STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 24, 1987
TO: Chairman and Members of the Redevelopment Agency
FROM: Jack Lam, AICP, Deputy Executive Director
BY: Linda D. Daniels, Senior Redevelopment Analyst
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AMENDMENT NO.
1 AND DRAFT SUPPLEMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution approving the Amended Plan and
rat opP ement to the Environmental Impact Report and authorize
staff to transmit said documents and notice of completion to
affected taxing entities and the City of Rancho Cucamonga Planning
Commmi ssi on.
BACKGROUND: At the Agency meeting of March 4, the amendment
process to the Redevelopment Plan began by the adoption of the
Preliminary Report. The purpose of the Preliminary Report was to
ideatify the proposed technical amendments and other essential
information to the affected taxing entities. The City Council, at
their March 4, 1987 meeting, called for the creation of a f'<cal
review committee and authorized staff to notify the County of this
request.
ANALYSIS: A Redevelopment Plan has been prepared by the Agency's
consu cant which reflects the proposed technical am idments and
added public impropveeent projects. In addition, some editing to
th5 Plan has been suggested by the consultant so that the Plan's
language conforms to current legislation, is applicable to the
Project Arca, and better describes the projects and policies of
the Agency. For the Agency's convenience, the changes to the Plan
are highlight.d in bold face type.
Under Community Redevelopment Law, the Planning Commission is
required to review the Redevelopment Plan Amendment No. 1 to
insure it is in compliance with the City's General Plan. Once the
Redevelopment Plan is approved by the Agency, staff will schedule
the Plan to be reviewed by the Planning Commission at their April
22, 1987 meeting. Mc

Review and Approval of Redevelopment Plan. Amendment No. 2 and
Draft Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report
March 24, 1987
Page 2
A Draft Supplement to the original Environmental Impact Report has
also been prepared by the Agency's consultant. Because the
original Environmental Impact Report addressed the projects and
content of the original Plan, this Supplement is intended to
address only the technical changes and projects which comprise the
proposed Amendment No. 1.
The Supplement was prepared in accordance with the CEQA guidelines
and does contain preliminary input from affected taxing
entities. The Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report is
required to undergo a 45 -day review period. During this time,
affected taxing entities may raise environmental impact questions
which they feel need to be addressed. Any questions or comments
received by the Agency during this review period will be answered
In the final document.
Respectfully submitted.

I. INTRODUCTION
(100) REDEVELOP)>lENT AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
(101) Authority
This Redevelopment Plan (hereinafter "Plan") for the Rancho
Redevelopment Project Amendment No. 1 was prepared by the Redevelopmeat
Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency In accordance
with the California Community Redevelopment Law, California Health and Safety
Code Section 33000 et seq., and all applicable laws and ordinances.
The basis for this Plan Is the Preliminary Plan formulated and adopted by the
Planning Commission on August 12, 1981 by Resolution No. 8193 and the
Redevelopment Plan adopted and approved by the Rancho Cucamonga City
Council on December 23,1981 by Ordinance No. 166.
(102) Pro(ectObiectives
Redevelopment is most commonly used in the cleararee of
dilapidated areas. However, the California Redevelopment Law recognizes that
blighting conditions are not limited to dilapidated buildings which,: use a serious
burden to the community and which cannot be reasonably expected to be reversed or
alleviated by private enterprise acting alone. Redevelopment has also been used to
eliminate economic blight which includes the elimination of conditions which have
led to underutilization or disuse of, or a lack of private investment in the area.
Ran.:ho Cucamonga is experiencing major physical deterrents to gmwth due, in
particular, to the existence of Inadequate Rood control public improvements, as well
as a lack of public facilities, open spaces, and utilities which cannot be remedied by
privam or governmental action without redevelopment. At the present time, the
Rancho RedevelopmentProject Area is characterized by properties which suffer from
economic dislocation, deterioration, or disuse becuuse of a prevalence of depreciated
values, impaired investments, and social and economic maladjustment due, in part,
to the existence of lots or other areas which are subject to being aubmerged by water.
It is anticipated that this Redevelopment Plan can eliminate the existing conditions
-1- 9
causing a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the Rancho Redevelopment
Project Area to the extent that it such conditions will no longer constitute a serious
physical, social, or economic burden on the economy. These conditions cannot
reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise acting
alone without redevelopment. (Sae Assessmentof Conditions Report ).
The implementation of these various redevelopment activities will be carried out in
accordance with this Redevelopment Plan which details the development standards,
the project implementation methodology and the methods of project financing.

(312) General Commercial Uses
The lack of adequate commercial uses within the Project Area
has made the City aware of the need for additional commercial locations in this area.
The commercial uses are generally located along Foothill Boulevard. Vacancies and
deteriorated structures have caused shoppers to move to newer locations to do their
shopping. Therefore, new general ccmrnercial land uses are designated for the
corner of Haven Avenue ono :%rrow Route, along Foothill Boulevard and in the
vicinity of Day Creek and Foothill Boulevard. A regional shopping center, nedto
be located in the vicinity of the Dovore Freeway/FwAyill Boulevard Interchange
anticipates adequate provision for sufficient retail commercial apace within the

meet such housing need; or
C. That a substantial effort to meet low- and moderate -income housing
needs In the community is being made, and that this effort,
-32. T�
M
Including the obligation of funds currently available for the benefit
of the community from state, local, and federal sources for lots- and
moderate - Income housing alone or In combination with the tares
allocated, under this section, Is equivalent In Impact to the funds
otherwise required to be set aside pursuant to this section. The City
Council of the City shall consider the need that can be reasonably
foreseen because of displacement of persons and families of low or
moderate Income or very low income households from within or
adjacent to the Project Area, because of increased employment
opportunities, or because of any other direct or Indirect result of
Implementation of this Plan.
The Agency may use such tax funds Inside the Project Area, or,
upon resolution ofthe Agency and the City Council that such use will be of benefit to
the Project, outside the Project Area. Unless the City Council finds before this Plan
fs adopted, that the pmvbdjn of low and moderate income housing outside the
Project Area wlll be of benefit to the Project, the Project Area shall include property
suitable for low and moderate income housing.
(606) General Method of Financing the Redevelop•aentpro tect
A. Tax Allocation Financing
The primary source of funds for financing the major public
improvements within the redevelopment project are expected to be from the issuance
of Tax Allocation Bonds. During the earlier years of the redevelopment project,
shorter term bonds or notes with terms of perhaps two to three years will be
considered for issuance based upon tax Increment revenue anticipated to be
generated from Initial developments which may be In progress and expected
developments pursuant to agreements with developers.
Construction of public improvement projects will be phased to
contspond with the availability of funds. As the development phase of the
redevelopment project progrzms, larger and longer term bonds will be Issued to
Permanently finance the major public improvements.
-33-
? As an alternative and supplementary to tax allocation bond
Q financing for the construction of public buildings, which will benefit the
} Redevelopment Project Area, the Redevelopment Agency could issue Lease revenue
V Bonds or Lease Participation backed by the CIty's agreed lease payments to the
Agency for use of the public buildings.
B. Mortgage Revenue Bonds
To facilitate the duvelopment of affordable housing and attruc•_
families with spendable income which will in turn improve the economic base of the
Redevelopment Project Area, Mortgage Revenue Bonds will be considered for
Issuance to provide below market interest rate loans for new home buyers. The
construction of new residences will further augment the tax base for Issuing the
required Tax Allocation Bonds discussed above.
C. Conduit Financing
s There are several financial mechanisms available through the
Agency which could faeilitatu and may determine the economic feasibility of
r industrial, commercial and public facilities. As they become viable given the
t
economic conditions then prevailing ,the Agency could issue We following:
x
1. Commercial Revenue Bonds - for commercial uses which are
integral to the neighborhood.
2. Industrial Development Bonds- primarily for manufacturing uses.
9. Certificates of Participation Financing
D. Federal FundingPrograms
The Agency will seek Urban Development Action Grants,
Community Development Block Grants, and Economic Development Program funds
to finance the redevelopment project in concert with the previously discussed sources
of financing.

r Amendment No. 1totheRanchoRedevelopmentProjectlsa *redevelopmentplan
amendment" to accordance with California Community Redevelopment Law. A
y redevelopment plan, unlike other plane, does notin and of itself implement any specific
land development. Actually, the plan is the vehicle through which the revitalization of
an adopted project area Is facilitated. Through the establishment of a redevelopment
`
plan, mechanisms for alleviating conditions ofbUght an d means for financing a variety
of redevelopment activities become available. The purpose of this Supplement to the
Environmental impact Report' ,AIR) Is to provide supplemental information regarding
the Rancho Redevelopment rvokct as it is proposed to be amended. The information
and analysis provided are intended to supplement the EIR prepared when the
Redevelopment Plan was originally adopted.
The Resources Agency of California has adopted amendments to the "State
CEQA Guidelines ", which reflect recent amendments to the California Environmental
i ; Quality Act (CEQA). Among the amended guidelines to the provision that "the
discussion of mitigution measures shall distinguish between re
the measures that a
s, proposed by project proponents to be included In the project, .rod other me
asnres which
am not included, but could be reasonably expected to reduce adverse Impacts" (Section
15126(c)). Therefore, all mitigation measures presented in this EfR are included inthe

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 AUTAORIZATIONANDFOCUS
This Supplement to the Environmental Impact Report on the Rancho
Redevelopment Project has been prepared for the Rancho Cucamonga
Redevelopment Agency in accordance with the "Guidelines for Implementation of
the California Environmental Quality Aet" (CEQA), as amended. The proposed
Amendment No.1 to the Rancho Redevelopment Project Is a "Project" as defined by
Sections 15180 and 16578 of the Guidelines, and is defined as "supplem:ntal " In
nature pursuant to Section 15185. These provisions stipulate that an
Environmental Impact Report must be prepared for any project that may have a
significant effect on the environment. If only minor additions or changes would be
necessary to make the previous EIR adequately apply to the project in the change&
situation, a supplement to the original r.Rt may be prepared. Such supplemental-
information may be circulated by it3elf without recirculating the previous draft or•
final EIR. Incorporated herein by reference are the "Final Environmental Impact
Report on the Rancho Redevelopment Pmject" and the "Draft Environmental Impact
Report on the Rancho Redevelopment Project ", prepared by M=isipaCServices, Ise.
In 1981
Proposed changes to the P,edevelopmcnt Plan wDl smthortze the
Redevelopment Agency to finance additional public improvements in the Prciec2
Area beyond those improvements now listed in the Plan, and.ina'eam the awnber of
tax Increment dollars that the Agency is authorized to collect from the Project Area..
Due to the lack of specificity with respect to future individual projects which msy be
implemented as a result of the redevelopment plan, potential impacts are addressed
In general terms. The ED1 addresses loth the beneficial and adverse Impacts of
Implementing the proposed RedevelopmentPlen amendment
Pursusnt to Section 15003 or the Guidelines, an Initial Study of the propused
project was prepared. The Initial Study Indicated that certain environmental effects
.1 Gd
associated with the project maybe significant. This Supplemental EIIt is fncused to
evaluate these potential environmental effects. Other environmental effects
considered in the Initial Study which were determined to be clearly insignificant
and/or unlikely to occur are not addressed In this report, in accordance with Section
16149 of the Guidelines. The complete Initial Study is attached hereto as
Appendix A.
Intent and Use
The purpose of this supplemental information Is to assist the Rancho
Cucamonga City Council and the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency, as
well as the general public in understanding the environmental effects of
implem sating the proposed amended Rdevelopment Plan. Other agencies and/or
individxals wao may utilize this report in their decision-making processes are not
taown at this time.
.Utlsaxagh adoption of the Redevelopment Plan for Atendment; L o.1 will have
no direct asvmoamemtal Impacts, its implementation, through future development
sad redevelopmmt & additional public Improvements In conformance with the
amended Redexslapasent Plan4 emd through the mltloWon of existing public

proposals have not been completely deffwmL ass a result, specific impacts from the
majority of future development and redevalopment activity within thq
rdavelopmen_ sees cannot be precisely predLctp However, the Intent of this
Supylezntnt to dhe EM is to provide a general overview mf the effects of Troject
implementation as ttls apeced to occur nncio the amended Redevelopment Plan.
This deg:ea s£apecifidtym allowed under Section 15146 ofthe CEgA Guidelines.
The Inforoselow,,gopi between general redevelopment planning pad future

improvements as contemplated by Amendment No.1 to the Redevelopment Plan be
examined in order to determine if ouch activity will require additional review } t;

1.2 BACKGROUND
The Rancho Redevelopment Project was adopt a December 23. 1981, and is
cowprfaed of approximately 8,600 acres generally encompassing the enstern portion
of the City. The Draft Envlronmcntel Impact Report on the Rancho Redevelopment
Protect was originally completed for distribution on October 12, 1981. The public
heoring was held on December 2, 1981, and the Notice of Determination was signed
on Dacembar 17, 1981. At the time of certification, it was noted that the project
would have a dlgulficant affect of the environment, and that the mitigatiou
measures Included in the Report were made a condition of the approval of the
Project All of these same mitigation measures currently apply to the original
Project, and will continue te. apply to the Project amendment as prcpo6ed.
The proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Rancho
Redevelopment Project would not add any additional area to the Project, but will
allow the Agency tho provide for additional public improvemcata In the existing
nedovelopment Project Area. As previously Identified, proposed changes to the
Redevelopment Plan trill authorize the Redevelopment Agency to finance additional
public improvement* in the Project Area beyond those Improvements now listed In
the Plae, and increase the number of tax Increment dollars that the Agency is
authorized to collect from the Project Area. These changes were found to the
.g.
,! I
necessary as original project costs were underestimated at time of Men adoption. As
plans for specific public improvements are being prepared, actual cats have been
and will continue to be higher than originally anticipated, thus making
implementation under the original financial limit difficult. In addition, the need for
improvements in the form of street improvements along Foothill Boulevard and
additional community and cultural facilities was not foreseen at the time the
original Plan was adopted.
This Supplement does not attempt to reanalyze the Impacts identified in the
original EIR under the assumption that without the proposed amendment, the
Project may not be favWble. It Is assumed that the original Project, as proposed,
would happen, although without the proposed amendment to the Redevelopment
Plan it might take longer to implement the Project and some compromises of Project
objectives could be necessary.
1.3 PROJECTPROPONEIVT
Amendment v„ 1 to the Rancho Redevelopment Project Is proposed by the
Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency (herein referred to as "the Agency"),
located at 9320 Baseline Road, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730. The Agency amsints
of five members who also serve as the Rancho Cucamonge City Council. The Agency
is empowered to prepare and implement plans for the improvement, rehabilitation
and redevelopment of blighted areas within the limits of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga. With respect toCEQA, the Rancho CucamongsRedevelnpmentAgency
is the Lead Agency. The City Council is a responsible agency.

3.0 PROJECTDESCRIPTION
3.1 LOCATIONANDBODNDARIES
fhe Rancho Redevelopment Project Is I -jested sithin the City of Rancho
Cucamonga, located in the southwestern portion of San Bernardino County. (Please
refer to Figure 1). The Project Area is made up of approximately 8,500 acres and
covers a significant portion of the eastern section of the City as shown in Figure 2.
No changes to these boundaries are contemplated by the proposed Project
amendment. All proposed amended Project activities as Identified herein will be
located within these original Project boundaries.
3.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Adoption of Amendment No. I to the Rancho Redevelopment Project will affect
the existing Redevelopment Project by:
1) allowing for the construction of new public facilities; and
2) Increasing the tax Increment revenue from the Project Area.
Proposed financial changes are deemed necessary becausa costs for epecific
project activities are much higher than originally estimated. In addition, the new
federal tar bill affecting municipal bond financing has reduced access to otherwise
available alternative financing means. However, as previously stattd, thru
+
Supplement coes not attempt to reanalyze the Impacts Identified In tho original Mt,
nor does the Supplement assume that without the proposed amendment, the Project
c may not be feasible. I: is awttmtd that the original Project would be implemented,
although implementation might take longer and some Project objectives might be

Redevelopment Plan Objectives, as identified in the Redevelopment Plan for
Amendment No. I to the Rancho Redevelopment Project are as follows:
3.3 PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The Agency will be authorized to provide certain public improvements in the
Project Area. This authorization, however, does not obligate the Agency to provide
said improvements. The timing of the construction and the ability of the Agency to
provide these facilities rests upon the availability ofrevenue and the prioritisation of
Agency projects. Future analyses to comply with JEQA for specific projects will be
prepared as details on such projects become known.
Public Improvement Projects
Foothill Boulevard hnorovementa
Aesthetic Improvements consisting of decorative paving, street furniture,
decorative signage, etc., as proposed by the Foothill Boulevard Specific Plan.
Although not yet complete, this SpecificPlan, upon adoption, is included herein
by reference.
Community Facilities
Multi- purpose community facilities located at tho future Civic Center site at
the southeast comer of Haven Avenue and Foothill Boulevard.
Cultural Facilities
Multipurpose cultural facilities located at the future 90-acre park site north of
Baseline Road at Milliken Avenue in the Terra Vista Specl Ile Plan.
In addition to the above facilities, the Agmcy Is proposing to amend Section
1292 (7 and 8) to provide for additional bridges and traffic signals. Since tho
proposed amendment to the Plan does not specifically describe the faculties or their
locations, but only contemplates that additional bridges and signal facilities would
be constructed to acccommodate future development, it will be necessary for the
Agency to undertake the appropriate environmental analyaee at a future data to
Insure that any negative environmental impacts are Identified and properly
mitigated.

4.0 OVERVIEW OF CHANGES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The environmental setting for the Project Area has been covered in the existing EIR.
Changes that have occured to such setting since the EIR was written are briefly
covered as follows:
4.1 LAND USE CHARACTER
Approximately 0,000 new homes have been developed, primarily within the
Terra Vista and the Vict,)ria Specific Plan communities along Baseline Road east of
Haven Avenue. In the industrial areas south of Foothill Boulevard a signficant
amount of light industrial development has taken place, covering approximately 40
percent of the vacant area available fordevelopment
`= 4.2 ENVIRONMENTALCHARACTER
Urbanization of the area Is taking place In accordance with the General Plan and
the Terra Vista and the Victoria Specific Plans. Impacts as discussed in the original
EIR are occurring and being mitigated as indicated In the EIR for the original
Project, the EIR on the General Plan and the respective EUVs on the Terra Vista and
the Victoria Specific Plans.
4.4 PROJECT COMPATIBILITY WITH APPLICABLE PLANS
General Plan of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
In accordance with California Community Redevelopment Law, the proposed
project is consistent with the Rancho Cucamonga General Plan.
16- ,7!!

Ah Quality Management Plan
As the CIWs general plan must be consistent with the Air Quality Management
Plan (AQMP), project consistency with the AQMP for the South Coast Air Basin can
be determined by comparing the Redevelopment Plan with the City of Rancho
Cucamonga's General Plan. As noted above, the redevelopment plan is consistent
with the General Plan, therefore the redevelopment plan is considered consistent
with the AQMP.
In fact, redevellopment is favorably viewed by the AQMP, as redevelopment
typically involves :he intensification of land uses thereby concentrating the number
of vehicle miles traveled in an area. A decrease In vehicle miles results in.a
reduction of automobile - related emissions and a relatively beneficial impact upon
air quality results.

6.1 TRAFFIC AND CIRCULATION
Existing Conditions
Foothill Boulevard is a four -lane major arterial serving the Project Area. Also
known as Highway 66, the Boulevard once served as an interstate highway prior to the
development of the federal Interstate Freeway system. Today Foothill Boulevard
carries primarily local and subregional traffic.
According to the CIty of Rancho Cucamonga Engineering Department, Traffic
DIvision, traffic on Foothill Boulevard ranges between 19,300 to $2,400 avenge daily
trips (adt). (See Table 1.) Maximum capacity along Foothill Boulevard is
approximately 38,000 adt.

analyses as the specific facility and purpose is determined and site plans prepared.
Should significant amounts of traffic be generated at these locations mitigation
measures to rlleviate negative impacts will be required.
Mitisation Measures
None required at this time.
6.2 NOISE
Existing Conditions
Noise is defined as any unwanted or excessive sound. It Is an undesirable by-
product of transportation systems and certain land uses. The full effect of noise on
individuals in the community varies with the duration of the noise, Its atansity and
frequency, and the tolerance level of those exposed. A common method of measuring
sound pressure Is in units of decibles (0). A sound level scale has been developed to
measure sound in a way similar to how a person hearing the sound responds. This scale
is called an A- weighted scale, often indicated by using the abbreviation dB(A). Table 2
shows various sources and the typical A- weighted sound levels associated with them.
For example, a quiet. urban daytime sound level is typically 60 dB(A).
State noise standards for lsnd use compatibility are typically defined through the
use of the Community Noise Equivalent Level or CNEL. Because people respond to
noise differently during the evening and nighttime hours than during daytime hours,
noise occurring during the more sensitive time periods Is generally more unacceptable.
The CNEL attempts to account for this diurnal shift in noise acceptance. A- welghted :
sound level noise events occurring during evening (7:00 p.m, to 10:00 p.m.) and
nighttime (10:00 pm. to 7:00 am.) hours arc respectively, 6 and 10 dBA, heavier than

daytime (7:00 am to 7:00 pm.) events due to increased sensitivity to noise during
those periods.
Predominant noise sources within the Project Area are transportation related.
These include major roadways such as Foothill Boulevard, Baseline Road,
Interstate -15, and rail movements on the Railroad righWf- -ways located north of
Baseline Road and north of 8th Street Other sources of noise include commercial and
industrial operations, swell as, construction activities.
Environmental Effects
As discussed in Section 6.1, Traffic and Circulation, it is unknown to what extent
any increase in traffic will occur as a result of project implementation of community or
cultural facilities. To the extent that traffic demand is increased, an Increase in
vehicular traffic noise sources will exacerbate existing noise conditions.
More significant is the potential for one or more of the proposed community or
cultural facilities to create noise impacts on surrounding land uses. However, as
previously indicated for Traffic and Circulation, should a facility be proposed that could
create significant noise Impacts at these locations, mitigation measures to alleviate
negative impacts will be required.
Construction activities resulting from Project implementation will result In short -
term increases In ambient noise levels in the vicinity of construction sites. These
activities may pose a temporary annoyance to residents, employees and retail
customers in affected areas.
Future development/redevelopment of the Project Area as proposed in the original
Redevel opmentPl an will result In the mitigation of some noise impacta. This will occur
as the replacement and/or rehabilitation of older buildings with structures meeting
newer and more stringent noise attenuation codes are developed. However, an overall
long term Incremental Increase in noise levels are anticipated from traffic increases,
which will result In an adverse unavoidable impact.
Mitfaation Messures
To mitigate the possibility of noise level increases, careful site planning and the use
of noise attenuation structures such as walls and berms should be used to protect noise
mil• C�
sensitive uses. In addition, buildings which will house uses which generate high levels
of noise should be evaluated as to the it ability to limit noise penetration to the exterior
of the building and additional Insulation or design modifications specified to mitigate
noise penetration.
The 20 percent set -aside of tax increment revenue from the Project Area allowed by
Community Redevelopment Law for thu Improvement of low. and moderate -income
housing can be used, in part, to provide housing rehabilitation including insulation for
noise attenuation where In the event that nearby low. and moderate -income housing is
adversely impacted by existing and future noise levels in the ProjectArea.
Site preparation and construction activities will be limited to daytime weekday
hours as allowed by Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code.
5.3 PUBLICSERVICES
The following information was obtained through written and/or verbal
correspondence with each service provider. Copies of written responses are provided in
Appendix B of this Report.
Existing Conditions
Fire Protection
Fire Protection services are provided by the Foothill Fire Protection District.
kStations serving the site include Station I at 6627 Amethyst Street with one three -man
engine and one two-man squad; Station U at9612 San Bernardino Road, and Station III
at 12858 Baseline Road, both with one three -man engine.
Police Protection
Police services are under contract by the City with the San Bernardino County
_.
Sheriffs Department. The current Sherrifrs station is located at 9333 9th Street,
however a new fuilitp is In the process of being constructed at the northeast corner of
Civic Center Drive and Haven Avenue.

Schools
The Project Area Is service by five different school districts. 'These include the
Central Elementary School District, the Etlwanda Elementary School District, the
Cucamonga Elementary School District, the Alta Lama Elementary School District and
the Chaffey Joint Union High School District. All of these school districts have
Identified an existing deficiency in school capacities and the need for developing new
schools to acccmodate anticipated growth within the Project Area.
Other
Other service providers affected as a result of Project implementation may be &.a
CiWs Engineering Department, Public Works division. This division provides such
services as street and community facility mainWtsnce.
Environmental Effects
Fire Protection
increases in the number of calls for emergency fire and medical aid responses will
negatively impact the level of service provided by the Foothill Fire Protection Districk
end will result in less time being available for other required activities. An Ineroase in
the number of buildings, and traffic will likely result in a corresponding increase in the
need for fire department services. Depending upon the scope of the community
facilities proposed by the Agency, the Deps -tment may be impacted by an increase in
demand from such facilities.
The Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency has entered into an agreement
with the Foothill Fire Protection District to alleviate any financial burden or detriment
caused to the District by assisting in financing the DIstrict's fire protection needs
required as a result of the Rancho Redevelopment Project, and which are of benefit to
the Rancho Redevelopment Project. Therefore, negative Lifects as a result of increased
demands on fire protection service as a result of Project implementation shouid be
alleviated.
Police Protection
Depending upon the acu v of the community facilities proposed by the Agency, the
Department may be impacted by an fncrosae in demand from each facilities. However,
because police services are contracted by the City, increases in demands on the
.23.
M
s
�f
department will result in a compensating cost increase to the City, thus counteracting
any negative effects.
During construction phases, the project could adversely impact the services that
the police department provides, particularly In relation to traffic and circulation. With
consideration of law enforcement needs during the site planning process to encourage
the design of buildings which are easy to patrol, (e.g. no cubbyholes and easy access in
case of emergencies), redevelopment will not adversely impact current police protection
services or require additional personnel.
Schools
Implementation of the Project is not expected to cause an Increase in student.
Although the Agency may set -aside as much as 20 percent of its tax increment revenue
for the improvement of the community s supply of low- and moderate - income housing,
1t is anticipated that these N ia -rill ba utilised for rebabilintion of existing housing
units and/or infrastructural t ivements to serve existing low- and moderate- income
housing. While the Plan am.,adment is not expected to directly increase student
population, the development occurring In the Project Area and the population inc -eases
resulting from such growth are a stated cause of concern for local school districts, which
are generally experiencing over capacity problems. Negotiations are currently taking
place between the Agency and the various districts to attempt to explore means by
which the Agency may assist in improving educations? services within the Project
Area.
in addition, all new residential development projects are required, as a condition
of development, to provide the City with a School Capacity Letter, which states that
adequate school capacity is available to service the estimated number of new students
generated by the residential development. Without the School Capacity Utter the City
well not approve the development pm;ecL As a further mitigation measure, major
developers -AWn the area have Planned Community Agreements with the school
districts to mitigate impacts caused by the generation of large student populations.
Such agreements require that the developer either pay fees to the sellool, build Interim
school facilities, or build permanent school faclifti es.

Mitigation Measures
Fire Protection

the location(s) and nature of construction projects so that they may avoid areas of street
disruption during response to emergencies, and also increase their patrol efforts at
construction sites.
Schools
Through recently approved state legislation (AB2926), developer fees may be

6.4 PARKS AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES
Existing Conditions
Currently, the City has 270 acres of parkland, 40 acres of which are developed,
105 acres of which are under construction and 125 acres of which are In the design
phase.
Environmental Effects
Project implementation will result In the ability of the Redevelopment Agency to
develop multi - purpose community and cultural facIlitIes. These will be planned in
accordance with community needs and the City's General Plan. Positive effects will
occur for residents of Rancho Cucamonga, and possibly for other public entities such as
school districts which are currently looked upon to provide space for recreational
activities.
Mitigation Measures
None required.
6.5 LIGHTANDGLARE
Existing Conditions
Current sources of illumination in the Project Area consist of lighting associated
with existing development, street lamps and other minor Identification lighting. There
are no existing glare impacts as a result of buildings constructed of highly reflective
materials within the Project Area.
Environmental Effects
Future illumination of new parking areas and ornamental lighting associated with
street improvements and community and cultural facilities could impact adjoining land
uses, if net properly mitigated. In addition, glare impacts may occur if highly reflective
exterior building materials an used I the construction of new development in ways
which might adversely affect nearby land uses or traffic circulation In the Project Area.
"26' nl
�J
M
Mithration Measures
During the required site plan review of all proposed developments, the City should
ensure that site improvements, including lighting and possible glare producing
building exteriors and shade patterns, do not adversely affect adjacent land uses. The
use of reflective glass or other reflective materials should be carefully reviewed to
ensure no adverse impacts occur to surrounding land uses and traffic.
The anproval process should ensure that lighting In parking ereus should not exceed
one footcandle, and should be shielded and directed away from any ad!oining
residential uees.
5.6 VISUAL EFFECTS
Exlstin[ Conditions
The Project Area consists of a variety of land uses and structures of varying
architectural styles and ages in varying states of maintenance. Developments along
Foothill Boulevard in particular vary widely in age, from historically significant
structures in old downtown Cucamonga at Archibald Avenue to bread new office and
commerical buildings from Vineyard Avenue to Haven Avenue. The variety of
developments creates a visual inconsistency from one block to the next. ASperificPlan
for the Foothill Corridor Is currently being completed, which is being designed, in major
part, to enhance the visual quality of the corridor.
Environmental Effects
The construction ofstreet improvements such as decorative paving, street furniture
decorative signage, etc. along Foothill Boulevard, as identified In the pending Specific
Plan and implemented by the proposed Plan amendment, will help to provide an
atmosphere of cohesion and relationship, tying together the various separate
developmenb which an taking place. These improvements will render the overall area
aesthetically more pleasing.
Depending upon the type of community or cultural facility that is developed the
structure may have a visual effect on the environment. However, adherence to normal
site plan ravlew, including among other conditions, setback and landscaping
27 916
. ,
requirements, should eliminate the potential for any negative effects on the
environment.
Mitlaatlon Measures
visual impacts can be minimized or reduced by adhering to City landscaping and
building setback requirements. New development &hall also observe appropriate
screening methods, and/or building height limits to remain compatible with adjacent
land uses.
5.7 EFFECTS NOT FOUND TO BE SIGNIFICANT
The discussion of environmental factors has been focused, both as a result of the
findings identified in the initial study, located in Appendix A of this Report, and
through analysis of additional Information pertaining to the public improvements
associated with the Project since the Initial Study was prepared. As a result, many of
the potential impacts listed in the Initial Study as a "yes" or "maybe" have been
determined to be Insignificant and thus will not be discussed herein. Theseitemsareas
follows:
A. Earth
2. Disruption, displacements, compaction or overcovering of the soil.
9. Change in topography or ground surface relief features.
5. Increase in wind or water erosion of soils.
Although the construction of Foothil. Boulevard improvements and multipurpose
community and cultural facilities will require some grading which will result in
disruption of the soil will create some minor topographic alterations and may
cause site - specific erosion due to wind or water, the extent of these impacts Is not
anticipated to be significant. In addition, should any proposed facility, at the time
specific plans for such a facility have been prepared, have the potential for
slTlificantly impacting the environment, a focused EIR will be prepared pursuant
to CEQA.
7. Exposure of people or property to geologic hazards such as asrthquakes.
zli• 97
- — ..k
Faults in the vicinity of the Project Area may be the source of
groundshaking. Seismic activity could damage the facilities proposed to be
constructed and endanger Individuals using those facilities at the time of a
seismic event. Mitigation measures to ensure appropriate up -to -date
str�.•tursl safety features will be required by law. Should any of the
community or cultural facilities be determined to be a "critical facility" in
which large numbers of persons are concentrated at one time In a public
place, an environmental Impact report will be required prior to approval of
such a facility.
B. Air
2. Substantial air emissions or deterioration of ambient air quality.
Short•term, localized reductions in ambient air quality can be expected to result
from grading and construction activities which create dust and equipment
emissions. These impacts an not anticipated to be significant. Air quality may
also be reduced by localized use of fuels to cool or heat proposed facilities.
However, the nature of these facilities is not known at this time, therefore impacts
from such facilities related to the consumption of natural gas and electricity
cannot be determined. Should a facility be proposed which may significantly
impact the use of such natural resources, or create traffic impacts which may
impact air quality, a subsequent environmental analysis will be done.
C. Water
2. Change in absorption rates, drainage patterns or the rate and amount of
surface water runoff?
Future facilities may result in an increase in the area of impervious surfaces, thus
increasing surface water runoff. Should a facility be proposed which may
significantly impact water runoff, percolation or draingage, a subsequent
y environmental analysis will be prepared.

Development will require the removal of existing vegetation, and will result in
the introduction of new plant species through landscaping{ of urban uses with
native and/or a combination of native and exotic plant species. These impacts are
not considered to be sigoGcant. Adherence to the City s existing policy for
preserving mature trees will be continued.

7.0 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED— ACTION I
7.1 NO PROJECT
This alternative wrald require that the Plan amendment initiated by the Rancho
Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency be terminated. The Agency proposes to alleviate
existing blighting influences, In part, through the provision of new or improved public
improvements and public facilities. These needs exist throughout the Project Area.
The overall coat of providing such public improvements may be beyond the abiUty of the
public or private sector acting alone and private reinvestment in the area would seem
to indicate that revitalization is unlikely to oe=without public participation.
The "no project" alternative would avoid or at least delay the potenti al beneficial
impacts aawlated with the proposed project. Needid facilities as deemed by
community would not be constructed, and some project objectives would take longer to
achieve or would be severely compromis. -d due to inadequate funding sources. The
ability of the Agency to offer private sector assistance to encourage development in
conformance with the General Plan would also be lessened due to lower revenues
received by the Agency. Therefore, it may take longer for the Agency to accomplish the
goals toward which It is working to alleviate bliEhting conditions in the Project Area.
7.2 ALTERNATIVE CHANGES TO PLAN
Less intensive changes to the Redevelopment Plan would involve the lessening of
beneficial impacts associated with the Project. Although, impacts to taxing
jurisdictions might be lessened If financial limit increases were reduced, through
Agency cooperation agreements with affected taxing jurisdictions, and use of
alternative means of available financing by those affected taxing jurisdictions,
negative impacts should be alleviated. The Agency win also be empowered to provide
for facilities which would be of benent to other taxing entities, which will also assist in
alleviating any financial burden ordetriment.
-32- 9/
8.0 LONG -TERM IMPLICATIONS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT
8.1 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT -TERM USES OF
THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE MAINTENANCE AND
ENHANCEMENT OF LONG -TERM PRODUCTIVITY
The proposed Project will result In impacts on the environment that will affect
both short term uses of the land and its long -term productivity. Development that Is
facilitated by the Project will commit the underlying land for long -term usage as
proposed by the Redevelopment Plea and as allowed under the City's General Plan.
Public improvements will enhance the long -term productivity of existing structures
and land uses. The commitment of land and resources for these purposes would be
essentially irreversible and would preclude alternative uses, until such time as new
uses become subject to deterioration as w ell.
The encouragement of private investment in the Project Area Is Intended to
alleviate and reveme conditions of blight which are now adversely affecting the
productivity of the Project Ana. Thus, the Project is being proposed In order to enhance
long -term productivity by Increasing employment opportunities, and by improving
puhlic improvements and facilities serving the Project Ana. These improvements are
expected to help in the achievement of an environmental balance between development
growth and the provision ofnecer ryservicestosupportsuchgrowth.
8.2 IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES RESULTING
FROM PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
New development that is facilitated through Project implementation will require
the commitment of land to alternate uses. However, the public facilitins and
Improvements planned to be Implemented by tho Plan amendment would be to service
the needs of development that would probably take place without the proposed
improvements, thus improving the quality of the environment for those developments.

Ili. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING-
A. Describe the project site as it exists before the project, including information
on topography, soil stability, plants and animals, and any cultural,
historical or scenic aspects. Describe any existing structures on the site,
and the use of the structures. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is situated on
a gradually sloping alluvial fan located near the eastern edge of the San
Gabriel Mountains. Slopes are typically less than 10 %. Soils Include
Younger and older alluvial deposit* ranging from coarse depoeito to fine
grained sands The fine grained sands are su tect to wind erosion and
deposition. The region in which the site is located Is characterized by
numerous faults, including the San Andreas. San Jacinto. Cucamonn and
Whittier Faults. The site Iles within the upper Santa Ana water abed
including the Cucamonn Creek and Its tributaries. Cucamonn. Deer and
Day Creeks drain directly through the site. Substantial portions of the site
are susceptible to 100 year floods. Most of the site Res within the coastal
sage eoosntem. Area fauna are typical of disturbed and altered areas.
There are no known rare orendangered species on the site. The site is in the
process of being developed for urban uses. Substantial residential,
commercial and Industrial development is occurring on the site
B. Describe the m- -rounding properties, Including Information on plants and
animals and any cultural, historical or scenic aspects. Indicate the type of
land use (residential, eosmercial, etc.), intensity of land use (one - family,

IR. DETERMINATION
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
_ I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be
prepared-
I find that although the Proposed Project Could have a significant effect
on the environment, there will not be a significant effect In this case
because the mitigation measures described on an atcaehed sheet have
been added to the project A NEGATIVE DECLARAMUN' WILL BE
PREPARED.
X I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and. a focused ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required.

EXPLANATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IDENTIFIED IN
SECTION 1V.
A2,3 Construction of Foothill Boulevard Improvements and mulU• purpose
community and cultural facilities will require some grading for site
preparation which will result in disruption of the soil and possible minor
topographic alterations.
A5 Wind or water erosion may be temporarily intensified during construction
of the public facilities contemplated to be added to the Redevelopment Plan.
A7 Faults In the vicinity of the Project Area may be the source of
groundsbaking. Seismic activity could damage the facilities proposed to be
constructed and endanger individuals using those facilities at the time of a
seismic event.
BI Shorbterm, localised reductions In ambient air quality can be expected to
result from grading and construction activities which create dust and
equipment emissions. Air quality may also be reduced by localized use of
fuels to cool or beat proposed facilities.
C2 Future development within the Project Area will alter the amount and rate
of runoff by increasing the area of impervious surfaces.
D1,3 Development will require the removal ofexisting vegetation, and will result
In the Introduction of new plant species through landscaping of urban uses
with native and/or a combination of native and exotic plant species.
Fl. Improvements to Foothill Boulevard will increase the capacity of this
arterial street and result in Increased vehicular traffic which will resultin a
nigher level ofniose along Foothill Boulevard.
B -1 �� %
G. Planned facilities may Include lighted community facilities or parking
;i areas.
s
M1,2. Construction of community facilities will result in the creation of a
destination which will increase vehicular movement and at the same time
create a need for additional parking.
M4. The proposed Improvement of Foothill Boulevard may alter present
circulation patterns.
Me. During construction activities which affect roadways directly or Indirectly,
there may be a temporary, localised increase In traffic hasards. Advance
n ' notification provided to police and fire departments can mitigate emergency
access disruptions.
N1,2 Construction of new public facilities will generate an increased demand for
` fire and police protection services. Police and fire departments may alto be
adversely affected by the dirersfon of additional property tax revenues to
the Redevelopment Agency
NS. School districts may be indirectly impacted by the diversion of additional
property tax revenues to the Redevelopment Agency.
N4. Construction of new cultural or community facilities which may also be
recreational facilities would have a beneficial impact. The diversion of
additional property to revenues to the Redevelopment Agency could have
' negative Impacts on the provision of recreational opportunities by the City.
Nb. There will be a short -term Increase in the need for maintenance of roads
during the construction phase of the proposed Foothill Boulevard
"- Improvements. However, completion of improvements will have a long-
term, beneficial impact by reducing the frequency and ecstofmaintenance.

The Department of Conservation has reviewA the Rancho Cucamonga
Redevelopment Agency's NOP for amendment to the Redevelopment
Plan for the Rancho Redevelopment Project. We have the
following comment on mineral resources.
under the authority of the State Surface Mining ant Reclamation
Act of 1975 (SNI.RA), the Department of Conservation is
authorised, among other responsibilities, to classify specified
lands of the State according to the presence of significant
mineral deposits. This mineral -land classification activity
provides local governments, local property owners, and the
mining industry with scientific information regarding the
nature, occurrence, and distribution of mineral deposits. This
Information is intended for use by local government in lend -use
planning and mineral conservation.
Our Division of Nines and Geology has clessIfied much of the
land within the project area as containing Lignificant deposits
of aggregate resources which are of significance on both a local
and regional basis. This was identified in our comments on the
NOP for this project. In addition, the State Mining and Geology
Board has proposed designation of thib area as one containing
aggregate resources of regional significance.
Section 2763 of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975
(SMARA) has the following requirements for areas that have been
designated:
2763, (a) Lead agency land use decisions involving areas
designated as being of regional significance shall be in
accordance with the lead agency's mineral resource
management policies and shall also, in balancing mineral
values against alternative lan, uses, consider the
importance of these minerals to their market region as a
whole and not just their importance to the lead agency's
area of jurisdiction. t

Therefore, we recommend that the Environmental Impact Report
contain a discussion of the mineral resource potential of the
project area, and the impacts that the proposed development
would have on the local and regional aggregate resource supplies.
If you have any questions regarding these commante, please'
contact Zoe McCroa, Division of Mines and Geology Environmental
Review Officer, at (916) 322 - 3202. '

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department provides
law enforcement and public safety services for the project
area under contract to the City of Rancho Cucamonga.
Implementation of the project has no anticipated impact
on the types of services we provide. Service demands are
estimated using a per capita occurrence ratio of crimes
and traffic accidents. It is not anticipated that the project
will create a need for expanding existing facilities or
staff or constructing a new facility, however, the City
is in the process of constructing a new facility at a different
location at the present time. The current Sheriff's Station
is located at 9333 9th Street, Rancho Cucamonga and we have
an approximate seven - minute response time to the ce.,ter
of the project area.
At the present time I can recommend no measure for mitigating
project impacts t; be incorporated into the project. if
I can provide any cdditional information, please call me
at 989 -6611.
sincerely,

Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701
Dear Ms. Daniels:
This is submitted in response to the Noti:e of preparation of a Draft Envirormental
Impact Report dated January 30, 1987.
The Cucamonga School District overlays approximately one third of the project area.
It 1s an elementary school district which 1s presently operating in excess of its
capacity. In light of that fact any increase in studert enrollment due to the
Project will adversely affect the district.
Your attention is directed to the fact that there are not presently available
sufficient State Funds to build additional schools. Additionally, the fees which
are currently available from residential developers are woefully inadequate to
provide the needed construction. The district, after January 1, 19D7, is also now
required to provide education for children who have parents working in the district.
Because the Redevelopment Agency contemplates additional industrial and commercial
development with its attendant new jobs, a new somelhat unknown variable student
toad is facing the district.
We also want to call to your attention that the district's facilities are subject to
the provisions of Education Code Sections 40040 at seq The Civic Center Act. This
act makes those facilities cultural and recreation centers. Any increase in Agency
Tax Increment Diversion will negatively affect the district's ability to carry out
those recreational and cultural activities while the burden of increased human
activity and presence brought about by the agency's plans will tax the existing
facilities beyond their capacity.
The district believes that the agency has the obligation to mitigate the above impacts
and suggests that the mitigation can be bast accomplished by entering into an
agreement with the district to share a fixed percentage of agency revenues for the f
life of the project. If I can answer any questions about the district's request, ,
please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

RE: Notice of Preparation of s Draft EIR, January 30, 1987
The Cnaffey Joint Union High S,:bool District (the District) covers
the entire area of the proposed project your EIR will encompass.
The District currenty has two high schools in the subject area, both
of which are over Capacity and growing larger. The District is in
negotiations to purchase a forty acre site for another high school
in the subject area. -
Because State funds are already inadequate to finance building new
Lchoolo and developer fees do not make up the difference, any increase
in student population directly or indirectly resulting from _ne
project would further impact our schools. Although your item IV -K
of you initial study was answered 'No,' it would seem reasonable to
expect t at any project that significantly enhances the area would,
in fact, attract more people to the area.
Further, as you item IV -M -3 and the explanatory note on page B -2
indicate, there is the possibility of negative impaction on school
district revenues.
It is our opinion that the Redevelopment Agency should mitigate the
negative impacts the project has upon schools. Perhaps this beat
could be done through a sharing of the Agency revenues with the
Diatrict.

RE% Your February 10, 1987 r,4queet for draft SIR information
for the Rancho Cucamonga Redevelopment Agency Plan Amendment
.. Pledse refer to my letter of February 23, 1987. I wish to submit
a change to my response to item S and suggest that, because, as
I indicated in item 3, the project probably will contribute to
the naed for more school facilities, the Redevelopment Agency
should help mitigate that impaction through sharing of tax incre-
ments genLrated by the project.

This letter is in response to your comspondemo of February 10. 1967
to Dan Column, senior Planner. The followinp comments are in answer to
your questions contained in your latter:
1. The City is conducting a study of the Foothill Boulevard
corridor. It is Probable that new provisions and policies
will soon be in effect that'are substantially different from
those of existing policies. It is recoweendad that the EIR
mention this study and acknowledge potential changes in future
land use and development policies.
2. We are not lwre of any significant discrepancies between the
City's General Plan and any Regional Plans. DiscnWncfes
which do or are within the City's incorporated limits and
therefore, trm Cou9ty's General Plan does not effect tk4
City's decision inking process.
3. Thera are some unique buildings and strucWm along Foothill
Boulevard of architectural and historical significance. These
features my be affected by isprovusmints ala q Foothill as a
result of the implementation of cfrculatfm projects MuNktad
by the specific Plan. Son of these features we listed an
the attached page of the draft docueent. Ecological resources
would include any existing Eucalyptus windrows or arty other

Dear Ms. Daniels:
This is in response to the Notice of Preparation of a Draft
Environmental Impact Report for amendment to the Redevelopment
Plan for the Rancho Redevelopment Project.
We would appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the
proposed DEIR in order to evaluate posslble,impacts to the
transportation system, particularly State Routes 10, 15, and td.
It should be noted that an adequate EIR for a redevelopment area
such as this would be sufficient for each individual project under
the plan and it would be advantageous to the City of Rancho
Cucamonga to make the EIR as detailed as possible with regard to
specific impacts and mitigation measures. This would avoid
requiring individual environmental documents for each specific
proposal.
Consideration should be given to the cumulative effects that
conti TSod development in the area will have on the transportation -
system from a "worst case" viewpoint. Discussion of the impacts
to the transportation system should include traffic growth,
traffic safety, drainage, and those 333001sted with the 00n3truc-
Lion, maintenance, and operation of any anticipated highway
Improvements. Mitigation for traffic impacts should consider the 'a
use of carpooling /vangnoling, public transit, the reservation of
areas for Park and Aide facilities, and accommodations for both
pedestrians and bicycles. Any industrial development should
consider the use of flex -time wo/k scheduling and riderhare {
coordinators. Costs related to any transportation improvements,
potential for funding, and sources of funds should be disousaed. ;

Dear Ms. Daniels:
This is in response to th- Notice of Preparation of a Draft

Plan for the Rancho Redevelopment Project.
We would appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on the
proposed DEIR in order to evaluate p033ible.impact4l to the
transportation system, particularly State Route 66, I -15, and I -10.
It should be noted that an adequate EIR for a redevelopment area
such as this would be sufficient for each individual project under
the plan and it would be advantageous to the City of Cancho Cucamonga
to make the EIR as detailed as possible with regard to specific
impacts and mitigation measures. This would avoid requiring
individual •tnvironmantal documents for each specific proposal.
Consideration should be given to the cumulative effects that
continued development In the area will have on the transportation
system from a "worst ease" viewpoint. Discussion of the impacts
to the transportation system should include traffic growth,
traffic safety, drainage, and those associated with the construc-
tion, maintenance, and operation of any anticipated highway
improvements. Mitigation for traffic impacts should consider the
use of carpooling /vanpooling, public transit, the reservation of
areas for Park and Ride facilities, and accommodations for both
pedestrians and bicycles. Any industrial development should
consider the use of flex -time work scheduling and rideshare
coordinators. Costs related to any transportation improvements,
potential for funding, and sources of funds should be discussed.
Care is to be be taken when developing this property to preserve
and perpetuate the existing drainage pattern of the State tighwiy.
Particular consideration must be given to cumulative increased
storm runoff to insure that a highway drainnge problem Is not
created.

This is In response to your X.O.P. of a draft Environmental Impact Report for
the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Rancho Redevelopment Project,
SCR 187020908.
The Commission staff's concern will be on the ^Transportatlon/Circulatim"
impacts. We will be specifically concerned that may BIR adequately address
the environmental effects of those portions of the project that deal or re-
late to train operations and/or with railroad- highway crossings. May environ-
mental analysis should include traffic safety, congestion and delay at cross -
ings. The circulation analysis should quantify traffic volume growth, both,
generated by the projects and cumulative growth in the vicinity of the proj-
ects. The internal roadway system within each project should be described and
delineated. Our concern with the internal roadway is that each project should
have adequate egress in case of any train mishap, hazardous material spill or
other emergency.

This is to advise that the subject property is located

parameters of the overall projected load growth which we are
planning to meet in this area.
unless the demand for electrical generating capacity exceeds
our estimates, and provided that there are no unexpected outages
to major sources of electrical supply, we expect to most our
electrical requirements for the next several years.
Our total system demand is expected to :ontinue to increase
annuallyl however, excluding any unforeseen problems, our plans
for new generation resources indicate that our ability to serve
all customer loads during peak demand periods will be adequate
during the next five years.
