1.3B : A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF

CERTAIN MUNICIPAL FUNDS FOR

STREET MAINTENANCE AND

REPAIRS
This resolution authorizes the transfer of
certain street and road revenue to offset the
fiscal year 2021-2022 expense of street and
road maintenance and repairs.

Council Member Zuber said there is still about $5 million in the Streets and Roads accounts and asked if there are plans for those funds. City Administrator Werner said some of the funds are in the Street and Road Operating fund and some in the Street and Road Reserve fund. He said the Street and Road Operating fund does not normally have a balance of $3.5 million, but they were anticipating the Street and Road Operating fund to pay for the Stockton Avenue Reconstruction Project. However, the City was able to secure grant funding and the project cost the City less than $100,000 Street and Road Operating fund. Werner said there is a 3-year plan, which includes $2.8 million of preventative maintenance, such as 3- layer systems and $2.7 million of reconstruction projects including Cobblestone Court and Locust Avenue.

City Council Page 7 August 9, 2022
Council Member Barton said the fund transfers are the result of a City that is run in a fiscally conservative fashion. He said the City has been given direction for many years by Councils and we are the beneficiaries of this. Barton said he can think of many cities that would love to have a consent calendar item with a significant amount of money in transfers and he is very appreciative of that.

Motion to approve Item 1.3B Street and Road Funds Transfers.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

APPOINTING AN ALTERNATE TO

THE SAN JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF

GOVERNMENTS' BOARD
Council to appoint a Council Member as an
alternate to the San Joaquin Council of
Governments’ Board.

Council Member Zuber said this issue came up because he is unable to attend the San Joaquin Council of Governments’ Board meeting in August so the City Council needs to appoint an alternate to go in his place. Vice Mayor Restuccia volunteered. Council said they would like to see an alternate appointed next year when the Council appointments are made for the 2023 calendar year.

Motion to approve Resolution 22-37 appointing Vice Mayor Michael Restuccia as the alternate to the San Joaquin Council of Governments’ Board.

B. RESOLUTION NO. 22-38

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

APPROVING AND IMPLEMENTING

THE NON-FUNCTIONAL TURF LOAN

PROGRAM
If the City Council would like to offer
loans to non-residential property owners to
comply with the State mandate related to
Non-Functional Turf, staff recommends the
City Council approve the attached
resolution and direct staff to move forward
with implementing the Non-Functional
Turf loan program.

City Council Page 8 August 9, 2022
City Administrator Werner said at the July 12, 2022 meeting, the Council passed Resolution 22-29 that set out the State required regulations.

Werner said Council discussed how to implement the State Regulations related to the current drought. In order to help businesses mitigate being unable to irrigate non-functional turf, which creates dry, dead grass and is a potential fire hazard, Council directed Staff to bring back a loan program to assist businesses to connect to the City’s non-potable water.

As a reminder, Werner defined the term Non-Functional Turf as a term used by the State of California for essentially ornamental turf. This program would be for non-residential properties that have grass without trees that is watered with potable water.

Werner reviewed the loan program stating eligible participants are property owners of nonresidential properties within City limits that have non-functional turf greater than 500 square feet. They would be able to apply for the loan to either construct a connection to the City's non-potable water line or to landscape with water efficient landscaping that meets State guidelines. The application process would include submitting a completed application to the City. The Housing and Loan Committee would review and approve the applications.

Werner said a maximum loan amount of $30,000 would be given after the work was completed to the satisfaction of the City. It would have a term of five years and an interest rate of 2%. Payments would be made to the City monthly and the City may record a deed of trust at the time the loan is funded. Staff will work with the Housing and Loan Committee to determine the risk and what securities may be necessary to ensure the funds can be recovered.

Werner said if the property is sold, the loan must be paid before sale. Werner said the penalty for nonpayment would be the maximum as allowed by State law and the City would take the necessary steps to recover the funds after 90 days of nonpayment.

Council Member Zuber said a significant number of properties have reasonable access to the City’s non-potable system. Werner confirmed there are sixteen businesses with nonfunctional turf, nine of them have reasonable access to the City’s non-potable system and the remaining seven would need to modify their landscaping.

Vice Mayor Restuccia said he is glad this came to Council because this mandate came from the State and he does not believe businesses should be penalized for it.

Restuccia asked if Staff spoke to businesses. Werner said they have not but do plan on talking to businesses and letting them know what their options are.

Restuccia said the verbiage of the loan term needs to be in months, not years, and asked if it is fully amortized and will it be 60 months for everyone. Werner confirmed it would be.

Restuccia expressed his concern regarding deed of trusts saying that many business owners will not actually own the property.

City Council Page 9 August 9, 2022
Restuccia asked if there will be any underwriting of the businesses to ensure they can make payments. City Attorney Terpstra said it is a challenge because of the cost and time involved.

He said staff is presenting the broad framework of the program and the Housing and Loan Committee would be the right people to sort through some of those issues.

Council Member de Graaf said he would like to encourage businesses to plant trees and then they do not have to worry about having non-functional turf.

Council Member Barton said he would like to see this program be revenue-neutral to the City. He said he is concerned about the proposed fixed interest rate of 2% because we are in a volatile interest rate environment. He would like to see the loan have a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with a 2.25% bump and reviewed on an annual basis so the City is loaning money at a rate that is more reflective of the current rate.

Restuccia said we are currently getting about a 1.38% return on our LAIF accounts and asked if staff could tie it to our investment rate so it is revenue neutral. Staff said yes.

Barton said our rate is reflective of triple A risk category and we are talking about lending money to individual businesses that reflect a much higher risk profile so LIBOR with a 2% bump would be a more reasonable rate.

Zuber said we are looking to reinvest the money currently in our water fund into the community so that businesses can continue to operate within these regulations without incurring an exorbitant expense because of something the State has required.

Zuber said income from the 2% rate will come close to covering the time and effort it will take Staff to set the loan up. He said he is not looking to make anything and he does not believe we have lost anything.

Barton said he is not looking to make money, but would like this to be revenue-neutral. The City is not in the business of being a bank and the loan needs to reflect the appropriate risk and he believes LIBOR with a bump attached is a very fair rate.

Restuccia said a small business would need to budget for this and it would be difficult with changing rates.

Motion to approve Resolution 22-38 approving and implementing the Non-Functional Turf Loan Program.

3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
Council will take action on the following items at the conclusion of each Public Hearing.

A. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND PLANNED UNIT OVERLAY
The Terraces at Bethany Home
UP21-70 and PUD21-79
This is a public hearing to consider
adopting the Mitigated Negative
Declaration (PEA21-15) and approving
The Terraces at Bethany Conditional Use
Permit (UP21-70) and Planned Unit
Overlay District (PUD21-79) based on the
findings and subject to the conditions in
the staff report.

City Attorney Terpstra said he has a conflict of interest in this item so Attorney Dan Schroeder from Neumiller and Beardslee would be standing in as the City’s Counsel.

Terpstra left the room.

Planning Director Zuidervaart said there has been a request to construct a 107,000 square foot 3-story, 82-unit residential care facility at the corner of Vera and Main. Staff is requesting Council approve the conditional use permit, the planned unit overlay district, and adopt the required CEQA documents. He said the project was recommended for approval at the July 18, 2022 Planning Commission meeting.

Vice Mayor Restuccia said there are many conditions and asked if the applicant has agreed to all of them. Zuidervaart said they have.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
No one from the public wished to speak at this time or insert public comments.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Council Member Barton said he is concerned about the parking, even though the spaces exceed the requirements. He said there is one stall for each unit and he hopes there will be many visitors so he would like to know how that would work. Zuidervaart said not every unit will have a car, which will leave parking open for visitors, and there is some on-street parking available on the west side of Vera. He said the traffic report recommends no parking on the east side of Vera.

B. ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT
TAZ 22-46 pertaining to Title 16, Chapter

16.88 "Home Occupation Permit".

This is a public hearing to consider a
Zoning Text Amendment to Ripon
Municipal Code Title 16, Chapter 16.88
"Home Occupation Permit".

Planning Director Zuidervaart said the Zoning Text Amendment was approved at the July 18, 2022 Planning Commission meeting. Chapter 16.88 “Home Occupation Permit” was last updated in 2009. Staff cleaned up some processing abnormalities with Business Licenses and Home Occupation Permits. He said staff looked at other cities and what was allowed for Home Occupation Permits. He said there has been an increase in Home Occupation Permits since COVID-19.

Vice Mayor Restuccia asked if the section that refers to clients and students should just use the term clients. Zuidervaart agreed and said staff will make that change.

Restuccia questioned the ammunition sales portion saying that retailers have to perform background checks at the time of the transaction so they are no longer able to do deliveries. Zuidervaart said businesses with Home Occupation Permits should not have retail sales out of their home. People cannot come in to the home and go shopping; they need to have an appointment.

Restuccia said the ordinance lists what is not allowed, but asked what happens if someone applies with a business that is not on either list. Zuidervaart said that is left up to the discretion of the Planning Director and if denied, they can appeal to the Planning Commission.

Council Member Barton asked about items sold to clients in the course of business.

Zuidervaart said that is allowed.

Council Member Zuber asked if this is complaint driven, because some neighbors will not complain but others will and if there are rules, the City needs to enforce them.

Zuidervaart said neighbors are given notice when a Home Occupation Permit is issued.

City Council Page 12 August 9, 2022
Barton said the permits are two-year permits and asked if the City keep tracks of this.

Zuidervaart confirmed this.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
No one from the public wished to speak at this time.

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Motion to approve the language as presented with the changes subject to the discussion that was held.

RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Leo Zuber, Council Member

AYES: Uecker, Restuccia, Zuber, de Graaf, Barton

1. RESOLUTIONS
A. RESOLUTION NO. 22-16

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

ORDERING MANDATORY WATER

CONSERVATIONS MEASURES
City Council to consider approving a
resolution that would enact the emergency
water conservation measures called for
through Executive Order N-7-22 by
Governor Gavin Newsom and adopted by
the State Water Resources Control Board
on May 24, 2022.

Director of Public Works Pease said the resolution in front of Council will update the City’s Mandatory Water Conservation Measures Resolution to be in compliance with the State’s new mandates. Pease read the Governor’s executive order and measures that are required to be adopted by all cities in California by June 10, 2022.

Pease explained that the City’s Urban Water Management Plan was last updated in 2018 and at that time, the outdoor watering days from March to October were regulated to three days a week and from November to February, one day of outdoor watering a week. 1 Packet Pg. 15
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 9, 2022 1:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 2 June 9, 2022
Pease said there are three major impacts the new State mandates will have on Ripon. These changes will include all outdoor watering only be allowed only two days a week between March and October with no change to the winter schedule of one day per week. Water use for decorative water features and fountains is prohibited, except for ponds that support aquatic life. Also, potable water use for “Non-Functional Turf” at Commercial, Industrial and Institutional sites is prohibited. The State describes “Non-Functional Turf” as grass that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events. It does not prohibit the use of potable water necessary to ensure the health of trees and other perennial no-turf plantings.

Vice Mayor Restuccia asked if we already went through this during the beginning of the drought.

Pease said yes, in 2016, the City added outdoor watering regulations and Council elected to keep them and that the new mandate only adds three things we are not currently doing.

Mayor Uecker asked how this would affect Mistlin Fountain for residents even though the water is recycled.

Pease said the regulations state we are supposed to limit the use regardless of whether or not the water is recycled.

Council Member de Graaf said he would like to continue to run the Mistlin Fountain for the residents, because he views it like a playground versus a fountain.

Pease said the direct impact to City facilities is minimal because most City irrigation comes from non-potable sources, which is excluded from regulations. There are few City facilities that use potable water for irrigation. Pease said the two well sites currently on potable irrigation landscape could also be changed and the Ripon Animal shelter could be hooked up to non-potable water.

Council discussed the location of non-potable water lines and which businesses might be able to connect into it to help meet the State’s water conservation goal and be compliant with the new regulations.

Restuccia said he is not happy with this resolution because it should have been recognized 40 years ago that a drought would be bad. He would like to meet with League of Cities to see how we can stop the State from putting a band-aid on a problem because we need a solution. de Graaf sited the Groundwater Management Act of 2014 and said Ripon is not far from being able to reach the goal of maintaining our groundwater.

Council Member Zuber said the last time the State imposed these regulations, Governor Jerry Brown did it the right way by not telling us how to fix the problem but instead set a goal, and cities had the choice to either meet the goal or have their State funding pulled.

Council Member Barton said the State needs water storage and they have drained New Melones and now it has the lowest percentage of water of any major storage facility in the 1 Packet Pg. 16
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jun 9, 2022 1:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 3 June 9, 2022
State. He said it is in danger of never returning.
de Graaf asked if there is an alternative to approving the resolution. City Attorney Terpstra said the State has expressed they can dictate the regulations.

Zuber said it is a good place to start, but we want the ability to adjust and change it. Terpstra stated adoption does not mean Council has signed up for any future State programs.

Zuber said he does not have a problem with less watering, but wants to be fair to people and businesses. He said we need to find solutions and look into this more.

City Administrator Werner stated that staff agrees with all that was discussed, but looking long term, nonresidential usages turning to non-potable could be beneficial and should be explored. He said if time is put into this program now, we will set ourselves up better for the future.

Barton asked if we have any discretion to waive any penalties for businesses that do not have the option to connect to non-potable. Werner said staff could look into options.

Zuber said this is a good overview but the details hurt and he would like more information.

Zuber said Council could adopt the resolution with requirement that staff enter into a period of education and communication with the public and then come back to Council with more information. All the City needs to enforce now is outdoor watering two days a week. de Graaf asked how we are monitoring water usage. Pease said there is patrol and residents call in water wasters.

Restuccia asked if we will change the “watering day” signs throughout the City. Pease said yes.
de Graaf asked for no penalties to be incurred until the July meeting. Zuber agreed except for two days a week outdoor watering regulation.

Motion to approve Resolution 22-16 ordering Mandatory Water Conservation Measures with the condition that staff come back to Council with more information and not enforce the penalties of this resolution, except for the two days a week of outdoor watering regulation.

Council Member Barton asked City Administrator Werner to give an overview of the entire Stockton Avenue Project and more specifically the many change orders of the project and the sources of revenue for this project.

Werner said Stockton Avenue has been a priority of the City Council for many years.

The City’s revenue that we receive to do road maintenance has been set aside to do the project. However, we were able to obtain a sizable grant for the project. He said until this most recent change order, no Street & Road money has been used for the project. 2 Packet Pg. 25

Werner said also part of this project was a lot of underground work including a separation of a storm drain pipeline and our industrial sewer pipeline. During the design phase, staff did a lot of investigation, but it is really not known until you open the road up to see what is there. He said there were a lot of unknowns in the undergrounds that made up a majority of the change orders. Werner said the positive part of this is because we were able to get grant money, we still have a healthy balance in our Street and Road funds, which will allow us to do future project.

Motion to approve Item 1.4C Stockton Avenue Rehabilitation Project Change Order 12.

Change Order No. 1

driveway entrances on Wilma Avenue.
(Funding Source: Street and Road
Operating Fund)
Council Member Barton asked City Administrator Werner to give an overview of the project, what the City’s plans are and where we hope to see this end up.

Werner said there are some properties on Wilma Avenue where the houses are built below the elevation of the roadway. During intense storms, water was flowing from the gutters onto the properties. Staff has been working with the homeowners to reduce this from happening. The City made some improvements to the driveways as well as improvements downstream to help with this problem. At this point we are watching to see how effective these improvements are in reducing the amount of water flowing onto those properties.

Werner said with the most recent configuration of the driveways, the curb was more uncomfortable for the property owners, so we are looking to build a shallower slope on the curb and still mitigate the water.

B. RESOLUTION NO. 22-29

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RIPON

ORDERING MANDATORY WATER

CONSERVATIONS MEASURES
City Council to consider modifying
resolution 22-16 to incorporate specific
non-functional turf emergency water
conservation measures called for through
Executive Order N-7-22 by Governor
Gavin Newsom and adopted by the State
Water Resources Control Board on May
24, 2022.

Authorize staff to move forward with
modifying the irrigation source and
landscaping at certain City facilities and
consider a loan program for businesses to
modify irrigation source and/or
landscaping at certain facilities to meet the
requirements of the State Water Resources
Control Board resolution.

Public Works Director Pease said this resolution is to repeal Resolution 22-16, which was passed in June based on State Mandates. At that meeting, Council requested a little more information regarding City facilities and impacts to businesses. He reiterated that the watering days have been limited to two days versus three days because of these mandates.

Pease gave a recap of City facilities, businesses, churches, schools and apartments/HOAs and which ones could connect to non-potable water, would not be able to connect or would be exempt from these restrictions. He said Staff is considering offering a loan to businesses to eliminate non-functional turf or to connect to non-potable water. Pease said he provided an estimate in the staff report, but the costs could go up quickly. Pease said he has basic parameters and timelines in the staff report, but would come back with an official loan program if Council desires.

Pease said the difference between this resolution and Resolution 22-16 is the penalty enforcement specifically associated to the sites that would be switching over to non-potable water, which would be delayed until March 2023. He said, moving forward, we will continue our educational outreach, Nixle reminders, ongoing water patrols, continue to offer a few select rebates and contacting commercial, institutional and industrial users directly regarding their specific situation.

Council Member Barton asked if there has been any notifications to businesses yet.

Pease responded that there has not been, except as businesses that have reached out to the City asking what is going on.

Council Member Zuber said the fiscal impact for the business loans is estimated about $240,000. He asked what the current balance in the Water Enterprise Capital Fund is. City Administrator Werner said it is $7.5 million.

Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Jul 12, 2022 6:00 PM (Approval of Minutes) City Council Page 11 July 12, 2022
Barton asked what the payback time would be. Pease said he proposed 10 years since this is what was used for the water meter installation program, but this is something that can be adjusted.

Zuber said whatever we can do to minimize the impact on businesses is important to him.

Council Member de Graaf said he likes the idea of businesses planting trees so that they do not have to eliminate their turf. Vice Mayor Restuccia said he is concerned down the road the State may also tell us we cannot water trees.

Restuccia said for City properties, he would like to see artificial turf.

Zuber referenced the resolution and said we need to inform restaurants they can only give water when requested.

Zuber said it would be good to use our Eye on Water application as a way to retrieve useful information.

Zuber said there are standards of what can go in the front yards. He asked if new construction should not allow for lawn in the front yards. He asked if we should start talking about what the future of the town is going to look like instead of looking at just right now.

Pease said there are landscape development parameters, but after the house is sold, the homeowner can do what they want.

Restuccia asked what impacts are on the other aquafers if more people go to non-potable. He asked if it could be so impactful that the State could come back and say businesses cannot even use non-potable.

Werner said the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act considers the groundwater levels. He said the groundwater travels through the aquafers so slow that there is no concern.

The concern would be depleting the water levels and not allowing for recharge. He said looking ahead many years, this is why the City plans for a tertiary treatment plant to take the place of non-potable wells.
de Graaf said SGMA is a 20-year planning document, which we are only two years into.

This government action is a knee-jerk reaction to a cycle that we go through. He said any minor reduction we do in landscaping has minimal impact on the groundwater.

Barton said the State also continue to run flows down the river directly to the ocean. He also said connecting to SSJID is how we acquire a sustainable supply.

Pease said he is looking for general guidance for the loan program Restuccia said in regards to City facilities, we should do artificial turf. Zuber says staff needs to do what they think is right.

Motion to approve Resolution 22-29, authorize Staff to move forward to get City facilities into compliance for a cost estimated at $70,000 and bring back a proposal for the loan program for businesses.

ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS FOR THE
FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 FOR THE

CITY OF RIPON'S TEN LANDSCAPE

MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS

LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SAN
JOAQUIN, CALIFORNIA.

This is a public hearing to set the amount
and give approval of the levy of the annual
assessments for the City of Ripon’s ten
Landscape Maintenance Districts.

City Administrator Werner said this assessment is not for everyone, but only for those that live in the districts that have been established. This money is collected through the property assessment. He said every district is different in how it was set up; some are indexed. He said we go through a process to see if these should be increased or not. Werner confirmed that we are calculating what the fee should be with the indexed, even if it is not implemented.

He said only two districts are increasing the assessments. He said there are also a number of districts that operate at a deficit, so we transfer general fund dollars to make up those deficits.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
Penny Brown-Alexander asked if the districts were subdivision. Werner said that it is not tied to a specific subdivision.

Council Member Zuber said there are parts of town that are not affected by this.

23 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

DONATION REQUEST
This is a public hearing for the proposed
Fiscal Year 2022-2023 City Budget.

Recommended Action: This resolution
adopts the City of Ripon Fiscal Year 2022-
2023 Budget.

Council Member Zuber left the meeting.

City Administrator Werner said prior to the recession, the Ripon Chamber of Commerce was receiving a $10,000 donation from the City. During the recession, this was reduced to $9,100. The Chamber is requesting to go back to the $10,000 donation and in the exhibit to the resolution there is a list of the benefits the Chamber provides to the City. Werner continued by saying during COVID Ripon Chamber of Commerce CEO, Kelly Donohue was very helpful with dealing with the businesses through the City’s grant program. In addition to the $10,000 donation, the Chamber is willing to assist the City with a couple items in our budget for an additional fee of $10,000.

Vice Mayor Restuccia said it has been a long time since someone has been at the Chamber that has been available to get things done. He said Donohue works very hard for the City and for the businesses. Restuccia said she is like our economic development arm and she has already earned what is being proposed this evening. He thanked Donohue for all that she does.

Council Member de Graaf agreed with Restuccia's comments and said he appreciates the communication between City Administrator Werner and Chamber of Commerce CEO Kelly Donohue. He appreciates her going above and beyond what is asked. He said this is a mutual benefit and not a freebie from the City.

Council Member Barton concurred. He asked if there was going to be a reporting process to let the Council know the progress on her projects, including timetables. 2 Packet Pg. 32

Ripon Chamber of Commerce CEO, Kelly Donohue thanked the Council for their kind words. She said it is truly a partnership. She said there is a current timetable for the wayfinding signs and she plans to reach out to businesses as we move forward with the downtown transportation plan.

She said she appreciates the City and this grant helps the Chamber to get done what they want to accomplish in the City.

Connie Jorgenson said in history the Chamber and the City Council used to get along really well. Current history shows they have not gotten along very well, but Donohue has brought this back and the relationship has been restored. Jorgenson said Donohue does wonderful things for Ripon.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Enterprise Fund and Landscape Maintenance District transfers RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve this resolution for the 2021-22 fiscal year that authorizes transfers from (1) Enterprise Operating Funds to Enterprise Capital Reserve Funds, (2) General Fund to Landscape Maintenance Districts with deficits, (3) General Fund to CNG Station Capital Reserve Fund, and (4) General Fund to PERS Contingency Fund.

BACKGROUND:

At the end of each fiscal year, transfers are analyzed from (1) Enterprise Operating Funds to Enterprise Capital Reserve Funds, (2) General Fund to Landscape Maintenance Districts with deficits, and (3) General Fund to CNG Station Capital Reserve Fund.

In 2020, Redevelopment Bonds were refinanced, which created additional property tax income to the General Fund. Fiscal year 2021-22 was the first time that these savings from the refinancing were realized. At the March 2022 Strategic Planning meeting, Council directed these savings to be transferred to the PERS Contingency Fund.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Enterprise Funds to Enterprise Capital Reserve Funds
The Enterprise Fund Rates and Cash Flow Study prepared by Municipal Financial Services (MFS) established Enterprise Fund customer rates that provide the needed revenue to fund the annual operations of the service and set aside revenue to fund the future replacement of capital items. At the end of the fiscal year, each Enterprise Fund’s operating cash flow is evaluated and available funds are transferred to the appropriate Enterprise Capital Fund, as long as the enterprise operating fund minimum balance is maintained. The following table summarizes the fiscal year 2021-22 cash flow and recommended transfer to each Enterprise Capital Fund.

1. Water Operating and Water Enterprise Capital Funds income include transfer of water meter surcharge fee collected during the fiscal year of $192,716.

2. Sewer projected transfer is $355,000 for Repair and Replacement and $290,000 for WWTP Reserve.

3. Transfer target per MFS study is $280,000, but we only transferred $94,307 because operating expenses were increased due to regulatory requirements. This will be evaluated prior to next year’s rate increase.

General Fund to Landscape Maintenance Districts with deficits The policy for transferring from the General Fund to the Landscape Maintenance Districts is if the district has an annual operating deficit and no balance to offset that operating deficit, a transfer from the General Funds is made.

General Fund to CNG Station Capital Reserve Fund
Each year we evaluate the rate at which CNG is sold at the fueling station on Doak Boulevard to ensure operating costs are recovered plus funds necessary to replace capital items in the future are reserved. At the end of the fiscal year, the CNG station cash flow is evaluated and available funds are transferred to the CNG Station Capital Reserve Fund.

In 2020, Redevelopment bonds were refinanced, creating additional property tax income to the General Fund.

From: Ed Ormonde, Chief of Police
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Military Equipment Usage Policy
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

This resolution approves and adopts the Military Equipment Use Policy.

BACKGROUND:

Prior existing federal law authorized the Department of Defense to transfer surplus personal property, including arms and ammunition, to federal or state agencies for use in law enforcement activities, subject to specified conditions, at no cost to the acquiring agency.

On September 9, 2021 the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 481. The bill was then approved by Governor Newsom on September 30, 2021. AB 481 requires a law enforcement agency to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, by adoption of a military equipment use policy, as specified, by ordinance at a regular meeting held pursuant to specified open meeting laws, prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. The bill also requires similar approval for the continued use of military equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2022. The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards. The bill requires the governing body to annually review the ordinance and to either disapprove a renewal of the authorization for a type of military equipment or amend the military equipment use policy if it determines that the military equipment does not comply with the above-described standards for approval. The bill does not preclude a county or local municipality from implementing additional requirements and standards related to the purchase, use, and reporting of military equipment by local law enforcement agencies.

Assembly Bill 481 also requires an agency to create a military equipment use policy before engaging in certain activities, publish the policy on the agency’s internet website, and provide a copy of the policy to the Governor or the Governor’s designee.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ed Ormonde, Chief of Police
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Escalon Dispatch Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve and authorize the Mayor to sign the amended and restated Dispatch Services Agreement with City of Escalon.

BACKGROUND:

The Ripon Police Department has been providing dispatch services to the City of Escalon Police Department through the Ripon Emergency Communications Center since 1995. The dispatch services for the Escalon Police Department began as an afterhours service during the week, weekends, and holidays, with an agreement for full-time services which began in March of 2011.

This amendment will provide greater services to the City of Escalon Police Department, and charge them for one full-time equivalent dispatch position, along with a fair portion of capital improvement and maintenance needs for continued operation of the Emergency Communications Center.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Ripon will continue be responsible to provide the dispatch services as summarized below:

1. Receive complaints and requests for assistance and information from citizens by telephone, including 911 calls.

2. Maintain two-way radio communications with units on routine or emergency situations and general activities.

3. Maintain and type various logs.

4. Maintain computerized records of incidents.

5. Enter all CLETS entries for staff, including but not limited to: Missing Persons, Stored Vehicles, Stolen Vehicles, Firearm Entries, etc. outside of normal business hours or when Escalon assigned staff is not available. Escalon Police Department will be responsible for second party CLETS entry checks to verify accuracy of the MUPS/10851 entries as required by DOJ. Any modifications needed thereafter are to be done by Escalon Police Department.

1.4.A
Packet Pg. 92

6. Sending out of BOLO’s that meet the following criteria: crimes in progress, time sensitive, and urgent in nature.

7. Run Criminal History checks at the request of Escalon, however Ripon Dispatch will not be responsible for interpretation of the information contained in the Criminal History. The Criminal Histories can be sent to officer’s Mobile Computer.

8. Respond to Out-of-State Hit Confirmations utilizing the same criteria as the Ripon Police Department policies. Any follow up needed in regard to possible extradition would be handled by Escalon Police Department.

9. Handle In-State warrant confirmations including cite/release information in accordance to the guidelines provided by the Escalon Police Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of Ripon General Fund would be reimbursed approximately $161,000 for 2022.

Beginning January 1, 2023, this payment rate shall be annually adjusted to reflect any increases as shown in the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Bay Area Cities “Consumer Price Index, CPI-U All Items, 12 month % Change” as of June 30th.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ed Ormonde, Chief of Police
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Replace Desk Consoles in Dispatch Center
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

City Council to approve the purchase of six (6) Mercury Standard Dispatch Consoles through Watson Consoles.

BACKGROUND:

The current four (4) dispatch consoles were installed when the Police Department was renovated and expanded in 2006, since that time the consoles have become operationally unreliable, with parts and additional consoles no longer available.

In addition, with the Ripon Emergency Dispatch Center providing services for two additional police agencies, it has become necessary to reconfigure the dispatch area to readily accept increased personnel to provide these services for critical incidents, special enforcement operations, large-scale events and training. The dispatch center will also need the additional dispatch consoles to perform regular dispatch duties in the near future.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

The dispatch center currently has four (4) dispatch consoles. With the need to accommodate additional staff and to isolate transient noise due to increased telephone and radio communications, it has become necessary to reconfigure and expand the dispatch center to six (6) work stations, adding two (2) additional dispatch consoles. The original consoles will not fit into the proposed reconfiguration of the dispatch center.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost to purchase and install the six (6) dispatch consoles is $102,048.41. Of this cost, $59,188.08 will be reimbursed to the City of Ripon from the cities that Ripon is contracted to

$1.06 million) will fund the $42,860.33 balance.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Lisa Roos, City Clerk & Finance Director
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Annual Investment Report Review
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Accept the City’s annual investment report for the period ending June 30, 2022.

BACKGROUND:

The following report is the City’s annual investment report for the period ending June 30, 2022.

This report summarizes the City’s investment policy that was adopted by the Council in 1996 and amended in 2003, shows the average interest rate for the last 12 months, and lists individual investments with their balances and interest rates as of the end of the year. The interest rates that are shown on the report are for the 12 month period or quarter then ended.

The City maintains money in both shorter-term daily liquidity investments, such as LAIF, and longer-term investments held at the Bank of New York. The LAIF investment allows the City to earn interest, which is normally lower than the interest from longer-term investments, while the funds remain liquid and can quickly be transferred from time to time to cover operational costs of the City throughout the year. The investments held at The Bank of New York have longer durations, as such, our goal is to not access the funds for liquidity purposes. It is not uncommon during federal tightening cycles for money market funds and pools similar to LAIF to have yields that surpass longer duration portfolios such as the investments held at the Bank of New York. Nevertheless, this occurrence is typically transitory in nature and although market dependent, we expect the longer-term investments to eventually pass the LAIF yield in the near future.

Each year, the City analyzes the amount of funds needed short term to cover operating costs and projected capital costs. If there is any excess, these funds are transferred to Bank of New York for a longer-term investment. On August 8, 2022, $5,000,000 was transferred from the shortterm LAIF account to the longer-term Bank of New York account.

Subject: Street & Road Funds transfers
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve this resolution for the 2021-2022 fiscal year for the transfer of certain Municipal Funds for Street Maintenance and Repairs.

BACKGROUND:

During FY 2021-2022, $3,075,140 was received from grants, interest, and sidewalk repair reimbursements in the Street & Roads Operating Fund. The City receives other street and road maintenance income from various sources (e.g., Highway User Tax, SB1, Measure K Renewal, Local Transportation Fund, etc), which are tracked in separate funds by the source of revenue.

During the year, all expenditures are tracked through the Street & Roads Operating Fund. At the end of the fiscal year, staff analyzes the Operating Fund activity and transfer dollars from these individual revenue funds to the Street & Roads Operating Fund to cover the annual net expenditures.

1. Summary of five Highway User Tax sources.

Usually, the Street & Roads Operating Fund has a zero balance at June 30th each year due to transfers from other funds. However, due to the timing difference of Stockton Avenue expenses and grant funds received as of June 30, 2022, the operating fund has a negative fund balance, which is equal to the grant funds that have been requested, but not yet received.

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: James Pease, Public Works Director
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Loan for Businesses / Water Conservation Mandates RECOMMENDED ACTION:

If the City Council would like to offer loans to non-residential property owners to comply with the State mandate related to Non-Functional Turf, staff recommends the City Council approve the attached resolution and direct staff to move forward with implementing the Non-Functional Turf loan program.

BACKGROUND:

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order on March 28, 2022 that tasked the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) to consider issuing certain mandates with regard to water conservation and water restrictions statewide. At the May 24, 2022 Water Board meeting a resolution was passed to enforce a number of those mandatory water conservation measures.

At the July 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council adopted resolution 22-29 approving specific non-functional turf emergency water conservation measures called for through Executive Order N-7-22 by Governor Gavin Newsom and adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board on May 24, 2022, as summarized below:

Potable water use for “Non-Functional Turf” at Commercial, Industrial and Institutional sites is prohibited. The definition of Non-Functional Turf is grass that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes or for civic or community events. It does not prohibit the use of potable water necessary to ensure the health of trees and other perennial no-turf plantings or to the extent necessary to address an immediate health and safety need.

This mandate by the State can create areas of dead grass. This is not only unsightly but could also become a fire hazard at some point in the future if not properly maintained.

2.B
Packet Pg. 130
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

At the July 2022 City Council meeting, the City Council requested staff bring back details of a City loan program where the City would loan property owners the funds to either connect to the non-potable system to irrigate grass that is not used for recreational purposes, nor requires irrigation to maintain trees, or to remove the Non-Functional Turf and install water efficient landscaping.

The following summarizes the recommended Non-Functional Turf loan program to assist nonresidential property owners to comply with the state mandates related to Non-Functional Turf:

Eligibility
The loan program would be available to property owners of non-residential properties within the City limits that have a commercial or industrial business operating on the property with NonFunctional Turf (greater than 500 square feet).

1. Non-potable water service connection to their on-site irrigation system. a. A property owner that has a non-potable water main line located in the public right of way in front of their property may receive a loan to construct the nonpotable water service connection to their on-site irrigation system. b. The property owner must obtain a no cost encroachment permit and hire a licensed and bonded contractor to perform the work in accordance with the City of Ripon standards and specifications.

2. Replace the Non-Functional Turf with water efficient landscaping a. A property owner who would like to replace Non-Functional Turf with landscaping that complies with the State of California Mandatory Water Efficiency Landscaping Ordinance requirements may receive a loan to make these improvements.
b. The property owner must submit a landscaping plan showing the proposed landscape improvements.

Application Process
The property owner will need to fill out an application, including providing plans or a description of the work to be performed along with a cost estimate. City staff will determine whether the plans or description of the work is consistent with the Mandatory Water Efficiency Landscaping Ordinance.

Once the application is approved, the property owner will enter into a loan agreement with the City of Ripon. The terms of the loan agreement, including remedies for non-compliance, shall be prepared by the City Attorney, and shall include, at a minimum, the terms described below.

Reimbursement of Expenses
Once the work has been completed, the property owner will be reimbursed for the expense with loan proceeds.

Terms of the Loan
The loan will be for the actual cost of the improvements with a maximum of $30,000.

2.B
Packet Pg. 131
The term of the loan will be 5 years.

Interest rate of the amount borrowed will be 2 percent.

Payments are to be made to the City every month.

If the property is sold during the term of the loan, the outstanding balance will be due prior to the sale of the property.

If a borrower is 30 days past due on the monthly payment, they will pay a penalty as permitted by California law.

If a borrower is 90 days past due, this would be considered a default on the loan and the City will take the steps necessary to collect the outstanding balance, including the recording of a Notice of Default and/or a lien against the property.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If every eligible non-residential property owner was to take out the full loan amount available, the City’s Water Enterprise Capital Account would issue $480,000 in loans. The current balance of this fund is $7.2 million.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RIPON APPROVING AND IMPLEMENTING THE NONFUNCTIONAL TURF LOAN PROGRAM WHEREAS, the State Water Resources Control Board has passed a resolution on May 24, 2022 that no longer allows potable water use to irrigate “Non-Functional Turf” at Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional sites. The definition of Non-Functional Turf is grass that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes and does not contain trees; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Ripon does hereby approve and adopt the Non-Functional Loan Program as described in Exhibit A.

PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Ripon this 9th day of August, 2022, by the following vote:

MEMO
To: Honorable City Council
From: Ken Zuidervaart, Planning Director
Date: 08/09/2022
Subject: Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70) RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Should the City Council agree with the Planning Commission and Staff’s recommendation, the following motion would be appropriate:
“The City Council adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration (PEA21-15) and approves The Terraces at Bethany Conditional Use Permit (UP21-70) and Planned Unit Overlay District (PUD21-79) based on the findings and subject to the conditions in the staff report.”
DISCUSSION:

The request is to construct a 106,894 square foot, three (3) story residential care facility on two adjacent parcels totaling approximately 2.73 acres in the C1 (Neighborhood Commercial) district, located at 816 W. Main Street and 200 Vera Avenue. The proposed project would include the demolition of four existing structures (vacant dental office, vacant doctor’s office and the old Christian school house building with associated storage building).

The project would require the following entitlements:
 Approval of a Conditional Use Permit
 Approval of a Planned Unit Overlay District
 Approval of a Lot Merger (condition of approval)
 Adoption of the required CEQA compliance documents
The proposed 3-story 106,894 square foot building features 82 residential senior housing units (3 studio apartments, 46 1-bedroom apartments and 33 2-bedroom apartments). The residential units range from 475 square feet to 1,250 square feet in size, and all units enjoy

3.A
Packet Pg. 136
their own outdoor balcony space. Indoor amenities include a lobby, a formal dining room, a café/bistro, library, fitness/wellness center, a media room, a craft room, multipurpose meeting and event hall rooms, a salon and support centers. Outdoor amenities include landscaped gardens and courtyards, outdoor dining areas, and a pet area. The facility offers resort-like services, such as meal plans up to 45 meals per month and housekeeping included in the monthly rent.

The exterior of the building is a mix of white stucco and red brick to match the architectural style of downtown Ripon. The roof is a combination of flat roof to hide all the mechanical equipment with accents of hipped roof areas around the facility to give it a residential feel.

The main entrance to the building will be off of Vera Avenue and will be adorned with a porte-cochere for resident/guest pick-up and drop-off. Other architectural features of the building include exterior balconies with metal railings for every apartment, metal canopies, and exterior seating areas with wood pergolas.

The project includes a paved covered off-street parking facility which exceeds the City standards. It will include 82 total stalls (46 standard and 36 compact), one space for every unit. The ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) Parking Generation Manual calls for approx. 50 spaces for a facility of this size. All parking stalls meet the City’s standards, which include ten (10) foot wide parking stalls for standard stalls or eight and one-half (8 ½) foot wide stalls for compact stalls. Additionally there is a service loading/unloading area indicated on the site in the north-east vicinity of the site.

Access to the parking areas will be provided by two new commercial driveway approaches, one off of Vera Avenue located at the south-west corner of the parcel and another access located on W. Main Street near the existing entrance to Ripon Grace Church. The entrance on W. Main Street will be modified and relocated further west, away from the Maple Avenue/W. Main Street intersection. This driveway entrance will be reconfigured as a shared driveway access for both Ripon Grace Church and Bethany Home’s proposed project.

The driveway will be constructed as a right-in only driveway. Any traffic proposing to exit at this end of the site will be required to turn right, travel in front of Ripon Grace Church and exit onto Main Street near the mortuary. Bethany’s design team has worked with Ripon Grace Church on the driveway reconfiguration for the shared access. Reciprocal access agreements will be put into place for both parcels as a condition of approval for the project.

Although no lighting has been indicated on the plans, there will be lighting provided which will have to meet City of Ripon standards. Once submitted, the lighting plans will be reviewed in more detail by the Ripon Police Department and Planning Department to ensure adequate site lighting for security around the building and the site, and to ensure that all lighting is appropriately shielded from adjacent properties.

The site plan indicates that the site will contain approximately 16,618 square feet or 14% of landscaping, which exceeds the City’s standard of 10% for the C1 (Neighborhood Commercial) district. The applicant has submitted conceptual landscape plans for the project which include conceptual perimeter landscaping, outdoor dining areas adorned with low hedges, a meditation garden, a social courtyard, a community garden area and an off-leash pet area. Detailed landscaping and irrigation plans will be required to be submitted to the Public Works Department and Planning Department for final approval for design and

3.A
Packet Pg. 137
irrigation, and shall show compliance with the latest State of California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. The landscaping on site will be required to hook into the City’s non-potable water system for irrigation purposes.

Also indicated on the site plan is a trash enclosure located near the south-east corner of the building. The trash enclosure will be required to be covered pursuant to City standards and the design and construction of the enclosure and associated roof system will be required to be architecturally compatible with the main building on-site. Additionally, there is an emergency generator indicated on the site plan. The emergency generator is located in the south-east corner of the site. The generator will be placed within a structure and designed to attenuate any noise to below required noise levels for the site and adjacent residential properties.

The project is subject to CEQA and a detailed CEQA analysis was undertaken for the project.

Areas of concern that arose during the initial study on the project requiring further review included the following:
 Traffic, both vehicle and pedestrian
 Project aesthetics within the context of the existing surrounding neighborhoods  Cultural resources within the context of historical significance Detailed studies were undertaken for each of the above mentioned areas with no significant findings of any concern, after certain mitigation measures as outlined in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQA document) and the associated studies have been attached to this staff report for further information.

On July 6, 2022, a meeting was held with the project proponent and project review committee to review the project and discuss concerns and conditions of approval. Comments received at the meeting and those received through the mail and or phone calls have been incorporated in the Conditions of Approval, where appropriate.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 18, 2022 to review the attached material and provide the public an opportunity to comment on the proposed project. At that meeting only one resident came forward in favor of the project and requested that the applicant consider adding parking for golf carts and electric vehicles on the site. No one wished to speak in opposition of the project.

Subsequently, the Planning Commission took action, with a 5-0 vote, to recommend the City Council approve the proposed project and adopt the mitigated negative declaration for the project.

Findings:

1. Consistency Finding - That the proposed use is consistent with the goals, policies, standards, and maps of the General Plan, any applicable Master Plan, Specific Plan, any

3.A
Packet Pg. 138
Specific Purpose Plan, and any other applicable plan adopted by the City of Ripon.  Staff believes this finding can be made because the proposed use accomplishes the following General Plan Goals:
oLand Use and Growth Accommodations – Goal C
oCirculation and Transportation – Goal A, Goal B and Goal C oCommunity Health and Safety – Goal B, Goal D, Goal E and Goal J o Open Space and Conservation – Goal E
o Housing – Goal A, Goal B, Goal D and Goal E
oEconomic Development – Goal C and Goal D

2. Improvement Finding – Adequate utilities, roadway improvements, sanitation, water supply, drainage, and other necessary facilities have been provided, and the proposed improvements are properly related to existing and proposed roadways.  Staff believes this finding can be made because the project incorporates all of the utility, roadway, water supply and other necessary infrastructure as identified in the City of Ripon’s General Plan and Master Plans.

3. Site Suitability Finding - That the site is physically suitable for the type of use.  Staff believes this finding can be made because the site meets or exceeds all parking, landscaping, setbacks, and related development standards as outlined with the Ripon Municipal Code.

4. Issuance Not Detrimental Finding - That the approval of the request and issuance of the permit will not be detrimental to the health, comfort, or welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the proposed use nor will it be contrary to the general public welfare.
 Staff believes this finding can be made because the project is consistent with all General Plan and development standards, and because the application referral process and the CEQA process has yielded no evidence that the project would be detrimental to the adjacent neighborhood or to the general public welfare.

5. Compatibility Finding - That the use is compatible with adjoining land uses.  Staff believes this finding can be made based upon the visual analysis report and the visual simulations created for the project.

6. That the Ripon Municipal Code expressly allows for such use under certain conditions, and the project meets those conditions.
 Based upon the reasoning set forth in findings 1-5 above, Staff believes this finding can be made.

Re: UP21-70/PUD21-79 Bethany Home Residential Care Facility 816 W Main Street, Ripon, CA 95366
Dear Mitzi:

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review the subject plans. The proposed UP21- 70/PUD21-79 Bethany Home Residential Care Facility is within the same vicinity of PG&E’s existing facilities that impact this property.

The proposed plans indicate that there will be significant development over existing underground electric distribution conduits and that PG&E poles will need to be relocated. The plan submitted show the PG&E poles to be relocated but does not show the existing underground electric distribution conduits. Due to the proposed development, these existing facilities will need to be relocated to provide adequate service to the proposed development. These relocations will be done at one hundred percent developer expense. The applicant needs to contact [email protected] to receive facility mapping that will denote the current location of the existing underground electric distribution conduits and to incorporate said facilities into their plans. Once receiving facility mapping, the applicant may submit an application to relocate facilities with PG&E’s Service Planning department at www.pge.com/cco. Once these two steps are complete the applicant may reach out to Land Agent Lauren Ruby ([email protected]) to discuss the relocations and any cost estimates.

Please contact the Building and Renovation Center (BRSC) for facility map requests by calling 1-877-743-7782 and PG&E’s Service Planning department at www.pge.com/cco for any modification or relocation requests, or for any additional services you may require. As a reminder, before any digging or excavation occurs, please contact Underground Service Alert (USA) by dialing 811 a minimum of 2 working days prior to commencing any work. This free and independent service will ensure that all existing underground utilities are identified and marked on-site.

If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact me at [email protected].

Project: Conditional Use Permit (CUP21-70) for Residential Care Facility District CEQA Reference No: 20211158
Dear Mr. Johnston:

The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (District) has reviewed the project referenced above from the City of Ripon (City). The project consists of the construction of a 106,894 square foot, 82-unit residential care facility with indoor amenities including dining, multipurpose room, fitness center, salon, studio, and support spaces (Project). The Project is located at 816 W Main Street and 200 Vera Avenue, in Ripon, CA (APN 259-180-16, and -17).

The District offers the following comments:
1) Project Related Emissions
At the federal level under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the District is designated as extreme nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone standards and serious nonattainment for the particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) standards. At the state level under California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS), the District is designated as nonattainment for the 8-hour ozone, PM10, and PM2.5 standards.

Based on information provided to the District, Project specific annual emissions from construction and operation emissions of criteria pollutants are not expected to exceed any of the following District significance thresholds: 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide (CO), 10 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases (ROG), 27 tons per year of oxides of sulfur (SOx), 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size (PM10), or 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in size (PM2.5).

December 9, 2021
1a) Construction Emissions
Project construction air emissions are short-term emissions generated from construction activities and are not expected to exceed the District’s significance thresholds. However, the District recommends, to further lessen air quality impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the City consider incorporating the below measure into the Project.

Recommended Measure: To reduce impacts from construction-related diesel exhaust emissions, the Project should utilize clean off-road construction equipment, including the latest tier equipment as feasible. 2) Health Risk Screening/Assessment
The City should evaluate the risk associated with the Project for sensitive receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) in the area and mitigate any potentially significant risk to help limit exposure of sensitive receptors to emissions.

To determine potential health impacts on surrounding receptors (residences, businesses, hospitals, day-care facilities, health care facilities, etc.) a Prioritization and/or a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) should be performed for the Project. These health risk determinations should quantify and characterize potential Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) air pollutants identified by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment/California Air Resources Board (OEHHA/CARB) that pose a present or potential hazard to human health.

Health risk analyses should include all potential air emissions from the project, which include emissions from construction of the facility, including multi-year construction, as well as ongoing operational activities of the facility. Note, two common sources of TACs can be attributed to diesel exhaust emitted from heavy-duty off-road earth moving equipment during construction, and from ongoing operation of heavy-duty on-road trucks. A list of TACs identified by OEHHA/CARB can be found at:
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/documents/carb-identified-toxic-air-contaminants Prioritization (Screening Health Risk Assessment):

A “Prioritization” is the recommended method for a conservative screening-level health risk assessment. The Prioritization should be performed using the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s (CAPCOA) methodology. The District recommends that a more refined analysis, in the form of an HRA, be performed for any project resulting in a Prioritization score of 10 or greater. This is because the prioritization results are a conservative health risk representation, while the detailed HRA provides a more accurate health risk evaluation.

December 9, 2021
To assist land use agencies and project proponents with Prioritization analyses, the District has created a prioritization calculator based on the aforementioned CAPCOA guidelines, which can be found here:
http:www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/emission_factors/Criteria/Toxics/Utilities/PRIORITI ZATION%20RMR%202016.XLS
Health Risk Assessment:

Prior to performing an HRA, it is strongly recommended that land use agencies/development project proponents contact the District to review the proposed health risk modeling protocol. A development project would be considered to have a potentially significant health risk if the HRA demonstrates that the project-related health impacts would exceed the Districts significance threshold of 20 in a million for carcinogenic risk, or 1.0 for either the Acute or Chronic Hazard Indices. A project with a significant health risk would trigger all feasible mitigation measures. The District strongly recommends that development projects that result in a significant health risk not be approved by the land use agency.

The District is available to review HRA protocols and analyses. For HRA submittals please provide the following information electronically to the District for review:
 HRA (AERMOD) model files
 HARP2 files
 Summary of emissions source locations, emissions rates, and emission factor calculations and methodology.

For assistance, please contact the District’s Technical Services Department by:
 E-Mailing inquiries to: [email protected]
 Calling (559) 230-5900
 Visiting the Districts modeling guidance website at:
http://www.valleyair.org/busind/pto/Tox_Resources/AirQualityMonitoring.htm.

Recommended Measure: Development projects resulting in TAC emissions should be located an adequate distance from residential areas and other sensitive receptors in accordance to CARB's Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective.

Recommended Measure: A health risk screening and/or assessment should be performed to assess potential risks to sensitive receptors for all of the following projects:
 Projects whose proposed locations are within the established buffer distances identified in CARB's handbook located at
https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/ch/handbook.pdf

December 9, 2021
 Projects whose land uses are not specifically identified in CARB's handbook (such as shopping centers), but there is sufficient information to reasonably conclude that sensitive receptors would be exposed to significant sources of TACs; and
Projects that would otherwise appear to be exempt from CEQA requirements, but there is sufficient information to reasonably conclude that sensitive receptors would be exposed to significant sources of TACs, such as industrial use projects allowed by right.
3) Ambient Air Quality Analysis
An Ambient Air Quality Analysis (AAQA) uses air dispersion modeling to determine if emissions increases from a project will cause or contribute to a violation of State or National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The District recommends an AAQA be performed for the Project if emissions exceed 100 pounds per day of any pollutant.

An acceptable analysis would include emissions from both project-specific permitted and non-permitted equipment and activities. The District recommends consultation with District staff to determine the appropriate model and input data to use in the analysis.

Specific information for assessing significance, including screening tools and modeling guidance, is available online at the District’s website:
www.valleyair.org/ceqa.
4) On-site Solar Deployment
It is the policy of the State of California that renewable energy resources and zerocarbon resources supply 100% of retail sales of electricity to California end-use customers by December 31, 2045. While various emission control techniques and programs exist to reduce air quality emissions from mobile and stationary sources, the production of solar energy is contributing to improving air quality and public health. The District suggests that the City consider the feasibility of incorporating solar power systems, as an emission reduction strategy for this Project. 5) Clean Lawn and Garden Equipment in the Community
Since the Project consists of residential development, gas-powered residential lawn and garden equipment have the potential to result in an increase of NOx and PM2.5 emissions. Utilizing electric lawn care equipment can provide residents with immediate economic, environmental, and health benefits. The District recommends the Project proponent consider the District’s Clean Green Yard Machines (CGYM) program which provides incentive funding for replacement of existing gas powered The Terraces - Project Condition Letter Packet

lawn and garden equipment. More information on the District CGYM program and funding can be found at: http://www.valleyair.org/grants/cgym.htm and http://valleyair.org/grants/cgym-commercial.htm.
6) Charge Up! Electric Vehicle Charger
To support further installation of electric vehicle charging equipment and development of such infrastructure, the District offers incentives to public agencies, businesses, and property owners of multi-unit dwellings to install electric charging infrastructure (Level 2 and 3 chargers). The purpose of this incentive program is to promote clean air alternative-fuel technologies and the use of low or zero-emission vehicles. The District suggests that the City and Project proponent consider the feasibility of installing electric vehicle chargers for this Project.

Please visit www.valleyair.org/grants/chargeup.htm for more information. 7) District Rules and Regulation
The District issues permits for many types of air pollution sources and regulates some activities not requiring permits. A project subject to District rules and regulation would reduce its impacts on air quality through compliance with regulatory requirements. In general, a regulation is a collection of rules, each of which deals with a specific topic. For example, Regulation II - Permits encompasses multiple rules associated with the permitting of emission sources such as Rule 2010 (Permits Required), Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review), and others. 7a) District Rules 2010 and 2201 - Air Quality Permitting for Stationary Sources Stationary Source emissions include any building, structure, facility, or installation which emits or may emit any affected pollutant directly or as a fugitive emission.

District Rule 2010 requires operators of emission sources to obtain an Authority to Construct (ATC) and Permit to Operate (PTO) from the District. District Rule 2201 requires that new and modified stationary sources of emissions mitigate their emissions using best available control technology (BACT).

This Project may be subject to District Rule 2010 (Permits Required) and Rule 2201 (New and Modified Stationary Source Review) and may require District permits.

Prior to commencing construction on any permit-required equipment or process, a finalized ATC must be issued to the Project proponent by the District. For further information or assistance, the project proponent may contact the District’s Small Business Assistance (SBA) Office at (209) 557-6446.

7b) District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review)
The purpose of District Rule 9510 (Indirect Source Review) is to reduce the growth in both NOx and PM10 emissions associated with development and transportation projects from mobile and area sources associated with construction and operation of development projects. The rule encourages clean air design elements to be incorporated into the development project. In case the proposed project clean air design elements are insufficient to meet the targeted emission reductions, the rule requires developers to pay a fee used to fund projects to achieve off-site emissions reductions.

The proposed Project is subject to District Rule 9510 because it will receive a project-level discretionary approval from a public agency and will equal or exceed 50 residential units. When subject to the rule, an Air Impact Assessment (AIA) application is required no later than applying for project-level approval from a public agency. In this case, if not already done, please inform the project proponent to immediately submit an AIA application to the District to comply with District Rule 9510.

An AIA application is required and the District recommends that demonstration of compliance with District Rule 9510, before issuance of the first building permit, be made a condition of Project approval.

Information about how to comply with District Rule 9510 can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRHome.htm.

The AIA application form can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ISR/ISRFormsAndApplications.htm 7c) District Rule 4002 (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)
In the event an existing building will be renovated, partially demolished or removed, the Project may be subject to District Rule 4002. This rule requires a thorough inspection for asbestos to be conducted before any regulated facility is demolished or renovated. Information on how to comply with District Rule 4002 can be found online at:

8) Potential Air Quality Improvement Measures
The District encourages the following air quality improvement measures to further reduce Project related emissions from construction and operation. A complete list of potential air quality improvement measures can be found online at:
http://www.valleyair.org/ceqaconnected/aqimeasures.aspx. a. Improve Walkability Design – This measure is to improve design elements to enhance walkability and connectivity. Improved street network characteristics within a neighborhood include street accessibility, usually measured in terms of average block size, proportion of four-way intersections, or number of intersections per square mile. Design is also measured in terms of sidewalk coverage, building setbacks, street widths, pedestrian crossings, presence of street trees, and a host of other physical variables that differentiate pedestrian-oriented environments from auto-oriented environments. b. Improve Destination Accessibility – This measure is to locate the project in an area with high accessibility to destinations. Destination accessibility is measured in terms of the number of jobs or other attractions reachable within a given travel time, which tends to be highest at central locations and lowest at peripheral ones. The location of the project also increases the potential for pedestrians to walk and bike to these destinations and therefore reduces the (vehicle miles traveled) VMT.

December 9, 2021
c. Increase Transit Accessibility – This measure is to locate the project with high density near transit which will facilitate the use of transit by people traveling to or from the Project site. The use of transit results in a mode shift and therefore reduced VMT. A project with a residential/commercial center designed around a rail or bus station, is called a transit-oriented development (TOD). The project description should include, at a minimum, the following design features:
 A transit station/stop with high-quality, high-frequency bus service located within a 5-10 minute walk (or roughly ¼ mile from stop to edge of development), and/or
 A rail station located within a 20 minute walk (or roughly ½ mile from station to edge of development)
 Fast, frequent, and reliable transit service connecting to a high percentage of regional destinations
 Neighborhood designed for walking and cycling
9) District Comment Letter
The District recommends that a copy of the District’s comments be provided to the Project proponent.

This project consists of a request to construct a 106,894 square foot three story, 82-unit residential care facility with indoor amenities including dining, multipurpose room, fitness center, salon, studio and support spaces. Outdoor amenities include open courtyard, pet area, gardens and dining areas. The building will be located on two adjacent parcels totaling approximately 2.73 acres. The plan calls for 82 parking spaces for the site including 46 standard stalls and 36 compact stalls. This project is located at 816 W. Main Street and 200 Vera Avenue, Ripon (APN: 259-180-16, -17).

The City of Ripon is a signatory to San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation and Open Space Plan (SJMSCP). Participation in the SJMSCP satisfies requirements of both the state and federal endangered species acts, and ensures that the impacts are mitigated below a level of significance in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP.

This Project is subject to the SJMSCP. This can be up to a 30 day process and it is recommended that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible. It is also recommended that the project applicant obtain an information package. http://www.sjcog.org
Please contact SJMSCP staff regarding completing the following steps to satisfy SJMSCP requirements:
▪ Schedule a SJMSCP Biologist to perform a pre-construction survey prior to any ground disturbance ▪ SJMSCP Incidental take Minimization Measures and mitigation requirement:

1. Incidental Take Minimization Measures (ITMMs) will be issued to the project and must be signed by the project applicant prior to any ground disturbance but no later than six (6) months from receipt of the ITMMs. If ITMMs are not signed within six months, the applicant must reapply for SJMSCP Coverage. Upon receipt of signed ITMMs from project applicant, SJCOG, Inc. staff will sign the ITMMs. This is the effective date of the ITMMs.

2. Under no circumstance shall ground disturbance occur without compliance and satisfaction of the ITMMs.

3. Upon issuance of fully executed ITMMs and prior to any ground disturbance, the project applicant must:
a. Post a bond for payment of the applicable SJMSCP fee covering the entirety of the project acreage being covered (the bond should be valid for no longer than a 6 month period); or b. Pay the appropriate SJMSCP fee for the entirety of the project acreage being covered; or c. Dedicate land in-lieu of fees, either as conservation easements or fee title; or d. Purchase approved mitigation bank credits.

4. Within 6 months from the effective date of the ITMMs or issuance of a building permit, whichever occurs first, the project applicant must:
a. Pay the appropriate SJMSCP for the entirety of the project acreage being covered; or The Terraces - Project Condition Letter Packet

b. Dedicate land in-lieu of fees, either as conservation easements or fee title; or c. Purchase approved mitigation bank credits.

Failure to satisfy the obligations of the mitigation fee shall subject the bond to be called. ▪ Receive your Certificate of Payment and release the required permit It should be noted that if this project has any potential impacts to waters of the United States [pursuant to Section 404 Clean Water Act], it would require the project to seek voluntary coverage through the unmapped process under the SJMSCP which could take up to 90 days. It may be prudent to obtain a preliminary wetlands map from a qualified consultant. If waters of the United States are confirmed on the project site, the Corps and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) would have regulatory authority over those mapped areas [pursuant to Section 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act respectively] and permits would be required from each of these resource agencies prior to grading the project site.

If you have any questions, please call (209) 235-0600.

Dear Mr. Zuidervaart:

Based upon review of the above referenced site plan, there does not appear to be any active District facilities located within the proposed site. However, there is an abandoned pipeline that has been filled with slurry along the west side of the properties. We’ve attached a plan for reference.

Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 249-4620.

Sincerely,

Forrest Killingsworth

NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Notice is hereby given that the City of Ripon has prepared an Initial Study (IS) of environmental effects and intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring/Reporting Plan (MMRP) for the Bethany Home – The Terraces Senior Residential project. The City of Ripon is the Lead Agency for this project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The project proposes to construct a 106,894 square foot, three-story residential care facility on two adjacent parcels (APN #25918016 and 25918017) totaling approximately 2.73 acres. The project proposes 82 residential units with indoor and outdoor amenities. Indoor amenities include lobby, dining and café/bistro, library, fitness/wellness center, multipurpose rooms, salon, and support centers. Outdoor amenities include dining areas, open courtyards, gardens, and pet area. The project includes 46 standard parking stalls and 36 compact stalls.

The IS/MND analyzes the potential environmental effects of the project in the environmental issue areas specified in the State CEQA Guidelines. Based on this analysis, the Public Review Draft IS/MND finds that the project will not involve any significant environmental effects, provided that the mitigation measures described in the IS/MND are implemented. The project proponent has agreed to the mitigation measures, and these measures are included in a MMRP to be adopted by the City of Ripon in conjunction with the IS/MND and approval of the project.

There are no sites identified under Section 65962.5 of the Government Code located on or near the project site.

Copies of the IS/MND are available for public review at the City of Ripon at the address shown above, and at the City’s website:
https://www.cityofripon.org/city_hall/departments/planning The City will accept public and agency comments on the IS/MND during a 20-day review period that will begin on June 25, 2022 and end on July 14, 2022. Comments may be submitted by mail or e-mail to the City at the address shown below or during the City of Ripon Planning Commission meeting Monday, July 18, 2022 at 6:00 PM.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Brief
This document is an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Bethany Home – The Terraces Senior Residential Care Project (project) in Ripon, California. The 2.73-acre project site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Main Street and Vera Avenue in central Ripon (Figures 1-1 to 1-5). The project applicant is Bethany Home Society of San Joaquin County, Incorporated. This IS/MND has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). For the purposes of CEQA, the City of Ripon (City) is the Lead Agency for the project.

The project proposes to construct an 82-residential unit, three-story building on two adjacent parcels totaling 2.73 acres (Figures 2-1 through 2-4, Chapter 2.0). The project also proposes indoor and outdoor amenities available to residents. Indoor amenities will include dining, fitness center, multipurpose room, salon, and support spaces. Outdoor amenities will include dining areas, pet area, open courtyard, and gardens. Access to the project would be from Vera Avenue, and onsite parking spaces would be provided. Water, sewer and storm drainage services would be provided by the City of Ripon. The project would require approvals of a Conditional Use Permit, Planned Unit Development site plan review and design review by the City.

1.2 Purpose of Initial Study
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that public agencies consider and document the potential environmental effects of the agency’s actions that meet CEQA’s definition of a “project.” Briefly summarized, a “project” is an action that has the potential to result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. A project includes the agency’s direct activities as well as activities that involve public agency approvals or funding. Guidelines for an agency’s implementation of CEQA are found in the CEQA Guidelines (Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations).

Provided that a project is not exempt from CEQA, the first step in the agency’s consideration of its potential environmental effects is the preparation of an Initial Study.

The purpose of an Initial Study is to determine whether the project would involve “significant” environmental effects as defined by CEQA and to describe feasible mitigation measures that would avoid significant effects or reduce them to a level that would be less than significant. If the Initial Study does not identify significant effects, or if it identifies mitigation measures that would reduce all the significant effects of the project to a lessthan-significant level, then the agency prepares a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration. If the project would involve significant effects that cannot be readily mitigated, then the agency must prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

Packet Pg. 191 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 1-2 June 2022
agency may also decide to proceed directly with the preparation of an EIR without preparation of an Initial Study.

The proposed project is a “project” as defined by CEQA, and The City has determined it is not exempt from CEQA. The City has determined that the project requires preparation of this Initial Study. The Initial Study describes the proposed project and its environmental setting, it discusses the potentially significant environmental effects of the project, and it identifies feasible mitigation measures that would avoid the potentially significant environmental effects of the project or reduce them to a level that would be less than significant. The Initial Study considers the project’s potential for significant environmental effects in the following subject areas:
• Aesthetics
• Agricultural Resources
• Air Quality
• Biological Resources
• Cultural Resources
• Energy
• Geology and Soils
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Hazards and Hazardous
Materials
• Hydrology and Water Quality
• Land Use and Planning
• Mineral Resources
• Noise
• Population and Housing
• Public Services
• Recreation
• Transportation/Traffic
• Tribal Cultural Resources
• Utilities and Service Systems
• Wildfire
• Mandatory Findings of
Significance
The Initial Study concludes that the project would have significant environmental effects, but that recommended mitigation measures would reduce all these effects to a level that would be less than significant. As a result, the City has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration and notified the public of the City’s intent to adopt the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. A copy of the City’s Notice of Intent is shown just inside the cover of this document. As of the distribution of the IS/MND for public review, the applicant has accepted all the recommended mitigation measures. The time available for comment on the IS/MND is shown in the Notice of Intent prepared for the project.

1.3 Project Background
The project site is in a developed area of central Ripon. The site, located along Main Street, currently contains three existing buildings in various uses. The southernmost parcel is occupied by single-story office/medical units, including the Bethany Home In-Home Care services unit.

The predominant land use in the area is residential and commercial – single-family residences and duplexes predominate south of Main Street while commercial uses are predominant along Main Street. The Ripon Grace Church is located on the parcel immediately east of the project site. North of the project site, across Main Street, is Ripon Christian Preschool.

Packet Pg. 192 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 1-3 June 2022
The Ripon General Plan 2040 Housing Element, an element of the Ripon General Plan 2040, was adopted in 2006 and amended most recently in 2017 to reflect the rising growth cap. The project site is zoned Urban Core (UC) in the Vera Planning District of Ripon.

The Ripon Housing Element 2015-2023 notes that the City of Ripon has shown an increase in the 65+ age group, suggesting a need for additional retirement and adult senior residential facilities. (Ripon Housing Element, 2022)
Bethany Home has been an important staple in the Ripon senior community since 1963.

Beginning as a 74-bed convalescent hospital, it has now expanded to several specialty care and multi-level care facilities. Bethany home offers skilled nursing, assisted living, inhome care, memory care, adult day services and independent living care to the growing senior population in several locations throughout the City of Ripon. The project would add 82 new residential units to the over 400 seniors currently being served by Bethany Home and expand the services and amenities offered to the senior community.

1.4 Environmental Evaluation Checklist Terminology
The project’s potential environmental effects are evaluated in the Environmental Evaluation Checklist shown in Chapter 3.0. The checklist includes a list of environmental considerations against which the project is evaluated. For each question, the City determines whether the project would involve: 1) a Potentially Significant Impact, 2) a Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated, 3) a Less Than Significant Impact, or 4) No Impact.

A Potentially Significant Impact occurs when there is substantial evidence that the project could involve a substantial adverse change to the physical environment, i.e., that the environmental effect may be significant, and mitigation measures have not been defined that would reduce the impact to a less than significant level. If there are one or more Potentially Significant Impact identified in the Initial Study, an EIR is required.

An environmental effect that is Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated is a Potentially Significant Impact that can be avoided or reduced to a level that is less than significant with the application of mitigation measures.

A Less Than Significant Impact occurs when the project would involve effects on an area of environmental concern, but the project would not involve a substantial adverse change to the physical environment and no mitigation measures are required.

A determination of No Impact is self-explanatory.

Some existing regulatory requirements that have been established by the City and other agencies with jurisdiction, and which are routinely implemented in conjunction with new development, function as measures that would tend to reduce or avoid the potential environmental impacts of a project. These requirements are described in this IS/MND as a part of the existing regulatory setting. If these requirements are not considered adequate to The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 193 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 1-4 June 2022
reduce or avoid an environmental impact, this IS/MND identifies additional mitigation measures needed to address the impact. These mitigation measures are described in the appropriate technical section of Chapter 3.0 and are summarized in Table 1-1. All mitigation measures described in this IS/MND are considered feasible and would reduce potentially significant environmental effects of the project to a level that would be less than significant. As of the publication of the Notice of Intent, these mitigation measures have been accepted by the project applicant.

1.4 Summary of Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures The pages following Figures 1-1 through 1-5 contain Table 1-1, Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures. The table summarizes the results of the Environmental Checklist Form and associated narrative discussion of the project’s potential environmental effects shown in Chapter 3.0. The potential environmental impacts of the proposed project are summarized in the left-most column of this table. The projected level of significance of each impact without mitigation is indicated in the second column. Mitigation measures proposed to minimize the significant or potentially environmental effects are shown in the third column, and the significance of the impact, after mitigation measures are applied, is shown in the fourth column.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Project Location
The project site is located on the southeast corner of 816 W. Main Street and 200 Vera Avenue in central Ripon (see Figures 1-1 to 1-5). The project site would occupy two parcels identified as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 259-180-17 and APN 259-180-16. The site is shown on the U.S. Geological Survey Ripon, California, 7.5-minute quadrangle map as being within Section 30, Township 2 South, Range 8 East, Mt. Diablo Base and Meridian.

The approximate latitude and longitude of the project site is 37º 44' 20.48" North and 121º 07' 57.43" West, respectively.

2.2 Project Details
The project proposes to construct one three-story residential care facility with indoor and outdoor amenities on two adjacent parcels totaling approximately 2.73 acres (Figure 2-1).

Residential units will consist of a total of 82 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units available to seniors aged 62 and older. Total floor area of the building would be 106,894 square feet.

Indoor amenities of the project will include a large lobby and centralized living room area, multiple large dining areas, library/lounge, café/bistro, fitness and wellness centers, multipurpose rooms, salon, studio, and support spaces. Outdoor amenities will include open courtyards, landscape and walkways connecting common areas, outdoor dining and lounge areas, fitness and wellness courts, community gardens, and an off-leash pet area.

The main access to the project site would be from Vera Avenue, with secondary access off Main Street. The project would provide 82 parking spaces for residents and visitors which will include 46 standard stalls and 36 compact stalls. Water, sewer, and storm drainage services would be provided by the City or Ripon, and the project would connect to existing utility lines in the vicinity.

The project would require development of existing structures on the site, which consist of older buildings, currently used as a donation center for the Ripon Interfaith Ministries and a medical/office building housing the Bethany Home In-Home Care Services. Demolition would occur under a Demolition Permit issued by the City.

2.3 Permits and Approvals
The proposed residential development is consistent with the current General Plan designation of Urban Core, and it is allowable with a Conditional Use Permit under the current zoning of C-1, Neighborhood Commercial. The project would also require approval of a Planned Unit Development permit and Site Plan/Design Review approval by the City.

Should the project be approved, building permits would be required, along with an The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in the area?
NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site is located in a developed area of central Ripon, with residential and commercial development surrounding the site. The parcel fronting on Main Street consists of older buildings, currently used for storage and as a donation center for the Ripon Interfaith Ministries. Although these structures are of historic age, as discussed in Section

3.5, they have been evaluated by a qualified architectural historian and found not to be of historical significance. The remainder of the parcel consists mostly of overgrown grasses and weeds.

The southern parcel along Vera Avenue consists of a medical office building housing the Bethany Home In-Home Care Services. Both buildings are one story with updated landscaping consisting of garden beds, curbing, grass and small trees. The southeast portion of this parcel is a parking lot with access from Vera Avenue at the southernmost border of the site. Existing development of the project site is consistent with other mixed residential and commercial development in the project vicinity but does not include any buildings or other features of architectural or substantial aesthetic interest.

The recently revised Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines mentions California Public Resources Code Section 21099, which states that the aesthetic and parking impacts of residential, mixed-use residential, or employment center projects on an infill site within a transit priority area shall not be considered significant effects under CEQA. While the project involves residential uses and may be considered an infill project, the project provides senior residential uses, which involve limited transportation impacts, and it is not in a transit priority area. Therefore, Public Resources Code Section 21099 does not apply.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Scenic Vistas.

Scenic vistas have been defined as vantage points with a broad and expansive view of a significant landscape feature, such as a mountain range or coastline. The project site and adjacent lands are surrounded by other urban development and does not access to scenic vistas or distance views. The project involves the construction of a three-story high-density senior residential development with amenities and parking. The proposed structure may partially obstruct whatever views are available from adjacent parcels, but these existing views are not considered important scenic vistas. Project impacts on scenic vistas would be less than significant.
b) Scenic Resources.

The project site is currently developed, but as discussed in the previous section does not contain scenic resources. Existing development of the project will be replaced by the project’s modern architecturally-designed facility. This facility would be consistent with other new development in the Ripon community and would not involve an adverse effect on any existing scenic resources.

According to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) list of designated scenic highways under the California Scenic Highway Program, there are only two officially designated state scenic highways within San Joaquin County: Interstate 5 from the Stanislaus County Line to Interstate 580, and Interstate 580 from Interstate 5 to the Alameda County Line (Caltrans 2018). The project site is not on or near either of these State Scenic Highways. Project impacts on scenic resources would be less than significant. c) Visual Character and Quality.

As viewed from public streets and highways near the project site (Main Street and Vera Avenue), the current aesthetic quality of the project site is unimportant. Existing land uses are consistent in appearance with other older developed portions of Ripon but inconsistent with more recent development, redevelopment and streetscape improvements to the Main Street corridor. As noted in b) above, there are no scenic resources of value on the project site.

The project would remove the existing buildings and landscaping, to be replaced by the proposed new residential building, site improvements and landscaping. Proposed development of the site is architect-designed and would, further, be subject to City site plan and design review in accordance with City planning and design standards.

The overall result may be considered a visual improvement from the nearby streets and adjacent properties.

The project would also require a Conditional Use Permit and a Planned Unit Development Permit and would be subject to any conditions placed on those approvals. d) Light and Glare.

The project would add architectural, security and parking area lighting to a site that currently has minimal on-site lighting. The project site is currently illuminated by existing street lighting along both Main Street and Vera Avenue. Proposed lighting would be consistent with the proposed residential use as well as surrounding residential uses.

Proposed lighting would be subject to City review for consistency with City standards as provided in Section ___ of the Ripon Zoning Code. As a result, project lighting would not result in substantial changes in night lighting in the vicinity of the project site. Project impacts on light and glare would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
There is no evidence of existing or recent agricultural use of the project site in the last approximate two decades. The project site is surrounded by urban development, and there is no agricultural use in the project vicinity.

The Important Farmland Maps, prepared by the California Department of Conservation as part of its Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, designate the viability of lands for farmland use, based on the physical and chemical properties of the soils and other factors.

The maps categorize farmland, in decreasing order of soil quality, as "Prime Farmland," "Unique Farmland," and "Farmland of Statewide Importance." Collectively, these categories are referred to as “Farmland” in the CEQA Checklist in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines and in this document. There are also designations for grazing land and for urban/built-up areas, among others. According to the 2018 Important Farmland Map of San Joaquin County, the most recent Important Farmland map available, the project site is designated as Urban and Built-Up Land (FMMP 2018).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Farmland Conversion.

As noted, the project site is designated Urban and Built-Up Land by the Important Farmland Map. It is not designated as Farmland as defined by CEQA Guidelines Appendix G definition of Farmland; neither the project site nor any of the surrounding lands are in agricultural use. Therefore, the project would not convert Farmland to non-agricultural use. b) Agricultural Zoning and Williamson Act.

As noted, the project area is designated and zoned for commercial and residential uses, not for agriculture. The Williamson Act is State legislation that seeks to preserve farmland by offering property tax breaks to farmers who sign a contract pledging to keep their land in agricultural use. The project site is not under a Williamson Act contract. The project would have no impact on this issue.
c, d) Forest Land Conversion and Zoning.

The project is in a developed urban area; there are no forest lands on the project site or in the vicinity. No land in the project vicinity is zoned as forest land or timberland. The project would have no impact on forest lands.
e) Indirect Conversion of Farmland and Forest Land.

The project site is surrounded by urban development. The project would use existing infrastructure in the vicinity; no new infrastructure would be installed. As previously noted, there are no forest lands in the vicinity. The project would have no impact on indirect conversion of Farmland or forest land.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Air Quality Status
The project site is within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD), which includes Ripon, has jurisdiction over most air quality matters in the Air Basin. The SJVAPCD is tasked with implementing programs and regulations required by both the federal and California Clean Air Acts. Under their respective Clean Air Acts, both the State of California and the federal government have established ambient air quality standards for six criteria air pollutants: ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and lead. California has four additional criteria pollutants under its Clean Air Act.

Table 3-1 shows the current attainment status of the Air Basin relative to the federal and State ambient air quality standards for criteria pollutants. Except for ozone and particulate matter, which are discussed below, the Air Basin is in attainment of, or unclassified for, all federal and State ambient air quality standards.

Air Pollutants of Concern
The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is designated a non-attainment area for ozone. Ozone is not emitted directly into the air. It is formed when reactive organic gases (ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), referred to as “ozone precursors,” react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight. Ozone is a respiratory irritant and an oxidant that increases susceptibility to respiratory infections and can cause substantial damage to vegetation and other materials. The SJVAPCD currently has a 2007 Ozone Plan and a 2013 Plan for the Revoked 1-Hour Ozone Standard for the Air Basin to attain federal ambient air quality standards for ozone.

The Air Basin is also designated a non-attainment area for respirable particulate matter, a mixture of solid and liquid particles suspended in air, including dust, pollen, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. Health concerns associated with suspended particulate matter focus on those particles small enough to reach the lungs when inhaled; consequently, both the federal and state air quality standards for particulate matter apply to particulates 10 micrometers or less in diameter (PM10) as well as to particulates less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5), which are carried deeper into the lungs. Acute and chronic health effects associated with high particulate levels include the aggravation of chronic respiratory diseases, heart and lung disease, coughing, bronchitis, and respiratory illnesses in children.

The SJVAPCD currently has a 2007 PM10 Maintenance Plan to maintain the Air Basin’s The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 219 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-7 June 2022
attainment status for federal PM10 ambient air quality standards, and a 2008 PM2.5 Plan for the Air Basin to attain federal PM2.5 ambient air quality standards.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas that is highly toxic. It is formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels and is emitted directly into the air, unlike ozone. The main source of CO in the San Joaquin Valley is on-road motor vehicles (SJVAPCD 2015). The San Joaquin Valley Air Basin is in attainment/unclassified status for CO; as such, the SJVAPCD has no CO attainment plans. High CO concentrations may occur in areas of limited geographic size, sometimes referred to as “hot spots,” which are ordinarily associated with areas of highly congested traffic.

In addition to the criteria pollutants, the California Air Resources Board (ARB) has identified other air pollutants as toxic air contaminants (TACs) - pollutants that may cause acute serious, long-term effects, such as cancer, even at low levels. Diesel particulate matter is the most common TAC, generated mainly as a product of combustion in diesel engines. Other TACs are less common and are typically associated with industrial activities.

Air Quality Rules and Regulations
As previously noted, the SJVAPCD has jurisdiction over most air quality matters in the Air Basin. It implements the federal and California Clean Air Acts, and the applicable attainment and maintenance plans, through local regulations. The SJVAPCD has developed plans to attain State and federal standards for ozone and particulate matter, which include emissions inventories to measure the sources of air pollutants and the use of computer modeling to estimate future levels of pollution and make sure that the Valley will meet air quality goals (SJVAPCD 2015). A State Implementation Plan for carbon monoxide has been adopted by the ARB for the entire state. The SJVAPCD regulations that would be applicable to the project are summarized below.

Regulation VIII (Fugitive Dust PM10 Prohibitions)
Rules 8011-8081 are designed to reduce PM10 emissions (predominantly dust/dirt) generated by human activity, including construction and demolition activities, road construction, bulk materials storage, paved and unpaved roads, carryout and track out, landfill operations, etc.

Rule 4101 (Visible Emissions)
This rule prohibits emissions of visible air contaminants to the atmosphere and applies to any source operation that emits or may emit air contaminants.

SJVAPCD also has Rule 9510, known as the Indirect Source Rule, which requires specific percentage reductions in estimated on-site construction and operation emissions of NOx and PM10 from new development in the SJVAPCD, or payment of off-site mitigation fees if onsite reductions cannot be met. Rule 9510 applies to residential development projects of at least 50 units; as a result, the project would be subject to Rule 9510.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
In 2015, the SJVAPCD adopted a revised Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI). GAMAQI defines an analysis methodology, thresholds of significance, and mitigation measures for the assessment of air quality impacts for projects within SJVAPCD’s jurisdiction. Table 3-2 shows the CEQA thresholds for significance for pollutant emissions within the SJVAPCD. The significance thresholds apply to emissions from both project construction and project operations.

Sources: CalEEMod Version 2016.3.2, SJVAPCD 2015.
a) Air Quality Plan Consistency.

The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) was used to estimate both construction and operational emissions associated with the proposed project. The CalEEMod results are shown in Appendix A of this document, and Table 3-2 shows the maximum project construction emissions in a calendar year and the annual unmitigated operational emissions based on the CalEEMod run. As indicated in Table 3-2, project construction and operational emissions would not exceed the applicable SJVAPCD significance thresholds, including those for NOx, particulate matter, and CO. Because of this, project impacts related to air quality plans would be less than significant.

While project construction emissions would not be significant, the project would still be required to comply with applicable SJVAPCD rules and regulations, which would further reduce potential air quality impacts. As noted, SJVAPCD Regulation VIII contains measures to reduce fugitive dust emissions during construction. Dust control provisions are also routinely included in site improvement plans and specifications, along with construction contracts. Application of these requirements would further reduce project impacts related to air quality plans that are already less than significant.

Packet Pg. 221 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-9 June 2022
b) Cumulative Emissions
As described above, the project would not generate operational emissions above SJVAPCD significance thresholds. The significance thresholds are applied to evaluate regional impacts of project-specific emissions of air pollutants. Regional impacts of a project can be characterized in terms of total annual emissions of criteria pollutants and their impact on SJVAPCD’s ability to reach attainment of criteria pollutant standards. On that basis, the proposed project would not result in a considerable contribution to a significant cumulative air quality impact in the Air Basin. Project impacts related to cumulative emissions would be less than significant.
c) Exposure of Sensitive Receptors to Pollutants.

As defined in GAMAQI, sensitive receptors include residences, schools, parks and playgrounds, day care centers, nursing homes, and hospitals (SJVAPCD 2015). The project site is adjacent to residential areas to the east, south, and west. As noted, project construction and operational emissions would be below SJVAPCD significance thresholds for criteria pollutants. Implementation of applicable SJVAPCD rules and regulations, especially Regulation VIII, would further reduce emissions, making them less likely to reach these sensitive land uses.

A CO hotspot is an area of localized CO pollution that is caused by severe vehicle congestion on major roadways, typically near intersections. CO hotspots have the potential to expose receptors to emissions that violate state and/or federal CO standard even if the broader Basin is in attainment for federal and state levels. The GAMAQI indicates that a project would create no violations of the CO standards if neither of the following criteria are met (SJVAPCD 2015):
• A traffic study for the project indicates that the Level of Service (LOS) on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity will be reduced to LOS E or F; or
• A traffic study indicates that the project will substantially worsen an already existing LOS F on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity (See Section 3.17, Transportation, for an explanation of LOS).

As noted in Section 3.17, Transportation, the project would not generate a significant volume of traffic; therefore, intersections that may be affected by the project would not experience reductions in LOS to levels of E or F. Therefore, the project would have no adverse impact related to CO emissions.

Overall, the pollutant emissions estimated to be generated by the project are unlikely to reach nearby sensitive receptors at levels that would have an adverse impact. The potential exposure of sensitive receptors to pollutant emissions would be less than significant.

d) Odors and Other Emissions.

Residential development does not generate substantial odors that would affect nearby land uses, nor would it generate other significant emissions such as TACs such as diesel particulate matter. The project would have no impact related to odors or other emissions.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site is currently developed with commercial structures and related site improvements. The predominant vegetation on the undeveloped portions of the site is overgrown grasses and weeds. There are no streams, ponds, or other waters on or adjacent The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i

to the project site. One large maple tree is located near the center of the northern parcel.

No blue elderberry shrubs were observed on the project site.

The project site is surrounded by existing urban development with high levels of activity and nearby roads with moderate vehicle traffic. Wildlife and plant habitat values of the site are correspondingly low. No mammal use and no burrows potentially used by mammals, such as California ground squirrel, were observed on the site. No substantial bird use was noted during BaseCamp Environmental visits to the site, although the existing trees are potential nesting sites.

Special-Status Species
Special-status species are plant or wildlife species that are in one or more of the following categories:
• Legally protected under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), or other regulations.
• Designated rare, threatened, or endangered and candidate species for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
• Considered rare enough by the scientific community and trustee agencies to warrant special consideration, particularly with regard to protection of isolated populations, nesting or denning locations, communal roosts, and other essential habitat. • Considered rare or endangered under the conditions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15380, such as species identified on Lists 1A, 1B and 2 in the Inventory of Rare and Endangered Vascular Plants of California by the California Native Plant Society, and species that are considered sensitive or of special concern due to limited distribution or lack of adequate information to permit listing or rejection for state or federal status, such as those included on List 3 in the California Native Plant Society Inventory.

A search was conducted of the USFWS’ IPaC database and the California Natural Diversity Database maintained by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to determine the potential presence of special-status species in the vicinity of the project site. The results of these searches are described below.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Special-Status Species.

The IPaC search indicated the presence of seven species listed under ESA in the project vicinity. Appendix C contains the IPaC search results. The seven species and their likelihood of occurring on the project site are described below:
• Riparian Brush Rabbit (Endangered) – Unlikely: project site and surrounding areas are urbanized and unsuitable for habitation.

Packet Pg. 224 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-12 June 2022
• Giant garter snake (Threatened) – Unlikely: requires aquatic habitat and adjacent upland area, neither of which are available on the project site. • California red-legged frog (Threatened) – Unlikely: requires aquatic habitat and adjacent upland area, neither of which are available on the project site. • California tiger salamander (Threatened) – Unlikely: habitat is grasslands and low foothills with pools or ponds, which are not available on the project site. • Delta smelt (Threatened) – Unlikely: found in channels and sloughs of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The project site is not on or near any channels or sloughs.
• Valley elderberry longhorn beetle (Threatened) – Unlikely: requires elderberry shrubs, which are not found on the project site.
• Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Threatened) – Unlikely: requires vernal pools, which are not found on the project site.
• Vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Endangered) – Unlikely: requires vernal pools, which are not found on the project site.

A search of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) identified 45 specialstatus species as potentially occurring in the Ripon USGS topographical map quadrangle.

Appendix C contains the CNDDB search results. All but three of these species were also identified in the IPaC database and were considered unlikely to occur (giant garter snake, California red-legged frog, and Delta smelt were not listed in the CNDDB).

The species listed in the CNDDB results generally require habitat that is aquatic or has substantial open spaces or natural vegetation. The project site, being a developed area within a city, has none of these habitats. The CNDDB indicates the potential presence of two special-status species known to occur in the project vicinity: burrowing owl and Swainson’s hawk. Burrowing owl, a State Species of Special Concern, typically requires burrows made by ground squirrels for nesting. No ground squirrels or burrows were observed on the project site. Swainson’s hawk, a bird species listed as Threatened under CESA, requires suitable foraging habitats such as grasslands or alfalfa fields supporting rodents, along with trees suitable for nesting. The project site does not contain either of these features.

In summary, since the project site contains no habitats for special-status species that may occur in the area, it is unlikely that the project would affect special-status species or their habitat. Project impacts on special-status species would be less than significant. b) Riparian and Other Sensitive Habitats.

As noted, there are no streams and no riparian habitat. No potential vernal pools or other sensitive habitats were observed on the site. The project would have no impact on riparian and other sensitive habitats.

c) State and Federal Jurisdictional Wetlands.

Waters of the U.S., including wetlands, are broadly defined under 33 Code of Federal Regulations 328 to include navigable waterways, their tributaries, and adjacent wetlands. “Waters of the State”, subject to oversight by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) with jurisdiction over the affected water, include isolated wetlands not covered by federal regulations. d) Fish and Wildlife Movement.

There are no streams either on or adjacent to the project site, so no fish movements would be affected by the project. There are few large trees on or near the site, and potential raptor foraging habitat (i.e., open fields) available. Development of the project would not result in any substantial loss of nesting or foraging habitat for protected migratory birds This potential would be less than significant.
e) Local Biological Requirements.

No local biological requirements have been enacted by the City. The project would have no impact on local biological requirements.
f) Conflict with Habitat Conservation Plans.

The San Joaquin County Multi-Species Open Space and Habitat Conservation Plan (SJMSCP) is a comprehensive plan for assessing and mitigating the biological impacts of converting open space or biologically sensitive lands to urban development in San Joaquin County and its incorporated cities. For the conversion of open space to non-open space uses that affect covered plant, fish, and wildlife species, the SJMSCP provides three compensation methods: preservation of existing sensitive lands, creation of new comparable habitat on the project site, or payment of fees that would be used to secure preserve lands outside the project site. In addition to fee payments, the SJMSCP identifies Incidental Take Minimization Measures - protection measures that avoid direct impacts of development on special-status species - with which projects are required to comply (SJCOG 2000). The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) implements the SJMSCP on a project-by-project basis.

The City participates in the SJMSCP and requires that new development will comply with applicable provisions and measures of the SJMSCP. No other habitat conservation plans apply to the project site. The project would have no impact related to conflict with habitat conservation plans.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Information for this section is provided primarily from a Historical Resource Evaluation (HRE) of the project site prepared by Evans and DeShazo, shown in Appendix C of this document. The report evaluated the potential of existing buildings on the project as significant historical resources. Background research was conducted through the Central California Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System, along with additional archival research. Evans and DeShazo also conducted a field survey of the project site in conjunction with the HRE.

Environmental Setting
Prehistoric populations in the San Joaquin Valley were concentrated along river channels such as the Stanislaus River, as these were the areas with the richest available natural resources. The project site lies in the ethnographic territory of the Northern Valley Yokuts.

Due to the location of the project site in urbanized Ripon and the developed condition of the site, archaeological research on the prehistory of the Ripon area was limited to a review of the CHRIS archaeological data base.

A detailed historical description of Ripon and the surrounding region is provided in Appendix C, which details the early settlement patterns of the area, including the history of public schools and Christian schools in Ripon. Christian school development in Ripon began in November of 1924, when a group of mainly Dutch citizens, led by Reverend John DeJong (Rev. DeJong), “recognized the necessity of Christian education for their children and founded the Society for Christian Instruction.” The Christian Reformed Church sponsored the organization with Rev. DeJong as the president until 1928.The organization operated as a non-profit and relied on donations and gifts from members and had no state aid or tax funds. In 1928, five acres were purchased, and within four months, the school was constructed and opened on the project site with 71 pupils in Grades 1 through 6.

The portion of the project site fronting on Main Street contains the Ripon Christian School buildings constructed in 1928, which consist of the main school building, auxiliary building and the associated landscape. These buildings will need to be demolished in conjunction The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

with the project. Due to their age, the buildings and surroundings were evaluated in conjunction with the preparation of this Initial Study for their historical significance as documented in the Evans and DeShazo HRE, shown in Appendix C.

The HRE included a review of a CHRIS record search to obtain primary records associated with the property and any previous cultural resource inventories. Evans and DeShazo also conducted online research, including at the San Joaquin County Assessor/Recorder Office, the San Joaquin Historical Museum, and the Ripon Historical Society. Evans and DeShazo reviewed digital documents, such as historical maps, historical aerial photographs, and other primary source documents. The purpose of the research was to understand the history of the site and the surrounding area to assist in developing a historical context for evaluation of the historical significance of the buildings on the site. Principal Architectural Historian Stacey DeShazo, M.A. completed an architectural survey in April 2022 to identify the age, architectural style or form, character-defining features, materials, and alterations of the buildings and associated landscape.

A detailed description of architectural features and other elements of the site are discussed in detail in Appendix C. The architectural style of the buildings is described in the HRE as a “modest” example of Mission Revival architecture. The buildings on the project site were compared to other representative examples of Mission Revival architecture in the general vicinity. Although the Ripon Christian School buildings contain elements of Mission Revival design, such as its general form, the curvilinear parapet, and arched window and door openings, there is nothing distinguishing about this example, and it was not designed by an architect or designer known for their work in Mission Revival design. Moreover, the 1928 Ripon Christian School was constructed outside the accepted period (1890 to 1920) for Mission Revival architecture, and, in the professional opinion of Evans and DeShazo, would have to be exceptional in design and construction to be considered significant outside the accepted period of the style. Finally, besides the three representative examples considered in the HRE, there are other representative Mission Revival buildings within San Joaquin County that are more closely associated with the Mission Revival design style.

On the basis of this analysis, Evans and DeShazo concluded that the 1920 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape are not individually eligible for listing on the California Register of Historic Resources and are therefore not considered “historical resources” as defined by CEQA (Guidelines Section 15064.5).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Historical Resources.

As noted, a records search conducted by the Central California Information Center found no documented historic resources on the project site. The Historic Resources Evaluation (HRE) prepared by Evans and DeShazo considered the potential historic value of buildings and improvements on the project site but concluded that they are not individually eligible for listing on the California Register of Historic Resources and are therefore not considered “historical resources” as defined by CEQA. As a consequence, the demolition and removal The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

Packet Pg. 228 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-16 June 2022
of these structures would not adversely affect a historical resource. The project would have a less than significant impact on historical resources. b) Archaeological Resources.

A records search conducted at the Central California Information Center found no documented archaeological resources on the project site. Given past urbanization and other disturbance of the project site, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources would be found intact.

However, it is conceivable that excavation associated with the project could unearth archaeological materials of significance that are currently unknown. Procedures to address archaeological discoveries if they should occur are set forth in the mitigation measure below. Implementation of this mitigation would reduce potential impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures:

CULT-1: If any subsurface cultural resources are encountered during project construction, all construction activities within 50 feet of the encounter shall be halted until a qualified archaeologist can examine these materials, determine their significance, and, if significant, recommend mitigation measures that would reduce potential effects to a level that is less than significant. Recommended measures could include, but are not limited to, 1) preservation in place, or 2) excavation, recovery, and curation by qualified professionals. The City of Ripon Community Development Department shall be notified, and the project developer shall be responsible for retaining qualified professionals, implementing recommended mitigation measures, and documenting mitigation efforts in a written report to the City’s Community Development Department consistent with the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines. If burial resources or tribal cultural resources are discovered, the City shall notify the County Coroner and the appropriate tribal representatives, who may examine the materials with the archaeologist and advise the City as to their significance and disposition.

Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant
c) Human Burials.

As with other cultural resources, it is not expected that any human burials would be uncovered by construction on the project site. However, it is conceivable that excavation associated with the project could uncover a previously unknown burial.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e) describes the procedure to be followed when human remains are uncovered in a location outside a dedicated cemetery. All work in the vicinity of the find shall be halted, and the County Coroner shall be notified to determine if an The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

investigation of the death is required, in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5. If it is determined that the remains are Native American in origin, then the County Coroner must contact the Native American Heritage Commission within 24 hours.

The Native American Heritage Commission shall identify the most likely descendants of the deceased Native American, and the most likely descendants may make recommendations on the disposition of the remains and any associated grave goods with appropriate dignity. If a most likely descendant cannot be identified, the descendant fails to make a recommendation, or the landowner rejects the recommendations of the most likely descendant, then the landowner shall rebury the remains and associated grave goods with appropriate dignity on the property in a location not subject to further disturbance.

Compliance with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e) would ensure that any human remains and associated grave goods encountered during project construction would be treated with appropriate dignity. Project impacts on human remains would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Electricity is a major energy source for residences and businesses in California. In San Joaquin County, based upon the most recent information available, electricity consumption in 2019 totaled approximately 5,583 million kilowatt-hours, of which approximately 1,893 million kilowatt-hours were consumed by residential uses and the remainder by nonresidential uses (CEC 2021a). In 2019, natural gas consumption in San Joaquin County totaled approximately 259 million therms, of which approximately 89 million therms were consumed by residential uses and the remainder by non-residential uses (CEC 2021b).

Motor vehicle trips also account for substantial energy usage. The SJCOG estimated countywide daily vehicle miles traveled (VMT) was 17,868,785 miles in 2015, which led to the consumption of approximately 511 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel (SJCOG 2018b).

The State of California has adopted comprehensive energy efficiency standards as part of its Building Standards Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24. The State has also The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 230 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-18 June 2022
adopted the California Green Building Standards Code, also known as CALGreen.

CALGreen sets forth mandatory measures, applicable to new residential and nonresidential structures as well as additions and alterations, on water efficiency and conservation, building material conservation, and interior environmental quality. It also mentions energy efficiency, although CALGreen defers to Title 24 for actions. The City has adopted the 2019 version of CALGreen.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Project Energy Consumption.

Project construction would involve fuel consumption and use of other non-renewable resources. Construction equipment used for such improvements typically runs on diesel fuel or gasoline. The same fuels typically are used for vehicles that transport equipment and workers to and from a construction site. However, construction-related fuel consumption would be finite, short-term and consistent with construction activities of a similar character. This energy use would not be considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary.

Electricity may be used for equipment operation during construction activities. It is expected that more electrical construction equipment would be used in the future, as it would generate fewer air pollutant emissions. This electrical consumption would be consistent with construction activities of a similar character; therefore, the use of electricity in construction activities would not be considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary, especially since fossil fuel consumption would be reduced. Moreover, under California’s Renewables Portfolio Standard, a greater share of electricity would be provided from renewable energy sources over time, so less fossil fuel consumption to generate electricity would occur. Section 3.8, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, discusses the Renewables Portfolio Standard in detail.

The project would be required to comply with applicable provisions of Title 24 and the adopted CALGreen in effect at the time of project approval. The provisions of these codes are intended to increase energy efficiency of buildings, thereby reducing energy consumption. Compliance with these standards would reduce energy consumption associated with project operations. Overall, project construction and operations would not consume energy resources in a manner considered wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary.

Project impacts related to energy consumption would be less than significant. b) Consistency with Energy Plans.

The City does not have adopted renewable energy or energy efficiency plans but has adopted the 2019 version of CALGreen, which contain provisions that promote energy efficiency. The project would be required to comply with the applicable requirements of CALGreen and Title 24, which are designed to improve energy efficiency of structure, thereby forwarding State energy conservation goals. Project impacts related to energy plans would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Topography and Geology
The project site lies in the San Joaquin Valley in central California. The San Joaquin Valley is the southern portion of the Great Valley Geomorphic Province, which is a topographically flat, northwest-trending, structural trough about 50 miles wide and 450 miles long. The San Joaquin Valley is filled with thick sedimentary rock sequences that were deposited as much as 130 million years ago. The Geologic Map of the San Francisco The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i

– San Jose Quadrangle (Wagner et al. 1991) designates the underlying geology of the project site as the Modesto Formation, consisting of geologically recent sediments.

Project Site Soils
Most of the soils in the San Joaquin Valley consist of sand, silt, loamy clay alluvium, peat, and other organic sediments. These soils are the result of long-term natural soil deposition and the decomposition of marshland vegetation. According to a custom soil survey obtained for the project site, there are two soil types on the project site (SCS 1992, NRCS 2022):
• Delhi loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes. This is a deep, excessively drained soil type. Permeability is very rapid in this soil, which has very low water-holding capacity and produces little to no runoff. The wind erosion hazard is severe, and water erosion is evident where irrigation water has been applied too rapidly. The shrink-swell potential of this soil is low. The risk of corrosion is high for uncoated steel and low for concrete. This is the predominant soil type on the project site. • Honker-Vallecito-Gonzaga complex, 30 to 50 percent slopes. This is a welldrained soil. It formed in Residuum weathered from sandstone. The permeability of Honker-Vallecito-Gonzaga soil is slow, and runoff is high. Water erosion and wind erosion hazard is slight. The expansive potential of this soil is low.

For all projects that disturb one acre of land or more, a Construction General Permit is required from the SWRCB. The permit requirements include preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a Qualified SWPPP Developer to address potential water quality issues. A SWPPP specifies the Best Management Practices (BMPs) needed to avoid or minimize adverse water quality impacts. Construction BMPs fall within the general categories of Temporary Soil Stabilization, Temporary Sediment Control, Wind Erosion Control, Tracking Control, Non-Storm Water Management, and Waste Management and Materials Pollution Control. BMPs applicable to the project are incorporated in the SWPPP as required. BMPs are incorporated into project improvement plans and specifications, subject to the approval of the City Engineer. BMP function and effectiveness are monitored and reported, and remediation is required to address pollution occurrence.

Seismic and Geologic Hazards
No faults have been mapped in or near the City of Ripon. The nearest faults are the smaller Tracy-Stockton fault and a small fault extending from Banta to Stanislaus County (Ripon General Plan 2040, 2022). Outside the County are several faults that are known to be active.

The San Andreas system is the most widely known. This system comprises several individually named fault zones in the San Francisco Bay area, the principal ones being the San Andreas, Hayward, and Calaveras. Information indicates that ground shaking along these faults can produce damage within the County that reaches varying intensities. East of San Joaquin County, the Melones Fault and the Bear Mountain Fault have been identified.

These are not judged to pose a seismic threat to the County (USGS 2022).

Packet Pg. 233 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-21 June 2022
When coarse sediments are saturated and compact during an earthquake, soils may lose strength and become fluid, a process called liquefaction. Water from voids may be forced to the ground surface, where it emerges in the form of mud spouts or sand boils. The San Joaquin County General Plan states that the City is not within any areas identified by the California Geological Survey as having a high liquefaction potential (SJC General Plan, 2016).

Paleontological Resources
Paleontological resources are fossils or groups of fossils that are unique, unusual, rare, uncommon, or important, and that add to an existing body of knowledge in specific areas.

Surface examination of a study or project area often does not reveal whether paleontological resources are present. A record search of the Museum of Paleontology at the University of California in Berkeley indicated that 97 paleontological finds have been made in the County (UCMP 2020). Most specimens from the County have been found in rock formations in the foothills of the Diablo Mountain Range. However, remains of extinct animals, such as mammoth, may be found in the predominant Modesto Formation but may also be found virtually anywhere in the County, especially along watercourses such as the San Joaquin River and its tributaries (San Joaquin County 2016).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a-i) Fault Rupture Hazards.

No faults, including active or potentially active faults, have been mapped in the Ripon area.

The project site is not in an area designated as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (California Geological Survey 2018). The closest designated active fault is the Vernalis fault, approximately 29 miles to the west of the project site. The project would have no impact related to a fault rupture hazard.
a-ii, iii) Seismic Hazards.

As noted above, the project site is potentially subject to ground shaking from nearby fault systems, which represent a hazard to buildings and infrastructure. All new buildings in Ripon are required to be built in accordance with the most recent version of the California Building Code adopted by the City. The California Building Code includes provisions related to seismic safety, compliance with which requires buildings, based on occupancy type, to be constructed to withstand anticipated ground shaking. Liquefaction is unlikely to occur, given the depth to the groundwater table at the project site. Project impacts related to seismic hazards are considered less than significant. a-iv) Landslides.

The topography of the project area and surrounding area is flat; therefore, landslides would not occur. The project would have no impact related to this issue. b) Soil Erosion.

As noted above, both soil types on the project site have a low potential for water erosion and a moderate potential for wind erosion.

Packet Pg. 234 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-22 June 2022
The project would be required to obtain a Construction General Permit from the SWRCB and to comply with its provisions, including preparation of a SWPPP, which is required by the mitigation measure below. Compliance with the mitigation measure, along with other applicable regulations, would minimize the amount of sediment that leaves the construction site and potential construction water quality effects, thereby reducing soil erosion impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures:

GEO-1: Prior to commencement of construction activity, the developer shall prepare and implement a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for the project and file a Notice of Intent with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in compliance with the
Construction General Permit and City of Ripon storm water requirements. The SWPPP shall be available on the construction site at all times. The developer shall incorporate an Erosion Control Plan consistent with all applicable provisions of the SWPPP within the site improvement and building plans. The developer also shall submit the SWRCB Waste Discharger’s Identification Number to the City prior to approval of development or grading plans.

Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant
c) Geologic Instability.

Ground failure induced by seismic activity is a factor in making some lands unsuitable for development. None of the area within the Ripon General Plan area, which includes the project site, is composed of geological formations susceptible to such failure. As noted, all new development must comply with the California Building Code adopted at the time of project approval. The code contains provisions that would minimize soil stability hazards.

Project impacts related to geologic instability would be less than significant. d) Expansive Soils.

As noted, soils on the project site have a low expansivity potential. As such the soils are not expected to adversely affect buildings or infrastructure installed on the project site. The project would have no impact related to expansive soils. e) Adequacy of Soils for Sewage Disposal.

The project would be connected to the City’s sewer system. It would not use, and does not propose to install, any septic systems or alternative disposal systems. The project would have no impact related to soil adequacy for sewage disposal. f) Paleontological Resources and Unique Geological Features.

The project site is flat and contains no geological features that may be considered unique.

paleontological finds. Given past agricultural activities on the project site, it is unlikely that any intact paleontological resources would be encountered during shallow excavation work. Currently unknown resources may be uncovered during deeper excavation associated with the project. Procedures to address paleontological discoveries if they should occur are set forth in the mitigation measure below. Implementation of this mitigation would reduce potential paleontological impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures:

GEO-2: If any subsurface paleontological resources are encountered during construction of the project, all construction activities within 50 feet of the encounter shall be halted until a qualified paleontologist can examine these materials, determine their significance and, if significant, recommend further mitigation measures that would reduce potential effects to a level that is less than significant. Recommended measures may include, but are not limited to, 1) preservation in place, or 2) excavation, recovery, and curation by qualified professionals. The City of Ripon Planning, Building and Economic Development Department shall be notified, and the project developer shall be responsible for retaining qualified professionals, implementing recommended mitigation measures, and documenting mitigation efforts in a written report to the City’s Planning, Building and Economic Development Department, consistent with the requirements of the CEQA Guidelines.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
GHG Background
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are gases that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range, trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere. GHGs are both naturally occurring and are emitted by human activity. Increased atmospheric concentrations of GHGs are considered a primary contributor to global climate change, which is a subject of concern for the State of California. Potential climate change impacts occurring in the San Joaquin Valley include more intense and frequent heat waves, higher frequency of catastrophic floods, more intense and frequent drought, and more severe and frequent wildfires (Westerling et al. 2018).

GHG emissions in California in 2018, the most recent year for which data are available, were estimated at approximately 425 million metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) – a decrease of approximately 13% from the peak level in 2004. Transportation was the largest contributor to GHG emissions in California, with approximately 40% of total emissions. Other significant sources include industrial activities, with approximately 21% of total emissions, and electric power generation, both in-state and imported, with approximately 15% of total emissions (ARB 2020).

Unlike the criteria air pollutants described in Section 3.3, Air Quality, GHGs have no “attainment” standards established by the federal or State government. In fact, GHGs are not generally thought of as traditional air pollutants because their impacts are global in nature, while air pollutants mainly affect the general region of their release to the atmosphere (SJVAPCD 2015). Nevertheless, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that GHG emissions endanger both the public health and public welfare under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act due to their impacts associated with climate change (EPA 2009).

GHG Emission Reduction Plans
The State of California has implemented GHG emission reduction strategies and legislation in recent years. Most recently, in 2016, Senate Bill (SB) 32 was enacted. SB 32 mandates statewide reductions in GHG emissions to levels that are 40% below 1990 levels by the year 2030. The State adopted a Scoping Plan in 2017 that sets forth strategies for achieving the SB 32 target. The updated Scoping Plan continues many of the programs that were part of the previous Scoping Plans, including the cap-and-trade program, low-carbon fuel standards, renewable energy, and methane reduction strategies. It also addresses, for the first time, GHG emissions from the natural and working lands of California, including the agriculture and forestry sectors (ARB 2017). The 2017 Scoping Plan is currently in the process of being updated.

Cities and counties throughout California have prepared Climate Action Plans that outline how the local government will reduce GHG emissions, which are typically related to the 2020 emission reduction target set in the State’s Climate Change Scoping Plan.

currently has no adopted Climate Action Plan or other GHG reduction plan, and the 2020 target date has passed.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Project GHG Emissions and Consistency with GHG Reduction Plans.

The CalEEMod model estimated the total GHG construction and operational emissions associated with the project (see Appendix A). Table 3-3 presents the results of the CalEEMod run.

Sources: California Emissions Estimator Model v. 2020.4.0. “Mitigated emissions” are the result of project compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, along with inclusion of project features that reduce GHG emissions. These include the following:
• The density of residential development on the project site. • Increase in the diversity of land uses in the area.
• The project site has a transit stop on the west side along Vera Street. • The project site is approximately 0.2 miles from Downtown Ripon. • The project would add sidewalks to the site that would connect to the existing network in the vicinity.
• SB X7-7 in 2009 sets an overall goal of reducing per capita urban water use by 20% by December 31, 2020. The California Green Building Code mandates a 20% reduction in indoor water use.
• AB 341 establishes the goal of diverting 75% of California’s waste stream from landfills by 2020.

Packet Pg. 238 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-26 June 2022
GHG construction emissions would be limited due to the length of time of construction activity; these emissions would cease once work is completed. Mitigated operational GHG emissions would be approximately 40% less than under business-as-usual (unmitigated) conditions.

The project would be consistent with the reduction targets of the State’s 2017 Scoping Plan, which proposes various measures to achieve the 2030 target set under SB 32. Most of these are State measures, such as use of the cap-and-trade program, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Plan, and achievement of the 50% renewable sources of electricity in the Renewables Portfolio Standard. Based on estimates in the 2017 Scoping Plan, State actions would account for 89.8% of GHG reductions needed by 2030, with local actions responsible for approximately 9.3% of reductions to meet the 2030 target. A project that can show GHG reductions greater than 9.3% from business-as-usual conditions can be said to be consistent with the reduction goals of SB 32. The 24.9% reduction associated with the project would exceed this local share.

As noted above, the project includes features that would reduce GHG emissions. These features would be consistent with the policies and implementation strategies of the Ripon General Plan described above. Overall, impacts related to GHG emissions and GHG reduction plans would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
This section focuses on hazards associated with hazardous materials, proximity to airports, and wildfires. Geologic and soil hazards are addressed in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils, and potential flooding hazards are addressed in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality.

Data on recorded hazardous material sites are kept in the GeoTracker database, maintained by the SWRCB, and in the EnviroStor database, maintained by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Both GeoTracker and EnviroStor provide the names and addresses of documented hazardous material sites, along with their cleanup status. A search of GeoTracker identified one open case regarding the detection of tetrachloroethene in water samples. The case is open and under investigation as of July 12, 2021. (SWRCB 2022) EnviroStor databases indicated no record of any active hazardous material site on or within one-half mile of the project site (DTSC 2022). A list of solid waste disposal sites identified by SWRCB with waste constituents above hazardous waste levels outside the waste management unit did not show any locations at the project site or vicinity (CalEPA 2016a). Likewise, a list by SWRCB containing sites under Cease and Desist Orders and Cleanup and Abatement Orders showed no locations (CalEPA 2016b).

There are no public airports in the Ripon area. The nearest public airports are Modesto City-County Airport approximately 14 miles to the southeast and Mapes Ranch Airport approximately 12 miles to the west.

Wildland fires, resulting from both man-made and natural causes, can occur in brush or grasslands, primarily in sparsely developed or existing open space lands. Structures and urban development may be threatened or destroyed in areas prone to wildland fires, but such an event is unlikely in the developed are of Central Ripon.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Hazardous Material Transport, Use, and Storage.

Hazardous materials that are likely to be used and stored on the project site would include cleaning products, and pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers for landscaping in relatively low quantities. Quantities would likely be below amounts that would require the preparation of a Hazardous Material Business Plan to be submitted to the County The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 240 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-28 June 2022
Environmental Health Department. Such a plan must be prepared by any facility that handles a hazardous material or mixture containing a hazardous material that has a quantity at any one time during the reporting year equal to or greater than 55 gallons for liquids, 500 pounds for solids, or 200 cubic feet for a compressed gas. None of the anticipated hazardous materials to be used by the project would be stored in such quantities. Project impacts related to transport, use, or storage of hazardous materials would be less than significant.
b) Release of Hazardous Materials.

As noted in a) above, project implementation would not involve the transport, use, or storage of hazardous materials in substantial quantities. These materials are not expected to be used or stored in quantities large enough to pose a threat to human health and/or the environment if released.

Construction activities on the project site may involve the use of hazardous materials such as fuels and solvents, and thus create a potential for hazardous material spills. Construction and maintenance vehicles would transport and use fuels in ordinary quantities. Fuel spills, if any occur, would be minimal and would not typically have significant adverse effects.

Potential hazardous materials spills during construction are addressed in the required SWPPP, described in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils. In accordance with SWPPP requirements, contractors have absorbent materials at construction sites to clean up minor spills. Other substances used in the construction process would be stored in approved containers and used in relatively small quantities, in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations and/or applicable regulations.

County Assessor records indicate that the current building on the north parcel of the project site was constructed in 1928. The age of this building may indicate the presence of asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paints. Demolition could release these substances into the local environment.

Prior to any demolition work, a demolition permit must be obtained, one of the requirements of which is approval from the SJVAPCD. The City must receive a Demolition Permit Release Form from the SJVAPCD prior to issuing the demolition permit. The form certifies that the demolition complies with the requirements of the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), which govern asbestos removal.

SJVAPCD Rule 4002 follows the NESHAP standards. Therefore, demolition work associated with the projects would be required to comply with NESHAP and Rule 4002, which would minimize releases of asbestos into the environment.

Lead-based paint removal is governed by the California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Division 1, Chapter 8, Sections 35001-36100. This requires that work on any structure built before January 1, 1978 must use lead-safe work practices, including containment and cleaning the work area after the project is completed. The regulations also cover accreditation of training providers and certification of individuals to perform lead abatement, and they set work practice standards for lead hazard evaluations and the abatement of lead hazards.

Packet Pg. 241 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-29 June 2022
Compliance with these rules and regulations would minimize the potential impact of release of hazardous materials, specifically asbestos and lead-based paints, into the environment. Overall, impacts related to releases of hazardous materials would be less than significant.
c) Hazardous Materials Releases near Schools.

The nearest public school to the project site is Harvest High School, a Ripon Unified District continuation school, approximately 200 feet northeast across Main Street. Directly east of the school is Ripon Elementary School, approximately 600 feet. However, as noted in b) above, project construction and operations would not require the handling or transport of acutely hazardous materials or waste that would endanger schools or the public. The use of small quantities of hazardous materials during project construction would be limited to the project site and would not occur near any schools. The project would not produce hazardous emissions. The project would have no impact on schools within one-quarter mile of the project site.
d) Hazardous Materials Sites.

As previously noted, a search of the GeoTracker and EnviroStor databases and other listings did not identify any active hazardous material sites on or near the project site. ‘ e) Public Airport Operations.

As noted, there are no airports in Ripon or in its vicinity. The project would have no impact related to potential airport hazards.
f) Emergency Response and Evacuations.

The project would not obstruct adjacent streets once construction work is completed.

Project construction work would mostly occur on the project site. However, the adjacent segments of Main Street and Vera Avenue would be improved, and connections to utility lines beneath these streets would be made. While construction work would be temporary and would cease once work is completed, it could have the potential of restricting lanes such that emergency response or emergency evacuation could be affected. Mitigation presented below would ensure that access would be maintained during construction activities within adjacent streets, thereby reducing impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures:

HAZ-1: Prior to the start of project construction, the developer shall prepare and implement a Traffic Control Plan, which shall include such items as traffic control requirements, resident notification of access closure, and daily access restoration. The contractor shall specify dates and times of road closures or restrictions, if any, and shall ensure that adequate access will be provided for emergency vehicles. The Traffic Control Plan shall The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

be reviewed and approved by the City Department of Public Works and shall be coordinated with the Ripon Police Department and the Ripon Consolidated Fire District if construction will require road closures or lane restrictions.

Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant
g) Wildland Fire Hazards.

The project site is not in an area susceptible to wildland fires; land is either agricultural or developed. The project site, in its current mostly undeveloped condition, presents the greatest wildland fire risk. The project would eliminate the existing wildland fire hazard by replacing the grasses and weeds with a paved and developed area. The project would have no impact related to wildland fire hazards. Section 3.20, Wildfire, provides a more detailed analysis of wildfire impacts.

quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Surface Waters
There are no natural streams on or near the project site. Surface water quality in the Riponarea is maintained through the City’s Storm Water Management Program (SWMP), developed in compliance with the federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program and with the SWRCB’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) General Permit. The program includes control measures and defines BMPs designed to protect surface water quality associated with land development during both construction and post-construction periods.

Groundwater
The project site is within the Eastern San Joaquin County Groundwater Subbasin of the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin. According to the most recent information available, and as noted in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils, groundwater at the project site is more than 50 feet below ground surface (San Joaquin County FCWCD 2018). The City obtains its drinking water from groundwater wells. Natural recharge of local aquifers in the Ripon area appears to be by percolation of river flow, rainfall and unused irrigation water, with some minor infiltration from streams (City of Escalon 2004).

In 2014, the State enacted the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. This act requires the formation of local groundwater sustainability agencies that must assess conditions in their local water basins and adopt locally based Groundwater Sustainability Plans for sustainable use of groundwater and avoidance of overdraft. Plans for “critically overdrafted” basins must be completed and adopted by January 31, 2020, while plans for high- and medium-priority basins have an adoption deadline of January 31, 2022.

The City is a member of the South San Joaquin Groundwater Sustainability Agency together with the City of Escalon and SSJID. This agency, in collaboration with other agencies, prepared a Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Subbasin and submitted it to the Department of Water Resources on January 29, 2020. To achieve sustainability in the Subbasin, projects and management actions were identified. These include water supply projects that either replace groundwater use or supplement groundwater supplies to attain the current estimated pumping offset and/or recharge need. A final list of 23 potential projects is included in the Groundwater Sustainability Plan, representing a variety of project types, including direct and in-lieu recharge, intra-basin water transfers, demand conservation, water recycling, and stormwater reuse.

Flooding Hazard
A Flood Insurance Rate Map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicates that the project area is designated Zone X. Zone X is considered an area of minimal flood hazard. It is outside a delineated 100-year floodplain – the floodplain commonly used to assess potential flooding impacts and considered a Special Flood Hazard Area (FEMA 2009). The project The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 244 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-32 June 2022
site is within the potential dam failure inundation area for the New Melones Dam along the Stanislaus River (San Joaquin County 2016).

In 2007, the State of California approved SB 5 and a series of related Senate and Assembly bills intended to set new flood protection standards for urban areas in the Central Valley. This group of bills, referred to collectively in this document as “SB 5,” establish the State standard for flood protection in these areas as protection from the 200-year frequency flood. Under SB 5, urban and urbanizing areas must be provided with 200-year flood protection no later than 2025. Preliminary maps drafted by the California Department of Water Resources do not show the project site within a 200-year floodplain.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Surface Water Quality.

The project would not directly affect surface waters, as there are none on or near the project site.

As noted in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils, construction activities would disturb soils and soil materials, which could be transported off site by runoff and could eventually enter surface waters.

Project development and operation would lead to contamination of storm run-off with fuels, oils, metals, and other substances associated with motor vehicles. These discharges could eventually enter surface waters. This is considered a potentially significant impact.

The Phase II MS4 Permit and the City of Ripon require project proponents to incorporate postconstruction measures that reduce the volume of runoff and mitigate pollutants in runoff into its design and completed development. The project proponent is required to select design measures that are appropriate for the project and will adequately meet the goals of the City’s Storm Water Development Standards.

Compliance with the requirements of the City’s Standards would minimize water quality impacts of the project after construction work is completed. In addition, implementation of Mitigation Measure GEO-1, described in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils, would minimize water quality impacts from construction activities. Project impacts on surface waters and their quality would be less than significant.
b) Groundwater Supplies and Recharge.

As noted, the City relies on groundwater for its primary source of water. The project would not draw directly from the underlying aquifer, but it would be connected to the City’s water system that draws upon groundwater supplies. Adequate water supply exists to accommodate this demand.

The project would replace an existing vacant parcel of grasses and weeds with urban development and pavement. This would substantially reduce the amount of precipitation that would percolate into the ground, thereby reducing groundwater recharge. Given the relatively small acreage of the project site and the extent of other lands available for recharge surrounding the City, the project is not expected to interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level. Project impacts on groundwater are considered less than significant.
c-i, ii, iii) Drainage Patterns and Runoff.

The project would alter existing storm drainage patterns, due to site grading and the installation of pavement and storm drainage facilities. In addition, proposed improvements on the project site would result in the generation of additional runoff due to the introduction of impervious surfaces.

The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 245 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-33 June 2022
The project would connect to the City’s storm drainage system, designing its onsite facilities in accordance with City standards and specifications and with the design criteria in the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan. The storm drainage system is expected to have adequate capacity to accommodate onsite runoff.

Runoff would be likely to collect pollutants, mainly deposits from motor vehicles. However, as noted, the project would be required to adhere to post-construction measures to be agreed upon between the project applicant and the City. These measures are expected to minimize the amount of polluted runoff that would enter the City’s storm drainage system. Drainage plans would be submitted for City approval prior to construction. Project impacts on drainage and runoff are considered less than significant.
c-iv) Flood Flows.

As noted, the project area is in a minimal flood hazard area. It is not within a 100-year floodplain as indicated by the FEMA map for the area, nor is it within a 200-year floodplain as indicated by the California Department of Water Resources. Because of this, the project would be unlikely to impede or redirect any flood flows. The project would have no impact related to flood flows. d) Other Flooding Hazards.

As noted, the project site is within the potential inundation zone of New Melones Dam were it to fail. Dams are evaluated regularly by the California Division of Safety of Dams to verify their structural integrity, including their resistance to stresses that could result from local or regional earthquakes. Adherence to Division requirements, which can include seismic upgrades in cases where seismic vulnerability is identified, minimizes the potential for catastrophic failure (San Joaquin County 2016).

There are no levees in the Ripon area. The project area is in a topographically flat region away from the coast, with no large bodies of water in the vicinity. Therefore, the project would not be affected by seiche, or tsunamis. Project impacts related to other flooding hazards would be less than significant.
e) Conflict with Water Quality or Groundwater Plans.

As described above, the project would be required to comply with the requirements of the City’s Post-Construction Standards Plan, which is designed to maintain local water quality. The Groundwater Sustainability Plan for the Eastern San Joaquin Subbasin has been adopted. While the provisions of this plan are not directly applicable to the project, the project would not interfere with its implementation. The project would have no impact related to water quality or groundwater plans.

Environmental Setting
The project site is two parcels, the northernmost being flat with overgrown brush and one standing building, the southern parcel being developed with office buildings and paved parking. As noted in Chapter 2.0, Project Description, the current City General Plan designation for the project area and zoning is Urban Core.

The project site is in a developed area of central Ripon. Single-family residences have been constructed south, and west of the site. Ripon Grace Church is to the east. Ripon Christian Preschool is north, across Main Street, from the project site. All lands east, south, and west and north of the project site have been developed.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Division of Established Communities.

The project site is a part of a planned residential area that would provide additional senior housing units in the City, consistent with the Ripon General Plan. The project would not divide existing residential communities in the area. The project would have no impact on division of established communities.
b) Conflicts with Plans, Policies and Regulations Mitigating Environmental Effects.

Project development would be consistent with existing Ripon General Plan and project applicants will obtain a use permit to comply with zoning designations. The General Plan was prepared to balance City growth and development with environmental protection to the extent practical. The zoning ordinance is required to be consistent with the General Plan. Therefore, the project is not expected to conflict with any City plans or ordinances containing provisions designed to avoid or minimize environmental effects.

This IS/MND discusses other potential project impacts that could affect City ordinances and Municipal Code provisions. The project would comply with these ordinances and provisions. Project impacts would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
San Joaquin County has several mineral resources including natural gas, borates, sand and gravel, limestone, clay, building stone, and pumice. However, Ripon has no significant mineral resources or mining operations. Ripon has no oil or natural fields (DOGGR 2022).

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Availability of Mineral Resources.

There are no identified mineral resources areas on the project site or in Ripon. The project would have no effect on the availability of or access to locally designated or known mineral resources. The project would have no impact on mineral resources.

public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Ambient Noise
Assessment of noise impacts focuses on the “ambient" noise level, which is the general noise level in a project area. Primary noise sources in Ripon come from motor vehicle. This is also true for the project site, as the main noise sources in the vicinity are motor vehicle traffic associated with Main Street and Vera Avenue. Lesser noise sources near the project vicinity may include time-specific traffic associated with the Ripon Grace Church and Ripon Christian Preschool. These sources are more sporadic and do not contribute as much to the ambient noise environment.

City standards and policies established in the Noise Element of the Ripon General Plan are designed to protect community residents from noise impacts and establishes criteria to mitigate noise-generating land uses and development. Noise standards are based on the Day-Night Average Level (Ldn) and the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). The Ldn is based upon the average hourly Leq over a 24-hour day, with a 10-decibel (dB) weighting applied to noise during the hours between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. to account for greater sensitivity during that period. The CNEL is the same as the Ldn, with an additional 5-dB weighting applied to noise during the hours from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

According to the City’s Noise Element, areas shall be recognized as noise-impacted if existing or projected future noise levels at the exterior of buildings exceed 70 dB Ldn or CNEL. However, exceedance of 70 dB Ldn would be conditionally acceptable if mitigation is provided that would ensure interior noise levels do not exceed 60 dB CNEL.

Groundborne Vibration
Groundborne vibration is not a common environmental problem. It is typically associated with transportation facilities, although it is unusual for vibration from sources such as buses and trucks to be perceptible, even in locations close to major roads. Some common sources of groundborne vibration are trains, buses on rough roads, and construction activities such as blasting, pile driving, and operating heavy earth-moving equipment.

Caltrans has prescribed a methodology for evaluating groundborne vibration impacts from construction related to potential damage to structures, based on transient sources (e.g., blasting, drop balls) or continuous/frequent intermittent sources such as impact and vibratory pile drivers, vibratory compaction equipment (Caltrans 2013). Measurements of groundborne vibrations are presented in peak particle velocity, with the unit of measure being inches per second. Table 3-4 presents thresholds for impacts related to groundborne vibration, based on the Caltrans methodology.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Generation of Noise Exceeding Local Standards.

The project would result in a permanent increase in ambient noise levels over existing conditions, as the site is currently vacant. Noise would be generated mainly by activities within and traffic to and from the residential facility. As discussed in Section 3.17, Transportation, traffic expected to be generated by the project would be less than traffic generated by typical residential projects, as the occupants would be senior citizens who are expected to use motor vehicles less frequently than the population at large. Therefore, noise generated by anticipated project traffic would likewise be less.

Project construction would involve temporary increases in ambient noise levels, due to the use of construction equipment and vehicle traffic to and from the construction site. Table 3-5 shows noise levels that could be generated by construction equipment. Although project construction noise would cease once construction work is completed, this is considered a potentially significant short-term impact, as the project site is adjacent to existing residential development to the east, which would likely be exposed to exterior noise levels that exceed standards set in the City’s Noise Element.

Temporary noise impacts resulting from project construction shall be minimized by implementation of mitigation, described below, that would require the use of mufflers on construction equipment. Also, as noted, the Noise Ordinance limits construction to specific hours, which would avoid noise during nighttime hours when people would be most sensitive to noise. Implementation of the mitigation measure and Noise Ordinance provisions would reduce construction noise impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures:

NOISE-1: All equipment used on the construction site during all project phases shall be fitted with mufflers in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications. Mufflers shall be installed on the equipment at all times on the construction site.

Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant
b) Generation of Groundborne Vibration or Noise.

Project operations would not generate any groundborne vibrations. The only potential source of groundborne vibrations from the project would be from equipment used in construction activities. Using the methodology prescribed by Caltrans, the ground vibration produced by a large bulldozer - the most likely construction equipment listed in Table 3-5 that would be used - would be a peak particle velocity of approximately 0.089 inches per second at the residences. The predicted peak particle velocity is above the “Barely Perceptible” threshold peak particle velocity of 0.04 inches per second, but it is below the “Distinctly Perceptible” threshold of 0.25 inches per second (see Table 3-4). It is also The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

below the threshold of potential damage to older residential structures, which is 0.5 inches per second. Potential vibration impacts would be intermittent and short-term. On this basis, project impacts related to groundborne vibration would be less than significant. c) Public Airport and Private Airstrip Noise.

As discussed in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, there are no public airports in the vicinity of Ripon. There are also no private airstrips in the project vicinity. The project would have no impact associated with noise from airport or airstrip operations.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
As of April 1, 2020, the population of Ripon was estimated at 16,013 an increase from its 2010 U.S. Census population of 14,297.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Unplanned Population Growth.

The project would involve a senior care and residential development on a 2.73-acre site, creating 82 new residential units with associated care facilities and recreation. The units would be designated for seniors needing assistance with daily life and special senior care.

The proposed development would be consistent with the Ripon General Plan. The increase in residents resulting from the project would be consistent with the population growth anticipated by the Ripon General Plan.

The project would provide employment opportunities in Ripon during its construction, which sometimes may bring people into the Ripon area. However, these opportunities would be limited in number and can be expected to be met from the existing population in nearby areas of San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. No additional population is expected The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The project site is within the service boundary of the Ripon Consolidated Fire District, which covers approximately 55 square miles in the southern portion of San Joaquin County centered around Ripon. The District provides fire protection, emergency medical, and other services. It currently employs 15 full-time staff and 6 reserve firefighters. The nearest fire station to the project site is Station 1, located at 142 S. Stockton Avenue, one half mile from the project site. Station 2 is located at 18800 Murphy Road, north of the project site.

Station 3 is located at 1705 N. Ripon Road.

Law enforcement services are provided by the Ripon Police Department. The Department is stationed at 259 N Wilma Avenue, approximately 0.8 miles northwest of the project site.

As of the year 2000, Ripon Police Department had 13 full-time sworn, along with support staff and volunteers.

The project site is within the boundaries of the Ripon Unified School District, which has an enrollment of 4,728 students from kindergarten to 12th grade in the 2020-21 school year (EdData 2022). The closest public school to the project site is Harvest High School, located The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

approximately 440 feet northeast of the project site. Ripon Christian Preschool is located directly across Main Street to the north.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a-i) Fire Protection.

The project would add 82 residential units in the proposed three-story structure, which would incrementally increase demand for fire protection. Future development is required by ordinance to pay Fire Facility Fees for future construction of Fire Department facilities and equipment acquisition that may be required. The Fire Facility Fees plus additional tax revenue from development would provide funding for additional personnel, equipment, and facilities (San Joaquin LAFCo 2011).

In addition, all new development must comply with the provisions of the California Fire Code, the 2019 version of which has been adopted by the City. Among other issues, the California Fire Code addresses fire protection systems, fire-resistant materials, and fire flow requirements. Compliance with the California Fire Code, along with payment of development fees, would reduce project impacts on fire protection services to a level that would be less than significant.
a-ii) Police Protection.

The project is expected to generate a demand for police protection services, as the project site is currently vacant. Inquiries with the Ripon Police Department as to whether new or expanded police protection facilities would be needed to serve the project were unanswered. However, the project would be required to pay development fees to the City for future construction of Police Department facilities, as needed. The City will be able to pay for the additional law enforcement operational needs through the expanded tax base generated by new development and the development fees (San Joaquin LAFCo 2011).

Therefore, project impacts related to police protection services are considered less than significant.
a-iii) Schools.

A typical residential project is expected to generate students that would need to be accommodated by the local school district or districts within whose boundaries the project is located. However, the proposed project is for senior households, which would not include school-age children. As such, the project would not place a new demand for school services on the Ripon Unified School District such that new or expanded facilities would be required. Project impacts on school services would be less than significant. a-iv, v) Parks and Other Public Facilities.

The project is not expected to result in additional demands on parks as outdoor activities for residents of the project would be provided on-site. As discussed in Section 3.14, Population and Housing, the population increase resulting from the project is neither unplanned nor substantial. Therefore, any additional demands on parks and other public facilities such as libraries are expected to be incremental, and no new or expanded facilities The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

would be required. While new facilities would not likely be required as a result of the project, the project would be required to pay development fees to the City for future construction of park and library facilities, as needed. Project impacts would be less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The City of Ripon Parks and Recreation Department manages 23 community parks, offering a variety of recreational opportunities. The closest parks to the project site are Wilma Park and Acacia Park, both located approximately 0.3 miles from the site.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Recreational Facilities.

As noted in Section 3.14, Population and Housing, the project would generate senior residents who would generate minimal demand on park and recreational facilities and services. The existing parks and recreational facilities are expected to accommodate the additional residents without causing a substantial physical deterioration of these facilities.

As noted in Section 3.15, Public Services, the project would be required to pay development fees to the City for future construction of park facilities, as needed.

The project proposes to construct onsite community facilities for project residents. This would alleviate the impact on off-site facilities that would otherwise be caused by the increase in local population. Project impacts on recreational facilities are considered less than significant.

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Information for this section comes primarily from a Traffic Operational Analysis conducted for the project by KD Anderson and Associates. Appendix F contains the analysis. The overall approach to this analysis describes the trip generation and travel characteristics of the project, based on rates developed nationally for similar facilities.

Current morning and afternoon peak hour traffic conditions in the project area, which reflect peak commute activity and travel to the adjoining schools were collected and assessed. Traffic patterns at the project access and at adjoining intersections were assessed with the project.

Environmental Setting
Streets and Intersections
The Traffic Operational Analysis evaluated conditions on three City streets:

Main Street is an east-west arterial street that runs easterly from an intersection with West Ripon Road at Jack Tone Road past the project site to an interchange on SR 99. The configuration of the street varies along its length. Just west of its intersection with Vera Avenue, Main Street is a four-lane commercial street with a continuous two-way left-turn lane and traffic signals at major intersections. The posted speed limit is 35 mph in this area. At the entrance to the Historic Ripon district, Main Street narrows to a three-lane facility with one travel lane in each direction and two-way left-turn lane. This 40-foot cross section continues through the Vera Avenue intersection to Maple Avenue. On-street parking is prohibited in The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 256 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-44 June 2022
this area, and the speed limit is 25 mph. The two-way left-turn lane ends beyond Maple Avenue, and W. Main Street has a through travel lane in each direction to Acacia Avenue. On-street parking is permitted on the north side along Ripon Elementary School.

Vera Avenue is a north-south local street that extends southerly from Main Street to Doak Boulevard at the community’s southern boundary. Vera Avenue is 40 feet wide (curb to curb), and it accommodates on-street parking as well as residential and commercial driveways. The speed limit on Vera Avenue is 25 mph.

Maple Avenue is a local street that extends north from Main Street towards SR 99 before turning to the west along the freeway at Garrison Way to Wilma Avenue.

Maple Avenue is 40 feet wide (curb to curb) and accommodates on-street parking and residential driveways. Maple Avenue also provides access to Ripon Christian School’s Elementary, Middle and High Schools. The speed limit on Maple Avenue is 25 mph.

Two intersections were included in the analysis:

The Main Street/Vera Avenue intersection is a “tee” controlled by a stop sign on the northbound Vera Avenue approach. A right-turn-only exit from Ripon Christian School’s Pre-school is on the north side of the intersection. Vera Avenue has a single approach lane, but Main Street has a two-way left-turn lane through the intersection to accommodate westbound left turns.

The Main Street/Maple Avenue intersection is a “tee” controlled by an all-way stop. On-street parking has been eliminated at the intersection to provide auxiliary right-turn lanes on southbound Maple Avenue and on westbound Main Street, and a left-turn lane is provided for eastbound traffic. A right-turn-in-only entrance to Ripon Grace Church exists about 40 feet west of the intersection, and a full access church driveway exists 150 feet east of the intersection.

Existing conditions at the two intersections were determined by calculating Level of Service (LOS). LOS is a qualitative measure of traffic operating conditions whereby a letter grade of A through F, corresponding to progressively worsening operating conditions, is assigned to an intersection or roadway segment. The City of Ripon’s minimum standard is LOS D. Under existing conditions, LOS at both intersections during the morning and evening peak hour is C, which meets the City’s LOS standard.

Non-Motor Vehicle Facilities
Public transit services in Ripon are provided by the City of Ripon Blossom Express.

Blossom Express, which operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays, provided a fixed-route service to stops in Ripon and in Modesto to Vintage Faire Mall and the Target Center. Deviations within ¾ mile of the bus stop are available upon request. A bus route passes by the project site, and bus stops are located at Vera Avenue and Second Street and Main Street and Maple Avenue.

Packet Pg. 257 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-45 June 2022
The San Joaquin Regional Transit District provides bus services to Ripon with the County Hopper, a fixed-route service connecting Ripon with other San Joaquin County cities.

County Hopper Route 91 connects Ripon with Manteca and Stockton. Connections to Escalon, Modesto, and Stanislaus County bus lines are also available.

Sidewalks exist along all the streets in the study area. On the south side of West Main Street, the sidewalk is separated from the through travel lane within the Historic Ripon district. Marked crosswalks exist across Vera Avenue at the West Main Street intersection and on all three legs of the Maple Avenue intersection. Both intersections have depressed curbs at the corners that are ADA-accessible. West of Vera Avenue, the next marked crossing on West Main Street occurs at the Wilma Avenue traffic signal about 650 feet away. An overhead flashing beacon is installed at the Main Street/Maple Avenue intersection.

The Traffic Operational Analysis included pedestrian counts at one of the intersections where the traffic counts were conducted. During the peak morning hour, a total of 45 pedestrian crossings in all directions occurred at the Main Street/Vera Avenue intersection.

In the evening, that total was 11 crossings. Similar pedestrian count data had been collected in 2017 for the Ripon Christian School’s Pre-School Relocation Project traffic analysis.

The data indicated that in the morning hour, a total of 38 crossings occurred at the Main Street/Maple Avenue intersection, with 22 across the north leg of the intersection. In the mid-afternoon when the school day ended, 82 crossings were counted, with 33 across Maple Avenue and 47 across the western leg of Main Street and 2 across the eastern leg (KD Anderson 2022).

Transportation Plans and Guidelines
As the designated metropolitan planning organization representing San Joaquin County, SJCOG is required by both federal and State law to prepare a long-range transportation planning document known as a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The most recent RTP was adopted in 2018. It sets forth how the SJCOG region will meet its transportation needs for the period from 2017 to 2042, considering existing and projected land use patterns and forecasted population and job growth. It identifies and prioritizes expenditures of anticipated funding for transportation projects of all transportation modes, as well as transportation demand management measures and transportation systems management.

Among the Ripon projects identified in the RTP are a two-lane extension of Garrison Road from Maple Avenue to 500 feet east of Acacia Avenue, improvements to local bus services, and construction of a multimodal station (SJCOG 2018a).

The Circulation Element of the Ripon General Plan sets forth policies and implementation strategies related to transportation and circulation including streets and highways, transportation corridors, public transit, railroads, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and commercial, general, and military airports (City of Ripon 2010). The Circulation Element states that the City shall maintain Level of Service (LOS) D or better on the City’s street system, as previously noted. However, LOS is no longer used to determine the environmental impacts of projects, as explained in the following paragraph.

Packet Pg. 258 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-46 June 2022
The State of California has recently added Section 15064.3 to the CEQA Guidelines, which is meant to incorporate SB 743 into CEQA analysis. SB 743 was enacted in 2013 with the intent to balance congestion management needs and the mitigation of the environmental impacts of traffic with statewide GHG emission reduction goals, mainly by developing an alternative mechanism for evaluating transportation impacts. Section 15064.3 states that VMT is the preferred method for evaluating transportation impacts, rather than the commonly used LOS. The VMT metric measures the total miles traveled by vehicles as a result of a given project. VMT accounts for the total environmental impact of transportation associated with a project, including use of non-vehicle travel modes.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Conflict with Transportation Plans, Ordinances and Policies.

The Traffic Operational Analysis evaluated conditions at the two intersections with the addition of project traffic, estimated based on trip generation rates for multifamily senior housing and anticipated trip distribution on local streets (see Appendix F). The analysis concluded that the LOS at the Main Street/Vera Avenue intersection during morning and evening peak hours would remain at C. At the project access from Vera Avenue, the LOS would be A. Both LOS meet the City’s LOS standards. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the LOS policy established in the Ripon General Plan.

The project could result in an increase in demand for public transit service. The frequency of future transit service is not known at this time and, as a result, demand for transit cannot be quantified. However, it is expected that Blossom Express can accommodate the additional passengers the project would generate, as well as the San Joaquin Regional Transit District. This would be consistent with the goals of the RTP, which encourage further use of public transit. Moreover, as noted, the RTP includes improvements to bus services in Ripon in its project list. Project impacts related to conflicts with transportation plans, ordinances, and policies would be less than significant. b) Conflict with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b).

As discussed above, VMT is now the preferred method for evaluating transportation impacts, rather than LOS. The City currently does not have traffic impact standards based on VMT. The Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) has issued a Technical Advisory on evaluating transportation impacts using VMT. The Technical Advisory emphasizes reductions in VMT as a means of reducing GHG emissions generated by development projects (OPR 2018).

The Traffic Operational Analysis calculated potential trips generated by the project and compared that figure to trips generated by current land uses on the project site. The analysis estimated that current land uses generate 490 daily vehicle trips, while the proposed project would generate 266 daily vehicle trips – a decrease of approximately 46 percent. Assuming vehicle miles per trip remain constant, this would result in a VMT decrease of approximately 46 percent. Moreover, the project would house seniors. It is expected that seniors would travel less by motor vehicle; therefore, they would generate less VMT than The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 259 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-47 June 2022
the general population. Given this, the project is not expected to conflict with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b). Project impacts would be less than significant. c) Traffic Hazards.

The project is expected to generate additional pedestrian traffic in the area. With more pedestrians, a greater chance of accidents involving pedestrians may occur, particularly at street crossings. The Traffic Operational Analysis estimated that the project would generate 200 daily and 21 hourly pedestrian trips, mostly by project residents who are seniors. As a group, seniors tend to walk more slowly and may be less aware of their surroundings than other pedestrians.

The project would add pedestrians to the exiting Vera Avenue crossing at Main Street and to the crossings at the Main Street/Wilma Avenue intersection. A marked crosswalk already exists across Vera Avenue, but the Traffic Operational Analysis notes that measures to improve visibility are possible. For example, No Parking limits could be installed on the east side of Vera Avenue south of the intersection to preserve the line of sight at the corner for both pedestrians and approaching vehicles. However, a more practical option would be to install a stop bar across northbound Vera Avenue about five feet outside of the crosswalk. This limit would require motorists to first to stop outside the crosswalk before moving into the crosswalk to turn right. This recommended has been incorporated as a mitigation measure described below.

Because the project generates relatively little automobile traffic and background traffic volumes on Vera Avenue are low, the project access will operate satisfactorily, and capacity improvements are not needed. However, because senior drivers may use the access, the Traffic Operational Analysis noted that it will be important to maintain adequate sight distance looking north and south from the new driveway. The City should consider the need for No Parking limitations in that area. A mitigation measure described below would establish a No Parking zone near the project access. Implementation of these mitigation measures would increase safety for senior pedestrians and drivers, thereby reducing potential impacts to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures:

TRANS-1: The City shall install a stop bar across northbound Vera Avenue about five feet outside of the existing crosswalk across Vera Avenue. The City Engineer shall prepare plans for the installation, in accordance with applicable City standards and specifications. The project applicant shall reimburse the City for the costs of installing the stop bar, as determined by the City Engineer.

TRANS-2: The City shall establish a No Parking zone along the east side of Vera Avenue on both sides of the project access. The distance of the No Parking zone, along with the installation of No Parking signs and/or other features, shall be determined by the City Engineer, in accordance with applicable City standards and specifications.

d) Emergency Access.

As described in Chapter 2.0, Project Description, the project would have a main driveway off Vera Avenue and a right-in entrance off Main Street. This would provide two access points to the project site for emergency, which is generally the minimum number of access points desired. Project impacts related to emergency access would be less than significant.

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

NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Information for this section is provided from a Cultural Resources Inventory and Evaluation Report prepared for the project by Solano Archaeological Services LLC, available in Appendix C of this document. Solano Archaeological Services contacted the Native American Heritage Commission and several representatives of local tribes, documentation of which is provided in the report.

Environmental Setting
As noted, in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, the project site lies within the traditional territory of the Northern Valley Yokuts, whose lands extended from the San Joaquin River near Mendota north to the confluence of the San Joaquin and Calaveras Rivers. Yokut groups lived in small seasonal camps or in larger settlements on perennial water sources such as the San Joaquin River. Dwellings in the larger villages consisted of circular tule covered structures and more elaborate semisubterranean pit houses. Ceremonial sweat houses and assembly chambers were often constructed The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

3.A.i
Packet Pg. 261 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 3-49 June 2022
within the more substantial villages. These larger settlements might include approximately 200 inhabitants constituting a small sub-tribe of the Yokut. A headman, while not necessarily possessing absolute powers, served as an advisor to these self-contained communities. There is little historical documentation about the Yokuts, which can be attributed to the rapid reduction of its population as a result of disease, missionization, and the sudden influx of Euro-American miners and entrepreneurs during the Gold Rush (Solano Archaeological Services 2021).

In 2014, the California Legislature enacted AB 52, which focuses on consultation with Native American tribes on land use issues potentially affecting the tribes. The intent of this consultation is to avoid or mitigate potential impacts on “tribal cultural resources,” which are defined as “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe.” Under AB 52, when a tribe requests consultation with a CEQA lead agency on projects within its traditionally and culturally affiliated geographical area, the lead agency must provide the tribe with notice of a proposed project within 14 days of a project application being deemed complete or when the lead agency decides to undertake the project if it is the agency’s own project. The tribe has up to 30 days to respond to the notice and request consultation; if consultation is requested, then the local agency has up to 30 days to initiate consultation.

As part of the preparation of its cultural resource report, Solano Archaeological Services sought comments on the projects from nine representatives of four tribes: Northern Valley Yokuts, Tule River Indian Tribe, Wilton Rancheria, and Wukasche Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band. The Northern Valley Yokuts did not have any information or specific issues with the project site, and the Wilton Rancheria did not express any concerns regarding the project. No other tribes responded.

Since no tribe has explicitly requested consultation on the project, AB 52 requirements are considered fulfilled.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a, b) Tribal Cultural Resources.

As noted in Section 3.5, Cultural Resources, no archaeological resources have been recorded on the project site. Solano Archaeological Services requested the Native American Heritage Commission to conduct a search of its Sacred Lands File for records of potential tribal sacred land on the project site. The Commission reported a negative result, indicating no sacred lands have been recorded on the project site.

However, as noted in Section 3.5, project construction could potentially uncover previously unknown archaeological resources, which could include those of Native American origin.

Mitigation Measure CULT-1 would require construction work to stop at an uncovered resource site under an archaeologist can evaluate the resource and give recommendations for its disposition. If potential tribal cultural resources or burials are encountered, the appropriate tribal representative would be contacted to evaluate the find and make recommendations on its disposition.

Implementation of Mitigation Measure CULT-1 would reduce potential impacts on tribal cultural resources to a level that would be less than significant.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures: Implementation of Mitigation Measure CULT-1.

e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulations related to solid waste? NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
Domestic water service is currently provided within the City limits by the City of Ripon from existing groundwater wells and a system of distribution pipelines. Existing lines are located in adjoining Main Street and Vera Avenue.

The City of Ripon provides wastewater treatment and collection services to residential, commercial, and industrial land uses within the City limits. The City’s treatment facility is located south of the City near the Stanislaus River. Wastewater collection lines are located throughout the City, including Main Street and Vera Avenue near the project.

The City maintains a network of storm drains and detention basins that collect storm water runoff from existing urbanized areas, including development along Main Street and Vera Avenue. Most of the collected storm drainage is discharged to retention basins and the Stanislaus River.

As noted in Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality, the City operates under the MS4 General Permit, in accordance with which the City has adopted its Storm Water Development Standards document that provides guidance to developers in meeting the SWRCB’s requirements for mitigating water quality impacts associated with storm drainage.

Solid waste collection services in Ripon are provided by Gilton Solid Waste Management, which operates under a City franchise. Solid waste from the City is taken to the McClure Transfer Station in Modesto, which in turn is sent to the Fink Road Sanitary Landfill in southwestern Stanislaus County. The Fink Road Landfill has a maximum permitted capacity of 14,640,000 cubic yards. As of March 1, 2017, the landfill had a remaining capacity of 7,184,701 cubic yards (CalRecycle 2021).

Electricity is provided to Ripon by PG&E and the Modesto Irrigation District; the City is within a “joint electric distribution service area” where both utilities may compete for customers. Existing overhead electrical lines are along Irwin Avenue and California Street. Natural gas services are provided by PG&E. Local telephone service is provided by AT&T, and Comcast provides cable television services.

Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
a) Relocation or Construction of New Facilities.

The project would connect to existing water, sewer, storm drainage, and electrical lines in the immediate project vicinity. No new lines or other facilities would need to be constructed by the project. Project impacts related to relocation or construction of new facilities would be less than significant.
b) Water Systems and Supply.

The project would place additional demand on the City’s water supplies. The City’s Urban Water Master Plan indicates that supplies are sufficient to meet demands during normal, dry and multiple dry year conditions.

In addition, the City, in association with the South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) and other cities in southern San Joaquin County, has contracted for additional water supply as a part of the South County Surface Water Project. Under this project, water could in the future be provided from SSJID’s Woodward Reservoir and adjacent treatment facility.

In summary, the City would have adequate capacity to accommodate the water demands of the project without the need for new or expanded entitlements. It also should be noted that the project would be required to comply with the City’s Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, which would make landscape irrigation more water-efficient. Project impacts on water supplies would be less than significant.
c) Wastewater Treatment Capacity.

The project would place additional demand on the City’s wastewater collection and treatment system. As indicated above, the City’s wastewater treatment plant would have adequate capacity to accommodate wastewater generated by the project. The project would pay sewer connection fees, which would be used for future expansion of the City’s wastewater system as needed. Project impacts on wastewater services would be less than significant. d, e) Solid Waste Services.

The project would generate solid waste materials consistent with proposed residential land uses.

The project is not anticipated to create unusual amounts of solid waste. All solid waste generated during construction and operations would be removed in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. These include the 2019 CALGreen, which requires construction projects to divert 65% The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

of all construction and demolition debris excluding inert and organic material and 90% of inert and organic materials from landfills through reuse and recycling. As of 2017, the Fink Road Landfill had approximately half of its maximum capacity available; as such, the landfill should have adequate capacity to accommodate project-generated solid waste. Project impacts would be less than significant.

c) Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment?
d) Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
Environmental Setting
The Environmental Checklist in CEQA Guidelines Appendix G has been revised to include a section addressing the potential impacts of a project as it relates to wildfire. As noted in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, the project site is not in an area susceptible to wildland fires; the site and surrounding lands are developed with urban uses.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Fire and Resource Assessment Program identifies fire threat based on a combination of two factors: 1) fire frequency, or the likelihood of a given area burning, and 2) potential fire behavior (hazard). These two factors are combined in determining the following Fire Hazard Severity Zones: Moderate, High, Very High, Extreme. These zones apply to areas designated as State Responsibility Areas – areas in which the State has primary firefighting responsibility. The project site is not within a State Responsibility Area and therefore has not been placed in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone for such areas (Cal Fire 2007a). Both the project site and surrounding area are in a Local Responsibility Area, where primary firefighting responsibility is by a local fire district or department, in this case the Ripon Consolidated Fire Protection District.

As discussed in Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, project construction is not expected to substantially obstruct emergency vehicles or any evacuations that may occur in the area with implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-1. The project would not obstruct any roadways once construction work is completed. Project impacts related to wildfire emergency response plans or emergency evacuation plans would be less than significant with mitigation.

Level of Significance: Potentially significant
Mitigation Measures: Implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ-1.

Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant
b) Exposure of Project Occupants to Wildfire Hazards.

The project site is not part of a State Responsibility Area, and Cal Fire maps indicate the site is not designated within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone or a zone of higher severity for either State or Local Responsibility Areas. The project site is in a predominantly residential area, which is not prone to wildfires. The project would reduce the existing fire hazard on the project site by replacing existing grasses and weeds with developed area and landscaping. The project would have no impact related to exposure of project occupants to wildfire hazards.
c) Installation and Maintenance of Infrastructure.

The project proposes the construction of new urban residential buildings, including site improvements, parking areas, landscaping and utilities. The installation of these facilities is not expected to exacerbate the wildfire risk on the project site, which is minimal as explained in b) above. The project would have no impact related to exacerbation of wildfire hazards by infrastructure improvements.
d) Risks from Runoff, Post-Fire Slope Instability, or Drainage Changes.

The project site is in a topographically flat area entirely developed for urban uses. There are no streams or other channels that cross the site. As such, it is not expected that people or structures would be exposed to significant risks from changes resulting from fires in steeper areas, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides. The project would have no impact related to risks from runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes.

a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,
substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important
examples of the major periods of California history or
prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively
considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.)
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly?
NARRATIVE DISCUSSION
a) Findings on Biological and Cultural Resources.

The project’s potential cultural, and tribal cultural resource impacts were described in Sections 3.5 and 3.18, respectively. Potentially significant environmental effects were identified in these issue areas, but these effects would be reduced to levels that would be less than significant with implementation of identified mitigation measures. b) Findings on Individually Limited but Cumulatively Considerable Impacts.

The potential cumulative impacts of urban development of the site were accounted for in the Ripon General Plan EIR. The EIR evaluated the potential environmental impacts of development under the 2006 General Plan, with which this project is consistent. Significant impacts were identified, but most of these impacts could be mitigated to a level that would be less than significant (City of Ripon 2005).

However, the General Plan EIR identified two impacts that were considered significant and unavoidable: direct and indirect conversion of Farmland, and potential violation of air quality. Project impacts that contribute to these two significant and unavoidable impacts may be cumulatively considerable. As discussed in Section 3.2, Agriculture and Forestry Resources, the project would have no impact on either direct or indirect Farmland conversion. Also, as discussed in Section 3.3, Air Quality, while the project would The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

contribute air pollutant emissions, the project emissions would be below SJVAPCD significance thresholds, which were developed in part to determine if a project would interfere with the attainment of air quality standards. Therefore, the project would not make a cumulatively considerable contribution to impacts on these two issues.

As described in this IS/MND, the potential environmental effects of the project would either be less than significant or would have no impact at all. Where the project involves potentially significant effects, these effects would be avoided or reduced to a level that is less than significant with proposed mitigation measures and/or compliance with applicable regulations and conditions of required permits. Given this, the potential environmental impacts of the project would not be cumulatively considerable. c) Findings on Adverse Effects on Human Beings.

Potential adverse effects on human beings were discussed in Section 3.7, Geology and Soils (seismic hazards); Section 3.9, Hazards and Hazardous Materials; Section 3.10, Hydrology and Water Quality (flooding); Section 3.17, Transportation (traffic hazards); and Section 3.20, Wildfire. All potential adverse effects on human beings identified in those sections would be reduced to levels that are less than significant through mitigation measure or through compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.

5.0 NOTES RELATED TO EVALUATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The following notes are included in the Environmental Information Checklist shown in Appendix G of the State CEQA guidelines. The notes provide guidance as to the proper use of the form.
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from “Earlier Analyses,” as described in (5) below, may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed: Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.

Packet Pg. 272 Attachment: CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration (3529 : Bethany Home - The Terraces at Bethany (UP21-70)) Bethany Home IS/MND 5-2 June 2022
c) Mitigation Measures: For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures, which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances).

Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

INTRODUCTION
Evans & De Shazo, Inc. (EDS) completed a Historic Resource Evaluation (HRE) of a property at 816 W. Main Street, Ripon, San Joaquin County, California within Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 259-18-017 (Property).

The Property includes the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape. Although currently in the development phase, the project consists of the proposed demolition of the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, ca. 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape. The Property is not currently listed on the City of Ripon Historic Resources Inventory (2006), the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD) for San Joaquin County and is not listed on any other federal, state, or local historic resource list. In addition, the Property does not appear to have been previously evaluated for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR). As such, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an HRE of the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape is required to determine if any built environment resources within the Property are eligible for the listing on the CRHR and provide recommendations as warranted.

The HRE is based on specific guidelines and evaluation criteria of the CRHR (14 CCR §15064.5 and PRC § 21084.1). The following HRE was completed by EDS Principal Architectural Historian Stacey De Shazo, M.A., who exceeds the Secretary of the Interior’s qualification standards in Architectural History and History, and Bee Thao, M.A., and Nicole LaRochelle, M.S., who assisted with the research.

The results of the HRE are presented herein.

PROPERTY LOCATION
The Property is located at 816 W. Main Street, Ripon, San Joaquin County, California. The Property is situated on the southeast corner of W. Main Street and Vera Avenue within the city of Ripon, approximately 0.5 miles south of Highway 99 and about 1.5 miles north of the Stanislaus River. The Property includes the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape.

REGULATORY SETTING
The CEQA regulations, as they pertain to cultural resources, are outlined below.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
CEQA and the Guidelines for Implementing CEQA (State CEQA Guidelines CCR § 15064.5) give direction and guidance for evaluating properties, and the preparation of Initial Studies, Categorical Exemptions, Negative Declarations, and Environmental Impact Reports. Pursuant to California State law, the city of Ripon is legally responsible and accountable for determining the environmental impact of any land use proposal it approves.

Cultural resources are aspects of the environment that require identification and assessment for potential significance under CEQA (14 CCR § 15064.5 and PRC § 21084.1).

There are five classes of cultural resources defined by the State OHP. These are:
• Building: A structure created principally to shelter or assist in carrying out any form of human activity. A “building” may also be used to refer to a historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn.
• Structure: A construction made for a functional purpose rather than creating human shelter.

Examples include mines, bridges, and tunnels.
• Object: Construction primarily artistic in nature or relatively small in scale and simply constructed.

It may be movable by nature or design or made for a specific setting or environment. Objects should be in a setting appropriate to their significant historic use or character. Examples include fountains, monuments, maritime resources, sculptures, and boundary markers. • Site: The location of a significant event. A prehistoric or historic occupation or activity, or a building or structure, whether standing, ruined, or vanished, where the location itself possesses historic, cultural, or archaeological value regardless of the value of any existing building, structure, or object.

A site need not be marked by physical remains if it is the location of a prehistoric or historic event and if no buildings, structures, or objects marked it at that time. Examples include trails, designed landscapes, battlefields, habitation sites, Native American ceremonial areas, petroglyphs, and pictographs.
• Historic District: Unified geographic entities which contain a concentration of historic buildings, structures, or sites united historically, culturally, or architecturally.

According to CCR § 15064.5, cultural resources are historically significant if they are:
(1) A resource listed in or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources (PRC § 5024.1, 14 CCR § 4850 et seq.). (2) A resource included in a local register of historical resources, as defined in PRC § 5020.1(k) or identified as significant in a historical resource survey meeting the requirements PRC § 5024.1(g), shall be presumed to be historically or culturally significant. Public agencies must treat any such The Terraces - CEQA Document - Mitigated Negative Declaration

Main Street, Ripon, San Joaquin County, California. 4 resource as significant unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that it is not historically or culturally significant.
(3) Any object, building, structure, site, area, place, record, or manuscript that a lead agency determines to be historically significant or significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military, or cultural annals of California may be considered to be a historical resource, provided the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. Generally, a resource shall be considered by the lead agency to be “historically significant” if the resource meets the criteria for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources (PRC § 5024.1, 14 CCR § 4852), including the following:
(A) Is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of California's history and cultural heritage;
(B) Is associated with the lives of persons important in our past; (C) Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or represents the work of an important creative individual, or possesses high artistic values; or (D) Has yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. (4) The fact that a resource is not listed in or determined to be eligible for listing in the CRHR, not included in a local register of historical resources pursuant to PRC § 5020.1(k) or identified in a historical resources survey meeting the criteria in PRC § 5024.1(g) does not preclude a lead agency from determining that the resource may be a historical resource as defined in PRC § 5020.1(j) or § 5024.1.

METHODS
The methods used to complete the HRE included a review of a record search conducted by the Central California Information Center (CCIC) of the California Historical Resource Information Systems (CHRIS) (CCIC File #12159L) to obtain primary records associated with the Property and the cultural resource inventories listed below. EDS also conducted extensive online research, including at the San Joaquin County Assessor/Recorder Office, the San Joaquin Historical Museum, and the Ripon Historical Society. EDS also reviewed digital documents, on file, with EDS, such as historical maps, historical aerial photographs, and other primary source documents. The purpose of the research was to understand the history of the Property and the surrounding area to assist in developing a historical context to evaluate the historical significance of the built environment resources within the Property. EDS Principal Architectural Historian Stacey De Shazo, M.A. also completed an architectural survey to identify the age, any known architectural style or form, characterdefining features, materials, and alterations of the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape within the Property.

HISTORICAL SETTING
The following historical setting provides a brief history of the city of Ripon and a specific historical context associated with the Property, including the 1928 Ripon Christian School building, 1928 auxiliary building, and associated landscape. The historical setting serves as the basis for evaluating the historical significance of the built environment resources within the Property.

MEXICAN PERIOD (1821 – 1848)
In 1821, Mexico declared its independence from Spain and took possession of “Alta California”,1 marking the end of the Spanish period (1769 – 1821) and the beginning of the Mexican period, also referred to as the “rancho” period in Alta California. In 1833, the missions in California were secularized by the Mexican government, and mission-owned land was dissolved. During this time, extraordinary changes occurred throughout California, as the Mexican government lacked the strong oversight and military rule previously imposed by the Spanish, and as such, there were new opportunities for trade when foreign ships that had previously been held off by Spanish guarded military ports could dock and provide a variety of provisions to local settlers throughout California. These new provisions, including tea, coffee, sugars, spices, spirits, and a variety of manufactured goods, made their way into the region, and the taxes on these imported goods became the main source of revenue for the Mexican government in California. Likewise, products produced in Alta California were exported, which bolstered the hide and tallow trade that became the primary business activity in California during this time. During this time, the Mexican colonial authorities encouraged the settlement of Alta California by providing large land grants called ranchos to politically prominent persons that were loyal to the Mexican Government and permitting foreigners to settle the land. As a result, the 20 or so ranchos that had existed in Alta California during the Spanish period increased to roughly 800 ranchos that varied from 10,000 to 20,000 acres during the Mexican period. During the Mexican period, the Property was situated within unclaimed lands of the Mexican government.

In 1846, during the Mexican Period, a colony of twenty Mormon pioneers led by Samuel Brannan settled near present-day Ripon. According to the Latter-day Saints Millennial Star newspaper, 2 a group of Mormon’s
believed “Northern California - not the basin of the Great Salt Lake - was the location of the new Mormon mecca and the place where the Saints could practice their controversial religion and polygamous lifestyle in peace.” The settlement, known as New Hope (CHL 436), 3and later Stanislaus City, 4 was located at the
junction of the San Joaquin and Stanislaus rivers. According to the Latter-day Saints Millennial Star newspaper, in 1847,
1 Alta California was a polity of New Spain founded in 1769 and became a territory of Mexico after the Mexican War of Independence in 1822.

While some of the brethren were sowing wheat, others were building a fence. Oak trees were cut up and put end to end and were then covered with branches. By the middle of January 1847, the whole field was planted and enclosed”.

The new settlers irrigated by the pole and bucket method, constructed a sawmill, and started a ferry across the Stanislaus River.

EARLY AMERICAN PERIOD (1848 – 1855)
The beginning of the American Period in California is marked by the end of the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848) in 1848, when the U.S. took possession of the territories including California, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona in the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on February 2, 1848. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided the resident Mexicans their American citizenship and guaranteed title to ranchos granted in the Mexican period. However, less than two weeks prior to the treaty's signing, on January 24, 1848, James Marshall discovered gold at Sutter’s Mill, which marked the start of California’s Gold Rush (1848 to 1855).

Soon the excitement of the Gold Rush and the promise of fertile and abundant land brought between 150,000 and 200,000 new settlers to California from all over the U.S., as well as Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany, and France.5 6In an effort to quickly resolve Mexican rancho land disputes, the U.S. Congress passed the California Land Act of 1851, which established a three-member Public Land Commission (Commission) to determine the validity of prior Spanish and Mexican land grants. 7 The act required landowners who claimed
title under the Mexican government to file a claim with the Commission within two years. Although the Commission eventually confirmed most of the original Mexican land grants, the burden was on landowners to prove their title and many Mexican land-grant owners were forced to sell off some or all their land and cattle to newly arriving settlers or the lawyers they hired to define their land claims in court.8 During this time, the Property was not located within a land grant. However, it was considered public land surveyed under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) in the early 1850s and made available to new settlers.

HISTORY OF RIPON
The first European American settler in Ripon was William Hiller Hughes, who in 1857 claimed 160 acres of 5 Karen Clay, Property Rights and Institutions: Congress and the California Land Act 1851, The Journal of Economic History, Cambridge University Press, 59(01):122-142, March 1999. 6 Commodore Stockton was also responsible for driving the Mexican forces out of California during the MexicanAmerican War. 7 The Spanish government-controlled California land from approximately 1770 to 1821 and the Mexican governmentcontrolled California land from 1821 to 1846. 8 Nancy Olmsted.

Main Street, Ripon, San Joaquin County, California. 8 public land near the Stanislaus River within the Dent Township within San Joaquin County.9 William was born in Greene County, Pennsylvania in 1821, where he worked on his father’s farm until he was 24. In 1845, he married Margaret Hill, born in Caton, Ohio. William and Margaret had one son, George F., born in 1845.

During the late 1840s, they rented a farm near Jefferson, Greene County, Pennsylvania, and in 1849, they moved to Missouri, where William again took up farming. Margaret died in 1850. In 1851, William married Eliza Jane Dye, born in Ohio in 1831. In 1853, they migrated to California and first settled in Sonora, where William began mining within Shaw’s Flats (CHL No. 395), the location of a large gold strike in 1848, and later an active mining community. After some success in mining at Shaw’s Flats, William and Eliza bought 160 acres of timberland near the town of Sonora, which they cleared and planted grain. In 1857, William, Eliza, and George moved to San Joaquin County, where William bought 160 acres of land near Ripon, where he grew wheat and barley.10 In 1860, William purchased approximately 320 acres of adjoining land and later added another 160 acres of adjacent land to his holdings. Around 1870, he purchased 281 acres of land within present-day Ripon, selling the first lots for the town’s development. By 1875, William had amassed approximately 2,300 acres of land within and around Ripon.

Another earlier settler of Ripon was Perry Yaple, who was born in New York in 1825. In 1852, he migrated to California, where he first settled in the city of Stockton, where he opened a barley grinding mill. In 1861, he sold his mill and moved to Ripon to raise bees and produce honey; however, a bee epidemic in 1868 wiped out nearly all his beehives. By 1869, he turned to grain farming within his property in the present-day city of Ripon.

In 1870, William Hughes provided land for the Southern Pacific railroad right of way that ran through his property and donated land for a train depot. The depot, first named “Stanislaus Station”, was the terminus of the Visalia branch of the Southern Pacific being built to Fresno. In 1874, Amplias B. (A.B.) Crooks, a native of Ripon, Wisconsin, arrived at Stanislaus Station and opened the first mercantile store in Ripon. This same year, Crooks applied to the government for the establishment of a post office and on December 21, 1874, Crooks was named the first postmaster of the town that he named Ripon. During this time, Ripon consisted of large farms, mainly planted in grain.

In the 1870s, early settler Frank Hutchinson described Ripon in the following way, "At this time the present site of Ripon was the end of the railroad. A crew of men were building the bridge across the Stanislaus River, one mile southeast of the switch. Benjamin and Clara Frederick rigged up a cookhouse out of brush and served meals to the workers.

They were the only inhabitants except a population of ground squirrels, jack rabbits, and a few of the badger family in the fall and winter. Wild geese and ducks came down from the north by the millions and garnered the grain left by the farmers during the harvest. The land was all farmed to wheat and barley at that time by Perry Yaple, Isaac Koch, and Hughes, all pioneers of the locality, each one owning land that is now in the so called city limits of Ripon, 9 Natalie W.

In 1875, Crooks’store burned down, and a few years later, a new building was constructed by Henry Bowman, who then sold the building and the business to Perry Yaple. Perry Yaple then deeded the building to his son B.F Yaple,12 who opened a general merchandising store within the building. In 1886, Perry Yaple had the twostory International Order of the Odd Fellow’s (IOOF) hall (extant) constructed along Main Street in Ripon.

During this time, E. C. Dickerson (third Postmaster of Ripon) and J. H. Little also erected a new building on Main Street, which housed a mercantile store.

By 1884, the town had grown and included a hotel and saloon, several schools, several merchandise stores, a blacksmith shop, several churches, two large warehouses, and approximately 14 houses. During this time, B.F. Yaples store occupied the lower floor and IOOF building, and the upstairs meeting hall was where the Odd Fellows Lodge No. 58 held its meetings.
13 Lodge No. 58 was originally associated with an IOOF building in Sonora, but gradually lost its membership as gold mining waned. So, when former Sonora member lvm. E.

Garatt moved to Ripon, he had the IOOF charter moved to Ripon.14 The first IOOF meeting at its new location opened to 12 members. During the 1880s and 1890s, the IOOF hall was the hub of all activity in the town, and the second-floor hall was also used as a Sunday school and church, and dances, as well as other social gatherings. By this time, there was also a saloon within a section of the first floor. During this time, both the Catholic and Methodist faiths had established a presence in Ripon. In 1899, the Ripon Cemetery Association was established as a non-profit association, electing officers who represented the pioneer families of Ripon, including F. H. Kincaid, President; H. H. Clendenin, Vice-President; Mrs. Maggie Hughes, Treasurer; Frank Hutchinson, Secretary and member, Perry Yaple and through their efforts, this same year, the Ripon Cemetery was established on land donated by J. S. Moulton.

During this time, agricultural land in Ripon was primarily utilized for dry farming – growing crops that were drought resistant such as grain, and for cattle grazing. In 1895, H.W. Cowell and N.S. Harrold formed the Stanislaus and San Joaquin Water Company. The company had a system of ditches along the Stanislaus River from Knights Ferry to Manteca, called the “Tulloch System,” which spanned 47 miles and distributed water to 3,000 acres of land in Manteca and Oakdale, allowing for the growing of fruit and nut crops. In 1909, South San Joaquin Irrigation District arrived in Ripon, and large landholdings of early settlers, including Hughes and Yaple, were reduced to 10 to 30-acre farms and sold to small farmers. Soon, dry farming gave way to row crops, such as melons and almond trees began to appear and dairies, creating new business in support of the agricultural industry (Figure 2). During this time, the success of the dairy farms in Ripon was directly related to the influx of Portuguese immigrants who rented land and established the first large dairy farms in the area (Figure 3). In 1906, Ripon’s first grapevines were planted by Teresa Carrara, and in 1910, with her husband 11 Natalie W.

In the 1910s, Ripon’s agricultural economy flourished, and more businesses along Main Street were constructed (Figure 4). Real estate speculators also began to arrive in Ripon. In 1912, real estate ads produced by The Ripon Realty Co. and others advertised “choice town lots” available for development in Ripon. 15 During
this time, the first public library opened, which consisted of a 50-volume shelf of books within the “McKee & Reynolds” mercantile building on main street. Over the next four decades, “Reading Rooms” in various private homes provided the public with additional access to books until the Ripon Library was constructed in 1948 (Figure 5).
16 In 1916, Dutch farmers began to arrive in Ripon, attracted by the advertisements of real estate speculators touting the availability of rich farmlands and later by the formation of the Society for Christian Instruction in 1924. During this time, the Dutch were mainly involved in dairying, many owning their own dairy businesses (Figure 6). The Dutch residents also constructed the first Christian Reform Church (no longer extant), where the current City Hall now stands. In 1921, the Ripon Fire District was formed, and this same year, the Meyenberg Bros. company built its first evaporated milk plant, known as the “Meyenberg Bros. Milk Creamery” (aka as Meyenberg Evaporated Milk Company). The Meyenberg Bros. company was drawn to Ripon due to its booming dairy industry, which was an essential part of the future success of the evaporated milk plant. During the 1920s, the plant handled 100,000 pounds of milk per day and produced 7,000 cases of evaporated milk per day. In 1929, the milk plant was purchased by “Pet Milk Company”, which in the 1940s became part of the Nestlé, which operated out of the existing plant on Stockton Street. During this time, Highway 99 was constructed, and the town needed signage to direct traffic to its business district (Figure 7), which included several businesses, including the N & S irrigation supply store that supported the growing agricultural community (Figure 8).

By 1941, Ripon’s dairy businesses had grown to a 4.7 million dollar industry, mainly supported by Dutch, Portuguese, and later Swiss farmers. In 1944, the Ripon City water district voted to have Ripon operate its own water company, and in 1945, Ripon was incorporated as a city. Hans Madsen was elected the city’s first mayor and L. S. Brady served as the first city clerk. In 1953, the city government was changed to a city administrator type of government, with L. S. Brady to hold the position of the first city manager, serving until May 1957. In 1960, the town of Ripon had 1,894 residents. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Ripon saw suburban residential growth that spread in undeveloped areas within the town, and by 1970 Ripon’s population had grown to 2,679.
