2023/24 AB 1600 Report - Request for City Council to receive, review, and file the 2023/24 Impact Fee Report as required by State Law.

Deadline for Action: 12/3/2024
Submitting Department: Finance and Technology Services
Contact Name and Phone Number: Renee Nagel, 713-4375, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
Amee Swearingen, 713-4170, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Department Recommendation:

The 2023/24 Impact Fee Report has been prepared and submitted in compliance with California Government Code Section 66006(a) and (b), and no Council action is required other than to receive, review, and file the report.

Background Discussion:

Development impact fees are a funding mechanism used by California cities to pay for the new or expanded infrastructure needed to serve growth and development. Impact fees are imposed by a local government on new development to pay for the proportionate costs attributable to providing public infrastructure to serve each new development. Impact fees are a charge on new development which helps fund and pay for the construction or needed expansion of offsite capital infrastructure improvements which include roads, parks, storm drains, public safety and other public facilities.

In the 2023-24 Fiscal Year, the Impact Fee funds received $19.3 million in revenues which is an increase of 32% ($6.2 million) from the previous year (FY 22/23 revenues $13.1 million). The $19.3 million consists current year impact fee revenue, prior year revenue adjustments, and interest earnings as shown in the table below. FY 23/24 investment earnings had a large increase mainly due to Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) 31. GASB 31 requires the City to recognize all investments future gains and losses which inflates or deflates the actual amount received. Due to the investment market, FY 23/24 had unrealized investment gains which increases the revenues being reported for that fiscal year.

As shown in the Impact Fee report (Attachment 1), a total of $3.2 million was spent on impact fee related projects in the 23/24 Fiscal Year. The funds collectively hold $85.5 million in cash; however, these funds will need to collect an additional $201.5 million by FY 28/29 to fund the projects listed in the current 6-Year Capital Improvement Plan. Projects are planned based upon the resources projected to be available in each respective fund, and the Capital Improvement Plan is updated every two years with the biennial budget to make any necessary adjustments. Most Impact fees are used to fund large infrastructure projects that take several years to design and acquire land. For this reason, funding needed for construction must be programmed over multiple years as shown in the 6- Year Capital Plan (included in the Impact Fee Report attached), allowing cash to accumulate and fund these large projects.

In addition, there are Impact Fee funds that have been given an advance from the General Fund or have a debt payment obligation. All General Fund advances are charged interest which is calculated using the City of Visalia portfolio earnings rate plus 1%. The annual rate charged this last fiscal year on advances was 3.37%. The funds with advances or debt are listed in Table 1: Summary of Impact Fee Fund Advances and Debt, below.

These advances and debt were anticipated and are being managed as part of each fund’s capital program.

Past Impact Fee actions are summarized below for informational purposes. · June 7, 2010, during the Great Recession, Council approved the reduction of the Transportation Impact Fees (TIF), Park Impact Fee, and Waterways Impact Fee by 15%. The Park Acquisition Fee and the Waterways Acquisition Fee were reduced based on the analysis that showed land acquisition costs had dropped.
· In March 2013, an increase was made to the TIF of 6.5% to reflect 09/10 Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index (ENRCCI) adjustment not taken in FY 09/10. · June 6, 2015, Council approved the TIF fees to increase by 11%. · In addition to the adjustments summarized above, the fees are adjusted each year by the ENRCCI rate as part of the City’s annual Rates and Fees process.

With ongoing increases in land and construction costs, staff will continue to review the capital needs of the impact fee funds and perform analysis in order to make recommendations on the adjustment of these fees. When based on a comprehensive plan and used in conjunction with a sound capital improvement plan, impact fees can be an effective tool for ensuring adequate infrastructure to accommodate growth where and when it is anticipated. It is important that communities rely on Visalia City Council Page 2 of 6 Printed on 11/27/2024

File #: 24-0494 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 2.
zoning and other land use regulations, consistent with a comprehensive plan, to influence patterns of growth and to accurately predict new infrastructure needs. However, in areas facing development postponement due to the lack of adequate public facilities, impact fees may be viewed not as growth controlling measures, but rather as growth facilitators when they provide needed funding for required infrastructure. Typically, impact fees are:
· Levied on an "up-front" or "front-end" basis, usually at the time of building permit issuance or subdivision approval; and
· Dedicated to a specific public use, such as transportation facilities, sewer facilities, water facilities, or parks and recreation facilities, etc.; and · Calculated based upon the number of residents or bedrooms in a dwelling, the square footage of a building, the linear footage of the front property line, or as a flat fee per unit or building lot, or some other formulation; and
· Prescribed by ordinance.

The purpose of this report is to disclose the City’s collection and use of impact fees and to demonstrate that these monies were appropriately spent on impact related projects. The 2023/24 Impact Fee Report is in compliance with Government Code Section 66006 which requires agencies to provide information on each fund or account established for the collection of impact fees. Within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year this information must be made available to the public for the period covered by that fiscal year. The report must include the following:

1. A brief description of the type of fee in the fund.

2. The amount of the fee.

3. The beginning and ending balances of the fund.

4. The amount of fees collected, and the interest earned.

5. An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the improvement that was funded with fees.

6. An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the City determines that sufficient funds have collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement.

7. A description of each inter-fund transfer or loan made from the fund, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and in the case of an inter-fund loan, the date on which the loan will be repaid and the rate of interest that will be received on the loan.

8. The amount of refunds made per Government Code Section 66001 (e).

The availability of the 2023/24 Impact Fee Report was published in the Visalia Times Delta on November 13, 2024. Once the information is available to the public, but not less than 15 days from the date it is made available, the City Council must review the information at its next regularly scheduled meeting. A notice of the time and place of this meeting, including the address where the information may be reviewed, must be mailed at least 15 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the City for mailed notice of the meeting.

Table 2 is a summary of all the Impact Funds and shows the future revenue required in each fund to pay for both current projects and future projects included in the Capital Budget plan through 2028-29.

As new development occurs, additional impact fees will be collected to fund the projects reflected in the “Future Revenue Required” column of Table 2. Four funds are shown as not needing future revenue at this time due to projects not being listed in the current 6 year plan. These funds are the Civic Center fund, Sewer Connection fund, Vehicle Miles Traveled fund and the Northeast Capital Improvement fund. Below is more detail on the funds:
· Civic Center-Public Facility Fees (102) and the Public Safety funds will be used to help fund Phase 2 of the Civic Center project which will construct the Public Safety Office Building, Evidence Building, and Council Chambers. In addition to impact fees, Civic Center Phase 2 will receive funding from other sources. This project will require a significant investment and in anticipation of this, impact fees are being accumulated to be used to help finance this project.

Staff is anticipating awarding the construction contract in February 2025. · Sewer Connection Fund (232) does not have any future projects due to the sewer master plan being updated. The plan is currently under contract and being updated by the Engineering Department. Once the plan is updated, staff will return to Council to increase the fee and fund several new projects.
· Vehicle Miles Traveled Fund (286) is a new fund with a new fee that was collected in FY 22/23. There are no projects currently identified for the fund and will be reviewed with the upcoming budget process.
· Northeast Capital Fund (291) has no future projects identified in this current 6-year plan to allow funds to accumulate to be able to fund additional projects. The fund currently has approximately $47,500 in cash available.

The Police (105) and Library Impact (104) Funds do not show any future capital improvement needs however, they are each repaying internal loans or debt financing which are discussed in more detail below.
· The Library Impact Fees (104) have contributed to a joint project with Tulare County for the rehabilitation and expansion of the Visalia branch of the Tulare County Library. The project converted the old unused library building which had been replaced by new construction in 1976, for use as a children’s library wing, and provided upgrades to the main library building.

The rehabilitation project was completed in 2010 and the total amount of the loan from the General Fund to pay the impact fee portion of the project was $269,189. The loan was paid off in this fiscal year.
· The Police Impact Fund shares in the cost of the Visalia Emergency Communications Center by paying a portion of the debt payment. This debt was issued August 2015 for a total of $23.3 million (VECC and Convention Center renovation) to be paid back in 15 years (FY 29-30). This funds share is 26.25% or $6.1 million. This funds portion of the debt payment for FY 23/24 was $414,353 and the ending balance of the remaining obligation in this fund is $2,479,354.

TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES
Resolution No. 2017-77 Effective November 16, 2017

AFFORDABLE HOUSING INFILL INCENTIVE PROGRAM
A reduction in the amount of Transportation Impact Fees will be provided to all Residential and Mixed Use Projects with residential components that meet the following criteria:

Eligible properties: Any property located within the Visalia City limits, regardless of the date of incorporation are eligible for the Program. Properties that are located inside unincorporated county islands also qualify, but large unincorporated areas within the Tier 1 Urban Development Boundary, such as those in the Highway 198 Corridor and south and north of the current City limits do not. Designation of eligible properties will be updated as the City allows development beyond the Tier 1 Boundary so the incentive program will apply in newly annexed areas as infill sites may exist or be created.

Eligible properties will be divided into two “priority zones”, based on location and other characteristics that make infill development desirable from the City’s perspective, with greater incentives offered for Priority 1 land.

Residential projects that meet the following criteria shall be eligible for Transportation Impact Fee Reduction:

1. Adjacent public street travel lanes are paved.

2. The project site is 75% surrounded by existing development that has been in place an average of fifteen years or more.

3. The project is within the Tier 1 Urban Growth Boundary as of October 2014.

Infill Incentives for Priority Properties Priority 1
properties are those that:
• Are located in the Tier 1 Growth Boundary
• Have a parcel size of a maximum aggregate site size of five (5) acres; • Have a development proposal for housing where at least 50% of the units are affordable to households earning 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) or below, or 20 percent are affordable to households earning 80 percent of AMI or below.

Priority 2 properties are those that:
• Are located within the City limits in an area not specified under Priority 1, including any annexed unincorporated county islands (except for those in the Highway 198 Corridor).

Priority 1 properties qualify for: Transportation Impact Fee reductions per the City’s existing program, not to exceed 60 percent of the base fee, with fee credit based on the prior use of the site.

Priority 2 properties qualify for: Transportation Impact Fee reductions per the City’s existing program, not to exceed 42 percent of the base fee.

Department Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to adjust the draft JUAs as necessary, to execute the two (2) finalized SCE JUAs, adopt Resolution 2024-66 for the transmission pole relocation at Riggin Avenue and Shirk Street intersection to accommodate the Riggin Widening Project Kelsey St. to Shirk St. and adopt Resolution 2024-67 for the transmission pole relocation east of Shirk St. as part of The Carlton Acres Commercial Project. These agreements were prepared by Southern California Edison and reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.

Background Discussion:

The purpose of the Riggin Widening Project Kelsey St. to Shirk St. is to increase vehicle capacity on Riggin Avenue by adding additional lanes and to provide for an efficient flow of traffic to support growing industrial development within the surrounding area. The City Council identified this segment of Riggin Avenue as a priority transportation corridor and to advance its construction through the use of Measure R Regional Bond Funds at the December 3, 2019 City Council Work Session meeting.

The Carlton Acres Commercial Development project is conditioned to widen Riggin Ave. and Shirk St. along their project frontage. To widen Riggin Ave. the fronting transmission poles need to be relocated to their ultimate location. This development project will relocate six (6) transmission poles east of Shirk St. to construct Riggin Ave. as part of their conditions of approval.

Before any roadway construction can begin the Southern California Edison (SCE) transmission poles in conflict with the project will need to be relocated to their ultimate location. These Joint Use Agreements will establish the new area for the relocated transmission poles surrounding the Riggin Visalia City Council Page 1 of 4 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™450
File #: 24-0499 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 3.

Agreements will establish the new area for the relocated transmission poles surrounding the Riggin Ave. and Shirk St.intersection. These agreements need to be executed and recorded to mobilize SCE crews to relocate their facilities.

Project Status
Riggin Widening Project Kelsey St. to Shirk St. is currently at 100% design and ready for advertisement. Environmental phase and ROW phase have been completed and federal construction funding has been obligated. Utility relocation is anticipated to begin in January or February of 2025 with road construction in Q1 2025.

The Carlton Acres Commercial Development is currently under construction and is expected to be completed before October of 2025.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact at this time. The Joint Use Agreements are reinstating SCE liability rights on the transmission poles being relocated. Council previously approved on August 5, 2024, the agreement with SCE that established financial responsibility of the cost to relocate the transmission poles associated with the Riggin Avenue Widening Project Kelsey St. to Shirk St. Below is the project budget breakdown for reference.

Staff recommends that the City Council receive the staff report and staff presentation, hold a public hearing, and adopt Resolution No. 2024-68, denying the appeal and upholding the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17.

Summary:

The applicant, Derek Finnegan, consultant with Lars Anderson & Associates representing property owner Jim Shehadey, filed Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17, to establish an expanded service station with 14 fueling dispensers (containing 28 total positions) and a carwash facility. The uses will be located within the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center, at the southwest corner of West Visalia Parkway and South Mooney Boulevard. The carwash will be a standalone use, while the service station will be affiliated with a proposed big box retail membership club store, also to be located within the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center. A full description of the conditional use permit request is provided in the “Project Overview” section of this staff report.

The entitlement application was heard by the Visalia Planning Commission at public hearings on September 23, 2024, and October 14, 2024. The Planning Commission requested modifications to the project’s conditions of approval and site plan at the September 23, 2024, meeting, and officially approved the conditional use permit request on October 14, 2024. On October 24, 2024, the City Clerk received two appeals of the Planning Commission’s approval, citing errors and abuse of discretion by the Planning Commission, and a lack of evidence supporting its approval of the conditional use permit request. An appeal hearing before the Visalia City Council was scheduled for November 18, 2024. However, due to the breadth of the appeal filings, the applicant requested a Visalia City Council Page 1 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™491
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

November 18, 2024. However, due to the breadth of the appeal filings, the applicant requested a continuance of the public hearing to December 3, 2024. The continuance was granted by the City Council at the November 18, 2024, meeting. Detail on the Planning Commission hearings and appeals of the conditional use permit approval are provided in the “Planning Commission Review and Action” and “Appeals” sections of the staff report.

Planning Commission Review and Action:

September 24, 2024, Planning Commission Hearing
At the September 23, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17, a request to establish a service station with 14 fuel dispensers and carwash within the Commons at Visalia Parkway Shopping Center. Public comment in favor of the proposal was received from property owner Jim Shehadey, and project consultants Dan Zoldak, Ryan Alvarez, and Sterling Smith with Lars Anderson and Associates, Kimley-Horn, and BRR Architecture, respectively.

Public comments in opposition to the proposal were provided by a general member of the public, April Lancaster, and residents of the Westlake Village senior mobile home park (Claudia Lenoir, David Jensen, Jill Faenza, Mary Abeyta, Joseph Metras, and Anna Maier). The mobile home park is located west of the project site. All speakers shared concerns about potential environmental impacts from the project to the elderly residents of Westlake Village. Speakers focused primarily on the location and operation of the proposed gas station and analysis provided within the Health Risk Assessment (HRA). Specifically, the opponents indicated they believed an advisory guideline of a 300-foot setback for the siting of service stations near sensitive receptors such as housing should be required. In response to the comments and questions from the Commission, the applicant stated that they would be willing to relocate the proposed gas station further eastward, increasing the setback between the gas station and the nearest residence within the Westlake Village mobile home park.

At the conclusion of public testimony, the Planning Commission requested revisions and additions to the proposed conditions of approval for the project, to further address potential impacts to nearby sensitive uses. This included adding a condition requiring a landscape buffer along the western boundary of the project site, clarifying where the height of noise buffering block walls would be measured from, clarifying hours of operation for loading dock and delivery activities, and including mitigation measures as explicit conditions. The Planning Commission also directed the applicant to provide a revised site plan depicting the relocated service station. The Commission then approved the item by a vote of 4-0 (Commissioner Chris Tavarez absent). As part of its decision, the Commission directed staff to return with the revised conditions and site plan at the next regular meeting on October 14, 2024, so it could review and give final approval to the revised materials as a Consent Calendar item.

October 14, 2024, Planning Commission Hearing
At the October 14, 2024, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission considered a Consent Calendar item to review the revised conditions of approval and site plan for Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17. The revisions to the conditions reflected changes requested by the Commission at its September 23, 2024, meeting. The site plan reflected a change by the applicant to relocate the gas station further eastward, to address concerns expressed by the public over the facility’s proximity to existing residential uses west of the project site. While the original site plan presented by the applicant identified the nearest fuel dispenser as approximately 99 feet from the property boundary shared with Westlake Village, the revised site plan depicted the nearest fuel dispenser at a setback of approximately 160 feet from the shared property boundary, and approximately 187 feet from the Visalia City Council Page 2 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™492
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
nearest residence.

The applicant also provided a revised HRA with a brief addendum, analyzing the effects of the relocated service station to nearby sensitive receptors. The analysis remained fundamentally unchanged, concluding that there would still be a “less than significant impact” from the proposed service station on nearby residences. The materials also clarified the applicability of a 300-foot setback guideline provided within the HRA, noting that such guidelines are advisory, and would not supersede site-specific analysis, which determines the actual risk from a particular facility.

Public comments in favor of the proposal were received from property owner Jim Shehadey, and project consultant Jason Ellard, an air quality consultant with JK Consulting Group. Public comments in opposition to the proposal were provided by members of the public April Lancaster and Efrain Becerra, and residents of the Westlake Village senior mobile home park (Claudia Lenoir, Anna Maier, Doug Gallard, Connie Page, Jill Faenza, Angela Romanello, and Mary Abeyta). All speakers continued to express concerns about potential environmental impacts from the project to the Westlake Village residents as a result of the close proximity of the proposed gas station. Specifically, the speakers requested that the City impose the advisory 300-foot setback guideline mentioned in the HRA. Opponents also expressed concern about the filing of a CEQA Notice of Determination (NOD) for the September 23, 2024, approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17. The opponents stated that the filing was premature since the Commission had requested to review revisions to the site plan and conditions of approval. In response staff stated that pursuant to Public Resources Code 21152(c), a revised NOD would be filed after the final approval of the conditional use permit request, if approved.

At the conclusion of public testimony, the Planning Commission expressed support for the revisions to the conditions of approval and site plan, and approved the item by a vote of 4-1 (Commissioner Charlie Norman voting in opposition).

Appeal:

Appeal Filings
On October 24, 2024, the City Clerk received two appeals of the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17. The appellants, and the reasons for the appeal, are listed below:
· Appeal No. 1 - Filed by William N. Hannah, attorney with the law offices of Hornburg, Gaebe, & Hannah, Inc., representing 2400 W Midvalley, LLC, the owner of the Westlake Village mobile home park.

The appellant alleges that the City of Visalia did not observe proper public notification procedures for the project, and failed to conduct adequate environmental review to address impacts from the gas station use to wildlife and sensitive receptors, and to analyze impacts from air pollution and noise.
· Appeal No. 2 - Filed by Anna Maier, resident of Westlake Village, in conjunction with residents of Westlake Village and other members of the public (April Lancaster, Claudia Lenoir, Angela Romanello, Mary Abeyta, Patti A. Evrett, Deborah Merriss, Sharla Searcy-Masor, Joan Goularte, Jill Faenza, Suzan Jaques, Joseph Jaques, David Jensen, Barbara Jensen, Connie Page, and Lonnie Le).

The appellant alleges that there was an error and abuse of discretion by the Visalia Planning Commission when it acted to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17, and that the Commission lacked sufficient evidence to support its decision. Allegations within the document Visalia City Council Page 3 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™493
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

Commission lacked sufficient evidence to support its decision. Allegations within the document are wide ranging, touching on many areas of possible indiscretion, including a faulty HRA analysis, unaddressed impacts from noise, traffic, and lighting, unaddressed impacts to wildlife and housing, inadequate General Plan analysis, and instances of non-compliance with City planning documents, CEQA review processes, and Federal/State law.

The full text of the appeals are included in Attachments 1 and 2. Given the breadth of the documentation provided by the appellants, the claims are bundled together and addressed via category. The appellant claims and City responses are provided below.

1. Air Quality/Health Risk Assessment (HRA)
Claim: Both appellants claim that the HRA submitted by the applicant was flawed in its analysis of air pollution impacts from the service station. Appellants noted several potential issues, including the incorrect listing of the number of fuel dispensers proposed which could impact the conclusions of the HRA, a lack of deference to San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) guidance for the siting of service stations 300 feet from sensitive receptors, failure to employ AERSCREEN or CAPCOA analysis tools, use of outdated emissions data and guidance, use of an outdated EMFAC model to assess emissions, and a failure to address cumulative impacts from benzene, particulate matter, truck deliveries, idling vehicles, and traffic on State Route 63/South Mooney Boulevard. The appellants also noted that the City did not receive comment on the HRA from the SJVAPCD.

City Response: To address the many claims under this category, the applicant has provided a response from air quality consultant Jason Ellard, with JK Consulting Group. The full response is included as Attachment 6. Per Ellard, when evaluating a project’s impact on adjacent sensitive receptors (i.e. those susceptible to adverse health effects from exposure to toxic air contaminants, such as children, the elderly, etc.) the first step is to evaluate the project against available screening tools/methodologies. In evaluating the proposed project, the first step included a comparison of the project to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Air Quality and Land Use Handbook, Table 1 - Recommendations on Siting New Sensitive Land Uses Such as Residences, Schools, Daycare Centers, Playgrounds, or Medical Facilities. The handbook provides recommendations for siting ‘new sensitive land uses’ within proximity of facilities known to generate toxic air contaminants (TACs).

When a project proposes a facility known to generate TACs to be located adjacent to sensitive land uses, Table 1 may be used as a screening tool to determine if further analysis of the project is warranted. In this case, the project is located within 300 feet of sensitive receptors and does not meet the ‘recommendations’ of Table 1. Therefore a site-specific analysis of impacts to sensitive receptors was required to be provided. It should be noted that the ‘recommendations’ in Table 1 are advisory, as noted in the footnotes of Table 1 (see the HRA in Attachment 7), and would not supersede sitespecific analysis which determines the actual risk from a particular facility.

The second step is to perform a Prioritization Analysis consistent with California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s (CAPCOA) methodology. The SJVAPCD, the agency responsible for monitoring and regulating air pollutant emissions from stationary, area, and indirect sources within Tulare County, created a prioritization calculator based on CAPCOA guidelines which may be used to evaluate a projects potential impact to sensitive receptors. “Prioritization” results are a conservative health risk representation and the SJVAPCD recommends a more refined analysis be performed for any project resulting in a Prioritization score of 10 or greater. This was the method used for the HRA submitted for this project. [Please note, per the SJVAPCD Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts, March 19, 2015, there are various tools that can be used to screen toxic sources impacting sensitive receptors, including AERSCREEN and prioritization calculators. Both need not be Visalia City Council Page 4 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™494
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
impacting sensitive receptors, including AERSCREEN and prioritization calculators. Both need not be completed, nor one preferred over the other, to properly evaluate impacts.] If a screening risk assessment shows that there is a concern, a more refined analysis may be prepared to provide more accurate information for decision makers. Screening assessments use more conservative assumptions and thus gives higher risk than refined assessments.

Ellard states that the storage and combustion of fuel at the project site poses potential health risks associated with Benzene, Toluene, Xylenes, Ethyl Benzene, Hexane, Naphthalene, and Propylene (propene) exposure, in addition to Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). These toxic emissions are associated with the project’s operations, and thus were used as inputs to the SJVAPCD Prioritization Calculator, which generated a prioritization score of 8.62 for the Project. Results indicate that toxic emissions associated with the project will generate a prioritization (max) score of 8.62 for ALL sensitive receptors within 0 to 100 meters (0 to 328 feet) of the Project. Based upon SJVAPCD guidance, TAC emissions associated with the project are considered less than significant and would not expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Further analysis is not required nor warranted per SJVAPCD guidance since the Prioritization Score is less than 10.

Per Ellard, it should also be noted that while idling vehicles at the gasoline station would generate criteria pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it would be at a level that is less than significant. Considering trip generation rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook and criteria pollutant emission factors from EMFAC 2017 and 2021 for LightHeavy Duty vehicles, the gas station would generate emissions as follows:

Pollutant EMFAC 2017 EMFAC 2021
ROG 0.065706 tons/yr 0.065953 tons/yr
CO 0.550752 tons/yr 0.551055 tons/yr
NOx 0.059816 tons/yr 0.059015 tons/yr
CO2 20.452703 tons/yr 20.453493 tons/yr
SOx 0.000200 tons/yr 0.000201 tons/yr
PM10 0.000638 tons/yr 0.000639 tons/yr
PM2.5 0.000610 tons/yr 0.000611 tons/yr
The SJVAPCD has established a significance threshold of 10 tons/year for ROG, 100 tons/year for CO, 10 tons/year for NOx, 27 tons/year for SOx, and 15 tons/year for PM10 and PM2.5. Results show that emissions from idling will not exceed the established SJVAPCD criteria. It should be noted that EMFAC does not include emission factors for PM10 and PM2.5 for gasoline vehicles since the PM contribution to ambient air quality from gasoline vehicles is normally negligible. The SJVAPCD has not established a significance threshold for GHG emissions (CO2). Instead, CARB has established a significance threshold of 7,000 MT CO2eq per year. GHG emissions from idling vehicles at the gas station represent 0.3% of the CARB threshold. Given the above, analysis of cumulative impacts from idling vehicles would still produce a less than significant impact to air quality.

In regard to the number of fuel dispensers identified, staff acknowledges that the original HRA did incorrectly state the number of fuel pumps proposed (12 in the HRA versus the 14 that are proposed). However, per Attachment 6, Mr. Ellard states that emissions analysis is based upon the

7.5 million gallons of gasoline and 1.2 million gallons of diesel fuel that are projected to be sold annually onsite. The Prioritization Score of 8.62 identified in the HRA is not related to the number of pumps at the gas station but is directly related to the fuel throughput of the station. As such, the Visalia City Council Page 5 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™495
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
figures provided in the HRA are still accurate despite the wrong number of fuel dispensers listed.

In regard to the use of an outdated EMFAC model, Ellard first notes that the Emission Factor model (EMFAC), developed by CARB, is a mathematical model that was developed to calculate emission rates from motor vehicles that operate on highways, freeways, and local roads in California. It is commonly used by CARB to project changes in future emissions from on-road mobile sources. There are two versions; one from 2017 and one from 2021. Ellard notes that EMFAC 2017 is approved for use by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, due to not accounting for new vehicle technologies, was employed in this instance to produce more conservative emission readings. Ellard notes that for comparison purposes only, he conducted analysis using EMFAC 2021, considering the same methodologies used in the HRA prepared by JK Consulting Group for the project. Using EMFAC 2021, results indicated that toxic emissions associated with the project will generate a prioritization (max) score of 8.63 for ALL sensitive receptors within 0 to 100 meters (0 to 328 feet) of the Project. The prioritization (max) score increases by 0.01, when compared to the results produced from the use of EMFAC 2017.

In response to claims of use of outdated guidance and data, Ellard notes that all guidance and data employed for the development of the HRA is consistent with SJVAPCD methodology and industry standards.

For comments related to the inclusion of impacts from traffic on State Route 63/South Mooney Boulevard, staff notes that the CARB land use handbook recommends avoiding siting new sensitive land uses within 500 feet of a freeway, urban roads with 100,000 vehicles/day, or rural roads with 50,000 vehicles/day. In this instance, residential uses west of the project site are setback approximately 1,252 feet from State Route 63, well outside of the 500 foot CARB guideline setback.

Residential areas to the southeast of the project site that are closer to State Route 63 (approximately 400 feet) are setback at least 850 feet from the proposed gas station, and thus outside the 300-foot CARB guideline setback for gas stations to residences. Given that the guideline setbacks are being met in each scenario, it is unlikely that State Route 63 is producing impacts on the mobile home park that would be exacerbated by the placement of a gas station.

Lastly, the appellant is correct that the SJVAPCD did not provide written comment for the project.

However, staff notes that the SJVAPCD was notified and given an opportunity to provide comment during publication of the CEQA Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project, and through regular public hearing notification processes. Staff also spoke with SJVAPCD staff on September 16, 2024, and provided a link to the CEQA document. SJVAPCD did contact staff on September 23, 2024, after 5:00pm, the day of the first Planning Commission public hearing, to request an extension of time to provide comment. However, due to the public hearing for the project occuring later that evening, staff stated that an extension of time would not be possible. As such, no comment letter was ever received from SJVAPCD. Please note that as part of regular development processes, the applicant will still be required to comply with SJVAPCD requirements, including obtaining permits through the SJVAPCD for construction of the proposed service station and carwash.

2. Noise
Claim: The appellants claim that noise impacts from the proposed use have not been adequately analyzed or addressed. The appellants point to the lack of analysis of noise impacts from onsite vehicle traffic, including delivery trucks and parking lot operations, specifically in the area where vehicles will exit the gas station property.

City Response: The applicant has provided supplement information to the 2024 BAC noise study Visalia City Council Page 6 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™496
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

City Response: The applicant has provided supplement information to the 2024 BAC noise study (Attachment 5) that was originally conducted for the project, included here as Attachment 5. The supplemental information is provided from noise consultant Dario Gotchet, with Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc. (BAC). Per BAC, the supplemental material incorporates trip generation information provided in a traffic memo previously prepared for the project by Kimley-Horn (see Traffic Memorandum for the Proposed Sam’s Fuel Project in the City of Visalia in Attachment 7). BAC has conducted a re-analysis of project noise level exposure as the changes identified in the traffic memo will affect the analysis and associated results contained in the parking movements and cumulative project on-site operations noise impact discussions. Further, after review of a traffic circulation diagram contained in the Kimley-Horn traffic memo, and consideration of the projects proximity to nearby residential uses, it was determined that an additional impact discussion for on-site passenger vehicle noise would be warranted, employing both data from the Federal Highway Administration Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108) and project trip generation data contained in the revised Kimley-Horn traffic memo. Additionally, modifications were also made to account for how noise affects typical manufactured home construction versus standard residential construction. That analysis conservatively assumes an exterior to interior noise level reduction of 20 dB for manufactured homes, instead of 25 dB for standard residential construction.

Upon reanalysis BAC determined that project parking area noise levels would still be expected to satisfy the strictest Visalia Municipal Code interior noise level criteria within the nearest existing residences (manufactured homes), producing a less than significant impact. For on-site passenger vehicle circulation, BAC determined that noise exposure was predicted to satisfy applicable Visalia General Plan and Visalia Municipal Code noise level criteria at the nearest existing residential uses, and that noise exposure from this activity was not calculated to significantly increase ambient noise levels at those uses, thereby producing a less than significant impact.

BAC concludes the reanalysis by assessing the cumulative noise impacts of all onsite operations.

Here, BAC confirms that cumulative and highest predicted noise levels from on-site operations are calculated to exceed the Visalia General Plan daytime and nighttime noise level standards, at a portion of the nearest residential uses, and exceed a portion of the applied Visalia Municipal Code nighttime and maximum exterior noise level limits at the nearest residential uses. When adjusting for manufactured home construction, the impact is identified as potentially significant, requiring mitigation to address. However, BAC notes that the mitigation measures previously identified in the original noise study (i.e. reduced hours of operation for delivery and loading dock activities, eight foot tall masonry walls along the western property boundary, and compliance with construction noise standards in the Visalia Municipal Code) are still sufficient to reduce the impact to a level that is less than significant, and in compliance with Visalia General Plan and Municipal Code noise criteria.

Staff also notes that additional measures have been put in place via conditions of approval to further limit the impact of noise on the Westlake Village complex. Specifically, requirements for the placement of an eight-foot-tall block wall along the southern boundary of the project site (also adjacent to residential uses), and placement of screening landscaping along the southern and western property boundaries. In addition, Condition No. 7 of CUP No. 2024-17 requires that prior to final occupancy of the big box retail store, service station, and carwash facility, the applicant/developer shall verify that the uses do not exceed Community Noise levels as identified in the original noise analysis in Attachment 7 (Acoustical Engineering Services, Inc., May 2024 Environmental Noise & Vibration Assessment: SWC W. Visalia Parkway & S. Mooney Boulevard Development. Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc., July 15, 2024). Per the condition, the applicant/developer shall have their acoustical noise consultant conduct noise measurements for the uses and the measurement shall be submitted and verified by Planning staff for acceptance.

uses and the measurement shall be submitted and verified by Planning staff for acceptance. Failure to meet the noise requirements as specified in the acoustical analysis shall result in the applicant/developer implementing additional measures as needed to not exceed noise level standards for the residences.

3. Housing
Claim: The appellant claims that the proximity of the gas station to housing affects the ability to insure the home, as Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Guidelines (specifically FHA 4000.1II.D.3.b.iii(C) (6)-(7)) require that homes not be near “flammable or explosive materials”, City Response: The cited FHA guideline comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, and is meant to assist appraisers in identifying deficiencies in a property when conducting appraisals, specifically from external sources.

The text of the FHA guideline is provided below (Note: emphasis added):

The Appraiser must notify the Mortgagee if excessive smoke, chemical fumes, noxious odors, stagnant ponds or marshes, poor surface drainage or excessive dampness threaten the health and safety of the occupants or the marketability of the Property.

The Appraiser must consider the effect of the condition in the valuation of the Property if the conditions exist but do not threaten the occupants or marketability. (7) Stationary Storage Tanks
If the subject property line is located within 300 feet of an aboveground, stationary storage tank with a capacity of more than 1,000 gallons of flammable or explosive material, then the Property is ineligible for FHA insurance, and the Appraiser must notify the Mortgagee of the deficiency of MPR or MPS.

The project will not involve the development of an aboveground stationary storage tank. And based on the operational information provided by the applicant in Attachment 4 and the HRA, the service station is not expected to produce smoke, fumes, odors, etc. that would threaten the health and safety of nearby residential occupants. As such the regulation is not applicable. Furthermore, City Building permit review and building inspection processes for development of the gas station will ensure that the facility is developed in accordance with all City and State Codes for building and fire safety. Clearance will also be required from SJVAPCD and the Tulare County Environmental Health Division, which conduct their own reviews and inspections for service station uses. Given the above, the project is not expected to be detrimental to a persons ability to ensure a home.

4. Climate Action Plan
Claim: The appellant claims that the City of Visalia has failed to perform regular emission inventories as discussed in its Climate Action Plan. And that this represents a failure of the City to comply with environmental justice mandates to protect disadvantaged communities such as Westlake Village from pollution exposure.

City Response: A Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a proactive plan created to help guide the City with development and enhancement of actions to reduce Visalia’s GHG emissions. The Visalia CAP does recommend the City re-inventory its GHG emissions on a regular basis. However, it is not a requirement of the CAP nor is it a State mandate. Furthermore, the CAP was designed to guide the City to limit GHG emissions through public programs, promotion of cleaner equipment, and development of infrastructure that supports GHG emission reductions. It is not designed as a tool to Visalia City Council Page 8 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™498
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
development of infrastructure that supports GHG emission reductions. It is not designed as a tool to limit emissions from private development. As such, the claim is considered general in nature and does not raise any specific project-related issues.

Staff notes that the Climate Action Plan does include several municipal mitigation measures to assist in reducing emission impacts, such as installing solar photovoltaic systems, or using Energy Star compliant equipment. Such measures could be included as a condition of approval by the City Council upon the proposed private development. That notwithstanding, staff notes that the HRA analysis, which reviewed emissions from the proposed use, did not recommend the application of any mitigation measures to address emissions.

It should be noted that the City continues to develop projects that enhance its ability to provide for multi-modal modes of transportation, to reduce travel means by vehicles. Efforts to incorporate these projects into the City’s circulation system, as identified in the City’s Active Transportation Plan, include the following:
· Packwood Creek Trail Project - Incorporated Class IV bike lanes on Walnut Avenue from Santa Fe Street to Ben Maddox Way, and trail construction from Cedar Street to Crumal Street. This also included incorporation of a mid-block HAWK signal at Lovers Lane. · Riggin Avenue Widening from Akers Avenue to Demaree Street - Added Class IV bike lanes along the street corridor.
· Caldwell Avenue Reconstruction from Akers Avenue to Shady Street - Added buffered Class II bike lanes.
· County Center Street Rehabilitation Project from Houston Avenue to Riggin Avenue - Incorporated Class IV bike lanes and a protected intersection at Ferguson Street and County Center Street.
· Walnut Avenue Rehabilitation from Court Street to Central Street - Added buffered Class II bike lanes where feasible
· St. Johns Parkway Rehabilitation from Ben Maddox Way to Lovers Lane - Incorporated buffered Class II bike lanes.

Lastly, Caltrans is undergoing the installation of Class II bike lanes along Mooney Boulevard as part of a rehabilitation project. The Mooney Boulevard corridor is also now considered a major transit stop, as it supports two or more major bus routes with service every 15 minutes or less during peak commute periods. Given this classification and the work conducted by Caltrans, Mooney Boulevard is also considered supportive to the City’s efforts to promote multi-model modes of transportation.

5. Federal and State Law
Claim: The appellant claims that State and Federal laws require the City of Visalia to act to protect disadvantaged communities by decreasing exposure to pollution. The appellant cites SB 1000 (2016), AB 98 (applicable in 2026), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as applicable law that the City failed to take into consideration when approving the CUP request.

City Response: SB 1000 is a State law that requires local governments with disadvantaged communities in their planning areas to develop environmental justice policies as part of their general plans. The aim is to address unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities by decreasing pollution exposure, increasing community assets, and improving overall health. The City has drafted an Environmental Justice Element for its General Plan that has been posted for 30-day public review from June 3, 2024 to July 3, 2024. The draft plan includes within the Background and Visalia City Council Page 9 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™499
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
public review from June 3, 2024 to July 3, 2024. The draft plan includes within the Background and Context section (Page 9-12) a methodology for determining what is considered a “disadvantaged community”. This includes use of a screening tool (CalEnviroScreen 4.0) to identify such communities. CalEnviroScreen uses 21 indicators to assess pollution burdens and population vulnerabilities for each census tract in California and assigns a score for each indicator. The higher the percentile score, the more that census tract is impacted by that indicator. Individual indicator scores are then summarized into two primary metrics: pollution burden and population characteristics, which are together calculated to determine an overall CalEnviroScreen score.

Census tracts in the top 25 percent of overall CalEnviroScreen scores (percentile scores between 75 and 100) are identified as disadvantaged communities by the CalEPA. Per CalEnviroScreen, the project site has an overall score of 60%, outside of the range identified by CalEPA to be considered a disadvantaged community. As such the Westlake Village community is not considered a disadvantaged community. Please note, despite this conclusion, mitigation measures and conditions of approval have still been applied to the project to address potential impacts from noise, lighting, and operation of the use on the Westlake Village community. And once the Environmental Justice Element is adopted, it will further assist in reducing pollution impacts Citywide.

AB 98 is a State law, commencing September 30, 2026, that prohibits cities and counties from approving new or expanded logistics uses unless they meet specified standards, and requires cities and counties to update their circulation elements to include truck routes. Standards include setback requirements from residential uses. AB 98 defines “logistics use” to mean “a building in which cargo, goods, or products are moved or stored for later distribution to business or retail customers, or both, that does not predominantly serve retail customers for onsite purchases, and heavy-duty trucks are primarily involved in the movement of the cargo, goods, or products, with specified exceptions”. The proposed big box retail membership store that is associated with the gas station does not meet this definition, as it will predominantly serve retail customers for onsite purchases. As such, the provisions of AB 98 would not apply.

The ADA is a Federal law that provides protections for individuals with disabilities, with focuses on civil liberties and accessibility. While the appellant notes that some Westlake Village residents are affected by disabilities, no connection is made or information provided to support that the project will produce impacts to civil liberties and/or accessibility for the residents of Westlake Village. As such, the claim is considered general in nature and does not raise any specific project-related issues. Staff notes that as part of building permit and inspection processes, the applicant will be required to demonstrate that all proposed facilities will be ADA compliant.

6. Traffic
Claim: The appellant claims that traffic projections submitted by Kimley-Horn are based on figures collected from a non-equivalent site, due to its location in a low populated area. The appellant also states that West Visalia Parkway, in its current configuration, is inadequate to support the expected traffic to be generated by the proposed use.

City Response: Staff notes that the Kimley-Horn traffic memorandum cited by the appellant (see Attachment 7, Exhibit M from the October 14, 2024 Planning Commission staff report) is primarily meant to evaluate the vehicle queuing capability of the service station. Staff also notes that the facility used as a basis for trip generation figures (Sam’s Club in Bakersfield, CA) is located in an active commercial shopping center, primarily surrounded by commercial development to the north and west, and residential development to the east. Though there is vacant commercial land to the south, it does not appear that the area is unpopulated.

In response to the claim that West Visalia Parkway is inadequate to support increased traffic, staff Visalia City Council Page 10 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™500
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

In response to the claim that West Visalia Parkway is inadequate to support increased traffic, staff notes that as part of the original CUP approval for the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center, right of way improvements to South Mooney Boulevard and West Visalia Parkway were required to adequately support traffic. Improvements included widening of the southern half of West Visalia Parkway between the project site and South Dans Street, including a portion west of the Dans Street and Visalia Parkway intersection. The right of way improvements required for the overall shopping center are largely completed, save for the widening of the southern half of West Visalia Parkway between the project site and South Dans Street. Per previous conditions and mitigation measures applied to the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center, widening of West Visalia Parkway is required prior to occupancy any of the uses proposed on the project site. Given the above, it is expected that West Visalia Parkway will be able to adequately serve traffic generated by the proposed uses, if they are approved.

7. CEQA Processes
Claim: The appellant claims that a number of errors were conducted by staff during its steering of the CEQA review process, thereby inspiring a loss of confidence in the adequacy of the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration. The appellant provides as examples the premature filing of a CEQA Notice of Determination (NOD) for the project prior to its official approval by the Planning Commission, inconsistencies within the Air Quality portion of the Initial Study that note impacts are both “less than significant” and “significant and unavoidable”, and the fact that an Environmental Impact Report was not conducted.

City Response: Staff concurs that the NOD for the project was filed prematurely. Pursuant to Public Resources Code 21152(c), the NOD must be filed only when a final approval for a project has been given, following the expiration of any appeal period or the processing of any appeal action. A NOD filed before a project approval is issued is invalid and does not trigger the statute of limitations ( Coalition for Clean Air v. City of Visalia (2012) 209 Cal.App.4th 408.). As such, the premature filing of the NOD was void on its face, and is considered a clerical error that resulted in no harm or prejudice to any legal rights held by any interested party to this matter. As detailed above, the administrative process for this project has continued, with all interested parties fully able to participate in the proceedings subsequent to the premature NOD filing.

In regards to Section III (Air Quality) of the Initial Study, staff notes that during processing of the General Plan, it was acknowledged that full build out of the City as formulated in the General Plan would result in “significant and unavoidable impacts” to the environment. This was addressed via the adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations along with the General Plan. A Statement of Overriding Considerations is a written statement that outlines the specific reasons why the social, economic, legal, technical, or other beneficial aspects of a project (in this case the 2014 General Plan) outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, and why the Lead Agency is willing to accept such impacts. This is why the text within Section III states that impacts to air quality are significant and unavoidable. That said, the City has yet to be fully built out. The City contains three development tiers, and has only recently opened development into Tier II. As such, the project, based on the analysis provided in the HRA, is considered as producing less than significant impacts. As it stands, it is unclear how the apparent inconsistency in Section III correlates to an increase in environmental impacts to the appellants.

Lastly, staff notes that the first CEQA review conducted for the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center was an Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration. Per the 2001 CEQA Deskbook (1999 Second Edition) an Environmental Impact Report should be conducted when a “Lead Agency determines that it can be fairly argued based on substantial evidence, in light of the whole record, Visalia City Council Page 11 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™501
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
determines that it can be fairly argued based on substantial evidence, in light of the whole record, that a project may have a significant effect on the environment” (Page 37). The City of Visalia (the Lead Agency in this instance) determined that the proposed revisions to the original shopping center proposal did not support a requirement for an Environmental Impact Report. Studies provided by the applicant indicated that impacts could be reduced to a less than significant level with the application of mitigation measures. No evidence has been provided by the appellant demonstrating the potential for significant and unavoidable impacts from the project.

8. Public Noticing
Claim: The appellant claims that the Westlake Village property owner did not receive a public notice informing them of the September 23, 2024, Planning Commission public hearing.

City Response: Staff has provided within Attachment 8 documentation verifying that a public hearing notice was mailed on August 22, 2024, to occupants and owners of properties located within 300 feet of the project site, informing them of the intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and hold a Planning Commission public hearing for CUP No. 2024-17. The mailing list includes both the mailing address for the Westlake Village property owner and the main office for the Westlake Village mobile home park. Mailing information is provided by the City GIS system, which obtains addresses from the Tulare County Assessor.

9. Wildlife
Claim: The appellant claims that the environmental review did not take into account impacts to wildlife and habitat present at the Westlake Village mobile home park, such as Canadian geese, aquatic turtles, ducks, fish, and man-made lakes. The appellant claims that some of the animals cited are protected by State and Federal law.

City Response: Staff does not have any evidence confirming one way or the other whether any species or habitats of note are present within the Westlake Village complex. The Biological Resources section of the Visalia General Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report includes a map (Figure 3.8-1: Vegetation and Special Status Species) that indicates that no such special status species are present within the project site or Westlake Village property. The list of animals noted by the appellant is general and does not identify any specific species, save for Canadian geese, which do not show up on any State or Federal endangered species list. The lakes within Westlake Village are manufactured, and it is unknown if they are treated in any way by the property owners to reduce algae or other nuisances, which would dilute the naturalness of the habitat. As it stands, the Westlake Village complex is already partially surrounded by urban development, including a big box retail store (Target) to the northeast, with little effect on the animals and habitat present onsite.

10. General Plan
Claim: The appellant claims that the 2014 General Plan does not address the type of development or air pollution impacts associated with the project, raising concerns about the adequacy of planning for the projects.

City Response: Staff notes that the City of Visalia 2014 General Plan includes an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases Element, which describes the air quality setting in Visalia and provides objectives and policies to improve conditions. Included as part of the Element is discussion of various criteria air pollutants and toxic air contaminants, including benzene, which were discussed in the HRA submitted by the applicant. The General Plan also includes a Land Use Element, which includes policies that address development of regional commercial uses, such as the project. As such, it is unclear why the General Plan is not considered adequate, and what relevance that has to any potential impacts to Visalia City Council Page 12 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™502
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

General Plan is not considered adequate, and what relevance that has to any potential impacts to Westlake Village.

11. Lighting
Claim: The appellants claim that the project will produce increased lighting impacts within Westlake Village.

City Response: As part of the Planning Commission’s approval of CUP No. 2024-17, conditions have been included requiring the applicant to design onsite lighting so as to direct light downward, reduce glare, and produce no more than 0.5 foot candles at property boundaries, all of which must be verified prior to operation of the use. A condition is also included requiring the planting of evergreen screening trees along the entire western boundary of the project site, with the applicant also proposing additional screening trees along the southern property boundary. The trees will further assist with reducing lighting impacts. Lastly, Condition No. 8 of CUP No. 2024-17 is included, requiring that prior to final occupancy of any building proposed in the site plan, the applicant/developer shall verify that parking lot lighting does not exceed an output of 0.5-foot candles measured at property line, in accordance with the site photometric plan submitted in Attachment 4.

The applicant/developer shall have their electrical or construction contractor conduct a light measurement to be submitted and verified by Planning staff prior to final occupancy. Failure to meet requirements as specified in the photometric plan shall result in non-operation of the site until light levels are met.

12. Case Law Precedent
Claim: The appellant states that a current lawsuit filed by Ventura County Citizens Against Mega Gas against the development of a Costco in Camarillo, CA “may offer useful precedents for Visalia.” Per the appellant, “the case highlights similar concerns regarding the proximity of large retail developments to sensitive receptors like senior communities.” City Response: The court case was filed by citizens of Camarillo, CA and gas station owners to challenge the City of Camarillo approval for a 160,000 square foot big box retail membership store, with a tire center, and 30 pump gas station. The City Attorney conducted research into the court case and found that the lawsuit was filed on the basis of CEQA, and that no decision has been made by the trial court as of the publication of this report. Given that the case is still being processed and no decision has been rendered, there is no relevant precedent to apply to this project. As such, this claim is not applicable.

13. Project Design
Claim: The appellant states that the location of the proposed loading docks for the big box retail store are too close to residential uses, and will result in exacerbating health conditions suffered by residents. The appellants state that the loading dock should be located along West Visalia Parkway, and that the gas station should be relocated further east, to the property on which the carwash is proposed. The appellants also cite impacts from people loitering and racing in the shopping center parking lot, and request the installation of speed bumps as a preventative measure.

City Response: The proposed locations of the gas station and loading docks are expected to produce less than significant impacts to the abutting residential areas with implementation of conditions of approval and mitigation measures. In particular, per building elevations provided in Attachment 4, the design of the loading docks will include installation of 10-foot-tall screening walls at the eastern and southern ends of the loading docks. This will be on top of the eight foot tall screening walls to be Visalia City Council Page 13 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™503
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
located on the property boundary shared with residential uses.

Staff notes that the existing shopping center parking lot (just west of the Les Schwab Tire Center at 4643 South Mooney Boulevard) is prone to loitering as a result of half the shopping center remaining undeveloped. If the proposed project is approved, its development will bring about the installation of parking lot lighting and security cameras, and will bring employees who can report instances of loitering and racing. Please note that the City Council can also require the installation of speed bumps within the shopping center as a condition of approval, if deemed necessary.

14. Alternative Locations
Claim: The appellant states that the project should be at a different location, away from residential uses. Specifically the appellants state that the project would be better suited within the Oaks Marketplace shopping center, located east of the project site, at the southeast corner of West Visalia Parkway and South Mooney Boulevard.

City Response: The City cannot compel a project applicant to relocate to a different location. Nor can it compel other property owners to sell or rent their property to an entity. As there is no specific environmental impact cited by this claim, no other responses are warranted. It should be noted that the project site is planned and zoned for Regional Commercial uses. This site was originally designated for Regional Commercial development under the 1991 General Plan and was retained with the adoption of the 2030 General Plan. The purpose and intent of the Regional Commercial zone district is to provide areas for retail establishments that are designed to serve a regional service trade area. The uses permitted in this district are to be of a large-scale regional retail nature with supporting goods and services. Given the above, the use is considered appropriate for the project site.

15. Wall Heights
Claim: The appellant states that existing masonry walls that were built with the initial development of the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center are not sufficient to reduce impacts, as they were built shorter than the seven feet required by the Visalia Municipal Code.

City Response: Staff has confirmed that the existing screening walls built along the southern and western project site boundaries are shorter than the required seven feet. Condition No. 12 and 16.b of CUP No. 2024-17 will require the installation of eight foot tall walls along the southern and western project site boundaries shared with residential uses, to be completed prior to operation of the proposed uses. Conditions are written to require that the eight foot height be measured from the adjacent residential grade. Onsite inspections will also be conducted as part of the building permit review process to verify compliance with the requirement. The eight foot tall walls will assist with reducing impacts from noise produced on the project site.

16. Landscaping
Claim: The appellant states that proposed landscaping for the project will be inadequate to prevent impacts from the proposed use. And that the landscaping should have been planted during the initial development of the Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center.

City Response: Staff notes that screening landscaping required via conditions of approval will assist in reducing impacts from lighting and noise, but acknowledges that it will not be effective until the landscaping reaches full maturity. Staff notes that additional mitigation and conditions of approval will assist in reducing impacts while landscaping matures, including installation of eight foot tall block Visalia City Council Page 14 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™504
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
assist in reducing impacts while landscaping matures, including installation of eight foot tall block walls, limitations on delivery/loading dock hours of operation, onsite lighting design, and compliance inspections.

17. Truck Routes
Claim: The appellant states that delivery trucks will be forced to use roads adjacent to sensitive receptors (i.e. schools and residences) since they are prohibited from using Mooney Boulevard to leave the project site.

City Response: Staff notes that the above claim is inaccurate. Per Figure 4-6: Truck Routes, Rail Lines, and Airport Facilities of the General Plan Circulation Element, South Mooney Boulevard is identified as an approved truck route, available for use by delivery trucks. This will allow for trucks to leave the project site without impacting sensitive land uses. Staff further notes that hours of operation for delivery truck activities will be limited via applied mitigation measures, further reducing impacts to surrounding sensitive receptors.

Project Overview:

Project Description
Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17 is a request to amend Conditional Use Permit No. 2019-31, which established the Commons at Visalia Parkway master planned commercial shopping center.

The original conditional use permit (CUP) conditionally facilitated the development of 17.43 acres of a

28.7 acre site, consisting of approximately 138,188 sq. ft. of commercial uses, including the establishment of four retail buildings of varying sizes (56,800 sq. ft., 29,800 sq. ft. and two 10,000 sq. ft. buildings), a 4,088 sq. ft. gas station/convenience store with six fueling stations and a 3,060 sq. ft. canopy, a 7,500 sq. ft. sit-down restaurant, two 3,000 sq. ft. drive-thru restaurants, and a 5,000 sq. ft. automotive repair shop. The amendment to the CUP proposes consolidation of the retail and office uses, removal of the convenience store, establishment of a carwash, and relocation and expansion of the service station, to accommodate the establishment of the following:
· A 172,000 square foot big box retail membership club store. - Per the Operational Statement in Attachment 4, the store will offer “…bulk merchandise at discounted prices to members, typically requiring annual subscriptions for access to exclusive products and services”.

Additional services include a tire shop and a service station (discussed below). The use will operate seven days a week, 10:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. Monday through Friday, 9:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. Saturdays, and 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Sundays. Specialized “early shopping” hours will also be provided, 8:00 A.M. to 10:00 A.M. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. on Saturday. Delivery activities would occur 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., seven days a week. The number of employees proposed was not provided.

The building will be located east and north of an existing senior mobile home park. Loading docks will be situated at the south end of the retail store, approximately 90 feet from the southern property boundary shared with residential uses, with 10-foot-tall screening walls placed in between. A trash enclosure is proposed at the southwest corner of the project site, setback between 5 to 10 feet from property boundaries shared with residential uses, with landscaping proposed in between. A trash compactor is also proposed along the western wall of the building, near the southwest corner of the retail store. · An expanded service station containing 14 fueling stations, a 9,000 square foot fueling station canopy, and 200 square foot fueling station building - Per Attachment 4, the service station use will operate in conjunction with the big box retail store, and will maintain similar hours of Visalia City Council Page 15 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™505
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
use will operate in conjunction with the big box retail store, and will maintain similar hours of operation. The facility will sell gasoline and diesel fuels, exclusively to store members.

Deliveries of fuel would be received “around the clock unless restricted by the authority having jurisdiction (City of Visalia)”. Employee numbers specific to this use were not provided. Per the Site Plan, the facility will provide vehicle queuing for up to 70 vehicles. Per the Site Plan, the closest fuel station will be setback approximately 100 feet from the western property boundary shared with residential uses.
· A 7,500 square foot carwash facility - The applicant proposes an automated and manual fullservice car wash facility with 22 drying stations. Additional services such as waxing and detailing will also be provided. The hours of operation and employee numbers have not been provided by the applicant. Per Attachment 4, the facility will provide vehicle queuing for up to 24 vehicles. The Site Plan indicates that the carwash will be set back approximately 470 feet from the nearest residential uses to the west. Per Building Elevations, the tenant is identified as a Mister Car Wash.
· A 5,588 square foot fast-food restaurant with a drive-thru lane for 35 vehicles. - The applicant proposes a fast-food restaurant with a dual drive-thru lane. Per Attachment 4, the user will provide “…quick service dining options through a streamlined assembly-line approach to food preparation and service.” The hours of operation or employee numbers have not been provided by the applicant. The dual drive-thru lane will provide vehicle queuing for up to 35 vehicles.

The carwash and expanded service station require approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The retail store and fast food restaurant uses are permitted by right and are not a part of the Conditional Use Permit amendment request. As a result of the proposed changes, the total building square footage of the shopping center will increase from 138,188 square feet to 200,398 square feet, primarily due to the addition of the big box retail store.

The area affected by the new uses is composed of seven parcels totaling 22.2 acres out of the 28.7- acre shopping center. The parcels will be reconfigured as part of an ongoing Lot Line Adjustment (see Related Projects) that will consolidate the seven parcels into three parcels, the largest containing the retail store and service station. The parcels are currently primarily vacant, with portions developed with a parking field, drive-aisles, curb/gutter/sidewalk, parking lot lighting, and landscaping. New on and off-site improvements to support the proposed changes consist of the following:
· Relocation of the existing easternmost Visalia Parkway drive approach and drive aisle approximately 250 feet to the west, installation of additional curb/gutter/sidewalk at the northwest corner of the project site and at the location of the relocated drive approach. · Development of the parking field, increasing stalls provided from 744 to 1,141. · Installation of on-site parking lot lighting, consisting of 30-foot-tall light poles and wall pack lighting at a height of 24 feet.
· Installation of onsite landscaping.
· Installation of underground storage tanks for the service station use. · Installation of accompanying utilities for all proposed uses.

The project will also be responsible for completing the widening of the southern half of West Visalia Parkway, from the project site westerly to South Dans Street (approximately 0.4 miles), as required Visalia City Council Page 16 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™506
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

Parkway, from the project site westerly to South Dans Street (approximately 0.4 miles), as required by the original Commons at Visalia Parkway shopping center approval. Per the Phasing Plan in Attachment 4, the project will be developed in two phases, with the drive-thru restaurant, carwash, and related improvements proposed during the first phase, and the big box retail store, service station, majority of the parking field, and related improvements proposed for the second phase.

Timeframes for when development will occur have not been provided. The remainder of the shopping center has been developed, and includes a sit-down restaurant (Texas Roadhouse), two drive-thru restaurants (Dutch Bros. Coffee and Panda Express), and a tire shop (Les Schwab Tires).

Accompanying onsite parking, lighting, landscaping, block walls, and on/off-site infrastructure improvements (including the widening of both Visalia Parkway and Mooney Boulevard across the project frontages, and improvement of the Visalia/Mooney intersection) have also been previously completed.

Land Use Compatibility
The proposed retail building and fast-food restaurant meets all drive-thru performance standards are permitted uses “by right” within the C-R Zone. Ancillary uses conducted within the general retail store, such as the sale of merchandise, groceries, tire sales & service (excluding major repairs), optical exams and sales, hearing aid testing and sales, fast food, specialty food (i.e. butcher), alcohol sales, and propane sales are all permitted as standalone or incidental uses in this zone. The service station and carwash uses are also permitted through approval of a CUP. The proposed uses identified will be situated within an established shopping center and will be compatible with the surrounding commercial areas to the north and east which contain either fully developed and/or developing shopping centers (Packwood Shopping Center to the north, Oaks Marketplace to the east).

Furthermore, the General Plan identifies the Regional Commercial designation as one which allows for “Shopping malls, large format, or “big-box” retail” [and] “…supporting uses such as gas stations and hotels”. The uses proposed within the revised Commons at Visalia Parkway master planned commercial shopping center fit under the Regional Commercial land use designation.

Areas to the south and west are primarily residential, containing the Westlake Village senior mobile home park. Potential impacts to residential areas from air quality, noise, and lighting will be addressed through a combination of design, mitigation measures, and conditions of approval.

Mitigation measures include placement of an eight-foot-tall block wall along the western property boundary shared with residential uses and restricted delivery/loading dock hours of operation to limit noise impacts from the retail store and service station. Conditions of approval will also require the placement of an eight-foot-tall block wall and landscape screening along the southern and western property boundary shared with residential uses, and adjustments to onsite lighting to reduce glare, including verification of compliance with photometric plans submitted prior to occupancy of any proposed building. The applicant has also included design elements such as screening walls for the loading docks, parapet walls to screen HVAC equipment, orientation of the carwash so that blowers face eastward towards Mooney Boulevard away from residences, and installation of parking lot light poles no closer than 50 feet to residential areas. Previous mitigation measures and conditions of approval applied during the original approval of the shopping center shall continue to be applicable.

With all the identified measures in place, the proposed development will be compatible with surrounding land uses.

Air Quality/HRA
Residences located to the west and south of the proposed project are considered sensitive receptors susceptible to air quality impacts from the proposed use. As a result, an HRA was submitted and is included with the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The HRA analyzed potential impacts from Visalia City Council Page 17 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™507
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
included with the Mitigated Negative Declaration. The HRA analyzed potential impacts from carcinogenic, chronic, and acute toxic air contaminants (TAC) produced by the proposed service station on nearby sensitive receptors. The HRA identified residences located west of the project site as the nearest sensitive receptors. Specifically, the fuel dispensing area is located approximately 187 feet from the nearest existing residence. The HRA noted that a 50-foot separation is recommended for typical gas dispensing facilities and that siting ‘new’ sensitive land uses within 300 feet of a large gas station (facility with a throughput of 3.6 million gallons per year or greater) should be avoided.

However, the HRA also notes that while the service station is anticipated to sell 7.5 million gallons of gasoline and 1.2 million gallons of diesel fuel annually, the recommendation related to 300 feet is related to siting new sensitive receptors adjacent to exiting gasoline dispensing facilities.

Furthermore, the 300-foot setback guideline within Table 1 of the HRA (Recommendations on Siting New Sensitive Land Uses Such as Residences, Schools, Daycare Centers, Playgrounds, or Medical Facilities) is advisory, and would not supersede site-specific analysis which determines the actual risk from a particular facility.

The HRA analyzed volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, diesel emissions from truck traffic and idling, and emission rates provided in the California Air Resources Board and California Air Pollution Control Officers Association’s Gasoline Service Station Industrywide Risk Assessment Technical Guide (February 18, 2022), to estimate emissions associated with the operation of the gasoline service station.

Lastly, the HRA employed the SJVAPCD Prioritization Calculator to determine the “Total Max Score” of Project specific toxic emissions as discussed above. Projects with a Prioritization score of 10 or higher require a Health Risk Assessment with dispersion modeling. Toxic emissions associated with the Project were used as inputs to the Prioritization Calculator which generated the prioritization score for the Project. Results indicated that toxic emissions associated with the Project would generate a max score of 8.62 for sensitive receptors within 328 feet of the Project. Project emissions associated with the Project will not trigger dispersion modeling since the Total Max Score is less than

10. As a result, dispersion modeling was not required for the Project considering the SJVAPCD’s methodology/threshold and mitigation is not warranted since there is a less than significant impact from project operational emissions. The latest version of the HRA can be found in Attachment 7.

Noise
The project will result in noise generation typical of urban development. The Visalia Noise Element and City Ordinance contain criterion for acceptable noise levels inside and outside residential living spaces. This standard is 65 dB DNL for outdoor activity areas associated with residences and 45 dB DNL for indoor areas.

An Acoustical Analysis was prepared for the proposed project, addressing the proposed commercial retail building, service station, and automated car wash uses [Environmental Noise & Vibration Assessment: SWC W. Visalia Parkway & S. Mooney Boulevard Development. Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc., July 15, 2024, with supplemental information submitted November 19, 2024].

Impacts from the proposed drive-thru restaurant were not included given its lack of proximity to residential uses (approximately 750-foot separation at its closest point), and the fact that it is a use permitted by right in the C-R Zone. The purpose of the study was to determine if noise levels associated with the project would comply with the City’s applicable noise level standards, particularly upon the existing single-family residential mobile home park uses to the west and south. The acoustical analysis was intended to determine project
‐
related noise levels for all aspects of the
proposed project.

The Acoustical Analysis concluded that an exterior noise level in excess of the 65 dB DNL standard Visalia City Council Page 18 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™508
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

The Acoustical Analysis concluded that an exterior noise level in excess of the 65 dB DNL standard for noise-sensitive land uses, specified in the City’s Noise Element, exists on the project site. To ensure that community noise standards are met for the development, the project developers have proposed an increase in height of an existing block wall located on the west side of the main project site to an overall height of eight feet, limited hours of operation to loading dock and truck delivery activities, and construction related compliance with Visalia Municipal Code Noise Ordinance measures and best practices to reduce impacts. The recommendations are included as mitigation measures and will allow for development of the proposal in accordance with the standards contained in the City’s Noise Element and Ordinance. The mitigation measures are as follows:

1. All project loading dock activities shall be limited to daytime hours only (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.).

2. The height of the existing 7-foot-tall masonry wall along the western project property boundary shall be increased to a minimum height of 8-feet. Related to this, please note the following:
a. VMC Section 17.36.050 (Fences, Walls and Hedges - Commercial and Mixed-Use Zones) limits the height of commercial walls to seven feet when located in a rear yard. The VMC permits 20% deviations in height limitations when special circumstances are identified, through the Administrative Adjustment process. Approvals are typically administrative, provided by the Planning and Community Preservation Director. As a result, it is recommended that the Planning Commission include as part of its decision, an approval to permit the height of the block wall to eight feet, as recommended by the Noise Study.
b. To further mitigate impacts, staff recommends inclusion of Condition No. 12, requiring placement of an eight-foot-tall block wall along the southern property boundary shared with residential zonings. As above, it is recommended that the Planning Commission include approval of the height deviation in its decision.

3. All on-site delivery truck circulation shall be limited to daytime hours only (7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.).

4. To the maximum extent practical, the following measures should be incorporated into the project construction operations:
a. All on-site noise-generating construction activities should occur pursuant to Visalia Municipal Code Section 8.36.050 (Noise - Exterior noise standards--Mobile noise sources prohibition against use).
b. All noise-producing project equipment and vehicles using internal-combustion engines shall be equipped with manufacturers-recommended mufflers and be maintained in good working condition.
c. All mobile or fixed noise-producing equipment used on the project site that are regulated for noise output by a federal, state, or local agency shall comply with such regulations while in the course of project activity.
d. Electrically powered equipment shall be used instead of pneumatic or internal combustion-powered equipment, where feasible.
e. Material stockpiles and mobile equipment staging, parking, and maintenance areas shall be located as far as practicable from noise-sensitive uses. f. Project area and site access road speed limits shall be established and enforced during Visalia City Council Page 19 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™509
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
f. Project area and site access road speed limits shall be established and enforced during the construction period.
g. Nearby residences shall be notified of construction schedules so that arrangements can be made, if desired, to limit their exposure to short-term increases in ambient noise levels.

Please also note that previous mitigation measures for noise identified during review of the original shopping center request will continue to be applicable via conditions of approval. Lastly, a condition of approval was included, requiring the applicant/developer to have their acoustical noise consultant conduct noise measurements for the uses upon completion, to verify compliance with the acoustical analysis and VMC noise measures. Failure to meet the noise requirements as specified in the acoustical analysis shall result in the applicant/developer implementing additional measures as needed to achieve noise level standards for the residences.

Street Improvements/Traffic
Right of way improvements originally required for the overall shopping center are largely completed.

The off-site improvements that remain to be completed as identified in the original approval is the widening of the southern half of West Visalia Parkway between the project site and South Dans Street, including a portion west of the Dans Street and Visalia Parkway intersection. The right-of-way improvements shall include installation curb, gutter, park strip landscaping, sidewalks, ramps, streetlights, fire hydrants, and other improvements as required. These improvements will be reimbursed back to the developer via the City’s Traffic Impact Fee Program. These improvements are still required and are included as conditions of approval.

Street improvements for this project will consist of the relocation of the existing easternmost driveway providing access onto Visalia Parkway. The relocation of this driveway further west is proposed to accommodate placement of a parking field for the future fast-food restaurant. Additional minor improvements to the westernmost Visalia Parkway driveway are also proposed, to accommodate truck and vehicle traffic. Installation of missing sidewalk and landscaping shall occur as well.

A Traffic Memo [Technical Memorandum: Trip Generation Comparison, Visalia Commons Shopping Center, Visalia California. Peters Engineering Group, August 19, 2024] was provided by the applicant, comparing potential trip generation from the amended project to what was originally analyzed in the Traffic Impact Analysis Report (TIA) conducted for the overall shopping center (ref.:

Traffic Impact Analysis: Proposed Commons at Visalia Parkway Shopping Center. Peters Engineering Group, January 10, 2020). Based on the analysis provided in the Traffic Memo, trips generated by the revised project will be less than the vehicle trips identified in the original TIA.

As previously stated, required street improvements identified in the original TIA have been largely completed, which included the widening of West Visalia Parkway and South Mooney Boulevard to their ultimate widths along the project site frontage, and improvement of the Visalia Parkway/Mooney Boulevard intersection. Due to the completion of improvements and conclusions of the Traffic Memo, and update to the TIA was not required nor new street improvements or mitigation measures recommended. The original TIA performed remains applicable and covers the projected trip generation for the amended project.

Comment on the Mitigated Negative Declaration was received from Caltrans on September 3, 2024, and is included in Attachment 7. Per the e-mail provided, Caltrans agreed with the findings of the Traffic Memo/Technical Memorandum and had no further comments.

Access and Circulation
With the proposed project, the shopping center will continue to have a total of five access drive Visalia City Council Page 20 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™510
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

With the proposed project, the shopping center will continue to have a total of five access drive points: three along Visalia Parkway and two along Mooney Boulevard. Only the easternmost driveway along Visalia Parkway will change locations. As such, onsite circulation will remain largely unaltered from its original design. Per the Phasing Plan, four of the drive-aisles have already been constructed. Phase 1 of the proposed development will relocate the easternmost Visalia Parkway driveway to the west. The fifth driveway, at the northwest corner of the project site, will be developed with Phase 2.

The driveways will be connected by 25- to 30-foot-wide drive aisles that will function as the main thoroughfares for the shopping center. The drive aisles will be fully installed upon completion of the 2 nd Phase of the development. A condition of approval is included requiring all existing CC&R’s and shared use/access/parking agreements to be updated and recorded to reflect the proposed shopping center alterations. This shall be required prior to issuance of building permits for the uses proposed.

Lighting
The project will create new sources of light that are typically associated with commercial retail use.

The applicant has prepared a photometric study showing the installation of wall pack lighting for the retail store and 30-foot-tall parking lot pole lights. The plan demonstrates that the use will meet the standard of producing no more than 0.5-foot candles crossing at property line, in particular along the boundaries shared with the existing residential development to the south and west.

Staff has addressed lighting compliance in the CUP’s recommended conditions of approval. The conditions require the developer to conduct a lighting measurement verifying compliance with the photometric plan prior to occupancy of the proposed buildings and requires any onsite lighting to be designed so as to screen lighting and direct it downward, reducing impacts to nearby residential areas.

Public Comment:

A public comment letter was received from Richard J. Garcia, Chair of the Kern Kaweah Chapter of the Sierra Club, and is included as Attachment 3. Garcia requested that the City Council consider applying additional mitigation measures to the project to address global warming through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Specifically, Garcia requests that the City Council require the applicant to incorporate “a number of feasible GHG mitigation measures”, listed below as follows:
· Require parking lots for the project to include dedicated electric vehicle (EV) parking and operational charging facilities;
· Require the incorporation of heavy duty EV truck charging stations; · Require the installation of roof top photovoltaic cells on retail buildings, car washing facilities, and fuel stations;
· Require the installation of solar canopies with EV charging capability within customer and employee parking lots; and
· Require the developer to pay GHG fees to the SJVAPCD, to be used to fund projects that would reduce GHG emissions elsewhere.

Staff notes that requirements for the inclusion of EV equipment in development projects is already built into City Building Permit review processes, as required by the California Building and Green Codes, and SJVAPCD processes for Indirect Source Review. For the City, this includes requiring the installation of EV capable stalls and electrical vehicle supply equipment, based on the total number of parking stalls within a parking facility. Installation of the equipment shall be verified during Building Visalia City Council Page 21 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™511
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.
parking stalls within a parking facility. Installation of the equipment shall be verified during Building Permit inspections. As such, staff concludes that the requests of the Sierra Club are already incorporated into the overall project.

No other public comment has been received as of the publication of this report.

Fiscal Impact:

Future development of the property will require the developer to pay development impact fees which include Transportation, Trunk Line Capacity, Strom Drainage Acquisition, Park Acquisition and Development, Waterways Acquisition, Public Safety, and Groundwater Overdraft Mitigation.

Prior Council Action:

On November 18, 2024 the Visalia City Council considered an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of CUP No. 2024-17: A request by Derek Finnegan / Lars Anderson & Associates to amend CUP No. 2019-31, for the establishment of a 172,000 square foot commercial building for the sale of general retail merchandise with a fuel dispensing service station and a car wash. At the request of property owner Jim Shehadey, the City Council continued the public hearing to December 3, 2024, to provide additional time for the applicant to review and provide responses to the two appeals filed against the Planning Commission approval of CUP No. 2024-17.

Recommended Motion (and Alternative Motions if expected):

I move to deny the appeal and uphold the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17 per Resolution No. 2024-68.

Alternatives:

The City Council may, in lieu of the recommended motion specified above, consider any of the following alternatives:

1. Deny the conditional use permit and uphold the appeal, overturning the decision of the Planning Commission to approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17. City Council “findings” will need to be integrated into a revised Resolution for Council review and approval at a subsequent meeting; or

2. Refer the matter back to the Planning Commission; or,

3. Continue the matter to a future City Council hearing for additional information.

CEQA Review:

An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration were prepared for the proposed project. Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-26 (State Clearinghouse 2024080917) states that environmental impacts from the project are determined to be less than significant with the incorporation of mitigation to address significant impacts to the following resources:
· Four (4) mitigation measures pertaining to Noise to address impacts to surrounding sensitive land uses.

A 30-day review and comment period through the State Clearinghouse for the Initial Study began on August 22, 2024, and ended on September 20, 2024. Mitigation measures can be viewed in Attachments 5 and 7 of this report.

The City of Visalia received one “no comment” e-mail from Caltrans in response to the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration. The e-mail is included with the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Visalia City Council Page 22 of 23 Printed on 11/27/2024 powered by Legistar™512
File #: 24-0514 Agenda Date: 12/3/2024 Agenda #: 1.

Mitigated Negative Declaration. The e-mail is included with the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration, which can be viewed as part of Attachment 7. No other comments for the Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration where received.

CEQA Notice of Determination
During the public comment portion of the October 7, 2024, meeting of the Visalia City Council, members of the public alleged that the City staff had illegally filed a CEQA Notice of Determination (NOD) for CUP No. 2024-17 prior to its official approval date. City staff confirms that an NOD for the project was filed prematurely on September 26, 2024, under the determination that, while the project would return to the Planning Commission on October 14, 2024 (as a consent item), the project had for all intents and purposes been approved on September 23, 2024.

However, pursuant to Public Resources Code 21152(c), it has been determined that the NOD must be filed only when a final approval has been given, following the expiration of any appeal period or the processing of any appeal action. In this instance, the NOD will be refiled only if CUP No. 2024-17 is approved by the Visalia City Council at the December 3, 2024, appeal hearing, as the date of action taken by City Council would be considered the final approval date.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby adopts Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-26 (State Clearinghouse 2024080917) for Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17, which was prepared consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act and City of Visalia Environmental Guidelines.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Visalia approves the proposed conditional use permit based on the following specific findings and based on the evidence presented:

1. That the proposed project will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.

2. That the proposed conditional use permit is consistent with the policies and intent of the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the project is consistent with the required findings of Zoning Ordinance Section 17.38.110:
a. The proposed location of the conditional use permit is in accordance with the objectives of the Zoning Ordinance and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The proposed retail building and fast-food restaurant meeting all drive-thru performance standards are permitted uses “by right” within the C-R Zone. Ancillary uses conducted within the general retail store, such as 515
Resolution No. 2024-68
the sale of merchandise, groceries, tire sales & service (excluding major repairs), optical exams and sales, hearing aid testing and sales, fast food, specialty food (i.e. butcher), alcohol sales, and propane sales are all permitted as standalone or incidental uses in this zone. The service station and carwash uses are also permitted through approval of a CUP. All proposed uses identified in the site plan exhibit will be situated within an established shopping center and will be compatible with the surrounding commercial areas to the north and east which contain either fully developed and/or developing shopping centers (Packwood Shopping Center to the north, Oaks Marketplace to the east). Furthermore, the General Plan identifies the Regional Commercial designation as one which allows for “Shopping malls, large format, or “big box” retail” [and] “…supporting uses such as gas stations and hotels”. The uses proposed within the revised Commons at Visalia Parkway master planned commercial shopping center fit under the Regional Commercial land use designation.
b. The proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The General Plan identifies the Regional Commercial designation as one which allows for “Shopping malls, large format, or “big box” retail” [and] “…supporting uses such as gas stations and hotels”. The uses proposed within the revised Commons at Visalia Parkway master planned commercial shopping center fit under the Regional Commercial land use designation. The project is conditioned properly to ensure that all impacts have been properly mitigated.

3. That an Initial Study was prepared for the proposed project, consistent with CEQA, which disclosed that environmental impacts are determined to be not significant with mitigation, and therefore Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2024-26 (State Clearinghouse No. 2024080917) can be adopted for this project.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby denies the appeal and upholds the Planning Commission’s approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-17 on the real property hereinabove described in accordance with the terms of this resolution under the provisions of Section 17.38.110 of the Ordinance Code of the City of Visalia, subject to the following conditions:

It should be noted that Section 17.36.050 of the Visalia Municipal Code limits the height of commercial walls to 7-feet-in-height when located in a rear yard, such as the existing 7-foot-tall wall adjacent to the project site. As a result, the project applicant would be required to file for an Administrative Adjustment to permit the additional 1-foot of wall required for compliance. As an alternative, an 8-foot-tall masonry wall may be constructed adjacent to the existing 7-foot-tall wall (i.e., off the property line). 518

Final Narrative for Appeal of CUP 2024-17 / 2024-48
Introduction:

Westlake Village Mobile Home Park has been a fixture in our community for over 50 years, serving as a retirement oasis for more than 200 seniors who call it home. Nestled on a site that supports a variety of migratory wildlife, including Canadian geese, ducks, and turtles, the park is not only a sanctuary for its residents but also for the natural world. However, the peace and safety that Westlake Village residents have enjoyed for decades are now under threat due to the approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2024-17 for a large-scale gas station and commercial development in close proximity to this senior community.

While I, April Lancaster, am spearheading this appeal, and Anna Maier is the official appellant, this effort is being filed on behalf of the entire Westlake Village community.

Many of the seniors residing in the park have limited resources to advocate for themselves, but they have come together in concern for their health, safety, and quality of life. This appeal represents not just their voices, but the voices of all who care about responsible development and the preservation of the natural beauty and well-being of our community.

Dear Members of the City Council,
On behalf of the residents of Westlake Village, I am appealing the approval of Conditional Use Permit (CUP) 2024-17 / Revised Resolution 2024-48 for the proposed 28-pump gas station, Sam’s Club store, drive-through car wash, and drive-through restaurant. This project is located just 160 feet from senior housing, far closer than the recommended 300-foot setback. The attached appeal narrative and supporting exhibits will clearly demonstrate not only an error in the Planning Commission's discretion but also an abuse of that discretion. Furthermore, the evidence presented does not simply fail to support the Commission's decision—it directly contradicts it.

Error and Abuse of Discretion by the Planning Commission The Planning Commission had the authority to deny this application based on the failure to meet the 300-foot setback recommendation between the gas station and senior housing, yet they chose not to. Instead, the Consulting Firm and Planning department downplayed this guideline as a mere recommendation, overlooking the serious health risks posed to the neighboring senior community. By disregarding this crucial safety standard, they ignored a clear legal basis for denial.

Additionally, the emissions assessment conducted by JK Consulting Group LLC narrowly focused on fuel deliveries to the gas station, excluding significant portions 1 526
Final Narrative for Appeal of CUP 2024-17 / 2024-48
of the project, such as the Sam’s Club truck traffic, car wash operations, and restaurant drive-through emissions. The Commission's reliance on this incomplete assessment further exemplifies their failure to fully evaluate the project’s cumulative environmental impact.

Premature Notice of Determination and Insufficient Review The Notice of Determination was filed prematurely, raising concerns about the project's overall review. The development includes not only a 28-pump gas station but also a Sam’s Club store, a drive-through car wash, and a drive-through restaurant, all of which significantly contribute to environmental impacts. The lack of a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) means the cumulative effects of these elements have not been adequately assessed. The initial study narrowly focused on fuel deliveries, ignoring emissions from Sam’s Club’s truck traffic, car wash operations, and restaurant activities, all within close proximity to senior housing. A more comprehensive review would likely result in a much higher impact score than the current 8.6, warranting a detailed reassessment.

Health Risks from Benzene and Diesel Exhaust
The storage and combustion of gasoline at a large fueling station carries serious risks from benzene exposure, a known carcinogen. Diesel exhaust from both fuel deliveries and Sam’s Club truck traffic will exacerbate these risks. Diesel emissions contain particulate matter and other toxic substances known to worsen respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, placing seniors at grave risk. These emissions were not fully considered in the environmental review.

Visalia’s Duty to Protect Health and Safety Beyond Minimum Standards As a non-attainment city with some of the worst air quality in the nation, Visalia carries a heightened responsibility to protect residents' health and safety. Meeting minimum regulatory standards is insufficient. We must go beyond basic requirements to safeguard our most vulnerable populations, especially seniors living adjacent to this development. The Commission’s decision failed to take into account the cumulative health risks that go beyond minimum air quality regulations.

PM2.5 Pollution in an Already Vulnerable Community
Visalia’s PM2.5 levels are already higher than those in 96% of the nation, and the combined emissions from the gas station, Sam’s Club, car wash, and restaurant will only increase these levels. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can penetrate deep into the 2 527
Final Narrative for Appeal of CUP 2024-17 / 2024-48
lungs, worsening conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and heart disease—conditions that disproportionately affect seniors. The emissions from multiple project components were not accounted for in the Planning Commission’s review, a major oversight.

Failure to Follow CARB Recommendations and Legal Risks
This project also blatantly disregards the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Air Quality and Land Use Handbook, which recommends avoiding new sensitive land uses within 500 feet of freeways. The gas station, expected to sell more than 7.6 million gallons of gasoline and 1.2 million gallons of diesel annually, will expose residents to harmful levels of traffic-related pollution, compounded by its proximity to Highway

63. The Planning Commission's decision to ignore CARB’s guidelines not only endangers public health but also exposes the City and the developer to potential legal liability.

Failing to conduct a full EIR further increases the City’s legal vulnerability under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), particularly if residents suffer health conditions as a result of pollution exposure.

Insurability of Nearby Homes Under FHA Guidelines
The proximity of the proposed fueling station to residential properties, especially senior housing, poses a significant risk to the insurability of nearby homes under Federal Housing Administration (FHA) guidelines. According to FHA 4000.1 II.D.3.b.iii(C)(6)-(7), homes located near hazards such as gas stations may face additional scrutiny in the insurability assessment process.

The FHA guidelines clearly state that properties should not be located near "flammable or explosive materials" that pose a threat to safety, health, or property. A fueling station of this magnitude, projected to dispense over 7.6 million gallons of gasoline and 1.2 million gallons of diesel annually, qualifies as such a hazard. Without proper documentation ensuring the safety of the area, homes in the vicinity may face difficulty obtaining FHA insurance, making them less attractive to buyers and negatively impacting property values.

Conclusion: A Call for Full Environmental Review and Responsible Development
3 528
Final Narrative for Appeal of CUP 2024-17 / 2024-48
Given these factors, I urge the City Council to deny the permit approval until a full EIR is conducted. A comprehensive environmental review, including a thorough assessment of all emissions from the gas station, Sam’s Club, and associated traffic, is essential to protect public health. The City must reconsider the siting of this project, either relocating the gas station to a more suitable location or implementing robust health-protective measures.

By adhering to responsible urban planning practices and conducting the necessary reviews, we can avoid legal risks, protect our community, and ensure a healthy future for Visalia’s residents.

Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.

Re: Appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 2024- 17: (APNs: 121-620-004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 013, 014).

Dear Walmart Developers and Visalia City Planners:

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Visalia Sam’s Club warehouse/retail outlet project that is located on the Southwest corner of Mooney Boulevard and West Visalia Parkway. The project includes a car wash and a 28 pump gas station. It will undoubtedly be serviced by noisy air polluting diesel trucks. A fact noted by concerned neighbors. If the City of Visalia is serious about promoting cleaner air and community tranquility they should stipulate mitigation measures that call for EV battery recharging stations for electrified cars and trucks.

The 172,000 square foot retail building, car wash and fuel dispensing service station development offers a great opportunity to provide much needed electric vehicles (EV) charging stations for the driving public and the fleet of trucks that will service the facility.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS (GHG)
We believe the approval process has not adequately addressed Global warming. Which is the most serious issue that we as a species will ever have to face. Dr. James Hansen, Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies writes, “The stakes, for all life on the planet, surpass those of any previous crisis. The greatest danger is continued ignorance and denial, which could make tragic consequences unavoidable.” 585
2 The City should require a number of feasible GHG mitigation measures. These might include:
 In order to encourage the use of non-polluting electric vehicles, the City should require parking lots for this project to include dedicated EV parking and operational charging facilities. Including level 3 fast charging stations.  The project should also incorporate heavy duty EV truck charging stations. The investment in charging infrastructure facilities will promote and speed the transition to the clean energy trucking fleets of the future.  The roof tops of retail buildings, car washing facilities and fuel stations should be covered with photovoltaic cells to protect parked vehicles from the valley heat and to generate clean energy for the project.
 Customer and employee parking lots should be covered with solar canopies, so as to encourage employees to drive EVs that can be charged while they work; it should include level 2 EV charging facilities.
 A requirement that the developer contribute a GHG fee to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to be used to fund projects that would reduce GHG emissions elsewhere. This could be built into the criteria pollutant Developer Mitigation Agreement (DMA) as the Air District has suggested in the past.

Planners should implement these measures in order to require sufficient mitigation to substantially reduce the impact of the project on the climate crisis.

Please place the Sierra Club on the distribution list for the Sam’s Club Project to receive any noticing of meetings, hearings, availability of documents, and to receive any environmental documents. We prefer email communications and electronic formatting of documents. Thank you for your consideration and for the opportunity to comment.

Sincerely,

kimley-horn.com 1100 W Town and Country Road, Suite 700, Orange, CA 92868 714 939 1030 The project is estimated to generate 3,899 daily trips, 237 morning peak hour trips, and 270 evening peak hour trips on a weekday. The project is estimated to generate 3,943 daily trips, 268 morning peak hour trips, and 201 evening peak hour trips on a Saturday. Trip generation estimates for the proposed fueling positions are summarized on Table 3.

DRIVE-THROUGH ANALYSIS
A drive-through queueing analysis for the proposed fueling positions was conducted. The queueing analysis takes into consideration the potential impacts to the on-site circulation as a result of excessive queueing.

To determine the queue for the proposed project, the queueing analysis assumes that the queue at the pumps follows a multi-channel queueing model with Poisson arrival and exponential service times (M/M/C model). This allows for an average queue length to be forecasted.

The following equation was used and is applicable to calculate M/M/C queues. (݁ݑ݁ݑݍ ݅݊ & ݅ܿ݁ݒݎ݁ݏ ݅݊) ݁݉ݐݏݕݏ ݁ℎݐ ݅݊ ݏ݈݅ܿ݁ℎ݁ݒ ݂݋ ݎܾ݉݁ݑ݊ ܽ݃݁ݎ݁ݒܣ ܳ =

ܰ! ܰ
൤

ଶ
൨ Where ܲ଴ is the probability of not having a queue, ߩ is the utilization factor, and ܰ is the number of service channels.

The weekday evening peak hour trip generation for the Sam’s Fuel Visalia was chosen to represent the worst-case scenario. The drive-through generates the inbound trips as shown in Table 1, presented previously. All inbound project trips are expected to utilize the drive-through.

The service rate, μ, was calculated based on the assumption that a typical customer spends three and a half minutes at a fueling position. This fueling time can be used to calculate the service rate via the following equation.
= ݓ
ܳ + ߩ
ߣ
−
1 ߤ
Where ݓ is the average waiting time in queue and being served.

The results of the analysis are summarized in Table 4. Based on these calculations, the average queue that is anticipated at the drive-through would not exceed four vehicles at a given time. This assessment takes into consideration a worst-case trip generation estimate of 10 inbound trips per pump during the evening peak hour. The proposed drive-through aisles have approximately 110 feet of stacking distance behind the vehicle at the fuel pump, as shown on Figure 3. Assuming that a stationary vehicle occupies 20-25 feet of length, there is no queue anticipated to spill out into the parking lot drive aisle during normal conditions. While there is a potential for a longer queue to be experienced on a less frequent basis, the average queue would be accommodated by the available stacking distance. There is capacity for up to five vehicles behind the vehicle being serviced.

CONCLUSIONS
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. completed the traffic analysis for the proposed Sam’s Club Fuel Project located within the proposed Sam’s Club Fuel Center at southwest corner of W Visalia Parkway and S Mooney Boulevard in the City of Visalia. This traffic memorandum has been prepared to summarize the analysis results. Kimley-Horn has provided an assessment of traffic generated by the proposed project and of queueing within the drive-through component.

Daily and peak hour trips were estimated for the proposed project. The project is estimated to generate 3,899 daily trips, 237 morning peak hour trips, and 270 evening peak hour trips on a weekday. The project is estimated to generate 3,943 daily trips, 268 morning peak hour trips, and 201 evening peak hour trips on a Saturday.

Furthermore, the analysis included an assessment of projected queueing lengths at the fuel pump drive-through. The results of the analysis indicate that the queuing capacity currently proposed is adequate to accommodate the average queue lengths forecasted at the fuel pump drivethrough. 629
If you are in a high demand/high traffic situation at the fuel pumps, the process below can assist with safety and security.

Associate Staffing
o All associates working the area must be in company approved yellow safety vests o Minimum 2 associates working fuel station
▪ One trained and certified, working the pump area
▪ One (or more, based on needs) to work the line of cars o Welcome members and validate membership cards
o Communicate status of fuel
o Remind all members we do not accept cash for fuel
o Coordinate which pumps are open/operational and communicate to members Control the Flow
o Create queue line depending on the site differences
o Create one way in and one way out for ease of traffic flow o Funnel the exit to allow 2 cars wide to exit (preventing cars from entering the exit area) ▪ Use pallets or cones to create a traffic funnel
o Associates always wearing yellow vest and maintain control of line o Ensure the Fuel Station Associate has the club-use gas card for members who have membership card issues o If you have more than 50 cars in line, notify the MAPM. MAPM’s will direct 3rd Party Security requests to the Risk Mitigation Team for additional support.

Approved Containers
o Validate members are using approved containers only for fuel Monitor Tank Gauge
o At 1,500 gallons, we need to start communicating to all members in line that fuel is running low. ▪ You can allow approximately 20-25 additional vehicles to get fuel prior to closing (including vehicles & gas cans for generators)
o At 500 gallons, close the station and stop pumping.
o Running the tanks lower than 500 gallons brings the risk of overheating and destroying the tank motor, which would take the entire fuel station offline for several days. o If there are safety concerns with upset members, engage 3 rd Party Security personnel and/or
Management immediately. If there is a life safety concern, contact 911.

Out of Fuel
o Use pallets, cardboard bales, caution tape to block pumps o Create a sign and post it in an area that is very visible from the road to prevent traffic from entering.

Note: If a driver has waited in line but is not a member, do not turn them away. Use the club use gas card to initiate the transaction for them at the pump.

Subject: Drive-Through Queue Analysis
Proposed Car Wash in The Commons at Visalia Parkway
Southwest of the Intersection of Mooney Boulevard and Visalia Parkway Visalia, California
Dear Mr. Shehadey:

This report presents the results of limited traffic analyses for the subject project. The analysis focuses on the anticipated length of queues in the proposed car wash drive-through.

The proposed car wash building includes one wash tunnel and a total queue storage length of approximately 675 feet (storage for approximately 33 vehicles assuming an average storage length of 20 feet per vehicle). The car wash is expected to utilize an average chain speed of 150 vehicles per hour. The chain speed can be increased to 200 vehicles per hour during peak periods.

Data provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11 th Edition, were used to estimate the peak number of trips expected to be generated by the car wash. Table 1 presents the results of the trip generation calculations based on ITE Land Use 948, Automated Car Wash, using the data set with the greatest peak-hour trip generation rate per car wash tunnel.

Drive-Through Queue Analysis – Chick-Fil-A Restaurant June 21, 2024 The Commons at Visalia Parkway, Visalia, California Page 2 In queuing theory, an M/M/1 queue represents the queue length in a system having one server where arrivals follow a Poisson process and service times are exponentially distributed. The following formulas apply to the M/M/1 queue analyses:

N = λ
2 / (μ(μ - λ)) = I2/ (1-I)
P(N) = (1-I)IN
where:

N = the average number of vehicles in the queue
λ = the average number of vehicle arrivals per hour
μ = the average service rate in vehicles per hour
I = traffic intensity = λ / μ
P = the probability of the number of vehicles in the queue being N The trip generation analyses suggest that the Project will generate up to 39 trips per peak hour of the generator. Based on 39 vehicles per hour using the car wash with a service rate of 150 vehicles per hour, the average queue length in the drive through during the peak hour is calculated as approximately zero to one vehicle as follows:

N = λ
2 / (μ(μ - λ)) = 392/(150(150-39)) = 0.1 vehicles
The probability of the queue length containing a given number of vehicles is presented in Table 2.

The analyses suggest that the proposed car wash storage length is adequate to accommodate the anticipated queues.

In the event that queues are observed filling the three payment lanes, it is recommended that the proposed car wash implement a traffic action plan consisting of increasing the chain speed.

Subject: Drive-Through Queue Analysis
Proposed Chick-Fil-A Restaurant in The Commons at Visalia Parkway Southwest of the Intersection of Mooney Boulevard and Visalia Parkway Visalia, California
Dear Mr. Shehadey:

This report presents the results of limited traffic analyses for the subject project. The analysis focuses on the anticipated length of queues in the proposed Chick-Fil-A drivethrough.

The proposed Chick-Fil-A building covers approximately 5,588 square feet and includes two drive through lanes with a combined storage length of 706 feet (storage for approximately 35 vehicles assuming an average storage length of 20 feet per vehicle). Chick-Fil-A reports that 60 percent of sales are typically in the drive through. The drive through service rate for an established Chick-Fil-A restaurant is 150 vehicles per hour.

Data provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11 th Edition, were used to estimate the peak number of trips expected to be generated by the restaurant. Table 1 presents the results of the trip generation calculations based on ITE Land Use 934, Fast-Food Restaurant with Drive-Through Window, using the data sets for peak hour of generator on both weekdays and weekends. A comparison of Saturday and Sunday data revealed that Saturday peak hour of generator governs on the weekend. As discussed previously with the City of Visalia, the City recognizes Chick-Fil-A is above average in terms of trip generation, and the rate utilized is one standard deviation above the average.

Drive-Through Queue Analysis – Chick-Fil-A Restaurant June 21, 2024 The Commons at Visalia Parkway, Visalia, California Page 2 In queuing theory, an M/M/1 queue represents the queue length in a system having one server where arrivals follow a Poisson process and service times are exponentially distributed. The following formulas apply to the M/M/1 queue analyses:

N = λ
2 / (μ(μ - λ)) = I2/ (1-I)
P(N) = (1-I)IN
where:

N = the average number of vehicles in the queue
λ = the average number of vehicle arrivals per hour
μ = the average service rate in vehicles per hour
I = traffic intensity = λ / μ
P = the probability of the number of vehicles in the queue being N The trip generation analyses suggest that the Project will generate up to 228 trips per peak hour of the generator, and it is estimated that approximately 60 percent of those will use the drive through (approximately 137 drive through trips per peak hour).

Based on 137 vehicles per hour using the drive through with a service rate of 150 vehicles per hour and assuming one server, the average queue length in the drive through during the peak hour is calculated as approximately 10 vehicles as follows:

N = λ2/ (μ(μ - λ)) = 1372/(150(150-137)) = 9.6 vehicles The probability of the queue length containing a given number of vehicles is presented in Table 2.

The analyses suggest that the proposed drive-through storage length is adequate to accommodate the 96th-percentile queue during the maximum peak hour of the generator, which is likely to occur on a Saturday. In other words, the probability that the queue would exceed the storage capacity at any time during the restaurant’s maximum peak hour is less than four percent.

Drive-Through Queue Analysis – Chick-Fil-A Restaurant June 21, 2024 The Commons at Visalia Parkway, Visalia, California Page 4 It is recommended that the proposed Chick-Fil-A implement a traffic action plan as described below.

1. For typical service (non-peak), guests will place their order at the menu boards, then pull forward to pay and have food delivered at the order delivery window.

2. As traffic increases, Chick-Fil-A will add two team members (employees) to take orders electronically from vehicles in the drive-through lanes in advance of the order boards. This will allow meal assembly to begin earlier in the drive-through process.

3. As traffic increases, Chick-Fil-A will add another team member to the drive-through to take payments ahead of the meal delivery window.

4. At peak service time, full deployment of upstream meal delivery in the drive-through queue will take place. This includes team members taking orders and payments ahead of the menu board location and delivery window. Meal delivery would continue to occur at the delivery window, as well additional team members delivering food upstream in the drive-through queue (prior to the delivery window) to help expedite service and throughput.

5. At any time during either typical service or peak service times, vehicles that arrive at the delivery window may be asked to pull into a parking stall if it is anticipated that the delivery would be delayed. A team member would deliver the meal to the parked vehicle.

Thank you for the opportunity to perform these analyses. Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.

Subject: SWC W Visalia Parkway & S Mooney Boulevard – Noise Study Revisions Dear Derek,
Bollard Acoustical Consultants, Inc. (BAC) completed a noise assessment for the SWC W Visalia Parkway & S Mooney Boulevard project in July 2024. It was brought to attention of BAC in October/November 2024 that revisions were made to the traffic memorandum previously prepared for the project by Kimley-Horn (Traffic Memorandum for the Proposed Sam’s Fuel Project in the City of Visalia). In response to those revisions, BAC has conducted a re-analysis of project noise level exposure based on revisions contained in the Kimley-Horn traffic memorandum. The following BAC memorandum contains noise impact discussions associated with the revised Kimley-Horn traffic memorandum.

It should be noted that the function of this memorandum is to supplement the noise assessment previously prepared by BAC in July 2024. For the purposes of this memorandum, that assessment will be reference as the 2024 BAC Noise Study.

Summary of 2024 BAC Noise Study Impact Discussions & Warranted Revisions The 2024 BAC Noise Study contains a section titled “Noise Impacts Associated with Project On-Site Operations”. The section includes impact discussions for primary on-site site operations noise sources associated with the project consisting of on-site truck circulation, truck delivery activities, parking area movements, rooftop mechanical equipment (HVAC), car wash drying assembly equipment, and car wash vacuum equipment. These impact discussions are contained in Impacts 2-7 of the 2024 BAC Noise Study. Impact 8 of the 2024 BAC Noise Study contains a discussion on cumulative (combined) project on-site operations noise generation.

After a review of the revised Kimely-Horn traffic memorandum, and revised site design included in that document, it was determined by BAC that the changes identified in the documentation would affect the analysis and associated results contained in the parking movements and cumulative project on-site operations noise impact discussions of the 2024 BAC Noise Study. Further, after a review of a traffic circulation diagram contained in the 639
