The environmental assessment of this project was completed under Environmental Review Case No. 06-02. NOW THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS: 1. The proposed project and uses are consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and the General Plan in that the use is allowed in "Planning Area No. 1 of the 'OAC"and meets the standards of the said Planning Area as required by the Site and Architectural Review. 2. The locations and configuration of all structures associated with this project are visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures,that they do not interfere with the neighbors'privacy,that they do not unnecessarily block scenic views from other structures and/or public areas,and are in scale with the townscape and natural landscape of the area. The design and appearance of the proposed buildings will be consistent with surrounding development. In addition, the site will be appropriately landscaped to blend in with existing development in the area and will utilize decorative walls to mitigate the appearance of the project. 3. The architectural design of the structure,its materials,and colors utilizing earth tone colors are visually harmonious with surrounding development and natural landforms; are functional for the proposed project; and are consistent with the Grand Terrace 1 Municipal Code. . Said materials will match existing materials and colors of the surrounding commercial areas. 4.

Thus the natural beauty of the city, its setting and natural landforms will be preserved. 6. The shape and configuration of the proposed site warrant a modification of the height limit to allow for the same amount of floor area for a more regularly shaped parcel. 7. Because of the special circumstances,the strict application of the height standards of "Planning Area No. 1 of the 'OAC" deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and underthe identical zoning classification. 8.

Community Development Department 1 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis Environmental Factors Potentially Affected: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project,involving at least one impact that is a"Potentially Significant Impact"as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑Land Use and Planning ❑ Transportation/Circulation ❑ Public Services ❑ Population and Housing ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Utilities and Services Systems ■Geological Problems ❑Energy and Mineral Resources ❑Aesthetics ■Water ❑Hazards ❑Cultural Resources ■Air Quality ❑Noise ❑Recreation ❑Mandatory Findings of Significance Determination: On the basis of this initial evaluation(To be completed by the Lead Agency): ❑ 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 an attached sheet have been added to the project. 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 significant effect(s)on the environment,but at least one effect 1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document to applicable legal standards,and 2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the effect is a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,there WILL NOT be significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects(a)have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR pursuant to applicable standards and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR,including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. SiJre � Date Gary L. Koontz Communitv Development Director Printed Name Title Community Development Department 2 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis 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) "Potential Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potential Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, and EIR is required. 4) "Potential Significant Unless Mitigated Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potential 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, `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(c)(3)(D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section XVII at the end of the checklist. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). References to a previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. A source list should be attached,and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. Community Development Department 3 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis J Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated I. Land Use and Planning. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with general elan designation or zoning? ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ (Source: General Plan Categories Map; and Zoning District Map—The proposed use is allowed in the "Planning Area No. 1 of the OAC".) b) Conflict with applicable environmental plans or ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ policies adopted by agencies with jurisdiction over the project? (There are no known agencies where the proposed project would cause a conflict. ) c) Be incompatible with existing land use in the vicinity? (Zoning District Map,Zoning Regulations, City Zoning ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ Code)This project is permitted by right in the Outdoor Adventures Center(OAC) Specific Plan. d) Affect agricultural resources or operations (e.g., ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ impacts to soils or farmlands, or impacts from incompatible land uses)? (There are no significant agricultural resources in this part of Grand Terrace) e) Disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of an ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ established community(including a low-income or minority community)? (The site consists of only 2.4 acres and is vacant. It will not divide any portion of the community. ) A brief explanation to answer I: The proposed project is permitted by right in the OAC. The project will meet all of the development standards of the OAC except for the variance request to modify the height limit;however,the OAC Specific Plan contains specific language which allow the Planning Commission to modify the height limit up to a height of 35 feet. The proposed use is compatible with other uses in the immediate vicinity including wholesale uses along Commerce Way. In addition,the proposed project will not affect any agricultural resources as none exist on the subject site;nor will the project disrupt or divide the physical arrangement of the City as it will be built on established,recorded parcels. Community Development Department 4 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis . Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated II. Population and Housing. Would the proposal: a) Cumulatively exceed official regional or local population projections? (This project does not propose ❑ ❑ ❑ any residential uses.) b) Induce substantial growth in an area either directly or indirectly(e.g. through projects in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure)? (This project ❑ ❑ ❑ will not induce any substantial growth as it is replacing an existing headquarters site.) c) Displace existing housing, especially affordable housing? (The property was occupied by a single very old resident which was demolished to make way for ❑ ❑ ❑ this proposal) A brief explanation to answer H: The proposed project does not propose any residential development. All public services for this site already exist. The project will not induce substantial growth in that no expansion of infrastructure will be required for this proposal. Lastly,no existing housing will be displaced as the site is vacant and has not been used for residential purposes. III Geologic Problems. Would the proposal result in or expose people to potential impacts involving: a) Fault rupture? (General Plan MEA/EIR-ES-4) ❑ ❑ ❑ _l b) Seismic ground shaking?(GP MEA/EIR-II-1) ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ c) Seismic ground failure, including liquefaction? (GP ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ MEA/EIR- II-1) — d) Seiches, tsunami, or volcanic hazard? (GP MEA/EIR ❑ ❑ ❑ __I II-1) e) Landslides or mudflows? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) ❑ ❑ ❑ f) Erosion, changes in topography or unstable soil conditions from excavation, grading, or fill? (GP ❑ ❑ ❑ [_ MEA/EIR II-20) g) Subsidence of the land? (GP MEA/EIR II-1,Append ❑ ❑ ❑ 11 B) h) Expansive soil? (GP MEA/EIR II-1, Append B-4) ❑ ❑ ❑ I) Unique geologic or physical features? (GP MEA/EIR ❑ ❑ ❑ I i II-1) Community Development Department 5 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated A brief explanation to answer III: No active or potentially active fault traces cross the site. The only known potential geologic hazard to the site is from seismic ground shaking which is not unusual for any site in Southern California. This and any other geologic hazard will be mitigated by the requirements that all structures shall be designed and constructed to meet the seismic standards of the Uniform Building Code. Also,a soils report will be required before the issuance of a grading permit or building permits for this project for the construction of the headquarters facilities which will identify liquefaction potential. Finding:Potential impact reduced to a level of insignificance with mitigation measure:This project must meet the requirements that all structures be designed and constructed to meet the seismic standards of the Uniform Building Code. IV. Water. Would the proposal result in: a) Changes in absorption rates, drainage patterns, or the rate and amount of surface runoff? (GP MEA/EIR II-1 ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ Append B) b) Expose to people or property to water related hazards ❑ ❑ ❑ such as flooding? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) c) Discharge into surface water or other alteration of ❑ ❑ ❑ _ _i surface water quality(e.g., temperature, dissolved oxygen or turbidity)? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) d) Changes in the amount of surface water in any water ❑ ❑ ❑ body? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) e) Changes in currents, or the course or direction of water ❑ ❑ ❑ movements? () f) Changes in the quality of ground waters, either through ❑ ❑ ❑ direct additions or withdrawals, or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or excavations, or through substantial loss of groundwater recharge capability? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) g) Altered direction or rate of flow of groundwater? (GP ❑ ❑ ❑ MEA/EIR II-1) h) Impacts to groundwater quality? (GP MEA/EIR II-1, ❑ ❑ ❑ and 97 Regional WCA Report) I) Substantial reduction in the amount of groundwater ❑ ❑ ❑ otherwise available for public water supplies? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) Community Development Department 6 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis ,Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated A brief explanation to answer IV: The proposed project is to construct the new location of the Essco Electric business in Grand Terrace. There will be an increase in impermeable surface area;however,a hydrology study will be required to analyze how this increase in runoff will be adequately handled. The hydrology study will be required before any grading permits for this project can be issued. In addition,before the grading permits are issued for this project,all NPDES requirements will have to be met which will ensure that many of the impact to water resources will be eliminated. These requirements will be set out in a required"Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan." Also,a"Water Quality Management Plan"will be required before building permits are issued to ensure the quality of the water runoff from this site. Finding:Potential impact reduced to a level of insignificance with mitigation measure:This project must meet the requirements that prior to the issuance of grading permits,the applicant shall comply with the City of Grand Terrace Stormwater System Ordinance(Ordinance NO. 142, Subsection 1.010, 1993)and the Santa Ana regional Water Quality Boards NPDES Permit for San Bernardino County,as required by the Clean Water Act.. V. Air Quality. Would the proposal: a) Violate any air quality standard or contribute to an ❑ ■ ❑ ❑ existing or projected air quality violation? (GP MEAIEIR Il-14, and AQMP) b) Expose sensitive receptors to pollutants? (The Element ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ contains an implementing action to reduce such exposure) c) Alter air movement,moisture, or temperature, or cause ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ any change in climate? (Any such implementing actions are designed to have a positive effect on the region's air quality) d) Create objectionable odors? (No specific odor causing ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ proposals are included in the Element) A brief explanation to answer V: The proposed project is relatively small size at only 2.4 acres. Most of the site will be paved or covered with landscaping. Dust generated by the grading of the site will be controlled as required by existing City regulations. No manufacturing activities will take place on the site and therefore there will be no manufacturing pollutants generated on the site.Also no odors will be produced on the site. Some minor air pollutants will be generated by the vehicles employed on the site and employee and customer vehicles but the amount of pollution will be less than significant. Finding:Potential impact reduced to a level of insignificance with mitigation measure. For the grading of the site where dust will be generated,appropriate dust control measures will be integrated into grading plans and activities as required by the City as part of the conditions of the grading permit.

() ❑ ❑ ❑ Brief explanation to answer VI: _ Based on the size and nature of the proposed project,it will not have a significant traffic impact on arterial or intersection level of service. VII. Biological Resources. Would the proposal result in impacts to: a) Endangered,threatened, or rare species or their habitats (including but not limited to ❑ ❑ ❑ plants, fish, insects, animals, and birds)? (GP MEA/EIR H-20, Append C) b) Locally designated species (e.g., heritage trees)? (GP MEA/EIR II-20) ❑ ❑ ❑ c) Locally designated natural communities (e.g., oak forest, coastal habitat, etc.)? (GP ❑ ❑ ❑ MEA/EIR U-20) d) Wetland habitat(e.g., marsh, riparian, and vernal pool)? (GP MEA/EIR 11-20) ❑ ❑ ❑ e) Wildlife dispersal or migration corridors? (GP MEA/EIR 11-20) ❑ ❑ ❑ Community Development Department 8 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated Brief explanation to answer VII: No rare or endangered species are known to live in the urban areas of Grand Terrace. In addition,there are no desirable large trees on the site or wetland habitats. No adverse impacts to biological resources are expected to result from the development of this project. VIII. Energy and Mineral Resources. Would the proposal: a) Conflict with adopted energy ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ conservation plans? (GP MEA/EIR H-19, and Append D) b) Use non-renewable resources in a ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ wasteful and inefficient manner? c) Result in the loss of availability of a ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ known mineral resource that would be of future value to the region and the residents of the State? (GP MEA/EIR H-19, and Append B) Brief explanation to answer VIII: No mineral resources have been identified in the City. Therefore the development of this project will not adversely impact any mineral resources. In addition,the project will have to be constructed in compliance with the energy standards of the building code. { Community Development Department 9 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis ssues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated IX. Hazards. Would the proposal involve: a) A risk of accidental explosion or ❑ ❑ ■ ❑ release of hazardous substance (including,but not limited to: oil, pesticides, chemicals, or radiation)? (GP MEA/EIR II-7) b) Possible interference with ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? (GT Emergency Plan, and GP MEA/EIR II-13) c) The creation of any health hazard or ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ potential health hazard? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) d) Exposure of people to existing ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ sources of potential health hazards? (GP MEA/EIR II-1) e) Increase fire hazard in areas with ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ flammable brush, grass, or trees? (GP MEA/EIR II-6) Brief explanation to answer IX: There are no known existing hazards on the site or the immediate surrounding area including areas of flammable brush. In addition,there may be some hazardous materials stored on the site; however, this storage will be less than significant because the applicant will have to file the appropriate "business plan"with the Hazmat Division of the County Fire Department which will mitigate the storage of any hazardous materials. X. Noise. Would the proposal result in: a) Increase in existing noise levels? (City Noise Element) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ b) Exposure of people to severe noise levels? (City Noise Element) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ Community Development Department 10 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis -Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated Brief explanation to answer X. There will be some increase in ambient noise level simply from having the new facility at this site;however,this increase will not be significant. In addition,a condition will be imposed to require this facility to operate in conformance with the City's Noise Ordinance. XI. Public Services. Would the proposal have an effect upon, or result in a need for new or altered government services in any of the following areas: a) Fire protection? ( ) b) Police protection? ( ) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ c) Schools? ( ) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ d) Maintenance of public facilities, ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ including roads? ( ) ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ e) Other governmental services? ( ) Brief explanation of answer XI. This proposed project for the Essco Electric building is relatively small in size. As for any institutional or commercial project there will be some effect on public services but because of the relatively small size of the project all of these effects will be less than significant. Community Development Department 11 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No -- Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated XII. Utilities and Services Systems. Would the proposal result in a need for new systems or supplies,or substantial alternations to the following utilities: a) Power or natural gas? (GP _ MEA/EIR II-32,H-33) ❑ ❑ ❑ b) Communications systems? (GP MEA/EIR H-33) ❑ ❑ ❑ c) Local or regional water treatment or distribution facilities? (GP ❑ ❑ ❑ MEA/EIR II-30) d) Sewer or septic tanks?

(GP MEA/EIR II-21) ❑ ❑ ❑ Brief explanation to answer XV. As the project is not residential,there will be no impacts on the recreational resources of the City. Community Development Department 13 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No - Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated XVI. Mandatory findings of significance. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, 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 rare or endangered plant or animal, eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? c) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited,but ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable"means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of other probable future proj ects.) d) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial ❑ ❑ ❑ ■ adverse effect on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Community Development Department 14 Initial Study and Environmental Analysis Issues(and Support Information Sources): Potentially Potentially Less than No Significant Significant Significant impact Impact Unless Impact Mitigation Incorporated Brief explanation to answers XVI. No Impact.The proposed project is relatively small with only 2.4 acres to be developed. Any effects on the environment resulting from this project will either be less than significant or will be fully mitigated by the required conditions of the conditional use permit and the site and,architectural review. XVII. Earlier Analysis. Earlier analysis may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR, or other CEQA process, one or more effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR, or negative declaration.
