1. HYDROSTOR HS180 CHAMBERS SHALL BE DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM F2787 AND SHALL CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF ASTM D2418. HS180 CHAMBERS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S LATEST INSTALLATION GUIDELINES.
2. SUBGRADE: TRENCH BOTTOMS WITH UNSTABLE OR UNYIELDING MATERIAL SHALL BE EXCAVATED TO A DEPTH DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER AND REPLACED WITH SUITABLE MATERIAL. FOR UNSTABLE MATERIALS, THE DESIGN ENGINEER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING SUBGRADE SUITABILITY.
3. FOUNDATION STONE: SUITABLE MATERIAL SHALL BE A 3/4 - 2 INCH (19 - 51 mm), WASHED, CRUSHED ANGULAR STONE, OR AASHTO M43 SIZES (3, 357, 4, 467, 5, 56, 57) WITH WASHED, CRUSHED, ANGULAR STONE ADDED TO THE GRADATION, e.g., WASHED, CRUSHED, ANGULAR #3(AASHTO M43) STONE. MINIMUM FOUNDATION STONE THICKNESS TO BE DETERMINED BY DESIGN ENGINEER. MINIMUM OF 6" (150 mm) RECOMMENDED. REFER TO PRINSCO DESIGN MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE.
4. EMBEDMENT BACKFILL: SUITABLE MATERIAL SHALL BE A 3/4 - 2 INCH (19 - 51 mm), WASHED, CRUSHED ANGULAR STONE, OR AASHTO M43 SIZES (3, 357, 4, 467, 5, 56, 57) WITH WASHED, CRUSHED, ANGULAR STONE ADDED TO THE GRADATION, e.g., WASHED, CRUSHED, ANGULAR #3(AASHTO M43) STONE. EMBEDMENT BACKFILL SHALL EXTEND FROM TOP OF BEDDING TO NOT LESS THAN 6" (150 mm) INCHES ABOVE THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER. NO COMPACTION IS REQUIRED BUT AN EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO HAND KNIFE STONE IN BETWEEN ALL CORRUGATIONS.
5. INITIAL BACKFILL: SUITABLE MATERIAL SHALL BE A GRANULAR, WELL GRADED SOIL WITH LESS THAN 35% FINES OR AASHTO M43 SIZES (3, 357, 4, 467, 5, 56, 57, 6, 67, 68, 7, 78, 8, 89, 9, 10). MOST PAVEMENT SUBBASE MATERIALS FALL WITHIN THIS GRADING CRITERIA. INITIAL BACKFILLSHALL EXTEND FROM TOP OF EMBEDMENT BACKFILL TO NOT LESS THAN 18 INCHES (450 mm) ABOVE THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER. COMPACT TO A MINIMUM OF 95% STANDARD PROCTOR DENSITY.
6. FINAL BACKFILL: SUITABLE MATERIALS SHALL BE ANY SOIL DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER. FINAL BACKFILL SHALL EXTEND FROM TOP OF INITIAL BACKFILL TO NO MORE THAN 8 FEET (2.44 m) ABOVE THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER. COMPACTION LEVELS SHOULD FOLLOW ENGINEERSRECOMMENDATIONS.
7. MINIMUM COVER: FOR TRAFFIC APPLICATIONS A MINIMUM COVER OF 18 INCHES (450 mm) IS REQUIRED, MEASURED FROM THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT. FOR UNPAVED INSTALLATIONS WHERE RUTTING MAY OCCUR, INCREASE COVER TO 24 INCHES (600 mm). ADDITIONAL COVER MAY BE REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION LOADS.
8. MAXIMUM COVER: A COVER HEIGHT OF OVER 8 FEET (2.44 m) IS NOT RECOMMENDED. COVER HEIGHT IS MEASURED FROM THE TOP OF THE
CHAMBER TO THE TOP OF THE PAVEMENT
9. LOAD RATING: HS180 CHAMBERS ARE TRAFFIC RATED FOR H-20 VEHICLES WITH ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATION FOR LANE LOADING, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS HL-93 LOAD RATING (AASHTO DESIGN TRUCK).
10. INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE: INSPECTION OF THE SYSTEM SHOULD OCCUR BIANNUALLY TO ENSURE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SEDIMENT OR DEBRIS HAVE NOT BEEN DEPOSITED IN THE SEDIMENT ROW. DURING THE FIRST YEAR, INSPECTION SHOULD OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY DUE TO CONSTRUCTION SEDIMENT LOADING. TO CLEAN THE SYSTEM, A JET/VAC PROCESS CAN BE USED TO REMOVE SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS FROMTHE SEDIMENT ROW. FOR MORE INFORMATION, REFER TO PRINSCO'S "RETENTION/DETENTION CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" TECHNICAL NOTE.
11. ACCESS PIPE: PRINSCO RECOMMENDS A 24 INCH (600 mm) DIAMETER ACCESS PIPE TO THE SEDIMENT ROW. A 24 INCH (600 mm) INTERNAL SLEEVE ADAPTER (PART # HS180A-24) WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONNECT TO HS180 END CAPS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SALES REPRESENTATIVE WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

Project Location
The project site is on a one 1.35-acre parcel (APN 023-102-15) located on the north side of Scotts Valley Drive between Tabor Drive and Bethany Drive.
Project Description
The project would demolish the two existing one- and two-story commercial buildings (totaling 12,200 sf). The site, known as Bethany Park, was previously the support offices for Bethany University. The property was sold to Heritage Real Estate Ventures, LLC when Bethany University was redeveloped as the 1440 Multiversity Campus.
The proposed 125 Bethany project (the project) is a mixed-use three-story commercial redevelopment which consists of one 52,822 gross square feet (sf) building. This building would include 10,465 net square feet of professional and administrative office space, and 42,357 net square feet of storage for up to 227 user spaces. The first and second floors of the building will be bifurcated by a drive aisle that allows vehicles to park for loading and unloading. The third floor will be continuous over the drive aisle. There will be three office spaces on the first floor, six office spaces on the second floor and six office spaces on the third floor. The project would provide 54 parking spaces located on the north and south extents of the project site, and along a central corridor which would also include loading spaces.

Project Description
Note: Subsequent to the preparation of this Initial Study, the project plans were modified to accommodate additional parking and increase the setback on the north side of the project, adjacent to two single-family residential units. This change reduced the total square footage from 66,204 gross square feet(sf.) to 52,822 sf. The project description reflects this change, but the environmental analysis assumed the previous larger project. Because the project as now proposed would be the same uses but smaller, it was assumed that all impacts would be the same or less.

The project would demolish the two existing one- and two-story commercial buildings (totaling 12,200 sf). The site, known as Bethany Park, was previously the support offices for Bethany University. The property was sold to Heritage Real Estate Ventures, LLC when Bethany University was redeveloped as the 1440 Multiversity Campus.
As shown in Figure 3: Site Plan, the proposed 125 Bethany project (the project) is a mixed-use three-story commercial redevelopment which consists of one 52,822 gross sf. building. This building would include 10,465 net sf. of professional and administrative office space, and 42,357net sf. of storage for up to 227 user spaces. The first and second floors of the building will be bifurcated by a drive aisle that allows vehicles to park for loading and unloading. The third floor will be continuous over the drive aisle. There will be three office spaces on the first floor, six office spaces on the second floor and six office spaces on the third floor. The project would provide 54 parking spaces located on the north and south extents of the project site, and along a central corridor which would also include loading spaces.
As shown in Figure 4: Building Elevations, the exterior building materials would include vertical “board and batten” metal siding, low clear glass windows in white vinyl frames, veneer stone, single composite siding, wood soffit details, roll-up steel doors, and standing seam metal roofs.
The project would include sustainable features including energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, energy efficient windows, and water-conserving fixtures such as low-flow toilets and drought-resistant landscaping.
As shown in Figure 3: Site Plan, access to the project site would be from three driveways on Tabor Drive and two driveways on Bethany Drive.
As shown in Figure 5: Landscaping Plan, a majority of the existing landscaping would be removed and replaced with a variety of trees, shrubs and perennials, and groundcovers and grasses. Trees along the perimeter of Bethany Drive and Tabor Drive would include Chinese pistache and Coast live oaks.
As shown in Figure 6: Lighting Plan, 19 pole-mounted light fixtures, 15 feet in height, would be installed on the project site. These LED fixtures would be directed downward to limit lighting entirely within the project site.
As shown in Figure 7: Grading Plan, grading for the project would require a cut of 770 cubic yards of soil, and fill of 1,980 cubic yards, for a net import of 1,210 cubic yards.
As shown in Figure 8: Drainage Plan, four drainage management areas (DMAs) would be created to treat 42,045 sf. of net impervious area. Storm drainage from constructed impervious surfaces (e.g., roofs, driveways) would be conveyed via curbs and gutter to channelized surface flow and direct runoff onto vegetated areas or via collector storm drainpipes to an underground stormwater storage and infiltration chamber(s).

Discussion
Scenic Vista
The project site contains an existing one- and two-story office building. Surrounding buildings include an elementary school to the west, residential to the south, and Highway 17 to the south Kimley>>> Horn

and east. The project site is relatively flat and would not block any scenic vista nor substantially change an important view from a scenic vantage point, and therefore there would be no impact.
Scenic Resources and Visual Character
The project site is not located along a state scenic highway or designated scenic corridor. Per the 1994 General Plan Figure OS-1 Viewsheds and Scenic Corridors, Highway 17 viewing south adjacent to the project site is considered an “Important Vista” as the views affords a longdistance view of the valley character of Scotts Valley. The project would not impede or otherwise cause a distraction to this view as it is set back away from the highway to the west.
Although the project would represent a visual change from the existing conditions, it would be consistent with the type of development that currently exists in the area and is consistent with the policies related to visual resources in the General Plan.
The project site is zoned C-P Professional Commercial. As described in Chapter 17.20 of the Scotts Valley Municipal Code, the maximum building height is 35 feet. Per the project plans, the maximum building height would be 34 feet nine inches, consistent with City regulations.
Because there are no scenic resources and the visual character would not be substantially altered and would not conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality, impacts would be less than significant.
Light and Glare
Existing ambient sources of nighttime lighting include lighting of building exteriors and architectural accents, illumination through windows, landscape lighting, street lighting, parking lot lighting, and vehicle headlights. The project would include outdoor lighting typical of a residential development.
As shown in Figure 6: Lighting Plan, the project design incorporates 19 pole-mounted (15 feet high) low-level LED lighting fixtures that would minimize lighting spill effects on adjacent properties. Furthermore, as a condition of approval, the project applicant would be required to utilize downward-directed fixtures on building exteriors with concealed light sources.
Consistent with City building regulations, lighting will need to be controlled for security, aesthetics, safety, and identification without interfering with adjacent land uses.
Implementation of these Standard Conditions of Approval would reduce potential off-site light impacts to a less than significant level.
Findings
The project would not affect a scenic vista or scenic resource, would not change the visual character of the project area, and therefore there would be no impact. The project would not result in a substantial change to light and glare and therefore impacts would be less than significant. No mitigation is required.

Discussion
Air Quality Plan and Air Quality Standards
The project site is located within the North Central Coast Air Basin (NCCAB), which includes Monterey County, San Benito County, and Santa Cruz County, comprising an area of approximately 5,159 square miles along the central California coast. The Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) is responsible for local control and monitoring of criteria air pollutants throughout the NCCAB.
MBARD has developed the 2012 Air Quality Management Plan for the Monterey Bay Region (2012 AQMP) The 2012 AQMP is a transitional plan shifting focus of MBARD’s efforts from achieving the 1-hour component of the State ozone AAQS to achieving the 8-hour ozone requirement. The Plan includes an updated air quality trends analysis, which reflects both the 1- and 8-hour standards, as well as an updated emission inventory, which includes the latest information on stationary, area and mobile emission sources.
In March 2017, MBARD adopted the 2012-2015 Triennial Plan Revision, which assesses and updates elements of the 2012 AQMP, including the air quality trends analysis, emission inventory, and mobile source programs. The 2017 AQMP Revision only addresses attainment of the State ozone standard. In 2012, EPA designated the NCCAB as in attainment of the current national 8-hour ozone standard of 0.075 ppm1.
The following MBARD rules would limit emissions of air pollutants from construction and operation of residential development pursuant to the project:
Rule 400 (Visible Emissions) – Discharge of visible air pollutant emissions into the atmosphere from any emission source for a period or periods aggregating more than three minutes in any one hour, as observed using an appropriate test method, is prohibited.
Rule 402 (Nuisances) - No person shall discharge from any source whatsoever such quantities of air contaminants or other materials which cause injury, detriment, nuisance, or annoyance to any considerable number of persons or to the public; or which endanger the comfort, repose, health, or safety of any such persons or the public; or which cause, or have a natural tendency to cause, injury or damage to business or property.
Rule 425 (Use of Cutback Asphalt) – The use of cutback asphalt (asphalt cement that has been blended with petroleum solvents) is restricted.
1 On October 1, 2015, U.S. EPA adopted a new 8-hour ozone standard of 0.070 ppm. However, U.S. EPA has not yet reviewed recent NCCAB emissions to determine attainment with the current 0.070 ppm standard. Therefore, this attainment status is based upon U.S. EPA’s prior 0.075 ppm standard.
Kimley>>> Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 9
7/17/23
Rule 426 (Architectural Coatings) – This rule limits the emissions of ROGs from the use of architectural coatings.
The MBARD’s 2008 CEQA Air Quality Guidelines provides criteria for determining cumulative impacts and consistency. The CEQA Air Quality Guidelines note that a project which is inconsistent with an Air Quality Plan would have a significant cumulative impact on regional air quality. Any emissions sources that would be generated as part of the project would be subject to the MBARD rules and regulations. The proposed development (the point source) does not include any processes or activities that would emit significant air pollutants. The proposed use would not conflict with the AQMP for the Monterey Bay Region and would not make a considerable contribution to this existing, cumulatively significant ozone impact. Impacts would be less than significant.
Construction
MBARD CEQA Guidelines state that construction activities (e.g., excavation, grading, on-site vehicles) that emit 82 pounds per day or more of PM10 would have a significant impact on local air quality when they are located nearby and upwind of sensitive receptors. Based on this emissions threshold, construction activity occurring on more than 2.2 acres per day may result in significant PM10 emissions (MBARD, 2015). Because development of the project would not result construction activity occurring on more than 2.2 acres per day, impacts would be less than significant.
Furthermore, Standard Conditions of Approval require that development projects reduce dust generation from project grading and construction to minimal levels, the project proponent shall require the grading contractor to implement best management practices (BMPs) for dust control, including watering down exposed earth surfaces each non-rainfall day at intervals that attenuate dust problems. Any dirt tracked on to adjacent roadways shall be removed daily in a manner that does not create substantial airborne dust. Standard conditions of project approval would require the project applicant to implement the following BMPs for the project during site grading:
Limit grading to 8.1 acres per day, and grading and excavation to 2.2 acres per day. Water graded/excavated areas and active unpaved roadways, unpaved staging areas, and unpaved parking areas at least twice daily or apply non‐toxic chemical soil stabilization materials per manufacturer’s recommendations. Frequency should be based on the type of operations, soil and wind exposure. Prohibit all grading activities during periods of high wind (more than 15 mph). Apply chemical soil stabilizers on inactive construction areas (disturbed lands within construction projects that are unused for at least four consecutive days). All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation shall be stabilized using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or gravel for temporary roads and any other methods approved in advance by MBARD.
Kimley>>>Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 10
7/17/23
Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked for durations longer than 1 month after initial grading shall be sown with a fast germinating, non‐invasive grass seed and watered until vegetation is established.
Plant vegetative ground cover in disturbed areas as soon as possible. Use street sweepers, water trucks, or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the project site. Reclaimed (non‐potable) water should be used whenever possible;
Spray dirt stockpile areas daily as needed.
Place gravel on all roadways and driveways as soon as possible after grading. In addition, construct building pads as soon as possible after grading unless seeding, soil binders, or frequent water application are used.
Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site.
All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials shall be covered or shall maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with California Vehicle Code Section 23114. Unpaved road travel shall be limited to the extent possible, for example, by limiting the travel to and from unpaved areas, by coordinating movement between work areas rather than to central staging areas, and by busing workers where feasible. Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the project site and inspect vehicle tires to ensure they are free of soil prior to carry‐out to paved roadways.
Sweep streets at the end of each day, or as needed, if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water shall be used where feasible.
Operational
The project would result in new long-term operational emissions from mobile sources (burning of fossil fuels in cars); energy sources (cooling, heating, and cooking); and area sources (landscape equipment and household products). Mobile source emissions constitute most operational emissions from this type of development project. However, emissions associated with operation of the project are not expected to exceed any applicable MBARD thresholds.
Therefore, the project would not generate a significant level of operational emissions and impacts would be less than significant.
Sensitive Receptors
Sensitive receptors in the vicinity include single-family residential located to the north and an elementary school to the west.

Construction equipment and associated heavy-duty truck traffic generates diesel exhaust which is a known toxic air containment (TAC). The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has identified diesel exhaust particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant, and assessment of toxic air contaminant cancer risks is typically based upon a 70‐year exposure period. Project grading and construction activities that would utilize diesel‐powered equipment would expose receptors to possible diesel exhaust for a very limited number of days (approximately 10 days). Because exposure to diesel exhaust would be well below the 70‐year exposure period and given the limited and short‐term duration of activities that would use diesel equipment, construction‐ related diesel emissions are not considered significant.
Furthermore, the State is implementing emission standards for different classes of on‐ and off‐ road diesel vehicles and equipment that applies to off‐road diesel fleets and includes measures such as retrofits. Additionally, Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations (section 2485(c)(1)) prohibits idling of a diesel engine for more than five minutes in any location.
Therefore, the project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Potential exposure of sensitive receptors to diesel emissions and associated risks is considered a less‐than‐significant impact, and no mitigation measures are required.
Additionally, Standard Conditions of Approval require that prior to issuance of a grading permit, the Director of Public Works and the Building Official shall confirm that the grading permit and specifications stipulate that all off‐road construction vehicles/equipment comply with the California Air Resources Board’s In‐Use Off‐Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation.
Odors
During construction activities, temporary odors from vehicles exhaust and construction equipment engine would occur. However, construction-related odors would be short-term and would cease upon completion. Therefore, no objectionable odors are anticipated from construction activities associated with the project and there would be no impact.
Land uses typically producing objectionable odors include agricultural uses, wastewater treatment plants, food processing plants, chemical plants, composting, refineries, landfills, dairies, and fiberglass molding. The project does not include any uses that would be associated with objectionable odors. Odor emissions from the project would be limited to odors associated with vehicle and engine exhaust and idling cars. The project does not include any known sources of objectionable odors associated with the long-term operational use and therefore there would be no impact.
Findings
A significant air quality impact is defined as any violation of an ambient air quality standard, any substantial contribution to an existing or projected air quality violation, or any exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. As discussed above, the MBARD thresholds of significance have not been exceeded. Therefore, there would be no significant air Kimley>>>Horn

Discussion
The project site is developed and contains buildings, parking lots, areas with tuff, and a variety of trees, shrubs and ground covers.
Sensitive Natural Communities, Special Status Species, and Wildlife Corridors and Nursery Sites
The project site is a developed site that is urban in character and does not contain any sensitive natural communities, or Special Status plant or animal species. As an urban infill site, the project would not impede the movement of native wildlife nursery sites or migratory wildlife corridors. As such, the project would have no impact and no mitigation is required.
State and Federal Regulated Waterways and Federal Wetlands Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act protects wetland habitats that are classified as federal “jurisdictional wetlands”. Section 1600 et seq. of the California Fish and Game Code also protects wetland habitats and requires a Streambed Alteration Agreement to be obtained from the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) for the alteration of most wetlands.
Because there are no jurisdictional waters, or other types of wetlands on the project site, the project would have no impact and no mitigation is required.
Conflict with Local Polices, HCP or NCCP, or Other Conservation Plan Per SVMC Section 17.44.080(E)(4), tree removal request shall be included as part of the development application, including an arborist's report, and shall be approved by the Planning Commission or City Council.

trees, trees that contribute to the overall aesthetic quality of an area, and to preserve significantly sized trees that are important to the overall landscape of an area.
As described in the Arborist Report (see Appendix A), a total of 45 trees were surveyed on the project site. Of these 18 are protected and 27 are not protected. The dominant species and most of the “protected” trees were liquidambar, (Liquidambar styraciflua). Other frequently planted species include olive (Olea europaea) and purple-leaf plum, (Prunus cerasifera). Two London plane trees, (Platanus x hispanica), are the largest specimens on the property. Two trees on an adjacent property, one Japanese maple, (Acer palmatum), and one purple-leaf plum were also surveyed.
Most of the trees were identified as being in good or fair condition. Only one tree was found in poor condition, a severely drought stressed European white birch (Betula pendula).
Management of trees on the property was good except for the purple-leaf plums and a group of evergreen pear (Pyrus kawakamii) trees. These trees had been topped at 10 feet above grade and the resulting re-growth was identified as being poorly attached.
The project would remove 13 protected trees (10 liquidambar and three olive). As shown in Figure 7: Landscape Plan, new trees will be installed at a recommended tree replacement to compensate for their removal at a minimum 2:1 tree replacement using 15-gallon or 24-inch box size trees. This recommendation is consistent with City regulations, as described above.
Standard conditions of project approval require the project applicant to implement all measures contained within the Arborist Report for the protection of existing trees to remain, including but not limited to the required procedures and sequence, required tree replacement, tree preservation and protection, and appraised value of preserved trees in the report.
Furthermore, no known habitat conservation plans are in effect for this project site. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local policies or applicable HCP’s and there would be no impact.
Findings
The project would comply with the City’s Standard Conditions of Approval wherein protected tree removals are compensated at a minimum of 2:1 ratio consistent with the City’s Tree Protection Regulations (17.44.080).

Discussion
Cultural Resources Evaluation was prepared for the project site by Archaeological Resource Management (ARM) in June 2021 (see Appendix B). The analysis below is based on a peer review and findings as described in this report.
Cultural Resources
On July 14, 2023, the City sent notifications to the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Mission San Juan Bautista, the Costanoan Ohlone Rumsen-Mutsen Tribe, the Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan, the Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe of the SF Bay Area, and the Wuksache Indian Tribe/Eshom Valley Band. Any comments received will be considered and, if necessary, this Initial Study amended accordingly prior to CEQA certification by the City of Scotts Valley
The project site and immediate area are mapped within a High And Moderate Sensitivity Zone based on information available in the early 1990s and as shown in the City’s 1994 General Plan Figure OS Archaeological Sensitivity Zones. Research over the past 30 years suggests a low or low-moderate sensitivity for the project site and vicinity based on completed and ongoing development and the lack of significant reported discoveries.
The archival research by ARM revealed that one informally recorded archaeological resource, P2, is located within or adjacent to the project area. This consisted of three chert flakes noted as Kimley>>> Horn

part of a broad archaeological survey which included the proposed project area within its scope, S-3913. Three additional previously recorded resources are located within a one-quarter mile radius of the proposed project area: CA-SCR-238, CA-SCR-239, and P-44-402.
No significant cultural materials, prehistoric or historic, were noted during surface reconnaissance; however; surface visibility was limited due to existing structures, hardtop surfaces, and landscaping materials. In addition, the proposed project area is located in close proximity to Carbonera Creek, a watercourse along which prehistoric sites have been encountered in the past. Therefore, ARM recommended that archaeological monitoring be carried out during earth moving activities.
Human Remains
No known human remains are located on the project site. Pursuant to section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code, if human remains are discovered, there shall be no further excavation or disturbance of the discovery site, or any nearby area reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent human remains until the project applicant has complied with the provisions of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(e).
Findings
As discussed above, the project site is located within areas of moderate and high archaeological sensitivity. Implementation of the following City Standard Conditions of Approval would reduce this impact to less than significant.
1. The project applicant shall ensure that notes on any plans that require ground disturbing excavation that there is a potential for exposing buried cultural resources including prehistoric Native American burials.
2. The project applicant shall retain a Professional Archaeologist on an “on-call” basis during ground disturbing construction to review, identify and evaluate any potential cultural resources that may be inadvertently exposed during construction. The archaeologist shall review and evaluate any discoveries to determine if they are historical resource(s) and/or unique archaeological resources under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
3. If the Professional Archaeologist determines that any cultural resources exposed during construction constitute a historical resource and/or unique archaeological resource or tribal cultural resource under CEQA, he/she shall notify the City of Scotts Valley and other appropriate parties of the evaluation and recommend mitigation measures to mitigate to a less-than significant impact in accordance with California Public Resources Code Section 15064.5. Mitigation measures may include avoidance, preservation inplace, recordation, additional archaeological testing and data recovery among other options.
4. The completion of a formal Archaeological Monitoring Plan (AMP) and/or Archaeological Treatment Plan (ATP) that may include data recovery may be recommended by the Kimley>>>Horn

The project would also be required to be built according to City and State energy efficiency standards. The project would be required to comply with existing regulations, including applicable measures from the City’s General Plan. Vehicle trips and energy consumption would be less carbon intensive as compared to historic levels due to statewide compliance with future low carbon fuel standard amendments and increasingly stringent Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Discussion
A geotechnical investigation was prepared for the project site by Rock Solid Engineering (RSE), dated February 9, 2021 (see Appendix D). The analysis below is based on a peer review and findings as described in this report.
Based on their review of the Geologic Map of Santa Cruz County, California (Reference 3), the site is mapped as Santa Cruz Mudstone (Tsc) and Purisima Formation (Tp). Purisima Formation deposits are described as very thick bedded yellowish-gray tuffaceous and diatomaceous siltstone containing thick interbeds of bluish-gray, semi-friable, fine-grained andesitic sandstone. The results of field exploration by RSE indicate that the subsurface soils present are consistent with the Purisima Formation. Perched groundwater was only encountered in Boring B-8 at 17 feet below existing grade.
The site is located within a seismically active area but is outside an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Rupture Zone as delineated by the State of California. The site is not located within a liquefaction hazard zone as delineated by Santa Cruz County GIS.
The entire Central Coast Area is considered to be an active seismic region due to the presence of several active faults. Three northwest-trending major earthquake faults that are responsible Kimley>>> Horn

for the majority of the movement on the San Andreas fault system extend through the San Francisco Bay Area. They include the San Andreas fault, the Calaveras fault and the Hayward fault, which are respectively located approximately 5.9 miles, 23.6 miles, and 28.3 miles to the northeast. Other faults closer to the site are the Zayante-Vergeles fault, Butano, and Sargent fault which are respectively located approximately 2.5 miles, 5.3 miles, and 6.0 miles to the northeast.
In general, RSE concluded that the project site is geotechnically suitable for the proposed project provided the recommendations contained in their Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation are incorporated in the design and implemented during site grading and foundation construction.
Earthquake Faults, Landslides, and Seismic Ground Shaking Project construction would subject the buildings and their inhabitants to periodic seismic shaking associated with the San Andreas Fault and other active faults within the Monterey Bay area. As part of the building permit application submitted to the City of Scotts Valley, the project applicant would be required to submit plans that comply with the latest California Building Code (CBC) standards consistent with Title 15 – Buildings and Construction of the Scotts Valley Municipal Code.
Prior to approval of any entitlements, City staff will review project plans and verify that the CBC Seismic requirements are printed on the plans. Building Division staff shall verify that CBC standards are met prior to issuance of Building Permits. Building inspectors shall conduct site inspections to assure that construction occurs consistent with approved plans.
The Scotts Valley 1994 General Plan, Figure S3 ("Liquefaction Potential") indicates that the project site is located in an area with a Moderate Potential for Liquefaction. However, based on RSE’s and our review of Geology and Liquefaction Potential of Quaternary Deposits in Santa Cruz County, California (Reference 8), the site is not mapped in an area of potential liquefaction. Their observations confirmed that the potential for liquefaction, lateral spreading, and differential compaction to occur is considered low due to the presence of relatively dense soils and the lack of a continuous shallow groundwater table.
Figure S-4 ("Landslide Deposits") indicates that the site is not in an area containing landslide deposits. Figure S-5 ("Slopes") indicates that the project site is not located within any mapped geological hazard areas. In addition, the subject site slopes only gently, therefore, the potential for landsliding to occur across the site and cause damage to structures is considered low.
Per the earthquake hazard zones defined by the Alquist Priolo map, the risk of earthquake induced ground rupture occurring across the project site is moderately low.
Because compliance with Title 15 – Buildings and Construction of the Scotts Valley Municipal Code is required for all future projects, potential impacts associated with earthquake-related ground rupture would be less than significant and no mitigation is required.

Soil Erosion
The project would involve grading activities associated with the construction of buildings, infrastructure, and roads. Grading would largely be limited to the project site, which would limit the amount of exposed soil area that would be subject to erosion. Measures to control erosion would be incorporated into the construction specifications pursuant to the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements for construction. In addition, to comply with the NPDES requirements for construction, projects involving construction on sites that are one acre or more are required to prepare and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that specifies how the discharger would protect water quality during construction activities. Compliance with the erosion control ordinances and acquisition of the NPDES General Permit for construction activities would ensure that soil erosion impacts associated with development pursuant to the project would be less than significant.
Sewage Disposal
The project would involve disposal of wastewater through the City’s existing sanitary sewer system, and there would be no septic systems constructed as part of the project. Therefore, no impacts would occur.
Unique Geological Features and Paleontological Resources There are no known paleontological resources on the project site. However, development of the project could result in the discovery and disturbance of previously unknown or undiscovered paleontological resources. Should evidence of paleontological resources be encountered during grading and construction, adherence to City, State, and Federal historic preservation laws, regulations, and codes related to archaeological and paleontological resources would ensure the adequate protection of historic and pre-historic resources. This includes City Standard Conditions of Approval requiring compliance with these laws should paleontological resources be encountered. With implementation of existing regulations, the impact would be less than significant.
Findings
Compliance with Title 15 – Buildings and Construction of the Scotts Valley Municipal Code and NPDES requirements would reduce any potential impacts associated with geological and soil resources to a less than significant impact. Therefore, no mitigation is required.

Discussion
Construction
Construction of the project would result in direct emissions of CO2, N2O, and CH4 from the operation of construction equipment and the transport of materials. MBARD does not have a threshold for construction GHG emissions, which would be one-time, short-term emissions and therefore would not significantly contribute to long-term cumulative GHG emissions impacts of the project.
In the absence of quantitative significance thresholds in CEQA guidance, this analysis turns to other programs. For example, the CARB Mandatory Reporting program requirements are triggered for sources of GHG emissions exceeding 2,500 MTCO₂e) per year. AB 32 requires California agencies to take actions that would reduce GHG emissions by 2020 to the levels of 1990, and then substantially further reduce emissions by 2050. Most individual projects do not generate sufficient GHGs to create a project-specific impact to significantly influence climate change; therefore, this impact typically involves an analysis to determine if a project’s GHG emissions are cumulatively considerable (significant cumulative impact). Once construction is complete, the generation of construction related GHG emissions would cease. The project is not expected to exceed the CARB Mandatory Reporting applicability level of 2,500 MTCO2e per year. As a result, the short‐term emission of GHG during construction would be less than significant.
Kimley>>> Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 23
7/17/23
Operational
Operational or long-term emissions would occur over the project’s life. GHG emissions would result from direct emissions such as project generated vehicular traffic, on-site combustion of natural gas, and operation of any landscaping equipment. Operational GHG emissions would also result from indirect sources, such as off-site generation of electrical power over the life of the project, the energy required to convey water to, and wastewater from the project site, the emissions associated with solid waste generated from the project site, and any fugitive refrigerants from air conditioning or refrigerators. The project would meet CalGreen and CBC standards for energy efficiency standards including passive solar design and natural ventilation and natural lighting.
Additionally, the project would be required to install water-efficient landscape, water-reducing features, and low-impact development practices to reduce water use consistent with City and State regulations. Building construction is also required to comply with the energy efficiency standards of the California Building Code. All these factors result in a project that would not significantly contribute to a cumulative GHG impact. Thus, impacts would be less than significant.
Findings
While some GHGs would be generated as a result of development of the project, its contribution to GHGs would not be cumulatively considerable and there would not be any significant impacts associated with GHGs. Therefore, the project would result in a less than significant impact, and no mitigation is required.

Discussion
Hazardous Substances
Regarding on-site hazards, the project site is not included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. No records of the project site were found pertaining to open cases of LUSTs, toxic releases, or site cleanup requirements.
It is likely that oils, lubricants, and similar materials may be used to maintain and/or fuel construction vehicles and machinery during the construction phase of the project. Standard conditions of approval require the project applicant to have the construction contractor implement a best management practice/hazardous materials containment plan during the entire time construction activities are occurring. The hazardous materials containment plan shall contain the following elements:
Stationary equipment such as motors, pumps, welding equipment shall be placed over drip pans or other containment apparatus.
Construction materials shall not be stockpiled or stored where they could be accidentally discharged downslope or into Scotts Valley Drive. Any petroleum, lubricants or other hazardous materials used during construction shall be stored in a special storage location equipped with double containment and this location shall be shown on the erosion control plan and approved by the agencies that review this plan.
The project’s commercial use may involve use and storage of some materials that are considered hazardous, although these materials are typically limited to everyday use solvents, paints, chemicals used for cleaning and building maintenance, and landscaping supplies. These materials would not be substantially different from household chemicals and solvents already in use throughout the City. Therefore, impacts associated with hazardous substances would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
Release of Substances Near Schools
Vine Hill Elementary School is located on the west side of Tabor Drive, adjacent to the project site. However, project construction and operation would not involve the emission of hazardous materials, therefore impacts would be less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
Emergency Response
General Plan Safety Element Figure S-6 “Evacuation Routes” shows Scotts Valley Drive as a primary evacuation route in the City’s Emergency Response Plan. Construction of the project would not change the function of Scotts Valley Drive as a primary evacuation route. Therefore, the project would have no impact on emergency response.

Discussion
A Stormwater Control Plan was prepared for the project site by C2G/Civil Consultants Group, Inc. in October 2020 (see Appendix D). The analysis below is based on the findings of the prepared report.
Groundwater Demand
Due to the characteristics of the type of commercial storage use proposed, the project would use approximately the same amount of water as current commercial uses. Therefore, there would be no impact.
Kimley>>> Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 28
7/17/23
Groundwater Recharge
The project is not located in an area designated on the Scotts Valley General Plan Hydrological Resources Map, Figure OS-5, as a Potential Groundwater Recharge Area.
According to the Stormwater Control Plan, the project site contains impervious surface area associated with the buildings, sidewalks, and parking lots. Redevelopment would result in 42,045 sf. of new and replaced impervious area. To offset the potential loss of groundwater infiltration, the project would include the use of curb and gutter to channelize surface flow and direct runoff into area drains and catch basins. Area drains and catch basins would be used to collect runoff and convey it onto vegetated areas or via collector storm drainpipes to an underground stormwater storage and infiltration chamber(s) to allow retention and detention for Tier 3 and Tier 4 requirements.
This system would be designed to accommodate the relatively low infiltration rates found at this site. Therefore, there would be no impact and no mitigation is required.
Stormwater Runoff
The Stormwater Control Plan (SCP) addresses potential impacts from stormwater runoff. The SCP includes project site-specific best management practices (BMPs) to control erosion and sedimentation and maintain water quality in accordance with the current edition of the City of Scotts Valley Stormwater Technical Guide. The BMPs address the construction and maintenance of storm drain inlets, irrigation and use of pesticides, maintenance of hardscapes, and maintenance of underground stormwater facilities.
Furthermore, Standard Conditions of Approval require the project applicant and construction contractor to implement best management practices to prevent sedimentation and discharge of contaminants off-site during project construction, including hazardous materials containment plan during the entire time construction activities are occurring. The hazardous materials containment plan shall contain the following elements:
Stationary equipment such as motors, pumps, welding equipment shall be placed over drip pans or other containment apparatus.
Construction materials shall not be stockpiled or stored where they could be accidentally discharged downslope or into Scotts Valley Drive. Any petroleum, lubricants or other hazardous materials used during construction shall be stored in a special storage location equipped with double containment and this location shall be shown on the erosion control plan and approved by the agencies that review this plan.
Implementation of recommendations as described in the SCP and preparation of a SWPPP for review and approval prior to construction activities would ensure that impacts from stormwater runoff would be less than significant.

Floodplains, Seiche, Tsunami and Mudflow Related Hazards The property is not located within a floodplain. There is no possibility of a seiche or tsunami occurring that could affect the project. The project is not located on or near a lake or ocean coastline. Therefore, the project would have no impacts.
Findings
Implementation of recommendations as described in the SCP and preparation of a SWPPP would reduce impacts on hydrology and water resources to a level of less than significant.
Therefore, no mitigation is required.

Discussion
Surrounding land uses include an elementary school to the west, residential to the south, and Highway 17 to the south and east. No community or neighborhood would be physically divided by the project.
The proposed project includes a General Plan amendment from Commercial Professional to Light Industrial, and a Zone Change from C-P Professional Commercial to Light Industrial (I-L).
The Scotts Valley General Plan defines Light Industrial land uses as neither commercial/retail nor residential, but states that they may create noise, odor, dust, glare, traffic, or impacts on the aquifer and/or air quality. Planning review shall assure that activities conducted on the property do not unreasonably interfere with the character of adjoining land uses.
Kimley>>> Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 30
7/17/23
The I-L Light Industrial zoning district applies to all lands designated in the General Plan as “Light Industrial.” This land use classification accommodates industrial and industrially related land uses and provides a location for businesses that are inappropriate in commercial or residential zones because of their operations or size; and because they may create noise, odor, dust or glare and create impacts to traffic, the aquifer or air quality. Uses in this classification shall not encroach upon the character of adjoining land uses and will not expose adjoining uses to hazardous conditions. SVMC Section 17.26.030 allows ministorage as a conditional use, with approval of a Conditional Use permit.
The project will also include approval of a Planned Development (PD) in conjunction with the Zone Change. PD districts must be combined with base zoning districts and are individually designed to meet the needs of the property. Development of the property can only occur pursuant to a PD permit issued in strict conformity with the general development plan, or with the underlying base district. The general development plan must be adopted as part of the PD and includes detailed specifications such as permitted land uses and sizes, landscape areas and open space, dimensioned streets and driveways (both public and private), use standards, and other development standards.
Findings
Concurrent with City Council approval, the project would be consistent with the amended General Plan land use and zoning designations for the project site. Any potential conflicts with the development standards—such as maximum height, setback, or other requirements—would be resolved through the Planned Development (Zoning) Overlay and Permits (PD) general development plan approval process. The project would have no impact and therefore no mitigation is required.

Discussion
A Noise Assessment Study (NAS) was prepared by Edward L. Pack Associates Inc., dated June 25, 2021 (see Appendix E). The analysis below is based on a peer review and findings as described in this report.
The noise exposures and noise levels presented in the NAS were evaluated against the standards of the City of Scotts Valley General Plan Noise Element, the City of Scotts Valley Municipal Code, and the State of California CalGreen Non-Residential Mandatory Measures.
The analysis of the on-site sound level measurements indicates that the existing noise environment is due primarily to vehicular traffic sources on Highway 17. Traffic on Bethany Drive and Tabor Drive do not significantly affect the on-site noise environment.
Short Term Noise Levels
Construction noise typically occurs intermittently and varies depending on the nature or phase of construction (e.g., land clearing, grading, excavation, paving). Noise generated by construction equipment, including earth movers, material handlers, and portable generators, can reach high levels. During construction, exterior noise levels could affect the residential neighborhoods surrounding the construction site. Project construction would occur adjacent to existing single-family residences; however, construction activities would occur throughout the project site and would not be concentrated at a single point near sensitive receptors.
Project construction would comply with the City’s Municipal Code Section 17.46.160, which states that all construction activity shall be limited to the hours between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. on Saturday. No construction activity is allowed on Sunday. These permitted hours of construction are included in the code in recognition that construction activities undertaken during daytime hours are a typical part of living in an urban environment and do not cause a significant disruption. Construction would Kimley>>> Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 33
7/17/23
occur throughout the project site and would not be concentrated or confined in the area directly adjacent to sensory receptors. Therefore, construction noise would be acoustically dispersed throughout the project site and impacts would be less than significant.
The NAS also recommended additional measures to reduce construction noise impacts. These recommendations will be included as part of the City’s standard Conditions of Approval for the project and included as notes on the civil plan set:
Operational and Situational Controls
Schedule construction operations that comply with the limits of the City of Scotts Valley Municipal Code.
Construction Hours = Per City Requirements, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM Monday-Friday, and 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Saturdays. No work is permitted on Sundays. Minimize material movement along the west and north sides of the site. Locate stockpiles adjacent to residential neighbors and along Tabor Drive as much as possible to help shield residences and Vine Hill Elementary School from on-site noise generation.
Keep mobile equipment (haul trucks, concrete trucks, etc.) off of local streets near residences as much as possible.
Utilize temporary power service from the utility company in lieu of generators wherever possible.
Keep vehicle paths graded smooth as rough roads and paths can cause significant noise and vibration from trucks (particularly empty trucks) rolling over rough surfaces. Loud bangs and ground-borne vibration can occur.
All work within 10 ft. of the property lines common with residential uses or noise sensitive uses should be performed by hand.
Interior Works
For interior work, the windows of the interior spaces facing neighboring residences where work is being performed shall be kept closed while work is proceeding. Noise generating equipment indoors should be located within the building to utilize building elements as noise screens.
Equipment
Use the lowest vibration inducing equipment when within the distance limits shown in Table V. Small grading and earth moving equipment, such as “Bobcat” size equipment should be used.
Place long-term stationary equipment as far away from the residential and school areas as possible.
Kimley>>> Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 34
7/17/23
Circular saws, miter or chop saws and radial arm saws shall be used no closer than 50 ft. from any residential property line unless the saw is screened from view by any and all residences using an air-tight screen material of at least 2.0 lbs./sq. ft. surface weight, such as ¾” plywood.
Music shall not be audible off site.
Earth Removal: Use scrapers as much as possible for earth removal, rather than the noisier loaders and hauling trucks.
Building Construction: Power saws should be shielded or enclosed where practical to decrease noise emissions. Nail guns should be used where possible as they are less noisy than manual hammering.
Generators and Compressors: Use generators and compressor that are housed in acoustical enclosures rather than weather enclosures or none at all. Backfilling: Use a backhoe for backfilling, as it is less costly and quieter than either dozers or loaders.
Ground Preparation: Use a motor grader rather than a bulldozer for final grading.
Wheeled heavy equipment is less noisy than track equipment. Utilize wheeled equipment rather than steel track equipment whenever possible, with the exception of work within the vibration distances shown in Table V. The soil conditions at the site indicate that wheeled equipment may generate higher levels of ground vibration than tracked equipment. Small, rubber tracked equipment, such as skid steers, would produce the lowest levels of noise and vibration.
Use electrically powered tools rather than pneumatic tools whenever possible. The greatest potential for noise abatement of current equipment should be the quieting of exhaust noises by use of improved mufflers.
It is recommended that all internal combustion engines used at the project site be equipped with a type of muffler recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. All equipment should be in good mechanical condition so as to minimize noise created by faulty or poorly maintained engines, drive-trains and other components. Worn, loose or unbalanced parts or components shall be maintained or replaced to minimize noise and vibration.
Noise Compliant Management
Designate a noise complaint officer. The officer shall be available at all times during construction hours via both telephone and email. Signs shall be posted at site entries. Notify, in writing, all residents and Vine Hill Elementary School within 300 ft. of the project perimeter of construction. The notification shall contain the name, phone number and email address of the noise complaint officer. A flyer may be placed at the doors of the residences.
A log of all complaints shall be maintained. The logs shall contain the name and address of the complainant, the date and time of the complaint, the nature/description of the Kimley>>> Horn

7/17/23
noise source, a description of the remediation attempt or the reason remediation could not be attempted.
Long Term Noise Levels
To determine existing noise levels, measurements were recorded at two locations. Location 1 was near the existing front lawn/parking lot border, 150 ft. from the centerline of Highway 17.
Location 2 was along the north property line of the site, 36 ft. from the centerline of Bethany Drive. Recoded noise at Location 1 ranged from 60.7 to 68.4 dBA during the daytime and from
53.0 to 64.7 dBA at night. At measurement Location 2, the Leq’s ranged from 48.6 to 57.8 dBA during the daytime and from 43.6 to 53.1 dBA at night.
The DNL’s for the two measurement locations were calculated as a decibel average of the Leq's as they apply to the daily time periods of the DNL index. The DNL is a 24-hour noise descriptor that uses the measured Leq values to calculate a 24-hour time-weighted average noise exposure. The results of the calculations found that the noise exposure at measurement Location 1 was 67 dB DNL. The noise exposure at measurement Location 2 was 56 dB DNL.
Implementation of the project would create new sources of noise in the project vicinity from residential sources, mechanical equipment, and landscape maintenance. These noise sources would be similar to those generated throughout the City. Such noise would primarily occur during the “daytime” activity hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Furthermore, the project would be required to comply with the noise standards set forth in the City’s General Plan (NA-458) and Municipal Code. Given the nature of the proposed use, traffic generated noise would be similar to existing conditions and would be less than the traffic noise generated from Highway 17.
Therefore, there would be no impact from long-term noise levels.
Exposure to Groundborne Vibrations
The contractors used for the demolition and construction have not yet been selected, nor has a construction schedule and list of equipment been developed. The NAS analyzed potential vibration impacts based on a list of typical construction equipment, their vibration levels at 25 ft. reference distances, and the vibration levels at the building setbacks of the adjacent residential buildings to the north. The NAS determined that some equipment (e.g., vibratory roller, compactor) would generate ground-borne vibration levels exceeding the FTA’s 0.20 in/sec PPV significance threshold vibrations. Methods to reduce demolition and construction vibratory noise can be accomplished by the use of improved mufflers as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. As such, exposure to groundborne vibrations would be less than significant.
Airport or Private Airstrip Noise
The project site is not located within any airport noise impact contours and not located within the vicinity of any private air strip, and therefore there would be no impact.
Kimley>>>Horn
City of Scotts Valley 125 Bethany Drive
Initial Study | Page 36
7/17/23
Findings
The project would not expose future residential uses to short-term construction nor long-term operational noise levels in excess of City standards. Noise generated during the construction phase is temporary and would be limited to Monday-Saturday daytime hours per compliance with the City’s Municipal Code Section 17.46.160. Therefore, no mitigation is required.

Fire Services
The project site contains existing commercial uses and is located in an existing urban area that is currently served by the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District. The closest fire station is located at 251 Glenwood Drive, less than a half mile of the project site. Therefore, there would be no impact.
Police Services
The project site contains existing commercial uses. Replacement of these uses by the project would not generate a demand beyond what the police department can accommodate. The Scotts Valley Police department is located less than two miles south of the project site.
Therefore, there would be no impact.

Discussion
A Focused Transportation Study was prepared for the project site by Keith Higgins Traffic Engineer, dated December 12, 2021 (see Appendix E. The analysis below is based on the findings of prepared report.
Conflict with City Policies or Programs, Increase Hazards, Impair Emergency Access As shown in Figure 3: Site Plan, access to the project site would be from three driveways on Tabor Drive. Additionally, one exit-only driveway would be located on Bethany Drive, close to the intersection of Scotts Valley Drive. No changes to the City’s circulation network are proposed.
The design of the roadway would be consistent with City standards to ensure there is adequate emergency vehicle access. Therefore, there would be no impact.
Increase Vehicle Miles Travelled
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) is a measure of total vehicular travel that accounts for the number of vehicle trips and the length of those trips. Because the City of Scotts Valley has not formally adopted VMT significance criteria, this CEQA analysis uses guidance per the City of Scotts Valley’s Draft VMT Implementation Guidelines (Kimley-Horn and Associates, July 2020).
The VMT Implementation includes screening criteria to avoid unnecessary analysis and findings for non-significant transportation impacts. Small projects that generate less than 110 trips per day are exempt from VMT analysis. However, upon issuance of the building permit, the project would be required to pay a City traffic impact fee.
Based on the Transportation Study (see Appendix E), the project would generate an estimated 82 daily trips. Because this is less than the 110-trip threshold for small projects, the project would qualify for the screening criteria and as such is exempt from further VMT analysis.
Findings
The project would not conflict with City policies or programs regarding the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The project would not cause a hazard nor impair emergency access. The project is considered a “small project” per the City VMT Implementation Guidelines and is exempt from further analysis. Therefore, there would be no impacts to transportation and no mitigation is required.

Discussion
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has mapped the relative wildfire risk in areas of large population by intersecting residential housing density with proximate fire threat according to three risk levels, namely Moderate, High, and Very High.
Wildfires are large-scale brush and grass fires in undeveloped areas. The project is within an urbanized area and not within a Very-High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as mapped by CALFIRE.
Additionally, the project would incorporate all applicable fire safety code requirements, including fire protection devices and appropriate fire-resistant landscaping on the project site, as required by the Scotts Valley Fire District, and therefore there would be no impact.
Findings
The project would not affect emergency response/evacuation plans, would not expose residents or structures to a wildfire risk, and would not exacerbate fire risk. Therefore, the project would have no impact to wildfires, and no mitigation is required.

Discussion
As discussed in the individual sections, the project would not degrade the quality of the environment, including effects on animals or plants.
As described in the Biological Resources section, the project would comply with the City’s Standard Conditions of Approval wherein protected tree removals are compensated at a minimum of 2:1 ratio consistent with the City’s Tree Protection Regulations (17.44.080).
The project site is located within areas of moderate and high archaeological sensitivity. As described in the Cultural Resources section, the project would comply with the City’s Standard Conditions of Approval. Implementation of the City’s Standard Conditions of Approval would reduce this impact to less than significant. This includes retaining a Professional Archaeologist on an “on-call” basis during ground disturbing construction to review, identify and evaluate any potential cultural resources that may be inadvertently exposed during construction.
As described in the environmental resource sections of this Initial Study, the project would not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
The project would result in temporary air quality and noise impacts during construction. With the implementation of the identified Standard Conditions of Approval, and consistency with adopted City policies, construction impacts would be mitigated to a less than significant level.
As described above, these impacts would be temporary, and the project would not have cumulatively considerable impacts on air quality and noise impacts in the project area.
The project would have a less than significant impact or no impact on the remaining environmental resources and would not contribute to cumulative impacts to these resources.
Therefore, the project would not cause a cumulatively considerable impact and no mitigation is required.

Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X
I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that the project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
I find that the project MAY have a potentially significant or a potentially significant unless mitigated impact on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the project, nothing further is required. _________________________________ _____________________________ Susie Pineda Date

SUMMARY
This report provides the following information:
1. A summary of the health and structural condition of 45 trees.
2. An evaluation of anticipated construction impacts to the trees.
3. Recommendations for retention or removal of assessed trees based on their condition and anticipated construction impacts.
4. Tree protection specifications for retained trees.
The Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A is the condensed reference guide to inform all tree management decisions for the trees evaluated.
A commercial parcel with existing buildings will be demolished and site improvements including a mini storage complex will be constructed.
Forty-five trees within or near the parcel boundaries were inventoried. Eighteen are “protected”.
Four “protected” trees are suitable for preservation and can be incorporated in the proposed project.
Thirteen “protected” trees are recommended for removal due to anticipated high construction impacts.
One “protected” tree is in poor condition and is not suitable for retention in the project. If removals are permitted, replacement trees will be required. This is a preliminary evaluation, once final plans are completed, tree protection specifications based on the final plans will be required.
Background
Plans will be submitted to the City of Scotts Valley, to develop the two parcels into a multi-unit housing complex. Heritage Real Estate Ventures has requested my services, to assess the condition of trees on the applicant’s property and the construction impacts that may affect them.
Further, to provide a report with my findings and recommendations to meet City of Scotts Valley planning requirements.
Assignment
Provide an arborist report that includes an assessment of the trees within the project area. The assessment is to include the species, size (trunk diameter, height and canopy spread), condition (health and structure), and suitability for preservation ratings. Further, to review the preliminary development plans and assess the potential construction impacts.
To complete this assignment, the following services were performed:
Tree Resource Evaluation: Tag with metal tags, inventory, evaluate and assign suitability for preservation ratings for subject trees.
Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 2 Assignment continued:
Plan Review: Reviewed provided plans including: Civil Binder, by C2G Civil Consultants, dated 11/13/2020.
Construction Impact Assessment: Combine tree resource data with anticipated construction impacts, to provide recommendations for removal or retention of trees. Mapping: Tree locations were plotted onto: Demolition Plan, by C2G Civil Consultants, dated 2/20/2019, and a Tree Location Plan was created. Utility Plan, was base map used for Tree Protection Plan.
Limits of the Assignment
The information contained in this report covers only those items that were examined and reflects the condition of those items at the time of inspection on 5/23/2021.
The inspection is limited to visual examination of accessible items without climbing, dissection, excavation, probing, or coring. There is no warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, that problems or deficiencies of the trees in questions may not arise in the future.
Purpose and use of the report
The report is intended to identify all the trees within the plan area that could be affected by a project. The report is to be used by the developer, their agents, the City of Scotts Valley, as a reference for existing tree conditions and to help satisfy the City of Scotts Valley planning requirements.
Resources
All information within this report is based on site plans as of the date of this report. Resources are as follows:

OBSERVATIONS
The roughly 1.25-acre parcel is a developed commercial property. The corner property is bordered by streets on three sides and residential properties on the fourth side. The property gently slopes from a high point adjacent to Tabor Drive, down to Scotts Valley Drive to the south and down to Bethany Drive to the east. Several retaining walls bisect the property to create level areas for most of the property. (Image #1).
Image #1 –Project area bordered by Tabor Drive, top of image, Scotts Valley Drive, to left and Bethany Drive, bottom of image.
I surveyed 45 trees on the commercial property. The dominant species and most of the “protected” trees were liquidambar, (Liquidambar styraciflua). Other frequently planted species include olive (Olea europaea) and purple-leaf plum, (Prunus cerasifera). Two London plane trees, (Platanus x hispanica), are the largest specimens on the property. Two trees on an adjacent property, one Japanese maple, (Acer palmatum), and one purple-leaf plum were also surveyed.
Most of the trees were in good or fair condition. Only one tree was found in poor condition, a severely drought stressed European white birch (Betula pendula).
Management of trees on the property was good except for the purple-leaf plums and a group of evergreen pear (Pyrus kawakamii) trees. These trees had been topped at 10 feet above grade and the resulting re-growth is poorly attached.
Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 4 Many of the mature liquidambars are showing drought stress from chronic water deficit. The small planting areas, with limited rooting areas, are largely responsible for this condition.
The liquidambars are growing too close to paved areas. Curb and pavement damage is seen in much of the parking lot area (Image #2). This species is well known for shallow rooting and hardscape damage.
Image #2 - Tree T8, liquidambar. Note cracked and lifted curb and pavement.

Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 7 At the northern end of the property several olive trees and purple-leaf plum grow. These species second most common species surveyed on the parcel.
All are in good or fair condition (Image #6).

Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 8 The two largest specimens on the property are London plane tree (Image #7). They are in fair condition, showing minor drought stress. They have good structure and limbs are well attached.
Because they grow in a turf area, competition with the turf for available moisture is likely contributing to water deficit issues.

These trees had been topped at 10 feet above grade and the resulting re-growth is poorly attached, (Image #8).
Image #8 – Trees T21 – T24 evergreen pear. Health of the trees is fair. Trees were topped at 10’ above grade, resulting in poorly attached new growth.
Most of the liquidambar have overextended limbs and could use some targeted crown reduction pruning on the overly long limbs.
Twenty-seven “not protected” trees were surveyed. All were in good or fair condition.

Tree Evaluation and Recording Methods
Site evaluations were made on 5/23/2021. The survey included two trees on an adjacent property with canopies overhanging the project limits. The health and structural condition of each tree was assessed and recorded. Based on the trees health and structural condition, each trees suitability for preservation was rated and recorded.
The recorded data is included in the Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A, of this report. Tree numbers were plotted on the attached Tree Location Map sheet, T1. To correlate the data in the Tree Assessment Chart to the tree’s location on the site, refer to the Tree Location & Removal Plan, sheet T1 - Appendix C.

Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 12 Tree Protection Zone
The tree protection zone (TPZ), is a defined area within which certain activities are prohibited or restricted to minimize potential injury to designated trees during construction.
The size of the optimal TPZ can be determined by a formula based on 1) trunk diameter 2) species tolerance to construction impacts, and 3) tree age (Matheny, N. and Clark, J 1998). In some instances, tree drip line is used as the TPZ. Development constraints can also influence the final size of the tree protection zone.
Fencing is installed to delineate the (TPZ), and to protect tree roots, trunk, and scaffold branches from construction equipment. The fenced protection area may be smaller than the optimal or designated TPZ area in some circumstances. Tree protection may also involve the armoring of the tree trunk and/or scaffold limbs with barriers to prevent mechanical damage from construction equipment. See Tree Protection Guidelines & Restrictions – Appendix E.
Once the TPZ is delineated and fenced (prior to any site work, equipment and materials move in), construction activities are only to be permitted within the TPZ if allowed for and specified by the project arborist.
Where tree protection fencing cannot be used, or as an additional protection from heavy equipment, tree wrap may be used. Wooden slats at least one inch thick are to be bound securely, edge to edge, around the trunk. A single layer or more of orange plastic construction fencing is to be wrapped and secured around the outside of the wooden slats. Major scaffold limbs may require protection as determined by the City arborist or Project arborist. Straw wattle may also be used as a trunk wrap and secured with orange plastic fencing.
Data has been entered in the Tree Assessment Chart – Appendix A, which indicates the optimal Tree Protection Zone for each tree.
Critical Root Zone
Critical Root Zone (CRZ) is the area of soil around the trunk of a tree where roots are located that provide critical stability, uptake of water and nutrients required for a tree's survival. The CRZ is the minimum distance from the trunk that trenching that requires root cutting should occur and can be calculated as three to the five times the trunk Diameter at Breast Height (DBH). For example, if a tree is one foot in trunk diameter then the CRZ is three to five feet from the trunk location. We will often average this as four times the trunk diameter or 1ft. DBH = 4ft. CRZ (Smiley, E.T., Fraedrich, B. and Hendrickson, N. 2007).
Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 13 Root Disturbance Distance
No one can estimate and predict with absolute certainty, what distance from a tree a soil disturbance such as excavation for construction should be, to ensure it will not significantly affect tree stability or health. Or to what degree, (low, moderate or high), a tree might be impacted. There are simply too many variables involved that we cannot see or anticipate. However, three times the D.B.H. (diameter at breast height), is a widely accepted minimum used in the industry for root disturbance, on one side of the trunk, and is supported by several research studies including (Smiley, Fraedich & Hendrickson 2002, Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories). This distance is often used during the design and planning phases of a project in order to estimate root loss due to construction activities. This distance is a guideline only and should be increased for trees with significant leans, decay or other structural problems.
The ISA, International Society of Arboriculture- Root Management (2017) publication recommends, “cutting roots at a distance greater than six times the trunk diameter (DBH) minimizes the likelihood of affecting both health and stability. This recommendation is given further direction by the companion publication, A.N.S.I. (American National Standard) A300 (Part 8)- 2013 Root Management, when roots are cut in a non-selective manner, i.e. in a straight line on one side of a tree. It says, if the cutting is “within six times the trunk diameter (DBH), mitigation shall be recommended”. Further, A.N.S.I. recommends the “minimum distance from the trunk for root cutting should be adjusted according to trunk diameter, species tolerance to root loss, tree age, health and site condition”.
In general, root cutting that occurs at a distance less than six times the diameter of a tree should be undertaken by hand digging and hand (or Sawzall), root pruning. These methods help mitigate root loss impacts.
Tree Survey & Protection Plan 5/28/2021
125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 14 Impacts to Subject Trees
Construction impact assessments are based on the Site Improvements, sheet C2.1, dated 11/13/2020, and Grading and Drainage Plan, sheet 3.1, dated 2/20/2019, by C2G/Civil Consultants Group, Engineers.
Four “protected” trees will have moderate construction impacts and are suitable for incorporation into the project.
Demolition & Construction Phases Affecting Subject Trees –
1. Demolition of existing curb and parking lot.
2. Installation of curb and parking lot.
3. Installation of storm drain line.
4. Installation of sanitary sewer line.
5. Installation of fire service line.
6. Installation of pervious paver patio.
7. Installation of the new mini storage building.
During the demolition phase, the existing curb and parking lot near trees T11 and T12, will be sawcut and the asphalt removed, (Image #9). Several surface roots currently causing damage to the lot will be pruned and removed. The parking lot will be realigned and will require new excavation within 5 feet of tree T11 and 2 feet of tree T12. Both the demolition and new curb installation will result in root loss that can be tolerated by the trees if mitigation methods are used.
Image #9 – Trees T11 & T12, liquidambar. Note new curb installed adjacent to trees. Some of the new curb will be installed in the same footprint as the existing parking lot (red line is existing curb location). Existing roots will be cut behind new curb (blue line).

125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 15 Impacts to Subject Trees, Continued
New utility lines will be installed near trees T17 and T18, London plane tree (Image #10). A storm drain line will be installed within 6 feet of tree T17 and will result in root loss. A sanitary sewer line will be installed within 5 feet of tree T18, and a fire service line will be installed within 6 feet. The installation of these lines will result in root loss.
A pervious paver patio will be installed 2 feet from both London plane trees (Image #10). The installation will require a grade raise of about one foot. Subgrade material for the pavers will be compacted and some loss of smaller absorbing roots is anticipated.
The new mini storage building will be installed within 15 feet of the two London plane trees (Image #10). Depending on the height of the new building, minor canopy clearance pruning, on one or both trees may be necessary to allow for construction of the new building and to achieve clearance from it once construction is completed.
Image #10 – Trees T17 & T18, London plane tree.
The two London plane trees will be able to tolerate the amount of anticipated root loss from installation of the utility lines and pervious paver patio if mitigation methods are used. However, it is recommended that the new patio edge come no closer than five feet from the two trees, instead of the two feet currently shown on plan sheet C2.1, Site Improvements. This will prevent the grade from being too high close to the trunk, and soil being mounded against it which can create an environment for soil fungal pathogens to proliferate and potentially infect the tree. .

If site constraints allow, moving any of the utility lines even a few feet further from the two trees will reduce the amount of root loss and corresponding negative impact, and is recommended if feasible.
Since all four trees are suffering drought stress, and all will have reduced ability to uptake water due to root loss, one of the mitigation specifications will be to supply supplemental irrigation to them during the construction period.
Thirteen of the fourteen remaining “protected” trees will be highly impacted by the project and removal will be necessary.
Four trees that are not protected and can be incorporated into the project including trees T27, T28, T29, T34 and T2-A will be moderately impacted, and mitigation methods to reduce root loss impacts are recommended and shown on Tree Protection Plan, sheet T2.
Impact Level
Impact level rates the degree a tree may be impacted by construction activity and is primarily determined by how close the construction procedures occur to the tree. Construction impacts are rated as low, moderate, high. The quantity of trees assigned for each category (low, moderate, high), is indicated below:
Impact Rating to Trees - Protected

125 Bethany Drive, APN: 023-102-15, Scotts Valley Page 20 Tree Appraisal & Valuation– Protected Trees
The City of Scotts Valley requires valuation of all retained protected trees potentially affected by a construction project. The value of four trees has been appraised. References included, 1) Guide for Plant Appraisal 9th Edition, 2) Species Classification and Group Assignment, (Wester Chapter Edition).
The total appraised value is $ 23,400 The criteria for appraisal are included in the attached spreadsheet, Appendix D, Appraised Value of “Protected” Trees – Trunk Formula Method.
The owner/applicant will be required to obtain, and file with the Community Development Director, a Tree Protection security deposit prior to obtaining Building Division permits. The total value of the security deposit will be $23,400.
Summary Table - Total number of trees inventoried: 45
Number of protected trees: 18
Total appraised value of protected trees to be retained:
$23,400
Recommended security deposit: $23,400
Number of protected trees requested for removal: 14
Tree Replacement
The final number of trees could vary slightly depending on the final design. At present, fourteen (14) “protected” trees are recommended for removal, thirteen due to construction impacts and one due to poor condition.
Compensation for tree removal necessary to construct the project include:
Preservation and protection of the retained trees during construction. Pre-construction treatments for specific trees.
Tree planting specified in the landscape design for this project.
The City of Scotts Valley recommends a minimum ratio of two trees are to be replanted (15 gallon or 24-inch box size), for every “protected” tree removed. Currently, fourteen trees are recommended for removal Therefore, a total of twenty-eight replacement trees is required. The Landscape Plan, sheet L1, dated 2/20/2019 has twenty -five trees plotted. There are locations for replanting an additional three trees within the new site plan, to reach the required replanting total of twenty – eight trees. The tree replanting locations are indicated on the Tree Protection Plan, sheet T2.

CONCLUSION
The Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A is the condensed reference guide to inform all tree management decisions for the trees evaluated.
A commercial parcel with existing buildings will be demolished and site improvements including a mini storage complex will be constructed.
Forty-five trees within or near the parcel boundaries were inventoried. Eighteen are “protected”.
Four “protected” trees including T11 & T12, liquidambar and T17 & T18, London plane tree, are suitable for preservation and can be incorporated in the proposed project. Thirteen “protected” trees are recommended for removal due to anticipated high construction impacts. The highly impacted trees include trees T2, T3, T9, T10, T13, T14, T19, T20, T42 & T43, liquidambar, and T30, T36 & T38, olive. One “protected” tree, T1, European white birch, is in poor condition and is not suitable for retention in the project.
If removals are permitted, replacement trees will be required. The City of Scotts Valley recommends a minimum ratio of two trees are to be replanted (15 gallon or 24-inch box size), for every “protected” tree removed. Currently, fourteen trees are recommended for removal. Therefore, a total of twenty-eight replacement trees is required. The Landscape Plan, sheet L1, dated 2/20/2019 has twenty -five trees plotted.

APPENDIX B – CRITERIA FOR TREE ASSESSMENT CHART
Following is an explanation of the data used in the tree evaluations. The data is incorporated in the Tree Assessment Chart, Appendix A.
Trunk Diameter and Number of Trunks:
Trunk diameter as measured at 4.5 feet above grade. The number of trunks refers to a single or multiple trunked tree. Multiple trunks are measured at 4.5 feet above grade.
Health Ratings:
Good: A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease Fair: Moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, crown may be thinning and leaf color may be poor
Poor: Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk, most of foliage from epicormics
Structure Ratings:
Good: No significant structural defects. Growth habit and form typical of the species Fair: Moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with regular care Poor: Extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.
Suitability for Preservation Ratings:
Rating factors:
Tree Health: Healthy vigorous trees are more tolerant of construction impacts such as root loss, grading and soil compaction, then are less vigorous specimens.
Structural integrity: Preserved trees should be structurally sound and absent of defects or have defects that can be effectively reduced, especially near structures or high use areas.
Tree Age: Over mature trees have a reduced ability to tolerate construction impacts, generate new tissue and adjust to an altered environment. Young to maturing specimens are better able to respond to change.
Species response: There is a wide variation in the tolerance of individual tree species to construction impacts.
Rating Scale:
Good: Trees in good health and structural condition with potential for longevity on the site Fair: Trees in fair health and/or with structural defects that may be reduced with treatment procedures.
Poor: Trees in poor health and/or with poor structure that cannot be effectively abated with treatment. Trees can be expected to decline or fail regardless of construction impacts or management . The species or individual may possess characteristics that are incompatible or undesirable in landscape settings or unsuited for the intended use of the site.
Construction Impacts:
Rating Scale:
High: Development elements proposed that are located within the Tree Protection Zone that would severely impact the health and /or stability of the tree. The tree impacts cannot be mitigated without design changes. The tree may be located within the building footprint.
Moderate: Development elements proposed that are located within the Tree Protection Zone that will impact the health and/or stability of the tree and can be mitigated with tree protection treatments.
Low: Development elements proposed that are located within or near the Tree Protection Zone that will have a minor impact on the health of the tree and can be mitigated with tree protection treatments.
None: Development elements will have no impact on the health and stability of the Tree.
Tree Protection Zone (TPZ):
Defined area within which certain activities are prohibited or restricted to prevent or minimize potential injury to designated trees, particularly during construction or development.

E
Excavation shall only occur within the TPZ (Tree Protection Zone), of retained trees, when designated by the Project Arborist. Excavations within (or outside of the TPZ, as designated), the Tree Protection Zone, will be executed by hand, in order to preserve roots two (2") inches in diameter or greater during the excavation process. All root pruning will be conducted under supervision of the Project Arborist. These activities will be documented, and a monitoring report will be provided to the City Arborist. Under direction of the Project Arborist, it may be necessary to temporarily remove the Tree Protection Fencing to allow access for root pruning activities.
Trenches for root pruning will be hand dug according to locations of the Tree Protection Plan sheet:
• Trenches will be dug one foot behind staking on tree side of stakes.
• The depth of the trench will equal the depth required for installation of the adjacent element.
• Cleanly prune any roots encountered 2 inches in diameter or smaller. Use loppers, hand saw or Sawzall. A sharp
spade may be used for palm roots. The pruned roots should be covered with burlap layers or carpeting and kept moist until the trench is backfilled.
• If roots are encountered 2" in diameter or greater, the Project Arborist shall be notified, and a determination shall be made to prune the root or retain the root depending on site specific conditions.
• Reinstall the Tree Protection Fencing to its original location.

0 Tree Protection Specifications & Recommended Sequence Demolition Phase:
1. Tree Removal - Remove trees marked for removal.
2. Tree Pruning - Lay out edge of proposed building closest to trees T17 and T18.
Perform clearance pruning if necessary, to achieve a minimum of 5 feet clearance from new building.
3. Tree Protection Fencing - Install Tree Protection Fencing, in location indicated on Tree Location & Removal Plan, sheet T1, and copied on Tree Protection Plan, sheet T2, prior to beginning of demolition.
4. Supplemental Irrigation -A temporary hose bib shall be installed withing the vicinity of trees T11 & T2 and T17 & T18.
A. A battery-operated hose end irrigation timer shall be installed on the hose bib.
B. Soaker hoses shall be laid out within the canopy drip line of the four trees to provide supplemental irrigation for the duration of the project.
C. If it is necessary to temporarily move the hoses during construction phases adjacent to the trees, the hoses shall be reinstalled once the design element is completed.
5. Demolition of existing curb and parking lot - On existing asphalt, mark new curb layout adjacent to trees T11 & T12. Sawcut asphalt at new curb marking. Remove existing asphalt between new curb and trees T11 & T12, using a jack hammer and hand loading pieces,
Construction Phase:
1. Installation of curb and parking lot - Excavation for new curb closest to trees T11 & T12, shall be accomplished by hand methods (see tree protection plan Sheet T2, for location). An electric spade may be used for excavation. The depth of the trench for curb form shall equal the depth required for excavation of the new curb.
Any roots found less than 2" in diameter, shall be cleanly pruned with loppers, hand saw or Sawzall, 1-2 feet behind the form boards, between the forms and trees T11 & T12. If roots are encountered 2" in diameter or greater, they shall be pruned under supervision of the Project Arborist. Roots shall be pruned by methods indicated on Tree Protection Plan sheet T1, Pre-Construction Root Pruning.
2. Installation of storm drain line. sanitary sewer line & fire service line. adjacent to trees T17 & T18 •
A. Stake trenching location for drain line, sewer line or fire service line.
B. Hand dig or machine trenching to a depth of 24" shall be performed in area indicated on plan sheet T2. This procedure will pre-cut any roots from adjacent trees T17 & T18.
C. Use of any of the following equipment to machine trench is permissible:
a. Ditch Witch RT45 Trencher, or equivalent.
D. Any torn roots found in trench, shall be cleanly pruned with loppers, hand saw or Sawzall. Roots shall be pruned by methods indicated on Tree Protection Plan sheet, Pre-Construction Root Pruning.
E. Once roots have been cleanly pruned, final trenching to desired depth and width required for pipe installation may be completed with other machinery (backhoe, excavator), as necessary
3. Installation of pervious paver patio - The patio perimeter shall be laid out so that no patio edge is closer than 5 feet to trunks of trees T17 & T18. Any subgrade material added to achieve desired subgrade for pavers shall be by hand methods, no machinery within patio footprint.
4. The grade shall not be raised at the tree trunk or within 1 - 2 feet of the trunk. No new soi/ shall be placed against the tree trunks under any circumstances.

Glossary of Terms
Basal rot: decay of the lower trunk, trunk flare, or buttress roots.
Canker: Localized diseased area on stems, roots and branches. Often sunken and discolored.
Critical Root Zone (CRZ): Area of soil around a tree where a minimum number of roots considered critical to the structural stability or health of the tree are located. CRZ determination is sometimes based on the drip line or a multiple of the DBH, but because root growth can be asymmetric due to site conditions, on-site investigation may be required.
Codominant branches/stems: Forked branches (or trunks), nearly the same size in diameter, arising from a common junction and lacking a normal branch union, may have included bark.
Crown: Upper part of a tree, measured from the lowest branch, including all branches and foliage.
Defect: An imperfection, weakness, or lack of something necessary. In trees defects are injuries, growth patterns, decay, or other conditions that reduce the tree’s structural strength.
Diameter at breast height (DBH): Measurement of trunk diameter at 4.5 feet above grade.
Frass: Fecal material and/or wood shavings produced by insects.
Included Bark Attachments (crotches): Branch/limb or limb /trunk, or codominant trunks originating at acute angles from each other. Bark remains between such crotches, preventing the development of axillary wood. The inherent weakness of such attachments increases with time, through the pressure of opposing growth and increasing weight of wood and foliage, often resulting in failure.
Live Crown Ratio (LCR): Ratio of the the crown length (live foliage), to total tree height.
Scaffold branches: Permanent or structural branches that form the scaffold architecture or structure of a tree.
Suppressed: Trees that have been overtopped and occupy an understory position within a group or grove of trees. Suppressed trees often have poor structure.

Appendix G- TREE PROTECTION GUIDELINES AND RESTRICTIONS Protecting Trees During Construction:
1) Before the start of site work, equipment or materials move in, clearing, excavation, construction, or other work on the site, every tree to be retained shall be securely fenced- off as delineated in approved plans. Such fences shall remain continuously in place for the duration of the work undertaken in connection with the development. 2) If the proposed development, including any site work, will encroach upon the tree protection zone, special measures shall be utilized, as approved by the project arborist, to allow the roots to obtain necessary oxygen, water, and nutrients. 3) Underground trenching shall avoid the major support and absorbing tree roots of protected trees. If avoidance is impractical, hand excavation undertaken under the supervision of the project arborist may be required. Trenches shall be consolidated to service as many units as possible. Boring/tunneling under roots should be considered as an alternative to trenching.
4) Concrete or asphalt paving shall not be placed over the root zones of protected trees, unless otherwise permitted by the project arborist.
5) Artificial irrigation shall not occur within the root zone of native oaks, unless deemed appropriate on a temporary basis by the project arborist to improve tree vigor or mitigate root loss.
6) Compaction of the soil within the tree protection zone shall be avoided. 7) Any excavation, cutting, or filling of the existing ground surface within the tree protection zone shall be minimized and subject to such conditions as the project arborist may impose. Retaining walls shall likewise be designed, sited, and constructed to minimize their impact on protected trees.
8) Burning or use of equipment with an open flame near or within the tree protection zone shall be avoided. All brush, earth, and other debris shall be removed in a manner that prevents injury to the tree.
9) Oil, gas, chemicals, paints, cement, stucco or other substances that may be harmful to trees shall not be stored or dumped within the tree protection zone of any protected tree, or at any other location on the site from which such substances might enter the tree protection zone of a protected tree.
10) Construction materials shall not be stored within the tree protection zone of a protected tree.
Project Arborist Duties and Inspection Schedule:
The project arborist is the person(s) responsible for carrying out technical tree inspections, assessment of tree health, structure and risk, arborist report preparation, consultation with designers and municipal planners, specifying tree protection measures, monitoring, progress reports and final inspection.
A qualified project arborist (or firm) should be designated and assigned to facilitate and insure tree preservation practices. He/she/they should perform the following inspections:
Inspection of site: Prior to equipment and materials move in, site work, demolition, landscape construction and tree removal: The project arborist will meet with the general contractor, architect / engineer, and owner or their representative to review tree preservation measures, designate tree removals, delineate the location of tree protection fencing, specify equipment access routes and materials storage areas, review the existing condition of trees and provide any necessary recommendations.
Inspection of site: During excavation or any activities that could affect trees: Inspect site during any activity within the Tree Protection Zones of preserved trees and any recommendations implemented. Assess any changes in the health of trees since last inspection.
Final Inspection of Site: Inspection of site following completion of construction. Inspect for tree health and make any necessary recommendations.
Kurt Fouts shall be the Project Arborist for this project. All scheduled inspections shall include a brief Tree Monitoring report, documenting activities and provided to the City Arborist.
Tree Protection Fencing
Tree Protection fencing shall be installed prior to the arrival of construction equipment or materials. Fence shall be comprised of six -foot chain link fence mounted on eight - foot tall, 1 and 7/8-inch diameter galvanized posts, driven 24 inches into the ground and spaced on a minimum of 10-foot centers. Once established, the fence must remain undisturbed and be maintained throughout the construction process until final inspection.
A final inspection by the City Arborist at the end of the project will be required prior to removing any tree protection fencing.
Tree Protection Signs
All sections of fencing should be clearly marked with signs stating that all areas within the fencing are Tree Protection Zones and that disturbance is prohibited.
Monitoring
Any trenching, construction or demolition that is expected to damage or encounter tree roots should be monitored by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist and should be documented.
The site should be evaluated by the project arborist or a qualified ISA Certified Arborist after construction is complete, and any necessary remedial work that needs to be performed should be noted.
Root Pruning
Root pruning shall be supervised by the project arborist. When roots over two inches in diameter are encountered they should be pruned by hand with loppers, handsaw, reciprocating saw, or chain saw rather than left crushed or torn. Roots should be cut beyond sinker roots or outside root branch junctions and be supervised by the project arborist. When completed, exposed roots should be kept moist with burlap or backfilled within one hour.
Tree Work Standards and Qualifications
All tree work, removal, pruning, planting, shall be performed using industry standards of workmanship as established in the Best Management Practices of the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and the American National Standards Institute series, Safety Requirements in Arboriculture Operations ANSI Z133-2017, Contractor licensing and insurance coverage shall be verified.
During tree removal and clearance, sections of the Tree Protection Fencing may need to be temporarily dismantled to complete removal and pruning specifications. After each section is completed, the fencing is to be re-installed.
Trees to be removed shall be cut into smaller manageable pieces consistent with safe arboricultural practices, and carefully removed so as not to damage any surrounding trees or structures. The trees shall be cut down as close to grade as possible. Tree removal is to be performed by a qualified contractor with valid City Business/ State Licenses and General Liability and Workman’s Compensation insurance.

CONSULTING ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education. Knowledge, training, and experience to examine trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, and attempt to reduce risk of living near trees, Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree.
Trees are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk. The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees. 826 Monte my Avenue

Portions of this report locate significant archaeological sites in the region of the project area, and indiscriminate distribution of these data could result in the desecration and destruction of invaluable cultural resources. In order to ensure the security of the critical data in this report, certain maps and passages may be deleted in copies not delivered directly into the hands of environmental personnel and qualified archaeologists.
THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR
ABSTRACT
This cultural resource evaluation was conducted for the proposed Heritage Real Estate Ventures, LLC project at 125 Bethany Drive in the City of Scotts Valley. Research included an archival search in the State records and a surface survey of the proposed project area. The archival research revealed that one informally recorded archaeological resource, P-2, is located within or adjacent to the proposed project area. This consisted of three chert flakes noted as part of a broad archaeological survey which included the proposed project area within its scope, S-3913. Three additional previously recorded resources are located within a one-quarter mile radius of the proposed project area: CASCR-238, CA-SCR-239, and P-44-402. No significant cultural materials, prehistoric or historic, were noted during surface reconnaissance; however; surface visibility was somewhat limited due to existing structures, hardtop surfaces, and landscaping materials.
In addition, the proposed project area is located in close proximity to Carbonera Creek, a watercourse along which prehistoric sites have been encountered in the past. Thus it is recommended that archaeological monitoring be carried out during earth moving activities for the proposed project.
REQUEST FOR CULTURAL RESOURCE EVALUATION
This cultural resource evaluation was carried out to determine the presence or absence of any significant cultural resources. Cultural resource services were requested in May of 2021 in order to provide an evaluation that would investigate the possible presence of cultural materials within the proposed project area. This study meets the requirements of CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act).
QUALIFICATIONS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Archaeological Resource Management has been specifically engaged in cultural resource management projects in central California since 1977. The firm is owned and supervised by Dr. Robert Cartier, the Principal Investigator. Dr. Cartier is certified by the Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA) for conducting cultural resource investigations as well as other specialized work in archaeology and history. He also fulfills the standards set forth by the Secretary of the Interior for inclusion as a historian and architectural historian and is certified as such on the State of California referral lists.
LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT AREA
The subject area consists of the property at 125 Bethany Drive in the City of Scotts Valley. On the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle of Laurel, California, the Universal Transverse Mercator Grid (UTMG) center point of the proposed project area is 10S 5 89 131mE/41 02 848mN. The elevation is approximately 600 feet MSL. The nearest source of fresh water is Carbonera Creek which runs approximately 100 feet east of the proposed project area.
The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing structures and the construction of an office project. This project will involve the necessary excavation, grading, trenching, and other earth moving activities.

METHODOLOGY
This investigation consisted of an archival search, a surface reconnaissance, and a written report of the findings with appropriate recommendations. The archival research is conducted by transferring the study location to a state archaeological office which maintains all records of archaeological investigations. This is done in order to learn if any archaeological sites or surveys have been recorded within a half mile of the subject area. Each archival search with the state is given a file number for verification. The purpose of the surface reconnaissance is to determine whether there are traces of prehistoric or historic materials within the study area. The survey is conducted by an archaeologist, who examines exposed soils for early ceramics, Native American cooking debris, and artifacts made of stone, bone, and shell. Older structures, distinctive architecture, and subsurface historic trash deposits of potentially significant antiquity are also taken into consideration. A report is written containing the archival information, record search number, survey findings, and appropriate recommendations. A copy of this evaluation is sent to the state archaeological office in compliance with state procedure.
A cultural resource is considered "significant" if it qualifies as eligible for listing in the California Register of Historic Resources (CRHR). Properties that are eligible for listing in the CRHR must meet one or more of the following criteria:
1. Association with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of local or regional history or the cultural heritage of California or the United States;
2. Association with the lives of persons important to local, California, or national history;
3. Embodying the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, region, or method of construction, or representing the work of a master, or possessing high artistic values; or
4. Has yielded, or has the potential to yield, information important to the prehistory or history of the local area, California, or the nation.
Most Native American prehistoric sites are eligible due to their age, scientific potential, and/or burial remains.
The CRHR interprets the integrity of a cultural resource as its physical authenticity. An historic cultural resource must retain its historic character or appearance and thus be recognizable as an historic resource. Integrity is evaluated by examining the subject's location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. If the subject has retained these qualities, it may be said to have integrity. It is possible that a cultural resource may not retain sufficient integrity to be listed in the National Register of Historic Places yet still be eligible for listing in the CRHR. If a cultural resource retains the potential to convey significant historical/scientific data, it may be said to retain sufficient integrity for potential listing in the CRHR.
ARCHIVAL BACKGROUND
Prior to surface reconnaissance of the project area, a study of the maps and records at the Northwest Information Center of the California Archaeological Site Inventory was conducted and given the file number NWIC #20-2280. This research into the records at the Information Center, along with in-house material at Archaeological Resource Management, was done to determine if any known archaeological resources were reported in or around the subject area. The archival research revealed that one informally 2
