compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended,and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder,that
said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the City Council; and,

b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all
significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by
Imposition of mitigation measures on the project,which are listed below.
Environmental Mitinatlon
Air Quality
1) The site shall be treated with water a minimum of twice
per day, or other soil-stabilizing agent (approved by
SCAQMD and RWQCB)daily to reduce PM10 emissions,
in accordance with SCAQMD Rule 403. This will result in
a minimum reduction of 68 percent of PM10 emissions
during grading.
2) Public roads used for access to the site (Haven Avenue,
Foothill Boulevard,and Civic Center Drive)shall be swept
according to a schedule established by the City to reduce
PM10 emissions associated with vehicle tracking of soil
off-site. The site access haul road will be watered a
minimum of twice daily. Timing may vary depending upon
time of year of construction. This will result in
approximately three percent reduction of PM10 emissions.
3) Grading operations shall be suspended when wind
speeds exceed 25 mph to minimize PM10 emissions from
the site during such episodes. Emissions reduction not
quantifiable.
4) Chemical soil stabilizers (approved by SCAQMD and
RWQCB) shall be applied to all inactive construction
areas that remain inactive for 96 hours or more to reduce
PM10 emissions.
5) Vehicle speeds will be restricted to less than 15 miles per
hour on unpaved portions of the site. This will reduce
PM10 emissions by 70 percent.
6) The construction contractor shall select the construction
equipment used on-site based on low-emission factors
and high-energy efficiency. The construction contractor
shall ensure the construction grading plans include a
statement that all construction equipment will be tuned
and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications. This will result in 5 percent reductions of
ROG, NO,,, and PM10 emissions.
Resolution No. 01-176
Page 4 of 8
7) The construction contractor shall utilize electric or clean
alternative fuel-powered equipment where feasible.
8) The construction contractor shall ensure that
construction-grading plans include a statement that work
crews will shut off equipment when not in use.
Traffic
1) To mitigate the impacted intersections to LOS D or better,
the applicant shall pay traffic impact fees that amount to
the project's fair share of roadway improvements as
identified by the City Engineer. These include, but are
not limited to,widening roadways to their full width to add
additional lanes, re-striping existing roads to add
additional lanes, signalizing Intersections, or other
improvements identified by the City Engineer.
2) If the applicant proposes to develop the project with
parking accommodations less than currently specified by
the Development Code, concurrent with the
Development(Design Review of the first phase of the
project, the applicant shall submit a parking study that
shows the feasibility of the proposed shared parking
concept. The shared parking plan and accompanying
parking study must be reviewed, and if deemed
acceptable by the City, could result in approval of a
shared parking plan. Otherwise,the adopted City parking
requirements will be uniformly applied to the project-
Hazardous
rojectHazardous Materials
1) Pdorto demolition of buildings on-site,the applicantshall
submit an asbestos abatement report to ensure building
materials that may contain ACM are sampled and
removed in accordance with applicable regulations.
Materials containing less than 0.1 percent asbestos are
non-regulated and do not require removal prior to
demolition. Material containing 0.1 percent or more
asbestos are considered regulated and must be removed
prior to demolition.
Noise
1) A perimeter wall shall be constructed around the outdoor
play area of the proposed day care center.The optimum
height and depth of the wall and material to be used shall
be determined in a specific noise evaluation that shall be
completed during the design phase of the day care
center. The noise evaluation shall be submitted with the
design drawings for review and approval by the City
Engineer prior to commencement of construction of the
day care center.

2) Prior to issuance of building permits for the residential
components of the project,the applicant shall prepare a
noise evaluation that identifies future exterior and interior
noise levels and identifies measures required to reduce
noise impacts to less than significant levels. These
measures may include, but are not limited to, double-
paned windows, additional Insulation of exterior walls,
and the installation of air-conditioning units. The type of
