With implementation of MM CUL-1, potential impacts to unknown subsurface unique archaeological resources, historical resources, tribal cultural resources, and human remains would be less than significant.
VI. Energy
Roseville Electric provides electrical power in the City, and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides natural gas. The City purchases wholesale electrical power from both the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), which is generated by the federal government’s Central Valley Project, which produces 100 percent hydroelectric energy sources from a system of dams, reservoirs, and power plants within central and northern California (see GP EIR, pp. 2-36 tp 2-37). In addition, up to 50 percent of the City’s power is generated at the City-owned Roseville Energy Park (REP) (see GP EIR, p. 2-36). The REP is a 160-megawatt natural-gas-fired power plant that uses a combined cycle gas turbine technology. The City also owns the 48 megawatt combustion-turbine Roseville Power Plant 2 (REP 2), which is used during peak energy use. The City’s electric power mix varies from year-to-year, but is approximately 40 percent eligible renewable resources, 13 percent large hydroelectric, 22 percent natural gas, and 24 percent unspecified (see GP EIR, p. 4.15-1 to 4.15-2).

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
Established in 2002, California’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) currently requires that 33 percent of electricity retail sales be served by renewable energy resources by 2020, and 60 percent by 2030. Pursuant to Senate Bill 100 (2018), the State of California is required to generate 100 percent of electricity from carbon free sources by 2045. The City published a Renewables Portfolio Standard Procurement Plan in June 2018, and continues to comply with the RPS reporting and requirements and standards. There are no numeric significance thresholds to define “wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary” energy consumption, and therefore significance is based on the questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a and b, above), and by the use of expert judgment supported by facts, relying on the policies, codes, and regulations adopted by the City and by regulatory agencies with regulatory authority related to energy. The analysis considers compliance with regulations and standards, project design as it relates to energy use (including transportation energy), whether the SV project will result in a substantial unplanned demand on the City’s energy resources, and whether the SV project will impede the ability of the City to meet the RPS standards.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a, b) The SV project would consume energy both during construction and operation. During construction, fossil fuels, electricity, and natural gas would be used by construction vehicles and equipment. However, the energy consumed during construction would be temporary, and would not represent a significant demand on available resources (see GP EIR, p. 4.15-10). Further, there are no unusual project characteristics that would necessitate the use of construction equipment or methods that would be less energy-efficient or that would be wasteful.
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
The completed SV project would consume energy related to building operation, exterior lighting, landscape irrigation and maintenance, and vehicle trips to and from the SV project site. In accordance with California Energy Code Title 24, the SV project would be required to meet the Building Energy Efficiency Standards. These include, to name a few, standards for water and space heating and cooling equipment; insulation for doors, pipes, walls, and ceilings; and appliances. The SV project would also be eligible for rebates and other financial incentives from both the electric and gas providers for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances and systems, which would further reduce the operational energy demand of the SV project.
The GP EIR included an assessment of energy impacts for the entire City planning area. The analysis included consideration of transportation energy, and evaluated walkability, alternative transportation modes, and the degree to which the mix and location of uses would reduce vehicle miles traveled in the plan area. The EIR also included a citywide assessment of energy demand based on the existing and proposed land uses within the City, including the Infill Area where the SV project would be located (see GP EIR, pp. 4.15-12 to 4.15-16). Impacts related to operational energy consumption were found to be less than significant (see GP EIR, p. 4.15-18).
Because the SV project, in conjunction with the SVSP project, would not increase the number of residential units that were originally approved for the SV project site in the GP, the SV project would use similar energy as that assumed in the GP. As a result, the SV project is consistent with the current citywide assessment of energy demand, and will not result in substantial unplanned, inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of energy.
Further, full buildout of the GP, inclusive of the SV project site, would not conflict with any State or local plans for renewable energy and energy efficiency (see GP EIR, p. 4.15-19). Therefore, impacts to energy are less than significant. No mitigation is required.
VII. Geology and Soils
As described in the Safety Element of the GP, there are three inactive faults (Volcano Hill, Linda Creek, and an unnamed fault) in the vicinity, but there are no known active seismic faults within Placer County. The last seismic event recorded in the South Placer area occurred in 1908, and is estimated to have a magnitude of approximately
4.0 on the Richter Scale. Due to the geographic location and soil characteristics within the City, the GP indicates that soil liquefaction, landslides, and subsidence are not a significant risk in the area. See also the GP EIR (pp.
4.7-1 to 4.7-14). According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Database (2020), two types of soil occur on the SV project site: Cometa-Fiddyment complex, present on 1 to 5 percent slopes; and Cometa-Ramona sandy loams, present on 1 to 5 percent slopes (see Attachment 7). According to a 2019 review of geologic maps, literature review, and records search performed at the University of California, Berkeley Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), the SV project site is located in an area known to include rock formations that are of high paleontological sensitivity (GP EIR, pp. 4.7-4 to 4.7-5).

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to geology and soils is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a–f listed above). Regulations applicable to this topic include the Alquist-Priolo Act, which addresses earthquake safety in building permits, and the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act, which requires the state to gather and publish data on the location and risk of seismic faults. The Archaeological, Historic, and Cultural Resources section of the GP also directs the proper evaluation of and, when feasible, protection of significant archaeological resources, which for this evaluation will include paleontological resources (Policies 1 and 2). Section 50987.5 of the California Public Code is only applicable to public land; that statute prohibits the excavation, removal, destruction, or defacement/injury to any vertebrate paleontological site, including fossilized footprints or other paleontological feature.
The Findings of the Implementing Procedures indicate that compliance with the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (RMC Ch.9.80) and Design/Construction Standards (Resolution 07-107) will prevent significant impacts related to checklist item b. The Ordinance and standards include permit requirements for construction and development in erosion-prone areas and ensure that grading activities will not result in significant soil erosion or loss of topsoil. The use of septic tanks or alternative waste systems is not permitted in the City; therefore, no analysis of criterion e is necessary.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) The SV project will not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving seismic shaking, ground failure or landslides.
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
i–iii) According to United States Geological Service mapping and literature, active faults are largely considered to be those that have had movement within the last 10,000 years (within the Holocene or Historic time periods);4 and there are no major active faults in Placer County. The California Geological Survey has prepared a map of the state that shows the earthquake shaking potential of areas throughout California based primarily on an area’s distance from known active faults. The map shows that the City lies in a relatively lowintensity ground-shaking zone. Commercial, institutional, and residential buildings, as well as all related infrastructure, are required, in conformance with Chapter 16, Structural Design Requirements, Division IV, Earthquake Design of the California Building Code, to lessen the exposure to potentially damaging vibrations through seismic-resistant design. In compliance with the Code, all structures in the SV project area would be well-built to withstand ground shaking from possible earthquakes in the region. Therefore, impacts associated with seismic activity would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. iv) Landslides typically occur where soils on steep slopes (15 percent or more) become saturated or where natural or manmade conditions have taken away supporting structures and vegetation (see GP EIR, p.
4.7-10). The existing and proposed slopes of the SV project site are not steep enough to present a hazard during development or upon completion of the SV project. In addition, measures would be incorporated during construction to shore up minor slopes and prevent potential earth movement. Therefore, impacts associated with landslides would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. b) Grading activities will result in the disruption, displacement, compaction and over-covering of soils associated with site preparation (grading and trenching for utilities). Grading activities for the SV project will be limited to the SV project site. Grading activities require a grading permit from the Engineering Division. The grading permit is reviewed for compliance with the City’s Construction Standards, including the provision of proper drainage (Section 101), appropriate dust control (Section 111), and erosion control measures (Section 111). Grading and erosion control measures will be incorporated into the required grading plans and improvement plans. Therefore, the impacts associated with disruption, displacement, and compaction of soils associated with the SV project would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. c, d) The soils on the site include Cometa-Fiddyment complex and Cometa-Ramona sandy loams (see Attachment 7). These soil types are not listed as geologically unstable or sensitive in the Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey for Placer County Web Soil Survey.5 Nor are the soil types listed as expansive in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code. Therefore, impacts associated with soils would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
e) Future development on the SV project site would not include septic tanks or any onsite wastewater treatment.
The SV project will eventually be hooked up to City sewer facilities. Therefore, there would be no impact. No mitigation is required.
f) No paleontological resources are known to exist on the SV project site per the cultural resources inventory and evaluation conducted for the SV project (see Attachment 9). However, the possibility exists for uncovering subsurface paleontological resources during construction. MM GEO-1, included below, would ensure that all subsurface paleontological discoveries would be properly handled and managed.
MM GEO-1: If paleontological resources are discovered during the course of construction, work shall be halted immediately within 50 meters (165 feet) of the discovery, the City of Roseville shall be notified, and a qualified paleontologist shall be retained to determine the significance of the discovery. If the paleontological resource is considered significant, it should be excavated by a qualified paleontologist and given to a local agency, State University, or other institution with expertise in paleontology, where the resource could be curated and displayed for public education purposes.

With implementation of MM GEO-1, potential impacts to unknown subsurface paleontological resources and human remains would be eliminated and this impact would be less than significant.
VIII. Greenhouse Gases
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. The principal GHGs that enter the atmosphere because of human activities are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. As explained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,6 global average temperature has increased by more than 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since the late 1800s, and most of the warming of the past half century has been caused by human emissions. The City has taken proactive steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which include the introduction of GP policies to reduce emissions, changes to City operations, and climate action initiatives. For an inventory of State and Placer County GHGs, refer to the GP EIR (pp. 4.5-3 to 4.5-5).

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
A.B. 32 (the California Global Warming Solutions Act), signed by Governor Schwarzenegger of California in September 2006, found that climate change resulting from global warming was a threat to California, and directed that “the State Air Resources Board design emissions reduction measures to meet the statewide emissions limits for greenhouse gases . . .”. The target established in A.B. 32 was to reduce emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2020. CARB subsequently prepared the Climate Change Scoping Plan (Scoping Plan) for California, which was approved in 2008. The Scoping Plan provides the outline for actions to reduce California’s GHG emissions, and has been updated twice.
Senate Bill 32 (S.B. 32) was signed by the Governor on September 8, 2016, to establish a reduction target of 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 (see GP EIR, pp. 4.5-7 to 4.5-8). CARB’s updated its Scoping Plan in 2017 in order to change the target year from 2020 to 2030, based on the targets established in S.B. 32 (see GP EIR, p. 4.5-7). Critically, the 2017 Scoping Plan also sets the path toward compliance with the 2050 target embodied within Executive Order S-3-05 as well (see GP EIR, p. 4.5-8). According to the 2017 Scoping Plan the statewide 2030 reduction target is 260 million metric tons. The Scoping Plan recommends an efficiency target approach for local governments for 2030 and 2050 target years.
PCAPCD recommends that thresholds of significance for GHG be related to statewide reduction goals and has adopted thresholds that take into account the 2030 reduction target. The thresholds include a de minimis and a bright-line maximum threshold, as well as residential and non-residential efficiency thresholds. In adopting its General Plan 2035, the City included an appendix that contained “implementation measures” consistent with recommended mitigation measures from the EIR for the General Plan. On the question of how to assess the 6 See EPA Climate Change Overview: https://www.epa.gov/climate-change.
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
significance of proposed projects’ operational GHG-related impacts, the appendix provides that the City should assess whether such projects’ GHG emissions exceed “PCAPCD-recommended thresholds of significance” (see GP, Appendix A, p. A-217
). The analysis here takes that approach.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a, b) Operational GHGs are primarily emitted as a result of vehicle operation associated with trips to and from a project, and energy consumption from operation of the buildings. GHGs from vehicles are assessed based on the vehicle miles traveled (VMT) resulting from a project, on a Citywide basis. At full build out, it is anticipated that the SV project would emit approximately 906.65 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year (MTCO2e/yr), consisting primarily of mobile emissions (see Attachment 10, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculations for Sierra View (October 13, 2021) by Raney Planning & Management, Inc.). These projected emissions fall below the PCAPCD-recommended threshold of significance for project-level operational GHG emissions of 1,100 MTCO2e/yr. Therefore, the SV project would not generate operational GHG emissions that would have a significant impact on the environment, and this impact is less than significant. No mitigation is required. Construction-related GHG emissions occur at one point in time and are therefore not typically expected to significantly contribute to climate change. Climate change is a cumulative effect that occurs over time, as emissions increase on a year-to-year basis due to increases in developed area and other factors; construction emissions are a one-time emission source, which end once the SV project is built. Furthermore, the site developer would be required to comply with all PCAPCD rules and regulations for construction, which would reduce exhaust emissions thereby reducing construction-related GHG emissions (see Section III. Air Quality; see also GP EIR, p. 4.5-29). Although the SV project is subject to these rules and regulations, this is not because the SV project would otherwise cause significant construction-related impacts from GHG emissions. The SV project would not exceed the applicable PCAPCD threshold of significance. The PCAPCD’s bright-line threshold for project construction emissions is 10,000 MTCO2e/yr; the SV project is estimated to produce 719.07 MTCO2e/yr over the approximately two-year construction period—well below the threshold (see Attachment 10).
Therefore, the SV project would not generate construction-related GHG emissions considered to have a significant impact on the environment, and this impact is less than significant. No mitigation is required.
IX. Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The SV project site is undeveloped and does not contain any existing buildings that might contain lead-based paint or other older hazardous building materials. The site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (aka, the Cortese List).8 Would the SV project:

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to hazardous materials is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a–g listed above). A material is defined as hazardous if it appears on a list of hazardous materials prepared by a federal, state or local regulatory agency, or if it has characteristics defined as hazardous by such an agency. The determination of significance based on the above criteria depends on the probable frequency and severity of consequences to people who might be exposed to the health hazard, and the degree to which project design or existing regulations would reduce the frequency of or severity of exposure.
As an example, products commonly used for household cleaning are classified as hazardous when transported in large quantities, but one would not conclude that the presence of small quantities of household cleaners at a home would pose a risk to a school located within ¼-mile.
Many federal and State agencies regulate hazards and hazardous substances, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), California Department of Toxic Substances Control, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The state has been granted primacy (primary responsibility for oversight) by the EPA to administer and enforce hazardous waste management programs. State regulations also have detailed planning and management requirements to ensure that hazardous materials are handled, stored, and disposed of properly to reduce human health risks. California regulations pertaining to hazardous waste management are published in the California Code of Regulations (see COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
8 CCR, 22 CCR, and 23 CCR). The SV project site is not within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public or private use airport.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a, b) Standard construction activities would require the use of hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, lubricants, glues, paints and paint thinners, soaps, bleach, and solvents. These are common household and commercial materials routinely used by both businesses and average members of the public. The materials only pose a hazard if they are improperly used, stored, or transported either through upset conditions (e.g., a vehicle accident) or mishandling. In addition to use of hazardous materials during construction, operation of the SV project would result in the use of common hazardous materials as well, including bleach, solvents, and herbicides. Regulations pertaining to the transport of materials are codified in 49 Code of Federal Regulations 171–180, and transport regulations are enforced and monitored by the California Department of Transportation and by the California Highway Patrol. Specifications for storage on a construction site are contained in various regulations and codes, including the California Code of Regulations, the Uniform Fire Code, and the California Health and Safety Code. These same codes require that all hazardous materials be used and stored in the manner specified on the material packaging. See the GP EIR for more detail (pp. 4.10-2 to 4.10-2). Existing regulations and programs are sufficient to ensure that potential impacts as a result of the use or storage of hazardous materials are reduced to less-than-significant levels (see GP EIR, p. 4.10-20). No mitigation is required.
c) See response to Items (a) and (b) above. While development of the site will result in the use, handling, and transport of materials deemed to be hazardous, the materials in question are commonly used in both residential and commercial applications, and include materials such as bleach and herbicides. The SV project will not result in the use of any acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste, therefore there would be no release of these materials with ¼ mile of an existing or proposed school. This impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
d) The SV project is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 (see GP EIR, pp. 4.10-2 to 4.10-5), Therefore, no impact will occur. No mitigation is required. e) The SV project site is not within an airport land use plan or within two miles of a public or private use airport see GP EIR, p. 4.10-7). Therefore, there would be no impact. No mitigation is required. f) This SV project site is located within an area currently receiving City emergency services and development of the site has been anticipated and incorporated into emergency response plans. As such, the SV project will cause a less-than-significant impact to the City's Emergency Response or Management Plans (see GP EIR, p. 4.10-26).
Furthermore, the SV project will be required to comply with all local, State, and federal requirements for the handling of hazardous materials, which will ensure less-than-significant impacts. These will include the following programs:
• A Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP) is required of uses that handle toxic and/or hazardous materials in quantities regulated by the California Health and Safety Code and/or the City. • Businesses that handle toxic or hazardous materials are required to complete a Hazardous Materials Management Program (HMMP) pursuant to local, State, or federal requirements.
No mitigation is required.
g) The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) is the state agency responsible for wildland fire protection and management. As part of that task, CAL FIRE maintains maps designating Wildland Fire Hazard Severity zones. The City is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and is not in COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
a CAL FIRE responsibility area.
9 Fire suppression is entirely within local responsibility (see GP EIR, p. 4.10-7).
Wildland is defined by CAL FIRE as “unincorporated areas covered wholly or in part by trees, brush, grass, or other flammable vegetation.”10 The SV project site is no located in a wildland area; it is located in an urban infill area and is not adjacent to any wildlands. Therefore, the SV project would not expose people to any risk from wildland fire and there would be no impact. No mitigation is required.
X. Hydrology and Water Quality
With respect to groundwater, the City is located in the North American subbasin, which underlies northern Sacramento, southern Sutter, and western Placer counties. The subbasin is bounded by the Bear River on the north, the Feather River and Sacramento Rivers on the west, the American River on the south, and a north/south line extending from the Bear River south to Folsom Lake that passes about 2 miles east of the City of Lincoln.
The subbasin encompasses approximately 351,000 acres (see GP EIR, p. 4.13-8). For surface water, the City is located within the Pleasant Grove Creek Basin and the Dry Creek Basin (see GP EIR, p. 4.13-3). Pleasant Grove Creek and its tributaries drain most of the western and central areas of the City and Dry Creek and its tributaries drain the remainder of the City. Most major stream areas in the City are located within designated open space. See also the GP EIR (pp. 4.13-1 to 4.13-11). The SV project site contains a central manmade drainage ditch that flows south to north into an intermittent tributary that flows east to west, as well as a number of seasonal wetland and vernal pool features scattered around the site (see Attachment 7; see also Attachment 10, Preliminary Storm Drainage Evaluation for Sierra View (August 3, 2021) by MacKay & Somps11).

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to hydrology and water quality is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a–e listed above). For checklist item a, c (i), d, and e, the Findings of the Implementing Procedures indicate that compliance with the City’s Design/Construction Standards (Resolution 07-107), Urban Stormwater Quality Management and Discharge Control Ordinance (RMC Ch. 14.20), and Stormwater Quality Design Manual (Resolution 16-152) will prevent significant impacts related to water quality or erosion. The standards require preparation of an erosion and sediment control plan for construction activities and include designs to control pollutants within post-construction urban water runoff. Likewise, it is indicated that the Drainage Fees for the Dry Creek and Pleasant Grove Watersheds (RMC Ch.4.48) and City Design/Construction Standards (Resolution 07-107) will prevent significant impacts related to checklist items c (ii) and c (iii). The ordinance and standards require the collection of drainage fees to fund improvements that mitigate potential flooding impacts, and require the design of a water drainage system that will adequately convey anticipated stormwater flows without increasing the rate or amount of surface runoff. These same ordinances and standards prevent impacts related to groundwater (items a and d), because developers are required to treat and detain all stormwater onsite using stormwater swales and other methods which slow flows and preserve infiltration. Finally, it is indicated that compliance with the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (RMC Ch. 9.80) will prevent significant impacts related to items c (iv) and e. The Ordinance includes standard requirements for all new construction, including regulation of development with the potential to impede or redirect flood flows, and prohibits development within flood hazard areas. Impacts from tsunamis and seiches were screened out of the analysis (item e) because the SV project is not located near a water body or other feature that would pose a risk of such an event.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a, c(i), e) The SV project will involve the disturbance of onsite soils and the construction of impervious surfaces, such as asphalt paving and buildings. Disturbing the soil can allow sediment to be mobilized by rain or wind, and cause displacement into waterways. To address this issue and others, the developer is required to apply for and receive approval from the City for a grading permit and/or improvement plans prior to the start of construction.
The permit or plans are required to incorporate mitigation measures for dust and erosion control. In addition, the City has a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Stormwater Permit issued by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board that requires the City to reduce pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent practicable. The City does this, in part, by means of the City’s 2016 Design/Construction Standards, which require preparation and implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
development such as the SV project. All permanent stormwater quality control measures must be designed to comply with the City’s Manual for Stormwater Quality Control Standards for New Development, the City’s 2016 Design/Construction Standards, Urban Stormwater Quality Management and Discharge Control Ordinance, and Stormwater Quality Design Manual. See also the GP EIR (pp. 4.13-28 to 4.13-30, 4.13-33 to 35). See Attachment 10 for specific detail on storm drain infrastructure and detention proposed as part of the SV project to ensure compliance with all applicable measures, permits, and programs by improving drainage and reducing impacts, including installing a network of drainage pipes, large box culverts, a detention basin, vegetated swales, disconnected impervious surfaces, and bioretention facilities.
All of these measures, permits, and programs, which are required for the SV project, are put in place to ensure that impacts to surface water quality are negligible or less than significant, as would be the case here (see also Attachment 10, p. 13). As a result of these requirements, the SV project would not: violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality; substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site in a manner that results in substantial erosion or siltation; or conflict with a surface water quality control plan. Also to note is that the West Placer Groundwater Sustainability Agency, which is the governing groundwater sustainability agency for the region, has not yet finalized and adopted a sustainable groundwater management plan; thus, there can be no conflict with such a sustainable groundwater management plan. Therefore, impacts to these resources would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
b) The SV project does not involve the installation of groundwater wells. The City maintains wells to supplement surface water supplies during multiple dry years, but the effect of groundwater extraction on the aquifer was addressed in the City’s Urban Water Master Plan and evaluated in the GP EIR. The SV project is consistent with the GP land use designation, in that it does not exceed the planned and approved full buildout of the City’s Infill Area, and is thus consistent with the citywide evaluation of water supply (see GP EIR, p. 4.13-31). As a result, the SV project would not substantially decrease groundwater supplies. Furthermore, all permanent stormwater quality control measures must be designed to comply with the Stormwater Quality Design Manual, which requires the use of bioswales and other onsite detention and infiltration methods. These standards ensure that stormwater will continue to infiltrate into the groundwater aquifer and that potential water quality impacts from such groundwater recharge would be less than significant. Given the lack of significant impacts to groundwater, there would not be a conflict with a sustainable groundwater management plan. Therefore, impacts to these resources would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. c(ii,iii), d) A portion of the SV project site is located in a 200-year flood hazard zone, which means that, statistically, a flood event would occur once every 200 years on these portions of the site (see GP EIR, p. 4.13- 37). However, the SV project has been reviewed by City Engineering staff for conformance with City ordinances and standards. The SV project includes adequate and appropriate facilities to ensure no net increase in the amount or rate of stormwater runoff from the site, and which will adequately convey stormwater flows. See the discussion above on design and construction standards. See also the GP EIR (pp. 4.13-35 to 4.13-41). In fact, improvements made to the site as a result of eventual development would treat and mitigate flood waters in a manner that does not currently occur and better distribute flood water, along with water quality measures, throughout the entirety of the site (see Attachment 10, p. 13). Moreover, the entire City has 200-year flood protection currently in place. Therefore, impacts resulting from runoff would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
d) The SV project has been reviewed by City Engineering staff for conformance with City ordinances and standards. Although a portion of the site is located in a 200-year flood hazard zone (see discussion above on checklist items c(ii,iii), d), the SV project is not located within either the Federal Emergency Management Agency floodplain or the City’s Regulatory Floodplain (defined as the floodplain which will result from full buildout of the City) (see Attachment 10). Moreover, the entire City has 200-year flood protection currently in place. Therefore, the SV project will not impede or redirect flood flows. Nor will it be inundated. The SV project is located within an area of relative flat topography and is not near a waterbody or other feature that could cause a seiche or tsunami COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
(see GP EIR, p. 4.13-41). Therefore, there would be less-than-significant impacts with regard to these criteria.
No mitigation is required.
XI. Land Use and Planning
The SV project site is currently undeveloped and designated/zoned for both Medium Density Residential/R3 (Multi-Family Housing) (Infill Planning Parcel 100) and Low Density Residential/R1 (Single-Family Residential (Infill Planning Parcel 100). The area surrounding the parcels is fully developed and designated/zoned according to Table 1 above.

X
Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to land use is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a and b listed above). Consistency with applicable City GP policies, Improvement Standards, and design standards is already required and part of the City’s processing of permits and plans, so these requirements do not appear as mitigation measures.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) The area around the SV project site is fully developed as planned, for residential (mostly low density and some medium density), recreation (a golf course), and some public use (a public school). The SV project site, currently planned for medium density residential, is now proposed as low density residential. This change would not alter the underlying land use for the property, which would remain residential. Indeed, it would better align the SV project site with existing low density residential development to the north, northeast, and east of the site.
The SV project would be required to adhere to all City Design Standards to ensure its design features comported with and complemented those of the surrounding developments (see GP EIR, p. 4.1-17). Therefore, the SV project will not physically divide an established community and there would be no impact. No mitigation is required.
b) The SV project would, if approved, formally change the land use designation and zoning for the SV project site; therefore, at that time, it would not conflict with any specific adopted land use plans or zoning designations.
Furthermore, the underlying use of the SV project site as residential development will continue to comport with the underlying anticipated use that exists in current planning documents, albeit at a reduced degree of development (see GP, p. 4.1-24). The reduction in housing on the site would in turn reduce potential environmental impacts and therefore reduce the risk of policy violations. As well, the SV project will be required to adhere to all City Design/Construction Standards, which would ensure local regulations were honored. The SV project will, however, require the removal of several protected trees in conflict with the City’s Tree Ordinance.
However, this potentially significant impact is mitigated by application for and approval of a Tree Permit that will COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
contain conditions of approval and/or measures, as prescribed in MM BIO-4, to ensure tree removal results in a less-than-significant impact. After implementation of MM BIO-4, this impact would be less than significant.
XII. Mineral Resources
The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) of 1975 requires the State Geologist to classify land into Mineral Resource Zones (MRZs) based on the known or inferred mineral resource potential of that land. The California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG) was historically responsible for the classification and designation of areas containing—or potentially containing—significant mineral resources, though that responsibility now lies with the California Geological Survey (CGS). There are four broad MRZ categories (MRZ1 through MRZ-4), and only MRZ-2 represents an area of known significant mineral resources. CDMG published Open File Report 95-10, which provides the mineral classification map for Placer County. There is only one small MRZ-2 designation area, located at the far eastern edge of the City. But largely, the City does not overlie any known deposits of economically valuable mineral resources (see GP EIR, p. 4.7-1) Would the SV project:

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to mineral resources is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a and b listed above). Mineral resources are regulated pursuant to the abovereferenced programs and agencies.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a, b) The SV project site is not in the one small portion of the City known to include any mineral resources that would be of local, regional, or statewide importance. Therefore, the SV project would have impacts on mineral resources. No mitigation is required.
XIII. Noise
The area immediately surrounding the SV project site consists primarily of residences and a golf course, with a public school located southeast of the site and two local roadways leading to, or adjacent to, the site. The nearest arterial roadways are Washington Avenue and Atlantic Street, but both are separated from the SV project site by development. Thus, there are no potential sources of significant noise in the area. Ambient noise levels surrounding the SV project site are made up of typical residential noises, with fixed noise sources such as landscape activities (leaf blowers, mowers, etc.) (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-55) and transportation noises such as local traffic (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-50), as well as fixed noise sources associated with landscaping and maintaining golf course greens.

area to excessive noise levels?
X
Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
Standards for transportation noise and non-transportation noise affecting existing or proposed land uses are established within the GP Noise Element. The significance of other noise impacts is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items b and c listed above), as well as the GP Noise Element, the City’s Noise Ordinance, and the professional judgment of City staff and consultants. The Findings of the Implementing Procedures indicate that compliance with the City Noise Regulation (RMC Ch. 9.24) will prevent significant non-transportation noise. The Ordinance establishes noise exposure standards that protect noisesensitive receptors from a variety of noise sources, including non-transportation/fixed noise, amplified sound, industrial noise, and events on public property.
Section 9.24.030(G) of the Noise Ordinance exempts noise from private construction (e.g., construction, alteration, or repair activities) between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; however, all construction equipment must be fitted with factory installed muffling devices and all construction equipment shall be maintained in good working order.
These exemptions are typical of City and County noise ordinances and reflect the recognition that constructionrelated noise is temporary in character, is generally acceptable when limited to daylight hours, and is part of what residents of urban areas expect as part of a typical urban noise environment (along with sirens, etc.).
The SV project site is not within an airport land use plan, within two miles of a public or public use airport and there are also no private airstrips in the vicinity of the SV project area.

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a, b) The area immediately surrounding the SV project site includes noise-sensitive land uses, specifically residential and school facilities (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-5). Temporary, short-term construction noise would occur during project construction. However, Section 9.24.030(G) of the City’s Noise Ordinance exempts noise from private construction that occurs between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekends from City noise standards, provided that all construction equipment is fitted with factory installed muffling devices and maintained in good working order (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-48). Project construction would occur within these hours and construction equipment would be outfitted and maintained as prescribed in the Ordinance, pursuant to MM NOISE-1.
MM NOISE-1: Limits Hours of Construction and Muffle/Maintain Construction Equipment. Project construction shall occur only between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekends to limit construction noise. All construction equipment shall be fitted with factory installed muffling devices and maintained in good working order, pursuant to City Noise Ordinance Section 9.24.150(G).
With implementation of MM NOISE-1, potential impacts associated with construction noise would be less than significant.
Section 9.24.100 of the City’s Noise Ordinance establishes operational sound level standards by which exposure of sensitive receptors to noise is regulated for area-wide sources, including fixed sources, such as those associated with residential development, and transportation sources, such as local traffic. Hourly sound levels are limited to 50 dB Leq in the daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and 45 dB Leq at nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-38). Hourly sound levels are limited to 70 dB Lmax in the daytime (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.) and 65 dB Lmax at nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). The permanent ambient noise levels associated with the proposed residential development would be similar to, if not the same as, surrounding residential development. Quiet urban daytime noise levels are expected to be approximately 50 dBA with nighttime levels around 40 dBA, with landscaping activities such as lawnmowing at a maximum of approximately 68 dBA (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-4). These levels do not exceed the City’s standards. Further, the project developer, and future residents, would be required to comply with City Noise standards, and the City considers this to be adequate for preventing significant noise impacts, including those related to local traffic. Therefore, there would be a lessthan-significant impact to a permanent increase in ambient noise as a result of project operation. No mitigation is required.
c) Surrounding uses may experience short-term increases in groundborne vibration and groundborne noise levels during construction. However, these increases would only occur for a short period of time and would only occur during daytime hours, per MM NOISE-1. While the noise generated may be a minor nuisance, the City Noise standards are designed to ensure that impacts are not unduly intrusive. There would be no excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise during project operation as these events are not associated with low density residential development (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-67). Therefore, with implementation of MM NOISE-1, potential impacts associated with groundborne vibration and groundborne noise would be less than significant. d) The SV project site is not within an airport land use plan, within two miles of a public or public use airport and there are also no private airstrips in the vicinity of the SV project area. Therefore, there is no impact. No mitigation is required.
XIV. Population and Housing
The SV project site is located within the Infill Area and has a land use designation of Medium Density Residential.
The GP Table II-4 identifies the total number of residential units and population anticipated as a result of buildout of the City. The GP had allocated a total 223 medium density residential units for the property (inclusive the adjacent development to the south with 55 existing medium density residential units).

X
Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to population and housing is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a and b listed above). The GP governs planned growth within the City.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) The CEQA Guidelines identify several ways in which a project could have growth-inducing impacts (Public Resources Code Section 15126.2), either directly or indirectly. Growth-inducement may be the result of fostering economic growth, fostering population growth, providing new housing, or removing barriers to growth. Growth inducement may be detrimental, beneficial, or of no impact or significance under CEQA. An impact is only deemed to occur when it directly or indirectly affects the ability of agencies to provide needed public services, or if it can be shown that the growth will significantly affect the environment in some other way. The SV project will induce growth, but planned growth. The SV project is consistent in its underlying land use with the GP and proposes less growth (fewer residential units) on the SV project site than is approved under the GP. Thus, any growth induced by the SV project was already identified and its effects disclosed and mitigated through the GP process. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. b) The SV project site is undeveloped and vacant. No housing exists on the SV project site, and thus no people or housing would be directly displaced by the SV project. The SV project would, however, reduce the number of residential units that were planned for the site, which would create a violation of the 2019 Housing Crisis Act (S.B. 330) absent an offsetting increase in residential capacity elsewhere within the City. However, these units are being reallocated to two other parcels within the City, as described and analyzed in the subsequent Addendum, for a net zero loss of planned housing units within the City. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
XV. Public Services
The Roseville Fire Department provides fire protection, fire suppression, emergency medical services, and hazardous materials management within the City. The SV project site is approximately 1.4 miles from its nearest fire station, Fire Station No. 1 at 401 Oak Street (see GP EIR, p. 4.11-2). The City Police Department, headquartered at 1051 Junction Boulevard, provides primary law and traffic enforcement services within the City limits (see GP EIR, p. 4.11-1). The SV project site is within the Roseville City School District and adjacent to Ferris Spanger Elementary School. Lastly, the SV project site is located nearby two community parks: Diamond Oaks Park and Woodbridge Park.

Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to public services is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a–e listed above). The GP EIR addressed the level of public services which would need to be provided in order to serve planned growth in the community (see GP EIR, Section 4.11). In all proposed growth areas of the City, the City has adopted policies, Development Agreements, or other requirements or conditions that identify the physical facilities needed to serve growth, and the funding needed to provide for the construction and operation of those facilities and services. In addition, the SV project has been routed to the various public service agencies, both internal and external, to ensure that the SV project meets the agencies’ design standards (where applicable) and to provide an opportunity to recommend appropriate conditions of approval.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) Existing City codes and regulations require adequate water pressure in the water lines, and construction must comply with the Uniform Fire and Building Codes used by the City. Additionally, the Applicant would be required to pay a fire service construction fee, which is used for purchasing capital facilities for the Fire Department; thus, any expansion of physical facilities required for firefighting would be a result of this program and not any one individual development. Therefore, existing codes, regulations, funding agreements, and facilities plans are sufficient to ensure a less-than-significant impact to fire services and firefighting facilities (see GP EIR, pp. 4.11- 23 to 4.11-25). No mitigation is required.
b) Funding for police services is provided through the collection of property taxes and sales taxes. Further, the SV project is required to pay the City’s public facilities fee, which is used to construct or expand facilities, such as the police station, as needed to accommodate the GP policy regarding levels of service. Any expansion of physical facilities required for providing police services would be a result of City-wide decisions and not as a result of any one individual development. Therefore, existing codes, regulations, funding agreements, and facilities plans are sufficient to ensure a less-than-significant impact to police services and law enforcement facilities (see GP EIR, pp. 4.11-22 to 4.11-23). No mitigation is required. b) The SV project would be required to pay school impact fees at a rate determined by the local school district and state law. School fees are collected prior to the issuance of building permits, consistent with City requirements. The Infill Area is almost fully developed and school sites have already been established based on full buildout of the GP for that area. Thus, school facilities would not be impacted by the SV project in a manner that would result in substantial adverse physical impacts causing significant environmental impacts. Therefore, existing codes, regulations, and facilities plans are sufficient to ensure a less-than-significant impact to schools and school facilities (see GP EIR, pp. 4.11-25 to 4.11-27). No mitigation is required.

c) Pursuant to Conditions of Approval for the proposed development, future residents will be required to pay special taxes collected with the annual property tax bill for each residential parcel, associated with the Infill Community Facilities District No. 4, which provides funding for park services. The Infill Area is almost fully developed and parks have already been established and would not be impacted by the SV project in a manner that would result in substantial adverse physical impacts causing significant environmental impacts (see XVI.
Recreation). Therefore, existing codes, regulations, funding agreements, and facilities plans are sufficient to ensure a less-than-significant impact to parks and park facilities. No mitigation is required. d) The City operates its own library system of three (3) libraries: the Maidu Library, the Downtown Library, and the Martha Riley Community Library. The SV project will pay, at the time of the issuance of a building permit, the City’s public facilities fee, which provides funding for capital improvements related to City facilities. Any expansion of physical facilities required for providing library services would be a result of City-wide decisions and not as a result of any one individual development. In addition, the City charges fees to end-users for other services, such as garbage and greenwaste collection, in order to fund those services. Any expansion of facilities required for those services would likewise be a product of City-wide decisions and not as a result of any one individual development. Therefore, existing codes, regulations, funding agreements, and facilities plans are sufficient to ensure a less-than-significant impact to other public facilities. No mitigation is required.
XVI. Recreation
The SV project site is undeveloped with no approved recreational facilities, but it is located adjacent and to the east of a private golf course (Sierra View) and south of another golf course (Diamond Oaks), albeit separated by low density housing. Also located nearby the site are two community parks (Diamond Oaks Park and Woodbridge Park) as well as recreational facilities located within nearby public schools (Ferris Spanger Elementary School and Roseville High School). Overall, the City possess an abundance of private and public recreational facilities, by design (see GP EIR, pp. 4.11-10 to 4.11-14).

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) The SV project does not exceed the planned buildout of the GP and in fact reduces the number of residential units planned for the Infill Area. Notwithstanding, the GP EIR took into account the use of neighborhood and regional recreational facilities at full buildout in its analysis, and found the potential impact to be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.11-27). Also, proposed development will include a private home owners’ association (HOA) owned and maintained park and open space for the enjoyment of its future residents, which would reduce any potential usage of other existing nearby recreational facilities (see Attachment 1). The SV project must comply all existing codes, regulations, funding agreements, and facilities plans that govern recreation, which would further ensure that no existing recreation facilities would incur significant physical deterioration as a result of the SV project. Therefore, there would be a less-than-significant impact to City recreation facilities. No mitigation is required.
b) The proposed development includes a private HOA owned and maintained park (see Attachment 1). The construction of this park would occur as one part of the overall development being proposed as part of the SV project; thus, it is analyzed throughout this document. Each impact conclusion reached, and mitigation measure proposed, applies to the construction of this park. There would be no unforeseen or new impacts related to the construction of this park, which will be part of the overall project analyzed in this IS. As demonstrated throughout this initial study, the SV project would have a less than significant effect on the environmental with some mitigation. Therefore, the construction of this community park also would have less-than-significant impacts with mitigation.

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The City has adopted the following plans, ordinances, or policies applicable to checklist item a: Pedestrian Master Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, Short-Range Transit Plan, and GP Circulation Element. The SV project is evaluated for consistency with these plans and the policies contained within them. For checklist item b, the CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 establishes a detailed process for evaluating the significance of transportation impacts. In accordance with this section, the analysis must focus on the generation of VMTs; effects on automobile delay cannot be considered a significant impact. The City developed analysis guidance and thresholds as part of the 2035 GP Update project approved in July 2020. The detailed evaluation and justification is contained within the GP EIR (see GP EIR, pp. 4.3-21 to 4.3-30).
Future projects consistent with the GP will not require further VMT analysis, pursuant to the tiering provisions of CEQA. For projects which are inconsistent, CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(b) allows lead agencies discretion to determine, in the context of a particular project, whether to rely on a qualitative analysis or performance-based standards. CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.7(b) allows lead agencies the discretion to select their own thresholds and allow for differences in thresholds based on context.
Quantitative analysis would not be required if it can be demonstrated that a project would generate VMT which is equivalent to or less than what was assumed in the GP EIR. When quantitative analysis is required, the threshold of 12.8 VMT/capita may be used for projects not within the scope of the GP EIR, provided the cumulative context of the 2035 GP has not changed substantially. Since approval of the 2035 GP, the City has not annexed new land, substantially changed roadway network assumptions, or made any other changes to the 2035 assumptions, which would require an update to the City’s VMT thresholds contained within the GP EIR.
Therefore, the threshold of 12.8 VMT/capita remains appropriate.
For checklist item b, the analysis here is primarily qualitative because the nature of a project is such that it would not generate VMT that exceeds what was assumed in the GP EIR (see GP EIR, p. 4.3-29; see also Attachment 12, Transportation Impact Study for Sierra View (September 7, 2021) by Fehr & Peers, p. 7). Impacts associated with checklist items c and d are assessed based on the expert judgment of the City Engineer and City Fire Department, as based upon facts and consistency with the City’s Design and Construction Standards.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) The City has adopted a Pedestrian Master Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, and Short-Range Transit Plan. The SV project was reviewed for consistency with these documents. The SV project includes all minor residential streets with pedestrian sidewalks and connectivity to both Diamond Oaks Road and Shasta Street (see Attachment 1). This style of roadway development is consistent with the policies of the adopted, applicable documents listed above. Therefore, there would be no conflict and a less-than-significant impact (see GP EIR, pp. 4.3-40 to 4.3-43). No mitigation is required.
b) Pursuant to the GP EIR and the January 2021 Amendments to the City of Roseville Design and Constructions Standards, VMT analysis is not required for projects that fall within the scope of land uses analyzed in the GP EIR because it can be assumed that such projects would generate equivalent or less VMT than what was assumed in the GP EIR (see Attachment 12, p. 7). If a project falls within these parameters, then it is considered to not exceed the City’s VMT threshold, resulting in a less-than-significant impact (see GP EIR, p. 4.3-29). The proposed development is a reduced version of the originally approved housing density that was analyzed in the GP EIR. As a result, it would not exceed VMT projections that were analyzed in the GP EIR. Therefore, no additional VMT analysis is required and there would be a less-than-significant impact. No mitigation is required. c, d) The SV project’s interior roadways would be constructed to comply with applicable City’s Design Standards, Fire Codes and other emergency-related design standards, pursuant to standard conditions of approval. Indeed, the SV project has been reviewed by the City Engineering and City Fire Department staff and has been found to be consistent with these regulations.

features, refer to Attachment 12, pp. 6 to 7 and the Tentative Map in Attachment 1. Compliance with existing regulations ensures that impacts associated with transportation-related hazards and emergency access would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
XVIII. Tribal Cultural Resources
As described within the Open Space and Conservation Element of the GP, the Roseville region was within the territory of the Nisenan (also Southern Maidu or Valley Maidu). See the GP EIR for additional tribal regional history (pp. 4.9-2 to 4.9-4). Two large permanent Nisenan habitation sites have been identified and protected within the City’s open space (in Maidu Park). Numerous smaller tribal cultural resources, such as midden deposits and bedrock mortars, have also been recorded in the City. A majority of documented sites containing tribal cultural resources within the City are located in areas designated for open space uses.
Would the SV project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a Tribal Cultural Resource as 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:

In addition to unique archeological resources and historical resources, tribal cultural resources are also given particular treatment. Tribal cultural resources are defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074, as either 1) a site, feature, place, geographically-defined cultural landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe, that is listed or eligible for listing on the California Register of Historical Resources, or on a local register of historical resources or as 2) a resource determined by the lead agency, supported by substantial evidence, to be significant according to the historical register criteria in Public Resources Code Section 5024.1(c), and considering the significance of the resource to a California Native American Tribe.

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) A cultural resources inventory and evaluation survey was conducted for the SV project site (see Attachment 9). That evaluation did not find any site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is listed or eligible for listing in the in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1(k). However, the possibility exists of uncovering subsurface tribal resources during project construction (see Attachment 9) that might qualify for listing. MM CUL-1 would ensure that all subsurface tribal cultural discoveries would be properly handled and managed in accordance with applicable State law. With implementation of MM CUL-1, potential impacts to unknown subsurface tribal cultural resources that might qualify for listing would be eliminated and this impact would be less than significant. b) Notice of the SV project was mailed to tribes that had requested such notice pursuant to A.B. 52. Notice was also provided pursuant to S.B. 18 for early consultation for the amendment of general plans (see Attachment 13, Tribal Consultation Letters). A request for consultation was received by one culturally affiliated tribe—the United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC)—on August 18, 2021, The City proceeded to consult with this Tribe.
The Tribe indicated the possibility that tribal cultural resources may exist onsite that would be of significance to them and that may be unearthed during construction. After consultation discussions between the Tribe, the City, and the Applicant, the following mitigation measures were developed to address this potential impact taking into account tribal preferences and best practices.
Mitigation Measure TCR-1: Unpaid Tribal Observation
A minimum of seven days prior to beginning earthwork or other soil disturbance activities, the Construction Manager shall notify the City of the proposed earthwork start-date, in order to provide the City representative sufficient time to contact the consulting tribe(s). A single tribal representative shall be invited to, at its discretion, voluntarily observe any or all ground-disturbing activities during construction. The tribe shall be provided 72 hours to accept or decline observation. The single tribal observer shall be required to comply with all job site safety requirements and shall sign a waiver of liability prior to entering the job site. Should the tribe choose not to observe any or all of the activity, the City shall deem the mitigation measure completed in good faith without tribal observation as long as the notification was made and documented.
Mitigation Measure TCR-2: Contractor Awareness Training The Construction Manager shall ensure that a Contractor Awareness Training Program is delivered to train equipment operators about cultural resources and tribal cultural resources. The program shall be designed to inform construction personnel about: federal and state regulations pertaining to cultural resources and tribal cultural resources; the subsurface indicators of resources that shall require a work stoppage; procedures for notifying the City of any occurrences; and project-specific requirements; and enforcement of penalties and repercussions for non-compliance with the program.
The training shall be prepared by a qualified professional archaeologist and reviewed by City for approval, and may be provided in an audio-visual format, such as a DVD. The Construction Manager shall provide culturally affiliated tribes that consulted on the project the option of attending the initial training in person and/or providing additional materials germane to the unanticipated discovery of tribal cultural resources for incorporation into the training.
The training program shall be required for all construction supervisors, forepersons, and operators of grounddisturbing equipment and all personnel shall be required to sign a training roster and display a hardhat sticker that is visible to City inspectors. The construction manager is responsible for ensuring that all required personnel receive the training. The Construction Manager shall provide a copy of the signed training roster to the City as proof of compliance.
Mitigation Measure TCR-3: Post-Review Discovery Procedures If subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin, or tribal cultural resources, are discovered during construction, all work shall halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery, and the Construction Manager shall immediately notify the City of Roseville Development Services Director by phone. The Construction COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
Manager shall also immediately coordinate with the monitoring archeologist or project archaeologist and (if present) tribal monitor, or, in the absence of either, contact the consulting tribe(s) and a qualified professional archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology and subject to approval by the City, to evaluate the significance of the find and develop appropriate management recommendations in coordination with the consulting tribe(s) if the find is a tribal cultural resource.
All management recommendations shall be provided to the City in writing for the City’s review and approval. If recommended by the qualified professional and consulting tribes and approved by the City, this may include modification of the no-work radius.
The professional archaeologist must make a determination, based on professional judgement and supported by substantial evidence, within one business day of being notified, as to whether or not the find represents a cultural or tribal resource or has the potential to be a cultural or tribal cultural resource. The consulting tribe shall also be given the opportunity to provide, within one business day of being notified, a determination as to whether or not the find represents a tribal cultural resource or has the potential to be a tribal cultural resource.
The type of discovery, as described below will determine the subsequent actions. These include: 1) a work pause that, upon further investigation, is not actually a discovery and the work pause was simply needed in order to allow for closer examination of soil (a “false alarm”); 2) a work pause and subsequent action for discoveries that are clearly not related to tribal resources, such as can and bottle dumps, artifacts of European origin, and remnants of built environment features; and 3) a work pause and subsequent action for discoveries that are likely related to tribal resources, such as midden soil, bedrock mortars, groundstone, or other similar expressions.
Whenever there is question as to whether or not the discovery represents a tribal resource, culturally affiliated tribes shall be consulted in making the determination. Whenever a tribal monitor is present, the monitor shall be consulted.
The following processes shall apply, depending on the nature of the find, subject to the review and approval of the City:
• Response to False Alarms: If the professional archaeologist determines that the find is negative for any cultural indicators, and tribal representatives have not indicated the find is a tribal cultural resource, then work may resume immediately upon notice to proceed from the City’s representative.
No further notifications or archaeological consultation is necessary if it is determined that the discovery is not a cultural or tribal cultural resource of any kind. The professional archaeologist shall provide written documentation of this finding to the City, which shall include as an attachment any written documentation provided by tribal representatives or monitors. • Response to Non-Tribal Discoveries: If a tribal monitor is not present at the time of discovery and a professional archaeologist determines that the find represents a non-tribal cultural resource from any time period or cultural affiliation, the City shall be notified immediately, to consult on a finding of eligibility and implementation of appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. The professional archaeologist shall provide a photograph of the find and a written description to the City of Roseville. The City of Roseville will notify any [tribe(s)] who, in writing, requested notice of unanticipated discovery of non-tribal resources. Notice shall include the photograph and description of the find, and a tribal representative shall have the opportunity to determine whether the find represents a tribal cultural resource. If a response is not received within 24 hours of notification (none of which time period may fall on weekends or City holidays), the City will deem this portion of the measure completed in good faith as long as the notification was made and documented. If requested by a [tribe(s)], the City may extend this timeframe, which shall be documented in writing (electronic communication may be used to satisfy this measure). If a notified tribe responds within 24 hours to COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
indicate that the find represents a tribal cultural resource, then the Response to Tribal Discoveries portion of this measure applies. If the tribe does not respond or concurs that the discovery is nontribal, work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; or 2) that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction.
• Response to Tribal Discoveries: If the find represents a tribal or potentially tribal cultural resource that does not include human remains, the consulting tribe(s) and City shall be notified. The City will consult with the tribe(s) on a finding of eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be either a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, or a Tribal Cultural Resource, as defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code. Preservation in place is the preferred treatment, if feasible. Work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; or 2) not a Tribal Cultural Resource, as defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code; or 3) that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction. • Response to Human Remains: If the find includes human remains, or remains that are potentially human, the construction supervisor or on-site archaeologist and (if present) tribal monitor shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance (AB 2641) and shall notify the City and Placer County Coroner (per § 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, § 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code, and Assembly Bill 2641 shall be implemented. If the Coroner determines the remains are Native American and not the result of a crime scene, the Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which then will designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the project (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The designated MLD will have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains. Public Resources Code § 5097.94 provides structure for mediation through the NAHC if necessary. If the landowner does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (§ 5097.94 of the Public Resources Code).
If no agreement is reached, the landowner must rebury the remains in a respectful manner where they will not be further disturbed (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). This will also include either recording the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center; using an open space or conservation zoning designation or easement; or recording a reinternment document with the county in which the property is located (AB 2641). Work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction.
With implementation of MM TCR-1, MM TCR-2, and MM TCR-3, in conjunction with implementation of MM CUL1, potential impacts to unknown subsurface tribal cultural resources that might be of significance to applicable tribes would be less than significant.
XIX. Utilities and Service Systems
Water and wastewater services for the SV project site are provided by the City, storm water would be transferred via pipe into the City’s offsite storm drain system, and solid waste would be collected by the City’s Refuse COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND

SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
Department (see GP EIR, pp. 4.12-1, 4.12-6, 4.12-10). The City also would provide electric service to the site, while natural gas would be provided by PG&E (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-11).

X
Thresholds of Significance and Regulatory Setting:
The significance of impacts related to utilities and service systems is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a–e listed above) and regulated by a variety of State and local rules.
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a) The SV project includes construction of a variety of utilities infrastructure, including sewer pipes and manholes, water lines, fire hydrants, electricity and cable lines, storm drain pipes/culverts and a stormwater basin, etc. (see Attachment 1, p. 2), which would tie into the City’s facilities or other providers’ facilities.
Construction of this onsite infrastructure would allow the SV project to be properly serviced but would not result in the relocation, construction, or expansion of any larger infrastructure facilities, such as a wastewater treatment plant, because the Infill Area where the SV project would be located is accounted for as existing development that is serviceable by existing facilities, versus new development in areas where specific plans have been or are COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND
November 5, 2021
SV Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162
being prepared, which likely will trigger an expansion of facilities (see GP EIR, pp. 4.12-20 to 4.12-24). Onsite project utility infrastructure is designed to be consistent with the GP and to comply with all applicable regulations.
As well, the Applicant or developer will be required to pay fees that fund the operation of the facilities and the construction of major infrastructure. Furthermore, construction of onsite infrastructure has been considered throughout this checklist as part of overall project development; thus, any associated potential environmental impacts are fully disclosed and mitigated, if necessary. Therefore, the SV project would be no significant environmental impacts associated with the relocation, construction, or expansion of infrastructure and infrastructure facilities, and this impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required. b) The City of Roseville 2015 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), adopted May 2016, estimates water demand and supply for the City through the year 2040, based on existing land use designations and population projections.12 In addition, the GP EIR estimates water demand and supply for ultimate buildout (see GP EIR, pp. 4.12-25 to 4.12-26). The SV project is consistent with existing underlying land use designations in that is does not exceed buildout assumptions, and is therefore consistent with the assumptions of the UWMP and GP EIR, which found a less-than-significant impact regarding water supply (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-28). In fact, the SV project, in conjunction with SVSP project, will decrease overall City water use by approximately 2.0 acre feet per year less than the usage calculated for the previously approved land uses (see the Addendum for more detail).
The UWMP indicates that existing water supply sources are sufficient to meet all near-term needs, estimating an annual water demand of 48,762 acre-feet per year (AFY) by the year 2035 and existing surface and recycled water supplies in the amount of 60,400 AFY in normal years (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-24). The UWMP establishes some water supply deficit during dry year scenarios, but establishes that mandatory water conservation measures and the use of groundwater to offset reductions in surface water supplies are sufficient to offset the deficit. Thus, the SV project would not require new or expanded water supply entitlements. Therefore, there would be a less-than-significant impact to water supply. No mitigation is required. c) The SV project would be served by the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant (PGWWTP). The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) regulates water quality and quantity of effluent discharged from the City’s wastewater treatment facilities. The PGWWTP has the capacity to treat 9.5 million gallons per day (mgd) and is currently treating 7.1 mgd (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-29). The SV project is projected to result in approximately 14,630 gpd (or 0.015 mgd) of wastewater, so there are no concerns that the PGWWTP could serve the SV project (see Attachment 14, Sewer Capacity Evaluation for Sierra View (April 21, 2021) by Woodard & Curran, p. 1). Further, the SV project is consistent with existing underlying land use designations in that is does not exceed buildout assumptions, which is how infrastructure capacity is planned. Moreover, the SV project, in conjunction with SVSP project, will decrease overall City wastewater generation by approximately
0.07 million gallons per day than the generation calculated for the previously approved land uses (see the Addendum for more detail).Therefore, the volume of wastewater generated by the SV project could be accommodated by PGWWTP, and the SV project would not contribute to an exceedance of applicable wastewater treatment requirements (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-30). The impact would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
d, e) The Western Placer Waste Management Authority is the regional agency handling recycling and waste disposal for the City and surrounding areas. The regional waste facilities include a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and the Western Regional Sanitary Landfill (WRSL). Currently, the WRSL is permitted to accept up to 1,900 tons of municipal solid waste per day with a permitted capacity of 36.4 million cubic yards and a remaining capacity of 29.1 million cubic yards (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-31). Under current projected development conditions, the WRSL has a projected lifespan extending through 2058. Thus, there is sufficient capacity to serve the SV project. Though the SV project will contribute incrementally to an eventual need to find other means of waste disposal, this impact of City buildout has already been disclosed and analyzed in the GP EIR and found to be less than significant on solid waste infrastructure (see GP EIR, p. 4.12-32). Moreover, all residences and 12 See City Urban Water Management Plan:

business in the City pay fees for solid waste collection, a portion of which is collected to fund eventual solid waste disposal expansion. Thus, the SV project will not result in any new impacts associated with major solid waste infrastructure. Environmental Utilities staff has reviewed the SV project for consistency with policies, codes, and regulations related to waste disposal and waste reduction regulations and policies and has found that project design is in compliance. Therefore, impacts associated with solid waste would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.
XX. Wildfire
The City is not located within or near a state responsibility area and also is not located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
If located in or near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard severity zones, would the SV project:

The significance of impacts related to wildfire is based directly on questions found in the CEQA Guidelines checklist (see items a–d listed above). CAL FIRE is the state agency responsible for wildland fire protection and management. As part of that task, CAL FIRE maintains maps designating Wildland Fire Hazard Severity zones and designates state responsibility areas.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
a–c) The SV project’s general “potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment” has been addressed throughout this IS. Impacts to biological resources are addressed above in the section devoted to that topic. Impacts associated with examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory are addressed in earlier sections addressing cultural resources and tribal cultural resources. The potential for environmental effects to cause substantial adverse effects on human beings is addressed in prior sections on air quality, hazards and hazardous materials, and water quality. The cumulative impacts to which the SV project will contribute in small part do not deviate beyond what was contemplated in the GP EIR (see GP EIR, Section
5.2) and do not exceed an thresholds of significant when considered in conjunction with the SVSP project (refer to the Cumulative Considerations section at the end of this combined CEQA document for more detail). With implementation of the City’s Mitigating Ordinances, Guidelines, and Standards and best management practices, mitigation measures described in this checklist, and assorted permitting conditions, the SV project would not COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: MND

have a significant impact on the habitat of any plant or animal species, cultural resources, or human health.
Based on the foregoing, the SV project would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of any wildlife species, or create adverse effects on human beings.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
In reviewing the site specific information provided for this project and acting as Lead Agency, the City of Roseville, Development Services Department, Planning Division has analyzed the potential environmental impacts created by the Sierra View Redesignation and Rezoning Project and determined that with mitigation the impacts are less than significant. As demonstrated in the initial study checklist prepared for this Mitigated Negative Declaration, there are no significant effects that cannot be reduced to less than significant effects through mitigation and therefore an EIR is not required. Therefore, on the basis of the foregoing initial study:
[ X ] I find that the proposed SV project COULD, but with mitigation agreed to by the Applicant, clearly WILL NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION has been prepared.

These sections are based on statutory language found in Public Resources Code section 21166. CEQA Guidelines section 15162 sets forth the conditions and facts that require a public agency, in considering a proposed project connected to a previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), to prepare a so-called “subsequent EIR.” Section 15163, in turn, identifies conditions and facts in which a “supplement to an EIR” may suffice in lieu of a full subsequent EIR. Section 15164, in turn, sets forth the conditions and facts in which neither one of these two documents is necessary, so that an addendum to the previously certified Final EIR may suffice. In general, an addendum to a previously certified Final EIR may be prepared for a project where only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or where none of the conditions calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Section 15164 also states that an addendum need not be circulated for public review, but can be included in or attached to the certified Final EIR for consideration by the hearing body.
Here, the relevant Final EIR was prepared and certified for the Sierra Vista Specific Plan (SVSP) in 2010. That document combined project-level review for most areas but only program-level review for areas within the socalled Urban Reserve (UR), inclusive of the two parcels on which the proposed SVSP Redesignation and Rezoning project (SVSP project) addressed in this document would be located. Subsequently, however, with COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in 2012 (2012 MND), this entire UR area was given General Plan, Specific Plan, and zoning designations anticipating a mix of residential, retail, commercial, public space, and open space uses. Taken together, the programmatic analysis of the UR area in the 2010 Final SVSP EIR and the project-level analysis for the former UR area in the 2012 MND create the practical equivalent of a project-level EIR for the former UR area, matching the project-level analysis for the rest of the SVSP area found in the 2010 Final SVSP EIR.
In Friends of College of San Mateo Gardens v. San Mateo County Community College Dist. (2016) 1 Cal.5th 937, 949, the California Supreme Court explained that “[o]nce a project has been subject to environmental review and received approval, [Public Resources Code] section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines section 15162 limit the circumstances under which a subsequent or supplemental EIR must be prepared. These limitations are designed to balance CEQA's central purpose of promoting consideration of the environmental consequences of public decisions with interests in finality and efficiency.” The subsequent review provisions, accordingly, are “designed to ensure that an agency that proposes changes to a previously approved project “explore[s] environmental impacts not considered in the original environmental document” (id. at p. 951 [italics added]). “This assumes that at least some of the environmental impacts of the modified project were considered in the original environmental document, such that the original document retains some relevance to the ongoing decision-making process. A decision to proceed under CEQA’s subsequent review provisions must thus necessarily rest on a determination—whether implicit or explicit—that the original environmental document retains some informational value” (ibid).
Consistent with these legal principles and CEQA Guidelines provisions governing subsequent review, the City of Roseville (City) prepared the analysis below in order to determine whether any of the conditions described in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. For purposes of this analysis the prior EIR under consideration is the 2010 SVSP Final EIR as augmented by the project-level analysis for the former UR areas as set forth in the 2012 MND. For purposes of the subsequent review provisions of the CEQA Guidelines, these two documents are treated as the practical equivalent a single, complete, integrated project-level EIR for the former UR areas, in which the two subject parcels are located.
After conducting its analysis in light of the Final EIR and 2012 MND, the City determined that an addendum to that previously certified Final EIR/MND is the appropriate environmental document for the SVSP project, as discussed and demonstrated below. This Addendum appropriately focuses only on those aspects of the SVSP project or its impacts that require additional discussion in light of the environmental analysis already found in the SVSP Final EIR.

SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As described in the introduction to this combined CEQA document, the SVSP project is one of two related actions that will be considered, and possibly approved, simultaneously in order for the City to comply with the 2019 California Housing Crisis Act (Senate Bill [S.B.] 330), and specifically with Government Code Section 65300.
The development associated with these actions would occur in different areas of the City with different applicable planning documents and require different types of CEQA analysis. To avoid confusion and ensure the most appropriate analysis is conducted, these actions are considered individually using different CEQA tools but in a combined larger document that also considers them cumulatively.
Project Location
The SVSP project is located in the northern part of the City of Roseville (City) Sierra Vista Specific Plan (SVSP) area, both north and south of Pleasant Grove Boulevard and east of Santucci Boulevard. The affected area consists of Parcels WB-31 and WB-41, which are approximately 11.20 acres and 10.11 acres in size, respectively.1 The site address is 3301 Pleasant Grove Boulevard, Roseville, CA 95661 and the Assessor’s Parcel Number for WB-41 is 496-100-030-000. See Figure 1 below and Attachment 1 for additional locational maps. See also the figure in the introductory portion of this combined CEQA document.
Figure 1: SVSP Project Location
Background and Environmental Setting
The SVSP was approved on May 5, 2010 (file #2007PL-044). An EIR was certified (SVSP EIR) and a Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMRP) was adopted along with the SVSP. At the time, Parcels WB-31 and WB-41 were not yet created and instead were included as part of a larger piece of land within the northwest portion of the plan area known and designated as the Urban Reserve (UR) area. While the majority of the Specific Plan area was analyzed on a project level within the SVSP EIR, the UR area was analyzed mostly at a programmatic level. 1 See Sierra Vista Specific Plan, Chapter 4 Land Use:

Subsequently, on June 15, 2012, the UR area was redesignated and rezoned into a mix of residential, retail, commercial, public space, and open space land uses. This action, which included approval of GP and SVSP amendments, a rezone, and a tentative map (file #2011PL-043), created the two parcels that are the subjects of this document. Prior to taking these planning actions, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) that augmented the SVSP EIR and provided any missing project-level CEQA analysis for the UR area (2012 MND). Taken together, the SVSP EIR and the 2012 MND constitute the totality of the EIR upon which this Addendum is based.
2 Parcel WB-31 is currently designated in the City of Roseville General Plan (GP) and the SVSP as High Density Residential (HDR) and zoned for (Multi-Family Housing) (R3) and allocated 263 units under the GP. Parcel WB41 is designated in the GP and SVSP as Community Commercial (CC) and zoned for Community Commercial (CC). Both parcels are undeveloped. The immediate area surrounding the parcels is also relatively undeveloped; however, approximately 30% percent of the SVSP area has already been developed.

The SVSP project site as described above is undeveloped but has been previously graded during construction 2 The SVSP Final EIR serves as the primary source of information from which this Addendum derives its analysis and conclusions, with reliance on the 2012 MND as necessary. The environmental impacts assessed in this document were considered in detail in the SVSP Final EIR and were addressed in numerous mitigation measures that apply to the proposed project. The SVSP FEIR, therefore, retains substantial relevancy and informational value to this action. (See Friends of College of San Mateo Gardens v. San Mateo County Community College Dist. (2016) 1 Cal.5th 937, 951).3 Although the older checklist could be used for this Addendum because of the date of publication of the original EIR, the updated checklist is used instead as part of a good-faith effort to provide the most up-to-date information to decisionmakers and the public (Public Resources Code Section 21002.1(e); CEQA Guidelines Sections 15002(a)(1), 15003(c)).

operations related to adjacent and nearby development. It is dominated by relatively flat topography supporting annual grasslands. There are no structures on the properties. No native oak trees or other trees are present on the subject parcels as the area has been rough graded in the past and maintained.
Proposed SVSP Project
The SVSP project would increase the density of Parcel WB-31 from 23.7 units per acre to 26.4 units per acre, as allowable under the GP, and increase its total planned high-density residential units by 30—from 263 to 293.
The SVSP project also would redesignate Parcel WB-41 from Community Commercial to Medium Density Residential through a GP amendment and rezone it from CC (Community Commercial) to RS/DS (Small Lot with Development Standards) and create a Small Lot Tentative Subdivision Map with 63 medium-density residential lots (see Attachment 1). The SVSP project includes an amendment to the SVSP to reflect these changes (see Attachment 2, Amended Sierra Vista Specific Plan). As stated in the introduction to this combined CEQA document, these new 93 residential units capture the 93-unit reduction that would result from the redesignation and rezone of the SV project site, described and analyzed in the MND portion of this combined document.
This action will require the following approvals and entitlements:
• Consideration of the Addendum together with the Final EIR for the SVSP (inclusive of the 2012 MND) • GP Amendment for SVSP Parcel WB-41 from Community Commercial to Medium Density Residential • Rezoning for SVSP Parcel WB-41 from CC to RS/DS
• Amendments to SVSP:
o Revise text regarding Parcel WB-31 to include the 30 reallocated units o Change Parcel WB-41 from Community Commercial to Medium Density Residential and revise the SVSP Land Use Map
o Revise text regarding Parcel WB-41 to include the zoning change and the 63 reallocated units o Delete Section B.12 of the SVSP
o Revise Sections 6.4 and 6.5 and associated figures
• Amendment to the Westbrook Development Agreement
• Small Lot Tentative Subdivision Map for SVSP Parcel WB-41 including 63 medium-density residential lots.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF ADDENDUM
Basis for Addendum
This Addendum has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. As explained earlier, an addendum is an appropriate subsequent review document EIR when some changes to a project are necessary, but those changes do not create new or increased significant environmental impacts that warrant major revisions to the previously certified Final EIR (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a), 15164(a); see Friends of College of San Mateo Gardens v. San Mateo County Community College Dist. (2016) 1 Cal.5th 937, 946; Save Our Heritage Organization v. City of San Diego (2018) 28 Cal.App.5th 656, 668). Also, an addendum is appropriate when circumstances surrounding a project have not substantially changed and when no new information of substantial importance has been uncovered that indicates the project would create new significant impacts or increase the severity of the previously identified significant impacts; see discussion immediately below (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a), 15164(a)).
Notably, in assessing whether a proposed project change is eligible for an addendum, public agencies may account for mitigation measures to which an applicant has agreed (see, e.g., River Valley Preservation Project v. Metropolitan Transit Development Bd. (1995) 37 Cal.App.4th 154, 168 [“even a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact does not require … the preparation of an SEIR if mitigation measures are adopted which reduce the impact to a level of insignificance”]; Citizens Against Airport Pollution v. City of San COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
Jose (2014) 227 Cal.App.4th 788, 809-811 [“[t]o offset the loss of four acres of burrowing owl habitat, the eight[h] addendum includes a number of mitigation measures”]; and Snarled Traffic Obstructs Progress v. City and County of San Francisco (1999) 74 Cal.App.4th 793, 802 [discusses mitigation required in connection with addendum]). The addition of new mitigation measures triggers the need for a subsequent EIR or a supplement to an EIR only in two circumstances. Under the first, measures “previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(1)(3)(C)). Under the second circumstance, measures “considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure” (id. at Section 15162(a)(1)(3)(D)). Under both circumstances, an applicant’s agreement to the mitigation measures in question preserves the project’s eligibility for an addendum. Where there are new or revised regulatory standards, new technology and modern data, and/or updated best practices, mitigation measures may be updated in an addendum from those approved in the certified Final EIR and approved mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) without triggering the need for a subsequent EIR (see, e.g., Mani Brothers Real Estate Group v. City of Los Angeles (2007) 153 Cal.App.4th 1385, 1403 [“[m]itigation measures adopted when a project is approved may be changed or deleted if the agency states a legitimate reason for making the changes and the reason is supported by substantial evidence”]; Napa Citizens for Honest Government v. Napa County Bd. of Supervisors (2001) 91 Cal.App.4th 342, 359).
Substantial evidence presented in this Addendum demonstrates that the SVSP project, described above and analyzed below, does not create any new significant impacts or increase the severity of previously identified significant impacts in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Nor are there any new circumstances or new information that would create such impacts or require more robust analysis (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)).
All of the impacts of the SVSP project were examined in the applicable prior CEQA documents. Therefore, an addendum is the appropriate CEQA document, and a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not warranted (CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e)).
Significant and Unavoidable Impact Conclusions in the Previous EIR The SVSP EIR identified the following impacts as significant and unavoidable at full buildout:
• Conversion of agricultural land to developed uses
• Inducement of substantial population growth
• Increased traffic on City of Roseville roadways
• Increased traffic on State Highways, including Interstate 80 • Increased traffic on Placer County roadways
• Increased emissions of fugitive dust and PM10 from grading and trenching activities (short term) • Increased emissions of ozone precursors during construction (short-term) • Increased emissions of air pollutants during operation • Loss of oak trees of greater than 6 inches diameter breast height (dbh) (short-term) • Removal of historically significant properties and/or loss of historic integrity of such resources • Increased demand for solid waste services at the Western Regional Sanitary Landfill • Increased demand for solid waste services at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) • Construction debris demand for solid waste services
• Alteration of the visual character of the site and vicinity • New sources of light and glare
The SVSP EIR also identified the following cumulative impacts as significant and unavoidable at full buildout:
• Agricultural land conversion
• Air pollutant emissions from construction
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
• Air pollutant emissions from operation
• Contribution to greenhouse gas emissions/global warming • Onsite noise levels that exceed City standards
• Offsite noise levels that exceed City standards
• Traffic impacts to Roseville, Placer County, Sacramento County, Sutter County and State facilities • Increased demand for water
• Increased demand for recycled water distribution system • Increased generation of solid waste
• Change in visual character
City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for these impacts when it certified the SVSP EIR.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS RELIED UPON
• Sierra Vista Specific Plan EIR, certified May 5, 2010 (SCH# 2008032115) The SVSP EIR was certified by City Council on May 5, 2010. The analysis within this Addendum relies mostly on the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the Westbrook Specific Plan Amendment to Sierra Vista Specific Plan MND, listed below), with minor supplements or technical updates where appropriate, and attached hereto. As demonstrated in the environmental checklist below, the project‘s impacts remain the same as or lesser than the impacts described in the SVSP EIR because the project presents the same uses and use types envisioned and analyzed for the entirety of the SVSP area. In the case of the change from a community commercial designation to a residential designation, the footprint-related impacts would be no different. The 2010 SVSP EIR is available for review at the Civic Center, 311 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA or online at https://www.roseville.ca.us/government/departments/development_services/planning/specific_plans_planning_ areas/sierra_vista_specific_plan.
• Westbrook Specific Plan Amendment to Sierra Vista Specific Plan MND, adopted June 15, 2012 (SCH# 2008032115)
The SVSP was amended in 2012 to redesignate and rezone the Urban Reserve (UR) area. As a result, this 2012 MND was prepared and adopted by City Council on June 15, 2012. The analysis within this Addendum relies mostly on the SVSP EIR but references this MND are included, where applicable. The MND is available for review at the Civic Center, 311 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA or online at https://www.roseville.ca.us/government/departments/development_services/planning/specific_plans_planning_ areas/sierra_vista_specific_plan.
• 2035 General Plan Update EIR, certified August 5, 2020 (SCH# 2019080418) The 2035 General Plan Update EIR (GP EIR) updated all Citywide analyses, including for vehicle miles traveled, greenhouse gas emissions, water supply, water treatment, wastewater treatment, and waste disposal. When applicable, the topical sections within the checklist summarize the findings within the GP EIR. The GP EIR is available for review at the Civic Center, 311 Vernon Street, Roseville, CA or online at https://www.roseville.ca.us/government/departments/development_services/planning/general_plan_developme nt_guidelines.
EXPLANATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
The purpose of this environmental checklist is to conduct subsequent environmental review for the proposed changes to the SVSP pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15162, 15163, and 15164. This checklist evaluates the environmental resources in terms of any “changed condition” (i.e., changed circumstances, project changes, COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
or new information of substantial importance) that may result in a changed environmental result. A “no” answer in one of the checklist boxes does not necessarily mean there are no potential impacts relative to the environmental category, but that there is no change in the condition or status of the impact since it was analyzed and addressed in prior environmental documents.
Checklist Evaluation Categories
Where Was Impact Analyzed in Prior EIR?
This column provides a cross-reference to the pages of the prior environmental documents where information and analysis may be found relative to the environmental issue listed under each topic.
Any New Significant Impacts or Substantially More Severe Impacts? Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether the changes represented by the current SVSP project will result in new significant impacts that have not already been considered and mitigated by the prior environmental review documents and related approvals or will result in a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact.
Any New Circumstances Resulting in New Significant Impacts or Substantially More Severe Impacts? Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether there have been changes to the SVSP project site or the vicinity (circumstances under which the SVSP project is undertaken) that have occurred subsequent to the certification of prior environmental documents, which would result in the current SVSP project having new significant environmental impacts that were not considered in the prior environmental documents or that substantially increase the severity of a previously identified impact.
Since certification of the previous EIR, there have been five amendments to the SVSP with five accompanying addenda to its EIR. Each amendment was found to be within the scope of the environmental impact conclusions presented in the SVSP EIR, and no mitigation measures required updating or revisions. Thus, although some circumstances have changed within the vicinity of the SVSP project site, those changes did not result in new significant environmental impacts that were not considered in the SVSP EIR. Nor did they substantially increase the severity of a previously identified impact. Further, no new projects or other development beyond those contemplated in the SVSP EIR or GP EIR have been approved or proposed within the vicinity of the SVSP project site that could impact or increase the project’s environmental effects. As a result, all boxes in this column in the checklist below are marked “No.”
Any New Information Requiring New Analysis or Verification? Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(3)(A–D) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous environmental documents were certified is available requiring an update to the analysis of the previous environmental documents to verify that the environmental conclusions and mitigation measures remain valid. Either “yes” or “no” will be answered to indicate whether there is new information showing that: (A) the SVSP project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the prior environmental documents; (B) that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the prior environmental documents; (C) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the SVSP project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) that mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the prior environmental documents would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the SVSP project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. If “no,” then no additional environmental documentation (supplemental or subsequent EIR) is required.
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
Since certification of the prior EIR, the Appendix G Checklist in the CEQA Guidelines has been updated, effective early 2019.3 This updated checklist material is not considered “new information” as defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3), as it does not constitute any change in governing law or any new facts showing the existence of new significant effects or substantially more severe significant effects. Moreover, as demonstrated below, none of the updates to the Appendix G Checklist require new analysis related to impacts that were not known or that could not have been known at the time the SVSP EIR was prepared. Nor is the City aware of any new information of substantial importance that shows that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found to be infeasible would actually now be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the SVSP project or that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed in the previously certified CEQA documents would substantially reduce one or more significant effects. Moreover, the City is not aware of any other new information not already included in this document that might bear relevance on the SVSP project’s CEQA analysis. As a result, all boxes in this column in the checklist below are marked “No.”
Any Mitigation Measures?
Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether the prior environmental documents provide mitigation measures (MMs) to address effects in the related impact category. In some cases, the MMs have already been implemented. A “Yes” response will be provided in any instance where mitigation was included, regardless of whether the mitigation has been completed at this time or whether it would apply to development on the SVSP project site. If “No” is indicated, this environmental analysis concludes a significant impact does not occur with this project, no mitigation was previously included, and no mitigation is needed.
Discussion of Checklist Answers
A discussion is provided under each environmental category in order to clarify the answers. The discussion provides information about the particular environmental issue and how the SVSP project relates to the issue.
The discussion also provides details on applicable mitigation measures from the prior EIR and their status, denoting the ones that require ongoing or future implementation and that would be required for development on the SVSP project site. Mitigation measures that are either not relevant to the SVSP project because they pertain to a different area or land use or have already been implemented are not discussed. Each discussion section also contains an ultimate conclusion, including whether the City can conclude that the SVSP project does not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the prior CEQA documents.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Aesthetic resources were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). All aesthetic impacts were identified as significant and unavoidable. There is no change in the SVSP project significant enough so as to alter the environmental impact conclusions for this issue. The proposed density and land use changes do not introduce development to properties not already planned for development. The proposed uses are substantially consistent with the buildout assumptions for the SVSP and would not increase the severity of already identified aesthetic significant impacts (see 2012 MND, p. 11). Indeed, impacts related to light and glare from the previously approved commercial development on Parel WB-41 onto adjacent open space (Impact 4.14- 2) would be reduced by its conversion to residential use.
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
The SVSP project has been evaluated for compliance with the City’s Community Design Guidelines (CDG) and the design guidelines established in the SVSP. As they relate to aesthetics, these standards ensure the highquality design and architectural character of any buildings developed as well as minimum landscaping standards.
As it relates to light and glare, mitigation would ensure that outdoor lighting would not significantly impact the adjacent open space area to the north. Also, lighting is conditioned to comply with the CDG to limit the height of light standards and also require cut-off lenses and glare shields to minimize light and glare impacts. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: None.
Conclusion: As described above, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding aesthetic resources.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Agricultural resources were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND); there are no forest resources within the SVSP area. There is no element of the SVSP project that would change the environmental impact for this section—the SVSP project site will still be fully developed. The SVSP EIR concluded that development of the SVSP area would convert fallow grazing land to urbanized development. The SVSP project will result in the same impact, as it falls within the planned development footprint of the SVSP. The SVSP project site is not used for agricultural purposes, does not include agricultural zoning, is not within or adjacent to one of the areas of the City that has been designated as a protected farmland category on the Placer County Important Farmland map, is not within or adjacent to land within a Williamson Act Contract, and is not considered forest land. Although in the past, portions on or near the SVSP project site were classified as “Farmland of Local Importance,” that classification changed once the site was redesignated and rezoned in 2012 (see 2012 MND, p. 12). Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MM is applicable to the SVSP project regarding agriculture and forestry resources.
• SVSP EIR MM 4.1-2. Agricultural Conversion Policies
Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measure, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding agricultural and forestry resources.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Air quality was adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). For construction, the SVSP EIR concluded that standard dust control and other construction measures would be sufficient to avoid particulate matter and ozone precursor construction impacts, but that reactive organic gases would remain significant.
However, all construction-related impacts could be mitigated to less than significant levels (see 2012 MND, p. 15). Construction activity associated with the SVSP project remain consistent with the scale of activity and resulting scope of impacts analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). For operation, the SVSP project changes the balance of land uses in the area from the approved changes made in 2012, but not in a manner that would increase emissions. Indeed, the proposed redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would substantially reduce the anticipated traffic trips generated by the development, as well as reduce projected vehicle miles travelled (VMT) (see XVII. Transportation/Traffic), which would in turn reduce operational air emissions for the SVSP area related to vehicle use. Any incremental increases in traffic or VMT associated with the increased density of Parcel WB-31 would be more than offset by the substantial reductions on WB-41. Furthermore, any impacts associated with odor would be reduced with the decrease in commercial development because commercial development has the potential to produce some objectionable odors whereas residential development rarely does (see GP EIR, p. 4.4-50). Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Biological Resources were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Mitigation measures were adopted to reduce impacts to wetlands, vernal pool species, Swainson’s hawk, burrowing owl, and other protected raptors nesting and foraging habitat to less-than-significant levels. No wetlands or water features exist on the SVSP project site, although some exist on parcels near the site (see 2012 MND, p. 19).
Further, the site is devoid of trees or other natural features. It is primarily populated by non-native annual grasses, and the ground has undergone significance disturbance, likely as a result of nearby roadway and parcel development. However, the site does retain some potential to host special-status species. There are no differences between the SVSP project and the approved SVSP that are significant enough to change the environmental impact conclusions for this section. The SVSP project site was already planned for full development, and that will not change (see 2012 MND, p. 19). Further, the subject property, as part of a larger development area, has received a Biological Opinion from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as Section 401 certification from the State. Moreover, the Applicant has purchased the required compensatory mitigation. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MMs are applicable to the SVSP project regarding biological resources impacts.
• SVSP EIR MM 4.8-3. Avoid Nesting Sites
• SVSP EIR MM 4.8-4. Onsite and Offsite Grassland Preservation • SVSP EIR MM 4.8‐5. Wildlife Movement Protection Policies • SVSP EIR MM 4.8‐7. Offsite Surveys
• SVSP EIR MM 4.14-3. Avoid Light Spillover in Open Space Areas Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding biological resources.

Cultural resources were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR found that no known cultural resources exist on the SVSP project site (see also 2012 MND, p. 22). The SVSP then discussed the potential for subsurface remains or deposits to be found during onsite or offsite construction, and included mitigation measures requiring a cessation of work should any item of cultural interest be found.
The mitigation was found to render potential impacts less than significant. The SVSP project would result in the same impact, and the mitigation remains applicable to the SVSP project. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MM is applicable to the SVSP project regarding cultural resources impacts. • SVSP EIR MM 4.9-1.

Same No No No No
Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Energy was adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Electricity in the area is provided by Roseville Electric and natural gas is provided by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). The SVSP EIR concluded that development and implementation of the SVSP would add land uses that would increase the demand for electrical services. However, Roseville Electric determined there were no constraints to providing a reliable energy source to serve the development proposed in the SVSP area. Impacts 4.12-5.1 and 4.12-5-2 in the SVSP EIR evaluated the potential for development of the SVSP to increase demands for electricity and natural gas and found these impacts to be less than significant.
The SVSP project would consume energy both during construction and operation, but consumption would be within the scope originally considered in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND) because both parcels are planned for full development and will remain planned for full development. During construction, fossil fuels, electricity, and natural gas would be used by construction vehicles and equipment. However, the energy consumed during construction would be temporary, and would not represent a significant demand on available resources. There are no unusual project characteristics that would necessitate the use of construction equipment or methods that would be less energy efficient or which would be wasteful. The completed SVSP project would consume energy related to building operation, exterior lighting, landscape irrigation and maintenance, and vehicle trips to and from the use. In accordance with California Energy Code Title 24, the SVSP project would be required to meet the Building Energy Efficiency Standards. These include, to name a few, standards for water and space heating and cooling equipment; insulation for doors, pipes, walls, and ceilings; and appliances. The SVSP project would also be eligible for rebates and other financial incentives from both the electric and gas providers for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances and systems, which would further reduce the operational energy demand of the SVSP project.
The SVSP was distributed to both PG&E and Roseville Electric for comments prior to its publication, and was found to conform to the standards of both providers; thus, energy supplies are available to serve the SVSP project. The SVSP project will not result in inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary consumption of energy. Nor COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

would it conflict with or obstruct State or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency, especially in consideration of efficiency requirements in SVSP EIR MM 4.5-2 (discussed below). Moreover, the substantial reduction in operational traffic trips from the redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would in turn reduce the localized consumption of fossil fuels, which is the “largest energy consuming sector in California” (GP EIR, p. 4.15-12; see XVI. Transportation/Traffic for more detail).Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: No MMs are applicable to the SVSP project regarding impacts to energy resources because no significant impacts exist; however, the following MM is included as a means to further reduce energy usage.
• SVSP EIR MM 4.5-2. Additional Measures to Reduce GHG Emissions (Provisions relating to Energy and Water Efficiency)
Conclusion: As described above, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Additionally, implementation of SVSP EIR MM 4.5.2, Additional Measures to Reduce GHG Emissions (Provisions relating to Energy and Water Efficiency), would further reduce energy usage by the SVSP project. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding energy.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Geology and soils were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR concluded that there would be no impacts to or around the SVSP project site associated with seismic activity, landslides, or soils, and no impact related to septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems, as neither are planned for the SVSP area (see 2012 MND, p. 24). The SVSP did find a potential impact related to the discovery of subsurface paleontological resources during onsite or offsite construction, and included a mitigation measure requiring a cessation of work and review should any such item be found. The mitigation was found to render potential impacts less than significant. These same conclusions would apply to the SVSP project, especially given that they are site-specific and not specific to any particular land use. Further, site development would require a grading permit that would be reviewed for compliance with the City standards to ensure erosion control measures were implemented (see 2012 MND, pp. 23 to 24). Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
The SVSP EIR concluded that buildout of the SVSP project area would cause significant and unavoidable impacts with respect to GHG emissions. Mitigation measures were adopted to reduce the SVSP project’s GHG emissions and resultant impacts, but they still remain significant and unavoidable (see 2012 MND, p. 17).
Construction activity associated with the SVSP project remains consistent with the scale of activity and resulting scope of impacts anticipated in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). For operational impacts, while the SVSP project proposes changes to the balance of land uses in the area from the approved changes made in 2012, it does not do so in a manner that would increase emissions. Indeed, the proposed redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would substantially reduce the anticipated traffic trips generated by the development, even including the additional density proposed for Infill Planning Parcel WB-31, as well as reduce projected vehicle miles travelled (VMT) (see XVII. Transportation/Traffic), which would in turn substantially reduce GHG emissions for the SVSP project site related to vehicle use (mobile emissions are the number one source of GHG emissions [see GP EIR, p. 4.5-20]). GHG emissions, from both the construction and operational phases, would result in impacts consistent with or lesser than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).

The SVSP EIR concluded that all potentially significant impacts resulting from hazards or hazardous materials associated with the SVSP could be mitigated to less-than-significant levels. The same standard construction activities, which involve the use of hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, lubricants, glues, paints and paint thinners, soaps, bleach, and solvents, that were analyzed in the SVSP apply to the SVSP project. The same is true of the use of the same common household materials that were discussed as part of SVSP operation. Further, the SVSP project site is not located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. The SVSP EIR analysis also found that there would be sufficient emergency services and facilities to serve the SVSP project area, and that the area was not located within an airport land use plan or other aviation hazard area. These conclusions still fit for the SVSP project, which occurs within the same development footprint.
Regulations pertaining to the transport of materials are codified in 49 Code of Federal Regulations 171–180, and transport regulations are enforced and monitored by the California Department of Transportation and by the California Highway Patrol. Specifications for storage on a construction site are contained in various regulations and codes, including the California Code of Regulations, the Uniform Fire Code, and the California Health and Safety Code. These same codes require that all hazardous materials be used and stored in the manner specified on the material packaging. Existing regulations and programs are sufficient to ensure that potential impacts as a result of the use or storage of hazardous materials are reduced to less than significant levels. Moreover, the SVSP project site is not near any wildlands; therefore, risks associates with wildland fires are not applicable (see Section XX. Wildfire). The SVSP project site is located in an area that has been used for agricultural purposes, which could have involved the use of pesticides and/or herbicides, but mitigation ensures any impacts resulting from these prior uses would remain less than significant (see 2012 MND, p. 25). The proposed uses are COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

substantially consistent with SVSP buildout assumptions. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MM is applicable to the SVSP project regarding hazards and hazardous materials.
• SVSP EIR MM 4.10-1. Identify and Remediate Soil Contamination Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measure, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding hazards and hazardous material.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Hydrology and water quality were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR concluded that all potentially significant impacts to hydrology and water quality associated with the SVSP could be mitigated to less-than-significant levels. A Drainage and Stormwater Master Plan was prepared and approved by the City as part of the SVSP EIR. As noted in the EIR, the Plan demonstrated that the increases in impervious surfaces being caused by buildout of the SVSP would be offset by proposed drainage facilities and stormwater improvements. Further, no development would occur within the 100-year floodplain area, and consistency with existing City regulations would ensure that all homes would be elevated at least two feet above the 100-year water surface elevation. With regard to stormwater quality, the SVSP EIR noted that there are existing programs, regulations, and permits in place to ensure that all development would not have significant effects related to water pollution from construction or operation, though a mitigation measure is included to require compliance with these regulations. The SVSP project would be subject to all adopted City standards and programs as well as applicable state standards that require the preparation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior to grading activities (see 2012 MND, p. 28). The SVSP area is largely flat and is not near any large water bodies or dams/levees, so would not be subject to losses due to dam/levee failure, seiche, tsunami, or mudflow. The SVSP project falls within the development footprint of the SVSP, and, although some infrastructure modifications will need to be made to accommodate the change in land use on Parcel WB-41, the drainage modifications would not result in any changes to the scope or scale of impacts. Stormwater quality evaluations conducted for the SVSP project site support this assessment (see the Drainage and Stormwater Master Plan for Westbrook prepared for the 2010 Westbrook Specific Plan Amendment to the Sierra Vista Specific Plan (File #2011PL-043) and the Stormwater Quality Management Plan prepared for the Sierra Vista Specific Plan; see also Attachment 3, Preliminary Stormwater Quality Evaluation for Parcel WB-41 (July 16, 2021) by MacKay & Somps and Sierra Vista Specific Plan Master Drainage Plan for the Stormwater Quality Management Plan (February 20, 2018) by Civil Engineering Solutions, Inc.). Also note that the West Placer Groundwater Sustainability Agency, which is the governing groundwater sustainability agency for the region, has not yet finalized and adopted a sustainable groundwater management plan; therefore, there can be no conflict with such a sustainable groundwater management plan, pursuant to checklist item e. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Land use and planning were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR concluded that there were some potential land use incompatibilities, but that these could be addressed by a mix of mitigation and compliance with the City Noise Ordinance and Grading Ordinance. Land use issues discussed and addressed included noise from McClellan overflights, agricultural uses in Placer County next to urban uses in the SVSP, construction noise, and commercial land use noise. The overflight noise is a potential nuisance discussion requiring disclosure to future purchasers within the SVSP project site area; however, SVSP is outside an airport land use compatibility planning area for any nearby airport. and noise impacts from aircraft overflights to a project and its future residents outside an airport land use compatibility planning area is not a CEQA issue (see GP EIR, p. 4.6-47; see also 2012 MND, p. 33). Nevertheless, noise volumes do not exceed standards. It was concluded that the SVSP would not physically divide an established community and that it did not conflict with any land use policies or regulations. The EIR concluded that all impacts of the SVSP related to land use and planning could be reduced to less-than-significant levels with mitigation.
COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
The SVSP project involves the same use types within the same development footprint, and therefore the conclusions of SVSP EIR remain applicable to the SVSP project. The SVSP project site area has been planned for development, including adequate roads, pedestrian paths, and bicycle paths to provide connections within the community (see SVSP, Chapter 6 [Circulation Plan];4 see also GP Circulation Element5 ). The SVSP project
involves frontage improvements including new driveways, sidewalks, and pedestrian connections. As such, the SVSP project will not physically divide an established community. Indeed, the conversation of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential better aligns with the approved surrounding uses, which are primarily residential.
Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MM is applicable to the SVSP project regarding impacts associated with land use; other mitigation in the SVSP required for land use impacts applies to future commercial development only and is therefore not applicable to the SVSP project.
• SVSP EIR WMM 4.1-2. Policies to Minimize Agricultural Impacts • SVSP EIR MM 4.6-1. Construction Noise Reduction
Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measure, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding land use and planning.

Noise was adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR addressed construction noise, roadway noise, noise from non-residential land uses, and aircraft overflight noise. Overflight COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

noise has been addressed in the Land Use and Planning section of this Addendum. Construction noise in general was discussed, and addressed via mitigation. Noise was determined to be an issue for all of the major roadways in the SVSP area. Mitigation was found to reduce noise volumes to levels within GP standards for some impacts, and so these impacts were found to be less than significant. However, construction noise and the increase in traffic noise above existing conditions were found to be significant and unavoidable. Project construction and operation should not exceed noise levels anticipated in the SVSP to such a degree that impact conclusions reached in the SVSP EIR would change (see 2012 MND, p. 32). Indeed, with the reduction in traffic associated with WB-41, traffic-related noise should be substantially less than anticipated in the SVSP EIR (see XVII.
Transportation/Traffic).
An environmental noise assessment was prepared by Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc. for the SVSP project to evaluate noise levels associated with traffic on the adjacent roadways (see Attachment 5, Noise Assessment for Parcel WB-41 (August 25, 2021) by Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc.). In this assessment, it was concluded that implementation of SVSP EIR mitigation measures would reduce noise volumes to levels within GP standards for the SVSP project. The SVSP project would be designed consistent with the mitigation measures to include six-foot masonry sound walls adjacent to the lots located along major roadways, among other measures, to ensure noise volumes stay within the GP thresholds. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MMs are applicable to the SVSP project regarding noise impacts. • SVSP EIR WMM 4.5-2. Construction Noise Policies
• SVSP EIR WMM 4.5-8. Onsite Traffic Noise Attenuation (see Attachment 4) • SVSP EIR MM 4.6-1. Construction Noise Reduction
Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding noise.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Population and housing were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR indicated that the plan would increase the number of housing units above those that had been anticipated in the then-current General Plan, and analyzed the effect on supporting services, infrastructure, and other issues related to environmental impacts. It was concluded that impacts would be significant and unavoidable. The SVSP project further increases number of housing units within the plan area, but not within the overall GP area as the SVSP project is a reallocation of approved units from another site within the City (SV and SVSP Redesignation and Rezoning Project). Notwithstanding, the impact conclusion in the SVSP EIR would not change—it is significant and unavoidable under the currently approved SVSP and will remain significant and unavoidable with the change proposed in this Addendum. The SVSP EIR also indicated that the plan would displace a small number of residences over a 20-year time frame, and therefore the impact would be less than significant.
However, the SVSP project site contains zero residences, and therefore its development per the SVSP project would have an even lesser impact in this regard (see 2012 MND, p. 34). Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: None
Conclusion: As described above, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding population and housing.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Public Services were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR concluded that the SVSP would have a less-than-significant impact to fire and police protection services, parks, and other public services, such as libraries, without mitigation and a less-than-significant impacts to schools with mitigation. For fire protection services, existing City codes and regulations require adequate water pressure in the water lines, and construction must comply with the Uniform Fire and Building Codes used by the City of Roseville. The site developer or Applicant is required to pay a fire service construction fee, which is used for purchasing capital facilities for the City Fire Department. Further, a new fire station is approved for construction within the SVSP and Fire Station #9 exists in the West Plan area (see 2012 MND, p. 35). For police protection services, sales taxes and property taxes resulting from development will add revenue to the General Fund, which provides funding for police services. Properties in the SVSP also pay into Community Facilities District No. 3 that provides services for fire and police. For parks, the developer will be required to pay fees into a Community Facilities District No. 2, which provides funding for park services. As well, future park and recreation sites and facilities have already been identified and approved as part of SVSP. For other public facilities, the SVSP area would be adequately served by existing libraries, and the City charges fees for end-users for other services, such as garbage and greenwaste collection, in order to fund those services.
None of the impacts to these services or facilities would change as a result of the SVSP project. The newly proposed residential units would be required to adhere to all existing codes, regulations and funding agreements to ensure impacts remain less than significant. Indeed, some impacts may decrease. For example, a decrease in commercial land uses may lead to a decrease in the need for police services as more law enforcement assistance is normally required at commercial properties versus residential.
For schools, the SVSP EIR concluded that three new elementary schools and one new intermediate school would be required in the plan area. The high school students generated from the SVSP were assumed in the nearby high schools located outside the SVSP. A portion of the SVSP is located within the Center Joint Unified School District and a portion is located within the Roseville City School District, although the current SVSP project site is entirely within the Center Joint Unified School District. The SVSP project involves an increase in residential units within the SVSP and, therefore, a potential slight increase in students. The SVSP project is estimated to generate an additional 24 students in grades K-6, 11 students in grades 7- 8, and 18 students in grades 9-12; thus 53 students more than assumed in 2012 (see SVSP, Section 7.3, p. 7-22). The project developer and the Center Joint Unified School District entered into the Landowner Development Agreement setting forth the mitigation fees to be paid by the SVSP project to provide full mitigation of the SVSP project’s impacts to school facilities. Under state law, such payments are deemed to constitute “full and complete mitigation” of impacts to school facilities (Government Code Section 65995(h)); therefore, the increase in students associated with the SVSP project does not translate into a more severe environmental impact than what was anticipated in the SVSP EIR. In addition, the developer or Applicant is required to work with the School District to identify a Safe Routes to School program. Existing codes, regulations, funding agreements, and facilities plans are sufficient to ensure impacts continue to be less than significant. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Recreation was adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP indicates that the required parkland dedication was met by dedication of parkland throughout the plan area and through payment of park dedication in-lieu fees. As noted in the SVSP EIR, the payment of Citywide and neighborhood park fees will be required, and the payment of fees combined with the dedication of parkland will ensure that impacts to park services are less than significant. The SVSP project will increase total number of residential units anticipated for buildout of the SVSP area, but full buildout of this former UR area includes the construction of
15.5 acres of neighborhood parks and 36 acres of open space that will be used by the future residents on the SVSP project site (see 2012 MND, p. 37). The impact to parks was considered less than significant in the SVSP EIR and 2012 MND, and it will remain less than significant after the change proposed with the SVSP project because any increased usage of planned neighborhood parks would be incremental. The construction of these parks within the SVSP are analyzed as part of the overall plan throughout the SVSP EIR and assigned mitigation COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

measures as necessary. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: See other sections for MMs that would apply to park construction, such as MMs for biological and cultural resource impacts, etc.
Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding recreation.

The SVSP EIR evaluated the traffic impacts to existing and future roadways from traffic being generated by the anticipated uses within the plan area. The EIR concluded that, with mitigation, impacts to City roadways would be less than significant. Impacts to several adjacent agency roadways were identified as a significant and unavoidable, and mitigation to lessen the impact was presented. Specific mitigation measures were assigned to the SVSP project COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM

site and its surroundings in the 2012 MND, which reflected the potential impacts that might occur from traffic increases resulting from full buildout of the UR area (see 2012 MND, pp. 40 to 46). That mitigation would apply to the current SVSP project and is listed below. However, as explained below, the current SVSP project would produce less traffic that the project that was approved in 2010 and contemplated in the 2012 MND.
A transportation evaluation memorandum was prepared for the SVSP project by Fehr & Peers (see Attachment 5). Fehr & Peers concluded that the change in land use designation and zoning on Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would “generate fewer site trips, fewer trips entering/exiting the SVSP area, and less VMT.”6 Therefore, even with incremental increases in traffic trips associated with the increased density of Parcel WB-31, the SVSP project still would result in fewer trips, this lesser impacts to traffic and transportation systems, than those described in the SVSP EIR.
The SVSP project does not introduce any hazards resulting from circulation design, as it does not introduce hazards such as sharp curves or dangerous intersections. Nor does it present substantial safety risks associated with emergency access. The SVSP project has been reviewed by the City Engineering Division and City Fire Department staff, and has been found to be consistent with the City’s Design Standards. Furthermore, standard conditions of approval added to all City projects require compliance with Fire Codes and other design standards.
Compliance with existing regulations ensure that traffic safety-related impacts are less than significant. Thus, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent FEIR have occurred” relative to transportation/traffic.
Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MMs are applicable to the SVSP project regarding transportation and traffic impacts.
• SVSP EIR MM 4.3-1. Roseville Intersections: Pay Fair Share of Improvements in the CIP including Improvements to Intersections
• SVSP EIR MM 4.3-6. State Facilities Segments: Pay Fair Share Costs • SVSP EIR MM 4.3-7. Sutter County Facilities: Pay Fair Share Costs Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding transportation and traffic. 6 Note that VMT is included here for informational purposes only. An analysis of VMT is not required for this CEQA document because such analysis was not included in the underlying 2010 Final EIR upon which this Addendum is based was prepared. The provisions of CEQA that require VMT analysis, such as CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, were not in full effect until July 1, 2020, and only apply to documents released to the public after that date (see CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3(c) [stating that its VMT provisions applied only prospectively, as provided in CEQA Guidelines Section 15007, which provides, among other things, that “[n]ew requirements in amendments will apply to steps in the CEQA process not yet undertaken by the date when agencies must comply with the amendments,” and that “[i]f a document meets the content requirements in effect when the document is sent out for public review, the document shall not need to be revised to conform to any new content requirements”]). Here, the Final EIR for the SVSP, on which this Addendum relies, was prepared in 2010, more than a decade before the VMT requirement took effect (see also Citizens for Positive Growth & Preservation v. City of Sacramento (2019) 43 Cal.App.5th 609, 625-626 [court refuses to address legal challenge to EIR based on a failure to include VMT analysis because the EIR at issue was prepared prior to July 2020]).
Moreover, the circumstances and evidence surrounding this project do not necessitate a VMT analysis. As stated by Fehr & Peers, the project would result in a dramatic decrease in traffic trips below what was considered in the SVSP EIR.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Tribal cultural resources were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR found that no known cultural resources exist on the SVSP project site, inclusive of tribal cultural resources (see V. Cultural Resources). The SVSP then discussed the potential for subsurface resources to be found during construction, and included mitigation requiring a cessation of work should any item of cultural interest, inclusive of tribal interests, be found. The mitigation was found to render potential impacts less than significant. The SVSP project would result in the same impact, and the mitigation remains applicable to the SVSP project. Moreover, notice of the SVSP project was mailed to tribes that had requested such notice pursuant to S.B. 18 for early consultation for the amendment of general plans, and in consideration of A.B. 52 (see Attachment 6 for Tribal Consultation Letters). On September 8, 2021, the City received a response from a culturally affiliated tribe—the COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
United Auburn Indian Community (UAIC). The UAIC’s Tribal Historic Preservation Department requested consultation and the inclusion of a mitigation measure for unanticipated discoveries. The City proceeded to consult with this Tribe and developed updated mitigation language that reflects new tribal preferences and best practices associated with the inadvertent discovery of tribal cultural resources. Although no resources are known to occur on the site, mitigation for unanticipated discoveries will ensure proper treatment should a resource be discovered. SVSP EIR MM 4.9-1, listed below, has been updated to reflect these tribal preferences and best practices associated with the inadvertent discovery of tribal cultural resources. The City did not receive additional responses from other tribes regarding the SVSP project site. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MMs are applicable to the SVSP project regarding cultural resources impacts. • SVSP EIR MM 4.9-1. Cease Work and Consult with Qualified Archaeologist UPDATED TEXT:
Post-Review Discovery Procedures. If subsurface deposits believed to be cultural or human in origin, or tribal cultural resources, are discovered during construction, all work shall halt within a 100-foot radius of the discovery, and the Construction Manager shall immediately notify the City of Roseville Development Services Director by phone. The Construction Manager shall also immediately coordinate with the monitoring archeologist or project archaeologist and tribal monitor(if present), or, in the absence of either, contact consulting tribes and a qualified professional archaeologist, meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology and subject to approval by the City, to evaluate the significance of the find and develop appropriate management recommendations, in coordination with the consulting tribe(s) if the find is a tribal cultural resource.
All management recommendations shall be provided to the City in writing for the City’s review and approval. If recommended by the qualified professional archeologist, and consulting tribe(s), and approved by the City, this may include modification of the no-work radius.
The professional archaeologist must make a determination, based on professional judgement and supported by substantial evidence, within one business day of being notified, as to whether or not the find represents a cultural or tribal cultural resource or has the potential to be a cultural or tribal cultural resource. The consulting tribe shall also be given the opportunity to provide, within one business day of being notified, a determination as to whether or not the find represents a tribal cultural resource or has the potential to be a tribal cultural resource. The subsequent actions will be determined by the type of discovery, as described below. These include: 1) a work pause that, upon further investigation, is not actually a discovery and the work pause was simply needed in order to allow for closer examination of soil (a “false alarm”); 2) a work pause and subsequent action for discoveries that are clearly not related to tribal resources, such as can and bottle dumps, artifacts of European origin, and remnants of built environment features; and 3) a work pause and subsequent action for discoveries that are likely related to tribal resources, such as midden soil, bedrock mortars, groundstone, or other similar expressions.
Whenever there is question as to whether or not the discovery represents a tribal resource, culturally affiliated tribes shall be consulted in making the determination. Whenever a tribal monitor is present, the monitor shall be consulted.
The following processes shall apply, depending on the nature of the find, subject to the review and approval of the City:
• Response to False Alarms: If the professional archaeologist determine that the find is negative for any cultural indicators and tribal representatives have not indicated the find is a tribal cultural resource, then work may resume immediately upon notice to proceed from the City’s representative.. No further notifications or archaeological consultation is necessary if it is determined that the discovery is not a cultural or tribal cultural resource of any kind. The professional archaeologist shall provide written COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
documentation of this finding to the City, which shall include as an attachment any written documentation provided by tribal representatives or monitors.
• Response to Non-Tribal Discoveries: If a tribal monitor is not present at the time of discovery and a professional archaeologist determines that the find represents a non-tribal cultural resource from any time period or cultural affiliation, the City shall be notified immediately, to consult on a finding of eligibility and implementation of appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. The professional archaeologist shall provide a photograph of the find and a written description to the City of Roseville. The City of Roseville will notify any [tribe(s)] who, in writing, requested notice of unanticipated discovery of non-tribal resources. Notice shall include the photograph and description of the find, and a tribal representative shall have the opportunity to determine whether or not the find represents a tribal cultural resource. If a response is not received within 24 hours of notification (none of which time period may fall on weekends or City holidays), the City will deem this portion of the measure completed in good faith as long as the notification was made and documented. If requested by a [tribe(s)], the City may extend this timeframe, which shall be documented in writing (electronic communication may be used to satisfy this measure). If a notified tribe responds within 24 hours to indicate that the find represents a tribal cultural resource, then the Response to Tribal Discoveries portion of this measure applies. If the tribe does not respond or concurs that the discovery is non-tribal, work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; or 2) that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction.
• Response to Tribal Discoveries: If the find represents a tribal or potentially tribal cultural resource that does not include human remains, the consulting tribe(s) and City shall be notified. The City will consult with the tribe(s) on a finding of eligibility and implement appropriate treatment measures, if the find is determined to be either a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines, or a Tribal Cultural Resource, as defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code.
Preservation in place is the preferred treatment, if feasible. Work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the site either: 1) is not a Historical Resource under CEQA, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines; or 2) not a Tribal Cultural Resource, as defined in Section 21074 of the Public Resources Code; or 3) that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction. • Response to Human Remains: If the find includes human remains, or remains that are potentially human, the construction supervisor or on-site archaeologist and (if present) tribal monitor shall ensure reasonable protection measures are taken to protect the discovery from disturbance (AB 2641) and shall notify the City and Placer County Coroner (per § 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code). The provisions of § 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, § 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code, and Assembly Bill 2641 shall be implemented. If the Coroner determines the remains are Native American and not the result of a crime scene, the Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which then will designate a Native American Most Likely Descendant (MLD) for the project (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). The designated MLD will have 48 hours from the time access to the property is granted to make recommendations concerning treatment of the remains. Public Resources Code § 5097.94 provides structure for mediation through the NAHC if necessary. If the COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: ADDENDUM
November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
landowner does not agree with the recommendations of the MLD, the NAHC can mediate (§ 5097.94 of the Public Resources Code).
If no agreement is reached, the landowner must rebury the remains in a respectful manner where they will not be further disturbed (§ 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code). This will also include either recording the site with the NAHC or the appropriate Information Center; using an open space or conservation zoning designation or easement; or recording a reinternment document with the county in which the property is located (AB 2641). Work shall not resume within the no-work radius until the City, through consultation as appropriate, determines that the treatment measures have been completed to its satisfaction.
Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding tribal cultural resources.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
Utilities and services systems were adequately addressed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). The SVSP EIR concluded that most potentially significant impacts to utilities and services systems associated with the SVSP could be mitigated to less-than-significant levels. However, impacts associated with increased use of the landfill and its eventual expansion would remain significant and unavoidable even after mitigation because this expansion is outside the City’s jurisdiction (2012 MND, p. 51). The SVSP EIR indicated that the Western Placer Waste Management Authority facilities would be used to dispose of solid waste, and that there was insufficient capacity to accept solid waste from the SVSP at full buildout. Solid waste generation is based on population, and the SVSP project would increase the estimated population for the plan area with the increase in residential units. However, the impact conclusion would not change—it is significant and unavoidable and will remain as such. Furthermore, the amount increase of solid waste would not be substantially more severe, but rather an incremental increase and would not increase the City population overall. Notwithstanding, since the time the SVSP EIR was adopted, the Western Placer Waste Management Authority’s Western Regional Sanitary Landfill has expanded and currently has a remaining capacity of 29.1 million cubic yards and a projected closure date of 2058, whereas during preparation of the SVSP EIR, it had a remaining capacity of approximately 25.4 million cubic yards and a closure date of 2041 (SVSP EIR, p. 4.12.4-12). Therefore, this impact would be lesser under the SVSP project than was concluded under the SVSP.
The SVSP EIR addressed water demand for the plan area and determined there was adequate supply to meet the anticipated water demands from full buildout, excluding ultimate buildout of the UR area. Upon the redesignation/rezoning of the UR area, it was determined that existing City water supplies would need to be augmented and that the additional water would come from the City’s current water entitlements for corporate business centers because no such centers were planned (see 2012 MND, p. 49). This arrangement left a remainder 46 acre feet of unused water supply for future use. Water use calculations have been updated for the SVSP project based on the proposed land use changes for the SVSP and in conjunction with the proposed land use changes for the SV project, and it is anticipated that the projected overall waters usage in the City will decrease by approximately 2.0 acre feet per year from the usage calculated for the previously approved land uses (see Attachment 7, Water and Sewer Demands (October 15, 2021) by MacKay & Somps). Furthermore, given the myriad of water conservation legislation that has been passed since 2012, which requires significant progressive reductions in personal water use over a series of years, 7 the SVSP project likely would use less
water than currently anticipated. The City’s Environmental Utilities Department staff reviewed the SVSP project and concluded that water uses by the SVSP project would fall below the water supply that is available for City use. Therefore, impact conclusions related to water supply remain the same. 7 For example, A.B. 1660 (2018) and S.B. 606 (2018) caps indoor residential water use and requires water efficient controls on residential landscaping irrigation.

November 5, 2021
SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
Development of the SVSP project area will require the construction of water lines and sewer lines and facilities, but these were previously identified through the infrastructure master plans developed for the SVSP (see 2012 MND, p. 50). The SVSP project site land use changes in 2012 required that the SVSP project at that time be required to fund its fair share payment toward construction of a new recycled water storage tank and an upgrade to the existing WRSP recycled water pump station, but no other major changes to infrastructural facilities was expected (see 2012 MND, p. 51). Additionally, based on the proposed land use changes for the SVSP project, and when considered in conjunction with the proposed land use changes for the SV project, it is anticipated that projected overall wastewater generation in the City will decrease by approximately 0.07 million gallons per day from what was assumed and previously analyzed in the SVSP EIR and 2012 MND (see Attachment 7). The SVSP EIR concluded that the Pleasant Grove Wastewater Treatment Plan was sized to accommodate flow from the plan area and that impacts would be less than significant. This conclusion remains applicable to the SVSP project (see 2012 MND, p. 51). The City’s Environmental Utilities Department staff reviewed the SVSP project and determined that project changes fell within the scope of prior assessment in regard to these infrastructure facilities. Thus, the impacts of the SVSP project fall within the scope of the impacts and mitigation already established in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: The following MMs are applicable to the SVSP project regarding impacts associated with utilities and service systems.
• SVSP EIR MM 4.11-5. Treatment Plant Capacity
• SVSP EIR WMM 4.11-7. Expand the WRSL Landfill (occurred) • SVSP EIR WMM 4.11-11. Divert Construction Debris
Conclusion: As described above and with implementation of the applicable mitigation measures, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” regarding utilities and service systems.

Discussion of Checklist Answers:
With implementation of the City’s Mitigating Ordinances, Guidelines, and Standards and best management practices, mitigation measures described in the SVSP and listed in this document, and permit conditions, the SVSP project will not exceed the scope of any impact contemplated SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND) that is associated with habitat, species, historic/prehistoric resources, or adverse effects on human beings.
Furthermore, cumulative impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those contemplated in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND) because no SVSP project-related individual impact exceeds the scope of that same impact in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).
Mitigation Measures: See above checklist sections for applicable mitigation measures.
Conclusion: With the implementation of the applicable mitigation measures listed in this Addendum checklist, the SVSP project would not result in a new significant impact or significant impacts that are substantially more severe than those analyzed in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND). Therefore, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, subdivision (a), the City finds that “none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred” relative to the mandatory findings of significance.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Based on analysis conducted in this Addendum, the previously certified EIR, and the 2012 MND, it is determined that implementation of SVSP project modifications, as described herein, would not result in any new or substantially more severe environmental impacts, either directly or as a result of new circumstances or information. The City may take the following actions in compliance with CEQA:

SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; File # PL21-0161
• Certify the Addendum
• Adopt the SVSP amendment
• Approve the General Plan and specific plan amendments and rezone In reviewing the site specific information provided for the SVSP project and acting as Lead Agency, the City of Roseville, Development Services Department, Planning Division has analyzed the potential environmental impacts created by this project and determined that the findings of CEQA Section 15162 concerning the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR and the findings of CEQA Section 15164 concerning the decision to prepare an Addendum can be made. As supported by substantial evidence within the Addendum to the SIERRA VISTA SPECIFIC PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SCH # 2008032115, adopted May 5, 2010), inclusive of the WESTBROOK SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE SIERRA VISTA SPECIFIC PLAN MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION (SCH # 2008032115, adopted June 15, 2012), the Lead Agency makes the following findings:
[ X ] No substantial changes are proposed in the SVSP project which would require major revisions of the previous EIR.
[ X ] No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the SVSP project is undertaken.
[ X ] There is no new information of substantial importance which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of due diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete.

CUMULATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
The Proposed Project includes two actions, discussed in detail throughout this overall environmental document.
Each action is analyzed separately and differently within this overall document using the appropriate CEQA analytical device for each action—a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) with an Initial Study checklist for the SV project and an Addendum with a modified checklist for the SVSP project. Each analysis, in its respective Mandatory Findings of Significance sections, includes a determination on impacts that might be cumulatively considerable. For the SV project, the MND determined that “cumulative impacts to which the SV project will contribute in small part do not deviate beyond what was contemplated in the GP EIR.” For the SVSP project, the Addendum determined that “cumulative impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those contemplated in the SVSP EIR (inclusive of the 2012 MND).” This section looks at the combined effects of the two projects in order to set forth the total combined level of environmental impact from both the SV project and the SVSP project. This section provides additional consideration of their combined cumulative impacts by looking COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: CUMULATIVE CONSIDERATIONS

SV & SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162 & PL21-0161
at the two actions together in the context of the approved full buildout of the General Plan (GP) area as contemplated in the certified 2020 GP EIR for the 2035 GP Update.
Methodology
The process of considering the total combined level of impact from the SV project and SVSP project was complicated by the fact that the separate analysis required consideration of two different baselines for the two different projects. For the SV project, the MND used existing conditions at the time environmental review commenced as the baseline for impact assessment (see Communities for a Better Environment v. South Coast Air Quality Management District (2010) 48 Cal.4th 310, 320-321). A different approach was used for the SVSP project, as the analysis was in the nature of “subsequent environmental review” under CEQA Guidelines section 15162 through 15164. Environmental analysis of this kind essentially asks whether the impacts of a proposed project will exceed those already anticipated in a previously certified EIR, even if those impacts have not yet occurred in the present physical environment. “When a lead agency is considering whether to prepare a subsequent EIR, the agency is specifically authorized to limit its consideration to effects not considered in connection with the earlier project” (Martis Camp Community Association v. County of Placer (2020) 53 Cal.App.5th 569, 608).
The separate approaches taken with the SV project and the SVSP project created so much complexity, and so many analytical challenges that the City concluded that it was not analytically feasible to maintain the separate and distinct approaches when considering the two individual projects together as a combined overall project.
Furthermore, such an assessment would not address the relevant issue of whether these actions together exceed any impact conclusions contemplated in the GP EIR for full buildout of the GP area. Accordingly, to be legally conservative, the City decided to use an existing conditions baseline in assessing the combined overall project. Cumulative analyses, however, are not necessarily forward-looking, in that they account for, in addition to a proposed project, other past, present, and probable future projects (CEQA Guidelines §§ 15130(b)(1)(A), 15355(b).). Thus, a proper cumulative impact analysis necessarily involves consideration of a project “under predicted future conditions” (Neighbors for Smart Rail v. Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority (2013) 57 Cal.4th 445, 450 [italics added].
This cumulative assessment looks at the combined cumulative effect of the SV project and the SVSP project by looking to the scope of analysis and conclusions reached in the GP EIR and any new information offered in their current CEQA analyses. This information will be used to determine whether the two proposed actions, taken together, would increase any impact conclusion as it was presented and certified in the GP EIR. Viewed on a Citywide basis, the combined project represents the same overall amount of housing units anticipated in the General Plan with a reduction in commercial development within the SVSP area. Thus, the overall amount of contemplated development would decrease compared with what would occur over time without the combined overall project. If the analysis determined that the combined overall project would not increase the anticipated cumulative effects of General Plan buildout, the analysis would determine that the combined overall project’s contributions to cumulative effects associated with that buildout were not “cumulatively considerable” and thus were not significant in and of themselves (see CEQA Guidelines §§ 15064(h)(1), 15065(a)(3), and 15130(a)(3)).

Cumulative Assessment and Conclusion
At full buildout, the GP Update EIR assumed an additional 20,000 to 25,000 housing units and 25 to 30 million square feet of non-residential building space, including commercial, would be constructed (GP EIR, p. 2-33). For analytical purposes, the GP EIR assumed at full buildout an approximate total of 75,200 housing units (GP EIR, p. 4.2-1) and 1,900 acres of Community Commercial development (SP EIR, p. 2-30). This development is and will be located within the 16 subareas analyzed in the EIR, inclusive of the Infill Planning Area, where the SV project is located, and the SVSP area, where the SVSP project is located. With the Proposed Project, the number of housing units remains the same, but the amount of Community Commercial development decreases by approximately 10.11 acres (i.e., SVSP Parcel WB-41, which would be converted from Community Commercial to Medium Density Residential). Thus, as stated above, the overall amount of contemplated development would decrease compared to what was approved with the 2035 GP and analyzed in the GP EIR.
This cumulative assessment looks to the following environmental issue areas with respect to impact conclusions reached in the certified GP EIR to determine if the proposed land use changes result in increases to any impact conclusion reached in the GP EIR.
Air Quality
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following air quality impacts will occur:
• Impacts from construction- and operation-related air pollutant emissions will be significant and unavoidable (GP EIR, pp. 4.4-28, 4.4-36);
• Impacts to sensitive receptors as a result of exposure to substantial pollutant concentrations will be less than significant during construction but significant and unavoidable during operation (GP EIR, pp. 4.4-45,
4.4-46);
• Impacts from carbon monoxide hotspots will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.4-49); and • Impacts from other emissions such as odor will be significant and unavoidable (GP EIR, p. 4.4-53).
As concluded in the MND, all air quality impacts associated with the SV project would be less than significant.
Air quality impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those anticipated in the SVSP EIR and in fact would be reduced because the substantial reduction in operational traffic trips from the redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would in turn reduce mobile air pollutant emissions.
Furthermore, impacts associated with odor would be reduced with the decrease in commercial development because commercial development has the potential to produce some objectionable odors whereas residential development rarely does (see GP EIR, p. 4.4-50). As a result, the combined SV and SVSP projects would not exceed any air quality impacts analyzed in the GP EIR; on the contrary, the Proposed Project would reduce these impacts.

Energy
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following transportation and traffic impacts will occur:
• Impacts from the wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy during construction and operation will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.15-18); and • Impacts associated with conflicts with State or local energy efficiency plans will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.15-19).
As concluded in the MND, all impacts to energy associated with the SV project would be less than significant.
Energy impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those anticipated in the SVSP EIR and in fact would be reduced because the substantial reduction in operational vehicle trips from the redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would in turn reduce the localized consumption of fossil fuels. Notably, the transportation sector is the “largest energy consuming sector in California” (GP EIR, p. 4.15- 12). Furthermore, all housing units constructed as a result of the Proposed Project would be built on accordance with California Energy Code Title 24, to meet the Building Energy Efficiency Standards, including, but not limited to, standards for water and space heating and cooling equipment, insulation for doors, pipes, walls, and ceilings, and energy-saving appliances. The constructed units also would be eligible for rebates and other financial incentives from both the electric and gas providers for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances and systems, which would further reduce the operational energy demand. As a result, the combined SV and SVSP projects would not exceed any transportation and traffic impacts analyzed in the GP EIR; on the contrary, the Proposed Project would reduce these impacts.
Greenhouse Gases
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following GHG emission impact will occur:
• Impacts associated with conflicts with applicable plans, policies or regulations for the reduction of GHG emissions will be significant and unavoidable (GP EIR, p. 4.5-27).
As concluded in the MND, all GHG emission impacts associated with the SV project would be less than significant (see MND Attachment 10). GHG emission impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those anticipated in the SVSP EIR and in fact would be reduced because the substantial reduction in operational vehicle trips from the redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential would in turn reduce mobile emissions, which are the number one source of GHG emissions (see GP EIR, p. 4.5-20). As a result, the combined SV and SVSP projects would not exceed any GHG emission impacts analyzed in the GP EIR; on the contrary, the Proposed Project would reduce these impacts.
Hydrology and Water Quality
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following hydrology and water impacts will occur:
• Impacts from violations of water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or conflicts with a water quality control plan will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.13-30); • Impacts to groundwater recharge or groundwater supplies that might impede implementation of a sustainable groundwater management plan will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.13-32); • Impacts to drainage patterns resulting in substantial erosion or siltation will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.13-35);
• Impacts to drainage patterns resulting in runoff exceeding capacity of existing system or increasing flooding sources of polluted runoff will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.13-41); and COMBINED CEQA DOCUMENT: CUMULATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
November 5, 2021
SV & SVSP Redesignation/Rezoning Project; Files # PL21-0162 & PL21-0161
• Impacts from the release of pollutants in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.13-42).
As concluded in the MND, all hydrology and water quality impacts associated with the SV project would be either less than significant or absent. In actuality, improvements made to the SV project site as a result of eventual development would treat and mitigate flood waters in a manner that does not currently occur and would better distribute flood water, along with water quality control features, throughout the entirety of the site (see MND Attachment 10). Hydrology and water quality impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those anticipated in the SVSP EIR and, despite some infrastructure modifications, the scope and scale of potential impacts would remain the same (see Addendum Attachment 3). As a result, the combined SV and SVSP projects would not exceed any hydrology and water quality impacts analyzed in the GP EIR; on the contrary, the Proposed Project could reduce these impacts.
Public Services
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following public service impacts will occur:
• Impacts from increased demand for police protection facilities will be less than significant (GP EIR, p.
4.11-23);
• Impacts from increased demand for fire protection services and facilities will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.11-25);
• Impacts from increased demand for school services and facilities will be less than significant (GP EIR, p.
4.11-27); and
• Impacts from the need for new or expanded recreation facilities or accelerated use of existing facilities will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.11-29).
As concluded in the MND, all public service impacts associated with the SV project would be less than significant due to a mixture of (i) requisite fees and taxes that would ensure that the SV project would contribute appropriately to the provision of City public services and (ii) adherence to City codes and regulations that ensure building safety. Public service impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those anticipated in the SVSP EIR. The SVSP and SV projects will pay fees and taxes for public services and be subject to the same codes and regulations resulting in the combined projects not creating any new public service impacts that were not otherwise analyzed in the GP EIR.
Transportation/Traffic
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following transportation and traffic impacts will occur:
• Impacts from vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) in exceedance of thresholds will be significant and unavoidable (GP EIR, pp. 4.3-36);
• Impacts to hazards due to design features, incompatible uses, or emergency access will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.3-40); and
• Impacts associated with conflicts with adopted transportation-related policies, plans, or programs will be less than significant (GP EIR, pp. 4.3-43).
As concluded in the MND, all transportation and traffic impacts associated with the SV project would be less than significant. Transportation and traffic impacts associated with the SVSP project would not exceed those anticipated in the SVSP EIR and in fact would be reduced because of the substantial reduction in operational vehicle trips from the redesignation and rezoning of Parcel WB-41 from commercial to residential (see Addendum Attachment 5). As a result, the combined SV and SVSP projects would not exceed any transportation and traffic impacts analyzed in the GP EIR; on the contrary, the Proposed Project would reduce these impacts.

Utilities and Service Systems
Upon full buildout of the GP area, the GP EIR concluded that the following utilities and service system impacts will occur:
• Impacts resulting from the relocation of or the construction of new or expanded utilities and service systems facilities will significant and unavoidable (GP EIR, p. 4.12-24); • Impacts to water supplies will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.12-28); • Impacts to wastewater treatment capacity will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.12-30); and • Impacts to solid waste generation and associated capacity statutes and regulations will be less than significant (GP EIR, p. 4.12-32).
As concluded in the MND, all utilities and service system impacts associated with the SV project would be less than significant, with the SV project adhering to City codes and policies associated with infrastructure. As stated in the MND, onsite project utility infrastructure is designed to be consistent with the GP and to comply with all applicable regulations. Likewise with the SVSP project, the infrastructure required for this portion of the Proposed Project was previously identified via adopted master plans that were developed for the SVSP, with no major changes anticipated. Water use for the GP areas would not increase with implementation of the Proposed Project, and in fact will decrease City-wide use overall by approximately 2.0 acre feet per year less than the usage calculated for the previously approved land uses, based on revised calculations that look at the SV and SVSP projects together (see Addendum Attachment 7). Similarly, wastewater generation will decrease based on revised calculations that look at the SV and SVSP projects together by approximately 0.07 million gallons per day less than the generation calculated for the previously approved land uses (see Addendum Attachment 7).
Solid waste generation would likely decrease under the Proposed Project because of the loss of commercial development. Because the housing units contemplated in the GP EIR would remain the same, accordingly the associated population increase projections would remain the same, and projected solid waste generation would remain the same, as such projections are based on population. As a result, the combined SV and SVSP projects would not exceed any utilities and service system impacts analyzed in the GP EIR; on the contrary, the Proposed Project would reduce these impacts.

PROPERTY TRANSITION ARBORIST REPORT
RE: Arborist Report and Tree Inventory for Sierra View Country Club 360 Diamond Oaks Road, [APN 015-011-029], City of Roseville, California Executive Summary:
WP Sierra View, LLC contacted California Tree and Landscape Consulting, Inc. to document the trees on the property for a better understanding of the existing resource and any potential improvement obstacles that may arise. WP Sierra View, LLC requested an arborist report and tree inventory suitable for submittal to the City of Roseville. This is a Preliminary Arborist Report and Tree Inventory for the initial filing of plans to develop the property.
Richard Cory Kinley, ISA Certified Arborist WE-9717A, collected field data at various times from June 8-12, 2020, to provide species identification, measurements of DBH and canopy, field condition notes, recommended actions, ratings, and approximate locations for the trees. A total of 324 trees were evaluated on this property, of which all are protected trees according to the City of Roseville’s Municipal Code.
The City of Roseville’s Municipal Code, Chapter 19.66, Tree Preservation, defines a “Protected Tree” as any native oak tree equal to or greater than 6 inches diameter at breast height (DBH) measured as a total of a single trunk or multiple trunks. The purpose of this field reconnaissance effort was to identify, inventory, and comment upon the current structure and vigor of the “protected trees” located within and/or overhanging the project site.
The vegetation on site includes those protected trees included in the inventory, an assortment of volunteer ornamental trees found in the drainage swale and wet areas of the site, blackberries, poison oak, and annual grasses.

ASSIGNMENT
Perform an examination of the site to document the presence and condition of trees protected by the City of Roseville. The study area for this effort includes the property as outlined on the exhibit provided for the purpose of preparing this inventory (the Tree Information Collected--Appendix 2--was prepared using the exhibit provided). Essentially, the project area includes the undeveloped property between existing residential homes and the Sierra View Country Club. (All trees protected by the City are included in the inventory.) Prepare a report of findings.
METHODS
Appendix 2 and Tables 1 and 2 in this report are the detailed inventory and recommendations for the trees.
The following terms and Table A – Ratings Descriptions will further explain our findings.
Species of trees is listed by our local common name and botanical name by genus and species.
DBH (diameter breast high) is normally measured at 4’6” (54” above the average ground, height but if that varies then the location where it is measured is noted here. A steel diameter tape was used to measure the trees.
Canopy radius is measured in feet. It is the farthest extent of the crown composed of leaves and small twigs measured by a Stanley digital distance meter. This measurement often defines the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) or Protection Zone (PZ), which is a circular area around a tree with a radius equal to this measurement.
Actions listed are recommendations to improve health or structure of the tree. Trees in public spaces require maintenance. If a tree is to remain and be preserved, then the tree may need some form of work to reduce the likelihood of failure and increase the longevity of the tree. Preservation requirements and actions based on a proposed development plan are not included here.
Arborist Rating is subjective to condition and is based on both the health and structure of the tree. All of the trees were rated for condition, per the recognized national standard as set up by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers and the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) on a numeric scale of 5 (being the highest) to 0 (the worst condition, dead). The rating was done in the field at the time of the measuring and inspection.
Table A – Ratings Descriptions
No problem(s) 5 excellent
No apparent problem(s) 4 good
Minor problem(s) 3 fair
Major problem(s) 2 poor
Extreme problem(s) 1 hazardous, non-correctable
Dead 0 dead
WP Sierra View, LLC: Sierra View Country Club, City of Roseville, CA June 18, 2020 Consulting Arborists Page 3 of 39
Rating #0: This indicates a tree that has no significant sign of life.
Rating #1: The problems are extreme. This rating is assigned to a tree that has structural and/or health problems that no amount of work or effort can change. The issues may or may not be considered a dangerous situation.
Rating #2: The tree has major problems. If the option is taken to preserve the tree, its condition could be improved with correct arboricultural work including, but not limited to: pruning, cabling, bracing, bolting, guying, spraying, mistletoe removal, vertical mulching, fertilization, etc. If the recommended actions are completed correctly, hazard can be reduced and the rating can be elevated to a 3. If no action is taken the tree is considered a liability and should be removed.
Rating #3: The tree is in fair condition. There are some minor structural or health problems that pose no immediate danger. When the recommended actions in an arborist report are completed correctly the defect(s) can be minimized or eliminated.
Rating #4: The tree is in good condition and there are no apparent problems that a Certified Arborist can see from a visual ground inspection. If potential structural or health problems are tended to at this stage future hazard can be reduced and more serious health problems can be averted.
Rating #5: No problems found from a visual ground inspection. Structurally, these trees have properly spaced branches and near perfect characteristics for the species. Highly rated trees are not common in natural or developed landscapes. No tree is ever perfect especially with the unpredictability of nature, but with this highest rating, the condition should be considered excellent.
Notes indicate the health, structure and environment of the tree and explain why the tree should be removed or preserved. Additional notes may indicate if problems are minor, extreme or correctible.
Remove is the recommendation that the tree be removed. The recommendation will normally be based either on poor structure or poor health and is indicated as follows:
Yes H – Tree is unhealthy
Yes S – Tree is structurally unsound
OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The site is an undeveloped parcel surrounded by Sierra View Country Club and residential homes. The surrounding properties have been developed for many years.
RECOMMENDED REMOVALS
At this time, 10 trees have been recommended for removal from the proposed project area due to the nature and extent of defects, compromised health, and/or structural instability noted at the time of field inventory efforts. If these trees were retained within the proposed project area, it is our opinion that they may be hazardous depending upon their proximity to planned development activities. For reference, the trees which have been recommended for removal due to the severity of noted defects, compromised health, and/or structural instability are highlighted in green within the accompanying Tree Inventory Summary and are briefly summarized as follows:

DISCUSSION
Trees need to be protected from normal construction practices if they are to remain healthy and viable on the site. Our recommendations are based on experience, and County ordinance requirements, so as to enhance tree longevity. This requires their root zones remain intact and viable, despite heavy equipment being on site, and the need to install foundations, driveways, underground utilities, and landscape irrigation systems. Simply walking and driving on soil has serious consequences for tree health.
Following is a summary of Impacts to trees during construction and Tree Protection measures that should be incorporated into the site plans in order to protect the trees. Once the plans are approved, they become the document that all contractors will follow. The plans become the contract between the owner and the contractor, so that only items spelled out in the plans can be expected to be followed. Hence, all protection measures, such as fence locations, mulch requirements and root pruning specifications must be shown on the plans.
RECOMMENDATIONS: SUMMARY OF TREE PROTECTION MEASURES
Hire a Project Arborist to help ensure protection measures are incorporated into the site plans and followed. The Project Arborist should, in cooperation with the Engineers and/or Architects:
• Identify the Root Protection Zones on the final construction drawings, prior to bidding the project. • Show the placement of tree protection fences, as well as areas to be irrigated, fertilized and mulched on the final construction drawings.
• Clearly show trees for removal on the plans and mark them clearly on site. A Contractor who is a Certified Arborist should perform tree and stump removal. All stumps within the root zone of trees to be preserved shall WP Sierra View, LLC: Sierra View Country Club, City of Roseville, CA June 18, 2020 Consulting Arborists Page 5 of 39
be ground out using a stump router or left in place. No trunk within the root zone of other trees shall be removed using a backhoe or other piece of grading equipment. • Prior to any grading, or other work on the site that will come within 50’ of any tree to be preserved:
1. Irrigate (if needed) and place a 3” layer of chip mulch over the protected root zone of all trees that will be impacted.
2. Erect Tree Protection Fences. Place boards against trees located within 3’ of construction zones, even if fenced off.
3. Remove lower foliage that may interfere with equipment PRIOR to having grading or other equipment on site. The Project Arborist should approve the extent of foliage elevation, and oversee the pruning, performed by a contractor who is an ISA Certified Arborist. • For grade cuts, expose roots by hand digging, potholing or using an air spade and then cut roots cleanly prior to further grading outside the tree protection zones.
• For fills, if a cut is required first, follow as for cuts. • Where possible, specify geotextile fabric and/or thickened paving, re-enforced paving and structural soil in lieu of compacting, and avoid root cutting as much as possible, prior to placing fills on the soil surface. Any proposed retaining wall or fill soil shall be discussed with the engineer and arborist in order to reduce impacts to trees to be preserved.
• Clearly designate an area on the site outside the drip line of all trees where construction materials may be stored, and parking can take place. No materials or parking shall take place within the root zones of protected trees.
• Design utility and irrigation trenches to minimize disturbance to tree roots. Where possible, dig trenches with hydro-vac equipment or air spade, placing pipes underneath the roots, or bore the deeper trenches underneath the roots.
• Include on the plans an Arborist inspection schedule to monitor the site during (and after) construction to ensure protection measures are followed and make recommendations for care of the trees on site, as needed.
General Tree protection measures are included as Appendix 3. These measures need to be included on the Site, Grading, Utility and Landscape Plans. A final report of recommendations specific to the plan can be completed as part of, and in conjunction with, the actual plans. This will require the arborist working directly with the engineer and architect for the project. If the above recommendations are followed, the amount of time required by the arborist for the final report should be minimal.

APPENDIX 3 – GENERAL PRACTICES FOR TREE PROTECTION
Definitions:
Root zone: The roots of trees grow fairly close to the surface of the soil, and spread out in a radial direction from the trunk of tree. A general rule of thumb is that they spread 2 to 3 times the radius of the canopy, or 1 to 1 ½ times the height of the tree. It is generally accepted that disturbance to root zones should be kept as far as possible from the trunk of a tree.
Inner Bark: The bark on large valley oaks and coast live oaks is quite thick, usually 1” to 2”. If the bark is knocked off a tree, the inner bark, or cambial region, is exposed or removed. The cambial zone is the area of tissue responsible for adding new layers to the tree each year, so by removing it, the tree can only grow new tissue from the edges of the wound. In addition, the wood of the tree is exposed to decay fungi, so the trunk present at the time of the injury becomes susceptible to decay. Tree protection measures require that no activities occur which can knock the bark off the trees.
Methods Used in Tree Protection:
No matter how detailed Tree Protection Measures are in the initial Arborist Report, they will not accomplish their stated purpose unless they are applied to individual trees and a Project Arborist is hired to oversee the construction. The Project Arborist should have the ability to enforce the Protection Measures. The Project Arborist should be hired as soon as possible to assist in design and to become familiar with the project. He must be able to read and understand the project drawings and interpret the specifications. He should also have the ability to cooperate with the contractor, incorporating the contractor’s ideas on how to accomplish the protection measures, wherever possible. It is advisable for the Project Arborist to be present at the Pre-Bid tour of the site, to answer questions the contractors may have about Tree Protection Measures. This also lets the contractors know how important tree preservation is to the developer.
Root Protection Zone (RPZ): Since in most construction projects it is not possible to protect the entire root zone of a tree, a Root Protection Zone is established for each tree to be preserved. The minimum Root Protection Zone is the area underneath the tree’s canopy (out to the dripline, or edge of the canopy), plus 10’.
The Project Arborist must approve work within the RPZ.
Irrigate, Fertilize, Mulch: Prior to grading on the site near any tree, the area within the Tree Protection fence should be fertilized with 4 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet, and the fertilizer irrigated in. The irrigation should percolate at least 24 inches into the soil. This should be done no less than 2 weeks prior to grading or other root disturbing activities. After irrigating, cover the RPZ with at least 12” of leaf and twig mulch. Such mulch can be obtained from chipping or grinding the limbs of any trees removed on the site.
Acceptable mulches can be obtained from nurseries or other commercial sources. Fibrous or shredded redwood or cedar bark mulch shall not be used anywhere on site.
Fence: Fence around the Root Protection Zone and restrict activity therein to prevent soil compaction by vehicles, foot traffic or material storage. The fenced area shall be off limits to all construction equipment, unless there is express written notification provided by the Project Arborist, and impacts are discussed and mitigated prior to work commencing.
No storage or cleaning of equipment or materials, or parking of any equipment can take place within the fenced off area, known as the RPZ.
WP Sierra View, LLC: Sierra View Country Club, City of Roseville, CA June 18, 2020 Consulting Arborists Page 34 of 39
The fence should be highly visible, and stout enough to keep vehicles and other equipment out. I recommend the fence be made of orange plastic protective fencing, kept in place by t-posts set no farther apart than 6’.
In areas of intense impact, a 6’ chain link fence is preferred.
In areas with many trees, the RPZ can be fenced as one unit, rather than separately for each tree.
Where tree trunks are within 3’ of the construction area, place 2” by 4” boards vertically against the tree trunks, even if fenced off. Hold the boards in place with wire. Do not nail them directly to the tree.
The purpose of the boards is to protect the trunk, should any equipment stray into the RPZ.
Elevate Foliage: Where indicated, remove lower foliage from a tree to prevent limb breakage by equipment.
Low foliage can usually be removed without harming the tree, unless more than 25% of the foliage is removed. Branches need to be removed at the anatomically correct location in order to prevent decay organisms from entering the trunk. For this reason, a contractor who is an ISA Certified Arborist should perform all pruning on protected trees.1
Expose and Cut Roots: Breaking roots with a backhoe, or crushing them with a grader, causes significant injury, which may subject the roots to decay. Ripping roots may cause them to splinter toward the base of the tree, creating much more injury than a clean cut would make. At any location where the root zone of a tree will be impacted by a trench or a cut (including a cut required for a fill and compaction), the roots shall be exposed with either a backhoe digging radially to the trunk, by hand digging, or by a hydraulic air spade, and then cut cleanly with a sharp instrument, such as chainsaw with a carbide chain. Once the roots are severed, the area behind the cut should be moistened and mulched. A root protection fence should also be erected to protect the remaining roots, if it is not already in place. Further grading or backhoe work required outside the established RPZ can then continue without further protection measures.
Protect Roots in Deeper Trenches: The location of utilities on the site can be very detrimental to trees. Design the project to use as few trenches as possible, and to keep them away from the major trees to be protected.
Wherever possible, in areas where trenches will be very deep, consider boring under the roots of the trees, rather than digging the trench through the roots. This technique can be quite useful for utility trenches and pipelines.
Protect Roots in Small Trenches: After all construction is complete on a site, it is not unusual for the landscape contractor to come in and sever a large number of “preserved” roots during the installation of irrigation systems. The Project Arborist must therefore approve the landscape and irrigation plans. The irrigation system needs to be designed so the main lines are located outside the root zone of major trees, and the secondary lines are either laid on the surface (drip systems), or carefully dug with a hydraulic or air spade, and the flexible pipe fed underneath the major roots.
Design the irrigation system so it can slowly apply water (no more than ¼” to ½” of water per hour) over a longer period of time. This allows deep soaking of root zones. The system also needs to accommodate infrequent irrigation settings of once or twice a month, rather than several times a week.
Monitoring Tree Health During and After Construction: The Project Arborist should visit the site at least twice a month during construction to be certain the tree protection measures are being followed, to monitor the health of impacted trees, and make recommendations as to irrigation or other needs. After construction is 1 International Society of Arboriculture (ISA), maintains a program of Certifying individuals. Each Certified Arborist has a number and must maintain continuing education credits to remain Certified.

complete, the arborist should monitor the site monthly for one year and make recommendations for care where needed. If longer term monitoring is required, the arborist should report this to the developer and the planning agency overseeing the project.
Root Structure
The majority of a tree’s roots are contained in a radius from the main trunk outward approximately two to three times the canopy of the tree. These roots are located in the top 6” to 3’ of soil. It is a common misconception that a tree underground resembles the canopy (see Drawing A below). The correct root structure of a tree is in Drawing B. All plants’ roots need both water and air for survival. Surface roots are a common phenomenon with trees grown in compacted soil. Poor canopy development or canopy decline in mature trees is often the result of inadequate root space and/or soil compaction.

Structural Issues
Limited space for canopy development produces poor structure in trees. The largest tree in a given area, which is ‘shading’ the other trees is considered Dominant. The ‘shaded’ trees are considered Suppressed. The following picture illustrates this point. Suppressed trees are more likely to become a potential hazard due to their poor structure.
Co-dominant leaders are another common structural problem in trees.

Structural Issues
Limited space for canopy development produces poor structure in trees. The largest tree in a given area, which is 'shading' the other trees is considered Dominant. The 'shaded' trees are considered Suppressed. The following picture illustrates this point. Suppressed trees are more likely to become a potential hazard due to their poor structure.

Pruning Mature Trees for Risk Reduction
There are few good reasons to prune mature trees. Removal of deadwood, directional pruning, removal of decayed or damaged wood, and end-weight reduction as a method of mitigation for structural faults are the only reasons a mature tree should be pruned. Live wood over 3” should not be pruned unless absolutely necessary. Pruning cuts should be clean and correctly placed. Pruning should be done in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 standards. It is far better to use more small cuts than a few large cuts as small pruning wounds reduce risk while large wounds increase risk.
Pruning causes an open wound in the tree. Trees do not “heal” they compartmentalize. Any wound made today will always remain, but a healthy tree, in the absence of decay in the wound, will ‘cover it’ with callus tissue. Large, old pruning wounds with advanced decay are a likely failure point. Mature trees with large wounds are a high failure risk.
Overweight limbs are a common structural fault in suppressed trees. There are two remedial actions for overweight limbs (1) prune the limb to reduce the extension of the canopy, or (2) cable the limb to reduce movement. Cables do not hold weight they only stabilize the limb and require annual inspection.

Lion’s – Tailing is the pruning practice of removal of “an excessive number of inner and/or lower lateral branches from parent branches. Lion’s tailing is not an acceptable pruning practice” ANSI A300 (part 1) 4.23. It increases the risk of failure.
Pruning – Cutting back trees changes their
natural structure, while leaving trees in their
natural form enhances longevity.
Arborist Classifications
There are different types of Arborists:
Tree Removal and/or Pruning Companies. These companies may be licensed by the State of California to do business, but they do not necessarily know anything about trees; Arborists. Arborist is a broad term. It is intended to mean someone with specialized knowledge of trees but is often used to imply knowledge that is not there.
ISA Certified Arborist: An International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist is someone who has been trained and tested to have specialized knowledge of trees. You can look up certified arborists at the International Society of Arboriculture website: isa-arbor.org.
Consulting Arborist: An American Society of Consulting Arborists Registered Consulting Arborist is someone who has been trained and tested to have specialized knowledge of trees and trained and tested to provide high quality reports and documentation.

Decay in Trees
Decay (in General): Fungi cause all decay of living trees. Decay is considered a disease because cell walls are altered, wood strength is affected, and living sapwood cells may be killed. Fungi decay wood by secreting enzymes. Different types of fungi cause different types of decay through the secretion of different chemical enzymes. Some decays, such as white rot, cause less wood strength loss than others because they first attack the lignin (causes cell walls to thicken and reduces susceptibility to decay and pest damage) secondarily the cellulose (another structural component in a cell walls). Others, such as soft rot, attack the cellulose chain and cause substantial losses in wood strength even in the initial stages of decay. Brown rot causes wood to become brittle and fractures easily with tension. Identification of internal decay in a tree is difficult because visible evidence may not be present.
According to Evaluation of Hazard Trees in Urban Areas (Matheny, 1994) decay is a critical factor in the stability of the tree. As decay progresses in the trunk, the stem becomes a hollow tube or cylinder rather than a solid rod. This change is not readily apparent to the casual observer. Trees require only a small amount of bark and wood to transport water, minerals and sugars.
Interior heartwood can be eliminated (or degraded) to a great degree without compromising the transport process. Therefore, trees can contain significant amounts of decay without showing decline symptoms in the crown.
Compartmentalization of decay in
trees is a biological process in which
the cellular tissue around wounds is
changed to inhibit fungal growth
and provide a barrier against the
spread of decay agents into
additional cells. The weakest of the barrier zones is the formation of the vertical wall. Accordingly, while a tree may be able to limit decay progression inward at large pruning cuts, in the event that there are more than one pruning cut located vertically along the main trunk of the tree, the likelihood of decay progression and the associated structural loss of integrity of the internal wood is high.
Oak Tree Impacts
Our native oak trees are easily damaged or killed by having the soil within the Critical Root Zone (CRZ) disturbed or compacted. All of the work initially performed around protected trees that will be saved should be done by people rather than by wheeled or track type tractors. Oaks are fragile giants that can take little change in soil grade, compaction, or warm season watering. Don’t be fooled into believing that warm season watering has no adverse effects on native oaks. Decline and eventual death can take as long as 5-20 years with poor care and inappropriate watering.
Oaks can live hundreds of years if treated properly during construction, as well as later with proper pruning, and the appropriate landscape/irrigation design.

RE: Sierra View Golf Club Verification of Tree Failure #6517 Ryan,
I am writing to provide confirmation of a recent tree failure at the Sierra View Golf Club surplus property. The tree is located within the proposed development area of the property located at 360 Diamond Oaks Road, Roseville, California.
Unfortunately, the tree suffered a catastrophic failure of the lower trunk approximately 10’ above grade and is a total loss. The remaining debris should be cleaned up and the lower trunk and stump removed.
The attached pictures depict the failure. The tree should be removed from any mitigation calculations associated with the development of the property.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of a special-status plant survey conducted for the approximately 23-acre SVLC 23 Property (Study Area). The Study Area is located north of Shasta Street and south of Diamond Oaks Road, just east of the Sierra View Country Club in the City of Roseville, Placer County, California. The Study Area falls within Section 26, 34, and 35, Township 11 North, Range 6 East (MDB&M) of the “Roseville, California” 7.5-Minute Series USGS Topographic Quadrangle (USGS 2018) (Figure 1).
2.0 METHODOLOGY
Madrone Ecological Consulting, LLC (Madrone) Senior Biologist Bonnie Peterson conducted special-status plant surveys of the Study Area on 15 and 16 April and 15 and 20 May 2020 in accordance with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Guidelines for Conducting and Reporting Botanical Inventories for Federally Listed, Proposed and Candidate Plants (USFWS 1996), California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Protocols for Surveying and Evaluating Impacts to Special Status Native Plant Populations and Natural Communities (CDFG 2009), and the CNPS Botanical Survey Guidelines (CNPS 2001).
A list of special-status plant species with potential to occur within the Study Area was developed by reviewing the following literature, and then refining the list based on habitats present within the Study Area:
▪ California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Rare and Endangered Plant Inventory (CNPS 2020) query of CRPR Lists 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B within the “Roseville, California” USGS topo quadrangle, and the eight surrounding quadrangles; and
▪ the California Natural Diversity Database occurrences of special-status plant species within 5 miles of the Study Area (CNDDB 2020) (Figure 2).
The target species for this survey were:
▪ Big-scale balsamroot (Balsamorhiza macrolepis)
▪ Dwarf downingia (Downingia pusilla)
▪ Boggs Lake hedge-hyssop (Gratiola heterosepala)
▪ Ahart's dwarf rush (Juncus leiospermus var. ahartii)
▪ Red Bluff dwarf rush (Juncus leiospermus var. leiospermus) ▪ Legenere (Legenere limosa)
▪ pincushion navarretia (Navarretia myersii ssp. myersii) ▪ Sacramento Orcutt grass (Orcuttia viscida)
▪ Sanford’s arrowhead (Sagittaria sanfordii)
The Study Area does not contain suitable habitat for Hispid bird's-beak (Chloropyron molle ssp. hispidum).
Meandering pedestrian surveys were conducted throughout all portions of the Study Area, and focused surveys were conducted in suitable habitats for each species. The surveys were floristic in nature, which Special-Status Plant Survey Report Page 2
SLVC 23 Property August 2020
means that all plant species observed on-site were identified to the taxonomic level necessary to determine rarity. Thus, if a special-status plant was present but not on the target list, it would have been detected and documented. Plant taxonomy was based on the nomenclature in the Jepson eFlora (Jepson Flora Project 2020). Vegetation communities were classified according to the Manual of California Vegetation, Second Edition (Sawyer et al. 2009). Qualifications for the botanist that conducted the surveys are included in Attachment A, a list of reference populations of target plants visited is included in Attachment B, and a comprehensive list of all plant species observed during surveys of the Study Area is included in Attachment C.
3.0 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS AND HABITAT
The Study Area is primarily non-native annual grassland interspersed with oak woodlands, drainages, riparian and seasonal wetlands. The Study Area is bounded on the north by Diamond Oak Road and to the south by Shasta Street. The abutting area east of the Study Area is a residential development, and to the west is a community of townhomes and the Sierra View Country Club and Golf Course.
The Study Area ranges from approximately 160-175 feet above mean seal level (AMSL), with rolling terrain sloping towards the north and south. A transmission line corridor is located within the northern portion of the Study Area, and another bisects the center of the Study Area. An unnamed intermittent tributary to South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek flows to the northwest through the Study Area (SFEI 2020), and a drainage ditch from south to north towards the intermittent tributary.
The Study Area includes a central drainage ditch that flows from south to north through the site into an intermittent tributary to South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek in the northern portion of the site. The intermittent tributary flows from east to west through the Study Area. In addition, there are a number of seasonal wetland and vernal pool features scattered throughout. The Study Area is located in the Upper Coon-Upper Auburn Watershed (HUC 18020161) (USGS 2020). Mean annual precipitation for the Study Area is approximately 20.27 inches per year, and the site received approximately 55% of average rainfall in the 2019-2020 water year (NOAA 2020)
The principal vegetation community within the Study Area is non-native annual grassland. This vegetation community is fairly sparse in the southern portion of the site, with a mix of non-native annual grasses including soft brome (Bromus hordeaceus), ripgut brome (B. diandrus), perennial ryegrass (Festuca perennis), medusahead grass (Elymus caput-medusa), and wild oats (Avena fatua), and forbs such as Spanish lotus (Acmispon americanus var. americanus), Fitch’s spikeweed (Centromadia fitchii), blue dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum), filaree (Erodium botrys), miniature lupine (Lupines bicolor), hairy hawkbit (Leontodon saxatilis), vetch (Vicia spp.), and English plantain (Plantago lanceolata). In the northern portion of the site, the annual grasslands are much denser in vegetation with a higher percentage of grass species and fewer forbs.
Interspersed throughout the grassland are a number of mature oaks, primarily blue oaks (Quercus douglasii), with scattered Valley oak (Quercus lobata) and live oak (Quercus wislizeni). A number of native and nonnative trees are located along a drainage ditch and intermittent tributary including Chinese tallowtree Special-Status Plant Survey Report Page 3

(Triadica sebifera), southern catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), and willows (Salix spp.).
3.1 Terrestrial Plant Communities
3.1.1 Non-Native Annual Grasslands
The principal vegetation community within the Study Area is non-native annual grassland. This vegetation community is fairly sparse in the southern portion of the site, with a mix of non-native annual grasses including soft brome (Bromus hordeaceus), ripgut brome (B. diandrus), perennial ryegrass (Festuca perennis), medusahead grass (Elymus caput-medusa), and wild oats (Avena fatua), and forbs such as Spanish lotus (Acmispon americanus var. americanus), Fitch’s spikeweed (Centromadia fitchii), blue dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum), filaree (Erodium botrys), miniature lupine (Lupines bicolor), hairy hawkbit (Leontodon saxatilis), vetch (Vicia spp.), and English plantain (Plantago lanceolata). In the northern portion of the site, the annual grasslands are much denser in vegetation with a higher percentage of grass species and fewer forbs.
3.1.2 Oak Woodland
Interspersed throughout the grassland are a number of mature oaks, primarily blue oaks (Quercus douglasii), with scattered Valley oak (Quercus lobata) and live oak (Quercus wislizeni). These oak woodlands are dominated by interior live oak (Quercus wislizenii), blue oak (Q. douglasii), and Valley oak (Q. lobata).
Common shrubs in the riparian understory of the intermittent tributary include Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), wild rose (Rosa californica), and narrow-leaf willow (Salix exigua).). Where present, the herbaceous understory is largely similar to the non-native annual grassland described above.
3.2 Aquatic Resources
The following aquatic resources are present on site as shown on Figure 3.
3.2.1 Seasonal Wetlands
The Study Area contains 11 seasonal wetlands concentrated along the southern and northern boundaries.
Seasonal wetlands are shallow ephemeral wetlands area characterized by seasonal ponding, Seasonal wetlands within the Study Area are typically dominated by opportunistic facultative wet to facultative grasses and forbs such as Mediterranean barley (Hordeum marinum), Italian ryegrass, rabbitfoot grass (Polypogon monspellensis), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), hyssop loosestrife (Lythrum hyssopifolium), and curly dock (Rumex crispus).
3.2.2 Seasonal Wetland Swale
The seasonal wetland swale (SWS-1) within the study area flows from south the north and is dominated entirely by Italian ryegrass. This feature lacks evidence of flow or an ordinary highwater mark and did not Special-Status Plant Survey Report Page 4
SLVC 23 Property August 2020
contain water during the 2019-2020 rainy season, but was saturated at the surface during the April survey.
The seasonal wetland swale is connected to the intermittent tributary.
3.2.3 Vernal Pools
The Study Area contains three vernal pools towards the center of the property. Vernal pools are shallow ephemeral wetlands characterized by seasonal ponding, and hydrologically similar to seasonal wetlands; however, vernal pools are typically underlain by an imperious substrate resulting in unique flora. The vernal pools in the Study Area were given this designation based on a dominance of vernal pool plant species, including slender pool popcorn flower (Plagiobothrys stipitatus var. micranthus), dwarf woolyheads (Psilocarphus brevissimus var. brevissimus), great valley coyote-thistle (Eryngium castrense), creeping spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya) and annual hairgrass (Deschampsia danthonioides) and a lower overall vegetative cover.
3.2.4 Drainage Ditch
An earthen drainage ditch conveys irrigation run-off from developments south and east of the Study Area, north to the intermittent drainage. This feature is characterized by steep slopes, and is well vegetated with dense wetland obligates including water plantain (Alisma lanceolatum), broad-leaved cattail (Triadica sebifera), dotted smartweed (Persicaria punctata) and tall nutsedge (Cyperus eragrostis) with scattered native and non-native trees including Chinese catalpa, chinese tallow, willows, and Callery pear (Pyrus calleryan).
3.2.5 Intermittent Drainage
An intermittent drainage and adjacent riparian wetland are located in the northern portion of the Study Area. This drainage flows from east to west through the Study Area and the two segments connected via a culvert under a dirt maintenance road. The City of Roseville storm drainage system outfalls into the northern portion of IDR-2 in the northeast corner of the Study Area south of Diamond Oaks Road. Portions of this intermittent drainage lack an ordinary high water mark, or clear drainage patterns, and is characterized as riparian wetland with a mix of Santa Barbara sedge (Carex Barbara), dallisgrass (Paspalum dilitatum), dotted smartweed, tall nutsedge, Italian rygrass, dense Himalayan blackberry thickets, wild rose, and willows.
3.3 Soils
According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Database (NRCS 2020), two soil mapping units occurs within the Study Area (Figure 4): (141) Cometa-Fiddyment complex, 1 to 5% slopes and (142) Cometa-Ramona sandy loams, 1 to 5% slopes. While neither of these soil types are considered hydric, they contain minor hydric components in Alamo depressions and xerofluvent drainageways. Neither of these soil map units have been identified as containing special soils, such as serpentine or saline-alkali inclusions.

4.0 SURVEY RESULTS
4.1 Big-Scale Balsamroot

Subject: SVLC 23 Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle Habitat Survey, Placer County, California
Dear Mr. Welch:
At the request of SVLC 23, LLC., Madrone Ecological Consulting, LLC (Madrone) conducted a protocol-level survey for the federally threatened Valley elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus, VELB) habitat within the SVLC 23 Property (Project Area). This letter report presents the methods and results of the survey.
The approximately 23-acre Study Area is comprised of APN 015-011-029-000, located north of Shasta Street and south of Diamond Oaks Road, just east of the Sierra View Country Club in the City of Roseville, Placer County, California. The Study Area falls within Sections 26, 34, and 35, Township 11 North, Range 6 East (MDB&M) of the “Roseville, California” 7.5-Minute Series USGS Topographic Quadrangle (USGS 20181 ) (Figure 1).
Madrone senior biologist Bonnie Peterson surveyed the Project Area on 15 and 16 April and 15 and 20 May 2020. The survey was conducted according to the Framework for Assessing Impacts to the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle (USFWS 20172). No elderberry shrubs were observed within the Plan Area and no evidence of VELB was observed.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (916) 822-3225 or [email protected].

2019-20 Dry and Wet-Season Branchiopod Survey 90-Day Report Page 1 SVLC 23 Property 19 August 2020
1.0 OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this report is to summarize the results of protocol surveys for listed large vernal pool branchiopods conducted by Madrone Ecological Consulting (Madrone) within the SVLC 23 Property (formally Sierra View – Westpark) Project Area (Study Area) during the 2019-2020 dry-season and wet-season. Target species included the federally endangered conservancy fairy shrimp (Branchinecta conservatio) and vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi), as well as the federally threatened vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi). Dry-season and wet-season surveys were conducted under the authority of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Recovery Permits for Dustin Brown (TE85084C-0) and Bonnie Peterson (TE205600-1) of Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA, 16 U.S. Code 1531 et seq. and in accordance with the 13 November 2017 Survey Guidelines for the Listed Large Branchiopods (Guidelines) (USFWS 2017). Authorization to conduct dry-season surveys was issued by the USFWS in an e-mail to Dustin Brown on 8 November 2019 and wet-season surveys was issued by the USFWS in an e-mail to Dustin Brown on 19 December 2019 (USFWS reference number 2020- TA-0318).
2.0 LOCATION
The approximately 23-acre Study Area is located north of Shasta Street and south of Diamond Oaks Road, just east of the Sierra View Country Club in the City of Roseville, Placer County, California. The Study Area falls within Section 35, Township 11 North, Range 6 East (MDB&M) of the “Roseville, California” 7.5-Minute Series USGS Topographic Quadrangle (USGS 1992) (Figure 1).
3.0 METHODS AND MATERIALS
3.1 Dry-Season Survey
All potential large vernal pool branchiopod habitat within the Study Area was sampled. Potential habitat for federally listed large branchiopods is defined as any seasonally inundated depression that, on average, ponds water at a sufficient depth and duration for a listed large branchiopod to complete its lifecycle. Habitats that swiftly flow water (e.g., creeks, streams, and ephemeral drainages) or habitats that are semi-to-permanently inundated and support perennial populations of predators (e.g., bullfrogs, fish, and crayfish) generally do not provide suitable habitat for listed large branchiopods (USFWS 2017). Figure 2 is an exhibit of potential branchiopod habitat within the Study Area (City of Roseville 2019). All vernal pools, seasonal wetlands, and seasonal wetland swales were sampled during the dry-season survey totaling 19 features. The seasonal wetland swale (SWS-1) was sampled during the dry season survey. It was not sampled during the wet season survey because it did not pond and exhibited flowing water during rain events and was unsuitable habitat for vernal pool branchiopods.
Dry soil/substrate was collected from the top 1 to 3 centimeters with a hand spade from the lowest topographic areas within each sampled feature. Wherever possible, substrate samples were collected in chunks to avoid damaging branchiopod eggs. The number and volume of soil/substrate samples collected was proportionate 2018-19 Dry and Wet-Season Branchiopod Survey 90-Day Report Page 2 SVLC 23 Property 19 August 2020
to the size of the sampled feature pursuant with the requirements summarized in Table 1 of the Guidelines (USFWS 2017). Soil/substrate samples were transferred to liter-sized plastic bags and marked with the project name, aquatic feature number, and collection date for transport to Madrone’s laboratory. Madrone senior biologist Dustin Brown collected soil samples for 16 features on 12 November 2019. Three additional habitat features were identified during the wet season survey and soil for those three features (SW-13, 14, and 15) were collected by Bonnie Peterson upon drying. Dry-season samples were collected in accordance with the Guidelines (USFWS 2017) and the special terms and conditions of Mr. Brown’s and Ms. Peterson’s permits.
A brine solution was prepared in the lab by stirring non-iodized salt with lukewarm tap water in a large container. Soils/substrate samples collected from each aquatic feature were individually placed into the brine solution, and manually worked by hand to reduce soil structure. Floating organic material was decanted into either a 710-micron-diameter pore-size sieve stacked atop a 150- micron-diameter pore-size sieve. The soil material was processed through the top sieve by flushing it with lukewarm tap water while gently rubbing it with a soft-bristle brush. The organic material retained from the 150-micron-diameter pore-size sieve was then removed and thinly spread into plastic petri dishes.
All sieved fractions were microscopically inspected for the presence of large branchiopod eggs by Mr. Brown.
Soil samples were prepared and inspected pursuant to the Guidelines (USFWS 2017) and the special terms and conditions of Mr. Brown’s Take Permit (TE85084C-0) dated 5 March 2019.
If present, total egg abundance information for each sampled feature was reported in terms of: low abundance (estimate of 1-10 eggs/sampled feature); medium abundance (estimate of 11-50 eggs/sampled feature); and high abundance (estimate of more than 50 eggs/sampled feature).
Scanning electron micrographs of eggs (Gilchrist 1978, Hill and Shepard 1998, Mura 1991) are used to identify and compare any branchiopod eggs observed within the soil samples. Evidence of other aquatic invertebrates encountered was also noted on the lab data sheet. Attachment A contains the Dry-Season Lab Data Sheet, which lists sampled aquatic features.
3.2 Wet-Season Survey
Field surveys were conducted by Mr. Brown or Ms. Peterson every 14 days between 11 December 2019, and 28 April 2020, in accordance with the Guidelines (USFWS 2017). Sampling of inundated features occurred on 11 and 24 December 2019, 8 and 22 January, 5 and 19 February, 4 and 18 March, and 1 and 14 April 2020. All features representing appropriate federally-listed large vernal pool branchiopod habitat were dry by the final sampling date of 28 April 2019.
All potential large vernal pool branchiopod habitat was sampled with a 5-foot long dip net equipped with a 12- inch D-ring and 650 micron mesh. Sampling involved making a series of pulls by extending the net out and pulling it back in a sweeping motion. The net was examined for the presence of large vernal pool branchiopods and then cleaned of debris between pulls. The number of pulls made in each feature was commensurate to 2018-19 Dry and Wet-Season Branchiopod Survey 90-Day Report Page 3 SVLC 23 Property 19 August 2020
feature size and ponding depth. In addition, all potential habitat was visually inspected for the presence of large vernal pool branchiopods throughout the sampling sessions. Air temperature, water temperature, and approximate maximum depth of ponding was measured and recorded during the sampling sessions.
Attachment B contains the wet-season data sheets with the above described field data.
4.0 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS AND HABITATS
The Study Area is bounded on the north by Diamond Oak Road and to the south by Shasta Street. The abutting area east of the Study Area is a residential development, and to the west is a community of townhomes and the Sierra View Country Club and Golf Course.
The Study Area ranges from approximately 160-175 feet above mean seal level (AMSL), with rolling terrain sloping towards the north and south. A transmission line corridor is located within the northern portion of the Study Area, and another bisects the center of the Study Area. An unnamed intermittent tributary to South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek flows to the northwest through the Study Area (SFEI 2020), and a drainage ditch from south to north towards the intermittent tributary.
The principal vegetation community within the Study Area is non-native annual grassland. This vegetation community is fairly sparse in the southern portion of the site, with a mix of non-native annual grasses including soft brome (Bromus hordeaceus), ripgut brome (B. diandrus), perennial ryegrass (Festuca perennis), medusahead grass (Elymus caput-medusa), and wild oats (Avena fatua), and forbs such as Spanish lotus (Acmispon americanus var. americanus), Fitch’s spikeweed (Centromadia fitchii), blue dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum), filaree (Erodium botrys), miniature lupine (Lupines bicolor), hairy hawkbit (Leontodon saxatilis), vetch (Vicia spp.), and English plantain (Plantago lanceolata). In the northern portion of the site, the annual grasslands are much denser in vegetation with a higher percentage of grass species and fewer forbs.
Interspersed throughout the grassland are a number of mature oaks, primarily blue oaks (Quercus douglasii), with scattered Valley oak (Quercus lobata) and live oak (Quercus wislizeni). A number of native and non-native trees are located along a drainage ditch and intermittent tributary including Chinese tallowtree (Triadica sebifera), southern catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), and willows (Salix spp.).
Common shrubs in the riparian understory of the intermittent tributary include Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), wild rose (Rosa californica), and narrow-leaf willow (Salix exigua).
Aquatic resource features delineated within the Study Area consist of the south to north flowing drainage ditch, an intermittent drainage and associated riparian wetland, a seasonal wetland swale and a number of scattered vernal pools and seasonal wetlands. See Figure 2 for the sampling locations.
5.0 FINDINGS
No listed or non-listed large vernal pool branchiopod eggs (cysts) were observed in any sample collected during the 2019 and 2020 dry-season sampling. No listed or non-listed large branchiopods were observed within the Study Area during the 2019-20 wet-season protocol surveys. 2018-19 Dry and Wet-Season Branchiopod Survey 90-Day Report Page 4 SVLC 23 Property 19 August 2020

2.0 METHODOLOGY
Madrone senior biologist Bonnie Peterson conducted a delineation of aquatic resources within the Study Area on 15 and 16 April and 15 and 20 May 2020. Aquatic features and data points were mapped in the field with a GPS unit capable of sub-meter accuracy (Arrow 100). Three-parameter data (vegetation, soils, and hydrology) were collected at each data point, documenting wetland/waters or upland status, as appropriate. The delineation map was prepared in accordance with the Updated Map and Drawing Standards for the South Pacific Division Regulatory Program (USACE 2016a). The GPS data was overlayed on an ortho-rectified aerial photograph (City of Roseville 2019).
The delineation was performed in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987), the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Arid West Region (Version 2.0) (USACE 2008a), A Field Guide to the Identification of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) in the Arid West Region of the Western United States (USACE 2008b), and the Sacramento District’s Minimum Standards for Acceptance of Preliminary Wetlands Delineations (USACE 2016b). U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulations (33 CFR 328) were used to determine the presence of Waters of the United States other than wetlands. The most recent National Wetland Plant List (Lichvar et al. 2016) was used to determine the wetland indicator status of plants observed in the Study Area. The Jepson eFlora (Jepson Flora Project 2020) was used for plant nomenclature.

3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Study Area is bounded on the north by Diamond Oak Road and to the south by Shasta Street. The abutting area east of the Study Area is a residential development, and to the west is a community of townhomes and the Sierra View Country Club and Golf Course.
The Study Area ranges from approximately 160-175 feet above mean seal level (AMSL), with rolling terrain sloping towards the north and south. A transmission line corridor is located within the northern portion of the Study Area, and another bisects the center of the Study Area. An unnamed intermittent tributary to South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek flows to the northwest through the Study Area (SFEI 2020), and a drainage ditch from south to north towards the intermittent tributary.
The principal vegetation community within the Study Area is non-native annual grassland. This vegetation community is fairly sparse in the southern portion of the site, with a mix of non-native annual grasses including soft brome (Bromus hordeaceus), ripgut brome (B. diandrus), perennial ryegrass (Festuca perennis), medusahead grass (Elymus caput-medusa), and wild oats (Avena fatua), and forbs such as Spanish lotus (Acmispon americanus var. americanus), Fitch’s spikeweed (Centromadia fitchii), blue dicks (Dichelostemma capitatum), filaree (Erodium botrys), miniature lupine (Lupines bicolor), hairy hawkbit (Leontodon saxatilis), vetch (Vicia spp.), and English plantain (Plantago lanceolata). In the northern portion of the site, the annual grasslands are much denser in vegetation with a higher percentage of grass species and fewer forbs.
Interspersed throughout the grassland are a number of mature oaks, primarily blue oaks (Quercus douglasii), with scattered Valley oak (Quercus lobata) and live oak (Quercus wislizeni). A number of native and nonnative trees are located along a drainage ditch and intermittent tributary including Chinese tallowtree (Triadica sebifera), southern catalpa (Catalpa bignonioides), honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos), and willows (Salix spp.). Common shrubs in the riparian understory of the intermittent tributary include Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), wild rose (Rosa californica), and narrow-leaf willow (Salix exigua).
3.1 Hydrology
The Study Area includes a central drainage ditch that flows from south to north through the site into an intermittent tributary to South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek in the northern portion of the site. The intermittent tributary flows from east to west through the Study Area. In addition, there are a number of seasonal wetland and vernal pool features scattered throughout the Study Area. The wetlands and other waters are described in more detail within the results portion of this report.
The Study Area is located in the Upper Coon-Upper Auburn Watershed (HUC 18020161) (USGS 2020). Mean annual precipitation for the Study Area is approximately 20.27 inches per year, and the site received approximately 55% of average rainfall in the 2019-2020 water year (NOAA 2020) Aquatic Resources Delineation Page 3
SVLC 23 Property 31 July 2020
3.2 Soils
According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey Database (NRCS 2020), two soil mapping units occurs within the Study Area (Figure 2): (141) Cometa-Fiddyment complex, 1 to 5% slopes and (142) Cometa-Ramona sandy loams, 1 to 5% slopes. While neither of these soil types are considered hydric, they contain minor hydric components in Alamo depressions and xerofluvent drainageways.
3.3 Driving Directions
To access the Study Area from Sacramento, drive north east on Interstate 80 towards Reno. Exit 105A into Atlantic Street turn right on Yosemite Street, and Right on Shasta Street. The Study Area is directly across from Ferris Spranger Elementary School. The Study Area is fenced and not accessible without prior arrangements.
4.0 RESULTS
Aquatic resource features delineated within the Study Area consist of the south to north flowing drainage ditch, an intermittent drainage and associated riparian wetland, a seasonal wetland swale and a number of scattered vernal pools and seasonal wetlands. Data sheets are included in Attachment A, a map of the aquatic resources is included as Figure 3 and Attachment B. A list of the plant species observed in the Study Area with their wetland indicator status is included in Attachment C. GIS Shapefiles and the Aquatic Resources Excel Spreadsheet for the aquatic resources are included on as Attachment D. Photographs of the Study Area and Aquatic Resources is included as Attachment E.

4.1 Wetlands
4.1.1 Seasonal Wetlands
The Study Area contains 11 seasonal wetlands concentrated along the southern and northern boundaries.
Seasonal wetlands are shallow ephemeral wetlands area characterized by seasonal ponding, Seasonal wetlands within the Study Area are typically dominated by opportunistic facultative wet to facultative grasses and forbs such as Mediterranean barley (Hordeum marinum), Italian ryegrass, rabbitfoot grass (Polypogon monspellensis), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), hyssop loosestrife (Lythrum hyssopifolium), and curly dock (Rumex crispus).
A few of the seasonal wetlands in the northern portion of the Study Area (SW-4, SW-5) did not display the necessary redox features to meet the redox dark surface hydric soil indicator, however, as saturation was observed during the growing season (May 16) it was assumed that the dark soils in these features where masking redoximorphic features when both wetland vegetation and wetland hydrology were present. None of the seasonal wetlands have a direct surface water connection to the ditch or intermittent drainage.
4.1.2 Seasonal Wetland Swale
The seasonal wetland swale (SWS-1) within the study area flows from south the north and is dominated entirely by Italian ryegrass. This feature lacks evidence of flow or an ordinary highwater mark and did not contain water during the 2019-2020 rainy season, but was saturated at the surface during the April survey.
The seasonal wetland swale is connected to intermittent Drainage IDR-2.
4.1.3 Vernal Pools
The Study Area contains three vernal pools towards the center of the property. Vernal pools are shallow ephemeral wetlands characterized by seasonal ponding, and hydrologically similar to seasonal wetlands; however, vernal pools are typically underlain by an imperious substrate resulting in unique flora. The vernal pools in the Study Area were given this designation based on a dominance of vernal pool plant species, including slender pool popcorn flower (Plagiobothrys stipitatus var. micranthus), dwarf woolyheads Aquatic Resources Delineation Page 5
SVLC 23 Property 31 July 2020
(Psilocarphus brevissimus var. brevissimus), great valley coyote-thistle (Eryngium castrense), creeping spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya) and annual hairgrass (Deschampsia danthonioides) and a lower overall vegetative cover. Vernal pools in the Study Area exhibited primary hydrology indicators including inundation, saturation, and oxidized rhizospheres along living roots. Soils exhibited a depleted matrix (D3).
None of the vernal pools on-site have a direct surface water connection to the ditch or intermittent drainage.
There is an earthen dam between VP-1 and SW-6 that prevents downstream flow and impounds water in VP-1.
4.2 Other Waters
4.2.1 Drainage Ditch
An earthen drainage ditch conveys irrigation run-off from developments south and east of the Study Area, north to the intermittent drainage. This feature is characterized by steep slopes, and is well vegetated with dense wetland obligates including water plantain (Alisma lanceolatum), broad-leaved cattail (Triadica sebifera), dotted smartweed (Persicaria punctata) and tall nutsedge (Cyperus eragrostis) with scattered native and non-native trees including Chinese catalpa, chinese tallow, willows, and Callery pear (Pyrus calleryan).
This feature was apparently constructed concurrent with the adjacent development to the south and east sometime after 1966 and before 1993 (HistoricAerials.com 2020). A culvert under a dirt maintenance road is located between the two drainage ditch segments (DD-1 and DD-2), and between segments DD-2 and DD-3. Stormwater and irrigation runoff enter the ditch though a culvert at the southern end of DD-3. The ditch flows to the intermittent drainage IDR-2 in the northern portion of the Study Area.
4.2.2 Intermittent Drainage
An intermittent drainage and adjacent riparian wetland are located in the northern portion of the Study Area. This drainage flows from east to west through the Study Area and the two segments (IDR-1 and IDR2) are connected via a culvert under a dirt maintenance road. The City of Roseville storm drainage system outfalls into the northern portion of IDR-2 in the northeast corner of the Study Area south of Diamond Oaks Road. The intermittent drainage is the upper watershed, and ultimately a tributary to, South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek.
IDR-1 and IDR-2 typically exhibit a bed, bank, and channel, ranging in width from 1-3 ft wide. Portions of this intermittent drainage lack an ordinary high water mark, or clear drainage patterns, and is characterized as riparian wetland with a mix of Santa Barbara sedge (Carex Barbara), dallisgrass (Paspalum dilitatum), dotted smartweed, tall nutsedge, Italian rygrass, dense Himalayan blackberry thickets, wild rose, and willows.
The boundaries of the intermittent drainage were delineated at the ordinary high water mark, or the edge of riparian vegetation, whichever was in the most upland position. Minimal surface water was observed ponding in isolated section of this feature during the April field survey and non during the May visit. This intermittent drainage ultimately connects to the South Branch Pleasant Grove Creek.

5.0 CONCLUSION
Implementation of the USACE delineation protocol resulted in the identification of 2.047 acres/ 3,807 linear feet of wetlands or other waters within the Study Area. Each agency must determine if these wetlands and other waters, once delineated, are regulated by the local, state, and federal laws. The applicant is requesting the USACE concurrence regarding the quantity and locations of aquatic resources mapped within the Study Area (Figure 3, Attachment B) utilizing the USACE delineation protocol, and that the USACE determine Federal jurisdiction of these aquatic resources by providing the applicant with an approved jurisdictional determination letter. A signed form providing USACE staff accompanied access to the Study Area is included as Attachment F.
