AGENDA ITEM
City Council Meeting
TO: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
FROM: Wendy Howard, Finance Director
DATE: October 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Cash & Investment Report for September 30, 2022 FILE NO: F-200-150-015
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff submits for approval the attached Cash & Investment Report for the period ending September 30, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
Effective January 1, 1996, California enacted into law Senate Bills 564 and 866, which outline standards and requirements regarding investment activities for local public agencies. Sound investment policies, conservative management of public funds, and quarterly reporting requirements to the governing body were the main focus of this legislation.
The law requires that the chief fiscal officer submit an investment report to the City Council (governing body) each quarter that consists of the following information:
issuers (bank or institution)
type of investment or description
dollar amount
interest rate
market valuation
percent of each investment within the overall portfolio date of maturity
The source of the valuation of each investment is required to be reported to the City Council.
Additionally, a statement indicating the agency’s ability, or lack thereof, to meet the next six (6) months cash flow requirements is required.
Each of the criteria listed above has been addressed in the attached analysis of the cash and investments that the City held on September 30, 2022. The source of market valuations has been quoted from documents received from the bank or institution that is the issuer of each of the investments. If staff did not receive this information from the bank or institution, market value has been listed as equal to the carrying amount. Additionally, we have indicated whether funds are “restricted” for a particular purpose. Restricted funds are usually the amount of funds required to service the last debt service payment on a loan or funds for special projects (water improvement project and housing rehabilitation).
On an overall basis, the City of Shasta Lake should be able to meet its cash flow requirements for the next six months.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution of Shasta Lake’s Fiscal Year 2022-23 Appropriation Limit.
BACKGROUND:
In November 1979, the voters of the State of California approved Proposition 4, commonly known as the Gann Initiative. The proposition created Article XIIIB of the State Constitution placing limits on the amount of revenue which can be spent by all entities of government. Under Proposition 4, each city is required to calculate the appropriation limits based on 1978-79 revenues. As a result of the proposition, the League of California Cities issued Uniform Guidelines in 1980 to assist cities in interpreting and implementing Proposition 4. Attached are the resolution and the calculations that were used to arrive at the City of Shasta Lake’s Appropriation Limitation. The City is required to approve and adopt this limit each year. Staff has calculated the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Appropriation Limitation to be $6,565,261.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
There are no fiscal impacts during the appropriation limit period referenced above.

Dear Fiscal Officer:
Subject: Price Factor and Population Information
Appropriations Limit
California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2227 requires the Department of Finance to transmit an estimate of the percentage change in population to local governments. Each local jurisdiction must use their percentage change in population factor for January 1, 2022, in conjunction with a change in the cost of living, or price factor, to calculate their appropriations limit for fiscal year 2022-23. Attachment A provides the change in California’s per capita personal income and an example for utilizing the price factor and population percentage change factor to calculate the 2022-23 appropriations limit. Attachment B provides the city and unincorporated county population percentage change. Attachment C provides the population percentage change for counties and their summed incorporated areas. The population percentage change data excludes federal and state institutionalized populations and military populations.
Population Percent Change for Special Districts
Some special districts must establish an annual appropriations limit. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 2228 provides additional information regarding the appropriations limit.
Article XIII B, section 9(C) of the California Constitution exempts certain special districts from the appropriations limit calculation mandate. The code section and the California Constitution can be accessed at the following website
Special districts required by law to calculate their appropriations limit must present the calculation as part of their annual audit. Any questions special districts have on this requirement should be directed to their county, district legal counsel, or the law itself. No state agency reviews the local appropriations limits.
Population Certification
The population certification program applies only to cities and counties. California Revenue and Taxation Code section 11005.6 mandates Finance to automatically certify any population estimate that exceeds the current certified population with the State Controller’s Office. Finance will certify the higher estimate to the State Controller by June 1, 2022.
Please Note: The prior year’s city population estimates may be revised. The per capita personal income change is based on historical data.
If you have any questions regarding this data, please contact the Demographic Research Unit at (916) 323-4086.

Attachment
May 2022
Attachment A
A. Price Factor: Article XIII B specifies that local jurisdictions select their cost of living factor to compute their appropriation limit by a vote of their governing body. The cost of living factor provided here is per capita personal income. If the percentage change in per capita personal income is selected, the percentage change to be used in setting the fiscal year 2022-23 appropriation limit is:
Per Capita Personal Income
Fiscal Year Percentage change
(FY) over prior year
2022-23 7.55
B. Following is an example using sample population change and the change in California per capita personal income as growth factors in computing a 2022-23 appropriation limit.
2022-23:
Per Capita Cost of Living Change = 7.55 percent
Population Change = -0.30 percent
Per Capita Cost of Living converted to a ratio: 7.55 + 100 = 1.0755 100
Population converted to a ratio: -0.30 + 100 = 0.997
100
Calculation of factor for FY 2022-23: 1.0755 x 0.997 = 1.0723

Backwash Separation Tank No. 2 – Bid No. 2022-01
FILE NO.: New
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the City Council consider approving a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $25,000.00 and awarding the Backwash Separation Tank No. 2 project to RTA Construction, Inc. of Redding, CA in the amount of $158,700.00 and approve a total of $175,000.00 to allow for a contract contingency.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns and operates a surface water treatment plant (WTP) at Fisherman’s Point, adjacent to Shasta Dam on property leased from the US Bureau of Reclamation. The WTP is rated to treat up to 6.7 million gallons per day (MGD), but treats an average of approximately 2.5 MGD. The treatment process consists of coarse screening followed by coagulation, flocculation, and filtration in three package Microfloc / Siemens clarifier-filters. Solids formed by the coagulant and flocculation processes, as well as the ambient turbidity of the raw water, are trapped and removed in both the clarifiers and the filters. From these processes, the solids are conveyed to a backwash holding basin. When the basin is full, the contents are pumped to Backwash Separation Tank No. 1 (constructed in 2017), where the liquids and solids are separated. From there, the liquids are returned to the backwash basin for recycling while the solids are thickened in a centrifuge before being taken to the landfill for disposal.
As the lake levels have continued to drop over the years, WTP staff has seen turbidity rise in the raw water influent, which results in a) more solids being retained in the filters and b) more frequent filling of the backwash holding basin. Because of this situation, additional storage volume is needed, and Backwash Separation Tank No. 1 is no longer sufficient. This project consists of constructing Backwash Separation Tank No. 2, which will double the filter effluent storage capacity of the WTP.
Six (6) bids were received on October 13, 2022. All six bids were deemed to be responsive. The bids ranged from a low responsive bid of $158,700.00 to a high responsive bid of $229,000.00.
The lowest responsive bid was about 4% lower than the Engineer’s Estimate of $165,000.00 and the highest responsive bid was about 39% higher than the Engineer’s Estimate. A Bid Summary is attached.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
$150,000.00 of this project is funded through currently budgeted water utility funds (510-340), and the supplemental budget appropriation of $25,000.00 will be funded from Water Utility capital project reserves.

AGENDA ITEM
City Council
November 1, 2022, Agenda
TO: Mayor and City Council,
FROM: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
Jim Hamilton, Annuitant Planner
DATE: November 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Hearing re: Consideration of Ordinance and Resolutions Certifying the 2040 General Plan Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) and Adopting the 2040 General Plan Update and related Land Use Diagram.
FILE NO.: 2020-2040 General Plan Update
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the City Council review the information in the record including the staff report and attachments, open the public hearing and consider any comments received, and if determined appropriate, accept the Planning Commission recommendation that the City Council:
Certify the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 2040 General Plan Update as completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations; and Adopt the 2040 General Plan Update, with those modifications as stipulated in the attached ordinance and resolution.
BACKGROUND:
California state law requires each city to adopt a general plan to direct “…the physical development of the county or city, and any land outside its boundaries which in the planning agency’s judgment bears relation to its planning” (Gov. Code § 65300). Commenced in January 2015, the General Plan Update has been prepared based on the input received at multiple community workshops and outreach efforts, and many noticed public meetings. Input and direction on the Plan has been received from the General Plan Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission and City Council, outside agencies, and the public.
Over the summer the required public review and comment period for the CEQA Environmental Impact Report, and the Draft 2040 General Plan was completed. During August and September, 5 Jessaca Lugo
the Planning Commission reviewed public comments and the contents of the EIR and the Plan at noticed public hearings.
On October 6, 2022, the Commission completed its review, and unanimously recommended Council certification of the EIR and adoption of the General Plan Update. The Commission recommendation included specific modifications and additions to the policy language in the Plan (Conservation and Public Safety Elements), as well as recommendations on modified land use designations for several properties.
2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
The General Plan will apply citywide and addresses topics including land use, housing, transportation, public facilities and infrastructure, community character, public health and safety, preservation of open space, air quality, climate change and sustainability, noise, parks and recreation, economic vitality, and community governance. Once adopted, it will be the foundation upon which future land use decisions, including zoning of property, will be based.
Although, the General Plan Update includes new additions and modifications to the 1999 General Plan to reflect an expanded community vision, and new sections to achieve consistency with current state and local regulations, a large portion of the Update continues many of the goals, policies, and implementation measures of the current General Plan.
Adoption of the 2040 Update will culminate a multiple-year effort to update the 1999 Plan. This effort included the adoption of the 2020-2028 Housing Element and the 2022-2027 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan – both substantial efforts involving public outreach during the development of the Plan and circulation of the environmental review processes. These processes further refined the content and policy direction reflected in the draft 2040 General Plan.
Taken together with certification of the FPEIR and adoption of the 2040 Plan Update, the culmination of these efforts will result in a modern, comprehensive, and legally adequate General Plan. Additional detail is contained in the attachments to this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) The City of Shasta Lake, as lead agency, has prepared a Draft and Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) to provide information to the public, agencies and policy makers about the potential environmental effects that could occur with implementation of the 2040 General Plan Update. CEQA requires a process through which agencies and the public can evaluate the potential environmental effects of implementing the 2040 General Plan Update (the “project”), understand the potential scale of any environmental impacts to the degree feasible, and develop measures to reduce these impacts.
The 2040 General Plan Update was developed as a “self-mitigating” General Plan. Impacts identified in the FPEIR (which incorporates the Draft PEIR) will be mitigated through application of Federal, State, and local laws and regulations; through the application of General Plan policies and programs; and through project level environmental review and mitigation that reflects the implementation of General Plan goals, policies, and actions.
In accordance with §15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines, the EIR describes three (3) reasonable alternatives to the project (2040 General Plan Update), which could feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project and might avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project. As documented in Section 6.0 (Alternatives Analysis) of the DPEIR, three alternatives to the proposed 2040 General Plan were evaluated in accordance with §15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Final PEIR - Findings and Determinations/Statement of Overriding Considerations.
In accordance with Public Resources Code (§21081) and State CEQA Guidelines (§15091), the Council must make one or more written findings addressing any potentially significant impacts associated with approval of the project. The Council must balance the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project - in this case adoption of the 2040 General Plan Update. If the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits, including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits, of the project outweigh the unavoidable environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable." (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14 § 15093).
Section 5.0 of the Final PEIR “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations,” identified that implementation of General Plan 2040 Update project could result in significant and unavoidable impacts in the following environmental areas: Air Quality; Biological Resources; Green House Gases, Climate Change, and Energy; Land Use and Planning; and Transportation.
Given this circumstance, a “Statement of Overriding Considerations” has been prepared for General Plan 2040. As reflected in the FPEIR Section 6.0 “Project Alternatives”, most potentially significant impacts will occur regardless of the alternative chosen, including the “no project alternative” which assumes the 1999 Plan remains in place.
The “Statement of Overriding Considerations” (Exhibit B to “EIR Certification Resolution”) is a written statement explaining the specific reasons why the social, economic, legal, technical, or other beneficial aspects of adopting the Plan Update outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts and why the City is willing to accept such impacts. These reasons include:
1. An increased range of housing opportunities.
2. Increased economic opportunities.
3. An improved transportation and circulation system.
4. Improved preservation and protection of natural resources.
5. Addition of state required climate change goals, policies, and implementation actions.
6. The addition of community health and wellness goals, policies, and implementation actions.
The Statement acknowledges the significant and unavoidable impacts of the implementation of General Plan 2040 Update project, but provides findings supporting the position that General Plan 2040 conveys social, legal, economic, technological, and other benefits that outweigh such impacts. Once the General Plan Update EIR has been certified and the plan adopted, the EIR will then be used to inform and streamline CEQA review for future development projects in the City.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
General Fund and grant funds used to prepare Update.

GENERAL PLAN UPDATE BACKGROUND
Growth Projections
The General Plan 2040 Update reflects both projected growth that is expected through 2040, and total potential growth assuming full buildout of the land area within City limits. The City has a large amount of vacant land area in relation to its total population and its historic growth rates since incorporation.
Buildout of the entire General Plan land area at the maximum development potential for residential, commercial, and industrial development is identified in the Plan but is extremely unlikely to ever be achieved. However, projected growth during the 20-year life of the Plan is based on historic trends in the community over the previous 20 years, and assumes a residential growth rate of 0.9% per year, and a commercial/industrial growth rate of 1.02% as reflected in the following tables:

CITY COUNCIL REPORT -NOVEMBER 1, 2022 2
ATTACHMENT A - BACKGROUND MEMO ON 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Elements
The term “element” refers to the topics that California law requires to be covered in a general plan (Gov.
Code § 65302). Those elements include Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Conservation, Open Space, Noise, Safety and Environmental Justice. Once added into a general plan, each element assumes the same legal standing, and must be internally consistent with the other elements. The City of Shasta Lake is exempt from the requirement to prepare an Environmental Justice Element. The draft Elements are briefly described below.
1) Vision Statement: The Vision Statement is developed in the first part of the planning process and helps shape the direction of General Plan. The vision and its 10 “General Plan Element Goals” guide the development of the goals and policies of the Plan as reflected in the seven mandatory elements. At the public workshops’ participants were asked what they value about the City of Shasta Lake and what they would like to see improved in the future. Areas such as social and economic well-being, physical character of the built environment, arts and culture, growth and development standards, and employment were important issues considered as part of the vision. 2) Land Use Element: The Land Use Element, and the Land Use and Circulation Diagrams (Maps), designate the location, distribution, and extent of all land uses which will shape the future physical development of the City. The Land Use Element sets forth specific goals, policies, and implementation measures to guide land use and community development through 2040. The draft Land Use Element creates 14 separate Land Use Districts in the City. Once the Plan is adopted, these districts will govern the type and intensity of use of properties in the City. The General Plan Land Use Map, Land Use Classifications, and related goals and policies will become the foundation of the update of the City’s Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map which will be required following adoption of the Plan update.
3) Housing Element. The City of Shasta Lake’s Housing Element serves to understand and analyze the City’s housing needs and to develop programs and policies that can help meet those identified needs. The Housing Element is a component of the City’s 2040 General Plan, which demonstrates that the City is adequately planning to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community and that the Housing Element is consistent with other elements of the General Plan. The Housing Element was adopted in 2021, and will be in place through 2028 when the next update of the Element must be completed.
4) Circulation Element: The Circulation Element focuses on the movement of people, goods, energy, water, sewage, storm drainage, and communication through the City of Shasta Lake. The policies and implementation actions in the Land Use Element tie directly to those in the Circulation Element. Creating connected and complete systems of circulation and utility networks requires coordination between land use and circulation planning. 5) Conservation Element: The City of Shasta Lake is home to a range of natural resources that help define the City’s identity, and that are relied upon for continued economic prosperity. This element addresses the conservation, development, and utilization of the water, forests, soils and minerals, wildlife and energy conservation. The Conservation Element establishes goals for the retention, enhancement, and development of these natural resources in coordination with the CITY COUNCIL REPORT -NOVEMBER 1, 2022 3
ATTACHMENT A - BACKGROUND MEMO ON 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE Land Use and Open Space Elements. Together, these elements guide conservation efforts by balancing the City’s development policies with environmental preservation. 6) Open Space Element. In California, open space is defined as any parcel or area of land or water that is unimproved and devoted to open-space use. (Cal. Gov. Code § 65560(b)). The General Plan Vision Statement recognizes that parks and recreational amenities are critical to creating a high quality of life for all citizens, and the Open Space Element implements a community vision to protect and enhance the City’s open space resources including trails, parks, and other recreational amenities. The Open Space Element works in coordination with the Land Use and Conservation Elements to achieve the General Plan vision.
7) Public Safety and Community Health Element (including Air Quality and Noise). The City of Shasta Lake is a vibrant and diverse community that strives to provide safety and access to healthy lifestyles to its residents. This element identifies potential hazards and pollution sources, discusses important public safety issues, and highlights other community health, wellness, and safety priorities. The element provides goals, policies, and implementation actions to mitigate and protect the community against associated impacts. Specific topics covered in this element include:
▪ Public Safety and Emergency Response
▪ Natural Hazards
▪ Community Health and Wellness
▪ Environmental Quality (including Noise and Air Quality) The Noise and Air Quality sections were developed utilizing the draft Land Use and Circulation Elements for the needed analysis. The Public Safety Element also includes the “Local Hazard Mitigation Plan” adopted in May 2022, and the SB 379 required “Climate Vulnerability Assessment” which is now a major statewide priority in efforts to protect property and the public from the hazards of flooding and wildland fires.
Public and Agency Comments Considered
Included in this packet are the “Response to Public and Agency Comments with Recommendations Matrix” which was used by the Planning Commission in its consideration. A total of 47 relevant comments were extracted to allow comments to be addressed in an efficient manner by staff and policy makers.
Some individual comments contain multiple requested modifications or additions to Plan goals and policies, or to the direction of the Plan. Several of the comments are applicable to the adopted Housing Element.
In addition, the “Planning Commission’s Recommended Modifications and Additions to the Draft 2040 General Plan Update” are included as well. If accepted by the City Council at time of adoption of the Plan, these changes will be incorporated into the 2040 General Plan Update.

11. Added required CONSERVATION ELEMENT SECTION 5.4 – Conservation of Soil and Mineral Resources
The General Plan Conservation Element includes text and policies which are necessary to comply with state law. The Conservation Element must address the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, including soils and mineral resources [required by CGC 65302(d)].
These resources are considered ofstatewide significance as they are needed to both maintain and repair current infrastructure, and to construct future projects. They are addressed in the General Plan to ensure the continued availability and sustainability of surface soils and subsurface mineral deposits (See Figure 5-7 Mineral Resource Zones, below).
Although included in the 1999 General Plan, this discussion and the related policies were not included in the draft General Plan authorized by the City Council for circulation on January 18, 2022. The Section was provided to the State Department of Conservation for review, and added to the draft Plan prior to public circulation of the Plan on July 25, 2022.
The policy language primarily carries forward policies from the 1999 Plan, but strengthens the requirement that such activities cannot occur be approved where they would preclude successfully achieving implementation of other General Plan goals. Implementation measure CON
5.6 was added to establish a higher level of discretionary review and protection for the environment and surrounding uses.
The complete new Section is available for review in the Draft General Plan provided to the Council in July, and on-line in the Conservation Element: City-of-Shasta-Lake-General-Plan-2040 (cityofshastalake.org), pages 5- 16 through 5-17, and Pages 5-27 through 5-28.

GENERAL PLAN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
11. Response to potential environmental impact identified in Draft PEIR.
Environmental Impact 4.18-5 states: “There could be insufficient water supplies available to serve development under the 2040 General Plan during dry and multiple dry years.” (See Final PEIR Table 4.0-1: “Effects Determined to have a Less-Than-Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated” and recommended Mitigation Measure 4.18-1).
Inclusion of the following Policy and Implementation Actions in the Conservation Element of the General Plan to address the identified potential impacts, thereby supporting the “Self-Mitigating” General Plan policy framework that is a foundational goal of the project. The EIR identifies that to minimize potential water supply impacts during dry and multiple dry years, the City should implement the following policies and actions in the General Plan:
a. Add Policy CON 4.8 to the General Plan Conservation Element: Prior to the approval of major new development, Specific Plans, major infrastructure improvements, or other projects that would result in significant increased demand on existing water supplies, require that projects demonstrate proof of availability of adequate water supply (e.g., that existing supplies are adequate to accommodate the increased project demand, or that improvements to the capacity of the system to meet the increased demand will be made prior to project implementation), and that potential impacts to water supplies will be addressed.
b. Add Implementation Action CON-4.9 to the General Plan Conservation Element: As part of the development review process require new large-scale development to mitigate the potential project demand on the community’s available water supply. c. Add Implementation Action CON-4.10 to the General Plan Conservation Element:
Explore opportunities to develop mechanisms and infrastructure to deliver reclaimed water to city water users from the City’s Wastewater Treatment System and other sources.
12. Response to potential environmental impacts identified in the Draft PEIR Section 4.13 Noise.
Noise modeling developed to complete the analysis of noise impacts from transportation sources in the draft Environmental Impact Report has resulted in the need for modification under Noise Goal HS-8 of Policy HS 8.3, and the addition of Policy 8.4. Inclusion of the following revisions in the Public Safety and Community Health Element – Noise Section of the General Plan to address the identified potential impacts , will support the “Self-Mitigating” General Plan policy framework that is a foundational goal of the project.
EXHIBIT B - CITY COUNCIL GENERAL PLAN ADOPTION RESOLUTION DRAFT 2040 COMMISSION RECOMMENDED GENERAL PLAN MODIFICATIONS 11/01/22
HS-8.3 New development shall use appropriate site planning and building design to reduce undesirable noise impacts in accordance with standards established through the Noise Ordinance. (Modified)
HS-8.4. The noise sensitivity of land uses as established in Figure 7-24 [Figure 4.13-5 of this Draft PEIR] shall be used in the location of new development, new circulation improvements, and preparation of general plan amendments and specific plans. The noise exposure level shall be established by reference to the noise contour maps (Figure 7-26 and Figure 7-27) [Figures 4.13-2,
4.13-3, 4.13-4, and 4.13-7 of this Draft PEIR] or project-specific measurements or calculations made pursuant to the Noise Ordinance. The guidelines in Figure 7-24 [Figure 4.13-5 of this Draft DEIR] shall be applied with the degree of flexibility required in each case to achieve a sound and feasible land use decision. (New)

Response to Public and Agency Comments with Recommendations September 2022
pg. 1
OVERVIEW
The General Plan is comprehensive and long-range in its scope. It will be used on an ongoing basis to direct the City’s decision making, reflecting the community’s commitment that all actions related to the City’s physical development should be consistent with the General Plan vision. The General Plan is a statement of the community’s vision of its long-term or ultimate physical form, as well as its development policies. A city’s general plan is fundamentally the set of policies that govern and guide City actions on which development regulations and decisions must be based. The general plan must be geographically comprehensive, applying throughout the entire incorporated area and the Sphere of Influence. The general plan must also address the full range of issues that affect the City’s physical development.
Purpose
The General Plan is based upon goals and policies. Each has a distinctive meaning and purpose in the planning process. Together, goals and policies serve as the basis for development and progress decisions. They are implemented by legislative and policy actions throughout the city, such as the zoning ordinance, regulations, capital improvement programs, and building code enforcement. The purpose of this document is to provide a consolidated source of requests and comments for policy maker consideration, prior to action to adopt the Shasta Lake General Plan 2040 Update.
The General Plan 2040 Update and related Environmental Impact Report were released for public review on July 25, 2022, and the comment period closed on September 8, 2022. Most comments received from outside agencies and members of the public are focused on land use boundary changes (reflected in the General Plan land use diagram), requests for policy additions or modifications. The consulting team and staff have reviewed these comments, provided responses, and have made recommendations as reflected in the table below. Major requested changes to the Plan are reflected in the table. Minor changes or comments - such as “Scribner” errors (ex: spelling errors, grammar, incorrect references, etc.) - which do not materially affect the meanings or purposes of policy or text are acknowledged, but are not reflected below. Such edits will be made in the Plan prior to final publication following Plan adoption.
Methodology
“Comment analysis” is a process used to compile and combine similar public and agency comments into a format that can be used in organizing, clarifying, and addressing comments. It can also aid in identifying the topics and issues to be evaluated and considered throughout the Plan adoption process. The information in this document is intended to be a summary of the comments received, rather than a statistical analysis.
The analysis process attempts to capture the substantive comments or concerns received on the draft Plan, not general statements or editorial comments about the quality of the Plan. All comments received on or before September 8, 2022 (close of 45-day formal comment period) are addressed where possible. The emphasis in evaluating a comment is on the intent of the comment rather than the number of times a comment was received. All comments were read and analyzed. Comments received during the 45-day review period do not necessarily represent the sentiments of all members of the public or all affected agencies.
Summary of Comments
A total of 47 relevant comments were extracted to allow comments to be addressed in an efficient manner by staff and policy makers. Some individual comments contain multiple requested modifications or additions to Plan goals and policies, or to the direction of the Plan. Several of the comments are applicable to the adopted Housing Element. An update to the Housing Element is not part of this General Plan update process. A comprehensive update to the General Plan Housing Element was adopted by the City Council, and was certified by the State of California in late spring 2020. The next update to the Housing Element should commence in the period 2026-2027. Comments that have been received include a general focus on the following topics:
• Eliminating or reducing impacts from potential habitat removal that could result from development activity envisioned under the Plan, and from the introduction of new development in currently undeveloped areas.
• Changes to natural resources management and protection polices, including suggestions for additional policy language that require implementation of a “creek corridor management program” that will and reestablish creek corridors to their pre-city development condition where possible. • Expanding or modifying Housing Element policies to promote or require regulations that limit or prohibit smoking in multi-family housing developments. • Expanding Public Safety and Community Health Element policies to further aging-in-place opportunities for seniors, and to address youth access to tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. • Expanding and/or modifying transportation related policies in the Plan to further prioritize non-motorized transportation modes and opportunities, and to prioritize non-vehicle related infrastructure improvements over vehicle related road construction.
• Additions of policies relative to energy conservation.

Healthy Shasta. Correction: There are several references to Healthy Shasta being a local ‘organization.’ Healthy Shasta is a collaborative of organizations with a vision to ‘make the healthy choice the easy choice,’ especially around physical activity and healthy eating.
1. The City of Shasta Lake is one of many partners in this collaborative effort.
2. References to Healthy Shasta being an ‘organization’ were noticed on page 7-36 and 7-43.
Comment noted and acknowledged. No modification recommended at this time. "Healthy Shasta" is understood to be a collaborative organization made up of multiple entities and individuals. The term "organization" is generally defined as a collection of people or entities who are involved in pursuing defined objectives. An organization can be a group of entities sharing common interests and purpose, or a social unit that comprises individuals who work together to achieve a common goal. In all cases it is a structured unit where the role, responsibilities, and authorities of each member are defined, and the relationships between the members of the organization are established.

The proposed text modification is appropriate, however the 6th Cycle (2020-2028) update of the Housing Element was completed and adopted in August 2020, and modification or update of the Element is not under consideration at this time.

2.10 Potential Pollution Exposure Near Roadways (Pg. 2-45): Narrative talks about CARB recommendations for siting sensitive land uses at least 500 feet from the freeway; and that there are a low-income apartment projects and market rate single- and multi-family residences within 500-feet of I-5. Locating housing outside of this 500 foot, preferably 1,000 foot, is important, compounded when I-5 northbound is closed, resulting in the backup of idling trucks and vehicles.
1. However there do not appear to be policy or implementation strategies to address this? Consider strategies to rezone properties, restrict construction of sensitive uses, require upgraded air filtration systems, or other strategies to prevent increasing exposures in this area in the future.
Comment noted. No modification recommended at this time. Effectively addressing this comment occurs at time of the updates to the citywide zoning map and the development standards.
Protecting residents from exposure to potential sources of pollution from proximity to circulation routes and roadways is one of several important criteria used in establishing General Plan land use district boundaries. As reflected in the draft General Plan Land Use Diagram, modifications have been made to land use designations to move future residential development away from I-5 where feasible. Due to existing development patterns, and the need to balance sometimes conflicting community development goals, it is not possible to fully eliminate such potential exposures at the General Plan planning stage.
General Plan goals and polices will necessitate substantial modification of the current zoning codes and standards for implementation of these General Plan goals and policies.
Land Use Policies LU-1.3, 1.6, 1.10, and Implementation measure LU-1.7, as well as Policy HS-9.3 (Air Quality), require consideration of land use compatibility, and adoption of appropriate development standards and zoning criteria to "…prevent the overconcentration of land uses in any area of the City where land use intensities, commercial or industrial operations, or increased traffic would adversely impact the safety, health, and quality of life of residents."

The Plan addresses this topic in multiple locations including Figure 4-6 on Pg. 4-17, and in Section 4.7 "Addressing Tradeoff in Transportation Planning" on Pg. 4-18. Circulation Goal CIR-1, and Policies CIR 1.2, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and Implementation CIR 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3., address this topic directly or indirectly.
In addition, text on pg. 4.16 reflects the Plan's acknowledgement of the local commitment to address the need for safety and continued education for all transportation system users (see below):
"Other important aspects of encouraging and growing an active transportation community include:
▪ Public education. Incentive programs, like employee transportation education and incentives, bike-friendly businesses, community events, and bike valet programs, may be effective methods that the City can explore in coordination with SRTA, local nonprofits, and active transportation advocacy groups. ▪ Safety concerns and perceptions. Education and awareness can help reduce safety concerns and perceptions. A large percentage of crashes can be avoided if motorists and bicyclists follow the rules of the road and watch out for each other.
The City will continue to identify programs and projects to increase safety for bicyclists and pedestrians in the community. "

Comment A-15 noted, no change recommended.
• Implementation OS 1.4 Seek to provide five acres of parks to meet neighborhood, community, and habitat protection needs per 1,000 new residents, based on commonly used state or national standards. Strive to maintain a neighborhood park standard of at least 0.9 acres per 1,000 new residents. (Source: Existing Implementation OSR-1, modified).
The 5-acres reflects the broader goal to expand total park and recreation open-space acreage citywide through a variety of means including land donations, project dedication requirements, use of grant funding, and other related efforts.
This Policy language… “Strive to maintain a neighborhood park standard of at least 0.9 acres per 1,000 new residents”… reflects the mandatory park land dedication requirement established pursuant to the Quimby Act and local ordinance, and a focused effort specifically addressing neighborhood needs.

3. Shasta County has high rates of Adverse Childhood Exposures (ACEs), the adverse exposures in childhood, such as abuse, that can continue to negatively impact individuals as adults. Communities can strive to support people in overcoming the impact ACEs have in their lives, reduce intergenerational ACEs, and step up to protect children from ACEs.
Comment A-22 noted, no change recommended at this time.
Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years). For example:
• experiencing violence, abuse, or neglect
• witnessing violence in the home or community
• having a family member attempt or die by suicide
Also included are aspects of the child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding, such as growing up in a household with:
• substance use problems
• mental health problems
• instability due to parental separation or household members being in jail or prison.
Creating and sustaining safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments for all children and families can prevent ACEs and help all children reach their full potential. Addressing the built environment causes that contribute to ACEs is reflected in the discussion, goals, policies and implementation measures of the Housing Element, the Public Safety and Community Health Element, and other elements of the Plan. Direct policy and regulatory actions to respond to the societal problems that result in ACEs requires public services and direction well beyond the scope of the General Plan and city government responsibilities.

Comment P5 noted, no change recommended at this time. Retain draft land use designations.
The draft GP recommended land use change is necessary to remove sensitive receptors from noise and air quality impacts generated by proximity to Interstate 5. As reflected in the Plan and the related EIR, the property will be subject to negative noise and air quality levels generated by traffic on I-5 and Cascade Blvd. The California Air Resources Board recommends siting sensitive land uses (residential uses) at least 500 feet, and preferably 1000 ft from the freeway. The property boundary is approximately 240 ft. from I-5 and is located within the 70 DB noise contour. State law stipulates the maximum allowable exterior noise levels for residential uses is 65 DB.
As identified below, Draft General Plan land use policies reflect the need to reduce health and safety impacts to sensitive land uses () where possible. Retaining the proposed “Industrial – Light” (IL) land use designation would be consistent with the following policies:
POLICY-LU-3.19 Limit residential development and require adequate setbacks or other physical improvements for development next to Interstate 5 to reduce public health impacts from interstate traffic, such as noise and air pollution. (Source: New)
LU POLICY-LU-1.3 Evaluate zoning proposals to prevent the overconcentration of land uses in any area of the City where land use intensities, commercial or industrial operations, or increased traffic would adversely impact the safety, health, and quality of life of residents. (Source: New).

P6 Land Use Christian Young Adjacent property owner to parcel 005-130-081 requested a change in the land use from Commercial-Village Mixed-Use (VMU) to Urban Residential (UR).
Comment P6 noted, recommended modification: Should the land use designation be modified from VMU to UR in the draft Land Use Diagram? Changing the subject parcel from VMU to UR should be reviewed with the property owner prior to a final change being adopted.
Current zoning on the property is R-4, Multiple Family Residential. Due to topographic constraints and the grading required to gain access from Shasta Dam Blvd., access to the property will be gained from Front Street. All properties which access Front Street are currently designated as Urban Residential, and many are developed with single-family homes. There is no other commercially designated property which accesses Front Street within 850 feet of the property.
Introducing commercial activity and traffic to a developed residential street should be avoided if possible to avoid potential use conflicts. Consideration should be given to modifying the land use boundary to designate the property as “Urban Residential” (UR). Allowable densities for Urban Residential are 6-12 DU/Acre.

The comment may be referencing the General Plan scoping meetings which occurred prior to publishing of the draft General Plan (see Draft GP pgs. 1-15, 1-20). Several in-person and virtual workshops and open houses were held to help identify common themes and visions for the GP Update, to gather ideas on key planning issues, and discuss alternatives, concepts, and policy frameworks. This input was refined into “Vision Statements” which guided development of the Plan. If an idea, policy, or objective would help advance the vision it was included in the plan.
The goals, policies and measures of the General Plan provide the basis for establishing and setting priorities for detailed plans and implementing programs, including development-related programs and natural resource management programs. “Creek management plans and oak woodland designations and protection” are specific implementation actions that can be implemented by the City Council, and are supported by the goals and polices identified below.
The draft General Plan now also includes establishment of a Natural Resource Overlay Zone. This zone provides for the protection of significant habitat and natural resources at the time citywide zoning occurs following General Plan adoption.

The goals, policies and measures of the General Plan provide the basis for establishing and setting priorities for detailed plans and implementation programs and measures, including natural resource related programs and natural resource protection standards. The comments request the addition of multiple specific implementation actions, which are addressed in the draft Plan as circulated. Such specific measures are typically addressed with adoption of an updated Development Code or other General Plan implementation action following adoption of the Plan, or in response to specific development project impacts. The requested measures are addressed by the draft goals and polices identified above in Response P7 and in response to comments below, and/or could be implemented should the Draft Plan be adopted as circulated.
A Natural Resource Overlay has been identified in the draft General Plan Land Use Element to protect sensitive habitats and potentially hazardous areas from development, including areas with slopes greater than 20 percent, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zones, and designated wetlands, river and stream corridors and surrounding wetlands to support protections for wildlife habitat and for water quality functions, such as pollutant removal, floodwater reduction, and greenhouse gas reduction. Regulating development in these areas is envisioned by the draft Plan goals and policies in order to balance these resources with appropriate development practices.
The Plan recognizes that the undeveloped foothills and forest resources are some of the City’s defining physical characteristics and open space resources. Goals, policies, and measures have been included in the Land Use, Open Space and Conservation Elements to protect these resource from negative development impacts. Proper maintenance and mitigation on open space within the City is also critical for wildfire protection. Section 6.5 of the Plan discusses open space for public health and safety benefits in more detail.

Pat Lind “Overview of Shasta Lake’s watercourses, riparian zones and wetlands. Shasta Lake’s nine named creeks and wetlands provide: flood control, freshwater habitat, riparian habitat, scenic enjoyment, water quality, educational opportunities, public safety, fish and wildlife habitat (e.g., fish spawning and migration, wildlife nesting and foraging areas), open space, recreation and groundwater recharge. These creeks also have tributaries with similar feature and functions.
The city will adopt a creek management plan (CMP) and have included creek zone, flood hazard, erosion and sedimentation, vegetation and wildlife, water quality and public awareness / education. The creek management plan should be adopted to address land uses that have significantly altered Shasta Lakes creeks from original condition.
Past land use practices which produced large amounts of sediment, contributing to creek degradation. Alterations also included underground culverts and large culverts above ground which prevent or severely limit access for anadromous fish, as chinook salmon.
Except for small area off twin view blvd for salt creek and some area on churn creek below sewage plant, riparian forests have been completely removed from at least half of each stream channel. Pollutants from a variety of sources (including petroleum products from urban run-off and suspended sediments from soil erosion) degrade the appearance and the biological integrity of the Comment P9 noted, no change to Plan recommended.
Incorporation of the requested language would mandate that the City Council establish and fund a “creek management” program.
The text and policy language of the draft Plan comprehensively address the need to protect environmentally sensitive wetlands, creeks, and habitat areas - see responses to Comments P7 and P8, and Land Use, Conservation, and Open Space Elements of the draft Plan. Development and establishment of appropriate zoning classifications and regulatory practices related to creeks and wetlands occurs as part of the effort to amend the development code and complete the comprehensive rezoning of property following adoption of the General Plan. Regulating development to protect environmentally sensitive areas is envisioned by the draft Plan in order to balance protection of natural resources with future development necessary to achieve the vision expressed in the Plan.
The City’s LHMP (a GP attachment) includes mapping of the FEMA-designated floodplains and the identification of the applicable FEMA Flood Insurance Map (FIRM). The Open Space Element includes a natural resource overlay also depicting FEMA-designated floodplains and designated wetlands (OS-Fig 6-1). Creek corridors are reflected in the Plan (See Figure 5-3). A Natural Resource Overlay has been instituted in the City General Plan Land Use Element to protect sensitive habitats and hazardous areas from development, including areas with slopes greater than 20 percent, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood zones, and designated wetlands.
POLICY-OS-1.1 Seek to protect riparian habitat along significant creek corridors. The following measures are identified to provide the riparian habitat protection:
- Regulation of vegetation removal,
- Design of grading and road construction,

Objective. Enhance, maintain, and restore the biological integrity of entire steam courses (headwaters to mouth), and their associated riparian habitats, as natural features in the City’s landscape.
• Designation of protected streams. The provisions of this policy shall apply to those streams shown on the Protected Watercourse Map.
These watercourses and their associated riparian areas serve as habitat for fish and wildlife, provide space for the flow of stormwater runoff and flood waters, and furnish open space and recreational areas for city residents.
• Environmental Buffer Area (EBA). A streamside protection area is hereby established along both sides of the streams identified on the City Watercourse Map. The purpose of the EBA is to remain in a natural state in order to protect streams’ ecosystems and their associated riparian habitat areas. The EBA shall include:
1. In areas where existing development, as defined in the Land Use Code, is adjacent to the stream, the EBA shall be not less than 25 feet outward on both sides of the stream, measured from the top of bank.
2. In all other locations within the City, the EBA shall be not less than 100 feet outward on both sides of the stream, measured from the top of bank.
3. In locations within the City having significant areas of riparian vegetation exceeding 100 feet in width measured from the top of bank, the EBA shall be Comment P10 noted, no change recommended.
See responses to Comments P7 through P9, above. The text and policy language of the Plan address these topics comprehensively. The recommendations would establish specific development standards related to environmental buffers and mandatory setbacks from environmentally streams in the General Plan. Development and establishment of appropriate zoning classifications and regulatory practices related to creeks and wetlands occurs will be part of the effort to amend the development code and complete the comprehensive rezoning of property that is required following adoption of the General Plan. The following policy specifically addresses the obligation to establish setbacks from environmentally sensitive areas at the time of update to the Development Code.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT -NOVEMBER 1, 2022 1
ATTACHMENT B - CEQA PROCESS BACKGROUND ON 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION BACKGROUND
California Environmental Quality Act – Draft and Final PEIR The City of Shasta Lake, as lead agency, prepared an Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) to provide the public and interested agencies with information about the potential environmental effects that could occur due to implementation of the 2040 General Plan. The 2040 General Plan is a comprehensive update of the existing General Plan and is intended to guide investment, development, and conservation in the City through the year 2040. The PEIR includes information about the 2040 Plan Update (the preferred alternative), and three alternatives to the project including the alternative of retaining the 1999 Plan (without update). The decision to certify the FPEIR as recommended by the Commission, now lies with the City Council.
In accordance with State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15082 and 15083, public and agency involvement in preparation of the PEIR commenced with the publication of the “Notice of Preparation” of the DPEIR on July 30, 2021. The NOP was circulated to Native American Tribal representatives, state, regional, and local agencies, and interested members of the public for a 30-day public review (i.e., scoping) period. Scoping is used to determine what potential environmental impacts will be studied in the EIR. (See Section 2.0 of Draft PEIR). A public scoping meeting to receive comments from the public and responsible agencies on the content of the DEIR was held on August 9, 2021.
The Draft PEIR was made available to the public and interested agencies for a 45-day public review period on July 25, 2022, and closed on September 8, 2022. Hard copies of the Draft General Plan and the Draft PEIR were provided to the City Council and the Planning Commission for review in July 2022.
Four (4) noticed Planning Commission public meetings to review and accept comment on the Plan and the Draft EIR were held on August 18, September 13, September 22, and October 6, 2022. Notices of the availability of the Plan and EIR were published in the Redding RecordSearchlight (one-eighth page), summitted to OPR, and sent to affected agencies. Individual mailed notices were also sent to 176 individual property owners whose properties were affected by a change in land use designation(s).
As documented in the FPEIR, the Planning Commission determined that no substantial evidence was presented in the comment letters to support a fair argument that adoption and implementation of the 2040 General Plan Update would cause a significant impact on the environment; therefore, no revisions to the DPEIR were necessary in response to the comments received. Detailed responses to all comments are available for review in the administrative record of the project.
Final PEIR, Findings and Determinations - Statement of Overriding Considerations.
CEQA requires the decision-making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project (adopt the 2040 Plan). If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits, including region-wide or statewide environmental benefits, of a project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered "acceptable." (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14 § 15093).
CITY COUNCIL REPORT -NOVEMBER 1, 2022 2
ATTACHMENT B - CEQA PROCESS BACKGROUND ON 2040 GENERAL PLAN UPDATE As disclosed in the CEQA “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations,” implementation of General Plan 2040 could result in significant and unavoidable impacts in the following areas: Air Quality; Biological Resources; Green House Gases, Climate Change, and Energy; Land Use and Planning; Transportation. The specific facts supporting this position are provided in the exhibits of the CEQA resolution presented for Council consideration.
Given this circumstance, a statement of overriding considerations has been prepared for General Plan 2040. The Statement of Overriding Considerations (Attachment to FPEIR Certification Resolution) is a written statement explaining the specific reasons why the social, economic, legal, technical, or other beneficial aspects of the proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts and why the City may be willing to accept such impacts.
The statement of overriding considerations acknowledges the significant and unavoidable impacts of the implementation of General Plan 2040 project, but provides findings supporting the position that the 2040 General Plan Update conveys social, legal, economic, technological, and other benefits that outweigh such impacts.
For the reasons documented in the FPEIR, the benefits of adopting the 2040 General Plan include:
1. Increased range of housing opportunities.
2. Increased economic opportunities.
3. Improved transportation system.
4. Improved preservation of natural resources.
5. Addition of climate change goals, policies, and implementation actions (per state law).
6. Addition of community health and wellness goals, policies, and implementation actions.
NOTE:
The content of the “Statement of Overriding Considerations” is reflected in Section 7.0, page 14, of the “Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations” of the Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 2040 General Plan Update (Attached).

Shasta Lake 2040 General Plan
1.0 Introduction
This Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) for the City of Shasta Lake’s 2040 General Plan update was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code §21000-§21189) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, §15000-§15387). The State Clearinghouse Number for the project is 2021070574.
The Draft PEIR (DPEIR) 1 was made available to the general public and interested agencies for a 45- day public review period, beginning on July 25, 2022, and ending on September 8, 2022. The DPEIR is incorporated herein by reference in accordance with §15150 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Pursuant to §15132 of the CEQA Guidelines, a final EIR must consist of:
a. The draft EIR or a revision of the draft EIR;
b. Comments and recommendations received on the draft EIR; c. A list of persons, organizations, and public agencies that submitted comments on the draft EIR;
d. The lead agency’s responses to significant environmental points raised in the review and consultation process.
2.0 Comments and Responses to Comments on the DPEIR
During the 45-day comment period for the DPEIR, the City received comment letters (emails) from:
Timothy Hinkson, Sergeant with the California Highway Patrol Gracious Palmer, City of Shasta Lake citizen
These comment letters are included in Appendix A. Following each comment letter is a response by the City that clarifies information included in the DPEIR and/or refers the reader to the section of the DPEIR where the information can be found. Comments that are not directly related to environmental issues or the DPEIR are noted.
As documented in Appendix A, no substantial evidence was presented in the comment letters to support a fair argument that implementation of the 2040 General Plan would cause a significant impact on the environment, other than the significant environmental impacts raised in the DPEIR; therefore, no revisions to the DPEIR are required in response to written comments on the DPEIR. 1 Draft Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2040 General Plan Update (State Clearinghouse Number 2021070574). https://ceqanet.opr.ca.gov/2021070574/3

4.0 Conclusions
Pursuant to §15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, a lead agency is required to recirculate an EIR when significant new information is added to the EIR after public notice is given that the draft EIR is available for public review but before the EIR is certified. New information is not considered significant unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect. As described in §15088.5 of the CEQA Guidelines, revisions could be considered significant and require recirculation of a draft EIR if:
A new significant environmental impact would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure.
A substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless mitigation is adopted to reduce the impact to a level of insignificance. A feasible project alternative or mitigation measure considerably different from those previously analyzed would clearly lessen the environmental impacts of the project, but the alternative or mitigation measure is not adopted.
The draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment were precluded.
As documented in Section 3.0 (Revisions to the DPEIR), the revisions to the land use designations described in Table 1 required recalculation of the acreages for certain land use designations as well as modifications to the development, population and employment projections identified in the DPEIR. Table 2 and Table 3 provide a comparison between the existing 1999 General Plan and the proposed 2040 General Plan, and identify the revised calculations for the applicable land use revisions.
As shown in Table 4, the revisions resulted in an increase of 18 acres of land designated as Public Facilities; a decrease of three acres of land designated Open Space; a decrease of 30 acres of land designated ROW/Easement; and an increase of one acre of public (government) land. The revisions shown in Table 4, for the most part, include corrections that are needed to reflect existing land uses and would not change the conclusions reached in the DPEIR.
As shown in Table 5 the revisions to residential land use designations resulted in an increase of 15 dwelling units and a population increase of 37 over what was analyzed in the DPEIR for the 20-year planning period; annual projections for residential units increased by one. As shown in Table 6, revisions to commercial and industrial land use designations resulted in a decrease of 2,973 square feet and a decrease of 4 jobs below what was analyzed in the DPEIR for the 20-year planning period; annual projections for commercial and industrial uses decreased by 150 square feet. The revisions would not significantly increase or decrease the development potential of lands within the City.
Tables 7 through 10 demonstrate that the revisions to land use designations identified in Table 1 would result in negligible changes in the water supply and demand projections that were identified in the DPEIR, and there would be no change in the conclusions reached regarding the effectiveness of the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
Shasta Lake 2040 General Plan
Because the revisions to land use designations would result in only a minor change in growth projections, no further analysis of potential environmental effects is warranted. As shown in Table 11, the revisions would not significantly change the comparison of project alternatives and would not change the conclusions reached in the Alternative Analysis (Section 6.0 of the DPEIR). The revisions identified in Table 12 merely enhance two of the proposed Implementation Actions, reflect minor modifications resulting from revisions to land use designations, and correct minor typographical errors contained in the DPEIR.
The revisions do not constitute significant new information, would not result in new significant environmental impacts, and do not alter the conclusions of the environmental analysis contained in the DPEIR. Therefore, recirculation of the DPEIR is not required.

Shasta Lake 2040 General Plan
1.0 OVERVIEW
The City of Shasta Lake, as lead agency, prepared a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (DPEIR) to provide the public and interested agencies with information about the potential environmental effects that could occur due to implementation of the 2040 General Plan. The 2040 General Plan is a comprehensive update of the existing General Plan and is intended to guide investment, development, and conservation in the City through 2040.
The DPEIR was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code §21000-§21189) and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, §15000-§15387) and was made available to the general public and interested agencies for a 45-day public review period. The agency review period managed by the State Clearinghouse and the general public review period ended on September 8, 2022.
Pursuant to CEQA §21091(d)(1), the lead agency must consider comments it receives on a draft EIR if those comments are received within the public review period, and may choose to respond to late comments. In accordance with §15088 of the CEQA Guidelines, the lead agency shall respond to comments that raise significant environmental issues. The written response must be detailed, especially when specific comments or suggestions (e.g., revisions to the project to mitigate anticipated impacts) are not accepted by the lead agency.
The level of detail contained in the response, however, may correspond to the level of detail provided in the comment (i.e., responses to general comments may be general). A general response may be appropriate when a comment does not contain or specifically refer to readily available information, or does not explain the relevance of evidence submitted with the comment (§15088 of the CEQA Guidelines).
2.0 PUBLIC AND AGENCY COMMENTS
The City received two comment letters (emails) that addressed the DPEIR before the end of the comment period. Comments were submitted by Timothy Hinkson, Sergeant with the California Highway Patrol, and Gracious Palmer, a City of Shasta Lake citizen. Each letter/email is included below and is followed by responses to the comments.
Additional comments were submitted to the City that were specific to the proposed 2040 General Plan but did not address the content or adequacy of the DPEIR. These comments are addressed under separate cover and will be provided to the Planning Commission and City Council for their consideration.
3.0 CONCLUSION
As documented herein, no substantial evidence was presented in the comment letters to support a fair argument that implementation of the 2040 General Plan would cause a significant impact on the environment, other than the significant environmental impacts raised in the DPEIR; therefore, no revisions to the DPEIR are required in response to the comments.

Subject: Redding Area (135) Response to Environmental Document Review – SCH # 2021070574 The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Redding Area, has reviewed the Environmental Impact Document (SCH 2021070574) proposed by the City of Shasta Lake. The CHP Redding Area was asked to evaluate potential traffic safety and congestion issues relative to the proposed project located within the City of Shasta Lake in relation to development for future expansion.
The proposed magnitude of the project (+2,500 Acres) would likely place a greater strain on limited public safety resources with the expected increase in vehicular traffic on State Route 151, Interstate 5 and unincorporated county roads within Shasta County. The proposed project is located directly in connection with State Route 151 and Interstate 5 which traverse through the middle of the City of Shasta Lake. These roadways already suffer from heavy congestion during peak periods of use and during special events in the City of Shasta Lake and Shasta County. This project could have a negative impact on CHP Redding operations due to the increased traffic congestion, which could necessitate the need for additional traffic control measures to mitigate the potential increase in traffic collisions within our jurisdiction. The potential impact to CHP operations are as follows:
Increased Traffic – This would potentially increase traffic congestion and calls for service on Interstate 5. This increase in workload could have a negative impact on response times to calls for service. Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety – With increased housing, including additional new roadways, comes the concern of increased vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. Potential concerns include the design of roadways of sufficient size to accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists at concurrent times while keeping safety paramount. This could also potentially increase traffic congestion and calls for service, negatively impacting CHP Redding’s ability to respond to calls for service in a timely manner.

Shasta Lake 2040 General Plan
Increased Heavy Truck Traffic – The addition of housing and businesses would increase delivery of goods and products to local retailers and residential customers. A review of current truck routes and approved hazardous materials routes would need to be completed to ensure an efficient flow of traffic on all state highways and local roads. A review to ensure the roads are capable of the increased truck traffic to include the increased size and weight associated with heavy truck traffic. School Bus Routing – CHP Redding oversees school bus operations within Shasta County, and with increased housing and new roadways, school bus routes would need to be revised which would include a review of any new bus stops by CHP Redding. CHP Redding is also responsible for school bus driver testing and licensing within Shasta County. With increased residential housing, this would cause an increased workload for CHP Redding to review and approve school bus stops and to process and approve school bus driver applicants. Furthermore, the safety of children at all school bus stops is the highest priority, and locations would need to be safe and suitable for existing vehicular traffic, pedestrian, bicyclist and a school bus at concurrent times.
Additional Enforcement Demands – Increased housing and new roadways brings more vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, which all use roadways within California. CHP Redding would have an increased workload to ensure traffic safety remains paramount. Additionally, CHP Redding could incur more congestion of local roads, state highways, and state freeways. Increased congestion increases calls for service, which ultimately reduces the response times as the call volume increases. Reduction of Jurisdiction – With the proposed expansion project, the City of Shasta Lake could potentially expand its city limits thereby causing a reduction of CHP Redding jurisdiction on local roads.
If you have any questions regarding these concerns, please contact CHP Redding at (530) 225-0500.

Shasta Lake 2040 General Plan
LETTER 1 Responses
Comment 1-1: The Commenter states that the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report prepared for the 2040 General Plan. He states that due to the magnitude of the project and increased traffic on State Route 151 (SR 151), Interstate 5 (I-5), and unincorporated county roads within Shasta County, it would likely place a greater strain on limited public safety resources. These roadways already suffer from heavy congestion during peak periods of use and during special events.
Increased traffic congestion could result in the need for additional traffic control measures to mitigate potential traffic collisions. Increased traffic congestion and calls for service on I-5 could increase workload and have a negative impact on response times.
Response 1-1: Also see Response 1-5. Included as Appendix E to the DPEIR is a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared for the 2040 General Plan by Ganddini Group.
The TIA addresses potential traffic impacts that could occur as a result of implementation of the 2040 General Plan. The study analyzed 19 intersections and 48 roadway segments throughout the City and identified both existing and future (2040) levels of service (LOS) in these locations. LOS A, B, and C are considered acceptable. LOS D, E, and F are considered unacceptable.
The TIA concludes that all 48 roadway segments that were studied currently operate at acceptable LOS, and would continue to operate at acceptable levels over the 20-year planning period. As stated in Section 4.17 (Transportation) of the DPEIR on page 4.17-12, three intersections currently operate at LOS D: Mussel Shoals Avenue/Grand Coulee Boulevard at SR 151 (AM and PM peak hours), Cascade Boulevard at SR 151 (AM and PM peak hours), and South Cascade Boulevard at Pine Grove Avenue (PM peak hour).
Over the 20-year planning period, one additional intersection would operate at an unacceptable level: I-5 northbound ramps at Pine Grove Avenue (LOS F during the PM peak hour). The intersection of Mussel Shoals Avenue/Grand Coulee Boulevard at SR 151 would worsen to LOS E during the PM peak hour, and the intersection of South Cascade Boulevard at Pine Grove Avenue would worsen to LOS F during the PM peak hour. DPEIR Table 4.17-6 on page
4.17-13 identifies improvements to these intersections that would result in acceptable LOS A or B.
The DPEIR also analyzes traffic collisions that have occurred in the City between 2015 and 2021 (see discussion under Impact 4.17-3, beginning on
systemic safety countermeasures for high-risk roadways in the City, based on the evaluation of collision data described in the DPEIR and the City’s Local Road Safety Plan.
Future projects in the City will be evaluated to determine project-specific impacts related to traffic congestion and traffic hazards. Projects must be Comments and Responses to Comments Page 5

consistent with the General Plan policies and implementation actions related to the transportation system, including those identified in DPEIR Section 4.17.4.
In addition, the City has been successful obtaining funding for roadway safety improvements and will continue to pursue funding opportunities.
There is no evidence to suggest that the analysis and conclusions in the TIA and DPEIR regarding current and projected traffic volumes, LOS, traffic hazards, or necessary improvements are inaccurate. No revisions to the DPEIR or mitigation measures are necessary.
Comment 1-2: The Commenter states that the design of roadways must be of sufficient size to accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists at concurrent times to minimize congestion and calls for service.
Response 1-2: As stated under Impact 4.17-1 on page 4.17-31 of the DPEIR, the Circulation Element of the 2040 General Plan focuses on developing a transportation system that meets the needs of all segments of the population through a “complete streets” approach.
Policy CIR-1.9 requires that the specific needs of the population be considered when designing roadways, including bicycle and pedestrian access, transit and drop-off needs, and safety around crosswalks, intersections, and roundabouts. Policy CIR-2.1 requires that the City monitor, maintain, and improve as necessary, the operation, safety, and performance of the street system, including roadway surfaces, capacity, and traffic calming. Policy CIR-2.1 also calls on the City to strive to achieve a LOS C or better and reduce vehicle miles travelled to minimize potential congestion and increase safety on streets and at intersections.
Implementation Action CIR-4.4 requires development projects to construct street improvements at the time of property development (unless deferred for good cause). Future roadways would be constructed in accordance with the City’s Construction Standards, which include street cross sections based on the classification of the road (i.e., arterial, major collector, minor collector, local). Additional policies and implementation actions related to the City’s transportation system are identified in Section 4.17.4 of the DPEIR.
Implementation of the 2040 General Plan would have a beneficial effect on the City’s transportation system by enhancing safety on the roadway system and promoting alternative travel modes, including transit, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation systems. No revisions to the DPEIR or mitigation measures are necessary.
Comment 1-3: The Commenter expresses concern with increased heavy truck traffic and states that the addition of housing and businesses would increase delivery of goods and products to the area. A review of truck routes and approved hazardous materials routes needs to be completed to ensure efficient flow of traffic on all State highways and local roads. In addition, an evaluation should be done to ensure that roads can accommodate the increased size and weight associated with heavy truck traffic.
