9 Noise Element
Noise is a required General Plan element. The Noise element has a direct correlation with the land use, circulation, and housing elements. It guides land use and transportation facilities, since they are common sources of excessive noise levels.

9.1 NOISE CHARACTERISTICS AND MEASUREMENT
Noises vary widely in their scope, source, and volume, ranging from individual occurrences such as leaf blowers, to the intermittent disturbances of overhead aircraft, to the fairly constant noise generated by traffic on freeways. Noise is primarily a concern with regard to noise–sensitive uses such as residences, schools, churches, and hospitals.

NOISE MEASUREMENT
Noise is commonly defined as undesirable or unwanted sound. Three aspects of community noise are used in assessing the noise environment:
x Level (e.g., magnitude or
loudness) of sound. Sound
levels are measured and
expressed in decibels (dB)
with 10 dB roughly equal to
the threshold of hearing.

Figure 9-1 shows the
decibel levels associated
with different common
sounds.
x Frequency composition or
spectrum of the sound.

Frequency is a measure of
the pressure fluctuations
per second, measured in
units of hertz (Hz). The
characterization of sound level magnitude with respect to frequency is the sound spectrum, often described in octave bands, which divide the audible human frequency range (e.g., from 20 to 20,000 Hz) into ten segments.
x Variation in sound level with time, measured as noise exposure. Most community noise is produced by many distant noise sources that change gradually throughout the day and produce a relatively steady background noise having no identifiable source. Identifiable events of brief duration, such as aircraft flyovers, cause the community noise level to vary from instant to instant. A single number called the equivalent sound level or Leq describes the average noise exposure level over a period of time.

Not all noise is bad, some is exciting like this celebration.

Transient noise events may be described by their maximum A-weighted noise level (dBA) or by their sound exposure level (SEL). SEL values may be summed on an energy basis to compute equivalent energy level (Leq)values over any period of time. Hourly Leq values are called Hourly Noise Levels.

REPORTING NOISE LEVELS
Measuring and reporting noise levels involves factoring in variations in sensitivity to noise during the daytime versus nighttime hours. Noise descriptors used for analysis need to account for human sensitivity to nighttime noise when background noise levels are generally lower than in the daytime and outside noise intrusions are more noticeable. Common descriptors include the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) and the Day-Night Average Level (DNL, symbol Ldn). Both reflect noise exposure over an average day with weighting to reflect the increased sensitivity to noise during the evening and night. The two descriptors are roughly equivalent.

The CNEL descriptor is used in relation to major continuous noise sources, such as aircraft or traffic, and is the reference level for the General Plan Noise Element under State planning law.

Knowledge of the following relationships is helpful in understanding how changes in noise and noise exposure are perceived:
x Except under special conditions, a change in sound level of 1 dB cannot be perceived; x A 3 dB change is considered a just-noticeable difference; x A 5 dB change is required before any noticeable change in community response would be expected. A 5 dB increase is often considered a significant impact; and x A 10 dB increase is subjectively heard as an approximate doubling in loudness and almost always causes an adverse community response.

9.2 NOISE GENERATION IN YUBA CITY
The major noise sources in Yuba City are related to vehicular traffic on State Route 20 and Highway 99. Other noise sources include overflights from the Sutter County Airport, railroad activities, and agricultural operations around the edges of the City. Noise produced by industrial facilities has a negligible effect on the City’s noise environment. Although the City does not have a specific Noise Ordinance, noise is regulated by the City’s Nuisance Ordinance, which governs the time of day that certain noise-generating activities may take place.

TRAFFIC NOISE
Traffic noise depends primarily on the speed of traffic and the percentage of truck traffic.

Conversely, traffic volume does not have a major influence on traffic noise levels. The primary source of noise from automobiles is high frequency tire noise, which increases with speed. In addition, trucks and automobiles with modified mufflers produce engine and exhaust noise, and trucks also generate wind noise. While tire noise from autos is generally located at ground level, truck noise sources can be located as high as ten to fifteen feet above the roadbed due to tall exhaust stacks and higher engines; sound walls are not effective for mitigating such noise unless they are very tall.

According to common practice, maximum noise levels of 60 dB are considered “normally acceptable” for unshielded residential development. Noise levels from 60 to 70 dB fall within the “conditionally unacceptable” range, and those in the 70 to 75 dB range are considered “normally unacceptable.”
Noise exposure contours for Yuba City were modeled by applying the Federal Highway Administration’s noise modeling procedure. These noise contours are conservative, meaning that the contours are modeled with minimal noise attenuation by natural barriers, buildings, etc.

The noise level measured at a specific location may be lower than what is shown on the noise contour diagram.

TRAFFIC NOISE LEVELS
Existing noise conditions in Yuba City were measured at six locations for a 24-hour period between September 10 and September 11, 2001. These six locations were chosen based upon their proximity to relevant noise sources, including Highway 99, State Route 20, the railroad tracks, and the Sutter County Airport (see Table 9-1).

Figure 9-2 illustrates the results of the 2001 noise monitoring in Yuba City. Some of Yuba City’s existing residential neighborhoods are exposed to moderate noise levels from the City’s main traffic corridors, particularly along State Route 20 and Highway 99. As shown in Table 9-1, the highest noise levels were measured by Meter 2 (Colusa Avenue just west of Highway 99) and by Meter 5 (Colusa Avenue between Market and Shasta), both reflecting noise levels above the “normally unacceptable” range of 70 to 75 dB.

9.3 PROJECTED CONDITIONS UNDER GENERAL PLAN BUILDOUT
Future development within the Planning Area will result in new roads and increased traffic volumes, thus increasing noise levels in some areas. Future noise contours are illustrated in Figure 9-3. Increases in traffic levels can be counteracted by the implementation of alternate forms of transportation and land use design that factor in noise concerns. Locating noisesensitive uses away from high-noise areas (e.g. major transportation routes) and buffering noise levels through design and landscaping features will help minimize future noise-related land use conflicts. Policies in this chapter establish review criteria for certain land uses to ensure that future noise levels will not exceed acceptable levels near noise-sensitive land uses.

GOALS, POLICIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION
Goal NO 1-1. Strive to achieve an acceptable noise environment for the present and future residents of Yuba City by incorporating noise considerations into land use planning decisions and guide the location and design of transportation facilities to minimize the effects of noise on adjacent land uses.

Policy NO 1-1: Use the "normally acceptable" noise levels for new land uses as established in Figure 9-4 (Land Use Compatibility for Community Noise Environments) as review criteria.

Policy NO 1-2: Require a noise study and mitigation for all projects that have noise exposure greater than “normally acceptable” levels. Noise mitigation measures include, but are not limited to, the following actions:
x Screen and control noise sources, such as parking and loading facilities, outdoor activities and mechanical equipment,
x Increase setbacks for noise sources from adjacent dwellings, x Retain fences, walls, and landscaping that serve as noise buffers, x Use soundproofing materials and double-glazed windows, and x Control hours of operation, including deliveries and trash pickup, to minimize noise impacts.

Policy NO 1-3: In making a determination of impact under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), consider an increase of four or more DBA to be "significant" if the resulting noise level would exceed that described as normally acceptable for the affected land use in Figure 9-4.

Policy NO 1-4: Periodically conduct noise measurements throughout the community to monitor noise levels and provide base information for improvements.

Policy NO 1-5: Provide appropriate buffers along major transportation facilities when adjacent to noise-sensitive land uses.

Policy NO 1-6: Protect especially sensitive uses, including schools, hospitals, and senior care facilities, from excessive noise, by enforcing “normally acceptable” noise level standards for these uses.

Policy NO 1-7: Discourage the use of sound walls. As a last resort, construct sound walls along highways and arterials when compatible with aesthetic concerns and neighborhood character. This would be a developer’s responsibility.

Policy NO 1-8: The construction of sound walls will be considered where noise mitigation to acceptable levels by other means is not feasible.

Senate Bill 1000 (SB 1000)
The state of California recognizes that environmental justice disparities are a threat to overall quality of life across all communities and has developed various policies, such as Senate Bill 1000 (SB 1000) and the Planning for Healthy Communities Act, to identify and address these environmental justice disparities. The bill was passed in 2016 and serves three important purposes: 1. Reducing harmful pollutants and associated health risks in environmental justice communities;

2. Promoting equitable access to health-inducing benefits; and

3. Promoting transparency and public engagement.

Through SB 1000, the state of California mandates that jurisdictions concurrently updating two or more elements of their General Plan identify “disadvantaged communities,” engage stakeholders in these communities, and adopt either an environmental justice (EJ) element or integrate EJ policies throughout the General Plan to reduce unique and compounded health risks and pollution burdens. The areas in the City that are affected most by development are outlined in the background document for the General Plan, and in the individual elements. Rather than a standalone EJ element, the City has considered EJ issues in every aspect of design for the future.

General Plan Policies and Implementation Strategies
By law the General Plan must address at least the following five health and environmental justice outcomes:

Reduction of pollution exposure, including improvement of air quality; Promotion of public facilities; Promotion of food access; Promotion of safe and sanitary homes; and Promotion of physical activity. The following table lists the policies and strategies from the General Plan Update that address the SB 1000 required topics and are designed to address existing EJ issues in the City and prevent future issues from occurring.

X Policy DS 5-4: Extend the tree-lined wide sidewalks of the Second Street near the B and C Street intersections north to Sutter Street. X
Policy DS 5-6: Establish design standards for a new community commercial corridor that accommodates pedestrians and transit uses along Garden Highway between Franklin and Winship roads. (See Figure 4-7). X Policy DS 5-7: Widen the sidewalks and install pedestrian-scale street light fixtures on Bridge Street from Boyd Streets to 2nd Street to accommodate pedestrians. X Policy DS 5-8: Construct and maintain covered bus shelters at new and existing bus stops along Bridge Street. X
Policy DS 5-9: Place pedestrian amenities such as pedestrian-scale street lighting, benches, and planting strips on the western side of Garden Highway where community commercial core is planned. X X Policy DS 5-10: Design new residential streets with sidewalks, planting strips and traffic-calming elements to create a pedestrian-friendly environment. X
Policy DS 5-11: In order to ensure that street layout in future development incorporates the need for neighborhood connectivity and the comfort and safety of pedestrians and bicyclists consistent with the Community Design Chapter, it is essential that:
x New development be more "connected" to the surroundings with an increased number of access points and pedestrian and bicycle connections to the neighborhood network; x Blocks be short to allow for more direct connections; x Neighborhood streets be designed at a human-scale, without excessive cross-sections; and x Traffic controls, including speed limits, signage and truck routes, restrict commercial traffic in neighborhoods.
x Connections minimize barriers so that people of all physical abilities can enjoy mobility and accessibility in the community.

Goal DS 6-1. Allow for flexibility in streetscapes to accommodate various adjacent land uses.

Policy DS 6-4: Establish a parkway street cross-section as illustrated in Figure 4-5 and 4-6 characterized by the following:
x A landscaped median with a minimum width of 15 feet and trees that will create a continuous, formal appearance.
x A symmetrical tree layout for sidewalk planting strips abutting residential developments. x Separate bike paths on at least one side of the parkway buffered from vehicular traffic by planting strips.
x On-street parking only adjacent to the south park and the “panhandle”. x Sidewalks on both sides of the parkway. Wider sidewalks are allowed when abutting commercial developments.
x A landscaped median is not required for the portions of the parkways adjacent to the south park and the “panhandle”. Instead, devote 7 to 8 feet of space on the side of the parkways away from these areas for on-street parking.

X X
Goal DS 8-1. Promote convenient vehicular and transit access to Regional Activity Centers, with convenient pedestrian access within the centers and to adjacent neighborhoods.

Policy DS 8-1: Using a developer’s master plan or a City-initiated Specific Plan, create two new Regional Activity Centers; one center northwest of the intersection of Route 99 and Bogue Road and one center on Route 20 between George Washington and Township Roads. These plans are to include provisions for the following:
x An integrated mix of regionally-oriented uses;
x Highly landscaped business parks and office parks;
x A unified design theme throughout the development, marked by consistent signage, plantings, street lighting, street furniture, roadway markings, and building design characteristics; x Pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly environments;

Goal DS 11-1. Ensure that the new large-scale commercial and industrial development responds to the surrounding development in its building scale, form, and buffering of adjacent uses.

Policy DS 11-1: Establish the following design standards for new commercial development:
x Orientation requirements so entries face streets. Where development is adjacent to an arterial or parkway, it also needs to be “outward looking” with the perimeter oriented to vehicular traffic. x Prohibitions of blank walls along streets and other publicly visible building elevations. x Build-to-lines – maximum setback distances along pedestrian-oriented streets. x Architectural articulation to modulate the horizontal and vertical scale of large-commercial buildings. x Awnings and canopies on the street-fronting façade along pedestrian-oriented streets to provide weather protection for pedestrians.
x Pedestrian-scale signs throughout new commercial development. x Landscaped strips to separate parking lot from street sidewalks.

X X
Goal DS 12.1-1. Ensure that new large-scale commercial development provides pedestrian access to the surrounding neighborhoods and within the development itself.

Policy DS 12-1: Require community and neighborhood commercial development to provide pedestrian access to the surrounding neighborhoods and within the development complex. X Policy DS 12-2: Require publicly accessible, open space, such as outdoor eating areas, to be integrated into large-scale office and industrial developments. X
Goal DS 16-1. Ensure that new street networks are coherent and provide multimodal access within and between neighborhoods.

Policy DS 16-1: Design local streets to not only accommodate traffic, but also to serve as comfortable pedestrian environments. These should include, but not be limited to:
x Street tree planting adjacent to curb and between the street and sidewalk to provide a buffer between the pedestrian and the automobile, where appropriate; and x Sidewalks on both sides of streets, where feasible.

X

CIRCULATION ELEMENT
Goal CI 1-1. Promote more efficient motor vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian circulation.

Policy CI 1-4: Develop and manage residential streets (i.e., streets with direct driveway access to homes) to limit average daily vehicle traffic volumes to 2,500 or less. X Policy CI 1-5: As appropriate, implement traffic calming measures such as minimum road right of ways, roundabouts, traffic circles, and other measures. X

Policy CI 1-7: Strive to maintain a minimum average distance of one quarter mile between parkway intersections, except in commercial areas or other high-volume traffic areas as determined. X Policy CI 1-9: Provide for greater street connectivity by:
x Incorporating in subdivision regulations requirements for a minimum number of access points to existing local or collector streets for each development (e.g., at least two access points for every 10 acres of development).
x Encouraging traffic circles and roundabouts over signals. x Requiring bicycle and pedestrian connections from cul-de-sacs to nearby public areas and main streets, when feasible.
x Requiring new residential communities adjacent to undeveloped land planned for urban uses to provide stubs for future connections to the edge of the property line. Where stubs exist on adjacent properties, new streets within the development should connect to these stubs.

X
Goal CI 5-1. Make efficient use of existing transportation facilities, and, through the arrangement of land uses, provision of safer and more direct routes for pedestrians and bicyclists, strive to reduce the total vehicle-miles traveled per household.

Policy CI 5-1: When feasible, construct complete streets for new and modified roadways, plan for usage of the roadway space by all users, including motor vehicles, transit vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians (complete streets).

X
Goal CI 6-1. Continue to expand and improve the existing transit and non-motorized network to provide convenient and efficient mobility between residential areas and workplaces, shopping, and other destinations.

Policy CI 6-1: Participate in regional transit planning with other public agencies in the region to enhance regional public transit service in Yuba City. X X

1.Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

1.1 BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
The proposed Yuba City General Plan Update 2040 (proposed project) would replace the existing 2004 General Plan which serves as the City of Yuba’s (City’s) guiding policy document. The proposed project is intended to update policies to remove old references, and to reflect changes in state law regarding level of service (LOS) and vehicle miles travelled (VMT). The existing general plan anticipated a much higher rate of growth than occurred between years 2004 and 2025. The resulting policies were intended to guide a city of 108,377 which is no longer projected by the 2040 horizon year of the proposed project. For continuity, the policy intent of the original document was kept with the proposed project although policies were revised to allow more flexibility in implementation. While the land use map has been revised to reflect annexations and general plan amendments that have occurred since adoption of the 2004 General Plan, there are no new changes to land use designations included as part of the proposed project.

This document serves as the environmental documentation for the City’s proposed General Plan Update. This addendum to the City of Yuba’s General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (certified in February 2004; State Clearinghouse Number 2001072105) demonstrates that the analysis in that EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that the proposed project would not trigger any of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for further environmental review.

1.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project includes comprehensive updates to the required elements under the State Planning and Zoning Law, as well as other optional elements that the City has elected to include in its General Plan.

Growth and Economic Development. This element continues to support Yuba City by providing a framework of guiding goals and polices to foster a robust economy, ensuring its fiscal and financial stability, and collaborating with the private sector to ensure adequate infrastructure. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan and updates its existing background to reflect the current conditions.

Land Use. This Element presents the framework for land use planning in Yuba City up to 2040, outlining the city's evolution, existing land use, objectives, General Plan Diagram, land use classification system, and the plan's buildout. The maps in the element were updated to reflect annexations in the southeast area of the City such as the Bogue-Stewart Specific Plan area bounded by Franklin Avenue to the north; the City’s Sphere of influence to the east; Lincoln Road and Garden Highway (within the Bunce Road/Clark Avenue limits) to the south, Bunce Road, and Clark Avenue to the west.

CITY OF YUBA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

Community Design. The Community Design Element in Yuba City aims to preserve and enhance the city's small town feel and rural heritage. It provides policies focusing on the rural/urban edge, key vehicular gateways, connections, corridors, urban activity centers, commercial and industrial areas, and neighborhoods. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan.

Circulation. This element changed the Level of Service (LOS) from a requirement to overall goal reflecting the change in environmental significance from LOS to vehicle miles travelled (VMT). LOS remains a planning goal, but is no longer mandated giving the City flexibility in road design and application. VMT is added as a goal reflecting the state guidance.

Parks, Schools, and Community Facilities. This element details Yuba City’s long-term plan for the development and maintenance of parks, schools, and community facilities. This element introduces Neighborhood Park as a new park type and sets its classification. This element also introduces policies that consider public facilities and disadvantaged communities in regard to new parkland.

Public Utilities. This element outlines policies and provisions for public utilities like water supply, wastewater treatment, and solid waste handling, emphasizing the importance of adequate facilities for successful implementation. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan and updates its existing background to reflect the current conditions.

Safety. Under this proposed General Plan, this element is its own stand-alone chapter while in the existing General Plan is combined with Noise. The California Government Code's Section 65302(g) mandates the Safety Element to address natural and climate-related hazards in Yuba City. This element addresses various hazards such as seismic, geologic, flood, fire, agriculture, emergency preparedness, hazardous waste, climate-related hazards, and nutrition and food deserts. The maps updated to reflect hazards of concern such as flood zones, dam inundation zones, fire hazard severity and wildland-urban interface zones, and evacuation-constrained areas. This element also includes policies that prioritizing food access in disadvantaged communities.

Noise. Under this proposed General Plan, this element is its own stand-alone chapter while in the existing General Plan is combined with Safety. This element is closely linked to land use, circulation, and housing, guiding land use and transportation facilities due to their common sources of excessive noise levels. This element introduces a policy which mandates regular noise measurements in the community to monitor levels and inform improvements as well as another policy which mandates buffers along major transportation facilities near noise-sensitive land uses. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan.

Conservation. This element addresses topics including open space, agriculture, cultural resources, biological resources, and air quality. This element adds additional policies aimed to implement agricultural buffer, protect rural lands and open space from future developments. This element also adds addition policies aimed to increase collaborate with Native American tribal and adhering to California Government Code Section 65352.3. The air quality section also adds policies that aim to protect disadvantage communities.

Housing. This element provides an understanding of the city’s housing needs and the goals, policies and programs that have been developed to help meet those needs and how they are consistent with other policies of this General Plan. Under State law, the Housing Element is regularly updated in cycles and assessed as required by CEQA at that time. Currently, the Housing Element was most recently adopted on March 1, 2022. The next

update cycle for the Housing Element is scheduled to be due in 2029. The General Plan update does not include an update to the Housing Element as part of the project.

1.3 GENERAL PLAN EIR
The existing General Plan policies are designed to avoid or minimize environmental impacts, resulting in a selfmitigating Plan. As such, most of the impacts identified in the EIR are less than significant. However, the General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to the relative degradation of air quality and the loss of agricultural land. These impacts are summarized below.

Air Quality
Development under the General Plan could lead to increased emissions of carbon monoxide, ozone precursors, and particulate matter in Yuba City, and degradation of local air quality. Vehicle Miles traveled (VMT) in Yuba City is expected to increase at a faster rate than assumed for the Sacramento Valley as a whole. This may mean that, while overall air quality is expected to improve, the localized air quality in the Yuba City area may not improve as much, relative to the Sacramento Valley overall. Also, because of increased traffic volumes on city streets, increased emissions levels may degrade air quality alongside major streets, at intersections, and on adjacent sites. The General Plan includes many policies and provisions to reduce overall commuting, decrease vehicle use within the city and within new neighborhoods, and increase use of alternative transportation modes (such as buses and bicycles). Relative to the existing General Plan, a better jobs/housing balance would occur, resulting in fewer commuting miles overall. However, the substantial population growth that could occur under the proposed project would cause an increase in VMT, which in turn would increase criteria air pollutant emissions (Yuba 2004, pg. 5-1).

Agricultural
The General Plan would result in conversion of 5,882 acres of farmland to urban uses. Even though the County General Plan has not identified this land for long-term agricultural use, this loss of agricultural land would have a significant impact (Yuba 2004, pg. 5-1).

1.4 PROJECT SUMMARY
CEQA requires the City to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with direct and reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes to the environment. The proposed project would ensure the City follows current State regulations and would address the current and future needs of Yuba City. The goals and policies in General Plan 2040 would guide development and conservation through 2040. The General Plan 2040 Update also includes minor edits to the remainder of the General Plan to revise the discussion of existing conditions, reflect changes to local and regional priorities, and ensure internal consistency with other elements and compliance with State law. Table 1-1, Yuba City Sphere of Influence and Population at Plan Buildout, shows the proposed project’s population projections based on average buildout densities for new residential land uses and new housing units (Yuba 2023, pg. 3-15).

1.5 PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM
According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously adopted EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1)–(3) calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations):

Section 15162
When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration 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 or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (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 or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(c) Mitigation Programs 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 Program or alternative; or (d) Mitigation Programs or alternatives which 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 Program or alternative.

1.5.1 Rationale for Preparing an EIR Addendum
Since, there have been CEQA changes since 2004 in regard to analyzing environmental topics, this addendum serves to analyze the changes and determine whether the proposed project would result in significant changes that were not analyzed or considered in the EIR. Table 1-2, High-Level CEQA Changes, summarizes the high

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE YUBA CITY GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2040

CITY OF YUBA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

level CEQA changes that have occurred after the adoption of the 2004 General Plan EIR. Table 1-2 also provides analysis of these changes to the proposed project.

As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR):
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.

A copy of this addendum, and all supporting documentation, may be reviewed or obtained at the City of Yuba Development Services Department, 1201 Civic Center Blvd. Yuba City, California 95993.

Table 1-2 High-Level CEQA Changes
Topic Date Overview Analysis
Tribal Consultation
AB 52 2015 Amended CEQA to create a separate category of cultural resources, “tribal cultural resources” (Pub. Resources Code §21074) and provides that a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment (Pub.

Resources Code §21084.2). Public agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource. (Pub. Resources Code §21084.3 (a)).

Applies to any project for which a notice of preparation, a notice of negative declaration, or a mitigated negative declaration is filed on or after July 1, 2015.

This Addendum serves a previously certified EIR, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines. An Addendum was determined to be the most appropriate document because none of the conditions described in Section 15162, calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR or MND, have occurred. The Addendum addresses minor technical changes or additions and confirms that the proposed project is consistent with what was previously analyzed under the 2004 EIR. Therefore, the AB 52 procedures specified in PRC Sections 21080.3. 1(d) and 21080.3.2 do not apply and no tribal consultation under AB 52 is required.

Subsequent projects facilitated by the General Plan Update would still be required to follow AB 52 and other tribal regulations SB 18 2005 Requires local governments to contact, provide notice to, refer plans to, and consult with tribes prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan or a specific plan, or the designation of open space. (Gov. Code §65352.3).

This regulation would not change the impacts in the previous EIR but rather gives tribes the opportunity for consultation on the proposed project.

Subsequent projects facilitated by the General Plan Update would still be required to follow SB 18 and other tribal regulations Transportation
SB 743 2013 Amended CEQA Guidelines to change how lead agencies evaluate transportation impacts under CEQA, with the goal of better measuring the actual transportation-related environmental impacts of any given project.

Evaluated by examining whether the project is likely to cause automobile delay at intersections and congestion on nearby individual highway segments, and whether this delay will exceed a certain amount (Level of Service analysis).

Starting on July 1, 2020, agencies analyzing the transportation impacts of new projects must now look at a metric known as vehicle miles traveled (VMT) instead of LOS. VMT measures how much actual auto travel (additional miles driven) a proposed project would create on California roads. If the project adds excessive car travel onto our roads, the project may cause a significant transportation impact.

As noted in Section 1.2, General Plan EIR, the General Plan EIR analyzes the General Plan VMT impact when evaluating Air Quality Impacts.

The analysis provided adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project as the General Plan EIR analyzed a higher population than that proposed for the General Plan update.

Therefore, this analysis is conservative, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would be qualitatively less, and the project will not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

Parking 2010 Governor’s Office of Planning and Research amended Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines to remove the significance criterion about inadequate parking capacity.

This change removes an environmental impact that would be analyzed; therefore the proposed project would not result in any new changes.

Energy
Amendments
to the CEQA
Guidelines
2019 The revised CEQA Guidelines also add a new impact category – “Energy” – to Appendix G, incorporating the changes to Section 15126.2(b).

Section 15126.2(b) was added to the Guidelines to capture the requirements in Appendix F (Energy Conservation). The section requires an analysis of a project’s energy use to determine if the project will result in significant effects due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary use of energy.

This analysis should include the project’s energy use for all project phases and components, including transportation-related energy, during construction and operation. This analysis is subject to the rule of reason and shall focus on energy use that is caused by the project—a full “lifecycle” analysis that would account for energy used in building materials and consumer products will generally not be required.

A new question was also added to the CEQA Checklist related to use of energy resources and potential conflicts with state or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency.

The General Plan EIR analyzes energy sources from new development under Section 5.2, Irreversible Environmental Changes, stating that new development under General Plan requires energy from existing sources, causing irreversible environmental change and increased nonrenewable resource usage.

The 2040 General Plan Update’s Safety Element includes energy policies for new development; however impacts regarding energy under the proposed project would be similar to those in the 2004 General Plan EIR. As a result, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR or result in a new significant impact.

Climate Change
Amendments
to the CEQA
Guidelines
2019 Section 15064.4 Determining the Significance of Impacts from Greenhouse Gas Emissions, has been amended in the following manner:

Subsection (a) has been revised to replace the word “should” with “shall” with regard to a lead agency’s duty to make a good faith effort to estimate or describe a project’s greenhouse gas emissions. The Natural Resources Agency (“Agency”) made this change to clarify that lead agencies must not just provide information regarding climate change but decide of whether a project’s GHG emissions are significant.

Subsection (b) has been revised to add four new sentences. - The first sentence clarifies that the focus of analysis must be on the project’s effect on climate change, not simply a quantification of emissions and/or comparison of how a project’s emissions compare to statewide or global emissions.

The Agency also clarified that only a project’s “reasonably Greenhouse gas emissions are considered in the 2004 General Plan EIR when analyzing burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation.

The 2004 General Plan EIR determined development under the existing General Plan requires energy from existing sources, causing irreversible environmental change and increased nonrenewable resource usage. The 2004 General Plan EIR also determined that the population growth under the existing General Plan would cause an increase in VMT, which in turn would increase criteria air pollutant emissions.

The analysis provided adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project since the General Plan EIR estimates a higher population and units than the proposed project; therefore this analysis is conservative. (see Section 2.1, Environmental Analysis below) As a result, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would be qualitatively less, and the project will not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR.

foreseeable incremental contribution” to the effects of climate change need be evaluated, and that lead agencies need not and should not speculate.
- The second sentence clarifies that a project’s incremental contribution may be cumulatively considerable even if it appears relatively small compared to statewide, national or global emissions.
- The third sentence requires lead agencies to consider a timeframe for the analysis that is appropriate for the project, perhaps driven by a project’s intended life or by the length of time over which it will be implemented.
- The fourth sentence clarifies that a lead agency’s analysis must reasonably reflect evolving scientific knowledge and state regulatory schemes so as to “stay in step with evolving scientific knowledge and state regulatory schemes.”
Subsection (b)(3) was amended to clarify that in determining the significance of a project’s impacts, the lead agency may consider a project’s consistency with the State’s long-term climate goals or strategies, provided that substantial evidence supports the agency’s analysis of how those goals or strategies address the project’s incremental contribution to climate change and its conclusion that the project’s incremental contribution is consistent with those plans, goals, or strategies. As the Court stated in Center for Biological Diversity v.

Dept. of Fish & Wildlife (2015) 62 Cal.4th 204, 227, lead agencies must establish through substantial evidence “a quantitative equivalence” between a given statewide plan’s comparison and the EIR’s project-level comparison.

Subsection (c) mainly reflects language previously located in subsection (a)(1) regarding a lead agency’s discretion to select a model or methodology to quantify emissions. The Agency meant to clarify that models play a role not only in estimating a project’s greenhouse gas emissions, but also in determining baseline emissions and applying thresholds. As noted by the Agency when a single quantitative method is used, the lead agency must research and document the quantitative parameters essential to that method. (Center for Biological Diversity v.

Dept. of Fish & Wildlife (2015) 62 Cal.4th 204, 228
SB 32 SB 32 requires that California Air Resources Board (CARB) in its next update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan “ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to at least 40 percent below the statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit no later than December 31, 2030” (new Health and Safety Code Section 38566).

SB 32 required CARB to prepare another update to the Scoping Plan to address the 2030 target for the state
As mentioned, this regulation does not directly affect GHG impacts but rather directs CARB to set GHG thresholds of significance with SB 32. It is up to the lead

agency to establish thresholds for GHG impacts. Additionally, the General Plan EIR has already assessed GHG impacts as noted above.

Wildfire
Amendments
to the CEQA
Guidelines
2019 A new Section XX has been added to Appendix G to address the need to evaluate wildfire impacts. This section focuses on whether projects located in or near state responsibility areas (where the state has financial responsibility of preventing and suppressing fires), or lands classified as very high fire severity zones by local agencies, would:
- “Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan;”
- “Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire;”
- “Require the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines, or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that may result in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment;” or
- “Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding or landslides, as a result of runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes.” CalFire publishes Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps for all regions.

Lead agencies and project proponents can review the CalFire maps to determine whether a given project site will be subject to the new CEQA wildfire impacts analysis.

According to CALFIRE mapping, portions of Yuba City are within a Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zone in Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) (CALFIRE 2007).

Although the 2004 EIR does not analyze impacts in regard to wildfire, the City’s existing Safety Element and 2007 Sutter County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) addressed wildfire impacts for the City of Yuba.

The Sutter County MHMP states that wildfire was of limited concern to Yuba City since the city had no history of large damaging fires and considered moderately vulnerable to wildfires. No further analysis was conducted (Sutter 2007, pg. 221). Since the city is mapped as Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zone, then the analysis in the Sutter County MHP would still apply.

The existing Safety Element provides information for the protection of the community from unreasonable risk associated with the effects of wildland and urban fires. The Safey Element included policies that would address wildfire impacts such as Policy 9.4-I-1 which states to maintain the fire department performance objectives and response standards for structure and wildland fires; Policy 9.4-I-6 which reviewed proposed development for compliance with adopted fire safety standards and staffing ratios; Policy 9.4-I-7 which states to conduct building and fire code enforcement to ensure safe structures; and Policy 9.4-I-8 which requires to extend water distribution pipes to maintain and improve fire water flows.

The proposed Safety Element acknowledges low wildfire risk in Yuba City, but drier weather and climate change are expected to increase wildfires in Sutter County and surrounding areas. The proposed Safety Element would include similar and additional policies aimed at reducing wildfire impacts. Impact 3.10b in the General Plan EIR analyzes if new development would interference with an existing emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan.

Impact 3.11a and 3.11b in the General Plan EIR analyzes if new development in Yuba City could be subject to the effects of geologic hazards.

As a result, there is no new information of substantial importance that the General Plan update would result in any of the conditions of CEQA Guidelines section 15162(3) being triggered with regarding to wildfire impacts.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR
November 2024 Page 11
SB 1260 2018 SB 1260 establishes additional requirements for local general plans and subdivisions relative to regulating new development in very high hazardous fire areas and the review of safety elements, regulatory standards, and subdivision maps by the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. This bill provides that the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Vegetation Treatment Program Programmatic EIR, when certified, will serve as the programmatic environmental document for prescribed fires initiated by a third party authorized by CalFire.

This would not affect Yuba City as the city is not within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone designated by CalFire. (See discussion, above.) SB 1241 2013 SB 1241 amends the general plan safety element requirements for state responsibility areas (SRAs) and very high fire hazard severity zones and require the safety element, at the next revision of the housing element on or after January 1, 2014, and thereafter upon each revision of the housing element, to be reviewed and updated as necessary to address the risk of fire in SRAs and very high fire hazard severity zones, considering specified considerations. SB 1241 requires OPR, on or after January 1, 2013, in cooperation with the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, to prepare, develop, and transmit to the Secretary of the Natural Resources Agency recommended proposed amendments to the Initial Study checklist for the inclusion of questions related to fire hazard impacts for projects in SRAs and very high fire hazard severity zones. The Secretary will be required to adopt revisions to the Initial Study checklist in this regard.

This would not affect Yuba City as the city is not within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone designated by CalFire. (See discussion, above.) Housing/Land Use
AB 1739 This bill is part of the 2014 groundwater management legislation package (other bills are SB 1168 and SB 1319) and addresses the formation and responsibility of “groundwater sustainability agencies.” Water Code Section 10736.2 establishes a new statutory exemption for “any action or failure to act” by the State Water Resources Control Board under its authority to review proposed groundwater sustainability plans and to designate a basin as a probationary basin.

CEQA would still apply to the adoption or amendment of an interim plan pursuant to Section 10735.8.

Provides CEQA exemptions for the preparation and adoption of GSPs As the proposed project is a General Plan Update, this regulation does not apply, nor does it affect impacts.

The GP EIR analyzes groundwater under Impact 3-6a and 3-6b which both determined that the buildout from the existing General Plan would not result in significant impacts to groundwater resources.

Given the proposed project would not result in land use changes nor an increase in population for the planning horizon year of 2040, the impacts determined in the General Plan EIR would be adequate for the proposed project. As a result, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would be qualitatively not more than, or less than, that previously assessed, the project will not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR.

risks in environmental justice communities, and promote equitable access to health-inducing benefits, such as healthy food options, housing, public facilities, and recreation.

The inclusion of this Element would not either be part of a project subject to CEQA, or would be the communication and outreach requirements leading to a future action, the policies, actions, and goals. As such, it would not result in physical environmental impacts, would not result in any of the conditions of CEQA Guidelines section 15162(3) being met, and as a result no additional analysis is required by this Addendum.

2. CEQA Analysis

2.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project contains policies related to agriculture, land use, circulation, climate change, housing, conservation, open space, economic development, historic resources, community design, environmental justice, air quality, noise, and safety. While the proposed update will incorporate the Housing Element approved as part of the most recent review cycle, the Housing Element has already been environmentally assessed through an Addendum to the General Plan EIR and no changes are being proposed to the same, and the proposed project will be consistent with the adopted Housing Element. The General Plan is largely designed to be selfmitigating by incorporating policies and implementation programs that address and mitigate environmental impacts related to implementing the General Plan.

As depicted in Table 1-1, the proposed project’s projected population in 2040 is104,740. The existing General Plan’s projected population in 2025 was projected to be 108,377. According to the Department of Finance (DOF), the Yuba City Sphere of Influence (SOI), including the City of Yuba City and surrounding unincorporated areas, contained approximately 89,437 people as of 2023 (DOF 2023). As described in greater detail, above, the current (2023) and proposed (2040) population for the City and SOI are both below what is analyzed in the General Plan EIR, impacts analyzed under the General Plan EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project. While plan-to-plan analysis is generally not used, in this context it is appropriate because the growth anticipated in the existing General Plan and evaluated in the EIR has not yet materialized and will remain below the original projections. Therefore, the analysis in the EIR that anticipated development remains valid because the projected population with the proposed project is below the originally projected figures. Additionally, the policies and ordinances included with the existing General Plan remain in place to mitigate the impacts of the proposed project. Similarly, the development standards adopted to implement the existing General Plan that would help with drainage, road development, noise, dust control, and other construction impacts also remain in place and would apply to the proposed project. As a result, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would be qualitatively less, the project will not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR, none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15163(a)(1-3), and an addendum is warranted consistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15164(a).

Table 1-2 provides a high-level overview of CEQA changes that have occurred since the adoption of the Yuba City General Plan EIR and certification of the General Plan EIR. Table 1-2 also provides analysis of these changes in regard to the proposed project. As shown in Table 1-2 the changes to CEQA since certification of the EIR would not significantly affect the proposed project or the impacts analyzed in the General Plan EIR.

CITY OF YUBA

2. CEQA Analysis

2.2 FINDINGS
The discussion in this addendum confirms that the proposed project has been evaluated for significant impacts pursuant to CEQA. The discussion is meaningfully different than a determination that a project is “exempt” from CEQA review because the proposed General Plan Update is not exempt. Rather, the determination here is that the General Plan Update does not require major revisions to the General Plan EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental impacts or substantial increases to the severity of previously identified significant environmental impacts. Among others, this is because the proposed update is focused on refining and refreshing policy issues to be consistent with the latest requirements and practice standards and does not propose changes to land use or other items that could have an impact greater than that which has already been fully assessed. Furthermore, future development projects facilitated by the General Plan Update would continue to be subject to the requirements of CEQA as to any project-level environmental review that may be required. In addition, the General Plan Update’s projected population for the horizon year is less than the projected population described in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the General Plan EIR provides a sufficient and adequate analysis of the environmental impacts of the proposed General Plan.

There are no substantial changes in the circumstances or new information that was not known and could not have been known at the time of the adoption of the General Plan EIR. The proposed project consists entirely of land uses permitted by project sites’ existing General Plan land use designation and zoning and represents no change from the impacts that were assumed and analyzed by the General Plan EIR.

As a result, and for the reasons explained in this addendum, the project would not cause any new significant environmental impacts or substantially increase the severity of significant environmental impacts disclosed in the General Plan EIR. Thus, the proposed project does not trigger any of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 allowing the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and the appropriate environmental document as authorized by CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(b) is an addendum. This EIR addendum has been prepared accordingly.

The following identifies the standards set forth in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines as they relate to the proposed project.

1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which would require major revisions of the EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.

No substantial changes are being proposed in the project as contemplated by this standard. Instead, this project merely proposes refinements to address the latest legal requirements and refreshes policies best practices for general plans, etc. As described in Table 1-2, which highlights and evaluates these refinements within the context of CEQA, these changes in law and best practices are not “substantial” as compared to the existing General Plan. Any modifications to an element that could potentially result in additional physical impacts to the environment (such as changes to land use, intensity of development, and potential resulting effects on noise, traffic, air quality, GHG, agricultural land conversion, etc.) are simply not present here. Instead, the proposed refinements essentially maintain at or below the existing status quo regarding environmental impacts. Further, there

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE YUBA CITY GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2040

CITY OF YUBA

2. CEQA Analysis
November 2024 Page 15
are no new significant environmental effects that were not previously assessed in the General Plan EIR. Given that the proposed project is not proposing substantial changes, the update would not result in physical changes more substantial than those already assessed, then no major revisions of the General Plan EIR are required.

Likewise, the proposed refinements would not result in the severity of any previously identified significant effects that were assessed in the General Plan EIR.

2. No 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 EIR was certified shows:
a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR.

As previously discussed, the proposed project would result in a smaller, less impactful, population and resulting buildout as compared to that currently anticipated by the current General Plan. This means that the proposed refinements would qualitatively result in environmental impacts at or below the existing status quo. These status quo effects have already been discussed and analyzed in the General Plan EIR. There is no substantial evidence in the record that the update to the General Plan will have one or more significant effects not previously assessed in the General Plan EIR. b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR.

As previously discussed, the proposed project does not introduce new changes to land use, population, intensity of development, or other items which could have a substantially more sever impact. Instead, the proposed refinements would result in a reduction of approximately 3,600 people as part of the resulting buildout. Given the General Plan EIR analyzed a greater population and impacts, the proposed refinements would qualitatively result in environmental impacts at or below those assessed in the General Plan EIR. Further, there is no substantial evidence that any of the significant effects previously examined would be more severe than as shown in the General Plan EIR. Therefore, the assessment impacts in the General Plan EIR are adequate for the proposed project as contemplated by CEQA.
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.

The 2004 General Plan did have mitigation and alternatives determined to be infeasible. With regard to alternatives, the “no project” alternative was not found to be not feasible in the EIR. The “no project” alternative remains infeasible for not only the reasons previously identified by the City when approving the General Plan in 2004, but also because there has been intervening development consistent with the 2004 General Plan and i) it is now not reasonably feasible to turn back time to original “no project” development under the prior (pre 2004) General Plan; and ii) the current “no project” would be to retain the existing 2004 General Plan which would not result in a General Plan consistent with state law. The same logic applies to Sketch Plan Alternative A and Sketch Plan Alternative B, both of which were identified as more environmentally impactful than the proposed 2004 General Plan. (See General Plan EIR p. 4-17.) The proposed project does not make any land use or policy changes that would reduce the environmental impacts to either Alternative A or Alternative B as

ADDENDUM TO THE GENERAL PLAN EIR FOR THE YUBA CITY GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2040

CITY OF YUBA

2. CEQA Analysis

evaluated in the General Plan EIR to a level where adopting them would make sense. There were no other alternatives identified in the General Plan EIR and as noted in this Addendum, there are no changes to the General Plan in the proposed project that would result in the need for a new alternative.

Additionally, the General Plan EIR acknowledged significant, unavoidable impacts created by full implementation of the General Plan for the relative degradation of air quality in the immediate Yuba City area and the loss of agricultural land. While several policies and other items served to reduce the impacts, no specific proposed mitigation was identified which was then found to be infeasible. General findings were made that no additional mitigation was feasible. (See General Plan EIR, p. 3-48, 3-83.) Regardless, nothing has changed that would now render mitigation measures and alternatives feasible for the refinement to the General Plan for all of the same reasons previously identified by the City as part of approval of the General Plan and its EIR. As a result, the analysis for this item has been satisfied.. d. Mitigation measures or alternatives which 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.

There are no mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the General Plan EIR. Likewise, any such mitigation or alternatives would not reduce one or more significant effects of the significant impacts on agricultural or air quality. The proposed project would have the same, or slightly reduced significant impacts as the previously certified General Plan EIR, and all associated policies and mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR to reduce physical environmental effects would apply to all future development and have the same mitigating effect. As previously noted, this project merely proposes refinements to address the latest legal requirements and refreshes policies best practices for general plans, etc., while maintaining the same underlying land uses or otherwise reducing environmental impacts as compared to the existing General Plan. There would be no new significant impacts resulting from adoption of the General Plan Update; therefore, there would be no new mitigation measures or alternatives required for the proposed project.

1.Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

1.1 BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
The proposed Yuba City General Plan Update 2040 (proposed project) would replace the existing 2004 General Plan which serves as the City of Yuba’s (City’s) guiding policy document. The proposed project is intended to update policies to remove old references, and to reflect changes in state law regarding level of service (LOS) and vehicle miles travelled (VMT). The existing general plan anticipated a much higher rate of growth than occurred between years 2004 and 2025. The resulting policies were intended to guide a city of 108,377 which is no longer projected by the 2040 horizon year of the proposed project. For continuity, the policy intent of the original document was kept with the proposed project although policies were revised to allow more flexibility in implementation. While the land use map has been revised to reflect annexations and general plan amendments that have occurred since adoption of the 2004 General Plan, there are no new changes to land use designations included as part of the proposed project.

This document serves as the environmental documentation for the City’s proposed General Plan Update. This addendum to the City of Yuba’s General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (certified in February 2004; State Clearinghouse Number 2001072105) demonstrates that the analysis in that EIR adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project and that the proposed project would not trigger any of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for further environmental review.

1.2 PROPOSED PROJECT
The proposed project includes comprehensive updates to the required elements under the State Planning and Zoning Law, as well as other optional elements that the City has elected to include in its General Plan.

Growth and Economic Development. This element continues to support Yuba City by providing a framework of guiding goals and polices to foster a robust economy, ensuring its fiscal and financial stability, and collaborating with the private sector to ensure adequate infrastructure. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan and updates its existing background to reflect the current conditions.

Land Use. This Element presents the framework for land use planning in Yuba City up to 2040, outlining the city's evolution, existing land use, objectives, General Plan Diagram, land use classification system, and the plan's buildout. The maps in the element were updated to reflect annexations in the southeast area of the City such as the Bogue-Stewart Specific Plan area bounded by Franklin Avenue to the north; the City’s Sphere of influence to the east; Lincoln Road and Garden Highway (within the Bunce Road/Clark Avenue limits) to the south, Bunce Road, and Clark Avenue to the west.

CITY OF YUBA

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

Community Design. The Community Design Element in Yuba City aims to preserve and enhance the city's small town feel and rural heritage. It provides policies focusing on the rural/urban edge, key vehicular gateways, connections, corridors, urban activity centers, commercial and industrial areas, and neighborhoods. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan.

Circulation. This element changed the Level of Service (LOS) from a requirement to overall goal reflecting the change in environmental significance from LOS to vehicle miles travelled (VMT). LOS remains a planning goal, but is no longer mandated giving the City flexibility in road design and application. VMT is added as a goal reflecting the state guidance.

Parks, Schools, and Community Facilities. This element details Yuba City’s long-term plan for the development and maintenance of parks, schools, and community facilities. This element introduces Neighborhood Park as a new park type and sets its classification. This element also introduces policies that consider public facilities and disadvantaged communities in regard to new parkland.

Public Utilities. This element outlines policies and provisions for public utilities like water supply, wastewater treatment, and solid waste handling, emphasizing the importance of adequate facilities for successful implementation. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan and updates its existing background to reflect the current conditions.

Safety. Under this proposed General Plan, this element is its own stand-alone chapter while in the existing General Plan is combined with Noise. The California Government Code's Section 65302(g) mandates the Safety Element to address natural and climate-related hazards in Yuba City. This element addresses various hazards such as seismic, geologic, flood, fire, agriculture, emergency preparedness, hazardous waste, climate-related hazards, and nutrition and food deserts. The maps updated to reflect hazards of concern such as flood zones, dam inundation zones, fire hazard severity and wildland-urban interface zones, and evacuation-constrained areas. This element also includes policies that prioritizing food access in disadvantaged communities.

Noise. Under this proposed General Plan, this element is its own stand-alone chapter while in the existing General Plan is combined with Safety. This element is closely linked to land use, circulation, and housing, guiding land use and transportation facilities due to their common sources of excessive noise levels. This element introduces a policy which mandates regular noise measurements in the community to monitor levels and inform improvements as well as another policy which mandates buffers along major transportation facilities near noise-sensitive land uses. This element continues similar policies as in the existing General Plan.

Conservation. This element addresses topics including open space, agriculture, cultural resources, biological resources, and air quality. This element adds additional policies aimed to implement agricultural buffer, protect rural lands and open space from future developments. This element also adds addition policies aimed to increase collaborate with Native American tribal and adhering to California Government Code Section 65352.3. The air quality section also adds policies that aim to protect disadvantage communities.

Housing. This element provides an understanding of the city’s housing needs and the goals, policies and programs that have been developed to help meet those needs and how they are consistent with other policies of this General Plan. Under State law, the Housing Element is regularly updated in cycles and assessed as required by CEQA at that time. Currently, the Housing Element was most recently adopted on March 1, 2022. The next

update cycle for the Housing Element is scheduled to be due in 2029. The General Plan update does not include an update to the Housing Element as part of the project.

1.3 GENERAL PLAN EIR
The existing General Plan policies are designed to avoid or minimize environmental impacts, resulting in a selfmitigating Plan. As such, most of the impacts identified in the EIR are less than significant. However, the General Plan EIR determined that implementation of the General Plan would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to the relative degradation of air quality and the loss of agricultural land. These impacts are summarized below.

Air Quality
Development under the General Plan could lead to increased emissions of carbon monoxide, ozone precursors, and particulate matter in Yuba City, and degradation of local air quality. Vehicle Miles traveled (VMT) in Yuba City is expected to increase at a faster rate than assumed for the Sacramento Valley as a whole. This may mean that, while overall air quality is expected to improve, the localized air quality in the Yuba City area may not improve as much, relative to the Sacramento Valley overall. Also, because of increased traffic volumes on city streets, increased emissions levels may degrade air quality alongside major streets, at intersections, and on adjacent sites. The General Plan includes many policies and provisions to reduce overall commuting, decrease vehicle use within the city and within new neighborhoods, and increase use of alternative transportation modes (such as buses and bicycles). Relative to the existing General Plan, a better jobs/housing balance would occur, resulting in fewer commuting miles overall. However, the substantial population growth that could occur under the proposed project would cause an increase in VMT, which in turn would increase criteria air pollutant emissions (Yuba 2004, pg. 5-1).

Agricultural
The General Plan would result in conversion of 5,882 acres of farmland to urban uses. Even though the County General Plan has not identified this land for long-term agricultural use, this loss of agricultural land would have a significant impact (Yuba 2004, pg. 5-1).

1.4 PROJECT SUMMARY
CEQA requires the City to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with direct and reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes to the environment. The proposed project would ensure the City follows current State regulations and would address the current and future needs of Yuba City. The goals and policies in General Plan 2040 would guide development and conservation through 2040. The General Plan 2040 Update also includes minor edits to the remainder of the General Plan to revise the discussion of existing conditions, reflect changes to local and regional priorities, and ensure internal consistency with other elements and compliance with State law. Table 1-1, Yuba City Sphere of Influence and Population at Plan Buildout, shows the proposed project’s population projections based on average buildout densities for new residential land uses and new housing units (Yuba 2023, pg. 3-15).

1.5 PURPOSE OF AN EIR ADDENDUM
According to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a), an addendum shall be prepared if some changes or additions to a previously adopted EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions enumerated in CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(a)(1)–(3) calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations):

Section 15162
When an EIR has been certified or negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration 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 or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (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 or negative declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(a) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(b) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(c) Mitigation Programs 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 Program or alternative; or (d) Mitigation Programs or alternatives which 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 Program or alternative.

1.5.1 Rationale for Preparing an EIR Addendum
Since, there have been CEQA changes since 2004 in regard to analyzing environmental topics, this addendum serves to analyze the changes and determine whether the proposed project would result in significant changes that were not analyzed or considered in the EIR. Table 1-2, High-Level CEQA Changes, summarizes the high

level CEQA changes that have occurred after the adoption of the 2004 General Plan EIR. Table 1-2 also provides analysis of these changes to the proposed project.

As stated in CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (Addendum to an EIR):
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred. (c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision-making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.

A copy of this addendum, and all supporting documentation, may be reviewed or obtained at the City of Yuba Development Services Department, 1201 Civic Center Blvd. Yuba City, California 95993.

Table 1-2 High-Level CEQA Changes
Topic Date Overview Analysis
Tribal Consultation
AB 52 2015 Amended CEQA to create a separate category of cultural resources, “tribal cultural resources” (Pub. Resources Code §21074) and provides that a project with an effect that may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource is a project that may have a significant effect on the environment (Pub.

Resources Code §21084.2). Public agencies shall, when feasible, avoid damaging effects to any tribal cultural resource. (Pub. Resources Code §21084.3 (a)).

Applies to any project for which a notice of preparation, a notice of negative declaration, or a mitigated negative declaration is filed on or after July 1, 2015.

This Addendum serves a previously certified EIR, in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines. An Addendum was determined to be the most appropriate document because none of the conditions described in Section 15162, calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR or MND, have occurred. The Addendum addresses minor technical changes or additions and confirms that the proposed project is consistent with what was previously analyzed under the 2004 EIR. Therefore, the AB 52 procedures specified in PRC Sections 21080.3. 1(d) and 21080.3.2 do not apply and no tribal consultation under AB 52 is required.

Subsequent projects facilitated by the General Plan Update would still be required to follow AB 52 and other tribal regulations SB 18 2005 Requires local governments to contact, provide notice to, refer plans to, and consult with tribes prior to the adoption or amendment of a general plan or a specific plan, or the designation of open space. (Gov. Code §65352.3).

This regulation would not change the impacts in the previous EIR but rather gives tribes the opportunity for consultation on the proposed project.

Subsequent projects facilitated by the General Plan Update would still be required to follow SB 18 and other tribal regulations Transportation
SB 743 2013 Amended CEQA Guidelines to change how lead agencies evaluate transportation impacts under CEQA, with the goal of better measuring the actual transportation-related environmental impacts of any given project.

Evaluated by examining whether the project is likely to cause automobile delay at intersections and congestion on nearby individual highway segments, and whether this delay will exceed a certain amount (Level of Service analysis).

Starting on July 1, 2020, agencies analyzing the transportation impacts of new projects must now look at a metric known as vehicle miles traveled (VMT) instead of LOS. VMT measures how much actual auto travel (additional miles driven) a proposed project would create on California roads. If the project adds excessive car travel onto our roads, the project may cause a significant transportation impact.

As noted in Section 1.2, General Plan EIR, the General Plan EIR analyzes the General Plan VMT impact when evaluating Air Quality Impacts.

The analysis provided adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project as the General Plan EIR analyzed a higher population than that proposed for the General Plan update.

Therefore, this analysis is conservative, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would be qualitatively less, and the project will not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR.

1. Addendum to the Adopted General Plan EIR

Parking 2010 Governor’s Office of Planning and Research amended Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines to remove the significance criterion about inadequate parking capacity.

This change removes an environmental impact that would be analyzed; therefore the proposed project would not result in any new changes.

Energy
Amendments
to the CEQA
Guidelines
2019 The revised CEQA Guidelines also add a new impact category – “Energy” – to Appendix G, incorporating the changes to Section 15126.2(b).

Section 15126.2(b) was added to the Guidelines to capture the requirements in Appendix F (Energy Conservation). The section requires an analysis of a project’s energy use to determine if the project will result in significant effects due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary use of energy.

This analysis should include the project’s energy use for all project phases and components, including transportation-related energy, during construction and operation. This analysis is subject to the rule of reason and shall focus on energy use that is caused by the project—a full “lifecycle” analysis that would account for energy used in building materials and consumer products will generally not be required.

A new question was also added to the CEQA Checklist related to use of energy resources and potential conflicts with state or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency.

The General Plan EIR analyzes energy sources from new development under Section 5.2, Irreversible Environmental Changes, stating that new development under General Plan requires energy from existing sources, causing irreversible environmental change and increased nonrenewable resource usage.

The 2040 General Plan Update’s Safety Element includes energy policies for new development; however impacts regarding energy under the proposed project would be similar to those in the 2004 General Plan EIR. As a result, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR or result in a new significant impact.

Climate Change
Amendments
to the CEQA
Guidelines
2019 Section 15064.4 Determining the Significance of Impacts from Greenhouse Gas Emissions, has been amended in the following manner:

Subsection (a) has been revised to replace the word “should” with “shall” with regard to a lead agency’s duty to make a good faith effort to estimate or describe a project’s greenhouse gas emissions. The Natural Resources Agency (“Agency”) made this change to clarify that lead agencies must not just provide information regarding climate change but decide of whether a project’s GHG emissions are significant.

Subsection (b) has been revised to add four new sentences. - The first sentence clarifies that the focus of analysis must be on the project’s effect on climate change, not simply a quantification of emissions and/or comparison of how a project’s emissions compare to statewide or global emissions.

The Agency also clarified that only a project’s “reasonably Greenhouse gas emissions are considered in the 2004 General Plan EIR when analyzing burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation.

The 2004 General Plan EIR determined development under the existing General Plan requires energy from existing sources, causing irreversible environmental change and increased nonrenewable resource usage. The 2004 General Plan EIR also determined that the population growth under the existing General Plan would cause an increase in VMT, which in turn would increase criteria air pollutant emissions.

The analysis provided adequately addresses the potential physical impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project since the General Plan EIR estimates a higher population and units than the proposed project; therefore this analysis is conservative. (see Section 2.1, Environmental Analysis below) As a result, any impacts of the proposed General Plan update would be qualitatively less, and the project will not have a more significant effect than previously assessed in the General Plan EIR.
