DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION 13 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 Please refer to the Environmental Initial Study Checklist Form above when reading the following evaluation. AESTHETICS a) No Impact. The project site is already developed with an approximate 18,000- square -foot building and parking lot within a developed business park. No designated scenic vista is located on the property or in its vicinity. Regardless, the project would not involve any changes to the exterior of the existing building or to the existing parking area that would affect the viewscape in this area. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. No scenic resources (including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a scenic highway) are located on the project site. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The project site is located within a business park that is characterized by neutral - toned, one- or two -story buildings that are generally surrounded by flat parking lots with associated ornamental landscaping (i.e., mature trees and low- growing shrubs within median, end - island, and perimeter planter areas). The project does not propose any modifications to the exterior of the existing building. Nor does it propose any exterior use beyond employee, client and delivery parking in clearly designated parking spaces. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. The project would not involve any changes to the exterior of the existing building that would result in new sources of light or glare. The existing building features security lighting that is similar in nature to the lighting at the surrounding buildings, and would not be altered as part of the project. No impact would occur. AGRICULTURE AND FOREST RESOURCES a) No Impact. The project site is located within a business park, with no farmland uses in the vicinity. Thus, the project would not result in the conversion of Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farm -land of Statewide Importance to non - agricultural uses. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. The project site is not currently zoned for agricultural use and does not contain Williamson Act contract land. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The project site does not contain, and is not zoned, for forest land, timberland or timberland zoned Timberland Production. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. As stated in response II.c, the project site is not located in an area containing forest land. Accordingly, project construction and operation would not convert any forest land to non - forest use, and no impact would occur. e) No Impact. The project would directly impact neither agriculture nor forest lands, nor introduce new elements into the landscape that would contribute to future conversion of agricultural use to non - agricultural use or forest land to non - forest use. No impact would occur. III. AIR QUALITY a) No Impact. The City of Poway is part of the San Diego Air Basin and air quality in the area is administered by the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). An air quality 14 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 management plan (AQMP) describes air pollution control strategies to be taken by a City, County or region classified as a nonattainment area to meet the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements. The main purpose of an AQMP is to bring the area into compliance with the requirements of federal and state air quality standards, and to coordinate regional and local governmental agencies to achieve air quality improvement goals. A San Diego Regional Air Quality Strategies Plan — 1994 (jointly developed by the Air Pollution Control District and the San Diego Association of Govern ments-SAN DAG) exists for the San Diego area and provides strategies for pollution control to improve air quality in the region. Land use plans and build out projections of the General Plans of jurisdictions within the San Diego area were considered in establishing the strategies of the Regional Air Quality Strategies Plan. The Poway General Plan includes strategies that are directed toward reducing air emissions through land use patterns, transportation planning, regional agency cooperation, energy conservation, and construction. The Poway Business Park, which is where the project is located, was established pursuant to the balanced land use strategies in the General Plan and has established a sub - regional employment center in close proximity to residential uses thereby helping to reduce vehicle miles traveled, and vehicle emissions, in the County. The project, which involves re- establishment of a business in a currently vacant building would also create jobs in the Poway Business Park and is therefore consistent with the Poway General Plan strategies and San Diego Regional Air Quality Strategies Plan. With regard to any short term emissions resulting from construction activity, the project involves only minor tenant improvements that do not involve large construction equipment of vehicles. The project will not have a significant adverse long -term impact on air quality in the area. b) No Impact. See response Il.a above. c) Less Than Significant Impact. Establishment of an automobile body repair business will involve establishment of an interior paint spray booth. Such activities are under the regulatory purview of, and require the issuance of a permit by, the County Air Pollution Control District (APCD). Air quality standards will be ensured by the APCD, accordingly, impacts will be less than significant. d) No Impact. The project would not expose any sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations, and no impact would occur. e) Less Than Significant Impact. See response Ill.c above. IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES a) No Impact. The project site is fully developed and does not contain sensitive habitat likely to support sensitive species. Ornamental landscaping occurs within the project site and adjacent areas, including mature trees and groundcover. The mature trees have the potential to support nesting birds. Any habitat provided by the ornamental vegetation would remain in place and would not be modified by the project. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. No riparian habitat or other sensitive natural communities identified by federal, state, regional, or local agencies, plans, policies, or regulations are located on the project site. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The project site does not support any wetlands nor would the project propose any activity that could result in substantially adverse effects on wetlands. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. The project site is not located within any reported local or regional wildlife corridors. The Poway General Plan Natural Resources Element identifies two regional wildlife corridors through Poway and into adjoining jurisdictions: (1) a north -south corridor from San Dieguito River 15 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 north of Poway to the Sycamore Canyon area south of Poway; and (2) an east -west corridor from the mountainous country around Iron Mountain and Goat Peak to Los Pehasquitos Creek, via Beeler and Poway Creeks and adjoining habitats. The project site is located on an elevated ridgeline above the latter wildlife corridor through Beeler and Poway Creeks. Beeler Creek is located approximately a half mile south of the project site, while Poway Creek is located approximately one mile north of the project site. Given the developed nature of the project site and absence of on -site native vegetation communities, the project site would not serve any meaningful wildlife corridor function, nor would it be likely to provide a native wildlife nursery site. No impact would occur. e) No Impact. The City Tree Removal Ordinance (Poway Municipal Code (PMC) Title 12, Chapter 12.32 Urban Forestry, Section 12.32.110 Tree Removal Permit) protects trees growing on public property, within public rights -of -way, and on private properties (including commercial and industrial), and requires a permit and evaluation for tree removals. In this instance, the project does not propose any tree removals. The project site does not contain any other biological resources that are protected by local policies. Consequently, implementation of the project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, and no impact would occur. f) No Impact. The Poway Subarea Habitat Conservation Plan /Natural Community Conservation Plan (HCP /NCCP) serves as the planning document for the protection and management of biologically effective, interconnected open spaces in the City of Poway. The Poway Subarea HCP /NCCP, which was adopted in April 1996, is consistent with the regional and subregional planning efforts within San Diego County pursuant to the State of California's NCCP act of 1991. The project is not located within the Poway Subarea HCP Mitigation Area. No impact would occur. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES a) No Impact. The project site contains an approximate 20 year old industrial building and is surrounded by similar development. There are no historic structures on the site or in the vicinity. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. According to the Prehistoric and Historic Resources Element of the Poway General Plan, the project site is located in an area with a high probability of archaeological resources (Poway 2002). A cultural resources records search and field survey was conducted in 1984 for the South Poway Planned Development Community Plan area, as detailed in the EIR prepared for the plan (Poway 1985b). The survey identified six archaeological sites in or near areas proposed for development or roadways that could be impacted by grading and construction. The project site was graded and developed over 15 years ago, with no documented archaeological resources discovered at that time. Regardless, the current project does not propose any ground disturbing activities that could affect potentially present and unknown archaeological resources. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. Prior construction of the existing business park would have modified any intact soils /potential formations underlying the buildings. Regardless, the current project does not propose any ground disturbing activities that could affect potentially present and unknown paleontological resources or unique geologic feature. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. Please see item V.b, above. No ground disturbance would occur as part of the project. Therefore, there is no chance of disturbing human remains. No impact would occur. 16 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 VI. GEOLOGY /SOILS a i) Less Than Significant Impact. No active known faults traverse the project site or are within 0.5 mile of the site. The nearest known fault is an unnamed fault located approximately three miles northwest of the project site. Murphy Canyon Fault is the nearest main southern California fault, located approximately nine miles southwest of the project site. Three major fault systems within the project vicinity include the Elsinore, San Jacinto, and Rose Canyon faults. The active Elsinore fault trends northwest and is about 22 miles northeast of Poway. The San Jacinto fault is also an active northwest - trending fault about 45 miles northeast of Poway. The Rose Canyon fault is located about 16 to 20 miles west of Poway in the Pacific Ocean and is considered potentially active. There is potential for some local damage in the event of a major earthquake along one of these fault systems, which could result in significant impacts to project facilities. While the potential for on -site rupture cannot be completely discounted (e.g.: unmapped faults could conceivably underlie the site), the likelihood for such an occurrence is considered low due to the absence of known faulting within or adjacent to the site. As a result, impacts related to fault rupture are assessed as less than significant. a ii) Less Than Significant Impact. The project site is located in seismically active southern California and is likely to be subjected to moderate to strong seismic ground shaking. Seismic shaking at the site could be generated by events on any number of known active and potentially active faults in the region, including several unnamed faults, larger faults such as Murphy Canyon Fault, and major fault systems such as Elsinore, San Jacinto, and Rose Canyon. An earthquake along any of these known active fault zones could result in severe ground shaking and consequently cause injury and /or property damage in the project vicinity. This could potentially result in significant impacts to project facilities. The building that houses the project was designed and constructed to incorporate measures to accommodate projected seismic loading, pursuant to existing guidelines such as the "Greenbook" Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction and the International Building Code, formerly the Uniform Building Code. These guidelines are produced through joint efforts by industry groups to provide standard specifications for engineering and construction activities. They are widely accepted by regulatory authorities and are regularly included in related standards such as municipal building and grading codes, and they include measures to accommodate seismic loading parameters. The building in which this business will be established was designed and constructed to accommodate projected seismic loading, pursuant to these existing guidelines. Accordingly, potential impacts associated with strong seismic ground shaking would be less than significant. a iii) No Impact. The project site is not located in an area that has potential for liquefaction. Thus, no impacts resulting from seismically related ground failure would occur. a iv) No Impact. According to the South Poway Planned Development Community Plan EIR (Poway 1985b), landslides are common in the Poway area and generally occur as a result of ground shaking in areas of unstable geologic conditions, such as the Friar's Formation. Within the community plan area (which includes the Poway Business Park), areas of slide - prone Friar's formation are generally at lower elevations, particularly along the northern and western areas. The project site is located with the central portion of the Poway Business Park. Thus, the project site is not underlain by formations identified as susceptible to seismically induced landslides. No impact is identified. b) No Impact. The project site is developed. No construction or activities are proposed that would result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. No impact would occur. 17 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 c) No Impact. The project site is not located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. Expansive soils change in volume (shrink or swell) due to changes in moisture content of the soil. The project is the establishment of an indoor shooting range within an existing building that has been constructed in accordance with geotechnical recommendations that incorporate IBC standards, as required by the City of Poway. Thus, potential expansion would be unlikely, and, should expansion occur, would not be a rapidly occurring event that would risk life or property. No impact is identified. e) No Impact. The business park is connected to sewer. No septic tanks or other alternative waste water disposal systems are proposed. No impact would occur. VII. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS a) Less Than Significant Impact. Greenhouse gases (GHGs), allow solar radiation (sunlight) into the Earth's atmosphere, but prevent radiative heat from escaping, thus warming the Earth's atmosphere. GHGs are emitted by both natural processes and human activities; and the accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere regulates the Earth's temperature. Emissions of GHGs in excess of natural ambient concentrations are thought to be responsible for the enhancement of the greenhouse effect and contributing to what is termed "global warming." The state of California's Climate Change Scoping Plan aims to reduce state and local GHG emissions by primarily targeting the largest emitters of GHGs: the transportation, including emissions from vehicles, and energy sectors. Item XVI.a below concludes that, the project is not anticipated to result in substantial numbers of new vehicle trips on roads. Accordingly, impacts would be less than significant. b) No Impact. See response VII. A above. VIII. HAZARDS & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS a) Less Than Significant Impact. The project involves establishment of an automobile body repair business and accordingly limited amounts of paints and other solvents will be used and sorted on -site. These materials will be properly handled, used, stored, transported, and /or disposed of in accordance with San Diego County Department of Environmental Health regulatory standards. Storage and use of hazardous or flammable materials on -site would be in compliance with Fire and Building Department requirements. Based on these considerations, the potential for the project to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials is considered unlikely. A less than significant impact is identified. b) Less Than Significant Impact. Please also refer to Vlll.a, above. Based on these considerations, a less than significant potential for the project to create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials is identified. c) No Impact. The project site is not located within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school and, therefore, would not result in any impacts related to hazardous emissions or the handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or wastes. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. Development has already occurred at this site during business park construction, and no ground disturbance has or would occur due to establishment of the business within an existing building. No impact is identified. 18 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 e) No Impact. The closest airports to the project site are Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, located approximately 6.5 miles southwest of the project site, and Gillespie Field, located approximately 8 miles southeast of the project site. The project does not currently contain, nor does it propose, habitable structures that would result in exposure of people to safety hazards from these airports. In addition, the project site is not located within the Airport Influence Area of either of these airports. Thus, operation of the project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area and no impact would occur. f) No Impact. Refer to Item Vlll.e, above. The project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area and no impact would occur. g) No Impact. The project would not impair or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. Operation of the project would not interfere with people's ability to utilize roadways for evacuation purposes and, on a more local level, emergency vehicle lanes within the project parking lot would be kept clear of obstructions compliance with City ordinances. Accordingly, no impact would occur. h) No Impact. According to the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) map for Poway (CAL FIRE 2009), the project site is located within a non - VHFHSZ. In addition, the project site is within an urbanized and developed area, and not located adjacent to any large expanses of wildlands. Accordingly, the project would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. No impact would occur. IX. HYDROLOGY/WATER QUALITY a) No Impact. The project involves establishment of a business within an existing building with no improvements proposed outside of the building. Accordingly it would not violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements, and no impacts would occur. b) No Impact. The project, which does not propose any construction or activities that would directly affect groundwater, would not contribute to the depletion of groundwater supplies or interfere with groundwater recharge. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The project site is developed, and located within an existing business park. No construction is proposed that would alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area (including through alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off - site). No impact would occur. d) No Impact. As discussed in Item IX.c, above, the project would not result in changes to the existing drainage of the project site. As a result, no substantial increase in the rate or amount of surface runoff would occur in a manner which would result in flooding on or off -site. No impact would occur. e) No Impact. As stated in Item IX.d, above, the project would not increase the local surface runoff volumes. No impact would occur. f) No Impact. No potential impacts related to water quality degradation, beyond those discussed above in Items a, c and e, would result from implementation of the project. No impact would occur. 19 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 g) No Impact. The project site is designated as "Zone X" on associated Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs; Converse 2010). The Zone X designation is applied to areas that are outside of mapped 500- and 100 -year floodplain limits. Additionally, the project does not involve the construction of any housing. No impact would occur. h) No Impact. As stated in Item IX.g, the project site is not located within a 100 -year flood hazard area, nor would the project entail the construction of structures which could impede or redirect flood flows. No impact would occur. i) No Impact. The project site is not located within or adjacent to any mapped dam inundation areas, with the closest such designated inundation areas (as opposed to specific reservoir locations) located approximately 3.8 miles to the southwest in association with the Miramar Reservoir and 5.9 miles southeast in association with the San Vicente Reservoir. Dam inundation areas are locations that would be flooded should a dam failure occur. The inundation areas are generally located downstream (i.e., south and /or west) of these two reservoirs, at a farther distance from the project than from the water bodies themselves. Based on the fact that this project site is located upstream of the inundation areas, no significant risk of loss, injury or death would result from project implementation. No impact would occur. j) No Impact. The project site is not near any water body, no impacts would occur. X. LAND USE /PLANNING a) No Impact. This issue generally relates to major roadways or other facilities that cut one part of a neighborhood off from another making it more difficult for individuals to access services and public amenities. The project is appropriately located within a business park. It is not located within an established residential community and does not have the potential to physically divide an established community. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. The project site is zoned and designated by the City of Poway General Plan as Planned Community (PC) and has historically been used for light industrial uses. The project is located within the South Poway Specific Plan (SPSP) area and is designated as "Light Industrial' (LI; Poway 2011 b, as amended). The Light Industrial category is intended to promote the development of attractive comprehensively planned industrial uses that help to provide the City with a sound and diverse industrial base. The SPSP incorporates major industrial employment areas to implement the Poway Comprehensive Plan goals for industrial development. As a planned community, the SPSP provides employment opportunities in Poway and provides a needed balance of uses within the City, which has primarily been developed with residential and commercial land uses. Within the Light Industrial designation, automobile repair businesses are conditionally permitted. Thus, the project would not conflict with the SPSP, Poway General Plan, or any other identified land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. c) No Impact. As discussed in Item IV.f, implementation of the project would not result in impacts to the Poway Subarea HCP /NCCP because it is not located within a Poway Subarea HCP Mitigation Area. No impact would occur. XI. MINERAL RESOURCES a) No Impact. According to the Poway General Plan, the only known valuable mineral resource, as recognized by the California Department of Conservation, Division of Mines and Geology, 20 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 is construction quality sand and gravel located in the South Poway area of the City. Currently, one sand and gravel extraction operation is located south of the project site in Beeler Canyon. The project property is not currently utilized for mineral extraction and there are no future plans for mineral resource extraction at the site. The project would not result in any ground disturbance that could potentially affect unknown subsurface deposits. Accordingly, the project would not result in any impacts related to mineral resources. b) No Impact. See response to Item XI.a. XII. NOISE a) Less Than Significant Impact. All work associated with the automobile body repair will be conducted within the building, thereby minimizing noise to a great extent. On occasion work area entry doors may be left open. Regardless noise resulting from the business will be consistent with noise levels typically associated with surrounding industrial uses and will comply with City standards. Impacts will be less than significant. b) No Impact. The project does not include any components that would result in excessive groundborne vibration. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The project is located within a business park and surrounded by other allowable (i.e., commercial /industrial) uses. Please refer to Item Xll.a for a general description of project- related noise. Any permanent increase above non - project levels would not be considered substantial. As no substantial increase is anticipated, no impact would occur. d) No Impact. The project does not propose any construction activities, and thus, would not result in temporary or periodic increases in noise typically related to construction. No impact is identified. e) No Impact. The closest airports to the project site are Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, located approximately 6.5 miles southwest of the project site, and Gillespie Field, located approximately 8 miles southeast of the project site. The project does not currently contain, nor does it propose, habitable structures that would result in people being exposed to noise from these airports. In addition, the project site is not located within the Airport Influence Area of either of these airports. No impact would occur. f) No Impact. The project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the project would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels and no impact would occur. XIII. POPULATION /HOUSING a) No Impact. The project is an automobile body repair business within an existing building. As an individual small business, it would not induce substantial direct or indirect population growth in the surrounding area. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. The project site is located within an established business park. No housing would be displaced and no construction of replacement housing would be required. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. See Item Xlll.b. 21 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 XIV. PUBLIC SERVICES a) Fire Protection. No Impact. The project site and the surrounding business park are served by the City of Poway Fire Department. The closest fire station to the project site is Station 1, which is located at 13050 Community Road, approximately 1.2 miles north of the project site. Implementation of the project may result in an incremental increase in the demand for fire protection and emergency services, due to active use of a building that was vacant before being occupied by this new business. The site was already included within the Fire Department service area. Any specific service provided should there be an (unexpected) emergency call to this building is accounted for through property taxes paid on the property. No new or upgraded fire protection facilities would be required as a result of establishment of this business on this property and no physical impacts resulting from construction of new facilities are identified. Police Protection. No Impact. The City of Poway contracts with the San Diego County Sheriffs Department for their services in law enforcement. The project site is currently served by the Poway Station, which is located at 13100 Bowron Road, approximately 1.2 miles north of the project site. Similar to discussion for Item XIV.a, above, the site was included within the Sheriffs service area. Any specific service provided should there be an (unexpected) emergency call to this building is accounted for through property taxes paid on the property. No new or upgraded police protection facilities would be required as a result of establishment of this business on this property and no physical impacts resulting from construction of new facilities are identified. Schools. No Impact. The project does not include any residential uses and would not result in the addition of new residents to the City. As a result, there are not project - related changes to school facilities or increase the need for school services. No impact would occur. Parks. No Impact. As stated above, the project would not include any residential uses and is not expected to result in the addition of new residents to the City. Project implementation would not require new or physically altered facilities (see also Item XV, below for discussion of use effects). No impact would occur. Other Public Facilities. No Impact. As stated above, the project would not include any residential uses and is not expected to result in the addition of new residents to the City. Therefore, no impact on other public facilities is identified. XV. RECREATION a) No Impact. As stated in Item XIV.a, the project would not include any residential uses and is not expected to result in the addition of new residents to the City. As such, the project would not increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parks. Additionally is important to note the project involves the provision of a recreational use. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. The project does not propose the construction or expansion of recreational facilities. Please also see Item XV.a. No impact would occur. XVI. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC a) No Impact. The SPSP identifies permitted uses, and uses that are permitted subject to a CUP or Minor CUP, for properties in the Light Industrial land use designation area. Automobile repair uses are permitted with a CUP. The range of trips generated for the 22 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 various allowable uses identified in the SPSP, including automobile repair, based on a building size of 18,000 square feet are shown in the following table. ALLOWABLE USES AND ADT FOR THE PROJECT SITE Trips per Building Average SANDAG Land Use 1,000 Square Daily Trips Square Feet Feet (ADT) Manufacturing 4 18,000 72 Warehousing 5 18,000 90 Research Services 8 18,000 144 Auto Repair 20 18,000 360 Building Material /Lumber Yard 30 18,000 504 Athletic and Health Club 30 18,000 504 As shown above, the range of ADT for uses associated with the project site are from 72 ADT to 504 ADT. The potential project ADT from this auto repair business are expected to be 360 which is within the ADT maximum for the other allowed uses per the SPSP. Thus, the project would be in compliance and no conflicts with an applicable plan, ordinance, or policy establishing measures of effectiveness for the performance of the circulation system would occur. No roadway or traffic improvements or land use changes that would conflict with adopted plans, ordinances, or policies regarding other modes of transportation, including mass transit or pedestrian and bicycle paths, would occur. b) No Impact. The SANDAG Congestion Management Program (CMP) is intended to determine if a large project (greater than 2,400 ADT or more than 200 AM or PM peak hour trips) would adversely impact the CMP transportation system. A CMP analysis is not required for this project because the project is expected to generate fewer than 2,400 ADT and fewer than 200 AM or PM peak hour trips. The CMP system includes Scripps Poway Parkway, which provides access to the business park and the project; however, the project is calculated to generate less than the aforementioned thresholds, thus a CMP analysis is not required. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The project site is not located within an Airport Influence Area. Therefore, operation of the project would not result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that would result in substantial safety risks. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. The project would not include the modification of any roadways or intersections, and thus, would not result in a substantial increase in hazards due to a design feature or incompatible uses. No impact would occur. e) No Impact. The project would not involve any roadway or traffic improvements, land use changes, or changes to the existing facilities that would result in inadequate emergency access. All materials would be stored inside the building. Emergency access lanes within the parking area would be kept open and available for emergency vehicle use. No impact would occur. f) No Impact. As discussed in Item XVI.a, no roadway or traffic improvements or land use changes that would conflict with adopted plans, policies, or programs regarding public transit, 23 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 bicycle, or pedestrian facilities, or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities, are associated with the business. No impact would occur. XVII. UTILITIES /SERVICE SYSTEMS a) No Impact. The project site is developed within an existing business park, which is already approved for sewage treatment of its uses at buildout. Because the project would not involve the construction of facilities that would generate additional sewage, it would not require the construction or expansion of any wastewater facilities or exceed applicable wastewater treatment requirements. Adequate wastewater treatment facilities and services are in place to serve current and future uses at the project site. No impact would occur. b) No Impact. See Item XVll.a for a discussion of the adequacy of wastewater treatment facilities. Adequate water treatment facilities and services are in place to serve uses at the project site (per the South Poway Planned Community Development Plan; Poway 1985a). Establishment of an indoor shooting range would not require or result in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities. No impact would occur. c) No Impact. The business is located within a building and business park previously designed and constructed with the appropriate storm water system for light industrial use, per the requirements of the City of Poway and the County of San Diego. A drainage system capable of handling and disposing all surface water originating within the project site, and all surface waters that may flow onto the project from adjacent lands was constructed when the site was developed. Operations of the project would not put pressure on the storm water system or require alterations to the existing system. No impact would occur. d) No Impact. The business is located within a building and business park previously designed and approved for a broad variety of uses. Water availability for that complete suite of uses was reviewed as part of the South Poway Planned Community Development Plan Final EIR (Poway 1985b) and Subsequent Final EIR (Poway 1988). Elements related to the provision of water service for the business park, including site - specific hook -ups, as well as availability of regional water facilities, were addressed in the Final EIR. Anticipated use by this new business located in an existing building is consistent with the approved project and, therefore, already incorporated into analyzed demand. No new water entitlements would be required. No impact would occur. e) No Impact. The business is located within a building and business park previously designed and approved for a broad variety of uses. Wastewater treatment capacity within the Poway Business Park was reviewed as part of the South Poway Planned Community Development Plan Final EIR (Poway 1985b) and Subsequent Final EIR (Poway 1988). Elements related to the provision of wastewater treatment service for the business park, including site - specific hook -ups, as well as availability of regional water treatment facilities, were addressed in the Final EIR. Anticipated use by this business locating within an existing building is consistent with the approved project and, therefore, already incorporated into analyzed demand. No impact would occur. f) No Impact. The project site is located within a building and existing business park that has been accounted for with regard to solid waste generation in the South Poway Planned Community Development Plan Final EIR (Poway 1985b) and Subsequent Final EIR (Poway 1988). Thus, the project would be served by a existing waste disposal facility with sufficient capacity and no impact is identified. f) No Impact. The new business appropriately separates its business waste so that recyclables and controlled wastes are separated from landfill trash in accordance with the City's waste reduction and recycling program. The project would comply with all federal, state, and local 24 EIS and Checklist CUP 15 -009 regulations related to solid waste, including the California Integrated Waste Management Act. No impact would occur. XVIII. MANDATORY FINDING OF SIGNIFICANCE: a) No impact. See responses V.a -d. b) Less than significant impact. See responses Vll.a, and Xll.a. c) Less than significant impact.
