DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY
lb. Will the proposal result in disruptions, displacements, compaction or overcovering
of this soil? YES, development of the site will-involve excavation and compaction of
the earth. All excavated material will be placed and recompacted within the project
boundary in conformance with all grading regulations of the UBC Chapter 70
(APPENDIX) and the City of Grand Terrace Municipal Code. There will be minor
grading to restructure the natural drainage flow pattern from east to west as it
floods in the middle of the baseball diamond and runs westerly and northerly to a
natural low area and drains towards the west.
3b. Will the proposal result in substantial changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns,
or the rate and amount of surface runoff? NO, the amount of surface runoff is
insignificant.
3c. Will the proposal alter the course or flow of flood waters? Yes, in a positive way.
A straight curb line will speed the flow of water slightly improving the drainage
situation on Pico Avenue.
4.a,c Will the proposal result in changes to the diversity of species or number of native
species or introduce new species of plants into an area of native vegetation? Yes in
a positive manner. There will be a removal of the existing species of native
vegetation, thrush and thistle. The replacement landscaping applicable for the
public park will consist`of hydroseed lawn, trees for shade, shrubs and ground
covering all indigenous to this area and drought tolerant. Landscaping and
irrigation to be properly maintained by the City Parks and Recreation Department
Maintenance.
6.a Will the proposal result in increases in existing noise levels? Yes, there will be an
increase in existing noise level as the site is partially vacant and does not attract
large public gatherings now. The park would draw the public, cars and outdoor
activities but would be properly mitigated by the Noise Ordinance and hours of
operation in conformance with the City Code.
7. Will the proposal produce substantial new light or glare? Yes, the park will require
additional lighting however in conformance with the Zoning Code the lighting shall
be designed to shine away from residential districts and public roadways. The type
of lighting proposed is Musco Lighting which is specially designed for parks and
outside recreational areas. It will be of a Level 8 design which will stop the light
rays at the property lines. These measures are to insure that the lighting will not
impact the residential neighborhood to the east of the proposed park site and across
the street to the south.
8. Will the proposal result in a substantial alteration of the present or planned land use
of an area? Yes, the proposed park site is in the current MR Zone District and
industrial landuse. The proposed zoning and general plan landuse amendment to
PUB, public facilities district, will allow the park site as proposed and be in
conformance with the City of Grand Terrace Municipal Code. The site presently has
a portion used as a ballfield which could have been used as a MR Zoned project.
13.ab Will the proposal affect the existing parking facilities or create a new demand for
parking? Yes, the park will generate additional vehicle movement and will require
a new demand for parking as illustrated in Exhibit A. However, the vehicular
movement may be restricted as parents will carpool for various sports activities,
family and friends gather and being near a neighborhood bicycles and walking will
be increased. Sharing of activities amongst all City parks and control of the hours
of operation will also limit the activity to be within the City Municipal Code.
14b. Will the proposal have substantial effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered
governmental services in the area of Police Protection? No. The project as
conditioned has a special safety condition to create a "pro-active" show of force, and
as it is proposed it will utilize current contractual services in a special program of
surveillance. Additionally, the mitigated measures regarding controlled lighting,
gated and entry fencing to the park, hours of operation and block wall between
residential properties and the park will be positive features as proposed in the
conditions of approval.
14.de Will the proposal have substantial effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered
governmental services in any areas; Parks or other recreational facilities and
maintenance of public facilities including roads? YES, this park will be an
additional City park bringing the total to five. Thus will contain additional
playground and recreational facilities. The maintenance of public facilities including
roads and park grounds will be maintained by the City Maintenance/Parks and
Recreation Department.
19. Will the proposal result in an impact upon the quality or quantity of existing
recreational opportunities? YES, in a positive manner. The proposal will increase
the number of existing recreational opportunities by providing one more park
making a total of 5 parks to the public in the City and surrounding areas.
Yes Maybe No
more separate resources may be
relatively small, but where the
effect of the total of those
impacts on the environment is
significant.)
d. Does the project have
environmental effects which will
cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly V
or indirectly?
Environmental Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that, although the proposed project could have a significant effect on
the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
( mitigation measures described on attached sheets have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,
and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
