor dining area . Per the License Agreement, Mr. Morales will maintain this area and ensure compliance with the License Agreement and all applicable laws. The License Agreement requires a monthly rent of $400, which is based on appraisals conducted for similar outdoor areas in the City, that were also licensed for outdoor dining purposes.

Staff recommends that the License Agreement is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines pursuant to Section 15301. This section pertains to existing facilities and applies when there is no resulting expansion of use. The project is consistent with this exemption as it is within a developed portion of the corporate yard and will primarily service existing customers of the fuel island.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may decline the approval of the License Agreement or provide alternative direction to staff.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Not Applicable.

Licensee’s failure to complete such cure within a reasonable time shall also constitute a default by Licensee.

D. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Licensee’s failure to perform or comply with any covenant, condition or agreement in this License may be of such a one-time nature that such a Default is not subject to cure (e.g. Licensee’s failure on a given day to abide by the hours of operation permitted by this License) (a “One-Time Default”). In such an event, City shall provide written notice to Licensee within five (5) business days of City’s knowledge and determination of the occurrence of a One-Time Default. City’s provision to Licensee of three such One-Time Default notices during the term of this License for Licensee’s failure to perform or comply with the same (or similar) covenant, condition or agreement contained in this License shall constitute a breach by Licensee of this License.

Section 19. Amendment; Waiver. No term or provision of this License may be amended, altered, modified or waived orally or by course of conduct, but only by an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer or representative of each Party. No waiver by either Party of any provision of this License, or waiver of any breach of this License, shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision of this License, or of any subsequent breach by either Party of the same or any other provision of this License.

Section 20. Governing Law; Venue. This License is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws. Any action by a party to this Agreement to enforce or interpret the terms hereof shall be maintained in the courts in San Bernardino County.

Section 21. Attorneys’ Fees. If either Party to this License brings an action to enforce the terms hereof or declare rights hereunder, the prevailing party in such action, on trial or appeal, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees to be paid by the non-prevailing party as fixed by the court.

Section. 22. Counterparts. This License Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is an original but all of which together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 23. Severability. If any particular provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.

City Council/Successor Agency Meeting J. 1.

DATE: 10/04/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Introduction to the creation of an Inclusionary Housing program, consideration of a sole source agreement with Keyser Marston Associates, Inc., for the completion of a financial evaluation and creation of an Inclusionary Housing program, and approval of additional appropriation in the amount of $50,400 (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):

If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motions are provided:

I move that City Council authorize staff to develop an inclusionary housing program to encourage the development of affordable housing; and

1. I move that City Council approve the sole source agreement with Keyser Marston Associates Inc., for an amount not-to-exceed $50,400; and

2. I move to approve an additional appropriation of $50,400 from the General Fund unassigned fund balance to the Development Services FY 2022-23 Planning Budget.

3. RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council instruct staff to proceed with the drafting of an Inclusionary Housing ordinance, approve the sole source agreement with Keyser Marston Associates, inc., and approve an additional appropriation of $50,400 from the General Fund unassigned fund balance to the Development Services FY 2022-23 Planning Budget.

DISCUSSION:

The City's Housing Element includes a program calling for the City to evaluate and consider adopting an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Through the Housing Element, the City is required to plan for the provision of its share of the Regional Housing Needs (RHNA) as determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). For the current 2021-2029 Housing Element period, the City's RHNA allocation numbers consist of the following household income levels:

Very-low income: 967 units
Low income: 615 units
Moderate income: 652 units
Above-moderate income: 1,282 units
Total RHNA allocation: 3,516 units
While there are programs to encourage developers to include affordable units in their developments, such as the Density Bonus Program, most developers opt not to do so. Inclusionary Housing programs have existed in California for over 20 years and, at present, approximately 170 cities in California have adopted Inclusionary Housing Ordinances that require a certain percentage of affordable units (or an in-lieu fee to be deposited into an affordable housing fund).

Many cities have viewed Inclusionary Housing programs as offering multiple benefits to the community, including:

Housing for low to moderate income working households, such as those headed by teachers, police officers, retail clerks, firefighters, senior citizens, young families, and others who would otherwise be priced out of the current real estate market;
Diverse, mixed-income communities;
Affordable housing spread throughout the community;
A market-based solution to leverage affordable housing, especially during a period of declining public resources;
Reduced sprawl and traffic congestion by allowing people to live closer to where they work and, for public sector employees, in the communities in which they serve; and
Predictability for developers who must all follow the same inclusionary housing policy and procedures.

Despite a number of court challenges, these ordinances have been upheld as a valid exercise of a city's zoning powers. Most recently, in 2015, the California Supreme Court ruled that Inclusionary Housing programs, while being a valid use of a jurisdiction's zoning powers, must be structured such that they are not "confiscatory" and that they do not deprive a property owner of a fair and reasonable return on investment. The court did not provide criteria under which jurisdictions can evaluate these limitations. As a result, each jurisdiction is left to create an evaluation methodology that balances the interests of property owners, developers and the jurisdiction’s need for affordable housing. Thus, the first step in the process of developing an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance will be to obtain a consultant to prepare a financial feasibility study.

Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) is a full-service real estate, affordable housing, and economic consulting firm that specializes in advisory and evaluation services. KMA was incorporated in 1973 and has one of the largest public sector advisory practices on the West Coast. KMA has prepared Inclusionary Housing programs for 17 California cities and is considered a leading expert in this area. KMA was selected as the sole source vendor due to their intimate working knowledge in this area for the completion of a financial evaluation and creation of an Inclusionary Housing program. Time is of the essence and the process of completing a formal request for proposal would significantly delay the process of creating an Inclusionary Housing program by several months.

ALTERNATIVES:

City Council may elect not to approve these actions and provide alternative direction to staff.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

Supports Strategic Plan Priority A, Quality of Life,Strategic Objective 2 - Economic Vitality, Implement policies and programs to expand the City's affordable housing.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Inclusionary Housing: Financial Evaluation

1. In 2015, the California Supreme Court ruled in the California Building Industry Association v.

City of San Jose, 61 Cal 4th 435 (San Jose) that Inclusionary Housing ordinances should be viewed as use restrictions that are a valid exercise of a jurisdiction’s zoning powers. The San Jose ruling only applies to ownership residential development. The parameters of the San Jose case did not include Inclusionary Housing restrictions on rental development.

2. In September 2017 the California Legislature adopted AB 1505.1 This legislation, which is known as the “Palmer Fix”, allows jurisdictions to adopt ordinances that impose income and affordability requirements on rental residential projects.2 AB 1505 also requires jurisdictions to identify alternative methods for fulfilling the affordable housing obligations. These options include, but are not limited to:
a. In-lieu fee payment;
b. Off-site construction of affordable housing units;
c. Dedication of land for affordable housing development; and d. The acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units.

3. California Government Code Section 65915 et seq. (Section 65915) imposes density bonus requirements on projects that fulfill defined income and affordability restrictions.

FOUNDATIONAL ASSUMPTIONS: FINANCIAL EVALUATION
Prototype Developments
The purpose of the KMA analysis will be to evaluate the financial feasibility of imposing Inclusionary Housing requirements on the housing types anticipated to be developed in Redlands.

As pertinent, KMA proposes to evaluate the following residential product types:

1. Single Family Homes;

2. Townhomes and Condominiums; and

3. Apartment projects.
1 AB 1505 amended Section 65850 of the California Government Code and added Section 65850.01. 2 In 2009, the California Court of Appeal ruled in Palmer/Sixth Street Properties L.P. v. City of Los Angeles, 175 Cal. App. 4th 1396 that the imposition of Inclusionary Housing requirements on rental housing developmentviolates the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act. AB 1505 supersedes this decision. 8 L:\ca\Agreements\Keyser Marston Associates Agreement.PS-1.1.FY22-0031.docx-jm For analysis purposes, KMA will create prototype developments for the identified housing types.

These prototypes will be developed in consultation with the City staff, and they will be representative of project types being developed in Redlands. KMA will also evaluate the potential for the Section 65915 density bonus to be used to mitigate the financial impact created by the imposition of Inclusionary Housing requirements on the prototype developments.

Information Needs
The foundation of the Financial Evaluation will be a market analysis, the use of KMA’s proprietary pro forma models, and affordability gap analyses. To undertake this analysis it would be useful for KMA to be provided with the following information:

1. The most recent draft of the City’s Sixth Cycle Housing Element.

2. Any housing strategy information that has recently been prepared by the City.

3. A representative sample of for sale and rental residential projects that have been proposed and/or developed within the past 10 years. The information should include:
a. Detailed scope of development;
b. Development plans if available;
c. The site’s zoning designation and development standards; and d. The parking requirements being imposed.

4. An identification of sites in Redlands that are available for the development of residential uses.

The information provided should include the zoning designation and development standards imposed on the parcels.

5. The City’s current Section 65915 density bonus ordinance.

6. The parking requirements imposed on multifamily and single family residential development.

7. Estimates of the public permits and fees costs for residential development broken down into per unit costs associated with typical planning fees, impact fees imposed by the City; school fees, and fees imposed by jurisdictions other than the City.

Recommended Inclusionary Housing Program Characteristics The Financial Evaluation will be used to assist KMA in recommending the following Inclusionary Housing program characteristics:

1. Identification of project types that may be exempt from the Inclusionary Housing requirements.

2. The threshold project size that will trigger the Inclusionary requirements. 9 L:\ca\Agreements\Keyser Marston Associates Agreement.PS-1.1.FY22-0031.docx-jm

3. The percentage of affordable units that will be required to be provided.

4. The income and affordability restrictions that will be imposed.

5. The comparability standards that will be imposed on Inclusionary Units.

6. The treatment of Inclusionary Housing requirements that result in a fractional unit affordable housing requirement.

7. Alternatives to developing the Inclusionary Units on site within the proposed market rate project including:
a. A fee that would be paid in lieu of producing affordable units; b. Off-site development of affordable housing units;
c. Dedication of land for subsequent development of affordable housing units; and d. Acquisition and rehabilitation of existing units.

8. Quantification of the in-lieu fee payment amounts that can be supported given the affordability gaps associated with the prototype residential types being evaluated.

9. Recommended procedures for modifying the requirements over time as market conditions change.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INCLUSIONARY POLICIES
The KMA Los Angeles office has assisted in creating over 30 Inclusionary Housing programs in California. We have also assisted in establishing the implementing policies and procedures in many of those jurisdictions. The salient characteristics of these programs will be included in the comparative analysis of existing Inclusionary policies. In addition, KMA will undertake a survey of the programs adopted throughout California.

The purpose of the comparative analysis is to identify the characteristics embodied commonly by Inclusionary Housing programs. The results will be used by KMA to identify the best practices being employed by Inclusionary Housing programs. This information will provide context for the Inclusionary Housing program parameters to be recommended to the City.

DELIVERABLE PRODUCTS: FINANCIAL EVALUATION
As part of the Financial Evaluation, KMA proposes to deliver the following work products to the City:

1. KMA will prepare a draft Financial Evaluation report that will be supported by tables, data and other materials relevant to the analysis.
10 L:\ca\Agreements\Keyser Marston Associates Agreement.PS-1.1.FY22-0031.docx-jm

2. KMA will prepare a Power Point presentation that summarizes the assumptions, analysis, and findings of the Financial Evaluation.

3. Following receipt of comments from the City staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council KMA will finalize the Financial Evaluation report.

B. Inclusionary Policy Recommendations
KMA proposes to prepare a separate policy recommendations memorandum that will be based on the results of the Financial Evaluation, and the following:

1. Ongoing discussions with City staff;

2. Planning Commission and City Council input;

3. Community input; and

4. The best practices identified in the survey of existing Inclusionary Housing programs.

The policy recommendations memorandum will be organized as follows:

1. The findings of the Financial Evaluation will be summarized.

2. The components of the recommended policies will be identified. The following policy recommendations for ownership and rental housing development will be included:
a. The financially feasible income targeting standards; b. The percentage of housing units that should be set aside as Inclusionary Housing units;
c. Affordable housing production requirements; and
d. The alternative fulfillment options that will be available to projects that are subject to the Inclusionary Housing program requirements.

3. The role that the Section 65915 density bonus should play in establishing income and affordability requirements for the City’s Inclusionary Housing program.

4. The implementation and administrative tools that should be created by the City after an Inclusionary Housing program is adopted.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE CERTIFICATION
Every employer, except the State, shall secure the payment of compensation in one or more of the following ways:
(a) By being insured against liability to pay compensation by one or more insurers duly authorized to write compensation insurance in this State. (b) By securing from the Director of Industrial Relations, a certificate of consent to self-insure, either as an individual employer, or as one employer in a group of employers, which may be given upon furnishing proof satisfactory to the Director of Industrial Relations of ability to self-insure and to pay any compensation that may become due to his or her employees.

CHECK ONE
I am aware of the provisions of Section 3700 of the Labor Code which requires every employer to be insured against liability for Workers’ Compensation or to undertake self-insurance in accordance with the provisions of that Code, and I will comply with such provisions before commencing the performance of the work and activities required or permitted under this Agreement. (Labor Code §1861).

I affirm that at all times, in performing the work and activities required or permitted under this Agreement, I shall not employ any person in any manner such that I become subject to the workers’ compensation laws of California. However, at any time, if I employ any person such that I become subject to the workers’ compensation laws of California, immediately I shall provide the City with a certificate of consent to self-insure, or a certification of workers’ compensation insurance.

I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the information and representations made in this certificate are true and correct.

I move to deny the Appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval for Conditional Use Permit No. 1138 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475, and adoption and certification of the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment, for the City Center mixed-use project.

RECOMMENDATION:

On August 30, 2022, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt Resolutions certifying and adopting the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment document prepared for the project, approving Conditional Use Permit No. 1138, and approving Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475 for the City Center mixed-use project. Resolution Nos. 1585 and 1586 are included as Attachment A and Attachment B to this staff report.

Staff recommends that the City Council deny the Appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the entitlements for the City Center mixed-use project based upon the evidence in the record and the analysis in this report.

DISCUSSION:

A) Project Description

The project proposes to develop a mixed-use project (residential uses combined with retail/commercial uses) on a vacant site located at the northwest corner of Brookside Avenue and N. Eureka Street (see Attachment C, Location Map & Aerial Photo). The proposal is a transit-oriented development located less than one-quarter mile from the downtown Santa Fe Depot train station. The mixed-use proposal has four new buildings consisting of one apartment building and three commercial buildings for restaurant uses as summarized below. The residential portion of the project contains one building with a total of 131 apartments.

Three commercial buildings (proposed restaurants at this time) are located immediately adjacent to the intersection corner at Brookside Avenue and Eureka Street: Pad 1 will be 3,505 square feet; Pad 2 will be 3,450 square feet; and Pad 3 will be 3,578 square feet.

Covered parking for the residential portion of the project is proposed within a parking garage underneath the apartment building, as well as a surface lot with carports located in the northwesterly portion of the site. Uncovered guest spaces and restaurant parking is provided within the uncovered portion of the surface parking lot. A total of 213 parking spaces are provided and include 173 residential spaces and 40 non-residential parking spaces.

The Planning Commission staff report is included as Attachment D. Project plans are provided including Site Plan (Attachment E), Floor Plans (Attachment F), Architectural Elevations (Attachments G-1 and G-2), Color Renderings (Attachments H-1, H-2 and H-3), Landscape Plan (Attachment I), and Tentative Parcel Map (Attachment J).

B) Appeal

Following approval of the project by the Planning Commission on August 30, 2022, Lozeau Drury LLP, representing Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER), submitted their appeal on September 9, 2022 (Attachment K). The appellant filed the appeal within ten days of the decision date as required by RMC Section 18.192.070. As indicated on the appeal application, the appellant’s Grounds for Appeal state:

“For the reasons discussed in the attached letter, the Planning Commission should not have approved the Project. The City should have prepared a revised SCEA or, alternatively, prepared an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the Project, and should have circulated the revised SCEA or Draft EIR for public review prior to consideration of project approvals. See Attachment.”

The applicant then includes a letter dated August 29, 2022. This letter was originally received immediately prior to the Planning Commission hearing for the project and states:

“After reviewing the SCEA, we conclude the SCEA fails as an informational document and fails to impose all feasible mitigation measures to reduce the Project’s impacts. Therefore, we request that the Development Services Department prepare a revised SCEA or, in the alternative, prepare an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), Public Resources Code section 21000, et seq.”

Further, the letter cites the appellant’s right to supplement the comments provided in the letter, including but not limited to at public hearings concerning the project.

Following the appellant’s letter of August 29, 2022, and prior to Planning Commission’s decision to approve the project (on August 30, 2022), staff worked with the City’s environmental consultant to provide a response to that letter. The city's response is included in the Response to Comments for the project, was shared with the Planning Commission before the public hearing, and is summarized in the section below.

C) Staff Response
The appellant does not provide any information or evidence in either their letter of August 29, 2022, or on the Appeal form regarding the existence of any potentially significant impacts. Therefore, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the project. The existing Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) document complies with CEQA, the proposed mitigation measures are sufficient to reduce all impacts to less than significant levels, and no changes or further analyses are required.

The appellant’s Grounds for Appeal and attached letter assert that the SCEA does not include all feasible mitigation measures to reduce the Project’s impacts. However, the appellant does not provide any additional information regarding this assertion. As discussed throughout the SCEA document, mitigation measures are appropriate and required only for impacts related to certain topic areas: biological resources, cultural resources, paleontological resources, noise, and tribal cultural resources. For those impact areas, the project will implement all feasible mitigation measures required to reduce impacts to a less than significant level. For all other environmental topics discussed in the SCEA, the impacts remain less than significant (i.e., no mitigation measure required), and there is no nexus requiring mitigation measures pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.4, subdivision (a)(4)(A)-(B).

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Initial Study & Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment: The Initial Study (Attachment L-1) prepared for the project is based on Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and includes all the standard topics of analysis including:
aesthetics; air quality; cultural resources; energy; geology and soils; greenhouse gas emissions; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; land use and planning; noise; population and housing; public services; transportation; tribal cultural resources; and utilities and service systems. The document was prepared using the appropriate criteria and thresholds for a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) in compliance with CEQA, which is similar in appearance to a Mitigated Negative Declaration used for many types of development projects.

Public Review & Comment Period: The required 30-day public review and comment period began on July 13, 2022 and ended on August 12, 2022. The Notice of Intent was published in a local newspaper as well as posted to OPR’s State Clearinghouse website for CEQA documents (SCH No. 2022070186). The Initial Study and related documents are also posted on the City’s webpage for environmental documents at
https://www.cityofredlands.org/post/environmental-documents.

Mitigation Measures: The Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (Attachment L-2) includes a total of five (5) mitigation measures pertaining to Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology & Soils, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. All mitigation measures pertain to the construction phases of the project and will ensure that the environmental effects of the project will remain less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary for any operational aspects of the project or will need future monitoring. After mitigation, no potentially significant impacts were identified as a result of the project, and the mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project as mandatory Conditions of Approval.

Public Comments: The City received a total of five (5) public comment letters during the 30-day public review/comment period. The letters were received from the parties listed below:

Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians;
Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation;
OmniTrans;
Philip Terhorst, an adjacent property owner; and
T. Allen Jolliff, a Redlands resident.

The proposed mitigation measures are adequate to address all environmental impacts of the project, and the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) is the appropriate environmental document and determination for the project.

Errata: A minor revision has been made to the SCEA document that was circulated for public review/comment. The Errata (Attachment L-4) provides a minor text addition to clearly identify the appropriate figure number that was referenced by a noise mitigation measure (MM N-1). This revision does not alter any impact analysis or conclusions as discussed in the SCEA.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may uphold the Appeal and stay the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 1138 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475 to allow staff to prepare additional environmental review documents such as a revised SCEA or EIR to be reviewed at a public hearing before the City Council at a later date.

STRATEGIC PLAN:

The proposed mixed use project would align with goals for Quality of Life, Strategic Objective 2:

Implement policies and programs to expand the City’s affordable housing opportunities.

Encourage redevelopment efforts in the transit corridor (e.g. University Village and mall site).

BACKGROUND
Project Site History: The City Center project site is approximately 3 acres in size and is located in the northwest corner of Eureka Street and Brookside Avenue (see Attachment A – Location Map & Aerial Photo). The project site was previously developed with the City’s safety hall and police station, City Council chamber, a San Bernardino County Courthouse, and two single-family residences. In 2017, the properties were purchased from the City by Vantage One Real Estate Investments (the current property owner and applicant). In 2018, the developer received approval to change the General Plan land use designation to “Commercial” as well as change the zoning to “General Commercial (C-3)” for the entire project site and demolished all structures on-site in preparation for future redevelopment. The site has remained vacant since that time.

In October 2019, the property owner submitted a development application for the “City Center” project in its current form, in addition, the property owner requested a determination that the proposed project would be exempt from Measure “U” in 2021.

Measure U: The language of Measure “U” provides exemptions for six “Special Categories of Development,” including an exemption for future development directly related to train stations. On October 19, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8269 determining the proposed project was "directly related" to the downtown train stations and therefore exempt from Measure “U.”
Housing Crisis Act of 2019: The Housing Crisis Act of 2019, also referred to as Senate Bill 330 (SB 330), became effective on January 1, 2020. This new State law imposes several new limitations on cities and counties with regard to proposed housing development projects, including the provisions listed below.

The City may conduct no more than five (5) hearings on the project (including any Commission or Board meetings, workshops, subcommittee meetings, etc.).

The City may still use its Architectural Design Guidelines that were previously adopted in 2009, provided the City does not: a) deny the project, or b) reduce the number of dwelling units based on nonconformance with subjective design criteria.

Requires any potential disapproval of a project that complies with objective General Plan and zoning standards (or approve it on the condition that it be developed at a lower density) to base its decision upon written findings supported by substantial evidence in the record, that the project will have a "specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density." The burden of proof for such findings falls on the local agency.

Prohibits the City from changing the zoning or development standards that would: change the allowable land use to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of use below that which was in effect on January 1, 2018; impose or enforce a moratorium on housing development within all or a portion of the jurisdiction of the city; and, impose or enforce new design standards established on or after January 1, 2020, that are not objective design standards, as defined.
“Housing development project” is defined as a use consisting of: residential units only; mixed-use developments consisting of residential and nonresidential uses with at least two-thirds of the square footage designated for residential use; and supportive or transitional housing.

The proposed project is a mixed-use development consisting of residential and nonresidential uses with at least two-thirds of the square-footage designated for residential use. The applicant for this project has filed the SB 330 Preliminary Housing Application pursuant to the Housing Crisis Act of 2019.

ANALYSIS
A) General Plan

Land Use Designation: The approximately 3-acre project site (consisting of seventeen parcels) is currently designated as “Commercial” on the General Plan Land Use Map (Attachment H-1) and is consistent with the existing C-3, General Commercial zoning.

General Plan Policies: A primary strategy of the 2035 General Plan (adopted in December 2017) is to encourage more transit-oriented development in close proximity to the three train stations in the core areas of Redlands, rather than continuing the pattern of subdivisions and sprawling development around the periphery of the city. This strategy is referred to as the “Transit Village Concept” in Chapter 4, Livable Community. The Transit Village Concept emphasizes mixing of land uses (such as residential with retail, restaurant, office, and similar commercial uses) and higher density/intensity of uses around the train stations for the intended purposes of supporting transit use, enhancing walkability and pedestrian orientation around the station areas, and discouraging use of automobiles within the pedestrian-friendly station areas and downtown.

The concept for the proposed project, that of a mixed-use project, is consistent with many Policies and Actions contained in the 2035 General Plan (adopted in December 2017) which envisions compact and infill development around the three train stations in Redlands. See Attachment H-2 for a list of applicable General Plan policies and an assessment of the project’s consistency with each Principle and Action. Several key policies are listed below, all of which will be consistent with implementation of the proposed project. 2-P.25: Encourage a variety of uses and activities, such as a mix of commercial, office, restaurant, specialty retail, and residential uses, and civic, cultural, and entertainment activities to attract visitors and residents from across the community by creating a lively, interesting social environment.
2-A.97: Seek an increased presence of both residents and activity in Downtown with new development – particularly residential as part of mixed-use development – as well as commercial, entertainment, and cultural uses that serve both residents and visitors. 2-A.98: Promote a variety of housing types to attract a spectrum of households to live Downtown.
3-A.10: Encourage mixed-use projects within the Transit Villages that will attract a wide array of uses including retail, restaurant, entertainment, office, residential, and cultural offerings. 3-A.36: Support revitalization of underutilized commercial space throughout Downtown, including the Redlands Mall, which could create new opportunities for businesses and residents, and provide a critical link to rail.
3-A.39: Encourage and support the development of additional housing Downtown to increase the vitality and diversity of Downtown retail and services. 4-P.3: Focus new development in infill areas in order to preserve open space, agriculture, and citrus groves, particularly around the edges of the city. 4-P.9: Locate medium- and high-density development near regional access routes, transit stations, employment centers, shopping areas, and public services. 4-P.13: Encourage mixed-use development (two or more uses within the same building or in close proximity on the same site) in Downtown, the Transit Villages, and along Redlands Boulevard to promote vibrancy.
4-A.12: Support new residential development in Downtown, the Transit Villages, and other focused infill sites accessible to transit and in central parts of the community. 4-P.42: Provide for new jobs, housing, and entertainment opportunities in compact, walkable environments.
5-A.75: Consider techniques to reduce the amount of area in the Transit Villages occupied by parking, especially for developments located within easy walking distance of the Passenger Rail stations. Techniques may include reduced parking requirements, unbundled parking, and others as appropriate.
7-A.73: Improve the sense of safety within Downtown, including the Redlands Mall area.

B) Zoning
The project site is within the General Commercial (C-3) land use district. Properties to the east, north and northwest are also within the C-3 District (see Attachment I-1). The purpose of the C-3 District is to provide a central location, accessible from all areas of the city and surrounding areas, for the purchase of primary shopper’s goods. RMC Section 18.92.080 (B) states that within the C-3 District, residential uses are permitted subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit and may be combined with nonresidential uses as a mixed-use development or be developed as a multifamily-attached residential project, in an existing building or an entirely new building subject to the development standards of the C-3 District. The proposed project is a horizontal mixed-use development (i.e., different uses in different buildings) with both commercial and residential uses planned for the site.

C) Conditional Use Permit No. 1138
The residential and commercial uses will be in different buildings. The proposed commercial uses consist of three restaurants clustered at the corner intersection closest to Eureka Street and Brookside Avenue. The three buildings include a total of 10,550 square feet of restaurant space. Each restaurant would include outdoor seating areas, and pedestrian paths enter from the front along Brookside Avenue and Eureka Street. The residential use is within a single four-story building located on the west side of the site (this building does not include any commercial uses) and contains 131 apartment units with parking located underneath the building.

The project proposes high-density multifamily residential use combined with restaurant uses on a single site located within the Transit Village Overlay Zone as described in the 2035 General Plan. This is an area that will transition to more intense downtown commercial and residential uses, as envisioned by several General Plan policies related to the future transit villages. The project is surrounded by a variety of uses with predominantly commercial and retail businesses to the east along Brookside Avenue/Citrus Avenue, and a mix of office uses (i.e., single-family structures converted to medical and professional offices) as well as single-family residential uses to the west along Brookside Avenue. Directly across Eureka Street to the east, a development application for the Redlands Mall site has been approved to redevelop the site with a mixed-use project (State Street Village). To the south of the project site, across Brookside Avenue, various uses include administrative and professional offices, the downtown post office, and further to the south are single-family neighborhoods and the A.K. Smiley Public Library. To the immediate north of the project, there is a mix of restaurant and office uses in one- and two-story commercial buildings. To the west, along Kendall Street, are rear yards of three single-family residences (one- and two-stories high) although the higher grade elevation along Kendall Street makes the houses appear slightly taller.

Mix of Land Uses: Though the listed uses in the C-3 District are primarily commercial in nature, including mixed-use projects (residential combined with commercial), the development standards for the district allow flexibility to design a variety of mixed-use projects. In the Municipal Code, the development standards for the C-3 zoning district do not specify or require a specific mix of land uses. Instead, floor area ratio (“FAR”) governs the density and intensity of the project.

Site Access: The existing street frontages will provide adequate vehicular access, and no new streets are included within the project site. The project includes four driveways:

One on Eureka Street (leading to the surface parking adjacent to the restaurant area and the exterior of the apartment building);
Two on Brookside Avenue, one providing emergency access behind the apartment building and the other leading to the surface parking lot (adjacent to the restaurant area and the main entry to the apartment building); and
One at the rear of the site to W. Citrus Avenue/First Street (providing access to the bottom level of the parking structure beneath the apartment building).

Street Connectivity: The project is located in a downtown area that is fully developed with improved roadways, all of which include sidewalks. The project’s location on the corner of two well-traveled streets adjacent to an existing Omnitrans route would provide easy transit access throughout the City. Also, existing sidewalks and marked crosswalks connect conveniently to the Downtown Station train platforms less than 1,200 feet to the north (via Eureka Street). The project site is surrounded by sidewalks and pedestrian access to and from the project could be provided in several directions.

Floor-Area Ratio: The C-3 district allows a maximum Floor-Area Ratio of 4.0 for commercial and mixed-use projects. Floor-Area Ratio (or “FAR”) is one way to measure the intensity of a land use using the total floor area of buildings divided by the lot size. The proposed project will have a FAR of 1.8 and is less than the 4.0 maximum FAR permitted for the C-3 zoning district.

Building Heights: The C-3, General Commercial district does not have a stated height limit. The residential apartment building will be four-stories high, averaging approximately 48’ tall with the roof peak elements projecting higher to approximately 55’ high as measured from the adjacent grade. The three proposed restaurant buildings will be single-story with an approximate maximum roof peak height of 30’.

Building Setbacks: Proposed new buildings on the 3-acre site would be placed at or near the front sidewalks. This would be consistent with the design intent of other Planning documents such as the Downtown Specific Plan as well as the draft Transit Villages Specific Plan. Building frontages placed close to the sidewalks will create an active, engaging, and safe pedestrian environment. The C-3 zone has no setback requirements (i.e., 0 feet) for the front, sides, and rear sides of lots.

Development Standards: The proposed project will be consistent with the applicable development standards for the C-3 district (see Attachment I-2 Table of Development Standards). Applicable development standards pertain to on-site resident parking, residential guest parking, commercial parking (including shared parking permitted in the C-3 district in accordance with RMC 18.164.325), loading zones, and landscaping.

Architectural Design: The proposed designs of the buildings comply with the City’s Architectural Design Guidelines for new development projects. See Attachment J for a table of the design guidelines and how the proposed project will meet the suggested guidelines.

The project is designed with Mediterranean/Spanish Colonial style and includes a variety of architectural elements and articulated massing. Elements of the building include low-pitch tile roofs, patios and balconies that feature decorative wrought iron, and arched windows. The primary exterior finish for all buildings is cream colored, imperfect semi-smooth stucco. Tan accents on the lower levels of the apartment building and trim pieces break up the visual mass of the building and provide visual interest. The roofline of the building is varied and includes Spanish barrel tiles for the majority of the building. In other areas of the building, parapet walls with molded eaves will screen rooftop outdoor open space and mechanical equipment. Exterior wall planes have a substantial amount of vertical and horizontal articulation, including shaped buttresses as well as inset window and door openings to create pockets of shade/shadow for visual interest. Balconies and openings on the apartment building provide further architectural relief and result in active spaces for visual interest.

The architectural features provided on the apartment building are carried throughout the project into the three commercial (restaurant) structures. The color pallet and materials used, such as the Spanish barrel tiles and semi-smooth imperfect stucco are used throughout. The restaurants also provide outdoor seating areas covered by wooden trellises supported by stone finished Tuscan columns similar to the outdoor open space areas on the roof of the apartment building.

The outdoor patios are placed adjacent to the street frontages (Brookside Ave. and Eureka St.) to create active spaces and visual interest as seen from the public rights-of-way, are enclosed as semi-private spaces, and are oriented away from the residential building so as to minimize any noise or visual intrusions to the residential units. Low walls and landscaping around the exterior of the patios create a buffer between the public sidewalk.

Resident Parking: A total of 134 resident spaces are required and 140 will be provided. The required resident parking is based on unit size, as follows: one (1.0) space per unit up to 999 square-feet, and 1.5 spaces per unit between 1,000 to 1,499 square-feet. In addition, 33 guest spaces are required and a total of 33 spaces will be provided (based on 0.25 space per dwelling unit).

The project provides parking underneath the building and within carport structures in the surface parking area. There are 103 parking spaces located under the apartment building and 37 carports for a total of 140 spaces, exceeding the covered parking requirement by 6 additional spaces.

The project site would be subdivided into two parcels, and portions of the required residential parking would be located on the adjacent commercial parcel. With the exception of four spaces, all of the residential guest parking is located within the commercial portion of the project (Parcel 2). Similarly, of the 37 residential carports located within the surface parking area, 21 of them would be located within Parcel 2. Section 18.164.250 of the Redlands Municipal Code allows the Planning Commission to approve parking facilities to be located on a parcel that is separate from the use that they are intended to serve, provided that the following criteria can be met:

A. All or part of the substitute location is within 200 feet of the principal use for which the parking is being provided.

B.The substitute lot is in the same possession as the use it is intended to serve. Such possession may be by deed or long-term lease, the terms of which meet the approval of the City.

The substitute location for the residential parking is located within 200 feet and is directly adjacent to the property lines of the residential use, within the same development project, and in the same parking lot. The first requirement can be met. Condition of Approval No. 34 has been added to the project requiring either a recorded parking agreement, deed, or long-term lease to be reviewed and approved prior to the issuance of a building permit. With the implementation of this Condition of Approval, the second requirement can be met.

Commercial Parking: A minimum of 36 spaces are required (10,550 sq. ft. / 300 sq. ft. = 35.2) and a total of 40 commercial spaces will be provided. The commercial parking requirement for mixed use buildings is based on gross commercial floor area, as follows: 1 space per 300 square-feet for suites on the ground floor; and 1 space per 350 square-feet for upper floor commercial space.

The City Council recently amended the parking requirements for mixed-use projects (within one-half mile of the train station) to use a blended rate of 1 space per 300 square-feet of commercial space on the ground floor. In addition, as explained below, up to 33 residential guest spaces would also be available for shared use with the commercial tenants.

Shared Parking: In addition to the required commercial parking, RMC Section 18.92.080(B) allows up to 100% of the residential guest spaces to be jointly used by commercial customers in a mixed-use development. The commercial portion of the project provides more than the minimum required number of commercial spaces for the development (36 spaces required, and 40 provided). As noted previously, a total of 33 residential guest spaces are provided. If up to 33 residential guest spaces were shared with commercial customers from time to time, then a total of 73 spaces (40+33=73) would be available if needed. Therefore, the proposed project will be consistent with the purpose of RMC Section 18.92.080(B).

Open Space: There are no defined open space requirements in the C-3 District. The residential Open Space: There are no defined open space requirements in the C-3 District. The residential building includes common open space within interior amenity spaces and private open space within balconies or terraces. The majority of the apartments include private outdoor space. Of the 131 apartments proposed, 125 will provide a balcony or terrace space ranging in size from 35 square feet up to 473 square feet. A total of 12,532 square feet of private open space is provided within the project.

The combined amount of common outdoor living space is approximately 23,476 square-feet (or 179 square-feet per unit based on 131 dwelling units). This common open space is included within the spaces shown in Table 2 below. Attachment F, Landscape Plans and Attachments E-1 though E-3) Perspective Views provide conceptual design details and sample exhibits for the common open space areas.

Location Square footage
Roof Deck 9,770
Pool Plaza 7,380
Spa Plaza 5,356
Upper Lounge 527
Total Open Space 23,476

Landscape Plan: The Preliminary Landscape Plan (Attachment F) includes proposed plant and tree palettes and is conceptual at this time. The project’s consistency with the development standards for landscaping is included within Attachment I-2.

The proposed landscaping plan substantially complies with the requirements for parking lot landscaping. The landscaping plan indicates that 12.5% (or 5,256 square-feet) of landscaping is provided within the parking lot, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 7% landscaping in the parking lot. The landscaping plan also indicates that 10% (or 18,678 square feet) of the entire site is landscaped. Within the parking area, 50% of the trees are required to be evergreen. The project exceeds this requirement by providing 78% evergreen trees.

The proposed landscaping will consist of a combination of trees, shrub areas, and accent plants.

The landscape plan consists of a total of 83 trees and a variety of shrubs that will be planted throughout the site. The proposed trees include Olive, London Plane, Golden rain, Maidenhair, Purple Trumpet Fern Pine, and two species of Palm trees. The proposed landscaping will be drought-tolerant and will be required to adhere to the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping Ordinance and the Redlands Municipal Code landscaping requirements.

The proposed landscaping plan substantially complies with the requirements for parking lot landscaping; however, the proposed mix of tree sizes does not comply. A condition of approval will require a detailed tree planting plan prior to permit issuance, to ensure appropriate sizes of the required trees.

G) Tentative Parcel Map
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475 (Attachment G) would consolidate all seventeen properties, then subdivide to create two new lots for development purposes: Lot No. 1 for the apartment building, and Lot No. 2 for the commercial buildings. Both proposed lots will comply with the C-3 development standards.

I) Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study
Measure U includes the requirement to prepare a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study. This requirement generally applies to projects with new construction of over 5,000 square feet of floor area. On October 19, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8269 determining that the proposed project (as mixed use and transit-oriented development) was exempt from Measure “U.” Based upon this determination, the project is not required to prepare a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study.

Nevertheless, staff has prepared a Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study for informational purposes. According to the Cost/Benefit Model used by the City, upon full development of the project, it can be expected to provide the City approximately $163,940 in annual revenue with annual costs of $93,666 resulting in a positive balance of $70,274 net new revenues annually (i.e., a positive cost/benefit ratio of +1.73) over the period for years 2023 through 2032. For every $1.00 the City will spend in providing public services and infrastructure for the project, the City can anticipate the future revenue to be generated to be approximately $1.73 (i.e., net new revenue of $0.73 on average). The City’s new one-cent sales tax on certain retail goods that was implemented in 2021 (and not included in the cost/benefit model) will provide additional revenue.

Annual Residential Revenue/Cost Ratio 1.31
Annual Non-Residential Revenue/Cost Ratio 6.49
Total Annual Revenue/Cost Ratio 1.73

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Initial Study & Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment: The Initial Study (Attachment K-1) prepared for the project is based on Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and includes all the standard topics of analysis including: aesthetics; air quality; cultural resources; energy; geology and soils; greenhouse gas emissions; hazards and hazardous materials; hydrology and water quality; land use and planning; noise; population and housing; public services; transportation; tribal cultural resources; and utilities and service systems. The document was prepared using the appropriate criteria and thresholds for a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) in compliance with CEQA, which is similar in appearance to a Mitigated Negative Declaration used for many types of development projects.

Mitigation Measures: The Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Program (Attachment K-2) includes a total of five (5) mitigation measures pertaining to Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology & Soils, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. All mitigation measures and project design features pertain to the construction phases of the project, and will ensure that the design features pertain to the construction phases of the project, and will ensure that the environmental effects of the project will remain less than significant. No mitigation measures are necessary for any operational aspects of the project or will need future monitoring. After mitigation, no potentially significant impacts were identified as a result of the project, and the mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project as mandatory Conditions of Approval.

Public Comments: The City received a total of five (5) public comment letters during the 30-day public review/comment period. The letters were received from the parties listed below:

Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians;
Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation;
OmniTrans;
Philip Terhorst, an adjacent property owner; and
T. Allen Jolliff, a Redlands resident.

All comments have been reviewed by the City’s environmental consultant, and the consultant has prepared a Response to Comments document that includes all comments and detailed responses (see Attachment K-3). There is no information or substantial evidence before the City indicating any potentially significant environmental effects may occur as a result of the proposed project. The proposed mitigation measures are adequate to address all environmental impacts of the project, and the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) is the appropriate environmental document and determination for the project.

Errata: A minor revision has been made to the SCEA document that was circulated for public review/comment. The Errata (Attachment K-4) provides a minor text addition to clearly identify the appropriate figure number that was referenced by a noise mitigation measure (MM N-1). This revision does not alter any impact analysis or conclusions as discussed in the SCEA.

FINDINGS
The relevant Findings for all requested entitlements are included in the resolutions attached to this staff report.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the analysis above, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the environmental document (Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment) for the project, approve Conditional Use Permit No. 1138, and approve Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475.

MOTIONS
If the Planning Commission deems it appropriate, staff recommends the following motions. “I move to adopt Resolution No. 1585 and adopt the Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment document prepared for the proposed project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act”; and
“I move to adopt Resolution No. 1586 and approve Conditional Use Permit No. 1138 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 20475 for the City Center mixed use project.” Attachments

All new landscape areas will include high efficiency methods with low precipitation rates in order to maximize water retention and dispersion to the plant root zones All planters will use drip irrigation. A smart irrigation controller capable of rain shutoff will also be incorporated into the design. Shredded wood mulch will be used in order to reduce water loss due to evaporation An irrigation schedule will be provided in order to program the controller. Two irrigation schedules will be provided, one for the plant establishment period and one for on-going landscape maintenance once the plants are established. All new irrigation systems will comply with the current City of Redlands Ordinance & Standards, AB 1881 (MWELO) and for low water usage requirements. Refer to "Irrigation System Design Statement" on this sheet. IRRIGATION CONCEPT STATEMENT A permanent automatic, weather/ET-based irrigation system shall be designed and installed to irrigate all planting areas. The design of the system will emphasize water conservation and provide efficient and uniform distribution of irrigation water. Dripline or other low-volume, low-pressure micro-irrigation system as approved by the city of Redlands, shall be installed in planter areas to provide water directly to the root zones of plants. The root watering system bubblers with PC screens for trees shall be separated from other irrigation systems. The irrigation system may utilize efficient rotator nozzles in large planting areas, subject to the approval of the City. The automatic irrigation system shall be designed in accordance with the City of Redlands Ordinance & Standards. For sites utilizing potable water for landscape irrigation, a reduced pressure backflow preventer shall be installed after the water meter to protect the potable water supply in accordance with the State of California, City of Redlands standards and requirements.

1 1 INTRODUCTION
This Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) has been prepared pursuant to Section 21155.2 of the California Public Resources Code (PRC).

1.1 Project Description Summary
The subject of this SCEA is a proposed mixed-use development known as the City Center Project (Project; proposed Project). The Project site is comprised of multiple parcels bordered by commercial buildings, singlefamily residences, W Citrus Avenue, Brookside Avenue, and Eureka Street. The Project site is currently vacant but has been previously graded.

The Project proposes the development of one four-story apartment building with 131 multi-family dwelling units and three restaurant pads on the 3.03-acre site.

1.2 Background Information on Senate Bill 375 and the SCEA The State of California adopted Senate Bill 375 (SB 375), also known as “The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008,” which outlines growth strategies that better integrate regional land use and transportation planning, and that help meet the State’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction mandates.

SB 375 requires the State’s 18 metropolitan planning organizations to incorporate a “sustainable communities strategy” (SCS) into the regional transportation plans to achieve their respective region’s GHG emission reduction targets set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Correspondingly, SB 375 provides various California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) streamlining provisions for projects that are consistent with an adopted applicable SCS and meet certain objective criteria. One such CEQA streamlining tools is the SCEA.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) is the metropolitan planning organization for the County of San Bernardino (along with the Counties of Los Angeles, Imperial, Riverside, Orange, and Ventura). On September 3, 2020, SCAG’s Regional Council adopted the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020-2045 RTP/SCS). For the SCAG region, CARB has set GHG emission reduction targets at 19 percent per capita reduction by 2035 relative to 2005 levels.

The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS outlines strategies to meet or exceed the targets set by CARB. By Executive Order G-20-239, approved on October 30, 2020, CARB officially determined that the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS would achieve CARB’s 2035 emission reduction targets.

SB 375 allows the City of Redlands, acting as Lead Agency, to prepare a SCEA as the environmental CEQA clearance for “transit priority projects” (as described below) that are consistent with SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS.

1.3 Transit Priority Project Criteria
SB 375 provides CEQA streamlining benefits to qualifying transit priority projects (TPPs). For purposes of projects in the SCAG region, a qualifying TPP is a project that meets the following four criteria (see PRC 21155 (a) and (b)):
• Is consistent with the general use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in the SCAG 2020-2045 RTP/SCS; • Contains at least 50 percent residential use, based on total building square footage and, if the project contains between 26 and 50 percent nonresidential uses, a floor area ratio of not less than

0.75;
• Provides a minimum net density of at least 20 dwelling units per acre; and • Is within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor included in a regional transportation plan.

2 1.4 SCEA Process and Streamlining Provisions
Qualifying TPPs that have incorporated all feasible and applicable mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria set forth in the prior applicable EIR (SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS Program EIR), and that are determined to not result in significant and unavoidable environmental impacts, may be approved with a SCEA. The specific substantive and procedural requirements for the approval of a SCEA include the following:

1. An initial study shall be prepared for a SCEA to identify all significant impacts or potentially significant impacts of the TPP, except for the following:
a. Growth-inducing impacts, and
b. Project-specific or cumulative impacts from cars and light trucks on global warming or the regional transportation network.

Note: all relevant and feasible 2020-2045 RTP/SCS Program EIR mitigation measures shall be incorporated into the Project prior to conducting the initial study analysis.

2. The initial study shall identify any cumulative impacts that have been adequately addressed and mitigated in a prior applicable certified EIR. Where the lead agency determines the impact has been adequately addressed and mitigated, the impact shall not be cumulatively considerable.

3. The SCEA shall contain mitigation measures that either avoid or mitigate to a level of insignificance all potentially significant or significant effects of the project required to be identified in the initial study.

4. A draft of the SCEA shall be circulated for a public comment period of no less than 30 days, and the lead agency shall consider all comments received prior to acting on the SCEA.

5. The SCEA may be approved by the lead agency after the lead agency’s legislative body conducts a public hearing, reviews comments received, and finds the following:
a. All potentially significant or significant effects required to be identified in the initial study have been identified and analyzed, and
b. With respect to each significant effect on the environment required to be identified in the initial study, either of the following apply:
i. Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the project that avoid or mitigate the significant effects to a level of insignificance. ii. Those changes or alterations that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and have been, or can and should be, adopted by that other agency.

6. The lead agency’s decision to review and approve a TPP with a SCEA shall be reviewed under the substantial evidence standard.

35 4 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

CRITERIA

4.1 Senate Bill 375
The State of California adopted SB 375, the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 to outline growth strategies and better integrate regional land use and transportation planning, which will help the State meet its GHG reduction mandates. SB 375 requires that the State’s 18 metropolitan planning organizations incorporate a “sustainable communities strategy” with their respective regional transportation plans to achieve their respective region’s GHG emissions reduction targets set by CARB. SCAG is the metropolitan planning organization that has jurisdiction over the Project site.

For the SCAG region, pursuant to SB 375, CARB set GHG emissions reduction targets that were updated in 2018 to a 19 percent reduction by 2035 in per capita passenger vehicle GHG emissions.

On September 3, 2020, SCAG adopted the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020-2045 RTP/SCS): Connect SoCal. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS outlines strategies that meet or exceed these targets set by CARB. On October 30, 2020, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65080(b)(2)(J)(ii) and via Executive Order G-20-239, CARB accepted SCAG’s determination that its 2020-2045 RTP/SCS would, if implemented, achieve CARB’s GHG reduction targets. In addition to the GHG reduction targets set by CARB, the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS includes strategies for accommodating projected population, housing, and employment growth in the region. As a Land Use Tool, the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS identifies Priority Growth Areas (PGAs) throughout the SCAG region where 2020-2045 RTP/SCS strategies can be fully realized. These PGAs include Job Centers, transit priority areas (TPAs), High Quality Transit Areas (HQTAs), Neighborhood Mobility Areas (NMAs), Livable Corridors, and Spheres of Influence.

These PGAs account for only 4 percent of region’s total land area, but implementation of SCAG’s growth strategies will help these areas accommodate an estimated 64 percent of forecasted household growth and 74 percent of forecasted employment growth between 2016 and 2045.

4.2 Transit Priority Project Criteria
SB 375 provides CEQA streamlining benefits to transit priority projects (TPPs). A TPP is a project that meets the following four criteria (PRC Section 21155(a) and (b)):

1. Is consistent with the use designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the project area in SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS;

2. Contains at least 50 percent residential use, based on total building square footage and, if the project contains between 26 and 50 percent nonresidential uses, a floor area ratio of no less than 0.75;

3. Provides a minimum net density of at least 20 units per acre; and

4. Is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor included in the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS.

Consistency with Criterion 1: Project uses designation, density, building intensity, and applicable policies specified for the Project Area in SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS.

Use Designation, Density, and Building Intensity
As discussed above, for the SCAG region, CARB has set GHG emission reduction targets to 19 percent below 2005 per capita emission levels by 2035. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS outlines strategies that meet or exceed these targets set by CARB and balances Southern California’s regional future mobility and housing needs with economic, environmental, and public health goals. On October 3, 2020, CARB accepted SCAG’s quantification of GHG emission reductions from the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS and its determination that the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS would, if implemented, achieve the 2035 GHG emission reduction targets established by CARB.

SCEA
City of Redlands City Center Project
36 For the reasons stated below, the Project is consistent with the land use designation, density, and building intensity of the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS.

Land Use Designation
The proposed Project would be consistent with the land use patterns promoted by the Connect SoCal Forecasted Regional Development Pattern. The Project site, which is within one-half mile from a planning major transit stop, is in an area that is considered by SCAG as a Priority Growth Area. The Project site is in an area that is considered a Priority Growth Area as it is in a 2045 HQTA, Neighborhood Mobility Area, and inside job centers. Furthermore, the Project would not be located in any absolutely constrained areas such as on agricultural land, open space, or on tribal lands.

The Project proposes to construct a new mixed-use development consisting of multi-family residential units and restaurant uses. The Project would also develop a ground floor parking garage located beneath the proposed residential building. The Project includes 131 multifamily dwelling units and 23,476 SF of amenity space consisting of a 9,770 SF roof deck, a 7,380 SF Pool Plaza, a 5,356 SF Spa Plaza, and a 527 SF Upper Lounge. The Project also proposes 10,550 SF of restaurant space on the corner of Eureka Street and Brookside Avenue.

Density/Building Intensity
The Project site is located within an urbanized area within the City of Redlands, in the Downtown Redlands area. The Project is an infill, mixed-use Project that proposes a residential density of approximately 45.6 dwelling units per acre. The 2020-2045 RTP/SCS identifies the HQTAs as appropriate for including highdensity development, supporting pedestrian and bike infrastructure, reducing parking requirements, and retaining affordable housing near transit.

The Project site is located within a HQTA, as defined by SCAG, and a Transit Priority Area (TPA), as defined by SB 743, which supports transit opportunities and promotes a walkable environment. The Project site is well served by public transit, including the San Bernardino County Transit Authority’s Arrow Line Downtown Station; and the Project’s location along a mixed-use corridor and proposed onsite commercial and residential uses would encourage the use of transit, walking, and bicycling. Consistent with land within a HQTA, the Project would provide mixed-use development, including housing, on an infill, vacant site.

The proposed Project promotes pedestrian activity and bicycling activity by providing landscaping along the public right-of-way, outdoor open space, and walking paths. The proposed Project is similar to other developments within a HQTA in other jurisdictions.

Applicable Policies
The Project is consistent with applicable goals and policies presented within SCAG’s 2020-2045 RTP/SCS, as shown by the consistency analysis presented in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1. Consistency Analysis with the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS Policies Goals and Policies Consistency Assessment
Connect SoCal Goals
Goal 1: Encourage regional economic prosperity
and global competitiveness.

Not Applicable. This Goal is directed at SCAG
and the City of Redlands and does not apply to
the proposed Project. This strategy calls on
encouraging regional economic prosperity and
global competitiveness. The proposed Project
would not interfere with such policymaking.

Goal 2: Improve mobility, accessibility,
reliability, and travel safety for people and
goods.

Consistent. The Project site is located in an
urbanized are within the City of Redlands. The
Project proposes to construct a new mixed-use
development consisting of multi-family residential
SCEA
City of Redlands City Center Project
37 units and restaurant uses. The Project would also
develop a ground floor parking garage located
beneath the proposed residential building. The
Project includes 131 multifamily dwelling units
and 23,476 square feet (SF) of amenity space
consisting of a 9,770 SF roof deck, a 7,380 SF
pool plaza, a 5,356 SF spa plaza, and a 527 SF
upper lounge. The Project also proposes 10,550
SF of restaurant space on the corner of Eureka
Street and Brookside Avenue in a HQTA and TPA.

The Project site is located less than one-quarter
mile from the Arrow Line Rail Station in Downtown
Redlands, which is currently under construction.

The proposed Project would provide residents,
employees, and visitors with convenient access to
public transit and opportunities for biking and
walking. The location of the Project encourages a
variety of transportation options and access and
is therefore consistent with this Goal.

Goal 3: Enhance the preservation, security, and
resilience of the regional transportation system.

Consistent. The Project would improve public
safety infrastructure near the Project site by
providing new lighting within the Project site and
around the perimeter, including new building
identification lighting, commercial accent lighting,
wayfinding, balcony lighting, and security
lighting. Pedestrian areas would include
pathways and entryways into the Project would
be well lit for security. Pedestrian access to the
site would be distinct from vehicle driveways and
the Project would not mix pedestrian and
automobile traffic to ensure pedestrian safety.

The Project would be subject to Site Plan review
to ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety
throughout the Project.

Goal 4: Increase person and goods movement
and travel choices within the transportation
system.

Not Applicable. This strategy calls on SCAG to
increase person and goods movement and travel
choices across the transportation system. The
proposed Project would not interfere with this
goal.

Goal 5: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
improve air quality.

Consistent. The Project would result in criteria air
pollutant and GHG emissions during construction
and operation. However, emissions would not
exceed the SCAQMD significance thresholds and
would be consistent with the City’s Climate Action
Plan.

Goal 6: Support healthy and equitable
communities.

Consistent. The Project would be consistent with
this Goal by facilitating the use of alternative
modes of transportation, which would aid in
reducing car trips and positively impact air
quality. The Project includes bicycle parking
spaces and bicycle storage rooms for the
SCEA
City of Redlands City Center Project
38 residential and commercial uses within the Project.

The project would encourage pedestrian travel
by incorporating new residential and commercial
uses onsite within a mixed-use development as
well as locating the Project in an urban area
surrounding by a diverse mix of land uses.

Additionally, the Project would provide a mix of
housing units in order to encourage equitable
access to transit.

Goal 7: Adapt to a changing climate and support
an integrated regional development pattern and
transportation network.

Not Applicable. This goal is directed towards
SCAG and does not apply to individual
development projects. The proposed Project
would be located in proximity to public transit
opportunities.

Goal 8: Leverage new transportation
technologies and data-driven solutions that result
in more efficient travel.

Not Applicable. This Goal is directed towards
SCAG and does not apply to the proposed
Project. This strategy calls on SCAG to use new
transportation technologies and data-driven
solutions to increase efficiency. The proposed
Project would not interfere with this goal.

Goal 9: Encourage development of diverse
housing types in areas that are supported by
multiple transportation options.

Consistent. The proposed project would construct
approximately 131 apartment units and condos
which would include studios, one-bedrooms, and
two-bedrooms. The proposed Project would be
within one-quarter mile of the Downtown
Redlands Arrow Line Station and within feet of
multiple bus line stops.

Goal 10: Promote conservation of natural and
agricultural lands and restoration of habitats.

Consistent. The proposed Project site is currently
vacant but was previously developed with
public/institutional uses. As such, the Project site is fully disturbed. Therefore, the Project would not
encroach on agricultural lands or protected
habitats. As such, the Project would not interfere
with this goal.

Connect SoCal Strategies
Strategy 1: Focus growth near destinations and
mobility options.

Consistent. The proposed Project site is located
in a HQTA, a TPA, neighborhood mobility area,
and near job centers, as defined by SCAG. The
site is located less than 0.5-mile from the Arrow
Line Station in Downtown Redlands, which is slated
for completion by 2022. Additionally, there are
multiple bus lines with stops adjacent to the
proposed Project.

Strategy 2: Promote diverse housing choices. Consistent. The proposed Project would develop 131 apartment units which would include studios,
one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms in order to
provide a diverse amount of housing choices.

Strategy 3: Leverage technology innovations. Not Applicable. This strategy is directed to SCAG and jurisdictions and does not apply to the
SCEA
City of Redlands City Center Project
39 proposed Project. This strategy aims to promote
low emission technologies, improve access to
services through technology, and identify ways to
incorporate micro power grids into communities.

The proposed Project would not interfere with this
strategy.

Strategy 4: Support implementation of
sustainability policies.

Consistent. The proposed Project would
incorporate Green Building Measures, including
water efficient landscaping, efficient lighting,
low-flush toilets, and energy efficient appliances.

Strategy 5: Promote a Green Region. Consistent. The proposed Project would include open space areas and walkways. Additionally,
the development would emphasize sustainability
features that promote more resource efficient
development. The Project site is also located
within 0.5-mile from the Arrow Line Station at
Downtown Redlands.

Consistency with Criterion 2: Based on total building square footage, the Project contains at least 50 percent residential use, and if the Project contains between 26 and 50 percent nonresidential uses, a floor area of not less than 0.75.

Criterion 2A: Project contains at least 50 percent residential use Based on the total building square footage, the Project contains at least 50 percent residential use. Table 4-2 shows the proposed land uses, dwelling units, total square feet, and percentage of use for the site. The Project would include 134,616 SF of residential use (including residential amenities) and 10,550 SF of restaurant space.

Table 4-2. Proposed Land Use
Land Use Units/Square Feet Percentage of Use
Residential & Residential
Amenity
131 units, 134,616 SF 92.7%
Commercial/Restaurant 10,550 SF 7.3%
Total Floor Area 145,166 SF 100%
As shown on Table 4-2, overall, the Project includes a total floor area of approximately 134,616 square feet with approximately 92.7 percent dedicated to residential uses. Residential uses would include approximately 110,648 SF of unit floor area and up to 131 dwelling units, including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms.

New commercial space with restaurant uses would be approximately 7.3 percent of uses, as 10,550 SF of commercial uses would be developed.

Criterion 2B: Project would have a density of at least 20 units per acre.

The Project includes a minimum net density of at least 20 units per acre. The Project site consists of 17 parcels that combine for a total of approximately 3.03-acres. Therefore, the Project would provide up to 131 residential units for a density of approximately 45.6 du/acre. Accordingly, the Project would exceed the required net density of at least 20 dwelling units per acre. Therefore, the Project would be consistent with Criterion 2B.

City of Redlands City Center Project
40 Criterion 2C: The Project is located within one-half mile of a major transit stop or high-quality transit corridor included in the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS.

The Project site is located within one-half mile of either a major transit stop that contains an existing rail station, a ferry terminal served by transit, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during peak commute periods; or a high-quality transit corridor that has fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours, as shown on Figure 4-1, Transit Priority Areas.

A major transit stop is defined as a “site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods” and is included in the applicable regional transportation plan (PRC Sections 21064.3 and 21155(b)). A highquality transit corridor is a “corridor with fixed route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours” (PRC Section 21155(b)).

The Project site is 0.26-mile south of the Arrow Line Station in Downtown Redlands. The Arrow Line provides a connection to the University of Redlands, ESRI campus, and San Bernardino. While the Arrow Line is still under construction, station would be complete prior to buildout of the proposed Project. As such, the Project is located within 0.5-mile of a major transit stop and would be consistent with Criterion 2C.

43 5 INCORPORATION OF 2020-2045 RTP/SCS PROGRAM EIR

MITIGATION MEASURES

5.1 Incorporation of Feasible Mitigation Measures, Performance Standards, and Criteria from Prior Applicable EIRs
Public Resources Code (PRC) Sections 21155.2 and 21159.28(a) require that a TPP incorporate all feasible mitigation measures, performance standards, or criteria from prior applicable EIRs, which for the Project would include the 2020-2045 RTP/SCS Program Environmental Impact Report for Southern California Association of Governments, which was certified May 7, 2020 (RTP/SCS PEIR). It is the intent of SCAG that lead agencies and others use the information contained within the PEIR in order to “tier” subsequent environmental documentation of projects in the region.

The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the RTP/SCS PEIR (SCAG MMRP) does not include project level mitigation measures that are required to be incorporated into the Project. However, the SCAG MMRP does provide a list of mitigation measures that SCAG determined a lead agency can and should consider, as applicable and feasible, where the lead agency has concluded that a project has the potential to result in significant effects. The City of Redlands has complied with PRC Section 21155.2 and 21159.28.

The RTP/SCS PEIR serves as an informational document to inform decision-makers and the public of the potential environmental consequences of approving the proposed RTP/SCS. The RTP/SCS PEIR includes mitigation measures designed to help avoid or minimize significant environmental impacts. The RTP/SCS PEIR serves as a first-tier document for later CEQA review of individual projects included in the program.

The City has reviewed all mitigation measures contained in the RTP/SCS PEIR (and determined their applicability) to the Project. For each such mitigation measure, the City considered whether to use the RTP/SCS PEIR mitigation measure or an equally effective City mitigation measure or federal, State, regional, or City regulation. The City’s applicability determination is found in Table 5-1, Project Consistency with 2020-2045 RTP/SCS Mitigation Measures. As indicated in Table 5-1, the City has incorporated an equally or more effective Project-specific mitigation measure or federal, State, regional, or City regulation, or has for other reasons determined that incorporation of the SCAG 2020 RTP/SCS MMRP mitigations measures is not required.

p) As appropriate require that portable engines and portable engine-driven equipment units used at the project work site, with the exception of on-road and off-road motor vehicles, obtain CARB Portable Equipment Registration with the state or a local district permit. Arrange appropriate consultations with the CARB or the District to determine registration and permitting requirements prior to equipment operation at the site.
q) Require projects to use Tier 4 Final equipment or better for all engines above 50 horsepower (hp). In the event that construction equipment cannot meet to Tier 4 Final engine certification, the Project representative or contractor must demonstrate through future study with written findings supported by substantial evidence that is approved by SCAG before using other technologies/strategies. Alternative applicable strategies may include, but would not be limited to, construction equipment with Tier 4 Interim or reduction in the number and/or horsepower rating of construction equipment and/or limiting the number of construction equipment operating at the same time. All equipment must be tuned and maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and specifications. All maintenance records for each equipment and their contractor(s) should make available for inspection and remain on-site for a period of at least two years from completion of construction, unless the individual project can demonstrate that Tier 4 engines would not be required to mitigate emissions below significance thresholds. Project sponsors should also consider including ZE/ZNE technologies where appropriate and feasible.
r. Projects located within the South Coast Air Basin should consider applying for South Coast AQMD “SOON” funds which provides funds to applicable fleets for the purchase of commercially available .low-emission heavy-duty engines to achieve near-term reduction of NOx emissions from in-use off-road diesel vehicles. s. Projects located within AB 617 communities should review the applicable Community Emissions Reduction Plan (CERP) for additional mitigation that can be applied to individual projects.
t. Where applicable, projects should provide information about air quality related programs to schools, including the Environmental Justice Community Partnerships cubic meter (μg/m3) and restricts the tracking out of
bulk materials onto public roads. Additionally,
projects must utilize one or more of the best available control measures (identified in the tables within the
rule). Dust control measures may include adding
freeboard to haul vehicles, covering loose material
on haul vehicles, watering, using chemical stabilizers
and/or ceasing all activities.

PMM BIO-3: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to wetlands. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency.
a) Require project design to avoid federally protected aquatic resources consistent with the provisions of Sections 404 and 401 of the CWA, wherever practicable and feasible.
b) Where the lead agency has identified that a project, or other regionally significant project, has the potential to impact other wetlands or waters, such as those considered Waters Of the State of California under the State Wetland Definition and Procedures for Dischargers of Dredged or Fill Material to Waters of the State, not protected under Section 404 or 401 of the CWA, seek comparable coverage for these wetlands and waters in consultation with the SWRCB, applicable RWQCB, and CDFW.
c) Where avoidance is determined to be infeasible, develop sufficient conservation measures to fulfill the requirements of the applicable authorization for impacts to federal and state protected aquatic resource to support issuance of a permit under Section 404 of the CWA as administered by the USACE. The use of an authorized Nationwide Permit or issuance of an individual permit requires the project applicant to demonstrate compliance with the USACE’s Final Compensatory Mitigation Rule. The USACE reviews projects to ensure environmental impacts to aquatic resources are avoided or minimized as much as possible. Consistent with the administration’s performance standard of “no net loss of wetlands” a USACE permit may require a project proponent to restore, establish, enhance or preserve other aquatic resources in order to replace those affected by the proposed project. This compensatory mitigation process seeks to replace the loss of existing aquatic resource functions and area. Project proponents required to complete mitigation are encouraged to use a watershed approach and watershed planning information. The new rule establishes performance standards, sets timeframes for decision making, and to the extent possible, establishes equivalent requirements and standards for the three sources of compensatory mitigation:
• Permittee-responsible mitigation
• Contribution of in-kind in-lieu fees

PMM BIO-4: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to wildlife movement. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Consult with the USFS where impacts to migratory wildlife corridors may occur in an area afforded protection by an adopted Forest Land Management Plan or Resource Management Plan for the four national forests in the six-County area:

Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres, and San Bernardino.
b) Consult with counties, cities, and other local organizations when impacts may occur to open space areas that have been designated as important for wildlife movement related to local ordinances or conservation plans. c) Prohibit construction activities within 500 feet of occupied breeding areas for wildlife afforded protection pursuant to Title 14 § 460 of the California Code of Regulations protecting furbearing mammals, during the breeding season. d) Conduct a survey to identify active raptor and other migratory nongame bird nests by a qualified biologist at least two weeks before the start of construction at project sites from February 1 through August 31.

Sections PMM BIO-4 d through f are applicable to the
proposed Project and would be incorporated through Project specific MM BIO-1.

The Project site is vacant, but fully disturbed and is in an urbanized area in the City of Redlands. No wildlife corridors or native wildlife nursery sites are present on the Project site or in the surrounding area. Further, due to the urbanized nature of the Project area, the potential for native resident or migratory wildlife species movement through the site is extremely limited.

Nonetheless, offsite areas along Brookside Avenue contain multiple ornamental trees that could support raptor and/or songbird nests. Migratory nongame native bird species are protected under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (50 CFR Section 10.13). California Fish and Wildlife Code Sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 prohibit take of all birds and their active nests (as listed under the Federal MBTA).

The removal of vegetation with nesting birds during the breeding season is considered a potentially significant impact.

The Applicant will be required to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure that no significant impacts to nesting birds would occur due to the removal of the SCEA

g) When feasible and practicable, proposed projects will be designed to minimize impacts to wildlife movement and habitat connectivity and preserve existing and functional wildlife corridors.
h) Conduct site-specific analyses of opportunities to preserve or improve habitat linkages with areas on- and off-site.
i) Long linear projects with the possibility of impacting wildlife movement should analyze habitat linkages/wildlife movement corridors on a broad scale to avoid critical narrow choke points that could reduce function of recognized movement corridor.
j) Require review of construction drawings and habitat connectivity mapping by a qualified biologist to determine the risk of habitat fragmentation. k) Pursue mitigation banking to preserve habitat linkages and corridors (opportunities to purchase, maintain, and/or restore offsite habitat). l) When practicable and feasible design projects to promote wildlife corridor redundancy by including multiple connections between habitat patches. m) Evaluate the potential for installation of overpasses, underpasses, and culverts to create wildlife crossings in cases where a roadway or other transportation project may interrupt the flow of species through their habitat. Provide wildlife crossings in accordance with proven standards, such as FHWA’s Critter Crossings or Ventura County Mitigation Guidelines and in consultation with wildlife corridor authorities.
n) Install wildlife fencing where appropriate to minimize the probability of wildlife injury due to direct interaction between wildlife and roads or construction. o) Where avoidance is determined to be infeasible, design sufficient conservation measures through coordination with local agencies and the regulatory agency (i.e., USFWS or CDFW) and in accordance with the respective counties and cities general plans to establish plans to mitigate for the loss of fish and wildlife movement corridors and/or wildlife nursery sites. The consideration of conservation existing trees located on the Project site. As included in Projectspecific MM BIO-1, construction plans and Project specifications shall state that if construction or other Project activities are scheduled to occur during the bird breeding season (February through August for raptors and March
through August for most migratory bird species), a pre‐ construction nesting bird survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to ensure that active bird nests, will not be disturbed or destroyed. The survey shall be completed no more than three days prior to initial ground disturbance. The nesting bird survey shall include the Project are and adjacent areas where proposed Project activities have the potential to affect active nests, either directly or indirectly due to construction activity or noise. If an active nest is identified, a qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate disturbance limit buffer around the nest using flagging or staking.

Construction activities shall not occur within any disturbance limit buffer zones until the nest is deemed inactive by the qualified biologist.

Therefore, with adherence to existing regulations and
incorporation of Project-specific MM BIO-1, impacts would be less than significant.

64 Topic 2020-2045 RTP/SCS PEIR Project Level Mitigation Measure Applicability to the Project − Install temporary noise barriers during construction. − Include permanent noise barriers and sound-attenuating features as part of the project design. Barriers could be in the form of outdoor barriers, sound walls, buildings, or earth berms to attenuate noise at adjacent sensitive uses. − Ensure that construction equipment are properly maintained per manufacturers’ specifications and fitted with the best available noise suppression devices (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine enclosures, and acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds silencers, wraps). All intake and exhaust ports on power equipment shall be muffled or shielded. − Use hydraulically or electrically powered tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and rock drills) for project construction to avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from pneumatically powered tools. However, where use of pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler on the compressed air exhaust should be used; this muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust by up to about 10 dBA. External jackets on the tools themselves should be used, if such jackets are commercially available, and this could achieve a further reduction of 5 dBA. Quieter procedures should be used, such as drills rather than impact equipment, whenever such procedures are available and consistent with construction procedures.
− Using rubberized asphalt or “quiet pavement” to reduce road noise for new roadway segments, roadways in which widening or other modifications require repavement, or normal reconstruction of roadways where repavement is planned − Use equipment and trucks with the best available noise control techniques (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine enclosures, and acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds, wherever feasible) for project construction.
− Use techniques such as grade separation, buffer zones, landscaped berms, dense plantings, sound walls, reduced-noise paving materials, and traffic calming measures.

PMM CULT-1: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to historical resources. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5, conduct a record search during the project planning phase at the appropriate Information Center to determine whether the project area has been previously surveyed and whether historical resources were identified.
b) During the project planning phase, retain a qualified architectural historian, defined as an individual who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI) Professional Qualification Standards (PQS) in Architectural History, to conduct historic architectural surveys if a built environment resource greater than 45 years in age may be affected by the project or if recommended by the Information Center.
c) Comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) including, but not limited to, projects for which federal funding or approval is required for the individual project. This law requires federal agencies to evaluate the impact of their actions on resources included in or eligible for listing in the National Register. Federal agencies must coordinate with the State Historic Preservation Officer in evaluating impacts and developing mitigation. These mitigation measures may include, but are not limited to the following:
• Employ design measures to avoid historical resources and undertake adaptive reuse where appropriate and feasible. If resources are to be preserved, as feasible, carry out the maintenance, repair, stabilization, rehabilitation, restoration, preservation, conservation or reconstruction in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. If resources would be impacted, impacts should be minimized to the extent feasible.

PMM CULT-1 measures j through l are applicable to the
proposed Project and are included as Mitigation Measure CUL-1. The records search conducted for the Project site indicated that there are no known cultural resources within the Project site (AA 2018). There are no known historical resources located onsite. The Phase I ESAs prepared for the Project site include aerial photographs that detail that the site was used for commercial uses and public/institutional uses since 1925.

The Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation conducted for the Project site describes that onsite testing identified artificial fill soils of seven feet in depth across the site.

Project construction would include overexcavation to a depth of at least 11 feet below ground surface (bgs) as part of development of the proposed building foundations. Project grading has the potential to encroach into native soils that have not been previously disturbed and could contain
archaeological resources. As such, Mitigation Measure CUL-1 requires retention of an archaeologist that would observe ground disturbing activities and recover archaeological resources as necessary. In addition, the archaeologist would be present at the pre-grading conference to establish
procedures for archeological resource surveillance. Mitigation CUL-1would also halt work within 50 feet of a find until it can be evaluated by the qualified on-call archaeologist.

Construction activities could continue in other areas. If the discovery proves to be significant, additional work, such as data recovery excavation, may be warranted and shall be discussed in consultation with the appropriate regulatory agency(ies). With implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL1, impacts related to archaeological resources would be less than significant.

d) If a project requires the relocation, rehabilitation, or alteration of an eligible historical resource, the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties should be used to the maximum extent possible to ensure the historical significance of the resource is not impaired. The application of the standards should be overseen by an architectural historian or historic architect meeting the SOI PQS. Prior to any construction activities that may affect the historical resource, a report, meeting industry standards, should identify and specify the treatment of character-defining features and construction activities and be provided to the Lead Agency for review and approval. e) If a project would result in the demolition or significant alteration of a historical resource eligible for or listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR), or local register, recordation should take the form of Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), or Historic American Landscape Survey (HALS) documentation, and should be performed by an architectural historian or historian who meets the SOI PQS. Recordation should meet the SOI Standards and Guidelines for Architectural and Engineering, which defines the products acceptable for inclusion in the HABS/HAER/HALS collection at the Library of Congress. The specific scope and details of documentation should be developed at the project level in coordination with the Lead Agency. f) During the project planning phase, obtain a qualified archaeologist, defined as one who meets the SOI PQS for archaeology, to conduct a record search at the appropriate Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) to determine whether the project area has been previously surveyed and whether resources were identified.
g) Contact the NAHC to request a Sacred Lands File search and a list of relevant Native American contacts who may have additional information. h) During the project planning phase, obtain a qualified archaeologist or architectural historian (depending on applicability) to conduct archaeological and/or historic architectural surveys as recommended by the qualified professional, the Lead Agency, or the Information Center. In the event the records indicate that no previous survey has been conducted, the qualified professional or Information Center will make a recommendation on whether a survey is warranted based on the sensitivity of the project area for archaeological resources.

69 Topic 2020-2045 RTP/SCS PEIR Project Level Mitigation Measure Applicability to the Project i) If potentially significant archaeological resources are identified through survey, and impacts to these resources cannot be avoided, a Phase II Testing and Evaluation investigation should be performed by a qualified archaeologist prior to any construction-related ground-disturbing activities to determine significance.

If resources determined significant or unique through Phase II testing, and avoidance is not possible, appropriate resource-specific mitigation measures should be established by the lead agency and undertaken by qualified personnel.

These might include a Phase III data recovery program implemented by a qualified archaeologist and performed in accordance with the OHP’s Archaeological Resource Management Reports (ARMR): Recommended Contents and Format and Guidelines for Archaeological Research Designs. Additional options can include 1) interpretative signage, or 2) educational outreach that helps inform the public of the past activities that occurred in this area. Archaeological materials collected from a significant resource should be curated with a recognized scientific or educational repository
j) If a record search or archaeological assessment indicates that the project is located in an area sensitive for archaeological resources, as determined by the Lead Agency in consultation with a qualified archaeologist, retain an archaeological monitor to observe ground disturbing operations, including but not limited to grading, excavation, trenching, or removal of existing features of the subject property. The archaeological monitor should be supervised by an archaeologist meeting the SOI PQS
k) Conduct construction activities and excavation to avoid cultural resources (if identified). If avoidance is not feasible, further work may be needed to determine the importance of a resource. Retain a qualified archaeologist, and/or as appropriate, a qualified architectural historian who should make recommendations regarding the work necessary to assess significance. If the cultural resource is determined to be significant under state or federal guidelines, impacts to the cultural resource will need to be mitigated.
l) Stop construction activities and excavation in the area where cultural resources are found until a qualified archaeologist can determine whether these resources are significant. If the archaeologist determines that the discovery is significant, it should be curated with a recognized scientific or educational repository.

PMM CULT-2: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to human remains. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) In the event of discovery or recognition of any human remains during construction or excavation activities associated with the project, in any location other than a dedicated cemetery, cease further excavation or disturbance of the site or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the coroner of the county in which the remains are discovered has been informed and has determined that no investigation of the cause of death is required. b) If any discovered remains are of Native American origin:
• Contact the County Coroner to contact the NAHC to designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD). The MLD should make a recommendation to the landowner or the person responsible for the excavation work, for means of treating or disposing of, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any associated grave goods. This may include obtaining a qualified archaeologist or team of archaeologists to properly excavate the human remains
• If the NAHC is unable to identify a MLD, or the MLD fails to make a recommendation within 48 hours after being notified by the commission, or the landowner or his representative rejects the recommendation of the MLD and the mediation by the NAHC fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner, obtain a culturally affiliated Native American monitor, and an archaeologist, if recommended by the Native American monitor, and rebury the Native American human remains and any associated grave goods, with appropriate dignity, on the property and in a location that is not subject to further subsurface disturbance.

The Project substantially complies with this mitigation measure.

If human remains are encountered during construction, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, included as PPP CUL1, states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition, pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. If the county coroner concludes that the remains are of Native American descent, the Native American Heritage Commission must be notified within 24 hours, and NAHC guidelines would be
adhered to in the treatment and handling of the remains. With regulatory compliance, included as PPP CUL-1, any potential significant impacts of the Project related to this threshold would be less than significant.

a) Ensure compliance with the Paleontological Resources Preservation Act, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, the Antiquities Act, Section 5097.5 of the Public Resources Code (PRC), adopted county and city general plans, and other federal, state and local regulations, as applicable and feasible, by adhering to and incorporating the performance standards and practices from the 2010 Society for Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) standard procedures for the assessment and mitigation of adverse impacts to paleontological resources. b) Obtain review by a qualified paleontologist (e.g., who meets the SVP standards for a Principal Investigator or Project Paleontologist or the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) standards for a Principal Investigator), to determine if the project has the potential to require ground disturbance of parent material with potential to contain unique paleontological or resources, or to require the substantial alteration of a unique geologic feature. The assessment should include museum records searches, a review of geologic mapping and the scientific literature, geotechnical studies (if available), and potentially a pedestrian survey, if units with paleontological potential are present at the surface. c) Avoid exposure or displacement of parent material with potential to yield unique paleontological resources.
d) Where avoidance of parent material with the potential to yield unique paleontological resources is not feasible:
1) All on-site construction personnel receive Worker Education and Awareness Program (WEAP) training prior to the commencement of excavation work to understand the regulatory framework that provides for protection of paleontological resources and become familiar with diagnostic characteristics of the materials with the potential to be encountered.
2) A qualified paleontologist prepares a Paleontological Resource Management Plan (PRMP) to guide the salvage, documentation and repository of unique paleontological resources encountered during construction. The PRMP should adhere to and incorporate the performance standards and practices from the 2010 SVP Standard procedures for the assessment and mitigation of adverse impacts to paleontological resources. If unique paleontological resources are encountered during construction, use a qualified paleontologist to oversee the implementation of the PRMP.

Like the majority of construction projects, construction of the Project would involve the temporary use of hazardous
substances in the form of paint, adhesives, surface coatings, cleaning materials, fuels and oils. However, all materials would be used, stored, and disposed of in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations and manufacturers’
instructions. Also, construction work would be performed in compliance with applicable federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Safety and Health Standards and CalOSHA requirements to ensure the safety of
construction workers.

As discussed in the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, included as Appendix F1, conducted for 212 Brookside
Avenue, two recognized environmental conditions (RECs) were identified. Based on a review of records at the City of Redlands Department of Building and Safety, an underground diesel fuel storage tank (UST) was removed from the site in 1996. The UST was replaced with an aboveground diesel fuel storage tank. No soil sampling report was found for the removal of this UST. Additionally, during site reconnaissance, significant quantities of used bullet shells and bullet fragments were found inside the now-demolished shooting range room.

o) Report quarterly hazardous commodity flow information, including classification and characterization of materials being transported, to all first response agencies (49 Code Fed. Regs. 15.5) along the mainline rail routes used by trains carrying crude oil identified.

The Phase I Environmental Site Assessment concluded that there is a potential for lead from bullets accumulating in soil within the shooting range. As such, a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was conducted with soils testing. Soils testing results indicated low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons in soils in two samples and low concentrations of lead. However, these concentrations were below the Department of Toxic Substances (DTSC) residential and commercial limits. As such, the Phase II Environmental Site Assessment concluded that no additional testing was needed. Therefore, impacts related to the former UST and shooting range would be less than
significant.

Operation of the Project’s residential and commercial uses would involve the use and storage of small quantities of potentially hazardous materials in the form of typical cleaning solvents, painting supplies, pesticides for landscaping, and pool maintenance. The use of these materials would be in small quantities and in accordance with the manufacturers’
instructions for use, storage, and disposal of such products.

Therefore, with compliance with applicable regulations, the Project’s potential impacts would be less than significant.

Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Ensure that all roadbeds for new highway and rail facilities be elevated at least one foot above the 100-year base flood elevation. Since alluvial fan flooding is not often identified on FEMA flood maps, the risk of alluvial fan flooding should be evaluated and projects should be sited to avoid alluvial fan flooding.

Delineation of floodplains and alluvial fan boundaries should attempt to account for future hydrologic changes caused by global climate change.

According to FEMA flood insurance rate maps, a portion the Project site is located within flood Zone AO, which would have an approximate flood depth of 1 foot. However, the Project is required to comply with City Municipal Code Chapter

15.32, which includes regulations for development within flood hazard areas. Regulations include requiring any new
occupiable finished floor to be 2 feet above the 100-year flood elevation. With adherence to Municipal Code Chapter

15.32, the Project would not risk release of pollutants due to inundation in a flood hazard zone. Additionally, the Project site is not located in a seiche or tsunami flood hazard area.

Impact HYD-5: Conflict with or
obstruct implementation of a water
quality control plan or sustainable
groundwater management plan.

permanent increase in ambient
noise levels in the vicinity of the
project in excess of standards
established in the local general
plan or noise ordinance, or
applicable standards of other
agencies.

PMM NOISE-1: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects that physically divide a community, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Install temporary noise barriers during construction. b) Include permanent noise barriers and sound-attenuating features as part of the project design. Barriers could be in the form of outdoor barriers, sound walls, buildings, or earth berms to attenuate noise at adjacent sensitive uses. c) Schedule construction activities consistent with the allowable hours pursuant to applicable general plan noise element or noise ordinance d) Post procedures and phone numbers at the construction site for notifying the Lead Agency staff, local Police Department, and construction contractor (during regular construction hours and off-hours), along with permitted construction days and hours, complaint procedures, and who to notify in the event of a problem. e) Notify neighbors and occupants within 300 feet of the project construction area at least 30 days in advance of anticipated times when noise levels are expected to exceed limits established in the noise element of the general plan or noise ordinance.
f) Designate an on-site construction complaint and enforcement manager for the project.
g) Ensure that construction equipment is properly maintained per manufacturers’ specifications and fitted with the best available noise suppression devices (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine enclosures, and acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds silencers, wraps). All intake and exhaust ports on power equipment shall be muffled or shielded. h) Use hydraulically or electrically powered tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and rock drills) for project construction to avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from pneumatically powered tools. However, where use of pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler on the compressed air exhaust should be used; this muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust by up to about 10 dBA. External jackets on the tools themselves should be used, if such jackets are commercially available, and this could achieve a further reduction of 5 dBA. Quieter procedures should be used, such as drills rather than impact The Project’s impacts would be less than significant as a result of the implementation of regulatory compliance measures.

Nevertheless, the Project substantially conforms to this mitigation measure. The Project is required to comply with regulatory control measures in City of Redlands Municipal Code Section 8.06.120, which regulates noise from
construction activities (e.g. construction activities will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays, including Saturdays, with no activities taking place on Sundays or federal holidays; Municipal Code Section 8.06.070, which sets exterior noise limits based on land use; and Municipal Code Section 8.06.080, which sets interior noise limits based on land use. Additionally, procedures and phone numbers would be posted at the construction site for notifying City of Redlands staff, Redlands Police Department, and the construction contractor to notify regarding complaints.

i) Where feasible, design projects so that they are depressed below the grade of the existing noise-sensitive receptor, creating an effective barrier between the roadway and sensitive receptors.
j) Where feasible, improve the acoustical insulation of dwelling units where setbacks and sound barriers do not provide sufficient noise reduction. k) Using rubberized asphalt or “quiet pavement” to reduce road noise for new roadway segments, roadways in which widening or other modifications require repavement, or normal reconstruction of roadways where re-pavement is planned l) Projects that require pile driving or other construction noise above 90 dBA in proximity to sensitive receptors, should reduce potential pier drilling, pile driving and/or other extreme noise generating construction impacts greater than 90 dBA; a set of site-specific noise attenuation measures should be completed under the supervision of a qualified acoustical consultant.
m) Use land use planning measures, such as zoning, restrictions on development, site design, and buffers to ensure that future development is compatible with adjacent transportation facilities and land uses;
n) Monitor the effectiveness of noise reduction measures by taking noise measurements and installing adaptive mitigation measures to achieve the standards for ambient noise levels established by the noise element of the general plan or noise ordinance.
o) Use equipment and trucks with the best available noise control techniques (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine enclosures, and acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds, wherever feasible) for project construction.
p) Stationary noise sources can and should be located as far from adjacent sensitive receptors as possible and they should be muffled and enclosed within temporary sheds, incorporate insulation barriers, or use other measures as determined by the Lead Agency (or other appropriate government agency) to provide equivalent noise reduction.
q) Use of portable barriers in the vicinity of sensitive receptors during construction. r) Implement noise control at the receivers by temporarily improving the noise reduction capability of adjacent buildings (for instance by the use of sound SCEA

t) Maximize the distance between noise-sensitive land uses and new roadway lanes, roadways, rail lines, transit centers, park-and-ride lots, and other new noisegenerating facilities. u) Construct sound reducing barriers between noise sources and noise-sensitive land uses.
v) Stationary noise sources can and should be located as far from adjacent sensitive receptors as possible and they should be muffled and enclosed within temporary sheds, incorporate insulation barriers, or use other measures as determined by the Lead Agency (or other appropriate government agency) to provide equivalent noise reduction.
w) Use techniques such as grade separation, buffer zones, landscaped berms, dense plantings, sound walls, reduced-noise paving materials, and traffic calming measures.
x) Locate transit-related passenger stations, central maintenance facilities, decentralized maintenance facilities, and electric substations away from sensitive receptors to the maximum extent feasible.

Impact NOISE-2: Generation of
excessive groundborne vibration
or groundborne noise levels.

See PMM NOISE-1.

PMM-NOISE-2: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects related to violating air quality standards. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) For projects that require pile driving or other construction techniques that result in excessive vibration, such as blasting, determine the potential vibration impacts to the structural integrity of the adjacent buildings within 50 feet of pile driving locations.
b) For projects that require pile driving or other construction techniques that result in excessive vibration, such as blasting, determine the threshold levels of vibration and cracking that could damage adjacent historic or other structure, and design means and construction methods to not exceed the thresholds.

Sections PMM NOISE-2 sections d through f are applicable to the proposed Project and would be incorporated through
Project specific MM N-1, which would require a setback of 30 feet from the western boundary of the site for the use of heavy construction equipment over 80,000 pounds.

The Project is required to comply with regulatory control measures in City of Redlands Municipal Code Section

8.06.120, which regulates noise from construction activities (e.g., construction activities will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays, including Saturdays, with no activities taking place on Sundays or federal holidays.

Additionally, procedures and phone numbers would be posted at the construction site for notifying City of Redlands staff, Redlands Police Department, and the construction contractor to notify regarding complaints.

Predrilling pile holes will reduce the number of blows required to completely seat the pile and will concentrate the pile driving activity closer to the ground where pile driving noise can be shielded more effectively by a noise barrier/curtain. d) Restrict construction activities to permitted hours in accordance with local jurisdiction regulation.
e) Properly maintain construction equipment and outfit construction equipment with the best available noise suppression devices (e.g., mufflers, silences, wraps). f) Prohibit idling of construction equipment for extended periods of time in the vicinity of sensitive receptors.

Impact NOISE-3: 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.

See PMM NOISE-1. No mitigation is required. There are no private or public airstrips within the vicinity of the Project area. The closest airport is the Redlands Municipal Airport, at 1755 Sessums Drive, Redlands, CA, which is approximately 2.6 miles from the Project site. The Project site is outside the noise contours for the airport. As such, the Project would not expose people residing or working in the area to excessive noise levels.

Population and Housing
Impact POP-1: Induce substantial
unplanned population growth to
areas of the region either directly
(e.g., by proposing new homes and
businesses) or indirectly (e.g., by
extending roads and other
infrastructure)
There are no project-level mitigation measures. No mitigation is required. The Project would provide infill development within a currently developed urban setting. It would not add new infrastructure beyond that required to connect the Project to existing utility lines and adjacent roadways. Therefore, the Project would not open new areas to development or promote new development in an area not otherwise expected to be developed.

The Project’s 131 residential units are expected to result in an increase of 191 residents onsite. Additionally, the Project would result in an increase of 85 employees. The Project’s estimated housing, population, and employment growth would be within SCAG’s 2045 growth projections based on the

Impact POP-2: Displace
substantial numbers of existing
people or housing, necessitating
the construction of replacement
housing elsewhere.

PMM-POP-1: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce the displacement of existing housing, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Evaluate alternate route alignments and transportation facilities that minimize the displacement of homes and businesses. Use an iterative design and impact analysis where impacts to homes or businesses are involved to minimize the potential of impacts on housing and displacement of people. b) Prioritize the use existing ROWs, wherever feasible. c) Develop a construction schedule that minimizes potential neighborhood deterioration from protracted waiting periods between right-of-way acquisition and construction.
d) Review capacities of available urban infrastructure and augment capacities as needed to accommodate demand in locations where growth is desirable to the local lead Agency and encouraged by the SCS (primarily TPAs, where applicable). e) When General Plans and other local land use regulations are amended or updated, use the most recent growth projections and RHNA allocation plan.

No mitigation is required. The Project site is currently vacant and undeveloped and does not contain any existing housing.

Therefore, development of the Project would not displace existing people or housing.

Fire Services
Impact PSF-1: Result in substantial
adverse physical impacts
associated with the provision of
new or physically altered fire
protection facilities, need for new
or physically altered fire
protection facilities, the
construction of which could cause
significant environmental impacts in
order to maintain acceptable
service ratios, response times, or
other performance objectives.

See PMM PSP-1. Mitigation is not required because Project impacts would be less than significant with implementation of regulatory requirements. The Project would be subject to compliance with fire protection design standards per the California Building Code, California Fire Code, the City of Redlands Municipal Code, and City of Redlands Fire Department, to ensure
adequate fire protection.

Existing facilities and planned future facilities are capable of providing acceptable response times for fire protection and emergency response services. The Project site is served by Redlands Fire Department Station 261, which is located at 525 E Citrus Avenue, which is approximately 0.6 roadway miles from the Project site. Station 263 is located at 10 W Pennsylvania Avenue approximately 2.0 roadway miles from the Project site. In addition, Station 264 is located at 1270 SCEA

97 Topic 2020-2045 RTP/SCS PEIR Project Level Mitigation Measure Applicability to the Project West Park Avenue approximately 1.1 roadway miles from the Project site. Additionally, the Project would be subject to the existing regulations in the City’s Fire Code related to emergency access and would be required to pay development fees pursuant to the Redlands Municipal Code. Therefore, the Project would not result in new or physically altered
government facilities.

Police Services
Impact PSP-1: Result in substantial
adverse physical impacts
associated with the provision of
new or physically altered police
facilities, need for new or
physically altered police facilities,
the construction of which could
cause significant environmental

PMM PSP-1: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects of constructing new emergency response facilities, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Coordinate with emergency response agencies to ensure that there are adequate governmental facilities to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for emergency response services and that any required additional construction of buildings is incorporated into the project description.
b) Where current levels of services at the project site are found to be inadequate, provide fair share contributions towards infrastructure improvements, as appropriate and applicable, to mitigate identified CEQA impacts. c) Project sponsors can and should develop traffic control plans for individual projects. Traffic control plans should include information on lane closures and the anticipated flow of traffic during the construction period. The basic objective of each traffic control plan (TCP) is to permit the contractor to work within the public right of way efficiently and effectively while maintaining a safe, uniform flow of traffic. The construction work and the public traveling through the work zone in vehicles, bicycles or as pedestrians must be given equal consideration when developing a traffic control plan.

The Project’s impacts would be less than significant.

Nevertheless, the Project substantially conforms to this mitigation measures because the Project is not expected to result in a substantial increase in demand for police protection services that would require the need for a new or physically altered police facility to maintain service ratios. In addition, existing facilities are capable of providing acceptable response times and payment of development impact fees are equally effective in minimizing impacts to police service. The Project site is currently served by the Redlands Police Department. The main police station is located at 1270 West Park Avenue, with four other divisions located citywide, including one at 30 Cajon Street, adjacent to the Project site.

The project would incorporate crime prevention features into the design of the buildings and public spaces, such as lighting of entryways and public spaces. The Project would feature the following:
• Security cameras
• Perimeter lighting to supplement the street lighting
and to provide increased visibility and security

performance objectives.

Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Where construction or expansion of school facilities is required to meet public school service ratios, require school district fees, as applicable. project’s impacts on school facilities in excess of fees set forth in the Government Code. These fees are collected by school districts at the time of issuance of building permits for development projects. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65995 applicants shall pay developer fees to the
appropriate school districts at the time building permits are issued; and payment of the adopted fees provides full and complete mitigation of school impacts.

PMM PSL-1: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects of construction of new or altered library facilities, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Where construction or expansion of library facilities is required to meet public library service ratios, require library fees, as appropriate and applicable, to mitigate identified CEQA impacts
The proposed residences would result in a limited incremental increase in the need for additional services, such as public libraries and post offices, etc. Because the Project area is already served by other services and the Project would result in a limited increase in residences, the Project would not result in the need for new or physically altered facilities to provide other services, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts. Furthermore, the Applicant would be required to pay Developer Impact Fees to offset any impacts to public services.

Recreation
Impact REC-1: Potential to
increase the use of existing
neighborhood and regional parks
or other recreational facilities such
that substantial physical
deterioration of the facility would
occur or be accelerated.

PMM REC-1: In accordance with provisions of sections 15091(a)(2) and 15126.4(a)(1)(B) of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Lead Agency for a project can and should consider mitigation measures to reduce substantial adverse effects on the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities, as applicable and feasible. Such measures may include the following or other comparable measures identified by the Lead Agency:
a) Prior to the issuance of permits, where projects require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities or the payment of equivalent Quimby fees, consider increasing the accessibility to natural areas and lands for outdoor recreation from the proposed project area, in coordination with local and regional open space planning and/or responsible management agencies. b) Prior to the issuance of permits, where projects require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities or the payment of equivalent Quimby fees, encourage patterns of urban development and land use which reduce costs on infrastructure and make better use of existing facilities, using strategies such as:
