1.4 Project Location
The City of Woodland is located in central Yolo County, approximately 72 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. The city of Davis is approximately 7 miles to the south, and the city of Sacramento is approximately 20 miles to the southeast. Woodland is considered part of the Sacramento metropolitan area. The city encompasses 15.3 square miles (9,792 acres). Much of the city is situated along California State Route 113 (SR 113) and is traversed by Interstate 5 (I-5) (City of Woodland 2019). The Zoning Code Update planning boundaries include all land within the Woodland city limits, as shown in Figure 1.

1.5 Project Summary
The project consists of a comprehensive update to the City of Woodland Zoning Code (herein referred to as “Zoning Code Update” or “project”). The project would bring the City’s Zoning Code into compliance with California Government Code Section 65860(a), which requires that a jurisdiction’s zoning ordinance be consistent with its General Plan and subsequent updates to its General Plan, and aims to streamline residential development while also encouraging infill development in accordance with the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation and General Plan 2035.Therefore, the City is proposing to amend its existing Zoning Code to ensure compatibility with its adopted General Plan (adopted May 2017) and to bring the Zoning Code into consistency with the adopted land use policies of the General Plan, State, and federal law. The City’s Zoning Code Update would establish a consistent process, promote high quality design, promote infill, mixed-use, and transit-oriented development in transportation priority areas (TPAs) and mixed-use overlay areas, and standardize development review. Figure 2 depicts all sites throughout the city that would be rezoned as a part of the Zoning Code Update and/or where a General Plan Amendment (GPA) is proposed.

City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
4 The City’s current Zoning Code is included as Title 17 of the Woodland Municipal Code and includes 42 chapters covering general development provisions, definitions, zone specific permitted uses and development standards, city wide standards and administrative procedures. The proposed Zoning Code Update reorganizes elements of the current code to follow a more logical sequence of development regulations and procedures. The code update generally follows a flow from introductory provisions to zone standards, city-wide standards, and finally administrative procedures and definitions. It is comprised of 5 divisions and each division is divided into sections and subsections. Within the divisions, sections generally follow a logical pattern, moving from more general to more specific provisions. Details of the proposed updates to the Zoning Code under the proposed project are further discussed below in Section 2.3.

This Addendum, therefore, analyzes the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of Zoning Code Update. This Addendum is intended to demonstrate the consistency of the Zoning Code Update with the existing General Plan to comply with CEQA. The City’s 2035 General Plan underwent extensive environmental review in the form of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), which was certified in 2017. The EIR for the Woodland General Plan is a comprehensive document and includes discussion of alternatives and growth-inducing impacts associated with urban development in the city at the time it was developed. This Addendum will compare the buildout of the proposed project with the Cumulative Scenario, or full-buildout scenario, presented in the General Plan EIR. In particular, and in line with Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, this Addendum assesses whether the Zoning Code Update, as a policy and programs document, includes impacts not addressed or previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR.

1.6 Discretionary Action
Implementation of the Zoning Code Update would require the following discretionary actions by the City of Woodland Planning Commission and/or City Council:
▪ Adoption of the updated Zoning Code (Title 17)
▪ Adoption of General Plan Amendments
▪ Adoption of this Addendum to the certified EIR

2 Project Context

2.1 City of Woodland General Plan
State law mandates that each city and county in California adopt "a comprehensive, long-term general plan,” for the physical development of its planning area. The Woodland General Plan planning area includes all lands within the city limits and Sphere of Influence (SOI). The purpose of the General Plan is to plan for important community issues such as new growth, housing needs, and environmental protection. Furthermore, the General Plan is used to project future demand for services such as sewer, water, roadways, parks, and emergency services.

The Woodland General Plan, adopted in May 2017, is a long-term document which identifies the community’s vision for the future and provides a framework that will guide decisions on growth, development, and conservation of open space and resources in a manner that is consistent with the quality of life desired by the city’s residents and businesses.

The General Plan policy document contains the goals and policies that will guide future decisions within the city and identifies action items (implementation measures) to ensure the vision and goals of the General Plan are carried out. The General Plan also contains a Land Use Map, which serves as a general guide to the distribution of land uses throughout the city.

State law requires that every General Plan, at a minimum, address certain subject categories (called "elements"), which include land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, safety, and environmental justice. A General Plan may also address other subjects that are of importance to the community’s future, such as sustainability, community design, and public art. Woodland’s General Plan includes the following elements:
▪ Land Use, Community Design, and Historic
Preservation
▪ Transportation and Circulation
▪ Economic Development
▪ Public Facilities and Services
▪ Healthy Community
▪ Sustainability, Conservation, and Open
Space
▪ Safety
▪ Housing

2.2 Woodland General Plan EIR
The City of Woodland 2035 General Plan EIR (herein called the General Plan EIR) addressed the potential environmental effects of the planned buildout of Woodland through the approximately 20 year period between 2017 to 2035 and concluded that implementation of the General Plan would result in environmental impacts as detailed in Table 1.

Actions and policies were incorporated into the General Plan EIR to reduce potential impacts from project development under the General Plan.

General Plan Assumptions
The General Plan buildout analysis assumes an 18-year horizon to the year 2035. The General Plan will accommodate future growth in Woodland, including new businesses, expansion of existing businesses, and new residential uses. The body of the General Plan EIR does not assume that full buildout of the General Plan will occur. However, the Cumulative Scenario analysis section of the EIR analyzes full buildout of the General Plan.

The General Plan EIR analyzes the impacts of the 2035 General Plan and 2035 Climate Action Plan that could result from implementation on a programmatic level. As discussed on page 2-8 of the General Plan EIR, the General Plan plans for a total population of approximately 75,000 residents, 27,000 dwelling units, 45,340 local jobs, and 37.2 million nonresidential square feet at buildout.

However, for the purpose of this Addendum, the proposed project will be compared to the impacts of the full buildout of the 2035 General Plan as presented in Section 6 of the General Plan EIR. This is due to the assumption that the proposed project could include development beyond what was previously analyzed, as full buildout was not analyzed in the body of the General Plan EIR but was

Project Context
Addendum Evaluation 7
analyzed in Section 6, Cumulative Impacts. Thus, to capture the potential that all units under the proposed project would be built, the same assumption is prescribed to the buildout of the General Plan.

Under the Cumulative Scenario, or full buildout scenario utilizing mid-range values for the density and intensity of each land use, the General Plan would result in 15,290 new dwelling units, 40,220 new jobs, and would add on approximately 42,060 residents. Averaging the minimum and maximum values for non-residential development shown in Table 6-3 of the General Plan EIR, full buildout of the General Plan could result in approximately 55.0 million non-residential square feet.1 As shown in Table 4, the buildout of the sites undergoing a change as a result of the proposed project under existing conditions would result in an increase of 4,597 residential dwelling units and

12.7 million non-residential square feet, which when compared to the overall General Plan buildout is within the development projections of 15,920 new residential units and 55.0 million nonresidential square feet discussed in the Cumulative Scenario analyzed in the EIR. Refer to Section

2.3, Zoning Code Update, for more information.

2.3 Zoning Code Update
The Zoning Code Update includes the following revisions and whether those revisions would require a zone change, general plan amendment (GPA) or both, as shown in Table 2, Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 below.

In addition to all residential modifications, the City proposes to add two new zones, Corridor MixedUse Gateway (CMU-G) and Business Park (BP). These two zones would generally align with the City’s 2035 General Plan land use categories of Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) and Business Park (BP). The Business Park land use designation and proposed zone allows for a residential density range of 25 to 45 dwelling units per acres. All subzones under the CMU zoning district have an allowed residential density of 20 to 40 dwelling units per acre, with the exception of the new CMU-G, which would have a density of 15 to 45 dwelling units per acre. Because this both decreases and increases the allowable density, it is assumed that this would result in the same average density as that assumed by the General Plan, and therefore would not change the buildout assumptions for the CMU land use designation. Both of these zones are currently “floating,” as they are included in the 2035 General Plan Land Use Map, but these land uses currently do not apply to any land in the city. Any proposed zone changes would undergo separate CEQA evaluation.

As shown in Table 4 below, there would be a net increase of 4,597 dwelling units and 12.7 million non-residential square feet associated with the proposed project. This would bring the buildout of the 2035 General Plan with the proposed project on sites that would undergo a change associated with the proposed project to 12,447 residential dwelling units and 27.9 million non-residential square feet.

The General Plan EIR evaluated new growth areas and assumed a total of 7,000 new residential units within the city. This assumption includes development throughout the city. The net increase in residential units associated with the proposed project (4,597 units) and the new units assumed across all other sites in the city (7,000 units) would result in 11,610 new residential units. This would not exceed the Cumulative Scenario buildout previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR (15,290 units).

Additionally, the General Plan evaluated non-residential growth through two scenarios in the General Plan EIR throughout the City. The net increase in non-residential square footage associated with the proposed project (12,691,423 sf) and the non-residential square footage associated General Plan buildout within the city as analyzed in the General Plan EIR (17,386,000 square feet under the East Alternative, which has the highest non-residential square footage assumptions) would result in 30,077,423 square feet. This would not exceed the Cumulative Scenario buildout analyzed in the General Plan EIR (35,129,000 square feet).

Therefore, the proposed project would fall within the buildout numbers (i.e., 15,290 new dwelling units and 55 million non-residential square feet) previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR.

Overview of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and Section 15164 Addendum Evaluation 17
3 Overview of CEQA Guidelines Section
15162 and Section 15164
CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 set forth the criteria for determining the appropriate additional environmental documentation, if any, to be completed when a project has a previously certified EIR.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 states that a lead agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary. None of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a) states that no Subsequent or Supplemental EIR shall be prepared for a project with a certified EIR unless the lead agency determines, based on substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:

1. Substantial changes are proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

2. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following:

A. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.

B. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR.

C. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

D. Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The analysis pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 demonstrates whether the lead agency can approve the activity as being within the scope of the existing certified EIR, that an addendum to the existing EIR would be appropriate, and no new environmental document, such as a new EIR, would be required. The addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR, and the decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the Final EIR prior to deciding on the project.

The City has prepared this Addendum Evaluation, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164, to evaluate whether the project’s environmental impacts are covered by and within the scope of the City of Woodland 2035 General Plan Final EIR (certified May 2017, State Clearinghouse Number 2013032015). The following Addendum Evaluation details any changes in the project,

5.1 General Plan Consistency
To promote a uniform and compatible vision for the development of the community, California law requires the General Plan be internally consistent in its goals and policies. A jurisdiction’s zoning ordinance must be consistent with its General Plan and subsequent updates to its General Plan.

General Plan elements and policies that may affect land use are summarized below:
▪ The Land Use, Community Design, and Historic Preservation Element directs the location and form of future development, shaping where people will live, work, play, and shop in Woodland. It presents the desirable pattern for the ultimate development of the city for the General Plan horizon (year 2035) and seeks to ensure that land use planning reflects the community’s evolution and changing demographics, while promoting sustainability. Goals and policies related to urban form and design will inform development decisions by providing a common understanding of the characteristics the community wishes to achieve and preserve. ▪ The Transportation and Circulation Element emphasizes the development of new and modified infrastructure that promotes increased transportation choices to serve existing and new development. Specifically, it promotes an integrated, multimodal transportation system to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reduce the need for costly roadway improvements, and allow residents and business the opportunity to operate, recreate and move through the city efficiently without an automobile whenever possible. In addition, streets, roads, and other thoroughfares represent the public face of the city and provide an opportunity to improve its beauty, convenience, and safety.
▪ The Economic Development Element of the General Plan contains goals and policies that will enable the City to direct local resources to retain, relocate, expand, and assist local businesses and attract new industries that will increase the City’s tax base and economic diversity. This Element provides policy direction for fostering development and revitalization to support a vibrant downtown; promoting growth in key target areas; providing jobs for the growing population; creating opportunities for supply of retail goods and services that will be needed by the community and patronized by regional travelers as well as business to business opportunities; and enhancing the City’s ability to provide public services for current and future residents. ▪ The purpose of the Public Facilities and Services Element is to provide a policy framework for the City to manage infrastructure and services, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that public utilities and services meet the needs of the community as the city grows. More specifically, the Public Facilities and Services Element addresses the planning, provision, and maintenance of police and fire services; parks and recreational facilities and programs; schools; water, recycled water, wastewater, drainage/stormwater, solid waste systems; and other public facilities. ▪ The Healthy Community Element is centered on the concept that the health of the community is a direct reflection of the health of the residents living within the community. The Element reviews current health conditions in Woodland and sets forth goals and policies to promote the individual and collective health of those living in Woodland, particularly pertaining to access to medical and health services and facilities, active lifestyles, healthy food, community services, and arts and culture.

City of Woodland
City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
22 ▪ The Sustainability, Conservation, and Open Space Element establishes goals and policies for the conservation of natural resources in Woodland. Woodland’s natural resources – water, natural habitats, wildlife, vegetation, agricultural soils, minerals, and air – contribute to the city’s economy and the quality of life of Woodland residents.
▪ The purpose of the Safety Element is to identify the natural and manmade public safety hazards that exist within the city and to establish preventative and responsive policies and programs to mitigate their potential impacts.
▪ The goals of the Housing Element are to identify the community’s housing needs; to state the community’s goals and objectives with regard to housing production, rehabilitation, and conservation to meet those needs; and to define the policies and programs that the community will implement to achieve the stated goals and objectives.

5.2 Preliminary Environmental Constraints
The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific development projects, but rather codifies zoning rules, processes, and procedures that guide future growth in Woodland. Each future development project would be subject to separate review to determine potential impacts on the environment related to each project as potential impacts are location-specific and cannot be assessed in a meaningful way until a project site and development proposal are identified. When a specific development proposal is considered for approval, that project would be subject to adopted development guidelines and standards outlined in the Zoning Code and be required to incorporate applicable mitigation measures, alternatives and/or uniformly applied policies developed in the 2035 General Plan EIR certified in 2017 (in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168[c][3]). If a subsequent activity (in this case a specific development proposal that requires discretionary approval) would have effects not identified in the program EIR (the 2035 General Plan EIR and this Addendum), the lead agency must prepare additional CEQA documentation.

This Addendum evaluation includes the analysis of the changes and potential impacts related to the adoption of the Zoning Code Update. This Addendum evaluation is intended to demonstrate the project’s consistency with the existing Woodland 2035 General Plan and Final EIR to satisfy the requirements of CEQA. In particular, and pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21083.3, this Addendum Evaluation assesses whether the updated Zoning Code, as a policy and programs document, includes impacts not addressed or analyzed as significant effects in the certified EIR.

Addendum Evaluation 23
6 Addendum Evaluation

6.1 Aesthetics
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined the Cumulative Scenario would result in a less than significant impact to scenic vistas. There are no State scenic highways in close proximity to the City. Therefore, impacts to State scenic highways would be less than significant. Future development would be required to be consistent with existing adopted General Plan policies that protect the scenic resources of the City of Woodland. Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario would add uses and density; new investment in urban infill areas typically improves visual quality by developing vacant or underutilized properties and improving maintenance of existing structures and yards. Nonetheless, the Cumulative Scenario would change the visual character of the city, which would be perceived within the city, as well as from adjacent areas. Therefore, implementation of the General Plan Cumulative Scenario would result in significant and unavoidable impacts to visual character. The General Plan EIR determined that the Cumulative Scenario would also contribute to an increase in nighttime light and glare. Mitigation Measure 4.1-4 recommends two additional policies, Policies 2.F.4 and 2.F.5, that require light sources to be aimed downward and shielded, as necessary, to prevent glare or reflection or any nuisance or hazardous interference of any kind on adjoining streets or property and to avoid glare by using exclusively low-reflectance, non-polished finishes, or other equally effective mechanisms. Mitigation Measure 4.1-4 will reduce light and glare from urban development, but these impacts cannot be avoided altogether. This impact would be significant and unavoidable.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards and use regulations. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, Policy 2.E.5 in the General Plan which protects view corridors, as well as Mitigation Measure 4.1-4, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

Furthermore, development and design standards within the updated Zoning Code, including new objective design standards (Zoning Code Division II, Chapter 17.56 – Building and Site Design Standards) and development regulations pertaining to building height, setbacks and lot coverage (Zoning Code Division II – Zone Regulations) further implement General Plan goals and policies that speak to the preservation of view corridors, attractive building street facades and preservation of existing neighborhood character (General Plan Goal 2.G and Policies 2.E.5-6, and 2.G1-3). In line with General Plan EIR Mitigation Measure 4.1-4, Zoning Code Section 17.76.080, regulates Light and Glare associated with new development proposals, specifically stating that, “Lights shall be of the minimum illumination

City of Woodland
City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
24 necessary for a given application and shall be placed to deflect light away from adjacent properties and public streets, and to prevent adverse interference with the normal operation or enjoyment of surrounding properties. Lights shall be directed downward and shielded at lot lines so as to confine all direct rays to the premises on which it is located. Exterior lighting shall be fully shielded;” and, “All lighting, reflective surfaces, mechanical or chemical processes, or any other sources of illumination shall be designed and located in a manner that produces no glare visible on public streets or on any other parcel. Glare or heat reflected from building materials shall be mitigated so as to not disrupt surrounding properties.”
While the proposed project would be updating both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same visual impacts from new development, including potential light sources, as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to scenic vistas, scenic resources, or visual character, and would not create new sources of substantial light or glare which adversely affects views.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development regulations, including standards that govern visual quality and community design.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of aesthetics is required.

6.2 Agriculture and Forestry
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Cumulative Scenario would convert all of the farmland in the city to nonagricultural uses. Multiple policies are identified in the 2035 General Plan to manage agricultural land conversion, including an urban limit line that is designed to protect agricultural land surrounding the city limits, which would reduce the potential impact associated with conversion of agricultural land. The 2035 General Plan also requires mitigation for lost farmland within the Urban Limit Line (ULL) at a rate of one acre of permanently conserved farmland for every acre converted to urban development or nonagricultural uses. There would be no feasible mitigation that would allow the City to implement the 2035 General Plan according to the City’s Vision and Guiding Principles, while also avoiding the conversion of farmland. The loss of farmland associated with the Cumulative Scenario would result in a significant and unavoidable impact. The City has no farmland under Williamson Act contract. Therefore, the impacts of the Cumulative Scenario on existing zoning and Williamson Act contracts would be less than significant.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would be updating both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same agricultural and forestry impacts from new development, including farmland conversion, as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan. Furthermore, the proposed project would be consistent with General Plan Goal 7.C. and Policies

7.C.5, 2.A.1, and 2.A.3 which preserves farmland, existing agricultural land uses, and implements an urban limit line to limit development on agricultural land within Woodland. The project would also comply with the Woodland Municipal Code Chapter 15.33 which implements mitigation measures to preserve agricultural land within the city. Woodland’s Right to Farm Ordinance (WMC Chapter 9.52) would also be applicable and the project would comply with this ordinance to reduce impacts to agricultural lands.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to Farmland, Williamson Act contracts, or existing zoning for forest land or timberland.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards including those listed in WMC Section 15.33 which generally requires that for every acre converted to urban development, one acre of mitigation shall be required (1:1 ratio) whenever the City Council approves a General Plan amendment and/or rezone for urban development on agricultural land or farmland.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of agriculture and forestry is required.

26 6.3 Air Quality
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that construction-related criteria pollutant and precursor emissions from the 2035 General Plan would exceed YSAQMD’s thresholds of significance for ROG, NOX, and PM10. The Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan would involve more construction activities and would also generate construction-related criteria air pollutant and precursor emissions that exceed YSAQMD’s thresholds of significance. Implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.3-1a and Mitigation Measure 4.3-1b would aid in reducing construction emissions, but impacts would be significant and unavoidable. The General Plan EIR also determined that the Cumulative Scenario would exceed YSAQMD’s operational thresholds and would result in a significant and unavoidable impact after implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.3-1b and Mitigation Measure 4.3-2.

Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan could result in the creation of toxic air contaminants (TACs). However, 2035 General Plan policies aim to reduce impacts to air quality.

Compliance with all applicable air quality policies in the 2035 General Plan and regulations set by the Air Resources Board (ARB) would result in a less than significant impact from TACs with incorporation of Mitigation Measures 4.3-3a and 4.3-3b. Odor impacts are generally localized and do not combine with odor impacts in nearby jurisdictions to increase the severity of impacts. Because odor emissions from various land uses differ in nature, these emissions would not cumulatively contribute to each other to expose residents. The primary source of odor in the city is the Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF).

Policy 7.F.6 of the 2035 General Plan requires odors associated with the wastewater treatment plant to be mitigated to acceptable levels in conjunction with planning and development for any land within an odor buffer. A study conducted by Nexgen (2015) found that outside of this buffer zone, there would be no substantial odor emissions. This impact would be less than significant without mitigation incorporated.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, as well as Mitigation Measures 4.3-1a, 4.3- 1b, and 4.3-2, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with Zoning Code Section 17.76.100 which includes requirements for the reduction of odors, particulate matter, and contaminants and requires compliance with Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board, and the Yolo Solano Air Quality Management Control District (YSAQMD) for sources of air emissions. These policies, actions, and mitigation measures would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same air quality impacts from new development, including exposure

to criteria pollutants, as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the 2035 General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to air quality thresholds such as net increase of criteria pollutants, exposure of sensitive receptors to pollutant concentrations, and the creation of objectionable odors.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of air quality is required.

6.4 Biological Resources
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that there would be a less than significant impact to biological resources with mitigation incorporated. Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan would result in conversion of habitat for special-status plant species, which could result in loss of special-status plants either through direct removal or through habitat degradation. However, the 2035 General Plan also includes policies to protect and reduce impacts to biological resources. Mitigation Measure 4.4-1a and Mitigation Measure 4.4-1b would be incorporated to reduce impacts to specialstatus plants and special-status plant habitats to a less than significant level. Similarly, the General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the 2035 General Plan would result in loss and degradation of suitable habitat for several special-status wildlife species and could result in take of State and Federallylisted wildlife species and loss or displacement of special-status wildlife populations. However, incorporation of Mitigation Measures 4.4-2a, 4.4-2b, and 4.4-2c would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

The General Plan EIR also determined that impacts to riparian habitats and wetlands would be less than significant with incorporation of Mitigation Measures 4.4-3a, 4.4-3b, 4.4-3c, 4.4-3d, 4.4-4a, 4.4-4b, and

4.4-4c. The Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan plans for development within the Pacific flyway, a major bird migration route. However, buildout of the 2035 General Plan would not create a barrier to movement of migratory species or alter the character of existing habitat available to migrating birds such that it would no longer function as a migratory corridor. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant. The General Plan EIR determined that compliance with the 2035 General Plan policies and compliance with the City ordinance would reduce potential impacts to trees to a less than significant level.

The General Plan Land Use Diagram and 2035 General Plan policies and implementation programs have been designed to provide consistency with the proposed Yolo Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP). Impacts related to compliance would be less than significant with Mitigation Measures 4.4-7a, 4.4-7b, and 4.4-7c. Implementing the 2035 General Plan would not

28 substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, eliminate a plant or animal community, or substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of any endangered, rare, or threatened species because the majority of known occurrences of special-status species and their habitat would be preserved. Therefore, impacts to fish and wildlife would be less than significant.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, along with all Mitigation Measures in the Section 4.4, Biological Resources, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

Additionally, development facilitated by the project would be required to be consistent with General Plan Goal 7.B and Policies 7.B.1 through 7. B. 11, which protects biological resources including special status species, sensitive habitats, and open space within the city. Development facilitated by the project would also be required to comply with WMC Section 12.48 which is the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance, Section 15.32 which implements the Yolo Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Communities Conservation Plan, and Zoning Code Section 17.64.040, Landscaping, which sets requirements for tree planting areas associated with new development and major site renovations with the stated purpose of preserving existing established tree canopy.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same biological resources impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not increase density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to biological resources such as special status species, riparian or sensitive habitats, protected wetlands, wildlife corridors, or conflict with local policies, ordinances, or conservation plans.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development regulations.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of biological resources is required.

6.5 Cultural Resources
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts, even with the incorporation of mitigation measures. The 2035 General Plan plans for the construction of new buildings and structures.

Modification of existing buildings and structures could also occur in the city. Although there are no previously recorded archaeological resources within the city, future projects involving intensive grading, trenching, excavation, soil stockpiling, and other earthmoving activities could impact previously unrecorded cultural resources. Implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario has the potential to damage or destroy archaeological and historic architectural resources that qualify as historical resources or unique archaeological resources under CEQA. Similarly, implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario has the potential for discovery of human remains during groundmoving activities. The significance of such resources could be materially impaired because their ability to convey significance could be destroyed or diminished. Therefore, impacts would be significant and unavoidable even with the incorporation of Mitigation Measures 4.6-1a, 4.6-1b, 4.6-1c, 4.6-1d, and 4.6- 2, all of which are aimed at reducing impacts to cultural resources.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, in addition to Mitigation Measures 4.6-1a,

4.6-1b, 4.6-1c, 4.6-1d, and 4.6-2, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. General Plan Goal 7.E, and Policies 7.E.1 through 7.E.3, require the preservation of prehistoric, cultural, and archaeological resources within the city. Development facilitated by the project would also comply with WMC Section 15.24 which preserves historical landmarks, districts, and resources, including historic structures, within Woodland. Further, Zoning Code Section 17.56.050, Preservation/Restoration of and Additions to Historic Structures, provides design regulations pertaining to the improvement or re-use of historic structures and discourages the demolition of historic and potentially historic structures. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same cultural resources impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan because the proposed project buildout would not exceed the full buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to cultural resources such as historical or archaeological resources, or human remains.

Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of cultural resources is required.

6.6 Energy
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that during construction and following buildout of the Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan, energy would be consumed in the forms of fossil fuels and electricity.

Projects facilitated under the Cumulative Scenario are required to meet currently applicable energy efficiency standards at the time of construction. Buildings would generally be more energy efficient than existing similar use buildings in the City, which were constructed according to existing or previous less stringent energy efficiency standards. In addition, older buildings tend to decrease in energy efficiency as infrastructure begins to degrade with time. Land uses developed in infill, mixed-use, and/or transit accessible areas would reduce vehicle miles traveled by allowing residents to use alternative modes of transportation rather than motor vehicles or reducing trip distances to access amenities. The Cumulative Scenario includes developments that would improve overall energy efficiency and result in a less than significant impact.

Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario of the 2035 General Plan would increase energy demand and would result in the need to extend services and infrastructure to new users in the city. Policies and implementation programs in the 2035 General Plan, as well as existing regulations would reduce potential impacts. Construction of facilities would occur within the assumed development footprint of the 2035 and impacts are considered throughout the General Plan EIR. Therefore, impacts resulting from the need for new or expanded energy production would be less than significant.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the

General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, General Plan Policy 7.F.5, which requires electric equipment to be used during construction, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the proposed project.

Development facilitated by the project would be required to comply with Zoning Code Section

17.56.101.B., Shade, Cooling and Energy Conservation Requirements, which regulates and promotes the use of alternate energy sources such as solar facilities and heat recovery ventilation, and through design elements such as cool roofs, structural shade features, and building orientation. Zoning Code Section

17.56.010.D. Electrification, requires all new buildings be all-electric ready. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the similar energy resource impacts from new development as under the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to energy such as resulting in wasteful or inefficient consumption of energy resources or conflict with a state or local energy plan.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development regulations.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of energy is required.

6.7 Geology and Soils
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would result in construction with potential exposure to geologic hazards. All applicable projects would be required to comply with the California Building Code, which includes engineering practices that mandate special design and construction methods to reduce or eliminate hazards from seismic ground shaking and construction in expansive soil. In addition, the California Building Code also contains drainage-related requirements to reduce seasonal fluctuations in soil moisture content. In addition, incorporation of Mitigation Measure 4.7-3a would reduce hazards from unstable or expansive soils. Therefore, the effects related to seismic ground shaking; liquefaction; and geologic hazards related to unstable soils, expansive soils, and soil unsuitable for septic systems would be less than significant with mitigation. In addition, construction of the Cumulative Scenario would result in substantial grading, excavation, and earth-moving activities. All applicable projects are required to comply with the City of Woodland Stormwater Management Program and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)

City of Woodland
City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
32 regulations, including construction site storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices (BMPs), which would control soil erosion at each construction site. Therefore, the effects from construction erosion would be less than significant.

Development forecast under 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would involve development in areas with geologic and soils constraints, in areas that could have paleontological resources sensitivity.

Sensitive geologic units considered for paleontological resources are widespread in the Sacramento region. Mitigation Measure 4.7-4 would create a new implementation program that contains additional resource disturbance prevention activities and a cease-work requirement upon paleontological resource discovery, and impacts to paleontological resources would be reduced to a less than significant level.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, in addition to Mitigation Measure 4.7-3a and

4.7-4, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Further WMC Title 15 and 16 speak to soils investigation requirements as part of future subdivision maps and development proposals. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same geology and soils resources impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to geology and soils such as causing potential adverse effects involving fault rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction, and landslides. Nor would the update result in loss of topsoil, cause a geologic unit to become unstable, be located on soils incapable of supporting septic tank use, or destroy a unique paleontological resource.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development regulations.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of geology and soils is required.

6.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the Cumulative Scenario would implement planned land uses that would involve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with short-term construction and infrastructure, along with long-term operational emissions. Incorporation of Mitigation Measures 4.5-1a, 4.5-1b, and 4.5-1c would reduce impacts to a less than cumulatively considerable impact. The 2035 General Plan policies and implementation programs and the 2035 CAP ensure that GHG emissions within the city occur at a rate that is consistent with goals set for the State government to reduce GHG emissions. Projects that seek to use streamlining identified under SB 375 would need to determine consistency with Sacramento Area Council of Government’s (SACOG) Metropolitan Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS). Incorporation of Mitigation Measure

4.5-2 would reduce impacts to a less than significant level.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan.

The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, in addition to Mitigation Measures 4.5-1a,

4.5-1b, 4.5-1c, and 4.5-2, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, future development facilitated by the project would comply with General Plan Policies 7.F.7 through 7.F.11, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the city, and Zoning Code Sections 17.56.010.B.

Shade, Cooling and Energy Conservation Requirements, C. Sustainable Materials and Construction Practices, and D. Electrification, establish sustainable design guidelines and conservation requirements to reduce energy use and GHG emissions. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would be updating both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same greenhouse gas emissions impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to greenhouse gas emissions such as resulting in a significant environmental impact or conflicting with an applicable greenhouse gas emission reduction plan.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development regulations.

34 Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of greenhouse gas emissions is required.

6.9 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario will likely result in an increase in routine use, transportation, and disposal of hazardous materials, as well as handling of hazardous materials near existing and proposed schools. However, existing federal, State, and local regulations create and enforce standards for these activities. Upset or accident conditions, emissions of hazardous materials, and development on a site listed as containing hazardous materials usually occur on a project-by-project basis, rather than in a cumulative manner.

Implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would allow for a wide variety of uses that could result in upset or accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials. However, compliance with policies contained in the 2035 General Plan that enforce safety standards, require detailed planning for uses that generate hazardous materials, require buffers between hazardous sites and sensitive receptors, and require the tracking of data on hazardous materials would reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Individual projects in Yolo County and nearby cities would be required to comply with federal, State, and local regulations. There are 14 airports in the Sacramento region. SACOG serves as the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) and has developed Airport Land Use Compatibility Plans (ALUCP) for almost all of the airports. Compliance with the ALUCPs and existing federal, State, and local laws protect the safety of people near airports and private airstrips. Threats of wildfires on non-federal lands in unincorporated areas are the responsibility of CAL FIRE and addressed through compliance with Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Division 1.5. Federal lands fall under Federal Responsibility Areas, and all incorporated areas and other unincorporated lands are classified as Local Responsibility Areas. Therefore, there would be no impact on wildfire hazards.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, development facilitated by the proposed project would comply with General Plan Goal 8.E and Policies 8.E.1 through 8.E.6, which are intended to minimize the risk of loss of life, injury, serious illness, damage to property, and negative economic and social impacts resulting from the use, transport, treatment, and disposal of hazardous materials and hazardous materials waste. Development facilitated by the project would also be required to comply with Zoning Code Section 17.76.050 and

17.76.060 which regulates hazardous materials including fire and explosive hazards. These code sections require compliance with the California Hazardous Materials Regulations, the California Fire and

Addendum Evaluation
Addendum Evaluation 35
Building Codes, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and the County Environmental Health Agency with regard to the use, handling storage and transportation of hazardous materials.

These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same hazards and hazardous materials impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in hazards and hazardous materials impacts such as hazardous material accidental release during transport or spill, hazardous emissions near schools, located on a site which is listed as a hazardous materials site, noise or safety concerns near airport, impair an emergency response plan, or expose people or structures to significant risk of wildland fires.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of hazards and hazardous materials is required.

6.10 Hydrology and Water Quality
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would result in no impact to long-term water quality. Implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative would convert large areas of undeveloped land to residential, commercial, industrial, and mix-uses, as well as intensify land uses as infill in existing downtown and major corridor areas, resulting in impacts related to additional discharges of pollutants to receiving water bodies. Such pollutants would result in adverse changes to the water quality of local water bodies. However, with adoption and implementation of the proposed policies in the Proposed Project, combined with current land use, stormwater, grading, and erosion control regulations, this impact would be less than significant with Mitigation Measure 4.9-1 incorporated. Construction and grading activities during development consistent with the Proposed Project could result in excess runoff, soil erosion, and stormwater discharges of suspended solids and increased turbidity. Such activities could mobilize other pollutants from project construction sites as contaminated runoff to on-site and ultimately off-site drainage channels. Many construction-related wastes have the potential to degrade existing water quality.

Construction activities that are implemented without mitigation could violate water quality standards or cause direct harm to aquatic organisms. However, with implementation of existing regulations and water quality policies contained in the 2035 General Plan, this impact would be less than significant with incorporation of Mitigation Measure 4.9-2.

City of Woodland
City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
36 Development and land use change consistent with the 2035 General Plan would increase the amount of impervious surfaces, thereby increasing surface runoff. This increase in surface runoff would result in an increase in both the total volume and the peak discharge rate of stormwater runoff, and therefore could result in greater potential for erosion, sedimentation, hydromodification, and on- and offsite flooding.

However, with adoption and implementation of the proposed policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan, combined with current grading, erosion, and flood control regulations, this impact would be less than significant with incorporation of Mitigation Measure 4.9-3. An increase in water demands and associated depletion of groundwater supplies could also result from the land use changes under the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario; however, access to new surface water supplies and opportunities for conjunctive use through aquifer storage and recovery would result in a reduced reliance on groundwater supplies. With compliance with existing regulations and implementation 2035 General Plan policies, this impact would be less than significant.

Implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would place housing in new growth areas within a current 200-year flood hazard area only if a funded, comprehensive flood solution is secured.

Additional policies in the General Plan limit the flooding risks of infill development. Implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would place structures within a 200-year flood hazard area; however, policies in the 2035 General Plan prohibit diversion of flood flows onto adjacent properties.

The 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario plans for infill and new growth development in areas within the levee and dam inundation areas. Policies within the 2035 General Plan would aid in limiting the flooding risk of infill developments and prohibit diversion of flood flows to adjacent properties. In addition, all new developments in dam inundation areas resulting from implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would be required to comply with all federal, State, and regional policies. Therefore, all impacts related to potential flooding or inundation of the project area would be considered less than significant.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, in addition to Mitigation Measures 4.9-1, 4.9- 2, and 4.9-3, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, development facilitated by the proposed project would comply with General Plan Goal 7.A and Policies 7.A.4 and 7.A.5, which protect water quality within the city. Regarding flooding impacts, General Plan policies 8.B.1 through

8.B.3, which set requirements for floodplain zoning and flood hazard evaluation, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the project. Zoning Code Sections 17.56.010, 17.64.040 and 17.88 include requirements for water conservation to be included in building design, would implement the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act, and includes flood management requirements, respectively.

These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously

analyzed, thereby resulting in the same hydrology and water quality impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to hydrology and water quality such as resulting in a violation of water quality standards, decreased groundwater supplies or groundwater recharge, altered drainage patterns resulting in increased flooding, tsunami, or seiche hazard risks, or conflict with a water quality control plan.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of hydrology and water quality is required.

6.11 Land Use and Planning
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would not physically divide an established community, as the entire city would undergo changes as part of Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario. In addition, the 2035 General Plan includes several policies that encourage development to be done in a manner that does not isolate or lead to the division of communities. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. The 2035 General Plan proposes land use designations of unincorporated county land that differ from the land use designations in the Yolo County 2030 General Plan. Until the unincorporated land in the Planning Area is annexed, the County’s general plan and land use regulations apply. The Cumulative Scenario would not conflict with an applicable land use plans, policies, or regulations and therefore result in a less than significant level.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan, including consistency with the land use and growth strategies identified in the General Plan. The zone changes would not exceed the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, General Plan Policies 2.A.1, 2.A.5 and 2.E.1 through 2.E.3, which promote high quality development and transition areas within the city, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the project.

38 These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same land use impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code is the primary tool used to implement the policies of the city’s General Plan, in particular those related to land use, site planning and building design. The Zoning code provides permitted use and development standards that directly and indirectly relate to the quality of life, health, sustainability and safety goals of the city, establish by the General Plan. In addition to bringing the citywide zoning code into compliance with the 2035 General Plan, the code update ensures city compliance with numerous statewide legislative updates that have occurred over the past several years, particularly those related to streamlining the production of new housing and removing barriers to housing development. The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to land use such as physically dividing an established community or conflicting with a land use plan or policy.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of land use and planning is required.

6.12 Mineral Resources
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would not result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource or of a locally important mineral resource recovery site, as the City does not contain any known areas of mineral resources. Therefore, implementation of the land use changes consistent with the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would have no impact related to the loss of availability of mineral resources.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations

and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, General Plan Goal 7.D and Policies 7.D.1 and 7.D.2, which protect mineral resources within the city, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the project. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same mineral resources impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the General Plan. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to mineral resources such as loss of availability of a known mineral resource for the region, or loss of a locally important mineral resource recovery site.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of mineral resources is required.

6.13 Noise
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that future development and implementation of the policies in the 2035 General Plan and Cumulative Scenario would result in exposure of existing and proposed noise sensitive land uses to noticeable increases from construction activities. Therefore, Mitigation Measure

4.11-1 is required in order to reduce impacts from construction noise. However, for construction sites that are adjacent to noise-sensitive uses, there still could be a substantial temporary increase in noise levels that could lead to adverse noise-related impacts and impacts would be significant and unavoidable. Future development of new noise-sensitive land uses would occur under the Proposed Project within areas that either are currently exposed to noise from both transportation and nontransportation noise sources, or will be in the future. Uses allowed under the 2035 General Plan could potentially expose existing or planned noise-sensitive uses to noise levels that exceed local standards.

For that reason, Mitigation Measures 4.11-2a and 4.11-2b would be incorporated in order to reduce transportation and operational noise. However, impacts would remain significant and unavoidable.

Construction of projects under the Cumulative Scenario could cause temporary, short-term disruptive vibration for locations near sensitive receptors. Under the Cumulative Scenario, new vibration-sensitive uses could locate in areas exposed to vibration. Mitigation Measure 4.11-3a and 4.11-3b would be incorporated in order to reduce vibration, but impacts would be significant and unavoidable. The City of Woodland is outside of the 60 dB CNEL contours of all nearby airports. Therefore, there would be a less than significant impact resulting from airport noise.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to noise such as increased ambient noise levels, excess groundborne vibration, or noise exposure near an airport or private airstrip.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards and the standard conditions of approval required by the General Plan EIR noise mitigation measures.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of noise is required.

6.14 Population and Housing
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to population and housing. Implementation of Cumulative Scenario would induce population growth substantially higher than that projected in the SACOG regional population projections. Therefore, this impact would be significant and unavoidable. In addition, the General Plan EIR determined that policies in the 2035 General Plan would reduce impacts

related to displacement resulting from the Cumulative Scenario, and the Cumulative Scenario would lead to an increase in housing throughout the city. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs, and is intended to streamline housing and encourage infill development, consistent with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the city. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards. Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same population and housing impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to population and housing such as inducing substantial unplanned population growth or displacing existing housing or people.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of population and housing is required.

6.15 Public Services
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR states growth resulting from the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would create demand for new public services in the city. The 2035 General Plan includes Policy 5.B.4 and 5.A.3 to ensure that sufficient facilities and services are provided to serve additional growth. These policies and programs apply to any level of development, and therefore would mitigate the Cumulative Scenario.

For this reason, impacts to fire and police protection services would be less than significant under the Cumulative Scenario. Implementation of the 2035 General Plan will reduce the impacts related to school services. Specifically, Goal 5.E and Policy 5.E.2 encourage coordination with the Woodland Joint Unified

City of Woodland
City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
42 School District and other educational institutions regarding future school sites. Therefore, impacts to schools would be less than significant. Parks and Recreation was also covered in Section 6.1.3.12 of the General Plan EIR, and the results have been summarized in Section 6.16, below.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would not exceed the total residential or nonresidential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR. However, the various GPAs would lead to an increase in the total number of residential units and non-residential square footage in the city. This total would still be within the Cumulative Buildout totals that were previously analyzed in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project would update but not eliminate the fundamental regulations and requirements of the Zoning Code, such as meeting design standards.

Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same public services impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to public services such as lowered service capabilities for fire and police protection, schools, parks, and other public facilities such that new facilities would be required.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of public services is required.

6.16 Recreation
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR states that several agencies provide park and recreation services in the region, including counties, cities, and special districts. An increase in population within the city under the Cumulative Scenario may increase demand for parks and recreation facilities and services. However, these local jurisdictions have authority over land use, set and implement level of service standards, and determine the siting and timing of public service projects. For this reason, impacts to parks and recreation would be less than significant.

Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, General Plan Policies 5.C.3 through 5.C.10, which set requirements for parkland and encourage accessible park amenities, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the project, as would Zoning Code Sections 17.56.030, 17.56.040, and 17.56.070, set minimum private and shared open space requirements for multi-family, small lot, and mixed-use development types through site planning and design requirements. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same recreation impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to recreation such as increasing park and public facilities usage requiring construction or expansion of new facilities.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of recreation is required.

6.17 Transportation
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that the daily VMT per capita is expected to increase above baseline levels of 32.7 to 34.8 while VMT per service population is projected to decline from 20.5 to 19.2 under the Cumulative Scenario. In addition, policies 3.A.5, 3.A.10, and 3.A.11 and Implementation Program 3.3 of the 2035 General Plan require actions on the part of new development and the City that will reduce vehicle trips. Due to the decrease in per capita VMT and compliance with programs and policies in the 2035 General Plan, impacts would be less than significant. The Cumulative Scenario is expected to result in 33 roadway segments with LOS D, one with LOS E, and one with LOS F. The only unacceptable LOS

44 condition would occur on East Gum Avenue from Bourn Drive to Pioneer Avenue. This segment is projected to operate at LOS F under the Cumulative Scenario, while the acceptable LOS threshold is LOS C. While LOS is no longer applicable as a significant impact under CEQA, the 2035 General Plan EIR Cumulative Scenario would implement Mitigation Measure 4.13-1a, 4.13-1b, 4.13-1c, and 4.13-2 in order to reduce this impact to a less than significant impact. The Cumulative Scenario is not expected to conflict with applicable plans, ordinances, or policies establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance. In addition, the Cumulative Scenario’s contribution to air traffic patterns; hazards due to a design feature; emergency access; and transit, bicycle or pedestrian facilities is expected to be less than significant.

Additionally, General Plan Policies 3.A.4, 3.A.12, and 3.B.5, which aim to reduce VMT within the city, requires evaluation of project impacts to traffic, and requires new development to include interconnected streets, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the proposed project. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed thereby resulting in the same transportation impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan. Therefore, the Zoning Code Update would not result in increased transportation impacts from LOS or VMT.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to transportation such as conflicting with a current transportation plan or policy, increasing roadway design hazards, or inadequate emergency access.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of transportation is required.

6.18 Tribal Cultural Resources
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR does not analyze tribal cultural resources pursuant to AB 52 (passed in 2015) as the 2035 General Plan was initiated in 2013, prior to the enactment of AB 52. However, as a condition of Mitigation Measure 4.6-1b in Section 4.6, Cultural Resources, in the General Plan EIR requires that the 2035 General Plan be amended to include implementation programs to address the unanticipated discovery of a tribal cultural resource.

Addendum Analysis
As part of the outreach efforts associated with the Zoning Code Update, letters were sent to the following tribes and tribal contacts, in compliance with Senate Bill 18 (SB 18), to request information regarding the Zoning Code Update on March 29 and April 8, 2024:
▪ Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians
▪ Cortina Rancheria Band of Wintun Indians of California ▪ Ione Band of Miwok Indians
▪ United Auburn Indian Community of the Auburn Rancheria ▪ Wilton Rancheria
▪ Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation
▪ Cachil Dehe Band of Wintun Indians
▪ Grindstone Rancheria of Wintun-Wailaki Indians of California The City is not required to send out notification to tribes pursuant to Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52), as AB 52 applies only to projects that have submitted a Notice of Preparation (NOP) or Notice of Determination (NOD) filed after July 1, 2016. Since the General Plan was initiated in 2013, no AB 52 outreach was required.

The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan.

Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR, as well as Mitigation Measure 4.6-1b, would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, General Plan Policy 7.E.3, which requires tribal consultation, would be applicable to future development facilitated by the project. These policies, actions, and mitigation measures would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update.

While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same tribal cultural resources impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR.

City of Woodland
City of Woodland Zoning Code Update
46 The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to tribal cultural resources such as causing a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of tribal cultural resources is required.

6.19 Utilities
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the 2035 General Plan Cumulative Scenario would not exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board and result in a less than significant impact. In addition, the Cumulative Scenario would not result in the need for the construction of or expansion of water or wastewater facilities and stormwater drainage facilities. Therefore, impacts to these facilities would be less than significant without the incorporation of mitigation. Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario would not result in having insufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, nor are new or expanded entitlements needed. The General Plan EIR determined that the Cumulative Scenario would not result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which serves or may serve the project that it does not have adequate capacity to serve the project’s projected demand in addition to the provider’s existing commitments. There would be a less than significant impact.

Implementation of the Cumulative Scenario would be served by existing landfills with sufficient permitted capacity to serve the project’s solid waste disposal needs, and the Cumulative Scenario would be compliant with federal, State and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Therefore, impacts on solid waste and solid waste facilities would be less than significant.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan.

Addendum Evaluation 47
While the proposed project would update both the Zoning Code and the 2035 General Plan, the new buildout of all sites undergoing a change would fall within the buildout numbers that were previously analyzed, thereby resulting in the same utilities impacts from new development as evaluated in the certified EIR. In addition, the proposed project would not result in increased density or more development than was envisioned in the General Plan.

The Zoning Code Update, in and of itself, does not propose specific projects but aligns the zoning code to match the 2035 General Plan and proposed GPAs. Because it is a regulatory update, the Zoning Code Update would not, in and of itself, result in impacts to utilities such as requiring water or wastewater treatment expansion, impacts to water supply for development, and solid waste capacity.

Future development facilitated by the Zoning Code Update would undergo project-specific developmental review, including design review, and would be subject to adopted development standards.

Conclusion
The Zoning Code Update would not result in impacts beyond those addressed or analyzed in the General Plan EIR nor present new information that shows impacts would be more significant than those described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR applies to the Zoning Code Update and no additional environmental assessment of utilities is required.

6.20 Wildfire
General Plan EIR Findings
The General Plan EIR did not analyze wildfire in a standalone section. Instead, impacts of the Cumulative Scenario were studied under “Hazards and Hazardous Waste.” Threats of wildfires on non-federal lands in unincorporated areas are the responsibility of CAL FIRE and addressed through compliance with Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Division 1.5. Federal lands fall under Federal Responsibility Areas, and all incorporated areas and other unincorporated lands are classified as Local Responsibility Areas. Therefore, the General Plan EIR determined there would be no impacts from wildfire.

Addendum Analysis
The proposed project would update the Zoning Code for consistency with the 2035 General Plan in addition to implementing several GPAs. The zone changes would have no impact on the total residential or non-residential buildout analyzed in the Cumulative Impacts section of the General Plan EIR, as they are intended to bring the zone changes in line with the General Plan.

Policies and actions in the 2035 General Plan that were referenced in the General Plan EIR would reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible. Additionally, General Plan Goal 8.C and Policies 8.C.1 through 8.C.5, which aim to minimize the risk of loss of life, injury, and damage to property and watershed resources resulting from fire hazards, would be applicable to future development facilitate by the project. These policies and actions would continue to be required with implementation of the Zoning Code Update. In addition, the most recent CAL FIRE maps indicate no substantive change from the General Plan EIR to FHSZ areas in or adjacent to
