Key deal paints include: • The City's Redevelopment Agency will sell the County its corner parcel in its development for approximately $533,000, which includes the cost o the land and the County's pro-rata share of site improvement; architectural design, plan checking, and parking lot costs. • The County will directly oversee the construction of this new building, with private developers completing the rest of the commercial development. The County, however, would use the same exterior design for its building as the rest of the development to maintain the aesthetic quality of the site. • The County will sell the City its existing animal shelter in Pinole for approximately $725,000, but will continue to occupy the old facility until the new shelters are completed in bath Martinez and Pinole. •' The County will enter into a Maintenance, Operation, and Reciprocal Easement Agreement(MOREA) with the City's Redevelopment Agency related to the parking lot, sidewalk and landscape elements of the commercial project. • The County will enter into an agreement with the City's Redevelopment Agency that provides that the County will use the site acquired to guild and operate an animal shelter, but that if at some time in the future the use of the facility changes to a non- animal:shelter use, the Redevelopment Agency would have the right to approve of this changed use or a right of first offer to purchase the property back from the County. While the new animal'services facility will be"full service" in that it wi11 include pet adoption, lost pet recovery, and sale of animal licenses, it will not provide veterinary services, rabies' quarantine, or conduct euthanasia of animals. These services will be consolidated at the new'animal shelter in Martinez. As a result, we will not be able to open the new West County Shelter until the replacement Martinez Shelter is completed, which is currently estimated to occur in July 2003. The Community Development Department intends to prepare and circulate a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Pinole Shelter replacement project. The site being purchased from the Pinole Redevelopment Agency was previously for various commercial purposes; including a restaurant, a ceramics store, a trucking enterprise and a real estate office. Improper storage of hazardous materials and petroleum products was observed •^^•.'.

As part of the overall land transaction, the Board will also need to approve a MOREA and an agreement regarding ing future use of the Agency site with the Pinole Redevelopment Agency; city and county staff will prepare these documents over the next two months. If the Board of Supervisors authorizes both shelter projects, construction of the West County and Martinez shelters will occur simultaneously, with the smaller West County shelter scheduled for completion by February 2003. The County will nevertheless need to continue to occupy its existing Pinole facility until the new Martinez shelter is complete, as it will contain the additionalholding facilities needed for West County animals requiring veterinary services, rabies quarantine, or waiting euthanasia. Upon completion of the construction of the new Martinez shelter, which is now forecast for August 2003, West County animals will e transferred to the new Pinole facility, and the property on which the existing Pinoe facility is located will be transferred to the City of Pinole (or the Pinole Redevelopment`Agency). martinez and West County Animal Shelter Projects Project Casts and,Revenue Sources As sof January 45*2002 Current Ar sect C Cost Estimate Martinez Shelter Baseline Project Cast $ 9,666,0O0 West County Shelter Purchase of Property from Pinole Redeu Agency 293,003 Estimated On-Site larking Improvements(pro'-rata share) 193)000 Estimated Shelter Construction Casts (1) 1,600,O00 Additional Martinez Shelter Costs 588,000 Subtotal West County Shelter 2,674,0000 Total Casts 12, 39,000 ReXqraue giggrggg Martinez Shelter Sale of Existing Martinez Shelter to Central San 2,9301000 20010 Bond Funds 3,450,000 Forecast InterestEarnings on 2001B Bonds 203,000 State Appropriation for Martinez Shelter 112,O00 General Fund Appropriations (ERA,F return) 21970,O00 Subtotal - !Martinez Shelter 9,665,000 West County Shelter Sale of Existing Pinole Shelter to Pinole Redev Agency 725,000 Subtotal -West County Shelter 725,000 Total- Revenue Sources $' 10,390,000 Remaining Bond Funding Needed 1,94%000 Estimated Additional Annual Debt Service Cast (2) 164,000 Less Annual Departmental Salary Savings {160,OO€l) Annual Net County Cost $' 4,O00 (1)Includes$46,800 in pra'rata exterior shelf design costs and City plan check casts.

Due to the difference in elevation between the project site and the apartments located to the north theproposed project will not significantly impact their view.All parking lot lighting will be designed to direct light away from the adjacent apartments and should have little affect on nighttime views and glare. 5 Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No ' Impact', Inco anon Impact h act H. ' 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 agricultural and farmland. Would the project: a. Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland, v X 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'?(Soure#3) b4 Conflict with existing zoning for _ X agricultural use,or a Williamson Act contract?(Source#3) C.

Source#3) SUMMARY: The amount of vehicle trips the proposed change in land use will generate is consistent with the traffic analysis that was done for this site in the Environmental Impact Report that was prepared for the City of Pinole General Plan that was adopted in 1995. The proposed satellite animal control facility will be required to comply with Bay Area Air Quality Management District(BAAQMD) standards. The BAAQ D does not require quantification of construction emissions,but considers any project's construction related impacts to be less than significant if required dust control measures are implemented. As mitigated in The General Plan Land Use Map Mitigated Negative Declaration,'Resolution No. 124- 2000 for the City of Pinole Measure III b,dust control measures will be implemented at the construction site. Equipment exhaust emissions during construction will result from vehicular traffic generated by constuction activities, including automobiles transporting workers to and from the;project site,and from construction and grading equipment.

The project site is located on Imhoff Place at its intersection with Imhoff Drive, County of Contra Costa,just east of the City of Martinez. The Initial Study herein includes the location of the project site project sponsor's objectives, description of the proposed project,evaluation of the potential environmental impacts based upon established significance criteria and by qualitative criteria established as part of accepted CEQA practice and judgement, the findings from the environmental review, and any relevant mitigation measures to address significant impacts. The 2001 CEQA Environmental Checklist Form has been used as the basis for the preparation of the evaluation''contained in the Initial Study. The Initial Study specifically addresses the potential project-level physical environmental impacts that may result from the construction of the Animal Control Facility. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project to address potential impacts associated with the project. The Initial Study document and the proposed approval of a Negative Declaration, are subject to review and comment by responsive agencies and the:public`at-large. Part of the evaluation contained in the Initial Study is based on the Blum Road EIR, titled "First Stage Draft Environmental Impact Report Central County Corporation Yard Blum Road Area"(October 1988). The Blum Road EIR evaluated potential impacts to air quality, biological resources,cultural resources,geology and soils,hazards and hazardous materials,hydrology and water quality, land use planning,noise,traffic, population and housing,public services, recreation, and utilities and service systems. As applicable, environmental information and analysis has been"tiered"off of the Blum Road EIR consistent with CEQA guidelines. Contra Costa County will serve as the "lead agency" for the proposed project. Its Board of Supervisors will be responsible for approval of the environmental documentation and any subsequent approval of the Animal Control Facility project. 7131/01(PACCC 933\CCC 533,initialstudy.wpd) Project Description II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION REGIONAL LOCATION Located at the confluence of Interstate 680 and State Highway 4 the City of Martinez is situated in the unincorporated northern portion of Contra Costa County. (Figure 1) Martinez is the County seat of Contra Costa County. The City of Martinez is adjacent to the southwest boundary of the proposed facility,' while to the north, east and south are unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. Adjacent land uses include light and heavy industrial and County public facility areas. The County is expected to add 153,970 people from 1989 to 2005, for a:.total population of 930,205. (California Dept. of Finance,July 1990). The primary highways serving the area are State Highway 4 running generally east-west and State Highway 680 running generally north-south through the community. Major north-south streets include Pacheco Blvd. and Blum Road. Imhoff Drive connects the Pacheco area to the City of Concord,paralleling Highway 4. PROJECT SITE LOCA TION AND EXISTING CHARACTER' The proposed site address is 4800 Imhoff Place, which is perpendicular to Imhoff Drive near the Blum Road intersection. Imhoff Place is a cul-de-sac on the south side of Imhoff Drive and becomes a short access drive to the County Public Works maintenance facility to the north. The proposed construction of the new shelter would be implemented on an x, undeveloped site adjacent to the County Public Works Corporation Yard and the County General Services Department Fueling Station. (Figure 2)... The character of the site is industrial, with multiple uses in the area. In addition to the County Public Works maintenance yard and fueling station,there is the County Sanitary Sewer facility across the street, and soil and gravel operations close by. The existing animal control facility is less than one ei hth of a'mile south at the end of the Imhoff Place cul-de-sae. ., g , The property is owned by Contra Costa County. The site is undeveloped and has been used intermittently for.many years as`°a heavy equipment practice area for County employees.' There are no structures on the site. A driveway from Imhoff Drive provides access to the paved parking lot of the Public Works Corporation Yard. A,portion of the boundary with the Corporation Yard is landscaped'with trees and shrubs. The site is located on fairly level ground that slopes generally westward. The County of Contra Costa General Plan (1995)land use designation for the site is "Public and Semi-Public". The zoning designation for the"usable"project area of the 3'.5-acre site is`°Planned Unit .Development District" (P-1). The lands surrounding the undeveloped site includes light and heavy industrial uses,including the existing corporation yard and its associated offices. 7/31/01(PACCC 933\CCC 933 initialstudv.wpd) 2 8 Mendocino !

In 1998 the California State Legislature passed two bills, (SB1785 Hayden Bill) that increased holding period requirements for animals and(AB 1856 Vincent Bill) that increased spay/neuter requirements for animals. Bothbills were to take effect in July 1999,but numerous counties have requested extensions. The existing 2.2 acre animal control facilities''is located at 4849 Imhoff Place. New facilities would be required including additional kennels for dogs and cages for cats to comply with the bills.The spay/neuter clinic would also need to be expanded. The construction of the new Animal Control Facility would be required because the existing facility is too small for expansion and the existing buildings are too outdated (constructed in 1958) for necessary upgrades to meet current codes. A new state-of-the-art facility that complies with new State regulations for the provision of animal control facilities for the County is required. PR©,JECTDESCRIPTION The project proposes the relocation of existing facilities from 4849 Imhoff Place to 4800 Imhoff Place. The existing facility is situated approximately 300 yards to the south of the proposed site. A new facility that complies with current State regulations would be situated on 3.5 acres at 4800 Imhoff Place to replace older facilities on 2.2 acres at 4849 Imhoff Place'-. (Figure 3) The project would be constructed to include one single story office, public lobby,kennels,spay/neuter clinic, barn,stable,security fencing, landscaping,staff and public parking. The opening of the new animal control facility would accommodate approximately 250 animals; the present capacity is 100-150 animals. The shelter would provide control services for the surrounding areas of the County. The proposed project assumes that the Pinole Animal'Control Shelter may be closed. The new facility in Martinez has been designed to accommodate animals from the entire County.' Staffing would include 25- 30 personnel; no increase in personnel is projected at present. Facility hours would remain the same:'' 10.00'a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily except Wednesdays and Sundays. The main facility would be open 10:00 a.m.to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and closed on Sundays. The spay/neuter clinic inside the facility would be open from, 7:30 to 5:00,Monday through Friday. The night drop for animals would be open all hours that the facility is closed. Staff shifts at the facility would be staggered,employees would arrive between 7:00 a.m.. and noon. 7/31/01(PACCG 93ACCC 933 initiaistudy wpd) 5 t t /If �---— �. f Tf # wiw�tic�'• F'j r Jrw -M i � /YJy A` r �s J J I � f1111��D�� ©6-16-O CCC933I s te.cdr � � ) Figure 3 s' Martinez Animal Control Facility LSAN,t to scale Site Map Project Description Facilities The project would consist of a total of 35,036 square feet of new buildings. Unsuitable fill soils would be removed as necessary and replaced with more suitable materials. Gas heating would be provided for the buildings. Modern utilities (e.g., electricaI and plumbing) would be installed along with other improvements. The internal configuration of the main building would include'a large reception/adoption area with two large dog exercisespaces in the center of the facility. This area would be flanked by office space and veterinary examination rooms with dog and cat kennels, storage, and maintenance in the rear of the facility. The administrative offices would be on the south side of the main building along with the employee lockers and employee and volunteer lounge area. Main Facility A new building,consisting of 35,036 square feet, would be constructed with parking at both ends of the structure. The structure would include the following spaces: lobby and reception areas, adoption galleries,'classroom, offices,storage,staff lounge, men's ` and women's restrooms and locker rooms,veterinary offices, exam rooms and clinic areas, food storage and prep rooms,grooming, laundry and maintenance'rooms, six dog and six cat wards,three sick dog and two sick cat rooms, registry and.licensing ,I,; rooms, euthanasia'and freezer rooms, slight drop area, surrender lobby and waiting rooms, sally port,and approximately 2,972 square feet of clog exercise areas. There are additional spaces for Pinole dogs, cats and small animals. The main height of the building would be 17 feet. The adoption gallery near the entry r= of the building would have the highest roof line among the new animal control Z6. structures. The exterior facade is stucco finish. Barn and Corral The corral ''would be approximately 3,072 square feet and the barn is approximately 2,640 square feet. 'These would be located near the north end of the building on the west side of the parking lot. The exterior facade of the barn would be woodframe construction. y Other Facilities r .Access and Parking Facilities h„ Vehicle access to the facility would be provided from two driveways on Imhoff Drive. The west entry is an extension of Imhoff Place and is currently used as ancillary access for the County Public'Works Maintenance Facility.' Access to the Public Works Facility would remain unchanged. During pickupldrop off of animals,vehicles would enter and exit from the east end of the facility. A sally port at the north end of the facility would be the point of entry/exit for animals.'' A total of 83 spaces would be provided in the on-site lot for staff and visitor parking. Additional parking would be available on several streets adjacent to or near the facility. 7/31/01(P:\CCC 933\GCC 933 initialstudy.wpd) 7 u Project Description Fire/emergency accesswould''be provided from Imhoff Drive to the parking areas on either end'of the building. The County would install signage along local roadways to provide directions for motorists. As needed,pedestrian walkways within the site,the parking lots and night drop-off areas would be lighted for safety and security. The lighting would be shielded to prevent off- site glare. Controlled Substances The nature of the facility would require the use and storage of certain controlled substances. Some of the controlled substances would include firearms and ammunition, medical materials, tools:and drugs. These materials would be kept inside closed lockers in rooms with locked fire doors. Stored chemical materials for use in maintenance of the buildings and the landscaping would be locked in the maintenance room at the rear of the facility. As part of its ongoing program„the County would continue to manage use of these substances in accordance with manufacturers' requirements and to minimize the amounts that would be used to the extent practicable. In,frastructure Stormwater runoff and drainage from the project would be handled by existing - collection facilities in the eastern and western portions of the project site. The Contra Costa County Water District would supply potable water and the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District would provide wastewater treatment for the facility. Policing, emergency and fire protection services would also be handled by the County. Solid waste disposal would remain the same. Consistent with State Assembly Bill 939, the County would institute recycling and solid waste minimization measures for the operation of the Facility as part of an ongoing County-wide program. Biomedical waste and!sharps would continue to be picked up by a licensed outside contractor to the ' facility. Euthanized animals would also continue to be picked up by an outside licensed k. contractor,pick ups are an average of three times per week. Design,Site Preparation and Construction s. Plans and Permitting Prior to construction, detailed design`,plans for the construction of the Aminal Control Facility would be prepared. Plans would be consistent with the Uniform Building Code. Foundations and' materials would conform with requirements for adequate soils and seismic safety, consistent with the recommendations from the preliminary geotechnical report prepared for the County Corporation Yard project by Harding Lawson Associates (HLA)in 1988. Specific site recommendations for foundations, flooring,structure,paving,etc.would be provided by the architect. The proposed project would also meet;regulations (e.g.,fire lanes,emergency access) set forth by the is State Fire Marshall to maximize fire protection. 7/31/01(PACCC 933CCCC 933 uitigstudympd) 8 Project Description A detailed geotechnicalreport would be done for this specific site. The recommendations of the report would be implemented per specifics of the site and the proposed structures. Recommendations would include, but not be limited to grading, paving, drainage;foundations and site work.. Site Preparation Site preparation would include grading for foundations and finished elevations to meet the requirements of the American's with Disabilities Act. Cut.materials have been estimated to be about 700 cubic yards while fill would be approximately 8,100 cubic' yards. Much of the cut material would be redistributed on the site,extra fill materials would be imported. Approximately one acre of new impermeable area would be added to the proposed Animal Control Facility site from development. As applicable,a qualified geotechnical specialist would provide inspection of soils and foundation work and testing prior to and during construction. Construction Equipment K. Excavation, grading, and facilities development would require the use of excavators, backhoes, graders, dump trucks,loaders,compactors,dozers,pavers,concrete trucks, and other heavy'machinery. Erosion,Air Emissions and Noise Control The proposed project would incorporate measures to minimize'erosion,air emissions, dust and noise. Many of these measures are part of standard site preparation and construction practices on development projects. S: t Erosion Control Best Management Practices (BMPs) would be used to control erosion and excess sedimentation and to maintain water quality. These measures could include,but not be ted to, use of temporary silt detention basins,use of hay bales for reducing siltation fromany site runoff, check dams in roadways,timely covering and revegetation or landscaping of construction areas and street sweeping to remove soil from construction activities. As applicable,erosion control measures would be installed and in-place by October 15 to lessen the effects of construction during the rainy season. Any drainage -h` improvements would be completed prior to October 15. Control ofAirEmissions To minimize air quality impacts to the lowest practicable levels,Best Available Control Technology (BACTs) would he used by the contractor during site preparation and construction of the school project. Dust (particulate matter), and to a lesser extent other air emissions would be controlled by implementing some or all of the following measures; (1) preparing and adopting a comprehensive construction activity management plan to.most effectively use construction equipment and assure that it is properly maintained to minimize air emissions; (2)periodic watering,sprinkling or treatment of soils piles and unpaved site grading to prevent airborne dust from leaving t: 7131/01(PACCC 9331CCC 933 initialnudympd)' 9` Project Description the property, with increased watering whenever wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour; (3) covering or watering of all excavated materials transported off-site; (4) limiting on- site vehiclespeeds; (5)removing mud and soils from the tires of trucks and equipment; (6)planting of landscaping as soon as possible after initiation of project construction; and(7)sweeping of adjacent streets as needed to remove accumulated dirt. Noise Controls To reduce potential noise-related impacts from site preparation and construction activities,treasures would be incorporated as,part of the proposed project. These measures include: (1) scheduling of work during normal daytime'hours on weekdays. (except holidays) from 8:00 a.m, to 5.0(}p.m.,unless otherwise approved.; (2) snuffling or control of any loud construction equipment; (3) set back procedures with the highest noise potential away from any nearby sensitive land uses; (4)performing noisy procedures at an off-site location., as practicable,and.; (5)scheduling of construction so that structures can be partially finished for use as noise barriers. Health and Safety Measures Site;preparation and construction activities would be conducted consistent with Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA)and CaIC SHA regulations and local requirements to provide for worker and public safety. FY To protect the general public during construction,the proposed building areas would be fenced and signed and other appropriate pleasures taken to restrict public access. Applicable`regulatory and cautionary'signage(and personnel if required) along'local roadways and at the site entry would be put up to control,and/or wart local traffic about construction traffic and equipment use in the area of the Facility., When utility/service lines are to be connected,the appropriate agencies would be notified and procedures to protect/relocate the utilities would be implemented as part of the .', proposed project. Protection of Potential Cultural.Resources Since much of the area affected'by the proposed project and associated construction would be located within a highly disturbed site,it is unlikely that there are cultural resources that are existing within the property. A reconnaissance 4evel archeological' study was prepared by Holman and.Associates in 1988 for the site of the Central County Corporation Yard. The proposed site was included in that study. No evidence of archeological resources or historically significant'materials were observed. ` To ensure that there are no adverse effects upon potential,unknown cultural resources <- during site preparation and construction,work would be halted immediately if any such resources are uncovered. A cultural resource specialist would beconsulted and appropriate mitigation actions, consistent with the'CEQA Guidelines and federal requirements(e.g.,National Historic Preservation Act of 1966), would be taken. Measures may include, but not be limited to provision of setbacks and avoidance of the area until the extent of the impact andd any subsequent procedures can be determined' .z and implemented. 7131/01(P:\CCC 933\CCC 933 initiabtudy.wpd) 10 Project l.—ripsio- scheduling and.Financing Upon approval of the project by the County;the detailed design of the project would be completed hallowed by the initiation of construction in spring of 20301. The proposed facilities are scheduled to be completed by spring of 2002. The project would be funded by the bounty. F yy CONFORMANCE WITH PLANS AND POLICIES Y Contra Costa County General Flan and Zoning ; The Contra Costa County General Plan (t99 1) establishes goals, objectives,and policies to guide and implement current and future land use planning and growth within the:cornmunity and to preserve its character. Presently,the General Plan land use designation for the site is"public and semi-public"facility. The zoning for the usable area of the:facility site in which the project would be implemented is Planned Unit Development District(P-1). Consistent with the P'1 zoning,and application that includes preliminary and final development plans would be submitted for review and public hearing before the County Planning Commission. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor s would have final approval for the project, The proposed Animal Control'Facility would conform with the,requirements set forth in Contra Costa County Zoning Code. This Initial study information tiers off of the EIR:'prepared for the Blum Road Central County Corporation Yard. l.

A "No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced ''information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to a project 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). r 12) 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. K?` 13) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,less F' than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact is one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the F.. determination'is made, an EIR is required. P 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 XUII, `. "Earlier'Analysis," 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). In this case,'a brief discussion should identify the following: y 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).

RESPONSES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM The following explanations are presented in response to the items contained in Chapter III, CEQA Environmental Checklist Form. The explanations are keyed to the corresponding number and letter of the topic presented in the checklist. The discussion contained in the responses are predicated upon information and judgements from the lead agency. The determination of significance level is based uponn whether implementation of the proposed project would substantially affect the existing physical environmental setting. As appropriate, a reference or source for supportive information has'been cited within the response for each topic. I. AESTHETICS ETICS Significance Criteria Aesthetic impacts would be significant if the project resulted in obstruction of`any scenic view or vista open to the public,';damage to significant scenic resources within a designated State scenic highway,creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to the public,substantial degradation to the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surrounding, or generates new sources of light or glare that would adversely sof feet day'or nighttime view in the area, including that which would directly illuminate or reflect upon adjacent property or could be directly seen by motorists or persons residing, working or otherwise situated within sight of the project. The significance level maybe determined by the intensity of the lighting, u} Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? Less Than Significant Impact. The site is not within view of any scenic nista or highway. The animal control facility site is located on relatively flat ground that gently slopes to the east.The site was graded as part of the development of the County Public Works maintenance facility site. The structures at the existing maintenance facility, behind the proposed animal control facility,are visible at grade from Imhoff Drive and Imhoff Place. As discussed in the Blum Road-Central County Corporation Yard E R, the tallest existing structure at the maintenance facility is approximately 25 feet in height. In addition,there are a few trees along the perimeter of the County maintenance facility parking lot that partially screen the existing buildings. There are no views of the proposed facility site from the single-family residences on Blum Road. With development of the project, scenic views would not be significantly affected. Short-term and intermittent construction activities,particularly at the Imhoff Place access location, would be visible. The highest part (adoption gallery ceiling)of the new structure would be about 24 feet in height. This height would have little visual effect: since the bilk of the proposed facility would be substantially below the grade of the existing County maintenance facility buildings,which would effectively screen much of the animal shelter facilities from adjacent land uses. 7f31t01(PACCC 933\CCC 933 nitialstudy,wpd) 21 1 Responses to the Environmental C'hecklist'Form b) Substantially damage scenic resources within a State scenic highway? No Impact. Neither Imhoff Place nor Imhoff Drive, along the frontage of the proposed facility site, are designated State scenic highways, The site is not visible from either State Highway 4o Stare Highway 6804 c), Substantially degrade existing visual character or quality? Less Than Significant Impact. Development of the new facility would result in a less than significant impact to the existing visualcharacter or duality. There are already large ,public facilities adjacent to the site. The additional facilities would be smaller in scale than the current'structures and the architectural style,using stucco finish, would not substantially differ. Please also see item I.a,above. µ: d) Create new sources of light or glare that would affect views in the area? Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would result in new sources of light and glare. There would be short term sources of light and glare associated with construction activities. 'However,this source would not substantially affect views within the:area since it would be of relatively short duration. During operation of the new facility,there would be security lighting,glass reflections,'new building surfaces,and ' vehicles associated with use of the facilities. Consistent with the Blum Road EIR for minimal lighting, .most of the new light and glare sources would be confined to the property itself, shieldedlights would be utilized for security and,!night lighting;to minimize-off-site glare. Some additional light from autos could occur from evening drop-offs, but it would not be substantial since such events would be infrequent and of �e short duration. I.t AGRICULTURE RESOURCES Significance Criteria Project impacts to agricultural resources'would be significant'if it leads to direct or indirect loss of Prime Farmland,''Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance,defined by the California Department of Conservation,or conflicts with R existing agricultural zoning ora'Williamson Act contract. a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique.Farmland,or Farmland of Statewide Importance? NoImpact. The project'would'be implemented on a highly disturbed site not suitable for farming agricultural crops. The site is designated Public/Serpi-Public use.',leo impact would occur to agricultural lands. b) Conflict with existing agricultural zoning or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. Please see the response to item ll.a, above. 7131101(PACCC 933\CCC 933 inivalszudy.wpd) 22 Responses to the Environmental Cbecklist Farm c) Cause changes to environment that would lead to conversion of Farmland to non- agricultural use? No Impact. The project would not result in the indirect conversion of farmland to non- agricultural use. The project site is not suitable for agricultural crops and adjacent uses are already established public uses. IIT. AIR QUALITY Significance 0iteria Air quality impacts would be significant if the project does not conform with-an applicable air quality plan, violates an ambient air quality standard,contribute substantially to an existing or projected air,quality violation, exposes sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations,or creates odors that affect a substantial number of people. Tbe',primary source of air pollutant emissions associated with urban land uses is motor vehicles. Typically these land uses do not directly,produce significant amounts of air pollutants,,but they may resultin vehicle trips that generate adverse levels of "indirect"emissions that may affect air quality. The Bay area Air Quality Management District has developed significance thresholds fox air emissions under CEQA Guidelines They include: • Reactive Organic Compounds(R'OG)- 15 tonslyear or 80 pounds/day. • Nitrogen Oxides(,,VOx)-15 tons/year or 80 poundslday. • Fine particulate matter(PM10)-15 tons/year or 80 pounds/dozy. • Carbon Monoxide(CO)- 550 pounds/day. a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of applicable air quality plan? No Impact. The proposed facility site is within the jurisdiction of the Bay Area Quality Management'District(BAAQMD),which regulates air quality in the San Francisco Bay' Area. BAAQMD's Bay Area Clean Air flans contain district-wide control measures to reduce carbon monoxide and ozone precursor emissions. The State standards for these Pollutants are more stringent than the national'standards. The site has been included as part'of the(land uses within the Contra Costa County General Plan and therefore the air quality plan for the region. In addition, related land uses have been factored in as part of the air quality plan as well as the current and future population projections for the County. The facility relocation would not be inconsistent with the air quality plan nor conflict or obstruct its implementation. The project is intended to accommodate existing numbers of pets and animals,consistent with State regulations. ''There would be no net increase in animal/pet population associated with this project. Measures adopted as part of the project to control air emissions during construction activities would be consistent with BAAQMD guidelines. 7/31/0 (PACCCC 933\CCC 933 initWstudy,wpd) 23 Responses to tbeEnvironmental CbecklutForm b) Violate'any air quality standard or contribute to an existing or project air quality violation? Less Than Significant Impact. Given the project,scale and its relatively short duration of construction,BAAQMD significance thresholds for RQG,NOx,CO, and PM10 would not be exceeded during either construction activities or the operation of the Animal Control Facility. Project development would result in short-term emission of particulates from site preparation and construction along with a small quantity of pollutants from construction equipment. To minimize the local impacts from construction activities, measures for dust suppression and combustion'engine emissions control have been incorporated as part of the proposed project. Potential adverse effects during site preparation and construction would be less than significant with incorporation of these measures and other BNTs consistent with measures identified by the BAAQMD. The relocation of the facility would not result in a violation of an air quality standard. The facilities'would'be a continuation of an established animal control operation'. Based upon the BAAQMD Guidelines,'examples of projects with potentially significant operational threshold emissions include approximately 375 new single-family housing units,general office)development of 305,000 square feet,or a'community college with 345,000 square feet of developed floor area. The proposed project would total approximately 3.5 acres,which includes the building footprint of 28,469 square feet, parking and driveways of approximately 37,150 square feet, and corral and barn areas of approximately 5,715 square feet. c) .Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the region is in non-attainment? Less Than Significant Impact. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable increase of any criteria pollutant for which the region is in nonattamment. Currently the Bay Area is in attainment for federal Clean Air Act standards while it violates State standards for ozone (one-hour) and suspended particulates. The project would incrementally add to emission levels of these contaminants (particulates during construction,possibly ozone during operation), but the amount would not be significant,given the relatively small scale of the project and incorporated measures to reduce emissions. Furthermore,the facilities would be the relocation of animal control services that currently exist at a'site located approximately' 300 yards from the proposed site. A.relatively minor number of additional trips may occur as a result of the consolidation of the present Pinole facility. s, d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? 4. Less 7ban Significant Impact. There are no hospitals,senior facilities or similar sensitive receptor locations in the immediate vicinity. Public facilities surround the site. Because of the relatively short duration of construction and measures incorporated into the €. project to control particulates to the extent practicable,potential air quality impacts would not be significant. There would be no impacts from substantial pollutant concentrations during future operation of the facility. Like the current facilities, minor K emissions would be generated by pick up/drop off and periodic deliveries. 7/31/01(PACCC 933\CCC 933 initialstudy.wpd) 24 Responses to the Environmental Cbecklist Form e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Less Than Significant Impact There may be some objectionable odors from the operation of diesel-powered equipment during construction of theproposed facilities. However,these odors would be limited to the short-term construction period of the project and would not be significant. Future facility operation would not create objectionable odors. Waste products''would` be containedinside the facility and disposed of as pare of general waste that is contained' in dumpsters'outside. Dutnpster contents at the present facility are removed each week by an outside refuse service contracted through the General Services Division of Contra Costa County. Services would remain the same at the new facility location. Presently carcasses from road kills as well as euthanized animals are stored in a cold room inside the facility and then removed three times'per week by',a State'licensed outside contractor. 'Carcasses are taken by the contractor to a facility in Sacramento where they are processed into fertilizers and animal feed products. Procedures would not change in the operation of the new facility. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Significance Criteria Project impacts upon biological resources would be significant i,f any of the following resulted.• •substantial direct or indirect effect on any species identified as a candidate,sensitive,or special status species in local/regional plans,policies,or regulations,or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service;' • substantial effect upon sensitive natural communities identified in local/regional plans,policies,or regulations or by agencies above; substantial effect(e.g.,fill, removal, hydrologic interruption)upon federally protected -wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act; • substantially interfere with movement of native resident or migratory wildlife species or with established native'resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede use of native wildlife nursery sites; • conflict with any local policies/ordinances that protect biological resources(e.g., tree preservation policy or ordinance); conflict with provisions ofan adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,Natural Community Conservation.Plan,or other approved habitat conservation plan. a) Effect on candidate, sensitive,or special status species? No Impact. Implementation of the proposed project would take place on a highly disturbed site that was graded as part of the Phase One development of the adjacent County Maintenance facility in 1989. In addition,the site has been continuously worked by County employees as a grading practice area utilizing heavy equipment. The proposed site is surrounded by existing public use and industrial facilities. 7/31/O1(P:\CCC 933\CCC 933 initialstudy wpd) 25 .-�- Responses to the Environmental Checklist Form There is no natural habitator natural community on the property.' The site is devoid of vegetation except for a feta specimens of weedy invasive species. There is no vegetation in the man-trade drainage swale on the north side of the property. There are no known candidate,sensitive,or special status species present on the site that would be significantly impacted. b) Substantial effect on any sensitive''natural communities? No Impact. Please see the response to item IV.a, above. e) Substantial effect upon federally protected wetlands ander Section 404? No Impact. Please see the response to item Ma, above. d) Interfere with movement or migratory corridors of'native residents or migratory species or use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact, The project would be developed on a previously disturbed site that is devoid of vegetation or habitat spaces. Please see the response to item Ma,above. e) Conflict with any local policiesfordinances protection biological resources? No Impact. Please see the response to item IV.a, above. f) Conflict with Habitat Conservation Plan or other approved conservation plan?' No Impact. There is no Habitat Conservation Plan or other;approved conservation plan that is applicable to the site or the project. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES Significance'Criteria A significant'impact to cultural resources would occur if implementation of the project would cause a substantial change to a historical or archaeological resource pursuant to Section 15064.5 of the CEQA Guidelines,'the destruction of a unique paleontological resource,site or unique geological feature,or disturbs any human remains. a) Substantial effect upon historical resource? No Impact The proposed project would occur on the vacant portion of the County maintenance facility site. No historical resources would be affected by the new facility. The scale of the project would be consistent with the one-story structures currently on the adjacent site. 26 7131/01(P:\C0C 933\CCC 933 initialstudy.wpd) Responses to the Environmental Checklist Form g. b) Substantial effect upon an archaeological resource? No Impact. The proposed project location was surveyed by Holman and Associates as part of the Blum Road FIR, October, 1988. No evidence of archaeological materials or - significant historical materials was noted. The site has been highly,disturbed and there r; are no known archaeological or other cultural resources on the property. If such resources are found'during construction, measures have been incorporated as part of the proposed project to lessen any potential impacts to a less than significant level. c) Destroy unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? No Impact. Please seethe response to item V.b,above. There are no unique geologic features on the site. The site is underlaid by bedrock except',for the southeast portion, which'is mantled by fine-grained'alluvium(Qaf). Qhaf is described as unconsolidated,' plastic,moderately to poorly sorted silt and clay,rich in organic material. According to the USGS reap of Contra Costa County,the site is mapped as undifferentiated alluvium (Qu). There are no known paleontological resources associated with the kinds of soils underlying the site.: d) Disturb any human remains? No Impact. Please see the response to item V.b above. VL GEOLO.GYAND SOILS Significance Criteria A si i}scant geologic impact would occurifa project exposed people or structures tob major geologic hazards such as earthquake damage(rupture,ground shaking,ground failure,landslides,slope and/or oundation instability,erosion, soil instahili or other f � ) �' .� ty, ty, problems of a geologic nature. x a) Expose people or structures to the following: i) .Rupture of a known earthquake fault as delineated by Atquist-.Priolo F Earthquake Fault Zoning Map or other substantial information? No Impact. The proposed project site isnot located within an Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone (formerly known as a Special Studies Zone, SSZ) where a,major fault rupture could occur. In July of 1974,the State Geologist issued the official SSZ maps of the Concord Fault (Port Chicago,Walnut Creek and Clayton quadrangles). In July of 1977,the snap of the Port Chicago quadrangle (now called the Vine Mill quadrangle)was revised. The Concord Fault lies to the east of the proposed facility site. The official SSZ map' identifies two suspected traces located approximately'1750 and 3750 feet east of the site, respectively. Fault traces on the SSZ reap are inferred and are based chiefly on reconnaissance-level data that are variable in quality. These traces were used to define the width and trend of the SSZ. No mapped traces pass through the site. The site is not in the SSZ and therefore does not fall into the authority of the Alquist-Priolo Act. However,the proximity of the site to an active fault indicates that the proposed structures would be 7/31/01(P.\CCC 933\CCC 933 initia6udy wpd) 27 Responses to rhe Environmental Checklist form subject to strong ground shaping in the event of a high magnitude earthquake on the Concord/Green Valley fault. ii) Strong seismic shaking? Less Tban Significant Impact. The proposed site is located within the San Francisco Bay Area,a region where strong seismic groundshaping'could occur during moderate to severe earthquakes. According to the Blum Road-Central County Corporation Yard EIR the fault that is closest is the Concord/Green Valley Fault, approximately 1,500 feet to the east of the project site. Many different .materials and soil types have been brought'onto the site to be used for grading practice consistent with the 1988 EIR, a detailed geotechnical site survey of the actual project area would be conducted to characterize subsurface conditions and identify geologic factors and soil conditions that may affect the proposed development of the site. The geotechnical survey and report would mare specific recommendations for development of the property, including grading and drainage plan review. The survey would also make an analysis and recommendation of the liquefaction.potential. Structures on fill or settlement areas would be most susceptible to damage from ground shaking. With conformance to the California Uniform Building Code and design standards of the construction, adoption of specific recommendations from the'detailed geotechnical report the potential for damage from seismic shaping would be reduced to a less than significant level. iii. Seismic-related ground failure,including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact. A site-specific geotechnical investigation of the project site would determine the seismic-related ground failure potential from lurching,differential compaction:and liquefaction. The project would be consistent with the California Uniform Building Code for design and construction and would adopt the recornmendations'from the geotechnical report, thereby reducing the potential for damage from seismic-related ground failure to a less than significant level. iv, Landslides? No Impact.I The site is relatively flat so that there would be no impact from landsliding. Please also see items Vl.iii Vl.i,above. ' b) '',Result in soil erasion or the lass of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact The site has already been mass graded to create the grades and pads necessary to accommodate the planned uses in phase one of the Central County Corporation.Yard development. The geotechnical investigation will identify the susceptibility of sail erosion potential on the site. Permeable areas would be planted with landscaping to avoid potential soil loss.' Approximately one additional acre(parking and drives) of the site would be impermeable, further minimizing the possibility of erosion. As part of the proposed project,measures have been incorporated''to minimize soil erasion or,loss of topsoil to the extent practicable;from the;site to is less than significant impact. Consistent with sound construction practices and regulatory guidelines for Best 7/34A)i(PACCC 933\CCC 933 initialscudy.wg 28 Responses to the Environmental Cbecklist Form Management Practices(BNTs), measures would include,but may not be limited to,the use of temporary detention basins, hay bales and/or silt fencing for reducing siltation from runoff,timely covering or landscaping, restricting grading to the dry season,and street sweeping. c) Located on unstable geologic unit or soil or such instability caused by project? ;. Less Than Significant Impact. Please see the responses to items Vl.a.iii and iv, above, concerning geological instability and characteristics of site soils. 3= d) Located on expansive soil as defined by the Uniform Building Code? Less nan Significant Impact. Please see the response to item VT.a.i' ,'above.The J geotechnical study would indicate the degree of plasticity of the soils beneath the site. Any fill soils that could pose a hazard would be removed and suitable backfill placed to reduce any hazards from soils to a'less than significant impact. e) Soils incapable of adequately supporting septic tank or other non sewer use? No Impact. Wastewater from the proposed project would be collected by an existing lime for treatment at the Contra Costa County Sanitary District plant. Septic tanks or other' non-sewer stems would not be used. VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Significance Criteria A significant impact to the environment and the public associated'with hazards and hazardous materials would result from a project if any of the following occurred. • creation of a significant hazard to the public or environment by routine transport,use or disposal of hazardous materials or from foreseeable upset and accident conditions, • emission and/or handling of'hazardous,acutely hazardous materials,'substances,or, waste within 114 anile of-an existing or proposed school; N • location of a project on a listed hazardous materials site compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5; • location in an airport land use plan or two miles from a public airport; location in vicinity of private airstrip, • impairment✓interference with adopted emergency response plan or emergency. s � evacuation plan; exposure to wildland fire hazard. r a) Hazard from routine transport,use, and disposal of hazardous materials? Less Than Significant Impact. The development''of buildings on the site could result in an incremental increase in the use of cleaning agents, solvents paints and other hazardous materials that are routinely used for facility maintenance and repairs. However,staff would already be aware(or be rnade aware of)the safe use and disposal of these chemicals. No significant impact is expected from the routine use and disposal of these materials. 7f31101(RACC1C 93ACCC 933 initialstudy.wpd) 29 Responses to the Environmentat Checklist Form Medical sharps and medical waste would continue to be picked up by an outside contractor specifically State licensed for disposal of these materials,consistent with operations of the present facilities. fir) Lazard resultingfirom reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving release of hazardous materials into environment?' Less 7han Significant Impact. The change in place of operation of the,animal control facility,would.not result in the significant''release of hazardous materials into the environment. Only an incrementally greater amount of such substances would be used for routine maintenance and repairs (please see item VI'.a,above). c) Emit or handle hazardous/acutely hazardous materials emissions,materials,substances or waste within one-quarter mile of existing or proposed school? No impact. The project site is not 'within one-darter mile of an existing or proposed school. No significant levels of hazardous materials/wastes would be emitted during operation of the facility. (please see item VLa, above). d) Located on a site included on list of hazardous materials sites?' No Impact. The project site is located on a highly disturbed but undeveloped area adjacent to the County Public Works Maintenance Facility site. It is not included on a known list of hazardous materials sites. e) .Located within'an airport use plan or within two miles of public airport? Less Than Significant Impact The project site is not located within an adopted airport use plan but it is within two miles of a public airport. The nearest airport facility is Buchanan Meld, approximately one mile to the east of the site. The project site is well outside both the safety buffer zone and the airport use plan for Buchanan Meld. Located within vicinity of a private airstrip? No Impact. The proposed Animal Control.Facility site is not located near a private airstrip. ,Impair or interf°ere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? No Impact. The proposed project would be developed:adjacent to an existing County Maintenance Facility site. The operation of the facilities would not substantially affect coordination with present emergency response or emergency evacuation plans already in- place and coordinated with the County. h) Expose people or structures to significant risk ofildland f tres? No Impact. Since the proposed project would occur within a highly;developed,area of the County with several public use facilities already in place, the risk of wildland fires would not be;significant. In addition,single-family residential and heavy industrial uses, rather than- ildlands,surround the project site. 7/.31/01(PACCC 4331CCC 933 initialstudy.wpd) 30 ...................... ..... ....... ......... .............. . ..... .... . . Responses to the Environmental Cbecklist.Form V111 HYDROLOGYAND WATER QUALITY Significance Criteria Significant impacts associated with hydrology and water quality would resultfrom a Project if water quality standards or waste discharge requirements were violated; groundwater and surface water quality and quantity were substantially altered;drainage patterns.were substantially altered that would increase erosion1siltation and increase surface runoff;increase runoff that would exceed capacity of existing orplanned drainage systems or add a substantial source ofpollution;located in a 100-yearfloodplain;or expose people to hydrological bazards such asflooding or inundation by seiche, tsunami, or muddow. a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Less 7ba,n Significant Impact. The development of the project would not significantly affect any water Quality standards or waste discharge requirements. Runoff from the animal control facility site would continue to flow into County stormwater drainage facilities. During site preparation there is a potential for sediments from grading and foundation work to erode and run into the existing drainage facilities, In addition,there would be an increase of approximately one acre of impermeable area after development of the facility. To lessen these possible impacts to a less than significant level,the proposed project incorporates measures to address off-site runoff during construction. Please see the response to item VI.b, above. During operation of the facility,a relatively minor increase in impermeable urban area and associated urban contaminants (e.g.,fertilizers, oil) is not expected to significantly affect water quality or discharge requirements, Consistent with operation of the current animal shelter facilities,the County would continue to manage the-application of such items as herbicides,paints,fertilizers,and other materials used for typical inaintenance of the facility. b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge? Less 7'han Significant Impact. Development of the proposed project would not substantially deplete any sources of groundwater or interfere with its discharge� The characteristics of the lands adjacent to the proposed animal control facility site are not conducive to groundwater recharge; much of the area is already covered with buildings and impermeable surfaces. Most of the runoff flows eastwardly to existing County stormwater facilities. The additional one acre of impermeable area resulting from the pro er-t would not lead to a significant round-water supplies. impact upon g c) Substantidl,y alter existing drainage patterns leading to substantial erosion or sedimentation? No Impact. Consistent with the topographic character of the site,runoff would still continue to drain toward the eastern portion of the site and into County drainage facilities, There would be no significant alteration to existing drainage patterns.that would lead to substantial erosion. The project would result,mL the covering of much of 7/31/01(PACCC 933\CCC 933 initialstudy:wpd) 31 ........... ........ ..................... Responses to&Environmental Cbecklist Form the site, -which could-reduce any existing erosion. In addition, measures to minimize erosion during construction have been incorporated as part of the project. d) Substantially alter existing drainage patterns leading to substantial increase in ratelamo Unt of surface runoff that would cause on-site or off-site flooding? Less Yban Significant Impact. The current drainage facilities would have the capacity to handle1he incremental increase in runoff from the project caused by the additional one acre ofimpermeable area. Drainage patterns would not be significantly altered by the project-and no significant on-or off-site flooding is expected tooccur. The site is outside of the 100-year flood area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. e) Create or contribute runoff that would exceed ca acity of existing drainage system or p - - provide substantial additional sources ofpolluted runoff.? Less Than Significant Impact. The project would not result in an exceedance of drainage capacity nor would it lead to a substantial increase in sources of polluted runoff. Some additional.runoff with pollutants could result from vehicles in the parking areas. However, the operation of the new facilities would be similar to the existing facilities, Please see the response to item VM.d,above,concerning drainage capacity and item VM.a,about the quality of the runoff. OtherwiseSubstantially degrade water quality? Less Than Significant Impact. Please see the response to item M.a, above. g) Place hous ing within 1 00-year flood hazard area(as mapped on federal Flood Hazard Boundary,170odInsurance Rate Map, or other delineated map)? No Impact. The Animal Control Facility site is not within a 100-year floodplain according to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRTV� of unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County(October, 1988)nor is housing a part of the project. h) Place structures within 100-year flood hazard area that would impede or redirectflood flows? No Impact. Please see the response to item VIII.g,above. i) Expose people or structures to significant risks from flooding as a result of levee or dam failure? No Impact. There are no dams or levees within the area that could fail and cause flooding of the project site. The site is in the-western portion of Contra Costa County and the,exposure to the risk of flooding from the result of levee or dam failure is considered remote. j) Inundation by seiche.tsunami. or mudflow? 7/3 1/0 1(PACCC 933NCCC 93 3 inidalstudy.-wpd) 32 . . ........... ...... ...... .................... ......................... Responses to the Em4ronmental Checklist Form No Impact. The project site (approximately 30 feet above mean sea level) is not in close proximity to the ocean or to a large body of water(e.g.,lake,reservoir) that would pose a hazard from either a tsunami or a seiche. The nearest major bodies of water are the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay to the west,Suisun Bay to the north, and Walnut Creek to the east�� All of these water bodies are well below the elevation of the proposed site. The animal control facility site is in an urbanized area surrounded by light and heavy industrial and public uses. In addition,much of the acreage is underlain by bedrock near the surface. There is little chance of a mudflow on the animal control facility site, IX.LAND USE AND PLANNING Significance Criteria Significant land use impacts would occur if theproject substantially conflicted with established uses,disrupted or divided an established community, or resulted in a substantial alteration to presen t or planned land uses. Proposed project consistency with the Contra�Costa County General Plan and zoning,and other aMicable environmental plans andpolicies is also evaluated in making a determination about potential land use impacts. a) Physically divide an established community? No Impact.. The project would not physically divide an established community. The proposed site is designated public facility and is surrounded by light and heavy industry and other public facilities. b) Conflict with land use plan,policy or regulation ofjurisdictional agency? No Impact.. As part of the original Blum Road project,the Contra Costa County:Board of Supervisors rezoned the entire project area,including the proposed 3.5-acre animal shelter site, as a Planned Unit Development District. Under this zoning,the animal shelter project is subject to development plan review and approval. As part of the proposed roject, a preliminary and final development plan and associated application p would be submitted for review and public hearing before the County planning Commission. The Board of Supervisors would have subsequent final approval of the project. c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? No Impact The project site is the approximately 3.5 usable acres adjacent to the County Public'Works Corporation yard. There are no known habitat conservation or natural cornmunity conservation plans that would be applicable to the site. X. MINERAL RESOURCES Significance Criteria Impacts to mineral resources would be substantial if the proposed project resulted in the loss ofsignificant or locally important mineral resources. 7/31/01(PACCC 933\CCC 933 inizialstudy.wpd) 33 .. . ........ Responses to the Environmental Checklist Form a) .Loss of known'mineral resource of regional and State value? No Impact. The existing site has no known significant minerals. b) gess of locally import mineral resource site delineated in local plan? No Impact. There are no known locally significant minerals and the site is not designated as a mineral resource in the Contra Costa County General flan.' XI. NOISE' Significance Criteria 7'he ContraCosta County General Plan has set forth noise standards and policies that would be applicable for various bind uses and construction activities. Implementation measures include thefollowing. evaluating the noise impacts of a proposed project upon existing land uses in terms of the applicable.Federal,State,and local codes,and the potential for adverse community response,based on a significant increase in'existing noise levels,mitigation measures including site planning,architectural layout of buildings,noise barriers,and construction modifications. a) .exposure to or generation o,f noise levels in excess of established standards?' Less'7han Significant For the commercial uses surrounding the animal control facility site, noise levels are typically about 65-70 dB (in decibels). Generally,a change in noise level of less than three dBA.(decibels,weighted average) is not discernible to most people. Average.noise level increase of from three to five dBA are clearly discernible to most while five dBA or greater is considered to be significant. Loud noise during evening and early morning hours (i.e., 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.)account for the period of greatest sensitivity for most individuals). There are two considerations relevant to increases in existing noise levels---short-terra construction noise and facility operational noise. Construction of the project would add short-term,liaise from equipment and vehicles. Within 0 feet from the noisiest source, noise levels'from construction activities(e.g., use of mechanical equipment) associated with the develop aerat of the structures could average from about 70 to 95 decibels (average weighing or dBA). Noise is attenuated substantially by distance. With each doubling of distance,there is a reduction of six dBA. In addition, commercial exteriors,windows, and insulation would.furtherdecrease noise to resident workers. Employees at the Central County Corporation Yard could be affected by''construction'period noise,but this is not expected to be significant'as it would be short-term. Construction would not takeplace during evening and early morning hours,the period of greatest sensitivity to the neighborhood. To further llessen construction noise, treasures have been incorporated into theproposed project so that noisier activities;are as far as practicable from sensitive land uses or conducted off-site as feasible. Iia addition,noisier activities would be scheduled to minimize noise during sensitive periods of the day. The proect would also incorporate BIM's and BACT's (e.g.,lower truck speeds,maintenance of equipment,scheduling of work at normal work hours)to further reduce short-terse noise impacts. 7/31/01(PACCC 9331CCC 933"untialstu fy_wpd) 34 � i Responses to the EnvironmentalChecklist Form During the post-construction operation of the animal control facility,there would be no significant,noise impacts.' The animals would be housed in indoor kennels and cages. There would be some animal drop-offs during facility after-hours. The typical loading/unloading time would last about ten minutes each and would occur within the parking lot of the facility. In addition;there would be some minor periodic noise from unloading/loading and deliveries associated with normal facility hours of operation. b) Exposure or generation of excessive'groundborne vibration or noise levels? Less Than Significant 17npact. Development of the proposed project would not result in excessive groundborne vibration or noise levels. There may be relatively minor vibration from the use of trucks or grading equipment and possibly from foundation work during construction activities. However,noise from such equipment would be intermittent and short-term,especially given the relatively small scale'of the project. Please see item XI.a, above,about noise levels. e) Substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels caused by the project? Less Than Significant Impact. There would be no substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels from the post-project facilities. Relatively minor noise from associated facility activities(animal loading/unloading and materials delivery) would occur. Please see the response to item XLa, above. d) Substantial temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels? Less Than Significant Impact. Temporary and intermittent noise from construction activities associated with the development of the project would occur. The level would be elevated compared to existing ambient noise at the proposed project site.However,' the noise would be short-term and would be substantially set back from existing residences to the southwest. Please seethe response to item XI.a, above concerning measures to''lessen'noise that have been incorporated into the project. e) Located within adopted airport land use plan or two miles of public airport? Less than Significant Impact. The animal control facility site is not located within an adopted airport land use plan area but it is within two miles of a public airport.'The runway of the nearest public airport,Buchanan Field, is one mile from the proposed facility. However;the project would be well outside of the airport buffer zone.' fl Within vicinity of a private airstrip? No Impact. The proposed animal control facility site is not within the vicinity of any known private airstrip. XII. POPULATIONAND SID HO USING Significance Criteria Population and housing imparts would be significant if the project induced substantial direct or indirect(e.g.,road extensions)papulatZo - n growth in an area and displaced 7/31/01(PACCC933 CCC 933 nitialstu ,wpd) 35 Response;to the Envirnnmental Checklist Form substantial numbersof existing houses and/car substantial numbers of people, thus requiring replacement housing elsewhere. a) Induce substantial director indirect population growth in an area? No Impact. The relocationproject would accommodate existing animal populations in accordance with State regulations and would be available for projected increases in animal populations within the County. The proposed project is intended to provide modernized and improved facilities for staff and animals within Contra Costa County. No net increase in animal numbers at the facility would occur as a result of the project.' There may eventually be a relatively minor increase in staff resulting from the relocation of the facility, but this is not projected at this time. b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing?' No Impact. The proposed project would be constructed on an undeveloped portion of County owned lands adjacent to the existing Public Works maintenance facility site. Nig existing housing would be displaced. c) Displace substantial numbers of people? No Impact. The development of the project would be on existing County-owned lands adjacent to the public works maintenance facility. No persons would be displaced by the project. XIII. PUBLIC SER VICES Significance Criteria Impacts to public services would be significant if the project resulted in adverse physical impacts upon capacity that would lead to construction of new public facilities or substantial alteration of existing governmental facilities to maintain acceptable service levels or performance levels. a) Substantial physical impacts associated with provision of new or physically altered' governmental facilities to maintain acceptable service for following: ;Fire protection? No Impact. The Contra Costa County Consolidated Fire District would continue to provide protection to the relocated animal control facility. The implementation of the proposed project would not result in the need to expand the existing fire facilities or the purchase of new equipment. The facilities would be substantially upgraded. There is adequate water for fire flow requirements from domestic water service. .Police Protection? No Impact. Police protection for the community,including the existing animal control facility,is provided by the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department. There would be 7f31I01(PACCC 433\CCC 933 initialstudy.wgd) 36 Responses to the Environmental Checklist Form no need to create or expand existing police protection facilities or manpower due to the relocation of the facility. Schools? No lmpact. The proposed project is the modernization and relocation of the County animal control facility. There would be no impacts to schools. Parks? No Impact. The development of the project would have no impacts upon existing park' facilities. The facility relocation''would have no impact on existing park facilities within the County.J Other public,facilities? No Impact There would be no substantial impacts from the project upon any other known public facilities or services. XIV. RECREATION a) Increase use of existing parks and other recreational facilities that would cause substantial physical deterioration to occur or be accelerated? No Impact The animal control facility relocation project would have no impact,on the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities that would lead to their physical deterioration. b) Would project include'recreational facilities construction or expansion that would cause substantial physical impacts? No Impact The project would not include the construction''or expansion'of recreational facilities. XV. 7"RAN'SPOR TA77ONITRAFFIC Significance'Criteria 7be Contra Costa County General Plan Circulation Element does not contain specific level of service(LOSS)criteria for its local streets. Significant impacts would include the following.- - ollowing.-substantial changes in traffic patterns resulting in a safety risk. -substantial increased hazards from design or incompatible use. -inadequate emergency parking. -inadequate parking capacity. - conflicts w1th piolicies,plans,and progra s for alternative transportation. 713 1/0 I(P:\CCC 933\CCC 933 initialstudy,wg 37 ............... Responses to the Environmental Cbecklist Form a) Cause substantial increase in traffic compared to existing traffic load and capacity of the street system? Less Than S nificant Impact Imhoff Drive is an east-west two-lane road connecting �ig Blum Road and the Pacheco area with Highway 4 and the City of Concord. Imhoff Place is a cul-de-sac that dead ends south of Imhoff Drive; to the north of Imhoff Drive it extends and provides access to the County Public Works maintenance facility. The driveway to the County maintenance facility would become the parking lot of the ro' p Ject and continue to provide ancillary access to the maintenance facility. Adjacent to the project site on-street parking is available on Imhoff Drive. Imhoff Drive provides access to the project site from nearby industrial and residential areas. On-street arking p is permitted on both sides of Imhoff Drive and Imhoff Place. The Imhoff Drive/Imhoff Place intersection is controlled with a stop sign on Imhoff Place. The proposed relocation of the existing facility is not estimated to generate substantial additional daily trips. No additional staff are planned and there will be no change in facility use or policy as the result of relocation of the facilities. The present facility staffs 25-30 eople.This number is not expected to change in the immediate future,however P the facility could staff up to four additional people on an as-needed basis. Parking facilities would include 83 spaces: 25-30 spaces for personal vehicles, up to 24 spaces for staff vehicles. This would leave between 29-34 parking spaces for visitors and volunteers There would be no additional a.m. and p.m. peak hour trips generated by the relocation of the facilit . As in the current operations,staff shifts would be staggered and would y not correspond with facility operational hours. The primary trips generated by the new facility would continue to be staff and visitors driving to and from the facility and clinic. As previously discussed,the relocation of the animal control facility would not constitute additional animal population growth in the County. However,the proposed project assumes that the Pinole services would be consolidated as part of the project. As a result,-animals destined for that facility would be taken to the relocated facility in Martinez. In this instance some vehicle trips generated by the new animal control facility -would be new local trips. b) Exceed,individually or cumulatively, an established level of service standard? No Impact. There would be no change in the level of service standard from the existing condition to the proiect condition. Therefore there would be no impact. c) Change air traftic patterns,resulting in a substantial safety risk? No Impact. Buchanan Field is located to the east,.within one mile of the proposed project. However, the new animal control facility would be located less than one eighth of a mile north of its present location. d) Substantially increase hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses? Less nan S nificantImpact. Due to the topography of the area, slight roadwaygrades ig exist along Imhoff Place and Imhoff Drive. The proposed facility driveway(the existing 7/3 1/01(PNCCC 933\CCC 933 inifialstudy.wpd) 38 ................................ Responses to the Environmental Checklist Form County Public Works maintenance facility driveway) -would have access from Imhoff Drive. The location of the existing driveway,allows for adequate vehicle turn movements into and out of the proposed facility. Adequate sight distance exists at the project driveway(s)- e) Result in inadequate emergency access? No Impact. The proposed project would not alter emergency access to nearby uses. Emergency access would be provided to the facility via the parking lots off of Im—hoff Drive. The parking lots would also provide emergency access to the rear of the County Public Works maintenance facility. Result in inadequate parking capacity? No Impact. The project site contains approximately 83 parking spaces. During regular facility hours,there is a parking demand of approximately 25-30 vehicles(i.e.,the existing number of staff members). Therefore, 53 parking spaces would be adequate to accom- modate visitors i)arkine on site. The proposed project would not have a significant impact on parking on the adjacent streets. g) Conflict witb.policies,plans,or programs for alternative transportation? No Impact. The proposed project would not conflict with any adopted policies,plans, or programs for alternative transportation. XVI. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS Significance Criteria Impacts to.utilities and service systems would be significant if the proposedproject results in a physical need to develop new systems or causes a substantial physical alteration to existingJacilities. a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality ControlBoard? No lmpacL Implementation of the project would not cause an exceedance of wastewater quirements of the local Regional Water Quality Control Board. There could treatment.re be an incremental increase in the demand for wastewater treatment over time if the facility meets its capacity. The relocation of the animal control facility-would not result in an immediate net gain in staff or resident animals. An increase in the wastewater load that would need to be treated by the County would be planned for as part of the overall facility expansion. (see item XVI,b, below). 7/3t/Gi(P:\CCC 933\CCC 933 inifiAstudy.wpd) 39 ............ Respmes'to the Environmental Checklist Form b) Require or result in construction or expansion of water or Wastewater treatment facilities that could cause significant environmental impacts? No Impact. The development of the site would not result in substantial environmental impacts resulting from the need to construct or expand water or wastewater treatment facilities. The Contra Costa County Water District,which has sufficient potable water for the relocated facility;(with average consumption of about 15 gallons per person/day plus water for animalfacilities and landscaping)along with adequate fire flows,would serve the relocated animal control facility site. c) Require or result in the construction or expansion of stormwater drainage facilities that could,cause significant environmental impacts? Less Than Significant Impact. As part of the proposed project,no substantial construction or expansion of storrnwater drainage facilities would be required. The project would connect with existing storm-water drains that currently Handle runoff from the developed facility site. There is sufficient capacity in these storm-water facilities for the'additional 1.8 acres of impermeable area;that would result from the proposed facility project. d) Sufficient water available or are new or expanded entitlements needed? No l'mpact. The proj Responses to the Faz dronmentat Checklist Form .XVII MANDATOR Y BINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE a) Substantially degrade environmental quality, biologicalresources, or examples of California history or prehistory? Less Than Significant Impact. Based upon the evaluation in this Initial Study,the proprsedproject would not have the potential'to significantly 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 comrrmunity, 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. The proposed re-location would be implemented on a site owned by the County and used as a heavy equipment practice place, the site is completely devoid of vegetation. Already a developed and highly disturbed site,there is no significant habitat or rather biological resources on the property or any known prehistoric examples. The project would result in potentially minor short-term effects from construction activities such as particulate emissions and erosion during construction. However,these passible impacts are considered less than significant,an expected part of construction,and would be addressed by the measures to lessen the effects to the extent practicable. There would be no significant environmental impacts from the post-project operation of the animal control facility. b) Impacts that are individually limited,but cumulatively considerable? Less Than Significant Impact. Development of the proposed school project would not ongtehave the potential to achieve short-terra environmental goals to the disadvantage of long- term rm ones(a short-term impact on the environment is one that occurs in a relatively brief,definitive period of time while long-termimpacts would endure well into the future). The project would be implemented on a disturbed County site and is intended to accommodate the existing'population of County animals as well as minor potential future increases. Relatively minor impacts such as air emissions and noise may occur from construction''activities, but these effects would be of short duration and not cumulatively considerable. c) Environmental effects that will cause direct or indirect impacts on humans? Less Than Significant Impact The development of the;proposed project would not have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Potential environmental impacts have already been discussed as part of the evaluation. Less than significant impacts would be primarily limited to short-terse construction-related ipacts'(e.g.,temporary noise, air emissions). 7/31/01(PACCC 93 3\CCC 933 in tiahtndy.wpd) 41 ......................... .....

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: Potentially Significant Potentially, Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No fact Incorporation Imp Im act I. AESTHETICS. Would the proposal; a. Have a substantial adverse effect on a X scenic vista?(Source#4) — — b. Substantially damage scenic resources, _ X including,but not limited to,trees,rock outcroppings,and historic buildings within a state scenic highway?(Source#3 ) C. Substantially degrade the existing X visual character or quality of the site and — — its surroundings?(Source#3); d. Create a new source of substantial light _ _ X or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views'in the area? Source#2) SUMMARY: The project site is located in an area that is not identified as a scenic vista. Due to the difference in elevation between the project site and the apartments located to the north the proposed project will not significantly impact their view.All parking lot lighting will be designed to direct light away from the adjacent apartments and should have little affect on nighttime views and glare. S Potentially Significant Potentially Unless Less than Significant Mitigation Significant No lmvact lacorgoratiaa Impaet Impact Il. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES:In determining whether impactsto 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 agricultural and farmland. Would the project: a. Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland, _ X 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?(Source#3) b. Conflict with existing zoning for X agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract?(Source#3) C. Involve other changes in the existing X environment which,due to their location or nature,could result in conversion of Farmland,to non-agricultural use? Source#3) SUMMARY:The project site is located in an urbanized area and is surrounded by existing residential and commercial developments. No farmlands will be affected by this project. Ell. AIR QUALITY.' Where available,the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.

Source 3) SUMMARY: The amount of vehicle trips the proposed change in land use will generate is consistent with the traffic: analysis that was done for this site in the Environmental Impact Report that was prepared for the City of Pinole General Plan that was adopted in 1995. The proposed satellite animal control facility will be required to comply with Bay Area Air Quality Management District(BAAQMD) standards. The BAAQMD does not require quantification of construction emissions,but considers any project's construction related impacts to be less than significant if required Aust control measures are implemented. As mitigated in The General Plan Land Use Map Mitigated Negative Declaration,Resolution No. 124- 2000 for the City of Pinole Measure III b,dust control measures will be implemented at the construction site. Equipment exhaust emissions during construction will result from vehicular traffic generated by constuction activities,including automobiles transporting workers to and from the project site,and from construction and grading equipment.
