NOTICE OF PUBLIC REVIEW AND INTENT TO ADOPT A PROPOSED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
County File: CP97-36
Pursuant to the State of California Public Resources Code and the "Guidelines for Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970" as amended to date, this is to advise you that the Community Development
Department of Contra Costa County has prepared an initial study on the following project:
The project involves revitalizing the North Broadway neighborhood with the installation of sidewalks,curb and
gutter,underground drainage,and reconstruction and/or extensions of roads where necessary.
The proposed improvements will widen North Broadway Avenue to 40 feet. Solano Avenue,Poinsettia Avenue,
Bella Monte Avenue, Highway Avenue and Crivello Avenue will be widened to 36 feet. Siino Avenue and
Suisun Avenue between North Broadway Avenue and Poinsettia Avenue be widened to 32 feet with no parking
zones on both sides. Fairview Street between Willow Pass Road and Pullman Avenue will be constructed to 36
feet wide when the land on the east side develops and Fairview Street from Pullman Avenue north is to be
constructed 28 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on the west side only. Pullman Avenue between Bella Monte
Avenue and Crivello Avenue is proposed to be constructed to 28 feet with curb and sidewalk on the south side
only. It is also proposed that Pullman Avenue,will be extended from Fairview Street to North Broadway Avenue,
and will be constructed 32 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on both sides. Both sections of Pullman Avenue will
have no parking on both sides.
An east-west cross street is proposed to be constructed approximately 500 feet north of Willow Pass Road
between North Broadway Avenue and Fairview Street. This street will be 32 feet wide with no parking on both
sides. Another east-west cross street is proposed to be constructed approximately 450 feet north of Pullman
Avenue between North Broadway Avenue and Solano Avenue. This street is proposed to be 32 feet wide with
no parking on both sides. When the two large vacant lots between Fairview Street and Bella Monte Avenue are
developed,Siino Avenue will be extended to Fairview Street to connect to the proposed cross street 500 feet north
of Willow Pass Road. The street is proposed to be 32-foot wide with curb and sidewalk on both sides. Parking
would be prohibited on both sides of this street. In addition,Pullman Avenue is proposed to be extended from
Bella Monte Avenue to Fairview Street when the two large vacant lots are developed. The street is proposed to
be 28-foot wide with curb and sidewalk on the south side only. Parking would be prohibited on this street. The
location of the proposed cross streets are schematic only. Their exact location will be determined later. No
improvements are proposed for all of Tormay Avenue plus Pullman Avenue and Siino Avenue east of Crivello
Avenue, and the offer of dedication will be terminated.
The proposed project includes the installation of storm drains in Poinsettia Avenue,Fairview Street, Bella Monte
Avenue,Highway Avenue and Crivello Avenue. Minor improvements are proposed for the storm drains in North
Broadway Avenue and Solano Avenue. The proposed project also includes adding 23 street lights to existing
utility poles. The proposed spacing of the street lights would average about 145 feet.
As part of the project,the Redevelopment Agency may acquire additional parcels necessary to implement the
revitalization strategy.
The proposed project also includes the following features identified in this supplement to the environmental
checklist:
1. Adherence to standard dust control and erosion control practices including,but not limited to general
watering of exposed areas and/or use of chemical stabilizers (see 91-Earth and 42-Air).
2. The use of properly tuned and muffled equipment:and the elimination of unnecessary idling of machines {
when not in use(see#2-Air and#6 Noise).
3. Construction of the drainage improvements, including the outfall into an existing swale, shall occur
during periods of low or no flow(e.g.,April to October)to avoid water quality impacts(see 44-Water).
4. Properties not purchased on the open market,will be acquired in accordance with the State of California's
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1971 (Government Code Section 7260 et
seq).
5. The installation of sufficient signs during construction,warning of lane closures,shifting traffic, and
traffic parking restrictions(see#13-Transportation/Circulation).
6. The inclusion of measures to be taken in the event cultural resources are encountered during
construction(see#20- Cultural Resources).
Assessor Parcel Numbers: #096-011-all,096-012-4 096-013-all,096-013-all, 096-014-all, 096-015-all, 096-016-

mitigation measures described on an attached sheet 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Project Location/Description:
The proposed project is located in the North Broadway neighborhood of Bay Point, in east Contra
Costa County. The project area is bound by Willow Pass Road to the south, the S.N.R.R., S.P.R.R.,
and the A.T. &S.F.R.R. tracks to the north, North Broadway Avenue to the west and Crivello Avenue
to the east. The existing land uses in the project area include a combination of single family homes,
small apartment buildings, mobile home parks and the commercial area along Willow Pass Road.
The single family homes are of various ages and range from very small to moderate in size and are
in all states of maintenance.
The project involves revitalizing the North Broadway neighborhood with the installation of sidewalks,
curb and gutter, underground drainage, and reconstruction and/or extensions of roads where
necessary. The existing roadway infrastructure consists of paved streets of various widths with
intermittent areas of curb and sidewalk and unimproved streets. The existing 35 street lights are
located on utility poles with the spacing varying between 150 feet and 350 feet. North Broadway
Avenue and Solano Avenue have underground storm drain lines. The other north-south streets drain
to the north via road side ditches. The east-west streets are short and drain to a north-south street.
The proposed improvements will widen North Broadway Avenue to 40 feet. Solano Avenue,
Poinsettia Avenue, Bella Monte Avenue, Highway Avenue and Crivello Avenue will be widened to
36 feet. Siino Avenue and Suisun Avenue between North Broadway Avenue and Poinsettia Avenue
be widened to 32 feet with no parking zones on both sides. Fairview Street between Willow Pass
Road and Pullman Avenue will be constructed to 36 feet wide when the land on the east side
develops and Fairview Street from Pullman Avenue north it be constructed 28 feet wide with curb
and sidewalk on the west side only. Pullman Avenue between Bella Monte Avenue and Crivello
Avenue is proposed to be constructed to 28 feet with curb and sidewalk on the south side only. It
is also proposed that Pullman Avenue, will be extended from Fairview Street to North Broadway
Avenue, and will be constructed 32 feet wide with curb and sidewalk on both sides. Both sections
of Pullman Avenue will have no parking on both sides.
An east-west cross street is proposed to be constructed approximately 500 feet north of Willow Pass
Road between North Broadway Avenue and Fairview Street. This street will be 32 feet wide with
no parking on both sides. Another east-west cross street is proposed to be constructed
approximately 450 feet north of Pullman Avenue between North Broadway Avenue and Solano
Avenue. This street is proposed to be 32 feet wide with no parking on both sides. When the two
large vacant lots between Fairview Street and Bella Monte Avenue are developed, Siino Avenue will
be extended to Fairview Street to connect to the proposed cross street 500 feet north of Willow Pass
Road. The street is proposed to be 32-foot wide with curb and sidewalk on both sides. Parking
would be prohibited on both sides of this street. In addition, Pullman Avenue is proposed to be
extended from Bella Monte Avenue to Fairview Street when the two large vacant lots are developed.
The street is proposed to be 28-foot wide with curb and sidewalk on the south side only. Parking
would be prohibited on this street. No improvements are proposed for all of Tormay Avenue plus
Pullman Avenue and Siino Avenue east of Crivello Avenue, and the offer of dedication will be
terminated.
The proposed project includes the installation of storm drains in Poinsettia Avenue, Fairview Street,
Bella Monte Avenue, Highway Avenue and Crivello Avenue. Minor improvements are proposed for
the storm drains in North Broadway Avenue and Solano Avenue. The proposed project also includes
adding 23 street lights to existing utility poles. The proposed spacing of the street lights would
average about 145 feet.
Environmental Checklist-Additional Information - Page 1 of 4
As part of the project, the Redevelopment Agency may acquire additional parcels necessary to
implement the revitalization strategy.
The proposed project also includes the following features identified in this supplement to the
environmental checklist:
1. Adherence to standard dust control and erosion control practices including, but not limited
to general watering of exposed areas and/or use of chemical stabilizers (see#1-Earth and
#2-Air).
2. The use of properly tuned and muffled equipment and the elimination of unnecessary idling
of machines when not in use (see#2-Air and;#6-Noise).
3. Construction of the drainage improvements, including the outfall into an existing swale, shall
occur during periods of low or no flow (e.g., April to October) to avoid water quality impacts
(see#4-Water).
4. Properties not purchased on the open market, will be acquired in accordance with the State
of California's Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1971 (Government
Code Section 7260 et seq).
5. The installation of sufficient signs during construction, warning of lane closures, shifting
traffic, and traffic parking restrictions (see#13-Transportation/Circulation).
6. The inclusion of measures to be taken in the event cultural resources are encountered during
construction (see#20- Cultural Resources).
In the process of preparing the Checklist and conducting the evaluation, the following references
(which are available for review at the Community Development Department, 651 Pine Street, 2nd
Floor, North Wing, Martinez, CA 94553) were consulted:

Item 1: Earth
According to the County Resource Mapping System, Antioch loam is found in the project area.
Runoff from these soils is slow to medium and erosion hazard is slight to moderate where the soil
has been exposed or tilled. The project temporarily increases the exposure of the soil to wind
erosion during the construction phase, but this impact is minor and temporary. Adherence to
standard dust control and erosion control practices including, but not limited to general watering of
exposed areas and/or use of chemical stabilizers will avoid this impact. These measures shall be
incorporated into the construction contract.
Item: 2 Air
Short-term emissions and objectionable odors are generated during construction activities, but they
are minor and temporary. To minimize this impact, contract specifications shall stipulate the use of
Environmental Checklist- Additional Information - Page 2 of 4
properly tuned and muffled equipment and the elimination of unnecessary idling of machines when
not in use. These measures could reduce construction period emissions by up to 50 percent.
Adherence to standard dust control and erosion control practices including, but not limited to general
watering of exposed areas and/or use of chemical stabilizers will also minimize air quality impacts.
Item: 3 Water:
According to the Contra Costa Resource Mapping System, only a small area of the northwest comer
of the project area is in a flood hazard area. Constructing the proposed infrastructure.improvements
will not increase the exposure of people or property to flooding. In fact, installing curbs and gutters
and underground drainage will result in positive flow of storm water, allowing water to drain more
efficiently off roadways. Construction of the drainage improvements, including the outfall into an
existing swale, shall occur during periods of low or no flow (e.g., April to October) to avoid water
quality impacts.
Standard construction safety practices (see#2 -Air(A- B) and #13 -Transportation/Circulation (A-
D)) shall be followed in order to reduce the possibility of a spill of gasoline, oil, or other pollutants
which could have a significant impact on water quality.
Item: 4 Plant Life:
Plant life in the project area includes that which is typically associated with landscaping of single-
family residences. Some landscaping improvements (including trees and shrubs) will be removed
from areas needed for right-of-way. However, removal these plants is not expected to result in the
reduction of the numbers of any unique, rare or endangered species.
Item: 6 Noise:
Constructing infrastructure improvements in the project area will not increase the existing noise level
of the project area, except during construction. In general, construction activities produce noise
levels of 86 dBA at 50 feet. Best management practices noted in#2-Air(A- B) reduce construction
noise levels and shall be incorporated as part of the construction contract.
Item.8: Land Use:
The existing land uses in the project area consist of a combination of commercial uses, residential,
wrecking yards, and several undeveloped vacant parcels. The proposed project will result in a
change of some of these uses to public road right-of-way. Proposed improvements are consistent
with the Bay Point Redevelopment Plan's objective to provide infrastructure improvements to the
area.
Item 11: Population
Approximately ten houses will be acquired and removed as a result of the project, altering the local
residential population on the site. This will not significantly alter population location, distribution,
density, or growth rate of the project area.
Item 12: Housing
Approximately ten houses will be acquired and removed as a result of the project. If any of these
properties are not purchased on the open market, they will be acquired in accordance with the State
of Califomia's Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1971 (Government Code
Section 7260 et seq). Given the available housing,stock in the area, acquiring these houses in the
project area will not significantly affect existing housing, or create a demand for additional housing
in the project area.
Environmental Checklist-Additional Information - Page 3 of 4
Item 13: Transportation/Circulation
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve: the infrastructure, including the roadway
infrastructure, of the project area. Widening and extending streets, installing curb and gutter, and
installing street lights will result in smoother circulation patterns in the project area.
Since it will be necessary to close lanes and shift traffic during construction, the project may have
a temporary impact on the existing transportation system and an increase in the potential for traffic
hazards to motor vehicles. These temporary impacts will be minimized by installing sufficient signs
warning about the construction.
Item 14 : Public Services:
The roads and storm drainage system in the project area are currently maintained by the County.
Periodic maintenance of road improvements will continue to be performed by the County. The
proposed infrastructure improvements reduce the frequency of maintenance currently performed on
the roadway and storm drainage system.
Item 16: Utilities
The project includes improvements to the water, sewer, and street lighting services in the project
area. These improvements will be either coordinated with or constructed by the appropriate utility
agencies,
Item 20: Cultural Resources
The County General Plan has designated the project area as an archeological highly sensitive area.
However, according to the County Resource Mapping System no historical or archaeological sites
exist within the project area. Since the area has been previously disturbed through the construction
of roads and houses, further archaeologic surveys were not conducted. However, standard
specifications state that all personnel connected with the project will be informed of the possibility
of finding archaeological resources (e.g., human remains, artifacts, mortars is rock, bone, or shell).
If during construction such resources are encountered, all work will be halted within a 30 yard radius
of the find and a qualified archaeologist retained to ascertain the nature of the discovery. Measures
recommended by the archaeologist shall be implemented.
Since the proposed project involves the acquisition of approximately ten single-family residences,
some of which are more than 50 years old, a historic resources report was prepared for the project
area. None of the structures to be acquired meet the criteria for significance set forth in Appendix
K of the CEQA Guidelines. Thus, the project will not have a significant impact on historic resources.

Dear Ms. Toms:
The Fire District has reviewed the initial study of the North Broadway
project and applauds the redevelopment agency for undertaking this
project. The widening of roadways and the addition of three (3) new cross
streets will improve the ability of the Fire District to respond to
emergencies in the entire area.
The Fire District requests that three fire hydrants be added in addition to
the existing hydrants in the subject area in order to conform to the Uniform
Fire Code requirements regarding spacing of fire hydrants. A site plan of
the area is attached, showing the location of the requested fire hydrants.
A fire flow of 1,000 GPM at 20 psi residual pressure with one hydrant
flowing is the minimum flow permitted.
The existing fire hydrants at 110 and 187 North Broadway, 112 Solano
Avenue, 129 and 57 Poinsettia Way, 53 Fairview Street shall be upgraded
to fire hydrants with one 2-1/2" and one 4-1/2" outlets. Currently, the
