Traffic
Development of a Construction Impact Mitigation
Plan as part of Design-Build Construction
Documents - designed to prevent traffic impacts on
the surrounding roadway network, minimize
parking impacts both to public parking and access
to private parking, ensure safety for
construction/demolition personnel and the public,
and prevent substantial truck traffic through
residential neighborhoods.

walkways with signage and pedestrian protection
will be provided.

REI City of SB
Dust & Debris
All areas of disturbance will be kept sufficiently wet
to control dust caused by demolition, crushing,
hauling, and wind in compliance with rigorous
SCAQMD dust emission standards. Water trucks
and attached fire hoses will be utilized to direct a
localized water spray to the source of demolition
activities – preventing the release of airborne dust
particles. Water trucks will also continuously spray
construction roads and debris piles to keep them
damp in the event of wind or disturbance. A
20,000-gallon water tower will be installed on-site
to allow for rapid filling of water trucks.

REI SCAQMD

Windscreen will be installed along the perimeter
fencing of the Project site as further containment of
the site.

REI SCAQMD

Procedure 1-3 methods under the direction and
monitoring of the CAC.

A Procedure 5 Workplan is required by SCAQMD
for the cleanup of disturbed Asbestos Containing
Materials. This plan must be developed by the
independent, third-party Certified Asbestos
Consultant.

Procedure 5 Workplans must outline the project
scope, including cause of disturbance, extent of
contamination, and CAC observations, findings,
recommendations, and response actions; asbestos
materials at the site, their condition, type, amount,
and specific locations; abatement project stages;
provisions for site preparation and control;
provisions for the prevention of contamination
migration, including ingress/egress zones;
engineering work practices and asbestos emission
controls; procedures for work area clean-up and
decontamination after bulk removal; provisions for
handling, storing, transporting, and disposing of the
asbestos-containing waste; air monitoring type(s)
and clearance level to be achieved; and the
recommended disposition of asbestoscontaminated contents/property.

SCAQMD must approve every Procedure 5
workplan. SCAQMD’s approval indicates their
agreement that the public is adequately protected
from exposure to asbestos. SCAQMD will visit the
site regularly to ensure compliance.

The CAC will be on-site to ensure the workplan is
adhered to. Deviations from the workplan can
result in penalties for the CAC and contractor.

Background
On November 8, 2022, the Planning Commission, by a vote of 6-0, with two members absent, adopted Resolution No. 2022-048 forwarding a recommendation that the Mayor and City Council (Attachment 3):

1. Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and

2. Approve Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 21-05 and Subdivision 21-11 (Tentative Tract Map 20421) based on the Findings of Fact and subject to the recommended Conditions of Approval.

Discussion
The subject property is comprised of one (1) parcel containing approximately 6.10 acres located on the southwest corner of W. Belmont Avenue and N. Olive Avenue within the northwest area of the City of San Bernardino. The project site is located within the Residential Low (RL) zone and is currently vacant and underutilized.

The intent of the Residential Low (RL) and Residential Suburban (RS) zoning classifications are described as follows, pursuant to Chapter 19.04 (Residential Zones) of the City of San Bernardino Development Code:

RL (RESIDENTIAL LOW) ZONE RS (RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN) ZONE This zone is intended to promote the
development of low-density, large lot,
single-family detached residential units
with a minimum average lot size of 10,800
square feet. The RL zone allows a
maximum density of 3.1 units per net acre.

This zone is intended to promote the
development of single-family detached
units in a suburban setting with a minimum
lot size of 7,200 square feet, and a
maximum density of 4.5 units per net acre.

The proposed project is requesting to change the Zoning District Classification of the project site to Residential Suburban (RS) in order to allow the future development of a single-family residential development comprising twenty-five (25) units.

Analysis
The project site is located on the southeast corner of W. Belmont Avenue and N. Olive Avenue within the Residential Low (RL) zone.

Table 1, below, provides a summary of the surrounding land use characteristics of the subject site and surrounding properties.

General Plan Goals and Policies
The City of San Bernardino General Plan includes goals and policies to guide future development within the City, including the following:

Packet Pg. 3148
▪ Community Design Element 5.5: Develop attractive, safe, and comfortable singlefamily neighborhoods ▪ Housing Element Goal 3.1.1: Provide adequate sites to accommodate the production of a variety of housing types through land use designation, zoning, specific plans, and overlay zones.
▪ Land Use Element Goal 2.4: Enhance the quality of life and economic vitality in San Bernardino by strategic infill of new development and revitalization of existing development.
▪ Land Use Element Goal 2.6: Control development and the use of land to minimize adverse impacts.

The proposed project implements the General Plan goals and policies in that the applicant’s proposal to subdivide the subject property for the future development of singlefamily homes will enhance the physical and visual qualities of the subject property and transform the property from a vacant underutilized site, into a future development that meets the City’s housing needs.

California Environmental Quality Act
In accordance with §15063 (Initial Study) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the applicant submitted, and the Planning Division accepted, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment E) prepared in connection with Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 21-05 and Subdivision 21-11 (Tentative Tract Map 20421). Accordingly, pursuant to §15072 (Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration) of CEQA, a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed project was posted on September 10, 2022, for the CEQA-mandated twenty (20) day public review and comment period.

During the CEQA-mandated twenty (20) day public review and comment period for the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project, comments were received in response to Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Responses from the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. Responses to the comments were prepared and included in the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (Attachment 7).

Additionally, the project includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program that incorporates all necessary measures to ensure that the proposed development does not create undue impacts in the vicinity of the project site (Attachment 1, Exhibit B). 2021-2025 Strategic Targets and Goals
Subdivision 21-11 (Tentative Tract Map 20421) aligns with Key Target No. 3: Improved Quality of Life. The proposed single-family residential subdivision consisting of twentyfive (25) single-family residential lots will improve the housing stock and align with the State of California Housing requirements by allowing the future development of additional residential units on a vacant lot, that will be compatible with and improve the surrounding area.

Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will change the Zoning District Classification from Residential Low (RL) to Residential Suburban (RS) for the entirety of the project site containing approximately 6.10 acres. The Residential Suburban (RS) Zoning District Classification is intended to provide for residential development with a maximum of 4.5 units residences per net acre. The proposed amendment will allow for the future development of a single-family subdivision comprised of twenty-five (25) detached singlefamily residences, which provides a density of 4.1 residences per acre, and is consistent with the surrounding single-family residential developments Packet Pg. 3153
Ordinance No. MC-1603
3 within the project area. Therefore, the proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:

General Plan Land Use Element Policy 2.2.1: Ensure
compatibility between land uses and quality design through adherence to standards and regulations in the Development Code and policies and guidelines in the Community Design Element.

General Plan Land Use Element Goal 2.4: Enhance the
quality of life and economic vitality in San Bernardino by strategic in-fill of new development and revitalization of existing development.

General Plan Community Design Element Goal 5.4:

Ensure individual projects are well designed and
maintained.

Finding No. 2: The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that the proposed amendment to change the Zoning District Classification of the entirety of the project site from residential Low (RL) to Residential Suburban (RS) will facilitate the future development of a single-family subdivision comprised of twenty-five (25) detached single-family residences which is consistent with the surrounding single-family residential developments.

The project site is generally flat, with access from W. Belmont Avenue and N. Olive Avenue, fully served by utility providers, and will not result in the need for the excessive provision of services. Additionally, any potential impacts created by the proposed amendment have been addressed in the Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and appropriate mitigation measures have been included within the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

Finding No. 3: The proposed amendment would maintain the appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Finding of Fact: The proposed amendment would result in the entirety of the project site having the Residential Suburban (RS) Zoning District Classification to allow for the future development of a single-family subdivision comprised of twenty-five (25) detached single-family residences. The subject property is located adjacent to an existing single-family residential neighborhood developed under the Residential Suburban (RS) classification, and would continue the established street pattern and lot configuration. Therefore, the proposed change from Residential Low (RL) to Residential Suburban (RS) for the project site would allow the proposed Packet Pg. 3154
Ordinance No. MC-1603
4 project nearby existing residential uses, thereby providing for an appropriate balance of land uses within the City.

Finding No. 4: The subject parcels are physically suitable (including, but not limited to, access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested land use designation and the anticipated land use development.

Finding of Fact: The project site is currently comprised of one (1) parcel that is proposed to be subdivided into twenty-five (25) single-family residential lots which will be consistent with the surrounding development. The project site is generally flat, with access from W. Belmont Avenue and N. Olive Avenue. Utilities are available directly from the adjacent public rights-ofway. There are no physical constraints on the site, such as steep slopes or watercourses.

SECTION 4. Development Code Amendment (Zoning Map Amendment) 21-05 is a request to allow the change of the Zoning District Classification of a parcel (APN: 0261-151-10) containing approximately 6.10 acres from Residential Low (RL) to Residential Suburban (RS), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit B, is hereby approved.

SECTION 6. The documents and materials associated with this Resolution and that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings are based are located at 290 North D Street, San Bernardino, CA 92401. The City Clerk is the custodian of the record of proceedings.

SECTION 5. Notice of Determination: The Planning Division of the Community and Economic Development Department is hereby directed to file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk of the County of San Bernardino within five (5) working days of final project approval certifying the City’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act in approving the Project.

INTRODUCTION
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires a Lead Agency to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment” (Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting, Section 15097 of the CEQA Statute and Guidelines provides additional direction on mitigation monitoring or reporting). The City of San Bernardino is the Lead Agency for the Belmont Residential Subdivision Project (the “Project”) located at the northwest corner of West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue, in the Verdemont area of the City of San Bernardino. An Initial Study has been prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the Project. Where appropriate, this environmental document identified project design features or recommended mitigation measures to avoid or to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is designed to monitor implementation of the mitigation measures identified for the Project. The MMRP is subject to review and approval by the Lead Agency as part of the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of project conditions. The required mitigation measures are listed and categorized by impact area, as identified in the Initial Study, The first column of the MMRP table identifies the Mitigation Measure. The second column identifies the monitoring schedule or timing, while the third column names the party responsible for monitoring the required action. The fourth column, “Monitoring Procedure,” outlines the steps for monitoring the action identified in the mitigation measure. The fifth and sixth columns deal with reporting and provide spaces for comments and dates and initials. These last columns will be used by the City to ensure that individual mitigation measures have been monitored.

The Project Applicant shall be responsible for implementing all mitigation measures unless otherwise noted. The MMRP performance shall be monitored and reported annually to determine the effectiveness of the measures implemented in any given year and reevaluate the mitigation needs for the upcoming year.

INTRODUCTION
Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code requires a Lead Agency to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment” (Mitigation Monitoring or Reporting, Section 15097 of the CEQA Statute and Guidelines provides additional direction on mitigation monitoring or reporting). The City of San Bernardino is the Lead Agency for the Belmont Residential Subdivision Project (the “Project”) located at the northwest corner of West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue, in the Verdemont area of the City of San Bernardino. An Initial Study has been prepared to address the potential environmental impacts of the Project. Where appropriate, this environmental document identified project design features or recommended mitigation measures to avoid or to reduce potentially significant environmental impacts of the Project. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is designed to monitor implementation of the mitigation measures identified for the Project. The MMRP is subject to review and approval by the Lead Agency as part of the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and approval of project conditions. The required mitigation measures are listed and categorized by impact area, as identified in the Initial Study, The first column of the MMRP table identifies the Mitigation Measure. The second column identifies the monitoring schedule or timing, while the third column names the party responsible for monitoring the required action. The fourth column, “Monitoring Procedure,” outlines the steps for monitoring the action identified in the mitigation measure. The fifth and sixth columns deal with reporting and provide spaces for comments and dates and initials. These last columns will be used by the City to ensure that individual mitigation measures have been monitored.

The Project Applicant shall be responsible for implementing all mitigation measures unless otherwise noted. The MMRP performance shall be monitored and reported annually to determine the effectiveness of the measures implemented in any given year and reevaluate the mitigation needs for the upcoming year.

Belmont Subdivision 1
1 Introduction
The City of San Bernardino (Lead Agency) received applications for Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low - 3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and Subdivision 21-11 Tentative Tract Map 20421 (TTM) a subdivision of 6.10-gross acres/4.43 net acres into 25 residential lots for the future construction and use of single-family detached product. The site is located at the southwest corner of W. Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue in the Verdemont area of the city of San Bernardino. The approval of the applications constitute a project that is subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 1970 (Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.), and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Section 15000 et. seq.).

This Initial Study has been prepared to assess the short-term, long-term, and cumulative environmental impacts that could result from the proposed residential subdivision project.

This report has been prepared to comply with Section 15063 of the State CEQA Guidelines, which sets forth the required contents of an Initial Study. These include:
 A description of the project, including the location of the project (See Section 2);  Identification of the environmental setting (See Section 2.9);  Identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix, or other methods, provided that entries on the checklist or other form are briefly explained to indicate that there is some evidence to support the entries (See Section 4);  Discussion of ways to mitigate significant effects identified, if any (See Section 4);  Examination of whether the project is compatible with existing zoning, plans, and other applicable land use controls (See Section 4.11); and
 The name(s) of the person(s) who prepared or participated in the preparation of the Initial Study (See Section 5).

1.1 – Purpose of CEQA
The body of state law known as CEQA was originally enacted in 1970 and has been amended a number of times since then. The legislative intent of these regulations is established in Section 21000 of the California Public Resources Code, as follows:

The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
a) The maintenance of a quality environment for the people of this state now and in the future is a matter of statewide concern.
b) It is necessary to provide a high-quality environment that at all times is healthful and pleasing to the senses and intellect of man.
c) There is a need to understand the relationship between the maintenance of high-quality ecological systems and the general welfare of the people of the state, including their enjoyment of the natural resources of the state.
d) The capacity of the environment is limited, and it is the intent of the Legislature that the government of the state takes immediate steps to identify any critical thresholds for the health and safety of the people of the state and take all coordinated actions necessary to prevent such thresholds being reached.
e) Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the environment.

Packet Pg. 3190
Introduction
2 Initial Study
f) The interrelationship of policies and practices in the management of natural resources and waste disposal requires systematic and concerted efforts by public and private interests to enhance environmental quality and to control environmental pollution. g) It is the intent of the Legislature that all agencies of the state government which regulate activities of private individuals, corporations, and public agencies which are found to affect the quality of the environment, shall regulate such activities so that major consideration is given to preventing environmental damage, while providing a decent home and satisfying living environment for every Californian.

The Legislature further finds and declares that it is the policy of the State to:
a) Develop and maintain a high-quality environment now and in the future, and take all action necessary to protect, rehabilitate, and enhance the environmental quality of the state. b) Take all action necessary to provide the people of this state with clean air and water, enjoyment of aesthetic, natural, scenic, and historic environmental qualities, and freedom from excessive noise.
c) Prevent the elimination of fish or wildlife species due to man's activities, insure that fish and wildlife populations do not drop below self-perpetuating levels, and preserve for future generations representations of all plant and animal communities and examples of the major periods of California history.
d) Ensure that the long-term protection of the environment, consistent with the provision of a decent home and suitable living environment for every Californian, shall be the guiding criterion in public decisions.
e) Create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony to fulfill the social and economic requirements of present and future generations. f) Require governmental agencies at all levels to develop standards and procedures necessary to protect environmental quality.
g) Require governmental agencies at all levels to consider qualitative factors as well as economic and technical factors and long-term benefits and costs, in addition to short-term benefits and costs and to consider alternatives to proposed actions affecting the environment.

A concise statement of legislative policy, with respect to public agency consideration of projects for some form of approval, is found in Section 21002 of the Public Resources Code, quoted below:

The Legislature finds and declares that it is the policy of the state that public agencies should not approve projects as proposed if there are feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures available which would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects of such projects, and that the procedures required by this division are intended to assist public agencies in systematically identifying both the significant effects of proposed projects and the feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures which will avoid or substantially lessen such significant effects. The Legislature further finds and declares that in the event specific economic, social, or other conditions make infeasible such project alternatives or such mitigation measures, individual projects may be approved in spite of one or more significant effects thereof.

Project Description
8 Initial Study
The site is located in the subarea known as the Verdemont Hills, which is a collection of suburban subdivisions located adjacent to I-215 and extending to the foothills east of Little League Drive.

The Residential Low and Residential Suburban land use designations characterize this subarea.

The subject site has a land use designation of Residential Low (RL), which allows for a maximum of 3.1 dwelling units per acre and requires a minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet as identified by the Land Use Element of the City of San Bernardino General Plan. The intended use for this designation is single-family detached residences in a low-density setting.

2.7 – Zoning
The project site is currently zoned Residential Low [3.1 dwelling units per acre (10,800 minimum lot size)].

2.8 – Project Description
Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low - 3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet pursuant to Chapter 19.42 Development Code Amendments of the City of San Bernardino Development Code.

Subdivision 21-11 Tentative Tract Map 20421 (TTM) a request to allow the division of a parcel containing approximately 6.10-gross acres/4.43 net acres into 25 residential lots for the future construction and use of single-family detached product together with the construction of the required on-site infrastructure improvements. The lots sizes ranges from 7,372 to 9,377 square feet with an average lot size of 7,852 square feet at a density of 4.10 dwelling units per gross acre (see Figure 3 Tentative Tract Map No. 20421).

Proposed Improvements
The project will be providing an additional two-foot road right-of-way dedication of the south side of West Belmont Avenue and the west side of Olive Avenue along the project frontages. The proposed project also includes the construction of roads with curb and gutter.

Vehicular access will be provided via Shepherd Lane for lots 1 through 10, via Rosemary Lane for lots 11 through 20 and via West Belmont Avenue for Lots 21 through 25. The applicant prepared a Traffic Scoping form for the proposal, which was reviewed by the City’s Traffic Engineer to determine whether or not a Traffic Impact Analysis was required. The City Engineer’s determined that a Traffic Impact Analysis was not required because the vehicle trips generated by the proposal was less than 250 daily trips and less than 50 peak hour trips and would therefore not create negative traffic/transportation impacts. The project is located within a low Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) generating area per the San Bernardino County Transportation Analysis screening tool and does not require further study.

The proposed project is designed to connect to existing water and sewer systems and will comply with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared, reviewed and implemented for construction activities.

Project Description
10 Initial Study
A Preliminary Water Quality Control Plan will be prepared and reviewed by the Land Development Staff for the post-construction operational management of storm water runoff, and identify Best Management Practices to minimize pollutants entering the drainage system after construction and at the time when development plans are submitted for the construction of the residential dwellings. Wet and dry utility connections would be made to existing facilities within West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue.

Project Construction
The project is a subdivision to support the future development of 25 single-family detached residential dwelling units. The project is anticipated to be built in multiple phases, however was modeled as one phase, as a worst-case scenario, with construction beginning no sooner than October 2022 and taking approximately 12 months to complete. Opening year is 2023.

2.9 – Surrounding Land Uses and Setting
The 4.43-net acre project consists of a rectangular shaped tract of land surrounded by typical suburban residential neighborhoods. The terrain in the project area is generally flat, and slopes gently downward to the south and southwest. The elevations range from 1,746 feet to 1,785 feet above mean sea level. The surface soils are alluvial in nature, consisting of fine- to coarsegrained sands mixed with silt, small to large rocks, and small boulders. Most of the property is occupied by ruderal vegetation with an isolated stand of California buckwheat scrub along the paved road (Shepherd Lane) in the southern part of the property, and a double olive tree row is located along Belmont Avenue on the northern part of the property.

The City of San Bernardino is the only land use authority for this project requiring the following approvals:
• Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low - 3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet pursuant to Chapter 19.42 Development Code Amendments of the City of San Bernardino Development Code.
• Subdivision 21-11 Tentative Tract Map 20421 (TTM) a request to allow the division of a parcel containing approximately 6.10-gross acres/4.43 net acres into 25 residential lots for the future construction and use of single-family detached product together with the construction of the required on-site infrastructure improvements.

2.11 – Other Public Agencies Whose Approval is Required Although land use authority is provided by the City of San Bernardino, the project may be subject to additional permits and/or fees by other public agencies. A summary of these additional requirements are as follows:

Standard permits through the State Water Resources Control Board for compliance with NPDES standards. These include the following: Construction Stormwater General Permit; Notice of Intent to Comply with Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP); and Approval of O&M SWPPP.

A PM‐10 Plan for compliance with Rule 401, Dust Control for the South Coast Air Basin will be required from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) at the time of site disturbance.

The project will be subject to the regional Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) as administered by the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG).

2.12 – Tribal Consultation
Have California Native American tribes traditionally and culturally affiliated with the project area requested consultation pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.3.1? If so, is there a plan for consultation that includes, for example, the determination of significance of impacts to tribal cultural resources, procedures regarding confidentiality, etc.? Yes. The consultation process has been initiated. See Section 4.18 Tribal Cultural Resources for expanded discussion.

Belmont Subdivision 13
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as onsite, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be crossreferenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.

Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

Except as provided in Public Resources Code Section 21099, would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including,
but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and
historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
c) In nonurbanized 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?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare
which would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?
Sources
Information used to prepare the Aesthetics section is from the following sources: project plans, aerial and ground-level photographs of the project area, the City of San Bernardino Updated General Plan, Chapter 5, Community Design, 2005, the California Department of Transportation website identifying the California Scenic Highway Mapping System accessed on April 4, 2022 and the City of San Bernardino Development Code.

Environmental Setting
The project site is 6.10 gross acres/4.43-net acres of undeveloped land. The project site is adjacent to West Belmont Avenue and single family residential units. The site is visible from West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue. The site is not located in an area of a designated State scenic highway and does not contain identified scenic resources such as rock outcroppings or historic buildings. The site is currently vacant and is not considered to be a scenic resource by the City of San Bernardino.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. Scenic vistas can be impacted by development in two ways. First, a structure may be constructed that blocks the view of a vista. Second, the vista itself may be altered (i.e., development on a scenic hillside). The City of San Bernardino’s General Packet Pg. 3204
16 Initial Study
Plan Natural Resources and Conservation Element states that scenic resources in the City include views of the Kendall Hills, San Bernardino Mountains, the hillsides adjacent to Arrowhead Springs, Lytle Creek Wash, East Twin Creeks Wash, the Santa Ana River, Badger Canyon, Bailey Canyon, and Waterman Canyon. The project site and surrounding area have immediate views of the San Bernardino Mountains to the northeast and east. The proposed project is located within an urbanized area visually dominated by residential land uses and surface street features. This site is not considered to be within or to comprise a portion of a scenic vista.

The project, Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low - 3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet and Subdivision 21-11 Tentative Tract Map 20421 (TTM) a subdivision of 6.10-gross acres/4.43 net acres into 25 residential lots for the future construction and use of single-family detached product would have less than significant effect on a scenic vista. The proposed amendment, subdivision and future development are generally consistent in type and scale with the existing surrounding development. In addition, all trees located on-site would be removed prior to site development and would be replaced with appropriate landscaping in accordance with the Verdemont Heights Area Plan and the City’s Development Code. With the approval of the Development Code Amendment, the proposed single-family units will have a maximum allowable height in conformance with proposed development standards of the RS Zone so as to not impede or hinder a scenic view. Therefore, the project will result in a less than significant impact on any scenic vista.
b) No Impact. The subdivision of land and the land use map change will not impact visual resources or scenic vistas. The project is not adjacent to a designated state scenic highway or eligible state scenic highway as identified on the California Scenic Highway Mapping System.

Thus, the proposed project would not damage the integrity of existing visual resources or historic buildings located along a State Scenic Highway. A less than significant impact on scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a State Scenic Highway, would result. The project site is located in a previously developed, urbanized area, and contains no scenic resources. Due to the absence of on-site scenic resources, no impact would occur.
c) Less Than Significant Impact. Development of the proposed project could result in a significant impact if it resulted in substantial degradation of the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings. Future grading of the site and construction of the single-family residences would result in short-term impacts to the existing visual character and quality of the area. Construction activities would require the use of equipment and storage of materials within the project site. However, construction activities are temporary and would not result in any permanent visual impact. Construction of the proposed buildings would alter the existing visual character of the site. Development of 25 SFRs will be subject to separate approval of a Development Permit Type-P. Upon project completion, the proposed buildings would consist of 25 single-family residential units compliant with Residential Suburban (RS) standards. The project will not substantially degrade the surroundings, as the current residentially designated land is maintained in accordance with City standards. Therefore, visual impacts to existing visual character of the site are less than significant and no mitigation is required. d) Less Than Significant Impact. Excessive or inappropriately directed lighting can adversely impact nighttime views by reducing the ability to see the night sky and stars. Glare can be caused from unshielded or misdirected lighting sources. Reflective surfaces (i.e., polished metal) can also cause glare. Impacts associated with glare range from simple nuisance to potentially dangerous situations (i.e., if glare is directed into the eyes of motorists).

Packet Pg. 3205
Belmont Subdivision 17
There are lighting sources adjacent to this site, including freestanding street lights, light fixtures on buildings, and vehicle headlights. The City of San Bernardino has established standards for the design, placement, and operation of outdoor lighting within its Development Code. The Development Code identifies preferred lighting sources, intensities, and shielding requirements.

These standards are imposed on all outdoor lighting sources and must be adhered to in order to obtain project approval. With adherence to the lighting standards established by the City, potential impacts related to light and glare would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation is necessary because Aesthetic impacts will be less than significant.

Sources
Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: California Department of Conservation, Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency and California Department of Conservation Division Of Land Resource Protection, State of California Williamson Act Contract Land Map, 2017.

Environmental Setting
The proposed project site is located in a suburban area surrounded by residential neighborhoods. According to the California Department of Conservation, Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program Map, the site is designated as urban and built up land. The site is vacant disturbed land and is zoned for residential use in the City of San Bernardino. The General Plan Foundation Component designates the site as Single-Family Residential with a land use of Residential Low. The site is not under the Williamson Act Contract as shown on the 2012 Williamson Act Lands map for San Bernardino County.

Discussion
a) No Impact. The proposed project will be located in a developed urbanized area. The map of Important Farmland in California (2010) prepared by the Department of Conservation does not identify the project site as being Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance. No Williamson Act contracts are active for the project site. The property is zoned Residential Low. Although the project site has existing vacant land, it is not under active cultivation and has not been cultivated for a number of years based on aerial mapping. The project site is currently designated as General Plan Foundation Component of Single-Family Residential with a land use of Residential Low. The proposed amendment will modify the land use designation to Residential Suburban. Therefore, because the site has not been designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, there is no impact from the project on these types of farmland.
b) No Impact. Currently, the General Plan Foundation Component is Single-Family Residential with a land use designation of Residential Low. The proposed amendment will modify the land use designation to Residential Suburban. There are other residential developments in the vicinity so the project would be compatible with the existing surroundings. The project will be developed consistent with the City Design Guidelines, so it will be aesthetically compatible with surrounding development and as stated above, the property is not subject to a Williamson Act contract.

Therefore, there will be no impacts to existing land use compatibility and no mitigation is required
c) No Impact. Public Resources Code Section 12220(g) identifies forest land as land that can support 10-percent native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits. The project site and surrounding properties are not currently being managed or used for forest land as identified in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g). The USDA Forest Service vegetation maps for the project site identify it as urban type, indicating that it is not capable of growing industrial wood tree species. The project site is surrounded by residential uses, with no substantial vegetation onsite. Therefore, development of this project will have no impact to any timberland zoning.

Packet Pg. 3207
Belmont Subdivision 19
d) No Impact. The project site is vacant; thus, there will be no loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use as a result of this project. No impact will occur. e) No Impact. The project site is a previously disturbed site within an urban environment. The project is surrounded by other residential uses. The project would not encroach onto agricultural land and would not encourage the conversion of existing farmland to non-agricultural uses. None of the surrounding sites contain existing forest uses. Development of this project will not change the existing environment in a manner that will result in the conversion of forest land to a nonforest use. No impact will occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because Agricultural and Forestry impacts will be less than significant.

Packet Pg. 3208
20 Initial Study
Environmental Setting
Local jurisdictions, such as the City of San Bernardino, have the authority and responsibility to reduce air pollution through its police power and decision-making authority. Specifically, the City is responsible for the assessment and mitigation of air emissions resulting from its land use decisions. The City is also responsible for the implementation of transportation control measures as outlined in the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). Examples of such measures include bus turnouts, energy-efficient streetlights, and synchronized traffic signals. In accordance with CEQA requirements and the CEQA review process, the City assesses the air quality impacts of new development projects, requires mitigation of potentially significant air quality impacts by conditioning discretionary permits and monitors and enforces implementation of such mitigation.

In accordance with the CEQA requirements, the City does not, however, have the expertise to develop plans, programs, procedures, and methodologies to ensure that air quality within the City and region will meet federal and state standards. Instead, the City relies on the expertise of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and utilizes the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook as the guidance document for the environmental review of plans and development proposals within its jurisdiction.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a discussion of any inconsistencies between a proposed project and applicable General Plans and Regional Plans (CEQA Guidelines Section 15125). The regional plan that applies to the proposed project includes the 2016 SCAQMD Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The Final 2016 AQMP was adopted by the South Coast AQMD Governing Board on March 3, 2017. The SCAQMD is currently preparing a 2022 update to the Final 2016 AQMP, however, it is in draft form and has not been adopted. Therefore, this section discusses any potential inconsistencies of the proposed project with the 2016 AQMP.

The purpose of this discussion is to set forth the issues regarding consistency with the assumptions and objectives of the AQMP and discuss whether the proposed project would interfere with the region’s ability to comply with Federal and State air quality standards. If the decisionmakers determine that the proposed project is inconsistent, the lead agency may consider project modifications or inclusion of mitigation to eliminate the inconsistency. The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook states that "New or amended General Plan Elements (including land use zoning and density amendments), Specific Plans, and significant projects must be analyzed for consistency with the AQMP." Strict consistency with all aspects of the plan is usually not required. A proposed project should be considered to be consistent with the AQMP if it furthers one or more policies and does not obstruct other policies. The SCAQMD CEQA Handbook identifies two key indicators of consistency:
(1) Whether the project will result in an increase in the frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new violations, or delay timely attainment of air quality standards or the interim emission reductions specified in the AQMP. (2) Whether the project will exceed the assumptions in the AQMP in 2016 or increments based on the year of project buildout and phase.

Both of these criteria are evaluated in the following sections.

A. Criterion 1 ‐ Increase in the Frequency or Severity of Violations Packet Pg. 3209
Belmont Subdivision 21
Based on the air quality modeling analysis, neither short‐term construction, nor long‐term operation of the proposed project will result in significant impacts based on the SCAQMD regional and local thresholds of significance. Therefore, the proposed project is not projected to contribute to the exceedance of any air pollutant concentration standards and is found to be consistent with the AQMP for the first criterion.

B. Criterion 2 ‐ Exceed Assumptions in the AQMP?
Consistency with the AQMP assumptions is determined by performing an analysis of the proposed project with the assumptions in the AQMP. The emphasis of this criterion is to insure that the analyses conducted for the proposed project are based on the same forecasts as the AQMP. The 2020‐2045 Regional Transportation/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTS/SCS), prepared by SCAG, 2020, includes chapters on: the plan, SoCal today, a path to greater access, mobility & sustainability, paying our way forward, measuring our progress and looking. These chapters currently respond directly to federal and state requirements placed on SCAG. Local governments are required to use these as the basis of their plans for purposes of consistency with applicable regional plans under CEQA.

The project site is currently designated as Single-Family Residential in the City of San Bernardino General Plan Land Use Element Foundation Component. The applicant is requesting approval of Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low - 3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. The proposed project is expected to result in increased operational emissions from mobile sources and energy sources, compared to the current use as vacant land. However, as shown in the regional analysis, the project is below the SCAQMD thresholds of significant for cumulative impacts. The project meets the goals of the RTS/SCS to adapt to a changing climate and support an integrated regional development pattern and transportation network and encourage development of diverse housing types in areas that are supported by multiple transportation options. The project will construct adjacent roadways to their ultimate half-width right-of-way and will benefit from regional/local transit opportunities. Based on the above, the proposed project will not result in an inconsistency with the SCAQMD AQMP. Therefore, a less than significant impact will occur.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. A project may have a significant impact if project related emissions would exceed federal, state, or regional standards or thresholds, or if project-related emissions would substantially contribute to existing or project air quality violations. The proposed project is located within the South Coast Air Basin, where efforts to attain state and federal air quality standards are governed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).

Both the State of California (State) and the Federal government have established health-based ambient air quality standards (AAQS) for seven air pollutants (known as ‘criteria pollutants’).

These pollutants include ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), inhalable particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (PM10), fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5), and lead (Pb). The State has also established AAQS for additional pollutants. The AAQS are designed to protect the health and welfare of the populace within a reasonable margin of safety. Where the state and federal standards differ, California AAQS are more stringent than the national AAQS.

Air pollution levels are measured at monitoring stations located throughout the air basin. Areas that are in nonattainment with respect to federal or state AAQS are required to prepare plans and implement measures that will bring the region into attainment. Table 4.3-1 (South Coast Air Basin Attainment Status) summarizes the attainment status in the project area for the criteria Packet Pg. 3210

Emissions
Construction Emissions
The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) version 2020.4.0 was utilized to estimate emissions from the proposed construction activities. This model was prepared by SCAQMD for use on projects occurring within the South Coast Air Basin and has been adopted by several other air districts within California. The model includes many default values which can be overridden to include site-specific data by the modeler, which requires appropriate documentation of the source.

The model estimates the daily emissions for criteria pollutants and GHGs and has allowances for mitigation measures to be applied, if required.

The project inputs for the model were estimated based on site drawings and project descriptions provided by S.D. Engineering and Associates. Assumptions are documented in the model output and are discussed in the next section.

Table 4.3-2 Construction‐Related Criteria Pollutants shows that none of the analyzed criteria pollutants would exceed the regional emissions thresholds. Furthermore, minimum requirements for SCAQMD's Rule 403 include the application of the best available dust control measures to be used for all grading operations and include the application of water or other soil stabilizers in sufficient quantity to prevent the generation of visible dust plumes. Implementation of best available dust control measures were assumed in the model to include watering of the site's exposed area two times per day, which significantly reduced PM10 and PM2.5 construction emissions. Therefore, none of SCAQMD’s thresholds would be exceeded during grading and construction after dust control measures and typical BMPs for the control of emissions are implemented. Because the model assumed compliance with SCAQMD Rules for the control of criteria pollutants, Conditions of Approval for the project will include compliance with SCAQMD’s Rule 403 as a general condition.

The greatest potential for toxic air contaminant emissions would be related to diesel particulate emissions associated with heavy equipment operations during construction of the proposed project. According to SCAQMD’s methodology, health effects from carcinogenic air toxics are usually described in terms of “individual cancer risk”. “Individual Cancer Risk” is the likelihood Packet Pg. 3211
Belmont Subdivision 23
that a person exposed to concentrations of toxic air contaminants over a 70-year lifetime will contract cancer, based on the use of standard risk-assessment methodology.

Given the relatively limited number of heavy-duty construction equipment and the short-term construction schedule, the proposed project would not result in a long-term (i.e., 70 years) substantial source of toxic air contaminant emissions and corresponding individual cancer risk.

Packet Pg. 3212

3. Mobile sources consist of emissions from vehicles and road dust.

As shown in Table 4.3-3, none of the emissions thresholds are exceeded during the operation of the project. Therefore, Air Quality impacts associated with project operation would be less than significant.

Compliance with SCAQMD Rules 402 and 403
The Permittee/Owner would be required to comply with all applicable SCAQMD rules and regulations as the SCAB is in non-attainment status for ozone and suspended particulates (PM10 and PM2.5). The Permittee/Owner would be required to comply with Rules 402 nuisance, and 403 fugitive dust, which require the implementation of Best Available Control Measures (BACMs) for each fugitive dust source, and the AQMP, which identifies Best Available Control Technologies (BACTs) for area sources and point sources. The BACMs and BACTs would include, but not be limited to the following:

1. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that any portion of the site to be graded shall be pre-watered prior to the onset of grading activities.

2. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that watering of the site or other soil stabilization method shall be employed on an on-going basis after the initiation of any grading activity on the site. Portions of the site that are actively being graded shall be watered regularly (2x daily) to ensure that a crust is formed on the ground surface and shall be watered at the end of each workday.

Packet Pg. 3213
Belmont Subdivision 25

3. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that all disturbed areas are treated to prevent erosion until the site is constructed upon.

4. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that landscaped areas are installed as soon as possible to reduce the potential for wind erosion.

5. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that all grading activities are suspended during first and second stage ozone episodes or when winds exceed 25 miles per hour.

During construction, exhaust emissions from construction vehicles and equipment and fugitive dust generated by equipment traveling over exposed surfaces, would increase NOX and PM10 levels in the area. Although the proposed project does not exceed SCAQMD thresholds during construction, the Applicant/Contractor would be required to implement the following conditions as required by SCAQMD:

1. To reduce emissions, all equipment used in grading and construction must be tuned and maintained to the manufacturer’s specification to maximize efficient burning of vehicle fuel.

2. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that existing power sources are utilized where feasible via temporary power poles to avoid on-site power generation during construction.

3. The Permittee/Owner shall ensure that construction personnel are informed of ride sharing and transit opportunities.

4. All buildings on the project site shall conform to energy use guidelines in Title 24 of the California Administrative Code.

5. The operator shall maintain and effectively utilize and schedule on-site equipment in order to minimize exhaust emissions from truck idling.

6. The operator shall comply with all existing and future California Air Resources Board (CARB) and SCAQMD regulations related to diesel-fueled trucks, which may include among others: (1) meeting more stringent emission standards; (2) retrofitting existing engines with particulate traps; (3) use of low sulfur fuel; and (4) use of alternative fuels or equipment.
c) Less Than Significant Impact. Sensitive receptors are those segments of the population that are most susceptible to poor air quality such as children, the elderly, the sick, and athletes who perform outdoors. Land uses associated with sensitive receptors include residences, schools, playgrounds, childcare centers, outdoor athletic facilities, long-term health care facilities, rehabilitation centers, convalescent centers, and retirement homes. The nearest land uses that considered sensitive receptors are the residential dwelling units located adjacent to the project site. The proposed residential subdivision and future development will not generate toxic pollutant emissions because the proposed residential use is characterized as typical residential uses that do not produce such emissions. The proposed residential development, therefore, would have a less than significant impact on sensitive receptors relating to toxic pollutant emissions.

A carbon monoxide (CO) hotspot is an area of localized CO pollution that is caused by severe vehicle congestion on major roadways, typically near intersections. CO hotspots have the potential for violation of state and federal CO standards at study area intersections, even if the broader Basin is in attainment for federal and state levels. In general, SCAQMD and the California Department of Transportation Project-Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (CO Protocol) recommend analyzing CO hotspots when a project has the potential to result in higher CO concentrations within the region and increase traffic congestion at an intersection operating at level of service (LOS) D or worse by more than two percent. There has been a decline in CO emissions over the past two decades even though vehicle miles traveled (VMT) on U.S. urban and rural roads have increased. Three major control programs have contributed to the reduced per vehicle CO emissions: exhaust standards, cleaner burning fuels, and motor vehicle inspection/maintenance Packet Pg. 3214
26 Initial Study
programs. There are no designated CO hotspots in the immediate vicinity of the project. Impacts related to CO hotspots will be less than significant.
d) Less Than Significant Impact. According to the CEQA Air Quality Handbook, land uses associated with odor complaints include agricultural operations, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, and certain industrial operations (such as manufacturing uses that produce chemicals, paper, etc.). Odors are typically associated with industrial projects involving the use of chemicals, solvents, petroleum products, and other strong-smelling elements used in manufacturing processes, as well as sewage treatment facilities and landfills. The proposed residential subdivision and future development does not include any of the above noted uses or process. The short-term construction sources may emit odors including the application of materials such as asphalt pavement, paints, and solvents and emissions from diesel equipment. However, SCAQMD Rule 1108 limits the amount of volatile organic compounds from asphalt paving; mandatory compliance with SCAQMD rules would ensure that no construction activities or materials would be included that would create a significant level of objectionable odors.

Standard construction requirements would minimize odor impacts resulting from construction activity. It should be noted that any construction odor emissions generated would be temporary, short-term, and intermittent in nature and would cease upon completion of the respective phase of construction activity. It is expected that project-generated refuse would be stored in covered containers and removed at regular intervals in compliance with the City of San Bernardino’s solid waste regulations. The project would be also required to comply with SCAQMD Rule 402 to prevent occurrences of public nuisances. Therefore, no significant adverse impacts are identified or are anticipated, and no mitigation measures are required.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because Air Quality impacts will be less than significant with standard conditions applied.

Environmental Setting
Residential dwellings are located immediately adjacent to the site to the north, south and west.

The USGS San Bernardino North, California Quadrangle (2016) does not show any blue-line channels or other water features within the boundaries of the parcel. There is no wetland or riparian habitat on site. There are no drainages or evidence of water flow.

Discussion
a) Less than Significant Impact. The property supports three distinct vegetation types. Most of the property is occupied by ruderal vegetation. An isolated stand of California buckwheat scrub is along the paved road (Shepherd Lane) in the southern part of the property, and a double olive tree row is located along Belmont Avenue on the northern part of the property.

Packet Pg. 3216
28 Initial Study
The ruderal plant community found on the property is comprised of a mix of mostly non-native (ruderal) weeds including Mediterranean beardgrass (Schismus barbataus), foxtail brome (Bromus madritensis ssp. rubens), and red-stemmed filaree (Erodium cicutarium). Native wildflowers such as telegraph weed (Heterotheca grandiflora), common fiddleneck (Amsinckia intermedia), hairy lupine (Lupinus hirsutissimus), pencil pectocarya (Pectocarya pencillata) and strigose lotus (Lotus strigosus) are scattered throughout the property.

The California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) scrub is limited to a small stand on the slope along Shepherd Lane in the southern end of the property. The dominant plant is California buckwheat scrub. Also found here is medicago (Medicago sativa), graceful buckwheat (Eriogonum gracile), common fiddleneck, strigate lotus and hairy lupine.

There is a double row of European olive (Oleo europea) trees along Belmont Avenue in the northern part of the property. The undergrowth has been mostly removed by hikers and dirt bikes, but remnants of red brome (Bromus rubens) and Mediterranean grass.

Patches of bare ground occur at scattered locations throughout the site but are most common in high-use areas. These include a section between the oak rows and along Olive Avenue where informal off-street parking has been created. Other bare areas are present mainly because of offroad trespassing and foot traffic.

Natural Resources Assessment’s field team did not observe any amphibian species. No water sources are found on the property that would be used by amphibians, and the relative lack of ground cover, rocks or shrub makes the site unsuitable for most reptile species. Side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana) and northwestern fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis occidentalis) were the only reptile species observed. Bird species seen or hear included house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna), northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), and common raven (Corvus corax). The field team observed Botta’s gopher (Thomomys bottae) burrows throughout the site. They team did not find sign of other native mammal species.

All sensitive species were considered as potentially present on the project site if its known geographical distribution encompassed all or part of the project area or if its distribution was near the site and its general habitat requirements were present. There is no habitat for sensitive plants, fish, amphibians, reptiles or mammals that were listed as potentially present in the vicinity of the property.

The parcel had extremely limited and marginal nesting habitat for ground- and shrub-nesting bird species. The European olive tree double row running east-west along the northern boundary of the property may provide nesting habitat for birds. At the time of the survey, NRA observed apparent nesting behavior by at least one Anna’s hummingbird (localized movements for foraging, continual returning to the same general location in the olive tree row). In addition, there is potential foraging habitat on site for the sensitive bird species, which includes suitable habitat on site (such as the double olive tree row) and on the adjacent properties. NRA recommends a condition be applied to the project that if construction is scheduled between February 1 and August 31 a qualified biologist conduct a breeding bird survey no more than three days prior to the start of construction to determine if nesting is occurring. If occupied nests are found, they shall not be disturbed unless the qualified biologist verifies through noninvasive methods that either (a) the adult birds have not begun egg-laying and incubation; or (b) the juveniles from the occupied nests are capable of independent survival. If the biologist is not able to verify one of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within a distance specified by the qualified biologist for each nest or nesting site. The qualified biologist will determine the appropriate distance in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Packet Pg. 3217
Belmont Subdivision 29
Due to the developed and disturbed nature of the study area, the potential for the presence of special‐status species is very low. Future development activities are expected to result in the removal of all vegetation on the site; however, cumulative impacts to the general biological resources (plants and animals) are expected to be negligible. This assumption is based on the fact the site shows a significant level of past and ongoing disturbance, and the presence of a disturbed grassland community that supports only a few plant species. In addition, impacts to wildlife species are expected to be negligible. Future development activities are not expected to have any impact on any State or Federal listed or State special status plant or animal species. If any sensitive species are observed on the property during future activities, CDFW and USFWS (as applicable) will be contacted to discuss specific mitigation measures which may be required for the individual species. CDFW and USFWS are the only agencies which can grant authorization for the "take" of any special status species, and can approve the implementation of any applicable mitigation measures. The proposed project would, therefore, not have a substantial adverse effect on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Considering the lack of habitat on the property, less than significant impact to wildlife species of concern will occur.
b) No Impact. The project site is located on land that has been previously disturbed in a primarily residential portion of the City. The site has very limited vegetation. There is no riparian habitat onsite. The USGS San Bernardino North, California Quadrangle (2016) does not show any blue-line channels or other water features within the boundaries of the parcels or in the immediate area. As such, no impact to riparian habitat or other sensitive natural habitat would occur.
c) No Impact. According to the federal National Wetlands Inventory, the project site does not contain any wetlands; furthermore, the proposed project would not disturb any offsite wetlands as no wetlands are adjacent to the project site. There is no vegetation or on-site water features indicative of potential wetlands. No impact will occur. d) No Impact. The project site is currently vacant and is surrounded by existing residential development, preventing the use of the project site and surrounding area as a wildlife corridor.

The project site contains very limited non-native vegetation, in the context of a completely urbanized setting located in the City of San Bernardino. There are no substantial vegetated areas or waterbodies located on-site. The project site does not provide for the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife. No impact will occur. e) Less Than Significant Impact. The City has a tree removal policy that states that if more than five trees are to be removed, a tree removal permit application must be submitted to and approved by the City. The project will remove the double row of olive trees as part of site preparation activities. The project would comply with policies pertaining to tree removal.

Therefore with the adherence to the tree removal policy, the project would have less than significant impacts related to this topic, and no mitigation is required. f) No Impact. The proposed project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan because neither the City of San Bernardino nor the County of San Bernardino have adopted Habitat Conservation Plan areas in the vicinity of the site according to the US Fish & Wildlife Services, Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS) mapping or any Natural Community Conservation Plan areas apply to the project site according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Regional Conservation Plans Map.

Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would have no adverse impact. No impact would occur.

Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: City of San Bernardino Updated General Plan, 2005; and CRM TECH, Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report Tentative Tract Map Number 20421 Assessor’s Parcel No. 0261-151-010, City of San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California, dated May 6, 2022.

Environmental Setting
Between February and May 2022, CRM TECH performed a cultural resources study on approximately 6.1 acres of former agricultural land in the northwestern portion of the City of San Bernardino. The purpose of the study is to provide the City with the necessary information and analysis to determine whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any “historical resources” as defined by CEQA, that may exist in or around the project area. In order to identify such resources, CRM TECH conducted a historical/archaeological resource records search, pursued historical background research, contacted Native American representatives, and carried out an intensive-level field survey.

Project archaeologist Deirdre Encarnación reviewed CRM TECH archives for recent studies on nearby properties and the records search results for those studies from the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC), California State University, Fullerton. From these data, Encarnación Packet Pg. 3219
Belmont Subdivision 31
was able to construct a coverage of existing records pertaining to an approximate half-mile scope of the records search as of December 2018. As the SCCIC has not updated its collection since the beginning of the pandemic, the coverage was considered adequate for the study.

Historical background research for the study was conducted by CRM TECH principal investigator/historian Bai “Tom” Tang using published literature in local and regional history, historical maps of the Verdemont area, and aerial/satellite photographs of the project vicinity. The maps consulted were primarily USGS topographic quadrangles dated 1901-1996, which were accessible at the USGS website. The aerial and satellite photographs, taken between 1930 and 2021, are available from the online library of the University of California, Santa Barbara, at the Nationwide Environmental Title Research (NETR) website, and through the Google Earth software.

On February 17, 2022, CRM TECH archaeologist Daniel Ballester carried out the intensive-level field survey of the project area. The survey was completed by walking a series of parallel transects oriented northeast-southwest and spaced 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) apart. In this way, the ground surface of the entire project area was systematically and carefully examined for any evidence of human activities dating to the prehistoric or historic period (i.e., 50 years or older). Ground visibility was generally excellent (90-100%) due to the light vegetative cover.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. The CRM TECH report found that historical sources indicate that the Verdemont area was settled, albeit sparsely, and developed for agricultural purposes at least by the late 19th century, but the only activity known to have taken place within the project boundaries during the historic period was farming, specifically horticulture. By the mid-1890s, the forerunners of present-day Olive Avenue and Belmont Avenue had been laid out along the project boundaries, while a few buildings, presumably farmsteads, were noted nearby but not within or adjacent to the project area. In the 1930s-1950s, the entire project area, much as the rest of the land in the surrounding area, was under cultivation as part of an extensive orchard, most likely a citrus grove. On the northeastern edge of the project area, three rows of trees, undoubtedly represented by the olive trees that remain extant today, had been planted along Belmont Avenue, apparently as a windbreak for the orchard. The three rows of trees originally extended some 700 feet in length, from Olive Avenue to the halfway point between that street and Palm Avenue, or twice the width of the current project area. By the late 1950s, the orchard in and near the project area had evidently been abandoned, and the land was subsequently cleared sometime before the mid-1960s. The olive windbreak along Belmont Avenue survived for two more decades before the northwestern half, outside the current project boundaries, was eventually removed between 1980 and 1984, during a residential development on the adjacent property. Since then, much of the land around the project location has been developed into suburban residential tracts, but the project area itself has remained undeveloped to the present time. A paved road that provides access to the adjacent neighborhood from Olive Avenue, now a part of Shepherd Lane, was built across the southern portion of the property in the 1980s, while the rest of the project area has been largely unused over the past few decades.

During the field survey, the surviving segment of the olive windbreak along Belmont Avenue was recorded into the California Historical Resources Inventory as a historical landscape feature and designated temporarily as Site 3837-1H, pending assignment of an official primary number by the SCCIC once the information center resumes normal operation. The site consists of two rows of olive trees extending the entire width of the project area and the remnants of the third row lying farther from Belmont Avenue. In total, there are approximately 50 trees at the site, and they appear to have been unkempt for many years. No other features or artifact deposits of prehistoric or historical origin were encountered within the project boundaries. The ground surface in the project area has been disturbed by many decades of agricultural operations, by recent Packet Pg. 3220
32 Initial Study
development on adjacent properties, and by the construction of Shepherd Lane across the southern portion. Scattered domestic refuse was found over much of the property, especially along the edges of the Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue rights-of-way, but all of the items are clearly modern in origin, and none of them demonstrate any historical or archaeological interest.

In summary of the research results presented above, Site 3837-1H, consisting of the remaining portion of an olive tree windbreak that predated the 1930s, is the only potential “historical resource” identified within the project area. Having lost its northwestern reach to residential development on adjacent land in the 1980s, the segment of the windbreak remaining today represents roughly half of the original length, and some of the trees in this segment have been removed as well. Furthermore, with the end of all agricultural operations in the vicinity in the 1950s-1960s and the proliferation of residential development on surrounding properties since the 1980s, the agrarian setting of the windbreak no longer exists. As a ubiquitous and fragmented feature of the agricultural infrastructure that survives out of context, Site 3837-1H retains little integrity to relate to any persons or events in its history or to its period of origin, nor does it exhibit any notable aesthetic value or the potential to yield any important archaeological data. As such, Site 3837-1H does not appear to meet any of the criteria for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources and thus does not qualify of a “historical resource,” as defined by CEQA and the associated regulations. Therefore, the development of the project site into a residential development would have no impact on historic resources and no mitigation is required. b) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. The property is a previously disturbed site in an urbanized area. The CRM TECH field survey yielded completely negative results for potential cultural resources, and no buildings, structures, objects, sites, features, or artifacts of prehistoric or historical origin were encountered within or adjacent to the project area.

Scattered modern refuse was observed on much of the property, especially along Belmont Avenue, but none of items was of any historical/archaeological interest. No known archaeological sites are documented.

The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department (YSMN) has commented that the proposed project area exists within Serrano ancestral territory and, therefore, is of interest to the Tribe. They noted that due to the nature and location of the proposed project, and given the CRM Department’s present state of knowledge, YSMN does not have any concerns with the project’s implementation, as planned, at this time.

In accordance with standard City procedures, a halt-work condition would be in place in the unlikely event that archaeological resources are discovered during construction. The contractor would be required to halt work in the immediate area of the find and to retain a professional archaeologist to examine the materials to determine whether they are a “unique archaeological resource” as defined in Section 21083.2(g) of the State CEQA Statutes. If this determination is positive, the scientifically consequential information must be fully recovered by the archaeologist consistent with standard City protocol. However, if during grading, any archaeological resources are uncovered Mitigation Measures CR‐1 and CR-2 will be implemented. See Mitigation Measures section below for the list of actions. Implementation of the Mitigation Measures CR-1 and CR-2 would reduce impacts to archaeological resources to a less than significant level. c) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. It is unlikely that human remains could be uncovered during grading operations, considering that the project site was previously disturbed during past agricultural operations. Nonetheless, should suspected human remains be encountered, the contractor would be required to notify the County Coroner in accordance with Section 7050.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, who must then determine whether the remains are of forensic interest. If the Coroner, with the aid of a supervising archaeologist, determines that the remains are or appear to be of a Native American, Packet Pg. 3221
Belmont Subdivision 33
he/she would be required to contact the Native American Heritage Commission for further investigations and proper recovery of such remains, if necessary. Through this existing regulatory procedure, impacts to human remains would be avoided. Mitigation Measure CR‐3 shall be implemented to ensure that impacts in regard to disturbance of human remains are reduced to less than significant. See Mitigation Measure section below for the action.

Mitigation Measures
YSMN requests that the following language be made a part of the project/permit/plan conditions:

CR-1: In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60‐foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period.

Additionally, the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department shall be contacted regarding any pre‐contact and/or historic‐era finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment.

CR-2: If significant pre‐contact and/or historic‐era cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation for review and comment. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and implement the Plan accordingly.

CR-3: If human remains or funerary objects are encountered during any activities associated with the project, work in the immediate vicinity (within a 100‐foot buffer of the find) shall cease and the County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and Safety Code §7050.5 and that code enforced for the duration of the project.

Sources
Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: City of San Bernardino Updated General Plan, 2005, California Energy Commission (CEC) website, California Energy Commission, 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards For Residential and Nonresidential Buildings and California Emissions Estimator Model 2020.4.0.

Environmental Setting
Energy resources include electricity, natural gas and other fuels. The production of electricity requires the consumption or conversion of energy resources, including water, wind, oil, gas, coal, solar, geothermal, and nuclear resources, into energy. Energy production and energy use both result in the depletion of nonrenewable resources (e.g., oil, natural gas, coal, etc.) and emission of pollutants. Energy usage is typically quantified using the British Thermal Unit (BTU). The BTU is the amount of energy that is required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. As points of reference, the approximate amount of energy contained in a gallon of gasoline, 100 cubic feet (one therm) of natural gas, and a kilowatt hour of electricity are 123,000 BTUs, 100,000 BTUs, and 3,400 BTUs, respectively.

Existing Electricity Consumption
Southern California Edison is the service provider for electric. The electricity generated is distributed through a network of transmission and distribution lines commonly called a power grid.

Conveyance of electricity through transmission lines is typically responsive to market demands.

The delivery of electricity involves a number of system components, including substations and transformers that lower transmission line power (voltage) to a level appropriate for on-site distribution and use. The site will be served via an underground electrical distribution system.

According to the California Energy Commission (CEC), total system electric generation for California in 2021 was 277,764 gigawatt-hours (GWh). California’s non-CO2 emitting electric generation categories (nuclear, large hydroelectric, and renewable generation) accounted for more than 49 percent of total in-state generation for 2021. California's electricity imports were 83,636 GWh.

Existing Natural Gas Consumption
Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) is responsible for providing natural gas supply to the City and is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission and other state agencies. There are gas lines serving the project site within West Belmont Avenue. Natural gas is a combustible mixture of simple hydrocarbon compounds (primarily methane) that is used as a fuel source.

Natural gas consumed in California is obtained from naturally occurring reservoirs and delivered through high-pressure transmission pipelines. The natural gas transportation system is a nationwide network. Natural gas is used in electricity generation, space heating, cooking, water heating, industrial processes, and as a transportation fuel. Natural gas is measured in terms of cubic feet. According to the CEC, nearly 45 percent of the natural gas burned in California was used for electricity generation, with the remainder consumed in the residential (21 percent), industrial (25 percent), and commercial (9 percent) sectors. In 2012, total natural gas demand in California for industrial, residential, commercial, and electric power generation was 2,313 billion cubic feet.

Packet Pg. 3223
Belmont Subdivision 35
Existing Transportation Energy
According to the California Energy Commission, transportation accounts for a major portion of California's overall energy consumption and has a significant impact on air quality. It is also the single largest source of the state's greenhouse gas emissions. Since 1975, the California Energy Commission has promoted a secure, affordable, reliable, and environmentally sound transportation energy infrastructure by ensuring that the supply, production, distribution, and price of petroleum fuels and other blending components are available to meet demand; and viable alternative, lowcarbon, and renewable fuel options exist. The proposed residential subdivision and future housing generates transportation energy demand from vehicles traveling to and from the site.

Transportation fuels, primarily gasoline and diesel, would be provided by local or regional suppliers, vendors, and residents.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. The future housing project would be constructed in a single phase with overlapping development activities. Building construction could commence as early as 2023, pending approval for housing plans, with full buildout and occupancy of the project anticipated by 2024.

Electricity Consumption
Based on the air quality modeling, the proposed project has an average annual electricity demand of approximately 199,117 kilowatt hour (kWh) per year. Electrical power would be consumed to construct the project. The demand would be supplied from existing electrical services adjacent to the project site and local extensions. Construction of the proposed project would require the use of construction equipment for grading, hauling, and building activities. Equipment proposed for these types of activities during construction would vary during different phases of construction— the majority of construction equipment during grading would be gas powered or diesel powered, and the later construction phases would require electricity-powered equipment, such as interior construction and architectural coatings. Construction also includes the vehicles of construction workers traveling to and from the project site and haul trucks for the export of materials from site clearing and the export and import of soil for grading. Since the project site area is already served by onsite electrical infrastructure by SCE, adequate infrastructure capacity is available to accommodate the electricity demand for construction activities and would not require expanded infrastructure. The construction contractors are also anticipated to minimize idling of construction equipment during construction and reduce construction waste by recycling. These required practices would limit wasteful and unnecessary electrical energy consumption. Furthermore, there are no unusual project characteristics that would necessitate the use of construction equipment that would be less energy efficient than at comparable construction sites in other parts of the state. Therefore, the proposed short-term construction activities would not result in inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary fuel consumption and impacts on electricity supply and infrastructure associated with short-term construction activities would be less than significant.

Natural Gas Consumption
Based on the air quality modeling, the proposed project has an average annual natural gas demand of 707,174 thousand British thermal units (kBTU) per year. Southern California Gas Company (SCGC) provides natural gas service for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.

SCGC purchases natural gas from several bordering states. Most of the major natural gas transmission pipelines within the City are owned and operated by SCGC. The CPUC regulates SCGC, who is the default provider required by state law, for natural gas delivery to the City.

SCGC has the capacity and resources to deliver gas except in certain situations that are noted in Packet Pg. 3224
36 Initial Study
state law. As development occurs, SCGC will continue to extend its service to accommodate development and supply the necessary gas lines. SCGC does not base its service levels on the demands of the City; rather, it makes periodic upgrades to provide service for particular projects and new development. SCGC is continuously expanding its network of gas pipelines to meet the needs of new commercial and residential developments in Southern California. SCGC can provide additional connections if necessary once utility plans are finalized for the proposed project.

Impacts to natural gas services would be less than significant and would not result in inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary natural gas consumption. Natural gas is not expected to be consumed in any substantial quantities during construction of the project. Therefore, project impacts on energy and gas associated with construction activities would be less than significant.

Transportation Energy
Site preparation, grading, paving, and building construction would consume energy in the form of gasoline and diesel fuel through the operation of heavy off-road equipment, trucks, and worker traffic. Consumption of such resources would be temporary and would cease upon the completion of construction. Due to the limited scale of the proposed project and the provision to limit idling, construction activities would not result in inefficient energy consumption during construction. As such, construction-related energy impacts would be less than significant. Operation Long-term operational energy use associated with the project includes electricity and natural gas consumption associated with the new buildings (e.g., lighting, electronics, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration), energy consumption related to water usage and solid waste disposal, and fuel consumption (gasoline and diesel) by vehicles associated with the project through the generation of new vehicle trips. The California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) Version 2020.4.0 was used to estimate energy use at project operation. At operation, the proposed project would result in the consumption of approximately 199,117 kWh of electricity per year. At operation, the proposed project would result in the consumption of approximately 707,174 kBTU of natural gas per year. At operation, the proposed project would result in the consumption of petroleum-and diesel fuel related to vehicular travel quantified as vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to and from the project site with the projected annual estimate of 796,807 VMT (unmitigated) for the project. The project’s consumption of gasoline and diesel would represent an insignificant fraction of statewide consumption. Therefore, the project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of petroleum-based fuel during project operation. As such, operationalrelated energy impacts related to the consumption of petroleum-based fuel would be less than significant.

The project would also result in energy consumption for the provision of potable water to the residences through supply, treatment, and distribution. The project would comply with the Green Code, which includes standards to reduce potable water demand for both indoor and outdoor use.

By limiting water demand on-site through efficient irrigation of landscaping and water-efficient fixtures and appliances indoors, the wasteful or inefficient use of water would be reduced.

Therefore, energy consumption associated with water use would be minimized. The greenhouse gas emissions analysis described in Section 4.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions shows that the project’s total emissions from all energy use, including solid waste management and water conveyance, will not exceed the SCAQMD threshold. The GHG analysis concludes that the project’s emissions will be below the established threshold, which supports a conclusion that the project’s use of energy will not be wasteful or inefficient. The proposed project will also be required to comply with Title 24 standards to improve energy efficiency of the future structures.

The future housing will conform to San Bernardino’s Development Code which specifies lighting standards for all new exterior lighting, such as the requirement that outdoor lighting fixtures utilize energy-efficient fixtures and lamps. The future housing development will also conform to landscaping plant materials being selected for energy efficiency and drought tolerance, and that the landscape plan be designed to minimize energy demand. As such, the proposed project would Packet Pg. 3225
Belmont Subdivision 37
not result in the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of electricity and natural gas during project operation. Therefore, operational-related energy impacts related to electricity and natural gas would be less than significant. In conclusion, energy would be consumed through daily activities the future buildings, the delivery of water for potable and irrigation purposes, solid waste management, and daily vehicle use. While the long-term operation of the project would result in an increase in energy consumption compared to existing conditions, the project will incorporate design measures (related to electricity, natural gas and water use) in compliance with Title 24, the Updated General Plan, and Development Code to minimize energy consumption. As such, the project would promote energy efficiency. Therefore, operation of the proposed project would not result in the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy. b) Less Than Significant Impact. The project would be designed in a manner that is consistent with relevant energy conservation plans designed to encourage development that results in the efficient use of energy resources. The project would comply with the San Bernardino Green Building Code to reduce energy consumption by implementing energy efficient building designs, reducing indoor and outdoor water demand, and installing energy-efficient appliances and equipment. These measures are consistent with the City’s sustainability and smart-growth goals of improving energy and water efficiency in buildings, decreasing per-capita water use, using energy efficient appliances and equipment, and creating a more livable city. When implemented, the planned City actions may further decrease energy consumption from the project. These actions are not under the control of the project; however, they would nonetheless further reduce project-related energy use from nonrenewable sources.

The future housing project would also implement features that would result in energy reductions beyond those specified by regulation by incorporating energy efficient design features. The project would incorporate water conservation, energy conservation, tree-planting, and other features for energy conservation. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the City’s applicable plans for conserving energy and impacts would be less than significant.

The project would utilize construction contractors who demonstrate compliance with applicable CARB regulations restricting the idling of heavy-duty diesel motor vehicles and governing the accelerated retrofitting, repowering, or replacement of heavy duty diesel on- and off-road equipment. CARB has adopted an Airborne Toxic Control Measure to limit heavy-duty diesel motor vehicle idling in order to reduce public exposure to diesel particulate matter and other toxic air contaminants. The measure prohibits diesel-fueled commercial vehicles greater than 10,000 pounds from idling for more than 5 minutes at any given time. While intended to reduce construction emissions, compliance with the above anti-idling and emissions regulations would also result in energy savings from the use of more fuel efficient engines. According to the CARB staff report that was prepared at the time the anti-idling Airborne Toxic Control Measure was being proposed for adoption in late 2004/early 2005, the regulation was estimated to reduce nonessential idling and associated emissions of diesel particulate matter and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions by 64 and 78 percent respectively in analysis year 2009. These reductions in emissions are directly attributable to overall reduced idling times and the resultant reduced fuel consumption.

CARB has also adopted emission standards for off-road diesel construction equipment of greater than 25 hp. The emissions standards are referred to as “tiers” with Tier 4 being the most stringent (i.e., less polluting). The requirements are phased in, with full implementation for large and medium fleets by 2023 and for small fleets by 2028. Field testing from construction equipment manufacturers has shown that higher tier equipment results in lower fuel consumption.

For example, Tier 4 interim engines have shown a 5 percent reduced fuel consumption compared to a Tier 3 engine. Similar reductions in fuel consumption have been shown for Tier 3 engines compared to a Tier 2 engine.

38 Initial Study
The daily operation of the project would generate demand for electricity, natural gas, and water supply, as well as generating wastewater requiring conveyance, treatment and disposal off-site and municipal solid waste requiring collection and transport off-site. The project would comply with or exceed the applicable provisions of Title 24 and the Green Code in effect at the time of building permit issuance. The 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards focused on several key areas to improve the energy efficiency of newly constructed buildings. The most significant efficiency improvements to the residential Standards includes the introduction of photovoltaic into the prescriptive package, improvements for attics, walls, water heating, and lighting. The future housing project would be designed to include numerous energy and waste reduction features that would allow the project to comply with and exceed the Title 24 standards and achieve greater energy savings than required by state regulations. Therefore, future construction and operation of the project would be consistent with State and federal energy standards and would be designed to include numerous energy and waste saving features as well as waste reduction features that would achieve greater energy savings than required. The project would also be sited in a transportation-efficient location and achieve reductions in VMT from private automobiles traveling to and from the site consistent with the 2020 RTP/SCS. As a result, impacts would be less than significant.

Mitigation Measures
With the compliance with existing regulations, the project would not result in significant impacts associated with Energy.

Environmental Setting
The site is situated within the southern Peninsular Ranges Geomorphic Province in Southern California. Geologic structures within this Province trend mostly northwest, in contrast to the prevailing east-west trend in the neighboring Transverse Ranges Geomorphic Province to the north. The Peninsular Range Province extend into lower California, and is bounded by the Colorado Desert to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains to the north. The elevations range from 1,746 feet to 1,785 feet above mean sea level.

Topographically, the terrain in the project area is generally flat, and slopes gently downward to the south and southwest. Local development adjacent to the site is residential. The property is currently undeveloped open land with non-native vegetation. Olive trees were noted in the northern area of the site.

The paleontological records search service for the CRM TECH Paleontological Resources Assessment Report was provided by the Western Science Center (WSC) in Hemet, California. The WSC maintains files of regional paleontological localities as well as supporting maps and Packet Pg. 3228
40 Initial Study
documents. The records search results were used to identify previously performed paleontological resource assessments as well as known paleontological localities within a one-mile radius of the project area. In conjunction with the records searches, CRM TECH report writer Deirdre Encarnación reviewed geological literature pertaining to the project vicinity under the direction of project geologist/paleontologist Harry M. Quinn, California Professional Geologist #3477. Sources consulted during the review include primarily topographic, geologic, and soil maps of the San Bernardino area, published geological literature on regional geology, and other materials in the CRM TECH library, including unpublished reports produced during similar surveys in the vicinity.

On February 17, 2022, CRM TECH paleontological surveyor Daniel Ballester carried out the field survey of the project area under Harry M. Quinn’s direction. The survey was completed by walking a series of parallel transects oriented northeast-southwest and spaced 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) apart. In this way, the ground surface in the entire project area was systematically and carefully examined to determine the soil types, to verify the geologic formations, and to look for any indications of paleontological remains. Ground visibility was generally excellent (90-100%) due to the light vegetative cover.

Discussion
a.i) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in the highly seismic Southern California region within the influence of several fault systems. However, the site does not lie within the boundaries of an Earthquake Fault Zone as defined by the State of California in the AlquistPriolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act.

Risks associated with surface rupture are low and there is no impact expected. However, because the project site is located in the seismically active Southern California, all habitable structures including single family homes must be built to seismic standards established in the California Building Code (CBC). The CBC sets the standards in the State for the development of all buildings including residential buildings and sets requirements for structural design, plumbing and mechanical fixtures, fire and smoke protection, construction materials, interior finishes, and any other elements that make up construction of habitable structures. The City’s Building and Safety Department is responsible for implementing not only the CBC but any additional code requirements that the City may have. Adherence to all code requirements for the future construction of the 25 houses will ensure that impacts associated with seismic activity are less than significant and no additional mitigation is required a.ii) Less Than Significant Impact. Although there are no known active surface faults within or adjacent to the site that will significantly impact the project, the project is located in a region with active earthquakes and strong seismic motion of those earthquakes could affect the project.

The future structures that will be constructed on the site will be required to meet and comply with all applicable city and State building codes to reduce seismic ground shaking at the site to lessthan-significant. a.iii) Less Than Significant Impact. Liquefaction is a mode of ground failure that results from the generation of high pore water pressures during earthquake ground shaking, causing loss of shear strength. Liquefaction is typically a hazard where loose sandy soils exist below groundwater. The California Geological Survey (CGS) has designated certain areas within southern California as potential liquefaction hazard zones. These are areas considered at a risk of liquefaction-related ground failure during a seismic event, based upon mapped surficial deposits and the presence of a relatively shallow water table. According to the Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, owing to the depth to groundwater (+100-ft) and the dense compacted building pad and medium dense alluvial deposits underlying the subject site, liquefaction on the subject site is anticipated to be low and further analysis appears to be unwarranted at this time. Other geologic Packet Pg. 3229
Belmont Subdivision 41
hazards related to liquefaction, such as lateral spreading, are therefore also considered low.

Impacts would be less than significant.
a.iv) No Impact. Structures built below or on slopes subject to failure or landslides may expose people and structures to harm. The subject property is in an area of flat gently sloping terrain, with no slopes within 1km of the subject site. The site elevation is approximately from 1,746 feet to 1,785 feet above mean sea level. Topographically, the site is generally flat. The site is not located in an Earthquake-Induced Landslide Zone. This indicates a low probability for landslides.

The project report concluded that the site is not considered susceptible to static slope instability or seismically induced landslides. Grading and construction would be performed in compliance with State and local codes and the recommendations of the geotechnical report. There is no potential impact to future residents from landslides.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. Topsoil is used to cover surface areas for the establishment and maintenance of vegetation due to its high concentrations of organic matter and microorganisms. Little, if any, native topsoil is likely to occur on site. The Preliminary Geologic Map of the San Bernardino 30’x60’ Minute Quadrangle, (Doug M. Morton & Fred K. Miller, 2003) indicates the formational earth materials underlying the subject site to be Quaternary Aged Young Alluvial Fan Deposits, (map symbol Qyf3). Soils were visually classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System as silty Sand (Unified Soil Classification – SM). This unit was immediately beneath the undocumented fill and extended to the total depth explored of 12-ft bgs.

During project construction, fill materials will be overexcavated to reveal underlying soils within the building footprint area. The project has the potential to expose surficial soils to wind and water erosion during construction activities.

Wind erosion will be minimized through soil stabilization measures required by South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust), such as daily watering.

Construction of the project will be required to have a PM10 Dust Control Plan to identify best management practices for the control fugitive dust. The intent of SCAQMD Rule 403 is to reduce the amount of particulate matter entrained in the ambient air as a result of anthropogenic (manmade) fugitive dust sources by requiring actions to prevent, reduce or mitigate fugitive dust emissions. Elements of the Dust Control Plan may appear as notes on the grading plan that must be approved by the City prior to any site disturbance.

Water erosion will be prevented through the City’s standard erosion control practices required pursuant to the California Building Code and the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), such as silt fencing or sandbags. Construction of the project will be required to have a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Any project involving grading of an area greater than one acre is required to apply for an NPDES permit from the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The project’s SWPPP would identify typical best management practices specific towards fugitive dust and containment of sediment discharge and transport from the site.

Once construction is completed, a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) must be implemented during the life of the project that includes best management practices (BMPs) specific towards maintenance of vegetative landscaping, drainage culverts/channels and drainage inlets. Following project construction, the site would be covered completely by paving, structures, and landscaping. Compliance with regulatory requirements of the RWQCB and of SCAQMD would ensure that impacts with regard to soil erosion or loss of topsoil are less than significant and no mitigation is required.
c) Less Than Significant Impact. Impacts related to liquefaction and landslides are discussed above in Section 4.7.a. Lateral spreading is the downslope movement of surface sediment due to liquefaction in a subsurface layer. The downslope movement is due to gravity and earthquake Packet Pg. 3230
42 Initial Study
shaking combined. Such movement can occur on slope gradients of as little as one degree.

Lateral spreading typically damages pipelines, utilities, bridges, and structures.

Lateral spreading of the ground surface during a seismic activity usually occurs along the weak shear zones within a liquefiable soil layer and has been observed to generally take place toward a free face (i.e. retaining wall, slope, or channel) and to lesser extent on ground surfaces with a very gentle slope. Due to the absence of any substantial change in grade or channel within or near the subject site, and the subsurface soil conditions that are not conducive to liquefaction, the potential for lateral spread occurring within the site is considered to be low. The project-specific geotechnical investigation report concludes that site soils would be capable of supporting proposed structures after grading and compaction. The project will require mass grading and a grading plan that identifies best grading practices for cut and fill, compactionand drainage will be prepared prior to any site disturbance. The project is required to be constructed in accordance with the CBC and the requirements of the project soils investigation report. The CBC includes a requirement that any City-approved recommendations contained in the soil report be made conditions of the building permit. Based on the considerations of the project soil report, soils can be prepared to maintain stability sufficient to support the proposed project. The recommendations of the report will be implemented through the City’s routine plan check and permitting processes.

Impacts will be less than significant.
d) No Impact. The CBC requires special design considerations for foundations of structures built on soils with expansion indices greater than 20. The geotechnical investigation report included testing of site soil samples within the proposed building footprint for expansion potential. Based on laboratory testing, the upper foundation soil is classified as low in expansion potential.

Therefore, there would be no impact
e) No Impact. The proposed project will be connected to the City of San Bernardino Public Work’s sewer system and no septic system or any alternative wastewater treatment is proposed.

Therefore, there will be no impact in terms of soil support for septic tanks. f) Less Than Significant Impact. The property is in an urbanized area. Records of the WSC identified no fossil localities within the project area or within a one-mile radius (Stoneburg 2022).

The WSC states that the geologic units underlying the project area are primarily alluvial fan gravel and sand from the Holocene Epoch, while surrounding soils include Pleistoceneage alluvial fan gravel, sand, and boulder gravel, mica schist of Mesozoic age, Cretaceous granitic rocks, and Precambrian gneiss. Although the Holocene-age alluvial soils have high preservation value, they are unlikely to contain fossil material based on the relatively recent age of the deposits. In light of the sediments present within the project area, the WSC concludes that fossil material is unlikely to be present within the depth to be impacted by the proposed development (Stoneburg 2022).

However, the WSC further observes that, should the project require a substantial depth of disturbance, the sensitivity of the subsurface soils for paleontological remains would increase with the likelihood of reaching deeply buried Pleistocene alluvial sediments. The WSC therefore recommends that “caution during development should be observed”.

No paleontological localities were previously reported within the project area, and no indications of any fossil remains were found in the surface sediments during the CRM TECH study. The records search identified no fossil localities within one mile of the project area, and both the literature review and records search suggest that the entire project area is situated upon surface exposures of relatively recent alluvium that is unlikely to contain fossil material. Excavations within the project area would have to be of substantial depths to impact potentially fossiliferous Pleistocene sediments. Based on these findings, the proposed project’s potential to impact significant, nonrenewable paleontological resources appears to be low within the typical depth of disturbance for residential development but potentially high at a greater but unknown depth. Therefore, no Packet Pg. 3231
Belmont Subdivision 43
paleontological resource impact mitigation program is recommended for the proposed project unless a greater depth of disturbance is anticipated than typical surface grading and underground utility installation would require. However, if any potential paleontological remains are unearthed during the project, all work in the immediate area should be halted or diverted until a qualified paleontologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the finds.

In accordance with standard City procedures, a halt-work condition would be in place in the unlikely event that paleontological resources are discovered during construction. The contractor would be required to halt work in the immediate area of the find and to retain a professional paleontologist to examine the materials to determine whether they are a unique paleontological resource. If this determination is positive, the scientifically consequential information must be fully recovered by the paleontologist consistent with standard City protocol. However, if during grading, any paleontological resources are uncovered Condition of Approval G-1 will be implemented. See Conditions Section below for the list of actions.

Conditions of Approval
G‐1: If subsurface paleontological resources are encountered during grading or construction, all ground‐disturbing activity will cease within 100 feet of the resource. A qualified paleontologist will be retained by the City/applicant to assess the find, and to determine whether the resource requires further study. No further grading will occur in the area of the discovery until the City approves the measures to protect the resources. Any archaeological artifacts or paleontological resources recovered as a result of mitigation will be donated to a qualified scientific institution approved by the City where they would be afforded long‐term preservation to allow future scientific study.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because impacts to Geology and Soils will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
Constituent gases of the Earth’s atmosphere, called atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG), play a critical role in the Earth’s radiation amount by trapping infrared radiation emitted from the Earth’s surface, which otherwise would have escaped to space. Prominent greenhouse gases contributing to this process include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), ozone, water vapor, nitrous oxide (N2O), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). This phenomenon, known as the Greenhouse Effect, is responsible for maintaining a habitable climate. Anthropogenic (caused or produced by humans) emissions of these greenhouse gases in excess of natural ambient concentrations are responsible for the enhancement of the Greenhouse Effect and have led to a trend of unnatural warming of the Earth’s natural climate, known as global warming or climate change. Emissions of gases that induce global warming are attributable to human activities associated with industrial/manufacturing, agriculture, utilities, transportation, and residential land uses.

Transportation is responsible for 41 percent of the State’s greenhouse gas emissions, followed by electricity generation. Emissions of CO2 and nitrous oxide (NOx) are byproducts of fossil fuel combustion. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, results from off-gassing associated with agricultural practices and landfills. Sinks of CO2, where CO2 is stored outside of the atmosphere, include uptake by vegetation and dissolution into the ocean.

The project is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).

SCAQMD Regulation XXVII, Climate Change. SCAQMD Regulation XXVII currently includes three rules:
■ The purpose of Rule 2700 is to define terms and post global warming potentials. ■ The purpose of Rule 2701, SoCal Climate Solutions Exchange, is to establish a voluntary program to encourage, quantify, and certify voluntary, high quality certified greenhouse gas emission reductions in the SCAQMD.
■ Rule 2702, Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program, was adopted on February 6, 2009. The purpose of this rule is to create a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program for greenhouse gas emission reductions in the SCAQMD. The SCAQMD will fund projects through contracts in response to requests for proposals or purchase reductions from other parties.

Varieties of agencies have developed greenhouse gas emission thresholds and/or have made recommendations for how to identify a threshold. However, the thresholds for projects in the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD remain in flux. The California Air Pollution Control Officers Association explored a variety of threshold approaches, but did not recommend one approach (2008). The ARB recommended approaches for setting interim significance thresholds (California Air Resources Board 2008b), in which a draft industrial project threshold suggests that non‐transportation related emissions under 7,000 MTCO2e per year would be less than significant; however, the ARB has not approved those thresholds and has not published anything since then. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District and the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District have both developed greenhouse gas thresholds. However, those thresholds are not applicable to the project since the project is under the jurisdiction of the SCAQMD. The SCAQMD is in the process of developing thresholds, as discussed below.

Packet Pg. 3233
Belmont Subdivision 45
SCAQMD Threshold Development. On December 5, 2008, the SCAQMD Governing Board adopted an interim greenhouse gas significance threshold for stationary sources, rules, and plans where the SCAQMD is lead agency (SCAQMD permit threshold). The SCAQMD permit threshold consists of five tiers. However, the SCAQMD is not the lead agency for this project. Therefore, the five permit threshold tiers do not apply to the proposed project. The SCAQMD is in the process of preparing recommended significance thresholds for greenhouse gases for local lead agency consideration (“SCAQMD draft local agency threshold”); however, the SCAQMD Board has not approved the thresholds as of the date of preparation of this document. The current draft thresholds consist of the following tiered approach:
■ Tier 1 consists of evaluating whether or not the project qualifies for any applicable exemption under CEQA.
■ Tier 2 consists of determining whether the project is consistent with a greenhouse gas reduction plan. If a project is consistent with a qualifying local greenhouse gas reduction plan, it does not have significant greenhouse gas emissions.
■ Tier 3 consists of screening values, which the lead agency can choose, but must be consistent with all projects within its jurisdiction. A project’s construction emissions are averaged over 30 years and are added to a project’s operational emissions. If a project’s emissions are under one of the following screening thresholds, then the project is less than significant:
• All land use types: 3,000 MTCO2e per year
• Based on land use type: residential: 3,500 MTCO2e per year; commercial: 1,400 MTCO2e per year; or mixed use: 3,000 MTCO2e per year.
■ Tier 4 has the following options:
• Option 1: Reduce emissions from business as usual (BAU) by a certain percentage; this percentage is currently undefined (City of Moreno Valley CAP calls for a community-wide reduction of 15 % from 2007 BAU emissions by 2020). • Option 2: Early implementation of applicable AB 32 Scoping Plan measures. • Option 3, 2020 target for service populations (SP), which includes residents and employees: 4.8 MTCO2e/SP/year for projects and 6.6 MTCO2e/SP/year for plans; • Option 3, 2035 target: 3.0 MTCO2e/SP/year for projects and 4.1 MTCO2e/SP/year for plans.
■ Tier 5 involves mitigation offsets to achieve target significance threshold.

The SCAQMD’s draft threshold uses the Executive Order S-3-05 goal as the basis for the Tier 3 screening level. Achieving the Executive Order’s objective would contribute to worldwide efforts to cap carbon dioxide concentrations at 450 ppm, thus stabilizing global climate.

City of San Bernardino. As of the date of this report, the City of San Bernardino has not adopted a Climate Action Plan.

Through the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) formerly known as San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), the City of San Bernardino forms the San Bernardino Chapter of the San Bernardino County Regional GHG Reduction Plan. Released in March, 2014, the Plan has been prepared to assist the City in conforming to the GHG emissions reductions as mandated under AB 32. Based on the CARB Scoping Plan, reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 means cutting approximately 30 percent from business-as-usual (BAU) emissions levels, or about 15 percent from year 2008 levels, which is the baseline year for the GHG Reduction Plan. Consistent with the CARB Scoping Plan, the City of San Bernardino has chosen a reduction target of 15 percent below 2008 GHG emissions levels by 2020. If the project exceeds the GHG Reduction Plan screening threshold of 3,000 MTCO2e per year for all land use types, then the project's year 2020 emissions will be compared to the project's baseline GHG emissions.

The proposed project would result in the subdivision of 6.10 gross acres of land and the future development and on-going use of 25 single-family detached residential dwelling units. The proposed project is anticipated to generate GHG emissions from area sources, energy usage, mobile sources, waste disposal, water usage, and construction equipment.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. GHG emissions for the project were quantified utilizing the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) version 2020.4.0 to determine if the project could have a cumulatively considerable impact related to greenhouse gas emissions and summarized in Table 4.7-1. The GHG emissions have been calculated for opening year 2023 without mitigation. The emissions inventory accounts for GHG emissions from construction activities and operational activities.

Operation emissions associated with the future residential housing would include GHG emissions from mobile sources (transportation), energy, water use and treatment, waste disposal, and area sources. GHG emissions from electricity use are indirect GHG emissions from the energy (purchased energy) that is produced offsite. Area sources are owned or controlled by the project (e.g., natural gas combustion and furnaces) and produced onsite. Construction activities are short term and cease to emit greenhouse gases upon completion, unlike operational emissions that are continuous year after year until operation of the use ceases. Because of this difference, SCAQMD recommends amortizing construction emissions over a 30-year operational lifetime. This normalizes construction emissions so that they can be grouped with operational emissions in order to generate a precise project-based GHG inventory.

Table 4.7-1 shows that the proposed project in year 2023 would generate approximately 660.56 metric tons of CO2e per year of GHG emissions. According to the thresholds of significance established above, a cumulative global climate change impact would not occur since the GHG emissions created from the on-going operations would not exceed the screening threshold of 3,000 metric tons per year of CO2e. Therefore, the project will have less than significant impacts due to GHG contribution at operation. No mitigation will be required.

The project is also subject to the requirements of the California Green Building Standards Code.

The Code is a comprehensive and uniform regulatory code for all residential, commercial and school buildings. The California Green Building Standards Code does not prevent a local jurisdiction from adopting a more stringent code as state law provides methods for local enhancements. The Code recognizes that many jurisdictions have developed existing construction and demolition ordinances, and defers to them as the ruling guidance provided they provide a minimum 50-percent diversion requirement. The code also provides exemptions for areas not served by construction and demolition recycling infrastructure. State building code provides the minimum standard that buildings need to meet in order to be certified for occupancy.

Enforcement is generally through the local building official.

The California Green Building Standards Code (code section in parentheses) requires:
■ Water Efficiency and Conservation [Indoor Water Use (4.303.1)]. Fixtures and fixture fittings reducing the overall use of potable water within the building by at least 20 percent shall be provided. The 20 percent reduction shall be demonstrated by one of the following methods:

■ Materials pollution control (4.504.1 – 4.504.6). Low-pollutant emitting interior finish materials such as paints, carpet, vinyl flooring and particleboard. ■ Installer and Special Inspector Qualifications (702.1-702.2). Mandatory special installer inspector qualifications for installation and inspection of energy systems (e.g., heat furnace, air conditioner, mechanical equipment).

Compliance with Green Building Standards and 2019 Title 24 Standards will further reduce projectrelated greenhouse emissions. b) No Impact. San Bernardino has adopted the 2019 edition of the California Building Code (Title 24), including the California Green Building Standards Code. The project would be subject to the California Green Building Standards Code, which requires new buildings to reduce water consumption, employ building commissioning to increase building system efficiencies for large buildings, divert construction waste from landfills, and install low pollutant-emitting finish materials. The project does not include any feature (i.e. substantially alter energy demands) that would interfere with implementation of these State and City codes and plans. The City of San Bernardino does not have any additional plans, policies, standards, or regulations related to climate change and GHG emissions. Also, no other government-adopted plans or regulatory programs in effect at this time have established a specific performance standard to reduce GHG emissions from a single building project. As discussion under Section 4.3, Air Quality above, the project meets the goals of the RTS/SCS to adapt to a changing climate and support an integrated regional development pattern and transportation network and encourages development of diverse housing types in areas that are supported by multiple transportation options. The project will construct adjacent roadways to their ultimate half-width right-of-way and will benefit from regional/local transit opportunities. Development of the property will be consistent with the CARB scoping plan as outlined above in Section 4.6 Energy. In conclusion, the project does not conflict with a local plan adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. No impact will occur.

Local Schools
The nearest school to the site is Palm Elementary School, located at the northeast corner of Belmont Avenue and Palm Avenue (6565 Palm Avenue, San Bernardino) approximately 0.4 mile to the northwest. Cesar Chavez Middle School at the southwest corner of West Belmont Avenue and North Magnolia Avenue (6650 North Magnolia Avenue) is approximately 0.9 miles away. The nearest high school is Cajon High School located at 1200 W Hill Drive, San Bernardino, approximately 3.8 miles away.

Public Airports/Private Airstrips
There are no private or public airports located within two miles of the project site. San Bernardino International Airport is approximately 11.7 miles southeast of the project site at 225 North Leland Norton Way, San Bernardino, CA 92408 and Ontario International Airport is approximately 21 miles southwest of the project site at 2500 East Airport Drive, Ontario, CA 91761.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project could result in a significant hazard to the public if the project includes the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials or places housing near a facility which routinely transports, uses, or disposes of hazardous materials.

The proposed project is located within a primarily residential area within the city. The routine use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials is primarily associated with industrial uses which require such materials for manufacturing operations or produce hazardous wastes as by-products of production applications. The proposed project does not propose or facilitate any activity involving significant use, routine transport, or disposal of hazardous substances as part of the subdivision and future 25 single-family homes.

During construction, there would be a minor level of transport, use, and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes that are typical of construction projects. This would include fuels and lubricants for construction machinery, coating materials, etc. This requirement would be spelled out in detail in the SWPPP that must be prepared by the applicant prior to any site disturbance.

The SWPPP is discussed further in the next section (Hydrology and Water Quality). Routine construction control measures and best management practices for hazardous materials storage, application, waste disposal, accident prevention and clean-up, etc. would be sufficient to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level.

With regard to project operation, a limited amount of widely used hazardous materials, including paints and other solvents, cleaners, and pesticides would be anticipated. The remnants of these and other products are disposed of as household hazardous waste (HHW) that includes used dead batteries, electronic wastes, and other wastes that are prohibited or discouraged from being disposed of at local landfills. Regular operation and cleaning of the residential structures would not result in significant impacts involving use, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous wastes and substances. Use of common household hazardous materials and their disposal does not present a substantial health risk to the community. Impacts associated with the routine transport, use of hazardous materials or wastes will be less than significant. b) Less Than Significant Impact. Construction of the future 25 housing units will require the use and transport of hazardous materials such as asphalt, paints, and other solvents.

Construction activities could also produce hazardous wastes associated with the use of such products. The future construction of proposed residential development requires ordinary construction activities and will not require a substantial or uncommon amount of hazardous Packet Pg. 3239
Belmont Subdivision 51
materials to complete. All hazardous materials are required to be utilized and transported in accordance with their labeling pursuant to federal and state law. Routine construction practices include good housekeeping measures to prevent/contain/clean-up spills and contamination from fuels, solvents, concrete wastes and other waste materials. During construction, BMPs would be required to be implemented by the City as well as standard construction controls and safety procedures that would avoid or minimize the potential for accidental release of these substances.

Standard construction practices would be observed such that any materials released are appropriately contained and remediated as required by the San Bernardino City Fire Department, the local Certified Unified Program Agency for hazardous materials in the region.

With implementation of standard conditions, hazard to the public or the environment through reasonable foreseeable upset and accident condition involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment would be less than significant.
c) Less than Significant Impact. There are no schools within 0.25 miles of the proposed project site. The nearest school to the site is Palm Elementary School, located at the northeast corner of Belmont Avenue and Palm Avenue (6565 Palm Avenue, San Bernardino), approximately

0.4 miles away. Cesar Chavez Middle School at the southwest corner of West Belmont Avenue and North Magnolia Avenue (6650 North Magnolia Avenue) is approximately 0.9 miles away. As discussed in Section 4.9.b, existing regulations address potential off-site construction-related hazards associated with demolition of the existing onsite structures. Impact would be less than significant with implementation of existing regulations. The project consists of a code amendment, and the subdivision of 6.10 gross acres into 25 single-family residential lots which do not emit or generate significant hazardous materials. Therefore, the project would not result in impacts to schools due to hazardous materials handling or emissions and no mitigation is required
d) No Impact. A review of known electronic database listings for possible hazardous waste generating establishments in the vicinity of the subject property, as well as adjacent sites with known environmental concerns was conducted. Facilities were identified by county, state, or federal agencies that generate, store, or dispose of hazardous materials. The project is not located on the State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. California Department of Toxic Substances Control Envirostar database, accessed April 4, 2022. The project would have no impact in this regard. e) No Impact. There are no private or public airports located within 2 miles of the project site. San Bernardino International Airport is approximately 11.7 miles southeast of the project site at 225 North Leland Norton Way, San Bernardino, CA 92408 and Ontario International Airport is approximately 21 miles southwest of the project site at 2500 East Airport Drive, Ontario, CA 91761.

Therefore, the project would not result in safety hazards from proximity to airports for people living in the project area or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. No impact will occur.
f) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project is a code amendment, the subdivision of 6.10 gross acres into 25 single-family residential lots and the future construction of the 25 single-family homes. It is a residential infill project. Per State Fire and Building Codes, sufficient space will have to be provided around the structures for emergency personnel and equipment access and emergency evacuation. All project elements, including landscaping, would be sited with sufficient clearance from existing and proposed structures so as not to interfere with emergency access to and evacuation from the facility. The project would comply with the California Fire Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Section 9).

The project driveways would allow emergency access and evacuation from the site, and would be constructed to San Bernardino Code specifications. Over the long term, the project would not Packet Pg. 3240
52 Initial Study
impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan because no permanent public street or lane closures are proposed. Construction work in the street associated with the project would be limited to lateral utility connections, undergrounding of utility lines and installation of street trees; all of which would be limited to nominal potential traffic diversion. Traffic control would be provided for any lane closures. Project impacts would be less than significant.
g) No Impact. The project site is located within an urbanized area of the City of San Bernardino and is not located within a fire hazard zone, as identified on the latest Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps prepared by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE).

There are no wildland conditions in the urbanized area that the project site is located. No impact would occur.

Environmental Setting
The City of San Bernardino lies within the Santa Ana River Basin (Region 8) of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Region 8 extends from the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains in the north and east to Newport Bay along the coast. This Santa Ana River Basin is geographically the smallest region, at 2,800 square miles, yet contains one of the largest populations with almost five million people. The region contains 460 miles of streams, 21,090 acres of lakes and 24 miles of coastline. The Santa Ana River is the largest stream system in southern California, and is also the region’s main surface water body. The Santa Ana River transports more than 125 million gallons per day of reclaimed water from Riverside and San Bernardino Counties for recharge into the Orange County Groundwater Basin. This recharge provides 40 percent of the Orange County water demand. The Santa Ana River has a number of tributaries in the vicinity of San Bernardino that contribute flow to the main stem of the river including Lytle Creek, East Twin Creek, East Warm Creek and San Timoteo Creek.

Storm drains and flood control facilities within the planning area include natural and man-made channels, storm drains, street waterways, natural drainage courses, dams, basins, and levees.

Storm drain and flood control facilities are administered by City of San Bernardino, San Bernardino County Flood Control District, Army Corps of Engineers, and San Bernardino International Airport and Trade Center. Design and construction of storm drain and flood control facilities are the responsibility of the City Public Works Department. The Public Services Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of storm drain and flood control facilities. San Bernardino’s Packet Pg. 3242
54 Initial Study
planning area encompasses 71 square miles, much of which is paved and impervious to stormwater.

The San Bernardino County Flood Control District divides the City into subareas for planning purposes pursuant to the District’s Comprehensive Storm Drain Plans No. 3, 4, 6, and 7. The City uses the Flood Control District’s Comprehensive Storm Drain Plans for the development of the City’s storm drain system. The City of San Bernardino requires all 10-year frequency storm waters, except for street flows at intersection points, be contained in the underground drain system. Storm flows in excess of the 10-year frequency storm flow, but less than or equal to the 25-year storm flow, will be carried in the curbed portion of the street. Storm flows associated with 100-year storms may be carried in the street right-of-way. One-hundred-year storm flows may also be conveyed via a combination of storm drains sized to convey a 25-year storm in the curbed part of the street with the balance of the flow conveyed in the street section.

The City of San Bernardino has established design criteria for both major and local drains within the City. Major drains are systems using 36-inch or larger pipes (or equivalent channels) and are identified on the comprehensive storm drain plans. Local drains are systems using less than 36- inch-diameter conduits. Storm drains and flood control facilities within the City include: channels, storm drains, street waterways, natural drainage courses, dams, basins, and levees. Some streets in the City of San Bernardino are specifically designed to accommodate storm flow. Flows carried within the street right-of-way may cause localized flooding during storms, possibly making some roads impassable during the storm event.

Federal and State Oversight
The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) is the principal federal law that provides for the protection of water quality. The primary objectives of the CWA are to “restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’s waters,” and to make all surface waters “fishable” and “swimmable.” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the designated federal agency responsible for implementing the CWA and it has further delegated authority to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and associated Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB) for compliance with the CWA. Relevant programs identified in the CWA include the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NDPES) program which regulates discharge of pollutants from known sources (point sources), as well as non-point sources, into waters of the United States through the issuance of permits. As part of the NPDES program, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be prepared for construction activities affecting greater than one acre because the discharge of stormwater during construction is considered a nonpoint source of water pollution.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans
According the Storm Water Program run by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), any developer engaging in construction activities which disturb one acre or more of land shall apply for coverage under the general stormwater permit for construction activity with the SWRCB. In addition, the owner shall also prepare a SWPPP in accordance with state requirements. All construction projects which could potentially have an adverse impact on the City's municipal separate storm sewer system or waters of the State shall install and/or implement appropriate construction and post-construction BMPs, as listed in their SWPPP. The City of San Bernardino, along with other cities in the San Bernardino Valley, is a co-permitee with the County of San Bernardino, in the County’s Area-Wide Urban Stormwater Runoff Management Program in order to comply with the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board Waste Discharge Requirements issued in 2010 for the County’s MS4 Permit. Under this permit, all development projects are subject to the NPDES requirements which include the preparation, approval, and implementation a SWPPP.

Packet Pg. 3243
Belmont Subdivision 55
Water Quality Management Plans
According to San Bernardino Municipal Code 8.80.501, prior to the issuance of any grading or building permit, all qualifying land development projects shall submit and have approved a storm water quality management plan (SWQMP) to the city engineer on a form provided by the City. The SWQMP shall identify all BMPs that will be incorporated into the operation of the project to control stormwater and non-stormwater pollutants during and after construction and shall be revised as necessary during the life of the project. The SWQMP submittal applies to construction projects covered by the NPDES general construction permit as well as construction projects less than five acres. Following the approval of the SWQMP by the city engineer, the owner of the qualifying project and the city shall enter into a recordable Storm Water Quality Management Plan Agreement which shall contain enforceable mechanisms to ensure that the operations and maintenance costs of post-construction BMPs are paid in perpetuity.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. A project normally would have an impact on surface water quality if discharges associated with the project would create pollution, contamination, or nuisance as defined in Section 13050 of the California Water Code (CWC), or that cause regulatory standards to be violated as defined in the applicable National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permit or Water Quality Control Plan for the receiving water body.

For the purpose of this specific issue, a significant impact could occur if the project would discharge water that does not meet the quality standards of the agencies which regulate surface water quality and water discharge into stormwater drainage systems. Significant impacts could also occur if the project does not comply with all applicable regulations with regard to surface water quality as governed by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). These regulations include preparation of a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP) to reduce potential post-construction water quality impacts.

Discharges into stormwater drains or channels from construction sites of one acre or larger are regulated by the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity issued by the State Water Quality Control Board. The General Permit was issued pursuant to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as authorized by the Clean Water Act. Compliance with the General Permit involves developing and implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) specifying best management practices (BMPs) that the project would use to minimize pollution of stormwater. The SWPPP BMPs would follow the guidelines set forth by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).

The project applicant will be required to comply with NPDES permit requirements through the preparation and implementation of a SWPPP for construction activities. The City’s Engineer will review the application for compliance with applicable regulations and to ensure that no water quality standards or discharge requirements are violated. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to the SWRCB will be required who will issue a Waste Discharge Identification Number (WDID) for the project. Prior to obtaining any City‐issued grading and/or construction permits, the developer/owner shall provide evidence of compliance with the general construction permit by providing a copy of the WDID to the C ity's Development Services Department. Plans for stormwater treatment are required to meet City and regional standards. Given required compliance with existing laws, project impacts on water quality standards would be less than significant, and no additional mitigation is required.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. If the project removed an existing groundwater recharge area or substantially reduced runoff that results in groundwater recharge, a potentially significant impact could occur.

Packet Pg. 3244
56 Initial Study
No groundwater or perched water was observed in the exploratory borings conducted by SoCal Professional Engineers to a depth of 50 feet. Based on available ground water data from the County of San Bernardino, the depths of ground water is 100 feet plus (100’+) below ground in the project area. Project-related grading would not reach these depths and no disturbance of groundwater is anticipated. The future building footprint areas and paved streets would increase impervious surface coverage on the site. As such, the total amount of infiltration on site would be decreased over existing conditions. Since this site is currently disturbed and is not managed for groundwater supplies, this change in infiltration would not have a significant effect on groundwater supplies or recharge.

The project would be required to comply with the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code, Chapter

17.06 for water wise landscape requirements, which would lessen the project’s demand for water resources. Also, finally, CBC Title 24 water efficiency measures require a demonstrated 20 percent reduction in the use of potable water. The project’s landscaping plans will include drought tolerant landscaping materials. Compliance with Title 24 and the City’s Water Wise Landscaping standards will reduce the proposed project’s impacts to groundwater supplies to a level of less than significant. Water supply is further discussed in Checklist Section 4.19. c.i) Less Than Significant Impact. Potentially significant impacts to the existing drainage pattern of the site or area could occur if development of the project results in substantial on- or off-site erosion or siltation. There are no streams cross the project site; thus, the project would not alter any stream course. The project will collect and convey run-off from upstream areas and convey these flows through the site, to the storm drainage system. A site drainage plan is required by the City of San Bernardino and would be reviewed by the City Engineer. The final grading and drainage plan would be approved by the City Engineer during plan check review.

Erosion and siltation reduction measures would be implemented during construction consistent with an approved SWPPP, which will demonstrate compliance with the City’s NPDES permit. At the completion of construction, the project would consist of impervious surfaces and landscaped areas, and would therefore not be prone to substantial erosion. No streams cross the project site; thus, the project would not alter any stream course. Impacts will be less than significant. c.ii) Less Than Significant Impact. With regard to project operation, on-site drainage will continue to function through sheet flow to the driveways, discharging into streets and drainage systems. The project will not substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite. Impacts will be less than significant. c.iii) Less Than Significant Impact. The 25-lot subdivision will not 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. During construction, the project applicant would be required to develop and implement a SWPPP as required by law; this would prevent polluted runoff from leaving the construction site. Adherence to all code requirements for the future construction of the 25 single-family houses will ensure that impacts associated with drainage activities are less than significant and no additional mitigation is required. c.iv) Less Than Significant Impact. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) produces maps (Flood Insurance Rate Map) that identify areas that are located in flood zones.

The map that addresses this portion of the City of San Bernardino is FIRM Panel 06071C7930J, September 2, 2016, which shows that the project site is located within Zone X. This zone designates areas of 0.2 percent annual chance flood, areas of 1 percent annual chance flood with average depths of 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile, and areas protected by levees from 1 percent annual chance flood. Therefore, there will be a less than significant impact as the project will not impede or redirect flood flows.

Packet Pg. 3245
Belmont Subdivision 57
d) Less Than Significant Impact. According to the General Plan Update, the project site is not located within a flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones. The project will not result in a risk release of pollutants due to project inundation. Therefore, the project will be a less than significant impact.
e) Less Than Significant Impact. During construction, the project applicant would be required to develop and implement a SWPPP as required by law; this would prevent polluted runoff from leaving the construction site. The project by design will not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan. The future structures to be constructed on the site will be required to meet and comply with all applicable city and State building codes to reduce impacts to water quality to less-than-significant level.

Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: City of San Bernardino General Plan Update, 2005.

Environmental Setting
The proposed project site is in an area that is mainly developed with residential uses with limited institutional uses. The General Plan Foundation Component is Single Family Residential with a land use designation of Residential Low (RL), which allows for a maximum of 3.1 dwelling units per acre and requires a minimum lot size of 10,800 square feet as identified by the Land Use Element of the City of San Bernardino General Plan. The intended use for this designation is Packet Pg. 3246
58 Initial Study
single-family detached residences in a low-density setting. The project site is currently zoned Residential Low [3.1 dwelling units per acre (10,800 minimum lot size)].

Discussion
a) No Impact. The proposed infill project is surrounded by residential uses and vacant land.

The project is compatible with the surrounding land uses along West Belmont Avenue, Shepherd Lane, Rosemary Lane, Churchill Street and Split Mountain Lane and will not divide an established community. The project does not propose construction of any roadway, flood control channel, or other structure that would physically divide any portion of the community. The project will provide connections to Olive Avenue by constructing a continuation of Rosemary Lane. Therefore, no impact will occur.
b) Less than Significant Impact. The project site is designated as Residential in the City’s General Plan Foundation Component. The applicant is requesting Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low -

3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet pursuant to Chapter 19.42 Development Code Amendments of the City of San Bernardino Development Code.

The proposed project also includes Subdivision 21-11 Tentative Tract Map 20421 (TTM) a request to allow the division of a parcel containing approximately 6.10-gross acres/4.43 net acres into 25 residential lots for the future construction and use of single-family detached product together with the construction of the required on-site infrastructure improvements. The lots sizes ranges from 7,372 to 9,377 square feet with an average lot size of 7,852 square feet at a density of 4.10 dwelling units per gross acre.

The proposed site is located on the south side of West Belmont Avenue at Olive Avenue with single-family residential development directly to the north, west and south and scattered residential to the east. The project would be in character with the intent of the RS zone. The project would not conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. Therefore, a less than significant impact on the established land use plan would apply.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because impacts to Land Use and Planning will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
According to the City’s General Plan Update, Figure NRC-3 Mineral Resources, the City contains several areas within the San Bernardino region have been classified as Mineral Resource Zone 2 (MRZ-2). MRZ-2 areas indicate the existence of a construction aggregate deposit that meets certain State criteria for value and marketability based solely on geologic factors. The project site is located in the MRZ-3 zone, which designates areas containing mineral resources where the significance cannot be evaluated from available data.

Discussion
a-b) No Impact. The project site, located within an urbanized area of the City of San Bernardino, is predominately surrounded by residential uses. The General Plan, Natural Resources and Conservation chapter describes the importance of conservation of significant mineral deposits.

The project site and adjacent lands are located within an MRZ-3 zone, where the significance of mineral deposits cannot be determined. These properties are fully developed with residential uses. Mineral production is not compatible with the project area due to urbanization and location of residential uses near the project site. Development would not result in the loss of a known mineral resource. No impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because Mineral impacts will be less than significant.

The project proposes to amend the Development Code from RL to RS, to subdivide 6.10 gross acres into 25 single-family residential lots for the future development and construction of 25 single-family detached residential dwelling units. The project site is bordered by West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue. There are single‐family detached residential dwelling units to the north, west and south with scattered residences to the east. The main noise sources in the area that could affect the project site would be associated with traffic along W. Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue. The General Plan based exterior/interior traffic noise level projections on average daily traffic volumes (ADTs), topography, and the centerline distances from the subject roadways.

Secondary noise sources would be associated with residences, such as air conditioning units and various maintenance activities including landscaping or home improvement.

Noise Terminology
The unit of measurement used to describe a noise level is the decibel (dB). The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies within the sound spectrum. Therefore, the “A‐weighted” noise scale, which weights the frequencies to which humans are sensitive, is used for measurements.

Noise levels using A‐ weighted measurements are written dB(A) or dBA. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale, which means a doubling of the energy of a noise source, such as a doubled traffic volume, would increase the noise levels by 3 dBA; halving of the energy would result in a 3 dBA decrease.

Average noise levels over a period of minutes or hours are usually expressed as dBA Leq, or the equivalent noise level for that period of time. For example, Leq(3) would represent a 3‐hour average. When no period is specified, a one‐hour average is assumed.

It is widely accepted that the average healthy ear can barely perceive changes of 3 dBA; that a change of 5 dBA is readily perceptible, and that an increase (decrease) of 10 dBA sounds twice (half) as loud. This definition is recommended by Caltrans publication, Transportation’s Traffic Noise Analysis Protocol for New Highway and Reconstruction Projects.

Vibration
Groundborne vibrations consist of rapidly fluctuating motions within the ground that have an average motion of zero. The effects of groundborne vibrations typically only cause a nuisance to people, but at extreme vibration levels, damage to buildings may occur. Although groundborne vibration can be felt outdoors, it is typically only an annoyance to people indoors where the associated effects of the shaking of a building can be notable. Groundborne noise is an effect of groundborne vibration and only exists indoors, since it is produced from noise radiated from the motion of the walls and floors of a room and may also consist of the rattling of windows or dishes on shelves.

Noise Standards
State Regulations
State standards regulate noise levels of motor vehicles, sound transmission through buildings, occupational noise control, and noise insulation. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, also known as the California Building Standards Code, establishes building standards applicable to all occupancies throughout the state. The code provides acoustical regulations for both exterior‐to‐interior sound insulation, as well as sound and impact isolation between adjacent spaces of various occupied units. Title 24 regulations state that interior noise levels generated by exterior noise sources shall not exceed 45 dBA Ldn/CNEL, with windows closed, in any habitable room for general residential uses.

City of San Bernardino General Plan
The San Bernardino Noise Guidelines for land Use planning reflects the City’s interpretation of noise guidelines promulgated by the California Office of Noise Control. The guidelines provide the City with an integral tool to gauge the compatibility of land uses relative to existing and future noise levels. Based on guidelines, single‐family detached residential dwelling units are considered to be normally acceptable in noise environments of up to 60 dBA CNEL and conditionally acceptable in noise environments that reach up to 70 dBA CNEL. New construction projects in areas where future noise levels are expected to range between 60‐70 dBA CNEL should be undertaken only after a detailed analysis of the noise reduction requirements is made and needed noise insulation features are included in the design. Conventional construction, but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning will normally suffice.

City of San Bernardino Municipal Code
The City’s Municipal Code in Chapter 8.54 addresses noise controls. It prohibits any person from engaging in the following activities other than between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. in residential zones.

A. Operate or permit the use of powered model vehicles and planes.

B. Load or unload any vehicle, or operate or permit the use of dollies, carts, forklifts, or other wheeled equipment that causes any impulsive sound, raucous, or unnecessary noise within one thousand (1,000) feet of a residence.

C. Operate or permit the use of domestic power tools, or machinery or any other equipment or tool in any garage, workshop, house, or any other structure.

D. Operate or permit the use of gasoline or electric powered leaf blowers, such as commonly used by gardeners and other persons for cleaning lawns, yards, driveways, gutters, and other property.

Packet Pg. 3250
62 Initial Study
E. Operate or permit the use of privately operated street/parking lot sweepers or vacuums, except that emergency work and/or work necessitated by unusual conditions may be performed with the written consent of the City Manager.

F. Operate or permit the use of electrically operated compressor, fan, and other similar devices.

G. Operate or permit the use of any motor vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of ten thousand (10,000) pounds, or of any auxiliary equipment attached to such a vehicle, including, but not limited to, refrigerated truck compressors for a period longer than fifteen (15) minutes in any hour while the vehicle is stationary and on a public right-of-way or public space except when movement of said vehicle is restricted by other traffic.

H. Repair, rebuild, reconstruct, or dismantle any motor vehicle or other mechanical equipment or devices in a manner so as to be plainly audible across property lines Vibration Standards
The City of San Bernardino does not have a published vibration impact criterion. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has published one of the seminal works for the analysis of groundborne noise and vibration relating to transportation- and construction-induced vibrations and although the project is not subject to the regulations, it serves as a useful tool to evaluate vibration impacts. A vibration impact would generally be considered significant if it involves any construction-related or operations-related impacts in excess of 0.2 +inches per second (in/sec) PPV.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated.

Construction Noise Impacts
The project site lies adjacent to single‐family residential dwellings that may be affected by short‐term noise impacts associated with the transport of workers, the movement of construction materials to and from the project site, ground clearing, excavation, grading, and building activities. Project generated construction noise will vary depending on the construction process, type of equipment involved, location of the construction site with respect to sensitive receptors, the schedule proposed to carry out each task (e.g., hours and days of the week) and the duration of the construction work. Typical operating cycles for these types of construction equipment may involve one or two minutes of full power operation followed by three to four minutes at lower power settings. Site grading is expected to produce the highest sustained construction noise levels. Typical operating cycles for these types of construction equipment may involve one or two minutes of full power operation followed by three to four minutes at lower power settings. A likely worst‐case construction noise scenario during grading assumes the use of a grader, a dozer, a water truck (modeled as a dump truck), and a backhoe. Construction noise will have a temporary or periodic increase in the ambient noise levels above existing within the project vicinity.

However, it is anticipated to occur during the permissible hours according to the City’s Municipal Code. Any construction activities that occur outside the allowable time would be considered significant. Adherence to the allowed hours of operation, and implementation of the measure N-1 presented in below, will minimize construction noise impacts.

The proposed project will be consistent with the City’s exterior noise/land use compatibility criteria based on the Residential Suburban designation as it relates the West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue. The proposed project is expected to generate approximately 236 average daily trips (ADT). In no case will project generated vehicle traffic result in increases of more than 1 dBA along affected road segments. Project generated vehicular traffic volumes will not result in Packet Pg. 3251
Belmont Subdivision 63
substantial increases in ambient noise levels. No mitigation is required. Compliance with City Municipal Code Chapter 8.54, which limits the hours, allowed for construction activities, construction noise impacts will be minimized.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. A significant impact would occur if project construction or operation results in exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels.

Construction activity can result in varying degrees of ground vibration, depending on the equipment used on the site. Operation of construction equipment causes ground vibrations that spread through the ground and diminish in strength with distance. Buildings respond to these vibrations with varying results ranging from no perceptible effects at the low levels to slight damage at the highest levels. The City allows vibration from temporary construction. There are several types of construction equipment that can cause vibration levels high enough to annoy persons in the vicinity and/or result in architectural or structural damage to nearby structures and improvements. For example, operation of a large bulldozer could reach up to 0.089 PPV at a distance of 25 feet. Groundborne vibration at sensitive receptors associated with this equipment would drop off as the equipment moves away. For example, as a bulldozer moves further than 100 feet from the sensitive receptors, the vibration associated with it would drop below 0.019 PPV.

It should be noted that these vibration levels are reference levels and may vary slightly depending upon soil type and specific usage of each piece of equipment.

The primary effect of perceptible vibration is often a concern. However, secondary effects, such as the rattling of a china cabinet, can also occur, even when vibration levels are well below perception. Any effect (primary perceptible vibration, secondary effects, or a combination of the two) can lead to annoyance. The degree to which a person is annoyed depends on the activity in which they are participating at the time of the disturbance. For example, someone sleeping or reading will be more sensitive than someone who is running on a treadmill. Reoccurring primary and secondary vibration effects often lead people to believe that the vibration is damaging their home, although vibration levels are well below minimum thresholds for damage potential.

Vibration can be annoying to people in buildings at a peak particle velocity (PPV) of 0.20. Due to the proximity of adjacent single‐family detached residential dwelling units (as close as ten‐feet), project construction activities within 15 feet of the dwelling units may result in groundborne vibration that is annoying. Annoyance is expected to be short‐term, occurring only during site grading and preparation. The following reduction measures shall be implemented to reduce the potential vibration related annoyances. The contractor shall limit the use of vibratory and/or heavy equipment along the project boundaries to the greatest degree possible.

Vibration generated by construction activity has the potential to damage structures. This damage could be structural damage, such as cracking of floor slabs, foundations, columns, beams, or wells, or cosmetic architectural damage, such as cracked plaster, stucco, or tile. PPV levels between 0.4 and 0.6 as vibration levels greater than normally expected from traffic volumes, but may cause “architectural” damage and possible minor structural damage. Hence, use of a large bulldozer or equivalent within 6 feet of adjacent residential dwelling units and improvements could result in architectural damage. The nearest structure to the property line is at approximately 10 feet. Impacts associated with construction vibration are not expected. Compliance with City Municipal Code Chapter 8.54, which limits the hours allowed for construction activities, construction-vibration impacts will be minimized.
c) No Impact. No airport land use plans apply to the area, and the proposed project site is not located within two miles of an airport. The project falls outside any airport’s noise contours for excessive noise. Therefore, residents or workers would not be exposed to excessive airport noise levels and there would be no impact.

Packet Pg. 3252

Mitigation Measures
N‐1: Prior to the issuance of grading and building permits, the contractor shall establish a Construction Management Plan that includes the following standards:
• Construction shall adhere to the allowable operable hours as denoted within the SBMC Chapter 8.54.
• During all project site excavation and grading on‐site, construction contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturer standards. • The contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the noise sensitive receptors nearest the project site. • Equipment shall be shut off and not left to idle when not in use. • The contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction‐related noise sources and sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction.
• The contractor shall limit the use of vibratory and/or heavy equipment along the project boundaries to the greatest degree possible.

Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: State of California, Department of Finance, E-5 Population and Housing Estimates for Cities, Counties and the State — 2021-2022 with 2020 Census Benchmark, May 2022; City of San Bernardino General Plan Update, 2005 and City of San Bernardino 2013-2021 Housing Element, January 2014.

Environmental Setting
Packet Pg. 3253
Belmont Subdivision 65
Estimated population of San Bernardino for April 1, 2020 is 223,445 and has an estimated

3.41 persons per household. According to the City’s General Plan Housing Element Table H-30 Capacity to Accommodate the RHNA, the City estimates that a total of 4,384 new housing units are needed in varying income levels. These are based on SCAG’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment for San Bernardino. The project site is currently designated as Residential in the City’s General Plan and is zoned as RL (Residential Low). The applicant is requesting a change to RS (Residential Suburban).

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. The project consists of Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low -

3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban – 4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet pursuant to Chapter

19.42 Development Code Amendments of the City of San Bernardino Development Code and Subdivision 21-11 Tentative Tract Map 20421 (TTM) a request to allow the division of a parcel containing approximately 6.10-gross acres/4.43 net acres into 25 residential lots for the future construction and use of single-family detached product together with the construction of the required on-site infrastructure improvements.

Using the State’s factor of 3.41 persons per household, the project would generate 85 new residents in the City. The project site is an infill project in an area where existing residential already exists. The 85 new residents would represent a less than one percent increase to the City’s current population. Therefore, the proposed project would not induce substantial population growth in the area either by building a large number of new dwellings or by extending infrastructure into an area not previously served. The project is directly bringing jobs during construction. Project employment represents approximately less than one percent of the city’s project growth which is not substantial and is within the employment growth assumptions for the city. Due to the urban nature of the City and surrounding area, this potential minimal increase in population is expected to be accommodated by existing housing in the City and neighboring communities. Impacts will be less than significant.
b) No Impact. Replacement housing will not need to be constructed elsewhere as the proposal will not result in the displacement of substantial numbers of existing housing. No impacts to replacement housing will occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because impacts to Population and Housing will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
Fire Protection
Fire protection and emergency medical response services are being provided by the San Bernardino County Fire District (SBCFD). The Valley Regional Service Zone was formed through a reorganization process effective July 1, 2008 per Local Agency Formation Commission Resolution 2997. This regional service zone provides fire protection and paramedic services to the City of San Bernardino (Stations #221, #222, #224, #225, #226, #227, #228, #229, #231, #232 and #233). Additionally, there are two voter approved special tax fire protection service zones for the Cities of San Bernardino and Upland, and three Community Facilities Districts that levy special taxes to fund fire protection services in the City of San Bernardino, Fontana Fire Protection District, and Glen Helen area. Service Zone FP-5 San Bernardino special tax was originally approved by the Board of Supervisors in April 2006 (originally under CSA 70 Zone FP-5). With the approval of LAFCO 3198, the City of San Bernardino’s Fire Department was annexed into County Packet Pg. 3255
Belmont Subdivision 67
Fire’s Valley Regional Service Zone. The annexation included a special tax to fund fire protection and emergency medical response services within the City of San Bernardino. This special tax includes an annual inflationary increase of up to 3%. For 2018-19, the FP-5 special tax rate is $157.26 per parcel, with budgeted revenue of $7.7 million. Services are provided through Stations #221, #222, #224, #225, #226, #227, #228, #229, #231, #232 and #233. In 2004, Community Facilities District (CFD) 1033 was formed by the City of San Bernardino to provide funding for fire protection services in the City’s Verdemont area through special taxes assessed on commercial parcels within the CFD. The administration of CFD 1033 was transferred from the City of San Bernardino to County Fire by issuance of the Certificate of Compliance for LAFCO 3198 in June 2016. For 2018-19, $1.0 million of revenue is budgeted from special taxes generated within this CFD. Services are provided through Fire Station #232.

The SBCFD serves a San Bernardino resident population of over 221,130 and covers a diverse City service area of 60 square miles. In the City service area there are approximately 19 miles of wildland interface area, a major rail yard, an international airport, the County Seat, a correctional facility, two major mall complexes, and two major interstate freeways. The closest fire station (Station 232) is located at 6065 Palm Avenue, San Bernardino, approximately 0.8 miles southwest from the project site. The fire department also supplies emergency response personnel, firefighters/paramedics, and a Hazardous Materials Response Team.

The Department tries to adhere to standards recommended by the National Fire Insurance organization as well as the National Fire Protection Association. Those standards allow one minute alarm time, one minute turnout time (time it takes personnel to put on their turnout gear), and first units to respond to a fire or medical emergency within four minutes; the remaining equipment must respond within eight minutes.

Police Protection
The City of San Bernardino operates its own police force, providing a full range of law enforcement and community safety programs, including: field patrol, K-9, School Resource Officer (SRO), Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE), Street Crime Attack Team, investigations, traffic, narcotics, training/backgrounds, Strategic Weapons and Tactics, and crisis negotiations. The Police Department headquarters is located at 710 North D Street San Bernardino. The Northern District Office is located at 941 Kendall Drive. The project area is within the Northwest Division, Baker Beat B-1.

Schools
The Verdemont area of San Bernardino is served by the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD). The District serves over 53,027 students. SBCUSD has 50 elementary schools, 11 middle schools, 10 high schools, and one adult education facility. The district provides kindergarten through 12th grade educational services and facilities to the City of San Bernardino. Schools that would serve the site are Palm Elementary School, located at the northeast corner of Belmont Avenue and Palm Avenue (6565 Palm Avenue, San Bernardino), Cesar Chavez Middle School at the southwest corner of West Belmont Avenue and North Magnolia Avenue (6650 North Magnolia Avenue) approximately 0.9 miles away and Cajon High School at 1200 Hill Drive, San Bernardino approximately 3.8 miles away. SBCUSD currently charges Developer fees to offset impacts on influx of students from new developments. The residential developer fee is currently $4.08 per square foot.

Parks
See Section 4.16, Recreation for discussion on parks.

Packet Pg. 3256
68 Initial Study
Other Public Services
Library services in San Bernardino are provided by the San Bernardino County Library System.

The Baker Family Learning Center at 2818 Macy Street, Muscoy is the closest library facility to the Verdemont area. It is approximately 4.9 miles south of the project site.

The library provides a full range of resources, including: books, movies, computers, and internet access.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. The project would have a less than significant impact on San Bernardino County Fire Department’s ability to provide fire protection services to the project site. The Development Code Amendment and 25-lot subdivision project is an infill development in an area with residential development adjacent to the property. The San Bernardino County Fire Department currently has a service response goal of one minute alarm time, one minute turnout time (time it takes personnel to put on their turnout gear), and first units to respond to a fire or medical emergency within four minutes; the remaining equipment must respond within eight minutes, based on the NFPA 1710 standards.

The nearest Fire Station (Station 232) is located at 6065 Palm Avenue, San Bernardino, approximately 0.9 miles southwest from the project site. The Station has a current operating apparatus of: one brush engine, and one medic engine. Based on the project’s close proximity to Station 232, service response goals for San Bernardino County Fire Department in respect to the project location will be met. The developer will be required to pay the City’s development impact fees for Fire Service which will help fund fire services necessary to protect the City of San Bernardino. The project is a proposed infill site. The project is within 5-minute proximity to a fire station. Therefore, the project would not have a significant impact on fire response times and would not otherwise create a substantially greater need for fire protection services than already exists. No new or expanded fire protection facilities would be required as a result of this project. Impacts related to expansion of fire protection services will be less than significant.
b) Less Than Significant Impact. The Development Code Amendment and 25-lot subdivision project is an infill development in an area that is primarily residential development. The San Bernardino Police Department headquarters is located at 710 North D Street San Bernardino.

The Northern District Office is located at 941 Kendall Drive. The department consists of 255 sworn positions and 150 civilian support staff, according to the City’s Police Department website.

Generally, the desired officer to resident ratio is 1:1000. Currently, based on the California Department of Finance E-5 Report, the population of San Bernardino is estimated to be 223,445 people. The officer-to-1000 resident ratio is currently estimated to be 1.14 [255/(223,445/1000)=1.14].

Based on a family of 3.41 persons in each home, the proposed project has the potential to increase the population of the City by 85 residents. Funding for services by the Department is derived from the City’s General Fund, and state and federal grants. The proposed residential subdivision and development will not result in any unique or more extensive crime problems that cannot be handled with the existing level of police resources. No new or expanded police facilities would need to be constructed as a result of this project. Impacts related to expansion of police protection services will be less than significant.

Packet Pg. 3257
Belmont Subdivision 69
c) Less Than Significant Impact. The Verdemont area of San Bernardino is served by the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD). The district provides kindergarten through 12th grade educational services and facilities to the City of San Bernardino. Schools that would serve the site are Palm Elementary School, located at the northeast corner of Belmont Avenue and Palm Avenue (6565 Palm Avenue, San Bernardino), Cesar Chavez Middle School at the southwest corner of West Belmont Avenue and North Magnolia Avenue (6650 North Magnolia Avenue) approximately 0.9 miles away and Cajon High School at 1200 Hill Drive, San Bernardino approximately 3.8 miles away.

Based on the estimated student generation rates provided by the SBCUSD, it is estimated that the project could generate 20 students. There would be 11 elementary aged children (0.4451 x 25), 4 middle school students (0.1577 x 25) and 5 high school students (0.1859 x 25) generated by this proposed project. These students may or may not be totally new to the district; families may relocate to the proposed development from other parts of the district, merely shifting the student population from other areas of the District.

Pursuant to the Leroy F. Green School Facilities Act (AB 2926), the project proponent will be required to pay developer fees prior to the issuance of building permits. The SBCUSD charges a Residential Developer Fee in the amount of $4.08 per square foot (May 16, 2020) to mitigate for students generated from new residential developments. This fee will help support provision of school services for the community as a whole. According to AB 2926, payment of developer fees constitutes adequate mitigation for any project-related impacts to school facilities. Impacts to the school facilities will be less than significant. d) Less Than Significant Impact. Demand for park and recreational facilities are generally the direct result of residential development. The project will contribute a total of 85 new residents.

The nearest park to the project site is Tom Minor Park at the northwest corner of Palm Avenue and Irvington Avenue. This neighborhood park is 5.4 acres with open play areas and play equipment.

No substantial demand for park and recreation facilities will result from the project. Impacts will be less than significant.
e) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed code amendment and 25-lot subdivision project will result in a limited population growth, however, will not require expansion of any other public services such as libraries or hospitals. The closest public library to the project site is the Baker Family Learning Center at 2818 Macy Street, Muscoy which is approximately 4.9 miles southwest of the site. Library services in San Bernardino are provided by the San Bernardino County Library System. The project is not anticipated to impact the libraries in the community because an increase in the population of up to 85 people would represent less than one percent of the City’s estimated 2022 population. No substantial demand for other services or facilities will result. Impacts will be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
According to the City’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, the city has 34 parks and fields located throughout the City. The nearest park to the project is Tom Minor City Park, which is located at 6300 North Palm Avenue, San Bernardino. The park is approximately

5.4 acres in size with amenities including open area, and playground area.

The San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department also operate community and recreation centers for residents. Verdemont Community Center is located at 3664 Little League Park, approximately 1.6 miles west of the project site. The community centers that offer a variety of leisure and social activities for all ages and cultural interest such as youth and adult sports, summer and off track lunch program, teen and youth clubs, tutoring, arts and crafts, senior nutrition, family night, etc. The centers also act as a focal point for collaboration and partnership with other organizations and agencies to provide specialized services and resources such as the HeartSmart Program, ESL, teen pregnancy prevention programs, immunization, health screenings, food distribution, and Headstart.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. Implementation of the proposed 25-lot subdivision project could result in an increase in population of approximately 85 persons based on a family of 3.41 persons (2022 State Department of Finance E‐5 Report). Therefore, the demand for recreation facilities will grow. This project will incrementally increase the use of some types of recreational facilities in the city of San Bernardino.

Revenues generated through the Quimby Act cannot be used for the operation and maintenance of park facilities. In addition to fees for future park land, the City’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department offers programs that can be used by residents for a fee (the cost is dependent on the type of class/program and length of the class/program). Therefore, the project’s impact on the City’s park and recreation facilities and programs would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. b) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project is 25-lot residential subdivision and Development Code Amendment. It does not necessitate expansion of existing outdoor recreational facilities. Therefore, there will be no adverse physical effect on the environment caused by expansion or construction of outdoor recreational facilities. Impacts would not be considered significant.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because Recreation impacts will be less than significant.

Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: San Bernardino Associated Governments, San Bernardino County Congestion Management Program 2016 Update, June 2016; California Emissions Estimator Model 2020.4.0; City of San Bernardino General Plan Update, 2005; and City of San Bernardino Public Works/Traffic Engineering Department Traffic Scope Approval Form dated March 31, 2022.

Environmental Setting
The proposed project is the subdivision of a 6.10-acre site for the future development of 25 singlefamily homes (under Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 20421) located on West Belmont Avenue at Olive Avenue in the Verdemont area of the City of San Bernardino. The project is estimated to generate a net total of approximately 236 daily vehicle trips.

The General Plan designates the entire area as Residential. Primary access to the site will be from West Belmont Avenue, which has been designated as a Collector with a 64-foot rightof-way. The designation of the street as a Collector and the existing configuration of the travel lanes, intersections, etc. are consistent with the General Plan Circulation Element and Map.

Secondary access will be from Olive Avenue, which has been designated as a Collector.

Accessibility to the new development will be provided via a connection to Rosemary Lane, a 50-foot local road from Olive Avenue, as illustrated on TTM 20421.

According to the General Plan Circulation Element, there is public transit within proximity that could potentially service future residents within the project. There is an Omnitrans bus route Packet Pg. 3261
Belmont Subdivision 73
(Route 2) at Kendall Avenue and Palm Avenue and a sbX Green Line route at the same location.

Discussion
a) Less than Significant Impact. Vehicular access will be provided via Shepherd Lane for lots 1 through 10, via Rosemary Lane for lots 11 through 20 and via West Belmont Avenue for Lots 21 through 25. The applicant prepared a Traffic Scoping form for the proposal, which was reviewed by the City’s Traffic Engineer to determine whether or not a Traffic Impact Analysis was required.

The City Engineer’s determined that a Traffic Impact Analysis was not required because the vehicle trips generated by the proposal was less than 250 daily trips and less than 50 peak hour trips and would therefore not create negative traffic/transportation impacts. The project is located within a low Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) generating area per the San Bernardino County Transportation Analysis screening tool and does not require further study. The project is estimated to generate a net total of approximately 236 daily vehicle trips. As the project is consistent with the General Plan designation, it is forecast to result in no significant traffic impacts for project completion traffic conditions, with implementation of the identified improvements.

Incremental but not significant impacts are noted at the study intersections with completion of the proposed project. Because there are no significant impacts, no direct traffic mitigation measures are required or recommended for the project.

The project applicant will be responsible for the construction of the following improvements as part of on‐site improvements including the construction of West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue along the property frontage at their ultimate half‐section width. The proposed project driveways shall be constructed in conformance with City of San Bernardino standards, including provisions for sight distance requirements. On‐site traffic signing and striping shall be submitted for City approval in conjunction with detailed construction plans for the project. Off‐street parking shall be provided to meet City of San Bernardino Development Code requirements.

Based on the agency thresholds of significance the addition of project generated trips is forecast to result in no significant impacts at the study intersections for project opening year (2020) with project conditions. As such, impacts associated with new traffic impacts would be less than significant.
b) Less than Significant Impact. Trip generation is a measure or forecast of the number of trips that begin or end at a particular site, and is a function of the extent and types of land use proposed as part of a project. Vehicular traffic generation characteristics for projects are estimated based on established rates. These rates identify the probable traffic generation of various land uses based on studies of developments in comparable settings. Vehicle miles traveled exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact.

Generally, projects within one-half mile of either an existing major transit stop or a stop along an existing high quality transit corridor should be presumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Projects that decrease vehicle miles traveled in the project area compared to existing conditions should be considered to have a less than significant transportation impact.

The trip generation rates used in this analysis were determined based on the TJW Engineering estimates. The project is estimated to generate a net total of approximately 236 daily vehicle trips. Based on the zoning classification of Residential Suburban, the property could yield a maximum of 27 dwelling units. The applicant prepared a Traffic Scoping form for the proposal, which was reviewed by the City’s Traffic Engineers to determine whether or not a Traffic Impact Analysis was required. The City Engineer’s determined that a Traffic Impact Analysis was not required because the vehicle trips generated by the proposal was less than 250 daily trips and less Packet Pg. 3262
74 Initial Study
than 50 peak hour trips and would therefore not create negative traffic/transportation impacts.

The project was assessed using the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority’s (SBCTA) screening tool. The result found that the project is within a low VMT generating area per the SBCTA screening tool and does not require further study. There is an Omnitrans bus route (Route 2) at Kendall Avenue and Palm Avenue and a sbX Green Line route at the same location that is within 1 mile of the project site. Accordingly, proposed project VMT impacts related to transportation projects would be less than significant and the project will not conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b). c) No Impact. A significant impact would occur if the proposed project substantially increased an existing hazardous geometric design feature or introduced incompatible uses to the existing traffic pattern. The project will be providing an additional two-foot road right-of-way dedication of the south side of West Belmont Avenue and the west side of Olive Avenue along the project frontages.

The proposed project also includes the construction of roads with curb and gutter. Vehicular access will be provided via Shepherd Lane for lots 1 through 10, via Rosemary Lane for lots 11 through 20 and via West Belmont Avenue for Lots 21 through 25.

The design of the proposed project would comply with all applicable City regulations. Furthermore, the proposed project does not involve changes in the alignment of West Belmont Avenue or Olive Avenue, which are adjacent to the project site. Where the project site meets West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue, the roadways are nearly at grade with the project site. No line of sight issues will occur due to undulations in the road. Sight distance at the project access shall comply with standard California Department of Transportation and City of San Bernardino sight distance standards. The final grading, landscaping, and street improvement plans shall demonstrate that sight distance standards are met. Such plans must be reviewed by the City and approved as consistent with this measure prior to issue of grading permits. The applicant will be constructing West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue at its ultimate half‐section width including landscaping and parkway improvements in conjunction with development, as necessary. The project design will be in accordance with City standards and, therefore, there will be no impact cause by hazardous design features.
d) Less Than Significant Impact. A significant impact would occur if the design of the proposed project would not satisfy emergency access requirements of the San Bernardino Fire Department or in any other way threaten the ability of emergency vehicles to access and serve the project site or adjacent uses. The proposed project would not result in inadequate emergency access. As discussed above, access to the project site is proposed via West Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue. The roadways are of sufficient length to provide access to fire and emergency vehicles and are consistent with the California Fire Code. All access features are subject to and must satisfy the City of San Bernardino and San Bernardino County Fire Department design requirements. This project would not result in adverse impacts with regard to emergency access.

Sources
Information used to prepare this section is from the following sources: CRM TECH, Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report Tentative Tract Map Number 20421 Assessor’s Parcel No. 0261-151-010, City of San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California, dated May 6, 2022; Email dated October 11, 2022 from Ryan Nordness, Cultural Resource Analyst from the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation and City of San Bernardino General Plan Update, 2005.

Environmental Setting
As of July 1, 2015, California Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) was enacted and expanded CEQA by establishing a formal consultation process for California tribes within the CEQA process. The bill specified that any project may affect or cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource would require a lead agency to “begin consultation with a California Native American tribe that is traditional and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of the proposed project.” Section 21074 of AB 52 also defined a new category of resources under CEQA called “tribal cultural resources.” Tribal cultural resources are defined as “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe” and is either listed on or eligible for the California Register of Historical Resources or a local historic register, or if the lead agency chooses to treat the resource as a tribal cultural resource.

On February 19, 2016, the California Natural Resources Agency proposed to adopt and amend regulations as part of AB 52 implementing Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations, CEQA Guidelines, to include consideration of impacts to tribal cultural resources Packet Pg. 3264
76 Initial Study
pursuant to Government Code Section 11346.6. On September 27, 2016, the California Office of Administrative Law approved the amendments to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and these amendments are addressed within this environmental document.

Between February and May 2022, CRM TECH performed a cultural resources study on approximately 6.1 acres of former agricultural land in the northwestern portion of the City of San Bernardino. The purpose of the study is to provide the City with the necessary information and analysis to determine whether the proposed project would cause substantial adverse changes to any “historical resources” as defined by CEQA, that may exist in or around the project area. In order to identify such resources, CRM TECH conducted a historical/archaeological resource records search, pursued historical background research, contacted Native American representatives, and carried out an intensive-level field survey.

Project archaeologist Deirdre Encarnación reviewed CRM TECH archives for recent studies on nearby properties and the records search results for those studies from the South Central Coastal Information Center (SCCIC), California State University, Fullerton. From these data, Encarnación was able to construct a coverage of existing records pertaining to an approximate half-mile scope of the records search as of December 2018. As the SCCIC has not updated its collection since the beginning of the pandemic, the coverage was considered adequate for the study.

On February 17, 2022, CRM TECH archaeologist Daniel Ballester carried out the intensive-level field survey of the project area. The survey was completed by walking a series of parallel transects oriented northeast-southwest and spaced 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) apart. In this way, the ground surface of the entire project area was systematically and carefully examined for any evidence of human activities dating to the prehistoric or historic period (i.e., 50 years or older). Ground visibility was generally excellent (90-100%) due to the light vegetative cover.

Chapter 532 Statutes of 2014 (i.e., AB 52) requires that lead agencies evaluate a project’s potential impact on “tribal cultural resources.” Such resources include “sites, features, places, cultural landscapes, sacred places, and objects with cultural value to a California Native American tribe that are eligible for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources or included in a local register of historical resources.” AB 52 also gives lead agencies the discretion to determine, based on substantial evidence, whether a resource qualifies as a “tribal cultural resource.” In compliance with AB 52, the City of San Bernardino distributed letters to numerous Native American tribes notifying each tribe of the opportunity to consult with the City regarding the proposed project. The tribes were identified based on previous requests to be notified of future projects proposed by the City. Please note that the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (SMBMI) has changed their Tribe’s name to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN).

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant Impact. Historical background research for this study was conducted by CRM TECH historian Bai “Tom” Tang. Sources consulted included published literature in local and regional history, historical maps of the Verdemont area, and aerial/satellite photographs of the project vicinity. The maps consulted were primarily USGS topographic quadrangles dated 1901-1996, which were accessible at the USGS website. The aerial and satellite photographs, taken between 1930 and 2021, are available from the online library of the University of California, Santa Barbara, at the Nationwide Environmental Title Research (NETR) website, and through the Google Earth software
Historical sources consulted for the study suggests that project area has are relatively low in sensitivity for cultural resources from the historic period. The field survey yielded completely Packet Pg. 3265
Belmont Subdivision 77
negative results for potential cultural resources, and no buildings, structures, objects, sites, features, or artifacts of prehistoric or historical origin were encountered within or adjacent to the project area. Scattered modern refuse was observed on much of the property, especially along Belmont and Olive Avenues, but none of items was of any historical/archaeological interest.

CEQA establishes that a project that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a “historical resource” or a “tribal cultural resource” is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment (PRC §21084.1-2). “Substantial adverse change,” according to PRC §5020.1(q), “means demolition, destruction, relocation, or alteration such that the significance of a historical resource would be impaired.” The CRM TECH study encountered no “historical resources” within or adjacent to the project area. Based on these findings, CRM TECH presents the following recommendations to the City of San Bernardino:
• The proposed project will not cause a substantial adverse change to any known “historical resources.”
• No further cultural resources investigation will be necessary for the project unless development plans undergo such changes as to include areas not covered by this study. • If any buried cultural materials are encountered during earth-moving operations associated with the project, all work in the immediate area should be halted or diverted until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the nature and significance of the finds.

Therefore, the proposed project would not have a significant impact to a historical resource, as defined in PRC Section 5020.1(k). Thus, impacts to a listed or eligible resource under the California Register of Historical Resources or a local register as defined under Public Resources Code section 5020.1(k) are anticipated to be less than significant. b) Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated. According to the Historical/Archaeological Resources Survey Report, the NAHC reported in a letter dated March 28, 2022, that the Sacred Lands File search identified unspecified Native American cultural resource(s) in the project vicinity. The NAHC recommended contacting local Native American groups and provided a referral list of potential contacts in the region. Upon receiving the NAHC’s reply, CRM TECH sent written requests for comments to all 12 of the tribal groups on the referral list. The 12 tribal representatives contacted are listed below:

Patricia Garcia-Plotkin, Tribal Historic Preservation Office Director, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians;
Andrew Salas, Chairperson, Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation; Sandonne Goad, Chairperson, Gabrieliño Tongva Nation;
Christina Conley, Tribal Administrator, Gabrielino Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council; Anthony Morales, Chairperson, Gabrieleño/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians; Charles Alvarez, Chairperson, Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe;
Ann Brierty, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Morongo Band of Mission Indians; Jill McCormick, Historic Preservation Officer, Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation; Jessica Mauck, Cultural Resources Analyst, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians; Vanessa Minott, Tribal Administrator, Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians; Mark Cochrane, Co-Chairperson, Serrano Nation of Mission Indians; Joseph Ontiveros, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians.

To CRM TECH’s inquiry, four of the 12 tribes responded. Among them, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians stated that they were not aware of any Native American cultural resources near the project location but that the area was still of concern to the tribe. The San Manuel Band is interested in further consultation with the City of San Bernardino on this project as a part of the AB52 process. The other three tribes who responded, namely the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Packet Pg. 3266
78 Initial Study
Indians, the Quechan Tribe of the Fort Yuma Reservation, and the Santa Rosa Band of Cahuilla Indians, had no concerns or comments regarding this project. Instead, the Agua Caliente Band and the Quechan Tribe deferred to other Native American groups in closer proximity to the project location.

On March 10, 2022, the City of San Bernardino sent out letters compliance with AB52 to the following Tribes:

Andrew Salas, Chairperson, Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation; Jessica Mauck, Cultural Resources Analyst, San Manuel Band of Mission Indians; Joseph Ontiveros, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians.

No response was received from the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians. The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians responded pursuant to AB52 on March 28, 2022. They indicated that the proposed project area exists within their ancestral territory and, therefore, is of interest to the Tribe. However, due to the nature and location of the proposed project, and given the CRM Department’s present state of knowledge, YSMN does not have any concerns with the project’s implementation, as planned, at the present time. YSMN requested that the language be made a part of the project/permit/plan conditions. See Mitigation Measures below. In an email dated October 11, 2022, the Tribe reaffirmed their prior request and noted their changed name to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation (YSMN).

The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation responded pursuant to AB52. They provided a written request for consultation regarding the project as the project lies within their ancestral tribal territory, meaning belonging to or inherited from, which is a higher degree of kinship than traditional or cultural affiliation. AB 52 mandates that the lead agency begin consultation within thirty days of the formal request to consult. The Kizh Nation established a date of June 7, 2022 to have a discussion to consult. On June 7, 2022, the Tribe determined that the language set by the San Manuel tribe would suffice, and asked to defer the project to San Manuel Band of Mission Indians.

Given the level of previous disturbance within the project site, it is not expected that any tribal cultural resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 21074 would occur within the project area. There are no known site, feature, place, cultural landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American Tribe has been identified as a Tribal Cultural Resource within the project limits. The site is within an urbanized area of the City. However, there is the potential for the project to affect previously unidentified Native American tribal cultural resources. Mitigation Measure TCR‐1 and TCR-2 have been identified to mitigate this potential impact to tribal cultural resources.

Mitigation Measures
TCR-1: The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department (YSMN) shall be contacted of any pre-contact cultural resources discovered during project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a Cultural Resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the archaeologist, in coordination with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this plan. This plan shall allow for a monitor to be present that represents YSMN for the remainder of the project, should the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation elect to place a monitor on-site.

Packet Pg. 3267
Belmont Subdivision 79
TCR-2: Any and all cultural documents created as a part of the project (isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation throughout the life of the project.

Level of Significance After Mitigation
Compliance with MM TCR‐1 and TCR-2 would mitigate potential impacts to tribal cultural resources to a less than significant level.

Environmental Setting
Water
The City of San Bernardino Department of Public Works Water Division provides water services to Verdemont area of the City of San Bernardino. The proposed project site is located in the area served by the San Bernardino Water District.

Wastewater
The City of San Bernardino owns, operates, and maintains the local public sanitary sewer system, which includes a wastewater collection system and treatment plant that serve most properties within the City limits. The sewer system serves all of the City’s incorporated areas and accepts wastewater from outside the city limits.

Solid Waste Service
The City of San Bernardino has contracted Burrtec with solid waste collection services. Burrtec provides curbside pickup for regular trash, green waste, and recyclables. According to the Burrtec website, they also offer bulky item pick-up, Christmas tree recycling, electronic waste, and used motor oil collection upon request. Solid waste that is collected from the City is routed to the Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill, located within City limits north of the 210 Freeway.

The Mid-Valley Sanitary Landfill is owned and operated by the County of San Bernardino Solid Waste Management Division. The landfill encompasses 498 acres, 222 of which are being used for waste disposal activities. The landfill is permitted to accept 7,500 ton/day of solid waste.

Discussion
a) thru c) Less Than Significant Impact. The City operates its own municipal water supply and distribution system, which provides water service to much of the City of San Bernardino, including the project site. Sections 10910-10915 of the State Water Code require the preparation of a water supply assessment (WSA) demonstrating sufficient water supplies for any subdivision that involves the construction of more than 500 dwelling units, or the equivalent thereof. As the project is below the established thresholds, no WSA is required. The project would not alter or impact any existing water treatment facilities, and would not substantially increase demand so as to require expansion of existing or new facilities.

All wastewater generated by the proposed project would be routed to and treated by the San Bernardino Water Reclamation Plant (SBWRP). The SBWRP is considered to be a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW), so operational discharge flows treated at the SBWRP would be required to comply with waste discharge requirements contained within the WDRs for that facility. Compliance with condition or permit requirements established by the City, and waste discharge requirements at the SBWRP would ensure that discharges into the wastewater treatment facility system from the operation of the proposed project would not exceed applicable Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board wastewater treatment requirements. Expected wastewater flows from the proposed project will not exceed the capabilities of the serving treatment plant, so no significant impact related to this issue would occur. No mitigation is required.

Packet Pg. 3269
Belmont Subdivision 81
The project is proposing to connect to the sewer main in West Belmont Avenue. There are existing 8-inch water lines in West Belmont Avenue. Connections to local water and sewer mains would involve temporary and less than significant construction impacts that would occur in conjunction with other on-site improvements. No additional improvements are anticipated to either sewer lines or treatment facilities to serve the proposed project. Standard connection fees will address any incremental impacts of the proposed project. Therefore, the project will result in less than significant impacts as a result of new or expanded water and wastewater treatment facilities.

The future development of 25 houses would use approximately 10,000 gallons per day (gpd) of water, estimating 400 gpd per household, or 3,650,000 gallons per year. It would generate a marginal increase in additional demand for water, relative to overall existing citywide demand. As the Integrated Regional Urban Water Management Plan anticipates an overall increase in demand associated with development in the area over 2020 conditions, and the water demand for this project is within that demand assumption, impacts would be less than significant. There are sufficient water supplies in the City to meet the project’s estimated water demand. The project would not substantially deplete water supplies, and the project would have a less than significant impact on entitled water supplies.

The project would be required to comply with Water Wise Landscaping of the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code, which would lessen the project’s demand for water resources. Also, CBC Title 24 water efficiency measures require a demonstrated 20 percent reduction in the use of potable water. The project’s landscaping plans will include drought tolerant landscaping materials.

Compliance with Title 24 and the City’s Water Wise standards will reduce the proposed project’s impacts to groundwater supplies to a level of less than significant. d) and e) Less Than Significant Impact. Significant impacts could occur if the proposed project will exceed the existing permitted landfill capacity or violates federal, state, and local statutes and regulations.

Solid waste generated during construction and post construction will be managed by the applicant’s contractor. A waste management plan will be developed with the General Contractor and appropriate third party recycling vendor for the project so that 50 percent of construction wastes are recycled or salvaged. The future25 single‐family homes that would be built after the land is subdivided would have solid waste service provided. The USEPA has estimated that in the United States, a typical person will generate 4.4 pounds of solid waste per day. Using the average of 3.41 persons per household for the 25 future new homes, approximately 375 pounds per day would be generated. The USEPA has also estimated that approximately 1.53 pounds of every 4.4 pounds generated are recycled. The remaining solid waste would go to the landfill. The City of San Bernardino is committed to meeting the goals of SB 939 with regard to meeting the State’s goal of 50 percent diversion of solid waste from landfills. In order to meet this goal and also continue to accommodate additional population growth in the region, cities counties and waste managers must increase the amount of source reduction, recycling and composting that can be done. Therefore this impact would be less than significant and no mitigation is required. The proposed project is required to comply with all applicable Federal, State, County, and City statutes and regulations related to solid waste as a standard project condition of approval. Therefore, no impact would occur.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because impacts to Utilities will be less than significant.

a) thru d) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed subdivision project for the development of 25-dwelling units is a residential infill project. Per State Fire and Building Codes, sufficient space will have to be provided around the structures for emergency personnel and equipment access and emergency evacuation. All project elements, including landscaping, would be sited with sufficient clearance from existing and proposed structures so as not to interfere with emergency access to and evacuation from the facility. The project would comply with the California Fire Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Section 9).

The project driveways would allow emergency access and evacuation from the site, and would be constructed to San Bernardino Code specifications. Over the long term, the project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or evacuation plan because no permanent public street or lane closures are proposed. Construction work in the street associated with the project would be limited to lateral utility connections, undergrounding of utility lines and installation of street trees; all of which would be limited to nominal potential traffic diversion. Traffic control would be provided for any lane closures. Project impacts would be less than significant.

The project site is located within an urbanized area of the City of San Bernardino and is not located within a fire hazard zone, as identified on the latest Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps prepared by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CALFIRE). There are no wildland conditions in the urbanized area that the project site is located. The project would not be expected to impair emergency plans, exacerbate wildfire risks or expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of wildfire. The project would not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may result temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment. The project would not expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes. The project area is relatively flat and characterized with slopes that are not high (less than 10 percent) or steep. Therefore this impact would be less than significant and no mitigation is required
g) No Impact.

Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are necessary because impacts to Wildfires will be less than significant.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Packet Pg. 3272
84 Initial Study
a) Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially
reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below
self‐sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community,substantially reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or
animal or eliminate important examples of the major
periods of California history or prehistory?
b) Does the project have impacts that are individually
limited, but cumulatively considerable?
(“Cumulatively considerable” meansthat the
incremental effects of a project are considerable
when viewed in connection with the effects of past
projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
c) Doesthe project have environmental effects which
will cause substantial adverse effects on human
beings, either directly or indirectly?
Sources
Information used to prepare this section is from Sections 4.1 through 4.20 above.

Discussion
a) Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project would not substantially impact any scenic vistas, scenic resources, or the visual character of the area, as discussed in Section 4.1, and would not result in excessive light or glare. The project site is located within an urbanized area with limited natural habitat. The project would not significantly impact any sensitive plants, plant communities, fish, wildlife or habitat for any sensitive species, as discussed in Section 4.4. The environmental analysis provided in Section 4.2 concludes that impacts related to emissions of criteria pollutants and other air quality impacts will be less than significant. Section 4.5 identifies measures to mitigate potential impacts to inadvertent archaeological finds and human remains. Sections 4.8 and 4.10 conclude that impacts related to climate change and hydrology and water quality will be less than significant. Section 4.18 identifies measures to mitigate potential impacts to tribal cultural resources. Based on the preceding analysis of potential impacts in the responses to items 4.1 thru 4.20, no evidence is presented that this project would degrade the quality of the environment. The City hereby finds that impacts related to degradation of the environment, biological resources and cultural resources will be less than significant with mitigation incorporated. b) Less Than Significant. Cumulative impacts can result from the interactions of environmental changes resulting from one proposed project with changes resulting from other past, present, and future projects that affect the same resources, utilities and infrastructure systems, public services, transportation network elements, air basin, watershed, or other physical conditions. Such impacts could be short-term and temporary, usually consisting of overlapping construction impacts, as well as long term, due to the permanent land use changes involved in the project. The proposed development will generally result in less than significant environmental impacts, as discussed herein. Short-term impacts related to noise will be less than significant and therefore will not Packet Pg. 3273
Belmont Subdivision 85
contribute substantially to any other concurrent construction programs that may be occurring in the vicinity. Short-term impacts related to pollutant emissions will be less than significant and will not exceed maximum thresholds.

The proposed project would not significantly cumulatively affect the environment. Water supplies have been studied in the Urban Water Management Plan, and the above cumulative projects are consistent with UWMP level of development assumptions. Continued efforts towards water conservation, as required by State law, would reduce water demands; the project would result in a less than significant cumulative impact on water supply and other resources. As indicated in Section 4.17 herein, the proposed project would not result in any significant traffic impacts to transportation. Based on the air quality modeling, air quality could be affected in the shortterm during construction, but long-term cumulative effects will have a less than significant impact on air quality. Adherence to all conditions recommended, the cumulative impacts can be less than significant.
c) Less Than Significant. Based on the analysis of the proposed project’s impacts in the responses to items 4.1 thru 4.20, there is no indication that this project could result in substantial adverse effects on human beings. While there would be a variety of temporary adverse effects during construction related to noise and criteria pollutant emission these would be minimized to acceptable levels through implementation of routine construction control measures. Long-term effects would include increased vehicular traffic, traffic-related noise, periodic on-site operational noise, minor changes to on-site drainage, and changing of the visual character of the site.

Projected emission levels would be below the thresholds of significance recommended by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Project-related traffic would represent a small percentage increase in traffic volumes along nearby roadways and would have a less-thansignificant impact on roadway noise levels. Based on the analysis in this Initial Study, the City finds that direct and indirect impacts to human beings will be less than significant.

6 Summary of Mitigation Measures
Cultural Resources
CR-1: In the event that cultural resources are discovered during project activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find (within a 60‐foot buffer) shall cease and a qualified archaeologist meeting Secretary of Interior standards shall be hired to assess the find. Work on the other portions of the project outside of the buffered area may continue during this assessment period.

Additionally, the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department shall be contacted regarding any pre‐contact and/or historic‐era finds and be provided information after the archaeologist makes his/her initial assessment of the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment.

CR-2: If significant pre‐contact and/or historic‐era cultural resources, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), are discovered and avoidance cannot be ensured, the archaeologist shall develop a Monitoring and Treatment Plan, the drafts of which shall be provided to Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation for review and comment. The archaeologist shall monitor the remainder of the project and implement the Plan accordingly.

CR-3: If human remains or funerary objects are encountered during any activities associated with the project, work in the immediate vicinity (within a 100‐foot buffer of the find) shall cease and the County Coroner shall be contacted pursuant to State Health and Safety Code §7050.5 and that code enforced for the duration of the project.

Noise
N‐1: Prior to the issuance of grading and building permits, the contractor shall establish a Construction Management Plan that includes the following standards:
• Construction shall adhere to the allowable operable hours as denoted within the SBMC Chapter 8.54.
• During all project site excavation and grading on‐site, construction contractors shall equip all construction equipment, fixed or mobile, with properly operating and maintained mufflers, consistent with manufacturer standards. • The contractor shall place all stationary construction equipment so that emitted noise is directed away from the noise sensitive receptors nearest the project site. • Equipment shall be shut off and not left to idle when not in use. • The contractor shall locate equipment staging in areas that will create the greatest distance between construction‐related noise sources and sensitive receptors nearest the project site during all project construction.
• The contractor shall limit the use of vibratory and/or heavy equipment along the project boundaries to the greatest degree possible.

Tribal Cultural Resources
TCR-1: The Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation Cultural Resources Department shall be contacted of any pre-contact cultural resources discovered during project implementation, and be provided information regarding the nature of the find, so as to provide Tribal input with regards to significance and treatment. Should the find be deemed significant, as defined by CEQA (as amended, 2015), a Cultural Resources Monitoring and Treatment Plan shall be created by the Packet Pg. 3279

archaeologist, in coordination with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, and all subsequent finds shall be subject to this plan. This plan shall allow for a monitor to be present that represents YSMN for the remainder of the project, should the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation elect to place a monitor on-site.

TCR-2: Any and all cultural documents created as a part of the project (isolate records, site records, survey reports, testing reports, etc.) shall be supplied to the applicant and Lead Agency for dissemination to the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation. The Lead Agency and/or applicant shall, in good faith, consult with the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation throughout the life of the project.

1.0 Introduction
Natural Resources Assessment, Inc. (NRAI) was contracted by Inland Self Storage Management to provide biological services for a proposed 25-lot residential subdivision in San Bernardino, California. The project approval process requires a biological resource assessment.

2.0 Site Location and Project Description
The property consists of one parcel (APN 0261-151-10) located on the southwest corner of Belmont Avenue and Olive Avenue in the Verdemont area of San Bernardino (Figures 1 and 2). The 6.10-acre property is in an unsectioned area of Township 1 North, Range 5 West on the San Bernardino North USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle, San Bernardino Base and Meridian (Figure 2).

Review of historic aerial photographs indicated that the property has been a vacant lot since at least 1985 (Google Earth, accessed March 24, 2022).

There are two actions being requested from the City of San Bernardino. The first action is Development Code Amendment 21-05 to modify the land use map to change the land use designation from RL (Residential Low -3.1 du/net ac) with a minimum average lot size of 10,800 square feet to RS (Residential Suburban –4.5 du/net ac) with a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. The second action is approval of Tentative Tract Map No. 20421 (SUB 21-11), a subdivision of 6.10-gross acres into 25 residential lots for a single-family detached product type (Figure 3).

3.0 Methods

3.1 Data Review
NRAI conducted a data search for information on plant and wildlife species known occurrences within the vicinity of the project. This review included biological texts on general and specific biological resources, and those resources considered to be sensitive by various wildlife agencies, local governmental agencies and interest groups. Information sources included but are not limited to the following:
• Data from Calflora, California Native Plant Society (CNPS) Inventory; the California Consortium of Herbaria; the Information, Planning, and Conservation System (IPaC); the Biogeographic Information & Observation System (BIOS); and the California Natural Diversity Data Base (CNDDB).
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) regulations on sensitive biological resources and jurisdictional waters. • Other texts relevant to this area of San Bernardino and information from regional experts and previous studies for this area.

NRAI used the information in our survey efforts. Please see Section 5.0 for a complete listing of documents reviewed.

3.2 Field Assessment
Ms. Karen Kirtland of NRAI and Mr. Ricardo Montijo conducted a biological assessment of the development area March 2, 2022. The field team evaluated the property habitats, making notes on the general and sensitive biological resources present and taking representative photographs.

The field team evaluated the property for drainages subject to the authority of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, CDFW under Sections 1600 et seq. of the California Fish and Game Code, and the water act regulations of the State Water Resources Control Board.

4.0 Results

4.1 Weather, Topography and Soils
Weather at the beginning of the general biological assessment field survey was 67 degrees Fahrenheit, with clear skies southwest winds at 0.7 miles per hour. By the end of the survey, the temperature was 73 degrees Fahrenheit, with clear skies and winds of one to two miles per hour.

The property has a flat topography (Figure 1).

Tujunga gravelly loamy sand (TvC) is the only soil found on the property (Figure 4, Natural Resources Conservation Service 2022). Tujunga gravelly loamy sand (TvC) occurs on zero to nine percent slopes. It is made up of alluvium derived from granite found on alluvial fans. Tujunga gravelly loamy sand is nonhydric and non-saline. Water rarely floods on this soil and never ponds. It is classified as a somewhat excessively drained soil.

The soil has been impacted by weeding and some trespassing use, and are mass compacted.

4.2 Land Uses
A review of aerial imagery from Google Earth indicates that the property has been a vacant lot since at least 1985. Current disturbances foot traffic and minor trash dumping. The disturbances have continued up to the time of our survey.

4.3 Vegetation
The property supports three distinct vegetation types. Most of the property is occupied by ruderal vegetation (Photo 1). An isolated stand of California buckwheat scrub is along the paved road in the southern part of the property, and a double olive tree row is located along Belmont Avenue on the northern part of the property (Photo 3).

4.3.1 Ruderal/Wildflower
The ruderal plant community found on the property is comprised of a mix of mostly non-native (ruderal) weeds including Mediterranean beardgrass (Schismus barbataus), foxtail brome (Bromus madritensis ssp. rubens), and red-stemmed filaree (Erodium cicutarium)
Native wildflowers such as telegraph weed (Heterotheca grandiflora), common fiddleneck (Amsinckia intermedia), hairy lupine (Lupinus hirsutissimus), pencil pectocarya (Pectocarya pencillata) and strigose lotus (Lotus strigosus) are scattered throughout the property.

4.3.2 California Buckwheat Scrub
The California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) scrub is limited to a small stand on the slope along the paved road in the southern end of the property. The dominant plant is California buckwheat scrub. Also found here is medicago (Medicago sativa), graceful buckwheat (Eriogonum gracile), common fiddleneck, strigate lotus and hairy lupine.

4.3.3 Olive Tree Row
There is a double row of European olive (Oleo europea) trees along Belmont Avenue in the northern part of the property. The undergrowth has been mostly removed by hikers and dirt bikes, but remnants of red brome (Bromus rubens) and Mediterranean grass.

4.3.4 Bare Ground
Patches of bare ground occur at scattered locations throughout the site but are most common in high-use areas. These include a section between the oak rows and along Olive Avenue where informal off-street parking has been created. Other bare areas are present mainly because of off-road trespassing and foot traffic.

4.3.5 Wildlife
The field team did not observe any amphibian species. No water sources are found on the property that would be used by amphibians, and the relative lack of ground cover, rocks or shrub makes the site unsuitable for most reptile species.

Side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana) and northwestern fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis occidentalis) were the only reptile species observed.

Bird species seen or hear included house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna), northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), and common raven (Corvus corax).

The field team observed Botta’s gopher (Thomomys bottae) burrows throughout the site. They team did not find sign of other native mammal species.

A list of all wildlife species observed is provided in Appendix A.

4.4 Sensitive Biological Resources
All sensitive species were considered as potentially present on the project site if its known geographical distribution encompassed all or part of the project area or if its distribution was near the site and its general habitat requirements were present.

There is no habitat for sensitive plants, fish, amphibians, reptiles or mammals that were listed as potentially present in the vicinity of the property (Appendix B).

A list of all plant species observed is provided in Appendix A.

4.5 Jurisdictional Waters

4.5.1 Army Corps of Engineers
The Corps regulates discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. These watersheds include wetlands and non-wetland bodies of water that meet specific criteria. The lateral limit of Corps jurisdiction extends to the Ordinary High-Water Mark (OHWM) and to any wetland areas extending beyond the OHWM; thus, the maximum jurisdictional area is represented by the OHWM or wetland limit, whichever is greater.

Corps regulatory jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act is founded on a connection or nexus between the water body in question and interstate (waterway) commerce. This connection may be direct, through a tributary system linking a stream channel with traditional navigable waters used in interstate or foreign commerce, or may be indirect, through a nexus identified in the Corps regulations.

4.5.2 Regional Water Quality Control Board
The Corps has delegated the authority for use of 404 permits to each individual state. The use of a 404 permit in California is regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act regulations. The Board has authority to issue a 401 permit that allows the use of a 404 permit in the state, with the authority in the state being vested in regional offices known as Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB).

Under the Porter-Cologne Act of 2003, the SWRCB has extended its responsibilities to include impacts to water quality from non-point source pollution.

In addition, the SWRCB has the responsibility to require that projects address ground water and water quality issues, which would be evaluated as part of the geotechnical and hydrology studies. Their authority extends to all waters of the State (of California).

4.5.3 California Department of Fish and Wildlife
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), through provisions of the State of California Administrative Code, is empowered to issue agreements for any alteration of a river, stream or lake where fish or wildlife resources may adversely be affected. Streams (and rivers) are defined by the presence of a channel bed and banks, and at least an intermittent flow of water. Lateral limits of jurisdiction are not clearly defined, but generally include any riparian resources associated with a stream or lake, CDFW regulates wetland areas only to the extent that those wetlands are part of a river, stream or lake as defined by CDFW.

Findings
There is no wetland or riparian habitat on site. There are no drainages or evidence of water flow. Ruderal, olive groves, California buckwheat scrub and bare ground are the only habitats present on the property.

The project site has been subject to historical disturbance and shows signs of recent weeding activities.

4.6 Raptors, Migratory Birds, and Habitat
Most of the raptor species (eagles, hawks, falcons and owls) are experiencing population declines because of habitat loss. Some, such as the peregrine falcon, have also experienced population losses because of environmental toxins affecting reproductive success, animals destroyed as pests or collected for falconry, Packet Pg. 3381
Tentative Tract Map 20421 NATURAL RESOURCES ASSESSMENT, INC.

General Biological Assessment
April 18, 2022 Belmont & Olive ISS22-101 11
and other direct impacts on individuals. Only a few species, such as the red-tailed hawk and barn owl, have expanded their range despite or a result of human modifications to the environment. As a group, raptors are of concern to state and federal agencies.

Raptors and all migratory bird species, whether listed or not, also receive protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 19181. The MBTA prohibits individuals to kill, take, possess or sell any migratory bird, bird parts (including nests and eggs) except per regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Department (16 U. S. Code 7032).

Additional protection is provided to all bald and golden eagles under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940, as amended3. State protection is extended to all birds of prey by the California Fish and Game Code, Section 2503.54. No take is allowed under these provisions except through the approval of the agencies or their designated representatives.

No take is allowed under these provisions except through the approval of the agencies or their designated representatives.

Findings
The parcel had extremely limited and marginal nesting habitat for ground- and shrub-nesting bird species.

The European olive tree double row running east-west along the northern boundary of the property may provide nesting habitat for birds. At the time of the survey, we observed apparent nesting behavior by at least one Anna’s hummingbird (localized movements for foraging, continual returning to the same general location in the olive tree row). In addition, there is potential foraging habitat on site for the sensitive bird species listed in Table 1, which includes suitable habitat on site (such as the double olive tree row) and on the adjacent properties.

We recommend that if construction5 is scheduled between February 1 and August 31 a qualified biologist conduct a breeding bird survey no more than three days prior to the start of construction to determine if nesting is occurring.

If occupied nests are found, they shall not be disturbed unless the qualified biologist verifies through noninvasive methods that either (a) the adult birds have not begun egg-laying and incubation; or (b) the juveniles from the occupied nests are capable of independent survival.

If the biologist is not able to verify one of the above conditions, then no disturbance shall occur within a distance specified by the qualified biologist for each nest or nesting site. The qualified biologist will determine the appropriate distance in consultation with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
5 Construction” includes selection of staging areas, demolition, tree, trash and debris removal, placement of equipment and machinery on to the site preparatory to grading, and any other project-related activity that increases noise and human activity on the project site beyond existing levels. Emergency measures are exempt from this definition Packet Pg. 3383
