❑ Mineral Resources 0 Noise 0 Population/Housing
❑ Public Services 0 Recreation 0 Transportation/Traffic
❑ Utilities/Service Systems 0 Mandatory Findings of Significance
DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
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 revisions in the project have been
made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact"or"potentially
significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment,but at least one effect 1)has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)has
been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached
sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact"answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question. A"No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources
show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g., the project
falls outside a fault rupture zone). A"No Impact"answer should be explained where it is based
on project-specific factors as well as general standards(e.g.,the project will not expose sensitive
receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as
operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur,then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,less than significant
with mitigation, or less than significant."Potentially Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant.If there are one or more"Potentially
Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated"applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"
to a"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,
and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation
measures from Section XVII,or earlier analyses may be cross-referenced).
5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEQA
process,an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section 15063(cX3XD). In this case,a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were
within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards,and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures.For effects that are"Less than Significant with Mitigation
Measures Incorporated,"describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or
refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific
conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources
for potential impacts(e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared
or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where
the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any,used to evaluate each question; and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance

b) Substantially damage scenic resources, 0 0 0 ■
including,but not limited to,trees,rock
outcropping,and historic buildings within a state

character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d)Create a new source of substantial light or 0 0 0 ■
glare which would adversely affect day or
nighttime views in the area?
Brief explanation to answer I:
I a)The limitations in the proposed ordinance on the height, the size of the antenna arrays and number
of antenna structures permitted on one parcel will insure that there will be no"substantial"adverse
effects on a scenic vista.
Finding: Impact less than significant.No mitigation is required.
I b)Minimal land disturbance, if any,would be required to put up a proposed antenna structure.
Therefore,there will be no"substantial"damage to scenic resources. In addition,there are no state
scenic highways within the City of Grand Terrace according to the Caltrans California Scenic
Highway Program.
Finding: No Impact. No mitigation is required.
I c)Again,the limitations on the height,size and number of antennas that can be put up will insure
that no visual or scenic resources will be"degraded"substantially.
Finding: Impact less than significant.No mitigation is required.
I d)The antenna structures permitted under the proposed ordinance will be required to be maintained
in good condition including repainting when necessary. In addition, the permitted antenna structures
will not be high enough to require any kind of safety lighting. Therefore, there will be no light or
glare which would affect day or nighttime views.
Finding: No Impact. No mitigation is required.

II. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In
determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,
lead agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model(1997)prepared by the
California Dept.of Conservation as an optional
model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture
and farmland.Would the project:
a)Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland, 0 ❑ ❑
or Farmland of Statewide Importance •
(Farmland),as shown on the maps prepared
pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency,to non-agricultural use?
b)Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural ❑ 0 ❑ •
use,or a Williamson Act contract?
c)Involve other changes in the existing 0 0 0
environment which,due to their location or
nature,could result in conversion of Farmland,
to non-agricultural use?
A brief explanation to answer II:
II a)The limited amount of land necessary to erect a amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structure will
ensure that there would be no widespread or even limited conversion of prime farmland. In addition,
.antenna structures will be places on residential sites which have already been converted to non-
agricultural uses. In addition,there are currently no significant agricultural resources in the City of
Grand Terrace.
II b)The proposed ordinance would not prohibit any of the proposed uses in the City's"Agricultural
Overlay"zone; therefore it will have no impact on existing zoning for agricultural uses. In addition,
there are no parcels in the City where the property owner has entered into a "Williamson Act"
contract.
Q c)Amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures will be auxiliary uses primarily on residential parcels
which already have been converted to non-agricultural uses. These structures will not either directly
or indirectly result in the conversion of"Farmland"to non-agricultural uses.

A brief explanation to answer III:
QI a)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and putting up of amateur, "HAM,"
radio antenna structures. As there will be no grading to put up an antenna structure, there will be no
generation of dust or the emissions associated with grading. In addition, the operation of these
facilities will involve no generation of air emissions. Therefore there will be no violation of an air
quality plan such as the"2007 Air Quality Management Plan"adopted by the SCAQMD.
III b)The proposed ordinance would not violate any air quality standard or contribute"substantially"
to an air quality violation because the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above.
III c)The proposed ordinance would not"result in a cumulatively considerable net increase"in air
pollutants because of the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above.
III d)The proposed ordinance would not"expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations"
because of the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above.
III e)No objectionable odors would be generated by the use or operation of amateur, "HAM,"radio
antenna structures and equipment permitted by the proposed ordinance. In addition,as no grading
would be required,no odors associated with grading equipment would be generated.
Finding for III a-e:No Impact. No mitigation is required.

A brief explanation of answer IV:
IV a)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and erection of amateur, "HAM,"
radio antenna structures. As there will be no grading to put up an antenna structure, there will be no
"substantial" modification of habitat areas, if any exist in the City. At present, there are no known
endangered,threatened or rare species in the City. In addition, the City's General Plan,no significant
natural resources have been identified in the urban areas of the City where antenna structures would be
constructed. In the absence of any endangered, threatened, or rare species or their habitats, no impact
related to this issue would occur.
IV b)The amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not
have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community for the
reasons cited above.
IV c)The amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not
have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands through direct removal, etc., for the
reasons cited above.
IV d)The amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not
interfere substantially with wildlife dispersal or migration corridors because of little or no land
disturbance, including lack of grading,that will be required to construct such facilities.
IV e)The proposed ordinance will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources in that anyone seeking a permit to construct an amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna
structure will have to comply with all applicable City regulations before a permit would be issued.
IV f)The proposed ordinance will not conflict with any adopted habitat conservation plan in that there
are no such adopted habitat conservation plans that include the City of Grand Terrace.

d)Disturb any human remains,including those 0 0 0 •
interred outside of formal cemeteries?(There
are no cemeteries in Grand Terrace nor are
there any known human remains on the
site.)
A brief explanation of answer V:
V a-c)As discussed in the City's General Plan,the history of the City,particularly the agricultural use
of the area,makes the possibility of finding archaeological and paleontological resource material
remote. The General Plan also states that there are little or no historical resources in the City. In
addition,no grading will not be required to construct or erect an amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna
structure. These facts will insure that the proposed ordinance will not result in adverse impacts to
archeological,paleontological or historical resources.
V d)There are no cemeteries in Grand Terrace. In addition,it is unlikely that human remains would
be disturbed outside of a"formal"cemetery in that,according to the General Plan, "the existing body
of knowledge has not identified any likelihood of local settlement by native Californians." Therefore
it is highly unlikely that the lack of or very limited amount of ground disturbance to erect an amateur,
"HAM,"radio antenna structure would disturb any human remains.

A brief explanation of answer VI:
VI a-i)There are no known"active"faults as shown on the Alquist-Priolo maps within the City of
Grand Terrace. Therefore no amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures permitted by the proposed
ordinance would fail through fault rupture which is the failure of a structure caused by the
displacement along the trace of the active fault.
VI a-ii)The City of Grand Terrace could be subject to strong ground shaking during a seismic event in
the Southern California region. However, the antenna structures will require building permits as
determined by the City's Building Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is
that these structures will not fail during a seismic event including strong seismic ground shaking.
VI a-ill)The antenna structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building
Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is that these structures will not fail
during a seismic event including failure from or due to liquefaction. In addition, the Environmental
Impact Report for the City's General Plan states that liquefaction is unlikely to occur in most portions
of Grand Terrace.
VI a-iv)According to the Environmental Impact Report for the City's General Plan, landslides are a
relatively minor hazard in the City and would not be expected to represent a significant hazard.
VI b)Because no grading would be involved in constructing or erecting an amateur, "HAM,"radio
antenna structure,no significant impacts would result in soil erosion or loss of topsoil.
VI c)These structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official.
One of the considerations in granting a building permit is whether a"soils report"would be required
which would identify unstable soils.
VI d)These structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official.
One of the considerations in granting a building permit is whether a"soils report"would be required
which would identify expansive soils.
VI e)The proposed amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance will
be unoccupied and as such will not generate waste water.

subject to the City's Zoning Code and therefore the proposed ordinance will have no effect on this
site.
VII e)There is no airport land use plan within the City of Grand Terrace and there are no public or

A brief explanation of answer XVII:
XVII a)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and erection of amateur,"HAM,"
radio antenna structures. The proposed ordinance would not impact any threatened or endangered
species or habitat. As stated in the Initial Study, the proposed ordinance does not have the potential to
degrade the quality of the environment with respect to the habitat of fish or wildlife species,nor would
it cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant
or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal,
or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. Therefore,
there are considered to be no impacts with respect to this issue.
Finding: No Impact. No mitigation is required
XVII b)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and erection of amateur,"HAM,"
radio antenna structures. As identified in the Initial Study,the proposed ordinance would have no
impacts on the environment. Also,the number of amateur,"HAM, "radio antenna structures is
projected to be quite limited in the community. As such,it is logical to conclude that there will be no
"considerable"cumulative impacts resulting from the proposed ordinance.
Finding: No Impact. No mitigation is required
XVII c)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and erection of amateur,"HAM,"
radio antenna structures. As identified in the Initial Study, the proposed ordinance would have no
"substantial adverse effect on human beings,either directly or indirectly."
