The City of San José has a naming policy to guide the naming of public land and facilities. This revision updates the criteria and process to be used in considering the naming or renaming of public land and facilities, other than City streets, which is covered in City Council Policy 6-5.

PURPOSE
To establish Council policy regarding the determination of names to be given to City-owned land and facilities that are not City streets.

POLICY

It is the Policy of the City of San José to encourage:

1. Naming which reflects the City's ethnic and cultural diversity;

2. Recognition of distinct geographic, environmental or developmental features, or names of historical significance in naming City lands and facilities;

3. Recognition of individuals who have made a significant contribution to San José, the State, the Nation or the World;

as approved by the City Manager,
unless otherwise approved by City Council.

BACKGROUND
The City Council of the City of San José is responsible for the naming of City-owned land and facilities. From time to time, the public desires to have City-owned land and facilities such as parks, athletic fields, the airport and golf courses, be named after venerated individuals, geographic features, or prominent organizations. Furthermore, the policy creates opportunities for the City to attract potential donors and sponsors who contribute significant funds to assist

4. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Joint Use Lease Agreement and any related documents necessary for its implementation; and

5. Approve the conceptual site plan for the Project.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Stanton and Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) have maintained a longstanding partnership to provide recreational opportunities for the community. Since 1983, the City and District have collaborated under a joint use agreement allowing the community to utilize a 4.3-acre portion of the Carver Early Childhood Education Center for recreational purposes. This partnership has been sustained through five amendments.

In March 2021, the City applied for grant funding from the California Department of Parks and Recreation under the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (Proposition 68) to enhance recreational opportunities at the site.

In May 2022, the State Parks Department awarded the City $7,691,059 for the Norm Ross Sports Park Improvement Project (Project). The grant funding agreement requires that the City and District enter into a formal Joint Use Lease Agreement to govern the longterm operation and maintenance of the Project site. The proposed Joint Use Lease Agreement for the proposed Norm Ross Sports Park Improvement Project (Project) is attached hereto as Attachment B.

The proposed Project entails, among other things, the proposed development of a little league baseball field, lighting poles, two shaded bleachers, two shaded dug outs, a field storage structure, a U-12 soccer field, a multipurpose sports court, a playground, a courtyard amphitheater, shaded picnic areas, fitness equipment, a community garden, a storage building, a park building with restrooms, a new water basin, a new pedestrian bridge, a new perimeter wall on the east and southside of the Project site, new perimeter fencing on the west and northside of the Project site, a utility/emergency entrance, a utility access area, a small and large dog park, and the upgrading of an existing pedestrian bridge. A conceptual site plan for the proposed Project has been prepared, attached hereto as Attachment C.

An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) (State Clearinghouse Number 2025050080) has been prepared for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and the IS/MND is attached hereto as Attachment D. The IS/MND analyzed the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project, and it concludes 3 that the Project will not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts to the environment. The IS/MND further identifies mitigation measures to mitigate any potential impacts to a level of less than significant. These mitigation measures are set forth in both the IS/MND and in a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) prepared for the Project, attached hereto as Attachment E.

ANALYSIS AND JUSTIFICATION:

The proposed Joint Use Lease Agreement establishes a 30-year initial term, with the possibility of two (2) five-year renewal terms, allowing for the continued joint operation of the Norm Ross Sports Park.

The Project will redevelop the 4.3-acre site into a modern community park. Upon completion, the City and District will jointly operate the facility in accordance with State Grant requirements, ensuring that the site remains a valuable community asset for years to come. The agreement allows the District to use the site without paying fees, and the City will not charge the District for joint use. Additionally, the entirety of the maintenance costs of the park will be the City's responsibility.

Approval of the Joint Use Lease Agreement will ensure the successful completion and operation of the Project, strengthening the City’s partnership with GGUSD and expanding recreational opportunities for residents. Staff recommends City Council approval and authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement and related documents. Staff further recommends that the City Council adopt the MND and MMRP prepared for the Project under CEQA, as well as the conceptual site plan for the Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with executing the Joint Use Lease Agreement, approving the conceptual site plan for the Project, or adopting the MND and MMRP for the Project. The $7,691,059 in State Grant Funds will cover the majority of the cost of the Project and will be supplemented by $2 million from Park in Lieu Fees. Ongoing maintenance and operational costs will be borne by the City, with opportunities for cost recovery through programming and facility use fees to be identified after full design is complete.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

An IS/MND has been prepared for the Project under CEQA, and the IS/MND concluded that the Project will not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts to the environment.

The City shall ensure strict compliance with all applicable fingerprinting and criminal background investigation requirements set forth in California Education Code section 45125.1, which may be met under the fingerprinting provisions of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations and applicable provisions of the California Health and Safety Code relevant to community care facility licensing. (Health & Safety Code, § 1500 et seq.) and any other relevant federal, state, or local laws, regulations, and orders related to working with minors. This requirement applies to all City employees, contractors, subcontractors, agents, volunteers, or any other individuals (collectively, "Personnel") engaged by the City who may interact with District pupils during activities at the Joint Use Area, pursuant to Education Code section 45125.1(c). (Educ. Code, §§ 45125.1(a)&(c).)

39.2. Before any City Personnel begin work or participate in activities at the Joint Use Area that may interact with District pupils within the purview of California Education Code section 45125.1, the City shall complete and submit EXHIBIT F to the District to verify compliance with the fingerprinting and criminal background investigation requirements. The City shall also maintain a comprehensive list of all City Personnel who have received background clearance pursuant to this Agreement as well as all completed EXHIBIT F Certifications.

39.3. In situations where District pupils are present on the Joint Use Area under District supervision for participation in a program or event specifically directed at District pupils for which the City and District partner together, the City must ensure that only cleared City Personnel are allowed to be present or engage in activities on-site at the Joint Use Area.

39.4. The City understands and acknowledges that compliance with these requirements is critical to the safety and well-being of District pupils. Any failure by the City to comply shall be considered a breach of this Agreement and may constitute cause for termination pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, provided that the City is unable to cure such violation within 60 calendar days after receipt of such written notice, or within a period that the Parties agree to in writing. The City agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the District, its Board members, employees, and agents from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, or damages arising out of or related to the City’s failure to comply with these fingerprinting and criminal background investigation requirements.

Criteria #3 - Type of
Project
Renovation of an existing park
A) What RECREATION
FEATURE(s) will be
added or renovated in
the existing PARK?
· Installation of new baseball and softball diamond, and multi-purpose field and multi-sport court for basketball, volleyball and pickleball · Group picnic area with picnic tables, grills and shade structures · New biking/walking/jogging trail around perimeter of park site with a bridge · Outdoor exercise equipment · New splash pad · Build new community building · Installation of event plaza with outdoor flex space · Installation of new playground · Installation of community gardens · Benches, water fountains and various furniture elements installed throughout the park · Installation of dog park
B) Why is it not
feasible or desired to
create a NEW PARK
in a CRITICALLY

UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITY, or add

NEW PARK SPACE
ADJACENT to the
proposed PROJECT
SITE?
It is not feasible to create a new park in this area since the City is almost completely built out with few vacant parcels appropriate for outdoor recreational opportunities. Located in the populous County of Orange, the City is surrounded on all sides by other municipalities and various residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. The most cost-effective way to provide the most recreational activities for the surrounding community is to utilize the existing sports complex. Norm Ross Sports Complex connects to the larger adjacent Stanton Park by a pedestrian bridge and walking trails. Although Stanton Park is an additional resource for the community, it does not include sports recreation activities that can be utilized by the community. However, nearby abandoned structures and the poor condition of the complex has led to a lack of use by little leagues, softball leagues, soccer leagues, and Stanton residents.

FEATURE(S).
n/a
Describe the Process
that enabled residents
to identify, prioritize
and select their
preferred Recreation
Features:

As part of the public meetings, the public was asked which features they would like to implement at the renovated facility. To help facilitate discussion regarding different ideas, a list of options was provided to the public. Residents were advised the list was not inclusive and everyone was encouraged to add features not listed. Once a comprehensive list was developed, participants were asked to rank their top choices. Meeting was set up as a roundtable discussion and breakout groups were arranged to allow youth to brainstorm in a comfortable setting. Residents were provided maps and markers to draw and mark features they wanted in the locations they desired.

Design of the selected

RECREATION

FEATURE(S)
n/a
Describe the process
of how the residents
were enabled to
provide design ideas
for their selected
recreation feature(s).

Participants were able to provide notes and information about the specific type of features/aspects of features that they envision. Residents also discussed their ideas with the City’s Parks and Recreation Commission and park designer.

List the residents’
ideas that will be
included in the design
of the recreation
feature(s).

Design ideas included: retaining current uses for soccer and baseball/softball; improved walking trails, both hard and soft paths to accommodate walkers/joggers as well as strollers, wheelchairs and bikes; football; frisbee; tennis courts; racquetball courts; pickleball courts; skate and roller park; water play and splash pads; dog park; science event center; exhibit area with nature classes; butterfly park; senior activities; exercise equipment; activities for those with physical limitations. Residents specifically requested the installation of a community garden, dog park and multi-sport court, which was added in the final design of the project site.

Goal 2 - Location of

general agreement on
the location of

RECREATION
FEATURE(S) within
the PARK.
n/a
Describe the process
that enabled the
residents to express
their preferences for
the location of the
recreation feature(s)
within the park.

At the meetings, City staff gave a short presentation that included a list of ideas and possible locations. Residents were provided poster boards with markers and site maps allowing them to specify where they wanted each recreation feature located. Residents were encouraged to use suggested features only as a guide and asked them to be creative in deciding best locations for recreational features. Residents were asked to present their ideas and explain why they wanted features in specific locations. The setting for each meeting was informal and structured to encourage open discussion among participants.

List the reasons that
will be used for the
location of the
recreation feature(s)
within the park.

Moving softball field slightly to ensure a safe distance between the field and homes nearby. Location of dog park installed away from the main portion of the park to ensure safety of park users.

Goal 3 - Safety and
PARK beautification.

safe public use, and
PARK beautification
such as landscaping
and public art.
n/a
Describe the process
that enabled the
residents to provide
park design ideas for
safe public use and
park beautification.

Staff asked residents to share their top safety concerns at the project site.

Once safety concerns were identified, there was an open discussion on how best to address each safety concern and what safety measures could be put in place to provide safe access and use of the park. City staff provided a list of possible beautification ideas and asked residents to add to the list of ideas.

Once comprehensive lists were put together, residents were asked to share their favorite specific style of feature they wanted (i.e. style of lighting, benches, water fountains, artwork, etc.). Residents were able to share what kind of artwork they wanted by type, design and possible artist to complete the feature.

List of safe public use
ideas:

Security cameras, increased lighting throughout the park site, increased lighting in parking lot, increased police presence, security guards. Residents requested additional shade sails be installed throughout the park for use during hotter weather. Residents asked that the softball field boundary is far enough away from homes to ensure safety from fly balls, etc. Residents asked that the skate park be secured with gate/fencing to control use. Residents also want the dog park far enough away from the main park areas to ensure safety for children, etc.

List of park
beautification ideas:

Residents want to preserve the existing mature trees if they are healthy enough. City will have arborist review tree health. Residents would also like additional native trees, shrubs and groundcover planted throughout the park.

n/a
Will the public be
charged entrance or
membership fees to
enter the overall park?
The public will not be charged an entrance or membership fee to enter the Sports Complex and associated park area. Some specific recreation features of the Sports Complex will be available for reservation on a fee basis, such as the softball field or soccer fields, but in general the facility itself will be accessible to the public free of charge. There will be no fixed daily, weekly, or monthly fee to use any of the proposed recreation features. Parks are open to the general public on a first-come, first-serve basis and free of charge.

Will entrance, membership, or
league/activity fees be
charged to use a

RECREATION
FEATURE that is a
majority of the TOTAL
PROJECT COST listed
in the Grant
Scope/Cost Estimate
Form?
If a group wants to reserve a facility for an event, they have to complete a reservation form, pay the designated user fee and provide insurance. Nonprofits can reserve facilities for no charge, but must leave a cleaning deposit, and provide insurance. Outside leagues, such as Little League, do not pay for use of the facilities, but they pay for staffing and lights per hour of use.

If so, list each fee,
identify if the fee is
daily, weekly, or
monthly, and explain
why the fee will not
prevent DAILY
ACCESS for youth,
seniors, and families
affected by poverty.

A. What
CHALLENGES are
present within the
community that
contributes to the need
for the PROJECT?
n/a

1. Challenge Lack of accessible open space and green space Description of
Challenge
The City of Stanton does not have adequate park and open space facilities to satisfy the needs of the community. The City only has one main park with major recreation amenities (Stanton Central Park).The other parks in the City, such as Zuniga Park, Veteran’s Memorial Park, and Harry M. Dotson Park are what are considered “pocket parks” and do not provide any reasonable recreational feature or open space that can be used by the community for recreational opportunities such as team sports or games.

2. Challenge Limited Land Availability – Built Out
Description of
Challenge
The City is almost completely built out with few vacant parcels that would be appropriate for outdoor recreational opportunities. Located in the populous County of Orange, the City is surrounded on all sides by other municipalities and various residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. Developing and sustaining viable outdoor recreational and open space opportunities is vital to the health and prosperity of the residents of the City of Stanton.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

3. Challenge Adult and Childhood Obesity and Related Diseases Description of the
Challenge
The limited amount of park space available to residents makes promoting active living a challenge in the City. According to the Public Health Advocate, the cities with the highest levels of overweight youth in Orange County are Anaheim at 43.5%, Santa Ana at 46.5% and Stanton is the highest at 51.8%.

Stanton is also listed as the city with the highest poverty rate countywide.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

4. Challenge Resident Financial Status
Description of the
Challenge
The City’s residents are diverse in economic status. Many do not have the financial resources to pay for memberships to gyms, sports organizations and leagues. According to the Conditions of Children Report for Orange County,

30.4% of children under the age of 18 live in poverty in the City of Stanton.

Poverty is known to contribute to low educational attainment. The City has one of the lowest percentages of children ready for Kindergarten in the County at

42.4%. This Project will allow low to no-cost recreational opportunities for all residents, regardless of economic situation.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

5. Challenge Negative Environmental Impacts
Description of
Challenge
Norm Ross Sports Complex is in census tract 6059087901 and surrounded by vehicle congestion. The major arterial streets of Katella Ave. and Beach Ave. are within one block of the Complex site. Directly to the west is census tract 6058099101, which has a pollution burden percentile of 90, toxic release of 99, groundwater threats at 89 and hazardous waste listed at 93. Residents exposed to these environmental conditions are more likely to develop serious and chronic health problems directly related to the exposure to pollutants in the air, water and soil.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

6. Challenge Low Birth Weight
Description of
Challenge
Tract 6058099101 suffers from low birth weight problems, which is ranked above the 96thpercentile in California. Low birth weight risk factors include lowincome, low-education, substance use during pregnancy and exposure to air pollution or contaminated water.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

7. Challenge Housing Burden
Description of
Challenge
The CalEnvironScreen 3.0 indicates residents living in the census tract 6059087902, one block south of the project site, has a housing burden in the 92ndpercentile. This indicator is the percentage of households in a tract that are both low income and severely burdened by housing costs by paying more than 50% of their income for housing costs.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

8. Challenge Unemployment
Description of
Challenge
Unemployment is a problem for the area, which is plagued with poverty and linguistic isolation. High unemployment indicates a large number of people without health insurance or medical care. Poor health can make it difficult for one to find work and retain employment. Long term employment is known to cause stress, which may lead to chronic illnesses.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

9. Challenge Homelessness, Loitering and Illegal Dumping Description of
Challenge
The Project site backs up against a motel adjacent to the currently empty park at the southeastern side of the site. The existing site is not in regular use as a park and does not have proper lighting, which increases loitering, illegal dumping and unwanted activity from transient and/or the homeless population.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

10. Challenge Inaccessibility to Park
Description of
Challenge
The neighborhood on the south side of the site does not have direct access to the complex. Currently, residents and children living in the area must drive or walk east to Beach Blvd, which is a heavily trafficked 8-lane street, walk down Beach Blvd. approximately ¼ mile to the entrance of the park. This is an approximate 10-minute walk in an area that has high levels of criminal activity and a dangerous environment to walk in due to excessive traffic with a speed limit of 45 mph. The Project will open up a maintenance road that is currently not for public use on the south side of the site. An entrance will be installed with a walk path giving residents direct accessibility to the park without having to use Beach Blvd.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
Yes

11. Challenge Increased Criminal and Gang Activity
Description of
Challenge
The Project site is located in an area within the City referred to as “Crow Village.” This area is known for criminal and gang activity. The amount of criminal and gang activity has increased dramatically in this area, in part due to the dilapidated state of the park site and its lack of use by residents. There is a large gang that operates in the Project site neighborhood referred to as “Crow Village” Criminal Street Gang. Stanton Police have been tracking the activity by this gang specifically due to the severity of crimes. Since PD began tracking the criminal activity by this gang separately, almost 200 serious criminal acts have been committed since 2016. By renovating this site and increasing security measures, the City and Police Department is confident criminal activity will decrease in this area, resulting in an overall safer community while giving residents a safe and beautiful location to engage in recreational activity.

Are there additional
CHALLENGES present
within the community
that contributes to the
need for the
PROJECT?
No
B. How will the
PROJECT benefit the
HEALTH and quality of
life for youth, seniors,
and families by
improving the
community’s
recreational, social,
cultural, environmental,
educational, and
economic conditions?
Recreational
Social
Cultural
Environmental
Educational
Economic
Recreational The rehabilitation of the Sports Complex will result in a variety of enhanced recreational opportunities for the City’s diverse population, including youth, seniors, and families. The new and refurbished and improved sports fields and courts will provide new healthy recreation encouragement for residents of all ages in an accessible way, as an alternative to the current state of the Norm Ross Sports Complex, which is largely inoperable due to a variety of reasons such as field conditions and safety precautions. The proposed Sports Complex improvements will offer safe, affordable, and fun opportunities for communitybuilding for both the youth population, and other members of the community.

The proposed senior center will offer a space for the City’s senior residents to meet and socialize, assisting in breaking the barrier of isolation that seniors can often feel. The new walking/jogging trail will provide a safe place to exercise for parents using strollers as well as providing seniors a flat surfaced place to walk and socialize with their peers. Families will also be able to access a wide range of new family-friendly programming and recreational activities.

Social The revitalization of the Norm Ross Sports Complex will provide a hub for social and recreational activities for all members of the community. The improved Sports Complex will act as a catalyst for continued social growth and positive social experiences for youth, seniors, and families with a wide range of backgrounds. Picnic tables and grills will be included in the park to encourage social gatherings.

Cultural Per the US Census Bureau, the City of Stanton is over 50 percent Latino and 27 percent Asian. Given the diversity of the City’s community, Norm Ross Sports Complex will serve as a space that can bring together residents of varied cultural backgrounds to learn, play, and grow together. One of the most important ways to learn and embrace the culture of other members of the community is through interactive activities such as sports and recreation. This project will bring people together from a wide range of backgrounds for the communal goal of recreation and open space utilization. The open space, picnic tables, grills and shade structures invite people to practice their culture as groups or families in the park. The City will not charge for use of the facilities, unless reserved, allowing small to moderately sized cultural events to be held at the park.

Environmental The new landscaping, including trees, will sequester carbon and reduce GHG while filtering the air of some particulates. The roots of the vegetation will also capture and filter storm water using it to recharge the ground water. This will improve both air and water quality. The park surfaces will primarily be permeable to further reduce storm runoff and improve water quality.

Educational The newly installed sports fields and courts will provide a place for competitive youth sports. The increased enrollment of youth in group athletics will give more students a support group of their peers and additional adult role models. With a larger support system, students have a higher advantage of staying in high school. They may be more inclined to pursue additional education through two-year community college programs, vocational training or four-year college degree programs while they work. Students that are socially isolated are less likely to understand the connection between higher education and breaking the poverty cycle or have hope that they could complete post-secondary education. The open space will provide a place for numerous organizations to host educational events as well as classes on health, nutrition and physical exercise.

Economic The Norm Ross Sports Complex will assist financially challenged members of the community by providing them viable and free recreational opportunities.

Too often, recreation amenities are an unreachable expense for struggling or working-class people. This project will ensure that City of Stanton and surrounding residents have access to free open space and recreational opportunities.

Per page 68 of the
Application Guide,
provide a response as
to how this project will
prevent
"displacement." If
RESIDENTS are not
vulnerable to
"displacement,” explain
why.

The City has several policies and ordinances in place to prevent displacement.

1. Rent Control for Seniors: City creates long-term affordability covenants for housing projects receiving City-sponsored development assistance; Monitor deed-restricted units and maintain contact with owners to extend/renew deed restrictions to maintain affordability; Seek funding at the federal, state and local level to preserve at-risk housing units; City maintains a large senior housing development that maintains affordable rent; City monitors 8 mobile home parks in the City to ensure affordability is maintained.

2. Incentives are provided for high density housing construction

3. Density bonuses for projects with levels of affordability and greater bonus for senior and veteran housing

4. ADU policies: ADU and JADU are allowed by right in all zones that allow residential. City has a streamlined process and do not have regulatory impediments to ADU. The City is working to develop standard plans to relieve the cost of hiring professionals to development structural and engineered drawings related to ADUs.

It would be very difficult for CCC because we are not contractors and the cost varies depending on funding sources and the fact that some projects are more technical for our members. I would suggest using the rate sheet and identifying what specific task you would like the CCC to assist with. In most cases we finish much faster than what the cost sheet will afford. In this case we disencumber remining funds and you can redirect that saving to another part of your projects. In the list of portions of the project that we would like to assist with we would not be able to say how long it would take especially since we do not have all the scope specifics regarding amounts, sizes, weight, degree of difficulties, distances, yardage, etc.. . In most cases the consultant and/or City would consult the contractor or a City employee to establish a time line for unskilled labor and adjust the hourly rate accordingly. Please see the task that CCC would be willing to assist with below.

1. Introduction
The City of Stanton (City) is proposing to redevelop the underutilized Norm Ross Sports Park at 11111 Cedar Street in the rear of Carver Early Education Center in the City of Stanton (APN 131-091-30). The proposed project would develop a little league baseball field, lighting poles, a U-12 soccer field, a multipurpose sports court, a playground, a courtyard amphitheater, shaded picnic areas, fitness equipment, a community garden, a storage building, a park building with restrooms, a new water basin, a new pedestrian bridge, a new perimeter wall on east and southside, new perimeter fencing on the west and northside, utility/emergency entrance, utility access area, and a small and large dog park; the proposed project would also upgrade an existing pedestrian bridge. In addition, the City would reorient the existing little league baseball field so that home plate is on the southwest corner of the field near the existing parking lot and add a U-12 soccer field over the same area. Field improvements also include new sports lighting, two shaded bleachers, two shaded dug outs, a field storage structure, a trash enclosure and two free standing drinking fountains. Norm Ross Sports Park is a joint-use park with the Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD). The City of Stanton is lead agency for the proposed redevelopment project and the project will be funded through a Proposition 68 Grant.

The proposed project is required to undergo an environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This initial study provides an evaluation of the potential environmental consequences associated with this proposed project.

1.1 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The completion of the environmental compliance process is governed by two principal regulations: CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.). CEQA was enacted in 1970 by the California Legislature to disclose to decision makers and the public the significant environmental effects of proposed activities and to identify ways to avoid or reduce the environmental effects through feasible alternatives or mitigation measures. Compliance with CEQA applies to California government agencies at all levels: local, regional, and state agencies, boards, commissions, and special districts (such as school districts and water districts).

The City of Stanton is lead agency for the proposed project and is therefore required to analyze the potential environmental effects associated with the project.

Public Resources Code Section 21080(a) states that analysis of a project’s environmental impact is required for any “discretionary projects proposed to be carried out or approved by public agencies….” In this case, the city has determined that an initial study is required to determine whether there is substantial evidence that implementation of the project would result in environmental impacts. An initial study is a preliminary environmental analysis to determine whether an environmental impact report (EIR), a mitigated negative declaration (MND), or a negative declaration (ND) is required for a project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15063).

An initial study must have a project description; a description of the environmental setting; an identification of

N O R M R O S S S P O R T S P A R K I M P R O V E M E N T P R O J E C T I N I T I A L S T U D Y / M I T I G A T E D N E G A T I V E D E C L A R A T I O N

C I T Y O F S T A N T O N

1. Introduction

environmental effects by checklist or other similar form; an explanation of environmental effects; a discussion of mitigation for significant environmental effects; an evaluation of the project’s consistency with existing, applicable land use controls; the names of persons who prepared the study; and identification of data sources (CEQA Guidelines Section 15063(d)).

When an initial study identifies substantial evidence of the potential for significant environmental impacts, the lead agency must prepare an EIR (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064); however, if all impacts can be mitigated to a less than significant level, the lead agency can prepare an MND that incorporates mitigation measures into the project (CEQA Guidelines Section 15070).

1.1.1 Environmental Process
A “project” means the whole of an action that has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and that is any of the following:
▪ An activity directly undertaken by any public agency, including but not limited to public works construction and related activities clearing or grading of land, improvements to existing public structures, enactment and amendment of zoning ordinances, and the adoption and amendment of local General Plans or elements thereof pursuant to Government Code Sections 65100 to 65700. ▪ An activity undertaken by a person which is supported in whole or in part through public agency contacts, grants, subsidies, loans, or other forms of assistance from one or more public agencies. ▪ An activity involving the issuance to a person of a lease, permit, license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies (CCR § 15378[a]).

The proposed actions by the City constitute a “project” because the activity would result in a direct physical change in the environment and would be undertaken by a public agency. All “projects” in the State of California are required to undergo an environmental review to determine the environmental impacts associated with implementation of the project.

1.1.2 Initial Study
This initial study was prepared in accordance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, as amended, to determine if the project could have a significant impact on the environment. The purposes of this initial study, as described in the State CEQA Guidelines Section 15063, are to 1) provide the lead agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or ND; 2) enable the lead agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby enabling the project to qualify for an ND; 3) assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is required; 4) facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project; 5) provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in an ND that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment; 6) eliminate unnecessary EIRs; and 7) determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project. The findings in this initial study have determined that an MND is the appropriate level of environmental documentation for this project.

1.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.4.1 Proposed Land Use
The City of Stanton (City) is proposing to redevelop the underutilized Norm Ross Sports Park at 11111 Cedar Street in the rear of Carver Early Education Center in the City of Stanton (APN 131-091-30). The proposed project would be financed through a Proposition 68 Grant.

The proposed project would demolish existing uses and redevelop the project site with new sports and park facilities. The proposed project would develop a little league baseball field, lighting poles, a U-12 soccer field, a multipurpose sports court, a playground, a courtyard amphitheater, shaded picnic areas, fitness equipment, a community garden, a storage building, a park building with restrooms, a new water basin, a new pedestrian bridge, a new perimeter wall on east and southside, new perimeter fencing on the west and northside, utility/emergency entrance, utility access area, and a small and large dog park; the proposed project would also upgrade an existing pedestrian bridge.

The new little league baseball field would place the home plate on the southwest corner of the project site and have the outfield towards the northeast of the project site. Field improvements also include new sport field lighting (two light poles to the south, west, and east of the baseball/soccer field) and visitor and home team dugouts, two free standing drinking fountains, and shade structures over the two sets of bleachers near the home plate on the southwest side of the baseball field. Additionally, the outfield area of the new little league baseball field would also be utilized as a U-12 soccer field. The multipurpose sports court (approximately 4,281 square feet) and shaded picnic tables would be located to the north of the baseball field.

The park building would be located at the northwest end of the project site, near the proposed pedestrian bridge, and would be approximately 2,533 square feet. The proposed building would include a community room, an office, a break/storage room, an electrical room, a data room, two outdoor and one indoor restroom, a custodian room, an equipment storage room, and an event storage room. The park building would be connected to the 1,055-square feet storage room by an overhanging shade roof. The playground (approximately 3,372 square feet), courtyard with outdoor seating and picnic tables would be located to the south of the park building, west of the baseball field. See Figure 5, Community Building and Garden Storage Building Floor Plan, and Figure 6, Building Elevations.

The community garden would be reoriented from its triangular area in the northwest corner, to a rectangular orientation along Carver Early Education Center, along the west side of the project site. Improvements to the community garden would include new planter boxes, an additional garden storage shed, decomposed granite, pedestrian scale lights, and a pedestrian walkway connected to the Carver Early Childhood Education Center.

A dog park (approximately 7,589 square feet) with separate areas for large and small dogs would be located on the northeast corner of the project site. The dog park would be fenced and include benches, trashcans, turf and decomposed granite.

The project site would include a new pedestrian bridge (approximately 411 square feet) near the northwest corner of the project site and walking paths and small vehicle paths throughout. The proposed project would

C I T Y O F S T A N T O N

1. Introduction

include a total of approximately 111,519 square feet of landscaping and approximately 70,301 square feet of hardscaping. The footings for the pedestrian bridge would not alter the existing channel.

1.4.1.1 LIGHTING
The proposed project would include lighting throughout the project site to support the uses onsite and for safety and security. The proposed project would include 50-foot tall light poles with light fixtures in the dog park; 50-foot tall light poles with light fixtures to illuminate the multipurpose court; and 60- to 70-foot tall light poles with stadium light fixtures to illuminate the baseball and soccer field. The proposed project would include up to pedestrian scale lights in the community garden, courtyard, playground, dog park, around the basketball court, and along walkways.

1.4.1.2 USE AND SCHEDULE
The park’s operating hours and use schedule would comply with the adopted joint use agreement with the GGUSD. It is anticipated that the park would be open to the general public daily from dusk to dawn with seasonal adjustment. The multi-use field would operate on a first come, first serve basis, and other park amenities would also be used freely by the park visitors. The baseball field would be reserved for use by different little league teams throughout the week on a set schedule, revised twice a year. The future use schedule is anticipated to include practices, two games per day on weekdays, and 5 games per day on Saturdays. The two games during the weekdays are expected to occur from 4 pm to 6 pm and from 6 pm-8 pm. During the summer hours of play are anticipated to be extended, with an additional two teams playing or practicing. A baseball team consists of approximately 15 players.

Use of the community garden is not anticipated to change and would continue to be accessible 7 days a week to residents.

1.4.1.3 PEDESTRIAN AND VEHICLE ACCESS
Pedestrian access to the project site would continue to be provided by the two existing pedestrian bridges – the northeast pedestrian bridge directly connects to the project site and the pedestrian bridge to the northwest is offsite and provides direct access to Carver Early Education Center. As part of the proposed project, a new pedestrian bridge would be constructed on the northwest corner of the project site. This new pedestrian bridge would provide a second pedestrian access point from Stanton Park directly to the project site.

Vehicle access and parking will continue to be provided on Stanton Park. The emergency/authorized vehicle access on the southeast corner of the project site from Ruthann Avenue would be improved with paving and would remain.

1.4.1.4 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Aside from a concrete path along the southern side of the project site and concrete areas associated with the existing baseball diamond, the project site contains pervious surfaces. The existing project site is approximately 99 percent pervious surfaces. The proposed project would construct new building, walkways, and hardscaped areas. With the proposed project, the project site would be approximately 32 percent impervious surfaces and

68 percent pervious surfaces. The proposed project includes the installation of an infiltration basin or a bioretention basin without underdrain on the southwest side of the project site in the lawn area between the community garden and playground. The infiltration basin or a bioretention basin without underdrain would be approximately 156 feet long, between three to 30 feet wide (average width 18 feet), and five to nine feet deep.

A storm drain line would extend north from the infiltration basin or a bioretention basin without underdrain to the north side of the project site, where it would turn west at the channel and run parallel to the channel.

In pervious areas, stormwater on the project site would either percolate into the into pervious ground surfaces or leave the site as runoff. In impervious areas, stormwater would either be directed to storm drain inlets, directed to pervious surfaces, or leave the project site as runoff. The majority of the stormwater generated by the proposed project would percolate into the ground or be directed to the infiltration basin or a bioretention basin without underdrain. A portion of stormwater is expected to flow or discharge into the offsite channel.

1.4.2 Construction
Construction activities would include demolition and site preparation, grading, utility trenching, building construction, paving, architectural coating and finishing/landscaping. All 16 trees would be removed.

Construction of the proposed project would occur over one phase. The proposed project would include a total of 14,437 cubic yards of soil export from the project site. The construction is anticipated to start Fall 2025 and end in Spring 2027.

1.5 CITY ACTION REQUESTED
Implementation of the proposed project would require the following discretionary and ministerial project approvals from the City of Stanton:
▪ Adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration
▪ Approve the bid Specification and Plans
▪ Award a Construction Contract
The following agencies are responsible or trustee agencies under CEQA and would review and/or approve certain components of the proposed project:
▪ Orange County Fire Authority: Fire Master Plan Review ▪ California Department of Transportation (CalTrans): Plan review if waterline is required to encroach onto Beach Boulevard
▪ Division of State Architects: Plan review
▪ Orange County Public Works: New Bridge/Plan Review
▪ Golden State Water Company: Waterline Design Review

2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a “Potentially Significant Impact,” as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.

Aesthetics Agriculture / Forestry Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Energy
Geology/Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use / Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population / Housing Public Services
Recreation Transportation Tribal Cultural Resources
Utilities / Service Systems Wildfire Mandatory Findings of Significance

2.3 DETERMINATION (TO BE COMPLETED BY THE LEAD AGENCY)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:

I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

2.4 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A “No Impact” answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors, as well as general standards (e.g., the project would not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis).

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

3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. “Potentially Significant Impact” is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more “Potentially Significant Impact” entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.

4. “Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated” applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from “Potentially Significant Impact” to a “Less Than Significant Impact.” The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,” describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.

6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project’s environmental effects in whatever format is selected.

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

a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
X
c) In nonurbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
X
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? X
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. A scenic vista is a viewpoint that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape for the benefit of the public. The City of Stanton General Plan does not identify any scenic vistas (Stanton 2008). The project site is surrounded by urban development, including commercial and residential uses, Carver Early Education Center, and Stanton Park. The proposed project would redevelop the existing Norm Ross Sports Park, which is currently closed due to poor site conditions, with modern park and sports facilities. The proposed project would be designed to be visually appealing with modern facilities, one-story community building, onestory garden storage building, landscaping, and hardscaping that would be typical of park/sport uses and visually similar to the adjacent Stanton Park and surrounding one to two-story buildings. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not obstruct or alter views, and no impacts to scenic vistas would occur.

3. Environmental Analysis

b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?
No Impact. A scenic highway is a stretch of public roadway that is designated as a scenic corridor by a federal, state, or local agency. Caltrans defines a scenic highway as any freeway, highway, road, or other public right-ofway that traverses an area of exceptional scenic quality.

The project site is in a highly urbanized area of the City and is not on or near a state-designated scenic highway, as designated on the California Scenic Highway Mapping System of the California Department of Transportation. The nearest officially designated state scenic highway is State Route (SR) 91 from SR 55 to east city limit of Anaheim, which is approximately 10 miles northeast of the project site (Caltrans 2024). The nearest eligible state scenic highway is State Route 1, approximately 7 miles southwest of the project site. Due to the distance and intervening development and vegetation, the project site is not visible from the officially designated scenic highway.

Furthermore, the proposed project would redevelop the existing sports complex, which is currently closed due to its poor condition, with modern and improved facilities. There are no scenic resources on or near the project site. No scenic resources would be damaged, and no impact would occur. c) In nonurbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is already developed as a sports park and is in an urbanized area surrounded by Stanton Park to the north, Carver Early Education Center to the west, residential uses to the south, and a motel and commercial/retail uses to the east. The City of Stanton General Plan designates the project site as Public/Institutional and the zoning designation is “PI” Public Institutional. The proposed project would not change the current zoning designation and a sports park is a permitted use under the PI zoning (Stanton 2008). There are no specific building standards that govern scenic quality in PI zone. As stated in the General Plan, the visual identity of Stanton includes the City’s physical form, activity nodes, landmarks, street corridors, buildings, signs and other similar physical features (Stanton 2008). The proposed project supports Goal CD-1.1, “[p]romote quality development and design that preserves and enhances a positive and unique image of Stanton, and fosters a sense of community pride”, by providing modern and upgraded park and sport complex facilities at a park site that is currently closed due to poor site conditions.

Goal CD-1.2 of the General Plan states, “Promote an attractive streetscape and public right-of-way, especially along major primary and secondary corridors, that is consistent with the desired vision and image of Stanton.” Goal CD-1.3 states, “Promote compatibility between land uses, including existing, redeveloped, and new uses, to further cohesiveness along the city’s primary and secondary corridors.” Katella Avenue to the north of the project site and Beach Boulevard to the east of the project site are identified as major arterial and principal arterial roadways by the General Plan. The proposed project is approximately 230 feet away from Beach Boulevard and approximately 750 feet from Katella Avenue. Due to surrounding intervening development, the project site would not be readily seen from these locations, and the proposed project does not include

improvements to Katella Avenue nor Beach Boulevard. Nevertheless, the proposed project would redevelop an existing park/sports complex with modern, upgraded park and sports facilities. The proposed project is consistent with the existing land use designation on the project site. The modern and upgraded park and sports facilities would be visually appealing and consistent with the surrounding development and would support the desired vision and image of Stanton. The proposed project would not hinder Goal CD-1.2 nor Goal CD-1.3.

The proposed project would be required to comply with the development standards pursuant to the City of Stanton Building Codes and Construction Regulations, including the California Building Code (Title 24, Part 2), the California Energy Code (Title 24, Part 6), the California Fire Code (Title 24, Part 9), and the California Green Building Standards Code (Title 24, Part 11).

The site and lighting plans are also required to be reviewed and approved by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) since it’s a joint use park with Garden Grove USD. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with any applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality, and impacts would be less than significant.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less Than Significant Impact.

Terminology
The foot-candle (fc) is a unit based on English measurements. Although foot-candles are considered obsolete in some scientific circles, they are nevertheless used because many existing light meters are calibrated in footcandles. Moonlight produces approximately 0.01 fc, and sunlight can produce up to 10,000 fc. The general benchmarks for light levels are shown in Table 1, General Light Levels Benchmark.

▪ Vertical foot-candle. The amount of light received on a vertical surface such as a billboard or building façade.
▪ Glare means lighting entering the eye directly from a light fixture or indirectly from reflective surfaces that causes visual discomfort or reduced visibility. Glare can be generated by building-exterior materials, surfacepaving materials, vehicles traveling or parked on roads and driveways, and sports lights. Any highly reflective façade material is a concern because buildings can reflect bright sunrays. The concepts of spill light, direct glare, and light trespass are illustrated in Exhibit B, Spill Light, Direct Glare, and Light Trespass, adapted from the Institution of Lighting Engineers (ILE 2003).

Exhibit A: Spill Light, Direct Glare, and Light Trespass ▪ Direct glare is caused by looking at an unshielded lamp or a light at maximum candlepower. Direct glare is dependent on the brightness of the light source, the contrast in brightness between the light source and the surrounding environment, the size of the light source, and its position. ▪ Illuminance is the amount of light on a surface or plane, typically expressed in a horizontal plane (e.g., on the ground) or in a vertical plane (e.g., on the side of a building). ▪ Lumen means the unit of measure used to quantify the amount of visible light produced by a light source or emitted from a luminaire (as distinct from “watt,” a measure of power consumption). ▪ Luminaire means outdoor electrically powered illuminating devices that include a light source, outdoor reflective or refractive surfaces, lenses, electrical connectors and components, and all parts used to mount the assembly, distribute the light, and/or protect the light source, whether permanently installed or portable.

An important component of luminaires is their shielding:
⚫ Fully shielded. A luminaire emitting no light above the horizontal plane. ⚫ Shielded. A luminaire emitting less than 2 percent of its light above the horizontal plane. ⚫ Partly shielded. A luminaire emitting less than 10 percent of its light above the horizontal plane. • Unshielded. A luminaire that may emit light in any direction.

Light trespass. Spill light that, because of quantitative, directional, or type of light, causes annoyance, discomfort, or loss in visual performance and visibility. Light trespass is light cast where it is not wanted or needed, such as light from a streetlight or a floodlight that illuminates someone’s bedroom at night, making it difficult to sleep. As a general rule, taller poles allow fixtures to be aimed more directly on the playing surface, which reduces the amount of light spilling into surrounding areas. Proper fixture angles ensure even light

distribution across the playing area and reduce spill light, as shown in Exhibit B, Spill Light, Direct Glare, and Light Trespass.
▪ Sky Glow is light that reflects into the night sky and reduces visibility of the sky and stars. It is a concern in many jurisdictions, especially those with observatories. ▪ Spill light is caused by misdirected light that illuminates areas outside the area intended to be lit. Spill light can contribute to light pollution.

Municipal Code
Stanton Municipal Code Section 20.300.080(B)(2) states lighting levels shall not exceed 0.5 fc on any common property line zoned, used as, or planned for residential uses (Stanton 2024). The proposed project site is bound by residential uses to the south. Therefore, for the purposes of this analysis 0.5 fc was used for a significance determination.

Lighting and Glare
The proposed project includes four 50-foot tall and six 60- to 70-foot-tall light poles around the dog park, multipurpose court, and baseball and soccer field as well as pedestrian scale lights throughout the project site to support the park’s uses and for safety and security. Though the project site is already developed as a sports park with seven sport lighting poles, the park is not in use and thus the lights are not currently in use. Therefore, all the proposed lighting features would add additional light and glare to the project site compared to existing conditions. The nearest light and glare sensitive receptors are the single-family residences adjacent to the project site to the south.

The buildout of the proposed project would result in more reflective surfaces compared to existing conditions on the project site, such as a new community building, bleachers, and light-colored surfaces. The location of the proposed building would be located away from sensitive receptors. Proposed landscaping, surrounding vegetation and buildings, and shade structures would further block reflective surfaces from generating substantial glare. Further, the proposed project would construct a new 8-foot (ft) concrete masonry unit (CMU) block wall along southern and eastern boundaries of the project site. The new 8-ft CMU block wall would further block light and glare to the residential uses to the south and commercial uses and roadway to the east.

Therefore, the proposed project would not create a new source of substantial glare.

The proposed project’s lights would be shielded and downward facing, which focuses light on the desired area.

As shown in Figure 7, Field Lighting Property Line Light Spill, the proposed field lights would generate between

0.0 to 0.50 horizontal fc along the southern property line. The proposed projects light would meet the City of Stanton’s 0.5 fc threshold pursuant to Stanton Municipal Code Section 20.300.080(B)(2), thus impacts would be considered less than significant. Additionally, the proposed 8-ft block wall would further block light from spilling onto the residential properties. Therefore, the proposed project would not create a substantial new source of lighting.

Further, the proposed project would be required to comply with Chapter 20.300.080, Outdoor Light and Glare, of the Stanton Municipal Code. Section E, Outdoor Recreation/Entertainment Areas, states that for facilities used for outdoor recreation within 200 feet of a residential zone, lighting is subject to the approval of a Minor Site Plan and Design Review. The southern end of the project site is within 200 feet of a residential zone; thus, the proposed project would need to be reviewed by the City prior to development.

The proposed project is in an urban environment surrounded by urban development, and the proposed project would include typical park and sports facilities that are common in an urban environment. The proposed project would not create a new source of substantial glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views. The proposed project would not significantly impact nighttime nor daytime views. in the area, and a less than significant impact would occur.

rehabilitate an underutilized sports park in an urban area. The project site is zoned “PI” Public Institutional and is listed as Urban and Built-Up Land, not an important farmland by the Division of Land Resource Protection (Stanton 2008; DOC 2022). Therefore, no impact would occur. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The zoning designation for the project site is “PI” Public Institutional. The proposed project would not conflict with agricultural zoning or a Williamson Act contract because it is not zoned for agricultural use Stanton 2008; (DOC 2022). Williamson Act contracts restrict the use of privately owned land to agriculture and compatible open-space use under contract with local governments; in exchange, the land is taxed based on actual use rather than potential market value. Since the project site is zoned “PI” Public Institutional, there is no Williamson Act contract in effect on-site. The existing community garden on-site is not considered an agricultural use. Therefore, no impact would occur.
c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code Section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code Section 51104(g))? No Impact. Forest land is defined as “land that can support 10-percent native tree cover of any species, including hardwoods, under natural conditions, and that allows for management of one or more forest resources, including timber, aesthetics, fish and wildlife, biodiversity, water quality, recreation, and other public benefits” (California PRC § 12223 [g]). Timberland is defined as “land…which is available for, and capable of, growing a crop of trees of any commercial species used to produce lumber and other forest products, including Christmas trees” (California PRC § 4526). The project site is zoned “PI” Public Institutional and is currently developed as a sports park that is not in use (Stanton 2008). No forest land nor timberland exists onsite. Project implementation would not conflict with existing zoning for forest land, timberland, or timberland production.

No impact would occur.
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. As stated in above Section 3.2(c), the project site is not a forest land. Vegetation on-site is limited to ornamental vegetation. Project implementation would not result in the loss or conversion of forestland.

Therefore, no impact would occur.
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
No Impact. The City of Stanton, including the project site, is listed as Urban and Built-Up Land and is not mapped as important farmland by the Division of Land Resource Protection (DOC 2022). Project development would not indirectly cause the conversion of such land to nonagricultural or nonforest use.

Therefore, no impact would occur.

3.3 AIR QUALITY
The Air Quality section addresses the impacts of the proposed project on ambient air quality and the exposure of people, especially sensitive individuals, to unhealthy pollutant concentrations. A background discussion on the air quality regulatory setting, meteorological conditions, existing ambient air quality in the vicinity of the project site, and air quality modeling can be found in Appendix A.

The primary air pollutants of concern for which ambient air quality standards (AAQS) have been established are ozone (O3), carbon monoxide (CO), coarse inhalable particulate matter (PM10), fine inhalable particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide, and lead (Pb). Areas are classified under the federal and California Clean Air Act as either in attainment or nonattainment for each criteria pollutant based on whether the AAQS have been achieved. The South Coast Air Basin (SoCAB), which is managed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD), is designated nonattainment for O3, and PM2.5 under the California and National AAQS, nonattainment for PM10 under the California AAQS, and nonattainment for lead (Los Angeles County only) under the National AAQS (CARB 2024).

Furthermore, the South Coast AQMD has identified regional thresholds of significance criteria for pollutant emissions and criteria air pollutant precursors, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), CO, nitrogen oxide (NOx), SO2, PM10, and PM2.5. Development projects below the regional significance thresholds are not expected to generate sufficient criteria pollutant emissions to violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Where available, the significance criteria established by the South Coast AQMD may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:

The South Coast AQMD adopted the 2022 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) on December 2, 2022. Regional growth projections are used by South Coast AQMD to forecast future emission levels in the SoCAB. For southern California, these regional growth projections are provided by the

Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and are partially based on land use designations included in city/county general plans. Typically, only large, regionally significant projects have the potential to affect regional growth projections. In addition, the consistency analysis is generally only required in connection with the adoption of General Plans, specific plans, and significant projects. Changes in population, housing, or employment growth projections have the potential to affect SCAG’s demographic projections and therefore the assumptions in South Coast AQMD’s AQMP. These demographic trends are incorporated into SCAG’s 2020–2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) to determine priority transportation projects and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the SCAG region.

Changes in population, housing, or employment growth projections have the potential to affect SCAG’s demographic projections and therefore the assumptions in South Coast AQMD’s AQMP. As further described in Section 1.4.1, Proposed Land Use, the proposed project would involve redeveloping the existing Norm Ross Sports Park, including construction of a new community building as well as a new community garden building, playgrounds, sports courts and fields, landscaping, and hardscaping. In addition, as described in Section 3.14, Population and Housing, the proposed project would not propose new homes and would not induce substantial unplanned population growth in the area directly or indirectly. Therefore, the proposed project would not be a regionally significant project that has the potential to result in changes in population, housing, or employment in the City of Stanton. Due to the nature of the proposed project, it would not result in new long-term employment. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would result in short-term employment only and would end upon completion.

Additionally, as demonstrated below in Section 3.3(b), the regional emissions that would be generated by the operational phase of the proposed project would be less than the South Coast AQMD emissions thresholds and would therefore not be considered by South Coast AQMD to be a substantial source of air pollutant emissions that would have the potential to affect the attainment designations in the SoCAB. Therefore, the proposed project would not affect the regional emissions inventory or conflict with strategies in the AQMP.

Impacts would be less than significant.
b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is nonattainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less Than Significant Impact. The following describes project-related impacts from regional short-term construction activities and regional long-term operation of the proposed project.

Regional Short-Term Construction Impacts
Construction activities would generate air pollutants. These emissions would primarily be 1) exhaust from offroad diesel-powered construction equipment; 2) dust generated by construction activities; 3) exhaust from onroad vehicles; and 4) off-gassing of VOCs from paints and asphalt.

Construction activities associated with the proposed project are anticipated to disturb approximately 4.2 acres on the project site. The proposed project would involve demolition, site preparation and soil haul, rough grading and soil haul, fine grading and soil haul, utilities trenching, building construction, paving, architectural coating, and finishing/landscaping. Construction would occur from October 2024 to September 2025. Construction

emissions were estimated using the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod), Version 2022.1, and are based on the preliminary construction duration provided by the City. The results of the construction emissions modeling are shown in Table 2, Maximum Daily Regional Construction Emissions and shows that the maximum daily emissions for NOX, CO, SO2, PM10, and PM2.5 from construction-related activities would be less than their respective South Coast AQMD regional significance threshold values.

1 Based on the preliminary information provided by the City. Where specific information regarding project-related construction activities was not available, construction assumptions were based on CalEEMod defaults, which are based on construction surveys conducted by South Coast AQMD of construction equipment. 2 Includes implementation of fugitive dust control measures required by South Coast AQMD under Rule 403, including watering disturbed areas a minimum of two times per day, reducing speed limit to 25 miles per hour on unpaved surfaces, replacing ground cover quickly, and street sweeping with Rule 1186–compliant sweepers.
3 For CalEEMod modeling, a 5,000-square-foot building was modeled which is larger than the proposed 3,588-square-foot buildings (2,533-square-foot park building and 1,055-square-foot Garden storage Building) and provides a conservative analysis.

Long-Term Operation-Related Air Quality Impact
Typical long-term air pollutant emissions are generated by area sources (e.g., landscape fuel use, aerosols, architectural coatings, and asphalt pavement), energy use (natural gas), and mobile sources (i.e., on-road vehicles). As identified in Section 3.17, Transportation, and in Appendix F, the proposed project would generate 279 non-summer weekday vehicle trips and 415 summer weekday vehicle trips1 and 438 weekend vehicle trips (Garland and Associates 2023). As shown in Table 3, Maximum Daily Regional Operation Emissions, it is anticipated 1 Modeling assumed an average of 313 weekday vehicle trips based on summer weekday trips occurring during 25 percent of the year and non-summer weekday trips occurring over 75 percent of the year.

Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project could expose sensitive receptors to elevated pollutant concentrations if it causes or significantly contributes to elevated pollutant concentration levels. Unlike regional emissions, localized emissions are typically evaluated in terms of air concentration rather than mass so they can be more readily correlated to potential health effects.

Construction LSTs
Localized significance thresholds (LSTs) are based on the California AAQS, which are the most stringent AAQS to provide a margin of safety in the protection of public health and welfare. They are designated to protect sensitive receptors most susceptible to further respiratory distress, such as asthmatics, the elderly, very young children, people already weakened by other disease or illness, and people engaged in strenuous work or exercise.

The screening-level construction LSTs are based on the size of the project site, distance to the nearest sensitive receptor, and Source Receptor Area (SRA). The nearest offsite sensitive receptors to the project site are the single-family residences along Ruthann Avenue and Ale Lane directly south of the project site.

Air pollutant emissions generated by construction activities would cause temporary increases in air pollutant concentrations. Table 4, Localized Construction Emissions, shows that the maximum daily construction emissions (pounds per day) generated during onsite construction activities compared with the South Coast AQMD Screening-level LSTs, for sensitive receptors within 82 feet (25 meters). As shown in Table 4, the construction-

Notes: In accordance with South Coast AQMD methodology, only onsite stationary sources and mobile equipment are included in the analysis. Screening level LSTs are based on receptors within 82 feet (25 meters) in SRA 17. 1 Where specific information for project-related construction activities or processes was not available modeling was based on CalEEMod defaults. These defaults are based on construction surveys conducted by the South Coast AQMD. 2 Includes fugitive dust control measures required by South Coast AQMD under Rule 403, such as watering disturbed areas a minimum of two times per day, reducing speed limit to 25 miles per hour on unpaved surfaces, replacing ground cover quickly, and street sweeping with Rule 1186–compliant sweepers. 3 For CalEEMod modeling, a 5,000-square-foot building was modeled which is larger than the proposed 3,588-square-foot buildings (2,533-square-foot park building and 1,055-square-foot garden storage building) and provides a conservative analysis.

However, as shown in Table 5, implementation of Mitigation Measure AQ-1, which requires the construction contractor(s) to water exposed ground surfaces and disturbed areas three times a day during earthmoving activities (i.e., site preparation, rough grading, and fine grading), would reduce construction-related emissions below the South Coast AQMD screening-level LST. Therefore, air quality impacts from project-related construction activities would be less than significant with incorporation of mitigation.
