Gabriel A. Gonzalez, City Manager
Prepared By: Michael James, Public Works Director
TEMPORARY USE AGREEMENT WELL 17 SOLAR PROPERTY

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the requested action is not a "project" per Section 15378(b)(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; approve License Agreement for temporary use of Assessor Parcel Number 026-160-46 with Piuser Construction subject to review and approval by the City Attorney; and authorizethe Public Works Director to execute said agreement.

BACKGROUND
Earlier this year, solar panels at multiple City water well and tank sites were installed. Among the sites is Weli 17, located at the southwest corner of Veterans Park. The energy production for this site was supposed to have been fully generated from solar-covered shade structures at a paved lot at the so.rth end of the park. However, the location of an underground storm drain pipeline prevented the installation of approximately one-half of the structures that the solar contractor had already ordered. These structures were eventually installed at a vacant City-owned lot immediately west of Well 17.

Staff does not have any immediate plan or use for the site of the relocated solar parking structures.

In the future, it could be developed as a secondary parking lot for activities at Veterans Park. Still, until the City is ready to consider and fund any improvements, the ground between the parking structure will not be used or needed.

The property owner to the west of the solar parking structures, represented by David Piuser of Piuser Construction, has expressed an interest inusing the areaunderneaththemto store equipment for professional use. Mr. Piuser and Staff have discussed a Temporary Use Agreement to permit this use. The terms discussed include the City not charging Mr. Piuser provided he maintains the site and allows the City to access and maintain the panels' The estimated annual cost for the City to maintain the site is broken downs as follows:

Desuiption Unit Otv Rate Ext. Cost
Service Crewmember (5hr/wk) HR 260 $50 $13,000
Public Facilities Manager HR 24 $60 $1,440
Public Works Director HR t2 $120 $1,440
Chemicals for Weed Control LS I $1,000 $1,000
Total $16,880
v

CONSENT CALENDAR
Temporary Use Agreement for Well 17 Solar Property
The estimated annual gross revenue from a potential lease of an unimproved lot is $15,000.

Therefore, with the estimated savings in reduced maintenance costs exceeding the estimated income from lease payments, the proposed temporary use agreement would not constitute aa gift of public funds or resources. The public benefit in terms of monetary value is the cost savings to the City for not having to maintain the vacant parcel.

As drafted, the temporary use agreement would expire June 30, 2023 or sooner if the City issues a 30-day termination notice. A new agreement can be developed and brought before the Council for approval if the use is mutually beneficial to both the City and Mr. Piuser.

FISCAL IMPACT
No budget action is necessary

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a "projecf'per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because the action is the creation of govemment funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. Therefore, the action is not subject to CEQA.

ALTERNATIVES
The City can reject the recommended action in favor of not committing the use of the solar site.

However, the recommended temporary use agreement does not extend past June 30,2023, which allows the City to assess future uses. During this period, Piuser Construction will be responsible for site maintenance, reducing a burden that would have otherwise been the City's responsibility.

Therefore, staff is not recommending an alternative.

S}IAFTER COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: September 20,2022
FROM: Gabriel A. Gonzalez,City Manager
Prepared By: Michael James, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE

CITY OF SHAFTER AND KSI ENGINEERING IN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED $65,000 FOR THE STRINGHAM PARK SITE AMENITIES
DESIGN

RECOMMENDATION
Council find the requested action is not a "project" per Section 15378(b)(5) of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act Guidelines; accept three (3) proposals submitted in response to a Request for Proposals for the Stringham Park Site Amenities Design project; and authorize the Public Works Director to award and execute a professional services contract to KSI Engineering, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $65,000 for said project subject to said contract being reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

BACKGROUND
Nearly $5 million in grant funding through the Clean California program was awarded for recreational improvements within the Historic Core of the City. Approximately $1 million of the grant funds new amenities at Stringham Park, including a visitor parking lot, shade structure, playground, lighting, and landscaping.

Staff recently completed an informal Request for Proposals for qualified firms to assist staff with the design of the grant-funded improvements. Three proposals were received, which are summarized as follows:

KSI Engineering (KSI) submitted the lowest responsive proposal for a proposed fee of $58,400.

While this firm has not previously provided contracted design services for the City, newly acquired staff committed to the project have provided past engineering and surveying work. An appropriate budget to cover their proposed fees plus contingency (approx. l0%) is $65,000. Upon being awarded a professional services contract to proceed, KSI expects to complete its design work within six months, putting construction in a position to start next summer and finish by Spring 2024.

KSI Ensineering.Inc $58,400
Meyer Civil Eneineering, Inc. $70,526
San Joaquin Engineering, Inc. $92,100
CONSENT CALENDAR q
Stringham Park Site Amenities Design Award

FISCAL IMPACT
An unspent balance of State of Good Repair (SGR) funds, committed to establishing a new transit station at Stringham Park, is a funding option for the proposed design services because the design entails a parking lot that supports transit ridership. Further, using SGR funds preserves Clean California grant funds for construction. The estimated unspent SGR balance progralnmed in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget is summarized as follows:

SGR Total $191,260
Bus Shelter Purchase $13,800
Bus Bay Construction $85,000
Unspent Balance $92,460
Because the SGR funds are programmed into the current CIP, no additional budget action is required.

CEQA ANALYSIS
The action is not a "project" per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(bX5) because the action is the organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, the action is not subject to CEQA.

ALTERNATIVES
By completing the necessary project design work with City staff rather than a consultant, the SGR funds can be preserved and used for other transit-related improvements within the City. However, there is currently no alternative project site identified for SGR funds. Most importantly, the design work should commence soon to complete the construction of the improvements funded by the Clean California grant before the completion deadline of June 2024. Due to limited City staffing, contracted design services are considered the best option for meeting the construction deadline.

Proposal - Surveying and Engineering Services
Stringham Park Site Amenities
Dear Mr. James
KSI Engineering, Inc. is pleased to present this proposal for surveying and engineering services associated with the Stringham Park Site Amenities project. Our understanding of this project is based upon our review of the Request for Proposals document provided by the CiW of Shafter and subsequent Addendum 1 dated August 8,2022.

KSI Engineering is a multi-disciplinary engineering service provider located in southwest Bakersfleld, California. As you may know, in May of this year, Palmetto Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc. became a part of the KSI Engineering team. I am now the Principal Civil Engineer and Director of Land Development for KSL I'm excited to combine my many (30+) years of engineering and design experience with the resources available at KSI Engineering' While at Palmetto, I directed and oversaw the engineering and design of many publicly funded projects, including park and recreation faciliUes. We are now looking forward to continuing my history with the City of Shafter and utilizing the resources of KSI Engineering to successfully deliver a project of which the City can be proud.

For the geotechnical and irrigation/landscape portion of this project, KSI Engineering is pleased to join with two well respected local firms - Soils Engineering, Inc. and Rios Design Studios. Both firms have worked with the City of Shafter on previous projects and are excited to be included as part of the team for this project.

The remaining portions of this document will present the information in response to the Request For Proposal. Should you require any additional information or would like to discuss any portion of this document, please call (661-330-236I) or email ([email protected]) me at your convenience.

Sincerely,
a Fa"c-'

u$mnilo,tto, SCOPE OF WORK AND ASSOCIATED WORK PLAN
Our scope of work on this project will entail the following activities:
o Preliminary Site Plan Development
. Site Suruey
. Base Map Development
. Geotechnical Investigation
. Final Site Plan Development
. Design
o Grading/Drainage/Hardscape
o Foundations (Shade, Transit, Playground)
o Landscape/Irrigation
o Lighting
o Vendor Coordination
Our initial task will entail the development of a preliminary site plan. Using an approximate outline of the existing park area, we will incorporate the expected layout of the new parking area and other planned features of the park (shade structure, playground, transit shelter, etc.) to produce a draft site plan of the updated park. We will review this draft plan with City staff and revise as necessary to produce an efficient and pleasing park layout.

Upon approval of the preliminary park plan, we will gather the survey data necessary design the revitalized park. Our site suryey work will entail capturing horizontal location and elevation for all existing significant points within the project area. Significant points would include all curb and gutters (lip, flowline and top of curb), sidewalks (sufficient surface points to identify non-ADA compliant areas), adjacent asphalt surfaces, adjacent building perimeters and doors, utilities (power poles, catch basins, manholes, vaults, valve boxes, etc.), landscaping and irrigation systems, and other planimetric items (street signs, traffic control signs, fire hydrants, benches, trash receptacles, etc.). In addition to conventional suruey methods, a drone will be utilized to provide point cloud data and video documentation of the project area.

Upon completion of the field surveying activities, all point data will be downloaded and processed to create a base map reflecting all existing are topography, structures, hardscape and landscape. The resulting plan will be reviewed by the survey coordinator to ensure that the developed map accurately reflects the existing condition of the project area. The produced AutoCAD and PDF files will be made available to the City for review and reference.

Once the base map is completed, the preliminary site plan will be insefted into the surveyed park site and adjusted to conform to the actual limits of the existing park. Additionally, if any physical constraints are identified during the survey which will impact the preliminary layout the site plan will be revised accordingly.
llPage
Once the preliminary site plan is issued, we will begin interacting with product vendors for the ilsltlfll0.lr0' shade structure, transit shelter and playground equipment. We will engage multiple vendors for each item and work with City staff to select the vendors which provide suitable deliverables at competitive prices. Note that we have assumed that the City (or City-selected contractor) will purchase the actual items. This scope of work does not include procurement of any items to be installed.

The geotechnical investigation will begin shortly after completion of the site suruey. The geotechnical investigation will consist of drilling hollow-stem borings at key site locations and collecting samples for laboratory analysis. Based upon the site observations during drilling and the results of the laboratory analyses, the geotechnical engineer will provide soil properties and recommendations for the design and construction of foundations for the planned park amenities.

Should the geotechnical investigation identify any conditions that require the adjustment of the planned improvements, the park site plan will be modified. Of course, all plan revisions will be revised and approved by City staff. At this point the final site plan will be issued and site design work will commence.

Using the resulting information from all the above activities, construction plans will be developed for the planned park improvements. We anticipate issuing the following drawings a part of this package:
o Title Sheet
. Geotechnical Notes/Project Notes Sheet
o Demolition Plan (if necessary)
o Horizontal Control Plan
. Site Improvement Plan
. Grading Plan
o Foundation Location Plan
. Foundation Construction Plan and Details
. Landscape/PlantingPlan
. Irrigation Plan
o Vendor Plan - Shade Structure
o Vendor Plan - Transit Shelter
. Vendor Plan - Playground Equipment
. Supporting Detail Sheets
In addition to the plans, structural calculations for the structure foundations will be provided.

Note that all plans, calculations and documents will be stamped by the appropriate licensed professional (surveyor, geotechnical engineer, civil engineer, landscape architect).

An anticipated project schedule has been prepared and is included with the bid documents in Appendix A.

Having worked at several notable Landscape Architectural firms, she is well versed in a wide diversity of projects.

Understanding the soil make up is imperative to choosing the right plant material for its survival. RDS is unique, because they provide soil analysis and recommendations prior to design and work the soil requirements into the design. Mrs. Rios also has specialized in salvaging protected native plant material such as cacti, well as, relocating them, as required. She considers each site, and can necessitated the use of existing plant material and its low water needs while introducing additional plant material to create a special space.

Rios Design Studio (RDS) takes pride in developing landscapes which use water responsibly while branding a marketable look and manageable design. Whether it is model homes, custom residences or even commercial sites, she can bring a distinctive look while working with maintenance personnel to establishing a readable design to the public and customer. Crossroads Business Park is an example of an industrial site that has been planted and irrigated as per the California State Water Conservation Law (MWELO) to welcome the public and be easily maintained. RDS also works with hotels like Holiday lnn Express & Suites in Ventura, CA. Artisan Square Shopping Complex is a high end successful retail complexes that we designed for bold color and low water use planting to entice shoppers.

Creating a sense of community is essential for Rios Design Studio. RDS has worked with key architects and local state housing authority agencies on two farmworkers housing projects; one in Almond Village Multi-family and Single Family in Lost Hills CA and the other in Wasco, CA. Each housing project includes a park & club house with a variety of housing types like apartments, duplexes, and single family units. RDS is currently involved with the ARC committee for K. Hovanian's Four Seasons HOA. Mrs. Rios works with the committee to provide professional direction to the review of new landscapes within the community. RDS has also worked with local Engineer, LAV/Pinnacle Engineering, in the design of the City of Arvin's Garden in the Sun Spray Park and Par Course Park. With both projects RDS had introduced low water using, easy to maintain, hardy native plant material in conjunction with the use of new innovative irrigation techniques to promote water conservation and ease of maintenance. RDS works with the local maintenance directors to ensure long lasting beautiful City landscapes.

With thirty years of experience in the field of Landscape Architecture, he has practiced in the design and construction of a wide diversity of projects located in California and Nevada. These projects primarily consisted of master planned residential, educational and public institutions, park and recreation and commercial type of projects.

From the beginning Rios Design Studio, has made a commitment to designing landscapes which make effective use of water. This is the company Mission Statement. By adopting a strategy that is proven to work, our slogan is /Conservation by Designt'.

Listed below are projects that focused on water conservation that Mr. Rios has worked on.

The Wonderful Company's (Paramont) Headquarters in Kern County had goals to change the landscape look of grass, eucalyptus and junipers to a new brand of beautiful, flowering, drought tolerant frontage that could also be used by the employees with a walking path and covered dining patio. Mr. Rios designed the exterior to reflect the blossoming nature of the Wonderful Company with many flowering plant materials that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

While working on the West Kern Pedestrian Bridge Approach in McFarland, RDS prepared the plans to be drought tolerant and the irrigation to be as efficient as possible. No sprays were used on the project at all. The trees were watered using deep root bubblers, the shrub beds were irrigated using dripper lines that were covered with wood mulch and the turf was irrigated using a subsurface irrigation system, thereby eliminating overspray and run-off issues.

While working with Klassen Corporation, Rios Design Studio landscaped the Oxy Emergency and Fire Station, west of Taft, CA which utilized local desert plant material to blend in with the existing oil facility and incorporated point to point drip irrigation as a water conservation measure. The area is very arid and has weather patterns that change the wind direction and strength often. The local faunas, such as rabbits and ground squirrels, tend to eat away at the plant material. The Caterpillar Plant within the Teion lndustrial Complex, the planting and drip irrigation design minimized maintenance while still providing some softscape around the entrances.

Mill Creek Community redevelopment project, Bakersfield, CA (zoto). The project consists of streetscapes, Townhouses, Apartments, a small pocket park. The entire project was designed to meet the requirements of AB 1881. The irrigation system uses a smart controller to automatically adjust systems runtimes as the seasons change throughout the year. Drip irrigation delivers water to the shrubs that fill the landscape beds and the trees are irrigated with deep watering bubbler systems. Calculations were done to determine a Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA), based on the project size and evapotranspiration rate of the city. Once the systems were designed an Estimated Total Water Use (ETWU) calculation was done to determine how much water would actually be used and to show that it was less than the MAWA.

Grimmway Academy Charter School located in Arvin, Ca. The project was designed to have a Mediterranean 3 flavor in the architecture and the landscape. With that, the plant material is drought tolerant in nature and the majority of the campus is to be watered by drip irrigation. There is a soccer field on the site that will be irrigated with a rotor system for efficiency. The campus also includes an edible garden that is watered by hose bibs, per the request of the private consultant designing the edible garden as an educational part of the campus.

A 45 acre campus, Dr. Douglas K Fletcher Elementary & Paul L Cato Middle Schools, for BCSD was completed in 2014. The project is a combined Middle School and Elementary School on one site. The two campuses include large sport field areas, the inner campus between the classroom and the front of the school designed for staff parking and student drop-off and pick-up. The front of the school has drought tolerant landscaping, using drip irrigation installed. The sport fields will be watered using rotor systems and the inner campus will be utilizing spray irrigation. He was also involved in revitalizing his alma mater, Delano High School football field and practice field , redesigning a new irrigation system and drainage system with Ordiz Melby Architects. He has been involved with many other modernizations of local campuses as well as new elementary campuses.

Mr. Rios has specified several projects using artificial turf. One such project is Almond Village Multi-family Complex in Lost Hills, Ca with KSA Group Architects office and the Wasco Farmworkers Housing Complex, as well as, new and modernized schools. Both Multi-Family Complexes called for only large center plaza for play a4d outdoor dining. ln the Almond Village, the single family housing included real turf only in the backyards.

Both projects met all the LEED and Green Codes. All other areas larger projects using the artificial turf may require irrigation and specialty drainage in order to be compliant with sports fields requirements.

Mr. Rios has concentrated a focus on efficiently designed irrigation systems for maximizing water conservation. He has twenty-nine years of experience in designing irrigation systems as a landscape architect.

As a further commitment to this cause, Mr. Rios has passed requirements to obtain certifications issued through the lrrigation Association. He is a Certified Landscape lnigation Auditor (CLIA) and a Certified Irrigation Designer (Cl D).

With thirty years of experience in the field of Landscape Architecture, he has practiced in the design and construction of a wide diversity of projects located in Glifomia and Nevada. These proiects primarily consisted of master planned residential, educational and public institutions, park and recreation and commercial type of projects,
From the beginning Rios Design Studio, has made a commitment to designing landscapes which make effective use of water. This is the company Mission Statement. By adopting a str:ttegy that is proven to work, our slogan is'rConselvation by Deslgn".

Listed below are projects that focused on water conservaUon that Mr. Rios has worked on.

The Wonderful Company's (eanmont) Headquarters in Kem County had goals to change the landscape look of grass, eucalyptus and junipers to a new brand of beautiful, flowering drought tolerant frontage that could also be used by the employees with a walking path and covered dining patio, Mr. Rios designed the exterior to reflect the blossoming nature of the Wonderful Company with many flowering plant materials that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

While working on the West K€rn Pedestrlan Bridge Approach in McFarland, RDS prepared the plans to be drought tolerant and the irrigation to be as efficient as possible. No sprays were used on the project at all. The trees were watered using deep root bubblers, the shrub beds were irrigated using dripper lines that were covered with wood mulch and the turf was irrigated using a subsurface irrigation system, thereby eliminating overspray and run-off issues.

While working with Klassen Corporation, Rios Design Studio landscaped the Oxy Emergency and Flre Statlon, west of Taft, CA which utilized local desert plant material to blend in with the existing oil facility and incorporated point to point drip irrigation as a water conservation measure, The area is very arid and has weather patterns that change the wind direction and strength often. The local faunas, such as rabbits and ground squirrels, tend to eat away at the plant material. The Caterpillar Plant within the Tejon lndustrial Complex, the planting and drip irrigation design minimized maintenance while still providing some sofGcape around the entrances.

Mlll Creek Community redevelopment proiect, Bakenfield CA (roro). The project consists of streetscapes, Townhouses, Apartments, a small pocket park. The entire proiect was designed to meet the requirements of AB 1881. The irrigation system uses a smart controller to automatically adiust systems runtimes as the seasons change throughout the year. Drip irrigation delivers water to the shrubs that fill the landscape beds and the trees are irrigated with deep watering bubbler systems. Calculations were done to determine a Maximum Applied WaterAllowance (MAWA), based on the project size and evapotranspiration rate of the city. Once the systems were designed an Estimated Total Water Use (ENVU) calculation was done to determine how much water would actually be used and to show that it was less than the MAWA.

Grlmmway Academy Charter School located in Arvin, Ca. The project was designed to have a Medlteranean 3 flavor in the architecture and the landscape. With that, the plant material is drought tolerant in nature and the majority of the campus is to be watered by drip irrigation. There is a soccer field on the site that will be irrigated with a rotor system for efflciency. The campus also includes an edible garden that is watered by hose bibs, per the request of the private consultant designing the edible garden as an educational part of the campus.

A 45 acre campus, Dr. Douglas K Fletcher Elementary & hul L Cato Middle Schools, for BCSD was completed in 2or4. The project is a combined Middle School and Elementary School on one site. The two campuses include large sport field areas, the inner campus between the classroom and the front of the school designed for staff parking and student dropoff and pick-up. The front of the school has drought tolerant landscaping, using drip irrigation installed. The sport fields will be watered using rotor systems and the inner campus will be utilizing spray irrigation. He was also involved in revitalizing his alma mater, Delano High School football fleld and practice field , redesigning a new irrigation system and drainage system with Ordiz Melby Architects. He has been involved with many other modemizations of local campuses as well as new elementary campuses.

Mr- Rios has specified several projects using artificial turf. One such proiect ls Almond Village Multi-famlly Complex in Lost Hills, Ca with KSA Group Architects office and the Wasco Farmworkers Houslng Complex, as well as, new and modernized schools. Both Multi-Family Complexes called for only large center plaza for play and outdoor dining. ln the Almond Village, the single family housinf included real turf only in the backyards.

Both profects met all the LEED and Green Codes. All other areas larger prolects using the artificial turf may require irrigation and specialty drainage in order to be compliant with sports fields requirements.

Mr. Rios has concentrated a focus on efficiently designed inlgation systems for maximizing water conservation. He has twenty-nine years of experience in designing irrigation systems as a landscape architecl As a further commitment to this cause, Mr. Rios has passed requirements to obtain certifications issued through the lrrigation Association. He is a Certified Landscape lnigation Auditor (CLIA) and a Certified lrrigation Designer (ClD).

PROPOSAL
Services To Be provided - To ensure that the City can continue to provide basic municipal services by increasing its inventory of service-providing capital capacity, RCS proposes to compleie a Development tmpact Fee Catculation and Nexus that would consist of the following infrastructure:

1. Local Storm Drainage System Facilities

2. Water Sources, Storage and Delivery

3. Wastewater Collections SYstem

4. General Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment (city hall, yard, and fleet)

5. Aquatics Facilities

6. Public Use Facilities (community, senior, teen centers, et. al.)

7. Library Facilities and ltem Collection
B. parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Recreation Facilities Development, and any other Americans with Disabilities Act compliance needed for any of the above infrastructure areas and any infrastructure allowed by Government Code 566000, et. seq.

Scope of Work. To provide the legal basis for the City's Devel_opment lmpact Fee schedule the following steps would be taken by the Revenue & Cost Specialist staff, working with City staff where necessary and appropriate:

1. Review all maps, land-use documents and master plans, especially the Comprehensive General Plan.

2. Do a field "windshield" survey to become acquainted with the physical characteristics and general improvement needs and standards of the City.

3. Continue using the land use database created in the previous RCS impact fee study. While .r"iting the public safety impact lees RCS worked with the Directors of Finance, planninj and Building Safety and Public Works (and their designates) to determine the laid-use based development impact fee categories' This same land use database will be used for the impact fees included in this proposal. 1 7236.00000\40637 7 05.1
15 Land-uses for which an impact fee would be provided include the following NOTE: additional land-use particular to the City of Shafter could be added'

4. ldentify the existing Levels of Service (LOS) provided by the infrastructure and appropriations currently afforded by the City.

S. Meet with City staff responsible for each infrastructure to assist in the identification of aliprojects needed through theoretical build-out via use of master plans, specific plans, and other service requirement studies.

6. ldentify and analyze the demand driver specific to each infrastructure or servlce area. The "drivers" are the factors of nexus demand related to each land use and would be based upon the project plans or City productivity records. ldentify the amount of new demand for services that can be anticipated from the City's remaining development opportunities of privately-owned parcels.

7. Foster development of a specific list of projects and project costs of needed capital improvements and acquisitions for each of the previously recommended Development lmpact Fee infrastructures based on the anticipated new demands identified in SteP #6 above.
g.Apply the RCS computerized formulas for the distribution of the benefits of, nexus for,'ani impact of each group of projects on each of the above categories of land use.

g.ldentify any "excess capacity" provided by the existing infrastructure, the cost for which may be recovered from future residents and businesses.

10. Develop a specific fee structure for each of the previously listed potential development imPact fees.

Textual Nexus SuPPort Document -

11. prepare a comprehensive report consisting of the fee-structures and the necessary relevant nexus text and Report with recommended fees and also present the C1y with twenty sets of printing stock (covers and letterhead paper). One draft report icycle) is included in the proposal and then the final Report. Any additional Oran reb6rts or final reports beyond those included in this proposal will be invoiced separaiely at RCS hourly rates at an amount reflecting the magnitude of the requested changes.

12.Included in the report will be a written defense addressing AB 602 and a detailed explanation of why RCS has chosen to use a per dwelling unit versus the square footage measurement suggested by AB 602. The d_etailed explanation included in the report will satisfy all legal requirements of AB 602.

13. Meet with the City Attorney to review the relevant California State Statutes, specifically Government Code $OOOOO, et. seq., relating to land use an_d definition of fees in light of current State of California and United States Supreme Court rulings.

14.Attend a City Council study session and a public hearing of the resultant fees, and the process through which they were determined.

Staff Time Required - RCS will require some time of each of the Director of Planning and Building Safety, Director of Public Works, Director of Finance and any infrastructure manager to- develop the basic cost distribution structure, once the capital needs are identified by the various planning documents and approved by Council' During the DIF process, it is difficult for RCS decide what facilities the City needs or wantsl nor set development standards for the City. Due to 30 years of capital project and impact fee experience, RCS can assist in the project identification process. However, city staff retains the primary responsibility for determining the projects needed for the delired service levels necessary to support the General Plan and its many elements.

RCS will first rely upon various ieports, master plans, specific plans, and other related reports identifying needed infrastructure'
Time requirements will vary depending upon the current availability of needed information. An updated master plan will reduce the time necessary for project identification and costing. Lack of one will require an engineer's time in creating the costing information. RC-S will use the best information possible to complete legally supportable development impact fees.

"lmpact Fees: Practical Guide for Calculation and lmplementation" is considered by some to be the most concise primer on the calculation of impact fees. This paper was presented to the American Society of Civil Engineers at the Society's annual land management conference and was then selected for public-ation in their September, 1992 Journal of Urban Planning and Development, (Vol' 18, No' 3), pages 196.J18' This document suitably demonstrates RCS's understanding of the nexus req u i rement for leg a I ly-su ppo rtable im pact fees' 1 7236.00000\40637 70s.1
18 "Financing Capital lmprovements" was published in the Journal (of the) Americai WaterWorks Assocrafion, August, 1991, pages 50-52' This article, written atthe A\AAA/A's request, illustrates the continuing importance of the capital improvement planning process and simplifies its veneer of complexiiy. lt also demonstrates RCS's understanding of the relationship of the DlFs to the City's Comprehensive General Plan and overall capital planning process.
"The Missing lngredient in State-Mandated General Plans", Public Managemenf, lnternational City Management Association", March 2014' pageJ Zi-22. The article addresses the lack of a requirement for a Finlncial Component in the General Plan documents as to how the General Plan infrastructure and operational service costs would be supported.

Conflict of lnterest - No principal of RCS has any financial interests in the City of Shafter thatwould preclude the completion of impartialwork. RCS will complete such declarations and file them with the City Clerk. Our only interest is in leaving the City in better financial condition then before we started.

Legal Advice - RCS is not authorized to practice law, however we will offer management advice on issues related to impact fee setting. The City is advised to veriff the legality of such issues prior to attempting to adopt ordinances, resolutions and code modifications' The Report scope includes allowances for a zoom meeting with the City's legal team. lnsurance Gertificates - RCS maintains adequate insurance and will provide proof.

Reservation of Rights - Some of the concepts discussed in this proposal are considered to be proprietary an-d are the property of Revenue & Cost Specialist. All rights are reserved and no part oi this work may be reproduced or copied in any form without written permission of RCS. Expresseld permission rs hereby granted to the-City of Shafterto 'make sufficient copies of this proposal to permit evaluation thereof. No other use or distribution of this document is permitted.

The Revenue & Cost Specialist staff looks forward to being of assistance in bringing the management advantages and the revenue fairness and equity benefits of our System to the City, the Mayor, its City Council, and their constituents, and to City staff.

5. Acrease: 42.4 acres

PROJECT ANALYSIS
The Shafter Recreation and Park District (applicant and owner) is requesting a General Plan Amendment and,Zone Change to allow for the construction of a two-phase recreation and sports park on a 42.4-acre site located at the northwest corner of East Ash Avenue and Golds Avenue in itte City of Shafter (project). The proposed General Plan Amendment would change the land use from the existing Industrial (I) and Business Park (BP) land use designations to PS (Parks and Schools) designation, or a more restrictive designation. The proposed Zone Change would change the Industrial Q and Business Park (BP) zone districts to CF (Community Facilities) zone district, or a more restrictive district.

The project consists of a requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for the construction of a two-phase recreation and sports park on a 42.4-acre site located at the northwest corner of East Ash Avenue and Golds Avenue in the City of Shafter (project). The proposed General Plan Amendment would change the land use from the existing Industrial (I) and Business

PUBLIC HEARING I
Environmental Assessment No. 2l-242' General Plan Amendment No. 2l-37,andZone Change No. 2l-70 park (Bp) land use designations to PS (Parks and Schools) designation. The proposed ZoneChange would change the Industrial (I) and Business Park (BP) zone districts to CF (Community Facilities) zone district.

The project would be developed in two phases. Phase I would include the construction of various recreational fields and courts for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, and handball, as well as children's playground and barbecue areas totaling approximately 20 acres. Phase 1 would also include a 340-square-foot restroom, a 1,30O-square-foot concession stand with restroom, a 1,000- square-foot storage building, one 72O-square-foot offrce, and three parking a.reas composed of 336 parking spaces.
phase 2 would include the construction of various recreational features and courts such as an outdoor gym, tennis/pickle ball courts, kids fit course, dog-park, barbecue area, and track field. phase 2 would also include the construction of a26,725-square-foot gym/multi-pu{pose room, a 1,500-square-foot shop, a 1,000-square-foot restroom, maintenance yard, and two parking areas ,o,,'por.d of 388 purtitrg rpu".r. Street construction included in Phase 2 would include the ,"*uinirrg portion of tn u"."rr road along the north and west boundaries of the park. An on-site retention basin, sized per a drainage study reviewed and approved by the City Engineer, would also be developed at ihe site. Additionally, an on-site drywell and filtration unit would also be developed to filter raw irrigation water provided by the Shafter-Wasco Irrigation District and supplemented by an offsite water well (see below).

The anticipated closing time of the park would be 10:00 p.m. in compliance with Shafter Municipal Code Section 12.32.040j. The conceptual development plan for both phases of the proposed improvements is attached to this document' See Exhibit 4' The lighting at the site would utilize mechanics and directional design that would prevent light from bleedirg ou", onto adjacent residences during recreational events occurring during evening hours.

Both phase 1 and phase 2 of the project would include the installation of lighting on poles up to g0 feet tall, which, if the subject General Plan Amendment and Zone Change is approved, will require a subsequent Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval for the installation of up to 8O-foot poles.

Offsite improvements are not shown on the conceptual site plan attached to this document. Offsite improvements include:
o Connection to existing potable water system at East Ash Avenue or a future waterline to be constructed within-G-olds Avenue. This connection would be for potable water only and the supplied potable water is not to be used for irrigation' o Connection to existing sewer service located along East Ash Avenue. o Connection to the SWID system via an existing outlet located on adjacent City property (ApN 089-140-73) to supply irrigation water to the site February through November. o Connection to existing water well from three possible nearby wells. Two of these wells are private and one is on City-owned properfy.
.|
Environmental Assessment No. 2l-2420 Generaf Plan Amendment No. 2l-37,andZone Change No. 21-70 Construction of a gravity sewer within the access road on the west and north sides of the park with a point of connection to the existing sewer system within East Ash Avenue. This r.*". is meant to serve the commercial lots between the proposed park and Lerdo Highway. Construction of this public facility would be completed before or concurrently with Phase 1. Note: Since the park does not benefit from a new sewer, the sewer's construction would be on the City of Shafter to design and install.

LAND USE ELEMENT COMPATIBILITY
Staff has reviewed the proposal for compatibility with the applicable objectives and policies contained within the Shafter General Plan Land Use Element and finds the following:

2.10 Public and Ouasi-Public Uses
Objective: provide ample area for the conduct of public business and the operation of individual i*tit"tio* within the iommunity, reinforcing Shafter's vision of a community that values civic involvement.

The project is consistent with this objective because the 42.4-acre park provides additional arcato cond.rcip.tblic business to allow for the operation of individual institutions within the community, such as a possible site for future community events put on by either the City or other individual institutions.

Policv 3: Work with area service agencies to define their needs and ensure adequate inventory of tuoOr f* schools, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire facilities, libraries, cultural facilities, and other public and quasi-public services.

This project is consistent with this policy because the City has been working with the Shafter Recreation and park District and this collaboration resulted in the need to entitle the subject property for use as a park and recreational facility. The City will continue to work with the Shafter Recreation and Park District on the development of the park. policy 4: Support the development and operation of shared school/park facilities. Work with area ro-',,ir" ug.tt"i.r to identiff and implement programs to share resources and undertake joint programs where such programs could result in mutually beneficial cost savings and improved services and facilities to Shafter residents and businesses.

This project is consistent with this policy because both the City and the Shafter Recreation and park bistrict are working together to develop a park facility that will be shared by the City, the District, and any other individual institutions that wish to use the park and in compliance with the Municipal Code.
policy 6: Require new development to pay its fair share of the infrastructure and facilities improvements that are required to support the development.

This project is consistent with this policy because the City is requiring the Shafter Recreation and Park District to pay its fair share of improvements, including, but not necessarily limited to, improvements to poiable, non-potable, sewer, and storm drainage facilities as well as nearby roads. -3-
a
Environmental Assessment No. 2l-242, General Plan Amendment No. 2l-37 , and Zone Change No. 21-70 Policv 7: Ensure that the location, intensity, and timing of new rural and urban development are coordinated with the provision of infrastructure.

This project is not consistent with this policy because the City has determined that necessary infrastructure is not available to serve the project site without needing to increase service capacity.

NOTICING
As required by Senate Bill 18, all general plan amendments require consultation with California Native American tribes. Staff requested a tribal consultation list from the Native American Heritage Commission, and Staff received a list with 25 tribal contacts. Staff provided a letter dated September 14,2021to each contact on the list.

Public notice for the proposed project and environmental determination were also advertised in The Shafter Press. All property owners within 300 feet of the project site were notified by United States Postal Service mail regarding this public hearing.

Comments Received: The City received a comment from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians stating that they did not wish to participate in the processing of this project because the project area is outside their ancestral territory. Comment noted for the record.

CEQA
Based upon an initial study, Staff has determined that the project, with mitigation measures, would not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (IvIND) (Shafter Environmental Assessment No. 2l-242 and State Clearinghouse No. 2022060577) was prepared for this project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The MND was circulated for a 30-day public and agency review period from June24,2022to July 24,2022. The MND is provided as Exhibit 5.

Comments Received: The following comments were received by staff during the public review period for the MND.

Department of Toxic Substanse Control - Commenter provides recommendations and requirements regarding potential historic soil contamination and backfill. Comment noted for the record and provided to the applicant.
o
The State CEQA Guidelines have been followed in the evaluation of the environmental effects of this project. Significant environmental impacts were not identified with the project proposal.

Therefore, a MND was prepared for the project. Compliance with the mitigation measures in the MND, local ordinances, state laws, and construction to the standards of the California Building Codes would reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact because of the proposed action. -4-
Environmental Assessment No. 2l'242, General Plan Amendment No. 2l-37, and Zone Change No. 21-70

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could deny the proposed action, and the MND (EA No. 2l-242) would not be adopted, and General Plan Amendment No. 2l-37 and Zone Change No. 21-70 would not be appioved. The site would remain designated by the General Plan and zoned per Shafter Municipal Code as I (Industrial) and BP (Business Park).

Mitigation Measures
Mitigation Measures (included in the proposed project to avoid potentially significant effects) are as follows
Biological Resources lmpact Mitigation Measures

1. Within 14 days of the start of project activities, a pre-activity survey shall be conducted by a qualified biologist knowledgeable in the identification of these species. The pre-activity survey shall include walking transects to identify presence of burrowing owls and their burrows, American badgers and their dens, and San Joaquin kit foxes and their dens' The pre-activity survey shall be walked by no greater than 3O-foot transects for 100 percent coverage of the project site and the 250-foot buffer, where feasible. lf no evidence of these special-status species is detected, no further action is required. lf dens or burrows that could support any of these species are discovered during the preactivity survey conducted under MM 810-L, the avoidance buffers outlined below shall be established. No work would occur within these buffers unless the biologist approves and monitors the activitY.

Burrowing Owl (active burrows)
Nonbreeding season: September 1-January 31- 160 feet
Breeding season: February L - August 31 - 250 feet
2 American Badger and San Joaquin Kit Fox
Potential or Atypical den - 50 feet
Known den - 100 feet
Natal or pupping den - Contact agencies for further guidance

3. The following avoidance and mitigation measures shall be implemented during all phases of the project to reduce the potential for impact from the project. They are modified from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Standardized Recommendations for Protection of the Endangered San Joaquin Kit Fox Prior to or During Ground Disturbance:
o project-related vehicles shall observe a daytime speed limit of 20-mph throughout the site in all project areas, except on County roads and State and federal highways. o All project activities shall occur during daylight hours, but if work must be conducted at night then a night-time construction speed limit of 10-mph should be established. o Off-road traffic outside of designated project areas should be prohibited' o To prevent inadvertent entrapment of kit foxes or other animals during construction of the project, all excavated, steep-walled holes or trenches more than two feet deep shall be covered at the close of each working day by plywood or similar materials. lf the trenches cannot be closed, one or more escape ramps constructed of earthen-fill or wooden planks should be installed.
o Before holes or trenches are filled, they should be thoroughly inspected for trapped animals. lf at any time a trapped or injured kit fox is discovered, the USFWS and the CDFW shall be contacted before proceeding with the work' r ln the case of trapped animals, escape ramps or structures should be installed immediately to allow the animal(s) to escape, or the USFWS and CDFW should be contacted for guida nce.
o All construction pipes, culverts, or similar structures with a diameter of four inches or greater that are stored at a construction site for one or more overnight periods shall be thoroughly inspected for kit foxes and burrowing owls before the pipe is subsequently buried, capped, or otherwise used or moved in any way. lf a kit fox is discovered inside a pipe, that section of pipe shall not be moved until the USFWS has been consulted. lf necessary, and under the direct supervision of the biologist, the pipe may be moved only once to remove it from the path of construction activity, until the fox has escaped. r All food-related trash items such as wrappers, cans, bottles, and food scraps should be disposed of in securely closed containers and removed at least once a week from a construction or Project site.
o No pets, such as dogs or cats, should be permitted on the project site. o project-related use of rodenticides and herbicides should be restricted. o A representative shall be appointed by the project proponent who will be the contact source for any employee or contractor who might inadvertently kill or injure a kit fox or who finds a dead, injured or entrapped kit fox. The representative should be identified a
a
o
o
during the employee education program and their name and telephone number should be provided to the USFWS and CDFW.

Upon completion of the project, all areas subject to temporary ground disturbances (including storage and staging areas, temporary roads, pipeline corridors, etc.) shall be recontoured if necessary, and revegetated to promote restoration of the area to preproject conditions. An area subject to "temporary" disturbance means any area that is disturbed during the project, but after project completion will not be subject to further disturbance and has the potential to be revegetated.

Any project personnel who are responsible for inadvertently killing or injuring one of these species should immediately report the incident to their representative. This representative shall contact the CDFW (and USFWS in the case of San Joaquin kit fox) immediately in the case of a dead, injured or entrapped San Joaquin kit fox, American badger, or western burrowing owl.

The Sacramento Fish and Wildlife office and CDFW Region 4 office shall be notified in writing within three working days of the accidental death or injury to a San Joaquin kit fox during project related activities. The CDFW shall be notified in the case of accidental death to an American badger or western burrowing owl. Notification must include the date, time, and location of the incident or of the finding of a dead or injured animal and any other pertinent information.

New sightings of San Joaquin kit fox, American badger, or western burrowing owl shall be reported to the CNDDB. A copy of the reporting form and a topographic map clearly marked with the location of where a San Joaquin kit fox was observed should also be provided to the USFWS.

4. lf project activities must occur during the nesting season (February 1 to September L5), preactivity nesting bird surveys shall be conducted within seven days prior to the start of construction at the construction site plus a 250-foot buffer for songbirds and a 500-foot buffer for raptors (other than Swainson's hawk). The surveys shall be phased with construction of the project. lf no active nests are found, no further action is required.

However, existing nests may become active and new nests may be built at any time prior to and throughout the nesting season, including when construction activities are in progress. lf active nests are found during the survey or at any time during construction of the project, an avoidance buffer ranging from 50 feet to 500 feet will be required, with the avoidance buffer from any specific nest being determined by a qualified biologist. The avoidance buffer will remain in place until the biologist has determined that the young are no longer reliant on the adults or the nest. Work may occur within the avoidance buffer under the approval and guidance of the biologist, but full-time monitoring will be required. The biologist shall have the ability to stop construction if nesting adults show any sign of distress.

5. lf project activities must occur during the nesting season (February 15 to August 31), preactivity surveys shall be conducted for Swainson's hawk nests in accordance with the Recommended Timing and Methodology for Swainson's Hawk Nesting Surveys in California's CentralValley, Swainson's Hawk Technical Advisory Committee. The surveys will 6 be conducted on the project site plus a o.S-mile buffer. To meet the minimum level of protection for the species, surveys shall be conducted during at least two survey periods' The survey will be conducted in accordance with the methodology outlined in existing protocols and should phased with construction of the project. lf no Swainson's hawk nests are found, no further action is required.
lf an active swainson's hawk nest is discovered at any time within o'S-mile of active construction, a qualified biologist should complete an assessment of the potential for current construction activities to impact the nest. The assessment will consider the type of construction activities, the location of construction relative to the nest, the visibility of construction activities from the nest location, and other existing disturbances in the area that are not related to construction activities of this project. Based on this assessment, the biologist will determine if construction activities can proceed, and the level of nest moniioring required. Construction activities shall not occur within 500 feet of an active nest but depending upon conditions at the site this distance may be reduced. Full-time monitoring to evaluate the effects of construction activities on nesting Swainson's hawks will be required. The qualified biologist shall have the authority to stop work if it is determined that project construction is disturbing the nest. These buffers may need to increase depending on the sensitivity of the nesting Swainson's hawk to disturbances and at the discretion of the qualified biologist.
prior to the initiation of construction activities, all personnel shall attend a Worker Environmental Awareness Training program developed by a qualified biologist. The program shall include information on the life histories of special-status species with potential to occur on the project, their legal status, course of action should these species be encountered on-site, and avoidance and mitigation measures to protect these species.

Cultural Resources lmpact Mitigation Measures
g. lf prehistoric or historic-era cultural materials are encountered during construction activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find and make recommendations. Cultural resource materials may include prehistoric resources such as flaked and ground stone tools and debris, shell, bone, ceramics, and fire-affected rock as well as historic resources such as glass, metal, wood, brick, or structural remnants. lf the qualified archaeologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant cultural resource, additional investigations may be required to mitigate adverse impacts from project implementation' These additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and evaluation or data recovery excavation.
lf human remains are discovered during construction or operational activities, further excavation or disturbance shall be prohibited pursuant to section 7050.5 of the california Health and Safety Code. The specific protocol, guidelines, and channels of communication outlined by the Native American Heritage Commission, in accordance with Section 7050'5 of 7 9
the Health and Safety Code, Section 5097.98 of the Public Resources Code (Chapter L492, Statutes of L982, Senate Bill 2971, and Senate Btl 447 (Chapter 44, Statutes of 1987), shall be followed. Section 7050.5(c) shall guide the potential Native American involvement, in the event of discovery of human remains, at the direction of the county coroner.

Geologv and Soils lmpact Mitigation Measures

10. During site plan review, the applicant shall provide a revised site plan that includes an onsite surface drainage retention basin and/or other capture method (such as vegetated swales) of sufficient capacity to capture all onsite flows and potentially some offsite flows from public streets as required and approved by the City Engineer. The surface drainage collection and retention collection system shall be supported by a drainage study and analysis prepared per City development standards'
1-1. lf any paleontological resources are encountered during ground disturbance activities, all work within 25 feet of the find shall halt until a qualified paleontologist as defined by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Standard Procedures for the Assessment and Mitigation of Adverse lmpacts to Paleontological Resources, can evaluate the find and make recommendations regarding treatment. Paleontological resource materials may include resources such as fossils, plant impressions, or animal tracks preserved in rock. The qualified paleontologist shall contact the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or other appropriate facility regarding any discoveries of paleontological resources. lf the qualified paleontologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant paleontological resource, additional investigations and fossil recovery may be required to mitigate adverse impacts from project implementation. lf avoidance is not feasible, the paleontological resources shall be evaluated for their significance. lf the resources are not significant, avoidance is not necessary. lf the resources are significant, they shall be avoided to ensure no adverse effects, or such effects must be mitigated.

Construction in that area shall not resume until the resource appropriate measures are recommended or the materials are determined to be less than significant. lf the resource is significant and fossil recovery is the identified form of treatment, then the fossil shall be deposited in an accredited and permanent scientific institution. Copies of all correspondence and reports shall be submitted to the Lead Agency.

Hvdrolosv and Water Qualitv lmpact Mitigation Measures

12.Prior to grading permit issuance, the applicant shall receive a water will-serve letter from the City Public Works Director for potable water only (not irrigation water). Said will serve letter will specify the potable water capacity allowed for the project. The fee for said capacity will be per the adopted fee scheduled and due to the City prior to connecting to the City water system.

13. prior to grading permit issuance, the applicant shall receive a sewer will-serve letter from the city public works Director. said will serve letter will specify the sewer collection capacity allowed for the project. The fee for said capacity will be per the adopted fee scheduled and due to the City prior to connecting to the City sewer system'

14. Prior to grading permit issuance, the applicant shall provide the city with a conclusive irrigation water will-serve letter from Shafter-wasco lrrigation District stating that they will provide irrigation water between February and November'

15. During site plan review, the applicant shall provide a revised site plan that includes the location of the existing offsite raw Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District water connection to the existing connection point on city-owned property (APN 089-140-73]'and future conveyance systern to get the raw Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District water to the drywell and filtration unit.

16. During site plan review, the applicant shall provide a revised site plan that includes the location of the existing offsite well and future conveyance system to get the supplemental well water to the drywell and filtration unit'

17. During site plan review, the applicant shall provide a revised site plan that includes a drywell and filtration unit to filter the raw Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District water and supplemental well water prior to being sent through the irrigation system' l-8. Prior to grading permit issuance, the applicant shall provide a comprehensive year-round irrigation plan to be approved by the City Public Works Director. The irrigation plan shall include calculations on conveyance of irrigation water during normal, dry, and multiple dry years as well as provide contingency steps if raw Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District water is reduced or not made available to the site'

of oroiect (descri be the whole action involved, includins but not lim to later 8 Descri nd n
implementation):

The project consists of a requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to allow for the construction of a two-phase recreation and sports park on a 42.4-acJe site located at the northwest corner of East Ash Avenue and Golds Avenue in the City of Shafter (project). The proposed General plan Amendment would change the land use from the existing lndustrial (l) and Business park (BP) land use designations to PS (Parks and Schools) designation' The proposed Zone Change would change the lndustrial (l) and Business Park (BP) zone districts to CF (Community Facilities) zone district.

The project would be developed in two phases. Phase L would include the construction of various recreational fields and courts for baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, and handball, as well as children's playground and barbecue areas totaling approximately 20 acres. Phase 1 would also include a 340-square-foot restroom, a 1,300-square-foot concession stand with restroom, a 1",000-square-foot storage building, one 720-square-foot office, and three parking areas composed of 336 parking spaces.
phase 2 would include the construction of various recreational features and courts such as an outdoor gym, tennis/pickle ball courts, kids fit course, dog-park, barbecue area, and track field. phase 2 would also include the construction of a26,725-square-foot gym/multi-purpose room, a 1,500-square-foot shop, a 1,000-square-foot restroom, maintenance yard, and 2-parking areas composed of 388 parking spaces. Street construction included in Phase 2 would include the remaining portion of the access road along the north and west boundaries of the park. An on-site retention basin, sized per a drainage study reviewed and approved by the City Engineer, would also be developed at the site. Additionally, an on-site drywell and filtration unit would also be developed to filter raw irrigation water provided by the Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District and supplemented by an offsite water well (see below)'
Both phase 1 and Phase 2 of the project would include the installation of lighting on poles up to 80 feet tall. The lighting at the sports amenities would utilize mechanics and directional design that would prevent light from bleeding over onto adjacent residences during recreational events occurring during evening hours. The anticipated closing time of the park would be 10:00 p.m. in compliance with Shafter Municipal Code Section L2.32.O4O.j. The conceptual site plan for both phases of the proposed improvements is attached to this document.

Offsite improvements are not shown on the conceptual site plan attached to this document.

Offsite improvements incl ude :
o Connection to existing potable water system at East Ash Avenue or a future waterline to be constructed within Golds Avenue. This connection would be for potable water only and the supplied potable water is not to be used for irrigation. o Connection to existing sewer service located along East Ash Avenue. r Connection to the SWID system via an existing outlet located on adjacent City property (ApN 089-i.40-73) to supply irrigation water to the site February through November. o Connection to existing water well from three possible nearby wells. Two of these wells are private and one is on City-owned property.
o Construction of a gravity sewer within the access road on the west and north sides of the park with a point of connection to the existing sewer system within East Ash Avenue. This sewer is meant to serve the commercial lots between the proposed park and Lerdo Highway. Construction of this public facility would be completed before or concurrently with Phase 1. Note: Since the park does not benefit from a new sewer, the sewer's construction would be on the City of Shafter to design and install.

9. Surrounding land uses and setting:

The site is surrounded by residential to the north, industrial to the west and south, and oil production and cultivated farmland to the east.

EVALUATION OF ENVI RON M ENTAL I M PACTS
L. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No lmpact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No lmpact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No lmpact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e'g', the pioject would not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analYsis).

2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as onsite, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.

3. once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist .nr*"i, must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant lmpact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant' lf there are one or more ,'potentially Significant lmpact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4. ,,Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation lncorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially significant lmpact,,to a "Less Than Significant lmpact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be crossreferenced).

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program ElR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration' Section 15063(cX3)(D). ln this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. ldentify and state where they are available for review. b) lmpacts Adequately Addressed. ldentify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis'
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than significant with Mitigation Measures lncorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address sitespecific conditions for the project' G. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated'

7. Suppoiting lnformation Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. g. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected.

9. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE
Aesthetics
Evaluation of Environm I Effects
a) Less than sisnificant impact. The project proposes a future public park on 42.4 acres. The project site is located on undeveloped land with business park and industrial land use designations and zoning. There are several residences located north of the project site.

There is industrial development west and south of the project site, including the Shafter public Works Department office and yard and the now-closed Shafter Modified Community Correctional Facility. The areas southeast and northeast of the project site include irrigated fields, either fallow or vegetated with alfalfa. East of the project site, the land has been cleared and there are five active oil pumping units.

According to the City of Shafter General Plan, the site is not within or in the vicinity of an identified scenic vista, and no known aesthetic resources exist on or near the site. The project does not lie near or within a State Designated or Eligible State Scenic Highway (Caltrans 2O2Ol. Furthermore, development of the project would not block or preclude views to any area containing important or what would be considered visually appealing landforms. The project does not include the removal of trees determined to be scenic or of scenic value, the destruction of rock outcroppings or degradation of any historic building(s)' Therefore, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista.

b) No impact. Please see response to a. above. Therefore, the project would not substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcrops, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway.
c) Less than sisnificant oact. The project is in an area with residential to the north, industrial to the west and south, and oil production to the east. The project would be visible from passing motorists and the surrounding residential communities. Changes to the visual quality and character of the project site would be compatible with the nearby residential development and include landscaping improvements that would enhance the visual character of the area. The park will be relatively open, with park amenities for use by City residents. Therefore, the project would not substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings in a non-urban area or conflict with the applicable zoning or other regulations governing scenic quality in an urban area. d) Less than sienificant impact. The project will be developed in two phases' Construction of the proposed project would generally occur during daytime hours, typically from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. All lighting would be directed downward and shielded to focus illumination on the desired work areas only and prevent light spillage onto adjacent properties. Because lighting used to illuminate work areas would be shielded, focused downward, and turned off by 7:00 p.m., the potential for lighting to affect any residents adversely is minimal. lncreased truck traffic and the transport of construction materials to the project site would temporarily increase glare conditions during construction. However, this increase in glare would be minimal. Construction activity would focus on specific areas on the sites, and any sources of glare would not be stationary for a prolonged period.

The proposed baseball, softball, and soccer practice and game schedules indicates that sports field will be utilized by sports teams every day during the months of February through September. The schedule also indicates that practice and game times will end by 10:00 p.m. throughout the year. Therefore, it is anticipated that park nighttime-lighting will be used for a few hours during the evenings, especially in the winter months.

Lighting at the sports amenities will be located on poles up to 80 feet tall. All lighting would be directed downward and shielded to focus illumination on the sports fields only and prevent light spillage onto off-site properties. Because lighting used to illuminate the sports fields, will be focused downward, and turned off by 10:00 p.m., the potential for lighting to affect any residents adversely is minimal. Furthermore, the project would be designed and improved with all applicable policies and regulations, including those that require development within proximity to residential areas to provide buffers, along with appropriate setbacks, landscaping, and screening to minimize light and glare impacts.

Therefore, the project would not create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area.

ln determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (Lgg7) prepared by the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. ln determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project:
a) convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide lmportance (Farmland), as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the california Resources Agency, to nonagricultural use? tr
b) conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a williamson Act contract? n
c) conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(gD, timberland (as defined by Public Resources code section 45261, or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(e))? tr
d) Result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? tr
e) lnvolve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to nonforest use? lmpact

D D
CEeA uses the California Department of Conservation Division of Land Resource Protection's Farmland Mapping project (FMMP) categories of "Prime Farmland," "Farmland of Statewide lmportance," and "Unique Farmland" to define "agricultural land" for the purposes of assessing environmental impacts (PRC Section 21060.1[a]). The project site is designated as "Grazing Land" and "Vacant or Disturbed Land" (DOC 2020)' The project site is not designated as Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide lmportance, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Local lmportance. Additionally, the project and surrounding area is currently zoned for nonagricultural uses. Therefore, the project would not significantly convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide I m portance (Farm land) to non-agricultural use.
b) No impact. The 42.4-acre vacant project site has business park and industrial land use and zoning designations, and is surrounded by residential uses to the north, industrial uses to the west and south, and oil production and cultivated farmland to the east. The proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment from lndustrial and Business Park to Parks & Schools, and a Zone Change from lndustrial and Business Park to Community Facilities' Neither the project site nor the parcels adjacent to its boundary are subject to williamson Act contracts. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract.
c) No impact. The Public Resources Code Section I222O (g) and Section 4526 defines "forest land" as land that can supportLO% native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits. There are no forest lands identified on the project site or within its vicinity. Therefore, the project would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of forest land or timberland, or timberland zoned Timberland Production. d) No impact. Please see response to c. above. Therefore, the project would not result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest. e) No impact. Please see responses to a. through d. above. Therefore, the project would not involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use.

a) Less than sisnificant impact. State CEQA Guidelines and the Federal Clean Air Act (Sections L76 and 316) contain specific references on the need to evaluate consistencies between the proposed project and the applicable Air Quality Attainment Plan (AQAP)for the project site.

To accomplish this, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has developed a three-step approach to determine project conformity with the applicable AQAP:
1,. Determination that an AQAP is being implemented in the area where the project is being proposed. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) has implemented the current, modified AQAP as approved by CARB.

2. The proposed project must be consistent with the growth assumptions of the applicable AQAP. The proposed project land use type was not anticipated in the current growth assumptions. Therefore, growth assumptions in the adopted 2005 City of Shafter General Plan Update will be modified with the approval of the proposed project.

3. The project must contain in its design all reasonably available and feasible air quality control measures. The proposed project incorporates various policy and rulerequired implementation measures that will reduce related emissions.

The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) and AQAP identify transportation control measures as methods to further reduce emissions from mobile sources. Strategies identified to reduce vehicular emissions such as reductions in vehicle trips, vehicle use, vehicle miles traveled, Potentially

vehicle idling, and traffic congestion, to reduce vehicular emissions, can be implemented as control measures under the CCAA as well. Additional measures may also be implemented through the building process such as providing electrical outlets on exterior walls of structures to encourage use of electrical landscape maintenance equipment or measures such as electrical outlets for electrical systems on diesel trucks to reduce or eliminate idling time.

As the growth represented by the proposed project will be updated in the adopted 2005 City of Shafter General Plan Update and incorporated into the AQAP, conclusions may be drawn from the following criteria:
o That, by definition, the proposed emissions from the project are below the SJVAPCD's established emissions impact thresholds and
That the primary source of emissions from the project will be motor vehicles that are licensed through the State of California and whose emissions are already incorporated into CARB's San Joaquin Valley Emissions lnventory.

Based on these factors, the project is consistent with the AQAP The Kern Council of Governments (Kern COG) Regional Conformity Analysis determination demonstrates that the regional transportation expenditure plans (Destination 2042 Regional Transportation Plan and Federal Transportation lmprovement Program) in the Kern County portion of the San Joaquin Valley air quality attainment areas would not hinder the efforts set out in CARB's SIP for each area's nonattainment pollutants [carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM10)1. The analysis uses an adopted regional growth forecast, governed by both the adopted Kern COG Policy and procedure Manual and a Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Kern and Kern COG (representing itself and outlying municipal member agencies).

The Kern COG Regional Conformity Analysis considers General Plan Amendments (GPA) and Zone Changes that were enacted at the time of the analysis as projected growth within the area based on land use designations incorporated within the adopted 2005 City of Shafter General Plan. Land use designations that are altered based on subsequent GPAs that were not included in the Regional Conformity Analysis were not incorporated into the Kern COG analysis. Consequently, if a proposed project is not included in the regional growth forecast using the latest planning assumptions, it may not be said to conform to the regional growth forecast. Under the current City of Shafter Zoning, the project site is designated as "lndustrial" and "Business Park."
Item 2 under Section 3 - Model Maintenance Procedure, of the Kern COG Regional Transportation Modeling Policy and Procedure Manual states "Land Use Data - General plan land capacity data" or "Build-out capacity" is used to distribute the forecasted County a
totals, and may be updated as new information becomes available, and is revised in regular consultation with local planning departments'"
Under current policies, only after a GPA is approved, can housing and employment assumptions be updated to reflect the capacity changes. Since the proposed development does require a GPA and Zone Change, the existing growth forecast will be modified to reflect these changes. To determine whether the forecasted growth for the project area is sufficient to account for the projected increases in employment, an analysis based on Kern COG regional forecast was conducted.

The adopted growth forecast for the project site is distributed to Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ). To evaluate the impacts to the proposed project area, a one-mile radius analysis was conducted that included TAZs 48O, 485, 486, 487 , 488, 490,653, 655, 794,gLL, 1651', 1652' 1653, and 1657. This places the project site at the center of the analysis area and provides a conservative evaluation of the TAZ data. Kern COG has predicted an increase in growth in population (3%l,an increase in growth in housing (a%land an increase in employment (5%) between 2OL7 and 2020. Employment forecast for the TAZ analysis area appears to be sufficient to account for LOOo/o of the planned employment growth attributed to the proposed project. To be considered "consistent" and, therefore, in conformance with the AeAp, these increases would need to occur over the same time as the adopted growth forecast. From 2OL7 through 2020, L27 new jobs are forecast to be added to the analysis area.

The following table provides the projected growth rates for the TAZ analysis area. lnsight 2019.

The following table provides the percent increase/decrease for the analysis area population, households, and emPloyment.

As the estimated construction and operational emissions from the project would be less than significant, no specific mitigation measures would be required. However, to ensure TAZ Area Growth

that the project follows all applicable SJVAPCD rules and regulations, and emissions are further reduced, the applicant should implement and comply with several measures that are either recommended as a "good operating practice" for environmental stewardship or they are required by regulation. Some of the listed measures are regulatory requirements or construction requirements that would result in further emission reductions through their inclusion in project construction and long-term design. The following measures either have been applied to the project through the CalEEMod model and would be incorporated into the project by design or would be implemented in conjunction with SJVAPCD rules as conditions of approval.

As the project would be completed in compliance with SJVAPCD Regulation Vlll, dust control measures would be taken to ensure compliance specifically during grading and construction phases. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan.
b) Less than sisnificant impact. Under SJVAPCD's Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air euality lmpacts (GAMAQI), any project that would have individually significant air quality impacts would also be considered to have significant cumulative air quality impacts.

The most recent, certified San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) Emission lnventory data available from the SJVAPCD is based on data gathered for the 2015 annual inventory. This data will be used to assist the SJVAPCD in demonstrating attainment of federal L-hour 03 standards (SJVAPCD 2015). The following table provides a comparative look at the impacts proposed by the proposed project to the SJVAB Emissions lnventory. lnsight 2019.

The following three tables provide CARB Emissions lnventory projections for the year 2020 for both the SJVAB and the Kern County portion of the air basin. Looking at the SJVAB Emissions predicted by the CARB year 2020 emissions inventory, the Kern County portion of the air basin is a moderate source of the emissions. The proposed project produces a small portion of the total emissions in both Kern County and the entire SJVAB. rative Based on SJV Air Basin 2015 lnvento - Tons Year

As shown above, the project would pose an inconsequential impact on regional 03 and pMlO formation. Because the regional contribution to these cumulative impacts would be negligible, the project would not be considered cumulatively considerable in its contribution to regional 03 and PM10 imPacts.

A review of the City of Shafter tentative projects indicates that there are 32 other planned developments found within a 6-mile radius of the project. The listings provided below in following tables is only a geographical reference to demonstrate the construction activity in the project vicinity. The number or size of these projects is of no particular significance since no "cumulative" emissions thresholds have been established by the SJVAPCD or the City. 2020 Emissions Proiections - Proposed proiect, Kern Counw, and SJVAB ROG NOX PMlO

No mitigation measures were applied to any of the projects as it is not known which, if any, would be required or which may be voluntarily proposed by each developer or required by code or regulation. Additionally, no cumulative significance thresholds are shown since no cumulative thresholds have been established by the SJVAPCD, CARB, or other regulatory authority. These projects represent all known and reasonably foreseeable projects in the area. As these projects either are currently under construction or, at a minimum, approved by the City of Shafter Planning Department for consistency with applicable regulation, for the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that they are in conformance with the regional AeAp. Because the proposed project would generate less than significant project related operational impacts to criteria air pollutants, the project's contribution to cumulative air quality impacts would not be cumulatively significant.

The GAMAQI also states that when evaluating potential impacts related to Hazardous Air pollutants (HAPs), "impacts of local pollutants (CO, HAPs) are cumulatively significant when modeling shows that the combined emissions from the project and other existing and planned projects will exceed air quality standards." Because the project would not be a significant source of HAPs, the project would also not be expected to pose a significant cumulative CO or HAPs imPact.

The SJVApCD,s GAMAeI has identified CO impacts from impacted traffic intersections and roadway segments as being potentially cumulatively considerable. Traffic increases and added congestion caused by a project can combine to cause a violation of the SJVAPCD's CO standard also known as a "Hotspot." There are two criteria established by the GAMAQI by which CO "Hotspot" modeling is required:

A traffic study for the project indicates that the Level of Service (LOS) on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity will be reduced to LOS E or F; or
a
a A traffic study indicates that the project will substantially worsen an already existing LOS F on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity.

According to the project proponent, at the time of this analysis no traffic generation assessment impact study was prepared for this project. However, due to the location and traffic increase anticipated from this project, impacted intersections and roadway segments are anticipated to operate at a LOS of C or better. Therefore, CO "Hotspot" modeling was not conducted for this project and no concentrated excessive CO emissions are expected to be caused once the proposed project is completed'
Therefore, the project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.
c) Less than significant impact. Sensitive receptors are defined as locations where young children, chronically ill individuals, the elderly, or people who are more sensitive than the general population reside, such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and daycare centers.

The nearest residential sensitive receptor to the proposed project site is 0.03 miles north of the project. The nine known nonresidential sensitive receptors within 2 miles of the project site are listed below in the following table.

Visibility impact analyses are intended for stationary sources of emissions which are subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements in 40 CFR Part 60; they are not usually conducted for area sources. Because the project's PML0 emissions increase is predicted to be less than the PSD threshold levels, an impact at any Class l area or military/airspace operation within 100 kilometers of the project (including San Rafael Wilderness, Domeland Wilderness, and Sequoia National Park) is extremely unlikely' Therefore, based on the project's predicted less-than-significant PM10 emissions, the project would be expected to have a less-than-significant impact to visibility at any Class 1 area or military/airspace operation.

Ambient CO concentrations normally correspond closely to the spatial and temporal distributions of vehicular traffic. Relatively high concentrations of CO would be expected along heavily traveled roads and near busy intersections. CO concentrations are also influenced by wind speed and atmospheric mixing. CO concentrations may be more uniformly distributed when inversion conditions are prevalent in the valley. Under certain meteorological conditions, CO concentrations along a congested roadway or intersection may reach unhealthful levels for sensitive receptors, e.g. children, the elderly, hospital patients, etc. This localized impact can result in elevated levels of CO, or "hotspots" even though concentrations at the closest air quality monitoring station may be below National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and California Ambient Air Quality Standards (cAAQS).

The localized project impacts depend on whether ambient CO levels in the project vicinity would be above or below NAAQS. lf ambient levels are below the standards, a project is considered to have significant impacts if a project's emissions would exceed of one or more of these standards. lf ambient levels already exceed a State standard, a project's emissions are considered significant if they would increase one-hour CO concentrations by 10 ppm or more or eight-hour CO concentrations by 0.45 ppm or more. There are two criteria established by the SJVAPCD's GAMAQI by which CO "Hotspot" modeling is required:

L. A traffic study for the project indicates that the Level of Service (LOS) on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity would be reduced to LOS E or F; or
Z. A traffic study indicates that the project would substantially worsen an already existing LOS F on one or more streets or at one or more intersections in the project vicinity.

According to the project proponent, at the time of the Air Quality analysis was prepared no traffic generation assessment impact study was prepared for this project' However, due to the location and traffic increase anticipated from this project, impacted intersections and roadway segments are anticipated to operate at a LOS of C or better. Therefore, CO "Hotspot" modeling was not conducted for this project and no concentrated excessive CO emissions are expected to be caused once the proposed project is completed.

GAMAeI recommends that Lead Agencies consider situations wherein a new or modified source of HAPs is proposed for a location near an existing residential area or other sensitive receptor when evaluating potential impacts related to HAPs.

The proposed project would not result in a significant increase in operational emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) because there will be little to no increase in heavy duty truck travel associated with the project; therefore, an assessment of the potential risk to the population attributable to emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the proposed project is not required.
potential risk to the population attributable to emissions of HAPs from the proposed project would be less than significant and therefore, the project would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations'
d) Less than sienificant impact. The SJVAPCD's GAMAQI states "An analysis of potential odor impacts should be conducted for both of the following two situations:

L. Generators - projects that would potentially generate odorous emissions proposed to locate near existing sensitive receptors or other land uses where people may congregate and

2. Receivers - residential or other sensitive receptor projects or other projects built for the intent of attracting people locating near existing odor sources.

The GAMAQI also states, "The District has identified some common types of facilities that have been known to produce odors in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. These are presented in Table 6 (Screening Levels for Potential Odor Sources), along with a reasonable distance from the source within which, the degree of odors could possibly be significant. lTable 6] can be used as a screening tool to qualitatively assess a project's potential to adversely affect area receptors" (sJVAPCD 2015). The project is a city park and the anticipated activities for the project site are not listed in Table 6 of the GAMAQI as a source that would create objectionable odors. Therefore, the project would not create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people'

Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than sisnificant with mitigation incorporated. The following analysis in this section are based on a Biological Analysis Report (QK 2019). Reviews of agency-maintained databases were conducted to determine the potential presence of sensitive biological resources and special-status species. The results indicated that seven special-status plant species and 2L special-status wildlife species have the potential to occur in the vicinity of the project. The reconnaissance-level field survey was conducted to identify sensitive biological resources on-site and to document the suitability of the habitat on the project to support specialstatus species.

No special-status plant species have potential to occur within the biological study area (BSA) because of existing habitat and soil conditions'

Most of the BSA is highly disturbed, but it does contain suitable burrowing and foraging habitat. No burrowing owl individuals, burrows, or other sign of the species were observed during the reconnaissance survey, but the species is present in the region year-round and individuals may travel from burrow to burrow periodically. lt is possible for a transient burrowing owl to inhabit the project site at any time. Direct and/or indirect impacts to burrowing owl could occur if there is an active burrow within the BSA during the period of construction activities. Construction activities could result in crushing or destroying a burrow with a burrowing owl inside. Noise and vibration from the project construction activities could alter the daily behaviors of individual owls and effect foraging activities or rearing of young.

There is no positive evidence that Swainson's hawk is present within the BSA. The project supports marginal foraging habitat with a meager prey base, although hawks may forage in alfalfa fields east of the project. Any loss of the low-quality foraging habitat present on the project would be an indirect impact to the species. There do not appear to be any suitable nesting trees within a half mile of the project so direct impacts to the species are unlikely.

Horned larks were observed on the project during the reconnaissance survey, although they could not be identified to subspecies. The project and portions of the survey buffer provide suitable nesting and foraging habitat for this ground-nesting species. Ground-disturbing project activities would destroy nesting habitat and could lead to the destruction of California horned lark nests. Construction-related vibration, noise, and dust production, and human presence could alter the normal behaviors of nesting California horned larks in the vicinity of the project and lead to nest failure. Loss of foraging habitat would be an indirect impact for the sPecies.

There is no positive evidence that the American badger is present within the BSA, but lowquality denning and foraging habitat exists. Because this species is highly mobile, this species may be present on the site as a transient forager. Direct impacts could include injury or death of individuals, or entrapment in trenches or pipes. Noise, vibration, and the presence of construction workers could alter normal behaviors if badgers are present, which could affect reproductive success. lncreased human presence at the community park following project completion could indirectly impact American badger by deterring them from denning or foraging in the vicinity of the project. Loss of foraging habitat would also indirectly impact the sPecies.

There is no positive evidence that the San Joaquin kit fox is present within the BSA, but suitable denning and foraging habitat exists within the BSA, and the species is known to inhabit the region and is highly adaptable to urban environments. Because this species is hiehly mobile, it may be present from time to time on the project site as a transient forager or part-time resident. Direct impacts resulting in injury, death, or entrapment in trenches or pipes could occur if a fox travels into the construction area. Noise, vibration, and the presence of construction workers may alter normal behaviors, which could affect reproductive success. Loss of foraging habitat could indirectly affect the species. After the project is completed, accumulated food-related trash may attract foxes to the park, which could lead to an increase in human interactions'
The BSA contains suitable habitat for a wide variety of nesting native bird species' The project itself would support only ground-nesting species such as horned lark' killdeer (charadrius vociferous),and northern harrier (circus hudsonius), and this habitat is relatively low quality. Ground-disturbing project activities could lead to the destruction of nests of ground-nesting birds. Construction-related vibration, noise, and dust production' and human presence could alter the normal behaviors of nesting birds in the vicinity of the project and lead to nest failure. The project would also result in the loss of marginal ground nesting and forage habitat. lncreased human presence at the completed community park could indirectly impact nesting native birds by deterring them from nesting or foraging in the vicinitY of the Project.

The limited disturbance footprint for this project and the short duration of activities at any given location, coupled with implementation of the mitigation measures listed below would reduce impacts of the project to special-status wildlife species to level that would be less than significant. Mitigation measures are recommended to avoid and minimize impacts to the western burrowing owl, swainson's hawk, california horned lark, San Joaquin kit fox, and nesting birds. With implementation of mitigation, the project would not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans' policies, or regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS'
b) No impact. The database and literature review identified one sensitive plant communities within 10 miles of the project site, Valley saltbush scrub. The nearest cNDDB occurrence (EONDX 28906) is appioximately 3.7 miles southwest of the project. No sensitive plant community occurs within the BSA because all lands in the vicinity have been developed for urban and agricultural uses. The project does not overlap with any federally designated critical habitats. Critical habitatfor Buena Vista Lake Ornate Shrew (sorexornatus relictus)is located approximately 14 miles southwest of the project site. The project does not support any riparian or other sensitive natural communities, nor does it overlap with any designated critical habitat. Therefore, the project would have no impact on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community'
c) No impact. A formal delineation of waters of the U.s. and waters of the state was not conducted for this project and a delineation was not warranted. A search of the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and National Wetlands lnventory (NWl) databases showed that there are no jurisdictional waterways or wetlands within the BSA, and no temporary or permanent bodies of water or waterways occur within the BSA.

There are no wetlands or water features on or in the vicinity of the project' The project would have no impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and no mitigation measures are warranted. Therefore, the project would have no impact on federally protected wetlands' d) Less than sienificant impact. Wildlife movement corridors, also referred to as dispersal corridors or landscape linkages, are generally defined as linear features along which animals can travel from one habitat or resource area to another. Wildlife movement corridors can be large tracts of land that connect regionally important habitats that support wildlife in general, such as stop-over habitat that supports migrating birds or large contiguous natural habitats that support animals with very large home ranges [e.g., coyotes (Conis latrans), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus colifornicus)]. They can also be small scale movement corridors, such as riparian zones, that provide connectivity and cover to support movement at a local scale.

The project is not located within any identified wildlife linkages or corridors identified by the California Essential Habitat Connectivity project. No potential wildlife corridors occur within the BSA.

The project is not located within a mapped wildlife movement corridor or linkage and none were observed during the survey. The project would not have any impacts to wildlife movement corridors. Therefore, the project would not interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with an established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites.
e) No impact. The project does not conflict with the adopted 2005 City of Shafter General Plan Update and is not subject to any local ordinances. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. f) No impact. The project is within the range of the PG&E San Joaquin Valley Operations and Maintenance Habitat Conservation Plan, but this Plan applies only to PG&E operations and maintenance projects and does not apply to this project. Therefore, the project would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan.

Cultural Resources
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. An archival records search was conducted at the California State University, Bakersfield, Southern San Joaquin Valley Archaeological lnformation Center (AlC), by AIC staff members to determine: (1) if prehistoric or historical archaeological sites had previously been recorded within the study area; (2) if the project area had been systematically surveyed by archaeologists prior to the initiation of this field study; and/or (3) whether the region of the field project was known to contain archaeological sites and to thereby be archaeologically sensitive (ASM 2019). The results of this archival records search are summarized here.

According to the AIC records search, no previous studies have occurred in the study area and no cultural resources are known to exist within it. Four previous surveys, however, have been completed within 0.5 miles of the study area.

As a result of these studies, one historical resource - a segment of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (P-L5-000560) - was recorded within 0.5 miles of the study area' According to a records search of the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) Sacred Lands Files, no tribal cultural resources are known within or in the vicinity of the proposed project. Outreach letters were sent to tribal organizations on the NAHC contact list' No information on tribal cultural resources or sacred places were received as responses. ln addition to the records search, historic maps were examined to determine whether historical development had occurred within the APE. These included Google Earth, historic aerial photography, and the earliest available Rio Bravo USGS topographical quadrangles dating back to L931. According to these maps, only an unnamed linear dirt road, which no longer exists, was known to bisect the project area. Multiple reservoirs and small structures appear near the study area by 1931 and 1954; however, these no longer exist. No structures or development within the project are shown on any of these information sources.

An intensive Phase I survey of the 42.4-acres project study area was conducted. The field methods employed included intensive pedestrian examination of the ground surface for evidence of archaeological sites in the form of artifacts, surface features (such as bedrock mortars, historical mining equipment), and archaeological indicators (e'g., organically enriched midden soil, burnt animal bone, refuse dumps); the identification and location of any discovered sites, should they be presen| tabulation and recording of surface diagnostic artifacts; site sketch mapping using a Trimble GEOEXPLORER 6000 Series GPS with submeter accuracy; preliminary evaluation of site integrity; and site recording, following the California Office of Historic Preservation lnstructions for Recording Historic Resources and the BLM 8100 Manual, using DPR 523 forms.

The survey was conducted by walking parallel transects across the 42.4-acres project area, spaced at 15-meter intervals. Visibility was excellent throughout the entire project' The project site consisted of undeveloped former agricultural land bordered by paved roads and private property. One dirt road, East Ash Avenue, bisects the project area along its approximate center. A low-density cover of grass was present in some portions; however, visibility was excellent throughout the entire project and adequate for Phase I survey coverage. No cultural resources of any kind were identified within the Shafter community or project area.

However, there is still the potential to unearth previously unknown historical resources at the site and grading and other ground-disturbing activities have the potential to damage or destroy such resources. Mitigation requires prehistoric or historic-era cultural materials are encountered during construction activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find and make recommendations. lf the qualified archaeologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant cultural resource, additional investigations may be required, and these additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and evaluation or data recovery excavation. With mitigation, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
b) Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. Please refer to response a. above. On September ZL,2O2L pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.3.1 and Government Code Section 65300 et seq, letters were sent to each of the 25 Native American tribes within the geographic area as identified by the NAHC. The letters included a project description and location maps. Outreach letters were sent to tribal organizations on the NAHC contact list. No information on tribal cultural resources or sacred places were received as responses. Additionally, the project would only require minimal ground disturbance related to the construction of walls and fences on already graded ground.

However, there is still the potential to unearth previously unknown archeological resources at the site and grading and other ground-disturbing activities have the potential to damage or destroy such resources. Mitigation requires prehistoric or historic-era cultural materials are encountered during construction activities, all work in the immediate vicinity of the find shall halt until a qualified archaeologist can evaluate the find and make recommendations' lf the qualified archaeologist determines that the discovery represents a potentially significant cultural resource, additional investigations may be required, and these additional studies may include avoidance, testing, and evaluation or data recovery excavation' c) Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. The Phase I Survey of Cultural Resources confirmed that no cultural resources of any kind were identified within the project area.

There are no known cemeteries or burials on or near the project. Although unlikely, subsurface construction activities, such as trenching and grading, associated with the proposed project could potentially disturb previously undiscovered human burial sites.

Accordingly, this is a potentially significant impact. Although considered unlikely, subsurface construction activities could cause a potentially significant impact to previously undiscovered human burial sites. The cultural resources and Sacred Lands File records searches did not indicate the presence of human remains, burials, or cemeteries within or in the vicinity of the Project site.

No human remains have been discovered at the project site, and no burials or cemeteries are known to occur within the area of the site. However, construction would involve earthdisturbing activities, and it is still possible that human remains may be discovered, possibly in association with archaeological sites. lmplementation of mitigation that included immediately ceasing work and contacting the County coroner and Native American tribal representatives, if needed, would ensure that the proposed project would not directly or indirectly destroy previously unknown human remains. With mitigation, the project would not disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of dedicated cemeteries.

Energy
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than significant impact. Energy usage for construction and operations were developed using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) output files. Project energy consumption levels were estimated for both construction and operations scenarios. These estimates include: (L) fuel use for construction off-road equipment and construction onroad vehicles; (2) fuel use from vehicle trips generated by the project operations; (3) operational natural gas estimates; and (4) operational electricity estimates. Typically, there would be a significant energy impact if the increase in demand for electricity or gas would impact the current capacities of the electric and natural gas utilities. The following table gives estimate of square footage of the park and associated parking lot' lnsight 2019.

Estimates of average daily traffic (ADT) volumes generated by the park are presented in the tables below. Estimates of additional heavy trucks and employees attributable to the expansion were provided by the applicant. Both the heavy truck and employee ADT estimates account for incoming and outgoing trips'
The estimates supplied were the anticipated trucks per month and year for each category' lt was assumed from the information that the trips would be evenly spread through the month and therefore, would be a maximum of one additional truck per day for each category. This would equate to two trips (inbound and outbound) for each category of delivery.

energy efficiency and materials requirements, to reduce environmental impact through better planning, design, and construction practices which are enforced at the City level.

Based on the project gas and electricity consumption estimates summarized above in tables above, the table below summarizes relative project energy impacts compared to Kern County 2019 usage. The proposed project would generate substantially less than L% of the County's usage.
lnsight 2019.

The project's relative consumption would be minimal, and less than L/1000th of 1% of the County,s usage, which is considered insignificant. The project would not require any increase in annualconsumption rates of fuel, electricity, and gas. Therefore, naturalgas and electricity providers would not need to extend distribution networks and support facilities to serve the proposed project. Therefore, the project would not result in impacts due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources' b) Less than sienificant impact. The project must comply with Title 24, chapter 4 of the California Creen guilding Standards Code for residential development and Part 6, of the california Energy code (cEC) the california code of Regulations (ccR), Title 20 with adoptions of the California Energy Commission'
The proposed project would result in the construction of a two-phase recreation and sports park on a vacant 42.4-acre site. Energy saving strategies will be implemented where feasible to reduce the project's energy consumption during the construction and post-construction phases. Strategies being implemented include those recommended by CARB that may reduce both the project's construction energy consumption, including diesel anti-idling measures, light-duty vehicle technology, usage of alternative fuels such as biodiesel blends and ethanol, and heavy-duty vehicle design measures to reduce energy consumption.

Additionally, as outlined in the SJVAPCD's GAMAQI, the project includes recommendations to reduce energy consumption by shutting down equipment when not in use for extended periods, limiting the usage of construction equipment to eight cumulative hours per day, usage of electric equipment for construction whenever possible in lieu of diesel or gasoline powered equipment, and encouragement of employees to carpool to retail establishments or to remain on-site during lunch breaks'
The project will also incorporate energy saving design features as outlined in the 201-9 California Green Building Standards Code to offset energy consumption and costs' ln Summa of Consum

The project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Per the Department of Conservation, California Geologic Survey Regulatory Maps (DOC 2O2O), the nearest fault line is the North of Oildale premier fault, which lies approximately 1L miles east of the project site. The greatest potential for substantial geologic adverse effects in the City is posed by the San Andres Fault, which is located approximately 4 miles west of the Kings County boundary line within Monterey County. The distance from the nearest active faults precludes the possibility of fault rupture on the project site. Although the project area could potentially experience ground shaking, the magnitude of the hazard would not be severe as indicated by the General plan and project construction will comply with the applicable local and State requirements. Therefore, the project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving rupture of a known earthquake fault'
ll Less than sisn ificant imoact. See response to a. above. The City is surrounded on three sides by active fault systems, several of which are less than l-0 miles from the City boundaries. ln addition, there are faults outside the San Joaquin Valley, but close enough that a major earthquake could affect Shafter. The General Plan policy

7.1.1. requires that all new developments comply with the most recent Uniform Building Code's seismic design standards.

The project site lies within the vicinity of five earthquake fault lines - North of Oildale, Oildale, Pond, Oil Center, and Rio Bravo Ranch. Given the high seismicity of the southern San Joaquin Valley region, moderate to severe ground shaking associated with earthquakes on the nearby faults can be expected within the project area and throughout Kern County. ln the event of an earthquake on one of the nearby faults, it is likely that the project would experience ground shaking.

While such seismic shaking would be less severe from an earthquake that originates at a greater distance from the project site, the side effects could potentially be damaging to the recreation park's structures and supporting infrastructure' The project is required to design structures and infrastructure to withstand substantial ground shaking in accordance with all applicable State law and applicable codes included in the California Building Code (CBC) Title 24 for earthquake construction standards and building standards code including those relating to soil characteristics.

The project shall adhere to all applicable local and State regulations to reduce any potentially significant impacts to structures resulting from strong seismic ground shaking at the project site. Therefore, the project would not directly or indirectly cause potential substantial effects, including the risk of ,loss, injury, or death involving strong seismic ground shaking.
iii. Less than significant impact. Liquefaction is defined as a phenomenon where earthquake-induced ground vibrations increase the pore pressure in saturated, granular soils until it is equal to the confining, overburden pressure. When this occurs, the soil can completely lose its shear strength and enter a liquefied state' The possibility of liquefaction is dependent upon grain size, relative density, confining pressure, saturation of the soils, and intensity and duration of ground shaking. For liquefaction to occur, three criteria must be met: "low density," coarsegrained (sandy) soils, a groundwater depth of less than about 50 feet, and a potential for seismic shaking from nearby large magnitude earthquake.

The project subsurface area soils generally consist of Lewkalb and Wasco sandy loam, with permeability and low permeability layers continuous beneath the site.

The depth-to-groundwater at the site is greater than 250 feet below ground surface (bgs), and the site is in an area of minimal rainfall (AEC 20L8). Because the depth of the groundwater at the project site is much greater than 50 feet, there is a negligible risk of liquefaction occurring at the project site during a seismic event.

Structures constructed as part of the project would be required by State law to be constructed in accordance with all applicable IBC CBC, Title 24 construction standards. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction.
iv. No impact. The project site is located on the floor of the San Joaquin Valley, west of the Sierra Nevada foothills. The topography is flat, with an elevation of approximately 355 feet above mean sea level, and no significant topological features. As such, there is no potential for rock fall and landslides to impact the project in the event of a major earthquake, as the area has no significant elevation changes. Based on the predicted maximum horizontal accelerations at the project site and the soil types, minor subsurface settlement may occur onsite during a major earthquake, and this is considered less than significant. The property is flat and there is a low potential for landslides. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving landslides. b) Less than significant impact. The Shafter area generally contains sandy loams. Due to the characteristics of the on-site soil types and the relatively flat terrain, implementation of the project would not result in significant erosion, displacement of soils or soil expansion problems. The project would be subject to City ordinances and standards relative to soils and geology. Standard compliance requirements include detailed site-specific soil analysis prior to issuance of building permits and adherence to applicable building codes in accordance with the Uniform Building Code'
Construction of the site would temporarily disturb soils, which could loosen soil, and the removal of vegetation could contribute to future soil loss and erosion by wind and storm water runoff. The project would have to request coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities (No. 2012-0006-DWQ) (General Permit) because the project would result in one or more acres of ground disturbance. To conform to the iequirements of the General Permit, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) would need to be prepared that specifies best management practices (BMPs) to prevent construction pollutants, including eroded soils (such as topsoil), from moving offsite' lmplementation of the General Permit and BMPs requirements would mitigate erosion of soil during construction activities.

During operation, the soils would be sufficiently compacted to required engineered specifications, revegetated in compliance with City requirements, or paved over with impervious surfaces such that the soils at the site would not be particularly susceptible to soil erosion. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil.
c) Less than significant impact. See Geology and Soils responses above. As indicated in previous responses, the site is flat and does not have slopes. Additionally, the site is not located near any areas with sufficient slope that could result in off-site landslides.

Moreover, the project will be designed by an engineer as to resist potential side-effects of spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Therefore, the project would not be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable because of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liq uefaction, or collaPse'
d) Less than sienificant impact. see Geology and soils responses above. Expansive clay soils are -ublect to shrinking and swelling due to changes in moisture content over the seasons.

These changes can cause damage or failure of foundations, utilities, and pavements. During periods of high moisture content, expansive soils under foundations can heave and result in structures lifting. ln dry periods, the same soils can collapse and result in settlement of structures. According to Physical and Chemical Properties of the Soils in the USDA Kern County Soil Survey, the upper five feet of the onsite soil (sandy loam) is considered to have low shrink-swell or expansion potential. ln addition, the site is not located in an area of expansive soils. Compliance with applicable City of Shafter General Plan policies, Municipal Code, and the California Building Code, would reduce potential site-specific impacts to lessthan-significant levels. Therefore, the project would not be located on expansive soil creating substantial risks to life or property.
e) No impact. See Utility and Service Systems responses below. The project would not use r"pti. systems but would connect to the existing City sewer system located along East Ash Avenue. There the project would not result in soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater.
f) Less than sisnificant with mitisation incorporated. A paleontological study prepared for the p.j".t notes that geological reports covering the project area indicate that the project is underlain by late Holocene-age alluvial fan deposits and middle to late Pleistocene-age older alluvial fan deposits (SDMNH 2OL9). These deposits generally consist of unconsolidated silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders eroded from the surrounding highlands and deposited by the action of streams or rivers. There are no known recorded fossil collection localities from these deposits in the vicinity of the project site. ln general, late Holocene-age alluvial deposits are considered unlikely to contain preserved remains of organisms that are not conspecific with modern species living in the southern San Joaquin Valley region. As a result, any such remains encountered in these geologically very young deposits generally would not be considered scientifically significant (SDMNH 2OL9l.

The General Plan confirms that the City of Shafter has received sediments from the Coast Ranges to the west, the Sierra Nevada to the east, and to a lesser degree from activity on the San Andreas Fault system. These sediments contain different species of fossils, reflecting the different periods of deposition. General Plan policy 6.6.3. includes a standard condition of approval for new development projects. The policy requires that if cultural or paleontological resources are encountered during grading, alteration of earth materials in ihe vicinity of the find be halted until a qualified expert has evaluated the find and recorded identified cultural resources. With implementation of mitigation, the project would not directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than significant impact. On December !7,2009, SJVAPCD adopted Guidance for Valley Land-use Agencies in Addressing GHG Emission lmpacts for New Projects under CEQA, which outlined the SJVApCD's methodology for assessing a project's significance for GHGs under CEqA. The following criteria was outlined in the document to determine whether a project could have a significant impact:
r projects determined to be exempt from the requirements of CEQA would be determined to have a less-than-significant individual and cumulative impact for GHG emissions and would not require further environmental review, including analysis of project specific GHG emissions. Projects exempt under CEQA would be evaluated consistent with established rules and regulations governing project approval and would not be required to implement Best Performance standards (BPs). o projects complying with an approved GHG emission reduction plan or GHG mitigation program which avoids or substantially reduces GHG emissions within the geographic area in which the project is located would be determined to have a less-than-significant individual and cumulative impact for GHG emissions. Such plans or programs must be specified in law or approved by the Lead Agency with jurisdiction over the affected resource and supported by a CEQA compliant environmental review document adopted by the Lead Agency. Projects complying with an approved GHG emission reduction plan or GHG mitigation program would not be required to implement BPS' o projects implementing BPS would not require quantification of project specific GHG emissions. consistent with CEQA Guidelines, such projects would be determined to have a less-than-significant individual and cumulative impact for GHG emissions. projects not implementing BPS would require quantification of project specific GHG emissions and demonstration that project specific GHG emissions would be reduced or Potentially

mitigated by at least 29o/o, compared to Business-as-Usual (BAU), including GHG emission reductions achieved since the 2002-2004 baseline period. Projects achieving at least a 29o/oGHG emission reduction compared to BAU would be determined to have a less-than-significant individual and cumulative impact for GHG. projects implementing BPS or achieving at least a 29% GHG emission reduction compared to BAU would be determined to have a less-than-significant individual and cumulative impact for GHG.

The project's construction and operational GHG emissions were estimated using the CalEEMod program (version 2016.3.2). For the project to conform with the goals of AB 32, at least a 29% reduction of GHG emissions from BAU must be achieved by 2020' lncluding improved walkability design, improved destination accessibility, improved pedestrian network, and 3% electric lawnmower, leaf blower, and chainsaw, as well as reducing the operational vehicle trip length for park visitors and workers from a 6'6 mile and 14.7 mile radius (respectively) to an assumption of a 4-mile radius that encompasses all of the urban and rural portions of Shafter as mitigation in the model, the mitigated emissions were calculated using updated emission factors from CalEEMod. The unmitigated and mitigated GHG emissions are summarized in the following table.
lnsight 2019.

The project would not result in the emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), or sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), the other gases identified as GHG in AB 32. The proposed project will be subject to any regulations developed under AB 32 as determined by CARB. As noted in following table, implementing the noted mitigation as part of the project design and development, the project will reduce GHG emissions by

Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Fvaluation of Envi ronmental Effects
a) Less than significant impact. The project would not involve the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials as defined by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act. However, construction activities would require the transport, storage, use, and/or disposal of hazardous materials such as f uels and greases for the fueling/servicing of construction equipment, and there is the potential for upset and accident conditions that could release such material into the environment. Such substances would be stored in temporary storage tanks/sheds that would be located at the site.

Although these types of materials are not acutely hazardous, they are classified as hazardous materials and create the potential for accidental spillage, which could expose construction workers. All transport, storage, use, and disposal of hazardous materials used in the construction of the project would be in strict accordance with federal and state laws and regulations.

all applicable materials present at the site would be made readily available to onsite personnel. During construction, non-hazardous construction debris would be generated and disposed of at approved facilities for handling such waste. Also, during construction, waste disposal would be managed using portable toilets located at reasonably accessible onsite locations.

Once the project is operational, there may be maintenance activities that utilize gasoline and other vehicle-related chemicals that, if handled improperly, may result in spills. Day-today activities in parks do not involve the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials as defined by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act.

Maintenance of a park would require the transport, storage, use, and/or disposal of hazardous materials such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides. Users should follow any instructions for use and storage provided on product labels carefully to prevent any accidents at home. Users should also read product labels for disposal directions to reduce the risk of products exploding, igniting, leaking, mixing with other chemicals, or posing other hazards on the way to a disposal facility. Additionally, residential hazardous waste can be dropped off at Metro Kern County Special Waste Facility located at 4951 Standard Street or at one-day hazardous waste collection events that take place throughout the year. Therefore, the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. b) Less than significant impact. Please refer to response a. above. Therefore, the project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous material into the environment.
c) No impact. The Sequoia Elementary School is located 1.25 miles to the northwest, and the Golden Oak Elementary School is located 1.28 miles west of the project site. Given the distance and the intervening uses there is a very limited potential for the project to affect the schools in the vicinity. Therefore, the project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within 0.25 miles of an existing or ProPosed school'
d) No impact. There are no underground storage tanks (USTs) containing regulated substances and no evidence of past or present USTs, such as fill caps or vent pipes, were observed on this property. Also, no unusual ground conditions which might indicate the presence of USTs, waste oil tanks, hydraulic lifts, or other obvious environmental concerns, were observed on the subject property (AEC 2O1S)' Therefore, the project would not The project is not located on a site that is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment. The project site is not within the immediate vicinity of a hazardous materials site and would not impact a listed site. There is no data identifying any facilities in the vicinity that might reasonably be anticipated to emit hazardous air emissions or handle hazardous materials, substances, or wastes that might affect the proposed park. Therefore, the project would not be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment.
e) No impact. The project is not located within the boundaries of the adopted Airport Land Use plan area. The closest public airport to the project is the Shafter Airport/Minter Field located approximately 3.5 miles east of the project, west of State Route 99. The airport provides services such as flight training; supporting area agricultural and business operations; and aircraft fueling, storage, and maintenance. As is typical of most general aviation airports, the dominant type of aircraft based at Shafter Airport/Minter Field is the single-engine, propeller-driven, airplane, comprising 87% of the total (Shafter 2005).

Therefore, the project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area because of a public airport or public use airport. f) Less than sienificant impact. The city of shafter maintains an emergency plan for response to disasters, including but not limited to earthquakes, floods, fires, hazardous spills or leaks, major industrial accidents, major transportation accidents, major storms, airplane crashes, civil unrest, and national security emergencies. ln a disaster, Shafter could experience significant casualties, property damage, and utility service interruptions, potentially exceeding the response capabilities of both the City and the County. The plan outlines the general authority, organization, and response actions for City staff to undertake, in iompliance with existing law, when disasters happen. The objectives of the plan are to reduce loss of life, injury, and property losses through effective management of emergency forces (Shafter 2oo5). The emergency plan includes objectives and policies that would prevent new development from interfering with emergency response of evacuation plans.

The project will comply with all local regulations related to the construction of new development that is consistent with the emergency plan. The project would also comply with the appropriate local and state requirements regarding emergency response plans and access. The proposed project would not inhibit the ability of local roadways to continue to accommodate emergency response and evacuation activities. Therefore, the project would not impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
g) Less than significant impact. According to data from the Cal Fire, there are no fire hazard severity zones on the project site or within the City boundaries (Cal Fire 20071' The City of Shafter maintains an emergency plan for response to disasters, including fires' The objectives of the plan are to reduce loss of life, injury, and property losses through effective management of emergency forces (Shafter 2OO5). The emergency plan includes objectives and policies that would prevent new development from interfering with emergency response of evacuation plans. The project will comply with all local regulations related to the construction of new development that is consistent with the emergency plan. The project would also comply with the appropriate local and State requirements regarding emergency response plans and access. The proposed project would not inhibit the ability of local roadways to continue to accommodate emergency response and evacuation activities.

Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires' Hydrology and Water QualitY
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than significant impact. As discussed in Geology and soils above, the project site's soil iypes have a low-to-medium susceptibility to sheet and rill erosion by rainfall and a low susceptibility to wind erosion at the ground surface. Disturbance of onsite soils during construction could result in soil erosion and siltation, and subsequent water quality degradation through increased turbidity and sediment deposition during storm events to offsite locations. Additionally, disturbed soils have an increased potential for fugitive dust to be released into the air and carried offsite. As described in Geology and Soils, the project would be required to comply with the General Permit. To conform to the requirements of the General permit, a SWPPP would need to be prepared that specifies BMPs to prevent construction pollutants from moving offsite. The project is required to comply with the General permit because project-related construction activities would disturb at least 1 acre of soil. Therefore, the project would violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements.

b) Less than sisnificant with mitigation incorporated. A large groundwater basin covering over

1.5 million acres underlies most of the southern San Joaquin Valley, including the City, and has been providing water for the area since the early 1900s. This basin is replenished by the natural runoff from the Sierra Nevada, as well as through percolation from the many irrigation canals that import water into the area from other regions of the State. Shafter's drinking water is derived from the aquifers within the basin and is pumped to the surface by a system of groundwater wells operated by the City. The City owns and operates its own public water system, including groundwater wells, above-ground water storage tanks with booster stations, an above-ground tank and booster plant, and water distribution lines (City of Shafter 2005).

There are two types of water sources proposed for the project: (1) potable and (2) irrigation. Potable water would be only used to provide drinking quality water for bathrooms, drinking fountains, and sinks throughout the park site. lrrigation water would be used to irrigate the Park.

Full development of the park would require a peak potable water flow (under fire flow conditions) of L,374 gpm (QK 2O2La). The water assessment concluded that the existing potable water system has adequate capacity and the increase in potable water demand can be accommodated by the existing water system and remain within the City's water design criteria without any improvements or upgrades (QK 202La). The assessment also concluded that the park would result in less potable water demand than the now defunct Shafter Community Correctional Facility, or less than the baseline condition (QK 2021a). The project would tie into the existing potable water system at East Ash Avenue or a future waterline to be constructed within Golds Avenue. Mitigation also requires that the applicant receive a water will-serve letter from the City for potable water only (not irrigation water).

Non-potable water would be used to irrigate the full buildout of the park. The irrigation demand for Phase 1 of the park would be 49,7O7 gallons of water per day (gpd) with an annual estimated total water use (ETWU) of 55.67 acre-feet/year (AFY). Phase 2 would require 36,905 gpd with an ETWU of 4L.33 AFY. The total water usage for irrigation at full build-out is 86,612 gpd or 97 AFY (QK 2021a). The Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District (SWID) has provided the applicant with a letter stating that SWID "typically has water available February through November" and that the water is raw and therefore, requires filtration prior to irrigation use by sprinkler or drip irrigation' The project would connect to the SWID system via an existing outlet located on adjacent City property (ApN 089-140-73) to supply irrigation water to the site February through November. Mitigation requires, prior to grading permit issuance, that the applicant provide the City with a conclusive irrigation water will-serve letter from SWID stating that they will provide irrigation water between February and November. Additional mitigation requires, during site plan review, that the applicant provide a revised site plan that includes the c)
location of the existing offsite SWID connection and future conveyance system to get the SWID water to the drywell and filtration unit (see below)' Generally, December and January (the months were SWID water is not available) occur during the cold, wet winter months where evapotranspiration and water demand is at its lowest and therefore, demand is at its lowest. Additionally, the applicant intends to supplement SWID water with well water from three possible nearby wells. Two of these wells are private and one is on city-owned property. Mitigation requires, during site plan review, that the applicant provide a revised site plan that includes the location of the existing offsite well and future conveyance system to get the well water to the drywell and filtration unit (see below).

Raw SWID water and supplemental well water would need to be filtered prior to being used in sprinkler and/or irrigation drip systems. The applicant intends to have an onsite filtration system using a drywell system with filtration unit (Jimenez pers. comm.). Mitigation requires, during site plan review, that the applicant provide a revised site plan that includes a drywell and filtration unit to filter the raw SWID water and supplemental well water prior to being sent through the irrigation system.

The largest water need at the site is irrigation water, which would percolate (minus evapotranspiration) to ground and help with replenishment of the basin. Mitigation would also require, prior to grading permit issuance, that the applicant provide a comprehensive year-round irrigation plan to be approved by the City Public works Director. The irrigation plan would include calculations on conveyance of irrigation water during normal, dry, and multiple dry years as well as provide contingency steps if raw Shafter-Wasco lrrigation District water is reduced or not made available to the site' With mitigation, the project would not substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin'
The following discusses whether the project would substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces'
i. Less than sisnificant impact. The project site is flat and grading would be minimal.

The topography of the site would not appreciably change because of grading activities. The site does not contain any water features, streams, or rivers' The project would develop significant areas of impervious surfaces that could significantly reduce the rate of percolation at the site or concentrate and accelerate surface runoff in comparison to the baseline condition. However, onsite storm drainage infrastructure is required as a condition of approval for the project.

The project is not within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood lnsurance Rate Map, the project outside of a 100-year flood zone. The project site is located within the FEMA Flood Hazard Zone X: Area of Minimal Flood Hazard, and therefore the potential for flooding at the site appears to be very low' The project would comply with all city codes and regulations related to flooding.

The project requires development of a SWPPP and the use of BMPs and limit the amount of grading where feasible to reduce impacts to water quality during construction.

Therefore, the project would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or offsite' ii. Less n sisnificant imoact. Refer to response c.i above. Therefore, the project ilt.
would not substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner that would result in flooding on- or offsite.

Less than significant with mitisation incorporated, The project would comply with all applicable State and local codes and regulations and be required to provide an onsite stormwater retention basin of sufficient capacity to capture and store all surface flow from the park without any of the flow leaving the site. The current site plan attached to this MND is conceptual. Mitigation requires that, during site plan review, the applicant provide a revised site plan that includes an onsite retention basin and/or other capture method (such as vegetated swale) of sufficient capacity to contain all onsite surface stormwater flows. Mitigation also requires providing an engineering analysis by a qualified individual that calculates the projected stormwater flows onsite and provides the dimensions of the basin to capture such flows. With mitigation, the project would not create or contribute runoff water that would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff.

Less than sisnificant impact. Construction activities could potentially degrade water quality through the occurrence of erosion or siltation at the project site' Construction of the project would include soil-disturbing activities that could result in erosion and siltation, as well as the use of harmful and potentially hazardous materials required to operate vehicles and equipment. The transport of disturbed soils or the accidental release of potentially hazardous materials could result in water quality degradation. The project would be required comply with the NPDES Construction General Permit. A SWPPP would be prepared to specify BMPs to IV
prevent construction pollutants. The project would not otherwise substantially degrade water quality.

The project site is located outside the 500-year floodplain and is not located within a 100.year flood hazard area (FEMA 202L). Therefore, the project would not impede or redirect flood flows.
d) No impact. As noted above, the project site is not within a FEMA flood hazard zone, nor is it located near the ocean or a steep topographic feature (i.e., mountain, hill, bluff, etc.).

Tsunamis are waves generated in oceans from seismic activity. Due to the inland location of the site, tsunamis are not considered a hazard for the site. Therefore, there is no potential for the site to be inundated by tsunami or mudflow.

A seiche is a wave generated by the periodic oscillation of a body of water whose period is a function of the resonant characteristics of the containing basin as controlled by its physical dimensions. There is no body of water within the vicinity of the project site. There is no potential for inundation of the project site by seiche' There are no nearby levees that would be susceptible to failure or flooding of the site. The project site is not located within the Lake lsabella flood inundation area (Kern County2OtTl, which is the area that would experience flooding if there was a catastrophic failure of the Lake lsabella Dam. ln the event of flooding, the City would utilize the Evacuation Plan to support its Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs). With implementation of the Evacuation Plan, the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam. e) Less than significant impact. Refer to a. through d. responses above. There is currently no adopted groundwater management plan for the project site or its vicinity. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan.

Land Use and Planning
Evaluation of Envi ronmental Effects
a) Noi The project does not include the construction of roads or any other physical barrier. Therefore, the project would not physically divide an established community. b) No impact. The proposed project consists of a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to construct a two-phase recreation and sports park on a vacant, 42.4-acre site. The proposed General Plan Amendment would change the land use designations from the existing lndustrial and Business Park to Parks & Schools. The proposed Zone Change would change the zoning from lndustrial and Business Park to Community Facilities.

The public Services and Facilities Element of the General Plan indicates that parks and recreational facilities are a high community priority and is an indicator of residents' quality of life. The goal is to provide 2.5 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents in locations to serve the needs of the community (Shafter 2005).

The proposed project will fulfill the City's General Plan objective for parks and recreational facilities, and with approval of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, the proposed 42.4-acre recreation and sports-park will assist the City in meeting its requirements for the provision of parks and recreation facilities. As such, the proposed project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project. Therefore, the project would have a less-thansignificant impact. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy, or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect.

Mineral Resources
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) No impact. The California Department of Conservation, Geological Survey classifies lands into Aggregate and Mineral Resource Zones (MRZs) based on guidelines adopted by the California State Mining and Geology Board, as mandated by the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of L974. These MRZs identify whether known or inferred significant mineral resources are present in areas. Lead agencies are required to incorporate identified MRZs resource areas delineated by the State into their General Plans. The principal mineral resources within the City are oil and natural gas. The southern portion of Kern County is a major oil producing region, with oil fields extending into the southern portion of Shafter's Planning Area (Shafter 2005).

No oil or gas resources have been identified in or extracted from the project site. According to the California Geologic Energy Management [formerly called Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR)], the project site is not located in an identified oilfield and there are no known wells located on the site. There are five active oil wells located on the eastern adjoining property which were drilled in 2OL2 (AEC 2018). The proposed project would not result in the loss of availability of mineral resources as the project does not propose the extraction of mineral resources. Additionally, the proposed project would not restrict the ability of mineral rights' holders in the area to exercise their legal rights to access surrounding sites for the exploration and/or extraction of underlying oil research or other natural resources. Therefore, the project would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state.
b) No impact. As noted above, the project is not designated as a mineral recovery area. The project would not alter any existing plans that protect mineral resources. As a result, the proposed project would not interfere with known mining operations and would not result in the loss of land designated for mineral and petroleum. Therefore, the project would not result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site that is delineated in a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan.

Noise
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than significant impact. project construction would generate temporary increases in noise levels. The General plan Section 7.7 requires exterior noise levels in residential zones to be maintained at 60 to 65 decibels utilizing site and architectural design features to mitigate noise impacts when feasible (Shafter 2005).

Chapter 8.24 (Noise Control Regulations) of the City of Shafter Municipal Code establishes regulations and enforcement procedures for construction noise generated in the City' Section g.z4.O3O limits construction activities within a residential zone or within a radius of five hundred feet that creates noise exceeding the ambient noise level between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. (Shafter 2OO5). The regulations do not limit the days of operating construction equipment or vehicles, or the performance of construction work. Construction operations are prohibited from exceeding the ambient noise level between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. The project would comply with all applicable policies, regulations, and standards and policies within the City's General Plan and Municipal Code. Therefore, the project would not generate substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies' b) Less than significant impact. The project is expected to create temporary groundborne vibration because of the construction activities (during site preparation and grading).

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, vibration is sound radiated through the ground. The rumbling sound caused by the vibration is called groundborne noise. The ground motion caused by vibration is measured as particle velocity in inches per second and is referenced as vibration decibels (VdB). The background Potentially

Note: 25 feet from the ndi ment
vibration velocity level in residential areas is usually around 50 VdB. A list of typical vibration-generating equipment is shown in following table, although construction of the project may not use allthese equipment types.

The vibration velocity level threshold of perception for humans is approximately 65 VdB' A vibration velocity level of 75 VdB is the approximately dividing line between barely perceptible and distinctly perceptible levels for many people. Typical outdoor sources of perceptible groundborne vibration are construction equipment and traffic on rough roads.

For example, if a roadway is smooth, the groundborne vibration from traffic is rarely perceptible. Typically, groundborne vibration generated by construction activity attenuates rapidly with distance from the source of the vibration. Therefore, vibration issues are generally confined to distances of less than 500 feet (FTA 2006). There are residences located within the surrounding area of the proposed project site. Potential sources of temporary vibration during construction of the proposed project would be minimal and would include transportation and use of equipment on the site. Construction activity would include various site preparation, grading, in fabrication, and site cleanup work. Construction would not involve the use of equipment that would cause high groundborne vibration levels such as pile-driving or blasting. Once constructed, the proposed project would not have any components that would generate high vibration levels. Therefore, the project would not expose persons to or generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels.
c) No impact. As noted in the Hazards and Hazardous materials section, the closest public airport is Shafter Airport/Minter Field located 3.5 miles east of the project site and provides general aviation facilities and services (Shafter 2005). The project is not located within the airport land use compatibility plan boundaries for Shafter Airport/Minter Field' Therefore, the project would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels for a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport.

Population and Housing
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) No impact. The total City population was estimated to be t9,746 in 2019. Growth projections indicate that population in the Shafter Planning Area will be approximately 24,72L in 2030 (shafter 2005). The project proposes to construct a two-phase recreation and sports park on a vacant 42.4-ate site. The project does not include any new homes or businesses and only roads required to provide access to and around the facility will be constructed as part of the project. The project will not induce unplanned population growth in the area, either directly or indirectly. Therefore, the project would not induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly or indirectly' b) No impact. See response to a. above. The project proposes to construct a two-phase recreation and sports park on a vacant 42.4-acre site. Construction of the project would likely be done by construction workers residing in the City or the surrounding area who would not require new housing. The project site is undeveloped and will not involve demolition of existing housing, or construction of new housing, and will not require the construction of replacement housing elsewhere. Therefore, the project would not displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.

The need for additional public service is generally directly correlated to population growth and the resultant additional population's need for services beyond what is currently available'
i. Less than sisnificant imoact. Construction and operation of the project would result in an increase in demand of fire protection services leading to the construction of new or physically altered facilities. Under contract with the City of Shafter, fire suppression support is provided by the Kern County Fire Department located at 325 sunset Avenue, approximately 1.4 miles northeast of the project site' The proposed project would result in the construction of a recreation and sports park on a 42.4-acre site. The City of Shafter will ensure that construction activities are conducted in accordance with local and State fire codes. Services are adequately planned for within the City's General Plan through policies to ensure the City maintains fire department performance and response standards by allocating the appropriate resources. As stated, the project applicant is responsible for constructing any infrastructure needed to serve the project. Therefore, the project would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for fire protection.

Evaluation of Environmenta I Effects
a) Less than significant impact. The trip generation and design hour volumes shown in the table below were calculated using anticipated vehicle information from Shafter Recreation and parks District. lt was estimated that six baseball fields and three soccer fields on the project site will have two teams at each field, with 12 children on each baseball team and 15 children on each soccer team. lt is anticipated that each child would arrive in a separate vehicle, with a limited number of additional vehicles for spectators. These trips would arrive between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Therefore, the total number of vehicles entering the facility during this time was assumed to be 270, with 180 trips arriving in the peak hour from 4:30 P.m. to 5:30 P.m.

Daily traffic assumes additional games that are outside of the peak hour' A conservative estimate of trips leaving during this same peak hour was made to consider players that are dropped off. The following table summarized the project traffic from the assumptions above.

It is important to note that a signal warrant defines the minimum condition under which signalization of an intersection might be warranted. Meeting this threshold does not suggest traffic signals are required, but rather, that other traffic factors and conditions be considered to determine whether signals are truly justified. lt is also noted that signal warrants do not necessarily correlate with level of service. An intersection may satisfy a signal warrant condition and operate at or above an acceptable level of service or operate below an acceptable level of service and not meet signal warrant criteria.

Volume-to-capacity (v/c) ratios for roadway segments in the study area are shown in the following table. A volume-to-capacity ratio of greater than 0.80 corresponds to a LOS of less than C, as defined in 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. The City of Shafter's operational goal for roadway capacity is LOS C or better.

Mitigation is required where project traffic reduces the LOS to below LOS C or, where the pre-existing condition of the roadway (pre-project) is below LOS C, mitigation is required where the addition of project traffic increases the v/c.

R&S 2022
Based on the analysis, getting the intersection of Mannel Avenue and Lerdo Highway to an acceptable LOS includes the construction of a traffic signal. The analysis concluded that with or without the project, the intersection would operate at a LOS F and therefore, the project would not cause an impact and would not conflict with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system. b) No impact. An evaluation of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for project traffic was conducted based on applicable CEQA guidance. The analysis involved comparing an estimate of VMT attributable to the project to a baseline VMT for the Shafter area and assessing whether project VMT would result in a significant transportation impact. Several factors were taken into consideration when estimating project VMT, including proposed land use and project trip type and distribution. The park will mainly serve residents of the City of Shafter and therefore it was assumed that 90% of trips would be local. The remaining L0% of trips would be regionalfrom nearby population centers.

Based on the table below, it is anticipated that the project will result in a weighted average VMT of 6.55 miles per vehicle per day. An average daily VMT of 44.44 miles was obtained from the Kern County Association of Governments (Kern COG) for use in this study. This baseline average VMT was developed based on household populations in the Shafter area as well as local and regional travel patterns.

R&S 2022
The average project VMT of 6.55 miles per vehicle per day is 85.3% less than the baseline average VMT of 44.44 miles. Therefore, the project would not be in conflict or be inconsistent with CCR Section L5064.3(b).
c) No imoact. The project will be designed to current standards and safety regulations. All site access/egress will be constructed as to comply with the MUTCD regulations and design and safety standards of Chapter 33 of the California Building Codes (CBC) and the guidelines of Title 24 to create safe and accessible roadways. Vehicles exiting the site will be provided with a clear view of the roadway without obstructions. Landscaping associated with the entry driveways could, impede such views, if improperly installed. Specific circulation patterns and driveway designs will incorporate all applicable safety measures to ensure that VMT

hazardous design features or inadequate emergency access to the site or other areas surrounding the project area would not occur. Therefore, the project would not substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses. d) Less than sienificant impact. See response to c. above. The project would be required to comply with all emergency access requirements adopted and set forth in the City of Shafter Municipal Code. These requirements and all others required to be included in the project design will be verified by the City prior to project approval. Therefore, the project would not result in inadequate emergency access.

Tribal Cultural Resources
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) No impact. On September 2L, 202L pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21-080.3.1 and Government Code Section 65300 et. seq., letters were sent to each of the 25 Native American tribes within the geographic area as identified by the NAHC. The letters included a project description and location maps. No information on tribal cultural resources or sacred places were received as responses. Therefore, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources or in a local register of historical resources. b) No impact. See response to a. above and in the Cultural Resources section. Therefore, the project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource that is determined by the lead agency to be significant.

a) Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined in Public Resources Code Section 5020.1-(k)?
b) A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 502L.L. ln applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code 5024.1", the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe.

Utilities and Service Systems
Evaluation of Environmental Effects
a) Less than significant impact. Refer to Geology and Soils and Hydrology and Water Quality responses above regarding potable and irrigation water, wastewater, and stormwater. The above analysis concluded that the project would not require the relocation or construction of new or expanded facilities for water potable and irrigation water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities.

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) provides electricity to the City. The existing trunk and transmission facilities are adequate to meet present and projected demand to the project site. The project will connect to the existing PG&E transmission lines for electrical power. Although some evening sports events may require the use of lighting, most of the park's activities will be held during the day, when lighting would be minimal. The park will have security lighting, but electrical demand is anticipated to be minimal.

No natural gas or telecommunication facilities are proposed for the project.

Therefore, the project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural Would the project:
a) Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or stormwater
drainage, electrical power, natural gas, or telecommunication facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmenta I effects?
b) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years?
c) Result in the determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that is has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments?
d) Generate solid waste in excess of state or local standards, or in excess of the capacity of local infrastructure, or otherwise impair the attainment of solid waste reduction goals?
e) Comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and lation related to solid waste?

gas, or telecommunications facilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects.
b) Less than significant impact. Refer to the Hydrology and Water Quality responses above.

Therefore, the project has sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry, and multiple dry years. c) No impact. The proposed land use changes associated with the Shafter Community Park project will result in an increase of sewer flows of 61 gpm at peak flow (QK 202Lb).

Compared to existing conditions that currently include the Shafter Community Correctional Facility, the increased flow from the park is expected to be smaller than the flow from the Correctional Facility. The increase in flow was analyzed to determine if the existing system has sufficient capacity to accommodate the increase in sewer flows. The analysis indicate that the existing system has adequate capacity and the increase in flows can be accommodated by the existing system and remain within the City's sewer design criteria without any improvements or upgrades.

The project also proposes the construction of a gravity sewer within the access road on the west and north sides of the park with a point of connection to the existing sewer system within East Ash Avenue. This sewer is meant to serve the commercial lots between the proposed park and Lerdo Highway. Construction of this public facility would be completed before or concurrently with Phase 1. Note: Since the park does not benefit from a new sewer, the sewer's construction would be on the City of Shafter to design and install' Therefore, the project would not result in the need for a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments. d) Less than sienificant impact. Two franchise haulers, American Refuse and Varner Brothers, serve properties in the City. American Refuse is the franchise hauler within the city core area and will provide service to the proposed project. Solid waste that is collected is disposed of at the Shafter/Wasco Landfill and the Bakersfield Metropolitan (Bena) Landfill.

These landfills are owned and operated by the Kern County Waste Management Department. The Shafter/Wasco Landfill is the City's primary landfill, while the Bena Landfill accepts some refuse from industrial uses within the City. Both facilities are designated as a Class lll landfills and have the capacity to serve projected solid waste disposal needs through December 2053 and April 2046, respectively. lmplementation of the project would result in the generation of solid waste on the project site, which would increase the demand for solid waste disposal. During construction these materials, which are not anticipated to contain hazardous materials, would be collected and transported away from the site. The project, in compliance with federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste, would dispose of all waste generated onsite at an approved solid waste facility.

Therefore, the project would be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs.
e) No impact. See response to d. above. The 1989 California lntegrated Waste Management Act (AB 939) requires Kern County to attain specific waste diversion goals. ln addition, the California Solid Waste Reuse and Recycling Access Act of 1991, as amended, requires expanded or new development projects to incorporate storage areas for recycling bins into the project design. Reuse and recycling of construction debris would reduce operating expenses and save valuable landfill space. As stated above, the Shafter/Wasco Landfill is the City's primary landfill, while the Bena Landfill accepts some refuse from industrial uses within the City. Both facilities have the capacity to serve projected solid waste disposal needs through 2056 and 2046, respectively. Therefore, the project would comply with federal, state, and local management and reduction statutes and regulation related to solid waste.

Wildfires
Evaluation of Env mental Effects
a) Less than sisn ificant imoact. See Hazards and Hazardous Materials section regarding emergency response. According to data from the Cal Fire, there are no fire hazard severity zones on the project site or within the City boundaries. As noted previously, the City of Shafter maintains an emergency plan for response to disasters, including fires. The objectives of the plan are to reduce loss of life, injury, and property losses through effective management of emergency forces (Shafter 2005). The emergency plan includes objectives and policies that would prevent new development from interfering with emergency response of evacuation plans. The project will comply with all local regulations related to the construction of new development that is consistent with the emergency plan. The project would also comply with the appropriate local and State requirements regarding emergency response plans and access. The proposed project would not inhibit the ability of local roadways to continue to accommodate emergency response and evacuation activities.

Therefore, the project would not substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.
b) Less than significant impact. The project site is in a region dominated by agricultural and urban development. The topography of the area is flat, with an elevation of approximately 355 feet above mean sea level. The project would installthe required infrastructure to meet water supply demands for fire protection services. Development of the project will not increase the need for fire protection services or expand the service area of the local Fire Potentially

Department, and the project will comply with all applicable fire codes and regulations.

Therefore, the project would not exacerbate wildfires and expose project occupants to pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors.
c) No impact. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) provides electricity to the City. The existing trunk and transmission facilities are adequate to meet present and projected demand to the project site. The project will connect to the existing PG&E transmission lines for electrical power. Therefore, the project would not require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment.
d) No impact. The site is topographically flat land, as is the surrounding area. There are no slopes on or near the property and the project would not expose the people or structures to significant risks from downslope or downstream flooding or landslides due to a result of runoff, post fire instability or drainage changes. According to FEMA Flood lnsurance Rate Maps the project is within an area of minimal flood hazards (FEMA 202Ll.. Therefore, the project would not expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes.

Ma ndatory Findings of Significance
Evaluation of Environ mental Effects
a) Less than sienificant with mitieation incorporated. As evaluated in this document, the project would not substantially degrade the quality of the environment; substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species; cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels; threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community; reduce the number or restrict the range of an endangered, rare, or threatened species; or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory' With implementation of the mitigation measures recommended in this document, the project would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, significantly impact biological resources, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Therefore, with the following mitigation measures the project would have a less-than-significant impact. Therefore, the project, with the implementation of the identified conditions of approval, best management practices, and mitigation measures, would not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory.

b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects which would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirect
T
?
b) Less than sisnificant impact with mitisation incorporated. As described in the impact analyses in this document, any potentially significant impacts of the project would be reduced to a less-than-significant level through implementation of the project as described and by mitigation measures. The project would not otherwise combine with impacts of related development to add considerably to any cumulative impacts in the region. With mitigation, the proposed project would not have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable. Therefore, the project would have a less than cumulatively considerable impact with mitigation incorporated. There is no substantial evidence that with the implementation of the identified conditions of approval, best management practices, and mitigation measures, there are any cumulative effects associated with this project.
c) Less than significant with mitigation incorporated. All the project's impacts, both direct and indirect, that are attributable to the project were identified and mitigated. The project mitigation measures will substantially reduce or eliminate impacts of the project. Therefore, the project, with mitigation, would not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.
