RECOMMENDATIONS 1. As recommended by the Planning Commission, a. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 13) to certify the FEIR with findings of overriding considerations relative to Air Quality, and Transportation/Circulation; and b. Adopt a Resolution (Attachment 14) to amend the Airport Area Specific Plan and General Plan Land Use Map to correspond to the Chevron project and FEIR. 2. Provide direction regarding the terms of a potential Development Agreement with the applicant. REPORT IN BRIEF The Chevron Remediation and Development Project and its environmental analysis represent the culmination of many years of planning and interagency coordination. The “project” evaluated in the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a request to amend the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP), annex the 332 Acre property into the City, and allow a subdivision of the property with entitlements to be extended through the 25-year life of the project through a Development Agreement. At this time, the applicant team is seeking certification of the environmental document (FEIR) and approval of amendments to the Airport Area Specific Plan. Review of the subdivision map and annexation request will occur in the future. Since the property is not currently within the City, permitting and work associated with the remediation and restoration aspects of the project will occur under the County’s jurisdiction, subject to AASP policies and adopted mitigation measures in the FEIR. The applicant team has submitted applications for the remediation and restoration work and the County is prepared to take action pending the City’s certification of the FEIR. The amendments to the AASP were prompted by Chevron’s request to amend the land use and circulation designations for the area to accommodate the remediation project, while still preserving a similar amount of commercial development potential on the property. Mitigations and infrastructure needs identified in the FEIR required updating other sections of the AASP for consistency and to reflect current conditions and costs. Updates to the financing plan reveal that estimated future development floor area in the AASP is less than estimated in 2005 and costs to complete needed infrastructure have increased, leaving a gap between available funds and costs of infrastructure. The proposed financing plan identifies that not all of the infrastructure costs Sept. 2, 2014 PH 2 PH2-1 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 2 may be appropriately assigned through AASP impact fees and suggests that other sources of funding (i.e. grants, citywide traffic fees, and direct developer contributions) and potentially other mechanisms of funding may need to be used to fully meet the infrastructure burden in the area. The FEIR determined that there will be significant impacts to Transportation/Circulation and Air Quality associated with the development project as proposed under City jurisdiction. Staff recommends the Council adopt overriding considerations for these impacts in accordance with the findings in Resolution A (Attachment 12). The overriding considerations indicate that the benefits of the project (remediation, restoration, open space, circulation improvements) outweigh the potential for environmental impacts. As a result of the Remediation project, the FEIR determined that there will be significant impacts to the environment in the area of “Hazards”. This is because the restoration project will restore wetlands and wetland restoration may lead to enhanced wildlife habit which could increase bird strikes from aircraft. Since the County is taking action on the permits associated with remediation, the City is not responsible for adopting findings associated with this portion of the FEIR. Instead, the Council only need find the FEIR adequately addresses impacts associated with the remediation project. Finally, the “County Development Project” analyzed in the FEIR is not a part of this review and is so lely an alternative that could be pursued should Chevron pursue entitlements to develop the property under County jurisdiction. The applicant has requested the City enter into a Development Agreement in order to extend the vested rights to develop the property over a 25 year period. The Council is being asked to provide input on possible terms and conditions for future negotiations. Figure 1: AASP boundary- Chevron property shown outlined in red PH2-2 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 3 DISCUSSION Background An overview of the Chevron project was introduced to the City Council on September 18, 2012. Since that time, the City’s advisory bodies have analyzed a variety of components associated with the remediation, restoration, and development components of the project. Advisory body hearings were supplemented by several public workshops that focused on both the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and AASP Amendments. The FEIR was completed and published with the responses to comments on January 2, 2014 (Attachment 1, FEIR Executive Summary) and was recommended by the Planning Commission along with amendments to the AASP on May 28, 2014. The Planning Commission recommended amendments to the AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan on July 30, 2014. At this time, the applicant’s request for annexation and tentative tract map approval is not ready for action because the Chevron team has contemplated minor adjustments to the tentative tract map and related public improves. While relatively slight, these adjustments do require some review and a determination of whether they were fully analyzed. However the FEIR and proposed amendments to the AASP are ready for action. The City Council is being asked to approve amendments to the AASP and certify the FEIR to enable remediation efforts to be initiated under County jurisdiction. The tentative map and annexation request will return later in conjunction with the Council’s consideration of the Development Agreement. Project Description The “project” is split into three components: 1) Remediation and Restoration to be entitled by the County; and 2) City Development Project: AASP amendments, Tract Map, Annexation, and Development Agreement. 3) County Development Project: Alternative proposal for map and zoning amendment to accommodate development in the County should annexation not occur. This report provides an analysis of the City development project and adequacy of the FEIR. The City’s review of item 1, remediation and restoration, focuses on whether the FEIR adequately addresses the remediation component of the project. The City is the Lead Agency for the FEIR while the County and State and Federal Resource Agencies will act as responsible agencies when utilizing the FEIR to review permits. Upon review of the remediation Use Permit, the County will rely on the certified FEIR to adopt findings and recommendations for the remediation component of the project. Attachment 1 provides the complete executive summary of the FEIR including a summarized project description. Attachment 2 provides a description of the remediation and restoration project as summarized by staff. Process The flow chart below provides a simplified description of how the project will be processed by both the City and County. The FEIR provides information to support both the remediation and PH2-3 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 4 project development. Since the remediation effort is a 3-year process, annexation may occur prior to or in conjunction with the remediation. As an option, the Council could choose to delay the completion of the annexation until remediation has been completed. Policy Analysis The AASP amendments and Chevron project respond to the policy direction in the 1994 Land Use Element and the 2006 Conservation and Open Space Element. The discussion that follows provides a brief description of the proposed changes in the AASP and indicates how the project has been modified to meet the policy guidance in light of information and analysis in the EIR Land Use Element Policy 1.12.3 requires a Specific Plan be prepared for the Airport Area prior to annexation or substantial development. The AASP adopted in 2005 implements policy 1.12.3 and provides detailed policy guidance for development and open space preservation of the Chevron Tank Farm property. The vision statement adopted by the AASP identifies the Chevron property (formerly Unocal property) as the heart of the AASP area: “The former Unocal petroleum tank farm, and the associated environmental degradation from the catastrophic 1926 fire, have long set the tone for the area. This Specific Plan is about changing the identity and perception of the area and “raising the bar” to meet the standards of San Luis Obispo in the 21st Century. At the heart of the planning area, the former tank farm site will be improved and preserved as an ecological preserve that provides enhanced natural habitat, visual and recreational open space, and educational and interpretive experiences...” PH2-4 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 5 Adopted policies in the Conservation and Land Use sections of the AASP further define the expectations for the Chevron property. Policy 3.2.241 acknowledges the changed conditions of this property and outlines the course of remediation and restoration efforts that have now been incorporated into the project description. Policy 4.3.62 requires that a comprehensive development and conservation plan be approved for the Chevron property prior to development. The plans that Chevron has developed over the past several years, in conjunction with the completion of the FEIR are intended to implement policy 4.3.6. City Project The City project includes amendments to the AASP, annexation, a tentative tract map, and a development agreement. As noted previously, action on the annexation, map and development agreement are not currently ready for action. The project responds to post remediation and restoration conditions on the Chevron property by relocating land use and circulation improvements on the site to reduce impacts to habitat and address airport safety. At this time, no specific tenants have been identified for the properties. Attachment 1 provides illustrations of existing and proposed land use plans. The following discussion summarizes the AASP amendments and development agreement. 1. Airport Area Specific Plan Amendments The Chevron project results in amendments to AASP policies, figures, maps and the financing plan. The Planning Commission reviewed and commented on the draft amendments to the AASP on December 11, 2013 and endorsed the amendments at public hearings on May 28 and July 30, 2014 (Attachments 10 and 11, PC minutes). 1 Policy 3.2.24 City Consideration of “Changed Conditions” on the Chevron Property following remediation and restoration It is acknowledged that Chevron has prepared, a remediation plan for the Chevron property addressing the contaminated areas on the site. The remediation plan has been reviewed by multiple agencies including::Army Corps of Engineers, California Department of fish and Game, Regional Water Quality Control Board) as part of the EIR prepared for the Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and development project. The EIR found that the remediation project will impact wetlands and other terrestrial habitat on the site. The EIR requires mitigation measures that provide for the replacement and restoration of wetland and terrestrial habitat on-site following the remediation project. Following completion of the restoration component of the project ongoing monitoring and maintenance of restoration activities will be required (per EIR mitigation) to ensure compliance. The restored wetlands and terrestrial habitat areas shall be included within a permanent open space easement. 2 Policy 4.3.6: Tank Farm Site Before a substantial part of the former Tank Farm Site is subdivided or developed, the City must have approved a comprehensive development and conservation plan for the entire property. This development plan shall meet with the approval of federal, state and local agencies with jurisdiction over the hazards and natural resources present, and include: a) A detailed resource management plan… b) Easements for the permanent protection of natural resources dedicated to an appropriate trustee agency such as the City, RWQCB or SLO Land Trust. c) A detailed, site-specific plan for remediation… d) An implementation plan that links development entitlements to completion of specific remediation and habitat- improvement actions. e) A mechanism, such as an endowment, for implementing the long-term monitoring, enhancement and maintenance included in the plan. PH2-5 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 6 The applicable policies and programs proposed for City Council review and recommendation are briefly discussed below with complete legislative drafts available in Attachments 3 through 7. Chapter 3 Conservation and Resource Management When the AASP was approved in 2005, the adopted policies acknowledged that the Chevron property would ultimately be remediated and restored. In this update, several policies were amended in consideration of the Chevron project and FEIR to acknowledge the changed conditions created by the remediation project. Following remediation and restoration of the property, the open space portions of the Chevron property (approximately 250 acres) will be dedicated as permanent open space and protected with a conservation easement. Access through the open space will be controlled and may only be available through a single multi-use trail that is proposed to connect the intersection of Santa Fe and Tank Farm to a location near the Avila Ranch property. The remainder of the open space will not be suitable for access due to wetlands and other sensitive habitat restoration, as well as hazards for portions of the property in the airport runway protection zone. Chapter 4 Land Use The primary change to the AASP involves adjusting the locations of land uses within the Chevron property to reflect sensitive habitat and remediation efforts. Several text amendments are necessary to acknowledge general plan designation and subsequent zoning changes, most notably the addition of a Public Facility designation that could accommodate a future sports field. Table 1 identifies the change in acreage for each designation. Attachments 1 and 4 illustrate the graphical changes to the AASP Land Use and pre-Zoning maps. The land use map amendments would also be reflected in the Citywide General Plan Land Use Map. Table 1: Chevron Property Existing and Proposed land use summary Land Use Designation Land Area Existing Acres % Proposed Acres % Business Park 3 1 27 8 Service Commercial 51 16 26 8 Public Facility 0 0 15 5 Open Space 279 83 250 75 Streets, Right-of-Way n/a n/a 14 4 Total 332 100 332 100 *Note that expansion of streets and right of way (14 acres) reduce the amount of open space, however the proposed PF zone may introduce up to 15 new acres of parkland. Chapter 6 Circulation and Transportation Substantial amendments to the Circulation and Transportation chapter of the AASP result from changes proposed as part of the Chevron project description and mitigations required through the FEIR. Attachment 6 illustrates the revised circulation plan. The most significant changes to the circulation plan include the following: 1. Elimination of a portion of the “Unocal Collector” road linking Tank Farm Road to Prado Road at the western border of the Chevron property to be replaced with a multi-use path (road connection is proposed to be reconfigured to avoid wetland impacts). 2. A new road, “Road B”, is introduced to serve relocated commercial and new public facilities zone west of the proposed northern extension of Santa Fe Road. PH2-6 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 7 3. Tank Farm Road improvements through the Chevron property are proposed to occur in phases, with completion through the open space area proposed in phase 4, approximately 20 years into the project. Improvements include widening to four lanes (at phase 4), bike paths, sidewalks, fencing removal, and installation of underground utilities. More information on bike paths is provided below. 4. The Chevron project description identifies a signalized intersection for Tank Farm and Santa Fe, however existing and proposed AASP policy and the Chevron FEIR require a roundabout to serve this intersection. More detailed information on this issue is provided below. 5. The FEIR Mitigation plan calls for other improvements to be completed in the region; including the extension of Buckley to South Higuera, and improvements to eight intersections to enhance levels of service as traffic increases in the future when AASP area properties develop in conjunction with cumulative buildout elsewhere in the City. Roundabout at Santa Fe and Tank Farm Roads The AASP identifies roundabouts instead of traffic signals for several intersections including the intersection of Tank Farm and Santa Fe Roads. Chapter 6.4.7 of the AASP notes that roundabouts are a desirable form of intersection control in the specific plan area. The FEIR includes mitigation that requires the construction of a roundabout during Phase 1 of the project at the intersection of Tank Farm and Santa Fe Roads as part of the traffic mitigation. The City consulted with two traffic engineering firms (The Wallace Group and Omni-Means) to assist with conceptual design layouts and cost estimates for both a roundabout and a signalized traffic signal for the Tank Farm and Santa Fe Road intersection; to determine whether the roundabout was the ideal solution for this intersection, and to provide comparative analysis. The Wallace study indicates that the construction of a roundabout will cost less and utilize less overall right-of-way than a typical signalized intersection. Furthermore, modern roundabouts increase vehicular traffic efficiency, reduce air pollution by reducing time at the intersection, and allow the safe inclusion of pedestrians and bicyclists through the intersection. Omni-Means assisted staff with a public workshop on December 9, 2013 and presented conceptual roundabout details to the Planning Commission at the May 28 2014 Hearing. The emphasis of the workshop was to present the concept of roundabouts to the public and hear feedback. Omni- Means is now in the process of assisting the City with design plans for the Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe roundabout. Chevron’s tentative map submittal will be required to incorporate a roundabout for the intersection of Tank Farm and Santa Fe Roads. Bicycle Paths The AASP illustrates the planned location of on and off-street bicycle paths consistent with the Citywide Bicycle Transportation Plan. Several of these paths bisect the Chevron property and provide regional connections to Broad Street, Buckley Road, the Damon Garcia sports fields and the Margarita Area. The Bicycle Advisory Committee commented on the plans and asked for a continuous off-street pathway that will provide access through the Tank Farm Road corridor. As an alternative, the Committee also asked staff to explore a “buffered” on-street bike path on Tank Farm Road. The AASP now includes provisions for a buffered on-street bike path separated by vehicular traffic by a two foot shoulder. A class one two-way bike path is identified for the north side of Tank Farm Road. Attachment 6 illustrates proposed bike paths in the AASP. PH2-7 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 8 Chapter 7 Utilities and Services Changes to Chapter 7 include updates to the water and wastewater infrastructure maps for consistency with current infrastructure plans identified in the Water and Wastewater Management Plan. Most importantly, this chapter provides updated policies that accommodate emergency response needs in the airport area. Following adoption of the AASP in 2005, the City adopted a Fire Department Master Plan (January, 2009). The Master Plan identified a challenge with meeting target response times (4 minutes/95% of the time) in the southern annexation areas, including the AASP area at full build-out. In response to the Master Plan, new policies that will incrementally support enhanced response times for new development have been added to the AASP. The new policies require new development to be reviewed and appropriately mitigated to address the response time deficiency. Attachment 7 provides a draft of the Utilities and Services chapter of the AASP. Chapter 8 Public Facilities Financing The financing plan is being revised to reflect current build-out assumptions and infrastructure costs required to support the development anticipated in the AASP. The Public Facilities Financing Plan has been developed consistent with Assembly Bill 1600 (1989) and consistent with Citywide financing policies. Since AASP adoption in 2005, the build-out assumptions associated with the AASP have changed. Full annexation of the AASP area has not occurred and several key properties have developed in the unincorporated area. The development impact fees collected with County development did not cover what is now known to be the development’s fair share of needed infrastructure for the area. Additionally, several properties within the AASP prepaid impact fees as part of pre-annexation agreements and development or redevelopment of these properties may not fully contribute to the current cost of infrastructure development. Hence, there is less development that will contribute to the AASP infrastructure costs than was assumed in 2005. In 2005, the AASP anticipated 5.3 million square feet of non-residential development. Updated development figures estimate this development potential is closer to 5.1 million square feet with approximately 1.3 million square feet occurring either outside of the City’s jurisdiction or on properties with pre-annexation agreements. Figure 1 The total cost of the infrastructure called for in the AASP FEIR is approximately $36.4 Million. Of this amount, the estimate for the AASP’s fair share of infrastructure improvement is $19.4 million. In 2005, the AASP’s share of costs was estimated to be $15.2 million. The increased costs are a result of increased cost estimates for road improvements and the inclusion of road AASP Financing: Fast Facts Assumed Commercial Buildout: 5.1 Million Square Feet Total Infrastructure Cost estimates: $36.4 Million AASP Share of Costs: $19.4 Million Amount to be funded by *other sources: $17 Million *Other Sources include direct developer construction of infrastructure, grants, city funded infrastructure or other sources PH2-8 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 9 improvements that were not included in the 2005 financing plan. Staff worked with Goodwin Consulting Group to prepare a draft financing plan (Attachment 8). The recommendation is to continue the pay-as-you go philosophy by financing infrastructure improvements through development impact fees and direct developer construction of improvements. Under the recommended scenario, AASP impact fees would remain close to current levels. However, the proposed infrastructure plan also relies on other funding sources to fully fund needed infrastructure. The infrastructure costs assigned to the AASP took into account the regional use and demand of infrastructure in the area to determine that remaining development in the AASP should be responsible for $19.4 of the $36.4 Million in infrastructure costs. The remaining $17 Million will be funded through direct developer contributions, grants, city contributions, or other sources. It is also important to understand that all of the infrastructure costs ($36.4 M) are not needed in the near term and many of the improvements will not be needed for 15-20 years. A broader discussion of infrastructure financing and impact fees will follow the Land Use and Circulation Element update process. Financing Options Staff initiated meetings with area property owners to discuss the initial findings of the public infrastructure financing report prepared by Goodwin Consulting Group. The Goodwin report also contained a summary of tools available to fund infrastructure costs. Table 2 summarizes several of the options discussed with the property owners. Table 2 Pay-as-you-Go Shift Source of Funding Land Base Financing/ Community Facility District Reduced Infrastructure Pro Current method, known results, backed by City Policy Reduce burden to AASP, assign costs to other city or county areas that utilize infrastructure, or rely on grant-funding Spreads out timing to pay for infrastructure, reduces direct impact fee at time of development Reduces cost of development impact fees Con High cost of Infrastructure may discourage or slow development No guarantee on funding if consideration includes grants or outside agencies Requires voter approval, does not reduce overall infrastructure cost to property owners Reduces quality of infrastructure, could impact levels of service, could have CEQA impacts Pay-As-You-Go The City utilizes a “pay-as-you-go” system of funding infrastructure improvements. This system is a combination of in-tract improvements provided by land developers and impact fees paid in proportion to a development’s fair share of the cost of the area infrastructure. Developers are reimbursed by other development in the area for improvements made in excess of their fair share that will serve the greater area. Shift Funding Sources Shifting funding sources involves adjusting the funding source between either AASP property owners, Citywide property owners, or other sources such as grants, direct development contributions or direct city improvement projects. Table A-3 on Attachment 8 from Goodwin Consulting group illustrates the proposed adjustments to the infrastructure plan. Note that some PH2-9 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 10 of the improvements have been reduced to 0% responsibility for the AASP even though the improvements remain on the list. These improvements will need to be funded by grants, citywide participation, specific development projects, and/or other funding sources. These items have been selected for other funding sources because they have been found to be the responsibility of either specific development sites or cumulative development in the region. As an alternative, the Council may also choose to suggest additional shifting of responsibility of funding such as utilizing the General Fund to provide future public improvements. Such changes will have direct implications to AASP impact fees. A shift of funding sources is included in the staff recommendation. Financing Plan Recommendation Staff recommends adopting the fee program that was endorsed by the Planning Commission on July 30. This program assumes 5.1 Million square feet of commercial floor area will contribute to the future fee program. It assumes a total AASP responsibility of $19.4 M. The infrastructure program relies on a portion of direct-developer construction of improvements combined with grants and city contributions/grants to close the gap. The resulting AASP impact fees are shown in the table below. It is important to note that these fees are in addition to Citywide impact fees and are only a small portion of the fees that are normally charged upon receipt of a construction permit. Additionally, the Public Facilities Finance chapter of the AASP retains the option of the formation of an assessment district to spread the costs of infrastructure over time. While it isn ’t envisioned as an option that the City would impose, it is listed as one that land owners may wish to consider if timing of infrastructure fee payment impacts feasibility of development. Alternatives to the financing plan including infrastructure reductions and the implementation of land based financing are discussed in the Alternatives section of the financing plan. Table 3 AASP add on fees per square foot of new development Land Use Transportation Storm Drainage Specific Plan TOTAL Change From Existing Fees Business Park $4.37 $.20 $.093 $ 4.66 -$.03 Service Commercial $3.29 $.28 $.136 $ 3.71 +$.11 Manufacturing $.65 $.42 $.124 $ 1.19 +$.38 2. Annexation The annexation of the Chevron property was anticipated by the AASP when the AASP was adopted in 2005 and was requested as part of Chevron’s application. Considered the “heart of the planning area”, this property provides key infrastructure and areas for commercial development while providing a significant contribution of open space. Annexation is not timely for consideration at this point in the review process and will be discussed in detail at a later date in conjunction with the review of the tentative map. The City may process the annexation request while remediation efforts are underway. The annexation process is highly structured and occurs through the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). PH2-10 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 11 3. Vesting Tentative Tract Map Approval of the FEIR and policy amendments in the specific plan will help guide the Chevron team towards the submittal of a revised subdivision map. The map will outline open space and development areas while detailing public improvement plans such as streets, drainage, utilities and bike paths. Upon acceptance of a revised map consistent with updated AASP policies and FEIR mitigation measures, staff will return to the Planning Commission and City Council to review this important component of the project. Tentative map approvals may be granted but recordation may not occur until the property is annexed to the City. 4. Status of Development Agreement Application A Tool to Achieve Community Wide Benefits The City Council authorized staff to process the Development Agreement (DA) application for the Chevron project on September 20, 2011. San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Section 17.94 authorizes the City Council to approve development agreements for “large, complex or phased projects which require extended construction time and which involve numerous public improvements such as streets, utilities, flood improvements, schools, parks and open space and other improvements of community-wide benefit.” In this case, the scale of the project is so large that the absorption of the potential commercial floor area is expected to occur over a 25-year period. Development Agreements are a land use planning tool that enables flexibility in the application of regulations to allow the City to achieve important public benefits. A Development Agreement in this case will benefit the applicant because it will protect the property owner’s ability to complete the project once all land use and discretionary approvals have been obtained. The Development Agreement will benefit the City by delivering important transportation infrastructure beyond the fair share of the project’s requirements, and by contributing important economic development benefits, such as head-of-household jobs. An overview of the private and public benefits potentially created through the DA is included in the following sections of this report. Current Status of Negotiations and Next Steps The purpose of the attached term sheet (see Attachment 12) is to highlight the issues that have been discussed by City staff and the applicant, and to present them to the City Council and the public to gain feedback and direction before a final Development Agreement is negotiated and drafted. It is important to stress that there is currently no formal or informal agreement between the City and Chevron, and that the input that staff hopes to receive from the City Council on these issues will be critical to developing and finalizing a Development Agreement and recommendation to the City Council. If an agreement can be negotiated, the final DA would accompany the review of the Tentative Tract Map and Annexation request. This is likely to occur later this year or early next year, following the complete submittal of an updated Tentative Tract Map. The final DA must be reviewed by the Planning Commission, and then approved by an ordinance of the City Council before it can go into effect. The DA is a part of the project description noted in the FEIR, and it does not involve the construction of any new facilities or public improvements that have not been analyzed. As a PH2-11 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 12 result, completion of the DA at a later date is not expected to have any additional environmental impacts; however, the City will be preparing an addendum to the FEIR to incorporate it into the final environmental document as part of the approval process for the DA. Overview of Terms The draft term sheet highlights the areas to be covered in the DA and forms the framework for future negotiations. The term sheet is being presented publicly at this time to enable community input and to allow the Council to provide direction to the negotiating team before negotiations proceed further and a final recommendation is developed. The major items to be negotiated include: 1. Vesting Entitlements and Fees (Section 6)  The development agreement would allow the applicant to vest its entitlements and fees for 25 years. This means that the rules, regulations, and fees that are in effect when the project is approved, will be locked in for the life of the agreement. Development fees would still escalate per the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for San Francisco. 2. Reimbursement Agreement (Section 9)  The City’s Municipal Code allows reimbursement agreements to facilitate the pay back of eligible expenses when a development builds more infrastructure than its fair share. Staff is recommending that the City enter into a standard reimbursement agreement with Chevron, which would enable the City to reimburse Chevron from those fees that are collected from other Airport Area property owners when they develop in the future. Chevron has indicated that this source of reimbursement is not sufficient to ensure that they are adequately reimbursed for their expenses beyond their fair share. The City Council has tools available to enhance the amount of reimbursement available to Chevron. In particular, the length of the DA can be extended from the standard 15 years to 25 years, and second, the City can use other sources of funding (such as the General Fund or other impact fee programs with available balances) to reimburse Chevron for its additional infrastructure expenses. In considering these options, the City Council should keep in mind that using other sources of funding for the purpose of reimbursement transfers risk from Chevron to the City, and enhances the overall value of the project to Chevron. Ultimately, the City Council should seek to create a DA that strikes an appropriate balance between the public and private benefits created by the agreement. 3. Open Space Land Management/Endowment and Conservation Easement (Section 11)  An easement is necessary to ensure permanent preservation of the 250-acre open space property as required by the project EIR and AASP policy. Preservation of the open space is a requirement, and not something that would be factored in as a “public benefit” of the DA.  The City is in a position to manage the open space and integrate the property into its open space inventory, but should only do so if there is sufficient funding provided by Chevron to cover associated costs of long-term operations and maintenance. If Council is interested in having the City take on this responsibility, then direction should be provided. PH2-12 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 13 4. Fire Protection Services (Section 12)  Short and long term plans are offered to enhance fire protection service resulting from the project. The short-term solution is to assist with the funding of a crew of City firefighters that would be co-located with Cal Fire at the Airport until a new fire station is warranted and built on land provided by Chevron. This is also a requirement of the project and not a public benefit, but incorporating this mitigation requirement into the DA will facilitate implementation. 5. Environmental Indemnity (Section 17)  The City will in no way accept any liability associated with site remediation or future operations. Indemnifications are sought from the applicant to protect the City from liability. Financial Analysis As a negotiated agreement, the Development Agreement must include an appropriate exchange of value between the City and the applicant. In assessing this value, it is important to identify the aspects of the project that represent “public benefits,” which are limited to those benefits that are created by the project above and beyond what the City could otherwise require through the normal entitlement process. Once the public benefits are assessed, the value of the development agreement to the applicant can also be evaluated to ensure that the agreement represents an equal exchange. In order to assess the project’s economic and fiscal impact to the City, Chevron hired The Natelson Dale Group (TNDG) to analyze the project. The City in turn hired Goodwin Consulting group (GCG) to peer review the TNDG study. The GCG memorandum (available in the Council reading file) summarizes the annual operational employment impact as 3,256 full time jobs with an additional 29 construction jobs over the 25 year period. The average salary for jobs in the operational phase is estimated to be $47,758 per year, and for the construction phase the average salary is $52,122. GCG also estimated the net fiscal impact to the General Fund to be $308,984 at build out (this is tax revenue net of all costs that will accrue to the General Fund associated with street maintenance, public safety, etc). This is a significant positive fiscal impact, and a significant level of head of household job creation, which are considered public benefits. However, the dollar value of this job creation benefit cannot be calculated, and requires input and direction from the City Council to gauge how the job creation benefit is weighed in the overall exchange of benefits through the Development Agreement. Next, to assess the value of the DA to Chevron, Keyser Marsten Associates (KMA) was hired by the City to evaluate the project. While there was a wide range of value estimates based on various scenarios, KMA determined that the value of a DA that included reimbursement over a 25-year period increased the value of Chevron’s development project by approximately $900,000. In principal, this implies that the City should be using this amount as a reference point when evaluating the public benefits being secured in return for the DA. The Negotiations Negotiations are necessary to achieve an equitable exchange of public and private benefits through the Development Agreement. The following table highlights these benefits; however, it is up to the City Council to determine the relative values, with the financial analysis described above as a basis. PH2-13 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 14 Public Benefits Chevron Benefits 1. Head of Household job creation 1. Vested Entitlements (25 Years) 2. Early installation of phase one infrastructure (supported by a reimbursement agreement) 2. Vested Fees (25 Years) 3. Minimizes financial risk to City associated with infrastructure financing 3. Ability to record lots for sale in advance of required public improvements 4. Accomplishes AASP goals (open space preservation, bike paths, etc.) 4. Infrastructure phasing flexibility 5. Accomplishes orderly development 5. Disposition of open space 6. Commitment by City to consider reimbursement as part of infrastructure financing strategy for proposed Phase 1 improvements Further direction is needed from the council in order to continue negotiations with Chevron over the appropriate terms and conditions of the DA. More details are provided below on the Reimbursement Agreement and specific issues where direction is sought. Reimbursement of Infrastructure Costs Beyond Chevron’s Fair Share Calculation Reimbursement is provided for in the City’s Subdivision Regulations and the California Subdivision Map Act. Reimbursement agreements are described in the City’s recently prepared infrastructure financing analysis as a useful tool for delivering important infrastructure in the Airport Area. The Development Agreement term sheet includes a provision requiring the City and Chevron to negotiate a reimbursement agreement in the future. It is normal for such agreements to be negotiated prior to the recording of a final map, when the most up to date information about project costs and sources of reimbursement is available. Based on previous estimates, Chevron’s cost for first phase infrastructure exceeds its fair share by several million dollars. This “gap” is so large because the proposed improvements support a large amount of development outside of the project boundaries. The gap is also significant because of the “brownfield” nature of the project site, where no infrastructure has been developed over the past 100 years due to contamination from past operations and the disaster created by the 1926 explosion and fire. As a result, instead of incremental installation of infrastructure, which has occurred throughout the City’s urban reserve over time, this portion of the Airport Area has little to no infrastructure present, and a large expense is required simply to enable access to the first phase of proposed development. The main source of reimbursement will be the Airport Area Specific Plan fee program. As additional development occurs in the Airport Area, and impact fees are collected from other property owners, the City can use this source of funds to reimburse Chevron for the “gap” described above. Using the Airport Area Specific Plan fee program as the only source of reimbursement for the project would result in no impact on the General Fund. Normally, reimbursement agreements can have a maximum length of 15 years, but in this case, the Development Agreement would enable the City to offer Chevron a reimbursement agreement PH2-14 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 15 with a 25-year term in case full reimbursement does not occur during the first 15 years. In addition, the City Council could direct staff to seek other sources of reimbursement beyond the Airport Area Specific Plan fee program. The source could be loans from the General Fund, or other impact fee funds with available balances. The largest unknown is the amount and source of funding available to Chevron for reimbursement of infrastructure costs beyond the project’s fair share requirement. This has made negotiating the DA a challenge. Chevron would like as much certainty as possible about future reimbursement so that it can reduce the risk associated with the substantial expense of providing the infrastructure needed to serve their project site. The City will also benefit from this infrastructure and from the project, so staff recommends that the City commit to entering into a reimbursement agreement as part of the DA, but defer negotiating the reimbursement agreement until further implementation of the City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan, and adoption of a new citywide fee program following the Land Use and Circulation Update. Waiting until these actions occur before committing to a specific level of reimbursement for Chevron will ensure that the City is allocating scarce funding in a way that is consistent with its economic development priorities, and that all potential sources of funding are identified. Council Direction Needed While Staff believes that the majority of issues can be resolved with Chevron, direction from Council on the following key questions would be beneficial at this time: 1) Public Benefits: Are the public benefits identified sufficient for the City Council to support moving forward with a Development Agreement? If the Council would like for additional benefits or infrastructure to be negotiated, direction should be provided to staff regarding the nature and scope of those items so that negotiations can proceed. Some examples of the types of Public Benefits that could be considered are: a. Earlier construction of infrastructure, for example; the early widening of Tank Farm Road to four lanes, or specific bike and pedestrian path connections. b. Increased level of infrastructure like additional bike/pedestrian paths or open space amenities (in return for additional benefit provided to Chevron). 2) Chevron Benefits: Is the City Council agreeable to the scope of the private benefits being offered to Chevron as specified in the term sheet? If the Council does not support one or more of the benefits identified in the term sheet, direction should be provided to staff so that the term sheet can be amended and negotiations can proceed. Some examples of the types of additional benefits that could be provided to Chevron are: a. Direct contribution of City funds to infrastructure in the Airport area to improve the viability of the Chevron development project. 3) Reimbursement Agreement Concepts: The Development Agreement calls for the City and Chevron to negotiate a separate reimbursement agreement regarding the project. As a result, final decisions about the sources and amount of reimbursement do not need to be made in the near term, but direction from the City Council will be very helpful at this time. Staff has been pursuing a standard 15-year agreement, with the source of funding restricted to those fees paid by other Airport Area property owners into the Airport Area Fee Program. Chevron does not believe this will produce sufficient funds for reimbursement to enable a feasible development project. If the costs of infrastructure, and the risk associated with future reimbursement, are too great then it could prevent the PH2-15 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 16 development project from moving forward. Options available to the City Council are as follows: a. The City Council can direct staff to pursue a longer term reimbursement agreement. For example, a 25-year reimbursement agreement that would be active for the life of the DA would provide an additional 10 years of potential reimbursement for Chevron from other Airport Area property owners, as development moves forward. b. Direct staff to seek other sources for reimbursement. The City Council can direct staff to identify other resources to enable reimbursement to Chevron. This could include loans from the General Fund, or other impact fee funds with available balances. In theory, the City would be “made whole” when the Airport Area builds out and the City pays itself back from the fees collected. However, in this scenario, the City takes on more risk in the event that Airport Area development does not proceed exactly as envisioned. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Draft EIR was released in June 2013 and the public comment period closed on August 5th 2013. 37 comment letters were received, many of which focused on transportation related matters including the roundabout, bicycle paths, and the widening of Tank Farm Road. The Final EIR was made available to the public on January 2, 2014. The Final EIR includes mitigations for Class 1 (impacts that remain significant with mitigation) and Class 2 impacts (impacts that can be mitigated to a less than significant level). No mitigations are required for Class 3 impacts, which are considered less than significant, while Class 4 are considered beneficial or “positive” impacts. The Executive Summary of the FEIR is included as Attachment 1 and the potential impacts and proposed mitigations are summarized below. Remediation Project Environmental Impacts The FEIR identified that potential environmental impacts in the category of “Hazards” will remain significant following mitigation because there may be a potential for increased aircraft wildlife strike risk due to wetland restoration within the airport safety areas. The Airport Land Use Commission considered this potential impact and endorsed the EIR and found the project consistent with the Airport Land Use Plan because of the many positive improvements to airport safety included in the project. Some of the “positive” improvements include grading and partial leveling of the berms surrounding a former oil containment area known as the “Coliseum” which will improve emergency access near the end of the airport runway. The project will also install important airport safety zones that would allow for clear zones in the event of a crash landing. 1. Remediation Alternatives Attachment 2 provides a description of the proposed remediation project. In summary, there will be limited excavation of areas of contamination and underground contamination will be covered with gravel and soil known as “caps”. The EIR examined a range of alternatives for the remediation project as part of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) alternatives analysis. These included mass excavation with the intent of removing the majority of site contamination; excavation as an alternative to caps; and leaving most of the contamination in place and utilizing controls and monitoring only. These alternatives are briefly described below: PH2-16 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 17 Mass Excavation would involve an attempt to remove the majority of underground contamination. This level of excavation and fill would result in up to 140 truck trips per day over a 10-year period. A significantly larger portion of the existing wetland and grassland habitat would be impacted. This alternative significantly increases environmental impacts to biological resources, air quality and hazards. Therefore, this alternative was not considered to be a favorable alternative for further analysis in the EIR. Excavation instead of caps assumes excavation of areas below former reservoirs instead of utilizing caps constructed of gravel and fill. This would result in a substantial increase in the amount of affected soil removed from the site. This level of work would interfere with groundwater and require additional work to pump groundwater from excavation sites. Although this alternative would remove more of the hydrocarbons from the site, the level of human health and ecological risk would remain the same as the proposed project because the installation of caps results in the same level of protection as excavation of the reservoirs. This alternative was analyzed in the EIR as a potential alternative. Institutional controls and monitoring was evaluated as an alternative that would involve continuation of the activity presently occurring. This would consist of fencing, monitoring and netting to prevent people and wildlife from coming into contact with contaminants. This alternative would substantially reduce the environmental impacts associated with the remediation project, however the level of human health and ecological risk would not be reduced to acceptable levels under this alternative. This alternative would not be acceptable to resource agencies such as RWQCB and other governmental agencies that are encouraging that the surface remediation project move forward as soon as possible. The FEIR found that the alternatives examined would not reduce the severity of environmental impacts and therefore found that the proposed remediation project is the environmentally superior alternative next to the “no project alternative”. However, the no project alternative would not accomplish the need to remediate the contamination and would not be acceptable to resource agencies. Environmental Analysis of City Project As a result of development of the Chevron property, following annexation into the City, the EIR identified Significant and Unavoidable impacts (Class 1) in the areas of Air Quality and Transportation. Even with incorporated mitigation, the level of significance will not be reduced to acceptable levels for both of these issue areas. The resolution recommending certification of the FEIR (Attachment 12) includes findings of overriding considerations that speak to the Class 1 impacts in the areas of Transportation and Air Quality. Class I, II and III impacts are described in more detail below. 1. Class I Impacts Air Quality Following completion of development, operational activities associated with vehicle trips from new business operations from the completed commercial development could generate diesel and fugitive dust that exceeds the County Air Pollution Control District thresholds. Mitigation measures have been designed to reduce air quality impacts, however even with mitigation there PH2-17 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 18 will be unavoidable changes to air quality due to the size of the development area and ongoing vehicle trips. The statement of overriding considerations recommended in Resolution A (Attachment 13) concludes that the benefits of the project outweigh the potential air quality impacts. Transportation and Circulation Under cumulative conditions, the addition of the project in the future would cause nine intersections and two freeway segments to operate at unacceptable levels. In accordance with the FEIR mitigation, the applicant will be required to participate in a pro-rata share of the cost of each of the transportation improvements as a condition of the development project. The proposed improvements to Tank Farm Road were not listed as a mitigation measure because they are included in Chevron’s project description and the proposed widening of Tank Farm Road in four phases was found to maintain adequate levels of service. The intersections significantly impacted by cumulative conditions (project plus anticipated development in the region) include those in the chart below, some of which would remain at unacceptable levels even following proposed mitigation. Table 4: Class 1 Circulation Impacts The statement of overriding considerations recommended in Resolution A (Attachment 13) concludes that the benefits of the project outweigh the potential circulation impacts. 2. Class II Impacts There are Class 2 impacts to eight issue areas as a result of the development project on the Chevron property. The FEIR includes an extensive list of mitigation measures that will reduce these impacts to less than significant levels. Mitigation monitoring will be the responsibility of City staff with the assistance of biological and site restoration monitors that are required as part of the mitigation plan. Per the mitigation requirements, the applicant is required to fund an independent site monitor. Some of the most notable mitigations for the project include the following: 1. Installation of a roundabout instead of a signalized intersection at the re-aligned Santa Fe and Tank Farm road intersection. 2. Installation of transit stops along Tank Farm Road. 3. Installation of bicycle and multi-use trails prior to occupancy of Phase 1. 4. Dedication of a property that could be used for the future development of a fire station. 3. Development Alternatives examined in the FEIR The FEIR examined a no project alternative, and a reduced development scenario. The FEIR found that the “no development scenario” (remediation only) would be the environmentally Impacts can be reduced with mitigation Impacts may not be possible to mitigate LOVR and Hwy 101 South Higuera and Prado Santa Fe and Tank Farm South Higuera and Tank Farm Broad and Prado Broad and Buckley South Higuera and Vachell South Higuera and LOVR Broad and Tank Farm PH2-18 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 19 superior alternative, however this scenario would not meet project objectives and would also eliminate the beneficial impacts of the proposed bicycle paths, road improvements, and development contribution of the AASP. The “no development” scenario assumes that the areas currently identified for commercial development in the AASP would remain open space. CEQA requires that other alternatives be given consideration in addition to the no development project scenario. Under the “Reduced Development Alternative” (which assumed 238,000 square feet less development on the Chevron property) the FEIR found that significant impacts associated with a portion of the air quality impacts would be reduced and some of the cumulative traffic impacts would be reduced but both would still remain significant and unavoidable. The reduced development scenario would meet most of the project objectives but it would reduce the building square footage thereby reducing the economic viability of the project and reducing its contribution to infrastructure support. The reduction in building area for this scenario would be below what is currently anticipated in the AASP. The applicant has stated that a reduction in building area would make the project infeasible, however the FEIR does not address the issue of economic feasibility. The reduced development alternative was found to be the next environmentally superior alternative. County Project The environmental review for the County project identified similar impacts as those identified with the City project but included three additional Class 2 impacts: Water, Wastewater and Public Facilities. These impacts are identified due to the lack of City-services available for development in the County. Since the County project is not a topic of this report, no further analysis is included; however the FEIR provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential impacts of the “alternative” County project. CONCLUSION This hearing reflects the culmination of several years of coordination between the City, residents and community stakeholders, the Chevron applicant team, the County, and a wide variety of resource agencies to refine the project; to complete environmental analysis; and to outline a process for the remediation, restoration and development of the former tank farm property. The project application is consistent with the stated goals in the AASP and provides for open space and development options. After submittal of the Tentative Tract Map from the Chevron applicant team, staff will return to Planning Commission and City Council to review the annexation request, map and a final version of the DA. Following endorsement of the annexation by the City Council, the annexation request would proceed through the LAFCO hearing process. Staff is requesting the City Council adopt a resolution to certify the Final EIR; and approve amendments to the AASP open space, land use, circulation, utilities and public facilities financing sections. In addition, staff is seeking Council direction on the terms of a Development Agreement. PH2-19 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 20 CONCURRENCES The Natural Resources Manager, Economic Development Manager, and staff from the Public Works, Utilities, and Public Safety Departments have reviewed the project, the FEIR and proposed amendments to the AASP. Their comments and edits have been incorporated in the AASP amendments. FISCAL IMPACT Certification of the FEIR will allow remediation of the property to proceed and make portions of the property available for development. Amendments to the AASP Land Use and, Circulation, and Public Facilities Financing Plan will result in changes to the methodology of financing public improvements in the southern annexation areas. Reorganization of land use designations and roads potentially enhances the City’s ability to attract new business while expediting the completion of area infrastructure and generating additional tax revenue. The draft financing plan updates the costs and share of infrastructure attributed to development in the AASP which leaves a funding gap of approximately $17 Million. A large portion of this gap amount is anticipated to be funded by direct developer construction and grants, or if the Council determines that this infrastructure is a priority, additional City participation may be considered. Whether or not the AASP amendments proposed by Chevron are approved or not, the cost of the required infrastructure to serve existing and anticipated area development has increased and the anticipated buildout scenario has changed. These events have occurred outside of the scope of the Chevron project and are not entirely a result of the AASP amendments. Furthermore, the remediation and restoration of the Chevron property is likely to spur renewed interest in the southern annexation areas potentially leading to further annexation and development in the AASP. ALTERNATIVES General Alternatives 1. Continue the project with direction to staff on changes or additional information in order to take an action at a future hearing. If additional action or direction is needed on the AASP amendments, the Council may adopt a resolution to certify the FEIR while providing direction to staff on items to bring back to Council. Adopting the resolution to certify the FEIR will then allow Chevron to proceed with the County use permit required to allow commencement of the remediation and restoration project. 2. Consider a reduced development scenario as suggested by the FEIR. This would reduce allowed development to levels that are currently below what was anticipated in the 2005 AASP. Such a reduction in development could reduce the amount of funding available to support area infrastructure, making it challenging to balance the demand for additional commercial land space and crucial infrastructure improvements that will be needed over the next 25 years, therefore this alternative is not recommended. PH2-20 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 21 Public Facilities Financing plan alternatives 1. Consider Reduced Infrastructure The City Council may choose to reduce the scope of the infrastructure to be included in the financing plan. However, changes to the infrastructure could result in impacts to levels of service therefore resulting in conflicts with the FEIR. The FEIR identified that some of the circulation improvements to intersections may not be feasible due to right-of-way acquisition issues or cost factors, therefore the traffic impacts associated with these were considered Class 1 (Significant and Unavoidable) impacts in the FEIR. These include the following intersections:  South Higuera Street and Prado Road (improvement cost estimates of $1.64 Million)  South Higuera and Tank Farm Road (improvement cost estimates of $1.31 Million)  Broad Street and Buckley Road (already removed from fee program)  South Higuera and Los Osos Valley Road (already removed from fee program) Because these items were considered significant and unavoidable, they may be removed from the fee program without resulting in additional CEQA ramifications. However, improvements at Prado and Tank Farm along South Higuera have been retained in the fee program because these improvements are important in the near future to help maintain adequate levels of service and a large portion of the work will be feasible without substantial right of way acquisition. Therefore staff is not supportive of this alternative. 2. Consider expediting the improvements to certain infrastructure (i.e. Tank Farm Road) Chevron’s project description includes the completion of four lanes on Tank Farm Road at Phase 4 of the project which is approximately 20 years from now. However, Phase 1 includes new bike lanes, including a Class 1 path along the north side of Tank Farm Road. The Council may wish to implement Tank Farm Road improvements sooner or suggest alternative improvement scenarios. This may also be identified as an item for discussion under the Development Agreement term sheet. Since the FEIR has found that the complete widening of Tank Farm Road is not needed at this time, this alternative is not recommended. 3. Consider the implementation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) or other Land Based Financing The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act was enacted by the California State Legislature in 1982 to provide an alternate means of financing public infrastructure and services subsequent to the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978. The Act permits cities to create defined areas within their jurisdiction and, with support by two-thirds of property owners within the defined area, impose special taxes to pay for the public improvements and services needed to serve that area. A CFD may provide for the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of any real or other tangible property with an estimated useful life of at least five years. The Goodwin study included the analysis of a CFD to finance infrastructure costs in order to reduce the amount of upfront developer equity required. Formation of a CFD PH2-21 AASP Update & Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 22 would require support of 2/3 of property owners. Although the CFD would spread out the payment of infrastructure costs it would increase the total infrastructure burden due to financing and plan management costs. Staff recommends keeping the CFD option in the Financing Plan should AASP property owners choose to act on this option in the future, however Council may ask staff to explore a more pro-active implementation of a land- based financing mechanism such as the CFD. At this time, the Chevron applicant team does not wish to be included in a CFD because they believe it would cost more in the long run and may impact future marketability of the property. Another form of financing is in the form of the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (SCIP). SCIP is a financing program that enables developers to pay most impact fees and finance public improvements through an acquisition agreement that qualify under the 1913/1915 Act (excluding school fees) via tax-exempt bond issuance proceeds. SCIP can be used to directly prepay impact fees or, alternatively, to reimburse the developer after fee payment. The program can be used to enable developers to pay for, or be reimbursed for, all eligible impact fees or for a single impact fee. Moreover, the program may alleviate the need for a fee deferral program by providing the local agency with necessary funds and eliminating the risk of nonpayment by the developer. ATTACHMENTS 1.

The Project Site is located at 276 Tank Farm Road, which is immediately south of the City of San Luis Obispo, in San Luis Obispo County, California. The Project Site is within a decommissioned oil facility originally owned by Union Oil, which reorganized as Unocal in the 1980s and was purchased by Chevron in 2005. See Figure ES-1 for the general location of the project. The City and County have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) concerning each jurisdiction’s role in this process. Pursuant to that MOU, the City and County have agreed to act as co-Lead Agencies for purposes of preparing this EIR. For purposes of ultimately certifying a Final EIR, the City will act as Lead Agency and the County will act as Responsible Agency. In the event that, in acting on any portion of the Project and considering whether to certify the Final EIR, the City declines to certify the Final EIR for any reason, the County will act as Lead Agency for purposes of acting on any portion of the Project and for certifying the Final EIR. This FEIR is an informational document that is being used by the general public and governmental agencies to review and evaluate the Project. The reader should not rely exclusively on the Executive Summary as the sole basis for judgment of the Project and its alternatives. Specifically, the EIR should be consulted for information about the environmental effects associated with the Project and potential mitigation measures to address or minimize those effects. The remainder of the Executive Summary consists of the following sections: • An introduction, which discusses the Notice of Preparation (NOP) process that was used for the EIR and the public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR); • A brief description of the Project; • A discussion of governmental agency oversight and involvement in the development of the remediation project. • A summary of key impacts and mitigation measures associated with the Project; • A brief description of the alternatives evaluated throughout this EIR; • A summary of the Environmentally Superior Alternative; and • A discussion of areas of known controversy and uncertainty. A set of Impact Summary Tables is provided after the Executive Summary. These tables summarize the impacts and mitigation measures for the Project. The impacts and mitigation measures are discussed in further detail in Section 4.0. The alternatives to the Project are discussed in Section 5.0.

Introduction The purpose of the Executive Summary and Impact Summary Tables is to provide the reader with a brief overview of the Project, the anticipated environmental effects, and the potential mitigation measures that could reduce the severity of the impacts associated with the Project. The reader should not, however, rely exclusively on the Executive Summary as the sole basis for judgment of the Project and its alternatives. This FEIR was prepared in accordance with State and San Luis Obispo City (City) and County (County) administrative guidelines established to comply with CEQA. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines, the City and County worked together to prepare an Initial Study for the Project and solicited comments through distribution of an NOP (issued in February 27, 2009). The scoping documents and comments received in response to the NOP were used to help direct the scope of the analysis and the technical studies in this EIR. Copies of the Initial Study, NOP, and the comments received in response to the NOP can be found in Appendix I. The Draft EIR was released on June 20, 2013 for a 45-day public comment period. During the public comment period a number of public workshops were held on the Draft EIR to provide the public with an opportunity to ask questions about the Draft EIR. Volume II of the FEIR contains a copy of all of the comment letters received on the Draft EIR and the responses to those comments. Volume II is provided in electronic format on the CD attached to the inside front cover of the FEIR. Revision marks are used throughout this FEIR to show where changes have been made to the DEIR. Areas where the text has been revised are shown by solid vertical lines on the left margin of the page. In addition to the City and County, a number of other governmental agencies require a CEQA analysis of the Project in order to act on the Project. These agencies include the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (SLOAPCD), CALFire, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), and the Airport Land Use Commission. B. Proposed Project Description The Project entails a complex permitting landscape for a couple of reasons. First, although the Project Site is within the County, it is also located within the City’s Urban Reserve Line (URL) and Urban Services Line (USL) and has been identified by the City for annexation. Second, the Project is broken into two larger phases: remediation and development. The County is responsible for the remediation phase, while the development phase would be regulated by either the County or City, depending on whether or not the Project Site is annexed into the City. In addition, the Project Site is located within an area that is subject to the Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP) so will need approval from the Airport Land Use Commission. The remediation and restoration component includes several activities proposed to occur over a three-year period: demolition of existing buildings and selected reservoir remnants, excavation of top soil and sub-surface material, site re-contouring, capping, and increasing the quantity of wetland and rare plant habitats. Re-contouring would be done mostly using on-site materials. The remediation portion of the Project is based on an extensive collaborative process with resource agencies that have concurred with the Applicant’s proposed remediation approach, while taking into consideration the proposed future uses at the Project Site. Attachment 1 PH2-25 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-4 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR The second component of the Project would be development of portions of the Project Site. If the Project is annexed into the City, there would need to be amendments to the City Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP), the General Plan, the Airport Compatibility Open Space Plan (ACOS), a tentative Tract Map, as well as other City permits. If the development is in the County, then a General Plan amendment and conditional use permit would be required. The Applicant’s goal is to develop approximately 17 percent of the Project Site with approximately 800,000 square feet (floor area) of business park and service commercial uses. Development would be implemented in five phases over a period of approximately 25 years; each phase would create approximately 160,000 square feet of leasable floor area. The proposal includes designation of approximately 15 acres for recreational use (may include up to two acres of public land) to be developed by a subsequent Project Site/individual lot owner. The development would be essentially the same for both the City and County options. The only major difference would be that the County option would require the construction of a wastewater treatment facility on-site and use of on-site groundwater to serve the development. The Project Site is included in the City’s Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP) that anticipates future annexation of this and other properties in the area given its proximity to existing City boundaries, existing industrial uses, and the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SLOCRA). In addition, the City’s AASP encourages the environmentally sensitive portions of the Project Site – comprised of approximately 250 acres – be kept in open space. The Applicant is proposing a Development Agreement (DA) for consideration by the City Council in association with a potential annexation of the Project Site. The purpose of the DA is to ensure that development impact fees and project entitlements will remain stable throughout the phases of development. The City will use the mitigations identified in this EIR as input in the development of the DA. The mitigation measures included in the EIR will help the City identify the infrastructure improvement that may be needed for the development project. Given the uncertain nature of the DA and annexation processes, the Applicant has also filed a land division map application with the County. The objective of the dual approach by the Applicant is to provide an alternative development option in the event that the City review and approval process for annexation and development is unsuccessful. Approved development would either be under County or City jurisdiction, and such approvals would follow approval of required amendments to the County General Plan and/or the City’s AASP. The Project Site is divided into north and south sections by Tank Farm Road (see Figure ES-2). It is bordered by light commercial and industrial development to the east and west, the SLOCRA to the southeast, agricultural and pastoral lands with scattered residences to the south, and a mobile home park to the northeast. The existing buildings in the northwest part of the Project Site are used as the Applicant’s local headquarters for a variety of environmental and remediation operations. The buildings are proposed for demolition as part of the Project. Attachment 1 PH2-26 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-5 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Figure ES-2 Project Site Remediation Project The remediation portion of the Project addresses soil and groundwater contamination identified as potential human health or ecological risks as agreed upon by the resources agencies participating in the Surface Evaluation, Remediation, and Restoration Team (SERRT) process and reviewing the proposed remedial actions for the Project Site. The Project includes restoration of wetland and rare plant habitats affected by the contamination and those that could be potentially affected by implementing the remedial actions. The petroleum-related material affecting the Project Site includes oil found in the vicinity of the former reservoirs in the subsurface at an average depth of 25 to 40 feet below ground surface (bgs), but as deep as 60 feet. At the surface, crude oil expressions range from solid asphalt-like coke to a low-density (light) non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL). General remedial actions proposed by the Applicant as part of the remediation phase of the Project include excavation and off-site transport, capping, long-term monitoring, and institutional controls. Attachment 1 PH2-27 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-6 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR The restoration phase as proposed by the Applicant would restore areas affected by the remediation, improve habitat value and function, improve hydrologic function and conform to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidance. Impacts to waters/wetlands due to remediation efforts are expected on 42.93 acres; impacts to waters/wetlands due to development efforts are expected on 3.71 acres. The Project would include the restoration of these wetlands onsite. City Development Plan The City Development Plan proposes development of the Project Site with approximately 803,000 square feet of commercial and industrial floor area with associated parking, landscaping, open space, recreational playing fields, bicycle and pedestrian trails. The City Development Plan could also include land for the City to construct public facilities such as a transit maintenance yard and storage facility or a fire station and training facility. The development would be phased over a 25-year period. The proposed land uses under the City Development Plan include 27.85 acres of Business Park development (BP-SP), 26.01 acres of Service-Commercial development (C-S-SP), 15.05 acres of Public Facilities (PF-SP) intended for recreational ball fields, 13.62 acres of public right-of-way (e.g., streets), and the approximately 250-acre balance as Open Space (C/OS-SP). See Figure ES-3. The Applicant-proposed City Development Plan trades approximately nine acres of developable area in the northwest portion of the Project Site and on the west edge of the area south of Tank Farm Road for 16 acres in the northeast portion of the Project Site. The City would provide water, sewer, and public services such as police and fire. The City recently installed a sewer trunk line in Tank Farm Road along the property’s frontage (July 2009). The Applicant would extend the potable and recycled water mains and utilities to the developable areas. Improvements and modifications would be made to existing roadways in the Project area. Tank Farm Road would be widened to four lanes from Acacia Creek in the east to the western boundary of the property. Santa Fe Road, south of Tank Farm Road, would be re-aligned and tied into Tank Farm Road. New roads would also be constructed north of Tank Farm Road. The City Development Plan would also require amendments to the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP) and the Airport Compatibility Open Space Plan (ACOS). Some of the major changes to the AASP would include modification of some of the zoning on the Project Site, modification of the boundaries of the Cluster Development Zone, elimination of the Unocal Collector Road, elimination of the Class I multi-use trail to the south, and installation of a signalized intersection at Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe Road (the AASP calls for the use of a roundabout at this intersection). Amendments to the ACOS would include modification of the boundaries of the reserve spaces and the location of the reserve areas. Attachment 1 PH2-28 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-7 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Figure ES-3 City Development Plan County Development Plan The County Development Plan is similar to the City Development Plan with the primary difference being that the County Development Plan proposes more rapid (Phase 1) development in the eastern end of the Project Site (south of Tank Farm Road), where approximately 1 acre of land designated as Industrial (I), would be used to construct an on-site wastewater treatment facility. The Applicant’s goal under the County Development Plan would be to develop a portion of the Project Site with an approximate 803,000 square feet (floor area) for commercial and industrial services with associated parking, landscaping, open space, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and Project Site amenities (the same amount as the City Plan). The development would be phased over 25 years. The proposed land uses under the County Development Plan include 26.56 acres of Commercial Service (CS), 27.29 acres of Industrial, Attachment 1 PH2-29 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-8 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR and Recreation (REC) consisting of 249.84 acres of open space and 15.05 acres as active sports fields, and 13.63 acres of public right-of-way (e.g., streets). See Figure ES-4. The Applicant-proposed County Development Plan proposes transferring the development potential of the Industrial zoned land identified in the County General Plan (north of the Northwest Operations Area) to the northeastern portion of the Project Site. The County would provide public services such as police and fire. Water for the development would be provided by on-site groundwater wells. A wastewater treatment plant would be built on the site to handle the sewer needs of the Project. Improvements and modifications would be made to existing roadways in the Project area. Tank Farm Road would be widened to four lanes from Acacia Creek in the east to the western boundary of the property. Santa Fe Road, south of Tank Farm Road, would be re-aligned and tied into Tank Farm Road. New roads would also be constructed north of Tank Farm Road. Figure ES-4 County Development Plan Attachment 1 PH2-30 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-9 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR The Applicant proposes amending the Land Use Element of the County General Plan, including the San Luis Obispo Area Plan, to designate approximately 27 acres to Commercial Services, approximately 26 acres to Industrial, 265 acres for Open Space, and to allow for the remaining 14 acres to be used for streets. C. Agency Oversight and Involvement A large number of governmental agencies have been involved in oversite and development of the remediation project at the Tank Farm site. The Applicant’s characterization of the contamination has included, in addition to their identification and delineation, an evaluation of their importance relative to human and ecological health and the need for their remediation. In order to validate the characterization process, the Applicant entered into two cooperative programs resulting in regulatory agency participation and third-party expert review: the Remediation Technology Panel (RTP) and the SERRT. The first of these collaborative processes, the RTP, was established through a cooperative agreement between the Applicant and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). The RTP consisted of three experts drawn from academia with expertise in the characterization and remediation of petroleum-affected sites, whose purview focused on soil- and groundwater-related issues. They identified data gaps within the existing site characterization, guided and reviewed subsequent characterization activities, and published a report summarizing their consensus understanding of subsurface issues at the Project Site (RTP 2006). A key finding of that report was that petroleum in the subsurface was effectively immobile and that the migration of dissolved-phase constituents was controlled by natural biodegradation processes. This finding, which was supported by a specific evaluation of natural attenuation processes, formed the basis of evaluating MNA as an appropriate remedial technology for impacted groundwater. The second of the cooperative efforts, the SERRT, was established in 2002 at the suggestion of staff at the RWQCB. This action was suggested in recognition of findings of studies which detailed the extent of sensitive resources on the Project Site, and the subsequent desire to consider a risk-based remediation program for the property. As part of the SERRT process the Applicant, regulatory agencies, and local municipalities have reviewed data, evaluated assessments, identified data gaps, established the risk associated with a given contamination source, and determined the extent of the remediation required for the Project Site. The SERRT formed two subgroups, the Human Health Risk Working Group (HHRWG) and the Ecological Risk Working Group (ERWG). Both groups included the Applicant, its representatives and consultants, and the RWQCB. In addition, the HHRWG included representatives from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, the San Luis Obispo County Environmental Health Division, and the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (SLOAPCD). The ERWG in addition included representatives from the City, the County Planning Department, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition to preparing reports documenting the human health risk assessment (HHRA) and predictive ecological risk assessment (pERA), the SERRT prepared a consensus summary document listing its recommendations for risk management at the Project Site, the Risk Attachment 1 PH2-31 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-10 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Management Summary (BBL 2005). In order to focus risk assessment efforts, certain areas of the Project Site, mainly those affected by liquid or plastic hydrocarbon surface expressions, were excluded from the risk assessments on the understanding that remediation of those areas was a “must”, and the Applicant would undertake remediation there without the need for further detailed characterization or assessment. The culmination of the Applicant’s characterization efforts was the Risk Management Summary, which identified the contamination at the Project Site requires remediation. The SERRT ratified the Risk Management Summary on December 12, 2005. The Risk Management Summary also provided recommendations on treatment strategies based on levels and types of contamination, the potential ecological risks, and the potential impacts of clean-up. Contamination requiring remediation included surface liquid hydrocarbons impacting seasonal wetlands in Reservoirs 5 and 7, plastic surface hydrocarbons found across the Project Site (mostly in low-lying areas), groundwater affected by LNAPL and benzene, arsenic in soil, asphalt affecting wetlands, and the potential for vapor intrusion to affect buildings. Based upon the Risk Management Summary, a Feasibility Study (FS) was conducted that considered remedial activities that supported development consistent with the land use plans available at that time. The FS evaluated various remedial alternatives that addressed site contamination issues and selected a preferred remedy. The study was ratified by the SERRT on March 15, 2007. D. Proposed Project Impacts and Mitigation Measures In the Impact Summary Tables and throughout this EIR, impacts of the Project and alternatives have been classified using the categories Class I, II, III, and IV as described below. • Class I – Significant impacts that cannot be mitigated to less than significant levels, • Class II – Significant impacts that can be mitigated to less than significant levels, • Class III – Less than significant impacts without mitigation, and • Class IV – Beneficial impacts. The term “significance” is used in these tables and throughout this EIR to characterize the magnitude of the projected impact. For the purposes of this EIR, a significant impact is a substantial, or potentially substantial, change to resources in the local Project area or the area adjacent to the Project in comparison to the thresholds of significance established for the resource or issue area. These thresholds of significance are discussed by issue area in Section 4.0. The impacts along with the identified mitigation measures for each impact are shown in the Impact Summary Tables, immediately following this Executive Summary. Each issue area section of the Impact Summary Tables describes and classifies each impact, lists recommended mitigation, and states the level of impact with mitigation. The remainder of this section presents a brief summary of the key impacts and mitigation measures for each issue area. The reader should refer to the Impact Summary Tables and Section 4.0 of the EIR for a more detailed discussion of the impacts and associated mitigation measures. Attachment 1 PH2-32 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-11 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Air Quality There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) air quality impacts from the remediation component of the Project. Construction and operational activities associated with the remediation component of the Project could result in air toxic, fugitive dust, diesel PM and ROG + NOx emissions, which were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Some of the mitigation measures identified for these impacts include use of CARB Tier 3 certified diesel construction equipment and securing off-site reductions in ROG + NOx emissions if thresholds are exceeded. Significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts from fugitive dust and diesel PM emissions could occur during the development components of the Project. This is primarily due to vehicle emissions associated with the development. Mitigation measures addressing alternative transportation modes such as transit, and bicycle would serve to reduce these emissions, but they would still remain significant and unavoidable. Construction and operational activities associated with the development component of the Project could result in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and ROG + NOx emissions, which were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Some of the mitigation measures identified for these impacts include implementing a Transportation Demand Management program for employees and securing off-site reductions in GHG and ROG + NOx emissions if thresholds are exceeded. Biological Resources There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to biological resources from the remediation or development component of the Project. Impacts to Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (VPFS) could occur during remediation activities. Specimens of the federally threatened VPFS could be destroyed during soil remediation with natural and artificial wetlands. Impacts to VPFS were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Mitigation measures covering repopulation and collection of cysts following U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) protocols would reduce this impact to less than significant levels. Construction and operational activities associated with the remediation component of the Project could result in impacts to habitat for listed and special status species, loss of biological functions of wetlands, native grasslands and habitat for rare plants and animals, adversely affected federal wetlands, habitat alteration, temporary migration impediments, and the reduction in size and diversity of plant and animal populations. These impacts were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Some of the mitigation measures identified for these impacts include implementing a Final Restoration Plan, conducting updated surveys of sensitive species habitats, employing an independent biological monitor, delineating sensitive species habitat with specific labeling, and minimizing project-related nighttime traffic. Construction and operational activities associated with the development component of the Project could result in loss of biological functions of wetlands, native grasslands and habitat for rare plants and animals, temporary migration impediments, and the reduction in size and diversity of plant and animal populations. These impacts were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Some of the mitigation measures identified for these impacts include implementing a Final Restoration Plan, monitoring the function of the restored native grassland Attachment 1 PH2-33 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-12 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR habitat, excluding hikers, pets and cyclists from sensitive habitats, shielding light spillage into adjacent preserved open space areas, and preparing a WWTF spill/discharge plan (County scenario) with measures to prevent untreated discharge or accidental releases. During both phases of the Project, the Applicant would be required to obtain all applicable federal and state permits and agreements, including a USFWS Incidental Take Statement and Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) and a streambed alteration permit from California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Transportation and Circulation There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to transportation and circulation from the remediation component of the Project. Significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts from cumulative traffic conditions could occur during the Development Project. Five intersections and two freeway segments would be impacted. Even with requirements for improvements designed to address congestion issues, these impacts cannot be fully mitigated. Construction and operational activities associated with the remediation component of the Project could result in roadway impacts due to the potential obstruction of heavy vehicles creating an unsafe situation. These impacts were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). A mitigation measure designed to address these impacts includes the implementation of a Construction Traffic Management Plan that identifies haul routes, a traffic control plan, and a scheduling plan. Construction and operational activities associated with the development component of the Project could result in one intersection operating at unacceptable levels, increased transit ridership, bicycle and pedestrian network impacts, and site access issues. These impacts were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Some of the mitigation measures identified for these impacts include implementing previously scheduled improvements, installing a multi-lane roundabout at the new intersection at Tank Farm Road and northern leg of Santa Fe Road, installing a bus stop at the east and west end of the Project along Tank Farm Road, installing a continuous Class I multi-use path along the north side of Tank Farm Road, and implementing a Construction Traffic Management Plan. Water Resources There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to water resources from the remediation or development component of the Project. Implementation of the County Development Plan could result in the migration of hydrocarbons from the shallow ground water to the deep groundwater wells, which was found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II). The mitigation measure for this impact includes the implementation of a sentinel monitoring program that would include wells positioned and constructed to specifically monitor inflowing water in the vicinity of the groundwater wells that would provide information on any approaching petroleum-related constituents of concern. If petroleum-related constituents of concern are detected, then a groundwater treatment system would need to be installed that uses carbon canisters, or similar technology, to remove any hydrocarbons. Attachment 1 PH2-34 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-13 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Impacts to water resources during the remediation component of the Project that are less than significant with mitigation (Class II) include surface water quality degradation, stormwater mobilization of contaminant constituents, and increased storm runoff flowing onto erodible soils. Mitigation measures for these impacts include directing and controlling pollutant runoff, implementing Surface Water Quality Management Practices, treating contaminated soil, and preparing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Wastewater There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to wastewater from the remediation component of the Project, or from the City Development Plan component of the Project An impact to wastewater during the County’s Development Plan that is significant and unavoidable (Class I) includes discharges from the WWTF increasing surface water flow rates and affecting downstream properties. The mitigation measure for this impact includes implementing a Wastewater Discharge Plan for the WWTF. Even with the implementation of this measure, the impact would still be significant. There are no less than significant with mitigation (Class II) impacts to wastewater from the remediation component of the Project. An impact to wastewater during the County’s Development Plan that is less than significant with mitigation (Class II) includes the WWTF discharges increasing pollutants into the existing drainages. The mitigation measure for this impact includes approval of a tertiary treatment system and implementing a quarterly monitoring program that provides for sampling and testing for all required constituent compounds. Geological and Soil Resources There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to geological and soil resources associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. An impact to geological and soil resources during the remediation component of the Project that is less than significant with mitigation (Class II) includes erosion-induced siltation of nearby waterways as a result of ground disturbing activities. Mitigation measures for this impact include preparation of a SWPPP, an Erosion Control Plan, and a Wet Weather Plan. Impacts to geological resources during the development component of the Project that are less than significant with mitigation (Class II) include erosion-induced siltation of nearby waterways, loss of property, and risk to human life due to seismically-induced ground shaking, hydroconsolidation, excessive settlement and expansive soils. Mitigation measures for these impacts include compliance with all applicable codes and regulations, conduct of a detailed geotechnical evaluation, assurance of proper compaction of unconsolidated soils, and implementation of structural measures to assure adequate equipment support as well as design requirements for pad development/construction. Noise and Vibration There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to noise and vibration associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. Impacts to noise and vibration during the remediation component of the Project that are less than significant with mitigation (Class II) include increased noise and vibration levels due to Attachment 1 PH2-35 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-14 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR construction machinery and operational activities, such as rock blasting. Mitigation measures for these impacts include implementing crushing plant setbacks from residential receptors, limiting construction hours, and developing and implementing a Blasting Plan. Impacts to noise and vibration during the development component of the Project that are less than significant with mitigation (Class II) include increased noise levels due to construction machinery and operational activities and exposure to the development by airport activities. Mitigation measures for these impacts include implementing crushing plant setbacks from residential receptors, limiting construction hours, and incorporating noise attenuation design features in facilities within the Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP) noise contours. Cultural Resources and Archaeology There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to cultural resources associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. Impacts to cultural resources during the remediation and development components of the Project that are less than significant with mitigation (Class II) include historical resources impacts, and unanticipated disturbance to human remains and paleontological resources due to remediation activities. Mitigation measures for these impacts include developing a monitoring plan and halting area activities for expert assessment when resources are discovered. Aesthetics and Visual Resources There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to aesthetics and visual resources associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. Less than significant with mitigation (Class II) impacts to aesthetics and visual resources could occur during the development component of the Project due to degradation of the site’s existing visual character and introduction of new sources of light and glare. Mitigation measures identified for these impacts include conducting an ALUP consistency review for new construction as well as consistency reviews for the AASP and Community Design Guidelines. Other measures include implementing a lighting plan and lighting operation schedule, minimizing glare, and prohibiting laser light demonstrations. With these measures the impacts would be less than significant. An impact to aesthetics and visual resources during the remediation component of the Project that is less than significant with mitigation (Class II) includes degradation to the visual character or quality of the Project Site and surrounding viewshed. The mitigation measure for this impact includes ensuring that graded areas not built on within two years of Project initiation are temporarily landscaped or otherwise maintained to cover exposed soils and maintain growth of weeds. The development component of the Project was found to have less than significant (Class II) impacts related to conflicts with the City’s AASP and the County’s ALUP. Mitigation measures for these impacts include implementing the mitigation measures previously discussed for visual character as well as for the County, prohibiting uses that regularly produce visually significant quantities of smoke. Hazards and Hazardous Materials A significant and unavoidable (Class I) impact to hazards and hazardous materials could occur during the remediation component of the Project due to wetland restoration that could result in Attachment 1 PH2-36 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-15 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR an increased risk of aircraft bird strikes. As a result, the impact would remain significant and unavoidable. The Applicant has proposed replacing wetland areas impacted by the remediation component of the Project at a 1.7 to 1 ratio. The biological resources section of the EIR has a mitigation measure that would require offsetting the remediation component of the Project impacts to wetlands at a ratio of 1 to 1 for disturbed wetlands and 2 to 1 for wetland that are permanently lost due to the development. These wetland areas would all be located within the airport runway safety zones. Even at a 1 to 1 replacement ratio, the restoration activities would improve the value and functions of the wetlands, which could make them more attractive to birds. In addition, with the re-establishment of normal water flow throughout the site, other additional degraded wetlands could recover and provide additional habitat functions. The natural recovery of degraded wetlands, combined with mitigation measures, particularly restoration of on-site, existing wetlands, would result in a potential increase in the quantity and quality of wetland habitat and therefore possibly increase bird populations. Therefore, the impact associated with bird strike risk has remained significant and unavoidable (Class I). An impact to hazards and hazardous materials during the remediation component of the Project that is less than significant with mitigation (Class II) includes increased asbestos exposure risk. The mitigation measure for this impact includes implementing measures from the air quality issue area. As part of the remediation component of the Project, the Applicant proposes to make some modification to Reservoir 2 to improve airport safety by addressing concerns raised by the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC). The main runway alignment intersects the reservoir, which is now a significant feature within the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). The ALUC identified this feature as a safety concern if an aircraft had to make an emergency landing within the RPZ. These modifications were found to be a beneficial impact (Class IV). There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to hazards and hazardous materials associated with the development components of the Project. Impacts to hazards and hazardous materials during the development component of the Project that are less than significant with mitigation (Class II) include potential health risks from exposure to residual contamination and the potential risks associated with the future use of acutely hazardous materials (AHMs). The mitigation measures for these impacts include securing deed restrictions specifying trenching limits and limits of on-site storage of AHMs. For the County Development Plan, risks associated with the WWTF chemical usage, and with the WWTF polishing ponds and aircraft bird strikes are less than significant with mitigation (Class II). The mitigation measures for these impacts include limits of on-site storage of chlorine and sulfur dioxide, and prohibition of the use of polishing ponds for the WWTF. Population and Housing There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts or less than significant with mitigation (Class II) impacts to population and housing associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. However, an impact to population and housing that is less than significant (Class III) includes the project inducing substantial growth in the area by proposing new businesses in the area. No mitigation measures are required for this impact. Attachment 1 PH2-37 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-16 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Public Services and Utilities There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to public services and utilities associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. For the City Development Plan, impacts to demand for fire protection services were found to be less than significant with mitigation (Class II) since the response times for the City Fire Department are longer than the standards adopted in the City Fire Department Master Plan. Mitigation measures include the Applicant deeding property at the Project Site to the City that could be used for a future City fire station, and a requirement that the City deem that adequate fire suppression services and facilities, consistent with adopted travel time standards, are available, or will be made available concurrent with development at the Project Site. If, at time of development it is determined that the development site is outside of adequate response time zones, the Developer/Applicant could finance improvements that would alleviate the deficiencies. Under the County Development Plan fire protection services were found to be less than significant (Class III) since the CALFIRE response times to the Project Site are adequate, and the Applicant is required to pay the County’s fire service mitigation fee. Recreation There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts or less than significant with mitigation (Class II) impacts to recreation associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. However, an impact to recreation that is less than significant (Class III) includes the potential effect remediation activities could have on existing recreational facilities and users. No mitigation measures are required for this impact. The development component of the Project would include the addition of ballfields and bicycle paths, which would be a beneficial impact (Class IV). Agricultural Resources There are no significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to agricultural resources associated with the remediation or development components of the Project. The Project could result in less than significant with mitigation (Class II) impacts to productivity of adjacent farmlands due to construction activities during both the remediation and development portions of the Project. Dust generated by the demolition of the existing buildings and structures in the Northwest Operations Area, pipeline decommissioning activities, remediation activities, and development construction activities could produce a significant short-term impact and temporarily affect the productivity of row crops. Implementation of the fugitive dust mitigation measures identified in air quality would reduce these impacts to less than significant. E. Description of Project Alternatives Alternatives to the Project have been developed per CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6. This document has used an alternative screening analysis to select the alternatives evaluated in detail in the EIR. The screening analysis provides the detailed explanation of why some of the alternatives were rejected for further analysis and ensures that only potentially environmentally preferred alternatives are evaluated and compared in the EIR. Please see Chapter 5 of the EIR for a detailed discussion of the screened alternatives. The following are the alternatives that were selected as part of the screening analysis for more detailed review. Attachment 1 PH2-38 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-17 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR No Project Alternative With the No Project Alternative, development of the Project Site would not occur, and the Project Site would remain as open space. However, it is likely that the RWQCB and/or CDFW would still require some level of remediation of the site, even with no development, to assure protection of human health and ecological receptors. For the purposes of the EIR, it has been assumed that the remediation and restoration of the Project Site under the No Project Alternative would be similar to the proposed Project. The major change would be that the remediation portion of the Project would not include the construction of the rough pads for the proposed development. Instead, the areas that are proposed for development would be returned to their natural grade and revegetated. None of the proposed infrastructure improvements associated with roads would occur as part of the No Project Alternative. Only the storm water management improvements needed to support the remediation and restoration effort would be constructed on-site. The reader is referred to Section 2.3 of the EIR for a detailed description of the remediation and restoration activities that would occur under the No Project Alternative. Replace Remedial Caps with Excavation This alternative is similar to the proposed Project, except areas designated for remedial capping would be excavated and then backfilled. In addition, soil with elevated arsenic concentrations will be removed and transported off-site for disposal. This alternative would result in the removal from the site of a larger amount of the constituents that were identified in the Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) and Predictive Ecological Risk Assessment (pERA), as being a potential threat to human health and site ecology (mainly crude oil, lead, arsenic, PCBs, and benzene), than the proposed Project. This alternative assumes that most of the excavated material would be trucked to the Santa Maria Landfill for use in the closure of landfill cells as part of the Landfill’s Non-Hazardous Hydrocarbon Impacted Soil (NHIS) program. It is possible that some of the excavated material, particularly arsenic-impacted soils, would not meet the acceptance criteria for that program and would need to be transported to another disposal facility, such as Buttonwillow in Kern County or Kettleman Hills in Fresno County, if it did not meet the NHIS criteria for the Santa Maria Landfill. Reduced Development The reduced development alternative would have approximately 562,000 square feet of commercial and industrial floor area with associated parking, landscaping, open space, recreational playing fields, bicycle and pedestrian trails. This represents a 30 percent reduction in building floor space over the proposed Project. Under this alternative, no development would occur on the western portion of the site just north of Tank Farm Road. Known as the Northwest Operations Area, this portion of the Project Site contains the highest level of contamination. The Northwest Operations Area would be recontoured to a natural grade and then revegetated. All other remediation restoration activities associated with the proposed Project would remain the same under this alternative. This alternative would apply to both the City and County Development Plans. Attachment 1 PH2-39 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-18 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR F. Environmentally Superior Alternative This section summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each of the alternatives as compared to the Project. A more detailed comparison of the Project and the alternatives can be found in Section 5.4 of the EIR. This comparative analysis was used to select the environmentally superior alternative as required by CEQA, which states that “if the environmentally superior alternative is the No Project Alternative, the EIR shall also identify an environmentally superior alternative among the other alternatives” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(e)(2)). Remediation Alternatives No Project Alternative There is very little difference in the environmental impacts of remediation under the No Project Alternative and the proposed Project. Remediation under the No Project Alternative would not eliminate or change the significance (i.e., impact classification) of any of the environmental impacts of the proposed remediation component of the Project. Remediation under the No Project Alternative would reduce the severity of all of the air emission impacts. Impacts in the other issue areas would remain essentially the same as for the proposed remediation component of the Project. Given that remediation under the No Project Alternative would reduce the severity of a number of air quality impacts, it was found to be the environmentally superior alternative. However, if the Project Site was remediated under the No Project Alternative, it would have to remain as open space and no development could occur. As such, remediation under the No Project Alternative would not meet any of the development objectives of the Project. CEQA requires that if the environmentally superior alternative is the No Project Alternative, then the next most environmentally preferred alternative must also be identified. Replace Remedial Caps with Excavation This alternative would not eliminate or reduce the severity of any of the environmental impacts associated with the proposed remediation component of the Project. The severity of a number of impacts identified for the proposed remediation component of the Project would increase with this alternative (air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology, transportation, noise, etc.). This alternative would result in the removal of more of the hydrocarbon impacted material from the site than the proposed Project. However, the level of human health and ecological risk would remain essentially the same as for the proposed Project. The main reason for this is that with the proposed Project the former reservoirs would be capped with clean soil/gravel, and vapor barriers would be installed. These remedial methods would provide essentially the same levels of protection and risk reduction as excavation based upon the type of contamination present at the Project Site (mainly lead, arsenic, PCBs, and benzene). The remedial cap replacement with excavation alternative would provide no reduction in the severity of any of the impacts identified for the proposed remediation component of the Project. Therefore, the proposed remediation component of the Project was found, in comparison to the No Project Alternative, to be the next environmentally superior alternative. Attachment 1 PH2-40 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-19 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Development Alternatives No Project Alternative The portion of the No Project Alternative covering development would eliminate all of the development impacts of the proposed Project, since no development would occur. Although it would also eliminate the beneficial impacts to recreation since the ball fields and bike paths would not be built, the development portion of the No Project Alternative remains the clear environmentally superior alternative. The No Project Alternative would not meet any of the development objectives of the Project. CEQA requires that if the environmentally superior alternative is the No Project Alternative, then the next most environmentally preferred alternative must also be identified. Reduced Development Alternative The reduced development alternative would reduce the impact classification associated with diesel particulate emissions from significant and unavoidable (Class I) to less than significant with mitigation (Class II). Fugitive dust emissions would remain Class I, but would be reduced in severity. Traffic impacts to five intersections and two freeway segments under the cumulative conditions would be reduced in severity, but would remain a Class I impact for this alternative. It should be noted that the traffic impact of the Project under the existing conditions (i.e., the baseline) would be less than significant (Class II) for this alternative . For the County development option, this alternative would also reduce the severity of one significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts (discharges from the wastewater treatment plant increasing surface water flows during storm events). However, this impact would remain significant and unavoidable (Class I) for the reduced development alternative. The reduced development alternative would meet all but one of the objectives of the proposed Project. The Applicant has stated that any reduction in building square footage would not meet objective #5 that states, “develop an economically viable commercial project with infrastructure and development phased over 25 years”. The Applicant’s position has been that all of the building square footage would be needed to allow for the development of the public infrastructure that would be required for the proposed Project, and that any reduction in the building square footage would make the Project uneconomical. The EIR does not address the issue of economic feasibility. With the reduced development alternative the proposed building square footage would be less than what was envisioned in the City’s Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP) and would be well below the allowable building and population densities allowed under the Airport Area Specific Plan. From an environmental standpoint, the reduced development alternative would eliminate one significant and unavoidable (Class I) Project impact (the portion of AQ.7 covering diesel particulate emissions) and reduce the severity of the remaining significant and unavoidable portion of AQ.7 covering fugitive dust emissions. The alternative would also reduce the severity of the significant and unavoidable (Class I) cumulative traffic impact (T.5-Traffic Impacts to Five Intersections and Two Freeway Segments under the Cumulative Conditions). However, the traffic and fugitive dust impacts would remain significant and unavoidable (Class I) for this alternative. Attachment 1 PH2-41 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-20 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR Given that the reduced development alternative would eliminate the Class I impact associated with diesel particulate emissions (first part of AQ.7) and would reduce the severity of two other Class I impacts (the second part of AQ.7 covering fugitive dust emissions and T.5 covering cumulative traffic impacts), it was found, in comparison to the No Project Alternative, to be the next environmentally superior alternative. G. Known Areas of Controversy and Uncertainty According to Section 15123 of the CEQA Guidelines, the EIR shall identify “areas of controversy known to the Lead Agency including issues raised by agencies and the public.” There are two key issues of controversy that have been raised with regard to the Project. Level of Cleanup of Contamination at the Project Site A number of stakeholders have raised the issue that the Applicant should do more to remediate the Project Site by removing more of the existing contamination. Stakeholders have wanted to see increased excavations that would remove more of the contamination. In determining the level of remediation that would need to occur at the Project Site, a Surface Evaluation, Remediation, and Restoration Team (SERRT) was formed. The SERRT formed two subgroups, the Human Health Risk Working Group (HHRWG) and the Ecological Risk Working Group (ERWG). Both groups included the Applicant, its representatives and consultants, and the RWQCB. In addition, the HHRWG included representatives from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, the San Luis Obispo County Environmental Health Division, and the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (SLOAPCD). The ERWG in addition included representatives from the City, the County Planning Department, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the USFWS, and the USACOE. As part of the SERRT process a Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) and a Predictive Ecological Risk Assessment (pERA) were developed for the Project Site. The HHRA evaluated potential human health risks at the Project Site using current U.S. EPA and CalEPA methodologies. Risks determined in the HHRA are driven primarily by the presence of arsenic and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in soil. The HHRA evaluated the potential cancer risk and noncancer hazard to future site users identified in the City and County Development Plans from chemicals known to be present in soil, soil gas, surface water and groundwater at the Project Site. As discussed in the Hazards and Hazardous Materials Section of the EIR (Section 4.11) these risks were found to be less than significant with the implementation of the proposed remediation. In addition, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and the County of San Luis Obispo Environmental Health Services have both submitted letters explicitly stating that the revised HHRA is adequate. These letters are included in Appendix H.2 of the EIR. The pERA was used to look at impacts of the contamination on terrestrial plants and wildlife. In general terms, terrestrial/wetland plants and terrestrial/sediment invertebrates are the most sensitive receptors evaluated in the pERA, especially in terms of risk due to petroleum exposure. The main potential risks to wildlife identified in the pERA are from exposure to lead and to a lesser extent arsenic. With the implementation of the remediation component of the Project, which would involve mainly excavations and remedial caps, the impacts to biological resources Attachment 1 PH2-42 Executive Summary December 2013 ES-21 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR were found to be less than significant. Discussion on the pERA can be found in Section 4.2 (Biological Resources) and Section 4.11 (Hazards and Hazardous Materials). The culmination of the Applicant’s characterization and risk assessment efforts was the Risk Management Summary, which identified contamination at the Project Site requiring remediation as agreed by the SERRT. The Risk Management Summary provided recommendations on treatment strategies based on levels and types of contamination, the potential ecological risks, and the potential impacts of clean-up. The result of the SERRT process was the development of the Remedial Action Plan (RAP). The Remedial Action Plan (RAP) provides regulatory agencies, the municipalities with jurisdiction over the site, and the public with detailed information on how the Applicant will implement the remedial actions agreed to by the SERRT. The remediation component of the Project was developed using a human health and ecological risk based approach, and would include a combination of excavations, remedial caps, institutional controls and long-term monitoring developed as part of the SERRT process. The remediation approach was developed to reduce the levels of risk without the significant ecological impacts associated with a large excavation project. The goal of the remediation that would occur in sensitive habitat areas would be to minimize environmental impacts to the extent feasible, while assuring that after remediation, the Project Site is protective of human health and the ecology. As part of the EIR, a number of remediation alternatives were developed that would involve increased levels of excavation at the Project Site. See Chapter 5 (Alternatives Analysis) for a discussion of these excavation alternatives. Long-Term Use of the Open Space Some stakeholders have raised the issue of allowing increased public access and recreational development on the large amount of open space that would be created by the development of the Project Site. The proposed development would include up to 15 acres for recreational fields and a number of bike paths. Opening up more of the open space to public access raises a number of issues including: The open space areas contain sensitive biological resources including, wetlands and vernal pool fair y shrimp (VPFS), which is a federally listed species. These sensitive biological resources could be impacted if the open space were open to public access. Protecting these sensitive biological areas is a key goal of the resource agencies. The locations of these sensitive biological areas are provided in Section 4.2 (Biological Resources). The open space is within the runway protection zone of the SLOCRA, and areas of the site are used for airport equipment. Public access to these open space areas could conflict with airport operations and represent a hazard to the public and airport operations. All of the open space would be part of the Reserve Space that is required by the Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP) to allow for increased development within the Cluster Development Zone (CDZ) of the City’s Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP). In addition, some of the open space would have to be set aside as Reserve Areas, per the ALUP. The ALUP limits the types of Attachment 1 PH2-43 Executive Summary Chevron Tank Farm ES-22 December 2013 Remediation and Development Project Final EIR development and activities that can occur with Reserve Areas and Reserve Space. Information on the Reserve Areas and Reserve Spaces is provided in Chapter 2 of the EIR. At the time of preparation of the EIR, it was unclear what the Applicant was proposing to do with the portion of the Project Site that would not be developed. The EIR has a mitigation measure that would require the Applicant to place the undeveloped land in a conservation easement that would be managed by a municipality or non-governmental organization. The Relationship of the Proposed Project to the Prado Road Extension The extension of Prado Road is a major transportation goal of the City. Completion of this road is critical to the development of the Margarita Area, and is part of the Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP). Prado Road would provide the primary access to the Margarita Area from other parts of the City and would connect the southeastern and southwestern parts of the City (MASP, 2004). The City Circulation Element designates Prado Road as a “highway/regional route.” The Project is part of the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP) and does not include any parts of the Prado Road extension, which is designed to support the Margarita Area. All road improvements associated with the Project would occur in the vicinity of the Project Site and would serve to improve the Tank Farm Road corridor. The EIR did look at an alternative that would have included completing the Prado Road extension; however this alternative was subsequently removed from further consideration (see Chapter 5 [Alternatives Analysis]).

The plan shall detail the best management practices that will be used on the site to control erosion and sedimentation to be implemented during all development activities. The plan shall include at least the following measures unless other erosion control measures are specified in the agency approved SWPPP: a. Graded areas shall be stabilized with riprap (i.e., crushed stone) or other ground cover as soon as grading is completed. The surface of slopes shall be roughened during the construction period to retain water, increase infiltration, and facilitate establishing vegetation. Tracked machinery shall be operated up and down (parallel with) slopes to leave horizontal (perpendicular) depressions in the soil, which run across the slope, on the contour. b. Slope breaks, such as diversions, benches, or contour furrows shall be constructed to reduce the length of cut- and fill-slopes, thus limiting sheet and rill erosion and preventing gully erosion. c. Sediment barriers shall be used around construction areas to retain soil particles on-site and reduce surface runoff velocities during rainfall events. Sediment barriers could include straw bales, silt fences, and gravel and earth berms. Silt fences shall be installed per specification on slope contours in areas where shallow overland flow is anticipated. d. Temporary and permanent drainages shall be employed, as necessary, to reduce slope erosion and prevent damage to construction areas. Sheet flow across or toward a disturbed area shall be intercepted and conveyed to a low to moderate gradient (1 to 5 percent slope) sediment basin, erosion-resistant drainage channel, or a level, well-vegetated area. Drainages would include Attachment 1 PH2-58 Impact Summary Tables-City Development Plan December 2013 IST-2-13 Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development Project Final EIR CLASS II Impacts – Proposed Project – City Development Plan Impacts That Can Be Mitigated To Less Than Significant Levels (Impacts that must be addressed in Findings that the mitigation measures would reduce the level of impact to insignificant in accordance with Sections 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines) Impact Impact Description Project Phase Mitigation Measures Residual Impact swales, diversion dikes, and slope drains. e. Water bars, rolling dips, and out-sloping roads shall be constructed as part of new road construction to disperse runoff and reduce the erosive forces associated with concentrated flows. GR.5 Moderately expansive soils prone to swelling and shrinking from increased or decreased water content could damage proposed structures and infrastructure, resulting in loss of property and risks to human health and safety. Development GR-5a Expansive soils should be mitigated by the over-excavation and replacement of non- expansive soils for all buildings and structures, as approved by the City of San Luis Obispo. Alternatively, all construction for buildings shall use thickened slabs, extended slab edges, and additional reinforcement to reduce negative impacts from any expansive soil movement. Several equivalent remedial measures may be implemented that are standard construction and mitigation measures. In addition, capillary breaks shall be used under slabs to address the potential for moisture transport and pumping that leads to moisture infiltration as a result of heat and moisture gradients where buildings are sensitive to moisture infiltration. All remedial measures, designs, and calculations shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer, and shall be reviewed and approved by the City prior to issuance of the applicable building permits. GR-5b The Applicant shall use low- to non-expansive soils for slab, trench backfill, and pavement support to eliminate risk, which can be accommodated by importing select materials. Select grading techniques could utilize the granular soils on-site for subsequent use. Alternatively, an equivalent remedial measure to mitigate expansive soils may be implemented where the appropriate design and calculations prepared by a registered civil engineer, demonstrate a suitable design, and have been reviewed and approved by the City prior to issuance of the applicable building permits.

Beneficial Attachment 1 PH2-146 REMEDIATION AND RESTORATION The remediation portion of the Project is based on an extensive collaborative process with resource agencies that have concurred with the applicant’s proposed remediation approach, while taking into consideration the proposed future uses at the Project Site. Remediation will address soil and groundwater contamination that has been identified as a potential human health or ecological risk as agreed upon by the resource agencies participating in the Surface Evaluation, Remediation, and Restoration Team (SERRT) process. The SERRT process was established in 2002 and involves the Regional Water Quality Control Board, County Environmental Health, Fish and Wildlife, Air Pollution Control District, US Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies. The SERRT focused on two areas; Human Health Risk and Ecological Risk. In addition to preparing reports documenting human health risk ecological risk, the SERRT prepared a summary document outlining recommendations for risk management which was finalized on December 12, 2005. The Risk Management summary provided recommendations on treatment and remediation levels at the site. The summary, a feasibility study and environmental background reports were utilized to build the remediation plan while aiding in the formation of the EIR and mitigation measures. Remediation will be followed by restoration of wetland and rare plant habitats that would be altered as part of the grading associated with the remediation project. The petroleum-related material (including hydrocarbon affected soils) on the project site include oil remaining within the vicinity of containment reservoirs at an average depth of 25 to 40 feet below ground level but in some cases as deep as 60 feet. On the surface, oil remnants from the tank farm disaster range from solid asphalt-like coke to low density oil that has the potential to mix with surface waters or contaminate wildlife. The remediation and restoration component includes several activities proposed to occur over a two to three year period: demolition of existing buildings and reservoir remnants, excavation of top soil and sub-surface material, site re-contouring, capping, and finally habitat restoration. Re- contouring would be done mostly using on-site materials. Remediation/Restoration Overview The project description in the Final EIR provides a complete description of the remediation and restoration proposal; however the following discussion highlights the key features. 1. Staging areas Chevron has identified three main staging areas on-site for the remediation project. These staging areas would include temporary stockpiling, parking, and support activities for remediation and restoration. The staging areas are located on both sides of Tank Farm Road and would be accessed with a temporary traffic signal. 2. Excavation Most of the hydrocarbon contamination is found within the first four feet of the surface and is a result of the 1926 disaster. Only the surface contamination, mostly those affected by petroleum Attachment 2 PH2-147 with the risk of wildlife entrapment, are proposed to be excavated. Excavations will range up to five feet in depth. Affected materials would be hauled off-site and disposed of at an appropriate off-site landfill. The landfill identified in the Final EIR to receive the majority of this soil is the City of Santa Maria landfill. Clean fill materials (most of which would be obtained on-site) would be replaced within excavation sites and compacted. It is estimated that between 10,000 to 13,000 truck trips would be necessary to transport contaminated material from the site with approximately 200,000 yards of material. Trucks would be in operation from 6:00 am to 7:00 PM weekdays. 3. Blasting Much of the rock and fill material proposed for cover for the remediation project will be derived from on-site resources. The area known as the “flower mound” north of Tank Farm Road adjacent to the Damon Garcia Sports fields will provide a large portion of the fill and gravel. The portion of the Flower Mound area that is located on the Project Site is approximately 55 acres. The Applicant is proposing to excavate 350,000 cubic yards of material from this location. The flower mound is proposed to be blasted, graded and leveled to provide gravel and fill material for the construction of caps to secure underground hydrocarbon contamination. Due to the composition of the rock, the Applicant is proposing to do so by blasting with directed explosive charges. It is uncertain how much of the Flower Mound excavation will require blasting. Processing the excavated material would include crushing with a rock crushing machine, and may include sorting with loaders, stationary static sorting screens, and possibly washing, depending upon what materials are required by the Project. 4. Grading The remediation project will involve grading on approximately 136 acres of the site with earthmoving estimates that include approximately 160,000 yards of affected soil to be removed with approximately 560,000 yards of fill material including gravel and topsoil for restoration component. Grading includes restoration of the former tank farm site into more of a natural habitat, restoring landforms and drainage patterns and targeting the re-establishment of habitats. 5. Pipeline Decommissioning Historic operations at the site included extensive crude oil pipeline and other pipelines utilized for water supply, natural gas, and sewer lines. These lines will be removed or decommissioned in place as part of the remediation. If lines are left in place, this would be done to avoid habitat disruption and the lines would be drained and backfilled with material such as sand slurry or concrete. 6. Caps Caps are remediation design features that are proposed to serve as covers over affected materials and barriers to separate them from potential human and ecological receptors. Based on the type of contamination and proposed future use, alternative cap designs and depths are proposed. Two types of caps are proposed, one to cover subterranean hydrocarbons below open space and another type of cap below areas proposed for development. In open space areas, the caps are designed to support re-vegetation and would be between 4 and 11 feet thick with layers of geotextile fabric, gravel and topsoil. In areas proposed for development layers of gravel, geotextile fabric and a structural backfill with minimum depths of 4 feet are proposed. Attachment 2 PH2-148 Figure 1: Example of Proposed “Cap” to cover subterranean hydrocarbon contamination 7. Restoration The restoration plan is designed to restore areas affected by the proposed remediation activities. The restoration project focuses on wetland and grassland habitat restoration with a goal of improving habitat function and value while improving hydrologic function. The Applicant has prepared a conceptual landscape restoration plan. The proposed restoration design is centered on the following major activities: fine grading, planting and seeding, irrigation, weed control, maintenance, monitoring, and adaptive management. 8. Monitoring and Institutional Controls Following remediation and restoration, the long-term monitoring and maintenance phase would begin. Long-term monitoring is intended to ensure that remediation (e.g., excavations, cap construction) continue to meet their remedial objectives. This is important, in that most of the affected materials on site would remain after remediation is complete, especially in the former reservoirs. Therefore, periodic inspection and maintenance are necessary components of remediation. During the SERRT process it was found that the petroleum in subsurface is immobile and natural biodegradation prevents migration of constituents. Groundwater and soil sampling has already been occurring on this site for over 20 years. This monitoring will continue post remediation to ensure that the remediation continues to function properly. Monitoring activities are proposed to occur twice annually and will evaluate the caps, excavation areas and groundwater. Institutional controls include deed restrictions, a soil management plan and prohibition on the use of water wells for potable water. Specific institutional controls will depend upon the degree of public access to formerly contaminated areas but may include fencing, signs, and management activities on-site. As required by the EIR, the property that is not subject to development will be placed within a conservation easement and monitored by a biological monitor.

The updated PFFP describes the public facilities required to serve future development in the AASP area and identifies the total one-time burdens (impact fees) to be collected from each land use to fund these facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis. In addition, alternative financing mechanisms that may be used to fill potential funding gaps, as well as implementation procedures that must be enacted by the City of San Luis Obispo (City), are described in this PFFP. The AASP is a blueprint for future non-residential development proposed to occur approximately 2.5 miles south of downtown San Luis Obispo, in the City’s designated Urban Reserve. Approximately 5.2 million square feet of business park, service commercial, and manufacturing land uses are anticipated to be developed on approximately 440 acres within the AASP by buildout of the Project. The Project also contains some land uses that are not analyzed in this study, including approximately 145 acres of existing development, 300 acres of agriculture and open space, 292 acres designated for City- or County-owned property associated with the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport – McChesney Field, and approximately 300 acres planned for roads, setbacks, creeks, and other features within the Project. INFRASTRUCTURE COST ESTIMATES Development of the AASP area will require various transportation and storm drainage improvements. The total cost for these improvements is estimated to be approximately $36.5 million; however, the Project’s share of the total facilities cost amounts to approximately $19.4 million. The remaining $17.1 million is anticipated to be funded by nearby development projects as well as state and federal grants, based on input from the City. The table below summarizes the total cost as well as the net AASP cost by infrastructure category, as provided by the City. TABLE ES-1 INFRASTRUCTURE COST ESTIMATES Improvement Total Cost Net AASP Cost Transportation * $34,530,000 $18,080,000 Storm Drainage $1,960,000 $1,310,000 Total $36,490,000 $19,390,000 * Includes bikeways. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-264 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan ii July 23, 2014 It is important to note that these infrastructure costs for the AASP are in addition to utility and in-tract improvements; utility and in-tract improvements are not addressed in this report. In-tract improvements are expected to be privately funded by AASP developers, while utility improvements are anticipated to be funded by other financing sources. GROSS INFRASTRUCTURE BURDENS AND PHASED CASH FLOW Gross Infrastructure Burdens Tables ES-2 and ES-3 below present the gross one-time burdens (impact fees) that result after the costs of Project-specific facilities (i.e., net AASP costs) are allocated to the proposed land uses. Based on selected benefit criteria, a fair share cost is identified for each type of land use. In addition to Project-specific burdens, the Project will participate in existing City-wide development impact fee programs for transportation, water, and wastewater facilities. Lastly, the AASP will be subject to other impact fees for inclusionary housing, public art, schools, open space, and entitlement process costs, as calculated in this analysis. These amounts are added to the Project-specific one-time burdens to determine the total gross one-time burdens on each land use. TABLE ES-2 GROSS BURDENS PER ACRE Land Use Project- Specific Burden City-Wide Infrastructure Other Fees Total Gross Burden Business Park $67,600 $171,800 $95,800 $335,200 Service Commercial $38,000 $104,700 $65,900 $208,600 Manufacturing $8,000 $77,500 $33,400 $118,900 TABLE ES-3 GROSS BURDENS PER KSF Land Use Project- Specific Burden City-Wide Infrastructure Other Fees Total Gross Burden Business Park $4,600 $11,600 $6,500 $22,700 Service Commercial $3,600 $9,800 $6,200 $19,600 Manufacturing $1,100 $10,500 $4,500 $16,100 ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-265 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan iii July 23, 2014 The Project spans two zones in the City’s transportation impact fee program. A small area encompassing the south-western corner of the Project is within the Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR) fee area and is subject to LOVR transportation fees. The remainder, which comprises a significant majority of the Project, is subject to the City-wide transportation fee. For purposes of this analysis, the City-wide transportation fees are presented throughout this report unless otherwise indicated. Development impact fees that are specific to backbone infrastructure within the AASP (i.e., Project-specific burdens) are assumed to be the primary source of funding for the Project- specific infrastructure. The gross impact fees calculated in this report reflect the amount required per land use to fund the facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis. Because some facilities will be required before impact fee revenues become available, developer equity or an alternate financing mechanism will likely be required. Fees levied in future years may be used to reimburse developers or other financing sources that have paid to cover more than their fair share of Project costs. Phased Cash Flow With the Project expected to develop in five major phases, the relationship between the timing of infrastructure improvements and absorption of land uses becomes a critical cash flow issue. Often, initial phases need to support a disproportionate amount of the overall infrastructure requirements as certain large scale, and expensive, capital facility items must be built before development can proceed. Table ES-4 presents the total Project-specific costs for each phase of development and compares those costs against anticipated fee revenue assuming only a pay-as- you-go financing strategy. In addition, Table ES-4 summarizes the funding shortfalls and surpluses that result on a phase-by-phase basis. TABLE ES-4 PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE COST AND CASH FLOW BY PHASE PAY-AS-YOU-GO FUNDING STRATEGY (IN MILLIONS)* Land Use Phase 1 Years 1-5 Phase 2 Years 6-10 Phase 3 Years 11-15 Phase 4 Years 16-20 Phase 5 Years 21-25 Total Total Phased Costs $6.2 $7.8 $2.6 $1.5 $1.3 $19.4 Gross Project-Specific Fees $3.9 $3.9 $3.9 $3.9 $3.8 $19.4 Fees Less Costs ($2.3) ($3.9) $1.3 $2.4 $2.5 $0.0 Developer Equity/Other Fin. Sources $2.3 $3.9 $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 $6.2 Reimb. for Dev. Equity/Other Fin. Sources $0.0 $0.0 ($1.3) ($2.4) ($2.5) ($6.2) Cumulative Fees Less Costs $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 * Totals may not sum due to rounding. Approximately 72% of all Project-specific costs are required during Phase 1 and Phase 2, yet only approximately 40% of the total building square footage and corresponding fee revenue will have been constructed by that point in time. Consequently, even though proposed gross Project- ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-266 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan iv July 23, 2014 specific fees are expected to fully fund all required Project-specific infrastructure costs, the front loaded nature of the Project-specific infrastructure results in significant cash flow requirements in the first two phases of Project development. As shown in Table ES-4, development of Phase 1 will require approximately $6.2 million in Project-specific infrastructure costs; however, gross Project-specific fee revenue totals approximately $3.9 million. Comparing costs against available revenue results in a deficit of approximately $2.3 million that will need to be advance funded by private developers or an alternate financing mechanism. During Phase 2, $7.8 million in Project-specific infrastructure costs is incurred, but the estimated gross Project-specific fee revenue of $3.9 million cannot fund all of the Phase 2 costs. The additional shortfall of $3.9 million during Phase 2 pushes the overall shortfall to $6.2 million. Total gross revenues during Phases 3, 4, and 5 available for reimbursement of oversized facilities costs from Phases 1 and 2 bring the oversizing down to zero at buildout of the Project. LAND SECURED DEBT FINANCING ANALYSIS & NET INFRASTRUCTURE BURDENS An alternate funding mechanism that can be used to close funding gaps in a pay-as-you-go financing strategy is a Community Facilities District (CFD). The use of a CFD will limit the initial, one-time burden incurred by the various land uses and will reduce the amount of upfront developer equity required. CFD financing for the Project is evaluated in Chapter 4 of this report. In addition, a description of CFDs and of other financing mechanisms is presented in Chapter 5. A planning level debt financing analysis was conducted to estimate the CFD bonding capacity of the proposed Project. It is estimated that the AASP could support $27.3 million in bonds to fund all required Project-specific infrastructure. After accounting for a reserve fund, two years of funded interest, and various financing costs associated with issuing bonds, $19.4 million of facility costs, or 100% of the total Project-specific infrastructure costs, could be funded through the land-secured financing of a CFD. Table ES-5 below summarizes the total net burdens per acre and per thousand square feet after accounting for debt financing through a CFD. CFD financing is the only difference between the gross burdens shown in Tables ES-2 and ES-3 and the net burdens shown in Tables ES-5 below. TABLE ES-5 NET BURDENS * Land Use Total Net Burden per Acre Total Net Burden per KSF Business Park $267,600 $18,100 Service Commercial $170,600 $16,000 Manufacturing $110,900 $15,000 * Includes existing City-wide and other fees; all Project-specific costs are CFD-funded. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-267 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan v July 23, 2014 Table ES-6 compares phased costs against projected revenues for each phase assuming a financing strategy that utilizes CFD financing only. CFD bonds are anticipated to fund all $19.4 million in Project-specific costs and, therefore, reduce the amount to be funded through the proposed AASP fee program from $19.4 million to zero. In addition, the total amount of gap funding required throughout development of the Project decreases from $6.2 million, as shown in Table ES-4, to $4.9 million in Table ES-6. Furthermore, the cumulative deficit through the early two phases of development under the CFD financing strategy is approximately $2.3 million, which is more than 60% lower than the anticipated deficit of $6.2 million under an exclusively pay-as-you-go funding strategy.

ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-268 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 1 July 23, 2014 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVE Goodwin Consulting Group prepared a Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) for the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP or Project) and the Margarita Area Specific Plan (MASP) in August 2005. Since then, land use assumptions have been revised due to development that has occurred in the AASP area and zoning changes in the AASP that have recently been proposed. In addition, a new set of infrastructure requirements and cost estimates has been prepared for the AASP. The 2005 PFFP incorporated both the AASP and the MASP because development in these areas was expected to occur somewhat concurrently. Since the AASP and MASP areas are now at different stages in the entitlement process, it was deemed appropriate to prepare an updated financing plan for the AASP only. This comprehensive update to the 2005 PFFP analyzes the public facilities burden that must be carried by the land uses proposed in the AASP and presents a base and an alternate financing strategy to fund that burden. The base case financing strategy presumes only pay-as-you-go funding will be used to finance Project-specific infrastructure needs, while the alternate financing strategy assumes only CFD funding will be used to finance Project-specific infrastructure costs. The overall public facilities burden for the Project consists of infrastructure and related costs necessary to serve the Project plus development impact fees that would be imposed on the Project for other City-wide capital improvements. The burden does not include utility and in- tract improvements for the AASP; it is expected that these costs will be funded by other financing sources or privately by AASP developers. In summary, this PFFP does the following:  Summarizes the proposed land uses in the AASP  Describes transportation and storm drainage improvements required to serve future development in the AASP area  Presents the costs of required transportation and storm drainage improvements and allocates the costs to the proposed land uses based on benefit  Identifies total gross one-time burdens (impact fees) assuming only a pay-as-you-go funding strategy  Presents an alternate financing strategy that relies on CFD funding for all Project-specific infrastructure costs  Determines tax-exempt bonding capacity of the Project based on marketable tax rates for land-secured financing ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-269 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 2 July 23, 2014  Identifies total net one-time burdens (impact fees) and land-secured financing annual special tax rates  Summarizes long-term financing mechanisms most viable for this Project  Summarizes the implementation measures that must be enacted by the City PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of San Luis Obispo, California, is located approximately eight miles from the Pacific Ocean and is midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles at the junction of Highway 101 and scenic Highway 1. The Airport Area Specific Plan lies approximately 2.5 miles south of downtown San Luis Obispo, in the City’s designated Urban Reserve. The Margarita Area Specific Plan and the South Street Hills open space areas bound the AASP to the north, while urban development in the incorporated areas along South Higuera Street and Broad Street borders the areas to the west and east, respectively. The agricultural lands of the Edna Valley are located to the south and southeast of the AASP. A location map is shown below. FIGURE A MAP OF AASP ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-270 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 3 July 23, 2014 The Airport Area Specific Plan encompasses approximately 1,500 acres of land. At buildout, approximately 5.2 million square feet of non-residential land uses are expected to develop on a total of 440 acres. Of these 440 acres, approximately 194 acres are designated for business park development, 145 acres are designated for service commercial development, and the remaining 101 acres are anticipated to be developed as manufacturing land uses. The Project also contains some land uses that are not analyzed in this study, including 145 acres of existing development, 300 acres of agriculture and open space, 292 acres designated for City- or County-owned property associated with the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport – McChesney Field, and approximately 300 acres planned for roads, setbacks, creeks, and other features; these acres are not evaluated in the analysis because they are not subject to AASP development impact fees. Land use assumptions for the Project are provided in Table A-1 of Appendix A. PROJECT ABSORPTION AND PHASING Development of the Project area is anticipated to span a 25-year period. During this timeframe, it is expected that development will occur in five major phases. Each phase is anticipated to develop over a 5-year period. A summary of the amount of development anticipated in each phase is shown in Table A-2 of Appendix A. With the Project expected to develop in five major phases, the relationship between the timing of infrastructure improvements and absorption of land uses becomes a critical issue. Often, initial phases of development must support a disproportionate amount of the overall infrastructure requirements as certain large scale, and expensive, capital facility items are needed upfront. The infrastructure cash flows presented in Chapters 3 and 4 address the relationship between absorption and facility needs. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-271 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 4 July 23, 2014 Chapter 2 PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE AND COST ESTIMATES There are numerous types of costs incurred during the construction of any development project. This PFFP focuses on the costs of Project-specific transportation and storm drainage improvements, which are described below. While other improvements will be required for the Project area, such as utilities and in-tract infrastructure that benefit just a particular area or parcel, only Project-specific transportation and storm drainage improvements are analyzed in this PFFP. Language from the Airport Area Specific Plan, which describes in detail the various improvements proposed to meet the needs of the community, is provided below to describe the transportation and storm drainage infrastructure needs. The City provided preliminary cost estimates for the infrastructure, which are summarized below. The total cost of transportation and storm drainage improvements required for the Project is estimated to be $36.5 million, with the Project’s share totaling $19.4 million. According to the City, the remaining $17.1 million is anticipated to be funded by nearby development projects as well as state and federal grants. The costs for infrastructure components within the AASP are presented in Table A-3 of Appendix A. A summary of the total and net infrastructure costs to serve AASP development is presented in Table 2-1 below. TABLE 2-1 INFRASTRUCTURE COST ESTIMATES Improvement Total Cost Net AASP Cost Transportation * $34,530,000 $18,080,000 Storm Drainage $1,960,000 $1,310,000 Total $36,490,000 $19,390,000 * Includes bikeways. The following is a list of transportation and storm drainage improvements included in the AASP development cost estimates:  Tank Farm Road  Santa Fe Road  Unocal/Chevron Collector Road  Broad Street  Prado Road  Buckley Road  Various Bikeways ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-272 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 5 July 23, 2014 Project-specific improvements, cost estimates, and infrastructure phasing have been provided by the City and are summarized in the remainder of this chapter. PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE Transportation and Bicycle Trail Improvements The circulation plan for the Project is designed to utilize the existing roadway system as much as possible, with the addition of arterials, collectors, and local streets as needed to serve individual development areas. The system also includes bicycle trails for non-vehicular circulation to connect various planning sub-areas to each other and to the rest of San Luis Obispo. The total cost for transportation and bicycle trail improvements is estimated to be approximately $34.5 million, with approximately $18.1 million attributable to the Project. Costs include street improvements (curbs and gutters, sidewalks, asphalt paving, slurry seal, striping, street lights, signal lights, and street signs), bikeways, demolition and grading, landscaping, erosion controls, design and engineering, and construction management. Storm Drainage Improvements The following proposed improvements and development requirements comprise the Storm Drain Master Plan for the AASP:  Acacia Creek Bridge at Tank Farm Road: Use a precast arch culvert with a simple widening of the culverts  East Branch San Luis Obispo Creek Bridge at Santa Fe Road: Use a precast arch culvert with a simple widening of the culverts  Tank Farm Creek culvert facilities at Tank Farm Road: Use a precast arch culvert with a simple widening of the culverts  Require projects to conform to the City’s Flood Damage Prevention Guidelines for proposed development within the AASP  Require projects to conform to the City’s Waterways Management Plan, Drainage Design Manual, for proposed development within the AASP These proposed improvements, along with implementation of existing City-wide ordinances and requirements, are expected to provide 100-year flood protection and provide for environmental enhancement of stream corridors. The proposed storm water drainage system for the Project includes a series of storm drainage pipelines, curb inlets, filtration units, headwalls, erosion controls, design and engineering, and construction management. The total cost for storm drainage improvements is estimated to be approximately $2.0 million, with approximately $1.3 million attributable to the Project. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-273 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 6 July 23, 2014 PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE PHASING The phasing of Project-specific infrastructure required to support development in the Project is a crucial element of the PFFP. In general, a majority of the infrastructure costs are anticipated to be needed to serve development within Phases 1 and 2, with the highest cost occurring in Phase 2. The phasing table below summarizes the net cost for each Project-specific infrastructure category by phase, as shown in Table A-4 of Appendix A. TABLE 2-2 PROJECT-SPECIFIC COSTS BY PHASE (IN MILLIONS) Improvement Phase 1 Years 1-5 Phase 2 Years 6-10 Phase 3 Years 11-15 Phase 4 Years 16-20 Phase 5 Years 21-25 Total Transportation * $5.7 $7.5 $2.3 $1.3 $1.2 $18.1 Storm Drainage $0.5 $0.3 $0.3 $0.3 $0.0 $1.3 Total $6.2 $7.8 $2.6 $1.5 $1.2 $19.4 * Includes bikeways. Initial funding for Project-specific infrastructure is limited because a significant portion of the contributing development is expected to develop in later phases; therefore, initial developers or an alternative funding source may be required to advance fund Project-specific facilities in order to allow development to proceed. In such cases, it may be necessary for this oversizing to be reimbursed from development occurring in later phases. The infrastructure cash flows presented in Chapters 3 and 4 address the relationship between absorption and phased facility needs. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-274 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 7 July 23, 2014 Chapter 3 FINANCING STRATEGY: ALL PAY-AS-YOU-GO FUNDING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES Assembly Bill 1600 (herein “AB 1600”), which was enacted by the State of California in 1987, created Section 66000 et seq. of the Government Code. In order to establish, increase, or impose a fee as a condition of approval of a development project, AB 1600 (also known as the Mitigation Fee Act) requires a public agency to specifically identify the public facilities funded by the impact fees, and determine how there is a reasonable relationship, or “nexus,” between the type of development project and the need for the facilities, the cost of the facilities, and the need to impose a fee. Development impact fees are monetary exactions (as opposed to taxes or special assessments) that are charged by local agencies in conjunction with approval of a development project. The fees are paid by builders or developers, typically at the time a building permit is issued. Impact fees are levied for the purpose of defraying all or a portion of the costs of a public facility, improvement, or amenity that benefits the project. The collection of impact fees does not require formation of a special district; an impact fee program is implemented by a public agency’s adoption of a resolution or ordinance. Impact fees will be an important component of this PFFP. A fee ordinance must be adopted by the City and the City’s existing public facilities fee program must be updated prior to development of the Airport Area Specific Plan; the fee program may also be updated and revised as part of future development phases. Because fees are collected as development occurs and some of the facilities identified in this report are expected to be in place prior to development or early in the buildout of the AASP, fees will likely be levied in future years to reimburse developers that have paid to cover more than their fair share of project costs prior to the availability of fee revenues. Proposed Airport Area Specific Plan Fee Program The Project’s infrastructure costs of $19.4 million are allocated among land uses within the Project using factors (benefit units) that relate the amount of benefit a land use will derive from a given capital facility to that of other land uses, such as daily trips and storm water runoff. Dividing these total burdens by the quantity of land use produces a cost per acre for non- residential development. For both transportation and storm drainage facilities, a cost per square foot is calculated first and then is translated to a cost per acre using the appropriate floor-to-area ratio (FAR). Table A-5 in Appendix A summarizes the benefit unit assumptions for each capital facility category. The detailed cost allocation calculations for transportation and storm drainage improvements are presented in Table A-6 and Table A-7 of Appendix A, respectively. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-275 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 8 July 23, 2014 The total Project-specific infrastructure burdens are summarized in Table A-8 of Appendix A and in Table 3-1 below. These gross Project-specific infrastructure burdens assume that all Project-specific costs are funded through impact fees in a pay-as-you-go system. No additional financing sources are assumed under the entirely pay-as-you-go financing strategy. TABLE 3-1 GROSS PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE BURDENS Land Use Gross Project-Specific Burden per Acre Gross Project-Specific Burden per KSF Business Park $67,600 $4,600 Service Commercial $38,000 $3,600 Manufacturing $8,000 $1,100 Existing Fee Programs In addition to the Project-specific infrastructure burdens, development in the Project area will also participate in other fee programs that fund additional facilities impacted by new development. The major additional fee categories applicable to the Project are the City-wide development impact fees (transportation, water, and wastewater), other fees (inclusionary housing fee, public art in-lieu fee, and school mitigation fee), and other AASP fees (open space fee and entitlement process reimbursement fee). The total existing development impact fees per land use category are shown in Table A-9 of Appendix A. The City transportation impact fee pays for City-wide transportation facility costs, and is charged to new development on a per-square foot basis. The current fee applicable to a majority of the Project area, which is not within the Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR) fee area, is $7.05, $3.82, and $2.04 per business park, service commercial, and manufacturing square foot, respectively. However, the city-wide transportation impact fees included in this analysis reflect a 5.5% increase to the current rates to account for additional costs anticipated to be included in the City- wide transportation impact fee program. An estimated fee per acre is calculated using the appropriate FAR from Table A-1 of Appendix A. The City water and wastewater impact fees also pay for public facility costs throughout the City, and are charged to new development based on meter size. For both water and wastewater, this PFFP assumes an average of 2 connections per acre and a 1" meter size. The current City-wide water fee and Tank Farm area wastewater fee for a 1" meter are $18,317 and $12,510, respectively. It is important to note that these fees are estimates; the service sizes and related fees could vary based on the needs and sizes of specific developments within the Project. Non-residential developments greater than 2,500 square feet are required to build two affordable dwelling units per acre, or pay an in-lieu inclusionary housing fee equal to 5% of total construction costs. For purposes of this PFFP, construction costs are assumed to be $100, $90, and $60 per business park, service commercial, and manufacturing square foot, respectively. In ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-276 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 9 July 23, 2014 addition, all non-residential developments are required to propose public art to be placed in a public place on, or in the vicinity of, the development project site, or pay an in-lieu fee equal to 0.5% of that portion of the total construction costs in excess of $100,000 for each building permit. The Project will also be subject to a school mitigation fee to fund school impacts related to future development in the AASP. The current non-residential fee is $0.42 per building square foot. Lastly, the City will collect fees for open space and reimbursement of costs related to the Project’s entitlement process. These two fees combined range from approximately $5,900 per acre for manufacturing uses to $8,700 per acre for service commercial uses. A breakdown of the existing City-wide and other fees are presented in Table A-9 of Appendix A, which are added together to show the total existing burden by land use on a per-acre and per- square foot basis. Tables 3-2 and 3-3 below summarize the existing burdens for each land use category on a per-acre and per 1,000 square feet basis. TABLE 3-2 CITY-WIDE AND OTHER FEE BURDENS PER ACRE Land Use City-Wide Infrastructure Other Fees Other AASP Fees Total Gross Burden Business Park $171,800 $87,700 $8,200 $267,700 Service Commercial $104,700 $57,300 $8,700 $170,700 Manufacturing $77,500 $27,500 $5,900 $110,900 TABLE 3-3 CITY-WIDE AND OTHER FEE BURDENS PER KSF Land Use City-Wide Infrastructure Other Fees Other AASP Fees Total Gross Burden Business Park $11,600 $5,900 $600 $18,100 Service Commercial $9,800 $5,400 $800 $16,000 Manufacturing $10,500 $3,700 $800 $15,000 Total Gross Burdens (Excludes Potential CFD Financing) Development impact fees that are specific to the AASP (i.e., Project-specific burdens) are assumed to be the primary source of funding for the Project-specific infrastructure. The gross impact fees calculated in this report, as presented in Table A-10 of Appendix A and summarized in Table 3-4 below, reflect the amount required per land use to fund the facilities on an entirely pay-as-you-go basis. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-277 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 10 July 23, 2014 TABLE 3-4 TOTAL GROSS BURDENS (PROPOSED PROJECT-SPECIFIC FEES AND EXISTING FEES) Land Use Gross Burden per Acre Gross Burden per KSF Business Park $335,200 $22,700 Service Commercial $208,600 $19,600 Manufacturing $118,900 $16,100 Because some facilities will be required before impact fee revenues become available, developer equity or an alternative financing mechanism will likely be required. Fees levied in future years may be used to reimburse developers or other financing sources that have paid to cover more than their fair share of project costs, as described in the following section. GROSS PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE CASH FLOW With the Project expected to develop in five major phases, the relationship between the timing of infrastructure improvements and absorption of land uses becomes a critical cash flow issue. Often, initial phases need to support a disproportionate amount of the overall infrastructure requirements as certain large scale, and expensive, capital facility items must be built before development can proceed. Table 3-5 presents the total Project-specific costs for each phase of development and summarizes the funding shortfalls and surpluses that result on a phase-by-phase basis assuming only a pay-as-you-go funding strategy. TABLE 3-5 GROSS PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE COST AND CASH FLOW BY PHASE (IN MILLIONS)* Land Use Phase 1 Years 1-5 Phase 2 Years 6-10 Phase 3 Years 11-15 Phase 4 Years 16-20 Phase 5 Years 21-25 Total Total Phased Costs $6.2 $7.8 $2.6 $1.5 $1.3 $19.4 Gross Project-Specific Fees $3.9 $3.9 $3.9 $3.9 $3.8 $19.4 Fees Less Costs ($2.3) ($3.9) $1.3 $2.4 $2.5 $0.0 Developer Equity/Other Fin.

Sources $0.0 $0.0 ($1.3) ($2.4) ($2.5) ($6.2) Cumulative Fees Less Costs $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 $0.0 * Totals may not sum due to rounding. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-278 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 11 July 23, 2014 Approximately 72% of all Project-specific costs are required during Phase 1 and Phase 2, yet only approximately 40% of the total building square footage and corresponding Project-specific fees will have been constructed and collected by that point in time. Consequently, even though proposed gross Project-specific fees are expected to fully fund all required infrastructure costs, the front loaded nature of the Project-specific infrastructure results in significant cash flow requirements in the first two phases of Project development. As shown in Table A-11 of Appendix A and Table 3-5 above, development of Phase 1 will require approximately $6.2 million in Project-specific infrastructure costs; however, gross Project-specific fee revenues total approximately $3.9 million. Comparing costs against available revenue results in a deficit of over $2.3 million that will need to be advance funded by private developers or an alternative financing mechanism. During Phase 2, $7.8 million in Project-specific infrastructure costs is incurred, but the estimated gross Project-specific fee revenue of $3.9 million cannot fund all of the Phase 2 costs. The additional shortfall of $3.9 million during Phase 2 pushes the overall shortfall to $6.2 million. Total gross revenues during Phases 3, 4, and 5 available for reimbursement of oversized facilities costs from Phases 1 and 2 bring the net oversizing down to zero at buildout of the Project. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-279 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 12 July 23, 2014 Chapter 4 ALTERNATE FINANCING STRATEGY: CFD FUNDING & NET FEES COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT Other types of financing mechanisms besides impact fees may be needed to close funding gaps that occur because fee revenues may not accrue quickly enough to pay for large pieces of infrastructure. To ensure that funding keeps pace with infrastructure requirements, the formation of a Community Facilities District (CFD) is recommended. The use of a CFD will limit the initial, one-time burden incurred by the various land uses and will reduce the amount of upfront developer equity required. CFDs are specific areas with defined geographic boundaries, and an annual special tax is collected from property within those boundaries to pay debt service on bonds issued through the CFD to fund infrastructure. CFDs are described in more detail with other financing mechanisms in Chapter 5. There are two limitations on the amount of financing available from a CFD, the first being the value-to-lien-ratio. “Value” is considered to be the appraised value of the property, including entitlements and improvements in place on the date the CFD bonds are to be sold. The value of improvements to be constructed with bond proceeds is included in the value calculation. “Lien” refers to the proposed bond issue, as well as any other public financing debt secured by the property. Senate Bill 1464, which became effective January 1993, requires a minimum value-to- lien ratio of 3-to-1. The second restriction on the amount of financing available from a CFD is the total effective tax rate (ETR) paid by a homeowner or property owner in the CFD. The ETR consists of the basic one percent ad valorem property tax levy mandated by Proposition 13, plus overrides from voter-approved bonded indebtedness and non-ad valorem taxes, assessments, and parcel charges (expressed as a percentage of market value). Market value can be determined based on input from local developers, a market consultant, local realtors, or an appraiser. There is no legal limit, but a maximum ETR of 2.00% of market value has developed as a standard in many areas throughout the State, although it tends to be closer to 1.80% on average for residential development and even lower for non-residential land uses. It is thought that ETRs higher than these amounts may lead to market resistance by prospective homebuyers or commercial and industrial tenants, or potential “taxpayer revolts” by overburdened homeowners. The maximum supportable ETR for a given project should also consider the maximum tax rates in competing projects in the area and, based on the strength of the real estate market, the demand for new development in general. A planning-level estimate of land-secured financing capacity was conducted for each land use in the AASP to determine the percentage of infrastructure costs that can be funded by bonds issued through a CFD, with the debt service on those bonds supported by annual CFD special taxes. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-280 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 13 July 23, 2014 Special Tax Rates for Infrastructure To begin the debt financing analysis, an estimated infrastructure CFD special tax per non- residential square foot was derived to fund all $19.4 million in Project-specific infrastructure costs. The resulting annual burden, or total ETR, equals 1.22% of value. Table B-1 in Appendix B shows the assumptions used for this calculation. First, developed value assumptions for each land use were determined based on various research performed regarding new non-residential development in the San Luis Obispo area. Second, with the assistance of the San Luis Obispo County Tax Collector’s Office, the existing ad valorem taxes were determined for properties in the AASP. The total ad valorem taxes levied as a percentage of value, including the one percent ad valorem property tax levy mandated by Proposition 13 plus overrides from voter-approved bonded indebtedness, is 1.0022%. Next, annual special taxes and assessments were determined for the land uses in the Project. Currently, there are no special taxes or assessments levied on properties in the Project area, and this PFFP does not assume any other special taxes or assessments for the AASP except for an infrastructure special tax. Based on an annual burden of 1.22% of value, which is the amount required to fund all Project-specific costs, the additional amount that can be levied for infrastructure is $0.48, $0.38, and $0.21 per business park, service commercial, and manufacturing square foot, respectively. Note that if the City does decide to form a special district for the AASP to fund the Project’s annual maintenance expenses, such as an LLD or services CFD, the amount of the special tax available for infrastructure could be lower or the resulting total annual burden may increase. Bonding Capacity The infrastructure special tax rates discussed above are used to determine the potential bonding capacity of the Project. The debt financing analysis is also based on the following factors:  special taxes escalate 2% a year  debt service coverage ratio of 110%, interest rate of 7.0%, and a bond term of 30 years  issuance costs of 5%, reserve funds of 10%, and capitalized interest of 14% (two years) of gross bond proceeds Based on all of the assumptions mentioned above, a total bonding capacity of approximately $27.3 million is achieved. Of that capacity, $19.4 million can be used to fund construction costs within the Project area after accounting for issuance costs, a reserve fund, and capitalized interest. The bonding capacity is a preliminary estimate; any initial bond issue will be constrained by the appraised value of the land in the CFD and market interest rates at the time bonds are sold. The bonding capacity, construction proceeds, and assumptions are presented in Table B-2 of Appendix B. In addition, a summary of the bonding capacity analysis by phase is presented in Table B-3 of Appendix B. As shown in Table B-4 of Appendix B, the CFD construction proceeds of $19.4 million are sufficient to fund all Project-specific infrastructure costs. If the actual amount funded through the CFD is less than anticipated, additional financing mechanisms may be needed. A discussion of financing mechanisms available to fund public facilities is provided in Chapter 5. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-281 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 14 July 23, 2014 NET INFRASTRUCTURE BURDEN (INCLUDES POTENTIAL CFD FINANCING) CFD debt financing is assumed to fund all of the required infrastructure for the Project and, therefore, would reduce the amount of the one-time burden, which is generally incurred when a building permit is issued. As shown on the right side of Table B-4 of Appendix B, the burdens would be reduced by the amount of infrastructure supported by the CFD. The table below summarizes the total net costs after accounting for tax-exempt debt financing. TABLE 4-1 TOTAL NET BURDENS* Land Use Total Net Burden per Acre Total Net Burden per KSF Business Park $267,600 $18,100 Service Commercial $170,600 $16,000 Manufacturing $110,900 $15,000 * Includes existing City-wide and other fees; all Project-specific costs are CFD-funded. CFD AND PROJECT-SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE CASH FLOW As discussed in Chapter 3, the relationship between the timing of infrastructure improvements and absorption of land uses becomes a critical cash flow issue. One way to lessen the extent of this cash flow issue is through CFD financing. Table B-5 in Appendix B and Table 4-2 below compare phased costs against projected revenues for each phase assuming a CFD financing strategy. Allowing facilities to be funded by CFD bonds reduces the amount of gap funding required throughout the Project to $4.9 million, compared to a $6.2 million shortfall assuming an exclusively pay-as-you-go financing strategy. Furthermore, the cumulative deficit through Phase 2 under the CFD financing strategy is approximately $2.3 million, which is more than 60% lower than the anticipated deficit of $6.2 million under an entirely pay-as-you-go funding strategy.

ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-283 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 16 July 23, 2014 Chapter 5 DESCRIPTION OF FINANCING ALTERNATIVES The development impact fees calculated in this report reflect the amount required per land use to fund facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis. However, it is anticipated that some facilities will be required before fee revenues are available, causing funding gaps. Viable financing mechanisms that are available to fund these gaps, including a Community Facilities District as was mentioned in Chapter 4, are discussed in this section. DEVELOPER EQUITY When other funding mechanisms are deemed infeasible, inapplicable, or are otherwise undesired, the solution is often developer equity. As shown in Table A-11 of Appendix A, an exclusively pay-as-you-go financing strategy results in approximately a $6.2 million shortfall by the end of Phase 2. Although total gross revenues during Phases 3, 4, and 5 available for reimbursement of oversized facilities costs from Phases 1 and 2 bring the net oversizing down to zero at buildout of the Project as illustrated in Chapter 3, the timing of infrastructure needs relative to the availability of fee revenues will likely require developer equity or other sources of private financing to fund the $6.2 million shortfall. Although a financing strategy that includes CFD financing reduces the amount of the funding gap, it does not completely eliminate it. As shown in Table B-5 of Appendix B, all $19.4 million of the Project’s total infrastructure cost can be funded by a CFD. Due to the timing of infrastructure needs relative to the availability of CFD funding, developer equity or other sources of private financing may be required to fund approximately $4.9 million in interim shortfalls through Phase 3. COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT The Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act (the “Act”) [Section 53311 et seq. of the Government Code] was enacted by the California State Legislature in 1982 to provide an alternate means of financing public infrastructure and services subsequent to the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978. The Act complies with Proposition 13, as well as the more-recently passed Proposition 218, and permits cities, counties, and special districts to create defined areas within their jurisdiction and, by a two-thirds vote within the defined area, impose special taxes to pay for the public improvements and services needed to serve that area. The Act defines the area subject to a special tax as a Community Facilities District. A CFD may provide for the purchase, construction, expansion, or rehabilitation of any real o r other tangible property with an estimated useful life of at least five years. A CFD may also finance the costs of planning, design, engineering, and consultants involved in the construction of improvements or formation of the CFD. The facilities financed by the CFD do not have to be physically located within the CFD. The facilities that can be financed by a CFD include, but are not limited to, the following: ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-284 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 17 July 23, 2014  Roads, water and sewer lines, flood control channels  Parks, parkways, and open-space facilities  School sites, structures, furnishings, and equipment  Libraries  Child care facilities  Utility improvements (limited to five percent of bond proceeds if improvements are to be taken over by a non-publicly owned utility agency)  Any other governmental facilities which the legislative body creating the CFD is authorized by law to contribute revenue to, construct, own, or operate A CFD may also pay for public services, including the following:  Street maintenance  Police protection  Fire protection  Recreation program services  Library services  Park and open space maintenance  Flood and storm protection services  Removal or cleanup of hazardous substances  Sandstorm protection  Seismic retrofitting  School facilities maintenance A CFD may only finance the services mentioned above to the extent that they are in addition to those provided in the area before the CFD was created and may not supplant services already available within that area. Formation of a CFD authorizes a public agency to levy a special tax on all taxable property within the CFD in the manner prescribed in the formation documents. Property owned by or irrevocably offered to a public agency may be exempted from the special tax. Mello-Roos special taxes are collected at the same time and in the same manner as property taxes, unless otherwise specified by the agency. Special tax revenues may be used to pay debt service on bonds sold or may also be used to pay directly for facilities and public services. Mello-Roos bonds can be short- or long-term obligations. Typically, long-term bonds have either a twenty-five or thirty year maturity. Short-term notes or bonds can be issued to provide interim funding; these obligations are then retired when another source of revenue becomes available. Due to the flexibility associated with Community Facilities Districts and the wide range of facilities that can be funded by the Act, it is recommended that CFD bonds be used to fund facilities within the AASP area if land-secured financing is implemented. Developers will want to ensure that special tax levels are competitive with other areas of the City and with surrounding jurisdictions. The City will want to ensure that special taxes are collected and bonds repaid in a timely manner as promised to bond investors. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-285 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 18 July 23, 2014 ASSESSMENT DISTRICT Implementing a Special Assessment District (AD) involves using the Municipal Improvements Act of 1913 to initiate proceedings for the formation of an AD and the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 to issue bonds. These Acts provide mechanisms for issuers to construct or acquire public improvements, to apportion the costs through liens against the properties in a designated area which directly benefit from the improvements (the district), and to finance the costs through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds. Public works improvements are eligible for AD financing to the extent that properties within the district receive a special, measurable, local, and direct benefit from such improvements. Traditionally, improvements to be financed using an AD include, but are not limited to, streets and roads, water, sewer, local drainage facilities, utility lines, and landscaping. Other types of public improvements which have a “regional” significance (e.g., major roads, bridges, flood control facilities) are only partially eligible, based on the proportion of benefit from the improvements that can be assigned to parcels within the AD. Typically, items of general benefit to a community, such as schools, fire stations, and parks, have not been eligible for AD financing. The formation of an AD is initiated through either a petition submitted by sixty percent of the landowners in a proposed AD, or through the adoption of a Resolution of Determination and the preliminary approval of an investigative report by the City Council. The City then adopts a Resolution of Intention that designates the boundaries of the proposed AD, describes the proposed improvements, orders the issuance of bonds, and declares the City’s intention to levy the assessments. This resolution must include an engineer’s report that includes the proposed assessment diagram, which is used to determine the assessment levied against each property. Pursuant to Proposition 218, each landowner must be sent a notice of public hearing and a ballot that identifies the amount of assessment assigned to his/her parcel. The owner is directed to return the ballot indicating their support or opposition to the assessment. At the public hearing, the agency must determine if a majority protest exists. If ballots submitted in opposition to the assessment exceed the ballots submitted in favor, the agency must abandon the assessment proceedings. In determining whether a majority protest exists, the ballots are weighted based on the amount of assessment assigned to each parcel. Subsequent to the confirmation of assessments, a thirty-day cash payment is established during which any property owner can pre- pay the assessment. After this thirty-day period, bonds may be sold for all unpaid assessments in the newly-formed AD. Each parcel of property within an AD is assessed a portion of the costs of the public improvements and services to be financed by the AD based on the proportion of benefit received by that parcel. Assessment liens are levied at the time of formation of the AD and installment payments are collected along with property taxes on a semi-annual basis. Limitations on the timing and amount of financing available through an AD are similar to the limitations for CFDs, as discussed above. A minimum 3-to-1 value-to-lien ratio is usually required, and a reserve fund must be established to provide for timely debt service payments, regardless of delinquencies. It may be feasible to estimate the total ETR based on the anticipated ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-286 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 19 July 23, 2014 land uses for each parcel. However, because the assessment becomes a fixed amount on that parcel, if the land uses ultimately developed are different than anticipated, the actual ETR could be much higher than expected as a percentage of market value. CITY COPS Certificates of Participation (“COPs”) provide long-term financing for public improvements via a lease or installment sales structure. COPs permit the acquisition or construction of specific equipment, land, or facilities through the incurrence of debt, and do not require a local election. Although the structure of COPs can sound complicated, it is actually an efficient and straightforward method of securing tax-exempt financing for public facilities by taking advantage of an available stream of revenues. The principal parties to a COPs financing include a public agency, a non-profit corporation, and a trustee. The non-profit corporation may be formed specifically to construct necessary improvements, the funds for which are generated from the proceeds of the COPs sale. The nonprofit corporation may also be an existing agency, such as a joint powers authority or an economic development corporation. However, the actual responsibilities for construction are generally delegated to the public agency. The non-profit corporation then leases or sells the land and facilities back to the public agency in return for lease or installment sales payments. The investors who purchase COPs receive a specified portion of the public agency’s payments as payment of the principal and interest due on their COPs. The certificates are secured by the public agency’s pledge to cover its lease or installment sales payments. The trustee is responsible for accepting these payments and then disbursing them to the certificate holders. The issuance of COPs does not require the formation of a special district and is authorized by approval of a resolution by the governing body. COPs are secured by the covenant of the public agency to make annual appropriations in an amount sufficient to service the certificates. The appropriations may come from the general fund or from a designated special fund, such as an enterprise fund for sewer and water services. If the facility being financed by the COPs is revenue-producing, those revenues may be used to make lease payments. COPs are not secured by the full faith and credit, or taxing power, of the public agency. The revenue potential of COPs is limited by the availability of revenues which may be appropriated each year to make lease payments. Since the passage of the Gann Amendment in 1979, annual appropriations of government agencies have been limited to prior year appropriations adjusted for changes in the cost of living and population. In a period of declining transfer payments from the Federal and State levels to local governments, the availability of funds is further limited. The City might have the option to issue COPs in the event that a stream of revenues is available to secure lease payments and lump-sum funding is needed for facilities. Since the City would pledge its general fund to secure lease payments, the COPs will likely carry a lower interest rate than that of land-secured bonds. ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-287 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 20 July 23, 2014 Chapter 6 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN The Airport Area Specific Plan and this PFFP are based on assumptions of land use, facility demands, facility standards and design, and cost estimates. Since the Specific Plan is subject to updates and revisions in future years as development applications are submitted and processed, the PFFP must be revised to reflect such changes. The ongoing implementation of the PFFP will be parallel to the continued monitoring of the Specific Plan, and will require the same degree of time and effort to keep it current and useful. In this manner, the PFFP will guide the preparation of subsequent plans and the overall funding of community infrastructure required to serve the Project. Following is a summary of many of the tasks associated with implementation of the PFFP. UPDATES AND REVISIONS As noted above, changes may occur in AASP facility plans, land use plans, or cost estimates. If, and when, these items are revised, there will be a corresponding change in the fair share cost allocation to each land use in the AASP area. More specifically, land use and facility changes will result in revisions to the benefit analysis and corresponding cost allocations. To the extent some projects in the AASP will have been developed and will have paid their fair share as defined at the time they were built, revisions will apply only to future new development. If facility costs are determined to be higher than estimated in the PFFP, the City will need to increase fees in future years and/or call on developers to fund the extra expenses that relate to CFD financing through the provisions of an acquisition agreement. As the City will adopt new ordinances or update existing ordinances on an ongoing basis, fees will be adjusted based on actual costs realized after construction bids have been received for public facilities. If actual costs are higher than expected, again, the City will have to increase fees and/or rely on the terms of an acquisition agreement to avoid a financing deficit in future years. ADOPTION OF FEE PROGRAMS Prior to commencement of development within the Project, the City will need to adopt a fee ordinance or resolution implementing an AASP fee program for each type of capital facility. The initial ordinance will reflect fees based on information available at that time. Fees will be adjusted annually or on a more frequent basis to reflect actual costs and current cost estimates. Pursuant to section 66006 of the Government Code, the City will establish a separate AASP capital facility account and a unique fund for each type of public facility for which fees are collected. Establishment of this account will prevent commingling of the Project fees with other City revenues and funds. Interest income earned by fee revenues in this account will be deposited in the account and applied to facility construction costs. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of each fiscal year, the City will make information pertaining to the ATTACHMENT 8 PH2-288 AASP Public Facilities Financing Plan 21 July 23, 2014 account [as required by Section 66006 (b)(1)] available to the public and will review this information at a regularly scheduled public hearing. In order to maximize the efficiency of the capital improvements program and minimize debt issuance costs, the City may borrow money from one fund within the Project account to pay for facilities financed by another fund within the account. This borrowing will occur when one type of facility is needed immediately, while another type is not needed for a number of years. The City will monitor such borrowing on an ongoing basis and will repay funds from which fee revenues were borrowed in a timely manner and in an amount equal to the original amount borrowed plus the interest that would have accrued had the money not been borrowed from the fund. FEE CREDITS AND REIMBURSEMENTS Often, developers are expected to advance-fund or construct certain backbone infrastructure and community facilities required to serve the Project. The improvements that are advance funded may be improvements anticipated to be funded through the existing City fees, the proposed Project-specific fee program, or CFD bond proceeds. If a developer is required to advance-fund or provide shortfall funding for improvements, the developer may be entitled to fee credits or reimbursements from future development. Fee credit and/or reimbursement programs for existing and proposed fee programs will require agreement among the developers, the City, and any other applicable agencies who will be administering the fee programs. The policies and procedures for providing fee credits and reimbursements will be established in the implementing documents for the proposed Project-specific fee program and should be consistent with the development agreement, if applicable, between the City and the applicant. FORMATION OF FINANCING DISTRICTS If a developer requests formation of a Mello-Roos CFD and the City concurs with that request, the City must form a financing team made up of experts in the various fields associated with implementation of such districts, including bond counsel, bond underwriter, and special tax consultant. The City and the designated financing team will be responsible for forming the district, issuing bonds to pay for required facilities, and levying special taxes to ensure timely repayment of bonds.

Development within the LOVR area will be subject to the LOVR Area Base and Sub Area Add-On fees, which total $13.40, $11.96 and $6.03 per square foot of business park, service commercial, and manufacturing, respectively. Rates for business park uses are assumed to equal rates for office uses. However, City-wide transportation impact fees (TIF) shown in this table include a 5.5% increase to the current rates to reflect additional costs anticipated to be included in the City-wide TIF program. The fee per acre is calculated using the appropriate FAR from Table 1. 3 Assumes an average of 2 connections per acre and a 1" meter size. Assumes the draft wastewater fees for the Buckley area apply since a majority of future development within the AASP area outside of the Chevron development project falls within the Buckley catchment area. The City-wide water fee and Tank Farm area wastewater fee for a 1" meter are $18,317 and $12,510, respectively. The service sizes and related fees could vary based on the needs and sizes of specific developments. 4 Non-residential developments greater than 2,500 square feet are required to build two affordable dwelling units per acre, or pay an in-lieu fee equal to 5% of total construction costs. For purposes of this analysis, construction costs are assumed to be $100, $90, and $60 per business park, service commercial, and manufacturing square foot, respectively. 5 Non-residential developments are required to propose public art to be placed in a public place on or in the vicinity of the development project site, or pay an in-lieu fee equal to 0.5% of that portion of the total construction costs in excess of $100,000 for each building permit. For purposes of this analysis, construction costs are assumed to be $100, $90, and $60 per business park, service commercial, and manufacturing square foot, respectively, and the 0.5% is applied to the total construction costs. 6 The current non-residential fee is $0.42 per building square foot. 7 Entitlement process costs of approximately $560K are spread equally on a per acre basis.

The Staff Update was moved to just after approval of the minutes after which Commr. Draze recused himself due to ownership of property in the area of 276 Tank Farm Road. MINUTES: Minutes of November 13, 2013, were approved as amended. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: There were no comments made from the public. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. 276 Tank Farm Road. SPA 92-08: Review of amendments to the Airport Area Specific Plan as part of the Chevron Remediation and Development Project; Chevron Corporation, applicant. (Phil Dunsmore) Senior Planner Phil Dunsmore presented the staff report, recommending review and comment on the draft amendments to the Airport Area Specific Plan and continuation of the item to a later date when the Final EIR, Annexation, Subdivision Map, Revised Public Facilities Financing Chapter, and Development Agreement for the project will also be considered. In response to questions from the Commissioners, Senior Planner Dunsmore explained that staff is working closely with the County in developing the final EIR and that there is ongoing work to determine the cost and responsibility of infrastructure improvements. He stated that if the area is annexed by the City, it would be served by City water and sewer services, and, if it remains in the County, groundwater would be used and the applicant would be responsible for onsite wastewater treatment facilities. He noted that roundabouts are more efficient for traffic circulation flow, safer for bicycles and pedestrians, and generally provide enhanced levels of service, especially with multi-lane roundabouts. Attachment 9 PH2-308 Planning Commission Minutes December 11, 2013 Page 2 Commr. Malak stated he wanted to add language to City policy about energy consumption to include reference to active and passive solar design. He also expressed concern about bicycles and vehicles turning into driveways on Tank Farm Road. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that there is always potential for conflict with driveways but that there will be few on Tank Farm Road and more on the collector roads in the project. Commr. Riggs asked about the transition between Class 1 and 2 bike paths. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that this will be addressed when there is more development but that, if necessary, the City would help coordinate with adjacent property owners to avoid discontinuity in the network. In response to a question from Commr. Riggs, Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum explained that the number of lanes on Santa Fe and Tank Farm Road are determined by modeling that has clearly shown the need for four lanes on Tank Farm but is at the cusp between two and four lanes for Santa Fe. He noted that development in the project area will double and that there will be more information about the models with the EIR and the Land Use Element update. He requested to see the detail of traffic analysis in the next staff report. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Victor Montgomery, SLO, representing Chevron, thanked staff, especially Senior Planner Dunsmore, for working on and moving forward this complicated project that has been ongoing since 2008. He stated that Chevron is still in dialogue about improvements, all of which are linked to financing, and some things that will be discussed tonight are subject to change based on affordability. He requested that the Commission discuss and review the project but not endorse anything at this point. Commr. Fowler noted that Chevron bought this property with full knowledge that it is a contaminated site and that the check for that would be substantial. Mr. Montgomery stated Chevron also has huge projects going on in Avila and Guadalupe, and the Tank Farm property will be remediated but that development has a separate set of financial parameters. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: In response to questions from Commr. Multari, Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that staff is recommending both Class 1 and Class 2 bike paths as part of Phase One. Commr. Multari stated that he supports the bike paths over four lanes for Tank Farm Road if a choice had to be made. Commr. Riggs stated that roundabouts, especially multilane roundabouts, are dangerous for special needs and reduced vision individuals but somewhat effective for pedestrians and good for vehicles. He supported returning to the original language about this because it provided more flexibility. Attachment 9 PH2-309 Planning Commission Minutes December 11, 2013 Page 3 Commr. Fowler stated that staff had made the case for roundabouts and he supported them. In response to Commr. Fowler’s question concerning why language was struck in Attachment 2 about native grasses, Senior Planner Dunsmore explained that a more intense analysis resulted in a change in the number of plant species and birds which is covered in a less specific way in another section. He also explained that “leaked” on page 3-10 of Attachment 2 was deleted because there is no exact proof of leaking although there is a record of the tanks boiling over and that “City” was struck on page 4- 11 of Attachment 3 because the County, not the City, owns the airport. Commr. Larson asked why the “Significant and unavoidable (Class I) impacts to Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp” described on page ES-9 of Attachment 1 is not in the Class I Impacts table on page IST-2-1. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated this was originally a Class 1 impact but will be listed as Class 2. Commr. Larson asked if the City, County, and relevant resource agencies are satisfied that the wetlands expansion will not result in an excessive amount of bird strikes for air traffic. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that originally a 2:1 replacement was required but that resource agencies are now satisfied with 1:1. He noted that the amount of wetlands required has been dramatically reduced. Commr. Larson stated that it would be useful to see a graphic that overlays the various safety zones around the airport at a subsequent hearing so the Commission can consider potential uses for the public facilities parcel that will be consistent with occupational densities in the airport plan. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that a major revision was coming for consistency. He stated that since most Commissioners were not at last Monday’s workshop, Staff could present a scaled-down version of the workshop at a Commission hearing. He noted that members of the low vision community came to the workshop on Monday and that phased improvement of Tank Farm Road will mean starting with a two-lane road and single-lane roundabout. He stated that timing the improvement is important because problems result with cars going too fast when there is too much space in a multilane roundabout. Commr. Fowler asked about the bunch grass on the hill close to planned business development. Senior Planner Dunsmore explained that the bunch grass can be relocated and that the area is suited for development because it has a lower level of contamination, works well with the extension of Prado Road and is away from the airport safety zone. Commr. Malak asked about the difference in cost between building a four-lane Tank Farm Road in the first phase and building two lanes in the first phase and adding two lanes in four to ten years. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that there is always additional cost when doing things twice and that costs can increase over time with the estimate for the phasing costs on Tank Farm Road at about $5 million and Attachment 9 PH2-310 Planning Commission Minutes December 11, 2013 Page 4 probably more like 60%. Commr. Malak supported building all four lanes in the first phase. Commr. Larson stated that he had no strong feeling about either two or four lanes for Tank Farm Road but that, while he is a strong supporter of building bicycle facilities, he did not want to sacrifice efficient movement of vehicles. He noted that there is a need to do both and he would like to see more information about facilities financing. Commr. Fowler asked how the three-year time period for restoration was established. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that it was part of Chevron’s plan. Community Development Director Johnson stated that staff has developed a “chunked” approach to this complex project and will come back with the draft EIR and then entitlements. He noted that there may be a need for an addendum based on how the project is shaped down the road. There were no further comments made from the Commission. COMMENT AND DISCUSSION: 2. Staff a.

Ted Green Acting Supervising Administrative Assistant Attachment 9 PH2-311 SAN LUIS OBISPO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 28, 2014 CALL TO ORDER/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ROLL CALL: Commissioners Hemalata Dandekar, Michael Draze, John Fowler, Ronald Malak, William Riggs, Vice-Chairperson Michael Multari, and Chairperson John Larson Absent: None Staff: Community Development Director Derek Johnson, Senior Planner Phil Dunsmore, Deputy Director of Public Works Tim Bochum, Traffic Operations Manager Jake Hudson, Interim Assistant City Attorney Anne Russell, and Recording Secretary Diane Clement ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGENDA: The agenda was accepted as amended. The agenda forecast was moved forward to accommodate Commr. Draze who recused himself from consideration of Item 1. MINUTES: Minutes of May 14, 2014, were approved as presented. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: Mila Vujovich-LaBarre, SLO, stated that she met with staff concerning the acquisition of 40 Prado Road by the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) for RTA offices/facilities and has decided not to file an appeal, because she was assured that future development at that site will come before the Planning Commission. There were no further comments made from the public. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. 276 Tank Farm Road. SPA/ER 92-08: Recommend certification of Final EIR and amendments to portions of the Airport Area Specific Plan for the Chevron Remediation & Development Project: Chevron, applicant (Phil Dunsmore) Senior Planner Phil Dunsmore presented the staff report, recommending the City Council adopt the following resolutions and continue review of the Public Facilities Financing Plan (Chapter 8) of the Airport Area Specific Plan to July 9, 2014: a. Resolution A recommends the City Council certify the Final EIR with findings of overriding considerations relative to Air Quality and Transportation and Circulation. b. Resolution B recommends the City Council amend the Airport Area Specific Plan including policy amendments in Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 7 of the Airport Area ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-312 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 2 Specific Plan and General Plan Land Use Map to correspond to the Chevron project and FEIR. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Bill Thoma, SLO, endorsed the amendments and encouraged the development of a finance plan that is workable and affordable for applicants. He noted the importance of growing small companies into regional players, attracting businesses to the City, and developing resources for a tax base to finance further improvements. Victor Montgomery, representing Chevron, noted this project will provide benefits for the local economy and quality of life. He referred to EIR certification as the gateway to remediation and that it should be approved quickly so that a season of construction is not lost. He supported the staff recommendation and stated that Chevron is committed to remediation and restoration. Daniel Blandford, Business Development Manager for Calportland Construction which operates a ready mix concrete plant in the area, supported the project and encouraged the City to work toward solutions for a finance plan for this and all future projects. John Wallace, SLO, representing several properties in the area, recommended adoption of staff recommendations and commended separating out the financing plan. He expressed concern about how changing the construction fees would be reconciled with the remediation. Referring to page PC1-184, Table 4.3 Allowed Uses, he stated that it seems incorrect not to allow office use in the service commercial area. He stated that other entities deal with funding issues by forming bodies such as community service districts and also wrapping in some citywide considerations. He noted that the proposed fees for a 10,000-square foot metal building on Suburban Road would be $168,000, one third of the cost of the project. Myron H. Amerine, SLO, stated that remediation has been long awaited. He stated that the roundabouts should have sharrow markings and roads should have continuous Class 2 bike lanes. He noted that “bicycle/bike path” should be upgraded to be consistent with State terminology in the report. Mila Vujovich-LaBarre, SLO, stated that Tank Farm Road needs to be widened before remediation to avoid traffic congestion while toxic substances are being removed via the roadways. She suggested a northern alignment for the Class 1 bike way and that the 15-acre recreation area should be closer to the Damon Garcia Sports Complex. She stated that the 8,000-square foot commercial building planned by Chevron is not compatible with neighborhood character. She suggested that another remediation be considered for the intersection of Broad and Tank Farm. Carol Florence, SLO, representing East Airport Commerce Park, recommended adoption of the two resolutions. She stated that she wants a robust discussion of funding alternatives, because the fees are now over one-third of the cost of projects. She noted that she wants to provide certainty to clients for future development. ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-313 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 3 Charlene Rosales, Director of Government Affairs for the SLO Chamber of Commerce, stated that certification of the FEIR is a positive step that the Chamber supports. Lea Brooks, SLO, applauded the bicycle, pedestrian, and transit plans and noted that meeting the goals will require political will to get people to take public transportation, walk, or bike and that doing so will reduce the need to widen roads. She asked people to attend the workshop Saturday at the library. Steve LePell, SLO, expressed concern about the remediation process and asked if there will be monitoring of the process and a final report before development begins. He supported the comments of Ms. Vujovich-LaBarre and Ms. Rosales. He stated that he supports step-by-step development, and financing is a concern. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commr. Larson asked staff in attendance to do a presentation on fewer lanes for Tank Farm Road to address a question from Commr. Riggs about why the results of modeling two lanes was not included in the report when it had been specifically requested. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that four lanes, not two lanes, had always been a part of the analysis but that there had been a question about two lanes as part of the phasing of road construction. Traffic Operations Manager Hudson stated that the cumulative study said four lanes will be absolutely needed. He noted analysis of two-lane sections for each phase was done, and that the planned widening is designed to keep up with increasing traffic. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum added that it may be possible to include a study of two vs. four lanes as part of the LUCE coming to the Planning Commission in the future. He noted that the phasing was proposed by Chevron. Community Development Director Johnson stated that he recalled a discussion of the timing of two vs. four lanes and that more analysis can be done about when the four lanes will be needed and what will happen if the four lanes are not built. Commr. Riggs stated he had previously questioned the need for four lanes, referred staff to documents on smart roads and doubts whether four lanes are consistent with the LUCE. Commr. Multari stated that he also recalled a discussion recorded in the minutes about this issue. He noted that it is a policy question as to whether to reduce costs and absorb a worse level of service to try to force the community from single-person car trips to other modes. He stated he does not want to delay the remediation and asked about the impacts on the map. ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-314 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 4 Senior Planner Dunsmore and Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum reviewed the intersections where mitigation might not be possible due to the feasibility of acquiring the right of way and/or the cost. Commr. Multari asked if Prado Road alignment is different in this report than in the Circulation Element. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum responded with a reference to The Relationship of the Proposed Project to the Prado Road Extension on page PC1-40 of the report. Commr. Multari stated that fee calculations for the AASP based on proportional or fair share are only paying for what benefits the specific development. He asked if the improvements would need to be built if there was no development at all and no fees. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that this would be dealt with through the general fund or grants but that development drives the need for improvements. Commr. Multari noted that if the fees are too high, then there would be no development so the need for improvements would disappear. He stated that things not caused by the development should not be in the fees. Community Development Director Johnson stated that the City is precluded by law from charging for improvements beyond those generated by development and that the City must parse out impacts and charge only for impacts from the development, which is why the sophisticated traffic modeling is needed. Commr. Multari asked why the Planning Commission is being asked to recommend certification of the FEIR now without consideration of Chapter 8 and with the City Council not certifying the FEIR until September. Senior Planner Dunsmore responded that all issues with the FEIR have been resolved and staff wanted to reserve discussion with Council about financing as a separate issue. Commr. Multari asked whether amendments to expand the list of Class 1 impacts would be necessary if it is found later that there is no practical way to finance mitigations. Senior Planner Dunsmore responded that this would be necessary. Commr. Multari asked if an EIR amendment would be necessary if policy changed based on the LUCE, resulting in an LOS F with two lanes fifteen years in the future based on the City deciding to live with congestion, or if a different technology for transportation was developed, based on an overriding consideration to get people out of cars. Senior Planner Dunsmore responded that it would be necessary. ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-315 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 5 Commr. Multari asked if development of this project on the Chevron property could go ahead before remediation is completed. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that it could not. Multari asked if there would be opportunities to amend the EIR in the 3-4 years the remediation will take. Senior Planner Dunsmore responded that there would be opportunities. Commr. Multari stated that remediation is the first priority. He asked if there would be a process via amendment or supplement to the EIR if the philosophy or project changes. Community Development Director Johnson stated that nothing prevents making changes to the finance plan. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that revisions based on projects that are found not to be feasible might not require a supplemental EIR. He noted that Chevron will be contributing even if other things change. He also stated that that the use of sharrows in the roundabouts as suggested by Mr. Amerine can be done and that the terminology for bike paths/lanes will be made consistent with state nomenclature. Commr. Multari asked how remediation will be evaluated to assure the public that it has been properly done before development begins. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that a variety of state resource agencies and the City and County have worked together to develop the remedial action plan which includes many checks and balances and assurances. Community Development Director Johnson added that performance standards are included. Commr. Fowler stated he is trusting that the process has been and will continue to be thorough. He asked if the percentages shown for roundabouts applied to four-lane roads as well as the two-lane roads shown in the presentation. Traffic Operations Manager Hudson stated that the percentages are scalable to the size of the intersection. Commr. Fowler stated that he wants to support the recommendation to the City Council. He asked if there is still some adjustment in timing to be considered and what is the impact of tonight’s decision. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum responded that the timing of the filling of the square footage is important and that the five phases over 25 years may change somewhat. Community Development Director Johnson noted that the build out of Prado Road depends on what happens in the eastern portion and that it is possible to tailor some monitoring to determine when four lanes on Tank Farm are needed. ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-316 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 6 Commr. Fowler asked if the bikeways could be installed sooner and whether, when talking about impact fees, communitywide impacts are included. Community Development Director Johnson stated there is a need to identify an alternative funding source. Commr. Fowler noted that the difficult issues are financing and the timing of infrastructure completion. He noted that this project will be of huge interest in the community with lots of feedback and comments. Commr. Malak expressed concern about visually impaired pedestrians crossing the roundabouts. Traffic Operations Manager Hudson stated that all roundabouts are designed to federal standards for ADA requirements and amendments to those requirements are being reviewed now at the federal level and will be adopted here even if retrofit is necessary. Commr. Malak stated that he is not convinced and does not see that there is a solution. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that the City can experiment with the existing Prado Road roundabout and consult with the local low vision group. Commr. Malak asked how bike paths along Tank Farm Road could be built in stages. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that the Class 1 bike path would be built as close as possible to its final location although it may be built in an interim location if the need for four lanes stretches out in time. Commr. Riggs stated that he shared papers with staff about visual and auditory impairments in relation to roundabouts and noted that this issue warrants more consideration by staff. Commr. Larson asked about the lack of office uses in the commercial service zones. Senior Planner Dunsmore noted that several types of office uses are allowed and that the City is using what is done citywide to avoid repercussions in other areas. He noted that this complex subject requires a separate discussion and is not on the table tonight. Commr. Larson stated that the report focused on cumulative traffic impacts, several of which are significant and not able to be mitigated. He stated he wanted to know more about the Class 1 air quality impact and that, in his understanding, this relates to the operational phase after development in which emissions will not meet diesel particulate matter and fugitive dust thresholds. He noted that while the emissions are above the thresholds, the carcinogenic potential is below the limit used for health assessment. Senior Planner Dunsmore confirmed that this is correct. Commr. Larson noted that in the descriptions of traffic mitigations, “project” refers to both the Chevron project and to traffic projects which is confusing. He stated that the ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-317 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 7 key finding to be made by the Planning Commission about Class 1 impacts is that mitigation measures or project alternatives are not feasible. He noted the report contains the findings about the lack of feasibility and that staff wants the Commission to recommend certification and acceptance of the amendments with the exception of the financing. He stated that Class 1 impacts and the mitigation of long-term traffic impacts are bundled up with the financing issue, and even if staff does create a financing plan that holds together over the coming years, traffic improvements that eliminate impacts will probably not be provided. He noted that it is important to do more work on the financing plan and that debt financing, though complicated and harder now than in the past, should not be discounted as it can still be a solution with major roads. He concluded that he is concerned with financing but comfortable with moving this item forward. Commr. Multari stated he is ready to move this forward with the reservation that, after seeing Chapter 8 in six weeks, the Commission might give an additional recommendation to the Council before they act on it. He emphasized that he is really uncomfortable when staff brings something to the Commission and wants it taken seriously but says that some parts are coming later. He also noted that Chevron wants to get started quickly but the problem has been here for decades and he is concerned as to whether there will be opportunities later to hear any problems that will arise. Commr. Fowler stated that staff probably made the wiser decision to separate the two. Commr. Malak agreed with Commr. Multari’s comments. Commr. Dandakar stated that she is concerned about how the history of the area will be recognized and displayed as recommended by the Cultural Heritage Committee. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated that it is included in the EIR as a mitigation with signs, displays and viewing points along the bike paths in phase one of any development project and it is also included as an AASP policy. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Multari, seconded by Commr. Fowler, to approve Resolution A recommending the City Council certify the Final EIR with findings of overriding considerations relative to Air Quality, ad Transportation and Circulation. AYES: Commrs. Dandekar, Fowler, Larson, Malak, and Multari NOES: Commr. Riggs RECUSED: Commr. Draze ABSENT: None The motion passed on a 5:1 vote. On motion by Commr. Multari, seconded by Commr. Fowler, to approve Resolution B recommending the City Council amend the Airport Area Specific Plan including policy amendments in Chapters 3, 4, 6, and 7 of the Airport Area Specific Plan and General Plan Land Use Map to correspond to the Chevron project and FEIR. ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-318 Planning Commission Minutes May 28, 2014 Page 8 AYES: Commrs. Dandekar, Fowler, Larson, Malak, and Multari NOES: Commr. Riggs RECUSED: Commr. Draze ABSENT: None The motion passed on a 5:1 vote. Commr. Multari asked staff not to bring things to the Planning Commission in a piecemeal manner. COMMENT AND DISCUSSION: 2. Staff a. Agenda Forecast by Community Development Director Johnson 1) June 11, 2014, meeting: Laguna Lake Reserve Conservation Plan 2) Jun 25, 2014, cancelled pending any future need. 3) Workshop Saturday, May 31, 2014, 1-5 p.m., Library. 3. Commission a. Commr. Larson commended staff on completing this very difficult job, concurred with Commr. Multari’s comments and added that staff needs to listen carefully to what the Commission is saying. He noted that the City is in a transition period of adopting new policies about roads. He urged staff to work with consultants and developers to devise the best financing options possible. He thanked those who made public comments and noted that these were the most informative comments he has heard in his time on the Commission. b. Commr. Malak stated he was flabbergasted when one speaker stated that the equivalent of one third of a development’s costs go to fees. c. Commr. Fowler observed that financing is going to be a big deal and may not be done in one meeting. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 9:26 p.m. Respectfully submitted by, Diane Clement Recording Secretary Approved by the Planning Commission on June 11, 2014. Laurie Thomas Administrative Assistant III ATTACHMENT 10 PH2-319 DRAFT SAN LUIS OBISPO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 30, 2014 CALL TO ORDER/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ROLL CALL: Commissioners Hemalata Dandekar, Michael Draze, John Fowler, Ronald Malak, William Riggs, Vice-Chairperson Michael Multari, and Chairperson John Larson Absent: None Staff: Community Development Director Derek Johnson, Community Development Deputy Director Kim Murry, Senior Planner Phil Dunsmore, Deputy Director of Public Works Tim Bochum, Assistant City Attorney Jon Ansolabehere, and Recording Secretary Diane Clement ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGENDA: The agenda was accepted as amended. The agenda forecast was moved to the beginning of the agenda. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: There were no comments made from the public. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 1. 276 Tank Farm Road. SPA 92-08: Review of amendments to Chapter 8, Public Facilities Financing Plan, of the Airport Area Specific Plan; Chevron, applicant. (Phil Dunsmore) Commr. Draze recused himself from the meeting. He owns property near the Airport Area Specific Plan boundary. Senior Planner Dunsmore presented the staff report, recommending the Planning Commission adopt a resolution recommending approval of amendments to Chapter 8 of the Airport Area Specific Plan, amending the Public Facilities Financing Plan. PUBLIC COMMENTS: C. M. Florence, SLO, representing a commercial property being developed in the Airport Area, supported the recommendation. John Wallace, SLO, owner of land in the Airport Area noted that the reduced fees would still be very high. He recommended the consultant and staff reconsider the allocation of percentages to future projects and give further consideration to a Community Facilities PH2-320 Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 30, 2014 Page 2 District because it would allow payments to be paid over time. He also asked that revising the fee structure be considered if the City gets unanticipated grants. Bill Almas, SLO, representing the Chevron remediation and development project, stated that staff is making a sincere effort to develop infrastructure but the problem is almost unsolvable because the sources of financing are missing and the basis for allocation of fees is not explained. He noted that Chevron will incur significant excess costs beyond the fees and it is essential that the fees be reliable and known. He asked the Commission to uphold its recommendation taken in May 2014 to support certification of the EIR to allow the project to move forward. Ty Safreno, SLO, stated that developers in the airport area will be paying for Tank Farm Road improvements which benefit all of San Luis Obispo and portions of the County. He indicated that benefits from the improvements are far less than the cost burden assigned to future development. Charlene Rosales, SLO Chamber of Commerce, supported the staff recommendation as a step toward clarity and help in identifying new tools. She stated that the Chamber wants a more feasible fee structure and better financing opportunities, and would look favorably upon relieving some of the burden on the Airport Area developers. Bill Thoma, SLO, supported the comments of all previous speakers. He noted that the Airport Area is an economic engine for the City and there is a need to further reduce fees and that, if Chevron does not move forward, neither will other businesses. There were no further comments made from the public. COMMISSION COMMENTS: Commr. Larson stated that forwarding the Chapter 8 Financing Plan to the Council and finalizing the EIR for the Chevron property are not necessarily linked. He added that all of the public speakers noted that this is a difficult task. He noted that other infrastructure, specifically fire service, is not included in the plan. Community Development Director Johnson stated that, following adoption of the Margarita Area and Airport Area Specific Plans, the Fire Department adopted a fire master plan which identified response time deficiencies in the southern annexation areas. Since the specific plans were adopted prior to the master plan, the plans were not designed to accommodate enhanced emergency response, therefore this issue was identified as an impact in the FEIR. Commr. Multari stated that improvements required for airport area development are primarily to support new development with circulation and other infrastructure. He noted that it is an important political policy question for the Council as to whether the City wants this development and, if the message from property owners is that fees are too high and the community does want it, then the City has to pay for the difference. He added that there are several ways to pay: cash from the general fund, grants, and/or city-wide fees or by spreading the cost out among future owners in a Community PH2-321 Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 30, 2014 Page 3 Facilities District which would require a two-thirds vote in support. He stated that, short of that, the fees would have to be subsidized and the City would have to come up with $17 million to complete the necessary infrastructure and that is the part that benefits the community city-wide. Commr. Riggs commended the presentation and agreed with Commr. Multari about a CFD being unlikely to achieve. He noted that the City faces a paradox about wanting growth but imposing fees that would suppress that growth. Commr. Fowler noted that a discrepancy between the staff report and the Goodwin report that shows up in the chart on page 1-24. Senior Planner Dunsmore stated the chart will be updated to match the latest Goodwin report and that the numbers will continue to evolve and may not be what will actually be charged to a project. He added that this effort is a snapshot in time that estimates costs. Commr. Fowler commended the plan but noted it is a moving document and his inclination is to support this but recognize that more work needs to be done. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum noted that a request for a change on the part of a large project could cause changes in land use and impact circulation. He added that circulation issues arise due to incoming regional traffic and the best resolution is to go after grants and/or to the County for funding. Director Johnson stated that it is important to remember that when the LUCE update concludes, we will need to revise the city-wide impact fee program based on a new policy framework. He noted that there are many different factors that go into consideration of development fees and how to finance infrastructure. He added that one big question is whether fees are barriers to development and that ultimately the marketplace will drive the demand and determine development because, as adjacent areas in the County are built out, there will be more demand in the Airport Area. Commr. Multari pointed out that a Mello-Roos District would impose fees immediately even if building does not happen for 20 years. He stated that he thought the Goodwin report made gross assumptions and did not consider factors like pace of development, and that those assumptions do not reflect a very accurate picture of what might really happen. He noted that the proposed development agreement with Chevron is another issue and that information has not been provided regarding the terms of what the City is giving Chevron and vice versa but that any requirements associated with remediation and mitigation should not be counted as a public benefit since Chevron is required to provide those improvements. Commr. Multari stated he does not think Chapter 8 is particularly well written and that the section on City financing policy could be an appendix. He noted that cost estimates are not discussed until page 1-18, there is a need to include other components such as storm drainage improvements, and that sewer and water are only included near the end. He concluded by saying these are not substantive problems. PH2-322 Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 30, 2014 Page 4 Commr. Larson stated he is not sure it is not substantive. He noted that staff tried to update parts of a document written years ago, which makes the chapter somewhat awkward. Commr. Fowler noted that a correction is needed on page 1-15 under Factors Favoring Pay-As-You-Go Financing where “are” or “will” should be inserted, and on page 1-17, second paragraph, third line, it should say “market driven development cycles.” Commr. Larson summarized the issues: there is infrastructure to build, mostly roads; water and sewer facilities are not explicitly addressed; it will cost a lot of money; there are only a few ways to pay; fairness is important; fees need to be collected either city- wide or in just this area; the public speakers all had the same concerns; it is clear more work is necessary; information about using a CFD was provided but not recommended although only the property owners would be voting to accept or reject it. He added that privately negotiated development agreements are possible and the only way to reduce fees is to throw out some improvements or come up with alternatives for funding. He noted that staff will continue identifying alternatives but there will not be any resolution until the development community is organized enough to cooperate with staff in finding solutions. He concluded that this report does not resolve anything but it is better than the reports in 2005 and last May. Commr. Fowler stated that it is easier to have development pay rather than try to help out by finding grants or using city-wide financing. Commr. Dandakar stated that during discussions at the LUCE Task Force meetings, members were supportive of development, especially in areas with specific plans, but that costs should not be passed on to other neighborhoods or city-wide, and that development was not considered helpful if it negatively impacts quality of life or cost of living. She noted that the Task Force supported densification and a pedestrian and bike friendly model for the City and that people were willing to think about special grants and fees to make the City more accessible but that fees for development should be paid by the developers. She questioned whether this development should be done if it results in city-wide fees. Commr. Multari asked Commr. Riggs if he had any thoughts about how transportation in the future might be different from now. Commr. Riggs stated that he thinks we will see self-driving cars in less than five years because the technology is there and that the current model based on the EIR is from the 1970s. He noted that with the LUCE update, we are dealing with the community wanting a softer future with walkability, bike-ability and a future of health. Commr. Multari stated that he has had similar thoughts that in the future the concern about widening roads might not be as acute as it is in the way we look at things now. Director Johnson stated that this is ultimately a policy decision for the Council and that, over the next year, staff can look at strategies for funding and figure out where the City should be making investment to get the kind of growth wanted. He noted that the PH2-323 Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 30, 2014 Page 5 numbers create a feasibility question for developers. He stated that staff would like to move forward with the Chevron EIR to start remediation, which will take years, and hope to resolve fee issues by the time Chevron turns to development. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that the LUCE update could result in a fundamental and profound shift toward bikeways and pedestrian paths. Commr. Riggs stated that this has been one of the most honest conversations he has seen with the Commission and staff. He noted that staff is dealing with changing factors and he is willing to approve this resolution and forward it to Council. Commr. Malak stated that he appreciates the report but that it does not really have any recommendations. He added that he is supportive of moving it forward but stated that he will vote no if the resolution is not amended in section 1, finding 3, which he interprets as giving funding priority to bike infrastructure and he has concerns about other special interests coming in to push for what they want. After a discussion, it was decided that finding 3 would be amended and finding 4 would be deleted. Commr. Riggs made a motion to adopt the Resolution and the following discussion ensued. Commr. Dandakar asked if the Commission is going to endorse the way suggested by Commr. Multari to separate things that are specific to this plan and those that are more city-wide. Commr. Larson stated that the financing plan, though far from complete, is at the point where it allows focus on policy issues, so it is appropriate to send it forward but staff should continue to work on it. He noted that it is likely this will be revisited after the city- wide changes to the General Plan so he approves the staff recommendation as amended for finding 3 and deleting finding 4. Commr. Multari stated he supports the motion but is disappointed with the Goodwin report. Commr. Malak expressed concern about the effect not sending it forward would have on the EIR which he stated he wants to see move forward. He asked if the LUCE update would result in radical changes in the financing plan. Deputy Director of Public Works Bochum stated that it will do so and that there are fundamental policy level decisions that will need to be made due to this shift. He added that moving this forward freshens up the document which is ten years old and that the changes in costs and fees will mean projects will pay the new fees between the time the AASP is updated and when city-wide fee discussions occur subsequent to the LUCE. Community Development Director Johnson stated that the City needs to have policy in place to start negotiations with Chevron. PH2-324 Draft Planning Commission Minutes July 30, 2014 Page 6 Commr. Fowler stated he will support the motion and agrees with Deputy Director Bochum’s statement. There were no further comments made from the Commission. On motion by Commr. Riggs, seconded by Commr. Malak, to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution approving amendments to Chapter 8 of the Airport Area Specific Plan, amending the Public Facilities Financing Plan with finding 3 to read “will provide funding necessary for the anticipated development in the airport area plan and will help finance the improvements to key circulation features in the plan area ” and deleting finding 4.

CL&D shall not be required to post a bond or cash deposit for subdivision improvements or otherwise beyond those required for Phase I, as a condition of recording a final map creating all of the Phases as parcels. Access and access related improvements to parcels other than those included in Phase I shall be agreed upon by the Parties and secured by CL&D before either conveyance to third parties or issuance of building permits for those parcels. c. Prior to the commencement of physical construction of any Phase after Phase I, the financial responsibility for the construction of public infrastructure in that Phase and security for construction of the public infrastructure shall be agreed upon by the Parties and posted by CL&D as conditions precedent to the issuance of building permits for subsequent Phases. 6. Vested Rights - Project Approvals, CEQA Approvals, Applicable Laws and Development Fees are fixed and vested as of the agreed date of [____________] through the end of the Term. Development Fees are subject to escalation in accordance with the ENR Construction Cost Index for San Francisco. See the list of vested Project Approvals, Applicable Laws and Regulations attached as Exhibit A. The City shall act in good faith to accomplish the intent of the Development Agreement and shall cooperate with CL&D so that it receives the benefits of and the rights vested by the Development Agreement, including reasonable cooperation and assistance -at no cost to the City- in obtaining necessary or desirable permits or other approvals from other governmental entities for the Project, including annexation of the Project into the City. CL&D shall act in good faith to accomplish the intent of the Development Agreement, including construction by CL&D of the required Phase I Backbone Infrastructure in conjunction with the construction of the Phase I improvements. a. Implementing Approvals. The City shall promptly process and grant all approvals requested by CL&D for implementing the development of the Project consistent with the Project Approvals and the Development Agreement, including such matters as approval of maps pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act or local ordinance, building and occupancy permits, rezonings, use permits, design review permits and approvals, and other land use entitlements, contracts, acceptance of improvements, and release and reduction of bonds, whether discretionary or ministerial in the manner required by Applicable Law. Nothing in this agreement is intended to, or shall PH2-327 3 A/76286404.3/3005185-0000364743 be construed to, compel the City to approve any such approval in violation of Applicable Law. b. Subsequent Approvals. The City shall review and act on applications for Subsequent Approvals (approvals which alter the uses or the density or intensity of development or the term of the Development Agreement) in accordance with the City’s then existing rules, regulations, and policies. The City may approve an application for a Subsequent Approval subject to any conditions necessary to bring the Subsequent Approval into compliance with then existing law. Any such specified modifications must be consistent with then existing City rules, regulations, and policies. Subsequent Approvals shall become automatically vested under the Development Agreement when granted and applicable appeal periods have run without appeal. c. New Laws. The City shall not impose on the Project (whether by action of the City Council or by initiative, referendum or moratorium), any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, standard, directive, condition, fee, dedication, exaction, moratoria, growth management restriction, or other limitation relating to the rate, timing, phasing or sequencing of development, affecting subdivision maps, building permits or other entitlements or other measure that is in conflict with Applicable Law or the Development Agreement or that reduces the development rights or assurances provided by the Development Agreement. The Project must comply with applicable new State and Federal law. The Project will be subject to new laws of citywide applicability which are limited in subject to matters specifically designed to protect the physical health or safety of people in the City. This exception is to be construed narrowly and is not intended to include laws which purport to regulate the intensity or density of land uses at the Project, promote the general welfare of people in the City or laws otherwise authorized under the police power. d. Public Facilities. The City shall exercise its best efforts to make available public services and facilities to serve the Property as development occurs consistent with Applicable Law. The City and CL&D shall coordinate with each other such that needed utilities and services will be available when Phases are constructed to the extent possible. To the maximum extent permitted by law and consistent with its authority, the City shall for the term of the Development Agreement: (i) cooperate with CL&D in obtaining such approvals from the RWQCB as may be necessary to allow the City to serve, and the owner to operate, the Project; (ii) reserve or build for CL&D such wastewater treatment capacity as may be necessary to serve and operate the Project and to allow the City to provide a will serve letter confirming this commitment at the commencement of each Phase, as agreed in the form of a PH2-328 4 A/76286404.3/3005185-0000364743 will serve letter or which are otherwise required by the Applicable Law; (iii) reserve, or build for CL&D at no cost to the City, the supply, storage and transmission capacity for potable and recycled water and related services that are necessary to serve and operate the Project and to allow the City to provide, provided the City is able to do so consistent with Applicable Law and CL&D has funded or committed to fund, to the City’s reasonable satisfaction, the City’s cost to provide that service, a will serve letter confirming this commitment at the commencement of each Phase as agreed in the form of a will serve letter or which are otherwise required by the Applicable Law; (iv) provide connection to the City’s storm drain system and acceptance of site drainage within the limitations of the existing system capacity, with CL&D to comply with Post Construction Requirements to reduce run-off, and run-off from the completed Project not to exceed the runoff contemplated from the Project approved under the CEQA review; and (v) to not reduce or eliminate the downstream properties’ existing obligations, if any, to accept surface runoff from the completed Project. e. Extension. The life of all Project Approvals, Implementing Approvals and Subsequent Approvals, existing or future, including Subdivision Maps, shall be extended to the end of the term of the Development Agreement. 7. Processing Cost Charges. Inspection and Processing Fees for the costs of inspecting, reviewing, and approving Public Improvement Plans and specifications shall be mutually agreed upon and based on the value of public improvements for the Project actually inspected by the City consistent with the City’s adopted fee schedule as reasonably determined by the Public Works Director. 8. Phase I Backbone Infrastructure. “Phase I Backbone Infrastructure” refers to that portion of improvements required to support Phase I of the Project out of the total public improvements described in the then applicable Airport Area Specific Plan fee program. CL&D will build the Phase I Backbone Infrastructure at the time it builds Phase I of the Project. 9. Reimbursement. The City and CL&D have agreed to negotiate a separate Reimbursement Agreement regarding the Project. This Reimbursement Agreement will contain: specifics regarding the amount of any infrastructure installed by CL&D in excess of CL&D’s fair share (the “Over Improvement Amount”); specifics regarding the possible source or sources of reimbursement (e.g. fee revenues, reimbursement from other property owners and advances from other City sources); and specifics regarding the timing of reimbursement of that Over Improvement Amount. The City and CL&D agree that development of “Phase I Backbone Infrastructure” improvements significantly benefit and serve property that is not within the PH2-329 5 A/76286404.3/3005185-0000364743 subdivision or site development area and agree that the Over Improvement Amounts of these Phase I Backbone Infrastructure improvements are eligible for reimbursement under Section 16.20.110 – Reimbursement – of the City’s Municipal Code. 10. Annexation Condition Subsequent. In the event that the Project is not annexed to the City by [________________], either party may terminate the Development Agreement by written notice to the other party. 11. Open Space Land Management and Conservation Easement. City and CL&D shall negotiate the terms and conditions of a mutually agreeable Conservation Easement encumbering the open space parcel, subject to the approval of other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction, if necessary. The Conservation Easement will comply with the requirements of California Civil Code 815 et seq. The Conservation Easement shall include provisions by which City agrees to manage the open space property, pursuant to an Open Space Management Plan, which shall be incorporated by reference and may amended from time to time by mutual agreement of City and CL&D, and shall at minimum include components such as site maintenance, public access improvements and facilities, patrol, and public education. City shall prepare a Baseline Conditions Report documenting the conditions of the easement area which shall be agreed upon by the City and CL&D as representing an accurate depiction of the easement area at the time of recordation of the easement. City and CL&D shall agree upon the amount of a restricted fund to support ongoing monitoring, management and administration of the easement and Open Space Management Plan. Upon recordation of the Conservation Easement, CL&D will make a lump sum payment to City in the agreed upon amount to establish the restricted fund. If required by the other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction, the Conservation Easement may be granted to or administered by a non-governmental conservation organization acceptable to the parties and other regulatory agencies. 12. Fire Protections Services. The Final EIR for the Chevron project says that development shall only be approved when the City deems that adequate fire suppression services and facilities, consistent with adopted travel time standards, are available, or will be made available concurrent with development at the Project Site (PS/U-5b). In order to mitigate the impacts of the proposed project, the Final EIR provides that CL&D could deed to the City property at the Project Site that the City could use for the development of a public fire station (PS/U-5a) as a mitigation measure. The development of a new public fire station at the Project Site is not expected to occur until the later phases of the project, when infrastructure is available to serve the site. Until such time as a new public fire station is constructed (either at the Project Site or at a different location), and concurrent with the first phase of building construction at the Project Site, CL&D will participate in funding co- PH2-330 6 A/76286404.3/3005185-0000364743 location of City fire services with existing CALFIRE facilities located on Broad Street, to satisfy Mitigation Measure PS/U-5b.b. The amount of the funding shall be agreed upon between City and CL&D and shall be reasonably based upon the proportional need for fire services generated by CL&D’s Project and the need for fire services generated by other property owner’s projects. 13. Mortgagee Protection. The Agreement shall contain conventional provisions recognizing the priority of the Development Agreement, including any real property security given to secure subdivision improvements, over a third party Mortgagee, but protecting the rights of Mortgagees from defaults and allowing a right to cure. 14. Transferees. CL&D may transfer portions of the Project to third party purchasers with the approval of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The City’s approval shall be based solely upon the transferee meeting certain objective financial and experience criteria to be stated in the Development Agreement. Any transferee shall enter into a written agreement regarding the respective interests, rights and obligations of CL&D and the transferee under the Development Agreement, the Project Approvals, the Implementing Approvals and the Subsequent Approvals. The transfer agreement may (i) release CL&D from obligations under the Development Agreement, the Project Approvals, or the Implementing Approvals or the Subsequent Approvals that pertain to that portion of the Project being transferred, as described in the transfer agreement, provided that the transferee expressly assumes such obligations, (ii) transfer to the transferee vested rights to improve and use that portion of the Project being transferred, and (iii) address any other matter deemed by CL&D to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transfer or assignment. Except for the right to receive credits against Airport Area Add-on Fees, CL&D shall not partially assign its rights to payment of the Over-Improvement Amount, but may assign all of its rights to repayment to a single master developer. All such assignments shall require the City’s written approval. 15. Dispute Resolution. All disputes shall be resolved first by negotiation and if unsuccessful, by non-binding mediation and finally by judicial reference to a mutually agreed upon referee pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, et. seq. If the parties are unable to agree upon a referee, either party may seek to have one appointed pursuant to Section 640 by the presiding judge of the San Luis Obispo County Superior Court. The referee shall apply all California Rules of Procedure and Evidence and shall apply the substantive law of California in deciding the issues to be heard. The parties agree to waive punitive damages and consequential damages, such as lost profits arising out of breach of this Agreement, and to look to specific performance as the primary judicial remedy for breach. PH2-331 7 A/76286404.3/3005185-0000364743 16. Joint Defense of Project. CL&D will defend and hold harmless the City in any administrative, legal or equitable action or proceeding challenging the Development Agreement, or any Project Approval or Implementing Approval or Subsequent Approval and shall reimburse the City for the reasonable fees of counsel for the City, and shall reimburse the City for other out of pocket costs it reasonably incurs, but not for the City’s general and administrative costs and the time of City staff, including attorneys. [Note CL&D is not a special purpose entity, but has substantial assets in its own right.][CL&D to provide some financial information] 17. Environmental Indemnity. To the fullest extent provided by law, CL&D will indemnify, defend and hold the City, its officials, employees, and agents harmless from and against any liabilities, damages, expenses (including attorney’s fees) or losses whatsoever arising from claims, lawsuits, or administrative actions by third parties relating to Covered Contamination, as defined below, including any penalty imposed by any governmental agency or demand or requirement that the City perform an investigation or cleanup action for Covered Contamination on the Property. “Covered Contamination” means the presence or suspected presence of hazardous materials contamination originating from the operations or activities of Union Oil Company of California, or its agents, contractors, predecessors in title, or affiliates, in, upon, under, at, or emanating from or alleged to be emanating from the Property. Covered Contamination does not include, and CL&D will not be responsible for, any hazardous materials contamination released by a party other than Union Oil Company of California, or its agents, contractors, or predecessors in title or affiliates. 18. Termination option. If CL&D and the City are unable to reach mutually agreeable terms for reimbursement for infrastructure costs in excess of those costs that could otherwise be required of CL&D as conditions of its development, then CL&D shall have the option to terminate the Agreement and to proceed with development as would otherwise be permitted pursuant to approved entitlements. In such event, any extensions of vesting rights conferred by the Agreement shall terminate and the term of vested rights shall be governed by otherwise Applicable Law, provided however that the running of expiration periods of subdivision maps and other entitlements shall be tolled during the pendency of the Agreement prior to the termination. All other obligations and rights of the parties granted solely by virtue of the Agreement shall be null and void and the parties shall be governed by otherwise applicable development requirements and environmental obligations. 19. Miscellaneous. The Development Agreement shall contain customary miscellaneous provisions regarding notices, contract management, interpretation of the Agreement, attorneys’ fees, counterparts and the like.

XXXX-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO CITY COUNCIL CERTIFYING THE FINAL EIR FOR THE CHEVRON TANK FARM REMEDIATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (APPLICATION # ER 92-08) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on May 28, 2014, for the purpose of considering the Final EIR for the Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development project; and WHEREAS, said public hearing was for the purpose of formulating and forwarding a recommendation to the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo regarding the Final EIR for Chevron Remediation and Development Project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council certify the Final EIR which includes the mitigation monitoring program and findings of overriding considerations prepared for the project; and WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on September 2, 2014, for the purpose of considering the Final EIR for the Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development project; and WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff and the Planning Commission, presented at said hearing. WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the following findings in addition to the CEQA findings detailed in Exhibit A: Findings 1. The Final EIR was prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and was considered by the City prior to any approvals of the project. 2. The Final EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City. 3. For each significant effect identified in the EIR under the categories of Air Quality, Biological Resources, Transportation and Circulation, Geological and Soil Resources, Noise and Vibration, Aesthetics and Visual Resources, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Public Services and Utilities, the approved mitigation measures contained in the EIR will avoid or substantially lessen Resolution “A” PH2-334 Resolution No. XXXX-14 Certification of the Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 2 the identified adverse environmental impacts of the project to a level of insignificance and have been incorporated into the project. 4. The significant effects identified in the Air Quality and Cumulative Transportation sections of the EIR will not be fully mitigated to a degree of insignificance with the incorporation of all the identified mitigation measures included in the EIR. However, the Planning Commission finds that the adverse environmental effects are acceptable and makes a statement of overriding considerations for those significant and unavoidable environmental impacts because: a. Mitigation strategies are identified in the Final EIR help to reduce project emissions and ultimately put the air basin in closer compliance with established State and federal standards and a similar amount of commercial development was contemplated in the previous version of the Airport Area Specific Plan and its accompanying FEIR. b. Significant changes to air quality and area wide transportation are inherent to the project due to the potential scale of the proposed development area when combined with Cumulative development elsewhere in the City and cannot be reduced by altering the design or location of the project. c. The Cumulative impacts addressed in the FEIR include mitigation measures designed to improve vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian circulation at many locations in the area that are already reaching maximum levels of service under current conditions. d. The amount of land proposed for permanent open space dedication combined with a restoration plan to enhance the open space provides positive environmental enhancements that will help to offset the potential significant impacts of the proposed project. e. The proposed project will provide for necessary bicycle connections in the form of class 1 pathways linking the Damon Garcia Sportsfields to Tank Farm Road and other properties, linking Tank Farm Road to Prado Road, and linking Tank Farm Road to the Avila Ranch property. These bicycle connections will encourage alternative forms of transportation thereby offsetting potential significant traffic and circulation impacts as well as air quality impacts. f. The proposed project will relocate proposed commercial areas away from sensitive biological habitat areas while facilitating remediation and restoration of the former tank farm property thereby enhancing the biological functions of the property. g. The proposed project will relocate proposed commercial areas and land uses away from potential airport hazards while clearly identifying airport open space zones, runway protection zones while improving physical features to enhance airport safety thereby reducing potential hazards. h. The project will provide expansion space for existing businesses and opportunities for new businesses to locate in the City by creating new business park and service commercial space which will further the General Plan Land Use Element goals and which will provide additional sales tax revenues for the City that the City can use to provide services to the community. i. The project will provide for a significant expansion to the City’s open space reserve, with the intent of securing open space for recreational uses, habitat restoration, and viewshed PH2-335 Resolution No. XXXX-14 Certification of the Chevron Remediation and Development Project Page 3 preservation on land that is contiguous to other such open space areas. j. The project will help finance improvements to key circulation features including the widening of Tank Farm Road, aesthetic improvements to the Tank Farm corridor, the incorporation of important bicycle and pedestrian linkages, the connection of Tank Farm Road to the future extension of Prado Road and the re-alignment of Santa Fe Road south to correct hazardous road features. SECTION 2. Action. The City Council hereby certifies the Final EIR for the Chevron Remediation and Development project with findings and mitigation measures as described in attached Exhibit A and subject to the following condition: Condition 1. The applicant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City and/or its agents, officers and employees from any claim, action or proceeding against the City and/or its agents, officers or employees to attack, set aside, void or annul, the certification by the City of this Environmental Impact Report, and all actions relating thereto. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim, action, or proceeding.

Environmental Determination The City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo considers and relies on the Final Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number 2009031001) for the Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development in determining to carry out amendments to the Airport Area Specific Plan (AASP). The Final EIR consists of the three volumes, including the Final EIR, responses to comments on the Draft EIR, a list of persons and agencies commenting on the Draft EIR, a Mitigation Monitoring Program, and technical appendices. The City Council has received, reviewed, considered, and relied on the information contained in the Final EIR, as well as information provided at hearings and submissions of testimony from official participating agencies, the public and other agencies and organizations. Having received, reviewed and considered the foregoing information, as well as any and all information in the record, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo hereby makes these Findings pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code, as follows: II. Summary Project Description The Project Site was originally owned and operated by Union Oil. Chevron purchased Union Oil, including the Project Site, in August 2005. The San Luis Obispo Tank Farm was constructed on the property in 1910 to serve as the accumulation point for the petroleum pipeline from the San Joaquin Valley. In 1926, many of the tanks on the Project Site were destroyed in a fire created by a lightning strike. The Tank Farm was slowly withdrawn from operation during the later decades of the twentieth century, and by the late 1990s it was formally decommissioned. The Project Site now exists as primarily vacant land that is surrounded by the expanding footprint of urban development of the City, and the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SLOCRA). The Applicant intends to remediate the Project Site to address site contamination issues, restore habitat, and develop portions of the Project Site consistent with a proposed land use plan. The Project consists of two principal components: remediation and development. The remediation portion of the Project is based on an extensive collaborative process with resource agencies that have concurred with the Applicant’s proposed remediation approach, while taking into consideration the proposed future uses at the Project Site. The second component of the Project involves development of business park and service commercial uses. The Project entails a complex permitting landscape for a couple of reasons. First, although the Project Site is within the County, it is also located within the City’s Urban Reserve Line (URL) and Urban Services Line (USL) and has been identified by the City for annexation. Second, the Project is broken into two larger phases: remediation and development. The County is responsible for the remediation phase, while the development phase would be regulated by either the County or City, depending on whether or not the Project Site is annexed into the City. In addition, the Project Site is located within an area that is subject to the Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP). On March 19, 2014 received a determination of consistency with the ALUP from the Airport Land Use PH2-339 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 2 Commission. The remediation and restoration component includes several activities proposed to occur over a three-year period: demolition of existing buildings and selected reservoir remnants, excavation of top soil and sub- surface material, site re-contouring, capping, and increasing the quantity of wetland and rare plant habitats. Re-contouring would be done mostly using on-site materials. The second component of the Project would be development of portions of the Project Site. If the Project is annexed into the City, there would need to be amendments to the City AASP, the General Plan, the Airport Compatibility Open Space Plan (ACOS), a tentative Tract Map, as well as other City permits. If the development is in the County, then a General Plan amendment and conditional use permit would be required. The Applicant’s goal is to develop approximately 17 percent of the Project Site with approximately 800,000 square feet (floor area) of business park and service commercial uses. Development would be implemented in five phases over a period of approximately 25 years; each phase would create approximately 160,000 square feet of leasable floor area. The proposal includes designation of approximately 15 acres for recreational use (may include up to two acres of public land) to be developed by a subsequent Project Site/individual lot owner. The Project Site is included in the City’s AASP that anticipates future annexation of this and other properties in the area given its proximity to existing City boundaries, existing industrial uses, and the SLOCRA. In addition, the City’s AASP encourages the environmentally sensitive portions of the Project Site – comprised of approximately 250 acres – be kept in open space. III. City Development Plan / Airport Area Specific Plan Amendments The City Development Plan proposes development of the Project Site with approximately 803,000 square feet of commercial and industrial floor area with associated parking, landscaping, open space, recreational playing fields, bicycle and pedestrian trails. The City Development Plan could also include land for the City to construct public facilities such as a transit maintenance yard and storage facility or a fire station and training facility. The development would be phased over a 25-year period. The proposed land uses under the City Development Plan include 27.85 acres of Business Park development (BP-SP), 26.01 acres of Service- Commercial development (C-S-SP), 15.05 acres of Public Facilities (PF-SP) intended for recreational ball fields, 13.62 acres of public right-of-way (e.g., streets), and the approximately 250-acre balance as Open Space (C/OS-SP). See Figure ES-3. The Applicant-proposed City Development Plan trades approximately nine acres of developable area in the northwest portion of the Project Site and on the west edge of the area south of Tank Farm Road for 16 acres in the northeast portion of the Project Site. The City would provide water, sewer, and public services such as police and fire. The City recently installed a sewer trunk line in Tank Farm Road along the property’s frontage. The Applicant would extend the potable and recycled water mains and utilities to the developable areas. Improvements and modifications would be made to existing roadways in the Project area. Tank Farm Road would be widened to four lanes from Acacia Creek in the east to the western boundary of the property. Santa Fe Road, south of Tank Farm Road, would be re-aligned and tied into Tank Farm Road. PH2-340 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 3 New roads would also be constructed north of Tank Farm Road. The City Development Plan would also require amendments to the AASP and the ACOS. Some of the major changes to the AASP would include modification of some of the zoning on the Project Site, modification of the boundaries of the Cluster Development Zone, elimination of the Unocal Collector Road, elimination of the Class I multi-use trail to the south, and installation of a signalized intersection at Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe Road (the AASP calls for the use of a roundabout at this intersection). Amendments to the AASP include:  Removing the Service-Commercial designation on approximately 8.6 acres in the northwest corner of the Project Site;  Eliminating or relocating the collector street (known as the Unocal Collector) along the western and northern edges of the Project Site, which would also include removing underlying planned utilities and realigning the sewer trunk line located within the collector street’s right-of-way;  Providing an additional driveway connection to Tank Farm Road just west of the existing driveway entrance to the Tank Farm offices. The location of the proposed driveway entrance is shown in Appendix A.3, page A.3-10;  Installation of a signalized intersection at Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe Road (the AASP calls for the use of a roundabout at this intersection); and  Revisions to appropriate text, tables, and graphics to reflect land use and circulation changes, including: o Land Use areas designations amended to reflect the acreages as described for the Project; o Plan Area Zoning amended to reflect the acreages as described for the Project; o Primary Circulation System and Functional Classifications within AASP Area and Surrounding Community amended to Proposed Primary Circulation System and Functional Classifications; o Bicycle Plan amendment consisting of eliminating the Class I bikeway on the south side of Tank Farm Road, eliminating the Class I bike path connecting Tank Farm Road to Buckley Road along Tank Farm Creek, The bike lanes along the Unocal Collector Road (this road would not be built as part of the Project), and realignment of some of the bike paths shown in the Bicycle Transportation Plan. o Modify southern side of Tank Farm Road street section to remove sidewalk and Class I path and include a 12-foot wide Class I multi-use path on the north side of Tank Farm Road; o Update to the AASP cluster development zone evaluation; and o Update information and mitigations related to environmental issues. IV. The Record The California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15091 (b) requires that the City's findings be supported by substantial evidence in the record. Accordingly, the Lead Agency's record consists of the following, which are located at the City Community Development Department office, San Luis Obispo, California:  Documentary and oral evidence, testimony, and staff comments and responses received and PH2-341 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 4 reviewed by the Lead Agency during informational workshops, public review, and the public hearings on the project.  The Chevron Tank Farm Project Final Environmental Impact Report, Volumes I, II, and III.

That, based on information set forth in the Final EIR and in the Findings of Fact, the adverse environmental effects related to operational related air quality and cumulative transportation and circulation associated with the Chevron Tank Farm Project are significant effects which cannot be entirely mitigated or avoided if the project is approved and implemented; PH2-342 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 5 3. That no additional adverse impacts will have a significant effect or result in substantial or potentially substantial adverse changes in the environment as a result of the Chevron Tank Farm Project. D. The City Council hereby finds and determines that: 1. All significant effects (except operational related air quality and cumulative transportation impacts) that can be feasibly avoided have been eliminated or substantially lessened as determined through the findings set forth in Section VIII; 2. The project design and development incorporates adequate measures to ensure protection of significant archeological resources, biological resources, and visual and aesthetic resources. 3. Based on the Final EIR, the Findings, and other documents in the record, specific environmental, economic, social and other considerations make infeasible other project alternatives identified in the Final EIR; 4. Based on the Final EIR, the Findings, and other documents in the record, the remaining unavoidable significant environmental effects of the Chevron Tank Farm Project are outweighed and overridden by the benefits of the project as described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations. 5. Should the final design of the Chevron Tank Farm Project have the potential to result in adverse environmental impacts that are not anticipated or addressed by the December 2013 Final EIR, subsequent environmental review shall be required in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a). VI. Statement of Overriding Considerations The Final EIR has identified and discussed significant effects that will occur as a result of the proposed project. With the implementation of the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR, these effects can be mitigated to a level of insignificance except for operational related air quality impacts and cumulative transportation impacts (see Section IX of these findings for further discussion of potentially significant impacts associated with the proposed project). Having reduced the effects of the proposed project by adopting the other mitigation measures and a program to monitor mitigation measures for certain project-related impacts, and having balanced the benefits of the project against the project's unavoidable adverse impacts, the City Council pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15093 and 15092 hereby determines that the benefits of the proposed project outweigh these potential unavoidable adverse impacts based on the following overriding considerations: 1. The amount of land proposed for permanent open space dedication combined with a restoration plan to enhance the open space provides positive environmental enhancements that will help to offset the potential significant impacts of the proposed commercial development. 2. The proposed commercial development will provide for necessary bicycle connections in the form of class 1 pathways linking the Damon Garcia Sports Fields to Tank Farm Road and other properties, linking Tank Farm Road to Prado Road, and linking Tank Farm Road to the Avila Ranch property. These bicycle connections will encourage alternative forms of transportation thereby offsetting potential significant traffic and circulation impacts as well as air quality PH2-343 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 6 impacts. 3. The proposed amendments to the AASP will relocate proposed commercial areas away from sensitive biological habitat areas while facilitating remediation and restoration of the former tank farm property thereby enhancing the biological functions of the property, improving drainage and surface water flow, reducing downstream flooding, and eliminated existing wildlife entrapment hazards. 4. The proposed amendments to the AASP will relocate proposed commercial areas and land uses away from potential airport hazards while clearly identifying airport open space zones, runway protection zones while improving physical features (e.g., removing the walls and upper portions of the berms of former Reservoir 2) to enhance airport safety thereby reducing potential hazards. 5. The City has identified the following overriding economic, social, and other public benefits of the project, which are additional reasons that the significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the Final EIR can be found acceptable, and hereby adopts them as a statement of overriding considerations: a. In conformance with the City’s General Plan policies and community goals, the project will provide for additional commercial development opportunities within the City’s urban reserve area while providing for jobs, necessary services and key infrastructure improvements. b. The project will provide expansion space for existing businesses and opportunities for new businesses to locate in the City by creating new business park and service commercial space which will further the General Plan Land Use Element goals and which will provide additional sales tax revenues for the City that the City can use to provide services to the community; c. The project will provide for a significant expansion to the City’s open space reserve, with the intent of securing open space for recreational uses, habitat restoration, and viewshed preservation on land that is contiguous to other such open space areas. 6. The development project will help finance improvements to key circulation features including the widening of Tank Farm Road, aesthetic improvements to the Tank Farm corridor, the incorporation of important bicycle and pedestrian linkages, the connection of Tank Farm Road to the future extension of Prado Road and the re-alignment of Santa Fe Road south to correct hazardous road features. The City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo hereby determines that the specific overriding economic, legal, social, technological, and other benefits of the proposed project described above outweigh the potential unavoidable adverse effects on the environment, and that the unavoidable adverse effects are therefore acceptable based on the overriding considerations listed above. PH2-344 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 7 IMPACT ANALYSIS: Four categories of impacts are identified: Class I. Class I impacts are significant and unavoidable. To approve a project resulting in Class I impacts, the CEQA Guidelines require decision makers to make findings of overriding consideration that "... specific legal, technological, economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the EIR..." Class II. Class II impacts are significant but can be mitigated to a level of insignificance by measures identified in this EIR and the project description. When approving a project with Class IT impacts, the decision-makers must make findings that changes or alternatives to the project have been incorporated that reduce the impacts to a less than significant level. Class III. Class III impacts are adverse but not significant. Class IV. Beneficial impacts. VII. Potential Environmental Effects Which Are Not Significant or Beneficial The City Council has concluded that the following effects are not considered significant. Air Quality Impact AQ.5 Construction activities associated with the City Development Plan would generate emissions that exceed SLOAPCD thresholds. Mitigation Fugitive dust mitigation measures (see impact AQ.2) would be applicable to this phase of the Project as per SLOAPCD requirements. AQ-2a Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall provide satisfactory evidence that a SLOAPCD-approved Construction Activity Management Plan (CAMP) has been prepared that addresses fugitive dust emissions. The Plan shall include requirements in the SLOAPCD CEQA Handbook. Fugitive dust mitigation measures in the plan shall include a combination of the following, as approved by the SLOAPCD: a. Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible. b. Use of water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site. An adequate water supply source must be identified. Increased watering frequency would be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non - potable) water should be used whenever possible. c. All dirt stockpile areas should be sprayed daily as needed, covered, or a SLOAPCD-approved alternative method will be used. (90 percent reduction). d. Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved Project revegetation and landscape plans should be implemented as soon as possible following completion of any soil disturbing activities. PH2-345 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 8 Air Quality e. Exposed ground areas that will be reworked at dates greater than one month after initial grading should be sown with a fast-germinating non- invasive grass seed and watered until vegetation is established, unless other dust and erosion control measures are specified in the agency- approved Dust Control Plan. f. All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation should be stabilized using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the SLOAPCD. g. All roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. to be paved should be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used. h. Vehicle speed for all construction vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site. i. All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or should maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114. j. Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site. k. Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where feasible l. Apply water every 3 hours to disturbed areas within the construction site (61 percent reduction in particulate emissions). m. Application of soil binders to dirt roads shall be applied to achieve at least an 80 percent reduction in fugitive dust emissions. All soil binders used shall be ‘environmentally friendly’ and shall be either lignosulfonate- or calcium lignosulfonate-based approved by the SLOAPCD. All dust control methods, including soil binders, shall be demonstrated in the fugitive dust control plan to ensure compliance with SLOAPCD Rule 401. n. All roadway, driveway, and sidewalk paving should be completed as soon as possible. In addition, building pads should be laid as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used. o. The contractor or builder shall designate a person to monitor the fugitive dust emissions and oversee mitigation measure implementation as per SLOAPCD approval to minimize dust complaints, reduce visible emissions to less than 20 percent opacity, and to prevent transport of dust off-site. The designated monitor shall carry out these duties on regular workdays, as well as holidays and weekends when work may not be in progress. The name and telephone number of the designated monitor shall be provided to the SLOAPCD Compliance Division prior PH2-346 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 9 Air Quality to the start of any grading, earthwork, or demolition. AQ-2b Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall submit an APCD approved Construction Activity Monitoring P lan (CAMP), which shall include, but not be limited to the following elements: a. A Dust Control Management Plan that encompasses all, but is not limited to, measures associated with impact AQ.1 and AQ.2; b. Tabulation of on- and off-road construction equipment information (e.g., make, model, type, engine tier, DPM Level 3 filter age, horse- power, and miles or hours of operation); c. Construction truck trips scheduled during non -peak hours to reduce peak-hour emissions; d. Limited construction work-day period, if necessary; and e. Phase construction activities, if appropriate. AQ-2c Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall implement the following idle-restricting measures for both on- and off-road equipment during the Project grading and construction phase near sensitive receptors: a. Staging and queuing areas shall not be located within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors or applicable measures shall be employed as per the direction of the SLOCAPCD, including monitoring or low-particulate engine technologies. No staging, queuing or idling within 1,000 feet of the recreational fields when in use; b. Diesel idling within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors is not permitted or applicable measures shall be employed as per the direction of the SLOCAPCD, including monitoring or low-particulate engine technologies. No staging, queuing or idling within 1,000 feet of the recreational fields when in use; c. Use alternative fueled equipment whenever possible; and d. Signs identifying the no idling requirements must be posted and enforced at the construction site. AQ-2d Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall implement the following idle-restricting measures for on-road vehicles during the grading and construction phase of the Project: a. a. Section 2485 of Title 13, the California Code of Regulations limits diesel-fueled commercial motor vehicles that operate in the State of California with gross vehicular weight ratings of greater than 10,000 pounds and licensed for operation on highways. It applies to California and non-California based vehicles. In general, the regulation specifies that drivers of these vehicles: - Shall not idle the vehicle’s primary diesel engine for more than 5 minutes at any location, except as noted in Subsection (d) of the PH2-347 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 10 Air Quality regulation; and, - Shall not operate a diesel-fueled auxiliary power system (APS) to power a heater, air conditioner, or any ancillary equipment on that vehicle during sleeping or resting in a sleeper berth for greater than 5 minutes at any location when within 100 feet of a restricted area, except as noted in Subsection (d) of the regulation. b. b. Signs shall be posted in the designated queuing areas and job sites to remind on-road equipment operators of the 5-minute idling limit. AQ-2e Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall implement the following idle restricting measures for off-road vehicles during the construction phase of the Project: a. Off-road diesel equipment shall comply with the 5-minute idling restriction identified in Section 2449(d)(3) of the CARB In-Use off- Road Diesel regulation: www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2007/ordiesl07/frooal.pdf. b. Signs shall be posted in the designated queuing areas and job sites to remind off-road equipment operators of the 5-minute idling limit. AQ-2f Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall submit a geologic evaluation under the CARB Air Toxics Control Measure (ATCM) for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations, to determine if Naturally Occurring Asbestos (NOA) is present within the area that will be disturbed. NOA has been identified as a toxic air contaminant by the CARB. If NOA is not present, an exemption request must be filed with the District. If NOA is found at the site, the Applicant must 1) comply with all requirements outlined in the Asbestos ATCM. This may include development of an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan and an Asbestos Health and Safety Program for approval by the SLOAPCD; 2) require that any crushing operations do not result in any dust that is visible crossing the property line, does not discharge into the air any visible emissions other than uncombined water vapor, for a period aggregating more than three minutes in any one hour which are 50 percent as dark or darker in shade as that designated as number one on the Ringlemann Chart or exceed at 10 % opacity; and 3) conduct a geological evaluation prior to any grading. Technical Appendix 4.4 of the SLOAPCD CEQA Handbook includes a map of zones throughout the County where NOA has been found. More information on NOA is available at http://www.slocleanair.org/business/asbestos.php. AQ-2g Prior to issuance of demolition permits, the Applicant shall comply with asbestos containing material (ACM) requirements. Demolition activities can have potential negative air quality impacts, including issues surrounding proper handling, demolition, and disposal of ACM. ACM could be encountered during demolition or remodeling of existing buildings. Asbestos can also be found in utility pipes and pipelines (transite pipes or insulation on pipes). If utility pipelines are scheduled for removal or relocation or a building(s) is PH2-348 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 11 Air Quality proposed to be removed or renovated, various regulatory requirements may apply, including the requirements stipulated in the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40CFR61, Subpart M - asbestos NESHAP). These requirements include but are not limited to: (1) notification to the SLOAPCD; (2) an asbestos survey conducted by a Certified Asbestos Inspector; and (3) applicable removal and disposal requirements of identified ACM. More information on asbestos is available at http://www.slocleanair.org/business/asbestos.php. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Emissions exceed the SLOAPCD thresholds for the peak day ROG+NOx emission levels. However, as the construction activity would last for more than 90 days (anticipated lasting for 2-3 years), the daily thresholds would not apply (as per the SLOAPCD Handbook). All other thresholds would not be exceeded by the development phase construction activities. Impact AQ.9 Operational activities associated with the City Development Plan would generate CO emissions that produce localized CO Hot Spots. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Increased trips associated with the vehicles at area intersections would emit CO emissions that could cause localized concentrations of CO to exceed the air standards. An assessment was conducted utilizing the CALINE4 model at all intersections tha t would exceed an LOS D during the build-out plus Project phase. Eleven intersections were assessed and the greatest increase in CO emissions would be less than 1 ppm. The CO levels ranged from 4.0 ppm to 5.0 ppm 1-hour results and from 3.4 to 4.0 ppm for the 8-hour results. These levels are below the standards of 20 ppm and 9 ppm for the 1-hour and 8-hour respectively. Impact AQ.10 Operational activities associated with the City Development Plan would generate diesel PM emissions that produce localized, elevated cancer impacts. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Increased trips associated with the City Development Plan would increase diesel particulate emissions (DPM) associated with diesel trucks near area intersections and roadways that could cause localized concentrations of DPM to elevate cancer risks. The City Development Plan would generate over 1,300 trucks per day on area roadways, with over 300 daily trips of heavy trucks. The diesel emissions from these trucks and their impacts were assessed using EMFAC2011 and AERMOD modeling of the intersections and PH2-349 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 12 Air Quality roadways with highest levels of Project truck trips (Tank Farm Road/Broad Street and Tank Farm Road/Higuera Road). A receptor grid at 25 meter spacing was used to define receptors outside of 30 meters from the roadway centerline to a distance of 1,000 meters. Evaluation of roadway segments and intersections found that the City Development Plan resulted in a highest cancer risk of 5.8 cancer cases per million located immediately adjacent to the Tank Farm Road and Higuera Street intersection, which would be below the SLOAPCD significance criteria. Transportation and Circulation Impact T.2 The addition of traffic generated by the Project would cause one intersection to operate at unacceptable levels under Existing plus Project conditions. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: To assess impacts associated with Existing plus Project conditions, Project impacts were analyzed as if the Project were constructed and operating today. Significant impacts associated with existing conditions with the Project traffic levels could occur at Broad Street and Tank Farm Road. The addition of Phase 1 Project traffic during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours would worsen operations from LOS D to LOS E. The design and installation of a second eastbound left turn lane would improve operations to a LOS D during both time periods. A second eastbound left turn l ane was recently completed by the City using Airport Area Impact Fees as part of a major improvement project at this intersection. The Project would pay into the City Airport Area Impact Fee account as part of the City Development Plan. With the recently completed second eastbound left hand turn lane the Broad Street and Tank Farm Road intersection would operate at an LOS of D during both time periods, which would make the impact less than significant. Water Resources Impact WR.6 Paving and development could result in changes to surface water flows thereby increasing surface water runoff from the Project Site. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: With the City Development Plan, stormwater draining from approximately 48 acres of land will be collected into catch basins and storm drains and routed into the North Marsh Area. Paving the eastern development area would substantially increase runoff. However, the detention and sedimentation pond, discussed under the remediation aspect of the Project, would be engineered to accommodate this volume and flow rate. In accordance with RWQCB and AASP development requirements, the detention basin would PH2-350 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 13 Water Resources supplement other proposed best management practices, such as the vegetated swale along Tank Farm Road and the lot-level stormwater infrastructure (e.g., catch basin trash and oil/water separators) that would be designed during implementation of the City Development Plan. As part of the City Development Plan on the eastern part of the site just north of Tank Farm Road, a new detention/sedimentation basin would be constructed for the treatment of runoff before discharging to the existing isolated on-site ponds. The added runoff is a direct result of paving and other impermeable surfaces that coincide with development activities and a slightly larger catchment area generated as a result of developmental grading. None of the stormwater from this area would be discharged off-site. The remaining development east of the Santa Fe Road extension would drain via sheet flow to Acacia Creek. The runoff from this area would be greatly reduced. Runoff is expected to discharge to Acacia Creek via sheet flow at a rate of approximately 3.5 and 9.5 cubic feet per second for the 2-year and 100-year storms, respectively. These volumes and flow rates are insignificant compared to those for Acacia Creek. Based upon the discussion above, surface water runoff impact from the City Development Plan component of the Project would be less than significant. Impact WR.7 Flooding of development structures or redirection of flood flows could occur if buildings are built within the 100-year flood plain. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: A number of the proposed grading activities would serve to change the area of the site that would be within the 100-year flood plain. The Applicant in conjunction with the Lead Agency would be required to obtain a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and a letter of Map Revision (LOMR) from the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). These documents would change the 100-year flood zone maps for the Project Site. None of the development areas would be within the 100-year flood plain. Wastewater Impact WW.2 The wastewater generated from the City Development Plan component of the Project would exceed the design capacity of the City’s downstream sewer lines or the capacity of the City’s water reclamation facility. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). PH2-351 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 14 Wastewater Supportive Evidence: According to the AASP, the Specific Plan area (including the City Development Plan) has been projected to generate flows of approximately 745,000 gallons per day. Due to the fact the planned land use of the Project Site is part of the AASP, the 64,090 gallons per day of generated flow falls within the anticipated parameters. The Project would convey the generated flow to the existing wastewater sewer line running westerly down Tank Farm Road. The wastewater impacts due to the City Development Plan are anticipated to be less than significant due to existing sewer lines, pump station, and water reclamation facility are capable of handling the projected flows at build-out. The advanced planning, and incorporation into the AASP, has allowed for the projected wastewater generation from the City Development Plan to result in minimal impact to the wastewater facilities. Geological and Soil Resources Impact GR.2 Seismically induced ground shaking could damage proposed structures and infrastructure, potentially resulting in loss of property or risk to human health and safety. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: The Applicant would be required to design and construct all buildings to withstand the expected ground acceleration that may occur at the Project Site based on the California Building Code that is applicable at the time the buildings are permitted. The current California Building code requires that surface facilities, buildings, residential structures, and equipment have suitable foundations and anchoring design, surface restraints, and moment-limiting supports to withstand seismically-induced ground shaking. In addition the 2010 California Building Code, and the City of San Luis Obispo building code requires that slopes, roadways, and building pads are properly engineered. Impact GR.3 Existing uncertified fill on-site could be subject to hydroconsolidation, excessive settlement, expansive soil shrink and swell, and differential settlement and expansion, and thus could damage proposed facilities, resulting in loss of property and risks to human health and safety. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Based on site observations and previous studies, un-engineered fill has been placed across the Project Site at various locations for roads, holding ponds, and other operations. The exact locations and the horizontal and vertical limits of un-engineered fill have not been clearly discerned. The Project would have to meet all of the requirements of the City and the 2010 California Building Code as it relates to all grading activities, including the requirements for compacted engineering fill. PH2-352 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 15 Geological and Soil Resources Impact GR.6 Construction and improvement in areas lacking suitable factors of safety for existing slopes could result in gross or surficial instability, as well as earthquake-induced landslides, which could damage proposed structures and infrastructure, resulting in loss of property and risks to human health and safety. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Based on the flat topography on-site and distance from suspected landslide areas, the potential for landsliding or the failure of natural slopes to affect the Project Site is low. Noise and Vibration Impact N.4 Off-site City Development Plan related traffic would generate noise impacts to nearby areas. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Traffic levels at full build-out (after Phase 5) would increase on area streets which would in turn increase noise levels. Traffic noise levels at intersections with the proposed Project traffic are shown in Table 4.8-10. Increases in traffic would increase noise levels at 100 feet from the roadways by up to 0.5 dBA. This increase would be below the 3 dBA increase specified in the significance thresholds. Although the noise levels associated with traffic would be above the 60 dBA specified as the upper limit of transportation-related noise levels at receptors, the traffic routes would be associated with traffic along arterial roadways and would not impact residential collector streets or local streets. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact HM.7 Potential risk associated with development within the SLOCRA safety areas. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: The proposed Project would have development with Safety Areas S-1b, S- 1c. The project would be developed with an approved ACOS and CDZ specified in an approved Detailed Area Plan (the AASP). This would allow non-residential densities of 50 persons per acre in S-1b and 120 persons per acre in S-1c. The data in Table 4.11-5 of the FEIR shows that the proposed Project would be well below the allowable population densities in the ALUP. PH2-353 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 16 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact HM.9 Risk associated with land use changes and aircraft wildlife strikes and other aircraft hazards. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: It is unlikely that the proposed development would result in any substantial change in the amount of wildlife over the current baseline, but may only serve to change the species that forage at the Project Site, and the times that these species are present. The area is currently characterized by grassland, which attracts various species of birds, including birds of prey that feed on rodents. Species that have been involved in aircraft strikes include seagulls, hawks, pigeons, blackbirds, s parrows, finches, ducks, owls, American kestrels, meadowlarks and turkey vultures. Hawks are the most frequently impacted species. Subsequent to development, it is likely that opportunistic species, such as seagulls, pigeons, blackbirds, sparrows, finches, ducks, etc. would be attracted to the area, while predatory species, such as hawks, white-tailed kite, prairie falcon, northern harrier, and golden eagle (all observed at the Project Site) would be expected to decrease due to the decrease in feeding opportunities. Population and Housing Impact P/H.2 The City Development Plan may induce substantial growth in the area by proposing new businesses in the area. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: The Project would induce growth in the area by developing commercial facilities that may employ approximately 1,971 people. As stated above, th e City reports capacity for 4,200 new dwellings to be developed within the URL. Development of those proposed residential developments would provide adequate housing in the area for the new residents that may be generated by the implementation of this Project over a 20 to 25 year period. Public Services and Utilities Impact PS/U.6 Build-out of the City Development Plan land uses would create an incrementally higher demand for police protection services. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. PH2-354 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 17 Public Services and Utilities Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: As reported by the SLOPD, existing staff levels are adequate to meet the demands of the community; however, a department objective of being available 30 percent of the time is not currently being met much of the year. As service demands associated with development in the Project area increase, additional staffing resources may need to be put in place to insure that the area receives the same level of service as the rest of the community. However, the City Development Plan would not require new or physically altered governmental facilities to accommodate additional officers that may be needed in order to maintain acceptable service ratios or other performance objectives. Impact PS/U.7 Construction and operation of the City Development Plan could potentially use nonrenewable resources in a wasteful or inefficient manner. Mitigation PS/U-7a If additional electrical or natural gas energy infrastructure is required to accommodate the proposed Project, the Applicant would be required to pay a fee to PG&E or SCG respectively, to provide additional service. PS/U-7b To avoid wasteful use of gasoline or diesel fuel, construction vehicles should be left on-site for the duration of each annual active construction season (as defined by allowed construction timing by the various mitigation measures), and construction vehicles shall be turned off when not in use to avoid idling. PS/U-7c The Applicant shall comply, to the maximum extent feasible, with all adopted City policies regarding energy consumption such as: a. Incorporating cost-effective, renewable, energy resources into the Project; b. Providing passive features through site design that allows shade to reduce unwanted heat gain, thereby reducing the need to use energy for cooling; and c. Installation of energy efficient appliances, heat recovery equipment, and building energy management systems. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Both utilities report reliable service levels in the Project area, therefore, it is not expected that the development of the Project’s commercial facilities would consume energy beyond the capacity of PG&E or SCG to supply or produce. By adhering to SLO Municipal Code for energy efficiency requirements, the Project will not be in conflict with energy conservation plans, or result in the construction or operations of a project that would use non-renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. Impact PS/U.8 Construction and operation of the City Development Plan could generate significant amounts of solid waste. Mitigation PS/U-8a Pursuant to the City of San Luis Obispo’s Ordinance 1381, Chapter PH2-355 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 18 Public Services and Utilities 8.05, a Recycling Plan for the City Development Plan to be implemented during construction shall be submitted for approval by the City of San Luis Obispo Utilities Department, prior to building permit issuance. Throughout construction periods, documentation shall be provided to the City Utilities Department demonstrating compliance with the plan and the City’s Ordinance 1381. The plan shall include strategies to increase recycling of construction materials, and documentation that a minimum of 50 percent of discarded construction materials are diverted from landfills. The plan may consist of the following information: a. The name and contact information of who will be responsible for implementing the recycling plan. b. A brief description of the proposed Project wastes to be generated, including types and estimated quantities of each material to be salvaged, reused, or recycled during the construction phase of this Project. c. Waste sorting/recycling and/or collection areas shall be clearly indicated on the Site Map. d. A description of the means of transportation and destination of recyclable materials and waste, and a description of where recyclable materials and waste will be sorted (whether materials will be site- separated and hauled to designated recycling or landfill facilities, or whether mixed materials will be removed from the site to be processed at a mixed waste sorting facility). e. The name of the landfill(s) where trash will be disposed of and a projected amount of material that will be landfilled. f. A description of meetings to be held between Applicant and contractor to ensure compliance with the recycling plan. g. A contingency plan shall identify an alternate location to recycle and/or stockpile construction debris in the event of local recycling facilities becoming unable to accept material (for example: all local recycling facilities reaching the maximum tons per day due to a time period of unusually large volume). h. Ongoing documentation by the Contractor submitted with each Building/Zoning Inspection reporting on a quarterly basis. i. Disposal information including quantity of material landfilled, which landfill was used, total landfill tipping fees paid, and copies of weight tickets, manifests, receipts, and invoices. j. Recycle information including quantity of material recycles, receiving party, and copies of weight tickets, manifests, receipts, and invoices. k. Reuse and salvage information including quantities of salvage materials, storage locations if they are to be used on-site, or receiving party if resold/used off-site. PS/U-8b Pursuant to the City of San Luis Obispo’s Source Reduction and PH2-356 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 19 Public Services and Utilities Recycling Element to achieve a 50% reduction in solid waste as required by AB 939, the project shall provide a plan for the disposal, storage and collection of solid waste material for the project. The plan shall include provisions for adequate recycling bin capacity as well as timely collection of recyclables. The development of the plan shall be coordinated with the City’s franchised solid waste collection and disposal firm, San Luis Obispo Garbage. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Cold Canyon Landfill has capacity until approximately the year 2040. Assuming that 100 percent of disposal from the City Development Plan was to be accommodated by either of these landfills, the increase in their percentage of permitted daily disposal quantities would be approximately 3 percent for the Chicago Grade facility and 3.5 percent for the Paso Robles facility. Based on the reported 2009 disposal rates, the increases would result in daily throughput percentages of 35 percent for the Chicago Grade Landfill and 23 percent for the Paso Robles Landfill. These facilities have estimated closure dates of 2042 and 2051, respectively. As such, landfills that serve the County have sufficient capacity to dispose of City Development Plan generated solid waste, which would make the solid waste impacts of this Project less than significant. Impact PS/U.9 Development of the Project could impact availability of water supplies from the City water Utility. Mitigation PS/U-9 The Development shall connect to the City’s reclaimed water system and shall use reclaimed water for landscape irrigation. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: Adequate water supply for the City Development Plan was included in the City’s Urban Water Management Plan (adopted July 21, 2011). Based on the information provided in this Water Supply Assessment and the adopted Urban Water Management Plan, the City has a sufficient water supply available to meet the water supply demand (171.4 afy) of the Project. Agriculture Impact AR.4 The City Development Plan would result in the conversion of farmland or grazing land to non-agricultural uses. Mitigation No mitigation measures are required since the impact is less than significant. Findings Impacts are considered potentially adverse but less than significant (Class III). Supportive Evidence: About 30 acres of land that is currently available for grazing would be converted to development. With the multitude of site constraints, the historical use of the Project Site, and the limited grassland that is accessible for grazing, the Project Site has only has limited and intermittent grazing for the purpose of weed control since the 1990s. Historically, the Project Site has PH2-357 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 20 Agriculture not been used for continuous cattle grazing for the purpose of raising animals. Cattle grazing could continue on the site with the development, but would have to be limited to areas outside of the restored wetland, VPFS habitat, and terrestrial areas. Given that the Project Site is only used for limited cattle grazing to control weeds, the multitude of site constraints, the historical use of the site, and the limited grassland that is accessible for grazing, the impacts of the City Development Plan on the conversion of grazing land would be less than significant. Recreation Impact REC.2 The City Development Plan would increase the City’s recreational acreage stock with 15 acres of sports fields, as well as Class I and Class II bicycle lanes, while not adding residential development. Mitigation No mitigation required. Findings Impacts are considered beneficial (Class IV). Supportive Evidence: For purposes of analyzing typical development project impacts on recreation, only residential projects are usually considered potentially impactful since employees of businesses are not expected to utilize recreational facilities as frequently or for extended periods of time as residents would. In addition, the increase in daytime population as a result of the presence of construction workers is temporary in nature. The Project would not develop any residential units and as such would not increase the use or demand for parks or other recreational opportunities, nor accelerate deterioration of such facilities. Therefore, by increasing the City’s recreational opportunities without substantially increasing the population that uses them, the Project’s effect on City recreation facilities would be benefial. VIII. Potential Significant Effects Which Have Been Mitigated to a Level of Insignificance The City Council has concluded that the mitigation measures identified in the Mitigation Monitoring Program (Section XI.) will result in substantial mitigation of the following effects and that these effects are not considered significant or they have been mitigated to a level of insignificance. Air Quality Impact AQ.6 Operational activities associated with the City Development Plan would generate ROG+NOx emissions that exceed SLOAPCD thresholds. Mitigation AQ-6a Prior to issuance of applicable construction permits, the Applicant shall implement the following mitigation measures to reduce area source emissions, where applicable. PH2-358 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 21 Air Quality a. Increase walls and attic insulation by 20 percent above what is required by the 2008 Title 24 requirements. b. Shade tree planting along southern exposures of buildings to reduce summer cooling needs. c. Shade tree planting in parking lots to reduce evaporative emissions from parked vehicles. d. Use built-in energy efficient appliances, where applicable. e. Orient buildings toward streets with convenient pedestrian and transit access. f. Use double-paned windows. g. Use low-energy parking lot and streetlights. (e.g., sodium) h. Use energy efficient interior lighting. i. Incorporate energy efficient skylights into roof plan (i.e., should meet the EPA/DOE Energy Star® rating). j. Install High efficiency or gas space heating. k. Install door sweeps and weather stripping if more efficient doors and windows are not available. AQ-6b Prior to issuance of applicable construction permits or lease agreement, the Applicant shall implement the following mitigation measures to reduce vehicle emissions. a. Locate electrical vehicle charging station(s) in the parking lots at a ratio required by County or City ordinance or as recommended by APCD. b. In coordination with the City Transit Management, provide transit demand enhancements (i.e., additional stops, shelters, phones) withi n the Project impact area to meet the increased ridership demand associated with the Project. c. Provide on-site long-and short-term bicycle parking consistent with location and design criteria established by the City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan, with installation and design guidance provided by the City’s Community Design Guidelines. One bicycle parking space for every 10 employees is considered appropriate. d. Provide shower stalls and locker facilities to encourage employees to bike or walk to work. e. The Applicant or lessee shall meet with SLOCOG’s Rideshare Program Coordinator to develop a Trip Reduction Plan to be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director and APCD. The Trip Reduction Plan shall include the following: 1) A comprehensive Transportation Demand Management program for employees. The TDM may include: (a) private vanpool operation; (b) transit and vanpool fare subsidies; (c) pay parking PH2-359 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 22 Air Quality for employees; (d) provision of subscription bus services; (e) alternative work hours; (f) capital improvements for transit services; (g) reduction of parking fees for carpools and vanpools; (h) Bikeway linkages to established bicycle routes; and (i) provision of an on-site employee transportation and rideshare coordinator. 2) Preferential carpool and vanpool parking for employees. 3) A lunch-time shuttle to reduce single occupant vehicle trips. 4) On-site facilities for eating and convenience including refrigeration, automatic banking, and other vending for employees. 5) Incentive programs, similar to the County Rideshare Transportation Choices Program, to reduce employee commute trips. Programs should be coordinated with adjacent commercial development with a goal to achieve an Average Vehicle Ridership (AVR) of 1.20 persons per vehicle or greater. 6) The Applicant shall set aside funds equivalent to three month enrollment in Rideshare’s Back ‘N’ Forth Club for 25 percent of all employees (a maximum of $52,230 for this project). This fund shall be managed by APCD through a program similar to the “Flash Pass” used for the San Luis Obispo Home Depot development. If funds are not used for this purpose, they may be used for other incentives that have been included in the approved Trip Reduction Plan. f. The Applicant shall coordinate with the City and APCD to pursue a shared use agreement to use over-supplied parking areas for a potential park-and-ride lot. The park-and-ride lot should be away from building entrances and as close as possible to the parking lot entrance nearest to Tank Farm Road or fronting street. The target number of p ark-and-ride spaces should be 25. The parking area should be identified with signage and registered with the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments as an official park-and-ride lot. g. Implement on-site circulation design elements in parking lots to reduce vehicle queuing and improve the pedestrian and bicycle environment. AQ-6c Prior to issuance of applicable construction permits, if emissions of ROG+NOx with the above mitigations still exceed the thresholds, the Applicant shall secure SLOAPCD approved off-site reductions in ROG+NOx emissions from the SLOAPCD to ensure that ROG+NOx emissions do not exceed the SLOAPCD daily and annual thresholds. AQ-6d Implement a program of periodic wet-vacuum street sweeping in coordination with APCD in order to reduce vehicle-related fugitive dust emissions. PH2-360 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 23 Air Quality Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the proposed project operational air quality impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The City Development Plan, by design, addresses a number of operational measures that could reduce emissions including in -fill development, development within ¼ mile of public transit connections, the use of bike paths, etc. Although the City Development Plan does not include residential development, some measures could be applied to reduce energy use, and thereby, reduce emissions. Title 24, for example, is applicable to all occupied buildings in California. Some measures related to LEED requirements could reduce energy use of the proposed land uses. However, the majority of emissions are associated with on-road vehicle traffic. Fugitive dust, for example, is entirely associated with on-road vehicle traffic, and 85 percent of NOx emissions are generated by on-road vehicles. As on-road vehicles are regulated by the CARB and existing regulations are in place to reduce these emissions in the coming years, there are minimal mitigation measures that could be applied to the operational phase of the Project to reduce criteria emissions, although some measures can be applied to reduce vehicle trips. Impact AQ.8 Operational and construction activities associated with the City Development Plan would generate GHG emissions that exceed SLOAPCD thresholds. Mitigation AQ-8 Prior to issuance of applicable construction permits for each phase, the Applicant shall include building efficiency improvements and/or off-site reductions in GHG emissions to ensure that GHG emissions do not exceed the SLOAPCD thresholds. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the operational and construction GHG emission impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: GHG emissions would be attributable to energy consumption (21 percent), mobile sources (23 percent), waste production and treatment creating non-biogenic and biogenic CO2 and methane (34 percent), water consumption (17 percent) and construction (1 percent). GHG emissions would exceed the SLOAPCD threshold of 1,150 metric tonnes per year. Mitigation measures would include those associated with impact AQ.6 (off-site mobile reductions), in addition to the requirement for the use of higher efficiency buildings. Similar to SLOAPCD ROG+NOx program, the GHG program is administered by the SLOAPCD and funds programs in the community which reduce GHG emissions. Biological Resources Impact BIO.8 The City Development Plan would result in permanent loss of biological functions of wetlands, native grasslands, habitats for rare plants and animals, and other biotic communities considered sensitive by federal, state, or local policies, statutes, and regulations. Mitigation BIO-8a The final restoration plan shall include criteria that would require the PH2-361 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 24 Biological Resources restoration of at least a 2:1 replacement ratio (4.14 acres as defined by Padre 2008c) of all “native grasslands” habitat permanently lost in the development elements of the project. Restored native grassland habitat shall meet standards and criteria as defined by the County of San Luis Obispo and CDFW within the proposed restoration of 45.2 acres of forb field habitat. Implementation of the terrestrial habitat restoration shall follow the plan, including locations to be restored, restoration techniques, a schedule of surveys to monitor the rate of recovery, success criteria, and remedial actions if success criteria are not met. BIO-8b The function of the restored native grassland habitats shall be monitored. A Long-Term Habitat Management and Evaluation Plan shall be developed and appended to the final restoration plan. The habitat management and evaluation plan shall include methods to determine if the restored areas are meeting success criteria per the approved restoration plan including criteria of plant and wildlife species in restored habitats and to compare such results to pre-Project conditions. The complementary plan shall include surveys to monitor the occurrence of native plants and animals in restored habitats relative to their occurrence in similar habitats prior to remediation and development. BIO-8c Hikers, pets, and bikers shall be excluded from sensitive habitats within the Project Site. The final SLO City and County-approved restoration plan shall include a fencing plan element with specific details on location, requirements of permanent and seasonal exclusion zones, and type of fencing to ensure that wildlife movement is not restricted. The fencing plan shall include information on placement of signs, educational placards, type of fencing required, method of exclusions, and monitoring and repair of exclusion devices, and shall include, at the least, a description and figure of those areas (i.e., VPFS habitat, vernal pool habitat, riparian habitat, and habitat in the process of being restored) that would require full time exclusion. BIO-8d The final restoration plan shall require a 2:1 replacement of the 3.71 acres of USACE Jurisdictional Waters/wetlands, isolated waters/wetlands, and one-parameter wetlands (for a replacement of 7.42 acres) permanently impacted by the City Development Plan. Implementation of the wetland and habitat restoration shall follow the plan, including locations to be restored, restoration techniques, a schedule of surveys to monitor the rate of recovery, success criteria, and remedial actions if success criteria are not met. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the biological functions impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Mitigation measure BIO-3a requires a 2:1 replacement of all native grassland impacted by remediation efforts of the project. The Conceptual Restoration Plan proposes mitigation for the loss of needlegrass bunch grass by including this species in the general seed species mix, outplanting over 6,500 one-gallon containers of needlegrass bunch grass, and calls for the restoration of extensive forb fields (45.2 acres, greatly exceeding the 2:1 or 3:1 replacement ratio that is typical mitigation for impacts to this habitat) with selected native grasslands in the upland portion of the restoration efforts. All of this effort, after the short term impacts of restoration, would greatly improve and enhance the overall functions of the existing native grassland community on the Project Site. MM PH2-362 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 25 Biological Resources BIO-3a also requires a 1:1 habitat replacement for a total of 42.93 acres for one-parameter wetland impacts. Loss of wetland habitat in the development phase would represent a permanent loss of this habitat. In addition to the impacts to native grasslands, sensitive plant and wildlife habitats and populations in the vicinity of the City Development Plan footprint would be exposed to construction related noises, trash, dust, and human presence throughout the duration of the construction phase which could consist of periods of disturbances lasting up to 25 years. The operation phase of the development area would also result in increased human presence, increased lighting, and new and increased usage of the roads and bike paths near plant and wildlife habitat (i.e., vernal pools, native grasslands, and fairy shrimp habitat) that are extremely sensitive to disturbances. Impact BIO.9 The City Development Plan would permanently impede migration and dispersal of upland, aquatic, and semi-aquatic wildlife species. Mitigation BIO-9a To reduce impacts to wildlife migration, the Applicant shall include in the approved final restoration plan (MM BIO-1a) landscape designs for planting of native vegetation along the northern portion of the City Development Plan area. The native vegetation landscaping shall be designed to provide wildlife species cover and refuge during migration. The landscaping shall be designed to shield migrating wildlife from human presence, noise, and lighting from residential and recreational activities in the City and County Development Plan footprint. Due to the 2 to 25 year duration of development phase, such planting shall occur on the onset of the development phase. BIO-9b To reduce cumulative impacts to wildlife migration the Applicant shall include in the final restoration plan (MM BIO-1a) a fencing plan element with specific details on location and requirements for the purpose of restricting wildlife movement through the development area but allowing movement through the open space areas. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the wildlife migration and dispersal impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The City Development Plan would result in impacts that could permanently impede migration and dispersal of upland, aquatic, and semi-aquatic wildlife species. The development would result in a permanent loss of native vegetation types in the northeastern portion of the Project Site that comprise movement and dispersal habitat to numerous wildlife species. Permanent structures, buildings, and bike paths and increased human presence in the area would reduce or eliminate the ability for wildlife species to freely move through the area. In addition, the City Development Plan on the eastern portion of the Project Site is near the riparian habitat associated with Acacia Creek and the East Fork of San Luis Obispo Creek which are expected to support a large portion of wildlife movement in the general area. The restoration of native habitats would assist in maintaining and re- establishing corridors and habitat linkages that can be used by migrating and dispersing animals. Protection measures reducing the threat of sedimentation and erosion and restoration of the East Fork of San Luis Obispo Creek would reduce the level of impacts to migratory fish. Impact The City Development Plan has the potential to reduce the size and diversity of PH2-363 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 26 Biological Resources BIO.10 plant and animal populations at the Project Site. Mitigation BIO-10 Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit the Applicant shall submit a lighting plan to the City for approval. All Project lighting shall be designed to shielded spillage of light into adjacent preserved open space areas. Any structural part of the light fixture providing this shiel ding shall be permanently affixed. Outdoor lighting for buildings shall be restricted to lights required by code for lighting building exteriors and for safety and security needs. The lighting for the ball field shall not be on during period when there are no activities at the fields. In no case shall the lights at the ball fields be on between the hours of midnight and 7:00 AM. After initial installation of Project lighting, a City-approved biologist shall conduct a field inspection to confirm that the proper lamps have been installed and that light spillage into Open Space areas has been minimized to the maximum extent feasible without compromising safety or other critical night-lighting requirements. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the plant and animal population size and diversity impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The City Development Plan would result in impacts that have the potential to reduce the size and diversity of plant and animal populations at the Project Site. The effects of construction activities would result in a permanent and total loss of the plants and wildlife that exist within the graded areas. Any permanent loss of habitat would also reduce foraging habitat for spec ies with larger home ranges. In addition, plant and wildlife populations in the vicinity of the City Development Plan footprint would be exposed to construction related noises, trash, dust, and human presence throughout the duration of the operation phase of the City Development Plan area would also result in increased human presence, increased lighting, and increased usage of the roads and bike paths near plant and wildlife habitat (i.e. vernal pools, native grasslands, and fairy shrimp habitat) that are extremely sensitive to disturbances. Mitigation that restricts public access into the sensitive habitat portions of open space areas (MM BIO-8c) would reduce some of the effects of increased human presence in natural areas. The Applicant-proposed and recommended Restoration Plan (MM BIO-1a) would restore, enhance, and increase functions for existing plant and wildlife habitats on the Project Site. Transportation and Circulation Impact T.3 Impacts to the City’s transit system could result due to increased ridership generated by the Project, impacts to bicycle and pedestrian facilities could result from network discontinuities and unsafe crossings; impacts to site access and on-site circulation could result from queue spillback and the creation of additional conflict points. Mitigation T-3a Site Access (Northeastern Parcel): Tank Farm Road/Santa Fe Road: Prior to the occupancy of Phase 1 buildings/development, the Applicant shall install a multi-lane roundabout at the new intersection of Tank Farm Road and northern leg of Santa Fe Road accessing the Project Site. This improvement is consistent with the intersection control in the AASP. Also the Applicant shall PH2-364 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 27 Transportation and Circulation extend the existing four lane section of Tank Farm Road thru the multilane roundabout. Transit: Prior to the occupancy of Phase 1 buildings/development, the Applicant shall install transit facilities along Tank Farm Road to the satisfaction of the City Public Works Department with direct pedestrian and bicycle connections to buildings on the Project Site. The Applicant shall also work wit h the City and SLO Transit to ensure that transit service capacity is adequate to serve the projected demand. Bicycle and Pedestrian: Prior to the occupancy of Phase 1 buildings/development, the Applicant shall, at a minimum, install the following bicycle and pedestrian facilities: 1) a continuous Class I multi-use path along the north side of Tank Farm Road, 2) City standard 6.5 foot wide Class II bike lanes on the north and south sides of Tank Farm Road between the east and west boundaries of the entire Project Site along with appropriate transitions to existing Tank Farm Road, 3) a Class I multi-use path between Tank Farm Road and the southern limits of the Project Site connecting to the ‘Avila Ranch’ development project, 4) a Class I multi-use path through the north-west portion of the property (old Chevron Collector street location) with a provision to allow construction of a City sewer connection to the lift station, and 5) a Class I multi-use path through the north-east portion of the site linking the properties to the east to the Tank Farm Road/Santa Fe Road intersection. The precise alignment of these Class I paths shall be subject to the approval of the Community Development and Public Works Directors. T-3b Site Access (Northwestern Parcel): Prior to the occupancy of Phase 1 buildings/ development, the Applicant shall redesign its major access to the northwestern parcel so that it is consolidated with adjacent parcels to minimize the potential for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian conflicts and to pr event a break in the median on Tank Farm Road. The recommended consolidated access point is proposed as a part of Tentative Tract Map 3009 and would require coordination with other property owners. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and site access/on-site circulation impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Bicycle Analysis - The Project proposes the several changes to the planned bicycle facilities within or along the Project site, including but not limited to, 1) Instead of a Class I bike path on both sides of Tank Farm Road (per #1 above), the Project would construct a single 12-foot multi-use path in a 20- foot easement on the north side of Tank Farm Road; and, 2) The Project would not construct the Class I bike path connecting Tank Farm Road to Buckley Road along Tank Farm Creek. These inconsistencies with the City’s Bike Plan could result in a discontinuous bicycle network and the potential for uncontrolled crossings of Tank Farm Road, which are potentially significant impacts. Pedestrian Analysis - While detailed site plans are not available at this time, the preliminary plans provide typical public street cross-sections illustrating the planned pedestrian facilities within the developed portions of the site. The Project would provide sidewalks along both sides of all public roads PH2-365 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 28 Transportation and Circulation on the site, including Roads A, B, and C, Santa Fe Road, and Tank Farm Road. Most sidewalks would be separated from the roadway by a planter area and, in some cases, a parking lane. In addition to sidewalks, the planned Class I bike paths adjacent to Tank Farm Road, Prado Road, and along the East Fork of San Luis Obispo and Acacia creeks would also serve pedestrians, so inconsistencies with the BTP could result in a discontinuous pedestrian network and the potential for uncontrolled crossings of Tank Farm Road, which are potentially significant impacts. Site Access - Vehicular site access to the northeastern portion of the Project Site from the south is proposed via Santa Fe Road, and a driveway on Tank Farm Road serving the northwestern parcel of the Project Site. Once complete, the Prado Road extension will provide an additional route to access the northeastern portion of the Project Site from the north via Santa Fe Road. The following potential impacts related to site access have been identified: 1) Tank Farm Road/Santa Fe Road: Under Existing plus Project conditions during the a.m. peak hour, the eastbound left turn movement would exceed the storage capacity of the turn pocket and spill back on to Tank Farm Road, which could create a potentially unsafe situation. The 95th percentile queues are projected to exceed 350 feet, thereby blocking through traffic; and 2) Tank Farm Road/Northwestern Parcel Driveways: Two driveways are proposed on Tank Farm Road at the northwestern parcel (i.e., an eastern and a western driveway which are approximately 200 feet apart). The eastern driveway would be a right in/right out only access point and the western driveway would permit all turning movements. The northwestern parcel would generate its highest level of traffic during the p.m. peak hour, with 31 vehicles entering and 59 exiting. The western full-access driveway would be located less than 200 feet from other driveways to the east (i.e., the “eastern driveway” referenced above) and west (off of the Project Site). This full access driveway would require a median break, which conflicts with the AASP plans for the Tank Farm Road cross-section. Given the proximity of adjacent driveways and the amount and speed of traffic on Tank Farm Road, in order to maintain roadway capacity and reduce safety concerns, it is recommended that left-turn access to the northwestern parcel be consolidated into one location only with adjacent parcels to minimize the potential for vehicular conflicts. One potential consolidated access point is proposed in Tentative Tract Map 3009, and would require coordination with nearby property owners. On-site Circulation - Detailed plans showing on-site circulation have not yet been prepared. If improperly designed, site access and internal circulation could result in hazardous conditions for cyclists, pedestrians, and transit users. This is a potentially significant impact. Parking - Parking for each of the components of the Project would be based upon what is required by code. Adequate code required parking for the components of the Project would need to be verified upon application for building permits. No parking impacts are anticipated with this Project. Impact T.4 The proposed construction phasing plan would disrupt vehicle and bicycle travel for an extended duration, and the proposed truck routes are inconsistent with the City’s Circulation Element. Construction activities related to the Project could result in potentially significant impacts to roadways in the Project vicinity due to the potential obstruction of heavy vehicles. Mitigation T-4 Prior to issuance of applicable construction permit, the Applicant shall submit a construction traffic management plan that includes a revised phasing plan Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, construction-phase vehicle and bicycle impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). PH2-366 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 29 Transportation and Circulation Supportive Evidence: Truck Routes - The City’s truck routes, which include Tank Farm Road, South Higuera Street, Prado Road, and U.S. Highway 101. The truck route for transporting materials to and from destinations to the south on U.S. Highway 101 is proposed via either the Los Osos Valley Road interchange or the South Higuera Street interchange. Access to and from destinations to the north on U.S. Highway 101 is proposed via either the Los Osos Valley Road interchange or the Prado Road on-ramp. Site access would be provided via a single access point on Tank Farm Road controlled by a temporary traffic signal. The City's truck route map and on-street signage indicate that Los Osos Valley Road is not a truck route. The Project's truck routes are therefore inconsistent with the City's Circulation Element. Construction Traffic - An estimated 1,624 total truck round trips per phase of the Project would be required for the delivery of construction materials and equipment, with a peak intensity of 110 daily truck round trips. Approximately 150 employees would work on site, resulting in approximately 150 daily round trips. The Project's infrastructure phasing plan shows that the construction of frontage and surface improvements to Tank Farm Road are planned to occur in a discontinuous manner over the first four phases. Similarly, the Class I bike path along Tank Farm Road would be constructed piece by piece, and would not be continuous until Phase 5 of the Project is complete. This phasing plan would result in persistent construction activities throughout the development of the Project, and would require many redundant truck trips as staging and equipment delivery would have to occur as each phase's infrastructure improvements are constructed. This level of construction would substantially disrupt vehicle and bicycle travel. Geological and Soil Resources Impact GR.4 Construction activities and grading may cause erosion-induced siltation of nearby waterways as a result of ground disturbing activities. Mitigation GR-4a Prior to the issuance of the applicable building permit, the Applicant shall prepare a construction Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD) certified professional for the development Project for review and approval by the City. The plan shall include features meeting the construction activities best management practices and the applicable provisions of the erosion and sediment control best management practices (ESC-1 through ESC-56) published in the California Storm Water Best Management Practice Handbooks (Construction Activity) and best management practices (CD-4(2)) of the Caltrans Storm Water Quality Handbooks, Construction Contractor's Guide and Specifications, to ensure that every construction site meets the requirements of the regulations during the time of construction. Further, the plan shall ensure compliance with and enrollment under the State Water Board General Construction Permit. GR-4b Prior to the issuance of the applicable building permit, the Applicant shall prepare an Erosion Control Plan and Wet Weather Plan for review and approval by the City of San Luis Obispo. The plan shall detail the best management practices that will be used on the site to control erosion and sedimentation to be implemented during all development activities. The plan shall include at least the following measures unless other erosion control measures are specified in the agency approved SWPPP: PH2-367 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 30 Geological and Soil Resources a. Graded areas shall be stabilized with riprap (i.e., crushed stone) or other ground cover as soon as grading is completed. The surface of slopes shall be roughened during the construction period to retain water, increase infiltration, and facilitate establishing vegetation. Tracked machinery shall be operated up and down (parallel with) slopes to leave horizontal (perpendicular) depressions in the soil, which run across the slope, on the contour. b. Slope breaks, such as diversions, benches, or contour furrows shall be constructed to reduce the length of cut- and fill-slopes, thus limiting sheet and rill erosion and preventing gully erosion. c. Sediment barriers shall be used around construction areas to retain soil particles on-site and reduce surface runoff velocities during rainfall events. Sediment barriers could include straw bales, silt fences, and gravel and earth berms. Silt fences shall be installed per specification on slope contours in areas where shallow overland flow is anticipated. d. Temporary and permanent drainages shall be employed, as necessary, to reduce slope erosion and prevent damage to construction areas. Sheet flow across or toward a disturbed area shall be intercepted and conveyed to a low to moderate gradient (1 to 5 percent slope) sediment basin, erosion-resistant drainage channel, or a level, well-vegetated area. Drainages would include swales, diversion dikes, and slope drains. e. Water bars, rolling dips, and out-sloping roads shall be constructed as part of new road construction to disperse runoff and reduce the erosive forces associated with concentrated flows. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, erosion-induced siltation of nearby waterways impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Grading and building activities associated with the development may cause an increased potential for short-term erosion and sedimentation of local and nearby drainages. Water and wind erosion of the stockpiles and loose dirt could impact surface water run-off. Sedimentation into local creeks would be a potentially significant impact. State and County requirements shall be implemented throughout construction, reducing the potential for off-site sedimentation. The Applicant would be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) by/for the Central Coast Regional Water Control Board. Impact GR.5 Moderately expansive soils prone to swelling and shrinking from increased or decreased water content could damage proposed structures and infrastructure, resulting in loss of property and risks to human health and safety. Mitigation GR-5a Expansive soils should be mitigated by the over-excavation and replacement of non-expansive soils for all buildings and structures, as approved by the City of San Luis Obispo. Alternatively, all construction for buildings shall use thickened slabs, extended slab edges, and additional reinforcement to reduce negative impacts from any expansive soil movement. Several equivalent PH2-368 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 31 Geological and Soil Resources remedial measures may be implemented that are standard construction and mitigation measures. In addition, capillary breaks shall be used under slabs to address the potential for moisture transport and pumping that leads to moisture infiltration as a result of heat and moisture gradients where buildings are sensitive to moisture infiltration. All remedial measures, designs, and calculations shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer, and shall be reviewed and approved by the City prior to issuance of the applicable building permits. GR-5b The Applicant shall use low- to non-expansive soils for slab, trench backfill, and pavement support to eliminate risk, which can be accommodated by importing select materials. Select grading techniques could utilize the granular soils on-site for subsequent use. Alternatively, an equivalent remedial measure to mitigate expansive soils may be implemented where the appropriate design and calculations prepared by a registered civil engineer, demonstrate a suitable design, and have been reviewed and approved by the City prior to issuance of the applicable building permits. GR-5c Soils shall be properly compacted as specified by a registered civil engineer. The registered civil engineer should also specify the appropriate soil - water content for expansive soil mitigation. The compaction levels and soil- water content shall be approved by the City prior to issuance of the applicable building permit. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, impacts related to shrinking and swelling the ground and damage to buildings impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The on-site soils consist of interlayers of sand, silt and clay. The clay layers present a potential for moderate expansivity, though laboratory soils testing will be necessary during the development phase to determine the magnitude of the expansion potential. Expansive soils can heave foundations and slabs. These adverse effects could damage or cause catastrophic failure to structures and components, which could result in a significant impact. Foundations for structures and slabs constructed on expansive soils require special design considerations to mitigate the hazard. Impact GR.7 Compressible soils that underlie the site will be prone to excessive settlement that could adversely affect the proposed development and improvements. Mitigation GR-7 Prior to the issuance of the applicable building permit, the Applicant shall have a registered civil engineer prepare a geotechnical report based on the proposed development to the magnitude of total and differential settlements and time rates for waiting during construction. The report shall be submitted to the City for review and approval. The report shall discuss the measures that have been taken to ensure that the primary settlement is within acceptable limits for the proposed development. Acceptable measures could include but are not limited to: a. Surcharging the proposed building sites with fill for a specified time frame. Settlement monuments shall be required to measure the total PH2-369 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 32 Geological and Soil Resources settlement. The results of the survey shall be presented to the City for review and approval and should include time rate plots to demonstrate that at least 90 percent (t90) of the primary settlement (or as determined necessary) has occurred before any further construction of structures in the area. b. Partial or complete over-excavation of the clay layers and replacement with gravel drain layer and engineered fill. Settlement monuments shall be required to measure the total settlement. The results of the survey shall be presented to the City for review and approval and should include time rate plots to demonstrate that at least 90 percent (t90) of the primary settlement (or as determined necessary) has occurred before any further construction of structures in the area. c. Support structures on deepened foundations that extend thru the soft or unsuitable layers and derive support from suitable materials. Where necessary, the piles shall be required to be designed to withstand negative friction as necessary. Various foundations schemes will require specific design criteria, but are typical to these types of mitigation measures and should follow custom and practice in the industry. d. Perform in-situ remedial measures, such as sand drains, to accelerate and mitigate the anticipated settlements. Various schemes will require specific design criteria, but are typical to these types of mitigation measures and should follow custom and practice in the industry. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, impacts compressive soils and settlement would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Consolidation tests performed on the site identified that the site is underlain by normally to low pressure over-consolidated clay layers. Depending on grading, building location, and other factors, settlements may be on the order of 1 to 4 inches. No time- rates calculations or information to assess was provided in the report to determine waiting periods. This order of settlement poses the potential to damage remediation areas, buildings, pipelines and roadways and render them unusable, resulting in a hazard to public health and safety. Excessive settlement would pose a significant hazard to the Project Noise and Vibration Impact N.3 Construction activities associated with the construction of the City Development Plan could increase noise levels in the area. Mitigation N.3 Implement mitigation measures N-1a, N-1b, and N-1c. N-1a Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, the Applicant shall ensure that the crushing plant is located at least 1,500 feet away from any residential receptor or an equivalent distance or is treated with some other form of acoustical mitigation (e.g., located within an enclosure) to ensure noise levels at the closest residential receptor are below 60 dBA. The location of the PH2-370 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 33 Noise and Vibration crushing plant shall be identified on the site plan for the grading permit. If noise reducing measures are applied instead of increased distances, vibration calculations shall be performed to demonstrate that vibration impacts would remain below the applicable thresholds. N-1b The Applicant shall ensure that all construction activity at the Project Site (including deliveries and arriving and departing workers) is limited to the hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and prohibit activities on Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. If activities outside this timeframe occur, noise monitoring shall be established to demonstrate that applicable noise codes are not exceeded. This shall be a note placed on all construction plans. N-1c Prior to issuance of applicable grading permit, and throughout construction, the Applicant shall ensure that all construction machin ery is maintained according to the manufacturers’ specifications and ensure that mufflers and silencers are maintained properly. Back-up OSHA noise indicators shall be ambient sensitive and self-adjusting to minimize backup indicator noise or flaggers shall be used in the place of backup alarms (as allowed by OSHA). Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, construction-related increases in noise levels would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Noise would be generated by a number of different construction equipment operating at different times during the construction phase of the Project. The peak activities that could produce the peak off-site noise levels would be associated with activities on the east end of the Project Site, such as activities during Phase 1 located immediately west of the Mobile Home park. Activities at these locations would include minor grading, building construction, and paving activities. Noise levels off-site were estimated utilizing the FHWA Roadway Construction Noise Model. Construction activities at the far east end of the Project Site north of Tank Farm Road would generate Leq noise levels at the Mobile Home park of 68.7 dBA, which would be below the intermittent, short-term allowable noise level for mobile equipment of 75 dBA during daytime hours. None of the construction activities would utilize stationary equipment. Mitigation measures N-1a, N-1b, and N-1c would still be applicable as construction equipment, if not properly maintained or operated during hours that are outside of the allowable hours in the Municipal Code, could produce significant impacts. Impact N.5 Development within the ALUP single event noise contours could cause the development to be exposed to unacceptable noise levels. Mitigation N-5 Prior to issuance of applicable construction permit, the incorporate noise reduction measures into the development design (i.e., extra insulation or thicker walls, window design) for all applicable land uses that would be located within the ALUP noise contours (Tentative Tract Map, Lot 1, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18 and portions of 6 and 14 within the 75 dBA contour and all or most of the remaining plots within the 65 dBA contour). Noise mitigation shall result in noise levels being at or below acceptable levels specified in the ALUP. Noise reduction measures shall clearly be identified with construction permit PH2-371 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 34 Noise and Vibration applications. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, single event noise impacts related to SLOCRA would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The ALUP requires mitigation for projects that propose development within the noise contours associated with the airport operations. Some portions of the Project would be potentially placed within these noise contours, specifically portions of the City Development Plan (Tentative Tract Map, Lot 1, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18 and portions of 6 and 14 within the 75 dBA contour and all or most of the remaining plots within the 65 dBA contour). Development within these areas, including offices, hotels, restaurants, would require additional attenuation built in to the construction design in order to ensure that indoor noise levels are below the ALUP standards. Aesthetics and Visual Resources Impact AE.2 The City Development Plan component of the Project would degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings. Mitigation AE-2 Prior to issuance of applicable construction permits, the Applicant shall ensure that all development projects are reviewed for consistency with the San Luis Obispo County Airport Land Use Plan, the Airport Area Specific Plan design guidelines outlined in Section 5.0 Community Design, and the City’s Community Design Guidelines as part of the City Architectural Review process. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, impacts related to degradation of the visual quality of the site and surrounding area would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: With the removal of the Flower Mound in the northeastern portion of the Project Site, subsequent grading and ultimate development of the Santa Fe Road extension and commercial services buildings, landscaping, and parking lots, the visual character of that portion of the Project Site would change from one of vacant, natural topography to one with physical development and intense use. This increasing change to the existing visual character would extend to other portions of the Project Site (west end, Tank Farm Road, and north and south sides of Tank Farm Road on the east end) as all five phases of the Project are built. The quiet, serene environment currently enjoyed at the Project Site would give way to sustained increases in vehicle and truck traffic, construction equipment, earthwork stockpiles, man-made structures, and associated lighting and glare. With respect to the area in which the Project Site is located, the issue of aesthetic impacts was reviewed during the adoption of the City’s General Plan and adoption of the AASP. The conclusion was reached within Section 9.0 of the Land Use Element/Circulation Element Update FEIR that urbanization would irreversibly change the visual character of the south end of the City from that of a low density semi - rural area to a more intensely developed, suburban area. This was classified as a significant, unavoidable impact in the Airport Margarita Area EIR. The City Development Plan, however, does include features aimed at reducing impacts to the existing visual character and quality of the Project Site and its surroundings. In general, restoration planting would be conducted throughout the Project PH2-372 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 35 Aesthetics and Visual Resources Site to maintain consistency with the native plant community structure and composition of the Project Site, removal of the power lines and power poles adjacent to project development frontage along Tank Farm Road and the removal of chain link fencing would serve to enhance the visual quality of the views along Tank Farm Road. A 14-foot wide landscaped median and the installation of a multi-use pathway/bikeway would also serve as an example of enhancements along Tank Farm Road. Over the years, the rural character of the surrounding area has been gradually encroached upon by residential, commercial and industrial development. While the Project would continue this trend, the above features would provide relief to the visual impacts generated by the Project, in addition to the substantial design standards contained in the AASP and the City and County General Plans. Implementation of these design standards would reduce the impact to the existing visually rural character of the Project Site and its surroundings. Impact AE.3 The Project would generate a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area. Mitigation AE-3 Prior to issuance of applicable construction permits, the Applicant shall submit a lighting plan and lighting operation schedule for review and approval. The lighting plan shall demonstrate that direct views of light sources are shielded from nearby residences. The lighting schedule shall describe the number, location and amounts of lights, and the proposed hours of operation for the entire property. The lighting schedule shall propose the minimum number of lights, level of illumination, and hours of operation allowed by City codes and ordinances, including the City’s Night Sky Ordinance. The approved lighting schedule shall become a required condition of the lease between the property owner and any tenant on the Project Site. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, impacts related to light and glare would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The City Development Plan for urban uses would result in an increase in daytime/nighttime light and glare, including the residences off of Prado Road and Margarita Avenue northwest of the Project Site and residences in the Hidden Hills Mobile Lodge. These increases would be the result of new lighting at service commercial, business park, and public facility uses, such as a ball field, over the course of the 25-year development schedule. Further, while the types of lighting and their exact locations are not specified at this point, the development would increase the amount of light into adjacent areas, including airport lands, as well as those residential areas identified above. Over the years, the surrounding area has been gradually encroached upon by residential, commercial and industrial development. The development would add to the existing lighting currently generated from these adjacent areas, such as the industrial subdivision to the west of the Project Site and the Damon-Garcia Sports Fields to the northeast. Lighting design features, such as shielding and a restrictive lighting schedule, could be implemented to reduce the lighting and glare impact. PH2-373 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 36 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact HM.6 Potential health risk from exposure to residual contamination following site cleanup and development. Mitigation HM-6 Prior to recordation of applicable tract map, the Applicant shall include deed restrictions on development parcels identifying specific limits on trenching activities and procedures for conducting subsurface construction activities. The Applicant shall maintain responsibility for air quality monitoring during any subsurface excavation activities. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, health risk from exposure to residual contamination impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Proposed soil caps located below areas being constructed upon would require long-term monitoring and maintenance. Institutional controls would include deed restrictions limiting land use to commercial and industrial purposes; excavation n otification requirements; a soil management plan; groundwater use restrictions in affected areas; and a vapor barrier requirement for any new buildings constructed in a particular Operation Unit, which would protect the building occupants from possible vapors from the underlying hydrocarbons. Chronic health risks for intrusive workers was considered less than significant due to limited exposure duration. However, during construction activities, such as trenching for utilities and foundations, there is some potential for short-term acute exposure to workers and damage to the containment cap. Soil caps of at least 4 feet in thickness has been proposed which is sufficient for utility installation. Trenching depths up to 10 feet could occur in some areas, but not in the areas that will utilize a soil cap. However, it is possible that intrusive workers could over-excavate in the area of the soil cap, resulting in potential acute exposure to residual contamination. Impact HM.8 Potential risk associated with the future use of acutely hazardous materials in the SLOCRA safety areas. Mitigation HM-8 The Applicant shall include deed restrictions on development parcels limiting on-site storage of AHMs to amounts less than the reportable quantities as currently defined in California Health and Safety Code §2770.5, California Accidental Release Program (CalARP) List of Substances, and California Code of Regulations §5189, Process Safety Management of Acutely H azardous Materials, Appendix A. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, risk impacts associated with the future use of acutely hazardous materials in the SLOCRA safety areas would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: Businesses associated with the future development scenario could potentially utilize chemical substances that are defined as Acutely Hazardous Materials (AHM). California Health and Safety Code §2770.5, California Accidental Release Program (CalARP) List of Substances, and California Code of Regulation s §5189, Process Safety Management of Acutely Hazardous Materials identify AHMs and reportable quantities. The PH2-374 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 37 Hazards and Hazardous Materials storage of large quantities of AHMs in SLOCRA Safety Area S-1 would have the potential to result in a significant accidental release in the event of an aircraft strike. Public Services and Utilities Impact PS/U.5 Build-out of the City Development Plan could increase demand for fire protection services. Mitigation PS/U-5a The Applicant shall deed to the City property at the Project Site that the City could use for the development of a public Fire Station. PS/U-5b Development shall only be approved when the City deems that adequate fire suppression services and facilities, consistent with adopted travel time standards, are available, or will be made available concurrent with development at the Project Site. If, at time of development it is determined that the development site is outside of adequate response time zones, feasible options to enhance emergency access to the development sites may include but are not limited to the following: a. Completion of transportation improvements that improve emergency services travel time to proposed development sites. b. Co-location of City fire services with existing Cal Fire facilities located on Broad Street c. Establishment of fire facilities within a closer proximity to the development site that meet or exceed adopted travel time standards. d. Developer/Applicant financing of other improvements that will contribute to alleviating current deficiencies as identified in the SLOFD Master Plan. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, demand to fire protection services impacts would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The City Development Plan could create increased demand for fire protection services due to structure fires, hazardous material spills associated with some of the possible commercial services land use that would be allowed by the City zoning, paramedic response, wildfire, etc. The Project Site is in a Moderate Fire Severity Zone, which means there is not a substantial wildfire hazard. The site is currently surrounded primarily by agricultural land, but the area is seeing increased levels of commercial and residential development. The Project Site also contains large wetland areas. All of these factors would reduce wildfire hazards for the Project Site. Development at the Project Site would have to meet all of the requirements of the City of San Luis Obispo Fire Standards and applicable provisions of the California Fire Code. This would include items such as installation of fire water supplies and hydrants throughout the development, building sprinklers, adequate fire department access, proper placement of street numbers, water supply capable of providing adequate fire flow, installation of fire protection systems and equipment in buildings, portable fire extinguishers, etc. PH2-375 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 38 Public Services and Utilities According to the SLOFD Master Plan, the Project Site lacks four-minute primary unit response coverage for emergency calls. The nearest City fire station is located about 2.5 miles from the Project Site. However, the City has a mutual aid agreement with CALFIRE, and the response time for CALFIRE to the Project Site is about four minutes. The nearest CALFIRE station is located about two miles from the Project Site. In the short-term, by adhering to a reciprocal agreement that advises both CALFIRE and SLOFD to each send one fire engine during a fire emergency, adequate fire-fighting resources would be provided for the Project Site. Given that the City Development Plan would occur over a 25-year period, and the fact that the SLOFD response time to the Project Site would not be consistent with the travel time standards adopted by the City in the SLOFD Master Plan, the impacts to fire protection services would be considered potentially significant. Agricultural Resources Impact AR.5 The City Development Plan would involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of farmland to non-agricultural use. Mitigation AR-5 The Applicant shall design the development for the Northwest Operations Area such that the buildings are located near the eastern edge of the parcel. This mitigation measure would not apply if the agricultural property adjacent to the Northwest Operations Area has received entitlements from the City to develop the property prior to development of the Northwest Operations Area. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, impacts related to conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses would be not significant with mitigation (Class II). Supportive Evidence: The Applicant has proposed to conduct most of the grading for the development pads as part of the remediation activities. Dust generation during the development phase of the project would be limited to the final grading. This could result in a short-term significant impact to row crop productivity. Further, there is potential after build out and operational activities commence that agricultural activities on the property adjacent to the Northwest Operations Area could create health-related and nuisance conflicts with occupants (employees and customers) in the form of pesticides, dust, odors and noise. However, in accordance with the California Civil Code “The Right To Farm Act” (Sections 3482.6 & 3482.6), this pre-existing agricultural use is not to be considered a nuisance. Therefore, the development at the Northwest Operations Area would continue to be subject to those inconveniences or discomforts arising from the adjacent agricultural operations. The potential impacts on the development could be potentially significant. PH2-376 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 39 IX. Potential Significant Unavoidable Effects for Which Sufficient Mitigation is not Feasible Air Quality Impact AQ.7 Operational activities associated with the City Development Plan would generate diesel particulate and fugitive dust emissions that exceed SLOAPCD thresholds. Mitigation AQ-7 Implement mitigation measure AQ-6b. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, the project diesel particulate and fugitive dust emission operational impacts would remain significant (Class I) due to diesel particulate and fugitive dust emissions exceeding SLOAPCD daily operational thresholds. Supportive Evidence: Emissions associated with the operational phases of City Development Plan would generate diesel particulate and fugitive dust emissions due to activities at each site that would be a function of land use, employee vehicles, and delivery of materials to each site. Operations would occur associated with each of the five phases of development and would increase cumulatively every five years associated with the five phases of development. Emissions were estimated using the CalEEMod modeling program for each phase along with the associated land uses defined in the Project Description. Each phase and land use was entered into the CalEEMod program. Inputs were utilized as described in the SLOAPCD CalEEMod information sheet. Most other inputs utilized the CalEEMod defaults. Emissions associated with each phase of the City Development Plan are tabulated individually and are shown in Table 4.1-14 and 4.1.15. Additional emissions would occur cumulatively during each phase of the City Development Plan until final build- out in 2040, which is also shown in Table 4.1-14 and 4.1.15. Transportation and Circulation Impact T.5 The addition of Project traffic would cause nine intersections and two freeway segments to operate at unacceptable levels under Cumulative conditions. Mitigation T-5a South Higuera Street and Prado Road – Prior to the occupancy of each phase of development, the Applicant shall participate in their pro -rata share of the right-of-way acquisition and intersection improvements to achieve LOS D operations. These improvements include: installation of second left turn lanes on the northbound, southbound, eastbound approaches; the addition of right turn lanes on the northbound and southbound approaches; and the addition of overlap phases on the eastbound and westbound approaches as determined by the City and the level of impact associated with the contribution of either the City or the County Development portions of the Project. This project is not included in the City’s Transportation Impact Fee program or the AASP or MASP impact fee programs. Due to its size and complexity, the City should consider amending this project into one of the City’s impact fee programs. If amended into an impact fee program, the Project shall pay impact fees in PH2-377 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 40 Transportation and Circulation accordance with the amended fee program. T-5b Los Osos Valley Road and U.S. 101 Southbound Ramps/Calle Joaquin –The Applicant shall participate in their pro-rata share of design and installation of a northbound left turn lane added to the future improvement on the Calle Joaquin approach, as determined by the City and the level of impact associated with the contribution of either the City or the County Development portions of the Project. This project is currently contained in the City’s TIF program as part of the Los Osos Valley Road Interchange Project however it will be not be constructed as part of the Interchange project currently underway. T-5c South Higuera Street and Tank Farm Road – Prior to the occupancy of Phase 1 buildings/development, the Applicant shall participate in their pro- rata share of the design and installation of a second westbound right turn lane with an overlap phase concurrent with the southbound left and a second southbound left turn lane, as determined by the City and the level of impact associated with the contribution of the City Development portions of the Project. T-5d South Higuera Street and Vachell Lane – Prior to the occupancy of each phase of development, the Applicant shall participate in their pro-rata share of the design and installation of the extension of Buckley Road to South Higuera Street. The AASP impact fee program contains part of the cost associated with the Buckley Road extension, but the impact fee program needs to be updated to reflect new project cost estimates and permitting requirements. T-5e South Higuera Street and Los Osos Valley Road – The applicant shall participate in their pro-rate share of either (1) The right-of-way acquisition, design, and installation a second southbound through lane, second southbound right-turn lane, and an eastbound right turn overlap signal phase concurrent with the northbound left turn; or (2) The extension of Buckley Road to the Los Osos Valley Road interchange (LOVR Bypass). This project is not currently in the City’s Circulation Element and is not contained in any impact fee programs established by the City or County. It is cumulative in nature and the City shall add this project into the TIF or AASP if the Circulation Element Update identifies it as an appropriate infrastructure improvement. T-5f Santa Fe Road and Tank Farm Road – Mitigation measure T-3a would also mitigate this cumulative impact. T-5g Broad Street and Tank Farm Road – Prior to the occupancy of each phase of development, the Applicant shall participate in their pro-rata share of the design and installation of a northbound right turn lane, a southbound right turn overlap phase concurrent with the eastbound left, and conversion of the westbound right turn lane to a shared through right turn lane. T-5h Broad Street and Buckley Road – Prior to the occupancy of each phase of development, the Applicant shall participate in their pro-rata share of the design and installation of a second northbound through lane and a second southbound through lane. T-5i Broad Street and Prado Road – Prior to the occupancy of each phase PH2-378 City of San Luis Obispo CEOA FINDINGS Exhibit A Chevron Tank Farm Project Page 41 Transportation and Circulation of development, the Applicant shall participate in their pro-rata share of the design and installation of a second northbound left-turn lane. Findings After implementation of mitigation measures, cumulative operational impacts at nine intersections and two freeway segments would remain significant (Class I) due to exceedance of the City’s LOS threshold and the possibility of the applicant not being able to obtain the necessary, privately owned, right-of-way to make improvements to intersections; and, due to the fact that no mitigation measures are available (specific to the improvements to U.S. Highway 101). Supportive Evidence: The FEIR analysis examined the potential impacts of the Project in the timeframe when it may actually be constructed and operational (i.e., approximately 27 years from date of approval, including the remediation phase). This scenario includes development associated with the buildout of the City's General Plan, as well as the infrastructure improvements detailed below. Future year traffic forecasts were developed using the City's Travel Demand Forecasting Model, which estimates future traffic levels resulting from the development of currently vacant parcels in the City. The following intersections have been identified as having Cumulative conditions that are potentially substandard to adopted City thresholds. Impacts from the project are cumulatively considerable and may have potentially significant impacts under Cumulative with Project traffic conditions. These locations are:  South Higuera Street and Prado Road– The addition of Project traffic creates significant traffic impacts during the a.m. and p.m. Peak Hours.  Los Osos Valley Road and Southbound U.S. Highway 101 On/Off Ramps – The addition of Project traffic creates significant traffic impacts during the a.m. and p.m. Peak Hours.  South Higuera Street and Tank Farm Road – The addition of project traffic creates significant traffic impacts during the a.m. and p.m. Peak Hours.  South Higuera Street and Vachell Lane – The addition of Project traffic creates significant traffic impacts during the a.m. and p.m. Peak Hours.  Los Osos Valley Road and South Higuera Street – The addition of Project traffic creates a significant traffic impact during the p.m. Peak Hour.  Tank Farm Road and Santa Fe Road – The addition of Project traffic creates a significant traffic impact during the p.m. Peak Hour.  Broad Street and Tank Farm Road – The addition of Project traffic creates significant traffic impacts during the a.m. and p.m. Peak Hours.  Broad Street and Buckley Road – The addition of Project traffic creates a significant traffic impact during the p.m. Peak Hour.  Prado Road and Broad Street – The addition of Project traffic creates a significant traffic impact during the a.m. peak hour. The Project would result in a significant and unavoidable impact to U.S. Highway 101, worsening unacceptable operations on both study segments. No feasible mitigation measures have been identified, and a Major Investment Study has yet to be performed identifying long term improvements necessary for U.S. Highway 101 between Los Osos Valley Road and Monterey Street off-ramps within the City of San Luis Obispo. A mobility study for the US 101 corridor is currently being conducted by SLOCOG and will review these issues. The long term impacts of this Project, as well as all other County development, remains significant and unavoidable along U.S. Highway 101.

PH2-380 ATTACHMENT 14 RESOLUTION NO. XXXX-14 A RESOLUTION OF THE SAN LUIS OBISPO CITY COUNCIL AMENDING CHAPTERS 3, 4, 6, 7 AND 8 OF THE AIRPORT AREA SPECIFIC PLAN (APPLICATION # ER, SPA 92-08) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on May 28, 2014, for the purpose of considering amendments to the Airport Area Specific Plan as part of the Chevron Tank Farm Remediation and Development project; and WHEREAS, said public hearing was for the purpose of formulating and forwarding a recommendation to the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo regarding the Specific Plan amendments; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council Amend the Airport Area Specific Plan; and WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on September 2, 2014, for the purpose of considering the amendments to the Specific Plan that respond to the Chevron Remediation and Development project; and WHEREAS, the City Council has duly considered all evidence, including the testimony of the applicant, interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff and the Planning Commission, presented at said hearing. WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: Section 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the following findings: 1. Adjustments to the Land Use plan are necessary to accommodate an amount of future commercial development that was similarly envisioned with the 2005 Airport Area Specific Plan while accommodating open space, habitat restoration, parkland and infrastructure improvements following remediation of the property. 2. The amount of land proposed for permanent open space dedication combined with a restoration plan to enhance the open space provides positive environmental enhancements that will help to offset the potential significant impacts of the proposed commercial development. 3. The proposed commercial development will provide for necessary bicycle connections in the form of class 1 pathways linking the Damon Garcia Sportsfields to Tank Farm Road Resolution “B” PH2-381 Resolution No. [ ] Page 2 and other properties, linking Tank Farm Road to Prado Road, and linking Tank Farm Road to the Avila Ranch property. These bicycle connections will encourage alternative forms of transportation thereby offsetting potential significant traffic and circulation impacts as well as air quality impacts. 4. The proposed amendments to the AASP will relocate proposed commercial areas awa y from sensitive biological habitat areas while facilitating remediation and restoration of the former tank farm property thereby enhancing the biological functions of the property. 5. The proposed amendments to the AASP will relocate proposed commercial areas and land uses away from potential airport hazards while clearly identifying airport open space zones, runway protection zones while improving physical features to enhance airport safety thereby reducing potential hazards. 6. The project will provide expansion space for existing businesses and opportunities for new businesses to locate in the City by creating new business park and service commercial space which will further the General Plan Land Use Element goals and which will provide additional sales tax revenues for the City that the City can use to provide services to the community. 7. The project will provide for a significant expansion to the City’s open space reserve, with the intent of securing open space for recreational uses, habitat restoration, and viewshed preservation on land that is contiguous to other such open space areas. 8. The development project will help finance improvements to key circulation features including the widening of Tank Farm Road, aesthetic improvements to the Tank Farm corridor, the incorporation of important bicycle and pedestrian linkages, the connection of Tank Farm Road to the future extension of Prado Road and the re-alignment of Santa Fe Road south to correct hazardous road features.
