TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 7, 2023
ITEM #: I.7
SUBJECT: Quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the Quarter ending September 30, 2023

RECOMMENDATION FOR ACTION: Staff recommends that the City Council accept the quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the quarter ending September 30, 2023.

Staff Contact:

Kim McKinney, Administrative Services Director, (530) 661-5849, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

There is no impact on the City funds in association with the information contained herein. This report is for informational purposes only.

Background:

Each quarter, staff is required to provide the City Council with a report from the City Treasurer on the status of investments. The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with information regarding liquidity, monthly cash flow and expected cash disbursements.

The City manages its investment portfolio in accordance with the guidelines established by the Council-approved Investment Policy. In managing the city’s investment portfolio, preservation of principal is the primary objective, followed by liquidity and finally yield on investments.

The City primarily invests in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), California Asset Management Program (CAMP), and federal agency obligations because these are generally considered low risk investments. The City’s securities are held in custodial care by U.S. Bank N.A., which provides monthly statements to the City of Woodland. The source of valuations for the securities is marked to market by U.S. Bank N.A.

The City utilizes the services of the investment firm of Baird Investments to implement its investment strategy with the objective of increasing yield and generating additional investment earnings while, at the same time, ensuring that the portfolio’s primary goal of providing safety and liquidity is preserved.

Discussion:

As of September 30, 2023, the City treasury consisted of investments with a total book value of $236,796,256. The City changed it's investment strategy and began investing its readily available funds (liquid funds) in the California Asset Management Program (CAMP) instead of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) due to a higher yield. CAMP utilizes the seven-day yield method for estimating the annualized yield of their fund, which is the industry standard for money market funds.

The seven-day yield for CAMP was 5.58% as of September 2023.The yield on LAIF balances for the quarter ending September 2023 was 3.534% and the average yield on the City of Woodland’s investments as of September 30, 2023 was 2.31%. This results in an overall portfolio yield, combining all investments, CAMP, and LAIF of 3.29%.

The City Investment Policy has established an investment yield benchmark equal to the 90-day U.S.

Treasury bill, which for the quarter ending September 2023 was 5.32%. The City is below the

Page 27 ends

benchmark by 2.03%. This is common in environments of climbing interest rates and the City's portfolio will continue to get closer to the benchmark over time. The City’s investment strategy is to maintain 30% of the investment portfolio in highly liquid funds, achieve an overall effective duration for investments of 1.90 years, and achieve a market rate of return of 4.49% based on the parameter of allowable investments. As of September 30, 2023, the City maintained 38.19% of the investment portfolio in highly liquid funds, achieved an overall effective duration for investments of 1.54 years, and achieved a market rate of return of 3.05%. The City target yield is below the market rate of return by 1.441%.

Over the last several years, the investment market has been very volatile. During 2020, in response to the Corona Virus Pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark rate to a target range of 0%. This unexpected decrease in the Federal Reserve’s benchmark rate led to a significant increase in the amount of “calls” on the City’s investments. An investment is “called” when the institution that issued the investment security redeems it (or cashes it out), typically at par value, plus accrued interest, prior to the maturity date. Investment calls are common and staff projects when we expect them to occur as part of our investment planning, but these calls occur much more frequently when investment rates are declining, as was the case for virtually all of 2020 and 2021. The Federal Reserve has begun to reverse direction and has increased its benchmark rate multiple times over the course of the last few years, and has signaled that they will continue to make increases in an effort to help curb inflation in the economy. This will likely result in increasing rates for available investments, and therefore the City does not expect any of its investments to be called over the next quarter.

Over the next quarter, the City will continue its focus on its objectives of safety, liquidity, and return on investment. The City will continue to invest in high-quality credit worthy securities and will continue to implement and evaluate its investment strategy. The investments will be made with the goal of increasing the overall effective duration of investments to twenty-one months and increasing the City’s return on investment while maintaining compliance with the City’s adopted Investment Policy.

Staff continues to explore opportunities to implement a Community Reinvestment component within the overall investment portfolio. The City has become a participant in the CalRise program offered by the California Statewide Communities Development Act (CSCDA), but that program has been largely inactive since its inception. Staff also continue to evaluate direct investment opportunities with local banks within the community.

The attached report provides a summary of the City’s current investments, including the investment interest rates as they have matured, and current rates for new investments. All activities comply with the existing Investment Policy approved by the City Council. Additionally, a glossary of investment terminology and a report titled “Cash with Fiscal Agent” is included which lists the most recent information available regarding investments for the assessment districts/bond reserve fund dollars.

The source of this information is monthly reports from the various district/bond trustees.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council accept the quarterly Treasurer’s Investment Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

ITEM #: I.8
SUBJECT: Revised Salary Schedule effective October 1, 2023

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the revised Salary Schedule effective October 1, 2023.

Staff Contact:

Sheila McShane, Human Resources Manager, (530) 661-5807, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The action to approve the revisions to the salary schedule has no direct fiscal impact. Relevant salaries were calculated and assumed in the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget.

Background:

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) requires that the City Council adopt and approve the citywide salary schedule on a quarterly basis. This staff report serves to meet the CalPERS requirement for the revised salary schedule effective October 1, 2023.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the revised Salary Schedule effective October 1, 2023.

At its October 17, 2023 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 8167 placing a Measure on the Consolidated Statewide Presidential Primary Election Ballot of March 5, 2024 Amending Section

8.12.010 of Chapter 8.12 of the Woodland Municipal Code. If approved, the measure would authorize the City to accept a federal and state contribution of at least $300,000,000 or 99% of the total project costs and to further authorize the construction of the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Management Project. The Resolution has been submitted to the Clerk of the Yolo County Board of Supervisors and the Yolo County Registrar of Voters and the Registrar of Voters has confirmed receipt and assigned the letter M for the City’s measure.

The California Elections Code sets rules and deadlines for filing of written arguments and rebuttals regarding city measures that will appear in the voter information guide. Consistent with California Elections Code Section 9282, the following may write an argument for or against the measure:

(i) the City Council or any member(s) of the City Council, (ii) any individual voter eligible to vote on the above measure, (iii) a bona fide association of such citizens or
(iv) any combination of voters and associations.

The deadline to submit primary arguments is set for November 21, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Each argument shall not exceed 300 words and shall be filed with the City Clerk, signed, and include the printed name(s) and signature(s) of the author(s) submitting it, or if submitted on behalf of an organization, the name of the organization, and the printed name and signature of at least one of its principal officers who is the author of the argument.

Discussion:

Staff is recommending the Council, as the City’s legislative body, submit an argument regarding the local measure pursuant to the law cited above.

Page 46 ends

To do so, staff asks the Council to appoint a subcommittee of two members to draft and file the argument, subject to the following procedures:

• The argument should be written by the individual Councilmember or the subcommittee members privately, without using public work time or public resources to avoid the potential of prohibited government-funded advocacy. Therefore, City staff, the City Attorney’s Office and other consultants may not draft or consult on the argument at public expense.

• When complete, the argument should be filed directly with the City Clerk as required by the Elections Code and the Resolution. It should not be returned for full Council discussion as that would be using a publicly funded meeting to write a partisan argument for or against the measure.

• The authors of the argument would have the opportunity to write a 250-word rebuttal to the opposite-side argument regarding the measure. The rebuttal will be due December 1, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. and must be written and filed in the same way as the argument.

Staff’s recommendation includes the appointment of Mayor Pro Tempore Garcia-Cadena and Councilmember Stallard to serve as the subcommittee members. Mayor Pro Tempore Garcia-Cadena represents District 3, which contains the largest number of parcels, and most number of residential households, affected by the flood plain. Councilmember Stallard has had the most experience and history in working to bring a solution for flood protection for Woodland.

Alternatively, the Council can decide not to submit an argument regarding the measure in the name of the City Council. In that case, no action would be necessary on this item. Staff notes that individual City Councilmembers could still submit arguments and rebuttals for or against the measure like any other Woodland voter, subject to the applicable rules and deadlines.

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA: City Council Regular Meeting
DATE: November 7, 2023
ITEM #: I.10
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Construction Management and Inspection Services for Improvements
Associated with Prudler Phase 1 and Phase 2
Subdivision Improvements

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to approve an amendment to the professional services agreement for construction management and inspection services with UNICO Engineering Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $340,000 and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

Staff Contact:

Miguel Chavez, Senior Construction Project Manager – (530) 661-5952, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

Construction management and inspection of the Prudler Subdivision Improvements are funded entirely by the developer through a developer deposit account set up for the purpose of paying the City's costs to inspect the required public improvements.

The original contract for the Prudler Subdivision Improvement was approved on March 16, 2021, for $623,000. Amendment #1 is for $340,000. If approved, the current amendment will bring the total construction management cost to $963,000.

There is no impact on the general fund.

Background:

On September 6th 2016 , the City Council approved the Prudler Tentative Subdivision Map Nos. 4856 and 5121. Construction of the Prudler Subdivision Improvements began in April 2021. This project was originally scheduled to be completed in 12 months, but has now been under construction for 30 months.

The Contract for the Construction Management and Inspection of these improvements was executed by UNICO Engineering Consultants, Inc. based on review of the City’s short list of approved firms for this type of work and experience in providing similar services. UNICO Engineering Consultants, Inc. was deemed the most qualified to provide these services for the City.

Discussion:

The construction of these subdivision projects includes improvements that will be city owned once complete. As such, the City is required to provide construction management and inspection for these projects. The recommended action to execute consultant agreement amendments will allow for the continuation of providing these construction services.

Consultant contracts for Construction Management and Inspection are based on the amount of time spent on construction of the project. The initial consultant contract was executed based upon the schedule for completion provided by the developer at the time of contract execution. This project is

Page 48 ends

significantly past its originally scheduled completion date. As work continues past the original completion date, the time required for management and inspection also continues past the original completion and thus requires additional payment.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. _____, to approve an amendment to the professional services agreement for construction management and inspection services with UNICO Engineering Consultants, Inc. in the amount of $340,000 and authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.

ITEM #: I.11
SUBJECT: Approve Plans and Specification, and Authorize Bid Advertisement for the Spring Lake Recycled Water
Project, CIP #17-07.

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. ______, approving the project plans and specifications, and authorizing bid advertisement for the Spring Lake Recycled Water Project, CIP 17-07.

Staff Contact:

Matt Cohen, Associate Engineer, 530-661-5973, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The Engineer’s Estimate of construction cost is $3.8 million. The estimated total project cost is $5.1 million and includes construction, construction contingency, design, construction management and inspection costs.

Funding for the Spring Lake Recycled Water Project, CIP 17-07 includes a funding agreement through the SWRCB Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) which includes a grant component from Prop 68 Water Recycling. The agreement total is currently for $2.832 million, comprised of a Prop 68 Water Recycling grant for $550,000 and a CWSRF loan of $2.282 million to be repaid with an interest rate of 0.55% over 30 years. A final budget amendment request will be made with CWSRF after bid opening to reflect the price escalations between the time of the initial funding agreement and actual bid opening prices. The current budget for the Spring Lake Recycled Water Project, CIP 17-07 is $440,000, included in the Capital Budget approved by City Council on June 20, 2023. The original budget provided funding to investigate and plan for the expansion of the recycled water utility to Spring Lake and to apply for grant and loan financing opportunities, and complete design work. The budget will be amended at award to include the CWSRF funding agreement and balance of funding necessary for the project at a future meeting.

The City will establish recycled water rates for the Spring Lake recycled water service area for landscape irrigation to provide funding for operations and maintenance, CWSRF loan repayment, and repayment of other funding sources. Recycled water is sold on a contract basis only with the majority of recycled water use by City landscape irrigation. The recycled water rates are expected to be reduced from the City’s landscape irrigation rate and have a slower rate of increase over time when compared with potable water rates.

There is no impact to the General Fund.

Background:

The City of Woodland’s Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) currently produces Title 22 tertiary treated effluent which is suitable for a wide variety of uses including certain industrial processes, landscape irrigation, and agricultural irrigation. The City initiated the recycled water utility in 2017 and currently serves the industrial area of Woodland along with two parks. Utilizing recycled water for certain industrial and irrigation uses matches water quality to the best use of that water and reduces demands on the potable water system. As a result of repeated droughts, the State of

Page 52 ends

California is advocating for the use of recycled water and the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) has streamlined the permitting process for recycled water systems in addition to providing grants and low interest financing.

The Spring Lake Recycled Water Project will provide recycled water for commercial and landscape irrigation uses. The project will primarily provide recycled water to City owned landscape irrigation including along streets and parks in the Spring Lake area. Developments within Spring Lake have already constructed portions of the necessary recycled water piping, including within 2 City parks. This project will complete the missing pipe segments and convert the landscape irrigation services to recycled water supply. The recycled water will also be available for commercial uses that are consistent with Title 22. The pipeline is approximately 10,000 feet in length and will include connections to landscape irrigation along the alignment. Future project extensions would expand recycled water availability within the Research & Technology Park and west of Highway 113.

Project Delivery

The current Spring Lake Recycled Water Project schedule contemplates:
• Final design, November 2023
• Bidding, December 2023
• Spring Lake Recycled Water Project construction February 2024 – October 2024.

Discussion:

The Spring Lake Recycled Water Project will build on the success of the earlier Industrial Park Recycled Water Project and will improve potable water supply sustainability and drought resilience by reducing demands on the potable water system. The availability of recycled water to the Spring Lake area allows for the use of water to best match the water quality with the best use of that water and would also be an economic development tool for new businesses.

Project costs, including construction contingency and soft costs, are in the range of $5.150 million. The SWRCB Prop 68 loan and grant agreement will be adjusted with a final budget amendment to account for actual bid costs. The contracted rate structure covers the cost of loan repayment along with operations and maintenance costs and permit fees. The grant is structured to cover a portion of construction costs and the interest rate of the loan is well below the current rate of inflation, which makes the CWSRF grant and loan package very attractive financially.

The current recycled water use is approximately 500,000 gallons per day during summer months and around 350,000 gallons per day during winter months with an annual use of approximately 500 acre- feet. The Spring Lake Recycled Water Project is expected to initially increase recycled water use by over 200,000 gallons per day in summer months, equal to approximately 150 acre-feet annually. The project extends the recycled water utility to the Woodland Research & Technology Park site and allows for the use of recycled water within that development. The project also prepares for a future extension of recycled water to the west side of Highway 113 to the Sports Park and to serve other areas, which will constitute Phase III of Woodland’s recycled water development. By year 2030, the Spring Lake Recycled Water use is expected to rise to approximately 200 acre-feet per year with the addition of Spring Lake Central Park and the Research & Technology Park development.

ITEM #: I.12
SUBJECT: Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project, CIP 22-16; Approve Consultant Amendment #1 with
ICF for Consulting Services.

Recommendation for Action: Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. ______, authorizing the City Manager to authorize the consultant services amendment #1 with ICF for the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project for an amount up to $128,740.

Staff Contact:

Tim Busch, Principal Utilities Civil Engineer, 530-661-5963, [email protected]

Fiscal Impact:

The City entered into a Federal Cost Sharing Agreement (FCSA) with the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB) in December 2022 for the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project (Project). The design and construction of the Project is led by the Corps with the City and State as non-federal sponsors. The cost sharing agreement (FCSA) between the partners includes the Corps covering 65% of costs and the non-federal sponsors covering 35% of costs. The City also entered into a Local Design Agreement (LDA) in December 2022 with the CVFPB. The cost share for the 35% non-federal project costs is 30% City and 70% CVFPB. The City’s cost share can be either through direct payments to the Corps or completion of in kind work. The LDA provides for the CVFPB to reimburse the City for its share of the non-federal project costs as work in kind.

Initial project work includes the Pre-Construction Engineering and Design (PED). PED budget is $7,600,000 and the initial schedule contemplates completion within approximately 2 years. With the cost share at 65% Corps and 35% non-federal sponsors, the non-federal cost is $2,660,000. Using a 70% CVFPB and 30% City cost share, the City portion is $798,000.

The project received Federal Authorization in the 2022 Water Resources Development Act which enabled the project to be authorized for construction through the Corps. The Corps has received the full $5 million for PED. The project received $2 million as a Congressional add in FY22 and $3 million in Corps Workplan funding in FY23.

This project is included in the Capital Budget approved by Council with $3,400,000 being advanced from the sewer enterprise fund with a future repayment from the storm drain enterprise fund. In addition, as part of the long-term financing plan for the project, the team will pursue cost-sharing, including project management services, with public agency and private property stakeholders with an interest in partnering on a flood solution for Lower Cache Creek. The City would advance certain project activities including geotechnical exploration and hydraulic modeling, both of these activities are cost share eligible under both the FCSA and LDA. Under the LDA, the CVFPB would reimburse the City for 70% of eligible project costs.

ICF has been involved in the City’s flood protection efforts for several years including preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the earlier Lower Cache Creek Feasibility Study. Approval of amendment #1 for Project 22-16 would increase the contract by $128,740 and will bring the total not

Page 56 ends

to exceed cost for the Lower Cache Flood Risk Reduction Project (LCCFRRP) services to $159,480.

The agreement covers ICF’s services through the attached scope of work. The work is expected to be credited as In Kind Work under the FCSA and Work in Kind under the LDA. Approximately $90,000 of this work is expected to be reimbursed by the CVFPB.

Background:

The City of Woodland faces significant flood threats from both Cache Creek (located north of the City) and the Yolo Bypass (located east of the City). Cache Creek, located north of the City of Woodland, has overtopped its banks more than twenty times since 1900, with existing levees providing only an approximate ten-year level of protection. Approximately 25% of Woodland is located within the Cache Creek floodplain. Winter storms in February 2019 and resultant flows in Cache Creek and levee overtopping proved that the existing Cache Creek levees provide roughly only protection from a 7-year storm event.

The Project is included in the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP), which is the State of California’s strategic blueprint for managing flood risk in the California Central Valley. The CVFPP is produced in coordination with the Corps; tribal, regional, and local entities; and guides the State’s policies, investments, partnerships, and subsequent implementation activities. The CVFPP ensures a climate-driven technical foundation for a flood management system that helps protect our communities, contributes to native species recovery, and integrates broader water management objectives. The CVFPP was first adopted in 2012 and is updated every five years. The 2022 CVFPP Update acknowledges the need to improve equity in flood management decision making for underserved communities, especially with the increased flood risk associated with climate change.

An increased spotlight on equity and social justice has accelerated overdue assessments in many public sectors, and the flood sector is no exception. Flood management agencies and organizations nationwide have acknowledged that socially vulnerable populations face disproportionate flood risk because of a variety of social, economic, and political factors, and that flood events exacerbate existing racial and social inequities. The Lower Cache Creek Project is proposed in the CVFPP as part of a program of actions along Cache Creek that will reduce flood risk, and is part of a broader regional solution to managing flood risk for this underserved community.

Discussion:

Given the Corps workload and schedule, it is beneficial and cost effective for the City and CVFPB to complete certain project activities in conjunction with the Corps work. The geotechnical exploration and hydraulic modeling work are discreet activities that can be easily parsed out from the overall project work. These activities are also critical path on the schedule for design of the project. These activities are expected to be fully cost share eligible under both the FCSA and LDA which means that the City’s cash obligation under the FCSA would be significantly reduced and the CVFPB would reimburse the City for 70% of the costs under the LDA.

The scope of ICF’s work includes providing environmental, archeological, cultural, and paleontological monitoring of the geotechnical exploration work for the project. The scope of work is attached and has been carefully coordinated with the Corps and geotechnical consultant. This work is critical path for the overall project schedule. ICF is on the City’s list of approved consultants for environmental work as a quality based selection.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. ______, authorizing the City Manager to authorize the consultant services amendment #1 with ICF for the Lower Cache Creek Flood Risk Reduction Project for an amount up to $128,740.

Subject: Scope and Cost Estimate to Provide Environmental Compliance Support for Geotechnical Drilling for Woodland Flood Risk Management Project Dear Tim:

As requested, ICF Jones & Stokes (herein referred to as ICF) is submitting a proposal to provide environmental compliance services to the City of Woodland (City) to support geotechnical drilling for the Woodland Flood Risk Management Project. The scope of work presented in this proposal covers environmental awareness training, sensitive resource flagging, and biological and archaeological monitoring and reporting.

To support preparation of this scope of work, we have reviewed the following:
 Biological Assessment and Opinion Appendix B, Lower Cache Creek Feasibility Study Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (February 2021)  Programmatic Agreement Among the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the California State Historic Preservation Officer Regarding the Lower Cache Creek Feasibility Study Project, Yolo County, California (November 2020)
 Email correspondence from Keleigh L Duey, Senior Environmental Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District (October 2023) and Michelle Fitzgerald, Physical Anthropologist, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District (October 2023) This scope of work is based on the following general assumptions:
 Work will occur from mid-November 2023 through mid-January 2024, 5 days per week, 10- hours per day (plus 1 hour of drive time). Work is anticipated to occur on 41 days.  Work will occur in reaches N, O, P Q, R, and S. Archeological monitoring will be required in all reaches. Biological monitoring is required in all but R and S though it is unknown if work will occur concurrently in other reaches that require monitoring therefore fulltime biological monitoring is assumed.
 If work occurs concurrently at multiple locations, start times will be staggered or they will be spaced such that one biological and one archaeological monitor can cover both locations.  Work will be completed by February 2024 and no bird surveys or nest monitoring will be required.

Worker Environmental Awareness Training Materials and Job Walk As required by the Biological Assessment and Opinion, ICF will prepare a fact sheet that provides at a minimum, a description of all federally-listed species and their habitats within the action area; an explanation of the species status and protection under state and federal laws; the avoidance and minimization measures to be implemented to reduce take of this species; communication and work stoppage procedures in case a listed species is observed within the project area; and an explanation of the importance of the environmentally sensitive areas and wildlife exclusion fencing. The fact sheet will be distributed to all construction personnel. This task also includes hours for an ICF representative to participate in a one-day job walk with representatives from HDR and USACE.

Task 2. Provide Environmental Compliance Monitoring Services during Construction
ICF will provide the following monitoring and reporting services during the construction phase:
 ICF will provide a short, on-site environmental awareness training program to construction personnel using the fact sheet prepared under Task 1. The training program will include information on sensitive environmental resources (biological and archaeological) that may occur in the project area, best management practices and mitigation measures, overview of permit conditions, and prohibited activities at the construction site. Additional training sessions will be conducted as needed to train additional personnel. The training sessions will be conducted in the field during monitoring visits and will take approximately 15 minutes. The construction contractor shall ensure that all personnel receive the training before starting work. All personnel provided the training will sign an attendance log that will be kept on file by ICF and provided to the City for their files.  An ICF biologist will conduct daily monitoring to ensure compliance with the Biological Assessment and Opinion. The monitor will ensure that the ESA fencing is in place, conduct visual surveys work areas to ensure that no wildlife have been entrapped, provide environmental training to new construction crew members, and ensure that environmental BMPs are being implemented appropriately. This task also includes survey and flagging of elderberry shrubs in Reach S. The biologist will complete a daily log documenting construction activities and compliance.
 An ICF archaeologist will conduct daily monitoring at all work locations where ground disturbance will occur to ensure compliance with the Programmatic Agreement. The archaeologist will conduct a clearance survey at each location to ensure that no known or unknown cultural resources are impacted. The archeologist will complete a daily log documenting construction activities and compliance.

Task 3. Provide Post-Construction Services
Following the completion of monitoring activities, ICF will prepare a short memorandum that summarizes environmental compliance monitoring efforts. The memorandum will also include the names and signatures of construction personnel who attended the environmental awareness training.

Our proposal for providing the environmental services described in this proposal is provided in Table 1. We look forward to continuing to provide the City with environmental services for this

Report in Brief:

As part of the City’s 2035 General Plan (“General Plan”) update, the Sphere of Influence (SOI) was identified as a boundary encompassing lands expected to ultimately be annexed into the City and recognized by the Yolo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). Annexation of key areas within the City’s SOI will allow the City to realize certain tax benefits and guide future development in these areas. Prompted by the individual annexation applications of property owners in two areas within the City’s SOI (Barnard Area and Northeast Industrial Area), city staff analyzed three additional areas also considered for near-term annexation, which is anticipated to save staff time and cost as compared to bringing them forward separately. To this end, the City is pursuing five annexation areas in total within the City’s SOI that include City-owned properties (“Sports Park” ), properties with mixed public and private ownerships (“Pirmi” and "Northeast Industrial”), properties with recent development

Page 65 ends

requests currently within Yolo County (“Barnard Area”) and an existing housing cluster already served by the city (“Westucky Area”).

On October 19, 2023, the Woodland Planning Commission considered the Citywide Annexation and on a vote of 5 to 0 (two commissioners absent) recommended the City Council approve the annexation and rezoning as proposed.

Fiscal Impact:

Application and Processing
The City entered into an Agreement for Advance of Funds with the project applicants to cover fair share costs incurred in processing the proposed annexation applications for the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area and the Barnard Annexation Area. The applicants covered staff time, city attorney fees, and consultant costs associated with processing the applications. Additionally, the City Council approved the use of matching General Fund money to cover any fair share expenses associated with the annexation of City property.

Fiscal Impact Analysis
The California Revenue and Taxation Code requires a city seeking to annex property and a county affected by such annexation to agree upon an exchange of property taxes derived from the property and available to the city and county to pay for anticipated municipal and countywide services following the property's annexation. These agreements are known as Property Tax Revenue Exchange Agreements, or more commonly as “tax share agreements.”

As part of the annexation, a Fiscal Analysis was prepared by the consulting firm BAE Urban Economics, for the annexation areas, excluding the Northeast Industrial area that already had a tax sharing agreement in place. The analysis includes an evaluation of both anticipated City expenditures to provide ongoing services to the identified annexation areas compared to current and expected revenues anticipated if development occurs in line with the development projections. The Fiscal Impact Analysis Memorandum provides a detailed summary of anticipated revenue, expenditures, and net fiscal impact.

In brief, the total General Fund expenditures to support the full buildout of the Pirmi, Barnard and Westucky annexation areas identified in the Tax Exchange Agreement is projected to be just over two hundred and sixteen thousand dollars annually ($216,000). The largest share of these costs is associated with police and fire services. Annual revenues to the City of Woodland General Fund by project buildout are projected at just over four hundred and ninety thousand dollars ($492,000). Most of these revenues are associated with property-related taxes, including direct property tax, In Lieu of Vehicle License Fee (ILVLF), and sales tax.

At full build out of the Plan Area, the development is projected to generate an annual General Fund surplus of just over two hundred and seventy thousand dollars ($276,000).

From the fiscal analysis, a tax-exchange agreement with Yolo County outlines an equitable fair share of existing and future tax revenue generated from these areas. In brief, the City agreed to share the property tax revenue with the County, each receiving 50% for the Pirmi, Barnard and Westucky annexation areas; the city receiving 100% of the property tax revenue for the Sports Park annexation area; and a revenue split of 30% County / 70% City for the Northeast Industrial annexation area. The County will similarly receive a 50% share of Sale and Use tax revenue generated in the Barnard annexation area.

Infrastructure/Public Services/Municipal Service Review The City’s recently updated General Plan 2035 and associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR)

Page 66 ends

provides analysis and implementation measures to ensure that the City has adequate facilities and capacity to accommodate existing and planned growth within its Sphere of Influence. General Plan policies require new development to fund its share of new construction, operations and maintenance such that growth should not result in a reduction in service levels or capabilities to existing service population.

As a general-purpose city, Woodland will provide essential municipal services to the areas upon annexation. The City will also take over responsibility for development review, including land use entitlements, building permits/inspections, and public works, as well as ongoing street maintenance, construction, and operation. The City has satisfactory staffing, equipment and resources, in part collected through project impact fees and/or maintenance districts, to respond to the demands for service in the proposed annexation areas without impacting existing services.

Planning, land use, and building and inspection services are provided by the City on a cost-for- service model. At the time of application, the City collects a service fee adequate to recover the costs of these services. These fees are updated as necessary to reflect current operating costs. Public Works services are funded through various sources, including the General Fund (property and sales tax) and special funds, including Gas Tax and Measure E and F sales tax. Capital improvements, repairs and maintenance are financed through a combination of utility user fees, Measure F, grants and the collection of Development Impact Fees. The City may also require new development to annex into one or more special taxing districts (e.g., Assessment Districts, Community Facilities Districts to fund maintenance of specific operations. Development within the annexation area is subject to this annexation requirement.

Individual future development projects will connect to city services (water, sewer, and storm). Sewer and water, including recycled water, are available and proximate to a majority of the annexation properties. Storm drainage will generally be handled through the City’s storm drainage system. The timing for roadway improvements are determined based on traffic analysis and trip generation/volume and are primarily a requirement of private development unless included in the city’s Major Project Financing Plan (MPFP). Certain offsite improvements are captured in Development Agreements, including street light installation and landscape requirements.

Background:

In 2021, the City received planning applications requesting annexation of approximately 616 acres within the Northeast Industrial area of the city’s SOI and identified by the 2035 General Plan as future Industrial land and Flood Study Area. Within the same year, the Planning division received service requests to provide city services at two proposed development sites within Yolo County at the interchange of County Road 99 and Interstate-5 for the Barnard Area. These two requests prompted the City to evaluate other areas identified in the General Plan SOI and within the Urban Limit Line (ULL) to be part of a “citywide” annexation proposal.

In May 2017, the City adopted the updated 2035 General Plan. The General Plan identified areas within the City’s ULL, but outside of the City’s municipal boundary, as potential future growth areas, establishing appropriate land use designations for these areas. As a follow-on to the 2035 General Plan, on January 24, 2019, LAFCo ratified the adoption of the 2018 Municipal Service Review (MSR), which included a SOI boundary update for the City of Woodland. The SOI boundary establishes an area around and beyond the current city limit where future development is likely and where the City should proactively guide and anticipate the need for future extension of infrastructure and delivery of municipal services. The City’s SOI boundary was updated in line with General Plan future growth expectations and now coincides with the 2006 voter-approved Urban Limit Line. The General Plan Opportunity Sites Map below (Exhibit-1) illustrates the areas identified within the city limits but also within the SOI and ULL where future development might be reasonably expected to occur in the next

Page 67 ends

20 years.

As well, both the 2035 General Plan and the Municipal Service Review identified land within the SOI as a potential future annexation area(s) for the City of Woodland. Consistent with these two documents, the City identified five areas within the SOI as appropriate near-term annexation areas based on:
• location and/or development status,
• opportunity for economic growth and job creation,
• relationship to other projects,
• status as city-owned properties,
• city interest in compatible development at the edge of City limits and/or • consideration of timing/efficiency to annex a number of properties at the same time.

When land is not annexed, regardless of location within the city’s SOI, the County establishes and retains control over land use and development. With annexation, the City will have greater oversight of development within the SOI with direct implications regarding the appropriateness of use, development intensity, job creation, and potential future revenue to the city. Exhibit- 2 provides a map of the five proposed annexation areas throughout the City’s SOI.

Page 68 ends

The proposed annexation areas identified in the above exhibit (see also Attachment 2) combine city- initiated and owner-initiated proposals and will ultimately expand the City’s jurisdictional authority by approximately 764 acres. The proposed annexation areas are already within a city-served Fire District (Spring Lake Fire District) and City Police have a reciprocity agreement with the County. The full breadth of City services will now be supported in these areas after annexation, including utility service, and comprehensive Police response services and waste management services.

The five identified annexation areas include:
• The Barnard Area, where development was recently approved under the authority of Yolo County, and where the City has provided water and sewer service to development through approved service agreements;
• Westucky Area, identified in the 2035 General Plan as a disadvantaged community and therefore triggers annexation due to the proximity to the Barnard annexation area; • Pirmi industrial area, where City services are already provided to privately developed and owned industrial properties and where the city owns two properties, including a stormwater facility;
• City-owned properties at the Woodland Sports Park, and • Northeast Industrial Area, identified in the General Plan as a future opportunity site for economic growth, employment generation, and property and sales tax revenue.

The rationale for consideration of each annexation area is outlined in the following Discussion section

Page 69 ends

of this report, followed by a summary of next steps in the annexation regulatory process.

Summary of actions taken to date in furtherance of annexation consideration:
• Municipal Service Review
On January 24, 2019, Yolo LAFCo ratified the adoption of the 2018 Municipal Service Review and SOI Update for the City of Woodland, at which time the city’s SOI was updated to coincide with its 2006 voter-approved Urban Limit Line. The combined 764 acres proposed for annexation is located within the current City of Woodland SOI.
• Public Outreach
In August of 2021, staff began preliminary outreach to property owners to initiate discussion and address any question or concerns regarding the proposed annexations.

A majority of the properties in the Westucky annexation area are under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the City requiring future annexation in trade for prior authorized connection to City services such as sewer and water.

In all cases, staff sent informational notices regarding the proposed annexations, outlining the process and providing preliminary Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). From the mailing, staff received only three inquiries about the annexation from property owners. Two property owners reached out from the Pirmi area related to any increase in taxes and a property owner in the Barnard annexation area inquired about the City’s General Plan flood study designation for the area and the proposed annexation timeline.
• Informational Annexation Overview Reviewed by City Council On August 17, 2021, staff provided an annexation update to the City Council regarding the pending petition for the five proposed annexation areas from property owners in addition to city-initiated areas in the City’s SOI. The Council directed staff to pursue these entitlements through a combination of private project-based funding and general fund allocation (for the annexation of City properties). • Pre-Annexation Tax Sharing Agreement
A Tax Share Agreement was approved by the City Council for the Northeast Industrial Area on February 20, 2018, and on November 8, 2022 for the remaining annexation areas. • California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Staff worked with AECOM consulting to conduct a General Plan consistency review for project clearance under CEQA.

On October 19, 2023 the Planning Commission considered the Citywide Annexation and in a vote of 5 to 0 recommended the City Council approve the annexation and rezoning as proposed.

Discussion:

The following is an overview of the proposed annexation areas along with the total acreage, parcel information, General Plan Designation, and pre-zoning. Each of the areas designated for annexation has unique characteristics that were factors for their inclusion into the larger Citywide annexation proposal.

Proposed Annexation Areas

Page 70 ends

BARNARD AREA (#1) - 11.46 ACRES
Assessor Parcel Numbers: 027-430-001, 002, 003, 004, 005 General Plan Land Use Designation: Flood Study Area (FS) Proposed Pre-Zoning Designation: Flood Study Area (FSA)

The Barnard Area is located in the southeast quadrant at the intersection of County Road 99 and Interstate-5. The area was identified as a potential annexation area due to its proximity to Interstate-5 and recent development applications with Yolo County that requested sewer and water services from the city. This area was identified in the City General Plan as a future growth area for its highway commercial uses; however, it is currently located in the flood plain and designated in the 2035 General Plan as part of the “Flood Study Area” (FS). Under the City's General Plan, this area requires the boundaries of the flood projection project to be determined before further urban development can be considered.

The Barnard Area is located in the southeast quadrant at the intersection of County Road 99 and south of Interstate-5 as shown in Exhibit-3. Interstate 5 serves as the northwest to southeast boundary of the Barnard Annexation Area, with undeveloped and agricultural land uses to the north of Interstate 5 and to the west, southwest, and south of the Barnard Annexation Area.

The Barnard Annexation Area is relatively undeveloped, but over the years, the City has received a number of requests from Yolo County to review proposed development projects in this area where the City currently provides sewer and water service. An existing restaurant as well as a gasoline station with an attached convenience store are located in the northwest portion of the Barnard Annexation Area. As previously noted, an existing MOU is in place with the property owners to annex upon request of the City in exchange for services provided.

Page 71 ends

The County has recently entitled two new service/gas stations in this location which are permitted uses under the County's Zoning Ordinance.

The City is also currently providing water and waster water utility services to the Barnard Area under the MOU and the area is within the City's Sphere of Influence, Urban Limit Line, and an important north entryway to the community. The City has had ongoing communication with Yolo County and the property owners with active development proposals in this area to coordinate annexation with the current project review occurring with Yolo County. Given the additional development being considered through the County entitlement process, the City is seeking to annex this area to gain better land use control and to help ensure future development aligns with the City's General Plan. The City negotiated and has entered into a Tax Exchange Agreement with the County that provides for a fair share allocation of the property and sales tax to the City.

WESTUCKY AREA & COUNTY ROAD 99 (#2) - 16.10 ACRES
Assessor Parcel Numbers: 027-081-002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 012, 013, 014, 015, 016 027-082- 001, 002, 012, 014, 015, 016, 019, 022, 023, 024, and 027-440-014.

General Plan Land Use Designation: Industrial/Light Industrial Overlay (I/LIO) Proposed Pre-Zoning Designation: Industrial/Light Industrial Overlay (I/LIO)

The Westucky Area is a small residential pocket located at the northwest corner of Kentucky Avenue and County Road 99 as shown in Exhibit-5. As mentioned previously as part of State annexation requirements through LAFCo and outlined in the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Act (CKH), disadvantaged islands or fringe communities must annex along with any surrounding areas slated for possible annexation. The Westucky Area was identified in the City’s 2035 General Plan as a “disadvantaged

Page 72 ends

community” and under State guidelines is therefore being considered for annexation with the adjoining Barnard Area. For cities, a “disadvantaged unincorporated community” is defined as a fringe or island community in which the median household income is eighty percent or less of the statewide median household income.

According to an income survey conducted by Yolo County in 2013, the unincorporated Westucky residential community has approximately 88 percent of residents with households that qualify as Low- Income (between 51 and 80 percent of area median income), Very Low-Income (31 to 50 percent AMI), or Extremely Low-Income (below 30 percent AMI). Located immediately north of Kentucky Avenue and west of West Street within SP-3B the area is comprised of a mix of existing homes and industrial uses. Under the City’s General Plan, the land use designations surrounding the Westucky area include Industrial/Light Industrial Overlay to the north and west, and Specific Plan-3A to the east.

Additionally, LAFCo regulations do not allow annexation islands of land. Therefore, the stretch of County Road 99 from the current city limits to the I-5 interchange is also proposed as part of the annexation.

Additionally, in 2016, as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Woodland and Yolo County, the fifteen (15) parcels located within the Westucky Area (APNs listed above) were identified for the extension of water and sewer service (Resolution No 2016-09/LAFCO No. 921). Each property owner in the subject territory signed an associated agreement with the City of Woodland approving the service extension and agreeing to annexation upon future request of the City.

The City is now looking to fulfill the terms of the agreement for the annexation of the Westucky parcels. The City has reached out to all property owners that are part of the original agreement (as well as current property owners, if different) to provide notification of the proposed annexation.

Page 73 ends

The area is designated under the City’s General Plan as Industrial with a Light Industrial Overlay (I/LIO). The pre-zoning for this area is proposed to remain consistent with the General Plan as I/LIO, Exhibit - 6.

PIRMI AREA (#3) - 76.43 ACRES
Assessor Parcel Numbers: 027-340-005, 008, 010, 020, 022, 027, 033, 034, 035, 037, 038.

General Plan Land Use Designation:

Industrial/Light Industrial Overlay (IN/IF)
Flood Study Area (FS)
Public/Quasi Public (PQ)
Proposed Pre-Zoning Designation:

Industrial/Light Industrial Overlay (I/LIO)
Flood Study Area (FSA)
Public/Quasi Public (PQ)

The Pirmi Area Annexation is located on the northwest corner of Kentucky Avenue and East Street, just south of Interstate-5. The Pirmi Area is identified by the City as a potential annexation area because of its proximity to existing Industrial and Light Industrial areas/uses already located within the City of Woodland. Interstate 5 serves as the Pirmi Annexation Area’s northern perimeter and East Street as the eastern perimeter, also running adjacent to Union Pacific Railroad tracks, Exhibit-7.

A majority of the area is developed with industrial uses such as agricultural processing, trucking, and heavy equipment storage. The area is surrounded almost entirely by developed property already located within the City of Woodland. A drainage pond exists in the public-open space designated area in the northwest corner of the annexation area on land currently owned by the City of Woodland. See Exhibit-8 below.

Page 74 ends

Annexation of this area will bring entitlement oversight under the jurisdiction of the City and will allow future new development or expanding businesses the ability to more easily connect to City water and sewer service without an out-of-agency agreement or MOU.

Page 75 ends

The land east of the annexation area is designated by the City as Regional Commercial and Corridor Mixed Use/Light Industrial Overlay; land to the west is designated as Corridor Mixed Use/Light Industrial Overlay and a small area of Flood Study Area in the northwest; land to the south is designated Low Density Residential and Corridor Mixed Use. The pre-zoning for this area is proposed to remain consistent with the General Plan as shown in Exhibit-9.

Page 76 ends

SPORTS PARK PARCEL (#4) - 40.04 ACRES
Assessor Parcel Numbers: 041-080-002
General Plan Land Use Designation: Public/Quasi Public (PQ) Proposed Pre-Zoning Designation: Public/Quasi Public (PQ)

The Sports Park Parcel is located east of the existing City Community & Senior Center / Sports Park, just south of Sports Park Drive, as shown in Exhibit-10. The Sports Park Annexation Area is partially developed as a community park with sports fields, drainage facilities, and minor supporting infrastructure. This is a City-owned parcel and is being proposed for annexation for future community recreational uses consistent with the General Plan, Exhibit-11.

The surrounding open space to the east and south is outside the Woodland City Limit but is within the City’s SOI and is zoned by Yolo County as Agricultural Intensive and designated by the City as Public/Quasi Public. State Route 113 runs southwest to northeast near the Sports Park Annexation Area's eastern boundary. Land to the west is designated Public/Quasi-Public and includes the City’s Community and Senior Center. Land to the north across Sports Park Drive is designated Low-Density Residential and contains single-family residential homes. Any proposed Capital Improvement Project by the City for the parcel will be able to proceed uninhibited if the City has full control of the parcel within the City limits.

The area is designated under the City’s General Plan as Public Quasi Public (PQ). The pre-zoning for this area is proposed to remain consistent with the General Plan as PQ, Exhibit-12.

NORTHEAST INDUSTRIAL AREA (#5) - 616 ACRES
Assessor Parcel Numbers: 027-210-007; 027-350-001, -051; 027-360-042, -043, -044,-045; 027-370- 008, -009, -019, -029, -034, -035.

General Plan Land Use Designation: Industrial (I) and Flood Study Area (FS) Proposed Pre-Zoning Designation: Industrial (I) and Flood Study Area (FSA)

The broader Northeast Industrial annexation area is located east of East Street and along County Road 102 is an area poised for future growth and business development. The eastern half of the area, generally east of Pioneer Avenue, is specifically identified in the General Plan as an opportunity site for future development of “larger industrial uses on larger parcels” such as warehouse and logistics centers, processing, manufacturing, and refining operations and similar uses with supporting commercial services and office space.

The Northeast Industrial Annexation Area is approximately 616 acres located in the northeastern portion of the City’s SOI, west and east of CR102, and north of E. Main Street (Exhibit -13). The Northeast Industrial Annexation Area, was initiated by f of the majority property owners in the area to provide more “shovel ready” sites for future development consistent with the land use and zoning designations of the Woodland General Plan and Zoning Code. Upon receiving the applications, city staff reached out to three additional property owners representing approximately 6.3 acres located within the larger 616-acres, to gauge their support of the annexation (areas numbered 4, 5,6, 8 and 11 in Exhibit 13 below). All three property owners expressed support for annexation. For the purposes of this report, the General Plan designated Flood Study Area running along the city’s easterly boundary of the Urban Limit Line is considered a part of the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area.

Page 79 ends

Within the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area the City owns one, 123-acre parcel where it maintains existing City stormwater management facilities, Exhibits-14. A smaller portion of this larger parcel is now owned and operated by Friends of the Mission in support of the city’s unhoused population. The service-based campus includes an emergency shelter and transitional housing facilities and a treatment facility currently under construction and is located immediately adjacent to the city parcel, north of Beamer Street.

Additional properties within the Project Area include the Adams Grain Company facility, Woodland Welding Works and a Sierra Railroad owned parcel, all located immediately north of E. Main Street at the southernmost boundary of the annexation area. Pre-zoning for the annexation area is consistent with the General Plan’s Industrial and Flood Study Area Land Use Designations as shown in Exhibits- 16, below.

Page 80 ends

Land within the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area is predominantly undeveloped, with just under 40 acres of industrial development directly northwest of the intersection of East Main Street and County Road 102, and an existing drainage basin within the parcel north of East Beamer Street and West of County Road 102. There are no immediate plans for development. However, annexation would allow for a more streamlined process when and if future development should occur. At build out, it is anticipated that the annexation area will accommodate over 6 million square feet of industrial development as well as supporting commercial and retail uses, consistent with the development priorities and vision of the 2035 General Plan.

The Northeast Industrial Annexation Area is also identified in the General Plan as a focus area for economic growth based on the potential for employment generation (Exhibit-15) as well as property and sales tax revenue. Following the adoption of the General Plan, the City negotiated a Tax Exchange Agreement with Yolo County in February 2018 in anticipation of the annexation of this area. As noted previously in this report, the Agreement provides favorable terms for the city’s share of future property tax revenue associated with future development in this area.

Page 81 ends

Much of the Northeast Industrial Area is located within a 100 and 200-year flood plain. Any future development would be subject to offsite flood impact analysis and would likely require elevated building pads above the floodplain. It is beneficial for the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area to be located within the City’s municipal boundary to prevent underutilization or inefficient use of land and uses that may conflict with a future flood protection project. Urban development is not permitted within the General Plan designated FS portion of this area until the boundaries of the flood protection project have been determined.

Additional land inventory is needed to support both existing Woodland-based companies looking to expand operations, and for new companies looking to locate in the city. The availability of land and/or building square footage for industrial uses is at a historical low, ranging from 0-3% percent vacancy over the last several years. Industrial vacancy rates have hovered around 1% since 2021 and remain one of the lowest in the region. The Sacramento region’s industrial market similarly experienced significantly low vacancy rates between 2.4 and 3.1 percent; also record lows for the region. (Source:

CBRE Research, Q2 2023).

Annexation of the proposed area is consistent with the City’s planning assumptions over the horizon of the 2035 General Plan, includes pre-zoning consistent with the 2035 General Plan land use designations for the respective areas, and does not propose any land use designation changes nor physical changes within the proposed annexation areas.

Page 82 ends

In order to specify the manner in which the necessary infrastructure, public facilities, and other programs or services as provided in the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area will be constructed and/or operated and financed, among other matters, the City and each property owner within the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area intend to have entered into Development Agreements (see attachments), which will be modified for each individual property owner (Attachments 6,8,10,12). Key terms of the Development Agreements, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan, include:
• 30 year agreement term.
• At the City’s request, within 3.5 years of annexation, Property 1 (Exhibit 13 above) shall dedicate up to 70 acres to the City at no cost for possible future flood protection project. • Allocation of funds to City for fair share contribution to a possible future flood protection project.
• Applicants shall fund a Transportation Demand Management assessment to reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled consistent with General Plan Policy 3.A.4. • Construction of a Northeast Industrial Area gateway monument sign near E. Main Street and CR102.
• Install and maintain landscaping along the north side of E. Main Street from CR102 west to the annexation area boundary.

Next Steps in the Annexation Process

Formal LAFCo Application
Once an application is made to LAFCo, the agency will notify property owners of the formal

Page 83 ends

annexation application proceedings. Ultimately, the LAFCo Board must vote to approve or deny the application in a public hearing. LAFCo will forward the boundary changes to the County Recorder and to the State of California to be enacted.

It is anticipated that a formal recommendation on the Northeast Industrial Area and Citywide annexations will be presented to LAFCo in early December for review by the end of 2023.

Upon annexation, municipal services provided by the City will include: library; storm drainage; water and wastewater; police and fire protection; planning and zoning; parks and recreation; construction and maintenance of streets, roads, and infrastructure; and general administrative support services.

The City will also take over responsibility for development review, including land use entitlements and building permits and inspections, as well as public works including street maintenance and construction and operation.

General Plan and (Pre) Zoning Consistency

The City of Woodland 2035 General Plan established land use designations for the entirety of land within the 2006 voter approved Urban Limit Line and SOI boundary. Future development and pre- zoning will remain consistent with the General Plan land use designations as outlined in the description of the annexation areas and in the table below (Table-1 & Exhibit-17). Prezoning will take effect upon approval of the annexation by the Yolo LAFCo Commission.

The following sections outline the proposed annexation consistency with the City’s General Plan Goals and Policies.

Page 84 ends

Page 85 ends

Policy 2.A.2 Finite Land Resources. Given that the ULL serves to make land availability within the city a finite resource, maintain high expectations for development.

General Plan Consistency: The County has continued to receive development proposals for the proposed annexation areas and annexation is a way to have greater control over the development in these growth areas. Upon annexation the City will have full review authority on all new development proposals and/or entitlements to assure future development meets the City’s General Plan Goals and Policies.

Policy2.B.3 Tax Sharing. As new growth areas are annexed to Woodland, advocate for favorable tax-sharing agreements that ensure that the City receives the revenues necessary to support the required municipal services and infrastructure required in new growth areas.

General Plan Consistency: The City has an approved tax sharing agreements for all proposed annexation areas.

Policy2.B.4 Development Agreements. Use Development Agreements to maximize public benefit (beyond conditions of approval and mitigation measures) from new growth in Specific Plan areas and other major developments.

General Plan Consistency: Development Agreements are required of the primary landowners in the Northeast Industrial Annexation Area.

Page 86 ends

Policy2.B.5 Coordination. Consult with other agencies and jurisdictions, including Yolo County, the Yolo County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), the Woodland Joint Unified School District (WJUSD), the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), the Yolo County Transportation District (YCTD), and the Yolo County Resource Conservation District, as Specific Plan Areas are being planned to ensure that services and infrastructure can be adequately extended to serve new growth.

General Plan Consistency: The City has been in coordination with Yolo County and LAFCo during preliminary discussions regarding the proposed annexation and throughout the planning process.

Policy 2.B.6 Other Development in Unincorporated Areas within the ULL. Prior to the provision of City services to unincorporated areas within the ULL, require those unincorporated properties to be annexed into the City, or require a conditional service agreement to be executed agreeing to annex when deemed appropriate by the City.

General Plan Consistency: Three of the proposed annexation areas are currently connected to sewer and water services and annexation will fulfill the requirement in the signed MOUs for these areas to annex upon request of the City. City services are available proximate to the remaining proposed annexation areas. Annexation will allow future development the ability to connect to these city services without the need for a conditional or out-of-agency services agreement. All areas are currently served by City Fire and Police. All areas are also currently served by Waste Management, although it is anticipated that service rates will be reduced for properties annexing into the city.

Policy 4.C.5 Strategic Land Inventory.Maintain an adequate amount of land properly zoned, consistent with the General Plan, and ready to be expeditiously developed, redeveloped, and/or revitalized for economic development and job creation. The land inventory should include parcels of a range of sizes, locations and job-supporting land use designations in order to support a wide variety of industries and development needs.

General Plan Consistency: Availability of land and/or building square footage for industrial uses remains historically low, ranging from zero to three percent vacancy over the last several years. Additional land inventory is needed to support both existing Woodland-based companies looking to expand operations and for new companies looking to locate in the city. There is significant interest in land availability for manufacturing as well as warehouse and logistic uses. Several companies interested in locating in Woodland have invested elsewhere due to lack of industrial inventory and/or land. The proposed annexation will incorporate over 400 acres of land for future industrial development. Additionally, the City identified key areas within the SOI that have existing and proposed development that allow the City to realize increased tax benefits and have greater influence on overall buildout within the SOI.

Policy 2.K.3 NortheastArea. Promote clustering of industrial uses into areas that have common needs and impacts in order to maximize their efficiency and minimize conflicts. Provide for industrial uses that require a larger footprint on the east side of the northeast industrial area. Provide for smaller uses on the west side.

General Plan Consistency: Properties suitable for future development within the proposed Northeast Industrial Annexation Area generally range in size from 113 to 157 acres, allowing for larger building and use footprints along the CR 102 corridor north of E. Main Street.

Policy 2.K.5 CR 102 North.As the industrial area builds out, provide enhanced roadway and streetscape improvements to CR102 North to improve accessibility and the visual appearance of the eastern portion of the industrial area.

Page 87 ends

General Plan Consistency: Annexation Development Agreements require the installation of an entryway monument sign near E. Main Street and CR102, identifying the Northeast Industrial Area as a professional industrial district. The Development Agreement also requires the installation of landscaping along the north side of E. Main Street, south of the railroad tracks, along the boundary of the annexation area to further enhance the visual appearance at this gateway location. As the area along CR 102, north of E. Main Street builds out, roadway improvements will largely consist of additional street lights, traffic signal(s), and additional road lanes or turn pockets as necessary to accommodate increased trip generation in these areas. Each development project will provide attractive on-site landscaping and signage along public right-of-ways, and any outdoor stored materials will be screened from public view by fencing and/or landscaping. Opportunities for public art will be explored where appropriate.

Environmental Analysis:

Annexations are projects subject to the environmental review requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

An Initial Study was prepared for the proposed annexations and contains the evaluation and discussion of potential environmental impacts. The analysis concluded that the proposed annexations would have no physical impacts on the environment and that the annexations qualify for an exemption, consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 because they would be consistent with the following CEQA requirements:
• The proposed annexations would be consistent with the development type and density established by existing land use designations under the General Plan policies for which an EIR was certified in 2017.
• There would be no effects which are peculiar to the proposed annexations or annexation areas that were not otherwise identified under the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. • There would not be potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts that the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR failed to evaluate.
• There is no substantial new information that would result in more severe impacts than anticipated by the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR.
• The proposed annexations would be subject to uniformly applied policies, regulations, and development standards that implement the 2035 General Plan, as applicable to any future development located within the annexation areas. Where the 2035 General Plan includes policies and implementation programs developed for the purposes of minimizing and avoiding environmental impacts and that would not be otherwise enforced through existing regulations, the City would enforce implementation of such policies and implementation programs through Conditions of Approval or requirements incorporated within the respective Development Agreements. (see Attachment 3, CEQA Initial Study).

As such, further environmental review is not required by CEQA for the proposed annexations. The City has conditioned the approval of the annexation on the implementation of applicable Conditions of Approval (Attachment 4) and/or requirements included within respective Development Agreements to ensure that all policies from the City’s General Plan developed for the purpose of minimizing and avoiding environmental impacts, and not otherwise achieved through uniformly applied policies, regulations, and development standards, are implemented as future development is proposed.

Legal/Public Notification:

Notice of Public Hearing was distributed to the following parties in accordance with notification procedures set forth in the City of Woodland’s Municipal Code and State Planning Law on or before October 4 and October 29, 2023:

Page 88 ends

• Legal advertisement was published in the Woodland Daily Democrat on October 6 and October 29, 2023.
• Notices were mailed to all property owners and residents within the proposed annexation area boundaries
• Notices were mailed to all property owners and tenants/occupants within 600 feet of the boundaries of the annexation areas.

Copies of the factual staff report for the proposed project have been on file at City Hall since November 3, 2023.

Additionally, in August of 2021 prior to the formal public hearing, city staff mailed a courtesy notice to all property owners within each of the proposed annexation areas. The notice described the proposed annexation areas and relevant parcel and background information on any supporting MOU agreements with annexation requirements. Additionally, the notice provided a brief overview of the annexation process, addressed frequently asked questions, and provided city staff contact information for questions.

Public Notice was also sent to residents and property owners as part of the legal notice of the Planning Commission's October 19, 2023 Public Hearing for the proposed Annexation.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and take the following actions regarding the annexation of 764 acres into the City of Woodland:

Page 91 ends

WHEREAS, Government Code Section 56375(a)(7) provides that a city shall establish zoning for an annexation area prior to, and as a condition of, completion of the annexation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Woodland does hereby ordain as follows:

Section 1: Purpose
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish pre-zoning for the Project.

Section 2: Findings
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
An Initial Study was prepared for the proposed annexations and contains the evaluation and discussion of potential environmental impacts. The analysis concluded that the proposed annexations would have no physical impacts on the environment and that the annexations qualify for an exemption, consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15183 because they would be consistent with the following CEQA requirements:
•The proposed annexations are consistent with the development type and density established by existing land use designations under the General Plan policies for which an EIR was certified in 2017.
•There would be no effects which are peculiar to the proposed annexations or annexation areas that were not otherwise identified under the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. •There would not be potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts that the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR failed to evaluate.
•There is no substantial new information that would result in more severe impacts than anticipated by the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR.
•The proposed annexations would be subject to uniformly applied policies, regulations, and development standards that implement the 2035 General Plan, as applicable to any future development located within the annexation areas. Where the 2035 General Plan includes policies and implementation programs developed for the purposes of minimizing and avoiding environmental impacts and that would not be otherwise enforced through existing regulations, the City would enforce implementation of such policies and implementation programs through Conditions of Approval or requirements incorporated within the respective Development Agreements.

Page 92 ends

As such, further environmental review is not required by CEQA for the proposed annexations.

General Plan
Finding: The proposed Prezoning is consistent with the General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs.

Evidence: California Government Code Section 56375 provides LAFCOs shall require through conditions of approval, that territory to be annexed be zoned prior to the effective date of the annexation (Prezoning). Government Code Section 65859 provides that a city may establish the Prezoning prior to the filing of an annexation application with LAFCo. The City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.140.040 provides that Prezoning shall be considered in the same manner as rezoning.

The proposed Prezoning for the Annexation Areas is consistent with the General Plan land use designations as outlined in (Exhibit A). The prezoning is consistent with the development type and density established by existing land use designations under the 2035 General Plan.

Section 3: Action
Prezoning for the Project Area is established as provided in the attached Exhibit A, incorporated herein by this reference. The Official Zoning Map of the City of Woodland shall be modified in accordance with this Ordinance to indicate thereon the zoning applicable to the Annexation Areas.

Section 4: Ordinance Necessary and Proper
This Ordinance is necessary and proper at this time, and is not likely to be detrimental to the adjacent property or residents, because the Ordinance is necessary to facilitate the annexation of property into the city which lies within the Sphere of Influence.

Section 5: No Mandatory Duty of Care
This ordinance is not intended to and shall not be construed or given effect in a manner that imposes upon the City or any officer or employee thereof a mandatory duty of care towards persons and property within or without the City, so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law.

Section 6: Severability
If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are severable.

This City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof and intends that the invalid portions should be severed and the balance of the ordinance be enforced.

Section 7: Savings Clause
The provisions of this ordinance shall not affect or impair an act done or right vested or approved or any proceeding, suit or prosecution had or commenced in any cause before such repeal shall take affect; but every such act done, or right vested or accrued, or proceeding, suit or prosecution shall remain in full force and affect to all intents and purposes as if such ordinance or part thereof so repealed had remained

Page 93 ends

in force. No offense committed and no liability, penalty or forfeiture, either civilly or criminally incurred prior to the time when any such ordinance or part thereof shall be repealed or altered by said Code shall be discharged or affected by such repeal or alteration; but prosecutions and suits for such offenses, liabilities, penalties or forfeitures shall be instituted and proceeded with in all respects as if such prior ordinance or part thereof had not been repealed or altered.

Section 8: Effective Date and Publication
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause a summary thereof to be published in the Daily Democrat, a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the City of Woodland and County of Yolo, at least five (5) days prior to the meeting at which the proposed ordinance is to be adopted and shall post a certified copy of the proposed ordinance in the office of the City Clerk, and within fifteen (15) days of its adoption, shall cause a summary of it to be published, including the vote for and against the same, and shall post a certified copy of the adopted ordinance in the office of the City Clerk, in accordance with California Government Code section 36933. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.

Annexations Initial Study AECOM
City of Woodland 1-1 Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW
The City of Woodland (City) has prepared this Initial Study to comprehensively assess the potential impacts associated with annexations of six (6) distinct locales, and identify applicable mitigation as appropriate to each annexation area. Each of the six areas proposed for annexation are within the City’s Sphere of Influence (SOI).

Annexation would include land use designations for each of the annexation areas that is consistent with the current land use designations under the City’s 2035 General Plan, but would not propose any development or other physical change to the proposed annexation areas.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) requires that all state and local government agencies consider the environmental consequences of projects they propose to carry out or over which they have discretionary authority, before implementing or approving those projects. The public agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project is the lead agency for CEQA compliance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15367); in this case, the City has principal responsibility for carrying out any development that would occur within the proposed annexation areas and is therefore the CEQA lead agency, though the Yolo Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) will also use this Environmental Checklist to fulfill its CEQA obligations in its role in approving annexations to the City.

California Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 provide an exemption from additional environmental review for projects that are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan or general plan policies for which an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 specifies that examination of environmental effects shall be limited to those effects that: a) are peculiar to the project or the parcel on which the project would be located; b) were not analyzed as significant effects in a prior EIR on the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, with which the project is consistent (including off-site or cumulative impacts); or c) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information that was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(c) further specifies that “if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the proposed project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards, then an additional EIR need not be prepared for that project solely on the basis of that impact.

In 2017, the City adopted the Findings of Fact and the Statement of Overriding Considerations, pursuant to the CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091 and 15093, and certified the Final EIR for the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan (CAP) (henceforth referred to at the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR). The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR addresses impacts associated with development of the City’s Planning Area, inclusive of all area within the City’s SOI. Although the proposed annexations would not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment, and may thereby be considered exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(b)(2), this initial study follows the format of Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines to comprehensively evaluate the proposed annexations relative to that assumed under the City’s 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As such, this

Page 115 ends

AECOM Annexations Initial Study
Introduction 1-2 City of Woodland
initial study has been prepared in accordance with the CEQA Guidelines to comprehensively demonstrate applicability of CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 and qualification for CEQA exemption, as well as isolate the effects of annexation and identify the applicable policies and implementation measures of the City’s 2035 General Plan and CAP that the City will impose as conditions for future project applications in the annexation areas to ensure compliance with these measures. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15150, relevant information from the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (State Clearinghouse Number 2013032015) (City of Woodland 2016a) is hereby incorporated by reference into this initial study, and should be considered as part of the information upon with this the evaluation of the proposed annexations under this initial study is based.

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ANNEXATIONS

1.3.1 ANNEXATION AREA LOCATIONS
The proposed project (proposed annexations) proposed by the City is to annex six distinct areas within the City’s SOI that are not currently within its limits, as shown in Exhibit 1-1. The proposed project does not include any application for development of these areas1. The proposed annexation areas were included in the City’s map of Opportunity Sites on page LU 2-7 of the City’s General Plan; the Opportunity Sites and the geographic information systems (GIS) data used to inform the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR assumed a range of employment densities in these areas. These land use change assumptions were used to prepare the rigorous environmental analysis that was included in the City’s 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR and to identify detailed mitigation requirements for future projects developed under the General Plan in the form of environmental policies and implementation programs (in General Plan Appendix A).

1.3.2 EXISTING AND PROPOSED LAND USE
The existing land use designations identified in the City’s General Plan and the existing zoning per the County of Yolo Zoning Code within each of the proposed annexation areas are listed in Table 1-1 below. The proposed annexations include prezoning for each annexation area, consistent with the current General Plan land use designations; zoning would become effective upon finalization of annexation.

Annexation Area 1: The majority of Barnard Street Annexation Area is undeveloped, but there is an existing fast-food restaurant as well as a gasoline station with attached convenience store in the northwest portion of the Barnard Street Annexation Area. County Road 99 (West Street) is the western boundary and Interstate 5 serves as the northwest to southeast boundary of the Barnard Street Annexation Area, with undeveloped and agricultural land to the north of Interstate-5. Undeveloped and agricultural land uses are to the west, southwest, and south of the Barnard Street Annexation Area. The land to the west and south is designated Flood Study Area by the City.

Annexation Area 2: Westucky Annexation Area consists of existing industrial uses and several existing homes throughout the annexation area. Surrounding the Westucky Annexation Area, land is designated Industrial to the north and west, Corridor Mixed Use to the south and Specific Plan-3A to the east.

1 An application for development within the Barnard Annexation Area (ZF #2020-0041 Chevron Gas Station and RFC2019-0033 Lakeview Petroleum, Arco Gas Station) is being reviewed by the County, including documentation under CEQA, as required.

Application review and, if approved, entitlement under the County is anticipated to be complete prior to any action by the City for annexation, although construction of this development may occur after annexation would be complete.

Annexation Area 3: Pirmi East Street Annexation Area is primarily developed with industrial/light industrial uses. A stormwater detention basin exists in the public-open space designated area in the northwest of the annexation area on land currently owned by the City of Woodland. Interstate 5 serves as the Pirmi East Street Annexation Area’s northern perimeter and the southern perimeter that runs northwest to southeast Union Pacific Railroad tracks are adjacent to. Land east of the annexation area is designated by the City as Regional Commercial and Corridor Mixed Use/Light Industrial Overlay to the east; land to the west is designated as Corridor Mixed Use/Light Industrial Overlay and a small area of Flood Study Area in the northwest; land to the south is designated Low Density Residential and Corridor Mixed Use.

Annexation Area 4: Sports Park Annexation Area is currently developed as a community park with a baseball field and minor supporting infrastructure. The surround open space to the east and south is outside the Woodland City Limit but is within the City’s SOI and is designated by the City as Specific Plan (1C). State Route 113 runs southwest to northeast near the Sports Park Annexation Area eastern boundary. Land to the west is designated by the City as Public/Quasi-Public and includes the City’s Community and Senior Center. Land to the north across

Page 118 ends

Annexations Initial Study AECOM
City of Woodland 1-5 Introduction
Sports Park Drive is designated by the City as Low-Density Residential and contains single-family residential homes.

Annexation Area 5: Drainage Annexation Area consists of approximately 23.5 acres. It sits in the eastern portion of the city and is bounded by the Woodland-Davis Clean Water agency to the south, private land to the north, an unnamed road to the east, and private land to the west. The parcel is largely undeveloped apart from some access roads. Surrounding land use is utilized by the Clean Water Agency and commercial activities.

Annexation Area 6: Northeast Annexation Area is approximately 635 acres in the northeastern portion of the City’s SOI. Land within the Northeast Annexation Area is predominantly undeveloped, with just under 40 acres of industrial development directly northwest of the intersection of East Main Street and County Road 102, and an existing drainage basin within the parcel north of East Beamer Street and West of County Road 102. The majority of the Northeast Annexation Area is designated by the City as Industrial, with the easternmost portion running from the northwest to the southeast designated as Flood Study Area. Land to the east and south of the Northeast Annexation Area is designated as Industrial and Regional Commercial with a Light Industrial Overlay.

Annexations of the proposed areas would be consistent with the City’s planning assumption over the horizon of the 2035 General Plan, would include prezoning consistent with the 2035 General Plan land use designations for the respective areas, and would not propose any land use designation changes nor physical changes within the proposed annexation areas.

1.4 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Section 2 of this document contains the evaluation and discussion of potential environmental impacts of the proposed annexations. The analysis in this Environmental Checklist concludes that the proposed annexations would have no physical impacts on the environment. In addition, the analysis in this Environmental Checklist has identified mitigation measures in the form of uniformly applied development standards that would apply to all future development within the annexation areas and consistent with the land use designations proposed for each annexation area.

Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the proposed annexations qualify for an exemption because they would be consistent with the following CEQA requirements:
► The proposed annexations would be consistent with the development type and density established by existing land use designations under the General Plan policies for which an EIR was certified in 2017. ► There would be no effects which are peculiar to the proposed annexations or annexation areas that were not otherwise identified under the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. ► There would not be potentially significant off-site and/or cumulative impacts that the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR failed to evaluate.
► There is no substantial new information that would result in more severe impacts than anticipated by the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR.
► The proposed annexations would be subject to uniformly applied policies, regulations, and development standards that implement the 2035 General Plan, as applicable to any future development located within the

annexation areas. Where the 2035 General Plan includes policies and implementation programs developed for the purposes of minimizing and avoiding environmental impacts and that would not be otherwise enforced through existing regulations, the City would enforce implementation of such policies and implementation programs through Conditions of Approval or requirements incorporated within the respective Development Agreements (see Appendix A).

As such, further environmental review is not required by CEQA for the proposed annexations. The City, as a part of the annexations, has conditioned the approval of the annexations on the implementation of applicable Conditions of Approval and/or requirements included within respective Development Agreements to ensure that all policies from the City’s General Plan developed for the purpose of minimizing and avoiding environmental impacts, and not otherwise achieved through uniformly applied policies, regulations, and development standards, are implemented in the case that any future development is proposed within an annexation area.

1.5 APPROVALS
Approvals associated with the proposed annexations include the City’s approval of the request to annex for each annexation area (may be individually by annexation area or otherwise grouped), a General Plan amendment to adjust the city limit, and prezoning consistent with the City’s General Plan The proposed annexation(s) would also be reviewed by the LAFCo for approval to annex each proposed annexation area to the City and prezoning.

Zoning would become effective upon finalization of annexation.

1.6 DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION
This Initial Study is organized into three sections:
► Section 1, “Introduction and Project Description,” describes the purpose and content of this Initial Study, provides the project location, project objectives, and detailed project description and phasing, and summarizes the findings as determined by the analysis contained in Section 2 of this initial study. ► Section 2, “Environmental Evaluation,” contains the completed environmental checklist, following the format of Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The checklist contains an assessment and discussion of impacts associated with each particular environmental issue. In addition, while the proposed annexations do not propose any physical development or to alter the land in any way, each impact discussion acknowledges the planned development of the City’s Planning Area, consistent with the 2035 General Plan Update and inclusive of the proposed annexation areas. For this purpose, the applicable General Plan and CAP policies and related mitigation measures or uniformly applied development standards from the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR are also identified as conditions of approval of future proposed development within the annexation areas, as applicable, and provided as Appendix A to this initial study. ► Section 3, “References,” identifies the information sources used in preparing this initial study.

DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:

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

No
I find that although the proposed project COULD have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.

No
I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

No
I find that the proposed project MAY have a “potentially significant impact” or “potentially significant unless mitigated” impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier ana lysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.

No
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required.

City of Woodland 2-3 Environmental Checklist

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except “No Impact” answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A “No Impact” answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the projec t 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 signi ficant. 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 cross-referenced).

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.

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

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

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

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

City of Woodland 2.1-1 Aesthetics

2.1 AESTHETICS
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR found that aesthetic impacts associated with effects on a scenic vista would be less than significant. As discussed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR Impact 4.1-1 (pages 4.1- 20 through 4.1-22), Woodland’s relatively flat topography results in few scenic vistas. Views consist mainly of the farmland surrounding the built environment seen from some adjacent properties at the urban edge, as well as limited views of the Coastal Ranges from the western edge of the City’s Planning Area. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR concluded that although views may be obstructed in localized areas due to proposed new development, views would not be affected on an area-wide basis. In addition, the Yolo County 2030 General Plan includes policies to protect farmland outside of incorporated cities’ SOIs.

The annexation areas are located in an area where rural landscapes abut urban development. Agricultural lands are visible from the annexation areas, but urban development is also located immediately adjacent to the annexation areas. While limited views of the North Coast Range can be seen from Annexation Area 1, and the open space and farmland surrounding the other annexation areas could be considered scenic vistas to those on local roadways and adjacent properties in the vicinity, the flat topography in these areas makes views primarily limited to the near- and mid-distance landscape features. Similarly, vegetation to the east of the Northeast Annexation Area includes riparian woodland east of the drainage canal that parallels the eastern perimeter of the annexation area and obscures any potential scenic vistas to the east.

No existing scenic vistas are within the annexation areas, nor are the annexation areas within existing scenic vistas of surrounding parcels. Thus, there would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required. b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR found that aesthetic impacts associated with effects on scenic resources within a State scenic highway would be less than significant. There are no State-designated scenic highways in Yolo County (California Department of Transportation 2021). Old River Road, locally designated as a scenic highway by Yolo County, parallels the west side of the Sacramento River from the southern end of the Sacramento Bypass north to the Fremont Weir and is more than 5 miles east of the easternmost proposed annexation areas (e.g., the Water Plant and Northeast Area Annexation Areas) (Yolo County 2009). Because of the flat topography in the region, Old River Road is not visible from the Northeast Annexation Area, which is the furthest east of the proposed annexation areas. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR identifies scenic resources within the Downtown Woodland Historic District, including many structures that are listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. However, the Downtown District is not located in the immediate vicinity of and cannot be viewed from the annexation areas. Thus, there would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required. c) In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized

area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality?
No Impact. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR found that aesthetic impacts associated with the existing visual character or quality to be significant. The proposed annexation areas are within the City’s Urban Limit Line and adjacent to or surrounded by urbanized areas. The current zoning applicable to the annexation areas is that of the Yolo County Zoning Code, as the areas are currently outside the Woodland City Limit. Current Yolo County Zoning and the City’s General Plan Land Use Designations for the annexation areas are provided in Table 2-1.

The 2035 General Plan proposes land use designations for all parcels within the City’s Planning Area, including on unincorporated county land within the City’s SOI. Yolo County has jurisdiction over unincorporated land in the County, including the proposed annexation areas, but annexation requires no discretionary review by the County as land that is within the City’s SOI, so the County’s policies and standards do not apply.

Annexation of the proposed areas would be consistent with the City’s planning assumption over the horizon of the 2035 General Plan and would not propose any land use designation changes from that presented in the 2035 General Plan, nor development projects within the proposed annexation areas. Therefore, the visual character and quality of the annexation areas would not change as a result of annexation into the Woodland City Limits and there would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not

addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. As discussed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR Impact 4.1-3 (pages 4.1-25 through 4.1-31), much of the new development in the City would be of a similar type and mass, and of an equal or higher quality design than the development that already exists. The City of Woodland Community Design Standards reduce impacts on the visual character and quality of the City by establishing site planning and architectural design standards for new development and modifications to existing buildings. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR concluded that, despite proposed policies and implementation programs, implementation of the 2035 General Plan would still accommodate development in new growth areas that would inherently change Woodland’s visual character. The General Plan includes numerous policies that promote high quality design to ensure that new urban development in the City is visually attractive and aesthetically pleasing. The City’s design review process ensures new development is consistent with the design standards outlined in the 2035 General Plan and the City’s Community Design Standards current at the time of any future project application for development within the proposed annexation areas.
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area?
No Impact. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR found that aesthetic impacts associated with new sources of light or glare adversely affecting day or night views to be significant. The proposed annexation areas are along the periphery of the existing Woodland City Limits, but within the City’s Urban Limit Line. Each of the annexation areas includes some level of urban development at one or more adjacent perimeters. Proposed annexations do not include any development or other sources of light or glare. Thus, there would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. As discussed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR Impact 4.1-4 (pages 4.1-32 through 4.1-33), the City anticipates that new development could produce light and glare in areas that currently do not experience these effects. General Plan Policies 2.F.4 and 2.F.5 were identified as new policies to implement as mitigation to address potential new sources of substantial light or glare with buildout of the 2035 General Plan.

These policies require the control of artificial lighting to avoid spill-over and prevent glare. Section 9 of the City’s Engineering Standards: Design Standards, Standard Details and Construction Specifications (City of Woodland 2016b) include requirements for lighting values for each type of street; street light locations, types, and spacing; poles; mast arm lengths; service connections; pull boxes; and conductors. Lighting requirements are also set forth in the City’s Community Design Standards (2004). Furthermore, future development must include improvement plans for City review of proposed street lighting. The City of Woodland Municipal Code Section 17.92.060(f) and the City’s Interim Zoning Code Article 3 also contain design regulations and performance standards for lighting and glare. These design standards and local codes would serve as uniformly applied development standards of any future proposed development within the annexation areas, as detailed in Appendix A, Table A-1, thereby ensuring consistency with the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR.

2.2 AGRICULTURE & FORESTRY RESOURCES
a) 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 non-agricultural use? No Impact. As discussed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR Impact 4.2-1 (pages 4.2-28 through 4.1-36), development in new growth areas within the City’s Planning Area would convert farmland, including Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, or Farmland of Local Importance, to urban land uses. Proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or physical alteration of the land in any way. Thus, there would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. General Plan Policy 2.A.1 establishes an Urban Limit Line (ULL) that permanently circumscribes urban development and complies with provisions for protection of agricultural lands. The proposed annexation areas are located inside the City’s Urban Limit Line. The 2035 General Plan included site-specific conversion of this farmland to urban land uses as shown in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR Figure 2-5, “Land Use Diagram” (page LU 2-33 of the 2035 General Plan). The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR concluded that, despite proposed policies, implementation of the 2035 General Plan would still accommodate development in new growth areas that would convert farmland, including Important Farmland, defined as Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Local Importance, to urban uses. As shown in Table 2-2, based on the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (2016) and information in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (pages 4.2-2 to 4.2-3), Prime Farmland associated with the proposed annexation areas is within the Barnard Street Annexation Area, Sports Park Annexation Area, and Northeast Annexation Area. Lands within the Drainage Annexation Area and Northeast Annexation Area are also identified as Urban and Built-up Land, Farmland of Local Importance, and Farmland of Local Potential; these lands are not prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide potential.

Agricultural Resources 2.2-2 City of Woodland
The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR Mitigation Measure 4.2-1 recommending new General Plan Policy 2.A.3 (requiring for every acre of farmland that is converted, an acre of that same type (or better) of farmland will be conserved) was adopted as part of the 2035 General Plan. Chapter 15.33 of the City of Woodland Municipal Code implements Policy 2.A.3 of the 2035 General Plan, requiring that, for every acre converted to urban development, one acre of mitigation will be required (1:1 ratio); agricultural mitigation land must be of same quality of land or higher than the land being converted; and specified agricultural mitigation lands must be located wholly within Yolo County. 2 In addition, Yolo LAFCo prepared a municipal service review and SOI study for the City of Woodland (Yolo LAFCo 2019) and determined that:
“Development of the proposed SOI would result in the loss of prime agricultural land. However, most of Yolo County is fertile agricultural soils and it is difficult to expand the City’s footprint without impacting agricultural land and the City’s Urban Limit Line preempts any uncontrolled sprawl. The City’s General Plan Environmental Impact Report mitigates for this loss consistent with LAFCo policies and concludes that this loss is significant and unavoidable.” The City of Woodland Ordinance No. 1642, to implement the agricultural land conservation policies contained in the City of Woodland 2035 General Plan with a program designed to permanently protect agricultural land located in Yolo County, as implemented by the City of Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.33, would serve as a uniformly applied development standard, as provided in Appendix A, Table A-1, for any future proposed development that would convert existing farmland within the annexation areas. General Plan Policy 7.C.5 requires new development that occurs at the edge of the ULL (i.e., eastern portion of the Northeast Annexation Area) to accommodate an agricultural buffer; this policy would be implemented as a Condition of Approval of future proposed development within the annexation areas, as applicable, as detailed in Appendix A, Table A-2. b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The annexations will be approved by the City and will not need any approval from Yolo County that relates to the existing zoning of the annexation areas. Annexation of the proposed areas would be consistent with the City’s planning assumption over the horizon of the 2035 General Plan and would not propose any land use designation changes. In addition, as identified in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (Exhibit 4.2-2, page 4.2-9), no lands are under Williamson Act contract within the proposed annexation areas. Therefore, the proposed annexations would not conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use or a Williamson Act contract that would lead to any adverse impact under CEQA, and there would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required. c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code

2 Chapter 15.33 states that the determination of quality will be based on the most current classification from the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) of the California Department of Conservation, Division of Land Resource Protection and take into consideration any utilization of the property that may have changed the farmland quality.

section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))?
No Impact. None of the annexation areas are zoned as forest land, timberland, or a Timberland Production Zone.

Therefore, the proposed annexations would not conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land or timberland. There would be no impact.
d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. The annexation areas are within the City of Woodland’s Urban Limit Line. While some of the annexation areas are undeveloped, they do not contain timberland as defined by Public Resources Code Section 4526 or contain 10 percent native tree cover that would be classified as forestland under Public Resources Code Section 12220(g). In addition, the proposed annexations do not propose any development or other alteration of the physical environment. Thus, the annexations would not result in conversion of forest land to non-forest use. Thus, there would be no impact.
e) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use?
No Impact. Urban development can result in direct and indirect impacts on agricultural. This impact focuses on the indirect effects. Urban development has the potential to divide large tracts of agricultural land leaving smaller, less viable tracts of land for farming. Urban development can result in conflicts at the urban edge with adjacent agricultural practices, and lead to restrictions on the use of agricultural chemicals, complaints regarding noise, dust and odors, trespassing, and vandalism. The Yolo County Agricultural Commissioner requires a buffer between pesticide application and environmentally sensitive areas, including residential developments, as explained in the Regulatory Settings. The farmer has responsibility for providing this buffer, and therefore the buffer potentially limits the amount of land that can be used for agriculture.

These conflicts may increase costs of agricultural operations and, together with other factors, encourage the conversion of additional farmland to urban uses. In addition, urban growth may increasingly compete with agriculture for the use of water resources, and may conflict with farm-to-market use and/or operational use of area roadways.

As stated in item d) above, there is no forest land within the proposed annexation areas. The direct conversion of farmland within the annexation areas is addressed in item c) above. As explained above, the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change. Therefore, there would be no other changes in the existing environment that could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non-forest use. There would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

Any potential future development, as accounted for within the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR for opportunity areas, including the proposed annexation areas, would occur within the City’s SOI and Urban Limit Line, and therefore would not divide large agricultural tracts in any way not already accounted for under the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR or addressed by General Plan Policy and mitigation, as addressed under item a) above.

City of Woodland 2.3-1 Air Quality

2.3 AIR QUALITY
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? No Impact. Air quality plans describe air pollution control strategies to be implemented by a city, county, or regional air district. The primary purpose of an air quality plan is to bring an area that does not attain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and California Ambient Air Quality Standard (CAAQS) into compliance with those standards pursuant to the requirements of the Clean Air Act and California Clean Air Act.

The Yolo-Solano Air quality Management District (YSAQMD) is responsible for preparing air quality attainment plans for each criteria pollutant that does not meet the standard. Air quality attainment plans (AQAPs) are transmitted to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for incorporation into the State Implementation Plan (SIP), a comprehensive plan that describes how an area will attain and maintain the NAAQS for complying with the federal Clean Air Act.

A project is non-conforming with an air quality plan if it conflicts with or delays implementation of any applicable attainment or maintenance plan. YSAQMD recommends that an evaluation for consistency with the AQAP and SIP consider consistency with the AQAP and SIP population and vehicle use projections and AQAP and SIP transportation control measures, as well as a consideration of buffer zones around sources of odors and toxics (YSAQMD 2007). The proposed annexations would not result in a change in any population or vehicle use from that analyzed under the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR and would not include any proposed development.

Therefore, the proposed annexations would have no bearing on the implementation of applicable air quality plans.

There would be no impact Therefore, there are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. While, as explained above, the proposed annexations would not include any development, any future proposed development within the annexation areas would be required to comply with all applicable rules and regulations, including YSAMD Rules and Regulations and permitting requirements for any stationary sources, adopted for the purposes of reducing air pollutant emissions and supporting regional attainment of the CAAQS and NAAQS pursuant to the AQAP and SIP. Adopted YSAQMD rules and regulations, as well as the YSAQMD-recommended thresholds of significance, have been developed with the intent to ensure continued attainment, or work toward attainment, of the NAAQS and CAAQS, consistent with the air quality plans. By exceeding the YSAQMD’s mass emission thresholds, a project may be considered to conflict with or obstruct implementation of the YSAQMD air quality planning efforts. Impacts 4.3-1 and 4.3-2 (pages 4.3-21 through 4.3-33) of the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR identify General Plan and CAP policies and additional mitigation measures with which future development must comply, as applicable. These policies and mitigation measures would serve as conditions of approval for future development, and are summarized in Appendix A, Table A-2, as they pertain to item b) below.

b) 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?
No Impact. The nonattainment status of regional pollutants is a result of past and present development within the Sacramento Valley Air Basin, and this regional impact is cumulative in nature rather than being attributable to any one source. A single project’s emissions may be individually limited, by could be cumulatively considerable when considered in combination with past, present, and future emissions sources within the air basin. The YSAQMD has established project-level construction and operational emissions thresholds of significance for reactive organic gases (ROG), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microns (PM10). As identified in the YSAQMD Handbook for Assessing and Mitigating Air Quality Impacts, “[a]ny proposed project that would individually have an air quality impact [as identified by the project-level thresholds of significance] would also be considered to have a significant cumulative impact.” (YSAQMD 2007).

Therefore, if a project’s emissions are below the YSAQMD thresholds of significance, the project is not considered to result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant impact on regional air quality.

As described above, the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change that would result in a net increase in criteria air pollutant or ozone precursor emissions. There would be no impact.

Therefore, there are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA re view is required.

The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR assumes development within the annexation areas, with the exception of the areas designated as Flood Study Area (i.e., within the Barnard Street Annexation Area, Pirmi Annexation Area, and Northeast Annexation Area), based upon the 2035 General Plan land use designations and development density assumptions. While, as explained above, the proposed annexations would not include any development, any future development within the annexation areas could result in a net increase in short-term and/or long-term emissions of criteria air pollutants or ozone precursors for which the project region is in non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard.

Impacts 4.3-1 and 4.3-2 (pages 4.3-21 through 4.3-33) of the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR identify General Plan and CAP policies and additional mitigation measures, including General Plan Policy 7.F.2 and Implementation Program 7.18, with which future development must comply, as applicable, to reduce criteria air pollutant and ozone precursor emissions associated with future projects. For Industrial land use, Woodland’s Municipal Code Section 17.92.060(B) requires a conditional use permit for any use that could generate offensive or objectionable dust, fumes, noise, odors, smoke, or vibration offensive or objectionable beyond the premises. In addition, applicable to Industrial/Light Industrial Flex zones, the City’s Interim Zoning Section 3.11.B.5 requires construction best management practices to minimize dust. Finally, the YSAQMD Rules and Regulations are also applicable to all projects within the City of Woodland and have been developed and adopted by the YSAQMD for the purposes of improving air quality and minimizing criteria air pollutant emissions from existing and future construction and operations within the region in order to attain and maintain the applicable CAAQS and NAAQS.

These City regulations and YSAQMD Rules and Regulations would ensure compliance with General Plan Policy

7.F.2. However, General Plan Implementation Program 7.18 includes additional requirements not otherwise included in the above noted regulations; this Program would serve as a Conditions of Approval for future development, as provided in Appendix A, Table A-2.

City of Woodland 2.3-3 Air Quality
c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? No Impact. As explained under Section 2.3.2 above, the proposed annexations would not result in a net increase in air pollutant emissions. Therefore, the proposed annexations would not result in carbon monoxide hotspots, substantial short-term or long-term generation of diesel particulate matter emissions in proximity to sensitive receptors, or other substantial emissions sources that would expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. There would be no impact. Therefore, here are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations would not include any proposed development or physically alter the land in any way that would result in a net increase in air pollutant emissions, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. Potential future projects within the annexation areas could result in the generation of air pollutant emissions, including those that could result in the exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations.

Children, pregnant women, the elderly, those with existing health conditions, and athletes or others who engage in frequent exercise are especially vulnerable to the effects of air pollution. Accordingly, land uses that are typically considered sensitive receptors include schools, daycare centers, parks and playgrounds, and medical facilities.

Residential areas are considered sensitive to air pollution because residents (including children and the elderly) tend to be at home for extended periods of time, resulting in sustained exposure to pollutants present. Recreational land uses are considered moderately sensitive to air pollution. Exercise places a high demand on respiratory functions, which can be impaired by air pollution, even though exposure periods during exercise are generally short. In addition, noticeable air pollution can detract from the enjoyment of recreation. Industrial and commercial areas are considered the least sensitive to air pollution. Exposure periods are relatively short and intermittent as the majority of the workers tend to stay indoors most of the time.

The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (pages 4.3-33 to 4.3-35) discusses potential impacts related to generation of local mobile-source emissions of carbon monoxide near roadway intersections within the General Plan. Although transport of carbon monoxide is extremely limited because it disperses rapidly with distance from the source under normal meteorological conditions, under specific meteorological conditions, carbon monoxide concentrations near roadways may reach unhealthy levels for local sensitive land uses. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR evaluated the potential for future hotspots using a screening analysis and considering buildout of the City’s Planning Area, and determined that the impact from potential carbon monoxide hotspots would be less than significant.

Heavy-duty construction equipment, haul trucks, on-site generators, and construction worker vehicles associated with construction could generate diesel PM (DPM), which the CARB has identified as a toxic air contaminant (TAC). The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (pages 4.3-35 to 4.3-36) discusses potential impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors to construction-related TACs due to buildout of the General Plan. Although transport of TACs is extremely limited because it disperses rapidly with distance from the source and exposure duration would be limited to temporary periods of construction, the exact location with respect to sensitive receptors and length of construction activities could not be determined at the time of the analysis of the General Plan. Therefore, it was conservatively assumed that certain construction activities could expose sensitive receptors to substantial TAC concentrations and this impact of the General Plan was considered potentially significant.

AECOM Annexations Initial Study
Air Quality 2.3-4 City of Woodland
The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (pages 4.3-37 to 4.3-45) discusses potential impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors to operational TACs. To analyze potential impacts due to proximity of sensitive receptors to roadways, the General Plan EIR used the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality District (SMAQMD) Recommended Protocol for Evaluating the Location of Sensitive Land Uses Adjacent to Major Roadways guidance, which is consistent with the CARB recommendations in the CARB Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health Perspective (CARB 2005), and with detailed guidance for the Sacramento region (SMAQMD 2011). The protocol states that if the nearest sensitive receptor’s increase in individual cancer risk is lower than the evaluation criterion of 276 cases per million, no further roadway-related air quality evaluation is recommended. Based on analysis within the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR, the General Plan was found to be consistent with the protocol recommendations, and no adverse health risks were anticipated from the roadways in the City’s Planning Area.

The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR also discusses potential impacts related to exposure of sensitive receptors to operational TACs due to proximity to operational sources of TACs associated with specific future land uses.

Operational activities that require the use of diesel-fueled vehicles for extended periods, such as commercial trucking facilities or delivery/distribution areas, may generate emissions that could expose sensitive receptors to DPM emissions. In addition, it is possible that projects developed under the General Plan would include stationary sources of TACs, such as gasoline-dispensing facilities and diesel-fueled backup generators. Stationary sources in the City’s Planning Area would be permitted and regulated to prevent land use compatibility conflicts with existing uses. However, because the actual proposed uses had not been determined at the time of the analysis for the General Plan, it was assumed possible that future development planned under the General Plan could generate substantial TAC emissions as a result of long-term operations and that existing and future sensitive land uses could be exposed to substantial TAC concentrations and this impact of the General Plan was considered potentially significant.

The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR identified General Plan Policies 7.F.2 and 7.F.3. and Mitigation Measures

4.3-3c and 4.3-3d (implemented as part of the Final General Plan as Implementation Programs 7.17 and 7.19, respectively). As explained for Air Quality impact discussion b) above, City policies and YSAQMD Rules and Regulations would ensure compliance with General Plan Policy 7.F.2. However, General Plan Policy 7.F.3 and Implementation Programs 7.17 and 7.19 would be required as Conditions of Approval of future proposed development within the annexation areas to both reduce the generation of TAC emissions and reduce exposure of sensitive receptors to such TAC emission, as provided in Appendix A, Table A-2. d) Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people?
No Impact. YSAQMD has developed a list of facilities that are known producers of odors where more analysis may be warranted or where greater distance should separate a project from the odor source. Those facilities include, but are not limited to, wastewater treatment facilities, chemical manufacturing, sanitary landfills, transfer stations, painting/coating operations (e.g., auto body shops), and food processing facilities. The proposed annexations due not include any development, and therefore would not result in the establishment of any other emissions sources, such as those leading to odors. There would be no impact. Therefore, there are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change that would result in a net increase in air pollutant emissions, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. The 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR (pages 4.3-45 to 4.3-48) discusses potential impacts related to exposure of a substantial number of people to objectionable odors. The General Plan EIR identified construction of proposed land uses as well as diesel-fueled trucks traveling on local roadways as a minor source of odors that would generate exhaust odors from diesel engines. The construction activities would also generate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions associated with asphalt paving and the application of architectural coatings, which may be considered offensive odors to some individuals. However, because odors associated with diesel fumes would be temporary and would disperse rapidly with distance from the source, construction-generated and mobile-source odors would not result in the frequent exposure of on-site receptors to objectionable odor emissions. The General Plan EIR also identified operational sources of odors, such as garbage collection areas and charbroilers associated with commercial uses as potential minor sources of odors relevant that may be relevant to the existing or future development within the proposed annexation areas. These are known to have some temporary, less concentrated odorous emissions, but not uses that are typically associated with numerous odor complaints. The General Plan EIR concluded that compliance with permitting requirements, air district rules and regulations, and state and local requirements would reduce potential odor-related impacts, and accounted for compatible uses in the land use planning to support the 2035 General Plan Update. The proposed annexations would not propose any changes to the land use designations of the 2035 General Plan and therefore would be consistent with the development assumptions used to inform the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR.

2.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
Since the adoption of the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR, the Yolo Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)/Natural Community Conservation Planning (NCCP) was adopted in 2018, and incidental take permits were issued in 2019 (CDFW 2019). Because the proposed annexation areas are within the Yolo HCP/NCCP coverage area, any future projects within the proposed annexation areas, regardless of annexation status, would be subject to the HCP/NCCP; this would include applying for the HCP/NCCP coverage and payment of relevant fees prior to issuance of a grading permit, as well as carrying out species-specific preconstruction surveys, as applicable, and implementing all relevant avoidance and minimization measures (AMMs) from the HCP/NCCP. a) 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 and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
No Impact. Land use development can directly or indirectly adversely affect species through destruction of active nests and other direct harm or degradation or loss of suitable or occupied habitat. As the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or physical alteration of the land in any way, they do not have the potential to adversely affect any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). There would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. A reconnaissance-level biological resources survey for the proposed annexation areas was conducted on September 7 and September 8, 2021. The purpose of the survey was to evaluate habitats, map land cover, and identify sensitive biological resources present within the proposed annexation areas. The detailed methodology and results are provided as a Biological Resources Memorandum for the Woodland Annexations (AECOM 2021a).

As detailed in the Biological Survey Report, based on the literature review and nearby records, as well as the results of the field surveys, four species were deemed to have high potential occurrence in the annexation areas.

Specifically, the annexation areas, with the exception of the Westucky Annexation Area, contain grassland and agricultural areas that may provide suitable foraging habitat for Swainson’s hawk, burrowing owl, and tricolored blackbird, as well as emergent wetlands and/or ditches that may provide suitable nesting habitat for tricolored blackbird and/or burrowing owl. Some ditch banks in the project area, specifically within the NE and Sports Park Annexation areas, were observed to have small mammal burrows present, potentially suitable for burrowing owl use. All these burrows appeared inactive at the time of the survey. Nest trees for Swainson’s hawk within the project area a virtually absent, however, they are plentiful in the form of shade trees along parcel-side roads, the most notable concentration of which occurring within the Westucky Annexation Area and adjacent areas.

Wetlands in the study area, particularly irrigation ditches containing standing water, may also provide suitable habitat for giant garter snake. All four species have numerous records within 3 miles of the proposed annexation areas and are species are covered under the Yolo HCP/NCCP (Ascent 2018).

Based on the results of the biological reconnaissance survey and literature review, the trees, irrigation ditches, vegetation, and agricultural fields present in and around the proposed project area could also provide marginally suitable nesting substrate for migratory birds covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). The MBTA prohibits the killing, possessing, or trading of migratory birds, and essentially all native bird species in California are covered by the MBTA. Migratory bird and raptor nests are protected further by Sections 3503 and 3503.5, respectively, of the California Fish and Game code. Common raptors that could nest on or near the proposed annexation areas include red-tailed hawk, great horned owl, and barn owl. If trees were to be removed during the raptor breeding season (February – August), mortality of eggs and chicks of tree-nesting raptors could result if an active next were present. In addition, construction could disturb active nests near a construction area, potentially resulting in nest abandonment by the adults and mortality of chicks and eggs.

Potential affects to the special-status species above and migratory birds covered by the MBTA may be minimized by avoiding impacts to wetlands and conducting nesting bird surveys prior to ground disturbing activities. As noted above, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas, and the proposed annexations would not propose and land use designations inconsistent with that of the 2035 General Plan Land Use Plan. Because the proposed annexation areas are within the Yolo HCP/NCCP coverage area, any future projects within the proposed annexation areas would be required to individually apply for HCP/NCCP coverage prior to grading permit issuance. Developers for each individual project would be responsible for applying for the HCP/NCCP coverage and payment of relevant fees. Each project proponent would be required to carry out species-specific preconstruction surveys in accordance with the conditions of approval described below and included in Appendix A to this initial study.

General Plan Policy 7.B.11 and Implementation Program 7.4 minimize potential impacts to any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species. Local, state and federal regulations are in place to ensure compliance with these policies, including the City of Woodland Tree Ordinance (City of Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 12.48), City of Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.32 for the implementation of the Yolo HCP/NCCP, California Fish and Game Code Section 3505 for the protection of bird nests and raptors, and the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. As the Yolo HCP/NCCP has been adopted since the adoption of the 2035 General Plan, to supplement Implementation Program 7.4, the AMMs of the HCP/NCCP would also be applicable to the proposed annexation areas; specifically, AMMs 16 and 18 would be applicable to the proposed annexation areas. In addition, and as explained above, compliance with the MBTA is required by law; Compliance Measure 1 is included in Appendix A, Table A-1, outlining the details of compliance requirements by law of any future proposed development within the annexation areas in order to avoid direct loss of protected birds. Compliance with City of Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.32 shall be a Condition of Approval of any future development projects within the proposed annexation areas to ensure compliance with the Yolo HCP/NCCP and the aforementioned AMM’s, regardless of whether discretionary approval is required. Appendix A contains the applicable mitigating policies and regulations in Table A-1 and the Condition of Approval for compliance with the Yolo HCP/NCCP in Table A-2. Additional detail for each individual annexation area is also provided in the Biological Survey Memorandum (AECOM 2021a).
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. CDFW maintains a list of plant communities that are native to California (CDFW 2020). Within that list, CDFW identifies special-status plant communities (a.k.a. sensitive natural communities), which they define

as communities that are of limited distribution statewide or within a county or region and often vulnerable to environmental effects of projects; these are afforded consideration as sensitive habitats under CEQA. Oak woodland, riparian, and wetland habitats are considered sensitive natural communities by CDFW (CDFW 2020).

Riparian and wetland habitats are also protected by the State under the CDFW Code Section 1600 to 1607.

Additionally, the importance of protecting and preserving wetland and riparian habitats is recognized in the County’s General Plan policies (Ascent 2018). As the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or physical alteration of the land in any way, they do not have the potential to adversely affect any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by CDFW or USFWS. There would be no impact. There are no impacts that are peculiar to the proposed annexations that were not addressed in the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR. As provided by CEQA Guidelines Section 15183(b), no additional CEQA review is required.

While the proposed annexations do not include any proposed development or any physical change, the 2035 General Plan and CAP EIR accounts for potential development within opportunity areas, which include the proposed annexation areas. The State of California, through the Oak Woodland Conservation Act, also considers oak woodland preservation important. The proposed project encompasses approximately 11.41 acres of land cover types considered to be sensitive habitat. These include Fresh Emergent Wetland, Valley Foothill Riparian, and Valley Oak Woodland. Specifically, as detailed in the Biological Resources Memorandum (AECOM 2021a), Valley foothill riparian landcover is present in the Pirmi East Street Annexation Area and Sports Park Annexation Area. Approximately 1.99 acres total of features mapped as valley foothill riparian woodland are present within these two annexation areas; such features did not abut standing water, but rather, features mapped as fresh emergent wetlands. Freshwater emergent wetland type is typically associated with level to gently rolling landscapes along rivers, lakes, and creeks, but can be found anywhere the topography permits perennial or seasonal soil saturation or flooding by fresh water. Saline emergent wetlands are also included in this category in the HCP. Areas mapped as Fresh Emergent Wetland in the project area vary widely in topography and vegetative communities, although the most common feature is an irrigation ditch. Most areas mapped were done so based on vegetation alone, although a few contained standing water at the time of the survey. Based on the results of the field study and database review, future proposed development within the annexation areas would be subject to the 2035 General Plan Policies 7.B.8 and 7.B.11 and Implementation Programs 7.5 and 7.6. City of Woodland Community Design Standards and Municipal Code Chapter 12.48 (Woodland Tree Ordinance) address the requirements of General Plan Policy 7.B.8, and requirements under California Fish and Game Code Section 1602 address Implementation Program 7.6, as shown in Appendix A, Table A-1. As detailed under Biological Resource impact discussion a) above, compliance with the City of Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.32 shall be required of any future proposed development projects, by-right or discretionary, as a Condition of Approval, as detailed in Appendix A, Table A-2.
c) 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?
No Impact. There are approximately 9.12 acres of freshwater emergent wetland land cover mapped within the annexation areas, specifically within Pirmi East Street, Sports Park, Water Plant, and Northeast Annexation Areas. Freshwater emergent wetland type is typically associated with level to gently rolling landscapes along rivers, lakes, and creeks, but can be found anywhere the topography permits perennial or seasonal soil saturation or flooding by fresh water. Saline emergent wetlands are also included in this category in the HCP. Areas mapped as Fresh Emergent Wetland in the project area vary widely in topography and vegetative communities, although
