Location and Existing Setting:

Project Description: The project site is located at 2110 North Main Street at the southeast corner of North Main Street and East Bolivar Street (see Vicinity Map). The project includes the following applications:

1. General Plan Amendment 2022-003 (GPA 2022-003); Request to change the General Plan designation of an approximately 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of a 18,880 square-foot lot located at 2110 North Main Street from "Residential Low Density" to "Retail";

2. Rezone 2022-003 (RZ 2022-003); Request to change Zoning designation of the above referenced 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of the project site from "Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5)" to "Commercial Retail (CR)"; and

3. Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 (CUP 2022-005); Request to establish and Initial Study -General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 -2110 North Main Street
City of Salinas -Community Development Department

operate an Extended Stay Hotel for 22 of 25 on-site rooms.

The project site is currently developed with an existing hotel/motel (Capitol Motel) which is estimated to have been constructed circa 1936 and is considered a legal non­ conforming use pursuant to Zoning Code Section 37-50.160. The Applicant (Capitol Motel -Ray Patel) is requesting to establish and operate an Extended Stay Hotel for 22 of the 25 on-site rooms pursuant to Zoning Code Section 37-50.085 (Extended Stay for Hotel/Mote/ uses).

The site is split zoned with Commercial Retail (CR) along the western portion of the site and Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5) along the eastern portion of the site. Per the Zoning Code, Extended Stay Hotels located on Commercial Retail (CR) zoned land can be considered through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. However, in the Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5) Zoning District, Extended Stay Hotels are not permitted. Therefore, the applications have been submitted so that the General Plan and Zoning designations of the subject property are consistent with the western portion of the lot which are "Retail" and "Commercial Retail (CR)" respectively. Upon approval of the General Plan Amendment and Rezone, the proposed Extended Stay Hotel use can be approved through the CUP process.

(a-c) The project site is not located adjacent to or near a scenic vista or a scenic highway. Any development will be required to comply with all applicable Zoning Code land use and Development Standards. The requested CUP 2022-005 is not expected to degrade scenic resources or the visual character of the area because compliance with Zoning Code development standards will ensure environmental impacts related to aesthetics will be reduced to a level of insignificance.
(d) Future development of the project site could create additional light and glare.

However, compliance with the City's lighting standards as stated in Zoning Code Section 37-50.480 will reduce any impact to less than significant.

a-c) Salinas lies within the North Central Coast Air Basin, which meets the federal standard for ozone levels but falls short of the higher State standards for ozone and PM10. Ozone is the primary constituent of smog and is formed in the atmosphere via a chemical reaction involving nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic gases (VOC), and sunlight. The primary sources are motor vehicles, organic solvents, pesticides, and industry. The Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) oversees various air quality regulations and programs.

MBARD Board of Directors adopted the 2012-2015 Air Quality Management Plan in March 2017 which represents the latest edition of the 2012 Triennial Plan, which addresses NOx and reactive organic gasses (ROG) emissions as precursors to ozone. The air quality impact generated by the project is expected Initial Study -General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 -2110 North Main Street
City of Salinas -Community Development Department

to be less than significant, because it will create less than a significant number of vehicle trips.

The revised CEQA Air Quality Guidelines prepared by the Monterey Bay Air Resources District, dated February 2008 (Source F1 ), stipulate maximum thresholds for air quality as follows:
a) Emit less than 137 lb./day of VOC's or NOx;
b) Directly emit less than 550 lb./day of CO or will not cause a violation of CO ambient air quality standards (AAQS) at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors;
c) Not significantly impact traffic levels of service or will not cause a violation of CO or contribute 550 lb./day to an existing or projected violation at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors;
d) Directly emit less than 82 lb./day of PM10 on-site or will not cause a violation of particulate matter, ten-micron diameter (PM10) AAQS or contribute 82 lb./day to an existing or projected violation at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors;
e) Not indirectly generate PM10 along unpaved roads or will not cause a violation of PM10 AAQS or contribute 82 lb./day to an existing projected violation at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors; f) Directly emit less than 150 lb./day of sulfur oxide (SOx) or will not cause a violation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) AAQS at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors.
d) Objectionable odors are unlikely to be produced by the project because no odor generating activities will occur within the proposed Extended Stay Hotel project.

Discussion
(a-f) The site is located on a developed in-fill property within the CR (Commercial Retail and R-L-5.5 (Residential Low Density) zoning districts. There is no native flora or fauna remaining on the project site. It is not located within a wetland habitat, riparian woodland or vernal pool, nor is it located near any sensitive habitat areas. It will not conflict with a Habitat Conservation Plan, or other habitat plan.

The southern boundary of the project site is located adjacent to an existing reclamation ditch. The City of Salinas 2002 General Plan requires a 100-foot setback between development and creeks (measured from top-of bank or outer edge of the riparian woodland, whichever is greater). Future encroachments into the 100-foot creek setback may be considered pursuant to the General Plan COS-17 Implementation Program and Zoning Code Section 37-50.180(h)(1 )(0) with a Biotic Resources Study. The existing building was constructed circa 1936; therefore, the encroachment is considered legal nonconforming. The Applicant is not proposing construction within the 100-foot setback. Therefore, no Biotic Resources Study will be required as a part of this project and impacts to biological resources are not considered significant.

Mitigation
No mitigation is required.

Discussion
(a-c) Per Section 5.8 (Cultural Resources) of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Salinas General Plan (Source A 1 ), little archaeological investigation has occurred in the City of Salinas or in Monterey County. However, there is always the potential to encounter subsurface materials during grading and construction.

Therefore, pursuant to the Public Resources Code (Section 21083.2), in the event that cultural materials are encountered during development, all work shall cease until the find has been evaluated and mitigation measures put in place for the disposition and protection of any find. With this requirement, there is little potential for a significant impact on the environment.

On August 19, 2022, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1, subd. (d), and Assembly Bill 52 (AB52), City of Salinas staff sent via certified mail, a consultation request regarding the proposed project to all applicable California Native American Tribes whose geographic area of traditional and cultural affiliation lands boundary includes the City of Salinas as specified by the Initial Study -General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 -2110 North Main Street

Native American Heritage Foundation. On September 23, 2022, staff had a phone consultation with Louise J. Miranda Ramirez, Tribal Chairperson of the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation concerning the proposed project. Staff provided Ms. Miranda-Ramirez with information concerning the proposed project and did not receive any future correspondence from the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation. Staff received correspondence from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians dated September 12, 2022 requesting no further consultation on the project (Attachment 10). No additional correspondence was received from any of the other consulted California Native American Tribes.

On August 18, 2022, staff sent a request to the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) to determine if the project could adversely affect cultural resources. Per the attached response dated December 7, 2022 (Source F2, Attachment 7), CHRIS found no record of any previous cultural resource studies for the proposed project area. The response from CHRIS recommended tribal consultation, which as stated above occurred on August 19, 2022.

Mitigation Measure CU-1, pursuant to Public Resources Code (Section 21083.2), will be required, which states that in the event that cultural materials are encountered during grading/construction, all work shall cease until the find has been evaluated and mitigation measures put in place for the disposition and protection of any find.

Discussion
(a) The proposed project will not generate, either directly or indirectly, greenhouse gas emissions causing a significant impact on the environment. (b) The proposed project will not conflict with any other applicable plans, policies, or regulations adopted for the purposes of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases including:

Assembly Bill 32, which requires the state board to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions levels in 1990 to be achieved by 2020.
-Senate Bill 375, which requires the state board, working in consultation with the metropolitan planning organizations, to provide each affected region with greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for the automobile and light truck sector for 2020 and 2035 by September 30, 2010. -At the time the City of Salinas General Plan 2002 was adopted, the issue of greenhouse gas emissions and the need to combat it in general plans had not risen to a critical level of concern. Nevertheless, the City adopted numerous goals and policies with the intent of improving development Initial Study -General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 -2110 North Main Street
City of Salinas -Community Development Department

sustainability. These goals and policies have both direct and indirect benefits in terms of reducing GHG emissions. Important overall land use/urban design related themes in the General Plan that serve this purpose include:
i. Increasing density and intensity of development to promote more compact development and reuse/revitalization,
ii. Facilitating in-fill development as a means to promote compact development, and
iii. Promoting mixed-use development and a compact city core, emphasizing Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) design, walkable neighborhoods, and transit-oriented development, especially in new growth areas.
-The City of Salinas Final Supplemental EIR for the Salinas General Plan Program EIR 2007 (Supplemental EIR) provides specific mitigation for future development, but mostly for larger scale projects. In this case, the project would not result in a significant effect on the environment with regard to greenhouse gases.

Discussion
(a-b) The proposed project is not expected to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of the materials. The proposal is to change the existing General Plan and Zoning Code designations of the eastern portion of an existing lot and authorize establishment and operation of an Extended Stay Hotel. Compliance with local, state, and federal requirements would ensure that the hazards to the public are reduced to a level of insignificance.
(c) The project site is currently a hotel and motel use (Capitol Motel) [(see above discussion (a-b)]. However, the site will not involve the routine transportation of hazardous materials.
(d) The site is not known to be located on a site included on a list of hazardous materials sites.
(e) The project is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip and it is not located within the Airport Local Area of Influence per Figure LU 11 of the Salinas General Plan. The site is located approximately 4.6-miles away from the end of the runway (13-31) of the Salinas Municipal Airport. See Section 15(h) below for further discussion of Airport operations.
(f) The project will not interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
(g) The project will not expose people or structures to risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, because the site is an infill property and no wildlands are located nearby.

Mitigation

Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow is unlikely because the site is located a considerable distance from the ocean and is relatively flat thereby negating a potential mudflow. Per the attached Engineer's Report dated August 1, 2022, the project site is located within a Regulatory Floodway and requires an Elevation Certificate prepared by a licensed surveyor.

(b) The General Plan (Source A 1) Land Use designation of the approximately 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of 18,880 square-foot project site is "Residential Low Density". The proposal is to change the General Plan designation of the above referenced eastern portion of the project site from "Residential Low Density" to "Retail". The proposed change in the General Plan land use designation from "Residential Low Density" to "Retail" would be consistent with the western portion of the project site and allow for uses prescribed by the City's 2002 General Plan land use designation of Retail.

Initial Study -General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 -2110 North Main Street

The project site consists of 18,880 square-feet. The approximately 10,531 square-foot western portion of the project site is currently located in the "Commercial Retail" (CR) District, which provides for wide range of commercial uses, including the existing hotel use and the proposed Extended Stay Hotel.

The approximately 8,349 square-foot eastern portion of the project site is zoned Residential Low Density (R-L-5.5), which only allows for single-family residential uses. Uses such as the proposed Extended Stay Hotel are not allowed in the R­ L-5.5 District. The proposed Rezone would change the Zoning designation of the eastern portion of the project site from "Residential -Low Density" (R-L-5.5) to "Commercial Retail" (CR). The proposed zoning would be consistent with the existing Zoning designation of the adjacent western portion of the project site.

The project site is not located within a specific plan or a precise plan area and therefore does not conflict with such a plan. The project site is located entirely within the City limits of Salinas and does not conflict with the adopted sphere of influence.

Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 (CUP 2022-005) is requested to establish and operate an Extended Stay Hotel through the discretionary Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process. Proposed conditions of CUP 2022-005 will ensure that, when implemented, the project will conform and comply with the provisions of the Salinas Zoning Code.

(a) Per Section 5.8 (Cultural Resources) of the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Salinas General Plan (Source A 1 ), little archaeological investigation has occurred in the City of Salinas or in Monterey County. However, there is always the potential to encounter subsurface materials during grading and construction.

Therefore, pursuant to the Public Resources Code (Section 21083.2), in the event that cultural materials are encountered during grading/construction, all work shall cease until the find has been evaluated and mitigation measures put in place for the disposition and protection of any find. With this requirement, there is little potential for a significant impact on the environment.

On August 19, 2022, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1, subd. (d), and Assembly Bill 52 (AB52), City of Salinas staff sent via certified mail, a consultation request regarding the proposed project to all applicable California Native American Tribes whose geographic area of traditional and cultural affiliation lands boundary includes the City of Salinas as specified by the Native American Heritage Foundation. On September 23, 2022, staff had a Initial Study -General Plan Amendment 2022-003, Rezone 2022-003, and Conditional Use Permit 2022-005 -2110 North Main Street
City of Salinas -Community Development Department

phone consultation with Louise J. Miranda Ramirez, Tribal Chairperson of the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation concerning the proposed project. Staff provided Ms. Miranda-Ramirez with information concerning the proposed project and did not receive any future correspondence from the Ohlone Costanoan Esselen Nation. Staff received correspondence from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians dated September 12, 2022 requesting no further consultation on the project (Attachment 10). No additional correspondence was received from any of the other consulted California Native American Tribes.

On August 18, 2022, staff sent a request to the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) to determine if the project could adversely affect cultural resources. Per the attached response dated December 7, 2022 (Source F2, Attachment 7), CHRIS found no record of any previous cultural resource studies for the proposed project area. The response from CHRIS recommended tribal consultation, which as stated above occurred on August 19, 2022.

Mitigation Measure TCR-1, pursuant to Public Resources Code (Section 21083.2), will be required, which states that in the event that cultural materials are encountered during grading/construction, all work shall cease until the find has been evaluated and mitigation measures put in place for the disposition and protection of any find.

4. DETERMINATION
On the basis of this Initial Study:
□ I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

IRl I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MIT/GA TED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
□ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
□ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect:
(a) Has been adequately analyzed in (Reference document) pursuant to applicable legal standards; and
(b) Has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described in Section 2: Checklist, if the effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or a Negative Declaration: "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated".

An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
□ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects:
(a) Have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and;
(b) Have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

NOTHING FURTHER IS REQUIRED.

re: GPA 2022-003 & RZ 2022-003 / APN 253-074-005 at 2110 North Main St., Salinas/ Daniel Saphorghan Dear
Records at this office were reviewed to determine if this project could adversely affect cultural resources.

Please note that use of the term cultural resources includes both archaeological sites and historical buildings and/or structures. The review for possible historic-era building/structures, however, was limited to references currently in our office and should not be considered comprehensive.

Project Description:

Application for a General Plan Amendment and Rezone of the eastern portion of the property which is zoned Residential Low Density {R-L-5.5) GPA and RZ to change the above designations to "Retail" and "CR" zone to be consistent with the other portion of the property which would allow for an extended stay hotel with CUP. This GPA and RZ were requested by City Planning department in an incomplete letter dated February 17th 2022 as a response to an existing and ongoing CUP application.

Previous Studies:
lili._ This office has no record of any previous cultural resource studies for the proposed project area (see recommendation below).

Archaeological and Native American Resources Recommendations:

XX The proposed project area has the possibility of containing unrecorded archaeological site(s). As per the project description, there is to be no ground disturbance planned or foreseen. Therefore, further study for archaeological resources is not recommended at this time. Should the description of this project change, we recommend further review for the possibility of identifying Native American and historic-period archaeological resources.

XX We recommend lead agency contact the local Native American tribe(s) regarding traditional, cultural, and religious heritage values. For a complete listing of tribes in the vicinity of the project, please contact the Native American Heritage Commission at {916) 373-3710.
__ The proposed project area has a low possibility of containing unrecorded archaeological site(s). Therefore, no further study for archaeological resources is recommended. hi
Built Environment Recommendations:

XX Since the Office of Historic Preservation has determined that any building or structure 45 years or older may be of historical value, if the project area contains such properties, it is recommended that prior to commencement of project activities, a qualified professional familiar with the architecture and history of Monterey County conduct a formal CEQA evaluation.

Due to processing delays and other factors, not all of the historical resource reports and resource records that have been submitted to the Office of Historic Preservation are available via this records search. Additional information may be available through the federal, state, and local agencies that produced or paid for historical resource management work in the search area. Additionally, Native American tribes have historical resource information not in the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Inventory, and you should contact the California Native American Heritage Commission for information on local/regional tribal contacts.

The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) contracts with the California Historical Resources Information System's (CHRIS) regional Information Centers (ICs) to maintain information in the CHRIS inventory and make it available to local, state, and federal agencies, cultural resource professionals, Native American tribes, researchers, and the public. Recommendations made by IC coordinators or their staff regarding the interpretation and application of this information are advisory only. Such recommendations do not necessarily represent the evaluation or opinion of the State Historic Preservation Officer in carrying out the OH P's regulatory authority underfederal and state law.

For your reference, a list of qualified professionals in California that meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards can be found at http://www.chrisinfo.org. If archaeological resources are encountered during the project, work in the immediate vicinity of the finds should be halted until a qualified archaeologist has evaluated the situation. If you have any questions please give us a call at (707) 588-8455.

Subject: General Plan Amendment and Rezone of portion of property Capitol Motel 2110 North Main Street, Salinas, APN 253-074-005-000
This is a combined application, General Plan Amendment and Rezone of subject property to allow for extended stay housing for agricultural workers. A CUP has already been applied for, however, the owner was unaware that the property needed a GPA and RZ to allow for this type of use. Recent changes in the zoning ordinance 2665 now allow for extended use in the CR zones with a successful CUP application.

The existing property has two General Plan designations Retail and Residential -Low density.

Applicant would like to amend the general plan designation of the Residential -low density eastern portion of the parcel to Retail so it matches the western portion of the parcel to establish continuity in the General Plan designation as the whole parcel would be designated Retail.

The current property also has 2 zones: Commercial Retail and R-L-5.5. Applicant would like to rezone the eastern portion from R-L-5.5 to Commercial Retail (CR) so it matches the western portion and establish Commercial Retail (CR) continuity in the zoning of this parcel.

Please find the following attachments:

1. Development review application GPA and RZ

2. GPA and RZ Change Request

3. 2110 N Main St. Site Plan
This GPA and RZ application is part of the CUP application being deemed complete and is vital to gain extended stay use for this parcel which would enable the property to continue to provide much needed housing for agricultural workers.
