AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Trevor Benson, Public Safety Manager
FOR: City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Extending the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to the 2022 September Storm Event
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council extend the declaration of a local emergency as a result of the 2022 September Storm Event.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On September 14, 2022, the Yucaipa City Manager proclaimed a local emergency due to the 2022 September Storm Event in Yucaipa and surrounding communities. The storm which was caused by remnants of Hurricane Kay produced conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City of Yucaipa, in the form of infrastructure damage, from extreme weather including intense rain, wind, flooding and debris flow.
On September 14, 2022, the County of San Bernardino declared a County -Wide, local emergency due to the storm.
At the September 20, 2022, Special City Council Meeting, Council adopted Resolution No. 2022- 54, ratifying the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency by the City Manager.
Post storm assessments were conducted in the burn areas and debris basins to identify on -site and downstream threats to public health or safety from landslides, debris flow, flooding, road hazards and other post -fire related concerns, as well as to determine measures to prevent or mitigate identified threats.
As a direct result of the September Storm Event, several areas within the City were impacted, requiring emergency work, such as El Dorado Park, Oak Glen Road and Pendleton Road. Staff is tracking costs for this required emergency response work necessary to address these areas. In addition to the emergency work performed to close, cleanup and reopen City facilities/roadways, additional emergency work was required to address approximately 18,000 cubic yards of mud, silt and debris that impacted areas within the Wilson III Basin/Channel area. In addition, the Oak Glen Creek Basin system sustained approximately 25,000 cubic yards of mud, silt, and debris, that, in conjunction with San Bernardino County Flood Control District was removed. 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
27 Subsequently, in August the City experienced another significant storm event, Tropical Storm Hilary creating rainfall totaling as much as 4.5 inches in parts of the community, once again testing the systems constructed over the past twenty years and maintained between and during these storm events.
Pursuant to Yucaipa Municipal Code Section 8.36.160, the City Council shall review, at least every fourteen (14) days, unless waived by the City Council to meet State requirements, until such local emergency is terminated, the need for continuing the local emergency.
The time between this council meeting (July 22, 2024) and the next scheduled meeting on August 12th is beyond the fourteen -day requirement under YMC 8.36.160. Therefore, staff is hereby requesting the City Council waive the fourteen (14) day requirement for review and extend this Local Emergency until City Council can review it at the next regular Council meeting on August 12, 2024.
Such declaration facilitates the City's response to combat perilous conditions by providing limited immunity for emergency actions of public employees and governing bodies, authorizing the issuance of orders and regulations to protect life and property, and activating pre -established local emergency provisions.
FISCAL IMPACT:

Trevor Benson, Public Safety Manager a
City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
Extending the Existence of a Local Emergency Due to Tropical Storm Hilary
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council extend the declaration of a local emergency as a result of Tropical Storm Hilary.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On Sunday, August 20, 2023, the Yucaipa City Manager Chris Mann proclaimed a local emergency due to Tropical Storm Hilary in Yucaipa and surrounding communities. The storm which was caused by remnants of Tropical Storm Hilary produced conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the City of Yucaipa, in the form of infrastructure damage, from extreme weather including intense rain, wind, flooding and debris flow.
On August 20, 2023, the County of San Bernardino also declared a County -Wide, local emergency due to the storm and on August 19, 2023, the State of California pre-emptively proclaimed a state of emergency in several counties including County of San Bernardino.
At the August 24, 2023, Special City Council meeting, Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-43, ratifying the proclamation of the existence of a local emergency by the City Manager.
Post storm assessments were conducted in the burn areas and debris basins to identify on -site and downstream threats to public health or safety from landslides, debris flow, flooding, road hazards and other post -fire related concerns, as well as to determine measures to prevent or mitigate identified threats.
As a direct result of the tropical storm, several areas within the City were impacted, requiring emergency work, for Oak Glen Road, Casa Blanca and Pendleton Road. Staff is tracking costs for the required emergency response work necessary to address these areas. In addition to the emergency work performed to close, cleanup and reopen City facilities/roadways, additional emergency work was required to address approximately 100,000 cubic yards of mud, silt and debris that impacted areas within the Wilson III Basin/Channel area. In addition, the Oak Glen 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
29 Creek Basin system sustained approximately 50,000 cubic yards of mud, silt, and debris, that, in conjunction with San Bernardino County Flood Control District was removed.
Pursuant to Yucaipa Municipal Code Section 8.36.160, the City Council shall review, at least every fourteen (14) days, unless waived by the City Council to meet State requirements, until such local emergency is terminated, the need for continuing the local emergency.

CITY OF YUCAIPA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fermin Preciado, Director of Development Services/City Engineer FOR: City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Final Tract Map No. 16268
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1) Approve Final Tract Map No. 16268; and
2) Accept an Offer of Dedication for Public Roads, City Highways and Public Utility Purposes on a Portion of Wildwood Canyon Road, Holmes Street and Wildwood Crest Drive as delineated on Final Tract Map No. 16268; and
3) Authorize the recordation of the map and accept securities from Pacific Horizon Builders, a California Corporation.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On August 18, 2004, Tentative Tract Map 16268 was conditionally approved by the Planning Commission to create a twenty-two (22 ) single family lot subdivision located on 15.72 acres at the southwest corner of Wildwood Canyon Road and Holmes Street; APN 1242-191-10. However, the 2008 economic recession had halted the progress to record the subdivision, and as such, the Final Map did not record. Since then, the developer made progress to complete the requirements to record the Final Map. On September 19, 2018, a revision to Tentative Tract Map 16268 was subsequently administratively approved and included revisions to comply with updated Subdivision Map Act and City Development Code requirements.
City Council approval is required to accept and authorize recordation of a Final Map. City Council Approval is also required to accept easements or offer of dedications for public road/highways and utility purposes. Staff has conducted a Condition Compliance Review and all conditions of approval applied to Final Tract Map No. 16268 have been met.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City's General Fund as a result of this proposed action.

Ryan C. Miller, Housing and Economic Development Analyst FOR: City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Summary Vacation of Right -of -Way Located at the Northeast Corner of California Street and County Line Road
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-52, vacating a portion of public right-of-way located at the Northeast corner of California Street and County Line Road; and
2. Approve the related actions included in the Resolution; and
3. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee to execute the necessary documents to complete the public right-of-way vacation process.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On December 12, 2019, the City Council approved the environmental review document for the County Line Road Corridor Project from Calimesa Boulevard to Bryant Street (Project). The owner of the property at the NE corner of California Street and County Line Road provided the City with a voluntary offer to sell the property to the City to facilitate the Project.
On February 10, 2020, the City Council authorized staff to negotiate with the property owner and return to City Council with a Purchase and Sale Agreement.
On March 9, 2020, the City Council approved a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire the property to complete the Project. The City Council also directed staff to return to Council with a recommendation regarding the disposition of the remainder property once the right-of-way needs for the Project were determined, which may include selling the property and returning the proceeds from the sale to the Project fund.
In March of 2021, the engineering and construction plans were completed for the Project and a legal description was prepared to identify the right-of-way required to construct the Project. With 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
42 the City listed as the new owner of the property and upon recordation of the dedication of the property, the County of San Bernardino Assessor's Office recorded the entire parcel as public right-of-way. As the entire property is not required for the Project, staff is recommending the City vacate the area identified in Resolution No. 2024-52 so that it can become a legally separate parcel and the disposition of the parcel can be processed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed City Council action. Staff will return to Council with a recommendation on the disposition of the property, which may include selling the property and returning the proceeds from the sale to the Project fund.

WHEREAS, based on the above recitals, the property is excess public road right-of-way that has been superseded by the relocation and may be vacated pursuant to Streets and Highway Code Section 8330; and
WHEREAS, the proposed vacation serves a public purpose by eliminating and clearing the public records of unnecessary public road right-of-way; and WHEREAS, nothing in this Resolution shall in any way affect or disturb any existing easements for public utility purposes belonging either to the City of Yucaipa or to any public utility.

Section 2.
The City Council hereby finds from all the evidence presented that the Property in the City of Yucaipa and depicted in Exhibits "A" and "B" is unnecessary for present or prospective road purposes, is not being used for the dedicated purpose it was intended for, has not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated for five years immediately preceding this vacation action, and is, therefore, hereby ordered vacated; and

The City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to take such actions as they deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution and all actions previously taken are hereby ratified; and

Resolution No. 2024-32 briefly described the streets earmarked in the Pavement Management Program and is required to account for the funding obligations related to the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 (SB1). After the Resolution was submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC), staff was informed that the resolution required more specific street information (names of streets and limits of work).
Proposed Resolution No. 2024-47 incorporates the required, specific street information. If approved, Resolution No. 2024-47 will rescind Resolution No. 2024-32, and if submitted by September 30, 2024, will ensure compliance with the SB 1 funding requirements.
Capital Projects Needs Analysis
On June 10, 2024, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-31, approving the Five -Year Capital Projects Needs Analysis (CPNA) for FY25 through FY30. The Measure I 2010-2040 Strategic Plan requires local agencies to annually adopt a five-year CPNA for the next five years to document project needs by fiscal year, including anticipated funding sources, funding amounts, and project phasing, where appropriate. The annual CPNA also includes the local agency's required development mitigation fair share funding contribution for the projects (minimum 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
49 30.90%) in the form of Traffic Facilities Fee (TFF) funds and/or other eligible local and grant funding sources. The San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) will use this information to complete their FY26-FY30 Measure I 2010-2040 apportionment and fund allocation process for each local agency receiving Measure I Arterial funding. This funding can only be used to fund projects on eligible arterial street that add lanes or increase the traffic capacity of streets.
After the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-31, staff was informed by SBCTA that the Yucaipa Boulevard project description could be updated to include street improvements and ADA access improvements for the segment of Yucaipa Boulevard between 3' Street and 4th Street (Project). Adoption of Resolution No. 2024-48 would rescind Resolution No. 2024-31, and approve the amended Five -Year CPNA for FY25 through FY30 that will be subject to SBCTA approval this August/September. If approved by SBCTA, staff will return to Council to propose an amendment to the City's Capital Improvement Program Budget that adds CPNA funding to the Proj ect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of this item will incorporate the amended SB1 and CPNA list of projects into the operating and capital expenditure plan for FY25.

CITY OF YUCAIPA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Fermin Preciado, Director of Development Services/City Engineer FOR: City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Tract Map No. 14429 - Grant of Easements for Landscape Maintenance Purposes RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1) Accept a Grant of Easement for landscape maintenance purposes on Lot 1 of Tract Map No. 14429, from McDougal Bros. CAL Inc.; and
2) Accept a Grant of Easement for landscape maintenance purposes on Lot 57 of Tract Map No. 14429, from Aaron and Joanna Oxendine; and
3) Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the necessary documents to complete the easement acceptance process.
BACKGROUND:
As a condition of approval for Tract Map No. 14429, the applicant is required to install landscaping and irrigation in common areas within and adjacent to this subdivision. The majority of the common areas were identified as public right-of-way in the approved and recorded final map for the subdivision. During the design and approval phase of the landscape and irrigation plans for the subdivision, staff identified other areas within private properties that should also be landscaped due to their visibility from the public right-of-way and for the aesthetic benefit of the neighborhood. These additional landscaped areas are included in the City's Landscape Lighting and Maintenance District (LLMD) Zone EE and will be maintained by the City. The maintenance of the common areas will be funded by revenue collected by the City as part of the annual LLMD assessment to the homeowners in this subdivision.
The proposed landscaped maintenance easements provide the City and the City's contractors to provide landscape maintenance services in these areas. City Council action is required for the City to accept grant of easements.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this Council action.

nonexclusive permanent and perpetual easement over the Easement Area for purposes of the placement, maintenance, irrigation, drainage, and replacement (as necessary) of landscaping and irrigation, as well as ingress, egress, and access related thereto, on the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement.
4. Permissible Use of Easement Area. Grantee shall use
the Easement Area solely for the purposes of the placement, mainte- nance, irrigation, drainage, and replacement (as necessary) of the landscaping and irrigation, as well as ingress, egress, and access related thereto, in accordance with this Agreement and all applica- ble laws, ordinances, and regulations.

comply fully at all times with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and permit requirements pertaining to the Easement Area, including, without limitation, any and all laws and ordinances pertaining to water conservation, the type and mainte- nance of landscaping that may be installed in the Easement Area, and the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. The owner of Lot 57 shall not, in any way, obstruct or otherwise interfere with Grantee's use of the Easement Area in accordance with this Agreement.
6. Maintenance of Easement. Grantee shall be responsi-
ble, at Grantee's sole cost and expense, for the maintenance of the Easement Area, including, without limitation, the landscaping, irrigation, and any drainage improvements in the Easement Area in accordance with the requirements of the City.

07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
83 damage to be repaired in a timely manner, at the sole cost and expense of the owner of Lot 57.

The liability insurance policy shall expressly state that it may not be terminated or substantially modified unless thirty (30) days' prior written notice is given to the owner of Lot 57.
8. Indemnity. To the maximum extent permissible under
the law, Grantee ("Indemnitor") shall indemnify and hold harmless the owner of Lot 57 and its agents and representatives (collec- tively, "Indemnitee") from any and all claims, damages, liens, losses, costs, expenses, and other liabilities founded upon, arising out of, or otherwise relating to any negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct of the Indemnitor related to the Easement Area. This indemnity does not extend to any claims, liens, losses, costs, expenses, damages or other liability arising from or relating to any grossly negligent or intentional acts or omissions by any Indemnitee. The indemnity provisions set forth in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited by the scope or amount of any insurance coverage maintained by the Indemnitor.
9. Performance of Work. While performing, or causing to be performed, any work in the Easement Area, or on any improvement thereon, the Party performing or causing to be performed such work shall ensure that reasonable safety precautions are used to prevent unnecessary risk of injury to persons or property during the performance of such work and that all persons performing such work are appropriately licensed and insured.

10. Liens/Notices. The Party causing work to be
performed in the Easement Area shall keep Lot 57 free from any liens arising by reason of such work (e.q., mechanic's liens, etc.).

Except in the event of an emergency (when entry shall not require any prior notice), the Grantee shall give the owner of Lot 57 at least five (5) days prior written notice of the actual date for the commencement of any work to be performed by Grantee in the Easement to allow the owner of Lot 57 the opportunity to post and record a notice of nonresponsibility as deemed necessary.

That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-51 authorizing the levy of special taxes within Community Facilities District No. 98-1 of the City of Yucaipa (Chapman Heights) for Fiscal Year 2024- 2025.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On August 10, 1998, the City Council of the City of Yucaipa adopted Resolution No. 98-33 establishing the formation of Community Facilities District No. 98-1 (Chapman Heights), hereinafter referred to as the District. The District was established for the purpose of financing the construction, acquisition, expansion, and improvement of public infrastructure within the boundaries of the District. In addition, on August 10, 1998, in a Special Election, the qualified voters of the District authorized the District to incur bonded indebtedness in an amount not to exceed $30 million. The District has issued three series of Special Tax Bonds totaling $30 million. The annual debt service on the bonds is payable from special taxes levied and collected annually on all relevant properties within the District.
On September 14, 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 187, authorizing the levy of the Special Tax within the District. The Special Tax is to be levied in an amount sufficient to pay principal, interest and administrative expenses with respect to all bonds issued by the District, including the Series 1998 Special Tax Bonds, the Series 2002 Special Tax Bonds and the Series 2003 Special Tax Bonds, to pay certain costs of the facilities authorized to be financed by the levy of special taxes of the District, pursuant to the Resolution of Formation, and to pay all incidental expenses.
On November 14, 2011, the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the District, adopted Resolution No. 2011-68, authorizing the issuance of its 2011 Special Tax Refunding Bonds in a principal amount of $26,125,000. The purpose of the refunding bonds was to take advantage of the favorable interest rates in order to generate significant debt service savings, resulting in net present value savings equal to approximately $1,599,069. The City Council determined that the almost $1.6 million in savings would be passed on to the current property owners by applying that savings over the next three years as a credit against the annual assessment. The annual savings was valued at approximately 27% per property owner.

On September 25, 2023, the City Council, acting as the legislative body of the District, adopted Resolution No. 2023-48, authorizing the issuance of its 2023A Special Tax Refunding Bonds in a principal amount of $9,935,000. The purpose of the refunding bonds was to take advantage of the favorable interest rates in order to generate significant debt service savings that will reduce the annual assessment for the property owners in the District.
It is now necessary and appropriate for the City Council to levy and collect the special taxes for Fiscal Year 2024/2025 (FY25) for the purposes specified above. FY25 represents the 26th year in which assessments will be levied on behalf of the District to pay the costs associated with satisfying annual debt service and the 12th year following the issuance of the 2011 Special Tax Refunding Bonds. The Bonds will be paid in full with the Special Tax levied in 2030.
Attached is a spreadsheet determining the rates for the proposed levy, as prepared by Willdan Financial Services, the City's Special Tax Administrators. As the Special Tax Administrators, Willdan has calculated the special taxes in a manner consistent with the Rate and Method of Apportionment approved by the City Council in 1998. It is important to note that the Rate and Method considers property in its condition as of January 1 of the apportionment year. Therefore, if a building permit had not yet been issued for a parcel by January 1, 2024, that parcel will be taxed as undeveloped during F25.
Approximately 1.53 acres remain taxable, but undeveloped, as of January 1, 2024. Willdan determines ownership of property based upon the most current information available as provided by the County of San Bernardino.
Historically, properties have been assessed annually at a rate equal to approximately 91 % of the maximum tax rate allowable. 91 % represents the target percentage rate outlined in the original Rate and Method of Apportionment. However, for FY13, FY14 and FY15, the annual assessment rate was reduced to reflect the savings resulting from the bond refunding in 2011. For those three years, the special tax rates were assessed at a rate equal to approximately 68% to 69% of the maximum tax allowable, in order to satisfy the annual debt service requirements. In FY16, the amount of special tax rate assessed reverted back to approximately 91% of the maximum tax allowed; however, since then the special tax rate assessed has been approximately 83.8% to 88.3%.
The proposed assessments for FY25 have been calculated at a rate equal to approximately 68.62% of the maximum tax allowable. This reflects a decrease of 14.03% the previous year due to savings from the issuance of the 2023A Bonds. The administrative costs include estimates for agency administration, the cost allocation plan expense, auditor fees, County Assessor and Registrar fees, legal costs, and consulting fees. The total amount budgeted for administrative costs for FY25 is equal to $108,496.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The District funds the debt service and administrative costs up to the maximum allowed. The City acts in a fiduciary capacity in the financial administration of the District and receives payment for the administrative costs up to the maximum. In FY25, the total amount of debt service and administrative costs to be paid by the District is $1,785,030. Administrative costs in excess of the maximum will be funded by a General Fund contribution of $26,466.

The collection of the taxes will be accomplished in the same manner as that used to collect ad- valorem property taxes. All funds necessary to satisfy debt service payments and administrative expenses are the responsibility of the District.

CITY OF YUCAIPA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Phillip White, Director of Finance
FOR: City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
SUBJECT: Special Tax for Yucaipa Paramedic Program
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-50, fixing the Special Tax for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (FY25) for the Yucaipa Paramedic Program at the following rates:
Residential Dwelling Unit $52
Small Commercial Unit $78
Large Commercial Unit (> 10,000 sq. ft.) $156
Residential Care Facility $78 plus $3 per bed over 26
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In Fiscal Year 1999-2000, the City assumed responsibility for the provision of fire protection and paramedic services. Up until that time, those services were provided to the community through a Special District of San Bernardino County, known as County Service Area No. 38 (CSA38). As a result of that assumption of responsibility, the City's fire protection services are funded entirely by revenues generated from property taxes that were shifted to the City from CSA 38.
The Paramedic Program (Program) was always intended to be funded entirely through a Paramedic Special Tax (PST) approved by the voters initially in 1987. The original PST equated to an annual amount equal to $24 per individual dwelling unit and $35 per individual commercial unit. Because of the escalation of costs, and the premise that the Program is to be funded entirely by the PST, the voters approved (Measure Y), an increase to the maximum annual PST in 2004 to the current amount of $52 per residential dwelling unit, $78 per small commercial unit, $156 per large commercial unit (> 10,000 sq. ft.) and $78 plus $3 per bed over 26 for residential care facility. The 2004 PST was approved by the voters with no escalation clause. As a result, the PST per unit has not increased in 20 years. Therefore, the total annual revenue is increased only by the number of new units assessed. In 2004, the voters understood that the assessment amount would be sufficient to cover the estimated and escalating costs of the Program for approximately 10 years, or through 2014. FY16 represented the first year in which revenues were not sufficient to cover the annual expenses for the Program. The paramedic services accumulated fund balance had been covering the 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
115
annual deficit in the Program since FY16 until funds were depleted in FY20. The Program budget shortfall is now being covered by the Fire Fund:

The annual projected deficit will continue to grow, as expenses exceed the revenues generated by the PST.
To address the deficit, the City Council voted to place Measure E on the ballot to levy a general Transactions and Use Tax. Funds generated from Measure E would have been used to: address the Program deficit, decrease response times on emergency 911 calls, generate funds from Yucaipa visitors to benefit local residents; enhance police and fire protection; increase local youth and senior services; and fund other general services provided throughout the City, like streets and parks maintenance. On March 3, 2020, voters did not approve Measure E and the deficit trend has continued.

$2,468,298
$1,378,298
$1,378,298
To continue collecting the PST, the City Council is required to annually adopt a resolution to levy the PST up to the maximum amount authorized for the needs of the paramedic program as set forth in Measure Y.
Staff recommends that Council set the FY25 Special Tax rates at the maximum amounts allowable, consistent with the provisions of Measure Y. The Special Tax rates are as follows:
Residential
Small Commercial
Large Commercial (Greater than 10,000 sq. f)
Residential Care Facilities
$52 per year
$78 per year
$156 per year
$78 plus $3/per bed over 26 beds
As detailed throughout this report, the revenues collected from the PST are no longer sufficient to cover the annual expenses of the Program and the Fire Fund is covering the Program budget shortfall. The City sends a fire engine truck to all emergency medical calls, which make up a majority of total calls, according to city data. The vehicles, manned by fire and ALS paramedic personnel, often arrive before the ambulance, and provide immediate emergency medical treatment. Yet the cost to deploy these employees and render the service has no recovery mechanism other than the current PST.

FISCAL IMPACT:
With an approval of the recommendation, it is estimated that approximately $1,090,000 will be collected through special assessments for FY25. The remaining Program deficit will be funded by the Fire Fund through a transfer to the Public Safety Fund.

CITY OF YUCAIPA
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Grant Malinowski, Fire Chief
FOR: City Council Meeting July 22, 2024
SUBJECT: City of Yucaipa & City of Calimesa Automatic Aid Agreement RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the revised Automatic Aid/Mutual Aid Agreement between the City of Yucaipa and the City of Calimesa.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Cities of Calimesa and Yucaipa currently share an executed Automatic Aid Agreement limited to resources from both cities responding to structural and vegetation fire responses. The terms of the proposed agreement, going forward are to include automatic aid responses for emergency medical and rescue incidents.
The Cities of Calimesa and Yucaipa have many commonalities as it relates to the border shared along the Countyline corridor. Both cities have experienced significant growth and are challenged to provide increased infrastructure, programs and services to include emergency Fire Rescue and Emergency pre -hospital care services. These challenges are not unlike the numerous other metropolitan cities in Southern California to include those in Riverside and San Bernardino County. The challenges to provide timely responses using the recognized standard of automatic aid drastically reduces reflex times to ensure the closest available resource to those in need. As the population and building density of our local communities continues to expand, resources must be channeled to be distributed, concentrated, and remain reliable in a fiscally responsible manner, which multiplies critical assets, and avoids developing competing counterproductive interest. Both fire chiefs shall annually analyze and adjust response patterns contained in the Annual Operating Plan (Auto Aid Agreement - Exhibit A) within the to ensure relevant and reliable service needs are met by both communities
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no current fiscal impact.

EMERGENCY INCIDENT REPSONSE
1. Each of the parties hereto will respond the appropriate apparatus and equipment dependent on availability of resources and as dispatched by their dispatch center.
2. The services to be rendered pursuant to this Agreement shall consist of providing first alarm fire response, Rescue or EMS. Each Agency agrees to also provide, when and where possible, all its own additional apparatus and equipment necessary in the event of a Second or Third Alarm involvement within its own geographical boundaries or to request mutual aid from the operating area.
3. Both Agencies may provide to each other, upon request, any special equipment needed to meet unusual emergency needs, provided such special equipment is available.

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Fermin Preciado, Director of Depment Services / City Engineer Phil White, Director of Finance
City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
Ordering Confirmation of Annual Assessments for the City of Yucaipa Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council:
1. Conduct a Public Hearing and subsequently adopt Resolution 2024-49, Ordering Confirmation of Assessment for City of Yucaipa Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1; and
2. Approve the application of 4.3% rate adjustments to LLMD Zones A and F through R and 5% rate adjustments to LLMD Zones B and S through DDD; and
3. Approve the credit of funds as an offset against the 2024-2025 assessments for Zones A95, B95, F97, J98, K98, M98, P99, TO1, VO1, W01, X01, Y, BB, HH, II, NN, 00, PP, RR, WW, YY, ZZ, BBB, CCC, and DDD in the total amount of $188,775.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
To guarantee funds for the ongoing maintenance and servicing of specified improvements within the public right-of-way and dedicated easements in new developments in the City of Yucaipa, the City Council formed the City of Yucaipa Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1 (District). The improvements that may be maintained by the District utilizing the direct benefit assessments include:
> Landscaping within public rights -of -way, parkways and designated easements; ➢ Public lighting facilities to provide street lighting in public rights -of -way and easements; ➢ Drainage Facilities;
➢ Other infrastructure in public rights -of -way and designated easements that provide special benefits for homeowners within the District.
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
132
Since the formation of the District, all tracts and parcel maps that create drainage facilities, streetlights, landscaped maintenance areas, and/or other infrastructure have been required to annex to this District as separate zones.
There are currently 58 zones located within the District. Of the 58 zones, 55 are active or currently under development, three are inactive or have not completed the annexation process. For more specific information regarding the District and its active zones, please refer to the Annual Engineer's Report for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (Attachment 2). On June 24, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-33, providing notice of intention to set a time and place for a Public Hearing to be conducted on July 22, 2024, at 6:00 p.m., regarding the levy of the annual assessments for the LLMD. A public notice was published in the Yucaipa News -Mirror on Friday, June 14, 2024 (Attachment 3).
District assessments are renewed annually. During the renewal process, City Council reviews the proposed costs for each zone, and the reserves available for the ensuing fiscal year, and will consider those accumulated reserves in setting the actual annual assessment. The maximum assessment amount has been determined for each zone based upon the adoption of the original Engineer's Report for each zone. The maximum annual assessment may be reduced by the amount applied from surplus reserves by way of a credit, as determined by the City Council, subject to the LLMD Funding Policy.
Calculation of Annual Increases
For zones annexed prior to the passage of Proposition No. 218, no Consumer Price Index (CPI) factor may be applied. This includes Zones C96, D96 and E96. For zones to be assessed for the first time, no CPI factor will be applied to the amounts included in the original Engineer's Report.
For Zone B95 and Zones SOO through FFF, the original Engineer's Report allowed the annual assessments to be increased by the amount of the change in the CPI or 5%, whichever is greater.
Remaining consistent with the LLMD Funding Policy, which states the annual assessment shall always be calculated at the maximum amount allowed pursuant to the original Engineer's Report for each zone, and with the exclusion of zones being assessed for the first time, the amount of 5% has been applied to these zones.
For other zones, the maximum assessment amount may be increased annually by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the Riverside -San Bernardino -Ontario CBSA. The 12 month change in the CPI as of March 2024 was 4.3% (Attachment 4).
All active zones are scheduled for assessment during Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (FY25). Attachment 5 is a table indicating the types of services rendered and the maximum amount that may be assessed for each zone.
Several zones have developed a fund balance due to: 1) the original developer electing to continue maintaining the landscaping maintenance areas for "marketing purposes," or 2) the developer electing not to complete the installation of landscaping, lighting, drainage and/or other 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
133
infrastructure facilities after the zone had been annexed by the District, or 3) the collection of initial assessments preceded the full allocation of costs.
Because of the surplus fund position in some of the zones, a LLMD Administrative Funding Policy was established in July of 2008 to outline procedures by which surplus funds, if any, are to be calculated and credited to property owners. Due to the limitations imposed as a result of Proposition 218 pursuant to the Funding Policy, surplus funds will be credited against the annual assessment in lieu of a refund.
There are many considerations to make when determining the appropriate amount of credit to be applied to the annual assessments. These considerations include, but may not be limited to: 1) an evaluation of the ongoing fiscal sustainability of a particular zone, 2) the appropriate level of funds as a reservation for capital replacement, 3) the desire to maintain rate stabilization and minimize significant rate fluctuations upon the elimination of surplus funds, and 4) the restrictions applied to financing districts pursuant to Proposition 218. The Administrative Funding Policy outlines the criteria to be applied when evaluating surplus accounts. Pursuant to the Administrative Funding Policy, credits have been calculated based upon the following criteria:
1. Estimated annual beginning fund balance shall be greater than two times the annual maximum assessment, with a minimum reserve threshold of $1,000.
2. The amount of surplus funds credited in any given year shall not exceed 25% of the annual maximum assessment, in order to promote rate stabilization.
3. Surplus funds will be credited to the property owners only if the estimated annual revenues are expected to exceed the annual estimated expenses in the ensuing fiscal year, regardless of the balance of reserves accumulated.
General Discussion
The attached zone chart (Attachment 5) identifies the maximum assessment amount by zone and the recommended credit amounts, as appropriate.
For all of the zones, costs are being reviewed to ensure that revenues remain sufficient to cover expenses and to ensure sustainability. Staff reviews utility charges to ensure that charges are being appropriately allocated to the proper zones. This review will continue, as necessary, in an ongoing effort to ensure charges remain appropriate.
In addition to the items mentioned above, staff continues to work on solutions to reduce costs, where appropriate, by:
1. Evaluating the water management system to manage water usage with greater efficiency and better monitoring of the irrigation system to isolate leaks immediately. 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
134
2. Connecting to non -potable water where available in order to conserve water and save money.
3. Converting to more water efficient irrigation systems.
4. Recommending the replacement of certain plant material to address drought conditions, as appropriate.
Council can modify the assessment prior to certifying it to the County of San Bernardino for addition to the FY25 property tax roll as a special assessment. The estimated costs for maintenance of landscaping and drainage facilities, as well as street light energy charges for FY25, per zone, are shown in Section 2 in the Annual Engineer's Report, attached. Also attached is the actual assessment roll by zone, with credits for the return of surplus funds applied, as appropriate (Attachment 5).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The application of assessments provides a financial mechanism to maintain landscaping and lighting for properties located within the District. All of the assessments collected are deposited into a Special Revenue Fund designated specifically for recovering the costs of eligible expenses incurred for each zone. The total amount to be collected for FY25, net of credits, is estimated to be $1,064,839.
There are no further fiscal impacts as a result of this item.

INTRODUCTION

■ Landscaping within public rights -of -way, parkways and designated easements; • Public lighting facilities to provide street lighting and traffic signals in public right-of-way and easements;
■ Maintenance of certain drainage and storm water treatment facilities.
Since the formation of Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1, all tracts and parcel maps which create new street intersections have been required to annex to this district as separate zones.
The method of assessment approved at the time of formation of the District may be amended from time to time if deemed appropriate.
The construction, maintenance and operation of facilities within the District's Boundaries will be consistent with the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, and will be administered pursuant to the City of Yucaipa ordinances and regulations.
Payment for the assessment for each parcel will be made in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes for each property.
The proceedings will be conducted under Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15, Sections 22500 through 22679, of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California.
Annually thereafter, the City Council will review the current and projected year's cost for the servicing, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the District facilities and set the assessment for the ensuing fiscal year, which runs between July 1 and June 30, annually. In setting the annual assessment, City Council, in accordance with Proposition 218 requirements and Engineer's Reports for previously annexed zones into the City's LLMD, may increase the annual assessment by the annual change in the CPI for the Riverside -San Bernardino -Ontario Area. The change in the CPI as of March 2024 is 4.3%. As a result, a 4.3% factor will be applied to Zone A95 and Zones F97 through R99. Zones C96 through E96 do not have escalator clauses and, therefore, are not subject to an annual adjustment. Zone B95 and Zones SOO through FFF are subject to an increase equal to the amount of the change in CPI (4.3%) or 5%, whichever is greater. As a result, a 5% adjustment has been applied to Zones B95 and SOO through FFF. Funds from these assessments must be placed in a special fund and cannot be used for any other purposes. 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

SECTION 2
ESTIMATE OF COST
MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1
CITY OF YUCAIPA
The 1972 Act provides that the total cost of maintenance and servicing of the public landscaping, park facilities and street lighting can be recovered by the District. Incidental expenses including administration of the District, engineering fees, legal fees and all other costs associated with the formation and maintenance of the District can also be included.
Improvements, and the maintenance of all improvements, which are to be included in the District and have not yet been completed and are being constructed by the developer of the property, will be the responsibility of the developer until accepted by the City of Yucaipa. Furthermore, all improvements will be covered by a one (1) year warranty by the developer as part of the subdivision agreement.
Estimates of yearly maintenance costs for FY 2024-2025 are shown on Table 1.
The 1972 Act requires that a special fund be set up for the revenues and expenditures of the District. Funds raised by assessment shall be used only for the purpose as stated herein. A contribution to the District by the City may be made to reduce assessments, as the City Council deems appropriate. Any balance remaining on July 1 must be carried over to the next fiscal year.
In setting the annual assessment, City Council, in accordance with Proposition 218 requirements and Engineer's Reports for previously annexed zones into the City's LLMD, may increase the annual assessment by the change in the annual CPI for the Riverside -San Bernardino -Ontario Area.
The change in the CPI as of March 2024 is 4.3%. As a result, a 4.3% factor will be applied to Zone A95 and Zones F97 through R99. Zones C96 through E96 do not have escalator clauses and, therefore, are not subject to an annual adjustment. Zone B95 and Zones SOO through FFF are subject to an increase equal to the amount of the change in CPI (4.3%) or 5%, whichever is greater.
As a result, a 5% adjustment has been applied to Zones B95 and SOO through FFF. Funds from these assessments must be placed in a special fund and cannot be used for any other purposes. 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

SECTION 3
ASSESSMENT ROLL
MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1
CITY OF YUCAIPA
The proposed assessment and the amount of assessment for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 apportioned to each lot or parcel, as shown on the latest roll at the Assessor's office, are contained on the Assessment Roll prepared by the City of Yucaipa and on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Yucaipa.
The description of each lot or parcel is part of the records of the Assessor of the County of San Bernardino and these records are, by reference, made part of this Report.
A. General
Part 2 Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include maintenance and operation of street lights, traffic signals, landscaping and drainage facilities.
The 1972 Act requires that maintenance assessment be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. Section 22573 provides that:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefit to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements." The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reasons or variations in areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvement" (Sec. 22547). Thus, the 1972 Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
Exempted from the assessment would be the areas of all public street, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, all easements and rights -of -way, all public parks, churches, cemeteries, greenbelts and parkways and all public school property, other public property, designated open space, and public utilities, unless determined to benefit pursuant to Proposition 218.
Also, Section 22509 provides that the act shall be liberally construed to effectuate its purpose. Therefore, any reasonable public hearing is conclusive. 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

B. Parcel Classification
Since the assessment will be levied on the owners of properties as shown on the tax rolls, the final charges must be assigned by Assessor's Parcel Number. If assessments were to be spread just by parcel, not considering land use or parcel size, this would not be equitable, because a single family parcel would be paying the same as a 50 unit apartment parcel or a large commercial establishment in a similar zone.
Therefore, the single-family parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of assessments and is defined as one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). A methodology has been developed to calculate the EDU's for other residential land uses and for commercial/industrial parcels as described below.
Single Family Residential. The single family parcel has been selected as the basic unit for calculation of the benefit assessments. The basic unit shall be called an Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). Parcels zoned for single family residential uses are assessed 1 EDU.
Multiple Residential. The EDU's for land zoned for multi -family uses are reduced by multiplying the dwelling units per parcel by a density factor of 0.8, this determination was made in accordance with statistical proportion of relative trip generation from various type of residential uses, in combination with potential population density per unit. Based on data from representative cities in Southern California, the multiple residential factor is deemed to be 80%; e.g., a parcel with a 100 unit apartment would be assessed at 80 EDU's.
Commercial and Industrial. Parcels zoned for commercial and industrial uses are assessed
4.356 EDU's/acre or any portion thereof with a minimum of 1 EDU. This allocation has been developed by dividing the standard residential lot size of 10,000 sq. ft. into 43,560 sq. ft. (1 acre).
Mobile Home. Parcels defined as residential but having no dwelling unit on them are assessed 2.178 EDU's/parcel. A parcel with 100 mobile home spaces would be assessed 50 EDU's.
Vacant Residential. Parcels defined as residential but having no dwelling units on them are assessed 2.178 EDU's/acre or any portion thereof with a minimum of 0.5 EDU. This allocation has been developed by dividing the standard residential lot size of 10,000 sq. ft. into 43,560 sq. ft. (1 acre) and dividing that by two (2). This is half the rate of a commercial/industrial parcel.
Vacant Commercial/Industrial. Parcels defined as commercial/industrial but having no commercial/industrial structures on that parcel are assessed half the allocated commercial rate with a minimum of 0.5 EDU.
Agricultural Land. Parcels of Land listed on the County Assessor's record in the Agricultural classification will be assessed at 0.2 EDU/acre or any portion thereof.
Exempt. Parcels of land defined in the County Assessor's records as being exempt will be exempt for the assessment. These parcels include but are not limited to areas of all public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda 148
alleys, all easements and rights -of -way, all public parks, greenbelts and parkways, common areas, and other public property unless determined to benefit pursuant to Proposition 218.

AGENDA REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Fermin Preciado, Director of Development Services/City Engineer " Benjamin J. Matlock, Deputy Director of Community Development/City Planner✓--- City Council Meeting of July 22, 2024
Case No. 24-046/GPA: City of Yucaipa General Plan Safety Element Update RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council conduct a public hearing and consider the Planning Commission's recommendation to:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024-09, adopting the Safety Element Update to the General Plan; and
2. Determine that the update to the Safety Element is within the scope of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared pursuant to the provisions of Section 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 and the CEQA Guidelines, as amended, for the City's General Plan; and
3. Adopt the Findings as contained in the Agenda Report; and
4. Direct staff to file a Notice of Determination.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
A General Plan is a key planning document that shapes the future of the community by providing the direction for growth and changes that will occur, and includes goals, policies and implementation actions that address important community needs ranging from land use and mobility, housing, to public safety. General Plans are required by state law, and in accordance with California Government Code Section 65103(a), each city in California "must periodically review and revise, as necessary, their General Plan." Although it is not embodied in state law, most General Plans, including Yucaipa's, are designed to remain in place for twenty years, with periodical updates made during that period. The City's current General Plan was adopted by the City Council on April 11, 2016, and the Housing Element was last updated in September 2021 to correspond to the 6th Housing Cycle.
The Safety Element is one of the seven mandatory elements of the General Plan. Senate Bill (SB) 1035 (2018) now requires that the City update the Safety Element upon revision of the Housing Element, to ensure that the Safety Element meets the requirements of California Government Code Section 65302(g) and the recent updates from SB 1241, SB 379, and SB 99:
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
162
• SB 1241 (2014): Requires the City to address wildfire hazard issues due to the presence of Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ).
• SB 379 (2017): Requires the City to address climate adaptation and resiliency through the preparation of a vulnerability assessment or reliance on a Local Hazard Mitigation Plan that addresses climate adaptation risks and vulnerabilities. • SB 99 (2020): Requires the Safety Element to identify residential developments in any hazard area that does not have at least two emergency evacuation routes.
The State mandated Public Safety Element identifies and, whenever possible, reduces the impact of natural and man-made hazards that may threaten the health, safety and property of Yucaipa residents, business owners and visitors. The hazards addressed in this element include: Seismic and geologic hazards, Hazards due to storm -induced flooding, Fire hazards, Severe weather, Air quality and climate change, and Emergency preparedness.
To comply with the recent state laws, the sections that relate to fire hazards and overall emergency preparedness were updated. Key changes include references to the City's recently updated Local Hazard Mitigation Plan; additional specificity towards managing areas within Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones; efforts to assess and address neighborhoods that do not have sufficient evacuation routes; formalizing a policy related to forming Community Facilities District for new development that will support ongoing public safety services; and implementing a periodic evaluation of Fire Department resources to ensure that staff and equipment is effectively used. As a requirement, these proposed changes were reviewed by the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection at their meeting of April 9, 2024, and no changes were required following their review.
Planning Commission Hearing:
The Safety Element Update was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their regular hearing of June 5, 2024, and was unanimously recommended for approval.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The proposed Safety Element does not directly result in the development of any parcel of land. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was certified by the City Council on April 11, 2016, for the City's comprehensive General Plan update. No changes to the environment have occurred since the preparation of the original 2016 EIR that would require preparation of a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. The adoption and actions proposed with the Safety Element update would not result in impacts that were not originally analyzed in the 2016 General Plan EIR.

INTRODUCTION
Protecting the public's health, safety, and welfare is a fundamental goal of any municipality, and this goal is a central part of Yucaipa's mission. Yucaipa is committed to protecting its residents from natural and human -caused hazards due to geology, flooding, wildfires, severe weather, air pollution, and climate change. This Public Safety Element is designed to address the community's safety, health, and welfare as they relate to these hazards.
Yucaipans cherish the hills, landforms, and creeks in their community.
When coupled with a built environment of homes, buildings, and infrastructure systems, however, these features are also the source of hazards. Earthquake faults that flank the hills can trigger landslides.
The streams and rivers that created the "benches" and canyons over time can overflow channels and lead to flooding. The grasslands covering the hills present a risk of wildland fires. Even severe weather can present safety hazards.
In light of these concerns, this Public Safety Element is intended to: 1) recognize the local hazards associated with Yucaipa's natural environment (geology, landforms, waterways, and weather), and 2) identify methods to manage these risks and protect people, property, infrastructure, and structures from harm. As the policies and actions are implemented over the next 20 years, the City of Yucaipa will be increasingly less impacted by disasters, and in the process, become more self-reliant, sustainable, and prosperous.

our residents
Purpose and Scope
The Public Safety Element is a state -mandated general plan element that is intended to identify and protect the community from risks due to natural and human -caused hazards. The element addresses the following hazards with associated goals and policies:
+ Natural Hazards. Natural hazards include a range of seismic and geologic hazards, flooding hazards, wildland and urban fire hazards, and severe weather, most of which are caused by inclement weather or natural events.
+ Human -Caused Hazards. These include air pollution, climate change, and noise hazards that are caused by human activities.
Other transportation -related and public safety hazards are addressed in other elements of the general plan.
+ Emergency Preparedness. Emergency preparedness refers to the range of procedures, methods, and protocols the City of Yucaipa uses to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond to them, and recover from them.
Related Plans
Yucaipa's Public Safety Element is implemented by various plans for protecting the community. Some of these plans are provided by the City of Yucaipa; others are provided by other organizations. + Drainage and Flooding. The City's Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) provides an assessment of drainage and infrastructure needs and a plan for the maintenance and construction of detention basins to protect from flooding hazards.
+ Fire Service Planning. The Yucaipa Fire Department, through a contract with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), prepares a fire services plan to provide fire protection and emergency medical services to the city.
+ Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Yucaipa's LHMP identifies hazards and establishes a plan to prepare for emergencies and disasters and mitigate potential impacts, developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and FEMA's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP identifies and profiles hazards, analyzes the people and facilities at risk, and provides mitigation actions to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. These mitigation actions include short and long-term strategies, with planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities.
The link to the plan is https://yucaipa.gov/disaster-preparedness/ + Emergency Operations Plan. The City's Emergency Operations Plan provides a comprehensive organizational and procedural guide for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural disasters or human -caused emergencies.
The next sections provide context for each topic, followed by goals, policies, and programs to achieve the General Plan vision. 07/212914 City uouncll AgendaLAN

GEOLOGIC AND SEISMIC SAFETY
The City's location in the Yucaipa Plain, and the Crafton and Yucaipa Hills, coupled with the many streams that flow through the community, has contributed to its naturally undulating terrain. The natural forces (flooding, earthquakes, winds, etc.) responsible for Yucaipa's unique terrain also have the potential to damage structures, roads, and utility systems as well as threaten people.
Geologic Hazards
The City rests primarily on alluvium deposited by the Yucaipa Creek and its tributaries. Older deposits consisting of alluvial fan conglomerate and other decomposed, clay -rich alluvia cover Central Yucaipa and Dunlap Acres. Younger alluvial deposits cover the river wash areas and Dunlap Acres west of Oak Glen Road. Parts of west Yucaipa are on Reservoir Canyon Hill, which is composed of crystalline rocks and older alluvium. Crafton Hills and Yucaipa Hills are composed of crystalline and metamorphic rock.
Yucaipa's geologic setting can, under certain circumstances, present hazardous conditions. These hazards are most frequently triggered by seismic or flood events.
+ Unstable Soils. Yucaipa's clay soils and young, relatively low - compacted soils can shrink or swell depending on moisture content. This occurs particularly during flood or earthquake.
Structures on these soils may experience shifting, cracking, and breaking damage as soils shrink, subside, or expand. Unstable soils are primarily adjacent to the drainage courses.
+ Slope Instability. Slope failures occur most often along steep canyons, hillsides, and channels and can be triggered by flooding and earthquakes. Although Yucaipa has a low to moderate potential, landslides have occurred in Crafton Hills and in northern Yucaipa. These areas are also subject to a higher risk of mud/debris flow due to the topography.
+ Ground Subsidence. Ground subsidence involves the settling of ground surface due to extraction of oil, gas, or groundwater.
Although Yucaipa does not have extraction fields, the Yucaipa Basin is in overdraft and thus has a low to moderate potential for ground subsidence throughout the community. Isolated cases of ground subsidence have occurred in the past.
+ Soil Corrosiveness. Many studies in Yucaipa have documented the presence of corrosive soils, which are those with a low pH.
Corrosive soils can be responsible for premature eroding of buried metal pipes and concrete foundations. In terms of location, Yucaipa's soils can be corrosive on its adjacent hillsides, in Central Yucaipa, and portions of Dunlap Acres.
Excessive rainfall after a fire can lead to
slope instability and mud/debris flows.

Seismic Hazards
Yucaipa is in a seismically active region. The San Andreas Fault and San Jacinto Fault Zone accommodate up to 80% of the slip rate between the North American and Pacific plates. The San Bernardino segment of the San Andreas transects the northern portion of the community along the base of Yucaipa Ridge. The San Andreas is the dominant fault in southern California and is capable of producing an 8.0 magnitude (M) earthquake, which is also capable of threatening property and lives.
Yucaipa has surface traces of active faults capable of producing damaging earthquakes. The Chicken Hill Fault runs through west Yucaipa and parallels Oak Glen Road south of Yucaipa Boulevard. The Crafton Hills Fault runs along the southeast front of the Crafton Hills of Yucaipa. Northern Yucaipa is also transected by a series of fault lines, designated Alquist-Priolo Zones (AP zones). Among others, recent earthquakes include:
+ 2008 Chino Hills earthquake (M5.5)
+ 2005 Yucaipa earthquake (M4.9)
+ 2003 Big Bear earthquake (M5.4)
+ 2003 Yucaipa earthquake (M5.2)
+ 2001 Yucaipa earthquake (M5.1)
+ 1998 Crafton Hills earthquake (M4.5)
+ 1994 Highland earthquake (M5.0)
Seismic hazards depend on the fault, soil types, and water table.
Geologic hazards in Yucaipa include:
+ Ground Shaking. Yucaipa is subject to severe ground shaking due to fault ruptures along many of its active faults. The most intense shaking that could damage structures is expected from the San Andreas Fault, which passes along northern Yucaipa. Additional shaking could also occur adjacent to or near the many active faults and trace faults crossing the community.
+ Liquefaction. Yucaipa is generally susceptible to liquefaction, which is the loss of the strength or cohesion of soil. This can occur on young, loose, unconsolidated sediments. Whereas much of the City has liquefaction concerns, the only area at high risk of liquefaction is near Mill Creek Canyon, where groundwater levels are within 50 feet of the surface.
+ Seismically Induced Settlement. Much of Yucaipa is underlain by young, unconsolidated alluvial deposits and artificial fill that may be susceptible to seismically induced settlement. Sparse information is available on historical occurrences. This hazardous condition is most likely to occur in the Dunlap Acres planning area, portions of the North Bench, and along creeks.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
Protecting Our Community
Protecting Yucaipa from the threat of geologic hazards is achieved through the identification of hazards, mitigation of structures at risk, enforcement of building codes and development standards, and public education and emergency preparedness.
Hazard Identification
The City of Yucaipa has established a Geologic Hazard Overlay District in the Municipal Code for designated areas within the community where active faults, liquefaction, subsidence, and mudflows may present a threat to structures, property, and people. Figure S-1, Geologic Hazard Overlay District, designates the general location of potential geologic and seismic hazards in Yucaipa.
Geotechnical Study
For building and structures proposed within the Geologic Hazards Overlay District or other areas required by the City Building Official, a geotechnical hazard study is required as part of the application. The geotechnical study must document the potential for geologic and seismic hazards in accordance with local regulations and state law.
Seismic hazard mitigation measures identified by the geotechnical study, overlay district, or City Building Official must be incorporated into the project design prior to approval.
Structures at Risk
Advances in engineering techniques and building codes have reduced the threat of seismic -related collapse in new buildings. However, buildings built before modern seismic standards are at risk — unreinforced masonry, precast concrete tilt -up walls, soft -stories, and nonductile concrete frames. Of particular concern are Yucaipa's 42 mobile home parks. Critical infrastructure (gas, water, electric lines, and aboveground water storage reservoirs) can also be damaged during an earthquake. The City is pursuing programs to upgrade facilities, infrastructure, and housing units.
Building Codes and Development Standards
Proposed projects in the Geologic Hazards Overlay District must adhere to California building codes and state law. These codes provide minimum standards to protect property and public safety by regulating the design and construction of excavations, foundations, building frames, retaining walls, and other features to mitigate the effects of earthquakes. State law provides additional seismic safety standards for schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and critical facilities.
Seismic hazard mitigation measures are included.
Adherence to the following goal and policies will help mitigate potential harm from Yucaipa's geologic and seismic hazards. 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

FLOOD SAFETY
Floods are natural and recurrent events that generally do not pose a hazard in an undeveloped area; it is only when floods interact with the built environment —typically, structures built in the floodplain, where they obstruct floodwaters —that they become hazardous to property, structures, and people.
Natural Setting
Yucaipa is bisected by several waterways. Wilson Creek runs in a southwesterly direction and Wildwood Creek runs to the southeast.
Drainage occurs through many small, fluctuating creeks —Yucaipa Creek, Oak Glen Creek, Chicken Springs Wash, Spoor Creek, and Gateway Wash. Wilson and Wildwood creeks and their tributaries converge in Live Oak Canyon, west of Interstate 10, and then flow to the San Timoteo River.
Yucaipa has generally warm to dry weather and averages only 20 inches of rainfall annually. Therefore, most of the creeks are dry during most of the year, except along their upper reaches, which may have small, sustained year-round flow. However, Yucaipa is also subject to intense local storms. Floodwaters from the upper reaches of the mountains converge in Yucaipa's waterways, creating the potential for flooding and safety hazards.
During the late 1960s, Yucaipa storms caused widespread damage to roads, homes, utilities, and property. Since then, the City has completed multimillion -dollar projects to protect the community from flooding. Although channel improvements have significantly reduced the occurrence and severity of flooding, storms continue to cause local flooding. Recent flooding events include:
+ 2011 January Flash Flood/Mudslides
+ 2010 January Flash Flood/Mudslides
+ 2005 August Flash Flood
+ 2002 November Flash Flood
+ 1999 August Flash Flood
+ 1995 January Storm
+ 1993 February Storm
+ 1992 Winter Storms
To prevent and control flooding, Yucaipa and the San Bernardino County Flood Control District manage a network of channels, detention basins, and other flood control infrastructure. More than 28 miles of drainage infrastructure, a dozen detention basins, and natural streams divert floodwaters and recharge groundwater. Additional facilities and flood protection infrastructure are planned. Figure 5-2a, Drainage and Recharge Facilities, shows areas capable of accommodating floodwaters and groundwater recharge.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
The 2010 storms flooded low water
crossings and created safety hazards.
Flood Hazards
Because of Yucaipa's steep terrain and seasonal storm events, the community is subject to a wide range of flooding hazards. The predominant flooding hazards are riverine flooding, mudflows, dam inundation, and urban flooding. These flooding hazards are described below and mapped on subsequent pages.
Riverine Floods
Riverine flooding is the most prevalent flood hazard in Yucaipa and the source for the most devastating floods in the city. Yucaipa has many fluctuating waterways —Yucaipa Creek, Oak Glen Creek, Wildwood Creek, Chicken Springs Wash, and Spoor Creek. Although generally dry, these creeks can quickly accumulate water during storm events, as intense rainfall at higher elevations in the Yucaipa Ridge or Crafton Hills converges downstream in Yucaipa. These floods can overflow channels or adjacent floodways, quickly creating hazardous conditions for residents and motorists.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for identifying flood hazards for communities across the nation. FEMA prepares maps that delineate Special Flood Hazard Areas -a 100-year and 500-year flood event. A 100-year flood is a flood event that has a 1% probability of occurring in any given year; a 500-year flood has
0.2% probability of occurring in any given year. The California Department of Water Resources also has identified areas prone to a 100-year flood using approximate assessment procedures, without specific depths and other flood hazard data. These maps are not FEMA regulatory floodplain maps.
Mudflow/Debris Flow
A mud/debris flow refers to a moving mass of loose mud, sand, soil, rock, water, and air that travels down a slope under the influence of gravity. A mud/debris flow can also flow down a stream, ravine, canyon, arroyo, or gulch. These flows develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground during heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, changing loose earth into a flowing river of mud. Mud/debris flows can travel miles from the source, growing as they pick up trees, boulders, cars, and other materials.
Generally, areas most susceptible to mud/debris flow include steep slopes, landforms subject to erosion, and river channels. In areas burned by forest and brush fires, a lower threshold of rainfall may trigger mud/debris flows. In the past few decades, Yucaipa has experienced many smaller mud/debris flows and landslides along the Crafton Hills, northern Yucaipa, the Yucaipa Hills, and Oak Glen area that have damaged structures and roads. Planning for these situations is an essential post -fire recovery operation.

Dam Inundation
Yucaipa has four open reservoirs. Built in 1978, three reservoirs are located in Yucaipa Regional Park and serve recreational purposes.
These dams are owned and operated by the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. The fourth reservoir is located in Crafton Hills, above the Yucaipa Regional Park. Originally built in 2001, the Crafton Hills Dam was improved in 2013, and the reservoir was tripled in size in 2014. An intertie along Mills Creek diverts water from the State Water Project to fill the expanded Crafton Reservoir.
Dam inundation refers to flooding when water retention structures and dams fail during an earthquake or other emergency. In the event of an earthquake or other catastrophic event, these reservoirs present a remote risk of failure or breach. In that event, floodwaters would extend southward along Oak Glen Road, potentially affecting 50 homes in Chapman Heights. To mitigate this hazard, dams are required to pass safety standards and annual inspections by the California Department of Water Resources.
The City of Yucaipa has additional closed reservoirs (either above or below grade) that are owned, operated, and maintained by the Yucaipa Valley Water District, Western Heights Water Company, and South Mesa Water Company. During a significant natural disaster, these reservoirs could fail and lead to localized inundation, although to a significantly lesser degree than dams. Water districts are required to ensure that closed reservoirs are built, maintained, and retrofitted in accordance with state safety standards.
Urban Flooding
Urban flooding refers to the built environment of the city. Although Yucaipa's flood control and drainage infrastructure direct the majority of floodwaters, flooding during intense storms is inevitable due to the volume of water draining from the mountains. Moving debris can quickly overwhelm or impede well -designed channels and basins, spilling onto streets and property. Typically, storm drains are designed for normal rainfall and provide protection from a normal storm event.
However, when larger storms occur or storm drains are blocked, flooding may occur.
Several areas in Yucaipa are more susceptible to urban flooding. In particular, Dunlap Acres and areas below the confluence at Yucaipa Creek and Wildwood Creek are subject to flooding. Areas where roads decline below grade (low water crossings) or where limited infrastructure is in place are also susceptible to flooding. The City continues to invest in flood control projects (detention basins, storm drains, streets, and sidewalks, etc.) to reduce flood risks. However, due to Yucaipa's unique topography and built environment, urban flooding remains a concern in Yucaipa.
Yucaipa continues to prioritize flood
control projects to reduce potential
flooding hazards. The $6.1 million
Oak Glen Creek Basin Project, $7.2
million Wildwood Creek Basin
Project, and other projects have
significantly reduced flooding
hazards in Dunlap Acres and other
areas of the community.
Completion of the Oak Glen Creek Basins
resulted in lifting floodplain restrictions for
most properties in Dunlap Acres.

Protecting Our Community
Yucaipa protects the community from flooding hazards through the identification of hazards, enforcement of building codes and development standards, implementation of a master plan of drainage and capital improvements, and participation in mutual aid agreements, described below.
Hazard Identification
Yucaipa's Municipal Code has a Floodplain Safety Overlay District that corresponds to FEMA 100-year and 500-year floodplains. These are included on these flood zone boundaries. The Floodplain Safety Overlay District Map identifies areas within Yucaipa needing additional protection from flooding hazards. Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP 1) includes areas subject to a 100-year flood. Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP2) includes all areas between limits of the 100-year flood and subject to a 500-year flood.
Building Codes and Development Standards
Proposed development projects within the Floodplain Safety Overlay District must be designed to meet applicable California building codes and required amendments. Additional mitigation measures for flood hazards may be required, including structure anchoring, construction materials and methods, utility standards, and others as required by the Floodplain Safety Overlay District. Projects must also comply with requirements of the National Flood Insurance Protection Floodplain Management program.
Master Plan of Drainage
The City continuously works on flood control projects to remove properties from delineated floodplains/ floodways and works with FEMA to make map revisions in accordance with federal law. Yucaipa's Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) and the City' capital improvement program outlines planned improvements to flood control
infrastructure— including detention basins, desilting basins, flood channel stabilization, and improvements to drainage facilities and infrastructure needed to provide protection from flooding events.
MPD projects are consistent with the Hazard Mitigation Plan and Yucaipa's annual Capital Improvement Program.
Mutual Aid Agreements
Yucaipa maintains mutual aid agreements that provide for voluntary cooperative efforts and provision of services from other agencies when local capabilities are exceeded during an emergency. Yucaipa has mutual aid agreements with adjacent jurisdictions, San Bernardino County Flood Control District, Yucaipa Valley Water District, the State of California, federal agencies, Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, and American Red Cross, etc. The California Emergency Management Agency also provides coordination and funding to local disaster areas.

FIRE SAFETY
Yucaipa is subject to a range of urban fire hazards due to its built environment —its buildings, roads, and adjacency to other cities.
Yucaipa's dry weather conditions, topography, high winds, and vegetation also place the city at a very high risk of wildfire. Left uncontrolled, fires have the potential to damage or destroy structures, roadways, and utility systems and disrupt the economy.
Fire Hazard Setting
Yucaipa's fire hazard responsibilities include response to urban fires, wildland fires, and emergency medical response.
Urban Fire
Yucaipa's built environment has a medium to low fire hazard.
Developed areas include some apartments, offices, mercantile, and industrial occupancies not normally requiring extensive rescue. Lower - hazard occupancies include a one-, two- or three-family dwellings, scattered small business, and industrial occupancies. Each year, Yucaipa averages 350 fires, including 100 vegetation fires, 100 structure fires, 75 vehicle fires, and 75 miscellaneous fires. Most urban fires can be extinguished within a few hours.
Yucaipa's fire service responsibilities extend beyond firefighting suppression to include a range of paramedic and lifeline services.
Approximately 70% of CAL FIRE calls (more than 7,000 calls annually) are for medical services. The Fire Department also responds to about 500 traffic collisions each year. Because of Yucaipa's demographics and the nature of fire service calls, the provision of licensed paramedics trained in advanced life support during emergencies has become increasingly important.
Yucaipa Fire maintains aid agreements with surrounding agencies to provide assistance during and after a fire emergency. Automatic aid agreements are in place with the City of Redlands Fire Department and Riverside County Fire Department. Yucaipa Fire maintains mutual aid agreements with the US Forest Service for wildland areas north and east of Yucaipa. Mutual and automatic aid agreements are also in place with the San Bernardino County Fire Department. Yucaipa Fire also maintains a cooperative agreement with the San Bernardino County Fire Department.
The Insurance Service Office (ISO) is a leading source of information about property casualty insurance risk for local government. ISO helps establish fire insurance premiums for residential and commercial properties based in part on a city's fire protection. ISO rankings are based on four criteria: a community's emergency communications, fire department equipment and operations, and water supply. ISO rates each community's fire suppression system on a 10-point scale, with one (1) being the highest ranking that can be achieved. Yucaipa maintains a Class 3 ISO rating.

Wildland Fire
Wildland fire is a critical concern in Yucaipa. Expansive open areas are susceptible to destructive wildland fires, which can be exacerbated by dry weather and Santa Ana winds. The National Fire Plan designates Yucaipa as a "community at risk" of high wildland fire hazard (CAL FIRE 2014). Vegetation fuel types in the City include annual grasses and a variety of brush with low fuel moisture that are highly susceptible to and capable of carrying fire.
Since 2000, the City of Yucaipa has experienced many wildland fires due to a natural causes, human error, and arson. Over the past decade, all of the notable fires have occurred in hillsides surrounding Yucaipa. According to CAL FIRE, USFS, and USGS, notable fires include:
+ 2015 Mill 2 Fire burned 35 acres
+ 2013 Mentone/Yucaipa Fire burned 534 acres
+ 2011 Mill Fire burned 100 acres
+ 2009 Pendleton Fire burned 860 acres
+ 2009 Oak Glen Fire burned 1,015 acres
+ 2009 Crafton Hills Fire burned 350 acres
+ 2007 Yucaipa Ridge Fire burned 280 acres
+ 2007 Jefferson Fire burned 125 acres
Responsibility for wildland fire prevention and suppression includes the city, state, and federal government. The federal government has the primary responsibility in Wildwood Canyon, Yucaipa Hills, and National Forest, These "federal responsibility areas" (FRA) total 8% of the acreage within the City and sphere of influence. Areas where the State of California has primary responsibility (called "State Responsibility Areas" or "SRA") comprise 17%, primarily in the Crafton Hills and El Dorado Ranch Park. Local responsibility areas comprise most of the developed areas in Yucaipa.
According to CAL FIRE, half of the City of Yucaipa is designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHZS) based on fuels, terrain, and weather. These lands are characterized by fire -prone land cover — primarily valley grasslands, mixed chaparral, and shrub communities.
Significant residential growth is planned over the buildout of Yucaipa; however, only 3,500 units will be located in a VHFHZS . Of those total units, only a fraction is permitted within SRA lands (-200 units) or within FRA lands (-150 units), which are protected by CAL FIRE and the US Forest Service, respectively.
The City of Yucaipa designated fire -prone areas with a fire safety overlay district. Figure 5-3, Fire Safety Overlay District, designates these areas as FR-1 (Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones) and FR-2, which are lands vulnerable to fire due to proximity to FR-1 areas.
Protecting Our Community
CAL FIRE provides fire service protection for Yucaipa in accordance with its Unit Fire Plan and service contract covering the entire city and 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda CITY OF YUCAIPA GENERAL PI f 19

surrounding State Responsibility Area. The following section describes CAL FIRE services, City requirements for adequate infrastructure, and municipal code requirements for land uses citywide and in the fire service overlay districts.
Fire Stations
CAL FIRE provides fire suppression and paramedic services for Yucaipa in accordance with its Unit Plan and service contract. CAL Fire provides services from three permanent local stations and one reserve station in Oak Glen (volunteer staffed). Table 1 shows Yucaipa's fire stations locations, equipment, and staffing.

3-person crew, incl. 1
captain or engineer
and 2 firefighters.
Varied staffing depends
on available reserve
(volunteer) firefighters
Yucaipa has opted for the CAL FIRE staffing of 3-person crews, plus an assigned Fire Captain at all times on each engine. Through agreements with cooperating fire departments and assigned Yucaipa fire engines, CAL FIRE makes available a total of 4 to 5 fire engines plus a chief officer on a standard structure fire response depending on the reported type of structure, for a total complement of 13 to 16 personnel. Staff arriving at an incident is paramedic qualified and can provide advanced life support services.
Yucaipa Fire strives to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for responding to fire and other emergencies. NFPA recommends that first responders arrive at the fire scene in five minutes or less at least 90% of the time. Response time is measured from the time of the 911 call to arrival at the scene. Yucaipa Fire currently averages about five minutes to all parts of the city, including the Wildwood Canyon and Oak Glen areas.
Over the past several years, Yucaipa Fire has seen an increase in the number of medical aid calls, which have impacted resource deployment and "high time on task" efforts that result in a corresponding increase to response times.

Source: Yucaipa Valley Water District, 2015
Note: The City requires new projects in undersupplied areas to provide fire sprinkler systems and adequately sized on -site reservoirs to provide fire flow requirements Yucaipa's water system (water lines, tanks, pump stations, etc.) is sized to handle the highest demand on the system. This is calculated assuming a worst -case scenario for the fire hydrant farthest from the connection to the distribution system, at the highest elevation, assuming the supply reservoir is half full. Water pipes are sized to allow a maximum daily flow plus fire flow that provides a residual pressure of 20 psi (pounds per square inch) and maximum velocity of 10 fps (feet per second) system wide.
Yucaipa's water system provides adequate water supply, although some areas may comply with lower standards in effect at that time.
CAL FIRE maintains fire pre -plans (included in each assigned fire engine) that address water shortages, building types/construction types, water sources, and other features of the area in question.
When a response is initiated in these areas, the Incident Commander can request additional water resources (e.g., water tenders, mutual aid, aerial support, etc.) as needed.
Water supplies can be interrupted or curtailed due to drought, fire, earthquake (which damage facilities and infrastructure), or power failure. In case of emergency, YVWD maintains backup generators for critical infrastructure to avoid supply interruptions. YVWD can maintain or supplement water supplies through interties with adjacent water companies or standby production wells. Critical facilities are compliant with state seismic safety standards.
In cases of extended -attack fires or wildland fires, CAL FIRE uses a triage of strategies. CAL FIRE maintains emergency land use agreements with the County and Yucaipa Valley Water District to draw water from Yucaipa Reservoir, Crafton Hills Reservoir, and Yucaipa Regional Park. Water tenders are used to transport water to a fire when hydrants or other supplies are not near the fire. Cooperative agreements with other agencies are also employed.

DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
The City is currently developing a map that
identifies residential developments in hazard
areas that do not currently have at least two
emergency evacuation routes identified.
Fire Access Standards
Yucaipa's has adopted the California Fire Code (CFC) with amendments to address local fire hazard concerns. Specific requirements for fire access include:
+ Roadway Design. Access roads and public and private streets shall not exceed a 12% grade, be capable of supporting 75,000 pounds, and built with all-weather driving capabilities + Subdivision Access. Subdivisions must have two points of vehicular ingress and egress from streets, one of which may be used for emergency purposes only.
+ Road widths. Roads shall be at least 24 feet wide citywide and allow for 2-way traffic and 26 feet in FR1 areas; emergency vehicle access only is required to have a 20-foot minimum. + Bridge Design. Per the California Fire Code, access bridges meet nationally recognized design standards, including a capability of supporting 75,000 pounds.
+ Project Perimeter. Projects must provide adequate vehicular access for firefighting vehicles to the perimeter of a project that is adjacent to a fuel modified area or fire hazard area.
Vegetation Management
The Yucaipa Municipal Code incorporated the latest 2013 CFC and appendices, and amended it to address vegetation management. New structures in areas containing combustible vegetation must secure a fuel modification plan approved by the Fire Official. The plan must address water supply, access, building ignition and fire resistance, fire protection systems and equipment, defensible space, and vegetation management consistent with the CFC's "Requirements for Wildland- Urban Interface Fire Areas."
In accordance with the California Public Resources Code, properties upon or adjoining hazardous fire areas must maintain a 100-foot defensible space around structures, with most intensive fuel management within the first 30 feet around the structure. Electrical transmission lines must have at least 10-foot clearances. To facilitate emergency access and evacuation, 10-foot clearances are required along each side of portions of highways and private streets that are improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicles.
Additional vegetation management strategies are employed in state and federal responsibility areas. The United States Forest Service, CAL FIRE, and San Bernardino National Forest maintain a system of fuelbreaks to protect Yucaipa from wildfires. Fuelbreaks are listed in the Oak Glen/Banning Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project and the Inyo- Mono-San Bernardino Unit Fire plans. Fuelbreaks are located below Yucaipa Ridge, the interface of Yucaipa Hills and Oak Glen, Crafton Hills, and Wildwood Canyon.

Building, Development, and Signage Regulations
Yucaipa has adopted the latest edition of the California Fire Code, with all appendices, and amended it to address local concerns. The Fire Marshall reviews plans for structures and buildings citywide, including fire -prone areas. Checklists are used to address fire code requirements, including but not limited to: street and building signage, water supply, water infrastructure, sprinkler requirements, building requirements (sprinklers, smoke detectors, roofing, etc.), access roads, and vegetation management among others.
The City enforces uniform building address and street sign letters.
Street sign letters must be at least 4" in height and 3/8" in width. As required by the Fire Code, addresses for single-family structures shall be 4" in height, 3/8" in width, on contrasting backgrounds, and plainly visible and legible from an access roadway or the street. Commercial and multi -family projects shall have numbers of 8" in height and 1/2"in width, and on contrasting background. Industrial address letters must be 12" in height andl" in width.
Hazardous Materials
Yucaipa Fire is responsible for inspecting facilities that handle hazardous materials, generate or treat hazardous waste, and/or operate an underground storage tank. Yucaipa Fire also responds to situations where local traffic accidents lead to a spillage of hazardous materials. Additional governmental agencies help protect Yucaipans from hazardous waste and materials. As the certified unified public agency (CUPA), the County of San Bernardino Fire Department implements the hazardous waste and materials standards for Yucaipa.
This program covers seven areas.
+ Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) Program
+ Area Plans for Hazardous Materials Emergencies
+ California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program + Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventories + Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP)
+ Hazardous Waste Generator Program
+ Onsite Waste Treatment Program
+ Underground Storage Tank Program
While Yucaipa does not have large hazardous waste generators or facilities typical for cities, other facilities present key fire hazards.
Southern California Gas Company operates a high-pressure gas transmission and distribution pipeline that extends along Interstate 10 and then northward along the western portion of the city and the southernmost section of the community north of the 1-10. If this high- pressure gas distribution line ruptured during an earthquake, the released gas could result in a significant fire.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Management of emergencies and disasters consists of: 1) event preparedness; 2) response during or soon after the event; (3) post - event recovery; and 4) hazard mitigation. To accomplish these phases requires quick, dynamic, and effective response from multiple entities.
This requires preparation by public agencies, neighborhoods, businesses, and families.
Planning For Disasters
Yucaipa Fire Department, Police Department, and the public safety management within the City Manager's office coordinate emergency preparedness planning, response, and recovery efforts. These include:
Preparedness
Yucaipa adheres to the National Incident Management System (NIMS) for emergency preparedness. NIMS is a systematic approach for government, nongovernmental organizations, critical infrastructure owners and operators, and the private sector to work together to manage threats and hazards. The NIMS provides a comprehensive and standardized incident management system for agencies that are involved in emergency management and/or incident response. The City of Yucaipa is NIMS-compliant as articulated in its Emergency Operation Plan and therefore eligible for federal preparedness grants and award.
Response Phase
Yucaipa follows the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) to structure its response phase of emergency management.
Adopted by California, SEMS unifies all elements of emergency management into a single integrated and standardized system. SEMS incorporates an incident command system, field -level emergency response system, multi/inter-agency coordination, mutual aid, and operational area concept. Yucaipa is SEMS-compliant and therefore eligible for reimbursement of response -related costs under state disaster assistance programs.
Recovery/Prevention
Yucaipa coordinates and manages recovery/prevention activities following emergencies/disasters through the City Manager and the Emergency Services Coordinator. City staff may also assist in facilitating and leading the recovery process. For declared emergencies, City staff complete a detailed damage/safety assessment that is forwarded to County OES for inclusion in the County's IDE report. After -Action Reports will identify corrective actions and make recommendations for correcting problems noted in the response/recovery effort, or during exercises and training.
The City's Emergency Operations Plan and Hazard Mitigation Plan provide additional information on these and other topics.
Community events like "Are You Ready
Yucaipa?" draw more than 1,000
residents and businesses each year.

DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
Protection and Preservation of Public Facilities, Critical Infrastructure, and Lifeline Services
Disaster planning and recovery depend on a reliable network of public facilities, critical infrastructure, and lifeline services. Public facilities include police and fire stations, schools, community centers, and emergency operations and communication centers. Critical infrastructure includes generators, water and sewer lines, utilities, transportation routes, etc. Lifeline services critical to health and safety include water, sewer, energy, waste disposal, communications, and others. Figure S-4, Critical Facilities and Infrastructure, identifies critical facilities and infrastructure.
Emergency preparedness extends beyond construction activities to planning in system redundancies so that a single event (e.g., power failure or road failure) does not prevent the provision of essential services, such as paramedics, water supply, or other service. California law mandates that buildings, bridges, and infrastructure be built in accordance with state and federal building standards to protect from flooding, earthquakes, fire, and other disasters. The City periodically upgrades facilities in accordance with the above.
Evacuation Routes
With its location in the foothills and near wildlands, Yucaipa is subject to natural hazards. These include 100-year floodplains, active faults and geological hazards, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and other natural hazards. During an emergency, evacuation routes are needed to move people to safe locations and move equipment to affected hazard areas. Yucaipa has three levels of evacuation routes, depending on the emergency.
+ Local Routes. Eight arterials (Bryant, Oak Glen, Yucaipa, 14th Street, Wildwood Canyon, County Line, Calimesa Boulevard, and Mesa Grande) are designated as evacuation routes.
+ Regional Routes. The San Bernardino County General Plan has designated Oak Glen Road as the primary regional evacuation routes for the Oak Glen Mountain community.
+ Federal and State Routes. Interstate 10 is the primary federal evacuation route while Highway 38 is the primary state - designated evacuation route from the mountain communities.
The precise evacuation route to use during an emergency depends on many factors, including the type of natural disaster, location of incident, weather conditions, road conditions, and traffic volume.
Figure S-5, Evacuation Routes in Yucaipa, identifies the local, regional, and state/federal evacuation routes in the city.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
SEVERE WEATHER
Typically, communities focus public safety programs on addressing community -wide hazards such as earthquakes, fire, flooding, and other hazards that have a widespread impact and cost. However, severe weather conditions can also cause substantial damage to property and infrastructure and result in injuries and loss of life.
Yucaipa recognizes that the frequency of severe weather in the community makes it a public safety concern for residents.
Weather Hazards
According to the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan, Yucaipa is generally susceptible to high winds, extreme heat, torrential rain and lightning, and occasional snow or freezes.
High Winds
Yucaipa's location at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains makes it susceptible to straight-line winds that can exceed 100 miles per hour, knocking down trees and power lines and disrupting utility service. From October through February, Yucaipa also experiences warm and dry Santa Ana winds that descend from the high desert and can reach speeds of 100 miles per hour. The most significant hazard from high winds is an increased wildfire danger, but winds can down trees and power lines, damage property, and create hazards for aircraft. Every year, Yucaipa experiences numerous high wind events.
Extreme Heat
Yucaipa is known for exceptionally dry and hot weather, particularly during summer when maximum temperatures often exceed 100 degrees. Extreme heat becomes a broader health hazard when it either affects residents (due to the potential for heat -related illness) or results in electric power outages. Periodic extreme heat events in San Bernardino County influence the ability of utilities to provide electric service. Although formal stage alerts causing service interruption have not occurred frequently in several years, load warnings and voluntary reductions have occurred.
Rainfall and Freezing Weather
Due to elevation and topography, Yucaipa experiences more intense storms than other cities. Thunderstorms from July through September can create lightning strikes, erratic high winds, and torrential rains.
Yucaipa's elevation also results in seasonal freezing weather and one to four inches of snow each year. Normal rainfall and snow events rarely lead to significant safety hazards. However, freezing conditions can lead to slippery roads and a higher risk of automobile accidents.
Freezing weather, when coupled with power outages, can also leave residents unable to heat homes.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
Protecting Our Community
The lead agency responsible for addressing severe weather events and the impacts on the Yucaipa community is incident specific. Utility companies are responsible for service disruption from downed power lines or heat events. The fire department is responsible for wind - driven fires and provides sandbags to protect against rainfall and mudslides. The public works department is responsible for clearing downed trees that block streets. The police department would direct traffic in cases of downed or malfunctioning signals.
GOAL S-5: SEVERE WEATHER
Minimize the impacts of severe weather conditions on
residents, businesses, and visitors.

Interstate 10 is the primary source of noise
and vibration in southwest Yucaipa.
1 NOISE AND VIBRATION
Noise is defined as unwanted sound. From the rumbling of trucks on the roadways to the whine of leaf blowers on a quiet morning, noise and vibration can interrupt our conversations, thoughts, and leisure.
Many excessive sources of noise (e.g., freeways) are also often accompanied by vibration. Noise and vibration sensitivity varies throughout the day or evening, at different locations, and among receptors. Despite these variations, most people agree that noise and vibration adversely affect health and well-being.
Unlike most cities in southern California, Yucaipa is far from many urban noise sources —airports, railroads, and heavy industry. Yet Yucaipa's noise and vibration environment still varies throughout the community. While the North Bench and Wildwood Canyon have more localized noise sources, commercial centers or business districts experience higher levels of noise from business, roads, and traffic.
Interstate 10 is the largest source of noise and vibration, the contours of which extend for some distance from the freeway.
Measuring Noise and Vibration
Noise is a complex subject and can be measured in different ways.
Noise is measured by an A -weighted sound pressure level, or dBA, which accounts for sound pressure level, the pitch of sound, and the way the human ear responds to both pressure and pitch. CNEL is the average sound level over a 24-hour period, with a penalty of 5 dB added from 7 pm to 10 pm and a penalty of 10 dB added for the hours of 10 pm to 7 am. Details on noise fundamentals are found in the noise study conducted for the General Plan update.
Vibration is an oscillatory motion through a solid medium in which the motion's amplitude can be described in terms of displacement, velocity, or acceleration. Vibration is normally associated with activities such as railroads or vibration -intensive stationary sources, but can also be associated with construction equipment such as jackhammers, pile drivers, and hydraulic hammers. Heavy trucks can also generate significant levels of ground borne vibrations. Potholes, pavement joints, and uneven pavement surfaces can increase the vibration from passing vehicles.
Noise and vibration levels do not affect all land uses or people equally.
Certain land uses are more sensitive to levels of noise and vibration.
For example, residential, school, health care facilities, and open space/recreation areas (where quiet environments are necessary for enjoyment, health, and safety) are more sensitive to noise. Generally, commercial and industrial uses are not considered noise- and vibration -sensitive uses unless the interior level of noise and vibration exceeds state or federal occupational standards.

Land Use Planning and Compatibility
Yucaipa is responsible for protecting residents and visitors from unacceptable noise and vibration. Table S-3 shows that the City requires specific land uses to achieve an interior noise level of 45-50 dBA and exterior noise level of 60-65 dBA depending on land use.
When non -transportation sources are the primary noise source, the City also uses hourly standards. These standards are intended to ensure that land uses within Yucaipa are compatible and do not detract from quality of life due to unacceptable levels of noise.

Under the municipal code, no ground vibration is allowed which can be felt without the aid of instruments at or beyond the lot line, or which produces a particle velocity greater than or equal to two -tenths (0.2) inch per second measured at or beyond the lot line. Construction activities are generally exempt during working days.
Future Noise Levels
Yucaipa's predominant source of noise levels is transportation related.
Based on noise measurements, projected noise levels were identified and calculated at buildout of the general plan and then compared with City standards to determine the most noise -impacted areas. Areas having an average day -night sound level (Ldn) of 60 dBA (if residential) or 65 dBA or greater (less sensitive uses) were identified.

Protecting Our Community
The state and federal government regulate sources of noise from transportation sources or the workplace. Therefore, the City works to control noise through the following programs and policies.
Noise Insulation Standards
Yucaipa enforces State of California Noise Insulation Standards (California Administrative Code, Title 24) and Chapter 35 of the Uniform Building Code. These regulations specify that acoustical studies must be prepared for all new multiple -family projects, condominiums, hotels, and motels proposed for areas within the 60 CNEL contour. In accordance with noise insulation standards, project applicants must demonstrate that building design features can reduce interior noise levels to 45 CNEL or better.
Noise Ordinance and Vibration Standards
The municipal code gives the City authority to regulate noise at its source (except transportation sources), protect noise -sensitive land uses, and regulate the level of vibration. The municipal code also specifies permitted periods for construction and grading activities to exceed specified noise thresholds, vibration thresholds, and exemptions where applicable. Construction activities typically have some level of exemption during working hours. These standards are also applicable to nontransportation sources of noise and vibration and periodic nuisances within the community.
Noise Overlay District
Yucaipa applies a noise hazard overlay district to areas where the Ldn is 65 dBA CNEL or greater. For new projects, the 60-dBA CNEL contour represents areas in which proposed noise sensitive land use should be evaluated. Projects should strive to meet the 60-dBA CNEL noise standard. An exterior noise level of up to 65 dBA CNEL will be allowed for new projects, provided exterior noise levels have been substantially mitigated through the reasonable application of the best available noise reduction technology and interior noise exposure does not exceed 45 dBA with windows and doors closed.
Land Use Planning
To ensure land use compatibility, City programs focus on reducing noise and vibration levels by shielding the receiver, thus interrupting the path of noise and vibration. This is achieved by three means: 1) proactive land use planning that separates potentially incompatible uses; 2) building design and site planning; and 3) reducing noise and vibration from the freeway and roadways through appropriate barriers (e.g., walls, landscaping, berms, and other appropriate techniques).
Sounds walls should be the last resort after all other practical design - related noise and vibration reduction measures have been undertaken.

AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Recent years have seen increasing awareness of how human activities affect the environment. Industrial activities, transportation, and other activities primarily using fossil fuels are known to release pollutants, carbon dioxide, and other gases into the atmosphere. The cumulative effect of these activities has been twofold: air pollution and a global "greenhouse" effect.
Air Quality
Air pollution has long been a health concern in Southern California.
Smog is the term used to describe air pollutants, including ground - level ozone (smog's main ingredient), particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide. When released to the air, these gases react with each other in sunlight to produce smog. Ocean breezes then sweep the smog inland, where warmer air traps the smog close to the ground where people live and breathe.
San Bernardino County has long experienced poor air quality. Just 25 years ago, 60% of all days in San Bernardino County had unhealthful air quality in 1990. Since then, stringent regulations implemented by the South Coast Air Quality Management District and technological advances have led to significant improvements in air quality. In 2015, only 30% of the days each year in San Bernardino County have unhealthful air quality.
Southern California is now in compliance with state and federal standards for many criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2, and lead (Pb). However, the region continues to be in severe and/or extreme nonattainment status for particulate matter (PMio and PM2.5), and ozone (03). The City's primary source of air pollution is ozone (03), while other areas in the County also have high levels of particulate matter.
Even at today's levels, poor air quality continues to affect health.
Breathing ozone can trigger chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma.
Ground -level ozone also can reduce lung function, inflame lung linings, and even permanently scar lung tissue. Ozone is also known to affect sensitive vegetation and ecosystems, including forests, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas.
Several regulatory agencies are involved in improving air quality. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is responsible for assuring that the ambient air quality standards are attained and is responsible for promulgating regulations for stationary sources. The California Air Resources Board focuses its air pollution activities on air pollution emanating from transportation sources —vehicles, trucks, railroads, and marine vessels. The federal Environmental Protection Agency regulates airplane emissions.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
Climate Change
Just as air pollution adversely affects health, it also affects climate. The Earth's temperature depends on a balance between incoming energy from the sun, and outgoing energy that is radiated to space as heat.
Atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other gases trap energy and prevent heat from escaping into the atmosphere. The cumulative impact of millions of GHG-generating activities affects this balance.
The reduction in the release of heat back into the atmosphere has been credited with global warming. The consequences of climate change are hard to predict. Globally, impacts could include warmer temperatures, decreasing snow pack, sea level rise, and impacts on water resources, wildlife, habitat, and agricultural production.
However, according to the California EPA, even if actions were taken to significantly curtail GHG emissions, the built-up emissions in the atmosphere would result in some level of climate warming.
The California Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) and the California Global Warming Solutions Act have attempted to address climate change issues in a comprehensive manner. On the federal government level, the courts have ruled that GHGs are a source of pollution that is covered under the Clean Air Act. As such, state and federal statutes have been expanded to cover a diverse set of topics, such as land use and transportation, energy and renewables, water efficiency and conservation, and waste and recycling.
Yucaipa contributes to the production of greenhouse gas emissions in a variety of direct and indirect ways. Like most jurisdictions in southern California, the City of Yucaipa's greenhouse gas emissions are predominantly the result of five activities: building energy usage, on -road transportation sources (e.g., vehicles), off -road equipment, solid waste management, and wastewater and water services.
Consequently, these five areas also represent the best and most productive opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas reductions to meet the City's mandated targets.
SANBAG's Regional Reduction Plan contains a regional assessment of GHG generation and programs for jurisdictions to implement that collectively achieve reductions in regional GHGs. Building off the regional plan, Yucaipa's Climate Action Plan presents the greenhouse gas inventories and sets forth local measures to reduce GHG emissions under the City's jurisdictional control to achieve the City's reduction targets. The CAP is based upon the Regional Reduction Plan, but has been revised to accommodate the growth projections for 2020 from the proposed 2015 General Plan update.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
Protecting Our Community
The City of Yucaipa has adopted a number of plans and regulations that attempt to improve air quality in the community, reduce hazards for residents, and address requirements in state and federal law.
These programs are summarized below.
Climate Action Plan
The City of Yucaipa has adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to address requirements under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The CAP presents the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for Yucaipa, identifies the effectiveness of California, regional, and countywide initiatives to reduce GHG emissions, and concludes with City strategies to achieve GHG targets for Yucaipa. The General Plan Environmental Impact Report contains mitigation measures that are being followed through the duration of the general plan to reduce GHG emissions as required by state law.
Public Nuisance Ordinances
If it is determined during project -level environmental review that a project has the potential to emit nuisance odors beyond the property line, the City has the authority to require odor management plans.
Such facilities could include, but are not limited to wastewater treatment, composting or recycling, painting/coating operations, food processing facilities, and other such businesses. Commercial poultry ranches must also have an approved manure management plan to control odors and associated public nuisances. Odor management plans shall identify best available control technologies to reduce odors.
Land Use Planning
Air pollution is most acute near freeways, industrial areas, diesel truck routes, and busy/congested roadways. As such, CARB recommends that "sensitive land uses" such as residences, care facilities, schools, day-care centers, playgrounds, or medical facilities not be located near major sources of pollution. The General Plan provides policies to avoid placing sensitive land uses near sources of air pollution without the preparation of a health risk assessment (HRA). Similarly, qualified polluting industries that are relocating to or expanding must also prepare required HRA prior to approval of local permits.
The following goal and policies are intended to support local and regional goals to improve air quality and mitigate climate change. 7-46 I CITY OF YUCAIPA GENERAL PLAN

SAFETY PROGRAMS
In accordance with Section 65302 of the Government Code, this section outlines feasible implementation actions that Yucaipa will undertake to achieve the goals, policies, and objectives in the Safety Element. Table S-3 provides a summary of the objectives, timeframes, and implementation measures.
1. Drainage Master Plan
Historically, Yucaipa has been subject to intense flooding that has resulted in personal and economic damages in the community. In 1993, Yucaipa completed and adopted a master drainage plan (MPD) that specified $90 million worth of improvements to its stormwater facilities, including spillover detention and desalting basins. Yucaipa's MPD assesses planned improvements to flood control channels and detention basins; desilting basins; flood channel stabilization; and improvements to drainage facilities and infrastructure needed to provide protection from flooding events.
Action. Continue to implement projects identified in the Master Plan of Drainage; amend plan as needed to maintain accuracy and relevance for flood planning purposes.
2. Flood Plain Safety Overlay District Map
Yucaipa's Floodplain Safety Overlay District identifies areas within the city that need additional protection from flooding hazards. In accordance with FEMA regulations, two flood risks were identified.
Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP 1) includes areas subject to a 100-year flood. Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP 2) includes areas between the 100-year flood and subject to a 500-year flood. These maps are used for planning purposes, including prioritizing capital improvements to reduce flooding risks and requiring enhanced development regulations for properties within a review area.
Action. Continue to update plan as capital improvement projects are completed, risks are identified or modified, or flood insurance rate map revisions are made.
3. Building and Development Standards
The Yucaipa Municipal Code contains enhanced building codes and development standards for projects located within the floodplain.
Enforcement of these codes is a precondition for FEMA to make available flood insurance policies for Yucaipa property owners and businesses. Development projects may be subject to FP 1 or FP 2 regulations, flooding studies, or other mitigation. In certain areas where flood risks have not been defined by FEMA, the City Engineer may require additional studies or mitigation.
Action. Maintain the floodplain management ordinance in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Program and require adherence to the ordinance and state and federal laws.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
4. Low Water Crossings
In 1999, the City Council adopted a resolution to prioritize projects that would eliminate low water crossings at several areas as a precondition for applying for federal grant funding to build bridges over the drainage channels and provide "all weather" crossing for traffic. These roads were always closed to traffic during significant storm events. Since then, the City has built bridges or completed "low water crossing replacements" at 5 locations and the City is currently in the design and/or environmental phase for 6 other locations. In 2015, the City Council approved service level options to budget for improvements at the remaining low water crossings.
Action. Continue to implement low water crossing replacement projects identified in the City's capital improvement program and authorizing ordinance.
5. Flood Management Projects
Yucaipa's Master Plan of Drainage is the blueprint for how the City will protect the community from flooding through the construction of infrastructure. The City's Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) provides an assessment of drainage and infrastructure needs and a plan for the construction of detention basins and facilities to protect from flooding hazards. Yucaipa's Master Plan of Drainage is periodically updated, most recently in 2011 and 2008. Needed improvements to the City's drainage system are included in the City's capital improvement program and funded through the annual budget.
Action. Continue the financing and construction of drainage improvements noted in the capital improvements program that are recommended in the Master Plan of Drainage.
6. Flood Infrastructure Maintenance
Yucaipa's extensive network of drainage courses, detention basins, and storm drains requires periodic maintenance to minimize the potential for riverine and urban flooding. The San Bernardino Flood Control District is responsible for maintaining, cleaning, and repairing regional facilities, while the City is responsible for maintaining, cleaning, and repairing all local facilities. The California Department of Water Resources and County Flood Control are responsible for maintaining reservoirs in Yucaipa. To facilitate this maintenance effort, the County operates a master stormwater system maintenance program for regional facilities.
Action. Maintain agreements to ensure proper clearing, maintenance, and repair of stormwater facilities, detention basins, and channels to protect against flooding.

7. Fire Code Amendments
The City has adopted the latest edition of the California Fire Code, with all appendices. The City has also amended the code to address roadway and project access, fuel modification, brush clearance and vegetation management, building signage, and other features.
Additional structural requirements have been added for projects in the fire review overlay district. These codes are generally consistent with regulations in the National Fire Protection Association, Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, Wildland-Urban Interface Code, etc.
However, as conditions in Yucaipa and best practices change over time, a periodic review of City codes is warranted.
Action. Review and revise, if necessary, City fire codes to accommodate applicable regulations of the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, state law, and best practices.
8. Fire Safety Overlay Districts
When Yucaipa incorporated in 1989, City leaders adopted portions of the County's Development Code, including fire safety overlay district requirements that are more stringent than most fire codes. Since then, the FR1 and FR2 overlay district requirements have been amended, but not in a comprehensive manner. Under state law, a city may adopt ordinances, rules, or regulations to provide fire prevention restrictions or regulations that are necessary or more stringent than state law to meet local fire conditions and needs. To implement the updated Safety Element, a comprehensive review of fire safety overlay district regulations is warranted. As part of the development of new Planned Development projects or Specific Plans within the FR1 district, include additional provisions that help improve the fire safety conditions, including the implementation of a fire protection plan.
Action. Review and revise, if necessary, local fire overlay district regulations to accommodate applicable regulations of the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, state law, and best practices.
9. Water Supply for Wildland Areas
The City, CAL FIRE, and Yucaipa Valley Water District require that adequate water supplies be made available to address the water supply and fire flow needs for new development. However, citywide water supply standards have not been adopted for wildland areas. In wildland areas, CAL FIRE has access to emergency land use agreements, water tenders, and other provisions to supply water where needed. While CAL FIRE has the capability to address fire suppression needs in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection recommends that the City review standards (such as water supply standards for wildland areas) for consideration and incorporation.
Action. Review and revise, if necessary, local municipal codes to address water supply standards recommended by the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.

10. Subdivision Map Requirements
As a condition of subdivision map approval, the City requires that: 1) subdivision design shall provide for safe and ready access for fire and other emergency equipment and evacuation routes; 2) the subdivision shall be served by water supplies for fire protection in accordance with designated standards; and 3) in hazardous fire areas, all flammable or combustible vegetation shall be removed from around all structures in accordance with the Fire Code. However, recently adopted codes (Government 66474.02) require additional findings to be made for the approval of a tentative or parcel map in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
Action. Review and, if necessary, revise Yucaipa Municipal Code to incorporate criteria for tentative and parcel map approvals specified in Government Code 66474.02.
11. Upgrade and Retrofit Program
Yucaipa's structures, streets, water infrastructure, and other features were built in accordance with fire, seismic, flooding, and other safety codes required at that time. The City strives to ensure that public buildings, roads, water infrastructure, and other features are built or retrofitted to meet required safety standards. However, there may be a need to retrofit older structures, buildings and infrastructure outside the purview of City responsibility, such as privately owned mobile homes, buildings, water facilities, and other infrastructure. The City will continue to explore options for grants, loans, and/or other funding mechanisms to address buildings, structures, and facilities needing upgrade.
Action. Continue to upgrade public facilities in compliance with state and federal law. Explore grants, loans, and other mechanisms to encourage the retrofit of privately owned structures, buildings, infrastructure, and other features to meet current safety codes.
12. Hazard Mitigation/Emergency Operations Plan Update
Yucaipa prepares and implements a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) to protect the community from disasters. Both plans are updated regularly in accordance with state and federal law. The Safety Element identified potential evacuation routes, depending on the hazard. To address other changing requirements, future updates of the EOP, HMP, and Safety Element will ensure that policies, procedures, and protocols will be mutually supportive and consistent with one another.
Action. Review and, if necessary, revise the HMP and EOP to address protocols, procedures, and mapping for evacuation routes and overlay districts. Update the safety element as required to incorporate climate change and resiliency strategies from the HMP and revisions to the EOP that are made in subsequent updates.

INTRODUCTION
Protecting the public's health, safety, and welfare is a fundamental goal of any municipality, and this goal is a central part of Yucaipa's mission. Yucaipa is committed to protecting its residents from natural and human -caused hazards due to geology, flooding, wildfires, severe weather, air pollution, and climate change. This Public Safety Element is designed to address the community's safety, health, and welfare as they relate to these hazards.
Yucaipans cherish the hills, landforms, and creeks in their community.
When coupled with a built environment of homes, buildings, and infrastructure systems, however, these features are also the source of hazards. Earthquake faults that flank the hills can trigger landslides.
The streams and rivers that created the "benches" and canyons over time can overflow channels and lead to flooding. The grasslands covering the hills present a risk of wildland fires. Even severe weather can present safety hazards.
In light of these concerns, this Public Safety Element is intended to: 1) recognize the local hazards associated with Yucaipa's natural environment (geology, landforms, waterways, and weather), and 2) identify methods to manage these risks and protect people, property, infrastructure, and structures from harm. As the policies and actions are implemented over the next 20 years, the City of Yucaipa will be increasingly less impacted by disasters, and in the process, become more self-reliant, sustainable, and prosperous.

Purpose and Scope
The Public Safety Element is a state -mandated general plan element that is intended to identify and protect the community from risks due to natural and human -caused hazards. The element addresses the following hazards with associated goals and policies:
+ Natural Hazards. Natural hazards include a range of seismic and geologic hazards, flooding hazards, wildland and urban fire hazards, and severe weather, most of which are caused by inclement weather or natural events.
+ Human -Caused Hazards. These include air pollution, climate change, and noise hazards that are caused by human activities.
Other transportation -related and public safety hazards are addressed in other elements of the general plan.
+ Emergency Preparedness. Emergency preparedness refers to the range of procedures, methods, and protocols the City of Yucaipa uses to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond to them, and recover from them.
Related Plans
Yucaipa's Public Safety Element is implemented by various plans for protecting the community. Some of these plans are provided by the City of Yucaipa; others are provided by other organizations. + Drainage and Flooding. The City's Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) provides an assessment of drainage and infrastructure needs and a plan for the maintenance and construction of detention basins to protect from flooding hazards.
+ Fire Service Planning. The Yucaipa Fire Department, through a contract with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), prepares a fire services plan to provide fire protection and emergency medical services to the city.
+ Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP). Yucaipa's LHMP identifies hazards and establishes a plan to prepare for emergencies and disasters and mitigate potential impactsimpacts, —developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and FEMA's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP identifies and profiles hazards, analyzes the people and facilities at risk, and provides mitigation actions to reduce or eliminate hazard risk.
These mitigation actions include short and long-term strategies, with planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. The link to the plan is https://yucaipa.gov/disaster- preparedness/ in accordance with Government Code §§8685.9 and 65302.6, the City is adopting the HMP concurrent with the General Plan. The City Manager or Applicant's Authorized Agent is authorized to make any revisions as required by the Fcderai Emergency Management Agency
+ Emergency Operations Plan. The City's Emergency Operations Plan provides a comprehensive organizational and procedural 07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

guide for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural disasters or human -caused emergencies.
The next sections provide context for each topic, followed by goals, policies, and programs to achieve the General Plan vision.
GEOLOGIC AND SEISMIC SAFETY
The City's location in the Yucaipa Plain, and the Crafton and Yucaipa Hills, coupled with the many streams that flow through the community, has contributed to its naturally undulating terrain. The natural forces (flooding, earthquakes, winds, etc.) responsible for Yucaipa's unique terrain also have the potential to damage structures, roads, and utility systems as well as threaten people.
Geologic Hazards
The City rests primarily on alluvium deposited by the Yucaipa Creek and its tributaries. Older deposits consisting of alluvial fan conglomerate and other decomposed, clay -rich alluvia cover Central Yucaipa and Dunlap Acres. Younger alluvial deposits cover the river wash areas and Dunlap Acres west of Oak Glen Road. Parts of west Yucaipa are on Reservoir Canyon Hill, which is composed of crystalline rocks and older alluvium. Crafton Hills and Yucaipa Hills are composed of crystalline and metamorphic rock.
Yucaipa's geologic setting can, under certain circumstances, present hazardous conditions. These hazards are most frequently triggered by seismic or flood events.
+ Unstable Soils. Yucaipa's clay soils and young, relatively low - compacted soils can shrink or swell depending on moisture content. This occurs particularly during flood or earthquake.
Structures on these soils may experience shifting, cracking, and breaking damage as soils shrink, subside, or expand. Unstable soils are primarily adjacent to the drainage courses.
+ Slope Instability. Slope failures occur most often along steep canyons, hillsides, and channels and can be triggered by flooding and earthquakes. Although Yucaipa has a low to moderate potential, landslides have occurred in Crafton Hills and in northern Yucaipa. These areas are also subject to a higher risk of mud/debris flow due to the topography.
+ Ground Subsidence. Ground subsidence involves the settling of ground surface due to extraction of oil, gas, or groundwater.
Although Yucaipa does not have extraction fields, the Yucaipa Basin is in overdraft and thus has a low to moderate potential for ground subsidence throughout the community. Isolated cases of ground subsidence have occurred in the past.
+ Soil Corrosiveness. Many studies in Yucaipa have documented the presence of corrosive soils, which are those with a low pH.
Corrosive soils can be responsible for premature eroding of buried metal pipes and concrete foundations. In terms of

Excessive rainfall after a fire can lead to

location, Yucaipa's soils can be corrosive on its adjacent hillsides, in Central Yucaipa, and portions of Dunlap Acres.
Seismic Hazards
Yucaipa is in a seismically active region. The San Andreas Fault and San Jacinto Fault Zone accommodate up to 80% of the slip rate between the North American and Pacific plates. The San Bernardino segment of the San Andreas transects the northern portion of the community along the base of Yucaipa Ridge. The San Andreas is the dominant fault in southern California and is capable of producing an 8.0 magnitude (M) earthquake, which is also capable of threatening property and lives.
Yucaipa has surface traces of active faults capable of producing damaging earthquakes. The Chicken Hill Fault runs through west Yucaipa and parallels Oak Glen Road south of Yucaipa Boulevard. The Crafton Hills Fault runs along the southeast front of the Crafton Hills of Yucaipa. Northern Yucaipa is also transected by a series of fault lines, designated Alquist-Priolo Zones (AP zones). Among others, recent earthquakes include:
+ 2008 Chino Hills earthquake (M5.5)
+ 2005 Yucaipa earthquake (M4.9)
+ 2003 Big Bear earthquake (M5.4)
+ 2003 Yucaipa earthquake (M5.2)
+ 2001 Yucaipa earthquake (M5.1)
+ 1998 Crafton Hills earthquake (M4.5)
+ 1994 Highland earthquake (M5.0)
Seismic hazards depend on the fault, soil types, and water table.
Geologic hazards in Yucaipa include:
+ Ground Shaking. Yucaipa is subject to severe ground shaking due to fault ruptures along many of its active faults. The most intense shaking that could damage structures is expected from the San Andreas Fault, which passes along northern Yucaipa. Additional shaking could also occur adjacent to or near the many active faults and trace faults crossing the community.
+ Liquefaction. Yucaipa is generally susceptible to liquefaction, which is the loss of the strength or cohesion of soil. This can occur on young, loose, unconsolidated sediments. Whereas much of the City has liquefaction concerns, the only area at high risk of liquefaction is near Mill Creek Canyon, where groundwater levels are within 50 feet of the surface.
+ Seismically Induced Settlement. Much of Yucaipa is underlain by young, unconsolidated alluvial deposits and artificial fill that may be susceptible to seismically induced settlement. Sparse information is available on historical occurrences. This hazardous condition is most likely to occur in the Dunlap Acres planning area, portions of the North Bench, and along creeks.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
Protecting Our Community
Protecting Yucaipa from the threat of geologic hazards is achieved through the identification of hazards, mitigation of structures at risk, enforcement of building codes and development standards, and public education and emergency preparedness.
Hazard Identification
The City of Yucaipa has established a Geologic Hazard Overlay District in the Municipal Code for designated areas within the community where active faults, liquefaction, subsidence, and mudflows may present a threat to structures, property, and people. Figure S-1, Geologic Hazard Overlay District, designates the general location of potential geologic and seismic hazards in Yucaipa.
Geotechnical Study
For building and structures proposed within the Geologic Hazards Overlay District or other areas required by the City Building Official, a geotechnical hazard study is required as part of the application. The geotechnical study must document the potential for geologic and seismic hazards in accordance with local regulations and state law.
Seismic hazard mitigation measures identified by the geotechnical study, overlay district, or City Building Official must be incorporated into the project design prior to approval.
Structures at Risk
Advances in engineering techniques and building codes have reduced the threat of seismic -related collapse in new buildings. However, buildings built before modern seismic standards are at risk — unreinforced masonry, precast concrete tilt -up walls, soft -stories, and nonductile concrete frames. Of particular concern are Yucaipa's 42 mobile home parks. Critical infrastructure (gas, water, electric lines, and aboveground water storage reservoirs) can also be damaged during an earthquake. The City is pursuing programs to upgrade facilities, infrastructure, and housing units.
Building Codes and Development Standards
Proposed projects in the Geologic Hazards Overlay District must adhere to California building codes and state law. These codes provide minimum standards to protect property and public safety by regulating the design and construction of excavations, foundations, building frames, retaining walls, and other features to mitigate the effects of earthquakes. State law provides additional seismic safety standards for schools, hospitals, infrastructure, and critical facilities.
Seismic hazard mitigation measures are included.
Adherence to the following goal and policies will help mitigate potential harm from Yucaipa's geologic and seismic hazards.

7. PUBLIC SAFETY
FLOOD SAFETY
Floods are natural and recurrent events that generally do not pose a hazard in an undeveloped area; it is only when floods interact with the built environment —typically, structures built in the floodplain, where they obstruct floodwaters —that they become hazardous to property, structures, and people.
Natural Setting
Yucaipa is bisected by several waterways. Wilson Creek runs in a southwesterly direction and Wildwood Creek runs to the southeast.
Drainage occurs through many small, fluctuating creeks —Yucaipa Creek, Oak Glen Creek, Chicken Springs Wash, Spoor Creek, and Gateway Wash. Wilson and Wildwood creeks and their tributaries converge in Live Oak Canyon, west of Interstate 10, and then flow to the San Timoteo River.
Yucaipa has generally warm to dry weather and averages only 20 inches of rainfall annually. Therefore, most of the creeks are dry during most of the year, except along their upper reaches, which may have small, sustained year-round flow. However, Yucaipa is also subject to intense local storms. Floodwaters from the upper reaches of the mountains converge in Yucaipa's waterways, creating the potential for flooding and safety hazards.
During the late 1960s, Yucaipa storms caused widespread damage to roads, homes, utilities, and property. Since then, the City has completed multimillion -dollar projects to protect the community from flooding. Although channel improvements have significantly reduced the occurrence and severity of flooding, storms continue to cause local flooding. Recent flooding events include:
+ 2011 January Flash Flood/Mudslides
+ 2010 January Flash Flood/Mudslides
+ 2005 August Flash Flood
+ 2002 November Flash Flood
+ 1999 August Flash Flood
+ 1995 January Storm
+ 1993 February Storm
+ 1992 Winter Storms
To prevent and control flooding, Yucaipa and the San Bernardino County Flood Control District manage a network of channels, detention basins, and other flood control infrastructure. More than 28 miles of drainage infrastructure, a dozen detention basins, and natural streams divert floodwaters and recharge groundwater. Additional facilities and flood protection infrastructure are planned. Figure S-2a, Drainage and Recharge Facilities, shows areas capable of accommodating floodwaters and groundwater recharge.
The 2010 flash floods damaged roadways

p
The 2010 storms flooded low water
crossings and created safety hazards.
Flood Hazards
Because of Yucaipa's steep terrain and seasonal storm events, the community is subject to a wide range of flooding hazards. The predominant flooding hazards are riverine flooding, mudflows, dam inundation, and urban flooding. These flooding hazards are described below and mapped on subsequent pages.
Riverine Floods
Riverine flooding is the most prevalent flood hazard in Yucaipa and the source for the most devastating floods in the city. Yucaipa has many fluctuating waterways —Yucaipa Creek, Oak Glen Creek, Wildwood Creek, Chicken Springs Wash, and Spoor Creek. Although generally dry, these creeks can quickly accumulate water during storm events, as intense rainfall at higher elevations in the Yucaipa Ridge or Crafton Hills converges downstream in Yucaipa. These floods can overflow channels or adjacent floodways, quickly creating hazardous conditions for residents and motorists.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for identifying flood hazards for communities across the nation. FEMA prepares maps that delineate Special Flood Hazard Areas -a 100-year and 500-year flood event. A 100-year flood is a flood event that has a 1% probability of occurring in any given year; a 500-year flood has
0.2% probability of occurring in any given year. The California Department of Water Resources also has identified areas prone to a 100-year flood using approximate assessment procedures, without specific depths and other flood hazard data. These maps are not FEMA regulatory floodplain maps.
Mudflow/Debris Flow
A mud/debris flow refers to a moving mass of loose mud, sand, soil, rock, water, and air that travels down a slope under the influence of gravity. A mud/debris flow can also flow down a stream, ravine, canyon, arroyo, or gulch. These flows develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground during heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, changing loose earth into a flowing river of mud. Mud/debris flows can travel miles from the source, growing as they pick up trees, boulders, cars, and other materials.
Generally, areas most susceptible to mud/debris flow include steep slopes, landforms subject to erosion, and river channels. In areas burned by forest and brush fires, a lower threshold of rainfall may trigger mud/debris flows. In the past few decades, Yucaipa has experienced many smaller mud/debris flows and landslides along the Crafton Hills, northern Yucaipa, the Yucaipa Hills, and Oak Glen area that have damaged structures and roads. Planning for these situations is an essential post -fire recovery operation.

Dam Inundation
Yucaipa has four open reservoirs. Built in 1978, three reservoirs are located in Yucaipa Regional Park and serve recreational purposes.
These dams are owned and operated by the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District. The fourth reservoir is located in Crafton Hills, above the Yucaipa Regional Park. Originally built in 2001, the Crafton Hills Dam was improved in 2013, and the reservoir was tripled in size in 2014. An intertie along Mills Creek diverts water from the State Water Project to fill the expanded Crafton Reservoir.
Dam inundation refers to flooding when water retention structures and dams fail during an earthquake or other emergency. In the event of an earthquake or other catastrophic event, these reservoirs present a remote risk of failure or breach. In that event, floodwaters would extend southward along Oak Glen Road, potentially affecting 50 homes in Chapman Heights. To mitigate this hazard, dams are required to pass safety standards and annual inspections by the California Department of Water Resources.
The City of Yucaipa has additional closed reservoirs (either above or below grade) that are owned, operated, and maintained by the Yucaipa Valley Water District, Western Heights Water Company, and South Mesa Water Company. During a significant natural disaster, these reservoirs could fail and lead to localized inundation, although to a significantly lesser degree than dams. Water districts are required to ensure that closed reservoirs are built, maintained, and retrofitted in accordance with state safety standards.
Urban Flooding
Urban flooding refers to the built environment of the city. Although Yucaipa's flood control and drainage infrastructure direct the majority of floodwaters, flooding during intense storms is inevitable due to the volume of water draining from the mountains. Moving debris can quickly overwhelm or impede well -designed channels and basins, spilling onto streets and property. Typically, storm drains are designed for normal rainfall and provide protection from a normal storm event.
However, when larger storms occur or storm drains are blocked, flooding may occur.
Several areas in Yucaipa are more susceptible to urban flooding. In particular, Dunlap Acres and areas below the confluence at Yucaipa Creek and Wildwood Creek are subject to flooding. Areas where roads decline below grade (low water crossings) or where limited infrastructure is in place are also susceptible to flooding. The City continues to invest in flood control projects (detention basins, storm drains, streets, and sidewalks, etc.) to reduce flood risks. However, due to Yucaipa's unique topography and built environment, urban flooding remains a concern in Yucaipa.
7. PUBLIC SAFETY
Yucaipa continues to prioritize flood
control projects to reduce potential
flooding hazards. The $6.1 million
Oak Glen Creek Basin Project, $7.2
million Wildwood Creek Basin
Project, and other projects have
significantly reduced flooding
hazards in Dunlap Acres and other
areas of the community.
Completion of the Oak Glen Creek Basins
resulted in lifting floodplain restrictions for
most properties in Dunlap Acres.

7: PUBLIC SAFETY DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
Protecting Our Community
Yucaipa protects the community from flooding hazards through the identification of hazards, enforcement of building codes and development standards, implementation of a master plan of drainage and capital improvements, and participation in mutual aid agreements, described below.
Hazard Identification
Yucaipa's Municipal Code has a Floodplain Safety Overlay District that corresponds to FEMA 100-year and 500-year floodplains. These are included on these flood zone boundaries. The Floodplain Safety Overlay District Map identifies areas within Yucaipa needing additional protection from flooding hazards. Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP 1) includes areas subject to a 100-year flood. Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP2) includes all areas between limits of the 100-year flood and subject to a 500-year flood.
Building Codes and Development Standards
Proposed development projects within the Floodplain Safety Overlay District must be designed to meet applicable California building codes and required amendments. Additional mitigation measures for flood hazards may be required, including structure anchoring, construction materials and methods, utility standards, and others as required by the Floodplain Safety Overlay District. Projects must also comply with requirements of the National Flood Insurance Protection Floodplain Management program.
Master Plan of Drainage
The City continuously works on flood control projects to remove properties from delineated floodplains/ floodways and works with FEMA to make map revisions in accordance with federal law. Yucaipa's Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) and the City' capital improvement program outlines planned improvements to flood control
infrastructure— including detention basins, desilting basins, flood channel stabilization, and improvements to drainage facilities and infrastructure needed to provide protection from flooding events.
MPD projects are consistent with the Hazard Mitigation Plan and Yucaipa's annual Capital Improvement Program.
Mutual Aid Agreements
Yucaipa maintains mutual aid agreements that provide for voluntary cooperative efforts and provision of services from other agencies when local capabilities are exceeded during an emergency. Yucaipa has mutual aid agreements with adjacent jurisdictions, San Bernardino County Flood Control District, Yucaipa Valley Water District, the State of California, federal agencies, Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District, and American Red Cross, etc. The California Emergency Management Agency also provides coordination and funding to local disaster areas.

FIRE SAFETY
Yucaipa is subject to a range of urban fire hazards due to its built environment —its buildings, roads, and adjacency to other cities.
Yucaipa's dry weather conditions, topography, high winds, and vegetation also place the city at a very high risk of wildfire. Left uncontrolled, fires have the potential to damage or destroy structures, roadways, and utility systems and disrupt the economy.
Fire Hazard Setting
Yucaipa's fire hazard responsibilities include response to urban fires, wildland fires, and emergency medical response.
Urban Fire
Yucaipa's built environment has a medium to low fire hazard.
Developed areas include some apartments, offices, mercantile, and industrial occupancies not normally requiring extensive rescue. Lower - hazard occupancies include a one-, two- or three-family dwellings, scattered small business, and industrial occupancies. Each year, Yucaipa averages 350 fires, including 100 vegetation fires, 100 structure fires, 75 vehicle fires, and 75 miscellaneous fires. Most urban fires can be extinguished within a few hours.
Yucaipa's fire service responsibilities extend beyond firefighting suppression to include a range of paramedic and lifeline services.
Approximately 70% of CAL FIRE calls (more than 7,000 calls annually) are for medical services. The Fire Department also responds to about 500 traffic collisions each year. Because of Yucaipa's demographics and the nature of fire service calls, the provision of licensed paramedics trained in advanced life support during emergencies has become increasingly important.
Yucaipa Fire maintains aid agreements with surrounding agencies to provide assistance during and after a fire emergency. Automatic aid agreements are in place with the City of Redlands Fire Department and Riverside County Fire Department. Yucaipa Fire maintains mutual aid agreements with the US Forest Service for wildland areas north and east of Yucaipa. Mutual and automatic aid agreements are also in place with the San Bernardino County Fire Department. Yucaipa Fire also maintains a cooperative agreement with the San Bernardino County Fire Department.
The Insurance Service Office (ISO) is a leading source of information about property casualty insurance risk for local government. ISO helps establish fire insurance premiums for residential and commercial properties based in part on a city's fire protection. ISO rankings are based on four criteria: a community's emergency communications, fire department equipment and operations, and water supply. ISO rates each community's fire suppression system on a 10-point scale, with one (1) being the highest ranking that can be achieved. Yucaipa maintains a Class 3 ISO rating.

Wildland Fire
Wildland fire is a critical concern in Yucaipa. Expansive open areas are susceptible to destructive wildland fires, which can be exacerbated by dry weather and Santa Ana winds. The National Fire Plan designates Yucaipa as a "community at risk" of high wildland fire hazard (CAL FIRE 2014). Vegetation fuel types in the City include annual grasses and a variety of brush with low fuel moisture that are highly susceptible to and capable of carrying fire.
Since 2000, the City of Yucaipa has experienced many wildland fires due to a natural causes, human error, and arson. Over the past decade, all of the notable fires have occurred in hillsides surrounding Yucaipa. According to CAL FIRE, USFS, and USGS, notable fires include:
+ 2015 Mill 2 Fire burned 35 acres
+ 2013 Mentone/Yucaipa Fire burned 534 acres
+ 2011 Mill Fire burned 100 acres
+ 2009 Pendleton Fire burned 860 acres
+ 2009 Oak Glen Fire burned 1,015 acres
+ 2009 Crafton Hills Fire burned 350 acres
+ 2007 Yucaipa Ridge Fire burned 280 acres
+ 2007 Jefferson Fire burned 125 acres
Responsibility for wildland fire prevention and suppression includes the city, state, and federal government. The federal government has the primary responsibility in Wildwood Canyon, Yucaipa Hills, and National Forest. These "federal responsibility areas" (FRA) total 8% of the acreage within the City and sphere of influence. Areas where the State of California has primary responsibility (called "State Responsibility Areas" or "SRA") comprise 17%, primarily in the Crafton Hills and El Dorado Ranch Park. Local responsibility areas comprise most of the developed areas in Yucaipa.
According to CAL FIRE, half of the City of Yucaipa is designated as a vVery 4High fFire Hazard sSeverity Zone (VHFHZS) based on fuel, terrain, and weather. These lands are characterized by fire -prone land cover —primarily valley grasslands, mixed chaparral, and shrub communities. Significant residential growth is planned over the buildout of Yucaipa; however, only 3,500 units will be located in a VHFHZS 11i=-=_. Of those total units, only a fraction is permitted within SRA lands (^200 units) or within FRA lands (-150 units), which are protected by CAL FIRE and the US Forest Service, respectively. - The City of Yucaipa designated fire -prone areas with a fire safety overlay district. Figure 5-3, Fire Safety Overlay District, designates these areas as FR-1 (vVery hHigh fFire Hazard &Severity =Zones) an1J FR-2, which are lands vulnerable to fire due to proximity to FR-1 areas.

CAL FIRE provides fire service protection for Yucaipa in accordance with its Unit Fire Plan and service contract covering the entire city and surrounding State Responsibility Area. The following section describes CAL FIRE services, City requirements for adequate infrastructure, and municipal code requirements for land uses citywide and in the fire service overlay districts.
Fire Stations
CAL FIRE provides fire suppression and paramedic services for Yucaipa in accordance with its Unit Plan and service contract. CAL Fire provides services from three permanent local stations and one reserve station in Oak Glen (volunteer staffed). Table 1 shows Yucaipa's fire stations locations, equipment, and staffing.

Yucaipa has opted for the CAL FIRE staffing of 3-person crews, plus an assigned Fire Captain at all times on each engine. Through agreements with cooperating fire departments and assigned Yucaipa fire engines, CAL FIRE makes available a total of 4 to 5 fire engines plus a chief officer on a standard structure fire response depending on the reported type of structure, for a total complement of 13 to 16 personnel. Staff arriving at an incident is paramedic qualified and can provide advanced life support services.
Yucaipa Fire strives to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for responding to fire and other emergencies. NFPA recommends that first responders arrive at the fire scene in five minutes or less at least 90% of the time. Response time is measured from the time of the 911 call to arrival at the scene. Yucaipa Fire currently averages about five minutes to all parts of the city, including the Wildwood Canyon and Oak Glen areas.
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

Note: The City requires new projects in undersupplied areas to provide fire sprinkler ystems and adequately sized on -site reservoirs to provide fire flow requirements Yucaipa's water system (water lines, tanks, pump stations, etc.) is sized to handle the highest demand on the system. This is calculated assuming a worst -case scenario for the fire hydrant farthest from the connection to the distribution system, at the highest elevation, assuming the supply reservoir is half full. Water pipes are sized to allow a maximum daily flow plus fire flow that provides a residual pressure of 20 psi (pounds per square inch) and maximum velocity of 10 fps (feet per second) system wide.
Yucaipa's water system provides adequate water supply, although some areas may comply with lower standards in effect at that time.
CAL FIRE maintains fire pre -plans (included in each assigned fire engine) that address water shortages, building types/construction types, water sources, and other features of the area in question.
When a response is initiated in these areas, the Incident Commander can request additional water resources (e.g., water tenders, mutual aid, aerial support, etc.) as needed.
Water supplies can be interrupted or curtailed due to drought, fire, earthquake (which damage facilities and infrastructure), or power failure. In case of emergency, YVWD maintains backup generators for critical infrastructure to avoid supply interruptions. YVWD can maintain or supplement water supplies through interties with adjacent water companies or standby production wells. Critical facilities are compliant with state seismic safety standards.
In cases of extended -attack fires or wildland fires, CAL FIRE uses a triage of strategies. CAL FIRE maintains emergency land use agreements with the County and Yucaipa Valley Water District to draw water from Yucaipa Reservoir, Crafton Hills Reservoir, and Yucaipa Regional Park. Water tenders are used to transport water to a fire when hydrants or other supplies are not near the fire. Cooperative agreements with other agencies are also employed.

Fire Access Standards
Yucaipa's has adopted the California Fire Code (CFC) with amendments to address local fire hazard concerns. Specific requirements for fire access include:
+ Roadway Design. Access roads and public and private streets shall not exceed a 12% grade, be capable of supporting 75,000 pounds, and built with all-weather driving capabilities + Subdivision Access. Subdivisions must have two points cif vehicular ingress and egress from streets, one of which may be used for emergency purposes only.
+ Road widths. Roads shall be at least 24 feet wide citywide and allow for 2-way traffic and 26 feet in FR1 areas; emergency vehicle access only is required to have a 20-foot minimum. + Bridge Design. Per the California Fire Code, access bridges meelt nationally recognized design standards, including a capability of supporting 75,000 pounds.
+ Project Perimeter. Projects must provide adequate vehicular access for firefighting vehicles to the perimeter of a project that is adjacent to a fuel modified area or fire hazard area.
Vegetation Management
The Yucaipa Municipal Code incorporated the latest 2013 CFC an appendices, and amended it to address vegetation management. Ne structures in areas containing combustible vegetation must secure fuel modification plan approved by the Fire Official. The plan mu t address water supply, access, building ignition and fire resistance, fir protection systems and equipment, defensible space, and vegetation management consistent with the CFC's "Requirements for Wildland- Urban Interface Fire Areas."
In accordance with the California Public Resources Code, properties upon or adjoining hazardous fire areas must maintain a 100-foot defensible space around structures, with most intensive fuel management within the first 30 feet around the structure. Electrical transmission lines must have at least 10-foot clearances. To facilitate emergency access and evacuation, 10-foot clearances are required along each side of portions of highways and private streets that are improved, designed, or ordinarily used for vehicles.
Additional vegetation management strategies are employed in state and federal responsibility areas. The United States Forest Service, CAL FIRE, and San Bernardino National Forest maintain a system of fuelbreaks to protect Yucaipa from wildfires. Fuelbreaks are listed in the Oak Glen/Banning Hazardous Fuel Reduction Project and the Inyo- Mono-San Bernardino Unit Fire plans. Fuelbreaks are located below Yucaipa Ridge, the interface of Yucaipa Hills and Oak Glen, Crafton Hills, and Wildwood Canyon.

Building, Development, and Signage Regulations
Yucaipa has adopted the latest edition of the California Fire Code, with all appendices, and amended it to address local concerns. The Fire Marshall reviews plans for structures and buildings citywide, including fire -prone areas. Checklists are used to address fire code requirements, including but not limited to: street and building signage, water supply, water infrastructure, sprinkler requirements, building requirements (sprinklers, smoke detectors, roofing, etc.), access roads, and vegetation management among others.
The City enforces uniform building address and street sign letters.
Street sign letters must be at least 4" in height and 3/8" in width. As required by the Fire Code, addresses for single-family structures shall be 4" in height, 3/8" in width, on contrasting backgrounds, and plainly visible and legible from an access roadway or the street. Commercial and multi -family projects shall have numbers of 8" in height and 1/2"in width, and on contrasting background. Industrial address letters must be 12" in height andl" in width.
Hazardous Materials
Yucaipa Fire is responsible for inspecting facilities that handle hazardous materials, generate or treat hazardous waste, and/or operate an underground storage tank. Yucaipa Fire also responds to situations where local traffic accidents lead to a spillage of hazardous materials. Additional governmental agencies help protect Yucaipans from hazardous waste and materials. As the certified unified public agency (CUPA), the County of San Bernardino Fire Department implements the hazardous waste and materials standards for Yucaipa.
This program covers seven areas.
+ Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) Program
+ Area Plans for Hazardous Materials Emergencies
+ California Accidental Release Prevention (CalARP) Program + Hazardous Materials Release Response Plans and Inventories + Hazardous Material Management Plan (HMMP)
+ Hazardous Waste Generator Program
+ Onsite Waste Treatment Program
+ Underground Storage Tank Program
While Yucaipa does not have large hazardous waste generators or facilities typical for cities, other facilities present key fire hazards.
Southern California Gas Company operates a high-pressure gas transmission and distribution pipeline that extends along Interstate 10 and then northward along the western portion of the city and the southernmost section of the community north of the 1-10. If this high- pressure gas distribution line ruptured during an earthquake, the released gas could result in a significant fire.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Management of emergencies and disasters consists of: 1) event preparedness; 2) response during or soon after the event; (3) post - event recovery; and 4) hazard mitigation. To accomplish these phases requires quick, dynamic, and effective response from multiple entities.
This requires preparation by public agencies, neighborhoods, businesses, and families.
Planning For Disasters
Yucaipa Fire Department, Police Department, and the public safety management within the Deputy —City Manager's office coordinate emergency preparedness planning, response, and recovery efforts.
These include:
Preparedness
Yucaipa adheres to the National Incident Management System (NIMS) for emergency preparedness. NIMS is a systematic approach for government, nongovernmental organizations, critical infrastructure owners and operators, and the private sector to work together to manage threats and hazards. The NIMS provides a comprehensive and standardized incident management system for agencies that are involved in emergency management and/or incident response. The City of Yucaipa is NIMS-compliant as articulated in its Emergency Operation Plan and therefore eligible for federal preparedness grants and award.
Response Phase
Yucaipa follows the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) to structure its response phase of emergency management.
Adopted by California, SEMS unifies all elements of emergency management into a single integrated and standardized system. SEMS incorporates an incident command system, field -level emergency response system, multi/inter-agency coordination, mutual aid, and operational area concept. Yucaipa is SEMS-compliant and therefore eligible for reimbursement of response -related costs under state disaster assistance programs.
Recovery/Prevention
Yucaipa coordinates and manages recovery/prevention activities following emergencies/disasters through the City Manager and the Emergency Services Coordinator. City staff may also assist in facilitating and leading the recovery process. For declared emergencies, City staff complete a detailed damage/safety assessment that is forwarded to County OES for inclusion in the County's IDE report. After -Action Reports will identify corrective Communit

253
actions and make recommendations for correcting problems noted in the response/recovery effort, or during exercises and training.
The City's Emergency Operations Plan and Hazard Mitigation Plan provide additional information on these and other topics.
Protection and Preservation of Public Facilities, Critical Infrastructure, and Lifeline Services
Disaster planning and recovery depend on a reliable network of public facilities, critical infrastructure, and lifeline services. Public facilities include police and fire stations, schools, community centers, and emergency operations and communication centers. Critical infrastructure includes generators, water and sewer lines, utilities, transportation routes, etc. Lifeline services critical to health and safety include water, sewer, energy, waste disposal, communications, and others. Figure 5-4, Critical Facilities and Infrastructure, identifies critical facilities and infrastructure.
Emergency preparedness extends beyond construction activities to planning in system redundancies so that a single event (e.g., power failure or road failure) does not prevent the provision of essential services, such as paramedics, water supply, or other service. California law mandates that buildings, bridges, and infrastructure be built in accordance with state and federal building standards to protect from flooding, earthquakes, fire, and other disasters. The City periodically upgrades facilities in accordance with the above.
Evacuation Routes
With its location in the foothills and near wildlands, Yucaipa is subject to natural hazards. These include 100-year floodplains, active faults and geological hazards, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zonevery his fire severity zones, and other natural hazards. During an emergent , evacuation routes are needed to move people to safe locations and move equipment to affected hazard areas. Yucaipa has three levels of evacuation routes, depending on the emergency.
+ Local Routes. Eight arterials (Bryant, Oak Glen, Yucaipa, 10 Street, Wildwood Canyon, County Line, Calimesa Boulevard, and Mesa Grande) are designated as evacuation routes.
+ Regional Routes. The San Bernardino County General Plan has designated Oak Glen Road as the primary regional evacuation routes for the Oak Glen Mountain community.
+ Federal and State Routes. Interstate 10 is the primary federal evacuation route while Highway 38 is the primary state - designated evacuation route from the mountain communities.
The precise evacuation route to use during an emergency depends on many factors, including the type of natural disaster, location of incident, weather conditions, road conditions, and traffic volume.
Figure 5-5, Evacuation Routes in Yucaipa, identifies the local, regional, and state/federal evacuation routes in the city.

SEVERE WEATHER
Typically, communities focus public safety programs on addressing community -wide hazards such as earthquakes, fire, flooding, and other hazards that have a widespread impact and cost. However, severe weather conditions can also cause substantial damage to property and infrastructure and result in injuries and loss of life.
Yucaipa recognizes that the frequency of severe weather in the community makes it a public safety concern for residents.
Weather Hazards
According to the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan, Yucaipa is generally susceptible to high winds, extreme heat, torrential rain and lightning, and occasional snow or freezes.
High Winds
Yucaipa's location at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains makes it susceptible to straight-line winds that can exceed 100 miles per hour, knocking down trees and power lines and disrupting utility service. From October through February, Yucaipa also experiences warm and dry Santa Ana winds that descend from the high desert and can reach speeds of 100 miles per hour. The most significant hazard from high winds is an increased wildfire danger, but winds can down trees and power lines, damage property, and create hazards for aircraft. Every year, Yucaipa experiences numerous high wind events.
Extreme Heat
Yucaipa is known for exceptionally dry and hot weather, particularly during summer when maximum temperatures often exceed 100 degrees. Extreme heat becomes a broader health hazard when it either affects residents (due to the potential for heat -related illness) or results in electric power outages. Periodic extreme heat events in San Bernardino County influence the ability of utilities to provide electric service. Although formal stage alerts causing service interruption have not occurred frequently in several years, load warnings and voluntary reductions have occurred.
Rainfall and Freezing Weather
Due to elevation and topography, Yucaipa experiences more intense storms than other cities. Thunderstorms from July through September can create lightning strikes, erratic high winds, and torrential rains.
Yucaipa's elevation also results in seasonal freezing weather and one to four inches of snow each year. Normal rainfall and snow events rarely lead to significant safety hazards. However, freezing conditions can lead to slippery roads and a higher risk of automobile accidents.
Freezing weather, when coupled with power outages, can also leave residents unable to heat homes.
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
261
Protecting Our Community
The lead agency responsible for addressing severe weather events and the impacts on the Yucaipa community is incident specific. Utility companies are responsible for service disruption from downed power lines or heat events. The fire department is responsible for wind - driven fires and provides sandbags to protect against rainfall and mudslides. The public works department is responsible for clearing downed trees that block streets. The police department would direct traffic in cases of downed or malfunctioning signals.
GOAL S-5: SEVERE WEATHER
Minimize the impacts of severe weather conditions on
residents, businesses, and visitors.
Policies
S-5.1 Wind Protective Features. Promote the installation of protective wind barriers on homes and buildings, such as vegetation walls, glass panel windscreens, roof clips,
hedges, or rows of trees.
5-5.2 Public Trees and Vegetation. Maintain trees and
vegetation in public rights -of -way and close to critical facilities (e.g., police, fire, hospital facilities) and utility lines to lessen tree failure and property damage risks. 5-5.3 Signage. Require all signage and moving structures susceptible to high wind damage to be tied down
appropriately, or brought down or covered when high
wind alerts are in effect.
S-5.4 Roadway Closures. Close down non -essential roadways and redirect traffic onto other routes during
thunderstorms, torrential rain, or snow/freezing
conditions where warranted to protect the public.
S-5.5 Cooling Centers. Designate public buildings or specific private buildings with air conditioning as public cooling shelters; extend hours at air-conditioned sites during
periods of extreme heat and power outage.
S-5.6 Storms. Continue to provide access to flood protection resources and services (signage, sandbags, etc.) as
feasible at designated public facilities during and after extreme weather events.
S-5.7 Public Education. Educate the community about the importance of regular tree maintenance near structures
and power lines to minimize risk of downed trees,
branches, and power lines during windstorms.

Interstate 10 is the primary source of noise
and vibration in southwest Yucaipa.
7-40 I CITY OF YUCAIPA GENERAL PLAN
NOISE AND VIBRATION
Noise is defined as unwanted sound. From the rumbling of trucks on the roadways to the whine of leaf blowers on a quiet morning, noise and vibration can interrupt our conversations, thoughts, and leisure.
Many excessive sources of noise (e.g., freeways) are also often accompanied by vibration. Noise and vibration sensitivity varies throughout the day or evening, at different locations, and among receptors. Despite these variations, most people agree that noise and vibration adversely affect health and well-being.
Unlike most cities in southern California, Yucaipa is far from many urban noise sources —airports, railroads, and heavy industry. Yet Yucaipa's noise and vibration environment still varies throughout the community. While the North Bench and Wildwood Canyon have more localized noise sources, commercial centers or business districts experience higher levels of noise from business, roads, and traffic.
Interstate 10 is the largest source of noise and vibration, the contours of which extend for some distance from the freeway.
Measuring Noise and Vibration
Noise is a complex subject and can be measured in different ways.
Noise is measured by an A -weighted sound pressure level, or dBA, which accounts for sound pressure level, the pitch of sound, and the way the human ear responds to both pressure and pitch. CNEL is the average sound level over a 24-hour period, with a penalty of 5 dB added from 7 pm to 10 pm and a penalty of 10 dB added for the hours of 10 pm to 7 am. Details on noise fundamentals are found in the noise study conducted for the General Plan update.
Vibration is an oscillatory motion through a solid medium in which the motion's amplitude can be described in terms of displacement, velocity, or acceleration. Vibration is normally associated with activities such as railroads or vibration -intensive stationary sources, but can also be associated with construction equipment such as jackhammers, pile drivers, and hydraulic hammers. Heavy trucks can also generate significant levels of ground borne vibrations. Potholes, pavement joints, and uneven pavement surfaces can increase the vibration from passing vehicles.
Noise and vibration levels do not affect all land uses or people equally.
Certain land uses are more sensitive to levels of noise and vibration.
For example, residential, school, health care facilities, and open space/recreation areas (where quiet environments are necessary for enjoyment, health, and safety) are more sensitive to noise. Generally, commercial and industrial uses are not considered noise- and vibration -sensitive uses unless the interior level of noise and vibration exceeds state or federal occupational standards.
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
263
Land Use Planning and Compatibility
Yucaipa is responsible for protecting residents and visitors from unacceptable noise and vibration. Table S-3 shows that the City requires specific land uses to achieve an interior noise level of 45-50 dBA and exterior noise level of 60-65 dBA depending on land use.
When non_transportation sources are the primary noise source, thk City also uses hourly standards. These standards are intended to ensure that land uses within Yucaipa are compatible and do not detract from quality of life due to unacceptable levels of noise.

Under the municipal code, no ground vibration is allowed which can be felt without the aid of instruments at or beyond the lot line, or which produces a particle velocity greater than or equal to two -tenths (0.2) inch per second measured at or beyond the lot line. Construction activities are generally exempt during working days.
Future Noise Levels
Yucaipa's predominant source of noise levels is transportation related.
Based on noise measurements, projected noise levels were identified and calculated at buildout of the general plan and then compared with City standards to determine the most noise -impacted areas. Areas having an average day -night sound level (Ldn) of 60 dBA (if residential) or 65 dBA or greater (less sensitive uses) were identified. Figure 5-6, Noise Hazard Overlay District, shows the greatest future sources of noise will be roadways:

DRAFT 2024 UPDATE
Protecting Our Community
The state and federal government regulate sources of noise from transportation sources or the workplace. Therefore, the City works to control noise through the following programs and policies.
Noise Insulation Standards
Yucaipa enforces State of California Noise Insulation Standards (California Administrative Code, Title 24) and Chapter 35 of the Uniform Building Code. These regulations specify that acoustical studies must be prepared for all new multiple -family projects, condominiums, hotels, and motels proposed for areas within the 60 CNEL contour. In accordance with noise insulation standards, project applicants must demonstrate that building design features can reduce interior noise levels to 45 CNEL or better.
Noise Ordinance and Vibration Standards
The municipal code gives the City authority to regulate noise at its source (except transportation sources), protect noise -sensitive land uses, and regulate the level of vibration. The municipal code also specifies permitted periods for construction and grading activities to exceed specified noise thresholds, vibration thresholds, and exemptions where applicable. Construction activities typically have some level of exemption during working hours. These standards are also applicable to nontransportation sources of noise and vibration and periodic nuisances within the community.
Noise Overlay District
Yucaipa applies a noise hazard overlay district to areas where the Ldn is 65 dBA CNEL or greater. For new projects, the 60-dBA CNEL contour represents areas in which proposed noise sensitive land use should be evaluated. Projects should strive to meet the 60-dBA CNEL noise standard. An exterior noise level of up to 65 dBA CNEL will be allowed for new projects, provided exterior noise levels have been substantially mitigated through the reasonable application of the best available noise reduction technology and interior noise exposure does not exceed 45 dBA with windows and doors closed.
Land Use Planning
To ensure land use compatibility, City programs focus on reducing noise and vibration levels by shielding the receiver, thus interrupting the path of noise and vibration. This is achieved by three means: 1) proactive land use planning that separates potentially incompatible uses; 2) building design and site planning; and 3) reducing noise and vibration from the freeway and roadways through appropriate barriers (e.g., walls, landscaping, berms, and other appropriate techniques).
Sounds walls should be the last resort after all other practical design - related noise and vibration reduction measures have been undertaken.

AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
Recent years have seen increasing awareness of how human activities affect the environment. Industrial activities, transportation, and other activities primarily using fossil fuels are known to release pollutants, carbon dioxide, and other gases into the atmosphere. The cumulative effect of these activities has been twofold: air pollution and a global "greenhouse" effect.
Air Quality
Air pollution has long been a health concern in Southern California.
Smog is the term used to describe air pollutants, including ground - level ozone (smog's main ingredient), particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide. When released to the air, these gases react with each other in sunlight to produce smog. Ocean breezes then sweep the smog inland, where warmer air traps the smog close to the ground where people live and breathe.
San Bernardino County has long experienced poor air quality. Just 25 years ago, 60% of all days in San Bernardino County had unhealthful air quality in 1990. Since then, stringent regulations implemented by the South Coast Air Quality Management District and technological advances have led to significant improvements in air quality. In 2015, only 30% of the days each year in San Bernardino County have unhealthful air quality.
Southern California is now in compliance with state and federal standards for many criteria pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2, and lead (Pb). However, the region continues to be in severe and/or extreme nonattainment status for particulate matter (PMio and PMz.$), and ozone (03). The City's primary source of air pollution is ozone (03), while other areas in the County also have high levels of particulate matter.
Even at today's levels, poor air quality continues to affect health.
Breathing ozone can trigger chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and congestion. It can worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma.
Ground -level ozone also can reduce lung function, inflame lung linings, and even permanently scar lung tissue. Ozone is also known to affect sensitive vegetation and ecosystems, including forests, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas.
Several regulatory agencies are involved in improving air quality. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is responsible for assuring that the ambient air quality standards are attained and is responsible for promulgating regulations for stationary sources. The California Air Resources Board focuses its air pollution activities on air pollution emanating from transportation sources —vehicles, trucks, railroads, and marine vessels. The federal Environmental Protection Agency regulates airplane emissions.
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda
269
Climate Change
Just as air pollution adversely affects health, it also affects climate. The Earth's temperature depends on a balance between incoming energy from the sun, and outgoing energy that is radiated to space as heat.
Atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other gases trap energy and prevent heat from escaping into the atmosphere. The cumulative impact of millions of GHG-generating activities affects this balance.
The reduction in the release of heat back into the atmosphere has been credited with global warming. The consequences of climate change are hard to predict. Globally, impacts could include warmer temperatures, decreasing snow pack, sea level rise, and impacts on water resources, wildlife, habitat, and agricultural production.
However, according to the California EPA, even if actions were taken to significantly curtail GHG emissions, the built-up emissions in the atmosphere would result in some level of climate warming.
The California Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) and the California Global Warming Solutions Act have attempted to address climate change issues in a comprehensive manner. On the federal government level, the courts have ruled that GHGs are a source of pollution that is covered under the Clean Air Act. As such, state and federal statutes have been expanded to cover a diverse set of topics, such as land use and transportation, energy and renewables, water efficiency and conservation, and waste and recycling.
Yucaipa contributes to the production of greenhouse gas emissions in a variety of direct and indirect ways. Like most jurisdictions in southern California, the City of Yucaipa's greenhouse gas emissions are predominantly the result of five activities: building energy usage, on -road transportation sources (e.g., vehicles), off -road equipment, solid waste management, and wastewater and water services.
Consequently, these five areas also represent the best and most productive opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas reductions to meet the City's mandated targets.
SANBAG's Regional Reduction Plan contains a regional assessment of GHG generation and programs for jurisdictions to implement that collectively achieve reductions in regional GHGs. Building off the regional plan, Yucaipa's Climate Action Plan presents the greenhouse gas inventories and sets forth local measures to reduce GHG emissions under the City's jurisdictional control to achieve the City's reduction targets. The CAP is based upon the Regional Reduction Plan, but has been revised to accommodate the growth projections for 2020 from the proposed 2015 General Plan update.

Protecting Our Community
The City of Yucaipa has adopted a number of plans and regulations that attempt to improve air quality in the community, reduce hazards for residents, and address requirements in state and federal law.
These programs are summarized below.
Climate Action Plan
The City of Yucaipa has adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to address requirements under the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The CAP presents the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for Yucaipa, identifies the effectiveness of California, regional, and countywide initiatives to reduce GHG emissions, and concludes with City strategies to achieve GHG targets for Yucaipa. The General Plan Environmental Impact Report contains mitigation measures that are being followed through the duration of the general plan to reduce GHG emissions as required by state law.
Public Nuisance Ordinances
If it is determined during project -level environmental review that a project has the potential to emit nuisance odors beyond the property line, the City has the authority to require odor management plans.
Such facilities could include, but are not limited to wastewater treatment, composting or recycling, painting/coating operations, food processing facilities, and other such businesses. Commercial poultry ranches must also have an approved manure management plan to control odors and associated public nuisances. Odor management plans shall identify best available control technologies to reduce odors.
Land Use Planning
Air pollution is most acute near freeways, industrial areas, diesel truck routes, and busy/congested roadways. As such, CARB recommends that "sensitive land uses" such as residences, care facilities, schools, day-care centers, playgrounds, or medical facilities not be located near major sources of pollution. The General Plan provides policies to avoid placing sensitive land uses near sources of air pollution without the preparation of a health risk assessment (HRA). Similarly, qualified polluting industries that are relocating to or expanding must also prepare required HRA prior to approval of local permits.
The following goal and policies are intended to support local and regional goals to improve air quality and mitigate climate change. 7-48 I CITY OF YUCAIPA GENERAL PLAN
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

SAFETY PROGRAMS
In accordance with Section 65302 of the Government Code, this section outlines feasible implementation actions that Yucaipa will undertake to achieve the goals, policies, and objectives in the Safety Element. Table 5-3 provides a summary of the objectives, timeframes, and implementation measures.
1. Drainage Master Plan
Historically, Yucaipa has been subject to intense flooding that has resulted in personal and economic damages in the community. In 1993, Yucaipa completed and adopted a master drainage plan (MPD) that specified $90 million worth of improvements to its stormwater facilities, including spillover detention and desilting basins. Yucaipa's MPD assesses planned improvements to flood control channels and detention basins; desilting basins; flood channel stabilization; and improvements to drainage facilities and infrastructure needed to provide protection from flooding events.
Action. Continue to implement projects identified in the Master Plan of Drainage; amend plan as needed to maintain accuracy and relevance for flood planning purposes.
2. Flood Plain Safety Overlay District Map
Yucaipa's Floodplain Safety Overlay District identifies areas within the city that need additional protection from flooding hazards. In accordance with FEMA regulations, two flood risks were identified.
Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP 1) includes areas subject to a 100-year flood. Floodplain Review Area 1 (FP 2) includes areas between the 100-year flood and subject to a 500-year flood. These maps are used for planning purposes, including prioritizing capital improvements to reduce flooding risks and requiring enhanced development regulations for properties within a review area.
Action. Continue to update plan as capital improvement projects are completed, risks are identified or modified, or flood insurance rate map revisions are made.
3. Building and Development Standards
The Yucaipa Municipal Code contains enhanced building codes and development standards for projects located within the floodplain.
Enforcement of these codes is a precondition for FEMA to make available flood insurance policies for Yucaipa property owners and businesses. Development projects may be subject to FP 1 or FP 2 regulations, flooding studies, or other mitigation. In certain areas where flood risks have not been defined by FEMA, the City Engineer may require additional studies or mitigation.
Action. Maintain the floodplain management ordinance in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Program and require adherence to the ordinance and state and federal laws.
7-50 I CITY OF YUCAIPA GENERAL PLAN
07/22/2024 City Council Agenda

4. Low Water Crossings
In 1999, the City Council adopted a resolution to prioritize projects that would eliminate low water crossings at several areas as a precondition for applying for federal grant funding to build bridges over the drainage channels and provide "all weather" crossing for traffic. These roads were always closed to traffic during significant storm events. Since then, the City has built bridges or completed "low water crossing replacements" at 5 locations and the City is currently in the design and/or environmental phase for 6 other locations. In 2015, the City Council approved service level options to budget for improvements at the remaining low water crossings.
Action. Continue to implement low water crossing replacement projects identified in the City's capital improvement program and authorizing ordinance.
5. Flood Management Projects
Yucaipa's Master Plan of Drainage is the blueprint for how the City will protect the community from flooding through the construction of infrastructure. The City's Master Plan of Drainage (MPD) provides an assessment of drainage and infrastructure needs and a plan for the construction of detention basins and facilities to protect from flooding hazards. Yucaipa's Master Plan of Drainage is periodically updated, most recently in 2011 and 2008. Needed improvements to the City's drainage system are included in the City's capital improvement program and funded through the annual budget.
Action. Continue the financing and construction of drainage improvements noted in the capital improvements program that are recommended in the Master Plan of Drainage.
6. Flood Infrastructure Maintenance
Yucaipa's extensive network of drainage courses, detention basins, and storm drains requires periodic maintenance to minimize the potential for riverine and urban flooding. The San Bernardino Flood Control District is responsible for maintaining, cleaning, and repairing regional facilities, while the City is responsible for maintaining, cleaning, and repairing all local facilities. The California Department of Water Resources and County Flood Control are responsible for maintaining reservoirs in Yucaipa. To facilitate this maintenance effort, the County operates a master stormwater system maintenance program for regional facilities.
Action. Maintain agreements to ensure proper clearing, maintenance, and repair of stormwater facilities, detention basins, and channels to protect against flooding.

7. Fire Code Amendments
The City has adopted the latest edition of the California Fire Code, with all appendices. The City has also amended the code to address roadway and project access, fuel modification, brush clearance and vegetation management, building signage, and other features.
Additional structural requirements have been added for projects in the fire review overlay district. These codes are generally consistent with regulations in the National Fire Protection Association, Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, Wildland-Urban Interface Code, etc.
However, as conditions in Yucaipa and best practices change over time, a periodic review of City codes is warranted.
Action. Review and revise, if necessary, City fire codes to accommodate applicable regulations of the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, state law, and best practices.
8. Fire Safety Overlay Districts
When Yucaipa incorporated in 1989, City leaders adopted portions of the County's Development Code, including fire safety overlay district requirements that are more stringent than most fire codes. Since then, the FR1 and FR2 overlay district requirements have been amended, but not in a comprehensive manner. Under state law, a city may adopt ordinances, rules, or regulations to provide fire prevention restrictions or regulations that are necessary or more stringent than state law to meet local fire conditions and needs. To implement the updated Safety Element, a comprehensive review of fire safety overlay district regulations is warranted. As part of the development of new Planned Development projects or Specific Plans within the FR1 district, include additional provisions that help improve the fire safety conditions, including the implementation of a fire protection plan.
Action. Review and revise, if necessary, local fire overlay district regulations to accommodate applicable regulations of the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection, state law, and best practices.
9. Water Supply for Wildland Areas
The City, CAL FIRE, and Yucaipa Valley Water District require that adequate water supplies be made available to address the water supply and fire flow needs for new development. However, citywide water supply standards have not been adopted for wildland areas. In wildland areas, CAL FIRE has access to emergency land use agreements, water tenders, and other provisions to supply water where needed. While CAL FIRE has the capability to address fire suppression needs in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zonevery high fire severity zones, the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection recommends that the City review standards (such as water supply standards for wildland areas) for consideration and incorporation.
Action. Review and revise, if necessary, local municipal codes to address water supply standards recommended by the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.

10. Subdivision Map Requirements
As a condition of subdivision map approval, the City requires that: 1) subdivision design shall provide for safe and ready access for fire and other emergency equipment and evacuation routes; 2) the subdivision shall be served by water supplies for fire protection in accordance with designated standards; and 3) in hazardous fire areas, all flammable or combustible vegetation shall be removed from around all structures in accordance with the Fire Code. However, recently adopted codes (Government 66474.02) require additional findings to be made for the approval of a tentative or parcel map in Very High Fire Hazard Severit i Zonevcry high fire severity :ones.
Action. Review and, if necessary, revise Yucaipa Municipal Code to incorporate criteria for tentative and parcel map approvals specified in Government Code 66474.02.
11. Upgrade and Retrofit Program
Yucaipa's structures, streets, water infrastructure, and other features were built in accordance with fire, seismic, flooding, and other safety codes required at that time. The City strives to ensure that public buildings, roads, water infrastructure, and other features are built or retrofitted to meet required safety standards. However, there may be a need to retrofit older structures, buildings and infrastructure outside the purview of City responsibility, such as privately owned mobile homes, buildings, water facilities, and other infrastructure. The City will continue to explore options for grants, loans, and/or other funding mechanisms to address buildings, structures, and facilities needing upgrade.
Action. Continue to upgrade public facilities in compliance with state and federal law. Explore grants, loans, and other mechanisms to encourage the retrofit of privately owned structures, buildings, infrastructure, and other features to meet current safety codes.
12. Hazard Mitigation/Emergency Operations Plan Update
Yucaipa prepares and implements a Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) and Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) to protect the community from disasters. Both plans are updated regularly in accordance with state and federal law. The Safety Element identified potential evacuation routes, depending on the hazard. To address other changing requirements, future updates of the EOP, HMP, and Safety Element will ensure that policies, procedures, and protocols will be mutually supportive and consistent with one another.
Action. Review and, if necessary, revise the HMP and EOP to address protocols, procedures, and mapping for evacuation routes and overlay districts. Update the safety element as required to incorporate climate change and resiliency strategies from the HMP and revisions to the EOP that are made in subsequent updates.

Purpose and Background
Upon the next revision of the housing element on or after January 1, 2014, the safety element is required to be reviewed and updated as necessary to address the risk of fire for land classified as state responsibility areas and land classified as very high fire hazard severity zones. (Gov. Code, § 65302, subd. (g)(3).)
The safety element is required to include:
• Fire hazard severity zone maps available from the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. • Any historical data on wildfires available from local agencies or a reference to where the data can be found.
• Information about wildfire hazard areas that may be available from the United States Geological Survey.
• The general location and distribution of existing and planned uses of land in very high fire hazard severity zones (VHFHSZs) and in state responsibility areas (SRAs), including structures, roads, utilities, and essential public facilities. The location and distribution of planned uses of land shall not require defensible space compliance measures required by state law or local ordinance to occur on publicly owned lands or open space designations of homeowner associations. • The local, state, and federal agencies with responsibility for fire protection, including special districts and local offices of emergency services. (Gov. Code, § 65302, subd. (g)(3)(A).) Based on that information, the safety element shall include goals, policies, and objectives that protect the community from the unreasonable risk of wildfire. (Gov. Code, § 65302, subd. (g)(3)(B).) To carry out those goals, policies, and objectives, feasible implementation measures shall be included in the safety element, which include but are not limited to:
• Avoiding or minimizing the wildfire hazards associated with new uses of land. • Locating, when feasible, new essential public facilities outside of high fire risk areas, including, but not limited to, hospitals and health care facilities, emergency shelters, emergency command centers, and emergency communications facilities, or identifying construction methods or other methods to minimize damage if these facilities are located in the SRA or VHFHSZ. • Designing adequate infrastructure if a new development is located in the SRA or VHFHSZ, including safe access for emergency response vehicles, visible street signs, and water supplies for structural fire suppression.
• Working cooperatively with public agencies with responsibility for fire protection. (Gov. Code, § 65302, subd. (g)(3)(C).)
The safety element shall also attach or reference any fire safety plans or other documents adopted by the city or county that fulfill the goals and objectives or contains the information required above. (Gov.
Code, § 65302, subd. (g)(3)(D).) This might include Local Hazard Mitigation Plans, Unit Fire Plans, Community Wildfire Protection Plans, or other plans.
There are several reference documents developed by state agencies to assist local jurisdictions in updating their safety elements to include wildfire safety. The Fire Hazard Planning, General Plan Technical Advice Series from the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), referenced in Government Code section 65302, subdivision (g)(3) and available at 1400 Tenth Street
Sacramento, CA 95814
Phone: (916) 322-2318
The Technical Advice Series is also available from the OPR website (Technical Advice Series link).* The Technical Advice Series provides policy guidance, information resources, and fire hazard planning examples from around California that shall be considered by local jurisdictions when reviewing the safety element of its general plan.
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board) utilizes this Safety Element Assessment in the Board's review of safety elements under Government Code section 65302.5. At least 90 days prior to the adoption or amendment of their safety element, counties that contain SRAs and cities or counties that contain VHFHSZs shall submit their safety element to the Board. (Gov. Code, § 65302.5, subd. (b).) The Board shall review the safety element and respond to the city or county with its findings regarding the uses of land and policies in SRAs or VHFHSZs that will protect life, property, and natural resources from 1 ovzaizQ2htipsY://www. r Aaenca.gov/docs/Final_6.26.15.pdf RPC 22($4v)
unreasonable risks associated with wildfires, and the methods and strategies for wildfire risk reduction and prevention within SRAs or VHFHSZs. (Gov. Code, § 65302.5, subd. (b)(3).) The CAL FIRE Land Use Planning team provides expert fire protection assistance to local jurisdictions statewide. Fire captains are available to work with cities and counties to revise their safety elements and enhance their strategic fire protection planning.
Methodology for Review and Recommendations
Utilizing staff from the CAL FIRE Land Use Planning team, the Board has established a standardized method to review the safety element of general plans. The methodology includes 1) reviewing the safety element for the requirements in Government Code section 65302, subdivision (g)(3)(A),
2) examining the safety element for goals, policies, objectives, and implementation measures that mitigate the wildfire risk in the planning area (Gov. Code, § 65302, subd. (g)(3)(B) & (C)), and 3) making recommendations for methods and strategies that would reduce the risk of wildfires (Gov.
Code, § 65302.5, subd. (b)(3)(B)).
The safety element will be evaluated against the attached Assessment, which contains questions to determine if a safety element meets the fire safety planning requirements outlined in Government Code, section 65302. The reviewer will answer whether or not a submitted safety element addresses the required information, and will recommend changes to the safety element that will reduce the wildfire risk in the planning area. These recommended changes may come from the list of sample goals, policies, objectives, and implementation measures that is included in this document after the Assessment, or may be based on the reviewer's knowledge of the jurisdiction in question and their specific wildfire risk. By answering the questions in the Assessment, the reviewer will determine if the jurisdiction's safety element has adequately addressed and mitigated their wildfire risk. If it hasn't, any specific recommendations from the reviewer will assist the jurisdiction in revising the safety element so that it does.
Once completed, the Assessment should provide clear guidance to a city or county regarding any areas of deficiency in the safety element as well as specific goals, policies, objectives, and implementation measures the Board recommends adopting in order to mitigate or reduce the wildfire threat in the planning area.

Fire Hazard Planning in Other Elements of the General Plan When updating the General Plan, here are some ways to incorporate fire hazard planning into other elements. Wildfire safety is best accomplished by holistic, strategic fire planning that takes advantage of opportunities to align priorities and implementation measures within and across plans.
LAND USE ELEMENT
Goals and policies include mitigation of fire hazard for future development or limit development in very high fire hazard severity zones.
Disclose wildland urban -interface hazards, including fire hazard severity zones, and/or other vulnerable areas as determined by CAL FIRE or local fire agency.
Design and locate new development to provide adequate infrastructure for the safe ingress of emergency response vehicles and simultaneously allow citizen egress during emergencies.
Describe or map any Firewise Communities or other fire safe communities as determined by the National Fire Protection Association, Fire Safe Council, or other organization.
HOUSING ELEMENT
Incorporation of current fire safe building codes.
Identify and mitigate substandard fire safe housing and neighborhoods relative to fire hazard severity zones.
Consider diverse occupancies and their effects on wildfire protection (group housing, seasonal populations, transit -dependent, etc).
OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION ELEMENTS
Identify critical natural resource values relative to fire hazard severity zones.
Include resource management activities to enhance protection of open space and natural resource values.
Integrate open space into fire safety planning and effectiveness.
Mitigation for unique pest, disease and other forest health issues leading to hazardous situations.
CIRCULATION ELEMENT
Provide adequate access to very high fire hazard severity zones.
Develop standards for evacuation of residential areas in very high fire hazard severity zones.
Incorporate a policy that provides for a fuel reduction maintenance program along roadways. 11 RPC 2 (b)livj
