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 effect" 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. ❑ 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 all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier ETR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revi'ons or miction measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. Glenn Rider v Associate Planner 11P20/02 ZCH 2O02.0031;TTM-2002-0015.9105 San Diego Road.Mehring.ISMN D.GR 1 1 CITY OF ATASCADERO INITIAL STUDY 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 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) "Potentially Significant Impact" is'appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If -there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Potentially Significant Unless 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, "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 checklistreferences 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. A source list should be attached. Other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 11!20102 ZCH 2002.0031;TTh1-2002-0015.9105 San Dego Ro8d.Mehdng.1SMND.GR CITY OFATASCADERO .IM71AL STUDY Initial Study 2002-0046 Potentially Less Than Less Than No Significant Significantwith Significant Impact ZCH 2002-0031/TTM 2002-0015 Impact Mitigation Impact 9105 & 9127 San Diego Incorporation 1. AESTHETICS — Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? ❑ ❑ ❑ b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not ❑ ❑ ❑ limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings Within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or❑ ® ❑ quality of the site and its surroundings? El d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare thatEl❑ would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? ❑ SOURCES: Project Description -Photos; 10/24/02 Mehring Tentative Tract Map 2460, Twin Cities Surveying Inc.; 11/20/02 Planning Staff Site Visit; 9/27/02 Percolation Tests -Buena Geotechnical Services, LLC.; DISCUSSION: The project site is not located within a scenic vista or naturally scenic corridor. The moderately sloped parcels are within the City's RS (Residential Suburban) zoning district bounded on all sides by developed and vacant residential land uses and a public roadway, San Diego Road. Residential lighting at the site shall be designed to eliminate off site glare. Residential lighting impacts for the density allowed by the zone district have been determined to be a less than significant impact based on the minimum lot size and light shed distances of typical residential lighting schemes analyzed under the City Of Atascadero General Plan. Site topography and vegetation prevent light spillage and prevent visibility of all new parcels from the existing residences and public roadway. The project designates future access roads and building sites which will not remove native trees on the site, and thus will not reduce the natural aesthetics of the site. 2. AGRICULTURAL 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, or Farmland ❑ El 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 use, or a ❑ ❑ ❑ Williamson Act contract?

The concept of the impact fee program is to fund and sustain improvements which are needed as a result of new development as stated in the General Pian and other policy documents within the fee program. Development Impact Fees fall into the following categories: Drainage Fees (including the Amapoa Tecorida Drainage Area Fee); . Streets, Road, Bridge Fees; Sewer Fees; Public Safety Fees; and Park Fees, Miscellaneous Fees. In addition, school fees are collected by the Atascadero Unified School District. The amount of impact fees to be paid will be determined at the time of issuance of building permit. Fire and Police: Impact fees are charged for new development, to help pay the cost of providing new facilities to serve the expanding city. The Fire Department of the City of Atascadero has indicated that it will be able to adequately service the proposed project. The applicant shall comply with all requirements of the Fire Department. The City of Atascadero Police Department has also indicated that the proposed project poses no problems to the police to adequately service it. Schools: At buildout, the city's population will overburden the existing school system unless additional classroom space is added. The Atascadero Unified School District charges impact fees to fund additional schools as needed. State law restricts mitigation of school impacts to the levying of these fees and other measures adopted by the school district. Provision of adequate facilities for the population is the responsibility of the school district. Fees will be required through construction permits for the residence. Parks: New residences will increase demand on parks and recreation facilities. The city's Parks & Recreation Commission is committed to finding ways to continue to provide parks and other recreational opportunities to city residents as the city expands, thereby addressing cumulative impacts. Other public facilities: The construction of the project is not expected to have significant impacts on any other public facilities. 14. RECREATION -- a) Would the project increase the use of existingEl ❑ ❑ neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require ❑ ❑ ❑ the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment?

Architects. DISCUSSION: Water. The Atascadero Mutual Water Company (AMWC) will provide water. All property within the city limits is entitled to water from the AMWC. The project is not expected to require significant quantities of water for the proposed uses. Water is pumped from two portions of the largest underground basin in the county, the Paso Robles Formation, using a series of shallow and deep wells. The water company anticipates that it will be able to meet the city's needs through buildout and beyond: Water demand at buildout under the LUE is estimated at about 8,500 acre-feet per year (AFY). The total available groundwater supply greatly exceeds demand, according to the findings of the Long -Term Viability of Water study. However, the water company does not currently have the deep wells needed to tap into the total amount needed at buildout. The water company is currently developing plans for installing wells where they will be most effective and will not conflict with water rights of others. According to the Water Company, development of additional wells is expected to keep pace with construction in the city, so that water supply will not be interrupted. Sewer. The project is not required to utilize the City's Sewer system. On-site septic systems are required for each new residential parcel. Storm Water. Storm water discharge will be handled by an on City stormwater connection. 17, MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE -- a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality ❑ El 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 a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually El El limited, but cumulatively considerable?

We have completed our review of the proposed zone change and tentative tract map for the property located at 9105 & 9127 San Diego Road in Atascadero. We have the following comments on the proposal. The proposed lot adjustments will yield 5 lots that are slightly larger than the niinimum of 2.5 acres for Residential Suburban development and is consistent -with the current City of Atascadero General Plan. While this adjustment would increase the housing density on this land, the District prefers to see in -fill take place near the urban core where the housing density tends to be much greater. The proposed minimum density_ development of the proposed urban fringe project foster continued dependency orprivate auto use as the only viable means of access to essential services and other destinations. This is inconsistent with the land use planning strategies recommended in " the Clean Air Plan, which promote the concept of compact development by directing growth to areas within existing urban and village reserve lines. Pae 13 of the Initial Stud was not included with the project referral. VVe assume however, that Page Y p l the mitigation measures proposed on that page were identical to those listed in Exhibit A. Ivlitigation Measure 3.b, which included fugitive dust mitigation measures and the addition of,,:.:__. : shade ties to reduce surface temperafures. These mitigation measures would:be necessary to . minimize nuisance concerns and to reduce fugitive dust emissions during the construction phase. Asbestos has been identified by the state Air Resources Board as a toxic air contaminant. Serpentine and ultramafic rocks are very common in the state and may containnaturally occurring asbestos. Under the State Air Resources Board Air Toxics Control Measure (ATCM). fot`Construction; Gradin g, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations, prior to any graclrng .activities at the site, a geologic evaluation will be necessary to determine if naturally ' occurring asbestos is present: If naturally occurring asbestos is found at the site the applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in the Asbestos ATCb1 for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations, These requirements may include but are not limited to 1) an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan which must be 3433 Roberto Court San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 - 505-781-5412 • FAXc$05-7514002 info(Psiodean3iron. »rwstcdeanaire> J City of Atascadero Resolution No. 2003-001 Page 4 D City of Atascadero Resolution No. 2003-001 Page 5 City of Atascadero Resolution No. 2003-001 Page 6 Exhibit B: Mitigated Negative Declaration Comments ZCH 2002-0031/CUP 2002-0089/TTM 2002-0015 City Of Atascadero Response to APCD Comments Subject: 9105 & 9127 San Diego Road: Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 2002-0046 Recent standardized regulation for fugitive naturally occurring asbestos is a new CEQA threshold for the entire area. The City Of Atascadero will evaluate when to incorporate mitigation upon reviewing geological maps of project areas. If a project falls within an area known to contain asbestos, mitigation measures will be incorporated into the project. Mitigation will be crafted after the new State Air Resources Board Air Toxics Control Measure's (ATOM) guide for construction, grading, quarrying, and surface mining operations. C
