Woodlake City Council
June 10, 2024

Discussion: Of the last three tax credit projects processed in Woodlake, about 10 percent of the units were affordable to extremely low-income households.

This type of housing product is the most effective means of providing affordable housing for this income group. About 20 percent of these units contained three or more bedrooms. This feature provided housing for large family households.

Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 7 and as Housing Plan Program 11 as part of an umbrella affordable housing program and housing for
special needs program with revised actions and objectives. 382

Program Description and Objectives Progress and Continued Appropriateness

12. Affordable
Housing Stock
Woodlake’s existing affordable housing stock is a valuable resource and the element includes programs to conserve and improve this affordable housing stock. Improvement includes programs that enhance existing housing stock using rehabilitation strategies. Conservation includes maintenance, such as code enforcement in deteriorating buildings, or in response to improvements to the housing stock such as weatherization programs that helps reduce housing costs.

The City of Woodlake shall facilitate residential development in Woodlake that is well designed and maintained, attractive and affordable. Affordable housing will be accomplished through increased unit densities; attractive design through architectural review and the city’s site plan review process, requiring conditions such as maintenance through a landscaping and lighting district.

Approximately 20 units were preserved or rehabilitated
during the 5th housing cycle. Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over as Housing Plan Program 10 into the next housing cycle as a housing rehabilitation program with revised actions and
objectives.

13. CDBG Rehab
Funds
The City will continue to identify dilapidated housing units in Woodlake that require demolition. The City will notify the property owner of this requirement.

Once the lot is vacant, the city will work with the property owner to facilitate the construction of a new residential unit on the lot. The City, as in the past, will work with Self-Help Enterprises to utilize HELP funds to construct single family homes that are affordable to low- and moderate-income households.

Woodlake will continue to annually apply for CDBG funds for rehabilitation of housing in Woodlake. The City will contract with Self-Help Enterprises to provide this service. From 2008 to 2015, Self-Help Enterprises rehabilitated 76 substandard single family dwellings. During the planning period, Woodlake working with Self-Help will rehabilitate six dwellings per year.

Discussion: Self-Help prepares a list of potential clients by speaking to families in target neighborhoods about the benefits of working with Self-Help Enterprises for rehabilitation services. Self-Help can provide low-interest loans as well as qualified contractors that have extensive experience in rehabilitation construction.

Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 10 as a code enforcement program with
revised actions and objectives.

14. Smart Growth
Zoning District
The City of Woodlake shall continue to work on preparation and adopt a Smart Growth Zoning District. This district could be applied to any property zoned residential in Woodlake.

The Smart Growth Zoning District has been removed.

Therefore, this program will not be continued into the 6th housing cycle.

15. Code
Enforcement
Woodlake will continue to employ a code enforcement officer in its police department who will ensure that neighborhoods are free of blight, including abandoned cars, weed infested lots, and dwellings that accumulate junk and debris. The Officer will inspect 10 sites per week.

This program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 10, a housing rehabilitation program with revised actions and objectives.

16. Preserve Units
At-Risk of
Conversion to
Market Rate
Use
The nature of conversion risk varies significantly among projects depending on the type of subsidy and related affordability controls. During the previous Housing Element cycle (4th), 128 affordable apartment units have been constructed in Woodlake, each utilizing different types of financing - Section 515, HOME and tax credits. Each of these projects have different long-term affordability requirements. The City monitors these complexes to ensure that they do not get converted to market-rate units. To date, there have been no conversions to market-rate housing. The City will continue to utilize different types of financing options to preserve affordable housing within Woodlake.

Woodlake has not experienced a significant increase in Section 8 units over the last 8 years. To improve on this trend, Woodlake has been working with private contractors to construct single family homes on infill lots that have previously contained a dilapidated home that has been demolished. These units can become Section 8 units so long as they receive certification from the Housing Authority.

The City will work with local contractors to construct or rehabilitate single family homes that can be made available for Section 8 households. Woodlake will work to increase the number of Section 8 units in Woodlake by two units per year over the planning period.

Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 9 to monitor and preserve at-risk housing
units, as needed.

17. Rehabilitate
Homes
The Woodlake Redevelopment Agency will work with the Tulare County Housing Authority to work with households that are displaced by owners of Section 8 units that opt-out of the program. The Agency will use some of its CDBG funds to rehabilitate homes that can be made available for Section 8 housing. The Agency will rehabilitate one potential Section 8 unit per year during the planning period.

Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as program as Housing Plan Program 9 to provide tenant support and to monitor and preserve at-risk housing units, as needed.

18. At-Risk
Properties
The City of Woodlake will preserve all existing units in the at-risk properties.

Woodlake will monitor, every year, the status of any HUD receipt/approval of Notices of Intent and Plans of Action filed by property owners to convert to market-rate units.

This program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 9 to preserve existing atrisk units, as needed.

19. Section 8
Waiting List
The City of Woodlake will assist tenants of existing rent restricted units to obtain priority status on Section 8 waiting lists. Presently, Woodlake has 30 Section 8 units in the community. The City will also provide tenants in at-risk projects information regarding Section 8 rent subsidies through the Tulare County Housing Authority, and other affordable housing opportunities in the City.

This program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 9 as part of an umbrella
program for tenant support and to monitor at-risk units. 384

20. Governmental
Constraints
Woodlake’s choice of programs reflects the results of its housing need analyses, identification of available resources including land and financing, and the mitigation of identified governmental and non-governmental constraints.

The Woodlake Planning Department shall amend its Zoning Ordinance to add a Smart Development zone district, which will provide greater design flexibility and/or densities so as to encourage more affordable housing. This zone district will employ numerous design standards that will encourage higher residential densities, more sustainable design, and energy and water conservation.

Features that will be included in this new district are zero lot line opportunities, low impact development, xerophytic landscaping, reduced turf area, parkways and street trees, and reduced setbacks and street widths.

The City has utilized Planned Development districts/
permitting in lieu of Smart Growth. This program will be revised and carried over to the next housing cycle as
Housing Plan Program 6 part of an umbrella program to
reduce and mitigate constraints and Housing Plan
Program 13 to promote energy conservation.

21. Development
Impact Fees
The City of Woodlake will reduce development impact feeds, excluding school impact fees, if the project is a single family residential infill project, or a downtown mixed-use project that includes an affordable residential component.

Since the City fees are the lowest in the area, no changes occurred. The City has also partnered with the school
district to encourage low impact fees to reduce the
fees/permitting costs for new development. This program will be carried over to the next housing cycle as part of an umbrella program to reduce constraints to housing
development.

22. Planning
Services
The City of Woodlake contracts with Planning Consultants to provide planning services for the community. All planning projects are streamlined from submittal of the application to the final decision-making step. It is the role of the consulting firm to ensure that the design of the project meets good urban design standards and that the project is processed in an expeditious manner.

The consulting firm is responsible for all matters pertaining to the processing of the project, including public hearing notices, staff reports, resolutions/ordinances, environmental documents, and presentations before the Commission and City Council.

This program will be carried over to the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 6 and Housing Plan Program 7 as part of umbrella programs to streamline housing
development and reduce constraints.

23. State Licensed
Group Homes
The City of Woodlake will continue to process State licensed group homes administratively. To date, the processing of this type of home can be completed in about two weeks.

This program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 6 to support development
of group homes and reduce constraints to their
development, with attention to recent State legislation concerning group homes.

24. Fair Housing Fair Housing laws make it illegal to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, ancestry, marital status, sexual orientation, source of income and age in the rental or sale, financing, advertising, appraisal, provision of real estate brokerage services, etc., and land-use practices. Government Code Section 65008 also expressly prohibits localities from discriminating against residential development or emergency shelters if the intended occupants are low-income or if the development is subsidized.

In Woodlake’s housing element, a local equal housing opportunity program must provide a means for the resolution of local housing discrimination complaints and should include a program to disseminate fair housing information and information about resources throughout the community.

Woodlake will work with Tulare County Housing Authority to provide a local Fair Housing Information Program. This Program will distribute educational materials to property owners, apartment managers, and tenants, and it will respond to complaints of discrimination (i.e., in-taking, investigation of complaints, and resolution) by referring the affected party to the appropriate agencies. The City of Woodlake will also make this information readily available at City Hall and will be displayed on the City website.

A local Fair Housing Information Program is provided at City Hall. Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle with revised objectives to increase awareness of fair
housing resources as Housing Plan Program 15.

25. Foreclosure
Counseling
Program
The City will continue partnering with Self-Help Enterprises for Foreclosure Counseling. Self-Help Enterprises is a HUD-approved counseling agency. To preserve families in the community and stabilize neighborhoods, Self-Help offers free counseling services to assist homeowners in preserving homeownership, preventing foreclosure and to help families get through the difficult transition period if keeping their home is not an option. Self-Help Foreclosure Counselors provide homeowners with accurate information allowing them to make good choices and help themselves through their problems. Self-Help Enterprises also provides access to an attorney to discuss options related to home preservation. This consultation is free and done over the telephone. During the consultation, homeowners learn valuable information helping them make the best decision about their home and finances.

The City coordinates with Self-Help Enterprises to provide free foreclosure counseling to residents.

This program will be refined and carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 11 to support
neighborhood stabilization through homeownership
counseling services.

26. Lot
Consolidation
The City will encourage lot consolidation when smaller, underutilized parcels adjacent to each other are redeveloped. Staff will work with applicants on a preliminary basis for no cost prior to application submittal. The lot consolidation procedure will be posted on the City website and discussed with developer during the informal review process. The City will continue its sliding scale density that allows higher density with consolidation of lots in the R3 and R2 zoning district.
 Encourage lot consolidation of smaller parcels to accommodate projects to provide a minimum of 16 units per project.
 Provide incentives and entitlement assistance, when feasible.  Promote use of density bonus to increase maximum density of potential projects.

This program will be revised and carried over into the
next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 7 to facilitate the development of affordable housing.

27. Consistency
with General
Plan
The City’s Planning department will review the 5th Cycle Housing Element (this document) to ensure consistency with the City’s General Plan.

This is a regular function of City staff and a mandatory component of Housing Element law; therefore, this
program will be eliminated.

28. Zoning
Ordinances
Amendments
The City will amend the Zoning Ordinance for the following programs:
 Providing sewer and water as a priority to new affordable housing projects.  The Zoning Ordinance will also be amended to show the City’s involvement with the San Joaquin Valley Fair Housing & Equity Assessment.  The City’s Zoning Ordinance will include updated policies for the current fire and flood hazard management standards (GC Section 65302(g)).  The City’s Zoning Ordinance will include disadvantaged communities outside of City limits, within the sphere of influence in the updated policies for fire and flood hazard management standards.

The Zoning Ordinance was not amended to adopt a policy
to prioritize water and sewer to affordable housing
projects pursuant to SB 1087. This program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 2 to support compliance with recent state laws and to
reduce constraints to housing development.

29. Fast-Track
Permit
The City will provide “fast track” permit processing for housing developments affordable to lower income households and other priority housing needs, such as projects for extremely low-income households, large families, persons with disabilities and farmworkers.

Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 7 to accelerate lower-income development
for special groups, with revised monitoring actions that track fast-tracking permits for affordable housing
developments and affordable housing developments for
special groups.

30. Outreach
Program
The City of Woodlake will work with the Central Valley Regional Center to implement an outreach program that informs families within the City on housing and services available for persons with developmental disabilities. The program could include the development of an informational brochure, including information on services on the City’s website, and providing housing-related training for individuals/families through workshops.

Due to the ongoing nature of this program, this program will be carried over into the next housing cycle as Housing Plan Program 7 as part of an umbrella fair housing
program for persons living with disabilities, with revised actions and objectives.

Program 2: Adequate Sites for RHNA and Monitoring of No Net Loss For the 6th cycle Housing Element, Woodlake has been assigned a RHNA of 492 units, including:
 Very Low-Income: 73 units
 Low-Income: 47 units
 Moderate-Income: 103 units
 Above Moderate-Income: 267 units
The City is committed to ensuring that adequate sites at appropriate densities remain available during the planning period, as required by law. The City has identified capacity for 626 units through ten projects under construction, approved, or permitted, that will be available during the planning period.

Accounting for these units (136 very low, 259 low, 142 moderate, and 89 above moderate), the City has a remaining RHNA of 178 units (all above moderate-income) units for which the City must identify adequate sites for potential development.
392
City of Woodlake
Housing Plan
2023-2031 Housing Element G7-5
The City has identified vacant and nonvacant sites with potential for development/redevelopment, or adaptive reuse of existing uses over the next eight years. All sites identified to meet the City’s RHNA are zoned for residential uses and would not require rezoning. The sites identified can accommodate an additional 412 units, including 90 lower income units, 62 moderate income units, and 266 above moderate-income units.

To ensure that the City complies with SB 166 (No Net Loss), staff will monitor the consumption of residential and mixed-use acreage to ensure an adequate inventory is available to meet RHNA obligations. To ensure sufficient residential capacity is maintained to accommodate the RHNA, the City will develop and implement a formal ongoing (project-by-project) evaluation procedure pursuant to Government Code Section 65863. Should an approval of development result in a reduction in capacity below the residential capacity needed to accommodate the remaining need for lower- and moderateincome households, the City will identify and if necessary, rezone sufficient sites to accommodate the shortfall and ensure “no net loss” in capacity to accommodate the RHNA.

The City of Woodlake is the provider of water and sewer services within the city limits. The City confirms that adequate water and sewer services are available to fully accommodate the RHNA.

The City has not adopted a policy to prioritize the allocation of water/sewer services to affordable housing projects pursuant to SB 1087.

Specific Actions, Objectives and Timelines  Facilitate the development of 492 units over 8 years (75 very lowincome, 47 low-income, 103 moderate-income, and 267 above moderate-income units).
 Maintain an inventory of available vacant and prospective sites that can accommodate new housing and update annually. Make this inventory available to the public and interested developers on the City website.  Annually meet with property owners and interested developers to pursue housing development in the city.
 By December 31, 2024, develop a formal procedure to monitor no net loss in capacity pursuant to SB 166.
 By December 31, 2026, complete update to Water and Sewer Master Plans.
 By December 31, 2024, adopt a policy to prioritize allocation of water and sewer services to affordable housing projects (SB 1087).

Program 3: By-Right Approval
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2, reusing the following types of sites in the City’s site inventory for lower-income RHNA are subject to by-right approval exempt from CEQA and subject only to design review based on objective standards when a project includes 20 percent of the units affordable to lower-income households and no subdivision is proposed:
393
Tulare County Association of Governments
Tulare County Regional Housing Element
G7-6
Reuse Sites (No Rezoning Required):
 Vacant sites that were identified in the City’s 4th and 5th cycles Housing Element as sites for lowerincome RHNA; and  Nonvacant sites that were identified in the City’s 5th cycle Housing Element as sites for lower-income RHNA.

The by-right approval requirement of reuse sites is effective December 31, 2023. Rezoning of sites past the statutory deadline of the Housing Element to meet the lower income RHNA are subject to the byright approval requirement. The by-right approval requirement of rezone sites is triggered by the rezoning.

By-right shall mean the local government’s review shall not require:
 A conditional -use permit
 A planned unit development permit
 Other discretionary, local-government review or approval that would constitute a “project” as defined in Section 21100 of the Public Resources Code.

This provision does not preclude local planning agencies from imposing design review standards.

However, the review and approval process must remain ministerial, and the design review must not constitute a “project” as defined in Section 21100 of the Public Resources Code.

Parcels that are subject to by-right approval pursuant to state law are identified in Table G4-47 in Chapter G4, Housing Resources.

Specific Actions, Objectives and Timelines  By December 31, 2024, concurrent with the Development Code update to provide adequate sites for the RHNA (see Program 2), update the Development Code to address the by-right approval requirements. The zoning code will be amended to address the by right approval requirements for lower-income sites included in the site inventory with a proposed zoning change, as well as vacant sites identified in two previous housing elements and non-vacant sites identified in the previous housing element and annexation sites, in compliance with Government Code Section 65583.2(h) and (i), to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right (without discretionary approval) for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households.
 By 2026, bring item to City Council to consider expanding the scope of streamlining, including:
 For sites not subject to Section 65583.2 - projects that include 20 percent of the units affordable to homeowners at 60 percent AMI or to renters at 50 percent AMI.

Action: Adoption of Resolution: Approval of the Landscape and Lighting Assessments for Parkwood, Gentle Hills Estates, Olive Estates, Castle Rock, Olive Vista, Castle Rock Phase II, Valencia Heights, Castle Rock Phase III, Hillside Estates, and Greenwood Phase I & II Landscape and Lighting Districts - PUBLIC HEARING
BACKGROUND:

The City Council approved the City Engineer’s report of costs needed to maintain the following assessment districts: Parkwood, Gentle Hills, Olive Estates, Castle Rock, Olive Vista, Castle Rock Phase II, Valencia Heights, Castle Rock Phase III, Hillside Estates, and Greenwood Phase I & II. As part of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, a public hearing date has been set for those wishing to comment on each individual assessment district. All assessment district property owners were notified of the public hearing date and location.

DISCUSSION:

The individual engineer’s reports, for each assessment district, break down the costs necessary to maintain each district. The costs have not changed from the previous year.

The assessment allows for maintenance of grounds and lights plus incidental costs such as administration and engineering. The costs will not be increased from the previous year for existing Districts.

The costs for each individual property owner are as follows:

Castle Rock: $171.00
Castle Rock Phase II: $177.50
Castle Rock Phase III: $206.78
Gentle Hills Estates: $198.40
Greenwood Phase I & II: $184.96
Hillside Estates: $308.00
Olive Estates: $172.44
Olive Vista: $200.00
Parkwood: $197.50
Valencia Heights: $102.86
RECOMMENDATIONS:

That the City Council approves the assessed costs to all assessment district property owners and allows for the continuous maintenance of the above-mentioned districts. 521
FISCAL IMPACT:

The assessed amounts are enough to cover all expenditures by the City of Woodlake and should not affect the General Fund.

SUBJECT:

Action: Adoption of Resolution: Selection of the City of Woodlake City Council’s Choice to be the Transit Representative on the Tulare County Association of Government’s Board of Directors
BACKGROUND:

The Tulare County Association of Governments(TCAG) is required to have a member that represents transit agencies and riders on the Board. The TCAG Board generally meets on the third Monday of each month at 1 p.m. at various locations around the County. Voting members are expected to attend the meetings on a regular basis, and to notify their alternate, and the TCAG Executive Director, in a timely manner if they are not able to attend. In addition to the TCAG meetings, the Transit Representative is expected to attend the Tulare County Regional Transit Agency meetings as an Ad-hoc (non-voting member), attend the Cal Van’s meetings, Transit forum, and the SStac quarterly meeting. Some months, this could result in five meetings for the Transit Representative to attend. Meeting dates and times can vary periodically, and there can be an annual retreat, special meetings or opportunities to travel representing TCAG.

The Tulare County Council of Cities (COC) put out a call for nominations to fill a full term as the Transit Representative. This is a three year term, from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027. All cities in the County were provided the opportunity to nominate an elected official for this position.

The following elected official nominations were received (listed in alphabetical order as prescribed by the attached appointment process adopted as amended in 2018):
*Jose Sigala – City of Tulare
*Liz Wynn – City of Visalia
Each City Council is asked to select the elected official they would like to serve as the Transit Representative on the TCAG Board. Each Council’s selection should be forwarded to the Clerk of the COC Board, Maria Ruiz Ibarra, [email protected] no later than Friday, June 24, 2022 by 5 p.m.

Per the policy, the elected official receiving the highest number of votes will be recommended as the member; the person with the second highest number of votes will have the opportunity to serve as the Transit alternate on the Board. (See attached policy for provisions in case of a tie, etc.) 533
DISCUSSION:

It is recommended that the Woodlake City Council select one of the nominees from the cities in Tulare County to serve as the Transit Representative to the Tulare County Association of Governments from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027. Names listed below in alphabetical order by last name:

SUBJECT:

Action: Adoption of Resolution: Approval of the Landscape and Lighting Assessments for the Kaweah View Homes Subdivision and Lighting Assessment District 22-01. - PUBLIC

HEARING
BACKGROUND:

An application was submitted for the formation of the Kaweah View Homes Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 22-01 by the Developer Kaweah View, Inc. The subdivision will consist of twenty-five residential units. The assessment district will consist of 10 feet from the face of curb to the property line along Lot 1, 9-13, and 22-2. The landscaping and lighting assessment district will consist of four landscaping strips that will be maintained by the City.

At the May 13, 2024, City Council meeting, the City Council approved the City Engineer’s report of costs needed to maintain the assessment district and on May 13, 2024, initiated the District. As part of the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972, over 50% of the property owners voted in favor of the Kaweah View Homes Subdivision Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 22-01. Council set June 10, 2024, as the public hearing date for those wishing to comment on the assessment district. All assessment district property owners were notified of the public hearing date and location.

DISCUSSION:

All properties comprising the Kaweah View Homes Subdivision District 22-01 have been entered into the District by the Developer of the Tract, or the owner of the parcel, as per the ‘Conditions of Approval” for recordation of the Tract, and per the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972.

The twenty-five properties comprising the Subdivision have all been found to benefit from landscaping, street lighting, park space and therefore are to be assessed for their proportionate share of the costs incurred by those benefits. The annual cost for each individual property owner will be $151.20 as determined by the Engineer’s Report.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

That the City Council approves the formation of the Kaweah View Homes Landscape and Lighting Assessment District 22-01 and assesses the costs to all district property owners and allows for the continuous maintenance of the above-mentioned district. 538
FISCAL IMPACT:

The assessed amounts are sufficient to cover all expenditures by the City of Woodlake and will not affect the general fund.

METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF ASSESSMENT

KAWEAH AVENUE SUBDIVISION
(Lots 1 through 25, inclusive)
The method of apportionment of assessment is as follows:
100% of the cost of estimated maintenance, repair, replacement, operation, engineering, administration, and incidentals is divided on a proportional basis for the 10 feet from face of curb to the property line along Lots 1, 9-13, and 22-25 as shown on Exhibit “E” within the subdivision within the assessment district. Lots are assessed a proportional share at time of Final Map recordation. Duration of Assessments and Inflation Increases: The duration of the assessments to be levied on all parcels of land within the Assessment District, as identified in the report, is perpetual. For each year following the first year of the assessment, the amounts of the assessments designated in the assessment roll may be increased annually, without further notice or ballot to property owners, by an amount equal to the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Los Angeles / Anaheim / Riverside (or in the event such index is not published, any successor index which is used in similar industries) provided by the U.S.

Department of Labor (Bureau of Labor Statistics); provided that the maximum increase shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the estimated increase in cost to the City, or (ii) four percent (4%). The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be calculated from the calendar year (January 1 – December 31) just prior to the assessment period affected (July 1 – June 30). The benchmark CPI to be used in this calculation shall include all items of the index, including food and energy items. 548

AGENDA ITEM V-H
June 10, 2024
Prepared by Emmanuel Llamas, City Staff
SUBJECT:

Action: Adoption of Resolution: Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements project.

BACKGROUND:

The City of Woodlake applied for ATP Cycle 6 funding for the construction of the West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements Project. The project will directly link to the improvements that were established through ATP Cycle 4 on North Valencia Blvd. The Engineering Design Services contract was awarded to 4Creeks in October 2023.

The proposed project site is located within the City of Woodlake. The project would affect approximately 8.18 acres within existing and future City ROW and temporary construction easement areas along West Sequoia Avenue. The Project seeks to enhance safety and accessibility along west Sequoia Avenue in Woodlake by developing a 0.79-mile active transportation network. This will include a 0.49-mile stretch of ADA-compliant pedestrian and bicycle facilities, featuring 15 crosswalks, 21 streetlights, a Class IV bikeway, and extensive signage. Beginning west of West Sequoia Avenue and Valencia Boulevard to Mulberry Street, the plan also entails slight extensions into adjacent north/south streets. Necessary ROW acquisitions will support minor property encroachments. Construction will involve demolishing and rebuilding sections of the road, installing an irrigation system, relocating utility poles, and managing traffic with detours or lane closures.

DISCUSSION:

The project is not anticipated to have any long-term negative environmental impacts. Short-term construction related potential impacts will be mitigated to a less than significant level by use of proper construction methods and timing.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

City staff recommends that the Council approves and adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact to the General Fund.

ATTACHMENTS:

1. Attachment No. 1 – Notice of Exemption

2. Resolution: Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements project.

SECTION 1
CEQA Review Process
Project Title: West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements

1.1 California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines
Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines requires that the Lead Agency prepare an Initial Study to determine whether a discretionary project will significantly affect the environment. All phases of the project planning, implementation, and operation must be considered in the Initial Study. The purposes of an Initial Study, as listed under Section 15063(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, include:
(1) Provide the lead agency with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or negative declaration;
(2) Enable an applicant or lead agency to modify a project, mitigating adverse impacts before an EIR is prepared, thereby enabling the project to qualify for a negative declaration;
(3) Assist the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, by:
(a) Focusing the EIR on the effects determined to be significant, (b) Identifying the effects determined not to be significant, (c) Explaining the reasons for determining that potentially significant effects would not be significant, and
(d) Identifying whether a program EIR, tiering, or another appropriate process can be used for analysis of the project’s environmental effects. (4) Facilitate environmental assessment early in the design of a project; (5) Provide documentation of the factual basis for the finding in a negative declaration that a project will not have a significant effect on the environment; (6) Eliminate unnecessary EIRs;
(7) Determine whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project.

1.2 Initial Study
The Initial Study provided herein covers the potential environmental effects of the proposed improvements to West Sequoia Avenue in Woodlake, California. The Project is located in the northwest portion of the City of Woodlake and within the City’s Sphere of Influence. The City of 1-2
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Woodlake will act as the Lead Agency for this Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.

1.3 Environmental Checklist
The Lead Agency may use the CEQA Environmental Checklist Form [CEQA Guidelines, Section 15063(d)(3) and (f)] in preparation of an Initial Study to provide information for determining if there are significant effects of the Project on the environment. A copy of the completed Environmental Checklist is outlined in Section Three.

1.4 Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration/Notice of Preparation The Lead Agency shall provide a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15072) to the public, responsible agencies, trustee agencies, and the County Clerk within which the Project is located, sufficiently prior to adoption by the Lead Agency of the Negative Declaration to allow the public and agencies the review period. The public review period (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15105) shall not be less than 30 days when the Initial Study/Negative Declaration is submitted to the State Clearinghouse unless a shorter period, not less than 20 days, is approved by the State Clearinghouse.

Before approving the Project, the Lead Agency shall consider the proposed Negative Declaration and any comments received during the public review process. It shall adopt the proposed Negative Declaration only if it finds, based on the whole record before it, that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will significantly affect the environment and that the Negative Declaration reflects the Lead Agency’s independent judgment and analysis.

The written and oral comments received during the public review period will be considered by The City of Woodlake before adopting the Negative Declaration. Regardless of the type of CEQA document that must be prepared, the overall purpose of the CEQA process is to:
1) Assure that the environment and public health and safety are protected in the face of discretionary projects initiated by public agencies or private concerns; 2) Provide for full disclosure of the project’s environmental effects to the public, the agency decision-makers who will approve or deny the project, and the responsible trustee agencies charged with managing resources (e.g. wildlife, air quality) that may be affected by the project; and
3) Provide a forum for public participation in the decision-making process pertaining to potential environmental effects.

According to Section 15070(a), a public agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed negative declaration for a project subject to CEQA when:
1-3
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 “The initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. Less than significant impacts with mitigation measures have been identified.”
The Environmental Checklist Discussion contained in Section Three of this document has determined that the Project's environmental impacts are less than significant with mitigation measures and that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is adequate for adoption by the Lead Agency.

1.5 Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration The Lead Agency shall prepare or have prepared a proposed Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQA Guidelines Section 15070) for a project subject to CEQA when the Initial Study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration circulated for public review shall include the following:
(a) A brief description of the project, including a commonly used name for the project. (b) The location of the project, preferably shown on a map. (c) A proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
(d) An attached copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the finding. (e) Mitigation measures, if any.

1.6 Intended Uses of Initial Study/Negative Declaration Documents The Initial Study/Negative Declaration document is an informational document intended to inform decision-makers, other responsible or interested agencies, and the general public of the potential environmental effects of the proposed project. The environmental review process has been established to enable public agencies to evaluate environmental consequences and examine and implement methods to eliminate or reduce any adverse impacts. While CEQA requires consideration to avoid environmental damage, the Lead Agency must balance any potential environmental effects against other public objectives, including economic and social goals. The City of Woodlake, as the Lead Agency, will decide, based on the environmental review for the Environmental Study, Initial Study, and comments from the general public, if there are less than significant impacts from the proposed Project and the requirements of CEQA can be met by adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. 1-4

Project Description
Project Title: West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements

2.1 Project Description & Purpose
The Project aims to improve the safety and ease of alternative modes of transportation by creating a continuous active transportation network along West Sequoia Avenue, which will close a critical pathway gap along a primary route used by students, families and seniors who walk and bike to local destinations. The Project proposes bicycle and pedestrian facilities, which will include ADA-compliant ramps, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, 15 crosswalks, 21 streetlights, a Class IV bikeway, and signage along a portion of Sequoia Avenue in the City of Woodlake.

The Project will span approximately 0.79 miles, but the proposed pedestrian and bicycle improvements will total approximately 0.49 miles, starting west of the intersection of West Sequoia Avenue and Valencia Boulevard (State Route 245) to Mulberry Street, with improvements extending into portions of the north/south cross streets. The Project will provide a continuous active transportation network along Sequoia Avenue by closing a critical pathway gap along the primary route used by students, families, and seniors who walk and bike to facilities in the area. The Project will benefit all residents in the area, as these improvements will provide a safe, well-lit, accessible, and protected route along Sequoia Avenue.

The total Project area will cover approximately 8.18 acres, the majority of which will occur within the immediate Public ROW. The Project will include minor encroachments on adjacent properties, so ROW acquisition will be required to accommodate the proposed design.

Equipment staging will be provided within the temporary construction easement areas. These facilities will be established in accordance with the City Standard Specifications and the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). Construction activities will include demolition of existing asphalt, sidewalk, and curbs where needed, adding aggregate base and pavement placement, installation of an irrigation system for landscaping, streetlight installation, and utility pole relocation. Roadway detours and/or lane closures may be used to control traffic during construction. Maps showing the Project layout and regional location are provided in Figures 2- 1, 2-2, and 2-3. Detailed improvement plans and street cross-sections are provided in Appendix A.

Project Title: West Sequoia Avenue Multimodal Improvements This document is the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed construction of multimodal improvements along West Sequoia Avenue which will include features such as ADA-compliant ramps, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, crosswalks, streetlights, a Class IV bikeway, and landscaping. The proposed Project site is located within the City of Woodlake. The City of Woodlake will act as the Lead Agency for this Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.

3.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this environmental document is to implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Section 15002(a) of the CEQA Guidelines describes the basic purposes of CEQA as follows.
(1) Inform governmental decision-makers and the public about the potential, significant environmental effects of proposed activities.
(2) Identify the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced. (3) Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in Projects through the use of alternatives or mitigation measures when the governmental agency finds the changes to be feasible.
(4) Disclose to the public the reasons why a governmental agency approved the Project in the manner the agency chose if significant environmental effects are involved.

This Initial Study of environmental impacts has been prepared to conform to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.).

According to Section 15070(a), a Negative Declaration is appropriate if it is determined that:
(a) The initial study shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. (b) The initial study identifies potentially significant effects, but:

3.3 EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

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

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

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

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

5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.

Section 15063(c) (3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following. a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are “Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated.” Describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the Project.

Environmental Setting
A scenic vista is generally considered a view of an area that has remarkable scenery or a resource that is indigenous to the area. The Sierra Nevada Foothills, Bravo Lake, St. Johns River, Antelope Mountain, and agricultural lands are all identified as aesthetic resources in the City of Woodlake General Plan (City of Woodlake, 2008). No scenic vistas, highways, or roadways occur within the Project area according to the City’s General Plan. The Project area does not provide any visual resources that would be considered a scenic vista and is not unique compared to the surrounding visual setting. The Project area does not contain any ridgelines, peaks, or overlooks that may be associated with scenic vistas. The visual characteristics of the Project area include single and multi-family homes and educational facilities. 3-13
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Sierra Nevada Mountains: The Sierra Nevada mountain range and its foothills stretch along the east area of the county and are a valuable aesthetic resource. Additionally, Sequoia National Park is located within the stretch of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located in Tulare County. Sequoia National Forest is a U.S. National Forest known for its mountain scenery and natural resources. Located directly north of Sequoia National Park is Kings Canyon National Park, a U.S. National Park known for its towering sequoia trees and scenic vistas. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are approximately 7.2 miles east of the proposed Project site, and views of the mountains can be visible on clear days.

The following photos demonstrate the aesthetic character of the Project area. The proposed Project site is located in a relatively flat area with primarily residential and public facility uses.

State Scenic Highways: The State Scenic Highway Program was implemented by Caltrans and developed to preserve the aesthetic quality of specific highway corridors. Highways included in this program are designated as scenic highways. A highway is designated as scenic based on how much of the natural landscape is visible to travelers, the quality of that landscape, and the extent to which development obstructs views of the landscape. There are no designated 3-14
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 eligible or officially designated state scenic highways within the City of Woodlake. However, there is State Scenic Highway, State Route 198, approximately 6 miles east of the Project site.

Discussion
a) Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact: A scenic vista is defined as a viewpoint that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape for the benefit of the general public. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are the primary scenic vista within this region. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are approximately 7.2 miles east of the proposed Project site; however, views of the mountains are not visible on most days due to poor air quality. The proposed Project would not result in any vertical construction that could affect views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains or any other scenic vista. There is no impact.
b) Would the Project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within state scenic highway? No Impact: There are no designated Eligible or Officially Designated State Scenic Highways within the City of Woodlake. State Route 198 is the nearest State Scenic Highway and is located approximately 6 miles east of the Project site. Significant urban development between the Project site and State Route 198 completely eliminates visibility of the Project site from the highway. There is no impact.

c) In non-urbanized areas, would the Project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from a publicly accessible vantage point). If the Project is in an urbanized area, would the Project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
No Impact: The proposed Project site is located in an area characterized by agricultural, residential, and school site activity; however, the Project would not negatively impact the existing visual character but enhance the visual surroundings by improving the appearance of the streetscape. Proposed improvements include new crosswalks, street lighting, sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, signage, landscaping, and a Class IV bikeway.

All proposed improvements will be made in accordance with City development standards and will not affect the surrounding visual character. There is no impact. 3-15
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 d) Would the Project create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
Less than Significant Impact: The proposed Project would result in new street lighting consistent with the City’s development standards, which are developed to minimize impacts related to excessive light and glare. The impacts are less than significant.

Environmental Setting
Agriculture is an important component of the City of Woodlake’s economy and is a significant source of the City’s cultural identity. The City began as a small but productive agricultural shipping hub for the Central Valley region, and it is known for miles of citrus orchards that are part of California’s larger citrus belt. As such, preserving the productivity of agricultural lands is integral to maintaining the City’s culture and economic viability.

According to the California Department of Conservation, land on the eastern portion of the Project site is designated as Farmlands of Statewide Importance. However, the Project will not require ROW acquisition of any Prime Farmland, as they have already been converted to land uses other than agriculture. The ROW to be acquired is not currently used for crops and is currently under single family, multi-family, and public facility land uses.

Regulatory Setting
California Land Conservation Act of 1965: The California Land Conservation Act of 1965, commonly referred to as the Williamson Act, allows local governments to enter into contracts with private landowners to restrict the activities on specific parcels of land to agricultural or open space uses. The landowners benefit from the contract by receiving significantly reduced property tax assessments. The California Department of Conservation oversees the California Land Conservation Act; however, local governments are responsible for determining specific allowed uses and enforcing the contract.

California Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP): The California Department of Conservation (DOC) implemented the FMMP to conserve and protect agricultural lands within the State. The land included in this program is based on soil type, annual crop yields, and other factors that influence the quality of farmland. The FMMP mapping categories for the most important statewide farmland are as follows:
3-18
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 • Prime Farmland has the ideal physical and chemical composition for crop production.

It has been used for irrigated production in the four years before classification and can produce sustained yields.
• Farmland of Statewide Importance has also been used for irrigated production four years before classification and is only slightly poorer quality than Prime Farmland. • Unique Farmland has been cropped in the four years before classification and does not meet the criteria for Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance but has produced specific crops with high economic value.
• Farmland of Local Importance encompasses farmland that does not meet the criteria for the previous three categories. These may lack irrigation, produce major crops, be zoned as agricultural, and/or support dairy.
• Grazing Land has vegetation that is suitable for grazing livestock.

City of Woodlake General Plan (2008): The following goals, objectives and action plans have been adopted by the City in order to avoid significant, unavoidable impacts on agricultural resources.

Goal: Establish policies to reduce the impact of urbanization on agricultural lands, while allowing the City to grow.

1. Preserve and protect agricultural lands as a means for providing open space and for the managed production of resources.
a. The City shall strive to ensure that new development is designed in a manner that uses land efficiently and reduces the need to expand the urban area outward onto prime agricultural lands.
b. The Planning Department shall conduct an annual review of canceled Williamson Act contracts and development proposals on agricultural land within the City Limits and Sphere of Influence.

2. Develop buffers and transition areas between urban uses and agricultural land to reduce incompatibility issues that are associated with cultivation, pest control and harvesting of crops.
a. Adoption of the Land Use Element and land use map will provide the implementation of this policy.

3. Promote infill and moderately increase overall residential densities in the City of Woodlake to reduce the rate of urbanization of surrounding agricultural lands. a. Strive to create an overall community-wide residential density of four units per acre. All unit types (single and multi-family residential) shall be counted in calculating community-wide density.

4. Establish and maintain "hard edges" around Woodlake that define where urbanization stops and agricultural open space begins.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Discussion
a) Would the Project convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to nonagricultural use? No Impact: The eastern portion of the proposed site includes lands classified as Farmland of Statewide Importance by the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. However, the Project will not require a ROW acquisition of Farmland of Statewide Importance, the area has already been converted to non-farmland, and the Project does not propose the development of adjacent agricultural properties. The Project would not result in a significant loss of agricultural lands, and there is no impact. b) Would the Project conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act Contract?
No Impact: The proposed Project site is within the public ROW and is therefore not zoned for agricultural use or under a Williamson Act Contract. There is no impact. c) Would the Project conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g)?
No Impact: The Project site is located within the public ROW and is therefore not zoned for forest or timberland production. There is no impact.
d) Would the Project result in the loss of forestland or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
No Impact: The proposed Project site is located within the public ROW and would not convert forestland to non-forest use. There is no impact. e) Would the Project involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non-agricultural use or conversion of forestland to non-forest use?
No Impact: As discussed above, the proposed Project site is located within the public ROW.

The Project would not result in the loss of Farmland to non-agricultural use or forestland to non-forest use. There is no impact.

Environmental Setting
Air pollution is directly related to regional topography. Topographic features can either stimulate the movement of air or restrict air movement. California is divided into regional air basins based on topographic air drainage features. The proposed Project site is within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin, with the eastern border set by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Coastal Ranges to the west, and the Tehachapi Mountains to the south. The mountain ranges surrounding the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin (SJVAB) restrict air movement and prevent pollution dispersal. Table 3-1 shows that the SJVAB is nonattainment for several pollutant standards.

A. On September 25, 2008, EPA redesignated the San Joaquin Valley to attainment for the PM10 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) and approved the PM10 Maintenance Plan.

B. The Valley is designated nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA designated the Valley as nonattainment for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS on November 13, 2009 (effective December 14, 2009).

C. Though the Valley was initially classified as serious nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, EPA approved Valley reclassification to extreme nonattainment in the Federal Register on May 5, 2010 (effective June 4, 2010).

D. Effective June 15, 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revoked the federal 1-hour ozone standard, including associated designations and classifications. EPA had previously classified the SJVAB as extreme nonattainment for this standard. EPA approved the 2004 Extreme Ozone Attainment Demonstration Plan on March 8, 2010 (effective April 7, 2010). Many applicable requirements for extreme 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas continue to apply to the SJVAB.

Table 3-1. San Joaquin Valley Attainment Status; Source: SJVAPCD Regulatory Setting
Federal Clean Air Act – The 1977 Federal Clean Air Act (CAA) authorized the establishment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and set deadlines for their attainment.

The Clean Air Act identifies specific emission reduction goals, requires a demonstration of reasonable further progress and an attainment demonstration, and incorporates more stringent sanctions for failure to meet interim milestones. The U.S. EPA is the federal agency charged with administering the Act and other air quality-related legislation. EPA’s principal functions include setting NAAQS, establishing minimum national emission limits for significant sources of pollution, and promulgating regulations. Under CAA, the NCCAB is identified as an attainment area for all pollutants.

California Clean Air Act – California Air Resources Board coordinates and oversees state and federal air pollution control programs in California. As part of this responsibility, the California Air Resources Board monitors existing air quality, establishes California Ambient Air Quality Standards, and limits allowable emissions from vehicular sources. Regulatory authority within established air basins is provided by air pollution control and management districts, which control stationary-source and most categories of area-source emissions and develop regional air quality plans. The Project is located within the jurisdiction of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.

The state and federal standards for the criteria pollutants are presented in Section 8.4 of The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District’s 2015 “Guidance for Assessing and 3-25
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Mitigating Air Quality Impacts.” These standards are designed to protect public health and welfare. The “primary” standards have been established to protect the public health. The “secondary” standards are intended to protect the nation’s welfare and account for air pollutant effects on soils, water, visibility, materials, vegetation, and other aspects of the general welfare. The U.S. EPA revoked the national 1-hour ozone standard on June 15, 2005, and the annual PM10 standard on September 21, 2006, when a new PM2.5 24-hour standard was established.

1. California standards for ozone, carbon monoxide (except 8-hour Lake Tahoe), sulfur dioxide (1 and 24 hour), nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, and visibility reducing particles), are values that are not to be exceeded. All others are not to be equaled or exceeded. California ambient air quality standards are listed in the Table of Standards in Section 70200 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations.

2. National standards (other than ozone, particulate matter, and those based on annual arithmetic mean) are not to be exceeded more than once a year. The ozone standard is attained when the fourth highest 8-hour concentration measured at each site in a year, averaged over three years, is equal to or less than the standard. For PM10, the 24 hour standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with a 24-hour average concentration above 150 μg/m3 is equal to or less than one. For PM2.5, the 24 hour standard is attained when 98 percent of the daily concentrations, averaged over three years, are equal to or less than the standard.

Contact the U.S. EPA for further clarification and current national policies.

3. Concentration expressed first in units in which it was promulgated. Equivalent units given in parentheses are based upon a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 torr. Most measurements of air quality are to be corrected to a reference temperature of 25°C and a reference pressure of 760 torr; ppm in this table refers to ppm by volume, or micromoles of pollutant per mole of gas.

4. Any equivalent measurement method which can be shown to the satisfaction of the ARB to give equivalent results at or near the level of the air quality standard may be used. 3-27

5. National Primary Standards: The levels of air quality necessary, with an adequate margin of safety to protect the public health.

6. National Secondary Standards: The levels of air quality necessary to protect the public welfare from any known or anticipated adverse effects of a pollutant.

7. Reference method as described by the U.S. EPA. An “equivalent method” of measurement may be used but must have a “consistent relationship to the reference method” and must be approved by the U.S. EPA.

8. To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 98th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 100 ppb. Note that the national standards are in units of parts per billion (ppb). California standards are in units of parts per million (ppm). To directly compare the national standards to the California standards the units can be converted from ppb to ppm. In this case, the national standards of 53 ppb and 100 ppb are identical to 0.053 ppm and 0.100 ppm, respectively.

9. On June 2, 2010, a new 1-hour SO2 standard was established and the existing 24-hour and annual primary standards were revoked. To attain the 1-hour national standard, the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile of the 1-hour daily maximum concentrations at each site must not exceed 75 ppb. The 1971 SO2 national standards (24-hour and annual) remain in effect until one year after an area is designated for the 2010 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1971 standards, the 1971 standards remain in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2010 standards are approved. Note that the 1-hour national standard is in units of parts per billion (ppb). California standards are in units of parts per million (ppm). To directly compare the 1-hour national standard to the California standard the units can be converted to ppm. In this case, the national standard of 75 ppb is identical to 0.075 ppm.

10. The ARB has identified lead and vinyl chloride as ‘toxic air contaminants’ with no threshold level of exposure for adverse health effects determined. These actions allow for the implementation of control measures at levels below the ambient concentrations specified for these pollutants.

11. The national standard for lead was revised on October 15, 2008 to a rolling 3-month average. The 1978 lead standard (1.5 μg/m3 as a quarterly average) remains in effect until one year after an area is designated for the 2008 standard, except that in areas designated nonattainment for the 1978 standard, the 1978 standard remains in effect until implementation plans to attain or maintain the 2008 standard are approved.

12. In 1989, the ARB converted both the general statewide 10-mile visibility standard and the Lake Tahoe 30-mile visibility standard to instrumental equivalents, which are “extinction of 0.23 per kilometer” and “extinction of 0.07 per kilometer” for the statewide and Lake Tahoe Air Basin standards, respectively.

Table 3-2. Ambient Air Quality Standards; Source: SJVAPCD San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) – The SJVAPCD enforces air quality standards in the Project area. To meet state and federal air quality objectives, the SJVAPCD adopted the following significance thresholds for Projects (Table 3-3). Additionally, the following SJVAPCD rules and regulations may apply to the proposed Project:
• Rule 3135: Dust Control Plan Fee. All Projects that include construction, demolition, excavation, extraction, and/or other earth-moving activities as defined by Regulation VIII (Described below) must submit a Dust Control Plan and required fees to mitigate dust-related impacts.
• Rule 4101: Visible Emissions. District Rule 4101 prohibits visible emissions of air contaminants that are dark in color and/or have the potential to obstruct visibility. 3-28
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 • Rule 9510: Indirect Source Review (ISR). This rule reduces the impact of PM10 and NOX emissions from growth on the SJVB. This rule places application and emission reduction requirements on applicable development Projects to reduce emissions through onsite mitigation, offsite SJVAPCD-administered Projects, or a combination of the two. • Regulation VIII: Fugitive PM10 Prohibitions. Regulation VIII comprises eight rules that aim to limit PM10 emissions by reducing fugitive dust. These rules contain required management practices to limit PM10 emissions during construction, demolition, excavation, extraction, and/or other earth-moving activities.

Table 3-3. SJVAPCD Thresholds of Significance for Criteria Pollutants; Source: SJVAPCD Woodlake General Plan: The City’s General Plan contains the following goals, objectives, and action plans to improve and maintain air quality.

1. Participate in the regional planning efforts to meet air quality goals by working to improve air quality for the entire planning area.
a. The Planning Department will send proposed development plans to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District for review of potential air pollution impacts.

2. Consider traffic flow in the planning of residential, commercial, and industrial developments.
a. The Planning and Engineering departments will review all new Projects to ensure that efficient traffic flow is maintained, thereby minimizing vehicle-related air emissions.
b. The Circulation Element will ensure that proper roadway connectivity is provided in the planning area. This design feature will reduce vehicle miles traveled.

3. Maintain adequate roadway levels of service (LOS) to avoid congestion which contributes to the air pollution problem.
a. The Planning and Engineering departments will review all proposed development Projects to ensure that roadway service levels do not fall below Level C for arterials, 3-29
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 collectors, and intersections. The City will utilize gas tax and transportation funds to maintain these transportation standards.

4. Develop an organized and efficient circulation system to reduce vehicle trips in the planning area, idling time, intersection delays, and other emissions-producing activities. a. The Circulation Element establishes policies that will encourage increased connectivity in the City’s street patterns.

5. The City shall encourage residents to use alternative modes of transportation. a. The City will seek funds to implement the bike path system, consistent with the Circulation Element map.
b. The City will apply for State funds for bike path improvements consistent with the Tulare County Bike Path Plan.

Discussion
a) Would the Project conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
No Impact: The proposed Project is located within the boundaries of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD) and would result in air pollutant emissions that are regulated by the air district during both its construction and operational phases. The SJVAPCD is responsible for bringing air quality in Tulare County into compliance with federal and state air quality standards. The air district has Particulate Matter (PM) plans, Ozone Plans, and Carbon Monoxide Plans that serve as the clean air plan for the basin. Together, these plans quantify the required emission reductions to meet federal and state air quality standards and provide strategies to meet these standards.

Construction Phase. Project construction would generate pollutant emissions from the following activities: grubbing/land clearing, grading/excavation, drainage/utilities/subgrade, and paving. The construction-related emissions from these activities were calculated using Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0. The full Emissions Model results are available in Appendix B. As shown in Table 3-4 below, Project constructionrelated emissions do not exceed the thresholds established by the SJVAPCD. 3-30

Operational Phase. The proposed Project is being implemented as part of the Active Transportation Program (ATP) and the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) and Safe Routes for Seniors (SRS) program, which funds infrastructure and non-infrastructure Projects that promote the use of active modes of transportation such as walking and biking. As such, the Project is expected to result in emissions reductions by promoting alternative modes of transportation. The Project would not generate any additional vehicle trips, and there will be no stationary source emissions resulting from the Project.

Because the emissions from Project construction would not exceed the thresholds of significance established by the SJVAPCD, and the Project would not result in operational emissions, the Project would not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of an applicable air quality plan, and there is no impact.
b) Would the Project result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the Project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard?
Less Than Significant Impact: The SJVAPCD accounts for cumulative impacts on air quality in Section 1.8, “Thresholds of Significance – Cumulative Impacts,” in its 2015 Guide for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts. When developing its significance thresholds, the SJVAPCD considered basin-wide cumulative impacts on air quality. Because Project emissions are below the significance thresholds adopted by the air district, and compliance with SJVAPCD rules will address any cumulative impacts regarding operational emissions, impacts regarding cumulative emissions would be less than significant. c) Would the Project expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Less Than Significant Impact: There are approximately 280 single-family residences, 120 multi-family residences and five Woodlake District schools in the immediate area surrounding the proposed improvements. Additionally, there is a senior living facility adjacent to the Project. Although there will be sensitive receptors in the area, Project 3-31
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 construction and operation is not expected to release substantial pollutant concentrations, as shown in Table 3-4. The Project would not exceed emissions thresholds established by the SJVAPCD and would not increase operational emissions beyond existing conditions. The impact would be less than significant.
d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
Less Than Significant Impact: The Project will create temporary localized odors during construction. Diesel exhaust and ROGs would be emitted during construction, which may be objectionable to some; however, these odors are not likely to be noticeable for extended periods beyond the perimeter of the Project site. Once constructed, the Project will not create any new sources of odor that result directly from the Project. The Project would not create objectionable odors at a level that would induce a negative response, therefore the impacts would be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
The proposed Project site is located in a portion of the central San Joaquin Valley that has experienced intensive agricultural and urban disturbances for decades. The Central San Joaquin Valley experiences a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Summer temperatures are often over 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter temperatures range from mid-50s to high-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to the heavy disturbance associated 3-33
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 with converting upland, riparian and aquatic habitats to agricultural and urban land uses once abundant native plant and animal species have experienced significant population reductions or have been locally extirpated. As a result, the remaining suitable habitats for native species that still occur in the region are particularly valuable.

Residential and educational facilities are the dominant land use directly adjacent to the existing roadway and surrounding area. There are currently orchards to the east, and a mix of residential and educational facilities, to the north, south, and west. The Project is approximately 2 miles north of St. John’s River, which passes through the southern portion of the Woodlake planning area. The Project is approximately 1 mile northwest of Bravo Lake, a 350-acre natural lake that is used for storing irrigation water. According to a survey detailed in the City of Woodlake’s General Plan (2008), the St. John’s River contains riparian woodland habitat and there are six small vernal pools north of the River. Both riparian woodlands and vernal pools may contain special status species and/or may contain habitats and resources that are associated with special status species. The California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) indicates that special-status species do occur within the Woodlake U.S.G.S. 8.18-minute quadrangle, but not as prevalent in the Woodlake Planning area. According to the National Wetlands Inventory Database, there are no natural wetlands on or near the proposed improvements associated with the Project.

Special Status Species
In order to identify potential species that may be present at the site, a desktop review of the California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB) and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) inventory database were conducted. Twenty-two special status species have been recorded in the Woodlake 8.18-minute USGS topographic quad, but the Project site does not contain suitable or desirable habitat for most of the species, because it has been previously disturbed by urban development and is currently paved. Table 3-5 indicates all special status species that would reasonably occur in the Project vicinity, their protections, and the potential for suitable habitat on the Project site. Of the 22 special status species recorded in the Woodlake Quad Map, nine species have a low potential for occurrence but are not expected to occur on or near the Project site due to the area being highly disturbed by development, lacking suitable habitat for the species and/or being outside the species' current range. The full species list obtained from the CNDDB can be found in Appendix C.

Regulatory Setting
Federal Endangered Species Act (FESA): defines an endangered species as “any species or subspecies that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.” A threatened species is defined as “any species or subspecies that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.”
The Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (FMBTA: 16 USC 703-712): FMBTA prohibits killing, possessing, or trading in any bird species covered in one of four international conventions to which the United States is a party, except in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior. The name of the act is misleading, as it covers almost all birds native to the United States, even those that are non-migratory. The FMBTA encompasses whole birds, parts of birds, and bird nests and eggs.

Although the USFWS and its parent administration, the U.S. Department of the Interior, have traditionally interpreted the FMBTA as prohibiting incidental as well as intentional “take” of birds, a January 2018 legal opinion issued by the Department of the Interior now states that incidental take of migratory birds while engaging in otherwise lawful activities is permissible under the FMBTA. However, California Fish and Game Code makes it unlawful to take or possess any nongame bird covered by the FMBTA (Section 3513) and any other native non-game bird (Section 3800), even if incidental to lawful activities.

Birds of Prey (CA Fish and Game Code Section 3503.5): Birds of prey are protected in California under provisions of the Fish and Game Code (Section 3503.5), which states that it is unlawful to take, possess, or destroy any birds in the order Falconiformes (hawks and eagles) or Strigiformes (owls), as well as their nests and eggs. The bald and golden eagle are afforded additional protection under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 USC 668), making killing birds or their eggs unlawful.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Clean Water Act: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of (1972) is to maintain, restore, and enhance the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters. Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) regulates discharges of dredged and fill materials into “waters of the United States” (jurisdictional waters). Waters of the US, including navigable waters of the United States, interstate waters, tidally influenced waters, and all other waters where the use, degradation, or destruction of the waters could affect interstate or foreign commerce, tributaries to any of these waters, and wetlands that meet any of these criteria or that are adjacent to any of these waters or their tributaries. Waters of the United States also include non-navigable tributaries to traditional navigable, relatively permanent waters, meaning that they contain water at least seasonally (40 CFR § 120.2).

California Endangered Species Act (CESA) prohibits taking any state-listed threatened and endangered species. CESA defines take as “any action or attempt to hunt, pursue, catch, capture, or kill any listed species.” If the proposed Project results in a take of a listed species, a permit under Section 2080 of CESA is required from the CDFG. 3-38

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Discussion
a) Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish & Game or U.S. fish and Wildlife Service? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporation: Based upon a preliminary screening using "CNDDB QuickView" (see Appendix C) and the CNPS Rare Plant Inventory Database, there are four species listed on either/both the Federal Endangered Species Act and California Endangered Species Act, six species designated as “species of special concern” or are “federally proposed/watchlist” by the CDFW, and three plants with a California Rare Plant Ranking. From these known species, there is minimal suitable habitat within the Project limits or in the general Project vicinity due to intense urban development.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that any of the special status species occur on the Project site.

All properties adjacent to the proposed improvements have undergone either intense urban or agricultural development, which has removed any natural habitat for the majority of the species recorded in the Woodlake area. However, there may be suitable habitat for a wide variety of nesting bird species, most of which is outside of the Project area. Nesting migratory birds may utilize mature trees near the site, but no trees or shrubs are anticipated to be removed. Project activities adjacent to nesting birds could result in direct impacts to nests due to noise and vibration resulting from construction activities and increased human presence, potentially leading to nest failure. No indirect impacts are anticipated due to the short duration of construction (6 months), so overall loss of nesting habitat would be insignificant. Although all disturbance will occur within the immediate ROW, no tree or shrub removal is proposed, and there is virtually no native vegetation found on the existing site, Mitigation Measure BIO-1 is recommended to avoid and minimize impacts to nesting bird species. With implementation of MM BIO-1, impacts are less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
b) Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact: The Project will occur within or immediately adjacent to a heavily disturbed public right-of-way. There is no riparian habitat or any sensitive community within the Project area, so proposed Project activities would not impact any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), or United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). There is no impact.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 c) Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? Less than Significant Impact: There are no federally protected wetlands on the Project site, and proposed improvements will not be close enough to cause a substantial adverse effect on a federally protected wetland. The nearest waterways include St. Johns River, which is two miles south of the Project site, and Bravo Lake, which is one mile southeast of the Project site. Any construction-related impacts related to water quality and erosion will be temporary and subject to best management practices (BMPs) required by the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), which are developed to prevent significant impacts related to water quality and erosion. Implementation of the required best management practices associated with the SWPPP as well as the Project’s distance from local waterways ensures that the impact will remain less than significant. d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
No Impact: The Project involves pedestrian and bicycle improvements which will include re-paving and installing safety features such as signs, streetlights, and road markings on an existing roadway. The Project is not expected to impact the ease of movement of resident or migratory wildlife species. There is no impact. e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
No Impact: The Project will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance, and no tree removal will occur as part of Project construction. There is no impact. f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan?
No Impact: The proposed Project is not located within the boundaries of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Communities Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. There is no impact.

West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 BIO-1: If construction is planned outside the nesting period for raptors (other than burrowing owl) and migratory birds (February 15th-August 31st), no mitigation shall be required. If construction is planned during the nesting season for migratory birds and raptors, a preconstruction survey to identify active bird nests shall be conducted by a qualified biologist to evaluate the site and a 250-foot buffer for migratory birds and a 500- foot buffer for raptors.

If nesting birds are identified during the survey, active raptor nests shall be avoided by 500 feet and all other migratory bird nests shall be avoided by 250 feet. Avoidance buffers may be reduced if a qualified onsite monitor determines that encroachment into the buffer area is not affecting nest building, the rearing of young, or otherwise affecting the breeding behaviors of the resident birds. Because nesting birds can establish new nests or produce a second or even third clutch at any time during the nesting season, nesting bird surveys shall be repeated every 30 days as construction activities are occurring throughout the nesting season.

No construction or earth-moving activity shall occur within a non-disturbance buffer until it is determined by a qualified biologist that the young have fledged (left the nest) and have attained sufficient flight skills to avoid Project construction areas. Once the migratory birds or raptors have completed nesting and young have fledged, disturbance buffers will no longer be needed and may be removed, and monitoring may cease.

A cultural resources records search was conducted at the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center (SSJVIC) of the California Historical Information System (CHRIS) for the proposed Project. The purpose of the search was to determine whether any known cultural resources or previously conducted cultural resource surveys were located on or near the proposed Project site. The records search covered an area within one-half mile of the Project site and included a review of the National Register of Historic Places, California Points of Historical Interest, California Registry of Historic Resources, California Historical Landmarks, California State Historic Resources Inventory, and a review of cultural resource reports on file.

The records search indicated that there has been one previous cultural resource study completed within the Project area. And ten previous cultural resource studies within a half-mile radius of the Project site. According to the information on file at the SSJVIC, there are no recorded cultural resources on the site or within a half-mile radius that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources, the California Points of Historical Interest, California Inventory of Historic Resources, or the California State Historic Landmarks. The cultural records search include known and recorded cultural resource sites, inventory and excavation reports filed with the SSJVIC, and resources listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the OHP Built Environment Resources Directory, California State Historical Landmarks, California Register of Historical Resources, California Inventory of Historic Resources, and California Points of Historical Interest.

California Historic Register: The California Historic Register was developed as a program to identify, evaluate, register, and protect Historical Resources in California. California Historical Landmarks are sites, buildings, features, or events that are of statewide significance and have anthropological, cultural, military, political, architectural, economic, scientific, religious, experimental, or other value. In order for a resource to be designated as a historical landmark, it must meet the following criteria:
• The first, last, only, or most significant of its type in the state or within a large geographic region (Northern, Central, or Southern California). • Associated with an individual or group having a profound influence on the history of California.
• A prototype of, or an outstanding example of, a period, style, architectural movement, or construction or is one of the more notable works or the best surviving work in a region of a pioneer architect, designer, or master builder.

Woodlake General Plan: In order to protect historic and pre-historic artifacts, the City has established the following goals, objectives, and action plans.

Goal: Take actions to promote Woodlake’s historic identity and protect cultural resources.

1. Work with developers and architects in creating new buildings and renovating old buildings in a manner that is sensitive to the architectural character of Woodlake and the San Joaquin Valley.
a. The City shall adopt design guidelines that promote good architectural design that reinforces Woodlake’s identity and sense of place.

2. Protect cultural resources that may be impacted by new development. a. The Planning Department may require preparation of a cultural resources analysis where warranted. Areas along waterways are of particular concern. When cultural resources are uncovered during construction Projects, all work in the vicinity of the "find" must be stopped and a qualified cultural resources expert consulted to determine appropriate protective measures.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Discussion
a) Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: A cultural records search was conducted at the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center in November 2023 for the proposed Project. The results from the Southern San Joaquin Valley Information Center records search did not identify any historic resources within the Project area that could qualify for inclusion in the CRHR or NRHP. One previous cultural resources investigation was previously conducted on the Project site, and ten cultural resource studies were prepared within a half-mile of the Project site. The full CHRIS Records Search Report is available in Appendix D.

Based on the results of this cultural records search, it can be presumed that there are no prehistoric or historic archaeological materials located within the Project site. The presence of remains or unanticipated cultural resources under the ground surface is possible.

Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that impacts to this checklist item will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation. b) Would the Project cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: There are no known archaeological resources located within the Project area. Implementation of Mitigation Measures CUL-1 and CUL-2 will ensure that potential impact will be less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
c) Would the Projectdisturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries?
Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation: There are no known human remains buried in the Project vicinity. If human remains are unearthed during development, there is a potential for a significant impact. As such, implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2 will ensure that impacts remain less than significant with mitigation incorporation.

Mitigation Measures for Impacts to Cultural Resources:

Mitigation Measure CUL-1: If cultural resources are encountered during ground-disturbing activities, work in the immediate area must halt and an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Archaeology (NPS 1983) should be contacted immediately to evaluate the find. If the discovery proves to be significant under 3-44
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 CEQA, additional work such as data recovery excavation and Native American consultation may be warranted to mitigate any adverse effects.

Mitigation Measure CUL-2: The discovery of human remains is always a possibility during ground disturbing activities. If human remains are found, the State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 states that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. In the event of an unanticipated discovery of human remains, the County Coroner must be notified immediately. If the human remains are determined to be prehistoric, the coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), which will determine and notify a most likely descendant (MLD). The MLD shall complete the inspection of the site within 48 hours of notification and may recommend scientific removal and nondestructive analysis of human remains and items associated with Native American burials. 3-45

California Code of Regulations, Title 20 and Title 24: Title 20 of the California Code of Regulations establishes standards and requirements for appliance energy efficiency. The standards apply to a broad range of appliances sold in California. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations is a broad set of standards designed to address the energy efficiency of new and altered homes and commercial buildings. These standards regulate energy consumed for heating, cooling, ventilation, water heating, and lighting. Title 24 requirements are enforced locally by the City of Woodlake Building Department.

California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen): CalGreen is a mandatory green building code that sets minimum environmental standards for new buildings. It includes standards for volatile organic compound (VOC) emitting materials, water conservation, and construction waste recycling.

Woodlake General Plan (2008): The City’s General Plan outlines several goals, objectives and action plans pertaining to energy conservation.

Goal 1: Consider energy conservation in the planning and design of new and existing development in Woodlake.

1. Development in the planning area shall be designed in a fashion that maximizes energy efficiency.
a. Street standards shall be revised to increase shading along all future streets. Residential street widths for future streets shall be narrowed, thereby reducing the amount of pavement area - reducing heat buildup. Shaded trees will also help to reduce heat buildup. For more information, see the Circulation Element.

Goal 2: The City of Woodlake should explore opportunities for generating energy or conserving energy.

1. The public works department should investigate the opportunity of installing solar panels on city owned buildings or on city owned property.

2. The City of Woodlake should investigate the use of energy savings technologies, including LED lighting, upgraded heating and cooling units, and installation of insulation, solar panels or double-paned windows.

a) Would the Project result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during Project construction or operation?
Less Than Significant Impact: The proposed Project involves the installation of a Class IV bikeway, ADA-compliant ramps, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, 15 crosswalks, and 21 streetlights along West Sequoia Avenue to provide multimodal safety improvements for all users.

During construction, energy use is primarily from the electricity and fuel consumed by construction vehicles and equipment. Energy use associated with Project construction was estimated using the Road Construction Emissions Model Version 9.0 (Appendix B) and EMFAC data. Energy use calculations are provided in Appendix E and summarized below in Table 3-7.

Source Energy Use

Total Construction Energy Use 26,336
Average Annual Construction Energy Use 26,336
Table 3-7. Construction Related Energy Use. Source: Road Construction Emissions Model & EMFAC (See Appendix E)
Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards would guide construction techniques to maximize energy conservation. As such, it is anticipated that construction vehicle fuel energy would not involve wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy consumption.

During Project operations, energy consumption would be minimal. Street lighting is proposed throughout the Project area, resulting in some energy use. However, the City of Woodlake Engineering Standards requires new streetlights to utilize energy-efficient LED luminaires. Additionally, promoting pedestrian and bicycle transportation would reduce fuel-based energy usage in the area. Therefore, it is not anticipated that Project operations would result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy consumption.

Because the proposed Project will comply with all energy efficiency standards required under Title 24 of the California Building Code and City of Woodlake Engineering Standards, it is presumed that the Project will not result in wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary energy consumption. The impact is less than significant.

Geologic Stability and Seismic Activity
• Seismicity: Tulare County is considered a low to moderate earthquake hazard area.

The San Andreas Fault is California's longest and most significant fault zone and is 3-50
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 approximately 40 miles west of the Tulare County Boundary. Owens Valley fault zone is the only active fault located within Tulare County. Section 5 of the 2017 Tulare MultiJurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the Project site as likely to experience earthquake hazards with unlikely frequency, limited extent, limited magnitude, and low significance. Ground shaking can result in other geological impacts, including liquefaction, landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, or collapse. • Liquefaction: Liquefaction is a phenomenon whereby unconsolidated and/or nearsaturated soils lose cohesion and are converted to a fluid state due to severe vibratory motion. The relatively rapid loss of soil shear strength during strong earthquake shaking results in temporary, fluid-like behavior of the soil, which can result in landslides and lateral spreading. No specific countywide assessment of liquefaction has been performed; however, the 2017 Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of liquefaction within the county as low because the soil types in the area were either too coarse or too high in clay content to be suitable for liquefaction. • Landslides: Landslides refer to a wide variety of processes that result in the downward and outward movement of soil, rock, and vegetation under gravitational influence.

Natural and human-induced slope stability changes can cause landslides and often accompany other natural hazard events, such as floods, wildfires, or earthquakes. The eastern portions of the County are considered to be at a higher risk of landslides with steep slopes. However, because of its relatively flat topography, most of the County, including the proposed Project site, is at low risk of landslides and mudslides. The 2017 Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan states that landslide events within Tulare County's populated areas are unlikely.
• Subsidence: Land Subsidence refers to the vertical sinking of land due to either manmade or natural underground voids. Subsidence has occurred throughout the Central Valley at differing rates since the 1920s due to groundwater, oil, and gas withdrawal. Tulare County is prone to accelerated subsidence during drought, with some areas sinking up to 28 feet. Although western portions of the County show signs of deep and shallow subsidence, most of the County, including the proposed Project site, is not considered at risk of subsidence-related hazards.

Soils Involved in Project: The proposed Project involves the construction on top of three soil types. The properties of this soil are described below:
• San Joaquin Loam, 0-2, 2-9 percent slopes: The San Joaquin series consists of moderately deep to a duripan, moderately well-drained soils formed from alluvium derived from acid igneous rock and granite. These soils may have medium to very high runoff and very slow permeability due to the high clay content and tendency of hard pans to form at roughly 20-60 inches below the surface. These soils are prone to rare or occasional flooding.
3-51
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 • Porterville Clay, 0 to 2 percent slopes: The Porterville series consists of deep, welldrained soils formed in fine textured alluvium from igneous rock. These soils have very slow to rapid runoff, slow permeability, and occur on alluvial fans and foothills with slopes ranging from 0 to 15 percent.
• Exeter Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes: The Exeter series consists of moderately deep to a duripan, well drained soils that formed in alluvium mainly from granitic sources. Exeter soils occur primarily on alluvial fans and stream terraces with slopes ranging from 0 to 9 percent. These soils have very slow to medium runoff, moderately slow permeability above the hard pan (duripan) and permeability of the duripan is very slow.

Regulatory Setting
California Building Code: The California Building Code (CBC) contains general building design and construction requirements relating to fire and life safety, structural safety, and access compliance. CBC provisions provide minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property, and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, quality of materials, use and occupancy, location, and maintenance of all buildings and structures and specific equipment.

Tulare County General Plan (2012): The City of Woodlake has adopted the Tulare County Health and Safety Element for issues related to structural safety, erosion, and natural disasters.

The following goals, objectives and policies have been established to prevent adverse impacts related to geology and soils.

Goal HS-1: To protect County residents and visitors from injury and damage resulting from natural catastrophes, man-made events, and hazardous conditions.

HS-1.11 Site Investigations: The County shall conduct site investigations in areas planned for new development to determine susceptibility to landslides, subsidence/settlement, contamination, and/or flooding.

Goal HS-2: To reduce the risk to life and property and governmental costs from seismic and geologic hazards.

HS-2.1 Continued Evaluation of Earthquake Risks: The County shall continue to evaluate areas to determine levels of earthquake risk.

HS-2.2 Landslide Areas: The County shall not allow development on existing unconsolidated landslide debris.
3-52
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 HS-2.4 Structure Siting: The County shall permit development on soils sensitive to seismic activity permitted only after adequate site analysis, including appropriate siting, design of structure, and foundation integrity.

HS-2.7 Subsidence: The County shall confirm that development is not located in any known areas of active subsidence. If urban development may be located in such an area, a special safety study will be prepared and needed safety measures implemented. The County shall also request that developments provide evidence that its long-term use of groundwater resources, where applicable, will not result in notable subsidence attributed to the new extraction of groundwater resources for use by the development.

HS-2.8 Alquist-Priolo Act Compliance: The County shall not permit any structure for human occupancy to be placed within designated Earthquake Fault Zones (pursuant to and as determined by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act; Public Resource code, Chapter 8.18) unless the specific provision of the Act and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations have been satisfied.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Discussion
a) Would the Project directly or indirectly cause potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving:
i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42.

Less than Significant Impact: According to the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, no active faults underlay the Project site. Although the Project is located in an area of relatively low seismic activity, the Project could be affected by ground shaking from nearby faults. The potential for strong seismic ground shaking on the Project site is not a significant environmental concern due to the infrequent seismic activity of the area and the distance to the faults. The Project has no potential to cause the rupture of an earthquake fault indirectly or directly. Therefore, the risk of loss, injury, or death involving a rupture of a known earthquake fault would be less than significant. ii. Strong seismic ground shaking?
No Impact:According to the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, the Project site is located in an area of relatively low seismic activity. The proposed Project does not include any activities or components which could feasibly cause strong seismic ground shaking, either directly or indirectly. There is no impact.

iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? No Impact: No specific countywide assessment of liquefaction has been performed; however, the Tulare Multi-Jurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the risk of liquefaction within the county as low because the soil types are unsuitable for liquefaction. There is no impact.
iv. Landslides?
No Impact: The proposed Project site is generally flat, with no hill slopes. As a result, there is almost no potential for landslides. No geologic landforms exist on or near the site that would result in a landslide event. There is no impact. b) Would the Project result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact: Because the Project site is relatively flat, the potential for erosion is low. However, construction-related activities and increased impermeable 3-55
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 surfaces can increase the probability of erosion. Construction-related impacts related to erosion will be temporary and subject to best management practices (BMPs) required by SWPPP, which are developed to prevent significant impacts from construction. Therefore, erosion-related impacts would remain less than significant. c) Would the Project be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the Project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse? No Impact: The soils associated with the Project site are considered stable and have a low capacity for landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse. Because the Project area is considered stable, and this Project would not result in a substantial grade change to the topography to the point that it would increase the risk of landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse, there is no impact. d) Would the Project be located on expansive soils, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? No Impact: Expansive soils contain large amounts of clay, which absorb water and cause the soil to increase in volume. Conversely, the soils associated with the proposed Project site do not have a high shrink/swell capacity. Because the soils associated with the Project are not suitable for significant expansion, implementation of the Project will pose no direct or indirect risk to life or property caused by expansive soils, and there is no impact. e) Would the Project have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of wastewater?
No Impact: No wastewater will be generated as a part of the proposed Project. There is no impact.
f) Would the Project directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature?
Less Than Significant Impact: There are no unique geologic features and no known paleontological resources located within the Project area and no excavation is proposed in undisturbed soils, particularly to a depth with a potential to unearth paleontological resources. Potential impacts resulting from Project implementation would be less than significant.

Environmental Setting
Natural processes and human activities emit greenhouse gases. The presence of GHGs in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature. Without the natural heat-trapping effect of GHGs, the earth’s surface would be about 34ºC cooler. However, it is believed that emissions from human activities, such as electricity production and vehicle use, have elevated the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere beyond the level of naturally occurring concentrations.

The effect of greenhouse gasses on the earth’s temperature is equivalent to how a greenhouse retains heat. Common GHGs include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, hydro chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur, and hexafluoride. Some gases are more effective than others. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) has been calculated for each greenhouse gas to reflect how long it remains in the atmosphere, on average, and how strongly it absorbs energy. Gases with a higher GWP absorb more energy, per pound, than gases with a lower GWP and thus contribute more to global warming. For example, one pound of methane equals twenty-one pounds of carbon dioxide.

GHGs, as defined by AB 32, include the following gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. GHGs, as defined by AB 32, are summarized in Table 3-8. Each gas's effect on climate change depends on three main factors.

The first is the quantity of these gases in the atmosphere, followed by how long they stay, and finally, how strongly they impact global temperatures.

West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Regarding the quantity of these gases in the atmosphere, we first must establish the amount of particular gas in the air, known as Concentration or abundance, measured in parts per million, parts per billion, and even parts per trillion. To put these measurements in more relatable terms, one part per million equals one drop of water diluted into about 13 gallons, roughly a full gas tank in a compact car. Therefore, it can be assumed more significant emissions of greenhouse gases lead to a higher concentration in the atmosphere.

Each designated gas described above can reside in the atmosphere for different lengths of time, ranging from a few years to thousands of years. All of these gases remain in the atmosphere long enough to become well mixed, meaning that the amount measured in the atmosphere is roughly the same all over the world regardless of the emission source.

Regulatory Setting
AB 32: AB 32 set the 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal into law. It directed the California Air Resources Board to develop discrete early actions to reduce greenhouse gases while also preparing a scoping plan to identify how best to reach the 2020 limit. The reduction measures to meet the 2020 target will be adopted by the start of 2011.

SB 1078, SB 107, and Executive Order S-14-08: SB 1078, SB 107, and Executive Order S-14-08 require California to generate 20% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2017. SB 107 then changes the 2017 deadline to 2010. Executive Order S-14-08 required that all retail sellers of electricity serve 33 percent of their load with renewable energy by 2020.

Tulare County General Plan (2012): The City has adopted the Tulare County Open Space and Conservation Element, which contains the following goals, objectives and policies pertaining to greenhouse gas emissions.

Goal AQ-1: To improve air quality through a regional approach and interagency cooperation.

AQ-1.7 Support Statewide Climate Change Solutions: The County shall monitor and support the efforts of Cal/EPA, CARB, and the SJVAPCD, under AB 32 (Health and Safety Code §38501 et seq.), to develop a recommended list of emission reduction strategies. As appropriate, the County will evaluate each new Project under the updated General Plan to determine its consistency with the emission reduction strategies.

AQ-1.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan/Climate Action Plan: The County will develop a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan (Plan) that identifies greenhouse gas emissions within the County as well as ways to reduce those emissions. The Plan will incorporate the requirements adopted by the California Air Resources Board specific to this issue. In addition, the County will work with the Tulare County Association of Governments 3-60
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 and other applicable agencies to include the following key items in the regional planning efforts.
c) Inventory all known, or reasonably discoverable, sources of greenhouse gases in the County;
d) Inventory the greenhouse gas emissions in the most current year available, and those Projected for year 2020, and;
e) Set a target for the reduction of emissions attributable to the County’s discretionary land use decisions and its own internal government operations.

AQ-1.9 Support Off-Site Measures to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions: The County will support and encourage the use of off-site measures or the purchase of carbon offsets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Discussion
a) Would the Project generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment.

Less Than Significant Impact: Greenhouse gas emissions for the proposed Project's construction were modeled using the Road Construction Emissions Model, Version 9.0.0. The Emissions Model results can be found in Appendix B.

Construction: Greenhouse gasses would be generated during construction from activities including grubbing/land clearing, grading/excavation, drainage/utilities/subgrade, and paving. The Road Construction Emissions Model report predicts that this Project will create a maximum of 1,296 metric tons of CO2e emissions during construction. Because the SJVAPCD does not have numeric thresholds for assessing the significance of constructionrelated GHG emissions, predicted emissions from Project construction were compared to Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ) thresholds for construction-related GHG emissions.

The CEQ currently has a presumptive threshold of 10,000 metric tons of CO2e per year for construction emissions amortized over a 30-year Project lifetime. Because Project construction would generate far less GHG emissions than this threshold, impacts related to GHG emissions during Project construction would be less than significant.

Operation: The Project is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Active Transportation Program (ATP). Therefore, the Project is expected to result in significant emissions reductions by encouraging the use of non-vehicular modes of transportation.

The Project would not generate any additional vehicle trips, and there will be no stationary source emissions resulting from the Project. Because the Project's construction will result in less than significant increases in GHG emissions, and the Project's operation would reduce GHG emissions by promoting alternative modes of transportation, the impact is considered less than significant.

In addition, the Project will implement Best Performance Standards developed by the SJVAPCD. Projects implementing Best Performance Standards are determined to have a less than significant impact on global climate change. The Project will not conflict with any plan, policy, or regulation developed to reduce GHG emissions. There is no impact.

West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and enforces Occupational Safety and Health Standards to ensure safe working conditions. OSHA provides training, outreach, education, and compliance assistance to promote safe workplaces. The proposed Project would be subject to OSHA requirements during construction, operation, and maintenance.

Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 (15 U.S.C. §2601 et seq.). The Toxic Substance Control Act was enacted by Congress in 1976 and authorized the EPA to regulate any chemical substances determined to cause an unreasonable risk to public health or the environment.

Hazardous Waste Control Law, Title 26. The Hazardous Waste Control Law creates hazardous waste management program requirements. The law is implemented by regulations contained in Title 26 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), which contains requirements for the following aspects of hazardous waste management:
• Identification and classification;
• Generation and transportation;
• Design and permitting of recycling, treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; • Treatment standards;
• Operation of facilities and staff training; and
• Closure of facilities and liability requirements.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Discussion
a) Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials? Less than Significant Impact: Once constructed, the Project itself will not contain, use, or produce any hazardous materials. Project construction activities may involve using and transporting hazardous materials, such as fuels, oils, and other chemicals (e.g., paints, lead, adhesives, etc.) typically used during construction. Improper use, transportation, and storage of hazardous materials could result in accidental releases or spills that could pose health risks to workers, the public, and the environment. However, all materials used during construction would be contained, stored, and handled in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations established by DTSC, the EPA, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In addition, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for the Project and will include emergency procedures for incidental hazardous materials releases. The SWPPP also includes Best Management Practices which include requirements for hazardous materials storage. Therefore, the impact is less than significant.
b) Would the Project create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment?
Less Than Significant Impact: There is no reasonably foreseeable condition or incident involving the Project that could result in the release of hazardous materials into the environment other than any potential accidental releases of standard fuels, solvents, or chemicals encountered during typical construction. Should an accidental hazardous release occur or should the Project encounter hazardous soils, existing regulations for handling hazardous materials require coordination with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control for an appropriate plan of action, which can include studies or testing to determine the nature and extent of contamination, as well as handling and proper disposal. Therefore, potential impacts are considered to be less than significant. c) Would the Project emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school?
Less than Significant Impact: The Project is approximately 105 feet from the nearest school.

The Project is within one-quarter mile of five schools, the closest one being Bravo Lake High School, but the Project does not involve emissions or handling of hazardous materials, so potential impacts are considered to be less than significant. 3-67
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 d) Would the Project be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or the environment? No Impact: The Project site is not listed as a hazardous materials site pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and is not included on a list compiled by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The Project would not create a significant hazard to the public or the environment, and there is no impact. e) For a Project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the Project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the Project area? Less than significant: The proposed Project is located within an airport land use plan and is within two miles from an airport. Woodlake Airport is the nearest airport to the Project site, located approximately 1.7 miles south of the Project area. The proposed Project area is within the airport influence area, but outside of the airport safety zone boundary and noise boundary. Since the Project will be outside of the Airport Impact Zone, implementing the proposed Project would not result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the Project area so the impact is less than significant. f) Would the Project impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
No Impact: The City’s site plan review procedures ensure compliance with emergency response and evacuation plans. In addition, the site plan will be reviewed by the Fire Department per standard City procedure to ensure consistency with emergency response and evacuation needs. Therefore, the proposed Project would have no impact on emergency evacuation.
g) Would the Project expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? No Impact: The land surrounding the Project site is developed with urban, suburban, and agricultural uses and is not considered wildlands. Additionally, the 2017 Tulare County MultiJurisdictional Local Hazard Mitigation Plan finds that fire hazards within the City of Woodlake, including the proposed Project site, have occasional frequency, limited extent, magnitude, and is of medium significance to the community. The proposed Project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires, and there is no impact.

Environmental Setting
Regional and Local Hydrology: The San Joaquin Valley has a variety of water sources, including the Sierra snowpack, rivers, and groundwater. The Central Valley has typical hot and dry summers. The Pacific Ocean is the source of storm events that spread rain over the Valley and its foothills while covering the high Sierra Nevada Mountains with snow. 3-70
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Snowmelt runoff and flood flows caused by heavy rains are captured behind the Pine Flat Dam on the Kings River, the Terminus Dam on the Kaweah River, and the Friant Dam on the San Joaquin River. These large flows are managed and stored for flood control and spring and summer irrigation by tens of thousands of valley farmers.

The Project is in the Kaweah Subbasin aquifer of the San Joaquin Valley Groundwater Basin.

Kaweah Lake and the Sierra Nevada Foothills bound the Subbasin to the east, the Elk Bayou River to the south, and the Tulare Lake and Kings Subbasins to the north and west. Pumping water from the aquifer is vital for sustaining crops in places and at times when surface water is not available. Groundwater is also the primary source of drinking water. The aquifer is not a limitless resource, and more water is being pumped out than replenished. However, this Project will not involve a well or sewage disposal or result in a threat of aquifer contamination or hazard to public health.

According to the National Wetlands Inventory, there is an area designated as an excavated freshwater pond on the school site, south of the proposed road improvements, but more accurately indicates a portion of the park area that has a propensity to flood or collect surface water during the growing season. The Project would not interfere with any manmade or natural water features due to the nature of the road improvements. Within Woodlake are small manmade ponds, but the main water features are Bravo Lake and St. Johns River, which are both 1-2 miles south of the Project area. Numerous agricultural ponds, groundwater recharge basins, and other similar features also occur in the surrounding landscape.

Existing Water Quality
• Surface Water Quality Objectives/Standards and Beneficial Uses: Woodlake does not use surface water. The City may explore future opportunities to purchase surface water.

The agricultural channels adjacent to the Project site are man-made surface water delivery canals that deliver groundwater to rural and urban users. There is one natural water course In the southern portion of the City, which is St. John’s River. The lower Kaweah river, which includes St. John’s River is currently listed as an impaired water body by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and it appears on the 303(d) list under the Clean Water Act for impaired water bodies. The Kaweah River, which is near St. John’s River is also listed as an impaired water body for acidity and toxicity.
• Groundwater Quality Objectives/Standards and Beneficial Uses: The groundwater in Woodlake and the Project area is the sole water supply source. The water quality from the Kings Subbasin is sufficient for drinking water, agricultural uses, and all other uses.

The Kings Subbasin is designated as critically over-drafted. The Project construction will require minimal water for dirt compaction and landscaping and will not affect the groundwater supply.
3-71
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 Regulatory Setting
Clean Water Act: The Clean Water Act (CWA) is enforced by the U.S. EPA and was developed in 1972 to regulate discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States. The Act made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters unless a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is obtained.

Central Valley RWQCB: The proposed Project site is within the jurisdiction of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The Central Valley RWQCB requires a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for Projects disturbing more than one acre of land area. Because the Project is greater than one acre, an NPDES Permit and SWPPP will be required.

City of Woodlake General Plan: The Woodlake General Plan contains the following hydrology and water quality policies.

Goal: Protect air and water quality from negative impacts.

1. Promote the use of native and drought-tolerant new landscaping in existing and future parks.
a. The City shall stress the use of native and drought-tolerant species in private and public landscaping areas.

2. Allow for adequate groundwater recharge by developing storm ponding and retention basins where feasible. In some areas these ponds or basins can be incorporated into a recreational area or used as wildlife habitat area.
b. The Engineering Department shall implement the policies of this Element with regard to locations of future park/pond basins.

Discussion
a) Would the Project violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality? Less than Significant Impact: The Project will have less than a significant impact on water quality due to potentially polluted runoff generated during construction activities.

Construction would include demolition of existing pavement, grading, and other earthwork that may occur across most of the 8.18-acre Project site. During storm events, exposed construction areas across the Project site may cause runoff to carry pollutants, such as chemicals, oils, sediment, and debris. However, implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required for the Project. An SWPPP identifies all potential sources of pollution that could affect stormwater discharges from the Project site and 3-72
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 identifies best management practices (BMPs) related to stormwater runoff. Therefore, implementation of the SWPPP would render the impacts less than significant. b) Would the Project substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the Project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin?

No Impact: The proposed Project, once operational, will not require ongoing use of water and, therefore, will not affect an aquifer or local water table. Therefore, the Project will have no impact.
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner, which would:
i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or offsite?
iii. Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff?
iv. Impede or redirect flood flows?
Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation Implementation:

Short-Term Impacts during Construction: During Project construction, there will be no changes to any nearby surface water features.

Construction activities would involve soil-disturbing activities such as trenching, grading, and preparing the soil for the new piping and infrastructure for utilities, including an irrigation system and electrical services (power pole relocation). Disturbed soil would be exposed to wind and water-generated erosion. All disturbed soil will be compacted to a minimum of 90% density to reduce erosion. All temporarily affected areas will be restored to pre-construction contours and conditions upon completion of construction activities.

The disturbed area of the Project site would not discharge to a sensitive water body directly, but may discharge nonpoint sources of pollution indirectly, since Bravo Lake and St. John’s River are within 1-2 miles of the Project area. However, the receiving water risk is low, and the impact will be rendered less than significant with the implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-1.

Long-Term Impacts During Operation and Maintenance: Runoff pollution from West Sequoia Avenue during operation can include dirt, rubber deposits, metal deposits, antifreeze, engine oil, and litter. However, there are no surface waters within the immediate 3-73
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 vicinity of the Project site. Therefore, impacts from the street and vehicles will be minimal.

The proposed underground pipes/utilities are expected to be consistent with requirements outlined in the City of Woodlake Public Works Improvement Standards to safely divert water and prevent contamination and pollution from the roadway.

By implementing Mitigation Measure HYD-1, the Project will not significantly impact water quality during construction or operation. The impact is less than significant with mitigation. d) Would the Project, in flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk the release of pollutants due to Project inundation?
No Impact: The proposed Project is located inland and not near an ocean or large body of water and, therefore, would not be affected by a tsunami. The proposed Project is located in a relatively flat area and would not be impacted by inundation related to mudflow. Since the Project is located in an area that is not susceptible to inundation, the Project would not risk the release of pollutants due to Project inundation. As such, there is no impact. e) Would the Project conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan?
No Impact: The proposed Project will not conflict with or obstruct the implementation of a water quality control plan. The proposed Project will be subject to the requirements of the NPDES Stormwater Program and will be required to comply with an SWPPP, which will identify all potential sources of pollution that could affect stormwater discharges from the Project site and identify BMPs to prevent significant impacts related to stormwater runoff.

The proposed Project site is within the jurisdiction of the Greater Kaweah Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA). The Greater Kaweah GSA adopted the Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) in January 2020. The plan was reviewed for consistency with the proposed Project, and it was determined that it does not conflict with and would not obstruct the implementation of the GSP. There is no impact.

Mitigation Measures for Hydrology and Water Quality
Mitigation Measure HYD-1: The Project shall implement the following Best Management Practices to prevent run-on and runoff pollution, properly dispose of wastes, and train employees and subcontractors.
• The amount and duration of soil exposed to erosion by wind, rain, runoff, and vehicle tracking should be minimized by applying water or other dust palliatives, as necessary.

Watering should occur at least twice a day with complete coverage, preferably in the late morning and after work is completed for the day. Covering small stockpiles or areas is an alternative to applying water. The stockpiles should be located a minimum of fifty feet away from concentrated flows of stormwater, drainage courses, and inlets. The stockpiles should be protected using a temporary perimeter sediment barrier. All clearing, grading, earth moving, or excavation activities will cease during periods of 3-74
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 high winds greater than twenty mph. Vehicles will be prohibited from being on nonactive portions of the Project site. All vehicles on site will be limited to 15 MPH to reduce dust forming. The contractor shall maintain dust control on the site as specified by "Caltrans Standard Specifications 2015".
• Stabilized construction access should be provided at entrances to reduce or eliminate the tracking of sediment onto public streets. Visible sediment tracking should be swept or vacuumed daily. For solid waste management from clearing and grubbing, BMPs would include providing designated waste collection areas and containers and arranging for regular disposal. For concrete waste management, the washout should be conducted offsite or in a designated area at least fifty feet from the Ditch. • Vehicle and equipment cleaning, fueling, and maintenance should be done offsite or in a designated, contained area only. The discharge of petroleum products or other excavated materials to surface water channels is prohibited. The Discharger shall notify the City of Woodlake immediately of any spill of petroleum products or other organic or earthen materials.
• Following construction, all trenches will be filled to reduce any impact. • The Discharger shall maintain a copy of the supporting documentation at the Project site during construction for review by site personnel and agencies. All personnel (employees, contractors, and subcontractors) performing work on the proposed Project shall be adequately informed and trained regarding the conditions of the certification. • The Project disturbs over one acre of soil, therefore a Water Pollution Control Program and SWPPP will need to be prepared by the contractor per Caltrans 2010 Standard Specification Section 13-2.
• The Discharger shall notify the City of Woodlake immediately if any of the above conditions are violated, along with a description of measures it is taking to remedy the violation. By incorporating proper and accepted engineering practices and BMPs, the proposed Project will not produce significant impacts on water quality during construction or its operation.

   
Environmental Setting
The proposed Project site is perpendicular to the western boundary of the City of Woodlake city limits and would involve approximately 8.18 acres total acres, including existing and future Public ROW and temporary construction easement areas along West Sequoia Avenue and the associated local streets. The Project will require a minor amount of ROW acquisition, approximately 0.0398 acres (1,734 S.F.) to accommodate the proposed design. The proposed design would affect approximately 0.49 miles of the public roadway in order to achieve the pedestrian and bicycle improvements. Valencia Boulevard is designated as an arterial street, West Sequoia Avenue and Cypress Road are collector streets, and the rest of the streets are designated as local roadways according to the Circulation Element of the City of Woodlake General Plan. General Plan Land Use designations for properties adjacent to the affected roadways include low, medium, and high-density residential and public facilities. The City of Woodlake zoning ordinance designates the adjacent properties as Low-Density Residential (7,000 SF minimum), Medium-Density Residential, and Public Facilities.

Regulatory Setting
City of Woodlake General Plan: The Woodlake General Plan defines arterial roads as highways that provide through traffic movements on continuous routes throughout the City, and are often two-lane, undivided roadways with rights-of-way width ranging from 60 to 80 feet. The only arterial road included in the improvements is North Valencia Boulevard. Collector streets are those that provide traffic movement around and through Woodlake and provide traffic movement primarily through neighborhoods and link them to arterial streets. Collectors usually contain two travel lanes, two parking lanes, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Improvements to collector streets are contained within the City rights-of-way and range from 50-60 feet wide.

West Sequoia Avenue and Cypress Street are designated as collector streets in the City of Woodlake General Plan. The other streets that are involved in the Project are designated as local roadways. Local roadways provide internal traffic movement within residential 3-76

   
Environmental Setting
Tulare County has no mineral resource zones, and no mineral extraction occurs on or adjacent to the proposed Project site. Historical mines within the County include mineral deposits of tungsten, copper, gold, magnesium, and lead; however, most of these mines are now closed – leaving only 37 active mining operations. According to the Open Space and Conservation Element of the City of Woodlake General Plan, there are no known mineral resources and no known past or active mining operations within the City of Woodlake. The closest significant mineral resource are sand and gravel deposits along the St. John’s River southeast of Woodlake near the Sierra Nevada Foothills. There are several open-pit sand and gravel mines along the river, but this is outside the Woodlake planning area.

Regulatory Setting
California State Surface Mining and Reclamation Act: The California State Surface Mining and Reclamation Act was adopted in 1975 to regulate surface mining, prevent adverse environmental impacts, and preserve the state’s mineral resources. The California Department of Conservation’s Division of Mine Reclamation enforces the Act.

Tulare County General Plan (2012): The Environmental Resources Management Element contains several goals, objectives and policies aimed at protecting the County’s mineral resources.

Goal ERM-2: To conserve protect and encourage the development of areas containing mineral deposits while considering values relating to water resources, air quality, agriculture, traffic, biotic, recreation, aesthetic enjoyment, and other public interest values. 3-82
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 ERM-2.1 Conserve Mineral Deposits: The County will encourage the conservation of identified and/or potential mineral deposits, recognizing the need for identifying, permitting, and maintaining a 50-year supply of locally available PCC grade aggregate.

ERM-2.2 Recognize Mineral Deposits: The County will recognize as a part of the General Plan those areas of identified and/or potential mineral deposits.

ERM-2.3 Future Resource Development: The County will provide for the conservation of identified and/or potential mineral deposits within Tulare County as areas for future resource development. Recognize that mineral deposits are significantly limited within Tulare County and that they play an important role in support of the economy of the County.

ERM-2.5 Resources Development: The County will promote the responsible development of identified and/or potential mineral deposits.

Discussion
a) Would the Project result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? No Impact: The Project site has no known mineral resources that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state, therefore, the proposed Project would not result in the loss or impede the mining of regionally or locally important mineral resources. There is no impact.
b) Would the Project result in the loss of availability of a locally - important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan, or other lands use plan?
No Impact: No known mineral resources are essential to the region, and the Project site is not designated under the City’s or County’s General Plan as an important mineral resource recovery site. Therefore, the proposed Project would not result in the loss of availability of known regionally or locally significant mineral resources. There is no impact.

   
Environmental Setting
Noise is often described as an unwanted sound. Sound is the variation in air pressure that the human ear can detect. If the pressure variations occur at least 20 times per second, they can be detected by the human ear. The number of pressure variations per second is called the frequency of sound and is expressed as cycles per second, called Hertz (Hz). Ambient noise is the “background” noise of an environment. Ambient noise levels on the proposed Project site are primarily due to the school sites and traffic. Construction activities usually result in an increase in sound above ambient noise levels.

Regulatory Setting
Tulare County General Plan (2012): The City of Woodlake has adopted the Tulare County General Plan Health and Safety Element, which outlines criteria applicable to construction noise. The following Tulare County General Plan policies are outlined below:

HS-8.11 Peak Noise Generators: The County shall limit noise generating activities, such as construction, to hours of normal business operation (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). No peak noise generating activities shall be allowed to occur outside of normal business hours without County approval.
3-84
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 HS-8.18 Construction Noise: The County shall seek to limit the potential noise impacts of construction activities by limiting construction activities to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday when construction activities are located near sensitive receptors. No construction shall occur on Sundays or national holidays without a permit from the County to minimize noise impacts associated with development near sensitive receptors.

HS-8.19 Construction Noise Control: The County shall ensure that construction contractors implement best practices guidelines (e.g., berms, screens, etc.) as appropriate and feasible to reduce construction-related noise impacts on surrounding land uses.

Discussion
a) Would the Project result in generation of a substantial temporary or permeant increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the Project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? Less than Significant Impact with Mitigation: Construction for the proposed road improvements will take place within 50-100 feet of many sensitive receptors including school sites, senior living facilities, and residences. Project construction is anticipated to last approximately 12 months and will involve temporary noise sources. The average noise levels generated by construction equipment used in the proposed Project are shown below.

DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 The Tulare County General Plan identifies the following noise thresholds (Table 3-10).

However, Section 8.24.040 of the Woodlake Noise Ordinance states that noise regulations do not apply to construction, repair, or remodeling work accomplished according to a building electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or other construction permit issued by the city or other governmental agency or to the site preparation and grading, provided such work does not take place between the hours of seven a.m. and ten p.m. on any day. The Project will comply with these regulations as well as Tulare County General Plan policies, therefore construction will only occur Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

Multi-Family Residential 60-70
Schools, Libraries, Churches,

65-75
Table 3-10. Conditionally Acceptable Noise Exposure Based on Land Use Type.

Although some construction equipment would generate noise exceeding the conditionally acceptable levels outlined in the Tulare County General Plan, the Project itself will not generate long-term noise levels and Mitigation Measure NS-1 will be implemented to reduce noise impacts. Additionally, the Project will improve local roadway operations without generating additional vehicle trips, which may reduce long-term operational noise levels associated with traffic. Therefore, the Project is not considered growthinducing and will not result in long-term noise impacts beyond what was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR. In order to lessen short-term noise impacts from construction, the Project will implement Mitigation Measure NS-1.

Because of the following factors, the impact is less than significant with mitigation incorporation.
• The noise generated from construction would be temporary and be subject to standards outlined in Mitigation Measure NS-1.
• The construction activities would comply with all measures established by the City to limit construction-related noise impacts.
• Operational noise would be consistent with existing noise levels, which was previously analyzed in the City’s General Plan EIR.
b) Would the Project result in generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or groundborne noise levels?
Less than Significant Impact: Ground-borne vibration or ground-borne noise levels may occur as part of construction activities associated with the Project. Construction activities 3-86
West Sequoia Ave Multimodal Improvements
DRAFT Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration April 2024 will be temporary and will not expose persons to such vibration or noise levels for an extended period. Therefore, the impacts are less than significant. c) For a Project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or, an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of public airport or public use airport, would the Project expose people residing or working in the Project area to excessive noise levels?
No Impact: The Project site is approximately 1.7 miles from the nearest airport (Woodlake Airport). Although the site is within an Airport Land Use Plan, it would not expose people to excessive airport noise, as the noise levels have already been analyzed in the City’s General Plan and the Tulare County Comprehensive Airport Land Use Plan. There is no impact.

Mitigation Measures for Noise
Mitigation Measure NS-1: The Project applicant will ensure that construction occurs between the hours of 7a.m. and 7p.m. as well as occur outside of the typical school year to ensure there are no direct noise impacts to the several school sites surrounding the Project site. 3-87
