STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
August 1, 2023
TO: Planning Commission of the City of San Joaquin
FROM: Elizabeth Cabrera, City Manager
SUBJECT: Extension for Tentative Tract Map No. 6152 for Future Development of the 55- Single-Family-Lot Subdivision of APN: 033-260-15S for One Year Recommendation:
Recommend that the Planning Commission (i) review and consider the analysis provided in the Addendum to the General Plan EIR (Exhibit B), finding that none of the conditions described in CEQA Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred; and (ii) adopt Resolution approving the extension for Tentative Map No. 6152 Executive Summary
San Joaquin Properties, LLC submitted a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) Extension for future development of the 55-single-family-lot subdivision on APN: 033-260-15S. The current parcel is
11.2-acres, rectangularly shaped, and located on the northwest corner of Main Street and Arizona Street (see Exhibit A). The parcel is located within city limits, designated by the General Plan as Low Density Residential and currently zoned R-1. Extension of the tentative tract map would allow an additional year for development and approval of a Final Map to subdivide the parcel into 55 lots for future development of single-family homes, three internal residential streets, and trail and park improvements required by Parcel Map 18-01, as shown in Exhibit A of the resolution. These lots would be a minimum of 6,000 SF with an average of 6,548 SF. The property is not in a flood hazard zone.
State Law Consistency
California Government Code Section 66452.6(e) states that, “Upon application of the subdivider filed before the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the time at which the map expires pursuant to subdivision (a) may be extended by the legislative body or by an advisory agency authorized to approve or conditionally approve tentative maps for a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years.”
The TTM extension is consistent with the State law pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6(a)(1) that states: “An approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall expire 24 months after its approval or conditional approval, or after any additional period of time as may be prescribed by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 24 months. This State regulation supersedes the City’s code that only allows for one year for final map approval. The TTM 12 2
extension application was submitted on July 13, 2023, which is within two years prior to the October 5, 2021, City Council approval of TTM No. 6152.
Per the San Joaquin Municipal Code, requests for extension may be considered by the Planning Commission.
CEQA Determination
This project requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Addendum to the City’s General Plan EIR has been reviewed by staff and found that none of the conditions described in CEQA Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. The Planning Commission shall review and consider this analysis prior to making a decision on the map extensions for TSM No. 6152. The Addendum is attached as Exhibit C of the resolution.
Background
A proposed Tentative Tract Map (TTM) was submitted on May 5, 2021, and approved by the City Council on October 5, 2021, to further subdivide TPM 18-01. The City Engineer provided a list of conditions, items required to be included on the final map for the final map to be found acceptable to the City for final approval. The Applicant agreed to these additional conditions for the project listed below as part of obtaining tentative tract map approval, including identified required dedications for Parcel Map 18-01. All other City and CEQA requirements for the proposed TTM have been met.
City staff have reviewed the current conditions of approval and do not recommend any changes or additions to them.

STAFF REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION
August 1, 2023
TO: Planning Commission of the City of San Joaquin
FROM: Elizabeth Cabrera, City Manager
SUBJECT: Extension for Tentative Tract Map No. 6361 for Future Development of the 32- Single-Family-Lot Subdivision of APN: 033-040-95S for One Year Recommendation:
Recommend that the Planning Commission (i) review and consider the analysis provided in the Addendum to the General Plan EIR (Exhibit B), finding that none of the conditions described in CEQA Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred; and (ii) adopt Resolution approving the extension for Tentative Tract Map No. 6361.
Executive Summary
San Joaquin Properties, LLC submitted a Tentative Tract Map (TTM) Extension for future development of the 32-single-family-lot subdivision on APN: 033-260-95S. The current parcel is 7-acres, triangularly shaped, and located on the southwest corner of Main Street and Elm Avenue (See Exhibit A). The parcel is located within city limits, designated by the General Plan as Low Density Residential and currently zoned R-1. Extension of the tentative tract map would allow an additional year for development and approval of a Final Map to subdivide the parcel into 32 lots for future development of single-family homes, three internal residential streets, and trail and park improvements required by Parcel Map 18-01, as shown in Exhibit A of the resolution. These lots would be a minimum of 6,000 SF with an average of 6,548 SF. The property is not in a flood hazard zone.
State Law Consistency
California Government Code Section 66452.6(e) states that, “Upon application of the subdivider filed before the expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative map, the time at which the map expires pursuant to subdivision (a) may be extended by the legislative body or by an advisory agency authorized to approve or conditionally approve tentative maps for a period or periods not exceeding a total of six years.”
The TTM extension is consistent with the State law pursuant to Government Code section 66452.6(a)(1) that states: “An approved or conditionally approved tentative map shall expire 24 months after its approval or conditional approval, or after any additional period of time as may be prescribed by local ordinance, not to exceed an additional 24 months. This State regulation supersedes the City’s code that only allows for one year for final map approval. The TTM 21 2
extension application was submitted on July 13, 2023, which is within two years prior to the October 5, 2021, City Council approval of TTM No. 6361.
Per the San Joaquin Municipal Code, requests for extension may be considered by the Planning Commission.
CEQA Determination
This project requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Addendum to the City’s General Plan EIR has been reviewed by staff and found that none of the conditions described in CEQA Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. The Planning Commission shall review and consider this analysis prior to making a decision on the map extensions for TSM No. 6361. The Addendum is attached as Exhibit C of the resolution.
Background
A proposed Tentative Tract Map (TTM) was submitted on May 5, 2021, and approved by the City Council on October 5, 2021, to further subdivide TPM 18-01. The City Engineer provided a list of conditions, items required to be included on the final map for the final map to be found acceptable to the City for final approval. The Applicant agreed to these additional conditions for the project listed below as part of obtaining tentative tract map approval, including identified required dedications for Parcel Map 18-01. All other City and CEQA requirements for the proposed TTM have been met.
City staff have reviewed the current conditions of approval and do not recommend any changes or additions to them.

The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence (Section 15164[e]).
This Addendum has been prepared in accordance with relevant provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970 (as amended) and the CEQA Guidelines.
According to Section 15164 of the State CEQA Guidelines, an addendum to a previously certified EIR or Negative Declaration is the appropriate environmental document in instances when “only minor technical changes or additions are necessary” and when the new information does not involve new significant environmental effects beyond those identified in the previous EIR.
This Addendum describes the details of the proposed project and compares impacts resulting from these amendments to those identified in the City of San Joaquin’s Final Program EIR. The analysis demonstrates that the environmental impacts of the proposed map amendment are within the scope of the impacts of buildout of the General Plan as identified in the certified EIR. 32 City of San Joaquin

33 Background
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 3 2 Background
This section provides an overview of the City of San Joaquin Tentative Tract Map No. 6152 and 6361 (“proposed project”) to subdivide APN(s): 033-040-95S and 033-260-13S, and its EIR to provide context for this Addendum.
Project Setting
The proposed project is located within the City of San Joaquin on TTM No. 6152, APN: 033-040-95S (12.2 acres) and TTM No.6361, APN:033-260-13S (7 acres) on approximately 22.3-acres along the northeastern portion of Arizona Street and Main Street. The parcels are currently undeveloped and graded in recent years for agricultural purposes.
Surrounding Land Use
The proposed project is surrounded by lands used for agricultural purposes to the north and east, residential (single-family and multi-family) to the south, and a large recreational field to the west.
Existing General Plan Designation
The project site is designated by the City’s General Plan as Low Density Residential as shown in Figure 1.
Existing Zoning
The project site is currently zoned as Single-Family Residential (R-1) as shown in Figure 2.
City of San Joaquin General Plan Program EIR
The City certified the Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the City’s General Plan was adopted in February 2014. The General Plan EIR evaluated potential environmental consequences of implementation of the Specific Plan. Alternatives and mitigation measures were identified to reduce or avoid potential adverse environmental effects associated with the implementation of the General Plan. The EIR assumed that by 2030 the City of San Joaquin could accommodate up to an additional 4,480 housing units, 36 acres for commercial use, 152 acres for industrial use and 57 acres for public facilities and a population increase to a population of 5,398 residents in 2030.
The General Plan EIR determined that the proposed policies of the General Plan would avoid or eliminate all potentially significant impacts associated with implementation of the General Plan, with the exception of significant and unavoidable traffic congestion impacts. Subsequent discretionary actions that propose changes or potential project-specific impacts not covered in the 2014 EIR would warrant additional project-specific environmental review, as required by CEQA. 34 City of San Joaquin

35 Project Description
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 5 3 Project Description
The primary purpose of the proposed project is to adopt two Tentative Subdivision Maps (TSM).
TSM No. 6152 for the future development of a 55-lot subdivision of single-family residential units and adopt TSM No. 6361 for future development of a 32-lot subdivision of single-family residential units for a total of 87-lots on 22.3 acres. The proposed lots would be a minimum of 6,000 SF with an average of 6,548 SF. The site plans for each TSM are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Other proposed improvements include three new associated internal streets, landscaping, a paved trail with landscaping on the Elm Avenue right-of-way, and park improvements. See OS zone at top of the map in Figure 2 and as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Consistency with San Joaquin General Plan
The proposed project would not propose changes to the existing General Plan and is consistent with the existing Low Density Residential land use designation.
Consistency with City of San Joaquin Zoning Map
The proposed project would not propose changes to the existing Zoning Map and is consistent with the existing R-1 (Single-Family Residential District) zone. 36 City of San Joaquin

Environmental Analysis
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 1 4 Environmental Analysis
Pursuant to Section 21166 of CEQA and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, when an EIR has been certified for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for the project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that one or more of the following conditions are met:
Substantial project changes are proposed that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
Substantial changes would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or
New information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified shows any of the following:
a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than identified in the previous EIR.
c) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives. d) Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
Where none of the conditions specified in Section 15162 are present, the lead agency must determine whether to prepare an Addendum or whether no further CEQA documentation is required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[b]). An Addendum is appropriate where some minor technical changes or additions to the previously certified EIR are necessary, but there are no new or substantially more severe significant impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15164).
In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined that an Addendum to the Certified EIR is the appropriate form of environmental review for the proposed project. This examination includes an analysis of the provisions of Section 21166 of CEQA and Sections 15162 to 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines and their applicability to the proposed project.
As discussed in the impact analysis below, the proposed project would not introduce new significant environmental impacts beyond those which have already been identified and characterized in the 2014 General Plan EIR. None of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred or would occur as a result of the proposed project. This Addendum will be considered by the City of San Joaquin decision-making body in making a decision on the proposed project.

42 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 3 5 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed
Project
This Addendum evaluates potential environmental impacts that could result from the proposed project, in relation to the analysis in the certified 2014 General Plan EIR for the City of San Joaquin.
Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines provides a checklist of environmental issue areas that are suggested as the issue areas that should be assessed in CEQA analyses. The 2014 General Plan EIR addressed in detail 17 of the suggested environmental issue areas. Impacts associated with agriculture and forestry resources and mineral resources were not discussed in depth as impacts were determined to be less than significant in the Effects Found Not to be Significant section of the EIR. In addition, updates to the CEQA Guidelines have resulted in two additional issue areas, Energy and Wildfire. In order to provide a thorough analysis of potential impacts associated with the project, this Addendum addresses all 20 environmental issue areas suggested by Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, as listed below.
1. Aesthetics
2. Agriculture and Forestry Resources
3. Air Quality
4. Biological Resources
5. Cultural Resources
6. Energy
7. Geology/Soils
8. Greenhouse Gas Emissions
9. Hazards & Hazardous Materials
10. Hydrology/Water Quality
11. Land Use/Planning
12. Mineral Resources
13. Noise
14. Population/Housing
15. Public Services
16. Recreation
17. Transportation
18. Tribal Cultural Resources
19. Utilities/Service Systems
20. Wildfire
The existing environmental conditions in the City of San Joaquin and its surroundings are substantially the same under present conditions as described in the 2014 General Plan EIR. Potential environmental impacts of the proposed project are analyzed below to determine whether impacts are consistent with the impact analysis provided in the 2014 General Plan EIR, and whether additional mitigation measures are required to minimize or avoid potential impacts. 2014 General Plan EIR Analysis Summary
As described above, the following impact areas were found in the 2014 General Plan EIR to have less than significant impacts: aesthetics, biological resources, cultural and tribal resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, land use and planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, recreation, and utilities and service systems.
The 2014 General Plan EIR determined that impacts to hydrology and water quality, public services, and transportation and traffic could be reduced to less than significant levels with mitigation. The 2014 General Plan EIR did not discuss the updates to Transportation and Traffic of the CEQA 43 City of San Joaquin
City of San Joaquin Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6152 &6361 Projects 4 Appendix G Checklist, which requires the discussion of Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) from Level of Service (LOS).
Mitigation required in the 2014 General Plan EIR included:
Protecting the existing agricultural land to prevent conversion of agricultural lands Reducing construction air quality emissions per the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) control measures;
Cooperation with the Fresno County Environmental Health Division to ensure the safe and proper closure and/or destruction of abandoned wells and individual septic disposal systems Assess the need for an additional fire station once the City reaches the buildout population of 24,330 people.
Conducting development review in conjunction with the California Public Utilities Commission to ensure proper safety at existing at-grade crossings and railroad rights-of-way.
Impacts to Agricultural Resources and Air Quality were determined to be significant and unavoidable in the 2014 General Plan EIR, despite the implementation of required mitigation measures.
Although the 2014 General Plan EIR did not discuss energy and wildfire as separate resource areas, energy was discussed in terms of consistency with the 2017 Clean Air Plan, as well as electricity and natural gas consumption of the project, and in Section 2.5.3 of the prior Draft General Plan EIR.
Energy consumption was discussed as part of the Greenhouse Gas impacts in the 2014 General Plan EIR. The City’s General Plan policies include; expanding and strengthening the existing exergy efficiency programs, building and appliance standards; establish targets for transportation related GHG emissions throughout the region. In conjunction with requirements set by the SJVAPCD, the 2017 Clean Air Plan and the FCOG initiatives to reduce VMT, total energy usage due to the proposed project would be consistent with 2017 Clean Air Plan and AB 32. Additionally, wildland fires were addressed as part of the hazards and hazardous materials analysis in Section 2.5.8. The 2014 General Plan EIR determined there would be less than significant impact with no mitigation required related to wildfires.
Proposed Project
This discussion groups impact topics to provide a concise analysis of similar or related issue areas. Aesthetics. The proposed project would subdivide the two existing parcels from undeveloped vacant land into a total of 87-subdivided lots for future development of single-family residential units. No land is proposed to be rezoned and would remain zoned as R-1. The proposed project would increase the existing height and intensify development. However, these improvements are allowed on the project site in accordance with the General Plan. These future single-family units would be required to comply with all City height and set-back requirements, including the minimum and maximum densities within the R-1 zone. Street trees and other landscaping is being required by the City along with development of the trail and park per City standards to include amenities to improve their appearance. The project site was analyzed in the 2014 General Plan EIR and planned for future development of single-family residential units. Thus, the proposed project would not result in a new impact or a substantially more severe impact to aesthetics.
44 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 5 Agriculture, Forestry and Mineral Resources. The proposed project would not expand the City Limits to include any additional agricultural lands, lands under a Williamson act contract, timberlands, forest lands, mineral resource zones, or mineral resource extraction sites. The existing approved parcels that would increase population are already designated for future development in an urban built-up environment. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a new impact or a substantially more severe impact to agriculture, forestry or mineral resources.
Air Quality, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The proposed project would add additional housing within the R-1 district. This would increase the population within the existing two parcels, however this increase in population was accounted for in the 2014 General Plan EIR. In addition, Rincon Consultants, Inc. conducted an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Assessment in June 2021 (Appendix A). The Air Quality Assessment found that neither project construction nor operation would exceed the SJVAPCD threshold for criteria pollutants. Additionally, the project would incorporate control measures from SJVAPCD Rule 8021 to reduce fugitive PM10 during construction activities and Rule 4601 to reduce VOCs from architectural coatings. The project must also company with SJVAPCD Rule 9510, which reduces construction and operationalrelated NOx and PM10 emissions from new development. Therefore, project construction and operation would not conflict with implementation of existing air quality plans. As a result, new information of substantial importance has not come to light in relation to from what has been previously analyzed.
Project construction would generate temporary air pollutant emissions associated with fugitive dust (PM10 and PM2.5) and exhaust emissions from heavy construction equipment and construction vehicles in addition to ROG emissions that would be released during the drying phase of architectural coating. Therefore, project construction would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. Mitigation proposed in the 2014 General Plan EIR to reduce potential impacts from air quality emissions would still apply to future development in the City of San Joaquin. The proposed project would not result in a new significant impact or substantially increase the severity of the impact compared to the approved project. Impacts would remain less than significant with mitigation.
Project operation would generate criteria air pollutant emissions associated with area sources (e.g., fireplaces, architectural coatings, consumer products, and landscaping equipment), energy sources (i.e., use of natural gas for space and water heating and cooking), and mobile sources (i.e., vehicle trips to and from the project site). Mitigation proposed in the 2014 General Plan EIR to reduce potential impacts from air quality emissions would still apply to future development in the City of San Joaquin. Therefore, project operation would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is in nonattainment, and impacts would remain less than significant.
The General Plan Draft EIR did not previously analyze the project construction- or operationalrelated TAC emissions or CO concentration. Impacts from TAC and CO are discussed below. The closest existing sensitive receptors to the proposed project are single-family residences located immediately southwest of the project site. In addition, San Joaquin Elementary School is located approximately 870 feet southwest of the project site. The project also includes the siting of new sensitive receptors.
Per the Transportation and Circulation Element in the City of San Joaquin’s General Plan Draft EIR, the arterials and collectors in the City operate at LOS A, B, and occasionally C. There is no 45 City of San Joaquin
City of San Joaquin Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6152 &6361 Projects 6 major traffic congestion and the project would generate approximately 821 daily trips. Given the low congestion of existing traffic and the project size, these new trips would not reduce the LOS of the roadways in the City to LOS E or F. Therefore, the proposed project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial CO concentrations. As a result, new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the previous CEQA documents were prepared, has not come to light in relation to local mobile source CO concentration emissions from what has been previously analyzed.
The proposed project would not increase the Construction TAC emissions impacts compared to the original approved General Plan Draft EIR nor expose nearby sensitive receptors to new or significantly more severe TAC emissions. The duration of proposed construction activities (i.e., 21 months) is approximately three percent of the total exposure period used for 70-year health risk calculations. Current models and methodologies for conducting health-risk assessments are associated with longer-term exposure periods of 9, 30, and 70 years, which do not correlate well with the temporary and highly variable nature of construction activities, resulting in difficulties in producing accurate estimates of health risk (Bay Area Air Quality Management District [BAAQMD] 2017).
The project would not site new sources of permitted or non-permitted air toxics (e.g. mobile and stationary sources), such as a diesel emergency generator or a gasoline dispensing facility.
There are no freeways, high-traffic roads, distribution centers, rail yards, ports, or refineries within 1,000 feet of the site. The project is also not located within the buffer distances for dry cleaners or gasoline dispensing facilities. Because the project would not include substantial TAC sources and is consistent with CARB and SJVAPCD guidelines, it would not result in the exposure of off-site sensitive receptors to significant amounts of carcinogenic or toxic air contaminants.
Consequently, the proposed project would not cause new impacts, or previously identified impacts, to become more severe than previously analyzed with regards to TAC emissions. As a result, new information of substantial importance has not come to light in relation TAC emissions from what has been previously analyzed.
The General Plan Draft EIR identified impacts related to odorous emissions as less than significant. The proposed project would involve the construction and operation of single-family residences, a bike trail, and a park. With respect to operation, the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI identifies land uses associated with odor complaints. Common land uses associated with odors include wastewater treatment facilities, sanitary landfills, food processing facilities, and feed lot/dairy facilities. Residential land uses are not listed in the guidance. The project would not introduce new sources of odorous emissions from what has already been anticipated for the project site because residential land uses do not produce odors that could affect sensitive off-site land uses site. Therefore, the proposed project would not generate other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people, and impacts would not result in any new or significantly impacts previously analyzed in the General Plan Draft EIR.
Construction of the proposed project would generate temporary GHG emissions primarily as a result of operation of construction equipment on-site as well as from vehicles transporting construction workers to and from the project site and heavy trucks to transport building materials and soil export. The SJVAPCVD does not have guidance to address constructionrelated GHG emissions. Therefore, recommendations from the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) were used. GHG emissions from construction of the proposed project were amortized over a 30-year period and added to annual operational emissions to determine the project’s total annual GHG emissions (SCAQMD 2008). Amortized over a 30-year 46 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 7 period per SCAQMD guidance, construction of the proposed project would generate an estimated 31 MT of CO2e per year. Operation of the proposed project would generate GHG emissions associated with area sources (e.g., fireplaces, landscape maintenance), energy and water usage, vehicle trips, and wastewater and solid waste generation. annual operational emissions generated by the proposed project combined with amortized construction emissions would total approximately 1,217 MT of CO2e per year.
Pursuant to the SB 32 goal, the 2017 Scoping Plan was created to outline goals and measures for the state to achieve the reductions. The 2017 Scoping Plan’s strategies that are applicable to the proposed project include reducing fossil fuel use, energy demand, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT); maximizing recycling and diversion from landfills; and increasing water conservation. The project would be consistent with these goals through project design, which includes complying with the latest Title 24 Green Building Code and Building Efficiency Energy Standards.
Additionally, in accordance with Section 150.1(b)14 of the 2019 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, all new residential uses under three stories must install photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that generate an amount of electricity equal to expected electricity usage. Therefore, it was assumed that the project’s electricity usage would be supplied by on-site PV solar panels. A PV system of 133 kilowatts (kW) was estimated.
The project also would be served by Pacific Gas and Electric, which is required to increase its renewable energy procurement in accordance with SB 100 targets. SB 100 supports the reduction of GHG emissions from the electricity sector by accelerating the state’s Renewables Portfolio Standard Program. It requires electricity providers to increase procurement from eligible renewable energy resources to 33 percent of total retail sales by 2020, 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2045. Furthermore, the project would be located within walking and biking distance of several commercial and recreational destinations, which would reduce future residents’ VMT and associated fossil fuel usage. The project also proposes to construct a bike trail for improved multi-modal transportation. Therefore, the project would be consistent with the 2017 Scoping Plan. The proposed project would not result in new or increased impacts related to GHG emissions and global climate change.
Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a new impact or in a substantially more severe impact to air quality and greenhouse gas emissions, as the increase in development were assumptions that were accounted for in the General Plan Land Use Element. Mitigation in the 2014 General Plan EIR to reduce potential impacts from air quality emissions would still apply. Biological, Cultural, Paleontological, and Tribal Cultural Resources. The proposed project would not result in greater ground disturbance, habitat modifications, or other alterations within the project site that would increase or otherwise modify potential impacts to biological, cultural, paleontological, or tribal cultural resources from those identified in the 2014 EIR. Two technical reports were conducted for the project, a Biological Resources Technical Memorandum by Rincon Consultants, Inc. on July 14, 2021. The other technical report was a Cultural Resources Assessment by Rincon Consultants, Inc. on July 14, 2021. The Biological Memo concluded that the existing conditions of the site are highly disturbed and isolated as a result of agricultural activities as well as surrounding residential and agricultural development.
The site lacks natural vegetation communities and suitable habitat for special status species.
The absence of a prey base precludes the site a valuable foraging habitat for raptors. The site’s small size and developed surroundings reduce the potential for special status wildlife to inhabit the site, and no special status species would be expected to occur on the site except incidentally during dispersal. However, considering the project site occurs in the core of high-density 47 City of San Joaquin
City of San Joaquin Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6152 &6361 Projects 8 agriculture and rural development, incidental encounters are unlikely. As such, the project site provides no value as habitat for special status species (Appendix B). The cultural assessment concluded that the background research and pedestrian field survey did not identify any cultural resources within the project site. Given the negative results of this study, the project site is considered to have low archaeological sensitivity. However, it is possible that unanticipated archaeological deposits and/or human remains could be encountered and damaged during the ground-disturbing activities associated with construction (such as grading and excavation), especially if those activities occur in less-disturbed buried sediments (Appendix C). Compliance with existing regulations regarding the discovery of human remains would reduce the impact to less than significant. Mitigation in the 2014 EIR to reduce potential impacts to these resource areas would still apply to future development on the project site to reduce those potential impact to a less than significant level. Thus, the proposed project would not result in a new impact or a substantially more severe impact to these resources. Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality and Utilities. The City is not located within or near a known active fault and is risk of liquefaction is considered low (San Joaquin 2014). There are no known active hazardous waste or substance sites in the City that are identified by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (San Joaquin 2014). The project would subdivide a vacant parcel into 87-subdivided lots for future use as single-family units in the northeastern portion of the City. This is not within the areas (Manning Avenue and Colorado Avenue) identified to have high nitrate levels in the drinking water or near any of the City’s underground petroleum storage tanks. A Water Capacity Assessment was conducted by Alfonso Manrique, PE for the proposed project (Appendix D).
Based on the analysis presented in the report, the City of San Joaquin has approximately 995 gpm (2,100 – 1,105 gpm) or 1.59 MG of maximum daily demand spare capacity to supply future development and approximately 2,442 gpm (4,100- 1,658) of PHD capacity. From this analysis we find that the city’s existing wells can supply the maximum day demand of 1,198 additional households with the existing water supply sources, with the highest capacity source offline.
Beyond 1,198 new household, the City will need an additional water supply well to meet maximum day demand. The proposed project would not create more than 1,198 households.
Thus, impacts to water supply sources would remain less than significant.
The current Waste Discharge Requirements limit the monthly discharge to 0.5 mgd (500,000 gpd). The average maximum day flow to the Waste Water Treatment Facility (WWTF) for 2019 and 2020 is 299,369 gallons per day. Using the ACS population data for San Joaquin, the calculated sewer flow per capita per day is 74 gallons per capita per day. The City of San Joaquin WWTF has approximately 200,631 gpd (500,000 gpd- 299,369 gpd) of average monthly flow in spare hydraulic capacity to support future development. Using 74 gallons per capita per day sewer flow and an average household size of 3.6, the sewer flow per household is calculated to be 266 gallons per day. Assuming each single-family household as one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU), the City WWTF can support an additional 754 EDUs without any upgrades to increase hydraulic capacity. Thus, impacts to the existing sewer capacity and WWTF would remain less than significant.
As described above, the proposed project would not result in greater ground disturbance or alter the boundaries of the City Limits considered in the 2014 General Plan EIR. A geotechnical report, a Phase I ESA and water capacity assessment are required with the preparation of design layouts and grading plans for new developments within the City. Prior to receiving building permits, the project Applicant would be required to comply with the mitigation measures of 48 Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Project
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 9 these technical studies before construction. Therefore, potential impacts to geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, and hydrology and water quality identified in those studies would have to be addressed by the project proponent per City requirements and therefore would remain consistent with those impacts described in the 2014 General Plan EIR and the proposed project would not result in a new impact or a substantially more severe impact to these resources.
Land Use and Planning. The proposed project would subdivide two existing vacant parcels into 87-subdivided lots for future use as single-family units. The property is designated as Low Density Residential and zoned R-1; this is consistent with the City’s General Plan Land Use Element goals, objectives, policies, and zoning map. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a new or substantially more severe land use impact. Noise. The proposed project would not increase the allowable density or intensity of development in the City Limits. The General Plan EIR accounted for development in the areas of the City where the proposed project is located in the General Plan Land Use Element.
Temporary noise during the construction phase of the proposed project would exceed local thresholds if the noise exceeds the FTA 8-hour residential daytime noise level threshold of 80 dBA. Rincon Consultants, Inc. conducted a Noise Assessment for the proposed project in June 2021 (Appendix E). The Noise Assessment concluded construction noise would not exceed the FTA’s daytime residential construction noise threshold of 80 dBA Leq at nearby residential properties. During the operational phase, the project would introduce sources of operational noise to the site, including mechanical equipment (HVAC units). Noise levels would not exceed the residential noise limit of 50 dBA Leq. The vehicle trips associated with the project would increase roadway noise levels by 3 dBA, this would not harm sensitive receptors near the proposed project. Operation of the project would not include any substantial vibration sources.
Groundborne vibration from construction activities would not exceed the distinctly perceptible vibration limit at adjacent property lines. The closest public airport to the project is the William Robert Johnson Municipal Airport, located approximately 14 miles northwest of the project site.
At this distance, noise from the airport would not impact construction workers or residents of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would be consistent with the General Plan’s Noise Element and would not result in new or substantially more severe noise impacts.
Mitigation in the 2014 General Plan EIR to reduce potential impacts from noise would still apply to future development in the City Limits.
Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation and Transportation. The proposed project would not increase the allowable density or intensity of development in the City Limits consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element goals and policies. The 2014 General Plan EIR anticipated this increase in population and housing, demand for public services, demand for recreational facilities, trip generation and demand for transportation facilities. According to the Noise Assessment, the proposed project would increase trips in the City by 822 trips on Colorado Road and Manning Avenue would result in a percentage increase in traffic of 7 percent and 15 percent, respectively. The Fresno Council of Governments (FCOG) VMT Screening Tool, identifies the project to be in within a Medium traffic analysis zone (TAZ) threshold for residential VMT per capita which is within FCOG’s VMT threshold for City /Unincorporated areas and Low (less than 13%) and Low for Fresno County (FCOG 2021).As well, FCOG’s SB 743 VMT calculation tool, shows the project VMT would result in 10.3 VMT per capita, which is below the city’s significance threshold of 14.2 VMT per capita (Appendix F). The proposed project would increase the number of houses within the City, which would increase the population. However, 49 City of San Joaquin
City of San Joaquin Tentative Subdivision Map No. 6152 &6361 Projects 10 these changes are in compliance with land use and population projections made in the 2014 General Plan EIR. In addition, the increase in housing would allow for reduced average per capita VMT as employees would be able to live and work within the City, closer to jobs and other destinations. Impacts related to VMT would be less than significant. The 2014 General Plan EIR found potentially significant impacts to Fire Services once the City’s population reached full buildout at 24,330 people. The proposed project would not result in a substantial increase to existing population estimates. Thus, the proposed project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts to these resources. Mitigation in the 2014 General Plan EIR to reduce potential impacts from public services, and traffic impacts would still apply to this project.
Energy. As discussed above, the proposed project would not increase the allowable density or intensity of development in the City Limits consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element goals and policies. The project would not substantially increase energy use beyond those discussed in the General Plan as the General Plan EIR accounted for this increase in population.
Therefore, the proposed project would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts to energy resources.
Wildfire. The City Limits would not be altered or expanded by the proposed project and the project would not include or increase areas susceptible to wildfire. Therefore, the proposed project would have no impact in terms of wildfire risk.
Mitigation Measures
As described above, it has been determined that the proposed project is consistent with the analysis of the 2014 General Plan EIR and would not result in new or substantially more severe impacts beyond those identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR. Mitigation measures identified in the 2014 General Plan EIR would remain applicable to future development projects in the City Limits.
Additionally, the proposed project is consistent with the findings and conclusions of the 2014 General Plan EIR regarding mandatory findings of significance. 50 Conclusion
Addendum to the Genral Plan Environmental Impact Report 11 6 Conclusion
As discussed in the preceding section, there are no new or substantially more severe impacts associated with the proposed project than those identified and mitigated for in the 2014 General Plan EIR. A subsequent Initial Study or EIR is not necessary because no new impacts or impacts of substantially greater severity than previously described would occur as a result of the proposed project. Therefore, the following determinations have been made:
No further evaluation of environmental impacts is required for the proposed project; No Subsequent EIR is necessary per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162; and This Addendum is the appropriate level of environmental analysis and documentation for the proposed project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c), this Addendum will be included in the public record for the 2014 EIR.

55 STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL
August 1, 2023
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Matt Flood, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Council introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2023-04, amending Section 153.029 of Title XV, Chapter 153 of the San Joaquin Municipal Code relating to the extensions for Tentative Maps.
Recommendation:
Council introduce and waive the first reading of Ordinance No. 2023-04, amending Section 153.029 of Title XV, Chapter 153 of the San Joaquin Municipal Code relating to the extensions for Tentative Maps, with the second reading to be held at Regular Council Meeting of September 5, 2023
Executive Summary
A Tentative Map is the first major step an applicant needs to take in order to create an outline for a property they wish to further develop. It is a professionally made visual design that shows how they intend to orient their property. With the approval of a Tentative Map, they are given a time period in which they need to submit a Final Map (which must be substantially similar to the Tentative Map and is a representation of the final way the property will look, since it is recorded with the County).
Sometimes a developer may need additional time to get a Final Map completed and apply for an extension on the Tentative Map. Staff received a request for that recently, and in consulting the San Joaquin Municipal Code (SJMC), noticed that the current code may not conform with State law.
Therefore, staff is bringing forward an ordinance to change this part of the SJMC, which will make it so that applicants can get an extension up to 24 months after the Tentative Map was initially approved, instead of the 12 that is currently in the SJMC. This will also conform the City’s ordinance to the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act.
Council can introduce the Ordinance at this meeting, and consider adoption at the second reading at the September 5, 2023 regular meeting.
56 ORDINANCE NO. 2023-04
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
JOAQUIN AMENDING SECTION 153.029 OF TITLE XV, CHAPTER
153 OF THE SAN JOAQUIN MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
EXTENSIONS FOR TENTATIVE MAPS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN JOAQUIN DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 153.029 of Chapter 153 of Title XV of the San Joaquin Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
§ 153.029 TIME EXTENSIONS.
The approval or conditional approval of a tentative map shall expire 24 months from the date the map was approved or conditionally approved. The person filing the tentative map may request a two-year extension of the tentative map approval or conditional approval by written application to the Planning Commission, the application shall be filed at least 30 days before the approval or conditional approval is due to expire. The application shall state the reasons for requesting the extension. In granting an extension, new conditions may be imposed and existing conditions may be revised. Up to two additional two-year extensions may be filed. Extensions of tentative map approval or conditional approval shall not exceed an aggregate of six years or as allowed under California Government Code 66452.6. Modification of a tentative map after approval or conditional approval shall not extend the time limits imposed by this section.
SECTION 2. CEQA.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), also known as the “common sense” exemption, CEQA exempts activities that can be seen with certainty to have no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Guidelines state in that section that “a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.”
The project meets the above criteria based that the proposed project does not approve a project for construction and only changes the expiration period for tentative tract maps. No physical impacts will occur as the result of this project. Therefore, the project qualifies for the “common sense” exemption.
57 SECTION 3. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective thirty days after its adoption.
SECTION 4. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause it to be published in accordance with Government Code Section 36933 or as otherwise required by law.
The foregoing ordinance was introduced at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of San Joaquin held on August 1, 2023, and was passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on September 5, 2023, by the following vote:

62 STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL
July 26, 2023
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Elizabeth Cabrera, City Manager
SUBJECT: Approving Resolution 2023-32 adopting job description and salary schedule for newly created position of Community Service Officer to render Code Enforcement Services and Resolution 2023-33 authorizing the number of employee positions and titles
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution 2023-32 approving the job description for newly created position of Community Service Officer salary schedule and Resolution 2023-33 authorizing the number of employee positions and titles and rescinding prior resolutions.
Executive Summary
The Community Service Officer position would be a part-time position of up to 29 hours per week. This would be an increase of up to 21 hours per week from the current 8hrs/week being rendered by the contracted firm CSG. This position would have no financial impact on the budget as Public Safety Grant funds would be used to pay for the position in lieu of paying for CSG services for code enforcement.
Creating a Community Service Officer position would allow us to increase code enforcement services for up to 29 hours a week at a lower cost than currently paying for the CSG contract for providing 32 hours per month. There is a projected cost saving of $10,000 per year by creating an in-house part-time position to conduct Code Enforcement Services.
Background
In March 2022 the Council directed staff to seek out a private company to provide Code Enforcement Services. Staff prepared an RFP and sent it to various firms around the region, as well as to any partners that could pass the RFP along to any interested parties.
CSG was retained and agreement was a term of 3 years but can be cancelled by the City for any reason with a 30-day notice. CSG would be able to cancel with a 60-day notice. Based on the funds allocated from Public Safety, staff estimated approximately 30 hours of Code Enforcement work per month.
CSG has been rendering code enforcement services since March 2022 and although there has been education that has taken place and improvements throughout the community there still exists a great need for additional code enforcement services. Increasing the CSG contract would be cost prohibitive considering one-time grant funds are being utilized to fund the services. 63 RESOLUTION NO. 2023-32

CITY OF SAN JOAQUIN APPROVING THE JOB DESCRIPTION FOR NEWLYCREATED POSITION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER AND RELATED
SALARY SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Joaquin is authorized and empowered to make decisions that preserve the health and safety of the community; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Joaquin is interested in providing Code Enforcement solutions to protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the community; and WHEREAS, City staff has put forth a proposal to add a grant-funded part-time position that would be dedicated to Code Enforcement and other limited assignments; and WHEREAS, an in-house position brings administrative and intangible benefits that complement the work of community members, staff, and the City council; and WHEREAS, pursuant to CalPERS and CCR 570.5 guidelines, the City Council must approve and adopt adjustments made to the salary schedule including when the City creates a position.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Joaquin resolves as follows:
1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by reference.
2. The Council approves the creation of the Community Service Officer position.
3. The Council approves (i) the job description for the Community Service Officer position as set forth in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference, and (ii) the salary schedule for the position which is attached as Exhibit B.
