Re: Record search results for the proposed Alisal Marketplace Rezone, Salinas, Monterey County, California

Dear Shin Tu:

Per your request received by our office on March 1, 2022, a records search was conducted for the above referenced project by reviewing pertinent Northwest Information Center (NWIC) base maps that reference cultural resources records and reports, historic-period maps, and literature for Monterey County. An Area of Potential Effects (APE) map was not provided; in lieu of this, the location map provided depicting the Alisal Marketplace Rezone project area was used to conduct this records search. Please note that use of the term cultural resources includes both archaeological resources and historical buildings and/or structures.

The proposed project proposes a General Plan Amendment to change land use designation from Retail and General Commercial/Light Industrial to Mixed Use, and a rezone to change zoning from Commercial Retail and Industrial General Commercial to MU-Mixed Use.

This would facilitate residential development to expand housing opportunities. The project does not propose physical development. However, the city envisioned the development of a new mixed-use neighborhood integrating housing and services with public open space and education and civic buildings, including a new police station. For the purpose of CEQA analysis, the project assumes the development of 131,414-sf. commercial space and 493 residential dwelling units.

Review of the information at our office indicates that there have been no previous cultural resource studies that cover the Alisal Marketplace Rezone project area. The project area contains no previously recorded archaeological resources. The State Office of Historic Preservation Built Environment Resources Directory (OHP BERD), which includes listings of the California Register of Historical Resources, California State Historical Landmarks, California State Points of Historical Interest, and the National Register of Historic Places, lists no previously recorded buildings or structures within or adjacent to the proposed project area. In addition to these inventories, the NWIC base maps show no previously recorded buildings or structures within the proposed project area.

At the time of Euroamerican contact, the Native Americans that lived in the area were speakers of the Mutsun and/or Rumsen languages, both of which are part of the Costanoan subfamily of the Utian language family (Shipley 1978: 89). There are no Native American

resources within or adjacent to the Alisal Marketplace Rezone project area that are referenced in the ethnographic literature (Levy 1976).

Based on an evaluation of the environmental setting and features associated with known sites, Native American resources in this part of Monterey County have been found near seasonal and perennial waterways and the associated ecotones found nearby. Sites are also found at foothill to valley interfaces and near oak woodland environments. The Alisal Marketplace Rezone project area is located in the broad alluvial fans in proximity to Natividad Creek and its basin.

Given the similarity of these environmental factors, there is a moderate potential for unrecorded Native American resources to be within the proposed project area, especially buried deposits that may not show signs on the surface.

Review of historical literature and maps indicated historic-period activity within the Alisal Marketplace Rezone project area for over the last 100 years. The 1912 Salinas 15-minute topographic quadrangle depicts two buildings within the proposed project area. In addition, the area was located along a major east-west transportation corridor, and is located just to the east of the railroad. With this information in mind, there is a moderate potential for unrecorded historic- period archaeological resources to be within the proposed project area.

The 1947 (photorevised 1975) USGS Salinas 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle depicts numerous buildings or structures within the Alisal Marketplace Rezone project area. These unrecorded buildings or structures meet the Office of Historic Preservation’s minimum age standard that buildings, structures, and objects that are 45 years of age or older may be of historical value.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) As per the project description, there is to be no ground disturbance at this time. When proposed, we recommend further study for the possibility of identifying Native American and historic-period archaeological resources as there is a moderate potential for Native American archaeological resources and a moderate potential for historic-period archaeological resources to be within the project area. In the future, we recommend a qualified archaeologist conduct further archival and field study to identify cultural resources. Field study may include, but is not limited to, pedestrian survey, hand auger sampling, shovel test units, or geoarchaeological analyses as well as other common methods used to identify the presence of archaeological resources. Please refer to the list of consultants who meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards at http://www.chrisinfo.org.
2) We recommend the 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. 3) If the proposed project area contains buildings or structures that meet the minimum age requirement, prior to commencement of project activities, it is recommended that the unrecorded building or structure be documented on Office of Historic Preservation’s DPR 523 resource recordation forms by a professional familiar with the architecture and history of Monterey County.

Furthermore, the potential impacts of the proposed project activities on this building or structure should be assessed, and project-specific recommendations provided, as warranted. Please refer to the list of consultants who meet the Secretary of Interior’s Standards at http://www.chrisinfo.org.
3 21-1411
4) Review for possible historic-period buildings or structures has included only those sources listed in the attached bibliography and should not be considered comprehensive. 5) If archaeological resources are encountered during construction, work should be temporarily halted in the vicinity of the discovered materials and workers should avoid altering the materials and their context until a qualified professional archaeologist has evaluated the situation and provided appropriate recommendations. Project personnel should not collect cultural resources. Native American resources include chert or obsidian flakes, projectile points, mortars, and pestles; and dark friable soil containing shell and bone dietary debris, heat-affected rock, or human burials. Historic-period resources include stone or adobe foundations or walls; structures and remains with square nails; and refuse deposits or bottle dumps, often located in old wells or privies.
6) It is recommended that any identified cultural resources be recorded on DPR 523 historic resource recordation forms, available online from the Office of Historic Preservation’s website: https://ohp.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28351

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 OHP’s regulatory authority under federal and state law.

Thank you for using our services. If you have any questions, please contact our office at [email protected] or at (707) 588-8455.

Dear Shin Tu:

Attached is a consultation list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places located within the boundaries of the above referenced counties or projects.

Government Codes §65352.3 and §65352.4 require local governments to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to cultural places when creating or amending General Plans, Specific Plans and Community Plans.

Public Resources Codes §21080.3.1 and §21080.3.2 requires public agencies to consult with California Native American tribes identified by the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) for the purpose of avoiding, protecting, and/or mitigating impacts to tribal cultural resources as defined, for California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) projects.

The law does not preclude local governments and agencies from initiating consultation with the tribes that are culturally and traditionally affiliated within your jurisdiction. The NAHC believes that this is the best practice to ensure that tribes are consulted commensurate with the intent of the law.

Best practice for the AB52 process and in accordance with Public Resources Code §21080.3.1(d), is to do the following:

Within 14 days of determining that an application for a project is complete or a decision by a public agency to undertake a project, the lead agency shall provide formal notification to the designated contact of, or a tribal representative of, traditionally and culturally affiliated California Native American tribes that have requested notice, which shall be accomplished by means of at least one written notification that includes a brief description of the proposed project and its location, the lead agency contact information, and a notification that the California Native American tribe has 30 days to request consultation pursuant to this section.

The NAHC also recommends, but does not require that lead agencies include in their notification letters, information regarding any cultural resources assessment that has been completed on the area of potential affect (APE), such as:

1. The results of any record search that may have been conducted at an Information Center of the California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS), including, but not limited to:

• A listing of any and all known cultural resources have already been recorded on or adjacent to the APE, such as known archaeological sites;
• Copies of any and all cultural resource records and study reports that may have been provided by the Information Center as part of the records search response; • Whether the records search indicates a low, moderate or high probability that unrecorded cultural resources are located in the APE; and
• If a survey is recommended by the Information Center to determine whether previously unrecorded cultural resources are present.

2. The results of any archaeological inventory survey that was conducted, including:
• Any report that may contain site forms, site significance, and suggested mitigation measures.

All information regarding site locations, Native American human remains, and associated funerary objects should be in a separate confidential addendum, and not be made available for public disclosure in accordance with Government Code Section 6254.10.

3. The result of the Sacred Lands File (SFL) check conducted through the Native American Heritage Commission was positive. Please contact the tribes on the attached list for more information.

4. Any ethnographic studies conducted for any area including all or part of the potential APE; and

5. Any geotechnical reports regarding all or part of the potential APE.

Lead agencies should be aware that records maintained by the NAHC and CHRIS is not exhaustive, and a negative response to these searches does not preclude the existence of a tribal cultural resource. A tribe may be the only source of information regarding the existence of a tribal cultural resource.

This information will aid tribes in determining whether to request formal consultation. In the event, that they do, having the information beforehand well help to facilitate the consultation process.

If you receive notification of change of addresses and phone numbers from tribes, please notify the NAHC. With your assistance we can assure that our consultation list remains current.

INTRODUCTION

The Mixed‐Use General Plan Amendment and Rezone Project (“Project”) pertains to five (5) separate sites within the City of Salinas, Monterey County, California and proposes to change the designated land use and zoning of the sites from their current base designations and districts to “Mixed Use” and MX – Mixed Use, respectively. This acoustical a nalysis analyzes the potential impacts that could result from the proposed designated land use s and zoning changes for the sites and provides the results of an ambient noise survey in the project areas.

The proposed designated land use and zoning changes pertain to five individual sites. In most cases each site is comprised of multiple parcels. Figure 1 through Figure 5 provide graphics of the five project site areas. A brief description of each of the five sites are provided below:

 Alisal Marketplace: T h e p r o p o s e d p r o j e c t i s g e n e r a l l y l o c a t e d a d j a c e n t t o E a s t A l isal Street, between Front Street and Griffin Street. The Project site consists of 18 parcels that total approximately 12.1 acres. The project site is currently zoned CR (Commercial Retail) and IGC (Industrial General Commercial).

 Edge of Downtown: The proposed project is generally located north and south to J ohn Street between Front Street and Abbott Street. The Project site consists of eight (8) parcels that total approximately 3.7 acres. The project site is c u r r e n t l y z o n e d C R (Commercial Retail).

 Foods Co Shopping Center: The proposed project is generally located south of East Alisal Street between South Sanborn Road and John Street. The Project site consists of eight (8) p a r c e l s t h a t t o t a l a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 3 . 5 a c r e s . T h e p r o j e c t s i t e i s c u r r e n t l y z o n e d C R (Commercial Retail).

 Laurel West Shopping Center: The proposed project is generally located east of North David Road between West Laurel Drive/Calle Del Adobe and Larkin Street at 1040 North Davis Road, Salinas, CA 93907. The Project site consists of six ( 6 ) p a r c e l s t h a t t o t a l approximately 16.2 acres. The project site is currently zoned CR (Commercial Retail).

 Sears/Northridge Mall: T h e p r o p o s e d p r o j e c t i s g e n e r a l l y l o c a t e d o n t h e n o r t h w e s t c o r n e r o f N o r t h M a i n S t r e e t a n d M a d r i d S t r e e t a t 1 7 0 0 N M a i n S t, Salinas, CA 93906 (“Large Shopping Centers/Sears. The Project site consists of one (1) parcel that totals approximately 10.2 acres. The project site is currently zoned CR (Commercial Retail).

This environmental noise assessment has been prepared to determine if significant noise impacts will be produced by the project and to describe mitigation measu r e s f o r n o i s e i f s i g n i f i c a n t impacts are determined. The environmental noise assessment, pre pared by WJV Acoustics, Inc. (WJVA), is based upon the project information (including project traffic volumes) provided by Precision Engineering, Inc. Revisions to the project traffic information or other project‐related information available to WJVA at the time the analysis was prepared may require a reevaluation of the findings and/or recommendations of the report.

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 3

Specifically, this environmental noise assessment addresses the potential changes in traffic noise exposure to existing sensitive receptor locations, that would likely occur as a result of the proposed project. The analysis also discusses noise sources and noise levels typical of single‐ and multi‐family residential and mixe d‐use residential developments a s w e l l a s a d i s c u s s i o n o f potential noise impacts to proposed residential land uses within the mixed‐use zoning areas.

Appendix A provides definitions of the acoustical terminology u sed in this report. Unless otherwise stated, all sound levels reported in this analysis are A‐weighted sound pressure levels in decibels (dB). A‐weighting de‐emphasizes the very low and v ery high frequencies of sound in a manner similar to the human ear. Most community noise standar ds utilize A‐weighted sound levels, as they correlate well with public reaction to noise. Appendix B provides examples of sound levels for reference.

I n t e r m s o f h u m a n p e r c e p t i o n , a 5 d B i n c r e a s e o r d e c r e a s e i s c on s i d e r e d t o b e a n o t i c e a b l e change in noise levels. Additionally, a 10 dB increase or decrease is perceived by the human ear as half as loud or twice as loud. In terms of perception, generally speaking the human ear cannot perceive an increase (or decrease) in noise levels less than 3 dB.

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 4

NOISE EXPOSURE CRITERIA

The CEQA Guidelines apply the following questions for the assessment of significant noise impacts for a project:
a. Would the project result in generation of a substantial tempora ry or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or ap plicable standards of other agencies?

b. Would the project result in generation of excessive groundborne v i b r a t i o n o r groundborne noise levels?

c. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use p l a n o r , w h e r e s u c h a p l a n h a s n o t b e e n a d o p t e d , w i t h i n t w o m i les of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?

City of Salinas

General Plan
The Noise Element of the City of Salinas General Plan (adopted September 2002) establishes land use compatibility criteria in terms of the Day‐Night Average Le vel (L dn/DNL) for transportation
noise sources. The Ldn is the time‐weighted energy average noise level for a 24‐hour day, with a 10 dB penalty added to noise levels occurring during the nightt ime hours (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.). The L dn represents cumulative exposure to noise over an extended perio d of time and is therefore calculated based upon annual average conditions.

The General Plan Noise Element states “To ensure that noise producers do not adversely affect sensitive receptors, the City uses land use compatibility standards when planning and making development decisions. Table N‐2 summarizes the City noise standards for various types of land uses. The standards represent the maximum acceptable noise level as measured at the property boundary, which is used to determine noise impacts.” Table N‐2 of the General Plan Noise Element is presented below as Table I

Exterior Noise Standards

Designation/District of Property
Receiving Noise
Maximum Noise Level,

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 5 While not explicitly stated in the General Plan, exterior noise standards are typically applied at outdoor activity areas of reside ntial (and otherwise sensitive) land uses. Outdoor activity areas generally include backyards of single‐family residences and ind ividual patios or decks and common outdoor activity areas of multi‐family developments. The intent of the exterior noise level requirement is to provide an acceptable noise environment f o r o u t d o o r a c t i v i t i e s a n d recreation.

T h e G e n e r a l P l a n N o i s e E l e m e n t f u r t h e r s t a t e s “These noise standar ds are the basis for development of the land use compatibility guidelines presented in Table N‐3. If the noise level of a project falls within Zone A or Zone B, the project is considered compatible with the noise environment. Zone A implies that no mitigation will be needed. Z o n e B i m p l i e s t h a t m i n o r mitigation may be required to meet the City's and Title 24 noise standards. All development project proponents are required to demonstrate that the noise standards will be met prior to human occupation of a building.

If the noise level falls within Zone C, substantial mitigation is likely needed to meet City noise standards. Substantial mitigation may involve construction of noise barriers and substantial building sound insulation. Projects in Zone C can be successfully mitigated; however, project proponents with a project in Zone C must demonstrate that the noise standards can be met prior to issuance of a building permit.

If noise levels fall outside of Zones A, B and C, projects are considered clearly incompatible with the noise environment and should not be approved.” Table N‐3 of the General Plan Noise Element is presented below as Table II.

ZONE B • Conditionally Acceptable: New construction or development shall be undertaken only after a detailed noise analysis is made and noise reduction measures are identified and included in the project design. . --
Zone C- Normally Unacceptabl e: New construction or development is discouraged. If new construction is proposed, a detailed analysis is required, noise reduction measures must be identified, and noise insulation features included in the design.

ZONE D- Clearly Unacceptable: New construction or development clearly should not be undertaken. 85 22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 7 The City of Salinas General Plan also provides an interior nois e standard of 45 dB CNEL/L dn. The interior standard is to ensure interior noise levels attributable to exterior sources not exceed 45 dB CNEL (or Ldn) within residential land uses. This is consistent with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations for residential construction and consistent with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The intent of the interior noise level guideline is to provide an acceptable noise environment for indoor communication and sleep.

Additionally, Section 1207.4 of t he California Building Code st ates “Interior noise levels attributable to exterior sources should not exceed 45 dB in any inhabitable room. The noise metric shall be the day‐night average sound level (L dn) or the community noise equivalent level (CNEL), consistent with the noise level of the local general plan.” The section of the California Building Code applies to Hotels and Motels.

EXISTING AMBIENT NOISE LEVELS

WJVA conducted measurements of existing ambient noise levels in the project vicinity on February 1 and February 2, 2023. Long‐term (24‐hour) ambient noise level measurements were conducted at ten (10) locations (sites LT‐1 through LT‐10). Two (2) ambient noise measurement sites were located in each of the five (5) overall project areas.

The intent of the ambient noise survey was to document existing n o i s e l e v e l s i n t h e o v e r a l l project area. A general descripti o n o f e a c h o f t h e t e n a m b i e n t noise measurement sites is provided below. The locations of the ten ambient noise survey locations are provided as Figure 6 through Figure 10.

The long‐ and short‐term ambient noise measurements indicate th e dominant source of noise within the overall project site areas is associated with vehicle traffic on roadways and highways.

Fluctuations in noise levels in the project areas is almost ent irely driven by fluctuation in traffic v o l u m e s . A d d i t i o n a l s o u r c e s o f n o i s e o b s e r v e d a t t h e m a j o r i t y of locations included train operations, industrial/commercial activities and occasional aircraft overflights.

PROJECT-RELATED NOISE ANALYSIS

The project would rezone several parcels of land within five (5 ) areas within the City of Salinas.

The parcels are currently zoned a mixture of Commercial Retail (CR) and Industrial General Commercial (IGC), and would be rezoned as Mixed Use (MX). The change in zoning density would result in a decrease in traffic volumes along roadways in the v icinity of the various mixed‐use zoned parcels. However, existing (and future) traffic noise exp osure levels adjacent to several parcels would likely exceed City of Salinas exterior noise expo sure levels for residentially zoned land uses.

Traffic Noise Exposure

Project‐Related Changes in Traffic Volumes‐
A project‐specific traffic study was not available at the time this analysis was prepared. However, WJVA was provided annual average daily traffic (ADT) volumes associated with the existing zoning (CR and IGC) as well as the proposed zoning (MX). Table IV provides the ADT volumes for the five project areas for both existing and proposed land use zoning.

The above‐described ADT volumes represent the trip generation volumes associated with the land use zoning designations (both existing and proposed), parcel size and estimated number of residential dwelling units (for proposed MX zoning designation). The distribution of these traffic volumes along nearby roadways was not available at the time thi s analysis was prepared.

However, WJVA calculated theoret ical changes in traffic noise a ssociated with these ADT changes, with the assumption that these volumes would occur on one individual roadway for e a c h o f t h e f i v e p r o j e c t a r e a s . T h i s a n a l y s i s i s i n t e n d e d t o p rovide a generalized/qualitative snapshot of overall changes in traffic noise exposure associated with project implementation.

WJVA utilized the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA‐RD‐77‐108). The FHWA Model is a standard analytical method used for roadway traffic noise calculations. The model is based upon reference e nergy emission levels for automobiles, medium trucks (2 axles) and heavy trucks (3 or more axles), with consideration given to vehicle volume, speed, roadway configuration, distance to the receiver, and the

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 14 acoustical characteristics of the site. The FHWA Model was developed to predict hourly Leq values for free‐flowing traffic conditions, and is generally considered to be accurate within ±1.5 dB. To predict Ldn values, it is necessary to determine the hourly distribution o f traffic for a typical day and adjust the traffic volume input data to yield an equivalent hourly traffic volume.

Table V provides the theoretical noise exposure levels associated with project‐related traffic only, and is not intended to provide actual cumulative (project plus non‐project related traffic volumes) traffic noise exposure levels. The traffic noise exposure levels described in Table V were calculated at a reference setback distance of 100 feet from the centerline of a roadway.

However, based upon existing ambient noise levels (as described above), the decrease in traffic volumes would likely not result in any significant overall reduction in traffic noise exposure levels near the f i v e p r o j e c t a r e a s . T a b l e V s h o u l d n o t b e i n t e r p r e t e d a s s u c h that the overall noise exposure w i t h i n t h e s e a r e a s w o u l d d e c r e a s e b y t h e d e s c r i b e d “ c h a n g e ” , a s a r e s u l t o f p r o j e c t implementation.

Traffic Noise Exposure at Proposed Residential Land Uses‐ The City of Salinas exterior noise level standard for residential land uses is 60 dB L dn. Existing noise
exposure at the ten ambient noise survey sites ranged from appr oximately 60‐71 dB L dn. These noise levels represent those at the measurement location only, often in close proximity to nearby roadways. Site specific acoustical analyses will be required once specific site plan design and construction details are provided. Typically, the exterior noise standard would apply at the o u t d o o r a c t i v i t y a r e a s ( b a c k y a r d s o f s i n g l e ‐ f a m i l y r e s i d e n t i a l land uses and outdoor common areas and individual balconies and patios of multi‐family residential land uses). When these locations are known, a site‐specific determination of exterior noise exposure and required mitigation measures should be prepared.

Based upon the ambient noise surv ey, mitigation measures would likely be required at several proposed residential land use sites. Exterior noise mitigation measures would typically include

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 15 increase of setbacks, strategic placement of outdoor activity a reas as well as sound walls. The exact location and heights of sound walls cannot be determined without the preparation of site‐ specific acoustical analyses.

Additionally, the City of Salinas interior noise level standard is 45 dB Ldn. Depending on proximity to roadways, interior noise level standards may exceed the interior noise level standard. Interior noise mitigation would typically be accomplished by means of increased STC‐rated windows, doors and wall assemblies.

Noise From Residential Sources

Noise associated with residential land uses is typically minimal compared to other land uses such as commercial, industrial, etc. Noise sources associated with residential land uses would typically include vehicle movements, noise associated with landscaping activities, human voices, barking dogs, etc. None of these sources would be considered a potential significant noise impact at any existing or planned noise‐sensitive land uses.

Noise Impacts At Proposed Mixed-Use Developments

Mixed‐use land uses would typically include a variety of land u ses including residential, c o m m e r c i a l , r e t a i l a n d o f f i c e u s e s . A w i d e v a r i e t y o f n o i s e s o urces can be associated with commercial and retail land uses. The noise levels produced by s uch sources can also be highly variable and could potentially impact existing on‐site and off‐ site sensitive receptors. From the p e r s p e c t i v e o f t h e C i t y ’ s n o i s e s t a n d a r d s , n o i s e s o u r c e s n o t a ssociated with transportation sources are considered stationary noise sources. Typical examples of s t a t i on a r y n o i s e s ou r c es include:

 Fans and blowers
 HVAC/Mechanical equipment
 Truck deliveries
 Loading Docks
 Compactors
 Amplified Drive‐Thru Menu Board Speakers
 Automated Car Wash Operations

Noise levels from new stationary noise sources cannot be predic ted with any certainty at this time since specific uses have not yet been proposed and the locations of stationary noise sources relative to the locations of noise sensitive uses are not known . However, under some circumstances there is a potential for such uses to exceed the City’s noise standards for stationary noise sources at the locations of sensitive receptors.

Noise levels from new stationary noise sources may be effectively reduced by incorporating noise mitigation measures into the project design that consider the geographical relationship between the noise sources of concern and potential receptors, the noise ‐producing characteristics of the

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 16 sources and the path of transmission between noise sources and sensitive receptors. Options for noise mitigation include the use of building setbacks, the construction of sound walls and the use of noise source equipment enclosures.

When specific uses within the project areas are proposed that could result in a noise‐related conflict between a commercial or other stationary noise source and existing or proposed noise‐ sensitive receptor, an acoustical analysis may be required that quantifies project‐related noise levels and recommends appropriate mitigation measures to achiev e compliance with the City’s noise standards.

22‐64 (Mixed‐Use GPA & Rezone Project, Salinas) 2‐25‐23 17

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The propped Mixed‐Use General Plan Amendment and Rezone project would decrease traffic volumes (and potentially decrease overall noise exposure levels) in the vicinity of the five project areas. However, proposed residential land uses included in the mixed‐use zoning areas could potentially be exposed to exterior and interior noise levels th at exceed the City of Salinas noise standards for residential land uses. Additionally, non‐residential land uses associated with mixed‐ zoning land use designations could include noise sources that c ould result in compatibility concerns with both existing and proposed residential land uses in the project areas. When site‐ specific uses are proposed, site‐specific acoustical analyses (noise studies) may be required if there are potential noise impacts at existing or proposed noise‐sensitive land uses. However, the p r o j e c t i t s e l f w o u l d n o t s p e c i f i c a l l y b e e x p e c t e d t o r e s u l t i n any significant noise impacts to existing noise‐sensitive receptors.

The conclusions and recommendations of this acoustical analysis are based upon the best i n f o r m a t i o n k n o w n t o W J V A c o u s t i c s I n c . ( W J V A ) a t t h e t i m e t h e analysis was prepared concerning the proposed project. Any significant changes to the p r o j e c t m a y r e q u i r e a reevaluation of the findings of this report. Additionally, any significant future changes in motor vehicle technology, noise regulations or other factors beyond WJVA’s control may result in long‐ term noise results different from those described by this analysis.

ACOUSTICAL TERMINOLOGY

AMBIENT NOISE LEVEL: T h e c o m p o s i t e o f n o i s e f r o m a l l s o u r c e s n e a r a n d f a r . I n t h i s c o n t e x t , t h e a m b i e n t n o i s e l e v e l c o n s t i t u t e s t h e n o r m a l o r existing level of environmental noise at a given location.

CNEL: C o m m u n i t y N o i s e E q u i v a l e n t L e v e l . T h e a v e r a g e e q u i v a l e n t sound level during a 24‐hour day, obtained after addition of approximately five decibels to sound levels in the evening from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and ten de cibels to sound levels in the night before 7:00 a.m. and after 10:00 p.m.

DECIBEL, dB: A unit for describing the amplitude of sound, equal to 20 time s the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the pressure of th e sound measured to the reference pressure, which is 20 micropascals (20 micronewtons per square meter).

DNL/L
dn: Day/Night Average Sound Level. The average equivalent sound level during a 24‐hour day, obtained after addition of ten decibels to sound levels in the night after 10:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m.

L
eq: Equivalent Sound Level. The sound level containing the same total energy as a time varying signal over a given sample perio d.

Leq is typically computed over 1, 8 and 24‐hour sample periods.

NOTE: The CNEL and DNL represent daily levels of noise exposure averaged on an annual basis, while Leq represents the average noise exposure for a shorter time period, typically one hour.

L
max: The maximum noise level rec orded during a noise event.

L
n: The sound level exceeded "n" percent of the time during a sample interval (L90, L50, L10, etc.). For example, L 10 e q u a l s t h e l e v e l exceeded 10 percent of the time.

ACOUSTICAL TERMINOLOGY

NOISE EXPOSURE
CONTOURS: Lines drawn about a noise source indicating constant levels o f noise exposure. CNEL and DNL contours are frequently utilized to describe community exposure to noise.

NOISE LEVEL
REDUCTION (NLR): The noise reduction between i ndoor and outdoor environments o r b e t w e e n t w o r o o m s t h a t i s t h e n u m e r i c a l d i f f e r e n c e , i n decibels, of the average sound pr essure levels in those areas o r rooms. A measurement of “noise level reduction” combines the effect of the transmission loss performance of the structure pl us the effect of acoustic absorption present in the receiving room.

SEL or SENEL: Sound Exposure Level or Single Event Noise Exposure Level. T he level of noise accumulated during a single noise event, such as an a i r c r a f t o v e r f l i g h t , w i t h r e f e r e n c e t o a d u r a t i o n o f o n e s e c o n d.

More specifically, it is the time‐integrated A‐weighted squared sound pressure for a stated time interval or event, based on a reference pressure of 20 micropascals and a reference duration of one second.

SOUND LEVEL: The sound pressure level in decibels as measured on a sound l evel meter using the A‐weighting filter network. The A‐weighting filter de‐emphasizes the very low and very high frequency components of the sound in a manner similar to the response of the human ear and gives good correlation with subjective reactions to noise.

SOUND TRANSMISSION
CLASS (STC): The single‐number rating of sound transmission loss for a construction element (window, door, etc.) over a frequency range where speech intelligibility largely occurs.

RE: Trip Generation Analysis for Alisal Mixed Use Rezone DATE: March 3, 2023
The following memo summarizes the trip generation for existing operations on site and the proposed Project. The Average Daily Vehicle Trips (ADT) for th is memo were calculated using data published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition and 11th Edition.

Existing Trip Generation
Table 1 provides the land uses and size of all existing structures on the Project site, as well as the trip generation of each use. 13 different ITE land use codes were used to describe the site’s existing restaurants, pharmacy, commercial ser vices, grocery store, convenience store, gas station, car wash, etc. The existing operations of the Project site is estimated to generate 8,262 ADT.

Trip Generation of Proposed Project
Table 2 provides the Project trip generation pursuant to the proposed project description.

The ITE land use that was used for this analysis is the Mid Rise with Ground Floor Commercial land use (ITE Code 231, 10 th Edition). A Mid Rise with Ground Floor Commercial is a mixed-use multifamily housing building with between four and 10 floors of residential living space and commercial space open to the public on the ground level.

The proposed Project is anticipated to generate 1,771 ADT.

GPA No. 2022-002 requests a land use change from Retail to Mixed-Use. Rezone No. 2022-002 requests a rezone from CR – Commercial Retail to MX – Mixed Use, consistent with the proposed land use designation. The Project site consists of 8 parcels that total approximately 2.9 acres. The purpose of the GPA and Rezone is to provide additional opportunities for housing and mixed -use development, in line with the goals contained in the General Plan and Housing Element. This Project is funded by SB 2 grant funding for the purpose of increasing housing production in the city. This document has been prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Public Resources Code Section 21000 et. seq. The City of Salinas is the Lead Agency for this proposed Project. The site and the proposed Project are described in detail in SECTION 2 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM.

1.1 Regulatory Information
An Initial Study (IS) is a document prepared by a lead agency to determine whether a project may have a significant effect on the environment. In accordance with California Code of Regulations Title 14 (Chapter 3, Section 15000, et seq.), also known as the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064 (a)(1) states that an environmental impact report (EIR) must be prepared if there is substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the proposed Project under review may have a significant effect on the environment a nd should be further analyzed to determine mitigation measures or project alternatives that might avoid or reduce project impacts to less than significant levels.

A negative declaration (ND) may be prepared instead if the lead agency finds that there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. An ND is a written statement describing the reasons why a proposed Project, not otherwise exempt from CEQA, would not have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, why it would not require the preparation of an EIR (CEQA Guidelines Section 15371). According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, a ND or mitigated ND shall be prepared for a project subject to CEQA when either:
a. The IS shows there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the proposed Project may have a significant effect on the environment, or b. The IS identified potentially significant effects, but:

1. Revisions in the proj ect plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant before the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study is released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur is prepared, and

2. There is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the proposed Project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment.

1.2 Purpose of the Initial Study
This Project is funded by SB 2 grant funding for the purpose of providing additional opportunities for housing and mixed-use development, in line with the goals contained in the General Plan and Housing Element. Currently, the site is occupied by a mix of retail and of fice uses (KSBW television station) . Recently, a housing developer has

INITIAL STUDY / MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
August 2023
CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 9 approached the City about building much needed permanent supportive housing on the site. Unfortunately, the current Commercial Retail zoning does not allow for residential development and the Residential Low-Density zoning only allows for minimum residential development . The City considers the Project site to have significant redevelopment potential and proposes to change the land use de signation and zon ing district for 8 parcels that total approximately 3.7 acres to facilitate future mixed -use development. This would extend the mixed -use designation and zoning of the parcels west of the site that fronts John Street to provide greater opportunity for lot assemblage in order to make higher density housing projects economically feasible on the “Edge of Downtown”.

Although no physical development is proposed by the Project, this Initial Study analyzes the potential buildout of the Project site at a programmatic level, using reasonable assumptions so that future development of the site can tier from this Initial Study pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(1) and 15168(d) for evaluations of environmental issues associated with later activities/subsequent projects. However, depending on the final design of future physical development, additional project specific CEQA review may be required as determined by the City through the entitlement review and approval process.

1.3 Document Format
This IS/MND contains five (5) chapters plus appendices. SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION provides bases of the IS/MND’s regulatory information and an overview of the Project. SECTION 2 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM provides a detailed description of Project components. SECTION 3 DETERMINATION concludes that the Initial Study is a mitigated negative declaration, iden tifies the environmental factors potentially affected based on the analyses contained in this IS, and includes with the Lead Agency’s determination based upon those analyses. SECTION 4 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS presents the CEQA checklist and environmental analyses for all impact areas and the mandatory findings of significance. A brief discussion of the reasons why the Project impact is anticipated to be potentially significant, less than significant with mitiga tion incorporated, less than significant, or why no impacts are expected is included.

2.7 General Plan Designation
The Project site has a City of Salinas General Plan (General Plan) land use designation of Retail and Residential Low Density (Figure 2-4). According to the General Plan, the Retail land use designation “provides for a variety of retail uses such as retail stores, restaurants, hotels, personal services, business services and financial services. The maximum intensity of development is a floor area ratio of 0.4. ” The Residential Low Density land use designation “provides for the development of s ingle-family detached and attached homes. The designation allows a maximum density of 8.0 units per net acre.”
The City of Salinas (Applicant) proposes General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2022 -002 to change the land use designation from Retail and Residential Low Density to Mixed Use (Figure 2-5). The purpose of the GPA is to provide additional opportunities for housing and mixed -use development, in line with the goals contained in the General Plan and Housing Element. According to the General Plan, the Mixed Use land use designatio n “allows for development including a mixture of retail, office and residential uses in the same building, on the same parcel or in the same area. The intent of this designation is to create activity centers with pedestrian -oriented uses in certain portions of the City.” This land use designation allows for a maximum residential density of 80 units per acre.

2.8 Zoning
The Project site is in the CR – Commercial Retail and R-L – Residential Low Density zoning districts (Figure 2-6).

According to Section 37-30.190 of the Salinas Municipal Code (SMC), the CR zoning district “allows a wide range of retail stores, restaurants, hotels and motels, commercial recreation, personal services, business services, offices, financial services, mixed use residential, and/or limited residential uses.” According to Section 37-30.040 of the SMC, the R-L zoning district provides appropriately located areas for single -family dwellings, “encourage attractive and interesting single-family residential streetscapes and dwelling units that are pedestrian -oriented and reflect traditional neighborhood design principles”, and “promote safe residential neighborhoods through the incorporation of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) features” . The Project site is also in the Downtown Neighborhood (DN) Area of the Central City (CC) Overlay Zone District. This overlay district includes development regulations and design standards that promote infill housing, innovative retail, live entertainment uses , and pedestrian-oriented neighborhoods.

The City of Salinas (Applicant) proposes Rezone No. 2022-002 to change the zoning district from CR and R-L to MX – Mixed Use (Figure 2-7). The purpose of the Rezone is to provide additional opportunities for housing and mixed- use development, in line with the goals contained in the General Plan and Housing Element. According to SMC Section 37-30.230, the MX zone district “provides opportunities for mixed use, office, public and semipublic uses, and commercial uses that emphasize retail, entertainment, and service activities.” Medium and high-density residential uses are encouraged within MX districts to facilitate pedestrian-oriented activity centers. The proposed zoning district would be consistent with the land use designation, MX – Mixed Use.

On the Project site, all existing uses are permitted in the MX zoning district per SMC Section 37-30.240; however, some existing uses, such as parking lots and structures , may require a Conditional Use Permit for any proposed changes to their use.

2.9 Description of Project
General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2022-002 and Rezone No. 2022-002 are filed by the City of Salinas (Applicant) and pertain to eight parcels that are generally located adjacent to John Street between Abbott Street and Front Street (“Project site”) and altogether total approximately 3.7 acres. The site is identified by the Monterey County Assessor as APNs 002-362-021-000, 002-362-008-000, 002-362-009-000, 002 -362-015-000, 002-362-017-000, 002-362-019-000, 002-362-020-000, and 002 -382-072-000. GPA No. 2022 -002 requests a land use change from Retail and Residential Low Density to Mixed-Use. Rezone No. 2022-002 requests a rezone from CR – Commercial Retail and R-L – Residential Low Density to MX – Mixed Use, consistent with the proposed land use designation. No physical development is proposed.

Project Assumptions
This Project is funded by SB 2 grant funding for the purpose of providing additional opportunities for housing and mixed-use development, in line with the goals contained in the General Plan and Housing Element. Currently, the site is occupied by a mix of retail and office uses . Recently, a housing developer has approached the city about building much needed permanent supportive housing on the site. Unfortunately, the current Commercial Retail zoning does not allow for residential development and the Residential Low-Density zoning only allows for minimum residential development. The city considers the Project site to ha ve significant redevelopment potential and proposes to change the land use designation and zon ing district to facilitate future mixed -use development. This would extend the mixed-use land use and zoning designation of the parcels to the west of the site that front John Street, providing greater opportunity for lot assemblage in order to make higher density housing projects economically feasible on the “Edge of Downtown.”
Although no physical development is proposed by the Project, this Initial Study analyze s the potential buildout of the Project site at a programmatic level, using reasonable assumptions so that future development of the site can tier from this Initial Study pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(1) and 15168(d) for evaluations of environmental issues associated with later activities/subsequent projects. However, depending on the final design of future physical development, additional project specific CEQA review may be required as determined by the City through the entitlement review and approval process.

For the purposes of the analysis contained in this Initial Study, the vision for the Project site is mixed -use development containing mixed use buildings, whereby a “mixed use building” is defined as “a structure containing both residential and pedestrian-oriented commercial uses (including retail, restaurants, offices, services, and similar uses deemed compatible with residential uses)” pursuant to SMC Section 37-10.370. In mixed-use buildings, t he commercial use or uses are typically located on the ground floor of the structure with the residential dwellings predominantly located on the second or higher floors.

Therefore, the assumed “project” to be analyzed in this Initial Study is a mixed-use development containing four- story mixed use buildings with commercial uses located on the ground floor and residential dwellings on the second and higher floors on a Project site that totals approximately 3.7 acres, or 161,172 square feet (sf.) of site area. The following Project assumptions are consistent with the development standards contained in SMC Section 37-30.250. • The estimated commercial buildout potential is approximately 161,172 sf. of ground floor commercial, which is based on a 1.0 floor area ratio (FAR) to allow for the maximum residential density permitted in the CC Overlay District (calculation: 161,172 multiplied by 1.0 FAR = 161,172 sf.).

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 21 • The estimated residential buildout potential is approximately 296 residential dwelling units, which is based on the maximum residential density allowed with a 1.0 FAR in the CC Overlay District (calculation: 80 units multiplied by 3.7 acres = 296 units). The resulting residential density is 80 dwelling units per acre (296 dwelling units divided by 3.7 acres = 80).
• Based on buildout assumptions of commercial sf. and residential units, an estimated 699 parking stalls would be required pursuant to SMC Section 37 -50.360 (calculation: 161,172 sf. divided by 400 sf. plus 296 dwelling units = 699 parking stalls).

2.10 Project Setting and Surrounding Land Uses
Project Setting
The Project site is currently fully developed and paved , containing existing structures and on - and off -site improvements including drive approaches, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, utilities, and landscaping. There are approximately four (4) existing structures on the site that predominately consist of retail and office uses (Table 2-1).

The aerial image of the Project site is shown in Figure 2-2. Street frontage includes John Street, a four (4)-lane east- west major arterial, Abbott Street, a six (6)-lane north-south major arterial, and Front Street, a two (2)-lane local street. The existing biotic conditions and resources of the site can be defined primarily as urban landscaping with heavy alteration and disturbance given the existing retail and office uses. There are existing trees and shrubs throughout the site. No water features are present.

Surrounding Land Uses
The Project site is generally surrounded by a mix of retail, residential, commercial, and industrial uses. As referenced in Table 2-2, properties to the north and east are planned and zoned for commercial and light industrial uses.

Properties south and west are planned and zoned for residential and mixed uses. Abbott Street, a six-land major arterial, serves as a defining line between the residential and mixed use parcels and the commercial and light industrial parcels.

2.11 Other Public Agencies Whose Approval is Required
The Project would require approval by the City of Salinas City Council. No perm its would be required from other agencies for approval of the Project. However, future redevelopment of the Project site would require review,

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 22 permits, and/or approvals, such as grading, building, encroachment, and sign permits. Other approvals may be required as identified through the entitlement review and approval process.

2.12 Consultation with California Native American Tribes The State requires lead agencies to consider the potential effects of proposed projects and consult with California Native American tribes during the local planning process for the purpose of protecting Traditional Tribal Cultural Resources through the CEQA Guidelines. Pursuant to PRC Section 21080.3.1 , the lead agency shall begin consultation with the California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographical area of the proposed project. Such significant cultural resources are either sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a tribe which is either on or eligible for inclusion in the California Historic Register or local historic register, or, the lead agency, at its discretion, and support by substantial evidence, choose to treat the resources as a Tribal Cultural Resources (PRC Section 21074(a)(1-2)).

According to the most recent census data, California is home to 109 currently recognized Indian tribes.

Conducting consultation early in the CEQA process allows tribal governments, lead agencies, and project proponents to discuss the level of environmental review, identify and address potential adverse impacts to tribal cultural resources, and reduce the potential for delay and conflict in the environmental review process. (See PRC Section 21083.3.2.) Information may also be available from the California Native American Heritage Commission’s Sacred Lands File per PRC Section 5097.96 and the California Historical Resources Information System administered by the California Office of Historic Preservatio n. Please also note that PRC Section 21082.3(c) contains provisions specific to confidentiality.

A consultation list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places located within Monterey County was requested and received from the California Native A merican Heritage Commission (NAHC) on April 8, 2022. The listed tribes include Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Mission San Juan Bautista, Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe, Esselen Tribe of Monterey County, Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Cost anoan, Ohlone/Costanoan- Esselen Nation, Wuksache Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band, Xolon-Salinan Tribe, and Runsen Am:a Tur:ataj Ohlone.

The NAHC also conducted a Sacred Lands File (SFL) search which was positive.

The City of Salinas conducted formal tribal consultation pursuant to AB 52 (Chapter 532, Statutes 2014) and SB 18 (Chapter 905, Statutes 2004) on June 14, 2022, utilizing the consultation list of tribes received from the NAHC. The same nine (9) tribes listed above were included in the formal consul tation. Consultation for AB 52 ended on July 14, 2022, and consultation for SB 18 ended on September 12, 2022. Chairperson Louise Miranda -Ramirez of the Ohlone/Costanoan-Esselen Nation requested formal consultation on September 13, 2022. Formal consultation was held by telephone on June 21, 2023. Eight (8) mitigation measures were requested through the formal consultation, as listed below and incorporated in Section 4.5 and Section 4.18. No response was received from the other tribes.

CUL-1 Historical Resources Identification and Treatment Plan Prior to permit approval for development on the Project site, a historical resources evaluation shall be completed for that individual site to confirm if existing buildings and/or structures withing these sites qualify as historical resources as defined by Section 15064.5(a) of CEQA Guidelines. The evaluation shall be prepared by a qualified architectural historian or historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards (PQS) in architectural history or history. The qualified architectural historian or historian shall conduct an intensive -level evaluation in accordance with the guidelines and best practices promulgated by the State Office of Historic

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 23 Preservation to identify any potential historical resources within the proposed project area. All properties 45 years of age or older shall be evaluated within their historic context and documented in a report meeting the State Office of Historic Preservation guidelines. All evaluated properties shall be documented on Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 Forms. The report shall be submitted to the City for review and concurrence.

Any relocation, rehabilitation, or alteration of the resource shall be implemented consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatments of Historic Properties (Standards). In accordance with CEQA, a project that has been determined to conform with the Standards generally would not cause a significant adverse direct or indirect impact to historical resources (14 CCR Section 15126.4[b][1]). Application of the Standards shall be overseen by a qualified architectural historian or historic architect meeting the PQS. In conjunction with any development application that may affect the h istorical resource, a report identifying and specifying the treatment of character - defining features and construction activities shall be provided to the City for review and concurrence, in addition to the historical resources evaluation.

If significant h istorical resources are identified on a development site and compliance with the Standards and or avoidance is not feasible, the applicant or developer shall provide a report explaining why compliance with the Standards and or avoidance is not feasible for the City’s review and approval. Site-specific mitigation measures shall be established and undertaken, including, but not limited to, documentation of the historical resource in the form of a Historic American Buildings Survey-Like report. The report shall be commissioned by the project applicant or their consultant to comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation and shall generally follow the Historic American Buildings Survey Level III requirements , including digital photographic recordation, detailed historic narrative report, and compilation of historic research. The documentation shall be completed by a qualified architectural historian or historian who meets the PQS and submitted to the City prior to issuance of any permits for demolition or alteration of the historical resource.

CUL-2 Phase I Cultural Resources Study
Prior to the issuance of any grading or construction permits for each individual site, a Phase I cultural resources study shall be performed by a qualified professional meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI’s) Professional Qualification Standards (PQS) for archaeology (National Park Service 1983). The Phase I cultural resources study shall include a pedestrian survey of the project site when appropriate and sufficient background research and field sampling to determine whether archaeological resources may be present. Archival research shall include a records search of the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) no more than two years old and a Sacred Lands File search with the NAHC. The Phase I technical report documenting the study shall include recommendations that shall be implemented prior to and/or during construction to avoid or reduce impacts to archaeological resourc es.

Recommendations may include, but would not be limited to, archaeological construction monitoring, sensitivity training, or additional testing and mitigation (outlined in Mitigation Measures CUL -3 through CUL -7). The report shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of any grading or construction permits.

The City shall include recommendations in the Phase I technical report as Conditions of Approval to be implemented throughout all ground disturbance activities. The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC.

CUL-3 Extended Phase I Testing
If recommended by the Phase I study for each individual site (Mitigation Measure CUL-2), the project applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to conduct an Extended Phase I (XPI) study to determine the presence/absence and

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 24 extent of archaeological resources on the project site. XPI testing shall include a series of shovel test pits and/or hand augured units and/or mechanical trenching to establish the boundaries of archaeological site(s) on the project site.

If the boundaries of the archaeological site are already well understood from previous archaeological work, an XPI will not be required. All archaeological excavation shall be conducted by a qualified archaeologist(s) under the direction of a principal investigator meeting the SOI’s PQS for archa eology (National Park Service 1983). If an XPI report is prepared, it shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of a grading or construction permit. Recommendations therein shall be implemented for all ground disturbance activities.

Recommendations may include, but would not be limited to, site avoidance, Phase II Site Evaluation, Cultural Resources Monitoring, and/or measures for unanticipated discoveries (outlined in Mitigation Measures CUL-4, CUL- 5, CUL-7, and CUL-8). The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC.

CUL-4 Archaeological Site Avoidance
Any identified archaeological sites (determined after implementing Mitigation Measures CUL -2 and/or CUL -3) or archaeological resources encountered during ground -disturbing activities shall be avoided by project -related construction activities, where feasible. A barrier (temporary fencing) and flagging shall be placed between the work location and any resources within 60 feet of a work location to minimize the potential for inadvertent impacts. If the resource cannot be avoided, Mitigation Measure CUL-5 shall be implemented.

CUL-5 Phase II Site Evaluation
If the results of any Phase I and/or XPI for each individual site (Mitigation Measures CUL -2 and/or CUL-3) indicate the presence of archaeological resources that cannot be avoided by the project (Mitigation Measure CUL-4) and that have not been adequately evaluated for the NRHP or CRHR listing at the project site, the qualified archaeologist shall conduct a Phase II investig ation to determine if intact deposits remain and if they may be eligible for the CRHR or qualify as unique archaeological resources. If the archaeological resource(s) of concern are Native American in origin, the qualified archaeologist shall confer with the City and local California Native American tribe(s).

A Phase I evaluation shall include any necessary archival research to identify significant historical associations and mapping of surface artifacts, collection of functionally or temporally diagnostic tools and debris, and excavation of a sample of the cultural deposit. The sample excavation would be carried out to characterize the nature of the site(s), define the artifact and feature contents, determine horizontal and vertical boundaries, and retriev e representative samples of artifacts and other remains.

If the archaeologist and, if applicable, a Native American monitor or other interested tribal representative determine it is appropriate, cultural materials collected from the site shall be processed and analyzed in a laboratory according to standard archaeological procedures. The age of the materials shall be determined using radiocarbon dating and/or other appropriate procedures; lithic artifacts, faunal remains, and other cultural materials shall be identified and analyzed according to current professional standards. The significance of the site(s) shall be evaluated according to the criteria of the CRHR and if applicable, NRHP. The results of the investigations shall be presented in a technical report following the standards of the California Office of Historic Preservation publication “Archaeological Resource Management Reports: Recommended Content and Format (1990 or latest edition).” Recommendations in the Phase II report shall be implemented fo r all ground disturbance activities. Recommendations may include, but would not be limited to, Phase III Data Recovery, Cultural Resources Monitoring, and/or measures for unanticipated discoveries (outlined in Mitigation Measures CUL -6 through CUL -8). The report shall be submitted to the City for review and

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 25 approval prior to the issuance of any grading or construction permits. The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC.

CUL-6 Phase III Data Recovery
Should the results of the Phase II site evaluation for each individual site (Mitigation Measure CUL-5) yield resources that meet CRHR significance standards and if the resource cannot be avoided by project construction in accordance with CUL-4, the project applicant shall ensure that all feasible recommenda tions for mitigation of archaeological impacts are incorporated into the final design and approved by the City prior to construction. Any necessary Phase III data recovery excavation, conducted to exhaust the data potential of significant archaeological si tes, shall be carried out by a qualified archaeologist meeting the SOI’s PQS for archeology (National Park Service 1983). Data recovery shall be conducted in accordance with a research design reviewed and approved by the City, prepared in advance of fieldw ork, and using the appropriate archaeological field and laboratory methods consistent with the California Office of Historic Preservation Planning Bulletin 5 (1991), Guidelines for Archaeological Research Design, or the latest edition thereof. If the archaeological resource(s) of concern are Native American in origin, the qualified archaeologist shall confer with the City and local California Native American tribe(s).

As applicable, the final Phase III Data Recovery reports shall be submitted to the City prior to issuance of any grading or construction permit. Recommendations contained therein shall be implemented throughout all ground disturbance activities. Recommendations may include, but would not be limited to, Cultural Resources Monitoring, and/or measures for unanticipated discoveries (outlined in Mitigation Measures CUL-7 and CUL-8). The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC upon completion.

CUL-7 Cultural Resources Monitoring
If recommended by Phase I, XPI, Phase II, or Phase III studies for each individual site (Mitigation Measures CUL -2, CUL-3, CUL-5, and/or CUL-6), the project applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor project-related, ground-disturbing activities which may include the following but not limited to: grubbin g, vegetation removal, trenching, grading, and/or excavations. The archaeological monitor shall coordinate with any Native American monitor as required. Monitoring logs must be completed by the archaeologist daily. Cultural resources monitoring may be reduced for the project if the qualified archaeologist finds it appropriate to reduce the monitoring efforts.

Upon completion of ground disturbance for the project, a final report must be submitted to the City for review and approval documenting the monitoring efforts, cultural resources find, and resource disposition. The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC.

CUL-8 Unanticipated Discovery of Cultural Resources
If archaeological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work within 50 feet shall be halted and the project archaeologist meeting the SOI’s PQS for archeology (National Park Service 1983) shall immediately to evaluate the find pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. If necessary, the evaluation may require preparation of a treatment plan and archaeological testing for CRHR eligibility. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA and cannot be avoided by the project, additional work may be warranted, such as data recovery excavation, to mitigate any significant impacts to significant resources. If the resource is of Native American origin, implementation of Mitigation Measures TCR -1 may be required. Any reports required to document and/or evaluate unanticipated discoveries shall be submitted to the City for review and approval and submitted to the NWIC

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 26 after completion. Recommendations contained therein shall be implemented throughout the remainder of ground disturbance activities.

TCR-1 Inadvertent Discoveries During Construction
In the event that cultural resources of Native American origin are identified during grading or construction, all earth disturbing work within the vicinity of the find shall be temporarily suspended or redirected until a qualified archaeologist has evaluated the nature and significance of the find; an appropriate Native American representative, based on the nature of the find, is consulted; and mitigation measures are put in place for the disposition and protection of any find pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. If the City, in consultation with local Native Americans, determines that the resource is a tribal cultural resource and thus significant under CEQA, a mitigation plan shall be prepared and implemented in accordance with state guidelines and in consultation w ith local Native American group(s) prior to continuation of any earth disturbing work within the vicinity of the find. The plan shall include avoidance of the resource or, if avoidance of the resource is infeasible, shall outline the appropriate treatment of the resource in coordination with the appropriate local Native American tribal representative and, if applicable, a qualified archaeologist. Examples of appropriate mitigation for tribal cultural resources include, but are not limited to, protecting the cultural character and integrity of the resource, protecting traditional use of the resource, protecting the confidentiality of the resource, or heritage recovery.

4.1.1 Environmental Setting
The Project site is currently fully developed and paved, containing existing structures and on - and off -site improvements including drive approaches, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, utilities, and landscaping (see Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2). There are approximately four (4) existing structures on the site that predominately consist of low-rise buildings that are mostly contemporary with uniform massing, non -descript facades, with parking lots between the structures and adjacent to street frontage. Street frontage includes John Street, a four (4)-lane east- west major arterial, Abbott Street, a six (6) -lane north-south major arterial, and Front Street, a two (2) -lane local street. The Project site is generally surrounded by a mix of retail, residential, commercial, and industrial uses. A thin horizontal line of the Coastal Mountain Ranges can be seen to the east and south, but the view is obstructed by Highway 101, the flat topography of the site, and intervening development.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 32 General Plan
The Salinas General Plan Community Design Element helps to protect and enhance the image and identity of Salinas by addressing the visual improvement of the major entrances to the community, the maintenance of sharply defined urban/agricultural edges, and the preservation and enhancement of view corridors from Highway 101.

Highway 101 is the primary “view corridor” identified by the General Plan. The primary views from Highway 101 include: agricultural views, views of Northridge Shopping Center, Auto Center, and Westridge Shopping Center, and Carr Lake. No other vista points or resources are identified.

General Plan policies applicable to the visual appearance and character of the city include:

Policy CD-1.10: Require a balance of housing types and designs to avoid both monotony and visual chaos.

Policy CD -2.1: Maximize a strong sense of neighborhood identity and harmony by implementing architectural design and community layout techniques, such as building location and spacing, landscaping features, and lighting that create distinct neighborhoods, encourage interactions amo ng residents, and facilitate safe street life.

Policy CD-2.2: Minimize potential light and sound impacts of new development on surrounding areas.

Policy CD -2.3: Require infill development to be consistent with the scale and character of existing neighborhoods.

Policy CD-2.6: Preserve architecturally important historic buildings that are capable of being adapted for viable use.

Policy CD-2.7: Minimize the use and visual effect of sound attenuation walls.

Policy CD-2.8: Avoid large un-landscaped parking areas and blank building walls facing streets or adjoining properties.

Municipal Code
SMC Section 37.50.480 – Outdoor Lighting contains enforceable requirements for all new development intended to prevent light and glare impacts.
(a) Outdoor lighting shall employ cutoff optics that allows no light emitted above a horizontal plane running through the bottom of the fixture. Parking lots shall be illuminated to no more than an average maintained two and four -tenths footcandles at ground l evel with uniform lighting levels. All building -mounted and freestanding parking lot lights (including the fixture, base, and pole) shall not exceed a maximum of twenty- five feet (a maximum of forty feet in the IG district) in height in all districts. Illumination at an R or NU (NE, NG-1, and NG-2) district property line shall not exceed one-half footcandle maximum. Lighting adjacent to other property or public rights -of-way shall be shielded to reduce light trespass. No portion of the lamp (including the lens and reflectors) shall extend below the bottom edge of the lighting fixture nor be visible from an adjacent property or public right -of-way. A point to point lighting plan showing horizontal illuminance in footcandles and demonstrating compliance with t his section shall be submitted for review and approval prior to issuance of a building permit.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 33 (e) Lighting in the focused growth overlay district, central city overlay (downtown core area) district, mixed use (MU), and new urbanism (NU) districts shall be supplemented by the lighting standards and regulations specified for these districts.

California Scenic Highway Program
The California Scenic Highway Program was established in 1963 with the purpose of protecting and enhancing the natural scenic beauty of California highways and adjacent corridors, through special conservation treatment. A highway may be designated scenic depending upon how much of the natural landscape can be seen by travelers, the scenic quality of the landscape, and the extent to which development intrudes upon the traveler's enjoyment of the view. There are no officially designated State Scenic Highways in the City of Salinas, inclusive of the Project area. However, State Route 68 (SR 68) is an eligible State Scenic Highway. 1 This eligible scenic highway is adjacent to the Project site; in this portion of the city, the highway is identified as “John Street.”

4.1.2 Impact Assessment
Except as provided in PRC Section 21099, would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. The Project site is located to the west of Highway 101. Because the site is located to the west of Highway 101, visibility of scenic vistas such as the Coastal Mountain Ranges from Highway 101 are not impacted. A thin horizontal line of the Coastal Mountain Ranges can be seen to the east of the Project site, but the view is obstructed by Highway 101, the flat topography of the site, existing structures on the site, and intervening development.

Furthermore, the General Plan does not identify or designate scenic vistas or views within the general vicinity of the Project site. As a result, the Project would not adversely affect scenic vistas and no impact would occur because of the Project.
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
Less than Significant Impact. According to the California State Scenic Highway Program, there are no officially designated State Scenic Highways in the City of Salinas. SR 68 has been identified as potentially eligible for the State Scenic Highway Designation, which runs adjacent to the Project site as John Street. However, as shown in Figure 4-1, properties with frontage on John Street are fully developed with structures and landscaping . Changes to structures (e.g., renovations, demolition, modifications) built 45 or more years ago would require determination of eligibility for the California Register (or the Local Register of Historic Resources) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.4(d)(1) as discussed in Section 4.4 . If structures are deemed historic, then any potential adverse effects to it sha ll be considered pursuant to PRC Section 21084.1 and Section 21083.2(I). Compliance with Mitigation Measure CUL-1 would mitigate for destruction or alternation of any potential historical structures . As such, the proposed Project would not damage scenic resources, including trees, rock out-croppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway and a less than significant impact would occur as a result of the Project.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 34 c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is in an urbanized area surrounded by existing development. Although no physical development is proposed, future development of the Project site would be subject to the entitlement review and approval process through the City of Salinas. Through this process, future development would be subject to compliance with app licable policies and regulations that govern scenic quality including but not limited to the General Plan, SMC, and California Building Code. Compliance would ensure that future development of the site would not conflict with applicable zoning and other re gulations governing scenic quality. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact. Generally, lighting impacts are associated with artificial lighting in evening hours either through interior lighting from windows or exterior lighting (e.g., street lighting, parking lot lighting, landscape lighting, cars, and trucks). Although no physical development is proposed, future development of the Project site would incrementally increase the amount of light from streetlights, exterior lighting, and vehicular headlights. Such sources could create adverse effects on day or nighttime views in the area. Future development would be subject to site development standards contained in SMC Section 37-50.480 – Outdoor Lighting, specifically sub-section (a) which contains specific, enforceable requirements intended to prevent light and glare impacts, and sub-section (e) which refers to additional lighting standards for MX zoning districts. In addition, future development would be required to comply with Title 24 lighting requirements which would also reduce impacts related to nighttime light.

The Title 24 lighting requirements cover outdoor spaces including regulations for mounted luminaires (i.e., high efficacy, motion sensor controlled, time clocks, energy management control systems, etc.). As such, conditions imposed on future development by the City pursuant to the SMC and Title 24 would reduce light and glare impacts to a less than significant impact.

4.2.1 Environmental Setting
The Project site is located within the Salinas city limits and is planned and zoned for retail and residential uses. The Project site is currently fully developed and paved, containing existing structures and on- and off-site improvements including drive approaches, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, utilities, and landscaping. There are approximately four existing structures on the site that predominately consist of retail and office uses. Street frontage includes John Street, a four-lane east-west major arterial, Abbott Street, a six -lane north-south major arterial, and Front Street, a two-lane local street. The existing biotic conditions and resources of the site can be defined primarily as urban landscaping with heavy alteration and disturbance given the existing urbanized uses. There are existing trees and shrubs throughout the site. No water features are present. Lastly, the Project site does not contain any agricultural or forestry resources such as agricultural land, forest land, or timberland.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 36 Farmland Monitoring and Mapping Program
The California Department of Conservation manages the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) that provides maps and data for analyzing land use impacts to farmland. The FMMP produces the Important Farmland Finder as a resource map that shows quality (soils) and land use information. Agricultural land is rated according to soil quality and irrigation status, in addition to many other physical and chemical characteristics. The highest quality land is called “Prime Farmland” which is defined by the FMMP as “farmland with the best combination of physical and chemical features able to sustain long term agricultural production. This land has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date.2 Maps are updated every two years. According to the FMMP, California Important Farmland Finder, the Project site, and all properties in its immediate vicinity are classified as “Urban and Built-Up Land.”3 California Land Conservation Act
The California Land Conservation Act of 1965 (i.e., the Williamson Act) allows local governments to enter contracts with private landowners to restrict parcels of land agricultural or open space uses. In return, property t ax assessments of the restricted parcels are lower than full market value . The minimum length of a Williamson Act contract is 10 years and automatically renews upon its anniversary date; as such, the contract length is essentially indefinite. The Project site is not subject to the Williamson Act.

4.2.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
e) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use?
No Impact. According to the FMMP, the Project site is designated as “Urban and Built-Up Land.” As such, the Project site is not located on lands designated as “Prime Farmland,” “Unique Farmland,” or “Farmland of Statewide Importance.” Therefore, the Project would not convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance to non-agricultural use and no impact would occur. f) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The Project site is not zoned for agricultural use and is not subject to the Williamson Act. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract and no impact would occur.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 37 g) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? No Impact. The Project site does is not planned or zoned for f orest land or timberland. Further, the Project site would not cause the rezoning of forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. As a result, the Project would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land, timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production and no impact would occur.
h) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. The Project site does not contain forest land and is not planned or zoned for forest land or forest uses.

Implementation of the Project would therefore not result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. As a result, no impact would occur.
i) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, du e to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No impact. The Project site is planned and zoned for urban uses and does not contain agricultural or forestry uses or resources. The properties in the vicinity of the Project site are also planned and zoned for urban uses and do not contain agricultural or forestry uses or resources. According to the FMMP, California Important Farmland Finder, the Project site and the properties in its immediate vicinity are classified as “Urban and Built-Up Land.” Therefore, future development of the Project site with mixed use development would be generally consistent with the existing environment of the surrounding, urbanized and non-agricultural or forestry uses. As a result, the Project would not involve other changes in the existing environment that could result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Therefore, no impact would occur because of the Project.

4.3.1 Environmental Setting
The proposed Project is located within the North Central Coast Air Basin (NCCAB), which is formed by the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD). The Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) oversees air quality regulations across Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito counties. The NCCAB is in nonattainment status for the State ozone (O3) and inhalable particulates (PM10) pollutants, and in attainment for all other state and federal pollutants. The MBARD developed CEQA Air Quality Gu idelines to assist local jurisdictions and lead agencies in complying with the requirements of CEQA regarding potential impacts to air quality. 4 This guidance document also includes recommended thresholds of significance to be used for the evaluation of short-term construction, long- term operational, odor, toxic air contaminant, and cumulative air quality impacts. The MBARD also adopted an Air Quality Management Plan 5 (AQMP) focused on achieving the State’s ozone standard , and updating air quality trends analysis, emission inventory, and mobile source programs.

Thresholds of Significance
Accordingly, the MBARD-recommended thresholds of significance (i.e., CEQA Air Quality Guidelines) are used to determine whether implementation of the proposed Project would result in a significant air quality impact.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 39 health and welfar e. Section 5.6 of the guidelines determines a less than significant impact is appropriate if all following criteria are met:
(1) Under Criteria Air Pollutants thresholds:
(2) No violation of any other State or national AAQS;
(3) Consistent with the Air Quality Management Plan;
(4) No other significant adverse impacts (e.g., create objectionable odors; alter air movement, moisture, temperature, or climate).

Each of these criteria is further described as follows. (1) Criteria Air Pollutants : The MBARD-adopted thresholds of significance for criteria air pollutants are shown in Table 4-1. The thresholds of significance are based on a per day basis. These thresholds are utilized in the impact assessment to determine whether the proposed Project would result in significant impa cts. The following summarizes these thresholds:

Short-Term Emissions of Particulate Matter (PM 10): Construction impacts would be considered less than significant if the project e mits less than 82 lb/day of PM 10 or will not cause a violation of PM 10 AAQS at existing receptors; and the equipment used is “typical construction equipment”.

Long-Term Emissions of Particulate Matter ( PM10): Operational impacts associated with the proposed Project would be considered less than significant if the project directly emits less than 82 lb/day of PM 10 on-site or will not cause a violation of PM 10 AAQS or contribute 82 lb/day to an existing or projected violation at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors.

Long-Term Emissions of Ozone Precursors (ROG and NOX) : Operational impacts associated with the proposed Project would be considered less than significant if the project directly emits less than 137 lb/day of VOC or NOx.

Long-Term Emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO): Operational impacts associated with the proposed Project would be considered less than significant if the project directly emits less than 550 lb/day of CO or will not cause a violation of CO AAQS at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors; Long-Term Emissions of Sox: Operational impacts associated with the proposed Project would be considered less than significant if the project directly emits less than 150 lb/day of SOx or will not cause a violation of SO2 AAQS at existing or reasonably foreseeable receptors.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 40 (2) Conflict with or Obstruct Implementation of Applicable Air Quality Plan: Due to the region’s nonattainment status for ozone and PM10, if the project-generated emissions of either of the ozone precursor pollutants (i.e., ROG and NO x) or PM 10 would exceed the MBARD’s significance thresholds, then the project would be considered to conflict with the attainment plans. In addition, if the project would result in a change in land use and corresponding increases in population generation, housing, or employment growth exceeding 2015 AQMP forecasts, the project may conflict with the AQMP . Consistency with population forecasts is based on countywide forecasts and not individual cities. Further, the AQMP utilizes forecasts adopted by the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG).
(3) Odors: The intensity of an odor source’s operations and its proximity to sensitive receptors influences the potential significance of odor emissions. Specific land uses that are considered sources of undesirable odors include landfills, transfer stations, composting facilities, sewage treatment plants, wastewater pump stations, asphalt batch plants and rendering plants. MBARD’s Guidelines identify pollutants associated with objectionable odors to include sulfur compound and methane. Typical sources of odors include landfills, rendering plants, chemical plants, agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, and refineries. 6 Odor impacts would be significant if the project emits pollutants in substantial amounts that cause nuisance or endanger the public’s health and safety, thus analysis should assess impacts on existing or foreseeable sensitive receptors. (4) Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs): The California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) provides guidance on CEQA and health risk assessments for projects. According to the CAPCOA Guidance document titled “Health Risk Assessments for Proposed Land Use Projects,” there are two types of land use project that have the potential to cause long-term public health risk impacts. 7 These project types are as follows:
• Type A: Land use projects with toxic emissions that impact receptors, and • Type B: Land use project that will place receptors in the vicinity of existing toxics sources.

In this Guidance document, Type A projects examples are (project impacts receptors):
• combustion related power plants,
• gasoline dispensing facilities,
• asphalt batch plants,
• warehouse distribution centers,
• quarry operations, and
• other stationary sources that emit toxic substances.

Similarly, MBARD’s CEQA Air Quality Guidelines established criteria for significance for TACs. A project would have a significant impact if it were located ne ar a sensitive receptor near an unregulated source of TAC emission, such as diesel-fuel fueled vehicles parking, gas stations, and dry cleaners. For construction, equipment or processes that emit non-carcinogenic TACs could result in significant impacts and emissions of carcinogenic TAC that can result in

Methodology
MBARD’s Guidelines recommend using the CalEEMod software program to calculate project emissions. CalEEMod is a statewide model designed to provide a uniform platform for government agencies, land use planners, and environmental professionals to quantify potential criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from land use projects. The model quantifies direct emissions from construction and operation (including vehicle use), as well as indirect emissions, such as emissions from energy use, solid waste disposal, vegetation planting and/or removal, and water use. The model also identifies mitigation measures to reduce criteria pollutant and GHG emissions. The Project’s construction and operational emissions were estimated using the Californ ia Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), version 2020.4.0.
(1) CalEEMod Assumptions: Although no specific development project is currently proposed, s hort-term construction and long -term operational GHG emissions for the Project were estimated using CalEEMod TM (v.2020.4.0) (See Appendix A for output files) with the following assumptions:
• The Project site is 3.7 acres, or 161,172 sf.
• The estimated commercial buildout potential is approximately 161,172 sf. of ground floor commercial, which is based on a 1.0 floor area ratio (FAR) to allow for the maximum residential density permitted in the CC Overlay District (calculation: 161,172 multiplied by 1.0 FAR = 161,172 sf.). In CalEEMod, this use is modeled as the “Strip Mall” land use, which is a use that contains a variety of retail shops and specialize in quality apparel, hard goods, and services such as real estate offices, dance studios, florists, and small restaurants. • The estimated residential buildout potential is approximately 296 residential dwelling units, which is based on the maximum residential density allowed with a 1.0 FAR in the CC Overlay District (calculation: 80 units multiplied by 3.7 acres = 296 units). The resulting residential density is 80 dwelling units per acre (296 dwelling units divided by 3.7 acres = 80). In CalEEMod, this use is modeled as the “Apartments Mid Rise” land use (apartment buildings between 3 to 10 levels).
• Based on buildout assumptions of commercial sf. and residential units, an estimated 699 parking stalls would be required pursuant to SMC Section 37 -50.360 (calculation: 161,172 sf. divided by 400 sf. plus 296 dwelling units = 699 parking stalls).
• In addition, most CalEEMod default factors were utilized. Note: the model assumes simultaneous buildout of all parcels.

4.3.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less than Significant Impact. The applicable air quality plan is the MBARD’s 2012-2015 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). A project could be inconsistent with the AQMP if: 1) the project-generated emissions of either of the ozone precursor pollutants (ROG, NOx) or PM 10 would exceed th e MBARD’s significan ce thresholds and 2) the project would result in a change of land use and corresponding increases in population generation, housing, or employment growth exceeding 2015 AQMP forecasts.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 42 For the proposed Project, operational and construction-related emissions of criteria air pollutants were estimated using CalEEMod. As shown in Table 4-2, estimated total operational emissions for ROG, NOx, and PM10 are below all significance thresholds. Further, as shown in Table 4-3, estimated total construction-related emissions for PM10 are below the significance threshold. For these reasons, it can be determined that the Project-generated emissions would not exceed the MBARD’s significance thresholds and therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.

While the Project would result in a change of land use, it would not generate corresponding increases in population generation, housing, or employment growth that exceeds 2015 AQMP forecasts. Although no physical development is proposed, the Project site could yield up to 161,172 square feet of commercial use and 296 residential units, which would generate approximately 469 employees and 1,228 residents (See Section 4.14). As described in Section

4.14, these increases are within the 2015 AQMP forecasts. Therefore, it can be determined that the Project would not result in a change of land use and corresponding increases in population generation, housing, or employment growth that would exceed 2015 AQMP forecasts. As a result, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project.

Overall, the Project-generated emissions of either of the ozone precursor pollutants or PM10 would not exceed the MBARD’s significance thresholds, and the Project would not result in a change of land use and correspo nding increases in population generation, housing, or employment growth exceeding 2015 AQMP forecasts. For these reasons, it can be determined that the Project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan and a less than significant impact would occur. b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Operational and construction-related emissions of criteria air pollutants were estimated for the proposed Project using CalEEMod.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 43 Operational Emissions
Operational activities such as vehicle trips, use of natural gas and electricity, consumer products, architectural coatings, and landscape maintenance equipment can generate long-term mobile, energy, and area-type emissions.

Operational emissions were estimated using CalEEMod, assuming an operational date/assumed buildout of the site by end of year 2025. This assumption provides a conservative estimate for operational emissions as it is likely that parcels within the Project site would be developed independently and at varying time intervals. As shown in Table 4-2, estimated total operational-related emissions are below all MBARD significance thresholds. Because emissions are below these thresholds, the Project can be presumed to have a less than significant impact.

Construction Emissions
Construction activities such as excavation, grading, and on -site vehicles generate emissions that represent temporary impacts that are typically short in duration, dep ending on the size, phasing, and type of project.

According to MBARD’s CEQA Guidelines, construction activities which directly generate 82 pounds per day or more of PM10 would have a significant impact on local air quality when they are located nearby and upwind of sensitive receptors. If modeling demonstrates that direct emissions under individual or cumulative conditions would not cause the exceedance of the PM 10 significance thresholds at existing receptors as averaged over 24 hours, the impact would not be considered significant.

Construction emissions were estimated using CalEEMod, assuming a three (3)-year buildout of all parcels within the Project site simultaneously. This assumption provides a conservative estimate for construction emissions as it is likely that parcels within the Project site would be developed independently and at varying time intervals. As shown in Table 4-3, estimated total construction -related emissions for PM 10 are below the 82 pounds per day significance threshold. Because emissions are below this threshold, the Project can be presumed to have a less than significant impact. However, to further ensure that emissions of future development of the Project site are below the significance threshold, the Project shall incorporate Mitigation Measure AQ-1 and Mitigation Measure AQ -2.

Through incorporation, the Project would have a less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated.

Lastly, future development resulting from Project implementation would be reviewed and conditioned by the MBARD for compliance with applicable rules and regulations including but not limited to Rule 20 0 (Permits Required), Rule 400 (Visible Emissions), Rule 403 (Particulate Matter), Rule 402 (Nuisance), Rule 425 (Use of Cutback Asphalt), and Rule 4 26 (Architectural Coatings). Thus, compliance with MBARD’s rules would further reduce emissions during operations and/or construction activity.

Overall, the anticipated development of the Project site would not have potential emissions of regulated criterion pollutants that exceed the MBARD adopted thresholds. Incorporation of Mitigation Measure AQ-1 and Mitigation Measure AQ -2 and compliance with MBARD’s rules would further reduce emissions. Consequently, the Project would result in a less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated.

Mitigation Measure AQ-1: Construction Air Quality. During construction, the applicant or successor in interest for each individual site shall:
• Limit grading to 8.1 acres per day, and limit grading and excavation to 2.2 acres per day. • Provide watering trucks on site to maintain adequate soil moisture during grading and water graded/excavated areas at least twice daily, thus minimizing dust generation. In addition, the

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 44 water trucks shall be used to wash down trucks and tractors, including earth loads, prior to entering public roadways.
• Prohibit all grading activities whenever wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour (mph). • Maintain a minimum of two feet for freeboard for all haul trucks. • Cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand, or loose materials. • Cover inactive storage piles.
• Enforce a 15 -mph speed limit for all unpaved surfaces when visible dust clouds are formed by vehicle movement.
• Place gravel base near site entrances to clean tires prior to entering public roadways.

Mitigation Measure AQ-2: MBARD Health Risk Consultation. Prior to issuance of any grading permit and/or building permit for each individual site, the applicant or successor in interest shall consult with MBARD regarding the potential need for a diesel health risk assessment (HRA). If required, the applicant or successor in interest shall prepare a diesel HRA and shall implement the measures contained therein to ensure that project-specific emissions are below MBARD’s established health risk thresholds: hazard index greater than 1 for acute or chronic impacts, and cancer risk greater than 10 in one million for long -term operational emissions or 1 per 100,000 population for temporary construction-related emissions. Measures may include, but would not be limited to:
• Use of diesel-fueled equipment equipped with Tier 4 (or Tier 3 if the Tier 4 standard is unavailable) USEPA engine standards. The USEPA estimates that Tier 4 engines would reduce PM emissions by approximately 90 percent compared to the USEPA Tier 2 standards (USEPA 2008). • Retrofit off -road diesel equipment with Verified Diesel Emissions Control Strategy (VDECS) like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Particulate Matter level 3 VDECS can provide at least an 85 percent reduction (CARB 2015).
• Use alternatively fueled (e.g., natural gas) diesel construction equipment, including all off-road and portable diesel-powered equipment.
• Use electrically driven equipment that is not powered by a portable generator set. • Limit the hours of operation for heavy -duty equipment and/or limit the quantity of heavy-duty equipment operating at the same time.
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less than Significant Impact. Sensitive receptors are defined as people that have an increased sensitivity to air pollution or environmental contaminants. Sensitive receptor s include schools, parks and playgrounds, day care centers, nursing homes, hospitals, and residential dwelling units. The nearest sensitive receptors to the Project site are a motel located approximately 5 fee t south of the site and multi-family residences located approximately 15 feet south of the site. As stated under criterion a) above, emissions during construction or operation would not reach the significance thresholds and would not be anticipated to result in concentrations that reach or surpass ambient air quality requirements. Further, anticipated development that would result from Project implementation would not be uses that would generate toxic emissions (i.e., Type A uses identifi ed by the CAPCOA guidelines).

Therefore, the Project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations and a less than significant impact would occur.
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 45 Less than Significant Impact. Construction activities may emit temporary odors from exhaust and fumes associated with vehicles and equipment. Such odors would be short -term and cease upon completion. In addition, discharge of air contaminants or other materials that would cause a nuisance or detriment to a considerable number of persons or the public would be prohibited through compliance with MBARD Rule 402. Therefore, construction activities would not result in other emi ssions adversely affecting a substantial number of people and a less than significant impact would occur.

Specific uses and operations that are considered sources of undesirable odors include landfills, transfer stations, composting facilities, sewage tr eatment plants, wastewater pump stations, asphalt batch plants and rendering plants. The Project would not consist of such land uses; rather, implementation of the proposed Project would facilitate mixed use development, including residential and commercial uses that are unlikely to produce odors that would be considered to adversely affect a substantial number of people. Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.

4.4.1 Environmental Setting
The Project site is located within the Salinas city limits and is planned and zoned for retail and residential uses. The Project site is currently fully developed and paved, containing existing structures and on- and off-site improvements including drive approaches, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, utilities, and landscaping. There are approximately four existing structures on the site that predominately consist of retail and office uses. Street frontage includes John Street, a four -lane east-west major arterial, Abbott Street, a six -lane north-south major arterial, and Front Street, a two-lane local street. The existing biotic conditions and resources of the site can be defined primarily as urban landscaping with heavy alteration and disturbance given the existing uses. There are existing trees and shrubs throughout the site. No water features are present.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife – Special-Status Species Database The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) operates an “Information for Planning and Consultation” (IPaC) database, which is a project planning tool for the environmental review process that provides general information on the location of special-status species that are “known” or “expected” to occur ( note: the database does not pro vide occurrences; refer to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife – Natural Diversity Database below). 8 i
Specifically, the IPaC database identifies 13 endangered species in Salinas including: California condor, Least Bell’s Vireo, Southwestern Wi llow Flycatcher, Yellow -billed Cuckoo, California Red -legged Frog, California Tiger Salamander, Monarch Butterfly, Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp, Contra Costa Goldfields, Marsh Sandwort, Monterey Gilia, Monterey Spineflower, and Yandon’s Piperia.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife – Critical Habitat Report
Once a species is listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, NOAA Fisheries is required to determine whether there are areas that meet the definition of Critical Habitat. Per NOAA Fisheries, Critical Habitat is defined as:
• Specific areas within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time of listing that contain physical or biological features essential to conservation of the species and that may require special management considerations or protection; and
• Specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species if the agency determines that the area itself is essential for conservation. 9
The process of Critical Habitat designation is complex and involves the consideration of scientific data , public and peer review, economic, national security, and other relevant impacts.

According to the Critical Habitat for Threatened & Endangered Species Report updated February 1, 2023, the City of Salinas, inclusive of the Project site and its immediate vicinity (0.5 -mile radius from the site) are not located within a federally designated Critical Habitat. 10 No critical habitats are identified in the city limits.

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service – National Wetlands Inventory The USFWS provides a National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) with detail ed information on the abundance, characteristics, and distribution of U.S. wetlands. A search of the NWI shows no federally protected wetlands (including but not limited to marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) on the Project site or within the immediate vici nity (0.5-mile radius) of the Project site.11 The NWI does not identify any water features within the Project site. The closest water feature identified is a 0.6-acre R2UBHx riverine habitat, Alisal Creek, approximately 0.4 miles east of the Project site. R2UBHx indicates Riverine System (R) of a lower perennial (2) with an unconsolidated bottom (UB) that is permanently flooded (H) and has been excavated by humans (x) (i.e., canal). Additionally, the Project site is not within or adjacent to a riparian area nor does the site contain water features.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WATERS GeoViewer provides a GeoPlatform based web mapping application of water features by location. According to the WATERS GeoViewer, there are no surface water features on or immediately adjacent to the Project site, including streams, canals, pipelines, waterbodies, coastlines, or catchments. 12
California Department of Fish and Wildlife – Natural Diversity Database The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) operates the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB), which is an inventory of the status and locations of rare plants and animals in California in addition to the reported occurrences of such species.13 According to the CDFW CNDDB, there are 38 special-status species with a total of 75 occurrences that have been observed and reported to the CDFW in or near the Salinas Quad as designated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) (the Salinas Quad includes most of the City of Salinas, inclusive of the Project site). Of the 38 species, there are seven (7) federally or state -listed species: tricolored blackbird, California tiger salamander, Monterey spineflower, seaside bird-beak, Monterey gilia, Contra Costa goldfields, and California red- legged frog.7F

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 51 California Fish and Game Code
Sections 3503, 3503.5, and 3513 of the California Fish and Game Code specifically protect native birds and raptors.

Mitigation for avoidance of impacts to nesting birds is typically necessary to comply with these Sections of the Fish and Game Code in CEQA. 15
• Section 3503: It is unlawful to take, possess, or needlessly destroy the nest or eggs of any bird, except as otherwise provided by this code or any regulation made pursuant thereto. • Section 3503.5: It is unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the orders Falconi formes or Strigiformes (birds-of-prey) or to take, possess, or destroy the nest or eggs of any such bird except as otherwise provided by this code or any regulation adopted pursuant thereto. • Section 3513: It is unlawful to take or possess any migratory nongame bird as designated in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or any part of such migratory nongame bird except as provided by rules and regulations adopted by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the Migratory Treaty Act.

General Plan
The Ecologic al and Biological Resources Element of the Salinas General Plan provides policies to protect and enhance significant ecological and biological resources within the City. The General Plan iden tifies resources including Salinas River, Carr Lake, Carr Lake tributaries and sloughs, and the reclamation ditch that provide riparian habitat for a variety of species. Figure 4-4 from the General Plan ident ifies vegetative communities in the city’s planning area. The Project site is not located in an area with an identified vegetative community. A policy included in the General Plan that may be applicable to the Project site is:

Policy COS-20 Oak Tree Retention. Require project developers to retain coast live oak and valley oak trees within the planning area, including oaks within new development areas. A ll coast live oak and valley oak trees should be surveyed prior to construction to determine if any raptor nests are present and active. If active nests are observed, the construction should be postponed until the end of the fledgling.

City of Salinas Municipal Code
The City of Salinas Municipal Code Chapter 35 - Trees and Shrubs, establishes standards for the planting of trees, plants, or shrubs. Applicable regulations include:

Section 35-14 – Trees, etc., to be protected during construction . During the erection, repair or alteration of any building, house or structure in the city, no person in charge of such work shall leave any tree, shrub or plant in any street, parkway or alley in the city in the vicinity of such building or structure without such good and sufficient guards or protectors as shall prevent injury to such tree, shrub or plant arising out of or by reason of the erection, repair or alteration.

Section 35 -18 – Heritage and/or landmark trees . No heritage or landmark Oak tree shall be removed from city property except with the prior written approval by the director.

4.4.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The Project site is fully developed and paved, containing existing structures and on - and off -site improvements including drive approaches, curb, gutter, sid ewalk, streetlights, utilities, and landscaping. There are approximately four existing structures on the site that predominately consist of retail and office uses. The existing biotic conditions and resources of the site can be defined primarily as urban landscaping with heavy alteration and disturbance given the existing retail and office uses. There are existing trees and shrubs throughout the site. No water features are present.

As shown in Table 4-4, there are no recorded occurrences of special-status species or critical habitats on the Project site. In addition, as described in Table 4-5, the site conditions provide low suitability for habitat for any candidate, sensitive, or special-status species that may occur on the Project site or vicinity. However, the existing trees an d shrubs throughout the site could provide habitat for birds and raptors that are protected under CFGC Sections 3503 and 3503.5. Future development of the site could result in the removal of this vegetation and thereby impact protected nesting birds through direct habitat modifications.

Therefore, to reduce impacts to protected nesting birds that may occur during site construction and development, the Project shall incorporate Mitigation Measure BIO -1. Through incorporation of the mitigation measure, potentially significant impacts would be reduced to less than significant with mitigation incorporated and the Project would not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the CDFW or USFWS.

Mitigation Measure BIO-1: Nesting Bird Surveys and Avoidance. The Project shall implement the following measures to mitigate for loss of nesting habitat of the Project in compliance with the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and relevant Fish and Game Codes:
• Avoidance. In order to avoid impacts to nesting raptors and migratory birds, the Project will be constructed, if feasible, from September 16th and January 31st, which is outside the avian nesting season. • Preconstruction Surveys. If Project activities must occur during the nesti ng season (February 1 -September 15), a qualified biologist will conduct preconstruction surveys for active raptor and migratory bird nests within 10 days prior to the start of these activities. The survey will include the proposed work area(s) and surrounding lands within 500 feet, where accessible, for all nesting raptors and migratory birds. If no active nests are found within the survey area, no further mitigation is required. • Establish Buffers. Should any active nests be discovered near proposed work ar eas, no disturbance buffers of 250 feet around active nests of non -listed bird species and 500 feet around active nests of non -listed raptors will be established. If work needs to occur within these no disturbance buffers, a qualified biologist will monito r the nest daily for one week, and thereafter once a week, throughout the duration of construction activity. Should the nature of construction activity significantly change, such that a higher level

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 54 of disturbance will be generated, monitoring will occur daily for one week and then resume the once-a-week regime. If, at any time, the biologist determines that construction activity may be compromising nesting success, construction activity within the designated buffer will be altered or suspended until the bi ologist determines that the nest site is no longer susceptible to deleterious disturbance. b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service?
No Impact. According to the General Plan and CDFW and USFWS databases, there are no known riparian habitats or other sensitive natural communities identified on the Project site or within the immediate vicinity of the Project.

In addition, the site does not contain any water features that would provide habitat for riparian species. Further, the site consists of scant vegetation. For these reasons, it can be determined that the Project site does not provide any riparian or sensitive natural community habitat and thus, no impact would occur because of the Project. c) Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. Based on the search of the NWI, the Project site does not contain any federally protected wetlands. As a result, it can be determined that t he Project site would not result in any impact on state or federally protected wetlands and no impact would occur because of the Project. d) Would the project interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
Less than Significant Impact. Wildlife movement corridors are linear habitats that function to connect two or more areas of significant wildlife habitat. These corridors may function on a local level as links between small habitat patches (e.g., streams in urban settings) or may provide critical connections between regionally significant habitats (e.g., deer movement corridors).

Wildlife corridors typically include vegetation and topography that facilitate the movements of wild life from one area of suitable habitat to another, in order to fulfill foraging, breeding, and territorial needs. These corridors often provide cov er and protection from predators that may be lacking in surrounding habitats. Wildlife corridors generally include riparian zones and similar linear expanses of contiguous habitat.

As previously mentioned, the Project site does not contain habitat that cou ld support wildlife species in nesting, foraging, or escaping from predators. This is based on the existing conditions of the site including the site’s heavy alteration and lack of cover, vegetation, or water features. Due to these conditions, it can be determined that the Project would not interfere with wildlife movement and a less than significant impact would occur. e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
Less than Significant Impact. SMC Chapter 35 - Trees and Shrubs establishes standards and regulations related to the planting, maintenance, and removal of trees and shrubs in the City of Salinas . Planting, maintenance, and removal of existing trees on the Project site would be subject to compliance with these standards and regulations.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 55 There are no other local policies or ordinances that protect biological resources applicable to the Project. Through compliance, the Project would have a less than significant impact. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact. There are no adopted Habitat Conservation Plans, Natural Community Conservation Plans, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plans applicable to the Project site. As such there would be no impact.

4.4.3 Mitigation Measures
The Project shall implement and incorporate, as applicable, the Biological Resources related mitigation measure BIO-1 as identified above and in the MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM contained in SECTION

4.5.1 Environmental Setting
Generally, the term ‘cultural resources’ describes property types such as prehistoric and historical archaeological sites, buildings, bridges, roadways, and tribal cultural resources. As defined by CEQA, cultural resources are considered “historical resources” that meet criteria in Section 15064.5(a) of the CEQA Guidelines. If a Lead Agency determines that a project may have a significant effect on a historical resource, then the project is determined to have a significant impact on the environment. No further environmental review is required if a cultural resource is not found to be a historical resource.

California Historical Resource Information System Record Search The Northwest Information Center (NWIC) was requested to conduct a California Historical Resources Information System (CHRIS) Record Search for the Project site and surrounding “Project Area” (0.5-mile radius from perimeter of Project site). Results of the CHRIS Record Search were provided on April 14 , 2022 (Record Search File Number 21-1461). Full results are provided in Appendix C.

The CHRIS Record Searches generally review file information based on results of Class III pedestrian reconnaissance surveys of project sites conducted by qualified individuals or consultant firms which are required to be submitted, along with official state forms properly completed for each identified resource, to the Regional Archaeological Information Center. Guidelines for the format and content of all types of archaeological reports have been developed by the California Office of Historic Preservation, and reports will be reviewed by the regional information centers to determine whether they meet those requirements.

The results of the SJJIC CHRIS Record Search indicate:
(1) There were no previous cultural resource studies conducted within the project area. (2) There are no recorded archaeological resources or historical buildings and structures within the project area.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 57 (3) The State Office of Historic Preservation Built Environment Resources Directory (OHP BERD), which includes listings of the California Register of Historical Resources, California State Historical Landmarks, California State Points of Historical Interest, and the National Register of Historic Places, lists no previously recorded buildings or structures within or adjacent to the proposed project area.

Further, the NWIC provided the following comments and recommendations:
(1) Prior to any future development and ground disturbance activities, a qualified, professional consultant should conduct a field survey to determine if cultural resources are present. (2) Contact the NAHC for a list of Native American tribes that can assist with information regarding traditional, cultural, and religious heritage values.
(3) If the proposed project area contains buildings or structures that meet the minimum age requirement (45 years of age or older), prior to commencement of project activities, it is recommended that the unrecorded building or structure be documented on Office of Historic Preservation’s DPR 523 resourc e recordation forms by a professional familiar with the architecture and history of Monterey County. (4) Mitigate for archaeological resources that could potentially be encountered during construction.

California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC)
A consultation list of tribes with traditional lands or cultural places located within Monterey County was requested and received from the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) on April 7, 2022. The listed tribes include Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Mission San Juan Bautista, Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe, Esselen Tribe of Monterey County, Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan, Ohlone/Costanoan - Esselen Nation, Wuksache Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band, Xolon-Salinan Tribe, and Runsen Am:a Tur:ataj Ohlone.

The NAHC also conducted a Sacred Lands File (SFL) check which received positive results. Correspondence is provided in Appendix D.

AB 52 and SB 18 Tribal Consultation
The City of Salinas conducted formal tribal consultation pursuant to AB 52 (Chapter 532, Statutes 2014) and SB 18 (Chapter 905, Statutes 2004) on June 14, 2022, utilizing the consultation list of tribes received from the NAHC. The same nine (9) tribes list ed above were included in the formal consultation. Consultation for AB 52 ended on July 14, 2022, and consultation for SB 18 ended on September 12, 2022. Chairperson Louise Miranda -Ramirez of the Ohlone/Costanoan-Esselen Nation requested formal consultation on September 13, 2022. Formal consultation was held by telephone on June 21, 2023. Eight (8) mitigation measures were requested through formal consultation, as incorporated in Section 4.5 and Section 4.18. No response was received from the other tribes.

General Plan
The Salinas General Plan Conservation/Open Space Element identifies the following policies related to historic and cultural resources.

Policy COS-13 California Environmental Quality Act. Continue to assess development proposals for potential impacts to sensitive historic, archaeological, and paleontological resources pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 58 a. For structures that potentially have historic significance, require that a study be conducted by a professional archaeologist or historian to determine the actual significance of the structure and potential impacts of the proposed development in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5. The City may require modification of the project and/or mitigation measures to avoid any impact to a historic structure, when feasible. b. For all development proposals within the Carr Lake/Natividad Creek corridor, require a study to be conducted by a professional archaeologist. The objective of the study is to determine if sig nificant archaeological resources are potentially present and if the project will significantly impact the resources. If significant impacts are identified, the City may require the project to be modified to avoid the impacts, or require mitigation measure s to mitigate the impacts. Mitigation may involve archaeological investigation and resources recovery.

Policy COS-14 Historic/Architectural Preservation. Consider implementing a historic/architectural preservation program and a historic/architectural preservation ordinance that encourages public/private partnerships to preserve and enhance historically significant buildings in the community.

The General Plan also identifies the Carr Lake/Natividad Creek corridor and the northwest portion of the city’s planning area on either side of Highway 101 as areas having high potential of containing archeological si tes.

Monterey County requires archeological field inspections prior to all proposed development in high sensitivity zones. The Project site is not within a high sensitivity zone (see Figure 4-5).

City of Salinas Historic Resources Board
The Historic Resources Board (HRB) was created on April 27, 2010, by the City Council’s adoption of Ordinance # 2505. The HRB was tasked by the Council to protect Salinas’ architectural heritage assets for education, community revitalization and the promotion of heritage tourism. 16 SMC Chapter 3 Article 2 – Historic Resources Board codifies the operations of the HRB. For instance, Section 3-02.05 – Designation process allows the board to recommend the promotion, preservation, restoration, and protection of historic resources to the City Council . Other sections regulate designation amendment, powers of City Council, maintenance and repair, enforcement, and incentives for historic preservation.

4.5.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5? Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Based on the CHRIS Records Search conducted on April 14, 2022, there are no known local, state, or federal designated historical resources pursuant to Sect ion 15064.5 on the Project site. While there is no evidence that historical resources exist on the Project site, there is some possibility that existing structures qualify as historical resources or hidden, and buried resources may exist with no surface evidence that may be impacted by future physical development of the site. While the Project does not propose development, future redevelopment may include typical construction activities such as demolition of existing buildings, grading, trenching, excavatio n, etc. In order to ensure that the existing structures are not of historical significance at the time of demolition, the Project shall incorporate Mitigation Measure CUL -1 to mitigate the destruction or alternation of any potential historical structures. Thus, if such resources were discovered, implementation of the required mitigation measures would reduce the impact to less than significant. As a result, the Project would have a less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated.

Mitigation Measure CUL-1 Historical Resources Identification and Treatment Plan Prior to permit approval for development on the Project site, a historical resources evaluation shall be completed for that individual site to confirm if existing buildings and/or structures withing these sites qualify as historical resources as defined by Section 15064.5(a) of CEQA Guidelines. The evaluation shall be prepared by a qualified architectural historian or historian who meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualificatio ns Standards (PQS) in architectural history or history. The qualified architectural historian or historian shall conduct an intensive -level evaluation in accordance with the guidelines and best practices promulgated by the State Office of Historic Preservation to identify any potential historical resources within the proposed project area. All properties 45 years of age or older shall be evaluated within their historic context and documented in a report meeting the State Office of Historic Preservation guid elines. All evaluated properties shall be documented on Department of Parks and Recreation Series 523 Forms. The report shall be submitted to the City for review and concurrence.

Any relocation, rehabilitation, or alteration of the resource shall be imple mented consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatments of Historic Properties (Standards). In accordance with CEQA, a project that has been determined to conform with the Standards generally would not cause a significant advers e direct or indirect impact to historical resources (14 CCR Section 15126.4[b][1]). Application of the Standards shall be overseen by a qualified architectural historian or historic architect meeting the PQS. In conjunction with any development application that may affect the historical resource, a report identifying and specifying the treatment of character - defining features and construction activities shall be provided to the City for review and concurrence, in addition to the historical resources evaluation.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 61 consultant to comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Architectural and Engineering Documentation and shall generally follow the Historic American Buildings Survey Level III requirements, including digital photographic recordation, detailed historic narrative report, and compilation of historic research. The documentation shall be completed by a qualified architectural historian or historian who meets the PQS and submitted to the City prior to issuance of any permits for demolition or alteration of the historical resource. b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. Based on the CHRIS Records Search conducted on April 14, 2022, there are no known archeological resources pursuant to Section 15064.5 on the Project site. While there is no evidence that archeological resources exist on the Project site, there is some possibility that existing structures qualify as historical resources or hidden, and buried resources may exist with no surface evidence that may be impacted by future physical development of the site. In the event of the accidental discovery and recognition o f previously unknown historical resources before or during construction activities, the Project shall incorporate Mitigation Measure CUL -2 through CUL -8 as described below to assure construction activities do not result in significant impacts to any potential archeological resources discovered above or below ground surface. Thus, if such resources were discovered, implementation of the required mitigation measures would reduce the impact to less than significant. As a result, the Project would have a less than significant impact with mitigation incorporated.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2 Phase I Cultural Resources Study Prior to the issuance of any grading or construction permits for each individual site, a Phase I cultural resources study shall be performed by a qualified professional meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI’s) Professional Qualification Standards (PQS) for archaeology (National Park Service 1983). The Phase I cultural resources study shall include a pedestrian survey of the project site whe n appropriate and sufficient background research and field sampling to determine whether archaeological resources may be present. Archival research shall include a records search of the Northwest Information Center (NWIC) no more than two years old and a Sacred Lands File search with the NAHC. The Phase I technical report documenting the study shall include recommendations that shall be implemented prior to and/or during construction to avoid or reduce impacts to archaeological resources.

Mitigation Measure CUL-3 Extended Phase I Testing
If recommended by the Phase I study for each individual site (Mitigation Measure CUL-2), the project applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to conduct an Extended Phase I (XPI) study to determine the presence/absence and extent of archaeological resources on the project site. XPI testing shall include a series of shovel test pits and/or hand augured units and/or mechanical trenching to establish the boundaries of archaeological site(s) on the project site.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 62 report is prepared, it shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of a grading or construction permit. R ecommendations therein shall be implemented for all ground disturbance activities.

Mitigation Measure CUL-4 Archaeological Site Avoidance
Any identified archaeological sites (determined after implementing Mitigation Mea sures CUL-2 and/or CUL -3) or archaeological resources encountered during ground -disturbing activities shall be avoided by project -related construction activities, where feasible. A barrier (temporary fencing) and flagging shall be placed between the work location and any resources within 60 feet of a work location to minimize the potential for inadvertent impacts. If the resource cannot be avoided, Mitigation Measure CUL-5 shall be implemented.

Mitigation Measure CUL-5 Phase II Site Evaluation
If the results of any Phase I and/or XPI for each individual site (Mitigation Measures CUL -2 and/or CUL-3) indicate the presence of archaeological resources that cannot be avoided by the project (Mitigation Measure CUL-4) and that have not been adequately evaluated for the NRHP or CRHR listing at the project site, the qualified archaeologist shall conduct a Phase II investigation to determine if intact deposits remain and if they may be eligible for the CRH R or qualify as unique archaeological resources. If the archaeological resource(s) of concern are Native American in origin, the qualified archaeologist shall confer with the City and local California Native American tribe(s).

A Phase I evaluation shall include any necessary archival research to identify significant historical associations and mapping of surface artifacts, collection of functionally or temporally diagnostic tools and debris, and excavation of a sample of the cultural deposit. The sample excavation would be carried out to characterize the nature of the site(s), define the artifact and feature contents, determine horizontal and vertical boundaries, and retrieve representative samples of artifacts and other remains.

If the archaeologist and, if applicable, a Native American monitor or other interested tribal representative determine it is appropriate, cultural materials collected from the site shall be processed and analyzed in a laboratory according to standard archaeological procedures. The age of the materials shall be determined using radiocarbon dating and/or other appropriate procedures; lithic artifacts, faunal remains, and other cultural materials shall be identified and analyzed according to current professional standards. The significance of the site(s) shall be evaluated according to the criteria of the CRHR and if applicable, NRHP. The results of the investigations shall be presented in a technical report following the standards of the California Office of Historic Preservation publication “Archaeological Resource Management Reports: Recommended Content and Format (1990 or latest edition).” Recommendations in the Phase II report shall be implemented for all ground disturbance activities. Recommendations may include, but would not be limited to, Phase III Data Recovery, Cultural Resources Monitoring, and/or measures for unanticipated discoveries (outlined in Mitigation Measures CUL -6 through CUL -8). The report shall be submitted to the City for review and approval prior to the issuance of any grading or construction permits. The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 63 Mitigation Measure CUL-6 Phase III Data Recovery
Should the results of the Phase II site evaluation for each individual site (Mitigation Measure CUL-5) yield resources that meet CRHR significance standards and if the resource cannot be avoided by project construction in accordance with CUL-4, the project applicant shall ensure that all feasible recommendations for mitigation of archaeological impacts are incorporated into the final design and approved by the City prior to construction. Any necessary Phase III data recovery excavation, conducted to exhaust the data potential of significant archaeological sites, shall be carried out by a qualified archaeologist meeting the SOI’s PQS for archeology (National Park Service 1983). Data recovery shall be conducted in accordance with a research design reviewed and approved by the City, prepared in advance of fieldwork, and using the appropriate archaeological field and laborat ory methods consistent with the California Office of Historic Preservation Planning Bulletin 5 (1991), Guidelines for Archaeological Research Design, or the latest edition thereof. If the archaeological resource(s) of concern are Native American in origin, the qualified archaeologist shall confer with the City and local California Native American tribe(s).

As applicable, the final Phase III Data Recovery reports shall be submitted to the City prior to issuance of any grading or construction permit. Recomme ndations contained therein shall be implemented throughout all ground disturbance activities. Recommendations may include, but would not be limited to, Cultural Resources Monitoring, and/or measures for unanticipated discoveries (outlined in Mitigation Measures CUL-7 and CUL-8). The final report shall be submitted to the NWIC upon completion.

Mitigation Measure CUL-7 Cultural Resources Monitoring
If recommended by Phase I, XPI, Phase II, or Phase III studies for each individual site (Mitigation Measures C UL-2, CUL-3, CUL-5, and/or CUL-6), the project applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to monitor project-related, ground-disturbing activities which may include the following but not limited to: grubbing, vegetation removal, trenching, grading, a nd/or excavations. The archaeological monitor shall coordinate with any Native American monitor as required. Monitoring logs must be completed by the archaeologist daily. Cultural resources monitoring may be reduced for the project if the qualified archaeo logist finds it appropriate to reduce the monitoring efforts.

Mitigation Measure CUL-8 Unanticipated Discovery of Cultural Resources If archaeological resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work within 50 feet shall be halted and the project archaeologist meeting the SOI’s PQS for archeology (National Park Service 1983) shall immediately to evaluate the find pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.2. If necessary, the evaluation may require preparation of a treatment pl an and archaeological testing for CRHR eligibility. If the discovery proves to be significant under CEQA and cannot be avoided by the project, additional work may be warranted, such as data recovery excavation, to mitigate any significant impacts to significant resources. If the resource is of Native American origin, implementation of Mitigation Measures TCR -1 may be required. Any reports required to document and/or evaluate unanticipated discoveries shall be submitted to the City for review and approval and submitted to the NWIC after completion. Recommendations contained therein shall be implemented throughout the remainder of ground disturbance activities.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 64 c) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? Less Than Significant Impact. There is no evidence that human remains exist on the Project site. Nevertheless, there is some possibility that a non -visible buried site may exist and may be uncovered during ground disturbing construction activities which would constitute a significant impact. If any human remains are discovered during construction, then the Project would be subject to CCR Section 15064.5(e), PRC Section 5097.98, and California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5. Regulations contained in these sections address and protect human burial remains. Compliance with these regulations would ensure impacts to human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries, are less than significant.

4.5.3 Mitigation Measures
The Project shall implement and incorporate, as applicable, the Cultural Resources related mitigation measures CUL-1 through CUL -8 as identified above and in the MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM contained in SECTION 5.

4.6.1 Environmental Setting
The California Energy Commission updates the Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Parts 6 and 11) every three years as part of the California Code of Regulations. The standards were established in 1978 in an effort to reduce the state’s energy c onsumption. They apply to new construction of, and additions and alterations to, residential and nonresidential buildings and relate to various energy efficiencies including but not limited to ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting.12F
17 The California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), Part 11, Title 24, California Code of Regulations, was developed in 2007 to meet the state goals for reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions pursuant to AB32. CALGreen covers five (5) categories: planning and design, energy efficiency, water efficiency and conservation, material and resource effici ency, and indoor environmental quality. 13F 18 The 2019
Building Energy Efficiency Standards went into effect on January 1, 2020. Additionally, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) oversees air pollution control efforts, regulations, and programs that contribute to reduction of energy consumption. Compliance with these energy efficiency regulations and programs ensures that development will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy sources. Lastly, the Energy Action Plan (EAP) for California was approved in 2003 by the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC). The EAP established goals and next steps to integrate and coordinate energy efficiency demand and response programs and actions.14F 19 General Plan
The Salinas General Plan Conservation/Open Space Element identifies the following goal and policies for energy conservation to sustain existing and future economic and population growth.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 66 Goal COS-8: Encourage energy conservation.

Policy COS-8.1: Enforce State Title 24 building construction requirements.

Policy COS-8.2: Apply standards that promote energy conservation in new and existing development.

Policy COS-8.5: Encourage land use arrangements and densities that facilitate the use of energy efficient public transit.

Policy COS-8.6: Encourage the creation and retention of neighborhood-level services (e.g., family medical offices, dry cleaners, grocery stores, drug stores) throughout the City in order to reduce energy consumption through automobile use.

4.6.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less than Significant Impact. Although no development is currently proposed, future development that results from Project implementation would consume energy resources. Energy would be consumed through future construction and operations. Construction activities typically include demolition, site preparation, grading, paving, architectural coating, and trenching. The primary sources of energy for construction activities are diesel and gasoline, from the transportation of building materials and equipment and construction worker trips. Operations would involve heating, cooling, equipment, and vehicle trips. Energy consumption related to operations would be associated with natural gas, electricity, and fuel.

All construction equipment and operational activities shall conform to current emissions standards and related fuel efficiencies, including applicable CARB regulations (Airborne Toxic Control Measure), California Code of Regulations (Title 13, Motor Vehicles), and Title 24 standards that include a broad set of energy conservation requirements (e.g., Lighting Power Density requirements). Compliance with such regulations would ensure that the short -term, temporary construction activities and long -term operational activities do not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources.

Energy outputs for short-term construction and long-term operations were estimated using CalEEMod ( Appendix A) and Project assumptions . Traffic impacts related to vehicle trips were considered through a Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis contained in Section 4.17. Results are summarized as follows.

The Project site would be served by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for both electricity and natural gas.

Monterey County consumed approximately 2,531 GWh of electricity, or 0.90 percent of electricity generated in California in 2021 (280,738 GWh) and approximately 11,492,753 MMBtu, or 0.96 percent of natural gas generated in California in 2021 (1,191,985,957 MMBtu).20

20 California Energy Commission. “Electricity Consumption by County.” Accessed on March 7, 2023 , http://ecdms.energy.ca.gov/elecbycounty.aspx

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 67 Table 4-6 shows the estimated electricity and natural gas consumption for the Project based on output from CalEEMod. The Project would consume less than one (1) percent of the total electricity used in Monterey County in 2021 and less than one (1) percent of the total natural gas use in Monterey County in 2021. These results do not rise to a level of significance.

Table 4-6 Project Energy Consumption
Energy Consumption Electricity (GWh per year) Natural Gas (MMBtu per year) Project 2.8190 2,858.12
Monterey County 2,530.9789 1,191,985,956.83
Project Percentage (%) 0.1114 0.00
Regarding energy consumed through vehicle trips , development of the Project site to the maximum permitted density/intensity (i.e., 296 dwelling units and 161,172-square foot commercial space) would generate approximately 1,018 daily trips (See Section 4.17). The anticipated trips do not rise to a level of significance under VMT thresholds as described under Section 4.17 because the site is located along a High -Quality transit corridor, within 0.5-miles of an existing major transit stop that maintains a service interval frequency of 1 5 minutes or less during peak commute. In addition, the Project site would facilitate the redevelopment of a site within an urbanized area that is surrounded by existing urban uses , which has the potential to further reduce travel miles due to the proximity to existing uses. Mixed use development and development near existing bus stops also encourages the use of transit and alternative transportation modes such as walking and biking.

Overall, energy consumption for the Project does not rise to a level of significance. In addition, through compliance with applicable CARB regulations (Airborne Toxic Control Measure), California Code of Regulations (Title 13, Motor Vehicles), and Title 24 standards, it can be determined that the proposed Project would not consume energy in a manner th at is wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary . For these reasons, the Project would result in a less than significant impact.
b) Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Less than Significant Impact. As discussed under criterion a), the construction and operations of the Project would be subject to compliance with applicable energy efficiency regulations. Thus, applicable state and local regulations and programs would be implemented to reduce energy waste from construction and operations.

Table 4-7 demonstrates that the Project does not conflict with or obstruct with the energy conservation/efficiency policies identified in the General Plan.

Consistent. The Project would introduce higher density, mixed use develo pment, including commercial and
residential uses, in an area that is in close proximity to transit.

Therefore, through compliance, the Project would not conflict with or obstruct any state or local plan for energy efficiency and a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project.

4.7.1 Environmental Setting
The City of Salinas is located at the northern opening of the Salinas Valley and is situated 10 miles west of Monterey Bay and the Pacific Ocean, approximately mid -way between Santa Cruz and the Monterey Peninsula.

Geographically, the city inclusive of the Project site is in a seismically active region that is subject to various natural hazards such as earthquakes, liquefaction, flooding, landslides, and erosion. A brief discussion of the likelihood of such activities occurring in or affecting the city is provided below. The discussion is based on the 2022 County of Monterey Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) adopted in September 2022 as well as the Salinas General Plan Safety Element. 21
Faulting
There are no known active faults in the city. 22 No Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault zoning has been established for the city. There are two (2) potentially active faults within the city. These potentially active faults include King City Fault and Gabilan Creek Fault, both of which have not been active within the past 11,000 years. The nearest active fault and Alquist-Priolo Fault zoning to the city is the San Andreas Fault, which is located 1 3.4 miles northeast of the Project site. 23 Due to the distance from an active fault, there is low potential for ground rupture in the city.

Ground Shaking
The City of Salinas is in Seismic Risk Zone IV, the highest potential risk category due to the frequency and magnitude of earthquake activity nationwide. Therefore, the entire population is potentially exposed to direct and indirect impacts from earthquakes. As shown in Figure 4-6, the Project site is in a zone with moderately to very high seismic risk. Earthquake-related damage is often the result of liquefaction.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction primarily occurs in areas of recently deposited sands and silts and in areas of high groundwater levels.

Susceptible areas include sloughs and marshes that have been filled in and developed over. The city has former wetland areas that have been drained, f illed, and developed. As shown in Figure 4-7, the Project site is in an area with moderate to high susceptibility to liquefaction.

Erosion
The primary types of erosion identified by the HMP are coastal cliff and shoreline erosion. The city is not susceptible to these erosion types in all sea level rise scenarios (i.e., sea level rise at 25 cm, 75 cm, 200 cm).

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 73 Ground Subsidence
Ground subsidence is the settling or sinking of surface soil deposits with little or no horizontal motion. Soils with high silt or clay content are subject to subsidence. According to the HMP, the City of Salinas is not exposed to earthquake induced landslide risk.

Subsurface Soils
A search of the Web Soil Survey by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service indicates that the following soils comprise the Project site (Figure 4-8): 24
SbA: Salinas clay loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, MLRA 14 , well drained, and low runoff. The depth to water table is more than 80 inches. The SbA soils account for 100.0% of the project site.

California Building Code
The California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24 is assigned to the California Building Standards Commission, which, by law, is responsible for coordinating all building standards. The California Building Code incorporates by reference the International Building Code with necessary California amendments. About one -third of the text within the California Building Standards Code has been tailored for California earthquake conditions. Construction within the City of Salinas is governed by the seismic safety standards of Chapter 16 of the Code. These standards are applicable to all new buildings and are required to provide the necessary safety from earthquake related effected emanating from fault activity.

General Plan
The General Plan includes objectives and policies relevant to natural hazards in the Safety Element since Salinas is subject to earthquakes, liquefaction, flooding, landslides, and erosion:

Policy S-4.1: During the review of development proposals, investigate and mitigate geologic and seismic hazards, or require that development be located away from such hazards, in order to preserve life and protect property.

Policy S-4.2: Locate development outside flood -prone areas unless flood risk is mitigated without decreasing retention capacity.

Policy S-4.6: Ensure that all development and reuse/revitalization projects are developed in accordance with the most recent Uniform Fire Code requirements.

4.7.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.

Less than Significant Impact. There are no known active earthquake faults in Salinas inclusive of the Project site, nor is Salinas within an Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zone as established by the Alquist-Priolo Fault Zoning Act. There are two potentially active faults within the city, both of which have not been active within the past 11,000 years.

The nearest active fault to the city is the San Andreas Fault, which is located 13 .4 miles northeast of the Project site. Due to the distance from an active fault, there is low potential for ground rupture in the city. The likelihood of the Project rupturing due to an earthquake would be reduced through compliance with current seismic protection standards in the CBC which would s ignificantly limit potential seismic -related hazards such as landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Compliance with the CBC would ensure a less than significant impact.
ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project site i s in a zone with moderate to very high seismic risk. Future development of the Project site would be required to comply with current seismic protection standards in the CBC which would significantly limit potential damage to structures and thereby reduce potential impacts including the risk of loss, injury, or death. Compliance with the CBC would ensure a less than significant impact. iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less than Significant Impact. While the Project site is in an area with moderate to high susceptibility to liquefaction, there are no known geologic hazards or unstable soil conditions. Due to the distance from an active fault, there is low potential for ground rupture. Further, th e site is primarily made up of clay loam soils that are well drained , which are less susceptibl e to liquefaction than silt or sands. Future development of the site would require compliance with the city’s grading and drainage standards that would reduce the likelihood of settlement or bearing loss. In addition, future development would be required to comply with CBC and specific requirements that address liquefaction. For these reasons, the Project does not have any aspect that could result in seismic -related ground failure including liquefaction and a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project. iv. Landslides?
No Impact. The topography of the Project site is relatively flat with stable, native soils, and the site is not in the immediate vicinity of rivers or creeks that would be more susceptible to landslides. Therefore, no impact would occur because of the Project.
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less than Significant Impact. Soil erosion and loss of topsoil can be caused by natural factors, such as wind and flowing water, and human activity. The Project site is relatively flat and mostly paved, which limits the potential for

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 76 substantial soil erosion. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site would require typical site preparation activities such as grading and trenching which may result in the potential for short- term soil disturbance or erosion impacts. Soil disturbance during construction is largely caused by the use of water.

Excessive soil erosion could cause damage to existing structures and roadways.

The likelihood of erosion would be further reduced through compliance with regulations set by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). Namely, the SWRCB requires sites larger than one ( 1) acre to comply with the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity (i.e., General Permit Order No. 2009-0009-DWQ). The General Permit requires the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a certified Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD). The SWPPP estimates the sediment risk associated with construction activities and includes best management practices (BMP) to control erosion. BMPs specific to erosion control cover erosion, sediment, tracking, and waste management controls. Implementation of the SWPPP minimizes the potential for the Project to result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil. With these provisions in place, impacts to soil and topsoil by the Project would be considered less than significant. c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? Less than Significant Impact. Ground subsidence is the settling or sinking of surface soil deposits with little or no horizontal motion. Soils with high silt or clay content are subject to subsidence. Subsidence typically occurs in areas with groundwater withdrawal or oil or natural gas extraction. The topography of the site is relatively flat with stable, native soils and no apparent unique or significant landforms. Future development of the Project site would be required to comply with current seismic protection stan dards in the CBC which would significantly limit potential seismic-related hazards such as landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Compliance with the CBC would ensure a less than significant impact.
d) Be located on expansive s oil, as defined in Table 18 -1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994, as updated), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is relatively flat with native soils of clay loam, which are moderately expansive. Future development would be required to submit a soils report pursuant to SMC Section 31-402.5 (b) – Soils Report which would investigate the expansion potential of the underlying soils and recommend corrective action. Project construction would also be subject to the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) design standards , specifically Section 1808.6 Design for expansive soils, and the CBC. Compliance with the SMC, IBC, and CBC would ensure a less than significant impact.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 77 e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater? No Impact. The Project site is within city limits and is currently connected to city utility services. Future development would also connect to City wastewater services. Thus, no permanent septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems would be installed, and no impact would occur.
f) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? Less than Significant Impact . As discussed in the Cultural Resources section above, there are no known paleontological resources or unique geological features known to the city on this site. In addition, the Project site is heavily disturbed as it has been previously developed. Nevertheless, there is some possibility that a non -visible, buried resource, site or feature may exist and may be uncovered during ground disturbing construction activities which would constitute a significant impact. To further assure future development does not result in significant impacts to any potential resources, the Project shall incorporate Mitigation Measures CUL-2 as described in Section

4.5. Therefore, if any paleontological resources or geologic features were discovered, implementation of CUL-2 would reduce the Project’s impact to less than significant.

4.8.1 Environmental Setting
In assessing the significance of impacts from GHG emissions, Section 15064.4(b) of the CEQA Guidelines states that a lead agency may consider the following:
• The extent to which the project may increase or reduce GHG emissions as compared to the environmen tal setting;
• Whether the project emissions exceed a threshold of significance that the lead agency determines applies to the project;
• The extent to which the project complies with regulations or requirements adopted to implement a statewide, regional, or local plan for the reduction or mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan, guidance from the MBUAPCD, Monterey County Municipal Climate Action Plan, and Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy are discussed below and are utilized as thresholds of significance. 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan
The CARB 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan is the adopted statewide plan for reduction and mitigation of GHGs to implement Assembly Bill (AB) 1279. AB 1279 was issued on August 12, 2022 to require California to achieve “net zero greenhouse gas emissions” as soon as possible and to further reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions thereafter.

It sets a statewide goal to reduce emissions 85% below 1990 levels no later than 2045.

Consequently, the Scoping Plan involves several measures for cost-effective reduction of GHG emissions, including continuing existing programs such as Renewable Portfolio Standard, Advanced Cle an Car s, Low Carbon Fuel Standard, etc., and achieving new mandates to decarbonize several sectors . Along with reducing emissions , environmental justice policies are included to address the ongoing air quality disparities.

Appendix D of the 2022 Scoping Plan include recommendations to build momentum for local government actions to align with State goals, including through CEQA review. The Appendix outlines the priority GHG reduction

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 79 strategies for local governments , including transportation electrification, VMT reduction, and building decarbonization. 25
2008 MBUAPCD CEQA Air Quality Guidelines
MBUAPCD adopted CEQA thresholds of significance for air quality, including criteria pollut ants. However, the guidelines do not specify a threshold for GHG emissions. 2013 Monterey County Municipal Climate Action Plan (MCAP) 26 The MCAP does not identify threshold of significance on GHG emissions for CEQA purposes. It only identifies actions calling for local governments to complete community -wide CAPs, incorporating MCAP, and adopt for purposes of CEQA tiering.
2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS) 27 The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) is the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Monterey Bay Area. As required by SB 375, all MPOs should develop a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS) to establish actions to reduce GHG emissions. The SCS identifies implementation strategies, including encouraging infill development, supporting projects along high quality transit corridors, construction of complete streets, conducting studies to identify opportunities, etc.

General Plan
The City of Salinas General Plan does not include any context or policies on GHG reduction; however, it does include policies that encourage high density development and energy conservation (See Section 4.6). The City of Salinas is currently in the process of drafting a Climate Action Plan.

4.8.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment?
Less than Significant Impact. The 2023 CEQA Guidelines do not establish a quantitative threshold of significance for GHG impacts, leaving lead agencies the discretion to establish such thresholds for their respective jurisdictions.

Since the MBARD does not have established GHG significance emissions thresholds and the City of Salinas does not have an adopted CAP for CEQA tiering purposes, the following analysis utilizes emissions thresholds from other air districts.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 80 Although no specific project is currently proposed, short-term construction and long -term operational GHG emissions for project buildout were estimated using CalEEModTM (v.2020.4.0). (See Appendix A for output files and Section 4.3 for CalEEMod Assumptions). Emissions are expressed in annual metric tons of CO 2 equivalent units of measure (i.e., MTCO2e), based on the global warming potential of the individual pollutants.

Construction Emissions
The Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) and Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) have concluded that construction emissions should be assessed for impacts since they may remain in the atmosphere for years after construction is complete. The SMAQMD and BAAQMD both established quantitative significance thresholds of 1,100 MT CO2e per year for the construction phases of land use projects. As such, annual construction emissions below the 1,100 MT CO2e would have a less than significant cumulative impact on GHGs. The maximum annual construction emission of GHG associated with development of the project is estimated to be 657.7817 MT CO2e based on the CalEEMod run . This is less than the 1,100 MTCO2e threshold of the SMAQMD and BAAQMD.

Operational Emissions
Regarding the long-term operational related GHG emissions, the estimated operational emissions for buildout of the Project incorporates the potential area source and vehicle emissions, and emissions associated with utility and water usage, and wastewater and solid waste generation . The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) adopted the staff proposal for an interim GHG significance threshold of 10,000 MT CO2e per year for GHG for construction and operational emissions. The BAAQMD also adopted the 10,000 MT CO2e per year threshold. Utilizing this as the threshold , annual operational emissions below 10,000 MTCO2e would have a less than significant cumulative impact on GHGs. The annual operational GHG emissions associated with buildout of the Project is 5,713.8846 MT CO2e based on the CalEEMod run. This is less than the 10,000 MTCO2e threshold of the SCAQMD and BAAQMD.

Further, the Project would not exceed the thresholds of significance for construction or operation al emissions as discussed in Section 4.3 . Cumulatively, these emissions would not generate a significant contribution to global climate change over the lifetime of the proposed Project. As such, it can be determined that the Project would not occur at a scale or scope with potential to contribute substantially or cumulatively to the generation of GHG emissions and therefore the impact would be less than significant. b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The compatibility of the Project with the 2022 Scoping Plan and MCAP, and MTP/SCS is evaluated below.

Consistency with the 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan
Based on the evaluation shown in Table 4-8, the Project is consistent with the reduction measures identified in the 2022 Scoping Plan. The reduction measures are derived from the 2022 S coping Plan Appendix D Section 3.2.1 – Project Attributes for Residential and Mixed -Use Projects to Qualitatively Determine Consistency with the Scoping Plan. As stated in the section, “Residential and mixed-use projects that have all of the key project attributes in [Table 4-] should accommodate growth in a manner consistent with State GHG reduction and equity prioritization goals.”

Transportation
Electrification
Provides EV charging infrastructure
that, at minimum, meets the most
ambitious voluntary standard in the
California Green Building Standards
Code at the time of project approval.

Consistent with Mitigation . New development
projects are currently subject to residential and/or
non-residential mandatory measures as specified in
Chapter 4 and 5 of the 2022 CalGreen Code.

However, the mandatory standards for EV charging
infrastructure are less than the voluntary standards
as described in Appendix A4 of the 2022 CalGreen
Code. Thus , the Project incorporates Mitigation
Measure GHG-1 to ensure that future development
resulting from the Project would be subject to EV
charging infrastructure per the CalGreen Residential
Voluntary S tandards Code . As such, the Project
would be consistent with mitigation incorporated.

VMT Reduction

Is located on infill sites that are
surrounded by existing urban uses
and reuses or redevelops previously
undeveloped or underutilized land
that is p resently served by existing
utilities and essential public services
(e.g., transit, streets, water, sewer)

Consistent. The Project is on an infill site that is
currently developed with commercial uses . In
addition, it is currently served by existing utilities, street improvements, sidewalks, and three bus
stops within 1,000 feet of the site. Therefore, the
Project would be consistent.

Does not result in the loss or
conversion of natural and working
lands.

Consistent. Natural and working lands include
forests, rangelands, urban green spaces, wetlands,
and farms. The Project is currently developed with
urbanized uses and does not include forests,
rangelands, green spaces, wetlands, or farms. As
such, redevelopment of the Project site will not
result in the loss or conversion of natural and
working lands.
• Consists of transit -supportive
densities (minimum of 20
residential
• dwelling units per acre), or
• Is in proximity to existing transit
stops (within a half mile), or
• Satisfies more detailed and
stringent criteria specified in the
region’s SCS.

Consistent. While no development is proposed at
this time, the Project aims to increase residential
density. According to Project assumptions as
described in Section 2.9, the Project could be built
to a maximum of 42.4 dwelling units per acre. In
addition, there are three bus stops within 1,000 feet
of the Project site, providing proximity to existing
transit.

Reduces parking requirements by:
• Eliminating parking requirements
or including maximum allowable
parking ratios (i.e., the ratio of
parking spaces to residential units
or square feet); or
Consistent with Mitigation. The City of Salinas does
not currently have a maximum allowable parking
ratio. As such, Mitigation Measure GHG -2 is
incorporated to ensure that the future
developments as a result of Project implementation
have a maximum allowable parking ratio or that

parking costs be unbundled from costs to rent/own
a residential unit.

At least 20 percent of units included
are affordable to lower -income
residents. 28
Consistent with Mitigation. The City of Salinas has
an inclusionary zoning ordinance that requires that
residential projects include some level of affordable
housing. Specif ically, SMC Chapter 17 Article III –
Inclusionary Housing requires inclusionary units be
built as part of residential development for both for-
sale and rental units. The ordinance requires a
choice of 20%, 15%, and 12% of affordability for a
mix of income, including workforce income,
moderate income, lower income, and very low
income households.

Results in no net loss of existing
affordable units.

Consistent. The Project site is currently developed
with retail and office uses. There are no existing
residential units on site. As such, future
redevelopment of the Project site would not result
in loss of existing affordable units.

Building
Decarbonization
Uses all -electric appliances without
any natural gas connections and does
not use propane or other fossil fuels
for space heating, water heating, or
indoor cooking.

Consistent. Future development on the site will
comply with applicable building codes at the time of
development. Current state building code r equires
new residential development to be all electric.

According to the analysis in Table 4-, mitigation measures are incorporated to ensure that future development that occurs as a result of the Project would comply with the 2022 Scoping Plan. With mitigation measures incorporated, future development resulting from the implementation of the Project incorporates all of the key project attributes that are aligned with the State’s priority GHG reduction strategies for local climate action. Per the 2022 Scoping Plan, this is considered to be consistent with the Scoping Plan and therefore, would result in a less than significant GHG impact under CEQA.

Mitigation Measure GHG -1: Future development shall install EV charging infrastructure according to the most ambitious voluntary standard in the California Green Building Standards Code at the time of project approval.

Mitigation Measure GHG-2: Future development shall provide no more parking spaces than the off-street parking requirements established in the City of Salinas Municipal Code. Alternatively, multi-family residential development

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 83 can choose to unbundle parking costs with costs to rent or own a residential unit instead of meeting the maximum off-parking requirement.

Policies and actions established in the MCAP and RTP/SCS do not directly apply to development projects. For instance, the MCAP calls for local governments to complete community-wide CAPs. The City of Salinas is currently developing a Climate Action Plan. The RTP/SCS identifies strategies related to land use patter ns, transportation planning, research, and education that promote the reduction of GHG emissions in local jurisdictions. The Project complies with SCS implementation strategies, including encouraging infill housing and promoting increased development in a high-quality transit corridor.

In conclusion, the Project contains features that would reduce GHG emissions in compliance with CARB 2022 Climate Change Scoping Plan, goals from the MCAP, and implementation strategies from the RTP/SCS. As such, the Project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy , or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of GHGs, and therefore the impact would be less than significant.

4.8.3 Mitigation Measures
The Project shall implement and incorporate, as appl icable, the Greenhouse Gas Emissions related mitigation measure GHG-1 and GHG-2 as identified above and in the MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM contained in SECTION 5.

4.9.1 Environmental Setting
For the purposes of this section, the term “hazardous materials” refers to "injurious substances," which include flammable liquids and gases, poisons, corrosives, explosives, oxidizers, radioactive materials, and medical supplies and waste. These materials are either generated or used by various commercial and industrial activities. Hazardous

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 85 wastes are injurious substances that have been or will be disposed of. Potential hazards arise from the transport of hazardous materials, including leakage and acciden ts involving transporting vehicles. There also are hazards associated with the use and storage of these materials and waste. Hazardous materials are grouped into the following four categories based on their properties:
• Toxic: causes human health effect
• Ignitable: has the ability to burn
• Corrosive: causes severe burns or damage to materials • Reactive: causes explosions or generates toxic gases
“Hazardous wastes” are defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 25141(b) as wastes that: “…because of their quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical, or infectious characteristics, [may either] cause or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious illness or pose a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed.” A hazardous waste is any hazardous material that is discarded, abandoned, or slated to be recycled. If improperly handled, hazardous materials and haza rdous waste can result in public health hazards if released into the soil or groundwater or through airborne releases in vapors, fumes, or dust. Soil and groundwater having concentrations of hazardous constituents higher than specific regulatory levels mus t be handled and disposed of as hazardous waste when excavated or pumped from an aquifer. The California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Sections 66261.20‐24 contains technical descriptions of toxic characteristics that could cause soil or groundwater to be classified as hazardous waste.

Hazardous waste generators may include industries, businesses, public and private institutions, and households.

Federal, state, and local agencies maintain comprehensive databases that identify the location of facilities usi ng large quantities of hazardous materials, as well as facilities generating hazardous waste. Some of these facilities use certain classes of hazardous materials that require risk management plans to protect surrounding land uses. The release of hazardous materials would be subject to existing federal, State, and local regulations and is similar to the transport, use, and disposal of hazard materials.

Regulatory Setting
The California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) was established in 1991 to protect the environment .

CalEPA oversees the Unified Program through Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs), which consolidates six environmental programs to ensure the handling of hazardous waste and materials in California. The local CUPA in Monterey County, Hazardous Materials Management Services (HMMS) , is responsible for administering the following six CUPA programs: 29

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 86 • Underground Storage of Hazardous Substances
• Uniform Fire Code Hazardous Materials Management Plan The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is another agency in California that regulates hazardous waste, conducts inspections, provide emergency response for hazardous materials -related emergencies, protect water resources from contamination, removing wastes, etc. DTSC acts under the authority of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and California Health and Safety Code. The DTSC implements California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 Division 4.5 to manage hazardous waste. Government Code Section 65962.5 requires that DTSC shall compile and update at least annually a list of:
(1) All hazardous waste facilities subject to corrective action pursuant to Section 25187.5 of the Health and Safety Code (“HSC”).
(2) All land designated as hazardous waste property or border zone property pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with Section 25220) of Chapter 6.5 of Division 20 of the Health and Safety Code. (3) All information received by the Department of Toxic Substances Control pursuant to Section 25242 of the Health and Safety Code on hazardous waste disposal on public land. (4) All sites listed pursuant to Section 25356 of the Health and Safety Code. (5) All sites included in the Abandoned Site Assessment Program.

This list of hazardous waste sites in California, referred to as the Cortese List , is then distributed to each city and county. According to the CCR Title 22 , soils excavated from a site containing hazardous materials is considered hazardous waste, and remediation actions should be performed accordingly. Cleanup requirements are determined case-by-case by the jurisdiction.

4.9.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
Less than Significant Impact. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site resulting from Project implementation could result in mixed-use development that would include residential and commercial uses. Uses common to mixed-use development typically do not include production or services that would require the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardo us materials. Further, operations that are likely to routinely transport, use, or dispose of hazardous materials would not otherwise be permitted in the proposed MX zon ing district (i.e., industrial uses, warehousing and storage, and vehicle sales, service s, repair, storage, and washin g).

While demolition and construction activities may include the temporary transport, storage, use or disposal of potentially hazardous materials (e.g., fuels, lubricating fluids, cleaners, solvents, etc.), such activities wou ld be regulated by the DTSC through the California Hazardous Waste Control Law and Hazardous Waste Control Regulations as well as by MBARD through Rule 424 (i.e., asbestos-containing materials). Compliance would ensure that construction-related impacts would be less than significant. For these reasons, the Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials and a less than significant impact would occur. b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Less than Significant Impact. As described under criterion a), the Project is not anticipated to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials.

Therefore, the Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment.

Therefore, a less than significant impact would occur.
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
No Impact. As described under criteria a) and b), the Project is not anticipated to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials and would not create upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment. Further there are no schools within one-quarter mile of the Project site. Therefore, no impact would occur. d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? Less than Significant Impact. According to NPL, EnviroStor, and GeoTracker, t he Project site includes one (1) completed “case closed” hazardous material release site. Since there are no active hazardous material release sites on the Project site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, the Project would not create a significant hazard to the public of the environment and there would be a less than significant impact.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 89 e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area?
Less than Significant Impact. The nearest public airport or public use airport is the Salinas Municipal Airport located approximately 1.6 miles southeast of the Project site. The airport occupies 763 acres with two runways, measuring 4,825 feet long and 150 feet wide and 6,004 feet long and 150 feet wide. The air traffic control tower is in operation 12 hours a day, seven (7) days a week. The applicable airport land use plan is the 1982 Salinas Municipal Airport Land Use Plan (Plan) adopted by the Monterey County Airport Land Use Commission on May 17, 1982.31F 33 According
to the SMC, one parcel within the Project site, APN 002-382-072-000, is located within the Airport Influence Area (AIA) of the Airport (AR) Overlay District . Since the parcel is with in the AIA, development on the parcel would be subject to regulations contained in Division 7 – Airport (AR) Overlay District of the SMC. Future physical development of the parcel would be subject to review for airport compatibility prior to approval by the applicable reviewing body. As a result, the Project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the Project Area and a less than significant impact would occur. f) Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is currently fully developed and paved, containing existing structures and on- and off-site improvements including drive approaches, curb, gutter, sidewalk, streetlights, utilities, and landscaping. There are approximately four existing structures on the site that predominately consist of retail and office uses. Street frontage includes John Street, a four -lane east-west major arterial , Abbott Street, a six -lane north-south major arterial, and Front Street, a two-lane local street. Therefore, future development of the Project site would constitute redevelopment that would be served by the existing roads and infrastructure. Construction may require lane closures, but access would be maintained through standard traffic control as required by an encroachment permit. Furthermore, future development of the Project site would be reviewed and conditioned to compliance with applicable standards for on -site emergency access including turn radii and fire access. For these reasons, it can be determined that Project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan and impacts would be less than significant. g) Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires?
Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is located in an urbanized area surrounded by urban uses. In addition, the site is not identified by Cal Fire to be in a Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ). Future development of the site would result in the construction of structures and installation of infrastructure that would be reviewed and conditioned by the City for compliance with all applicable standards, specifications, and codes. In addition, a ny structure to be occupied by humans would be required to be constructed in adherence to the Wildland Urban Interface Codes and Standards of the CBC Chapter 7A. Compliance with such regulations would

4.10.1 Environmental Setting
The Project site is within city limits and currently connected to the city’s water and stormwater services. The city’s water and stormwater services are described as follows.

Water
Water is provided by two (2) private water companies: Alco Water Service and California Water Service Company (Cal Water). The City of Salinas is served by the Salinas District (District), which also includes communities of Las Lomas, Oak Hills, Salinas Hills, and Country Meadows. Water supply comes from local ground water. According to the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP), the District has 38 wells, 23 storage tanks, and over 300 miles of pipeline, delivering approximately 14 million gallons of local groundwater daily. 34 The Project site is served by the Salinas Public Water System (PWS), see Figure 4-10.

The city’s long-term water resource planning for existing and future demand is addressed in the UWMP. According to the UWMP, the District has sufficient production capacity and groundwater supply to meet most demands in the projected future during dry year and multiple dry year conditions . Minor shortfalls (2%) are anticipated in 2040 under single dry year and multiple dry year conditions in the Salinas PWS and will increase slightly in 2045. However, the UWMP expects that shortfalls are alleviated through implementation of the District’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) and other supply augmentation measures. According to the UWMP, water quality is not expected to impact water supplies through 2045.

Stormwater
The City of Salinas Urban Watershed Management Program is an integrated effort of the public and public agencies with the goal to protect water resources by reducing or eliminating contaminants from entering local creeks. The City of Salinas Permit Center, Community and Economic Development, and Public Works Departments prepared the Stormwater Standard Plans (SWSP) based on Low Impact Development Initiative (LIDI) Standard Details and City of Portland Stormwater Management Manual Typical Details. In conjunction with the City of Salinas Stormwater Development Standards (SWDS) and the City of Salinas Standard Specifications, Design Standards, a nd Standard Plans, all development projects are required to comply with these provisions to filter stormwater on site and assess needs for liners, subdrains, storm drain connecppptions, etc. 35

4.10.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality?
Less than Significant Impact. Although no development is currently proposed, implementation of the Project would result in future residential and commercial development. If a future development on the Project site is greater than one acre in size, the developer would be required to prepare a SWPPP (Section 4.7) in compliance with the General Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Associated with Construction Activity (i.e., General Permit Order No. 2009- 0009-DWQ). The SWPPP estimates the sedime nt risk associated with construction activities and includes best management practices (BMP) to control erosion. BMPs specific to erosion control cover erosion, sediment, tracking, and waste management controls. Implementation of the SWPPP minimizes the potential for the Project to result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil. These provisions minimize the potential for future development of the Project site to violate any waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality. Further, runoff resulting from future development would be managed in compliance with approved grading and drainage plans in addition to the City of Salinas MS4 Permit (Order No. R3 -2019-0073, NPDES Permit No.

CA0049981). Thus, complia nce with regulations including the General Construction Permit, BMPs, approved grading and drainage plans , and MS4 Permit would reduce potential impacts related to water quality and waste discharge to less than significant levels.
b) Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin? Less than Significant Impact. The Project includes a GPA and Rezone pertaining to eight parcels that t otal approximately 3.7 acres. The GPA requests a land use change from Retail and Residential Low Density to Mixed- Use and the rezone requests a zone change from CR – Commercial Retail and R-L – Residential Low Density to MX- Mixed Use. Although no physical development is proposed by the Project, the SMC would allow a maximum of 161,172 sf. of commercial devel opment and 296 multi-family residential units. Future development would be served by Cal Water.

Potable water demands for the existing and proposed land use designation were estimated using water use factors from the WSA Water Factor Tool developed by Cal Water. These factors are based on the expected parameters and characteristics of the existing and proposed development. Calculated water demands are shown in Table 4-9. As shown, existing land uses utilize approximately 3.9-acre feet per year (AFY) compared to an estimated 58.53 AFY under the proposed use at maximum build out. Maximum build out would account for a less than one percent increase above Cal Water’s 2020 water demand of 16,497 AFY. In addition, the increase in demand would not exceed available groundwater supplies during a normal year water supply estimate of 23,569 AFY per the UWMP.

Therefore, future development of the Pro ject site could be accommodated by existing groundwater supplies and impacts would be less than significant.

Multi-Family Residential 296 du 141 41,736 46.78
Total 52,215 58.53
Furthermore, adherence to connection requirements and recommendations pursuant to the city’s water conservation efforts (e.g., compliance with California Plumbing Code, efficient appliances, efficient landscaping, etc.) should not negatively impact water supply or impede water management. In particular, future development would be built accordance with all mandatory outdoor water use requirements as outlined in the applicable California Green Building Standards Code, Title 24, Part 11, Section 4.304 – Outdoor Water Use and verified through the building permit process. As a mixed-use development tha t would contain landscaping pursuant to SMC regulations, future development shall comply with the updated Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) (California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Division 2), as implemented and enforced through the building permit process. Therefore, through compliance, the potential for the Project to substantially decrease groundwater supplies is limited and impacts would be less than significant.

In addition, development of the Project site would not substantially increase impervious surfaces because the site has been previously developed and paved. Redevelopment of the site would require review and approval for compliance with the city’s Standard Specifications, Design Standards, and Standard Plans to filter stormwater on site and assess needs for liners, subdrains, and storm drain connections. Therefore, through compliance, the potential for the Project to interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the Project would impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin is limited and impacts would be less than significant.

Finally, although the proposed Project, would increase demand for water use on this specific site compared to the water use currently on the site, as previously discussed in Section 2.9 of this document , the overall projected citywide population would not change because of this Project. In fact , the increase in potential residential units does not c onstitute a significantly greater water demand because higher density, multi -family residential development generates less water use due to property features including less outdoor irrigation due to shared common areas (and as evidenced in Cal Water demand factors). Thus, if assumed population increases are redirected to higher density multi -family development rather than single -family development, the overall anticipated water demand w ould be less than anticipated citywide. In addition, the UWMP determined there is enough water capacity to serve the city’s projected population. As discussed further in Section 4.14.2, the population and housing units generated by the proposed Project would be within the AMBAG projections for the region and city.

Overall, based on the information collected from the UWMP, the Project would not generate significantly greater water demand as to substantially decrease groundwater supplies. Additionally, adherence to connection requirements and recommendations pursuant to water conservation efforts as well as compliance with applicable California Green Building Standards Code and MWELO would reduce water demand and reduce the potential for the Project to substantially decrease water supply. Lastly, compliance with the city’s stormwater requirements as I I

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 96 ensured through the building permit process would reduce the potential for the Project to interfere with groundwater recharge. As such, the Project would have a less than significant impact. c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner which would:
i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? Less than Significant Impact. Erosion is a natural process in which soil is moved from place to place by wind or from flowing water. The effects of erosion within the Project Area can be accelerated by ground -disturbing activities associated with development. Siltation is the settling of sediment to the bed of a stream or lake which increases the turbidity of water. Turbid water can have harmful effects to aquatic life by clogging fish gills, reducing spawning habitat, and suppress aquatic vegetation growth.

Soil erosion and loss of topsoil can be caused by natural factors, such as wind and flowing water, and human activity.

The Project site is relatively flat and mostly paved due to previous development , which limits the potential for substantial soil erosion. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site would require typical site preparation activities such as grading and trenching which may result in the potential for short- term soil disturbance or erosion impacts. Soil disturbance during construction is largely caused by the use of water.

Excessive soil erosion could cause damage to existing structures and roadways.

The likelihood of erosion occurring during construction would be reduced through site grading and surfacing, which would be subject to review and approval by the City for compliance with applicable standards. Future development of the Project site would be required to comply with SMC Section 29 -15(d) - Best Management Practices for Construction Sites , which requires all constru ction to “comply with the City of Salinas Standards to Control Excavations, Cuts, Fills, Clearing, Grading, Erosion and Sediments” and to keep debris and dirt out of the city’s storm drain system. The likelihood of erosion would be further reduced through compliance with regulations including the General Construction Permit, BMPs, approved grading and drainage plans, and MS4 Permit as described under criterion a). With these provisions in place, the impact to soil and topsoil by the Project would be considered less than significant.
ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner, which would result in flooding on- or off-site?
Less than Significant Impact. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site resulting from implementation of the Project would be subject to the entitlement review and approval process through the City of Salinas. Through the entitlement review and approval process, future development would be reviewed and conditioned for compliance with the General Construction Permit, BMPs, approved grading and drainage plans, and MS4 Permit as described under criteria a) and c) -i. Further, if onsite retention facilities are required to manage surface runoff so as not result in flooding on - or off-site, then the size and capacity of such facilities would be determined through the site design, review, and conditioning of future development. Therefore, the entitlement review and approval process conducted by the City would ensure that surface runoff is controlled in a manner which would not result in flooding on- or off-site. For this reason, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project.

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 97 iii. Create or contribute runoff water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Less than Significant Impact. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site resulting from implementation of the Project would be subject to the entitlement review and approval process through the City of Salinas. Through the entitlement review and approval process, future development would be reviewed and conditioned for compliance with the General Construction Permit, BMPs, approved grading and drainage plans, and MS4 Permit as described under criteria a) and c) -ii. Further, if onsite retention facilities are required to manage surface runoff so as no t result in exceedance of the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or substantial additional sources of polluted runoff. Therefore, the entitlement review and approval process conducted by the City would ensure that surface runoff is controlled in a manner which would not exceed capacity or contribute to additional sources of polluted runoff. For this reason, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project.
iv. Impede or redirect flood flows?
Less than Significant Impact. Because the site i s developed and paved, there are existing stormwater drainage systems including curb and gutter along the existing roadways adjacent to the Project site. Given the existing stormwater drainage systems surrounding the site, future development of the site is not expected to substantially change the topography of the site and therefore would not be expected to impede or redirect flood flows. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site resulting from implementation of the Project would be subject to the entitlement review and approval process through the City of Salinas. Through the entitlement review and approval process, future development would be reviewed and conditioned for compliance with the General Construction Permit, BMPs, approved grading and drainage plans, and MS4 Permit as described under criteria a) and c) -ii. Further, if onsite retention facilities are required to manage surface runoff so as not to impede or redirect flood flows . Therefore, the entitlement review and approval process conducted by the City would ensure that surface runoff is controlled in a manner which would not impede or redirect flood flows. For this reason, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project. d) In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation? Less than Significant Impact. The Project site is designated as Zone X on the most recent Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) No. 06053C0217G dated April 2, 2009 (see Figure 4-11). Zone X is a flood hazard area with a 0.2 percent annual chance of flood hazard and one (1) precent annual chance flood with average depth less than one foot or with drainage areas of less t han one (1) square mile. In addition, the Project site is not within the City of Salinas Flood Zone Overlay. Furthermore, the Project site is not in a tsunami or seiche zone (i.e., standing waves on rivers, reservoirs, ponds, and lakes), therefore the risk of inundation is unlikely. For these reasons, the Project would have a less than significant impact.
e) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
Less than Significant Impact. The Cit y of Salinas is a member agency of the Salinas Valley Basin Groundwater Sustainability Agency (SVBGSA). The Project site is within the 180/400 -Foot Aquifer Subbasin and the East Side Aquifer Subbasin. The SVBGSA adopted the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) for the 180/400 -Foot Aquifer

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 98 Subbasin in September 2022 and the GSP for the East Side Aquifer Subbasin in January 2022. 36,37 Generally, the GSPs outline how groundwater sustainability will be achieved in 20 years and then maintained for an additional 30 years. According to the GSPs, groundwater is the primary water source for all water use sectors in the subbasins.

There are ex isting monitoring programs for groundwater elevation, groundwater extraction, and groundwater quality carried out by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) and municipal and community water purveyors in order to fulfill groundwater quality regu latory requirements. As described above, the Project would not substantially deplete groundwater resources. In addition, a s mentioned above, although the proposed Project would increase demand for water use on this specific site compared to the water use currently on the site, the overall city-wide projected population would not change because of this Project. For these reasons, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project.

4.11.1 Environmental Setting
The Project site is currently fully developed and is within Salinas city limits.

4.11.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
Less than Significant Impact. Typically, physical division of an estab lished community would occur if a project introduced new incompatible uses inconsistent with the planned or existing land uses or created a physical barrier that impeded access within the community. Typical examples of physical barriers include the introduction of new, intersecting roadways, roadway closures, and construction of new major utility infrastructure (e.g., transmission lines, storm channels, etc.).

Surrounding Land Uses
This Project is funded by SB 2 grant funding for the purpose of providing additional opportunities for housing and mixed-use development, in line with the goals contained in the General Plan and Housing Element. Currently, the site is occupied by a mix of retail and office uses. The city considers the Project site to have significant redevelopment potential and proposes to change the land use designation and zon ing district to facilitate future mixed-use development. This would extend the mixed -use land use and zoning designation of the parcels to the west of the site that front John Street , providing greater opportunity for lot assemblage in order to make higher density housing projects economically feasible on the “Edge of Downtown .” Implementation of the Project would thereby facilitate future development in line with the envisioned transformation of “Edge of Downtown”.

Circulation System
No new streets are proposed that would result in a physical barrier. Street frontage includes John Street, a four- lane east-west major arterial, Abbott Street, a six-lane north-south major arterial, and Front Street, a two-lane local street. Five to 10 -foot sidewalks are on both sides of the roadways. There are two controlled crosswalks at John/Abbott Streets and Front/John Streets. There are two bus stops adjacent to the site (“ Abbott/John Street” Stop ID: 2341; “Front/Summer” Stop ID: 3794 ) on Abbott Street for Route 96 – Salinas-Salinas Airport Business Center operated by the Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) with service every hour. While no development is proposed, implementation of the Project could result in future development of the Project site with commercial and

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 101 residential uses. Future development would be accessible by the existing circulation system , including existing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit systems, and would not require the development of new roadways or permanent roadway closures.

Utility Infrastructure
No new major utility infrastructure is proposed that would result in a physical barrier. Since the Project site is within the city limits, future development resulting from Project implementation would be required to connect to the city’s water, sewer, stormwater, and wastewater services. Natural gas, electricity, and telecommunications are provided by private companies. Utility systems are described and analyzed in Section 4.10 and Section 4.15. Based on the analysis, implementation of the Project would not result in the construction of new, major utility infrastructure.

Overall, the Project would not result in the physical separation of the established community. For these reasons, a less than significant impact would occur because of the Project. b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or r egulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Less than Significant Impact. Generally, policy conflicts are environmental impacts when they would result in direct physical impacts or where those conflicts relate to av oiding or mitigating environmental impacts. As such, associated physical environmental impacts are discussed in this document under specific topical sections, such as Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, and Tribal Cultural Resources. The Project incl udes a General Plan Amendment and Rezone to provide additional opportunities for mixed -use development. Although no development is proposed, future development of the Project site would result in residential and commercial uses.

A discussion of land use policies that are applicable to the Project are included in Table 4-10. As discussed below, the Project is generally consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of Mixed Use. Specifically, the Project helps the city achieve Goal LU-1: Develop a balanced land use pattern that provides a wide range of jobs, housing, shopping, services, and recreation and Goal CD-3: Create a community that promotes a pedestrian friendly, livable environment.

Table 4-10 Discussion on Land Use Policies in the General Plan for Mixed Use Development General Plan Policy Project Consistency
Policy LU -1.1: Achieve a balance of land uses to
provide for a range of housing, jobs, libraries, and
educational an d recreational facilities that allow
residents to live, work, shop, learn, and play in the
community.

Consistent. The proposed land use and zon ing
change would diversify the types of land uses
permitted on the Project site, including the provision
of housing, jobs, and public facilities which would
otherwise not be permitted under the current land
use and zoning designation. Implementation of the
Project would thereby facilitate a greater balance of
land uses.

Policy LU -1.2: Provide a plan for land uses that
includes the capacity to accommodate growth
projected for 2020 and beyond.

Consistent. As described under Section 4.3 and
Section 4.14 , the City of Salinas and County of
Monterey are expected to experience population
growth. In addition, the city’s RHNA indicates a need
for an additional 2,229 housing units. The Project
would introduce additional opportunities for housing

CITY OF SALINAS – General Plan Amendment & Rezone: Edge of Downtown/ Front and John Streets | 102 and mixed-use development that would help the city
meet the projected population growth and demand
for housing units. Therefore, implementation of the
Project would increase the city’s capacity to
accommodate growth projected for the next decade.

Policy LU -1.3: Make provision in residential areas
for institutional uses that are needed near homes
or which benefit from a residential environment,
including places of religious assembly, day -care
homes, homes for physically or developmentally
disabled persons, and car e facilities in accordance
with the provisions of State law.

Consistent. The Project proposes a land use and
zoning change that would allow for future mixed-use
development consisting of commercial and
residential uses. Under the proposed planned land
use designation and zoning district, institutional uses including places of religious assembly, day -care
homes, homes for physically or developmentally
disabled persons, and care facilities would be
permitted. Therefore, Project implementation would
allow for institutional uses near homes.

Policy LU -1.4: Create and preserve distinct,
identifiable neighborhoods that have traditional
neighborhood development (TND) characteristics.

Specifically, development should: Provide a
balanced mix of housing, workplaces, shopping,
recreational opportunities, and institutional uses,
including mixed -use structures (combined
residential and nonresidential uses), that help to
reduce vehicular trips.

Consistent. The proposed land use and zon ing
change would help the city achieve a mix of uses ,
including housing, workplaces, shopping,
recreational opportunities, and institutional uses.

Project implementation would facilitate the future
development of mixed-use structures on a site with
existing pedestrian, bicycle, and tra nsit
infrastructure. Therefore, Project implementation
would introduce traditional neighborhood
development characteristics that help to reduce
vehicular trips.

Policy CD -3.4: Actively encourage mixed -use
development in order to provide a greater
spectrum of housing near businesses, alternative
modes of transportation and other activity areas.

Consistent. The Project proposes a land use and
zoning change that would allow for future mixed-use
development in an area with existing pedestrian,
bicycle, and transit infrastructure. Therefore, Project implementation would encourage mixed -use
development including commercial and residential
uses near alternative modes of transportation.

Further, through the entitlement process, future development would be reviewed for compliance with applicable regulations inclusive of those adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating environmental effects. Overall, the entitlement process would ensure that the Project complies with the General Plan, SMC, and any other applicable policies and regulations. As such, a less than significant impact would occur.

4.12.1 Environmental Setting
For the purposes of CEQA, mineral resources are land areas or deposits deemed significant by the California Department of Conservation (DOC). Mineral resources include oil, natural gas, and metallic and nonmetallic deposits, including aggregate resources. The California Geological Survey (CGS) classifies and designates areas within California that contain or potentially contain significant mineral resources. Lands are classified into Aggregate and Mineral Resource Zones (MRZs), which identify known or infer red significant mineral resources. According to the California Department of Conservation, CGS’s Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) Mineral Lands Classification (MLC) data portal, the Project site is in the MRZ-4 zone, which is an area where “geologic information is inadequate to assign to any other mineral resource zone category.” 38 In addition, the City of Salinas, inclusive of the Project site, is not within a CalGEM-recognized oilfield and there are no oil and gas wells on-site.

4.12.2 Impact Assessment
Would the project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
No Impact. The Project site is not located in an area designated for mineral resource preservation or recovery.
