CalRecycle Illegal Disposal Site
Abatement Grant Program
To: City Council
From: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Approval Of Resolution No. 2025-43 “A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Yreka Authorizing The Submittal Of A Grant Application To The California Department Of Resources Recycling And Recovery For The Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program, Designating Authorized Signature Authorities, And Adoption Of A Class 30 Categorical Exemption From The California Environmental Quality Act”
Attachments: 1. City Council Resolution No. 2025-43 “A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Yreka Authorizing The Submittal Of A Grant Application To The California Department Of Resources Recycling And Recovery For The Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program, Designating Authorized Signature Authorities, And Adoption Of A Class 30 Categorical Exemption From The California Environmental Quality Act”
Summary:
The City of Yreka Staff prepared an application to the CalRecycle Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program to remediate the hazardous waste left by an illegal encampment at four City-owned parcels on Campus Drive: 062-161-140, 062-161-170, 062-161-160, and 062-161-130. The City desires to apply for CalRecycle's Program requesting grant funds in the amount of $242,727.00 to contract with qualified professional environmental cleanup services to remediate the site.
Background:
The purpose of the CalRecycle Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is to provide financial assistance in the form of a reimbursement grant up to $500,000 to help public entities accelerate the pace of cleanup and restoration of sites. Eligible projects include solid waste cleanup project sites where cleanup is needed to protect public health and safety or the environment within the applicant’s jurisdiction.
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
Project Description:
The proposed project is broken up into three phrases:
Setup and Preparation: The project begins with signing the contract with the cleanup company, creating a safety plan, setting up work areas across the 10-acre site, and bringing in equipment and workers.
Cleanup and Waste Removal: A professional hazmat team will clean the entire site following safety rules. They will separate different types of waste including medical sharps, and batteries, then sort materials for recycling such as metals, plastics, and cardboard. Hazardous waste will be sent to licensed disposal facilities with proper tracking, while remaining trash goes to a permitted landfill.
Final Cleaning and Paperwork The site will be disinfected with EPAapproved cleaning agents to meet public health standards.
Environmental Review:
The proposed clean-up activity has been evaluated for environmental compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and found to be exempt pursuant to a Class 30 “Minor Actions to Prevent, Stabilize, Mitigate or Eliminate the Release of Threat of Release of Hazardous Waste or Hazardous Substances” Categorical Exemption, Section 15330 of the CEQA Guidelines.
The Class 30 Categorical Exemption allows for minor clean-up activities taken to prevent, minimize, stabilize, mitigate, or eliminate the release […] of hazardous substances which are small or medium in removal actions costing $1 million or less.
The removal of hazardous waste or substances that are taken to a lawfully permitted destination qualifies under this exemption. The application of soil sanitizing solution is also a qualifying action as long as there is no soil disturbance which causes dust to be released.
Fiscal Impact:
The CalRecycle Grant does not require a match of funds for the project. The CalRecycle Grant awards additional points to applicants that set aside at least $15,000 in-kind services. The proposed $15,000 in-kind contribution can be achieved through staff time to manage the project and complete grant reporting, signage on the property, and maintenance of the fencing around the site.
The City has investigated alternative federal and state cleanup programs. EPA Superfund does not apply as the site does not meet National Priorities List criteria.
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
State Department of Toxic Substances Control programs focus on industrial contamination rather than encampment-related waste. FEMA Hazard Mitigation grants address disaster-related hazards rather than solid waste cleanup.
Community Development Block Grant Program Income (CDBG PI) cannot be used for encampment clean-up activities. CalRecycle's Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is the only appropriate funding source for this type of municipal solid waste and biohazard contamination on public lands.

City of Yreka Fire Hall
Conditional Use Permit
To: City Council
From: Juliana Lucchesi, AICP, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Public Hearing: City of Yreka Fire Hall Conditional Use Permit Attachments: 1. City Council Resolution No. 2025-44 “A Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Yreka, Approving Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-01 For The City Of Yreka Fire Hall Project And Adoption Of Class 32 Exemption Under The California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)”
2. Categorical Exemption Environmental Assessment for Fire Hall Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-01
Summary:
The City of Yreka has submitted Conditional Use Permit No. 2025-01 for a new Fire Hall to replace Ley Station, which has served the community since the 1930s. The existing facility has experienced structural failures due to subsidence, age, and lack of modernization. The proposed new facility would be approximately 20,000 square feet on 3.4 acres at 915 S Main Street and 918 Fourth Street (former ShopSmart property).
Background:
The City of Yreka City Manager’s Office and Fire Department identified a concerning trend in the increase of medical calls and the decrease in volunteers to the Yreka Fire Department. Prior to 2025, the City of Yreka had a paid Fire Chief and entirely volunteer fire department. The increase in medical calls and the declining volunteer membership posed a problem for maintaining service call response times and meeting the needs of a changing community.
The passing of Measure V, which increased the City’s sale tax by 1%, enabled the City to invest in the formation of a paid Fire Department staff. With the increase in staffing levels, the City’s next challenge is replacing the City’s Fire Hall: Ley Station.
Ley Station has dutifully housed the City of Yreka Fire Department since the 1930’s.
Approaching 100-years in age, Ley Station has experienced several structural failures due to subsidence, age of the building, and lack of modernization. An Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
evaluation of the station through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)determined a new Fire Hall is needed to accommodate the growing department.
Through CDBG, the City identified a potential site at the abandoned ShopSmart property (915 S Main Street) and adjacent property 918 Fourth Street. These properties are centrally located in the City of Yreka between Fourth Street and State Highway 3 (Main Street) and provide ample area to accommodate a larger, modernized fire hall. The City has entered into escrow to purchase these properties with Pacific Realty Associates, Inc. for redevelopment.
Project Description:
The City of Yreka requests Conditional Use Permit (No. 2025-01) to construct a new approximately 20,000 square foot (sq ft) Fire Hall (Attachment A). The building would include an 8,500 sq ft apparatus bay capable of accommodating up to nine fire vehicles, a 6,000 sq ft firefighter living quarters with dedicated decontamination areas, a gym, common living spaces, and private bedrooms, and a 6,000 sq ft administrative office featuring a lobby, conference room, private offices, and a classroom. Site work would involve surveying, demolition of the existing facility, grading, installation of water, sewer, power, and communications systems, landscaping and irrigation, paving and hardscapes, and modifications to site access. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2027, with operations by Fall 2028.
Project Location:
The Project site is in Yreka, California, located between S Main Street and Fourth Street at 915 S Main Street and 918 Fourth Street. The site is situated in the central portion of the City, with direct access to South Main Street and State Route 3. The Project site consists of four (4) parcels that total approximately 3.4 acres in size.
The site is identified by Siskiyou County Assessor as Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APNs) 061-163-010, 061-272-030, 061-272-070, and 061-281-010.
Surrounding Conditions and Uses:
The proposed project site is between Fourth Street and State Highway 3 (Main Street) to the west and east, respectively. The uses to the west of the property are a collection of residences and businesses. The properties to the east are Siskiyou County Health and Human Services clinic, the Yreka Museum, and Forest Service properties. The property to the North is a commercial building with suites that house the Yreka Asian Market, bank, thrift store, and a drive-thru/walk-up coffee shop. Finally, the uses to the south of the project are a collection of residences and business
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
General Plan & City Code Consistency:
The City of Yreka 2002 General Plan Public Facilities and Public Health and Safety Element discusses public services and the facilities that support them. The approval of a use permit for the proposed Fire Hall project will meet the following goals, policies, and programs:
Public Facilities Goal 1: Ensure that public facilities are designed to accommodate reasonable future needs.
Public Health and Safety Goal 3: Protect people and property within the City of Yreka against fire related loss and damage.
Program PH.3.C. Strive to maintain, the City’s current Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating of four (4).
Program PH.3.D. Consider opportunities to improve the City’s ISO rating for the safety and economic benefits an improved rating would net the City and its residents
The ISO uses a Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS) to understand a community’s fire protection status. The score given through the ISO is called a Public Protection Classification (PPC) score ranging from 1 to 10; with 1 being the best score. Insurance companies utilize the PPC score to understand the level of fire risk associated with a community. Number of fire personnel, dispatch times, and equipment age and service history are all factored in the scoring that could be improved with a new fire hall facility.
The proposed site has a General Plan designation of General Commercial and Zoning of Commercial Highway. The designations allow for commercial uses that would not otherwise fit into the downtown commercial designation and utilize the City’s major roadways. Community facilities, such as a Fire Hall, are considered conditional uses within this zoning district (YMC 16.36.070). The granting of a conditional use permit for this project would be consistent with the City’s Zoning Code.
Environmental Review:
The proposed project has been evaluated for compliance under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The proposed project qualifies for a Categorical Class 32 “Infill Construction” pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. Under Section 15332/Class 32, the Project is exempt from CEQA requirements. Section 15332/Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting conditions described below.
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
An analysis under CEQA has been prepared to support the application of the Class 32 exemption to the project in Attachment 2.
Findings and Analysis:
Conditional use permits within the City of Yreka are governed under Chapter
16.44 of the Yreka Municipal Code (YMC). A Conditional Use Permit may be granted if the City Council can make the findings outlines in YMC Section
16.44.040. The findings are listed below with an analysis prepared by Staff. Any conditions required to make a specific finding is addressed in the analysis under that specific finding:
(a)The proposed use or feature, at the size and intensity contemplated and at the proposed location, will provide a development that is necessary or desirable for, and compatible with, the transportation and service facilities, the neighborhood, and the community. The following shall be considered to make this finding:
(1)The intensity of activity in the district is not such that allowing the larger use will be likely to foreclose the location of other needed neighborhoodservicing uses in the areas; and (2)The proposed use will serve the neighborhood, in whole or in significant part, and the nature of the use requires a larger size in order to function; and (3)The building in which the use is to be located is designed in discrete elements which respect the scale of development in the district.
Finding “a” can be made with conditions based on the following information:
The purpose of the Yreka Fire Hall Project is to replace the existing fire hall with a larger, modern facility that meets the growing needs of the community. Although Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
the project will lead to the eventual decommissioning of Ley Station postconstruction the project would be a more appropriate size and intensity to serve the community. The expanded facility is needed to accommodate the growing Fire Department staff and the increasing size and quantity of fire vehicles and apparatuses.
The new location is also more appropriate than the current Fire Hall. Ley Station is located at the corner of Oregon Street and Miner Street. The station location was built in 1931 in the center of Yreka, thus denoting the separation between East/West and North/South on the City’s street map. The original location was in the center of Yreka to decrease the length in time it took volunteer fire fighters to arrive to the fire hall and dispatch to fires and medical calls in the City. The location, like Ley Station, is now a heavily congested intersection. This intersection is identified in the City’s Active Transportation Plan (ATP) as a high priority project area due to the number of vehicle, bike, and pedestrian conflicts. The proposed project would be located between Fourth Street and State Highway 3 (Main Street) that can accommodate the increased traffic created by a Fire Hall.
The proposed size and location of the Fire Hall would accommodate a modern Fire Department with decontamination areas, sleeping rooms, training rooms and facilities, offices, auxiliary storage, appropriately sized apparatus bays, and pullthrough vehicle bays to remove the need for on-street navigation of the fire trucks to get them stored between calls. The building is oriented to take full advantage of State Highway 3 as the primary access for the fire trucks while driveways on Fourth street would service employees and visitors to the Fire Hall. The location and orientation of the building would eliminate the need for on-street parking, on-street navigation to angle the fire trucks into bays and remove existing conflicts between fire vehicles and apparatuses and public traffic at the Miner Street and Oregon Street intersection.
The site plan for the proposed Fire Hall has been designed to minimize the aesthetic impacts of the facility on surrounding properties. The facility is a similar size and scale to commercial and government buildings on Highway 3 adjacent to the site. The facility design incorporates mid-century modern architectural elements to match historic architectural styles within the City. Conditions 5, 6, 7, 11, 21, 24, 26, 27, and 42 have been created to ensure the proposed Fire Hall is complimentary to the surrounding neighborhood.
(b)Such use of feature as proposed will not adversely impact the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property, improvements or potential development in the vicinity, with respect to aspects including but not limited to the following:
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
(1)The nature of the proposed site, including its size and shape, and the proposed size, shape, and arrangement of structures, so that the subject site is physically suitable for the type, density, and intensity of the use and related structures being proposed;
(2)The accessibility and traffic patterns for persons, non-motorized vehicular traffic, and vehicles, the type and volume of such traffic, the adequacy of proposed off-street parking and loading, and of proposed alternatives to off-street parking;
(3)The safeguards afforded to prevent noxious or offensive emissions such as noise, glare, dust, and odor;
(4)Treatment given, as appropriate, to such aspects as landscaping, screening, open spaces, parking and loading areas, service areas, lighting, and signs; and
(5)Will not be injurious to property or improvement in the neighborhood.
Finding “b” can be made with conditions based on the following information:
The majority of the conditions recommended for approval with this use permit would negate the potential negative impacts during construction and operation of the proposed Fire Hall project. Conditions 3, 4, 8, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38 address the temporary impacts of construction on the surrounding area. These conditions focus on containing noise pollution to the hours of 7AM to7PM Monday through Friday and 8AM to 5PM Saturday and Sunday (YMC 11.01.075) for construction activities, requires measures to neutralize dust and potential air pollution, requires notification of neighboring properties prior to the commencement of demolition and construction, identifies a specific individual to receive and address noise complaints, and ensures construction traffic does not impact adjacent public streets and neighboring properties.
The proposed Fire Hall project’s long-term potential impacts are addressed with Conditions 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27 28, 30, 31 and 39. These conditions place parameters on lighting intensity and design, operation standards to negate noise from typical Fire Hall activities such as training, large deliveries, emergency sirens, and air horns. The most notable condition recommended as part of this use permit is the assignment of a Fire Department employee as a community liaison to address noise and lighting issues in the surrounding area and the requirement for a neighborhood meeting once per year to allow adjacent property owners and tenants to understand the Fire Department’s operations and voice any issues felt by the surrounding neighbors.
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
The inclusion of these conditions would address any potential noise, lighting, dust, air quality issues, and aesthetic impacts of the proposed project. The conditions are also created in a way to allow for incremental assessment and adjustment of the potential lighting and noise impacts from operations. (c)Such use or feature as proposed will comply with the applicable provisions of this code and will not adversely affect the implementation of the general plan; and
Finding “c” can be made for the project with the implementation of Conditions 1, 2, and 45. These three conditions are standards conditions which hold the proposed development to the standards of the submitted site plan submitted October 23, 2025, require the development to abide by all applicable Federal, State and local laws, and creates a conditions which allows for the revocation of the permit if the development does not meet the conditions of the use permit. (d)Such use or feature are not contrary to the stated purpose of the applicable zoning district, specific plan, development regulations, and performance standards as proposed and will provide development that is in conformity with the stated purpose of the applicable zoning district, specific plan, and planned unit development.
The proposed Fire Hall project is located in the Commercial Highway (CH) zoning district. The purpose of the CH zone is to provide an area for larger commercial uses that would not be appropriate for the Downtown Commercial district. The existing Fire Hall is within the downtown commercial district and poses issues for traffic circulation, safety, and noise. The proposed project would move the City’s primary Fire Hall to Highway 3 which is more suited for the proposed use.
Finding “d” can be made without conditions due to the proposed project meeting the intended purpose of the Commercial Highway zoning district. (e)That adequate public facilities and services, such as public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities are available to serve the site or will be made available concurrent with the proposed development.
The proposed Fire Hall project can meet finding “e” without conditions due to the project being an infill, redevelopment project. The historic use of the site was a dental office and large-scale retailer that were served by all public utilities. The utility connections exist and will not require any increase in size or capacity to accommodate the project.
(f)Such use or feature as proposed will not reduce or prevent the expansion of the city's residential unit inventory.
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
The proposed Fire Hall project would not reduce or prevent the expansion of the city’s residential unit inventory. The historic use of the site was dental office and large-scale retailer. The site is not identified in the City of Yreka’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Site Inventory; therefore, it would not prohibit the City from meeting it Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
Review by Public & Outside Agencies:
Public notice was posted as per Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091, which requires specific posting requirements and noticing to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed development. We have received five phone calls from neighboring property owners in support of the project.

FACT: Finding “b” can be made with conditions based on the following information:
The majority of the conditions recommended for approval with this use permit would negate the potential negative impacts during construction and operation of the proposed Fire Hall project. Conditions 3, 4, 8, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38 address the temporary impacts of construction on the surrounding area. These conditions focus on containing noise pollution to the hours of 7AM to7PM Monday through Friday and 8AM to 5PM Saturday and Sunday (YMC 11.01.075) for construction activities, requires measures to neutralize dust and potential air pollution, requires notification of neighboring properties prior to the commencement of demolition and construction, identifies a specific individual to receive and address noise complaints, and ensures construction traffic does not impact adjacent public streets and neighboring properties.
The proposed Fire Hall project’s long-term potential impacts are addressed with Conditions 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27 28, 30, 31 and 39. These conditions place parameters on lighting intensity and design, operation standards to negate noise from typical Fire Hall activities such as training, large deliveries, emergency sirens, and air horns. The most notable condition recommended as part of this use permit is the assignment of a Fire Department employee as a community liaison to address noise and lighting issues Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
in the surrounding area and the requirement for a neighborhood meeting once per year to allow adjacent property owners and tenants to understand the Fire Department’s operations and voice any issues felt by the surrounding neighbors.
The inclusion of these conditions would address any potential noise, lighting, dust, air quality issues, and aesthetic impacts of the proposed project. The conditions are also created in a way to allow for incremental assessment and adjustment of the potential lighting and noise impacts from operations.
(c)Such use or feature as proposed will comply with the applicable provisions of this code and will not adversely affect the implementation of the general plan; and FACT: Finding “c” can be made for the project with the implementation of Conditions 1, 2, and 45. These three conditions are standards conditions which hold the proposed development to the standards of the submitted site plan submitted October 23, 2025, require the development to abide by all applicable Federal, State and local laws, and creates a conditions which allows for the revocation of the permit if the development does not meet the conditions of the use permit.
(d)Such use or feature are not contrary to the stated purpose of the applicable zoning district, specific plan, development regulations, and performance standards as proposed and will provide development that is in conformity with the stated purpose of the applicable zoning district, specific plan, and planned unit development.
FACT: The proposed Fire Hall project is located in the Commercial Highway (CH) zoning district. The purpose of the CH zone is to provide an area for larger commercial uses that would not be appropriate for the Downtown Commercial district. The existing Fire Hall is within the downtown commercial district and poses issues for traffic circulation, safety, and noise. The proposed project would move the City’s primary Fire Hall to Highway 3 which is more suited for the proposed use.
Finding “d” can be made without conditions due to the proposed project meeting the intended purpose of the Commercial Highway zoning district. (e)That adequate public facilities and services, such as public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities are available to serve the site or will be made available concurrent with the proposed development.
FACT: The proposed Fire Hall project can meet finding “e” without conditions due to the project being an infill, redevelopment project. The historic use of the site was a dental office and large-scale retailer that were served by all public utilities. The utility connections exist and will not require any increase in size or capacity to accommodate the project.
(f)Such use or feature as proposed will not reduce or prevent the expansion of the city's residential unit inventory.
Yreka City Council Agenda

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Yreka requests Conditional Use Permit (No. 2025-01) to construct a new approximately 20,000 square foot (sq ft) Fire Hall (Attachment A). The building would include an 8,500 sq ft apparatus bay capable of accommodating up to nine fire vehicles, a 6,000 sq ft firefighter living quarters with dedicated decontamination areas, a gym, common living spaces, and private bedrooms, and a 6,000 sq ft administrative office featuring a lobby, conference room, private offices, and a classroom. Site work would involve surveying, demolition of the existing facility, grading, installation of water, sewer, power, and communications systems, landscaping and irrigation, paving and hardscapes, and modifications to site access. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2027, with operations by Fall 2028. 1 Public Resources Code 210000-21189 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000-15387 available from http://leginfo.ca.gov and http://ccr.oal.ca.gov
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
This project is exempt under Section 15332/Class 32 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Under Section 15332/Class 32, the Project is exempt from CEQA requirements. Section 15332/Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting conditions described below. a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The following is an analysis of how the Project meets all conditions required to be exempt under Section 15332/Class 32 of the CEQA Guidelines.
a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. According to the Yreka General Plan, the Project site has a planned land use designation of General Commercial (GC), which is intended for larger commercial buildings located on parcels that can accommodate parking. Uses are typically stand-alone and oriented more toward vehicles than pedestrians. According to the Yreka Zoning Map, the Project site is within the Commercial Highway (CH) zone district, which is a zone district generally located along major roadways that is intended to serve as the commercial land use zone district for areas outside of the commercial downtown district. Public facilities such as fire substations are conditionally permitted in the CH zone district, and are thereby allowed within the GC land use designation. The entitlement process would ensure that the Project’s design is in compliance with all applicable policies and regulations within the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Impacts would be less than significant.
b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The Project site consists of four (4) parcels that total approximately 3.4 acres in size and are located within Yreka city limits, within a substantially developed portion of the city with established uses and infrastructure. Existing uses adjacent to the site include commercial to the north and south, commercial, professional office, and single-family residences to the west, and public and quasi-public facilities to the east. Within the broader Project area (1/4-mile radius), existing uses include commercial, public and quasi-public, and single-family residential uses. Impacts would be less than significant. c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. The Project site's former development and use as a supermarket and parking lot has resulted in a significantly disturbed and modified landscape. The area lacks the natural vegetative communities, such as wetlands, riparian corridors, or native grasslands, that are typically required to support sensitive plant and animal species. The existing biotic conditions are defined by impervious surfaces including concrete, asphalt, and built structures, which provide minimal habitat, foraging, or nesting Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
opportunities for native wildlife. Overall, the Project site’s existing conditions, which are significantly disturbed, preclude its use as valuable habitat for sensitive species. Thus, the Project site has little value as a habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and impacts would be less than significant.
d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
i. Traffic. The proposed 20,000 sq ft Fire Hall is expected to have a less than significant impact on traffic and, consequently, on Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT). The Project's trip generation was estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. The most applicable land use code, Fire and Rescue Station (575) is described as housing emergency services and firefighting apparatus and personnel. According to the ITE manual, this land use generates an average rate of 0.48 vehicle trips per 1,000 sq ft of ground floor area. Based on the 20,000 sq ft size, the project is estimated to generate 9.6 average daily trips (ADT): (20,000 sq ft/1,000 sq ft×0.48 trips=9.6 ADT).
Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, VMT exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact. Thresholds and screening criteria are identified in the Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation's Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts (April 2018). This Advisory establishes a screening threshold for small projects, stating that projects generating fewer than 110 trips per day generally may be assumed to cause a less than significant transportation impact. Since the Project's estimated ADT of 9.6 trips is substantially below this 110-trip threshold, the Project is assumed to have a less than significant impact. Therefore, no further VMT analysis is required, and impacts would be less than significant.
ii. Noise. Construction of the project would generate short-term noise from grading, demolition, and building activities. Construction noise is typically not considered to be a significant impact if construction is limited to the daytime hours and construction equipment is adequately maintained and muffled. Extraordinary noise‐producing activities (e.g., pile driving) are not anticipated. Further, the General Plan and Yreka Municipal Code restricts hours of construction activity when within 500 feet of an occupied residence. Operational noise would result from routine Fire Hall activities, including vehicle movements and intermittent siren use during emergency response. Given the Project site’s urban setting and compliance with the Yreka General Plan Noise Element and Municipal Code requirements, the Project would result in a less than significant impact. iii. Air Quality. The Project site is located within the Northeast Plateau Air Basin and within jurisdictional boundaries of the Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control District (SCAPCD). Shortterm construction and long-term operational GHG emissions for Project buildout were estimated using CalEEModTM (version 2022.1.1.30).
Yreka City Council Agenda
November 4, 2025
Construction emissions associated with the Project are shown in Table 1 prior to the incorporation of any mitigation. Construction-generated emissions are short-term and of temporary duration, lasting only as long as construction activities occur, but would be considered a significant air quality impact if the volume of pollutants generated exceeds the SCAPCD Rule 6.1 thresholds of significance. As shown in Table 1, emissions from construction activities associated with the proposed Project would fall below the SCAPCD Rule 6.1 thresholds of significance. Therefore, regional and cumulative impacts associated with construction of the proposed Project would be less than significant.

Operational emissions occur over the lifetime of the Project. The SCAPCD considers permitted and nonpermitted emission sources separately when making significance determinations. In addition, the annual operational emissions are also considered separately from construction emissions. Operational emissions associated with the proposed Project are shown in 2. Operational emissions were estimated using a full buildout scenario in the earliest year of operations (2028), which provides a conservative estimate of emissions and resulting potential impacts. Project emissions are compared to the operational significance thresholds promulgated by the SCAPCD Rule 6.1. As shown in Table 2, the proposed Project’s operational emissions would not exceed the applicable SCAPCD Rule 6.1 thresholds of significance. Therefore, the impact from operations of the Project would be less than significant.

iv. Water Quality. The Project site is an infill site within Yreka city limits. Development of the Project would require connections to existing utilities including water, sewer, and stormwater systems. Because the site is greater than one (1) acre in size, future development would require the preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) with Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize the potential for the Project to violate water discharge requirements or otherwise substantially degrade surface or ground water quality.
Further, future runoff resulting from development of the site would be managed in compliance with the State Water Resources Control Board General Permit in accordance with the mandates of the Federal Clean Water Act. The Project would also be subject to compliance with Chapter 12.40 of the Yreka Municipal Code which contains the City’s storm water management and discharge control regulations and approved grading and drainage plans. Thus, compliance with existing regulations would reduce potential impacts related to water quality and waste discharge to less than significant levels. e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. i. Utilities and Service Systems. Because the site is an infill site within the Yreka city limits, there is existing utility infrastructure including water, sewer, stormwater, natural gas, electricity, and telecommunication services to which the Project site would connect. The Project will be reviewed through the City’s entitlement and permitting process to ensure compliance with development standards, including utility design, system capacity, and connection requirements. Consequently, the Project would be consistent with the land use and infrastructure capacity assumptions previously accounted for in the City of Yreka General Plan and supporting utility master plans. For these reasons, it can be determined that the Project would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or significantly expanded off-site utility infrastructure to serve the Project site, and thus, can be adequately served by all required utilities and service systems.
ii. Public Services.
a. Fire Protection. The Project would construct a new, modern Fire Hall that would enhance the City’s fire protection services. The new facility would replace an outdated station and improve coverage and emergency response capacity within Yreka and surrounding areas.
The Project directly supports the City’s emergency service infrastructure and, therefore, would not result in the need for new or expanded facilities beyond what is being constructed. A less than significant impact would occur. b. Police Protection. The Project site is located within the jurisdiction of the Yreka Police Department (YPD). The nearest police station is located approximately 1.5 miles northwest of the Project site at 412 W Miner Street. The Fire Hall is not expected to generate substantial ongoing demands for law enforcement services. Occasional calls for service would be consistent with civic and institutional land uses. The Project would be reviewed by YPD for any applicable safety and crime prevention design considerations.

For these reasons, it can be determined that the Project would not result in the need for new or altered facilities and as a result, a less than significant impact would occur. c. Schools. The Project would not result in any population increase that would affect school enrollment or generate school-aged children. As such, no additional demand for educational services or school facilities would occur. For these reasons, it can be determined that the Project would not result in the need for new or altered facilities. No impact.
d. Parks. Park and recreational facilities are typically impacted by an increase in use from proposed residential development. The Project proposes the construction of a municipal facility that would not result in a substantial net increase in the area’s population; thus, there would be no increased demand for park and recreational facilities that would impact the City’s service standard. No impact.
Based on the analysis contained above, none of the exceptions to Categorical Exemptions set forth in the CEQA Guidelines, Section 15300.2 apply to this Project as analyzed in the following:
a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located – a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, Class 3 is considered to apply all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies.
Classes 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), 4 (Minor Alterations to Land), 5 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations), 6 (Information Collection), and 11 (Accessory Structures) are not applicable to the proposed Project, therefore such location considerations are not applicable.
b) Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for this class are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. (“Cumulative Impact” is defined as the condition under which “two or more individual effects which, when considered together, are considerable or which compound or increase other environmental impacts,” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15355)
The Project proposes the construction of a public facility that is consistent with and permitted by the Yreka General Plan and Municipal Code. Adherence to the applicable policies and regulations would ensure that implementation of successive public infrastructure projects in the area would not constitute a significant cumulative impact.
c) Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances.
Based on the analysis provided above, the Project is not expected to have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The Project is proposed on an infill site within a developed urban area and there are no unusual circumstances with regard to the site, its Yreka City Council Agenda

location, or surroundings. The Project proposes a fire station, a permitted and appropriate use under the current land use and zoning designations. Given that the surrounding area is already developed and the Project use is compatible, there is no reasonable possibility that the activity would have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. d) Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway.
According to the California State Scenic Highway System Map, South Main Street/State Route 3 is an eligible scenic highway.2 Asshown in Attachment A, properties with frontage on South Main Street/State Route 3 are developed with structures, landscaping, and direct vehicular access to the roadway, including the Project site. The Project would maintain existing accessto South Main Street/State Route 3 and would not require any construction within the right-of-way. Therefore, the Project would not damage any scenic resources within the adjacent eligible scenic highway. e) Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The Project is not located on a site that is included in any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.
A search of the California Department of Toxic Substance Control’s EnviroStor database3 and the State Water Resources Control Board’s GeoTracker database 4 reveal no hazardous material release sites on the Project site. Thus, no impact would occur. f) Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.
According to the Yreka General Plan, there are no local, state, or federal designated historical resources on or adjacent to the Project site. In addition, a CHRIS Record Search was conducted by the Northeast Information Center for the Project site in October 2025 (IC File # NE25-391).
The results indicate: 1) no archeological resources have been recorded with the Project boundaries; 2) no built environment resources have been recorded within or adjacent to the Project site; 3) the Project Area has been previously surveyed for cultural resources related to the Yreka wastewater treatment and collection system improvement project; and 4) archaeological sensitive areas within the Project Area include Yreka Western Railroad and Yreka Creek. These sensitive areas are not located within or adjacent to the Project site. Based on the results, the Project Area is considered to have low sensitivity for cultural resources. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.
Overall, the Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and policies as well as the applicable zoning designation and regulations. It occurs within city limits on a site less than five (5)-acres in size within an urbanized area. The disturbed site within an urbanized area has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. Further, the Project would not result in any significant effects 2 Caltrans.

relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality and can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. As such, the proposed Project is not expected to have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, a categorical exemption, as noted above, has been prepared for the Project.
