will also be implemented to support the development, such as water, wastewater, and drainage systems.

Development of roadways and public facilities will occur concurrently with residential development and are planned to accommodate the built-out requirements of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan community, ensuring that the Specific Plan standards for orderly growth are implemented. Due to the single access point from Seventh Standard Road, a traffic signal at the intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North will be installed prior to occupancy of any home within the developmentproperty.

Development also requires to be equipped to access to the City of Shafter’s fiber communications system. Infrastructure for the fiber system will be installed throughout the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan community. Equipment and conduits will connect residences and the recreation center to the fiber system which will be located in the street.

B. DESIGN OBJECTIVES
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan provides for a comprehensive planning approach that will implement the City of Shafter General Plan. The Specific Plan will help create a high quality development, with a strong sense of place.

To achieve this goal, a number of important issues were considered during the preparation of this Specific Plan, including the City of Shafter General Plan (2005), City of Shafter Zoning Ordinance (updated May 2016), and the City of Shafter Municipal Service Review (September 2014), as well as other regulatory policies, environmental constraints, development phasing, and local community goals. To ensure the functional integrity, environmental sensitivity, and positive aesthetic contribution of the Specific Plan to the Southeast Shafter area, this extensive analysis was used to establish the following list of project objectives:
• Set forth a comprehensive development plan that implements the applicable portions of the City of Shafter General Plan and achieves the City’s development goals for this portion of Southeast Shafter.
• Provide a balance of compatible and complementary residential and, recreational, and educational land uses in a well-designed master-planned community. • Ensure coordinated, responsible planning through the use of cohesive procedures, regulations, standards, and guidelines (quality growth). • Create an aesthetically pleasing and distinct community identity through the establishment of design criteria for architecture, landscaping, walls, street improvements, signs, and other planning and design features.

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 3-3
• Ensure that supporting infrastructure systems sufficiently sustain the land use plan by approving development predicated on the ability to provide adequate water supply, sewer and storm water infrastructure, public services, and transportation system connections in a comprehensive and timely manner.

C. LAND USE PLAN OVERVIEW
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area will contain a high quality and aesthetically pleasing community composed of single-family residential, and recreational, and public facility land uses on 263 acres. The land use plan was developed to create a complementary mix of land uses that will address the needs of the Marcona Preserve community. The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan design also reflects a plan consistent with applicable City of Shafter ordinances, development standards, and guidelines.

Land uses within the Specific Plan area include residential, and recreational/open space, and school, as described below and illustrated in Exhibit 3.1 - Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Land Use.

RESIDENTIAL
Residential uses account for approximately 254 acres of the project site, which will contain a maximum of 880 1,018 976 dwelling units. Residential uses are divided into five categories, according to location. Future residential development Planning Area 5 (PA-5), (current solar project), will may be developed by a tentative tract map at a later date. The portion of the residential development along Seventh Standard Road east of Jewetta Avenue North will be developed with smaller single-family residential lots (5,500-13,601 s.f.) and will be called Planning Area 4 (PA-4). The portion of the residential development east of Jewetta Avenue North, to the south of the school site, will generally include smaller to medium sized single-family residential lots (5,500-14,672 s.f.) and will be called Planning Area 3 (PA-3). The portion of the Specific Plan west of Jewetta Avenue North, approximately centered in the Specific Plan area will generally include medium sized singlefamily lots (6,000-14,668 s.f.). This area of the Marcona Preserve development will be called Planning Area 2 (PA-2). The portion of the residential development west of Jewetta, along Seventh Standard Road will generally contain larger single-family lots (9,450+ s.f.).

This area of the Specific Plan will be called Planning Area 1 (PA-1). All residential lots within the Specific Plan area will have a minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet for interior and corner lots.

FORMER DRILL ISLAND
There is a 3.30-acre portion of PA-1 that is designated as a Drill Island. It has been determined that a Drill Island will not be feasible due to the recent legislation requiring larger setbacks between new oil wells and residences. Therefore, it is contemplated that this

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 3-4
area will be redesignated for low density residential use with an additional 14 single family homes.

RECREATIONAL/OPEN SPACE
The main recreation/open space features within the Specific Plan area include four public parks. One 3.8-acre park on the west side of Jewetta Avenue North and one 4.3-acre park on the east side of Jewetta Avenue North, north of the school siteboth are proposed in the north of the development (PA-5), as well as one 1.01-acre park (PA-2), and one 1.75-acre park in the south of the school site (PA-3). In addition, a 14’ 14-feet wide multi-use walkway, sidewalks and bike lanes are located along Jewetta Avenue North. The parks are planned primarily as passive recreation facilities, with open turf areas, playground equipment, picnic areas, and other park furniture. A The meandering multi-use walkway is planned along the eastern side of the future Jewetta Avenue North (this multi-use walkway is described in more detail in Chapter 3, Section F, and illustrated in Exhibits 3.6, 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9). The multi-use walkways, sidewalks and bike lanes will increase community connectivity, since it will tie residential uses to the school and parks, uses. Sidewalks will also connect the two parks (1.01 acre and 1.75-acre located east and west of Jewetta Avenue North) and the school area.

The multi-use walkway connection with the parks, school, and the Natural Trail along Seventh Standard Road will tie into the future bike path along the westerly right-of-way of the Friant-Kern Canal and trails within the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Grove Specific Plans. In addition, Jewetta Avenue North will have Class II bike lanes on both sides, which is consistent with the City of Shafter General Plan – Circulation Element. The coordinated walkways, bike lanes, and trails will enhance recreational opportunities and promote pedestrian and bicycle circulation within the community.

FORMER SCHOOL SITE
A Formerly, a 16.88-acre middle school site is was planned within the Specific Plan area to the east of Jewetta Avenue North (PA-3). Due toBased on a demographic study conducted to analyzeing student generation and enrollment rates, the school site is no longer needed to be acquired by the Norris School District. Since dDevelopment of a new school is no longer necessarywill address the future residents’ need for middle education facilities, the

16.88 acre area will consist of additional smaller to medium sized single-family residential lots similar to the other lots within the Specific Plan area (PA-3).

D. PLANNING AREAS
Five distinct development areas, referred to as “Planning Areas” have been created to implement the planning objectives of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan. These Planning Areas were formed based on their land uses. Each Planning Area has unique characteristics, but will be integrated into a broader, cohesive community though

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 3-9
Plan site. Typical Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Street Cross Sections are illustrated in Exhibit 3-4. A description of the circulation concept follows:
• Seventh Standard Road is an adopted Specific Plan line with Kern County and the City of Shafter. Seventh Standard Road forms the southerly boundary of the project site and is designated by the City of Shafter General Plan Circulation Element as a Designated Express Way, with a base right-of-way width of 126 feet. The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan primary entry sign will be located at the intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North, creating a gateway to the community. Prior to occupancy within the Specific Plan, a traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North.
• Jewetta Avenue North will extend in a north-south alignment, from the northern project boundary to Seventh Standard Road. Jewetta Avenue North will connect residential, and recreational, and school uses. A multi-use walkway will follow Jewetta Avenue North on the east side, which will enhance the community’s recreational opportunities, as well as contribute to create a strong community identity and an aesthetically pleasant main street. A Class II bike lane shall be striped along both the east and west sides of Jewetta Avenue North. Jewetta Avenue North is an arterial south of Seventh Standard Road (in the City of Bakersfield Metropolitan Bakersfield General Plan) and will be classified as an arterial within the Marcona Preserve Plan area. The arterial designation for the avenue within the Specific Plan area will allow for appropriate roadway connection at the intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North.

The typical arterial cross section in the City of Shafter includes 110-foot rightof-way. From the northern right-of-way line of Seventh Standard Road to a point 1,000 feet north of it, the cross section for Jewetta Avenue North will include a 10-foot sidewalk/landscape area along the western side, a 17-foot sidewalk/landscape area along the eastern side, and a 14-foot auxiliary lane plus two 12-foot through lanes on each side, separated by a 14-foot median. From a point 1,000 feet north of the northern right-of-way line of Seventh Standard Road to the northern project boundary, Jewetta Avenue North will include a 14-foot sidewalk/landscape area along the western side, a 10-foot auxiliary lane and two 12-foot through lanes on each side, separated by a 14-foot median.

Along this northern portion of the roadway, Jewetta Avenue North will have an additional 7-foot strip to create a 21-foot wide landscape and multi-use walkway area along the eastern side. All sidewalks on Jewetta Avenue North and Seventh Standard Road shall be separated from pavement and curb with landscaping.

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 3-10
The applicant/developer of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area and City staff will negotiate the location of traffic signal along Jewetta Avenue North, north of Seventh Standard Road, within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area. The developer shall participate in the Regional Transportation Impact Fee (RTIF) program and will be entitled to reimbursement through the program. Reimbursement through the RTIF will include the signal at the intersection of Jewetta Avenue North and Seventh Standard Road and signals offsite. Reimbursement through the RTIF will not include signals directly serving the subdivisions within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area that are not regional in nature.
• The remaining streets within the Specific Plan area are designated as local streets. Local streets, including cul-de-sacs, provide circulation within the individual planning areas. Local streets will have a base right-of-way width of 52 feet that will include two-way lanes (12-foot) as well as 8-foot parking lanes and 6-foot sidewalks on both sides of the street. Implementation of sidewalks and painted bicycle lanes along the public roadways will facilitate non-vehicular circulation and increase connectivity with the trail system in the area. The project will comply with the City of Shafter Bikeway Plan included in the General Plan, as Class II bike lanes will be implemented along Jewetta Avenue North (see Exhibit 3-5: City of Shafter Bicycle Trail Plan and Policy 11, Section

3.4 of the Transportation Program of the City of Shafter General Plan). Final design of local streets will be determined at the tract map stage.

According to the City of Shafter Municipal Service Review (September 2014), the interchange at Seventh Standard Road and State Route 99 has undergone an upgrade and a railroad grade separation, which contributes to improved traffic circulation to and from the Specific Plan area.

F. PARKS AND RECREATION PLAN
Park and recreation facilities within the City of Shafter Sphere of Influence are provided by four entities: the City of Shafter, the Shafter Recreation and Park District, the Kern County Park and Recreation Department, and the North of the River Recreation and Park District. The North of the River Recreation and Park District covers the southeastern portion of the planning area.

The following parks in the City core are operated and maintained by the City of Shafter:

Mannel Park (4.5 acres, within the Shafter “core area”), Rodriguez Park (6.1 acres, located within the southeast portion of the City of Shafter), Stringham Park (1.2 acre, located downtown Shafter), Veteran’s Park (15.7 acres, located in the southeast portion of the City of Shafter) and Kirschenmann Park (6.2 acres, at the intersection of Birch Street and

Euclid Avenue). The City also operates Flight Park (3.2 acres) located within the Gossamer Grove Specific Plan.

Recreational facilities within the City of Shafter Sphere of Influence include tennis courts and athletic fields at Shafter High School, and the Shafter Aquatic Center at 269 Poso Street. The Community Action Partnership of Kern operates a youth facility west of SR43, south of East Euclid Avenue, and north of East Ash Street. This facility includes an 18,000-square foot gym, a computer training room, a day care center with playground, and food service facilities. The Shafter Recreation and Park District operates the Walker Senior Center at 505 Sunset Avenue. Just south of the youth facility, the City of Shafter has constructed a skate park.

The Parks and Recreation Plan, shown in Exhibit 3-6, is an important element of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan. The Parks and Recreation Plan provides adequate recreational/open space facilities to address the needs of the Specific Plan community.

The Parks and Recreation Plan features a 3.8-acre public park on the western side of Jewetta Avenue North, a 4.3-acre park on the eastern side of Jewetta Avenue North, north of the schoolPlanning AreasPA -2 and PA-3. One approximately 1.01-acre park and one approximately 1.75-acre park are located on each side of Jewetta Avenue North, south of the school sitePlanning AreaPA- 5. In addition, the Specific Plan will develop a multi-use walkway along Jewetta Avenue North, the Specific Plan’s main road. Sidewalks will also connect Jewetta Avenue North to the parks and Natural Trail and pedestrian bridges across both the Friant-Kern Canal and the Calloway Canal along Seventh Standard Road are also planned, as additional amenities that will further increase connectivity of the area’s trail system, expected to be developed as part of the Gossamer Grove and Mission Lakes Specific Plan areas (east and west of the Marcona Preserve property). Sidewalks will connect the parks toand the school areas east and west of Jewetta Avenue North. A Class II bike lane will also be implemented along Jewetta Avenue North and the development will provide multiple access points to a bicycle trail, originating in the City of Bakersfield.

The public parks are envisioned as gathering places for the community, andcommunity and may accommodate small neighborhood events. These areas, together with the multiuse walkway, will be focal points of the Marcona Preserve community. The parks will be primarily passive recreation areas, andareas and may include amenities such as a children’s play area with adjacent seating and paths, multipurpose turf, bike racks, picnic tables, and other park furniture. Lighting within the parks will be consistent with street lighting along Jewetta Avenue North. Landscaping will also be consistent with the landscape design along Jewetta Avenue North. The 1.01- acre and 1.75-acre public parks will be maintained by the City of Shafter and the larger parks in Planning Area-5 may be maintained by Shafter.

The multi-use walkway along Jewetta Avenue North will be a meandering path that will accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists, as well as other non-motorized users. The multiuse walkway will provide residents with an alternative mode of transportation throughout the community, andcommunity and may enhance social interaction within the Specific

Plan area. In addition, Class II bike lanes will be implemented along both sides of Jewetta Avenue North. Sidewalks will be developed to connect the parks and the schoolresidences to Jewetta Avenue North.

A minimum 36-foot wide Natural Trail will be implemented along the entire frontage along Seventh Standard Road, which will tie into the trails planned as part of the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Grove Specific Plans. The Natural Trail will include a 10-foot wide landscaped sidewalk separated from Seventh Standard Road by at least 10 feet of landscaping. The Natural Trail will be a major recreational amenity within the Specific Plan area and will also enhance community connectivity, since it will link residential uses to the neighboring residential developments.

The City of Shafter has established a park-to-population ratio of 2.5 acres of park space for every 1,000 residents. The number of persons per dwelling unit per 2010 2020 US Census, rounded to 4.0 pppeople/du x 880 1,018976 dwelling units x 2.5 = 8,80010,1809,760 for a required 8.810.18 acres of required parkland. The proposed total park acreage of 10.86 acres exceeds the City requirement and addresses the Specific Plan area residents’ recreation and open space needs adequately.

G. LANDSCAPE PLAN
The landscaping and signage will contribute greatly to define the Marcona Preserve community character. Exhibit 3-7: Landscape Plan with Signs includes conceptual locations for landscaping, and for primary tract, school and park signs. Distinctive landscape and streetscape features contribute to integrate the diverse elements of the built environment. These features help unify the street aesthetics, provide orientation to residents and visitors, and create a powerful, memorable view.

The purpose of the Landscape Plan with Signs is to establish a cohesive landscape framework that permeates the community, contributing towards an aesthetic continuity in the Specific Plan area. Elements of the Plan are as follows:

Primary Entry Signs: these signs will be designed to identify the main entrance to the Marcona Preserve community and will be located on both sides of Jewetta Avenue North, near the intersection with Seventh Standard Road. The signs will create a visual gateway to the Specific Plan area and will contribute to establish a strong community identity (see Exhibits 5-1: Primary Entry Sign Plan; 5-2: Primary Entry Sign Elevation; and 5-3: Primary Entry Sign Elevation-Detail).

Major Roadway Streetscape: this type of landscaping shall be used along Jewetta Avenue North and Seventh Standard Road and shall clearly identify the roadway hierarchy within the Specific Plan area. The streetscape will accommodate bike lanes and multi-use walkways, and a Natural Trail in some portions of these roadways. Tree species will

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 3-13
include a mixture of evergreen and deciduous species, for added visual interest. Please refer to Chapter 5, Section C for detailed streetscape design guidelines.

Local Roadways Streetscape: this type of landscaping shall be used along local roadways.

A unifying plant palette in similar patterns that reflect the community’s design theme will be used to create the local roadway screetscapesstreetscapes. Please refer to Chapter 5, Section C for detailed streetscape design guidelines.

Primary entry signs and school/park signs will follow standards shown in this Specific Plan (Exhibits 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4).

H. WALL PLAN
A sample wall plan was developed for the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan and is shown in Exhibit 3-8. A block wall with pilasters will be built along Jewetta Avenue North and along the residential property lines adjacent to parks (please refer to Chapter 5, Exhibit 5.11 for an illustration of the proposed wall). A block wall with slumpstone cap and color compatible with the theme wall will be implemented along the northern, eastern, and western boundaries of the school site, as a buffer to residential properties and the canal.

The Wall Plan objective is to shield residential uses while being consistent with the community theme.

Distinct pilasters will be spaced along the block wall. Decorative accents will be applied to it, to create a wall design consistent with the Specific Plan architecture theme.

An 8-foot tall block wall is to be constructed along the frontage of Seventh Standard Road and 300 feet north of Seventh Standard Road along the eastern and western project boundaries. The wall will be stepped down to 6 feet and extended along the east and west project boundaries to separate the residential parcels from the Friant-Kern Canal and the Calloway Canal. Cross-section drawings are depicted in Exhibit 3.8. The block wall will be maintained at 8 feet in height above the grade of Seventh Standard Road, as measured from the median, to top of wall at all points of construction.

I. GRADING CONCEPT
Grading for the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan is tailored to the existing topography of the project site. The project site is on a flat to gently sloping terrain. Soil and geologic conditions present no known significant constraints to grading. The primary objectives of the grading concept are to:

• Establish road grades that are consistent with those of the existing City streets around the site.
• Provide stable development pads for residential, educational, or recreational structures or amenities.
• Balance the cut and fill grading quantities on-site.

The grading plans shall be designed to accommodate drainage and a street system that meets the City of Shafter standards.

J. PUBLIC FACILITIES

WATER DISTRIBUTION
The City of Shafter and the Oildale Mutual Water company are the only municipal and industrial water purveyors in and adjacent to the City and the Specific Plan area. The City of Shafter owns and operates its own public water system. Four major canals affect water resources in the Shafter area. These include:include the Friant-Kern Canal (also known as the Federal federal Central Valley Project), the California Aqueduct (also known as the State Water Project), Lerdo or Beardsley Canal, and the Calloway Canal. These canals are vital to agricultural fields throughout the County and State.

Oildale Mutual Water Company currently provides water to residential and commercial development north of Seventh Standard Road and west of Highway State Route 99.

Oildale Mutual’s existing water supply is a combination of groundwater and treated surface water.

Oildale Mutual Water Company will provide water services to the Specific Plan area with a dual water supply system. This system includes a domestic water supply and a landscape irrigation water supply. The water supply and distribution system will comply with all Oildale Mutual Water Company standards.

The primary connection points available for the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area will be from the Gossamer Grove and Mission Lakes Specific Plan areas through Street “D”, as shown in the Mission Lakes Specific Plan, and additionally along Seventh Standard Road to the east to form a looped system (Exhibit 3-9: Utility Concept Plan - Water).

The proposed water system will include a water line along Jewetta Avenue North, extending from the 12-inch minimum water line at Seventh Standard Road to the 12-inch

minimum water line at Street “D” between the Gossamer Grove and Mission Lakes Specific Plan areas, and 6-inch and 8-inch lines within the internal roadways to provide domestic service to each proposed residence and the school, as well as supply sufficient fire flows to fire hydrants placed in accordance with the Kern County Fire Department standards.

SEWER SERVICES
Wastewater (effluent) treatment involves cleaning used water and sewage so that it can be returned safely to the environment or reused in place of other resources. The City of Shafter Department of Public Works is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the City’s public sewer system. Wastewater treatment service provided to the City is accomplished through a co-ownership of the Shafter/North of River Sanitation District No. 1 (NORSD) regional treatment plant that guarantees a set share of its capacity. The City of Shafter owns one-third of the wastewater treatment plant capacity and NORSD owns two thirds of the plant. According to the Municipal Services Review prepared for the City of Shafter in September 2014, both the City sewer mains and the regional wastewater treatment plant have plenty of capacity for the long-term future.

The proposed sewer plan for this Specific Plan consists of an extension of the already existing facilities west of the project. A gravity sewer line ranging in size from 18 to 30 inches has been constructed along Seventh Standard Road and provides sewer service to the project. A 10-inch gravity main will connect to the gravity main in Seventh Standard Road as depicted in Exhibit 3-10. The sewer system will also include 6-inch and 8-inch lines within the internal roadways to provide domestic service to each proposed residence.

Sewage disposal facilities shall be installed in accordance with requirements and specifications of the State Department of Health Services and the Kern County Department of Public Health.

DRAINAGE PLAN
A preliminary on-site hydrology study will be performed to analyze the project’s approximate 263 acres and determine an approximation of flows generated by the current undeveloped conditions and build-out conditions. The preliminary on-site hydrology study will be based on conceptual grading plans.

The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan site is classified by the USGS as Quaternary alluvium in the southern Joaquin Valley. The southwesterly flowing Kern River is approximately 6 miles south of the site. Existing topographic relief consists of relatively flat contours, with the existing site drainage generally sheet flowing in a northeasterly direction. The site is not located within the 500-year Kern River floodplain zone. No 100-year floodplains are located onsite. Calloway Canal and the Friant-Kern Canal delineate the western and eastern borders of the Specific Plan area, respectively. The drainage plan for Marcona

Prior to approval of any final map associated with the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan, detailed drainage/hydrological studies shall be required to address on-site drainage conditions and increased runoff flows associated with proposed land uses on a subdivisionlevel basis. Drainage facilities within public road right-of-way and drainage easements are proposed to be maintained by the City of Shafter.

K. PUBLIC SERVICES
The following information is a brief summary of services to be provided to the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan community.

FIRE AND POLICE PROTECTION
Fire Protection Services
The City of Shafter contracts with the Kern County Fire Department (KCFD) for fire protection services. The KCFD provides response to all fire and life safety emergencies.

Within the City core and areas in the northern portion of the City, fire prevention services are provided from Station 32, located in the downtown area. Station 61, located at 6400 Fruitvale Avenue currently is and would continue to be the station serving the southeast Shafter area. The City of Shafter 2019 Municipal Service Review indicates that This sStation 61 contains both an Engine Company and a Ladder Company, each with a fulltime captain, engineer, and firefighter. Station 61 operates three shifts (48 hours on-duty) and has one Type I engine and one ladder truck. KCFD is planning for a new fire station (Station 68) near the intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Allen Road. Currently, the new station has no construction date. Depending on the severity of the fire emergency, additional units from Bakersfield, Oildale, or other locations may respond (City of Shafter Municipal Service Review, September 2014).

While the Insurance Services Office (ISO) considers the ideal travel distance for a fire engine to be 1.5 miles, for planning purposes, the Kern County Fire Department (KCFD) uses a travel distance of 2 miles for a fire engine as the standard response distance. For ladder trucks, the ideal ISO travel distance is 2.5 miles. The KCFD uses a standard response distance of 3 miles. KCFD’s staff and equipment will have to increase in order to respond adequately to the Marcona Preserve, Mission Lakes, and Gossamer Grove Specific Plan developments. The Mission Lakes and Gossamer Grove Specific Plans state that acreage for fire facilities will be provided within those Specific Plan areas as required by the

CHAPTER 3 – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 3-17
City of Shafter/Kern County. No additional acreage for those uses will be necessary within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan boundaries.

Police Protection Services
Law enforcement services in the City of Shafter and surrounding area are provided by three agencies: the Shafter Police Department, the Kern County Sheriff’s Department, and the California Highway Patrol. These three agencies coordinate their efforts to ensure adequate police protection services are provided to residents and businesses.

The City of Shafter Police Department provides police protection services within the incorporated limits of the City. The Department employs 296 uniformed offices and 13 8 civilian support personnel. The Department maintains 2 uniformed officers and 1 police supervisor per shift, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The Department’s desired police officer to population ratio is 1.1 sworn officers per 1,000 residents. The 20210 US Census has established the City of Shafter’s population at 19,9536,988 persons. Based on the Department’s preferred ratio, 26 29 sworn officers meet desired staffing goals.

The 2020 California Department of Finance has estimatedUS Census indicates the population in the City of Shafter in 2017, to be 18,86819,953. Based on the current population, the City needs a total of 281 sworn officers to service the residential areas and one to service the industrial development. As the population grows in the southeast portion of the City, additional police personnel, equipment, and facilities will be needed.

Police protection services for the unincorporated areas surrounding the City of Shafter are provided by the Kern County Sheriff’s Department. The Buttonwillow Substation provides service to the unincorporated areas surrounding the City.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) provides traffic enforcement on major roads, State Highways, and Freeways within the City of Shafter and City’s Sphere of Influence.

The Gossamer Grove Specific Plan identifies areas for police facilities within the Specific Plan areas as required by the City of Shafter/Kern County. No additional acreage for those uses will be necessary within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan boundaries.

SCHOOLS
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan is within the Norris Elementary School District. The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan proposes the construction of a middle school on a 16.88- acre site to meet the future Specific Plan area residents’ educational needs. The middle school is anticipated to join the Norris Elementary School District. The Kern High School District will serve high school students of the Marcona Preserve community.

CHAPTER 5

DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Design Guidelines provide general criteria for architecture, landscaping, entry signs, lighting, and wall design in order to ensure highquality development, unique community character, and land use compatibility within the Specific Plan area. They are also presented to give guidance to City staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council in their review of development projects within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area.

These guidelines are intended to provide criteria for design, while allowing flexibility for architects, landscape architects, developers, builders, and others involved in the design of community elements. The Design Guidelines are intended to work in concert with the Development Standards contained in Section 4.0 of this document.

B. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
The goal of the architectural design guidelines is to allow for a diversification of architecture styles while ensuring visual compatibility. These guidelines are not intended to limit designs, but to provide a flexible framework to accomplish a cohesive design concept and to promote high quality construction.

Architecture, or building design, contributes significantly to create a visual and spatial expression of special design considerations and solutions. All architecture is intended to appear to be an integrated part of an overall site design concept.

Architectural styles should reflect a variety of compatible elements to avoid monotonous neighborhoods. This can be accomplished efficiently through the use of compatible materials, color combinations, setback variations, and articulated wall surfaces and rooflines.

ARCHITECTURAL THEME
The architectural theme for the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area is based on the history and tradition associated with the City of Shafter and general Specific Plan region. The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan architecture shall reflect the traditional agricultural and ranching practices in the area and the values of the regional community. The historic and cultural inspiration translates into a modern interpretation of a rustic, ranch-style

CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 5-2
architecture. Conceptual renderings that illustrate the design of residential structures are included in Appendix C.

The unifying architectural theme will not only promote the physical integration of structures within the overall community, butcommunity but will also contribute to create a “sense of place” among community residents, which also ties into the historic Shafter core area. Neo-traditional design elements will be incorporated to encourage social interaction among residents, resulting in a welcoming community to the new homeowners.

ARCHITECTURAL STYLES
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan recommends that architectural styles that have historical precedence in Central California be used as design inspiration. Contemporary interpretation and variation of styles such as “Spanish Colonial”, “Colonial”, “Craftsman”, “Bungalow”, “Monterey”, and “Cottage” shall be encouraged. Additional architectural styles that are consistent with the community theme may be incorporated into the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan.

The Specific Plan architectural themes shall address today’s market conditions, economics, and building industry standards.

COLORS AND BUILDING MATERIALS
The colors and building materials used in the Specific Plan structures shall be complementary, and when considered together, shall reflect a distinct community character, keeping with the overall Marcona Preserve Specific Plan theme, and exterior building materials shall be consistent with said theme. A variety of natural materials and earth tone-based colors will provide the diversity required for visual interest while unifying the building with their settings and creating a timeless appeal.

The primary purpose of the color palette is to avoid monotony, provide a variety of color schemes, and promote visual diversity. Recommended major colors are subdued earth tone colors such as browns, tans, and grays with additional accent colors.

Coordinated use of external building materials can contribute greatly to create a unifying architectural theme. Building materials add texture and color variety to architectural design and complement the use of a color palette. Recommended building materials are:
▪ Masonry (including brickwork and stonework)
▪ Stucco
▪ Concrete (including salt finished and concrete with decorative impressions) ▪ Cast iron
▪ Wrought iron

CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 5-3
The use of river rock, river cobble, and decomposed granite for stonework.

Ranch-style architecture and rustic design traditionally calls for the use of wood.

However, to increase durability, the use of metal or plastic molded and colored to imitate wood is recommended.

Color and building material recommendations are as follows:
▪ Incorporate a minimum of three colors within each elevation, such as one body, one trim, and one accent color.
▪ Select individual color schemes that are appropriate to each of the architectural styles, with a harmonious selection of accent materials and roof profile and colors. ▪ Avoid the use of the same exterior color scheme on two adjacent homes with the same floor plan. A scheme of color on exterior elements should be distinct on adjacent homes, with deeper tones encouraged to promote variation. ▪ If balconies are provided, match or complement those materials on the main portion of the building.

BUILDING MASS, FORM, AND SCALE
Creating an aesthetically pleasing street scene with visual variety is one of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan design guidelines’ objectives. The following recommendations are intended to develop variation in appearance and a sense of individuality for each home:

1. Single-story components such as porches, reduced heights of living spaces, and/or garage areas may be used to create a sense of variety within the street scene and to break up building massing.

2. Homes with entries, windows, front porches, and living areas closer to the street and with recessed garages are encouraged.

3. The fenestration for each structure should vary according to the architectural style chosen.

4. Garage doors shall be integrated into the design of the architecture and complement the building elevation. Accent colors may be considered to complement the architecture and to provide visual variety along streetscapes.

RESIDENTIAL
Residential architecture shall be oriented to the street so that interactive elements reinforce the human scale and are inviting to the street scene. Interactive elements include porches, porticos, trellises, arbors, and courtyards. The quality design and orientation of interactive elements contribute to pedestrian safety, a sense of place, activity, and neighborhood socialization.

CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 5-4
The roofs’ pitch and form are major visible community features. A varied range of roof forms and roof pitches can add an appealing visual impact to the community and to the streetscape. Roof overhangs are allowed and shall be designed as an integral part of the roof form. The roofing material shall be constructed of non-reflective, non-combustible materials and exhibit muted earth tones. Concrete tile, tile, or architectural style composition shingle with dimensional color variation is allowed per City Zoning Ordinance. Wood, metal, and standard “flat” composition roofing materials will not be permitted.

All walls and fences used within the residential area shall be of material compatible with the architectural design of the structure. Walls shall not exceed six feet in height except for retaining walls. If the fence or wall connects two separate units they shall be of the same color and material, and be compatible with the color and material of the architecture.

Rectangular plans and variations of the rectangle can assure compatibility and variation.

Variety and interest can be created by varying dimensions and positions of structures.

All parking structures, either free-standing or attached garages, shall incorporate the same design element as the dwelling unit. In order to de-emphasize the role of the garage in front elevations, “neo-traditional” treatments such as staggered setbacks, recessed garages, detached garages, among others, are encouraged. Garages shall be constructed of materials compatible with the architectural style of the primary structure.

Recessed doors, windows and wall openings are characteristic elements of the intended architectural theme and convey the appearance of thick protective exterior walls. Fully recessed openings are encouraged, although plaster projections and projecting windows may be used to add articulation to wall surfaces. Buildings may have a shadow relief.

Offsets, pop-outs, overhangs and recesses, all may be used to produce effective shadow interest areas.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Architectural styles for the school component of the project shall complement the community theme. The placement and design of structures should facilitate and encourage pedestrian activity and convey a physical and visual link to the adjacent residential developments, streets, and sidewalks, including the multi-use walkway along Jewetta Avenue North. Long linear vistas and building edges should be avoided by varying and articulating building facades, heights and rooflines.

Roof projections over windows are encouraged. Roofs may be constructed of clay tile, slate, concrete or asphaltic compound shingles. No mechanical equipment of any kind is permitted on roofs. All vents and other projections shall be colored to blend with the roof.

CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 5-5
Flat roofs with parapet walls to screen rooftop equipment are appropriate, although building with angular forms and changes in roof planes are encouraged.

Perimeter walls shall not exceed a height of 8 feet above finished grade except for retaining walls. Refer to Section E of this Chapter for more detail on neighborhood walls. Walls shall match primary buildings with respect to color, texture and overall design.

Decorative paving may be incorporated into parking lot design, driveway entries, pedestrian walkways, and crosswalks. Parking lots and driveway lighting shall provide uniform illumination with accent illumination at key points, such as entrances, exits, and loading zones. Parking lots shall be landscaped with a minimum of one shade tree per 10 stalls.

The architectural design standards and requirements of the school buildings within Planning Area PA-3 shall be consistent with the applicable sections of the City of Shafter Zoning and Development Code at the time of development.

C. LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Design Guidelines determines a landscape theme for the project and sets forth general criteria for landscaping of the residential community, school site, and recreational areas.

Landscape elements contribute significantly to the development of the community identity, as well as to the overall aesthetic character of a project area. Community character is reinforced through the coordinatedcoordinated design and choice of landscape materials.

To achieve uniformity, guidelines are presented for the following categories:
• Entries and Signs
• Streetscapes
• Project Edges
• Multi-Use Walkway
• Public Park
• Landscape Buffering or Screening
• Natural Trail
Water conservation shall be taken into account during development of the plant palette.

The plant palette shall be composed of species that require low to medium water use and are compatible with year-round weather of the proposed project area.

Selected plant material and design will be similar to the palette used at Gossamer Grove along Seventh Standard and the Natural Trail.

CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 5-6
The landscape design for the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan shall include one or more “theme” trees for the community, which will be planted at the main entrances to the project, as well as accompany signs, and permeate the project area. This repetition of one or more types of trees will reinforce the community identity.

Once a particular plant or plant combination is used for a particular application, it is recommended that its use be repeated in similar areas of the community to reinforce a sense of neighborhood cohesion. For example, flowering tree species may be used at major intersections and along traffic calming devices.

The landscape design for the Marcona Preserve community shall be detailed at the time of site development plan.

ENTRIES AND SIGNS
The Marcona Preserve Landscape Plan with Signs is shown in Exhibit 3.7. Landscape and streetscape elements will be used to create visual continuity throughout the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area.

The design of the primary entry (intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North) into the project shall symbolically form a gateway and clearly identify the transition to the Marcona Preserve community. Special landscape treatments with specialty paving, lush plantings, signage, and primary entry signs shall be used to emphasize and contrast the entryway with the rest of the environment. Clear views for traffic safety and project signage must be maintained. Primary entry signs and school/park signs will follow standards shown in this Specific Plan (Exhibits 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4).

Exhibits 5-1: Primary Entry Sign - Plan, 5.2: Primary Entry Sign - Elevation, and 5.3:

Conceptual Primary Entry Sign illustrate the sign that will occupy the northern corners of the intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North. The sign will be located over an 18-inch high decorative wall. Groundcover such as grass or flowers may be planted on the high wall base. Whenever possible, the theme tree for the Specific Plan area shall be planted behind the structure, in order to visually frame the sign and reinforce the community identity.

Tract signs will be designed to identify entrances into the public parks and school. This type of sign will be accompanied with the theme tree or accent plant species, such as flowering trees, with specialty paving and plantings, and shall be consistent with the style of the major entrances. Recommended design for these signs is shown in Exhibit 5.4:

School/Park Sign.

A 20-foot minimum building- and parking-free area shall be maintained at the entry intersection to provide adequate visual access to entry signs.

STREETSCAPE
Landscaping of perimeter and internal streets will provide continuity throughout the community and create an appropriate link with adjacent areas. Street trees within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area will reflect the community’s design theme, as well as provide shade, colorful ground plane treatment, and enhanced views. The use of a unifying plant palette in similar patterns will reinforce the community identity. In addition, a unifying paving theme may be utilized throughout the project site to complement the use of landscaping and signage.

Landscaping along roadways will contribute to identify Jewetta Avenue North as the primary circulation feature within the Specific Plan area. Street trees along Seventh Standard Road will be consistent with the landscape treatment implemented along Mission Lakes and Gossamer Grove Specific Plan frontages. The remaining roadways will receive landscape treatment that will establish continuity within the Specific Plan area.

The different streetscapes for the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan as described below.

Jewetta Avenue North – Jewetta Avenue North will be an arterial street (refer to Exhibit 3-3 – Circulation Plan and 3-4 – Typical Street Cross-Sections) and will have a median that may receive medium canopy evergreen multi-trunk tree species, such as olive trees (Exhibit 5.5 – Streetscape: Jewetta Avenue North Cross Section and Exhibit 5.6: Streetscape – Jewetta Avenue North Plan).

A 6-foot wide multi-use walkway, with planting areas along both sides, will follow the eastern side of Jewetta Avenue North within the Specific Plan area (Exhibit 5.7 – Multi-Purpose Trail - Elevation and Exhibit 5.8 – Multi-Purpose WalkwayPerspective). A sidewalk and landscaping will follow the entire western side of Jewetta Avenue North. Medium canopy evergreen trees and groupings of large shrub hedges may be implemented along this side of the street to counterbalance the landscape treatment along the eastern site of the roadway. Landscaping will separate the pedestrian walkway from the roadway (Exhibit 5.6: Streetscape – Jewetta Avenue North Plan).

Seventh Standard Road – Exhibit 5.9 – Streetscape – Natural Trail at Seventh Standard Road – Frontage illustrates the conceptual pedestrian facility and landscaping along the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan frontage. A 10-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be implemented along the north side of Seventh Standard Road, with planting areas along both sides of the sidewalk. Medium canopy trees may be planted along the planting area adjacent to Seventh Standard Road within drought tolerant ground covers and low flowering shrubs (less than 3 feet). The landscaping treatment shall create a relatively natural feel to the project frontage, with varying elements and pleasant aesthetics.

Sidewalks will connect the parks to Jewetta Avenue North. These sidewalks will contribute to a pedestrian-friendly environment within the Specific Plan area.

MULTI-USE WALKWAY AND PUBLIC PARKS
The multi-use walkway along the east side of Jewetta Avenue North will be landscaped to provide shade for walkway users and to create an aesthetically pleasant and pedestrian friendly recreation area along the Specific Plan’s main avenue. The multi-use walkway will have a sequence of the Specific Plan “theme tree”, which will contribute to reinforce the community identity (Exhibits 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8).

The multi-purpose walkway will be cleared to 6 feet. A landscape buffer will separate the trail from the wall and may include large shrub hedges (less than 5 feet high) and small deciduous tree groupings. These tree groupings will be alternated with medium canopy evergreen trees spaced approximately 40 feet. The tree distribution will follow a harmonic cadence, without the rigidity of formal landscaping. Decorative grass will line the area close to the curb and boulders may be scattered in this area for added interest. The meandering sidewalk trail and landscape planting scheme will lend an organic feel to the path.

The multi-use walkway landscape treatment will be drought-tolerant and follow water-wise landscape design principles. Water-wise landscape design and management focus on working with nature and natural forces (such as rainfall) to create an aesthetically pleasing, livable landscape, while using less water from the local supply.

The multi-use walkway will connect to a natural trail along Seventh Standard Road, which will offer continuity to the natural trails planned as part of the Gossamer Grove and Mission Lakes Specific Plan.

The public parks will be centrally located in the Specific Plan development and will be connected to Jewetta Avenue North and the meandering sidewalk by separated sidewalks.

Open turf areas should be provided to allow for passive recreation activities.

LANDSCAPE BUFFERING OR SCREENING
Areas that may need to be screened from view from the streets and adjacent parcels of dissimilar use include all parking areas, loading areas, and refuse collection. Screening shall consist of walls or earth berming and landscaping.

Large areas of asphalt or concrete parking lots are unattractive and deflect heat into nearby buildings. The use of groundcovers and shade trees will reduce the amount of paving, softening the appearance of the parking area while reducing the solar heat gain.

All graded areas shall be revegetated, prior to seasonal rains, for erosion control.

CHAPTER 5 – DESIGN GUIDELINES
Marcona Preserve Specific Plan Page 5-9

PROJECT EDGES
The perimeter edge of the project along Seventh Standard Road will be landscaped with the same landscape plant palette used internally in the project area. The intersection of Seventh Standard Road and Jewetta Avenue North is the major entrance to the Specific Plan area and shall have high quality landscaping to convey the community theme to drivers approaching the Specific Plan area. Walls will shield residential properties from the Designated Express Way (refer to Exhibit 3.8 – Wall Plan and Section E of this Chapter).

D. NEIGHBORHOOD WALLS
All walls and fences used within the residential communities shall be of a material compatible with the architectural design of the structures. Exhibit 3.8 identifies the location of walls to shield residential uses from major roadways and different land uses.

Exhibit 5.10 Wall & Pilaster Elevation (Theme Wall) shows the recommended design for the block walls with pilasters identified in Exhibit 3.8. These shall be block walls with a thematic design consistent with the Specific Plan architecture. Wall systems along major streets shall respect the designated setback requirement and have a stepped, varied, or nonlinear appearance.

All walls shall be a visual extension of the architecture of the main residential or school structure. The texture and color of walls shall conform to the same standards as the main structure. Exterior building colors will follow a varied color palette consistent with the overall community character. Walls shall not exceed six feet in height except when constructed along the Seventh Standard Road frontage, separating residential uses from the Drill Island, constructed as perimeter walls, or approved by the Director of Planning or designee.

The following materials are allowed for walls and fences:
• Wrought iron
• Concrete masonry: integral color (consistent with building color) • Brick
• Concrete: textured, brushed, hammered, rock salt, sandblasted, integral color (consistent with building color)
• Stucco: integral or painted color (consistent with building color) All swimming pools shall be enclosed by a fence, wall or other structure in conformance with the provisions of the Uniform Building Code.

E. LIGHTING DESIGN GUIDELINES
Lighting is an architectural component; it contributes to the creation and dramatization of nighttime visual appeal of structures. It is also necessary for safety, security and identification. Lighting location and design must complement community design elements such as landscaping and signage, as well as enhance safety.

The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan shall have a unique street lighting system, to be implemented along Jewetta Avenue North and local streets. The project will install street lighting in accordance with the City of Shafter Development Code standards and they will dedicate them to the City of Shafter. Street lightsStreetlights within public right-of-way will be maintained and operated by the City.

Specific lighting design and standards will embody the following design concepts:
− Street lighting within the Specific Plan area will be thematic and consistent with the overall Marcona Preserve theme. The lighting for the roadway shall reflect simplicity of the rustic theme with the flare of the modern industrial. Their style reflects traces of the Spanish influenced Mission style. − Street lighting is to be in scale with adjoining uses, emphasizing human scale as well as public safety.
− Street lighting is to be consistent throughout the project area on all arterial and collector roadways. The maximum height for streetlights will be 30 feet. − Street lighting within individual neighborhoods will be consistent throughout the project area.
− All project lighting is to minimize the projects’ contribution to ambient light production and will take into account the effect upon surrounding and adjacent land uses.
− Site development lighting shall be designed to minimize direct light rays from going offsite. Lighting shall be directed downward onto the pavement/property and not onto neighboring areas. Screening will be used as necessary to reduce spill over onto residential property and road right-of-way.
− Landscape lighting shall be used to highlight features such as specimen trees, signage, and pedestrian paths. Such lighting will be privately maintained and operated, unless the lighting is located within public right-of-way in which case it will be maintained and operated by the City of Shafter with City approval. − Pathway lighting is to be architecturally compatible with other lighting used throughout the site.
− Use of light emitting diode (LED) lights is required.

APPENDIX B

CONSISTENCY WITH THE

CITY OF SHAFTER GENERAL PLAN

APPENDIX B
A. CITY OF SHAFTER GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan provides a site specific, detailed description of regulations, standards, and guidelines for implementing the City of Shafter General Plan goals and policies. According to the California Government Code, a specific plan may not be adopted or amended unless the proposed plan or amendment is consistent with the general plan pursuant to §65454. Based on the language contained in the statutes and various legal interpretations by the courts, a general rule for consistency determinations can be stated as follows:

An action, program, or project is consistent with the general plan if, considering all its aspects, it will further the objectives and policies of the general plan and not obstruct their attainment.

In addition, the California Government Code states that the specific plan shall include a statement of the relationship of the specific plan to the general plan pursuant to § 65451.

This section presents the Goals included in the City of Shafter General Plan and findings of Specific Plan consistency with each Goal.

B. LAND USE
GOAL: To achieve and maintain a pattern of land uses that meets the needs of a diverse and growing population, while reinforcing those characteristics of a rural community that make Shafter a desirable place to live.

Findings: The City of Shafter General Plan update recognizes the opportunity to create an amenity-rich, large-scale planned community in close proximity to existing and future employment opportunities within the ITTC along Seventh Standard Road, south of the expanding industrial area along Lerdo Highway. The General Plan states that “the City’s vision is to provide a wide range of housing, including move-up housing opportunities, focusing new residential development to areas immediately adjacent to the existing community center, as well within a planned community to be created in the southeast portion of the Planning Area” (City of Shafter General Plan, page 2-2). The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan is part of the effort to create this planned community and will include residential products that will address the needs of first timefirst-time home buyers as well as provide move-up opportunities for local residents. The General Plan also states that “new commercial development is to be provided in close proximity to existing and future residential areas” (City of Shafter General Plan, page 2-2).

The Marcona Preserve community will include commercial and recreational opportunities, as well as a school, to accommodate future residents.

The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan is consistent with the Land Use designation (Specific Plan) included in the City of Shafter General Plan. The Specific Plan defines the amount,

location, and distribution of land uses within the proposed project area and intends to organize the physical environment into a logical, functional, and visually pleasing pattern.

The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan community will offer a residential environment that enhances residents’ quality of life and reinforces those characteristics of a rural, small town that make Shafter a desirable place to live. As the General Plan recommends, the Specific Plan promotes suburban densities. The Marcona Preserve community includes move-up housing opportunities and housing for those desiring amenities not typically found in small town subdivisions (e.g., common open space and recreational areas). Moreover, the Specific Plan establishes design guidelines to create new residential development with identifiable neighborhood units. Street design will route through traffic around, rather than through new neighborhoods. Neighborhood streets will be designed to encourage a quiet, safe environment that is amenable to bicyclist and pedestrian use.

The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will ensure coordination with area service agencies to define their needs and guarantee an adequate inventory of land for schools, parks and recreational facilities, and other public and quasi-public services. The Specific Plan will also ensure that the location, intensity, and timing of new urban development are coordinated with the provision of infrastructure.

Specific Plan (Seventh Standard Road)
The City of Shafter General Plan’s Land Use Program includes recommendations regarding the Specific Plan area along Seventh Standard Road. The General Plan Objective for that area is “To provide an amenity-rich, master-planned urban enclave with a broad range of housing opportunities, including move-up housing, south and east of Shafter’s existing industrial areas whose visual character is defined principally by suburban density residential and lowrise commercial uses, along with industrial uses which provide a transition between the Specific Plan area’s residential neighborhoods and industrial areas to the north and west” (City of Shafter General Plan, page 2-9). The following are applicable Policies included in the General Plan concerning this Objective. The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan is consistent with each of these Policies.
“1. Prior to approvals of development applications for all or any portion of this area [the area designated Specific Plan], a Specific Plan or planned development is to be prepared and approved.

Such Specific Plan or planned development shall provide detailed guidance for project-related land use, provision and financing of required public services and facilities, protection of agricultural lands, community design, recreational amenities, and community improvements. Development within the Specific Plan area shall be predicated upon the availability of adequate infrastructure and other public services and facilities for each phase of the project.” The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan provides regulation and guidance to development within the proposed project area.

Implementation of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan ensures that development will occur in a planned, orderly manner, and will be accompanied of all necessary infrastructure. “2. Urban development shall not be permitted on any parcel for which there is a valid land conservation contract in effect. Where urban development is to be located adjacent to an agricultural

use, adequate buffers shall be provided.” The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan site will be bordered by the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Specific Plan developments to the west, north, and east. The site will be bordered by Seventh Standard Road to the south.

Therefore, the Marcona Preserve community will not be adjacent to agricultural uses and no buffers will be required. In addition, development of the Specific Plan area will be subject to cancellation of the existing Land Conservation Contracts for the property. “4. The maximum allowable residential density for development within the Seventh Standard Road Specific Plan area shall be 4.25 dwelling units per gross acre within each Specific Plan, excluding acreage within the rights-of-way for Seventh Standard Road and the existing canals. Residential development products with higher densities than 4.25 dwelling units per acre may be permitted, provided that sufficient usable open space or non-residential uses (e.g., commercial and office development) are provided so as not to exceed the maximum overall allowable density of the project.” The maximum number of dwelling units within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan shall not exceed 976, which shows that the Specific Plan will not exceed the maximum density of 4.25 dwelling units per gross acre for the Specific Plan area, with the exception of PA-3.

With the maximum 185 lots, a density of 5.64 dwellings per acre is proposed. However, the higher density is permitted because there is sufficient park and open space areas being added to accommodate the increased density for PA-3The maximum number of dwelling units within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan shall not exceed 800, which shows that the Specific Plan will not exceed the maximum density of 4.25 dwelling units per gross acre for the Specific Plan area.
“6. Residential neighborhoods within the Specific Plan area should be designed to provide high quality housing that is attractive to a broad spectrum of buyers, including housing that provides “move-up” opportunities for local residents. Multifamily, for rent housing should be limited to key, central locations, adjacent to commercial uses.” The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will include residential products that will address the needs of first timefirst-time home buyers as well as provide move-up opportunities for local residents.
“7. Residential development should incorporate residential “village” themes, providing identifiable neighborhood areas within the area. The identity of individual neighborhoods should be reinforced with differing architectural styles and locations.” The portion of the residential development east of Jewetta Avenue will generally include smaller single-family residential lots. The portion of the Specific Plan west of Jewetta Avenue will generally include larger singlefamily lots. There are four product types with multiple elevations that will be used throughout the community. The Specific Plan establishes design guidelines to create a community that encourages pedestrian and bicycle traffic and fosters social interaction.

The implementation of different residential products will result in different architectural design for this neighborhood.
“8. Residential communities within the Seventh Standard Road Specific Plan area shall provide a strong package of project amenities, which may include, but is not limited to the following:
• Trails and paseos;
• Fountains and water features;

• Amphitheaters and public gathering places;
• Public facilities/parks”
The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will include a multi-use trail along Jewetta Avenue, and paseos connecting Jewetta Avenue and the parks and school site. In addition, a natural trail along Seventh Standard Road will connect to the natural trail that will be constructed as part of the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Specific Plans. The public parks will be designed as gathering areas, where small community events may take place. “14. d. Development of an appropriate level of pedestrian and bicycle circulation throughout the Specific Plan is to be provided, including pathways connecting residential neighborhoods with each other, as well as with nonresidential and recreational components of the area. Specific Plan development should also provide recreational trail systems for jogging and bicycling.” The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan includes a multi-use trail and Class II bike lanes along Jewetta Avenue. The multi-use trail will connect residential uses with the public parks, school site, and commercial area. The Class II bike lanes will be consistent with the Circulation Element of the City of Shafter General Plan.
“15. Development of the Specific Plan area shall provide such on- and off-site road improvements on City of Shafter streets as needed to ensure that applicable roadway performance standards are met.” The roadway within the Specific Plan area will be built in conjunction with construction of each phase of the development. The City of Shafter will implement roadway improvements for Seventh Standard Road.
“16. Public services and facilities, including needed on-site and off-site facilities, shall be provided and financed by the project as needed to meet applicable public services performance standards.” Public services and facilities within the Specific Plan area will be built in conjunction with construction of each phase of the development. The City of Shafter development regulations will ensure that off-site facilities adequately address the needs of the residents. “17. Project development shall provide full mitigation of impacts on school facilities to affected school districts.” The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan plans for development of an elementary school within the proposed project site. This will fully mitigate the proposed project impacts to elementary schools. The Mission Lakes Specific Plan includes a middle school, which will further mitigate impacts to school facilities in the area. “1817. The timing of new development shall be correlated with the installation of water, sewer, electrical, and natural gas utility systems, provision of municipal services (including emergency services), and project open space and amenities with land development in a manner that is economically feasible and that ensures adequate service to uses within the site.” Utilities, public services and facilities within the Specific Plan area will be built in conjunction with construction of each phase of the development. Construction of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will be phased in a logical sequence, in response to market demands.

Completion of these amenities on a parallel track with proposed residential development would help improve the quality of life of the residents during the implementation of the Specific Plan. The multi-purpose trail shall be implemented in conjunction with construction of Jewetta Avenue North.

“1918. Project entry, streetscape, and landscape design elements are to be designed to create and maintain a strong community identity.” Signage and landscaping within the Specific Plan area are planned to clearly identify community areas and boundaries, so as to efficiently guide residents and visitors through the Specific Plan area and contribute to the creation of a strong community identity. Landscape, entry signs, and streetscape elements will be used to create visual continuity throughout the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan area. “2019. Development of an attractive, but natural appearing landscape at community entries and along arterials and collector roadways is to be provided with groves of trees, earth tone wall colors, and drifts of flowering shrub materials.” A 10-foot wide concrete sidewalk will be implemented along the north side of Seventh Standard Road, with planting areas along both sides of the sidewalk. Medium canopy trees may be planted along the planting area adjacent to Seventh Standard Road within drought tolerant ground covers and low flowering shrubs (less than 3 feet). The landscaping treatment shall create a relatively natural feel to the project frontage, with varying elements and pleasant aesthetics.

Jewetta Avenue North will have a median that may receive medium canopy evergreen multi-trunk tree species, such as olive trees. A 6-foot wide meandering multi-use trail, with planting areas along both sides, will follow the eastern side of Jewetta Avenue North within the Specific Plan area. A sidewalk and landscaping will follow the entire western side of Jewetta Avenue North. Medium canopy evergreen trees and groupings of large shrub hedges may be implemented along this side of the street to counterbalance the landscape treatment along the eastern site of the roadway. Landscaping will separate the pedestrian walkway from the roadway.

C. TRANSPORTATION
GOAL: To achieve and maintain a well-balanced transportation system that maximizes freedom of movement; provides for the efficient and safe transportation of goods within and through the City of Shafter; and which balances concerns for mobility with concerns for safety and the quality of life in Shafter.

Findings: The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will contribute to facilitate meeting the City’s roadway performance objective through implementation of a portion of the circulation plan set forth in the General Plan.

The Specific Plan roadway design will contribute to improve circulation within residential areas. The Specific Plan includes appropriate measures to mitigate speeding and other traffic impacts in residential areas. Roadway patterns that limit through traffic on local residential streets will also be implemented. The Specific Plan locates commercial uses adjacent to Seventh Standard Road, since this land use is expected to generate heavier traffic than residential areas.

The Specific Plan establishes guidelines for implementation of landscaping along right-ofway of arterials and major collectors. Landscaping along Seventh Standard Road shall be

compatible with the landscaping along the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Specific Plan frontages.

As recommended by the General Plan, parking will be permitted along collector streets, with restrictions as needed to accommodate transit stops, pedestrian crosswalks, added lanes at intersections, or other operational requirements. On-street parking along arterials and principal arterials will be prohibited.

The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan supports and encourages the transit of pedestrians and bicyclists, which provide an alternative to travel by private automobile for short distances.

A multi-use path will be integrated along Jewetta Avenue North, connecting the different land uses within the Specific Plan area. The design guidelines contained in the Specific Plan will contribute to create a pedestrian-friendly community that allows for safe and convenient pedestrian and bicycle access to residential, commercial, and recreation areas.

C. PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES
GOAL: To provide for the ongoing provision and timely expansion of high quality public services and infrastructure for existing and future residents and businesses.

Findings: The developer will provide for infrastructure improvements, including streets, utilities, water, sewer, and storm drain facilities, as well as sidewalks and the multi-purpose path. All facilities shall be constructed and maintained in accordance with applicable standards.

The school will be developed in coordination with the School District. Recreational facilities in the Specific Plan include the multi-use trail and a public park. These amenities will adequately address the recreational needs of the Marcona Preserve community.

C. HOUSING
GOAL: To provide adequate affordable housing for existing and future Shafter residents, regardless of their economic level or special housing needs.

Findings: The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will provide different residential products that will address the needs of first timefirst-time home buyers and provide move-up opportunities for area residents. The Marcona Preserve community, in conjunction with the Mission Lakes and Gossamer communities, will contribute to develop a wide range of housing products in southeast Shafter.

D. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
GOAL: To identify limits on the natural resources needed to support existing and future development within the City and its study area, and ensure that these resources are managed and protected.

Findings:

Open Space: The Specific Plan’s multi-use trail and public park will form a system of recreation and open space within the Marcona Preserve community that will be liked to the park and recreation systems of the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Specific Plan areas.

These recreation areas are available to the public, and will support active informal play; passive recreation; and enjoyment of the natural environment.

Water Conservation: The Specific Plan will promote water conservation through the application of appropriate landscaping and site planning techniques which include the use of drought-tolerant vegetation in the streetscape. Other techniques that may be employed are the use of reclaimed water for large-scale irrigation and for dust control during grading where such water can be economically delivered; and installation of computerized irrigation controllers and drip irrigation systems. Oildale Mutual Water Company will provide water services to the Specific Plan area with a dual water supply system. This system includes a domestic water supply and a landscape irrigation water supply.

In addition, all development will comply with discharge permit requirements established by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The drainage plan will ensure that surface waters be protected from the potentially adverse impacts associated with urban runoff.

Biological Habitats and Wildlife Resources: The southern half of the Specific Plan property is within the Metropolitan Bakersfield Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The Specific Plan will also be within the Kern County Valley Floor HCPHabitat Conservation Plan, when the latterit is finalized and approved. A Biota Report will be prepared for the subject property and the proposed project will be analyzed for short- and long-term impacts to biological resources.

Mineral Resources: The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will provide for the proper management of mineral resources within the proposed project area.

Cultural Resources: If cultural or paleontological resources are unearthed during grading, alteration of earth materials in the vicinity of the find will be halted until a qualified expert has evaluated the find and recorded identified cultural resources.

Air Quality: The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities, including the multi-use path along Jewetta Avenue, which will connect residential areas with neighborhood commercial centers, recreational facilities, the elementary school, and surrounding areas. This will encourage a reduction in the number of vehicle trips. In addition, development of the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan will comply with all applicable construction dust abatement requirements.

Energy Resources: The Specific Plan encourages the use of energy-efficient design and implementation of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24 (California Building Standards Code).

E. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

GOAL: Minimize the potential for loss of life, injury, property damage, and economic disruption resulting from natural and man-made hazards, and ensure the ability of emergency services to respond rapidly and effectively following a disaster.

Findings: The City of Shafter General Plan states the need to minimize the potential for loss of life, physical injury, property damage, and economic or social disruption resulting from an earthquake and other geologic events or from a 100-year flood.

The closest known faults to the subject site are subsurface faults located at the Fruitvale Oil Field. These faults are not thought to be active for the last two million years. The proposed project will comply with the most recent Uniform Building Code’s seismic design standards.

The Specific Plan area has been studied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Specific Plan area is contained within Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 060075 0750 B (Kern County, CA, effective September 29, 1986). The FIRM Map depicts the Specific Plan site as Zone C (areas of minimal flooding, outside the 100-year flood zone). Prior to approval of any final map associated with the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan, detailed drainage/hydrological studies shall be required to address on-site drainage conditions and increased runoff flows associated with proposed land uses on a subdivision-level basis.

2005 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE

AND RELATED ACTIONS

CERTIFIED FINAL PROGRAM

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
(State Clearinghouse No. 2004101029)
FOR
Specific Plan Amendment No. 23-08
City of Shafter
336 Pacific Avenue
Shafter, CA 93263
October 2023

2 I. INTRODUCTION
On June 2, 2005, the City Council of the City of Shafter updated the Shafter 1993 General Plan.

The 2005 General Plan Update provides policies that guide development and environmental management. Specific land uses and densities are identified for land and resources within the adopted General Plan Area Boundary. The environmental effects of those actions were analyzed in a Program Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) (SCH No. 2004101029) that was certified by the Shafter City Council on June 21, 2005 (Resolution No. 05-1738). The adoption of the 2005 General Plan Update and environmental analysis included the adoption of subject Specific Plan area for urban residential development (Resolution No. 05-1739). The Marcona Preserve Specific Plan (MPSP) was originally adopted in 2006 (Ordinance No. 06-574) and subsequently was amended in 2014 (Ordinance No. 658), in 2017 (Ordinance No. 699) and in 2022 (Ordinance No. 744).

The FranMar Company, LP (applicant) is requesting an amendment to the adopted MPSP for minor changes in the land use designation of the 16.88-acre school site within PA-3 to low-density residential, and possibly amending the drill island designation in PA-1 to low-density residential at a later time (proposed modified Project) (see Figures 1 and 2). Residential uses account for approximately 254 acres of the MPSP area, which would contain a maximum of 880 dwelling units. Residential uses are divided into five categories, or Planning Areas (PA), according to location. Currently there are 60 dwelling units proposed in for PA-1 and 101 dwelling units proposed for PA-3.

An addendum to the Certified Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions (SCH No. 2004101029), which includes the adopted MPSP, has been prepared for Specific Plan Amendment No. 23-08. The certified Program EIR and Addendum adequately describe the activity of the zone change and residential development proposed in Specific Plan Amendment No. 23-08.

A lead agency may prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 “if some changes or additions are necessary, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Based on the evaluation provided in this Addendum, no new significant impacts would occur as a result of the proposed modified Project, nor would any substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified significant environmental impact occur. In addition, no new information of substantial importance shows that mitigation measures or alternatives that were previously found not to be feasible or that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment.

Therefore, it has been determined that the proposed modified Project does not meet the criteria set in Section 15162 for preparation of a subsequent EIR and that the proposed modified Project is within the scope of the certified Program EIR for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions.

The criteria for determining the significance of environmental impacts in this Addendum are the same as those contained within the previously certified EIR.

3 II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to amend the adopted MPSP to change the land use map code of the 16.88- acre portion of land currently designated for a future school site and potentially change the 3.30- acre area designated as a drill island site to low-density residential, which will accommodate up to a combined 96 single-family additional residential lots (proposed modified Project). The change in residential lots for PA-1 will be a total of 72 units (12-unit increase) and for PA-3 a total of 185 homes (84-unit increase) (see Figure 3).

The amendment does not include any changes to the remaining existing adopted planned residential and park development.

III. LOCATION OF PROJECT SITE
The MPSP is located in the southeast portion of the City of Shafter, generally north of Seventh Standard Road between the Friant-Kern Canal and the Calloway Canal within Section 36, T28S, R26E, MDB&M.

The site of the proposed modification is specifically located on a 16.88-acre portion and 3.30-acre portion of the Specific Plan identified as Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 536-020-02 and 536- 020-05 respectively.

IV. PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM
The purpose of the Addendum is to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the proposed modified Project and associated changes to the project description described in the Final Program EIR for the City of Shafter 2005 General Plan Update (SCH No. 2004101029) as certified by the City of Shafter on June 21, 2005.

V. CEQA REQUIREMENTS
According to Section 15164(a) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the lead agency or the responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred.

Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines provides that, for a project covered by a certified EIR, preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR rather than an addendum is required only if one or more of the following conditions occur:

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;

4 2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or

3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or Negative Declaration;
b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

None of the above situations can be attributed to the proposed modified Project. The level of overall development potential analyzed as part of the certified Final Program EIR does not significantly change under the proposed modified project. The proposed modified project will amend the Specific Plan to allow residential development on a 16.88-acre portion previously identified for a future school site. Because the proposal modified Project does not include development intensities beyond the levels considered in the certified Program EIR, no additional significant impacts are anticipated, nor is the severity of known significant impacts increased.

Although the modified Project identifies no changes to significant impacts, the existing significant impacts and significant and unavoidable impacts to Aesthetics and Visual Resources (regarding conversion of open space and agricultural lands to urban uses), Air Quality (regarding stationary and mobile resource emissions), Water Resources (regarding the lack of demonstrated availability of water resources for urban development outside the city limit line and Sphere of Influence [SOI] within the General Plan Area Boundary), Agricultural Resources (regarding the conversion of Prime Farmland to urban uses and conversion of farmland under a Williamson Act contract to urban uses), and Population and Housing (regarding exceeding regional housing and population projections) still remain and require all of the Certified Final Program EIR mitigation measures and the Statement of Overriding Consideration adopted for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions to be adopted with approval of the proposed modified Project. The Planning

5 Commission and the City Council of the City of Shafter will consider the addendum with the certified Final Program EIR prior to making a decision on the project.

In accordance with Section 15164(c) of the California State CEQA Guidelines, an addendum need not be circulated for public review and an additional round of public comments but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR. The decision-making body, in this case the City Council of the City of Shafter, will consider this Addendum to the Certified Final Program EIR in conjunction with the certified Final Program EIR and other planning documents prior to making a decision on the project [CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(d)].

VI. BACKGROUND
The City of Shafter undertook an update to its existing 1993 General Plan to plan for various land uses and regulatory components for an expanded City of Shafter General Plan Area boundary in 2005. A complete discussion of the background and various actions related to the 2005 General Plan Update is contained within the certified Final Program EIR for the City of Shafter 2005 General Plan Update. The EIR was prepared as a Program EIR to address the potential significant environmental impacts of the planned future development within the 2005 General Plan Boundary.

The Program EIR is also intended to be used for additional future actions necessary to implement the General Plan, including implementing proposed amendments and serve as the basis for focusing the scope of subsequent environmental analysis, such as specific development proposals that are consistent with the General Plan. Also included as part of the certified Final Program EIR are public and agency comments received during the public review period for the Draft EIR, as well as the City of Shafter’s written responses to each of those comments. The Program EIR (SCH No. 2004101029) was certified by the Shafter City Council and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was adopted on June 21, 2005. In addition to the certification of the Program EIR, the City Council of the City of Shafter adopted the General Plan Update and several related actions. An addendum to the Certified Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions (SCH 2004101029) for the MPSP was certified by the City of Shafter on February 7, 2006, under Ordinance No. 06-574 and was subsequently amended in 2014 under Ordinance No. 658, in 2017 under Ordinance No. 699, and in 2022 under Ordinance No. 744.

VII. CONTENTS OF ADDENDUM
The Addendum includes the various project descriptions, project documents maps, and 2005 General Plan Update certified Final Program EIR.

VIII. SCOPE OF THE ADDENDUM
This proposed addendum to the certified Final Program EIR addresses the following issue:

The applicant proposes to amend the adopted MPSP to change the land use designation of the16.88-acre portion of land designated for a future school site and potentially change a 3.30-

6 acre portion of land that is currently designated as a drill island to low-density residential that will accommodate up to a combined additional 96 single-family residential lots.

The Certified Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2004101029) assesses the environmental impacts of implementation of the General Plan Update for the City of Shafter. This Addendum will assess the environmental impacts of the proposed redesignation of a school site to low density residential on an approximately 16.88-acre site in the eastern portion (PA-3) of the Specific Plan area and potentially redesignating the drill island to low density residential on an approximately 3.30-acre site in the southern portion (PA-1) of the Specific Plan. This Addendum will address changes resulting from the implementation of the proposed modified Project on environmental resource areas previously analyzed in the certified Final Program EIR and adopted MMRP.

The proposed project is a discretionary action, and it should be noted that it may not be approved pending public testimony and deliberations of the Planning Commission and the City Council of the City of Shafter.

PROJECT ADDRESSED IN THE FINAL PROGRAM EIR
The City of Shafter’s 2005 General Plan Update and related actions included a comprehensive revision and update to the City of Shafter’s 1993 General Plan, expansion of the General Plan Area Boundary, adoption of two Specific Plans located along the north side of Seventh Standard Road (Coberly West and Mission Lakes), annexation of lands within the southeastern portion of the General Plan Area Boundary, pre-zoning of the proposed annexation area, cancellation of Certain Williamson Act contracts within lands proposed to be annexed, and expansion of the North of the River Municipal Water District. The General Plan is the City’s most important statement regarding its ultimate physical, economic, and cultural development, and will be used by officials and others to guide decisions governing development and management of human and natural resources. The General Plan uses text, maps, and illustrations to document the organization of physical, environmental, economic, and social activities desired by the City’s residents in order to create and maintain a healthful, functional, and desirable community. The 2005 General Plan Update addresses immediate and long-term issues including traffic, expansion of the local employment base, provision of public services, and environmental constraints. The goal of the General Plan is to provide a consistent policy guide, which incorporates public health, safety, and “quality of life” considerations.

The two Specific Plans adopted along the north side of Seventh Standard Road in the southeastern portion of the General Plan Area Boundary are Coberly West Specific Plan and Mission Lakes Specific Plan. The Coberly West Specific Plan encompasses approximately 830 acres, 764.8 of which are to be devoted to the development of 3,432 dwelling units. A total of 5,334 residential dwelling units are proposed in the Mission Lakes Specific Plan on 1,347 acres. The City of Shafter annexed approximately 5,000 acres of land in the southeastern portion of the General Plan Area Boundary. All of the acreage annexed is within the City’s SOI as adopted by the Kern County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). Concurrent with the adoption of the City’s 2005 General Plan Update, Shafter pre-zoned parcels within the Annexation 77 area. Pre-zoning of annexation territory is a pre-requisite for LAFCo review and action. The entire Annexation 77 area was pre-zoned consistent with the General Plan land use designations for the area. Two landowners petitioned for the cancellation of Williamson Act contracts pursuant to Section 51280 et seq. of the California Government Code. The cancellation petitions addressed lands within the Annexation 77 area, which are designated and zoned for “Specific Plan” land use. The North of the River Municipal Water District was expanded in the Annexation 77 area as well.

XI. CHANGES TO THE PROJECT
Reference item number II, above.

XII. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION

10 None of the changes described in this Addendum would result in any significant environmental effects or any substantial increases in the severity of environmental effects identified in the Certified Final Program EIR for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions.

Potential environmental impacts associated with the MPSP were adequately identified and addressed in the Certified Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2004101029). All of the mitigation measures proposed in the Certified Final Program EIR were adopted for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions. Through this Addendum, the same mitigation measures are adopted with project approval. As well, the existing significant and unavoidable impacts for Aesthetic and Visual Resources (regarding conversion of open space and agricultural lands to urban uses), Air Quality (regarding stationary and mobile resource emissions), Water Resources (regarding the lack of demonstrated availability of water resources for urban development outside the city limit line and SOI in the General Plan Area Boundary), Agricultural Resources (regarding the conversion of Prime Farmland to urban uses and conversion of farmland under a Williamson Act contract to urban uses), and Population and Housing (regarding exceeding regional housing and population projections) still remain and require statements of overriding consideration in conjunction with approval of the proposed project.

Environmental impacts associated with development of the site within the Specific Plan area including Aesthetic and Visual Resources, Agricultural and Forestry Resources, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Mineral Resources, Noise, Population and Housing, Public Services, Recreation, Tribal Cultural Resources, and Utilities and Service Systems would not change in respect to the proposed modified Project as the Certified Final Program EIR analyzed all impacts to land development within the Specific Plan area. Additionally, the proposed modified Project will comply with the mitigation measures adopted by the certified Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2004101029) for the 2005 General Plan Update for Aesthetics and Visual Resources, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Agricultural Resources, Noise, and Mineral Resources. Therefore, the proposed modified Project would not change the above identified impacts and is not discussed further in this Addendum.

As the future school site use is redesignated for residential development that can accommodate up to 96 residential lots, the remaining potential environmental resources could be affected by the proposed modified Project. Therefore, the remaining environmental resources are analyzed below.

Air Quality
A Focused Air Quality Study (FAQS) was prepared to estimate the difference in air emissions resulting from the proposed modified Project (Trinity Consultants, 2023). The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s (SJVAPCD) Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) establishes thresholds of significance for criteria pollutant emissions for construction and operation activities.

Criteria Pollutants
Table 1 depicts the comparison of construction emission levels of the school and the proposed modified Project. Assumptions include the use of required SJVAPCD measures involving

11 watering of exposed areas three times a day, reduction of vehicle speed on construction sites to less than 15 miles per hour and compliance with appliable Regulation VIII control measures. The modified Project would also comply with applicable mitigation measures as outlined in the adopted MMRP related to air quality.

Source: (Trinity Consultants, 2023)
As depicted in Table 1 for construction emissions, the proposed modified Project will result in an incremental increase for Reactive Organic Gases (ROG) for construction emissions, and an incremental decrease in Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Particulate Matter 10 micrometers in diameter and smaller (PM10) and Particulate Matter 2.5 micrometers in diameter and smaller (PM2.5) when compared to those created by the development of a school. However, as shown above, the modified Project will not result in emissions that exceed SJVAPCD thresholds and impacts would be considered less than significant.

The proposed modified Project does not create or cause a substantial or new environmental impact in relation to construction-related criteria pollutant generation greater than those previously analyzed.

Table 2 presents the comparison of long-term operational emissions for the school site and singlefamily housing development generated from mobile, energy, and area sources. Most emissions generated are from mobile sources traveling to and from the proposed modified Project site.

As depicted in Table 2 for operational emissions, the proposed modified Project will result in small changes to pollutant air emissions. Specifically, an incremental increase would occur in ROG, CO, PM10 and PM2.5. The modified Project would also result in a decrease in NOx emissions. As shown, the proposed modified Project will not exceed emissions over established SJVAPCD thresholds for long term operations.

As shown, the proposed modified Project does not exceed construction or operational emission thresholds established under SJVAPCD GAMAQI and in some cases generates less emissions than what would be expected by the development of a school. The proposed modified Project does not create or cause a substantial or new environmental impact in relation to criteria pollutant generation and does not change the findings of significant and unavoidable impacts related to stationary source and vehicular emissions in the certified Program EIR. No new or revised mitigation measures are required.

With respect to determining the significance of the modified Project’s contribution to regional emissions, the SJVAPCD GAMQI indicates projects that produce emissions that exceed the adopted thresholds shall be considered significant for a project level and/or cumulatively for impacts to air quality. Thus, based on this guidance, because the modified Project air emissions do not exceed the SJVAPCD’s thresholds for project specific impacts, then it would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of these pollutants for which the project region is in nonattainment under an applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard. For these reasons, the proposed modified Project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts than those disclosed in the certified Program EIR and does not result in a change to the EIR’s determination related to cumulatively considerable net increases of any criteria pollutant for which the region is in nonattainment. Based on the foregoing, no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

Exposure of Criteria Pollutant to Sensitive Receptors
Sensitive receptors are defined as areas where young children, chronically ill individuals, the elderly, or people who are more sensitive than the general population reside. Schools, hospitals, nursing homes and daycare centers are locations where sensitive receptors would likely reside.

The closest schools are Norris Elementary School and Norris Middle School, both located approximately 1.2 miles to the south of the proposed modified Project site. The closest hospital is Bakersfield Heart Hospital approximately 6.3 miles southeast and the closest assisted living facility is Palms at San Lauren approximately 4.5 miles to the southeast.

Based on the predicted operational emissions and activity types, the proposed Project is not expected to affect any on-site or off-site sensitive receptors and is not expected to have any adverse impact on any known sensitive receptor (Trinity Consultants, 2023).

Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) and Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)

13 TACs, as defined by the California Health & Safety Code (CH&SC) §44321, are listed in Appendices AI and AII in AB 2588 Air Toxic “Hot Spots” and Assessment Act’s Emissions Inventory Criteria and Guideline Regulation document. Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) of diesel particulate matter (DPM) during construction would be generated near existing homes to the east.

However, DPM emissions for construction of the proposed modified Project would be less than the DPM emissions for construction of the school site (Trinity Consultants, 2023). Therefore, an assessment of the potential risk to the population attributable to emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the proposed Project is not required since the risk would be less than the risk associated with the approved construction of the school site. Therefore, the potential risk to the population attributable to emissions of HAPs from the proposed modified Project would be less than significant. For these reasons, the proposed modified Project does not change the finding in the certified Program EIR. Based on the foregoing, no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

Odors
The proposed modified Project would construct residential development near existing residential and agricultural land uses. The residential development is not expected to be a source of nuisance odors. For these reasons, the proposed modified Project would not result in new or substantially more severe significant impacts than those disclosed in the certified Program EIR and does not result in a change to the EIR’s determination. Therefore, the proposed modified Project does not create or cause a substantial or new environmental impact in relation to odors and no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

Cumulative Impacts
The certified EIR concluded that the impacts of the approved project will combine with impacts of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects to create a substantial adverse effect on air quality during the construction or operations with respect to ROG, NOx and PM 2.5 and PM10 emissions and result in a significant and unavoidable cumulative impact. Cumulative impacts related to HAPs, or odors would result in less significant cumulative impacts.

However, as analyzed above, the proposed modified Project itself would not exceed the adopted significance thresholds for ROG, NOx, PM10, PM 2.5 or other pollutants. Because SJVAPCD’s project-level thresholds are defined, for purposes of determining cumulative effects, as the baseline for “considerable,” the proposed modified Project would not create substantially more adverse cumulative impacts to air quality than those disclosed in the certified EIR. No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified EIR.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG)
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), or sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), or the other gases are identified as GHG The proposed modified Project’s GHG emissions are primarily from mobile source activities (Trinity Consultants, 2023). GHG contributions are commonly quantified as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Table 3 provides the estimated annual GHG emissions resulting from the proposed modified Project and the school site.

Several laws and executive orders were adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions.

Senate Bill (SB) 32 requires that GHG emissions be 40% less than 1990 levels by 2030. SB 100 requires 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2045. Additionally, Executive Order B-55-18, which commits California to total, economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2045. The proposed modified Project’s largest contributors to GHG emissions are from electricity and exhaust from transportation fuels. Electricity and transportation fuels are, in effect, regulated by requiring providers and importers of electricity and fuel to participate in the GHG Cap-and-Trade Program and other GHG reduction programs (e.g., low carbon fuel standard, renewable portfolio standard, etc.). Each sector-wide program exists within the framework of Assembly Bill (AB) 32 and its descendant laws, the purpose of which is to achieve GHG emission reductions consistent with AB

32. The modified Project is consistent with the CARB Scoping Plan as well as applicable federal, State and local policies regarding GHG emissions. Thus, Project GHG emissions are consistent with AB 32.

With respect to the above-described GHG impact evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the modified Project that involves new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the modified Project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described GHG impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such greenhouse gas impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified Project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified Program EIR and would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

Therefore, the proposed modified Project would have a less than significant impact on applicable GHG reduction plans and the Project’s contribution to cumulative global climate change impacts and would not be cumulatively considerable. Therefore, the proposed modified Project does not create a substantial or new significant environmental impact. Based on the foregoing, no new or revised mitigation measures are required.

15 Cumulative Impacts
The certified EIR concluded that the impacts of the approved project would not combine with impacts of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects to create a substantial adverse effect on greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed modified Project would increase GHG emissions, but as shown above, are considered less than significant (Trinity Consultants, 2023). With respect to the above-described greenhouse gas impact evaluation standards, there are no changes of the proposed modified Project that involve new significant cumulative environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified cumulative effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the modified Project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described greenhouse gas impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such greenhouse gas impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new cumulatively significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR and would not increase the severity of a cumulative significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR. No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified EIR.

Hydrology and Water Quality
The certified Program EIR determined that effects of General Plan implementation on impacts to the loss of water recharge areas, water service facilities, water quality standards, and water emergency fire flows are reduced to a less than significant level, however, a significant and unavoidable impact was made due to water availability for urban areas outside of the Shafter SOI, but impacts within the Planning Area has were determined to be less than significant related to water demand, groundwater recharge and water quality. The proposed modified Project will not change the analysis or determination related to groundwater recharge and water quality, and therefore further analysis is not warranted related to those impacts. The MPSP identifies the Oildale Mutual Water Company as the provider of water services to the Specific Plan area and would utilize a dual water system to provide both a domestic water supply and a landscape irrigation water supply.

Water Demand
Because the actual size and number of students enrolled in the school is unknown, water demand was estimated based on acreage of the school site. Estimated operational water demand for an educational facility is expected to be approximately 1,630 gallons per day per acre; low density residential water usage is anticipated to be approximately 1,810 gallons per day per acre (City of Hanford, 2017).

The school site is approximately 16.88 acres in size, therefore the anticipated water demand for a school would be estimated at 30.82 acre-feet per year (afy) (10,042,756 gallons per year); the low density residential use is estimated at 34.22 afy (11,151,722 gallons per year).

Additionally, the 3.30-acre drill island site adds another 6.69 afy (2,180,145 gallons per year) of operational water demand. It is assumed that once an oil well is operational, there is little to no

16 water used. Therefore, the conversion of the proposed modified sites from a school and drill island to low density residential could increase overall water usage by approximately 10.09 afy.

The City of Shafter as standard practice will require that a will-serve letter from the Oildale Mutual Water Company be provided to ensure that water services can be established for the Specific Plan area. The Oildale Mutual Water Company has the capacity to provide water services to the Specific Plan area that includes the proposed modified Project site. As noted in the GPU EIR, the total demand for groundwater in the Oildale Mutual Water Company service area will be less than current demands for agricultural purposes (City of Shafter, 2005b).

The 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) for the Oildale Mutual Water Company projected an available groundwater supply volume of 11,726 afy in the year 2030, 12,802 afy in 2035 and 2040. An additional 15,000 acre-feet for the years 2030, 2035, and 2040 will be purchased or imported from North of the River Municipal Water District (NORMWD) and Kern County Water Authority (KCWA). In a multiple dry year scenario, the supply and demand comparison of the UWMP showed that in the 2030, 2035, and 2040 years, the Oildale Mutual Water Company is able to continuously meet demand of their service area (see Table 4, below) (Oildale Mutual Water Company, 2022). Although an increase in water demand resulting from the proposed modified Project could occur, the Oildale Mutual Water Company has proven in their UWMP that water services to the Specific Plan area and greater service area can occur and that their supply and demand projections can account for the project increase. Therefore, the proposed modified Project does not create or cause a substantial or new environmental impact in relation to water demand as determined in the certified Program EIR, and impacts are less than significant.

17 With respect to the analysis above regarding water demands, there are no changes proposed by the modified Project that involves new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the modified Project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described water demand impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such hydrology and water use impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified Project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR and would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR. No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified Program EIR.

The certified Program EIR concluded that the impacts of the approved project, when combined with the impacts of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects, would not create a cumulatively substantial adverse effect on water availability. The above project specific impacts of the proposed modified Project confirm that the modified Project would not create a more severe impact on water availability or water systems than the approved project analyzed in the certified Program EIR.

Land Use Planning
Per the City of Shafter General Plan, the MPSP area is designated and zoned Specific Plan (City of Shafter, 2005a). The MPSP designates the proposed modified Project site as School and Drill Island and will redesignate both to Low Density Residential (City of Shafter, 2006). As noted previously, the MPSP refers to five distinct development areas that have been created to implement the planning and development objectives to integrate each planning area into a broader, cohesive community. The proposed modified Project site includes a portion of PA-1 (drill island) and PA3 (school site). PA-1 has approximately 16.32 net acres with a maximum density of 3.68 units per net acre and a current maximum of 60 dwelling units. PA-3 includes approximately 32.81 net acres with a maximum density of 6.13 units per net acre and a current maximum of 101 dwelling units.

The proposed modified Project will increase the maximum number of dwelling units by up to 96 residential lots, with a potential total maximum of 72 dwelling units in PA-1 on approximately 20 acres and 185 dwelling units in PA-3 on approximately 32.81 acres. Therefore, the proposed dwelling unit increase would create a density of approximately 3.68 dwelling units per acre for PA-1 and 5.63 dwelling units per acre for PA-3, both of which are under the stated units per acre standard set for PA-1 and PA-3 by the MPSP. As such, the proposed modified Project is consistent with the policies and development standards of the MPSP and does not create a substantial or new environmental impact in terms of changing the modified Project sites designation from School and Drill Island to Low Density Residential.

The proposed modified Project is consistent with the MPSP as well as the City’s General Plan.

There are no changes proposed by the proposed modified Project that involves new significant

18 environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the modified Project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described land use and planning impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous Program EIR was certified, relevant to such land use and planning impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR and would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified Program EIR.

No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified Program EIR.

Cumulative Impacts
The proposed modified Project would be consistent with the goals and policies of the MPSP and General Plan, and, with approval of all discretionary actions, would be a permitted use that would not conflict with the land use designation or zoning classification. Thus, like the approved project, the proposed modified Project would not result in a cumulatively considerable impact regarding land use. The cumulative projects analyzed in the certified EIR remain the same.

Transportation
The certified Program EIR determined that effects of implementation of the approved project on transportation and traffic related to parking, emergency access, pedestrian and bicyclist travel, and regional transportation policies on alternative transportation to be less than significant. The proposed modified Project will not change the analysis or determination related to these impacts, and therefore further analysis is not warranted. This addendum will analyze traffic volumes and vehicle miles travelled (VMT) to confirm the impacts of the proposed modified Project.

Traffic Volumes
A comparison of estimated trip generation volumes resulting from the current school site and proposed modified Project was conducted utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. Table 5 summarizes the trip generation for the modified Project (Ruettgers and Schuler, 2023).

As shown in Table 5, the proposed modified Project will generate 64 more daily trips and 32 more PM peak hour trips than what would be anticipated with the operation of a school. However, there will be a reduction in the AM peak hour trips by 224 trips. The threshold for requiring a traffic impact study is whether a project adds 50 or more vehicular trips to an intersection during the AM or PM peak hours. As the proposed modified Project does not exceed thresholds, the minimal increase is not anticipated to create a substantial or new environmental impact related to daily and AM/PM peak hour trip generation.

VMT Analysis
The State of California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) released the Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA (Advisory), in relation to assessing impacts for VMT. The Advisory provides screening thresholds for identifying whether a land use project should be expected to result in a less than significant transportation impact under CEQA. Projects meeting one or more of these criteria would not be required to undergo a detailed VMT analysis.

According to the Advisory, if a project generates fewer than 110 average daily trips, the project is presumed to create a less than significant impact. As shown in Table 5 above, the proposed modified Project would generate an additional 64 daily trips and does not exceed the 110 daily trip thresholds established under the OPR Technical Advisory. Therefore, the proposed modified Project is not anticipated to create a substantial or new environmental impact related to VMT (Ruettgers and Schuler, 2023).

There are no changes by the modified Project that involves new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects related to traffic volumes or VMT. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described traffic impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such described traffic impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified project would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR. No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified Program EIR.

Cumulative Impacts
The certified EIR concluded that the approved project when combined with the impacts of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects would not create a substantial adverse effect related to changes in the transportation system, or traffic generation, during construction or operations.

The proposed modified project does not result in an increase in traffic beyond what was analyzed

20 in the certified EIR. Therefore, the proposed modified project does not create new or substantially more severe cumulative impacts to transportation and traffic than those disclosed in the certified EIR and impacts would remain less than significant as stated in the certified EIR.

With respect to the above-described traffic impact evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the project modifications that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described traffic impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such described traffic impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified project would not increase the severity of a cumulatively significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

Tribal Cultural
The proposed modified Project is located within the MPSP area and will not impact land outside of the Specific Plan area. As noted, the proposed modified Project is to be located on a site previously designated for a school site. The plan for development of the subject site within the Specific Plan area has not changed, only the use. The Specific Plan area is subject to the mitigation measure adopted by the certified Program EIR for cultural resources. Specifically, Mitigation Measure 4.5.4.2A requires that if human remains are encountered during construction activity, no further disturbance is to occur until the Kern County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition. If the coroner determines that the burial is not historic, but prehistoric, the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) must be contacted to determine the most likely descent for this area. Further, the General Plan has adopted policies to address cultural resources (including tribal cultural resources) that include the assessment of a find by a qualified archaeologist if found during ground-disturbing activities. The proposed modified Project is expected to comply with the General Plan policies and mitigation measures. Therefore, as the proposed modified Project will be located within an MPSP area that is anticipated for development and is expected to comply with the General Plan policies and mitigation measures, no substantial or new environmental impact related to tribal cultural resources is anticipated. No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified Program EIR.

With respect to the above-described tribal cultural resources evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the Project modifications that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described tribal cultural impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such described tribal cultural impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this

21 criterion, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified project would not increase the severity of a cumulatively significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

Cumulative Impacts
Excavation and other development activities associated with the proposed modified Project in conjunction with other projects in the area project list, could contribute to the progressive loss of archaeological and historic resources. However, avoidance of known cultural resources and the implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.5.4.2A, would mitigate the modified Project’s potential to disturb any cultural tribal resources and human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. Therefore, the modified Project does not change the certified EIR’s conclusion that the project would not have a cumulatively considerable contribution to impacts to tribal cultural resources.

With respect to the above-described tribal cultural resources evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the project modifications that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described tribal cultural resources evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such tribal cultural resources impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified Project would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

Energy
An analysis of energy resources was prepared in the certified Program EIR, which determined that implementation of the General Plan would result in an increase of use and need for electricity and natural gas. The certified Program EIR adopted policies and mitigation measures to minimize consumption of energy resources due to consumption of energy resources associated with prospective growth. General Plan policies 6.8.1 through 6.8.4 utilize California Building Code Title 24 for energy efficiency standards, site design, landscaping, and solar orientation considerations, use of energy-efficient lighting, and encouragement of the use of recycled materials in new construction.

Additionally, the certified Program EIR includes Mitigation Measures 4.15.6.1A and 4.15.6.1B to further ensure that energy resource consumption is minimized. These mitigation measures include the City’s review of all development proposals to guarantee that sufficient energy resources and facilities are available to supply adequate energy to a proposed project and associated uses, and that development proposals are compliant to energy conservation and efficiency standards of Title

24.

22 The proposed modified Project will comply with the General Plan policies 6.8.1 through 6.8.4 and Mitigation Measures 4.15.6.1A and 4.15.6.1B, as well as other applicable Title 24 requirements prior to issuance of building permits. Therefore, with the proposed modified Project’s compliance with General Plan policies and the mitigation measures outlined in the adopted MMRP, no significant or new environmental impact related to energy resources would occur.

With respect to the above-described energy resource impact evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the proposed modified Project that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described energy resource impact evaluation standards.

No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such energy resource impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified Project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified project would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR. No new or revised mitigation measures are required beyond those included in the previously certified EIR.

Cumulative Impacts
The analysis concluded that the impacts of the proposed modified Project when combined with impacts of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects would not result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during project construction or operation. The proposed modified Project modifications will not create a significant impact on energy consumption. There is no change in this circumstance from the previously certified EIR. Cumulative project analyzed in the certified EIR, remain the same.

With respect to the above-described energy resource impact evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the modified Project that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described energy resource impact evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such energy resource impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new cumulatively significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified Project would not increase the severity of a cumulative significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

Wildfire
The MPSP area is not located within a moderate, high, or very high fire hazard severity zone in the local responsibility area (LRA) or State responsibility area (SRA) (California Department of

23 Forestry and Fire Protection, 2007). The MPSP indicated that the City of Shafter contracts with the Kern County Fire Department (KCFD) for fire protection services and that Station 61 located at 6400 Fruitvale Avenue currently services the southeast Shafter area that includes the Specific Plan area. It is further noted the both the Mission Lakes and Gossamer Grove Specific Plans provide acreage for fire facilities as required by the City of Shafter/Kern County and that no additional acreage is necessary within the MPSP. Development of the proposed modified Project is subject to the State Fire Code and KCFD development standards for fire prevention and suppression. As the proposed modified Project site is not located within a moderate, high, or very high fire hazard severity zone, and in consideration of development standards for fire safety, the proposed modified Project does not create a substantial or new environmental impact.

With respect to the above-described wildfire risk evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the modified Project that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described wildfire risk evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such wildfire risk impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified project would not increase the severity of a significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

Cumulative Impacts
The analysis concluded that the impacts of the proposed modified Project when combined with impacts of past, present, and reasonably foreseeable projects would not result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wildfires. The proposed modified Project modifications will not create a significant impact on energy consumption. There is no change in this circumstance from the previously certified EIR. Cumulative project analyzed in the certified EIR, remain the same.

Therefore, regarding the above-described wildfire impact evaluation standards, there are no changes proposed by the modified Project that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects. In addition, no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of impacts related to the above-described wildfire risk evaluation standards. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified, relevant to such wildfire risk impact evaluation has been identified. Therefore, with respect to this criterion, the modified project would not result in any new significant impacts not already analyzed in the certified EIR, and the modified Project would not increase the severity of a cumulatively significant impact as previously identified and analyzed in the certified EIR.

24 The above analysis clarifies that no additional significant impacts are present, nor will the severity of know significant impacts be increased by the proposed modified Project. Therefore, an addendum to the Certified Final Program EIR for the 2005 General Plan Update and related actions (SCH No. 2004101029) is warranted for the proposal.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Executive Summary
Trinity Consultants (Trinity) has completed a Focused Air Quality Study (FAQS) for change from a 400-student elementary school site to a 96-unit single family housing development amending the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan located in Shafter, California.

This FAQS was prepared pursuant to the SJVAPCD’s Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts (GAMAQI) (SJVAPCD 2015), the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code 21000 to 21189) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 – 15387).

1.2 Statement of Finding
Based on the thresholds established by the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI, the emissions estimates prepared pursuant to this FAQS assessment do not exceed the SJVAPCD’s established emissions significance thresholds for all CEQA air quality contaminants, therefore, this Project would not pose a significant impact to the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin and would have a less than significant air quality impact.

2. PROJECT INFORMATION

2.1 Introduction
The Project site is located in the City of Shafter and will amend the current Marcona Preserve Specific Plan.

The Project includes the construction of 96 single family houses in place of the planned 400-student elementary school. The Project was assessed as if it would be developed in one phase. This assessment examines the projected incremental impacts to air quality posed by this Project to the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin to determine whether or not the Project remains below established air quality thresholds of significance.

2.2 Project Location
The Project site is located in the City of Shafter within the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan. Figure 2-1 depicts the Project location.

3. AIR QUALITY IMPACTS THRESHOLDS AND EVALUATION

METHODOLOGY
Significance thresholds are based on the CEQA Appendix G Environmental Checklist Form (not included herein) and SJVAPCD air quality thresholds (SJVAPCD 2015). A potentially significant impact to air quality, as defined by the CEQA Checklist, would occur if the project caused one or more of the following to occur:
► Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan; ► 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; ► Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations; and/or ► Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number people.

The SJVAPCD has identified quantitative emission thresholds to determine whether the potential air quality impacts of a project require analysis in the form of an Environmental Impact Report. The SJVAPCD air quality thresholds from the GAMAQI are presented in Table 3-1 (SJVAPCD 2015). The SJVAPCD separates construction emissions from operational emissions, and further separates permitted operational emissions from non-permitted operational emissions, for determining significance thresholds for air pollutant emissions.

Criteria pollutant emissions were estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod) version 2022.1.1 (California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) 2022). This project would generate short-term construction emissions and long-term operational emissions.

An air quality evaluation also considers: 1) exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations; and 2) the creation of other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people. The criteria for this evaluation are based on the Lead Agency’s determination of the proximity of the proposed Project to sensitive receptors. A sensitive receptor is a location where human populations, especially children, senior citizens and sick persons, are present, and where there is a reasonable expectation of continuous human exposure to pollutants, according to the averaging period for ambient air quality standards, i.e. the 24-hour, 8-hour or 1-hour standards. Commercial and industrial sources are not considered sensitive receptors.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
This document was prepared pursuant to the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI and provides a cursory review of the Project emissions to demonstrate that it would not exceed established air quality emissions thresholds.

4.1 Short-Term Emissions
Table 4-1 shows the comparison of the construction emission levels for the school site and the single-family housing development using CalEEMod (see Appendix A).

Construction emission estimates also included the following SJVAPCD’s required measures for all projects:
► Water exposed area 3 times per day; and
► Reduce vehicle speed to less than 15 miles per hour.

Based on these anticipated activity levels, the Project construction activities would decrease all criteria pollutants with the exception of ROG emissions when compared to the construction emissions for the current land use. Therefore, the Project would continue to not exceed construction emissions thresholds (Table 4-1) and were found to be less than significant. No further evaluation is required.

No No No No No No

4.2 Long-Term Emissions
Table 4-2 presents the comparison of the long-term operations emissions for the school site and the singlefamily housing development generated from mobile, energy, and area sources as well as from water use and waste generation emissions. Most of these emissions impacts are from mobile sources traveling to and from the Project area.

SJVAPCD Operational Emissions Thresholds 10 10 100 27 15 15 Is Threshold Exceeded? No No No No No No
As calculated (see Appendix A), the long-term operational emissions associated with the proposed Project would create a slight increase in ROG, CO, PM10 and PM2.5 emissions, no increase to SOX emissions, and a decrease in NOX emissions compared to emissions from the currently zoned school site. The Project site would continue to be less than SJVAPCD significance threshold levels and would, therefore, not pose a significant impact to criteria air pollutants.

4.3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Project’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are primarily from mobile source activities. Not all GHGs exhibit the same ability to induce climate change; as a result, GHG contributions are commonly quantified as carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) (see Appendix A). The proposed Project’s operational CO2e emissions were estimated using CalEEMod. These emissions are summarized in Table 4-3.

Table 4-3. Estimated Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions
CO2 Emissions CH4 Emissions N2O Emissions CO2e Emissions metric tons metric tons metric tons metric tons
School Site Operations 840.06 0.95 0.05 878.86
Single Family Housing 1,138.01 1.64 0.05 1,194.69
Incremental Increase 297.95 0.69 0.00 315.83
In the decade after SJVAPCD adopted their Guidance for Valley Land-use Agencies in Addressing GHG Emission Impacts for New Projects under CEQA, several new laws and executive orders were adopted that require additional reductions in years after 2020. For instance, Senate Bill 32 requires that GHG emissions be 40% less than 1990 levels by 2030. More drastic still, Senate Bill 100 which was signed by the Governor recently requires 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2045. On the day SB 100 was signed into law, the Governor also signed Executive Order B-55-18 which commits California to total, economy-wide carbon neutrality by 2045.

Clearly, the 2009 Guidance may be somewhat inadequate in producing a meaningful comparison by today’s standards which propose a grand vision that, if achieved, would fundamentally change how business is conducted and citizens live in the State. Thus, as discussed in the most recent updates to the Scoping Plan, objectives of the Scoping Plan affect all sectors of the economy and it no longer makes sense to evaluate GHG emissions on a project-level.

For these reasons, Project GHG emissions levels presented in Table 4-3 are primarily for disclosure purposes.

The Project’s largest contributors to GHG emissions are from electricity and exhaust from transportation fuels.

Electricity and transportation fuels are, in effect, regulated by requiring providers and importers of electricity and fuel to participate in the GHG Cap-and-Trade Program and other Programs (e.g., low carbon fuel standard, renewable portfolio standard, etc.). Each sector-wide program exists within the framework of AB 32 and its

Marcona Preserve / Focused Air Quality Study
Trinity Consultants 4-3
descendant laws the purpose of which is to achieve GHG emissions reductions consistent with the AB 32 Scoping Plan.

The Project would generate GHGs from electricity use and combustion of gasoline/diesel fuels, each of which is regulated near the top of the supply-chain. As such, each citizen of California (including those creating emissions of this Project) will have no choice but to purchase electricity and fuels produced in a way that is acceptable to the California market. Thus, Project GHG emissions will be consistent with the relevant plan (i.e., AB 32 Scoping Plan). The Project would meet its fair share of the cost to mitigate the cumulative impact of global climate change based on energy purchases from the California market. Thus, consumers of electricity and transportation fuels are in effect regulated by higher level emissions restrictions on the producers of these energy sources. Therefore, the Project would have a less than significant impact on applicable GHG reduction plans and the Project’s contribution to cumulative global climate change impacts would not be cumulatively considerable.

4.4 Potential Impact on Sensitive Receptors
The proposed Project is located in the Marcona Preserve Specific Plan. Sensitive receptors are defined as areas where young children, chronically ill individuals, the elderly, or people who are more sensitive than the general population reside. Schools, hospitals, nursing homes and daycare centers are locations where sensitive receptors would likely reside.

The closest schools are Norris Elementary School and Norris Middle School both located at 1.5 miles to the south of the Project site. The closest hospital is Bakersfield Heart Hospital at 6.3 miles southeast and the closest assisted living facility is The Palms at San Lauren at 4.5 miles to the southeast. The nearest daycare facility is My Little World at 1.4 miles to the south of the Project. There are no known schools, hospitals, or nursing homes within a one-mile radius of the Project.

Based on the predicted operational emissions and activity types, the proposed Project is not expected to affect any on-site or off-site sensitive receptors and is not expected to have any adverse impacts on any known sensitive receptor.

4.5 Potential Impacts to Visibility to Nearby Class 1 Areas It should be noted that visibility impact analyses are not usually conducted for area sources. The recommended analysis methodology was initially intended for stationary sources of emissions which were subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements in 40 CFR Part 60. Since the Project’s emissions are predicted to be significantly less than the PSD threshold levels, an impact at either the Dome Land Wilderness or the Sequoia National Park Areas (the two nearest Class 1 areas to the Project) is extremely unlikely. Therefore, based on the Project’s predicted emissions, the Project is not expected to have any adverse impact to visibility at any Class 1 Area.

4.6 Potential Odor Impacts
The proposed Project is a residential development near other residential developments and agricultural land uses. The residential development is not expected to be a source of nuisance odors. The Project is therefore not anticipated to have substantial odor impacts. The Project is therefore anticipated to have a less than significant odor impact.

4.7 Ambient Air Quality Impacts
As stated in the of GAMAQI (2015, p 96-97), SJVAPCD has developed screening levels for requiring an Ambient Air Quality Analysis (AAQA). The SJVAPCD recommends that an AAQA be performed for all criteria pollutants when emissions of any criteria pollutant resulting from project construction or operational activities exceed the 100 pounds per day screening level, after compliance with Rule 9510 requirements and implementation of all enforceable mitigation measures.

As shown above in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2, average daily emissions for construction and operational activities associated with this Project would not exceed 100 pounds per day. Therefore, an AAQA is not required for this Project.

4.8 Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) Impacts
TACs, as defined by the California Health & Safety Code (CH&SC) §44321, are listed in Appendices AI and AII in AB 2588 Air Toxic “Hot Spots” and Assessment Act’s Emissions Inventory Criteria and Guideline Regulation document. SJVAPCD’s risk management objectives for permitting and CEQA are as follows:
► Minimize health risks from new and modified sources of air pollution. ► Health risks from new and modified sources shall not be significant relative to the background risk levels and other risk levels that are typically accepted throughout the community. ► Avoid unreasonable restrictions on permitting.

The proposed Project would result in emissions of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) of diesel particulate matter (DPM) during construction and would be located near existing residents; however, DPM emissions for construction for the Proposed project would be less than the DPM emissions for construction of the school sire. Therefore, an assessment of the potential risk to the population attributable to emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the proposed Project is not required since the risk would be less than the risk associated with the approved construction of the school site. The potential risk to the population attributable to emissions of HAPs from the proposed Project would be less than significant.

4.9 Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative impacts were also evaluated; however, cumulative emissions were not quantified because no other tentative projects were found within a one-mile radius of the Proposed Project that provided enough project detail information to accurately estimate emissions. Owing to the inherently cumulative nature of air quality impacts, the threshold for whether a project would make a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant cumulative impact is currently based on whether the proposed Project would exceed established project-level thresholds. As such, a qualitative evaluation of the cumulative projects supports a finding that the Project’s contribution would not be cumulatively considerable because the proposed Project’s incremental emissions increase would be less than significant.

5. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the criteria established by the SJVAPCD’s GAMAQI, the proposed Project does not meet the minimum standards to require a full Air Quality Impact Analysis. Furthermore, the Project as proposed would be essentially equal to or less than the impacts associated with the already approve school site and would continue to not exceed the SJVAPCD’s criteria air pollutant emission levels and would generate less than significant air quality impacts.
