01-18-2011 -. 1 • City of West Covina Memorandum AGENDA TO: City Manager and City Council ITEM NO. 12. FROM: Jeff Anderson DATE: January 18, 2011 Acting Planning Director SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 10-01 ZONE CHANGE NO. 10-01 NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT APPLICANT: Ahmad Ghaderi - Ashdon Development LOCATION: Northeast Corner of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and staff recommends that the City Council adopt the following resolutions: 1) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 0 WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, CERTIFYING THE NEGATIVE I " I DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 10-01, ZONE CHANGE NO. 10-01, PRECISE PLAN NO. 10-02, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 10- 02, AND VARIANCE NO. 10-02 PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT OF 1970, AS AMENDED 2) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO.10-01 The Planning Commission and staff further recommends that the City Council introduce the following ordinance: 3) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING ZONE CHANGE NO. 10-01 DISCUSSION: On August 24, 2010, the Planning Commission approved a precise plan and conditional use permit for the development of a gasoline service station facility including a car wash, convenience store, food service, a drive -through window, and office space, and also recommended approval of the General Plan amendment and zone change. For more detailed information, please refer to the Planning Commission staff report (Attachment 4). The request is to change the General Plan designation of the property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way (vacant lot) from "Open Space" (O- S) to "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" (S-C) to allow the development of the service station facility. The "S-C" Zone allows for development of retail service or similar type uses. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a zone change to "Service Commercial" (S-C) to allow for the development of an auto service station facility that would include a self-service car wash and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast-food use. Because the property is located on a. high traffic volume arterial street and is of limited size the subject property is not an ideal site for a park or open space. It is staff s belief that changing the zone to "Service Commercial" is appropriate and will allow the property to be improved and maintained.

The building includes a 2,340-square foot second floor and a 4,965-square foot first floor. The lot is currently undeveloped and is 92,729 square feet in size. The applicant proposes to subdivide the first floor of the building into three tenant spaces including: a food mart, food take out, and a fast food restaurant with a drive -through. The site is located at the northeast corner of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way directly adjacent to the Big League Dreams Sports Park. Two 26-foot high geo grid retaining walls are proposed along the easterly property line. The proposed retaining walls will match the style of retaining walls currently located throughout the Heights Retail Center and Big League Dreams Sports Park. Additionally, a twelve -foot wide deceleration lane to allow vehicles into and out of the subject site is proposed along the Azusa Avenue frontage. The deceleration lane allows for vehicles to enter and exit the subject property without conflicting with through traffic. The two-story building is proposed to be contemporary in style and provide a variety ' of articulation in building surfaces. Stone veneer (Chardonnay "Southern Ledgestone") columns are provided throughout front and side elevations of the building. The fagade design will include smooth finish stucco and architectural cornice molding along the raised parapets. The exterior of the building will include a mixture of beige and tan colored smooth stucco cement plaster. Decorative square accents with revels are proposed along the front and side elevations. Rod - supported metal "Curved Trellises" are proposed on the front elevation of the first floor and on the second floor of the building. The proposed self-service car wash building includes stone veneer columns with a wood trellis over the parking area along the front of the car wash building. The fagade design and exterior of the building includes a mixture of beige and tan colored smooth stucco cement plaster that is consistent with the adjacent convenience store building. The project also includes a conditional use permit for a service station, convenience store, fast food use, carwash, and drive through. Environmental Review The project requires a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The environmental consulting firm of ESA prepared the MND as well as the Post Closure Development Environmental Impact Report closing the BKK Landfill, and the Big League Dreams City Park, Sports Complex and Commercial. Retail Center Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Big League Dreams SEIR). The MND concluded less than significant impacts caused by the proposed project. The public review period for the Negative Declaration ran from August 4, 2010 through August 24, 2010. On September 15, 2010, staff received a letter from the Department of Fish and Game responding to the MND (Attachment 13). In order to address issues raised in the Department of Fish and Game letter, it is recommended that the mitigation of the Biological Resources section be amended in the draft MND to address their comments. Changes recommended to those mitigations are provided in Attachment 11 and include the following: 1. Requiring a qualified biologist to conduct a breeding bird survey to determine if protected species have nests in the vicinity; and 2. Recommending that coastal sage scrub vegetation be removed prior to February 1 or after September 1 to avoid impacts to the birds or nests. On January 6, 2011, staff sent a response letter (Attachment 12) to the Department of Fish and Game indicating the potential impacts to coastal California gnatcatcher were mitigated to less -than - significant level under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Commissioner Stewart expressed concerns regarding the potential noise impacts from the carwash and adequate parking. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Commission voted 5-0 to approve the precise plan and conditional use permit as well as to recommend approval of the General Plan amendment, zone change, and Mitigated Negative Declaration to the City Council. In approving the project, the primary reasons cited by the Planning Commission included improvement to the area and the addition of well designed and attractive buildings that would be an asset to the surrounding community. The Commission therefore acted to approve the proposal. FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated building valuation for the new office building is $969,106. The property tax is equal to 1 percent of the assessed valuation. The City's portion of that assessment is approximately $9,691 annually.

If construction cannot be Fish and Game inspection delayed until after the nesting season, within 15 days of site clearing, a qualified Planning biologist shall conduct a preconstruction, Department breeding bird survey. The biologist must be qualified to determine the status and stage of nesting by breeding birds without causing intrusive disturbance. This survey shall include species protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The survey shall cover all reasonably potential nesting locations on or closely adjacent to the project site. If an active nest is confirmed by the biologist, no construction activities shall occur within at least 300 feet of the nesting site until the end of the breeding season when the nest has failed or the young have fledged. CDFG will be notified of the identification of active nests and will be consulted regarding resumption of construction activities. If feasible, coastal sage scrub vegetation will be removed prior to February 1 or after September 1 to eliminate potential bird nesting sites in the proposed disturbance zone and to avoid direct impacts on breeding birds and bird nests, including the coastal California gnatcatcher. Cultural Cease. Work if Subsurface Cultural Planning On -site. Resources Resources are Discovered During Department, construction Ground -Disturbing Activities. If a cultural Building inspection resource is encountered, all activity in the Division vicinity of the find shall cease until it can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist, defined as one meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification ZACase Files\PP\2010\10-02 AAA PAD Service Station Car Wash\CC\CC Resos\CC Neg Dec Reso.doc City Council Resolution No• • Mitigated Negative Declaration for GPA 10-01, ZC 10-01, PP 10-02, CUP 10-02, Var. 10-02 January 18, 2011 — Page 3 Standards for archaeology.

All work in the immediate vicinity of the unanticipated discovery shall cease until the qualified archaeologist has evaluated the discovery, or the treatment plan has been implemented. Prior to the issuance of grading permits a qualified paleontologist shall be retained and approved by the lead agency to monitor all ground -disturbing activity. The duration and timing of monitoring shall be determined by the qualified paleontologist in consultation with the lead agency and based on the grading plans. Initially, all ground -disturbing activities shall be monitored. However, if, during the course of monitoring, the paleontologist can demonstrate that the level of monitoring should be reduced, the paleontologist, in consultation with the lead agency, may adjust the level of monitoring to circumstances as warranted. If a potentially significant fossil is found, the paleontologist shall be allowed to temporarily divert or redirect grading and excavation activities in the area of the exposed fossil to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage. Any fossils encountered and recovered shall be catalogued and donated to a public, non- profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Accompanying notes, maps, and photographs shall also be filed at the repository. Following the completion of the above tasks, the paleontologist shall prepare a report documenting the absence or discovery of fossil resources on -site.

The project consists of a zone change requesting to change the zone from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C). Findings necessary for approval of a zone change are as follows: a. There are changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective to warrant other or additional zoning. b. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value or precedent and will not be detrimental to the area. C. A change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance of the public health, safety, and general welfare. d. The approval of such a change of zone will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan so adopted by the City. The approval of such a zone change is consistent with the General Plan or applicable specific plans. 4. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, a NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT has been prepared indicating that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect due to mitigating measures. WHEREAS, based on the evidence, both oral and documentary, the City Council finds as follows: a. The proposed zone change facilitates the development of an auto service station that would include a self-service car wash and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast food use. The proposed development will be consistent with the neighboring retail uses to the south of the subject site. The existing zoning restricts the property to open space uses. The Master Plan of Streets designates South Azusa Avenue as a six -lane "Principal Arterial". The street is designed to accommodate high traffic volumes. Surrounding land uses include natural habitat to the north, retail uses to the south, single-family residences to the west of the subject property and Big League Dreams Sports Park to the east of the site. b. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect adjoining property value and will not be detrimental to the area because the property is adjacent to commercial/entertainment uses on the east and south. The proposed development is a gas station development that has been designed to be sensitive to neighboring single-family properties in terms of setbacks, architectural treatment and privacy issues. Residential uses are separated from the subject property by the 6-lane Azusa Avenue and residential uses a higher in elevation from the subject property. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area in that the subject property is located in an area with other commercial retail service oriented developments. The subject use is separated from residential uses to the west by a principal arterial and by topography. d. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect the General Plan as consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Map will be maintained through the proposed General Plan amendment. The concurrent General Plan amendment allows for developments of service retail uses. e. The approval of such zone change is consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of "Service and Neighborhood Commercial." That proposed land use designation allows for service retail developments. The proposed retail Z:\Case Files\PP\2010\10-02 AAA PAD Service Station Car Wash\CC\CC Resos\CC ORD ZC Reso.doc Resolution No. 0 Zone Change No. 10-01 January 18, 2011 - Page 3 designation allows for convenience retail uses. There are no specific plans that affect the property. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the . City of West Covina, California, does resolve as follows: SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence presented, and the findings set forth, the above Zone Change No. 10-01 is hereby found to be consistent with the City's General Plan and the land uses permitted within said zone classification. SECTION NO. 2: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, the project is a General Exemption (Section 15061 (b) (3)) in that the proposed Specific Plan will not have a significant effect on the environment and any future development of the property would be in compliance with CEQA. SECTION NO. 3: The Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council that it approve Zone Change No. 10-01, changing the zoning designation for subject property as set forth on Exhibit A, and amending the Zoning Map of the City of West Covina.

DESCRIPTION OF APPLICATION The project consists of a request for a General Plan amendment to change the designation from "Open Space" to "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" and a zone change application to change the designation from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C). A precise plan is proposed to construct a gasoline service station facility including a car wash, convenience store, food service, a drive -through window, and office space. A conditional use permit is proposed for the operation of a service station, and accessory uses. In addition, a variance has been requested to deviate from code requirements, including off - site signage. The site is 2.1 acres and is currently vacant. The project requires the granting of the following entitlements: (1) A General Plan amendment to change the General Plan land use designation from "Open Space" to "Service and Neighborhood Commercial". (2) A zone change from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C). (3) A precise plan for the development of a auto service station facility including a car wash, convenience store, food service, a drive -through window, and office space. (4) A conditional use permit for the operation of a service station, car wash and drive -through facility, convenience store and fast food use. (5) A variance to deviate from the code requirements regarding off -site signage. The proposed variance was noticed as part of the review of this item. However, the applicant is continuing to work with City staff to develop a freestanding sign that meets the applicant's needs and allows for future signage to advertise uses within the former BKK property (such as Big League Dreams). For that reason, the variance for signage will not be considered at this public hearing. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt resolutions recommending to the City Council Certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact and recommending approval of General Plan Amendment No. 10-01 and Zone Change No. 10-01, and approving Precise Plan No. 10-02, and Conditional Use Permit No. 10-02. Variance No. 10-02 should be held over to allow the applicant to work with City staff.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The initial study prepared and noticed for the project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines and disclosed that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project's design and as conditions of approval to reduce impacts on the environment to a less than significant level. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended. A traffic study and air quality report were prepared for the project. Traffic Study A traffic study (dated June 10, 2010) was prepared for the project by Kimley-Horn and Associates. The traffic study analyzed the - intersections of South Azusa Avenue including Giambi Way, East Francisquito Avenue, and Amar jRoad to determine if the proposed project would result in any potential significant traffic impacts. The study concludes that the project is not expected to result in a significant weekday peak hour traffic impacts. The analysis supports the following conclusions and recommendations: • The project consists of a gas station with a food mart, related office space and 6 fueling stations, an automated carwash, a fast food restaurant with drive-thru, and a fast food without a drive through totaling approximately 9,000 square feet at the corner of South Azusa and Giambi Lane (formerly the BKK Landfill Access Road). The site is proposed to include 30 parking spaces, including 2 disability spaces. The site requires only 29 parking spaces based upon the City's code requirement. Access to the site is proposed via two driveways on Azusa Avenue with right turn in and right turn out access only,- and one driveway on Giambi Lane with full access. • Bus stops are located south of the site near the Amar Road intersection, from the site. The area is well served by Foothill Transit routes. The project is estimated to generate approximately 141 new trips in the a.m. peak hour, 123 new trips in the p.m. peak hour and 1,828 daily trips. These numbers represent a reduction from "pass -by" trips during the peak commute hours, because the proposed development includes mixed -use retail and a fast-food restaurant. • Three intersections along South Azusa Avenue were analyzed as part of this traffic impact analysis. The project is not anticipated to result in any significant weekday peak hour traffic impacts. • Site plan modifications are suggested to improve access and on -site circulation. Twelve -foot wide deceleration lanes and acceleration lanes are being proposed at the driveways so that turning vehicles into and out of the site would not conflict with northbound through traffic on South Azusa Avenue. Air Quality According to the Air Quality Study prepared by ESA, the construction and operation emissions are below significant regional thresholds. The proposed construction activities would occur independently of the retail center operational activities. The project would not contribute substantially to regional or local air pollution problems in the area. The project will require asphalt surface removal, grading and construction, which creates the potential for the generation of fugitive dusts (particulates), which may impact the surrounding properties. Mitigation measures are required to include wetting down soils, chemical ZACase Files\PP\2010\10-02 AAA PAD Service Station Car Wash\STAFF REPORT 8.24.10.doc FPA 10-01, ZC 10-01, PP 10-02, *0-02, Var. 10-02I Northeast Corner of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way August 24, 2010 - Page 3 stabilization of unattended construction areas, planting vegetative ground cover as soon as possible on construction sites, and physically covering all trucks hauling dirt, sand, or other loose materials to and from the site.

V. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The project consists of a request for a precise plan to allow for the construction of a 9,646- square foot auto service station facility that would include a self-service car wash and -a two- story convenience store building with office space and space for fast food use on a 92,729- ZACase Files\PP\2010\10-02 AAA PAD Service Station Car Wash\STAFF REPORT 8.24.10.doc GPA 10-01, ZC 10-01, PP 10-02, 010-02, Var. 10-02 Northeast Corner of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way August 24, 2010 - Page 4 square foot lot (2.13 acres). The site is currently a vacant lot. A precise plan is required for the architecture and site layout of the proposed gasoline service station facility. The applicant is also requesting the approval of conditional use permit for the operation of a service station, and associated uses. General Plan Amendment The applicant is requesting the approval of a General Plan amendment to change the existing land use designation from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" (S-C). Surrounding General Plan land use designations include "Low Medium Residential" to the west, "Parks" to the east, "Open Space" to the north and "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" to the south. A commercial center is located to the south, natural habitat (Coastal Sage Scrub) located to the north, single-family residences are located to the west, and Big League Dreams Sports Park is located east of the project site. The proposal is to change the General Plan designation of the property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way (vacant lot) from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" (S-C) to allow the development of a service station facility. Zone Chance The property is located between Azusa Avenue and the West Covina Big League Dreams Sports Park. The property is currently zoned "Open Space". Allowed uses in the "Open Space" Zone are natural areas and parklands. The applicant is requesting a zone change to "Service Commercial" (S-C) to allow for the development of a service station facility. The properties located to the north are currently zoned °"'Open Space" "Planned Community Development No. 1" (PCD-1) to the west, "Open Space" (O-S) to the east, while the properties to the south are zoned "Service Commercial" (S-C). The "S-C" Zone allows for development of retail service or similar type uses. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a zone change to "Service Commercial" (S-C) to allow for the development of an auto service station facility that would include a self-service car wash and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast-food use. Because the property is located adjacent to a variety of service retail uses, the subject property is not a feasible site for a park or natural area. It is staff s belief that changing the zone to "Service Commercial" is appropriate and will allow the property to be improved and maintained. Precise Plan As stated, the project consists of a request for a precise plan to allow for the construction of a gas station facility that would include a 2,340-square foot self-service car wash facility, and a 7,305-square foot two-story building. The building would include a 2,340-square foot second floor and a 4,965-square foot first floor. The lot is currently undeveloped and is 92,729 square feet in size. The applicant proposes to subdivide the first floor of the building into three tenant spaces including: a food mart, food take out, and a fast food restaurant with a drive -through. A precise plan is required for the architecture and site layout of the proposed service station facility. The site is located at the northeast corner of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Way directly adjacent to the Big League Dreams Sports Park. The street abutting the site (Azusa Avenue) will be fully improved with sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. Surrounding land uses include natural habitat open space to the north, retail uses to the south, single-family residences to the west and Big League Dreams Sports Park to the east of the site. Site Layout The proposed two-story building is located on the southeasterly corner of the subject property, and the car wash facility is located on the northeast corner of the site.

A drive -through for a fast - ,food restaurant (Del Taco) is proposed to wrap around the two-story building. The applicant is proposing two 26-foot high geo grid retaining walls along the easterly property line. The retaining walls are proposed 20 feet apart. The proposed retaining walls will match the style of retaining walls currently located throughout the Heights Retail Center and Big League Dreams Sports Park. The project includes landscape areas around the perimeter of the property and in locations around the new building. Two trash enclosures with decorative metal roofs are proposed for the project. The trash enclosures will be located between the proposed two- story building and the car wash facility. Two driveway approaches are proposed on South Azusa Avenue and one approach on Giambi Way. A twelve -foot wide deceleration lane to allow vehicles into and out of the subject site is proposed along the Azusa Avenue frontage. The deceleration lane allows for vehicles to enter and exit the subject property without conflicting with through traffic. The proposed driveways will accommodate circulation through the site. The Master Plan of Streets designates South Azusa Avenue as a six -lane "Principal Arterial". The street is designed to accommodate high traffic volumes. Architecture The proposed development will be visible from the surrounding area, including surrounding streets and buildings. The project consists of the construction of an auto service station facility that would include a self-service car wash building and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast food use. The facade design will include varying roof heights. Parapet heights range from 20 feet to 35 feet in height on the front elevation. The building roof is 15 feet for the first floor to 29 feet for the second floor. Stone. veneer (Chardonnay "Southern Ledgestone") columns are provided throughout' front and side elevations of the building. The facade design will include "Sandcastle Tan" smooth finish stucco architectural cornice molding along the raised parapets. The exterior of the building will include a mixture of beige, and tan colored smooth stucco cement plaster. Decorative square accents with revels are proposed along the front and side elevations. Rod -supported metal "Curved Trellises" are proposed on the front elevation of the first floor and on the second floor of the building. Custom wall light fixtures provide accent lighting against the building at night. The storefront entryway will have aluminum bronze anodized framing with clear glass. On the front elevation, sign areas are proposed. This will allow tenants to install channel letter signs. As stated, the project includes a self-service car wash building. The parapet height is 16 feet in height. Stone veneer (Chardonnay "Southern Ledgestone") columns are provided throughout front elevation of the building as well as the wood trellis columns proposed over the parking area along the front of the car wash building. The facade design and exterior of the building will include a similar mixture of beige and tan colored smooth stucco cement plaster as the adjacent convenience store building. Additionally, the front (westerly side) of the car wash building will have aluminum bronze anodized framing with clear tempered. safety windows. Landscaping The applicant is proposing a total of 9,672 square feet of landscaping on the site. The proposed landscaping represents 10 percent of the overall site area. The Municipal Code requires that a minimum of eight percent of the area of commercially -zoned sites be landscaped. Landscaping proposed around the sides of the building will serve to soften the aesthetic appearance of the building from the street. The perimeter of the lot will be landscaped with trees and shrubs to act as a buffer along the perimeter of the site. A final landscape and irrigation plan are required per the conditions of approval.

The study examined current weekday and weekend average and peak period traffic generation at subject site. For the purposes of evaluating traffic impacts, the Trip Generation Manual, 8th Edition 2008 (Handbook) prepared by the Institute of Traffic Engineers GTE) was utilized. Restaurant and Gasoline Station land use categories were used to estimate traffic for the service station facility. STANDARD New AM Peak Hour Trips New PM Peak Hour Trips Total New Vehicle Trips Proposed Retail Building 141 Trips 123 Trips 1,828 Trips The Traffic Study found that the proposed auto service station facility, resulted in 1,828 daily trips, 141 weekday a.m. peak -hour trips and 123 weekday p.m. peak -hour trips. The study concludes that the proposed project will not result in any significant weekday peak hour traffic impacts. Parking The Zoning Code requires a total of 30 parking spaces for the proposed service station facility based on retail and office occupancy. The proposed two-story service station building includes retail food service and a convenience store on the first floor and an office on the second floor. The Municipal Code requires one parking space for every 250 square feet of floor area for retail businesses (4,965 / 250 = 20). Office uses requires one parking space for every 300 square feet of gross floor area (2,340 / 300 = 8). The applicant is proposing 30 parking spaces in compliance with parking requirements. Conditional Use Permit for a Service Station Convenience Store Fast Food Use Carwash A conditional use permit is required for the operation of the gas station and car wash. Based on communications from the applicant, the hours of operations of the car wash will be from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week. The applicant proposes that the service station and convenience store will be open for a 24-hour period. To facilitate the car wash operation of the proposed service station facility, two "stacking lanes" are proposed at the entrance of the car wash facility on the north end of the car wash. The stacking lanes at the beginning of the car wash will accommodate at least three cars. Parking spaces located in front of the carwash building can be used to dry cars. A condition has been added prohibiting the use of the spaces for carwash use only. The applicant indicated to staff that approximately two employees (in three shifts) would be present at the convenience store; three employees (in two shifts) would be present at one fast food operation; four to five employees (in two shifts) at the other fast food operation, and one employee for the car wash. During the day, as many as ten to eleven employees would be on -site. As noted above, the gas station and convenience store would be open 24 hours a day. The car wash is intended to be a self-service operation. An attendant will be available to help customers. The carwash facility allows customers the option to vacuum or wash their car. Based on the number of stacking and drying spaces, the facility is not expected to result in an overflow of vehicles onto other areas of the site or onto the adjacent streets. The project, however, has been conditioned to retain all of the car wash vehicles on the site within the stacking area in front of the car wash or within the drying area.

The applicant is proposing that the drive through operate 24-hours a day. However, the interior of the fast-food restaurant would be opened 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Friday through Sunday. The entrance to the drive - through is located at the northerly entrance of the site located at Giambi Way. The drive - through aisle can accommodate stacking of up to 6 vehicles at a time within the subject property. The applicant has indicated that the average number of vehicles queuing for a Del Taco is four. This will help to prevent vehicle queuing into the parking lot and should not place a burden on traffic circulation. The proposed drive -through is located approximately 250 feet from the nearest residential development. While the Municipal Code includes standards for drive -through facilities, the standards generally deal with noise impacts to nearby residential development and landscaping to buffer the residential development. The proposed drive -through complies with all requirements of the code. Conclusion The proposal requests approval of an auto service station facility that would include a self-service car wash, aconvenience store, fast food use (with drive -through), and second -floor office space. The site layout has been designed to provide circulation between the uses. A deceleration lane is included that allows vehicles entering or exiting the subject property to be removed from fast moving through traffic on Azusa Avenue. The addition of a gas station facility and convenience store will provide more services to the residents and shoppers in the area. The proposed buildings are also designed with a range of building heights as wells as colors and features. The proposed development is consistent with other projects developed on the former BKK property. New landscaping is proposed throughout the site, which complements surrounding development. Parking is provided in compliance of the parking requirements. Staff is recommending approval of the project, as the site layout is appropriate. The applicant has indicated that the service station, convenience store and drive -through window would be open 24-hours a day. They have indicated that the car wash would be open 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and the fast food restaurant interior would be open at 5:00 a.m. and close at midnight on weekdays and 2:00 a.m. on weekends. Staff has only conditioned hours of operation for the car wash. It is staff s opinion that the other uses do not need to be limited as in the other situations in the City, the hours of operation are not limited.. However, all of the uses can be conditioned if the Planning Commission has a concern, as they all require the approval of a conditional use permit.

In addition, a variance has been requested to deviate from code requirements, including off -site signage. Chairman Sotelo opened the public hearing. Planning Associate Ron Garcia presented the staff report. During his presentation, Mr. Garcia told the Commission that when public notification of this matter was mailed, it included the request for a sign variance. However, the applicants were continuing to work out details for the sign with staff and were requesting that Variance No. 10-02 be continued to a date uncertain. Mr. Garcia also commented on the surrounding uses of this property, reviewed the application requests, and spoke about the proposed service station. He told the Commission that it would consist of a two-story building which would house a convenience store, fast-food restaurant and a take-out restaurant with a drive -through window. In addition, there would be. a service station and a carwash located on the site. He also reviewed the proposed design features of the proposed two-story building, store frontage, lighting, and landscaping. Mr. Garcia also commented on the traffic analysis conducted by Kimley Horn and Associates and informed the Commission that the proposed building would be in compliance with parking requirements for the uses. He added that there was an amendment to Condition X of the Conditional Use Permit resolution, saying that the carwash is approved as a self-service carwash and hand -drying shall occur within the drive aisle and not in the parking spaces or back-up space. He also proposed the addition of a condition to the Precise Plan resolution requiring that the project comply with the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 461 for gasoline transfer and dispensing. Commissioner Holtz asked about the uses that are proposed for the drive - through, convenience store and take-out restaurant. Commissioner Stewart asked for a clarification of the number of proposed parking spaces. PROPONENT: Larry S. Turner, Project Manager, stated that he and the applicant had been working with Community Development Commission staff for approximately a year and a half to make sure that the project would be consistent with all standards of the City. He also explained that the acceleration/deceleration lane would help with on -site and off -site circulation. Mr. Turner also commended staff for their helpfulness and professionalism during the planning process. Commissioner Stewart asked Mr. Turner about employee parking. Mr. Turner told the Commission that a bike rack is installed on the premises, and public transportation is readily available and could be used by their employees to get to work. OPPONENTS: Joanne Wilner expressed her opinion that landscaping should be drought resistant, reminded the applicants that the topography of Azusa Avenue was steep and not bicycle - friendly, and asked if this will be an automated carwash, or a do-it-yourself carwash. In addition she stated her concern that the six pump stations/islands could cause heavy traffic. Mrs. Wilner further expressed concern for the safety of drivers who would have to turn left onto Azusa Avenue. In addition, she asked if the sale of alcoholic beverages would be allowed in conjuction with the convenience store, if there will be an elevator to the second floor, what the buildable area of the property is, and what will be located on the second level of the building. Royall,Brown said that he was opposed to this project because a circulation plan for other types of uses wasn't included in the staff report. He also suggested that the public be allowed an additional thirty days to submit their environmental questions, since enforcement of the five -minutes speaker rule doesn't allow sufficient time for comment by the public. Mr. Brown also said that there should be additional conditions requiring safety measures due to the presence of methane gas on the site and encouraged the Commission to deny the application until the conditions to abate the threat of methane gas emmission are included in the staff report. ZAPLANCOMMINUTES\2010 MINUTES\minutes 8.24.10.doc Planning Commission Minutes • Page 3 — August 24, 2010 REBUTTAL: Mr. Turner stated that the bike rack will be used by primarily by employees, but customers would be able to use it as well. He also said that a drought -resistant landscape plan will be required as part of the conditions of approval, per State law. Mr. Turner also explained that the carwash is an automated self -serve carwash, meaning that the vehicles will be placed on a conveyor for cleaning the exterior of the vehicle only. Also regarding the pump islands, he said that there are six islands that can accommodate 12 vehicles total. Mr. Turner added that, since there is a median on Azusa Avenue, left turns would not be allowed into the site. In addition, Mr. Turner said that there would be no beer and wine available for sale at this location in accordance with current Municipal Code. He said that the buildable space on the site was approximately 50% of the lot but this station was below that percentage. The office space on the second floor will not be rented out, but will be used by the business as their private office space. Mr. Turner also said that the traffic circulation report had been discussed and submitted to the city, as well as included in the environment impact report. Further, Mr.. Turner said that there is a membrane and methane -monitoring device included as required by the Fire Department Code. Commissioner Redholtz asked if the driver of the vehicle being washed would stay in the vehicle as it goes throught the carwash. Mr. Turner stated that that is correct. Staff also commented that the methane gas had been addressed in the environmental impact report and included required mitigation measures. Chairman Sotelo closed the public hearing. There was a discussion by the Commission regarding this application. Commissioners Carrico and Stewart expressed their support of the project. However, Commissioner Stewart expressed his continued concern about adequate parking. In addition, he said he was concerned that noise from the carwash might disturb residents. Commissioner Redholtz said he appreciated the development of this site due to the past history of the site. Commissioner Holtz said that he likes the architecture and thinks it will be an asset to the surrounding community. He also asked about the signage.

The project consists of a zone change requesting to change the zone from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service Commercial" (S-C). 3. Findings necessary for approval of a zone change are as follows: ZA\Resos\2010 Resos\10-5375 ZC AAA PAD.doc Planning Commission Resoluti0o. 10-5375 Zone Change No. 10-01 August 24, 2010 - Page 2 a. There are changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective to warrant other or additional zoning. b. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect adjoining property as to value or precedent and will not be detrimental to the area. c. A change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance of the public health, safety, and general welfare. d. The approval of such a change of zone will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan so adopted by the City. e. The approval of such a zone change is consistent with the General Plan or applicable specific plans. 4. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, a NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT has been prepared indicating that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect due to mitigating measures. WHEREAS, based on the evidence, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission finds as follows: a. The proposed zone change facilitates the development of an auto service station that would include a self-service car wash and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast food use. The proposed development will be consistent with the neighboring retail uses to the south of the subject site. The existing zoning restricts the property to open space uses. The Master Plan of Streets designates South Azusa Avenue as a six -lane "Principal Arterial". The street is designed to accommodate high traffic volumes. Surrounding land uses include natural habitat to the north, retail uses to the. south, single-family residences to the west of the subject property and Big League Dreams Sports Park to the east of the site. b. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect adjoining property value and will not be detrimental to the area because the property is adjacent to commercial/entertainment uses on the east and south. The proposed development is a gas station development that has been designed to be sensitive to neighboring single-family properties in terms of setbacks, architectural treatment and privacy issues. Residential uses are separated from the subject property by the 6-lane Azusa Avenue and residential uses a higher in elevation from the subject property. C. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area in that the subject property is located in an area with other commercial retail service oriented developments. The subject use is separated from residential uses to the west by a principal arterial and by topography. d. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect the General Plan as consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Map will be maintained through the proposed General Plan amendment. The concurrent General Plan amendment allows for developments of service retail uses. The approval of such zone change is consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation of "Service and Neighborhood Commercial." That proposed land use designation allows for service retail developments. The proposed retail designation allows for convenience retail uses. There are no specific plans that affect the property.

Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, a MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT has been prepared indicating that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect due to mitigating measures. NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does resolve as follows: 1. On the basis of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: A. The project consists of a request for a precise plan to allow for the construction and operation of a 13,290-square foot gasoline service station facility including a car wash, convenience store, food service, a drive -through window, and office space on a 2.1-acre lot. Additionally, a conditional use permit is required to allow for the operation of a service station, with accessory uses. The property is zoned "Open Space" (O-S) Zone. The applicant is requesting the approval of a General Plan amendment to change the existing land use designation from "Open Space" (O-S) to "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" (S-C). The "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" land use designation in the General Plan specifies, "Shopping centers and other neighborhood and service commercial uses should be compatible with adjacent residential areas." The proposed precise plan is consistent with the General Plan. b. The project proposes the construction of a gasoline service station facility including a car wash, convenience store, food service, a drive -through window, and office space on a 2.1-acre lot. The project includes a gasoline service station facility including a car wash, convenience store, food service, a drive -through, and office space. The project proposes a total of 30 parking spaces. The proposal complies with the requirements of "Service Commercial" '(S-C) Zone. With the approval of the conditional use permit for the proposed gasoline service station Z:\Resos\2010 Resos\10-5376 PP AAA PAD.doc Planning Commission Resolute,o. 10-5376 • Precise Plan No. 10-02 August 24, 2010-Page 3 facility, the proposed project will meet or exceed all „applicable Municipal Code requirements, including but not limited to, parking spaces, landscaping, and building coverage. C. The proposed project will provide a gasoline service station, a car wash, convenience store, office space and speculative food retail spaces and one drive - through restaurant. The site is currently vacant. The proposed project will add to the retail options available to the community. The gasoline service station facility will .include landscaping throughout the site. A conditional use permit for the service station, car wash, convenience store, and drive. -through are being reviewed concurrently and include conditions of approval that; mitigate potential impacts. Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, and welfare and would not unreasonably interfere with the use or enjoyment of property in the vicinity of the subject property. d. The proposed project will include two driveway approaches on South Azusa Avenue and one approach on Giambi Way. Two of the approaches on South Azusa Avenue will include a twelve -foot wide deceleration lane to allow turning vehicles into and out of the subject site to not conflict with northbound through traffic on south Azusa Avenue. The proposed driveways will accommodate circulation through the site., The Master Plan of Streets designates South Azusa Avenue as a six -lane "Principal Arterial". The street is designed to accommodate high traffic volumes. The streets surrounding the site are fully improved with sidewalks, curbs, and gutters. The proposed 7,305-squ6re foot two-story building is located on the southeasterly corner of the subject "property, and the car wash facility is located on the northeast corner of the site, which is currently undeveloped. The proposal includes parking along the front of the buildings. A drive -through for a fast-food restaurant is proposed in the southeast tenant space of the convenience store building. The surrounding land uses include natural habitat open space to the north, retail uses to the south, single-family residences to the west and Big League Dreams Sports Park to the east of the site. The site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the development being proposed, including vehicle access and circulation, utilities, and the absence of physical constraints. e. The proposed development will be visible from the surrounding area, including surrounding streets and buildings. The design and architecture of the proposed building reflect standards and materials that will 'make them architecturally interesting and aesthetically appealing. The fagade design will include varying roof elements. Parapet heights range from 20 feet to 35 feet in height on the front elevation. The building roof is 15 feet for the first floor to 29 feet for the second floor. Stone veneer (Chardonnay "Southern Ledgestone") columns are provided throughout front and side elevations of the building. The fagade design will include "Sandcastle Tan" smooth finish stucco architectural cornice molding along the raised parapets. The exterior of the building will include a mixture of beige, and tan colored smooth stucco cement plaster. Building elevations include a variety of cornice designs on the top of the building. Rod -supported metal "Curved Trellises" are proposed at the entrance of the first floor and on the second floor of the building.

The project shall comply with South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 461 - Gasoline Transfer and Dispensing. ff. Comply with the mitigation measures as outlined in the Initial Study/Environmental Assessment dated August 4, 2010 as follows: 1. Construction of the proposed project should begin prior to or after the nesting season (end of February through May) to prevent any loss of individuals, nests or young that may move onto the site between the time of the last nesting survey and construction. If construction cannot be delayed until after the nesting season, pre - construction surveys within the construction zone shall be conducted by a qualified biologist. If no animals are detected. during these surveys, then construction -related activities would proceed. If adult special -status animals are found within the construction disturbance zone, the project shall stop and notification of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall occur immediately. Construction would not resume until two weeks after the young have fledged. 2. Cease Work if Subsurface Cultural Resources are Discovered During Ground -Disturbing Activities. If a cultural resource is encountered, all activity in the vicinity of the find shall cease until it can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist, defined as one meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology. If the find is determined to be potentially significant, the archaeologist, in consultation with the lead agency and appropriate Native American group(s) (if the find is a prehistoric or Native American resource), shall develop a.treatment plan. All work in the immediate vicinity of the unanticipated discovery shall cease until the qualified archaeologist has evaluated the discovery, or the treatment plan has. been implemented. 3. Prior to the issuance of grading permits a qualified paleontologist shall be retained and approved by the lead agency to monitor all ground -disturbing activity. The duration and timing of monitoring shall be determined by the qualified paleontologist in consultation with the lead agency and based on the grading plans. Initially, all ground -disturbing activities shall be monitored. However, if, during the course of monitoring, the paleontologist Z:\Resos\2010 Resos\10-5376 PP AAA PAD.doc Planning Commission Resolutoo. 10-5376 Precise Plan No. 10-02 August 24, 2010-Page 7 can demonstrate that the level of monitoring should be reduced, the paleontologist, in consultation with the lead agency, may adjust the level of monitoring to circumstances as warranted. If a potentially significant fossil is found, the paleontologist shall be allowed to temporarily divert or redirect grading and excavation activities in the area of the exposed fossil to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage. Any fossils encountered and recovered shall be catalogued and donated to a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Accompanying notes, maps, and photographs shall also be filed at the repository. Following the completion of the above tasks, the paleontologist shall prepare a report documenting the absence or discovery of fossil resources on -site. If fossils are found, the report shall summarize the results of the inspection program, identify those fossils encountered, recovery and curation efforts, and the methods used in these,I efforts, as well as describe the fossils collected and their significance. A copy of the report shall be provided to the County and to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. 4. 'Halt Work if Human Skeletal Remains are Identified During Construction. If human remains are encountered during construction excavation and grading activities, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to- origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner has 24 hours to notify the Native American Heritage Commission. The NAHC will then identify the'person(s) thought to be the Most Likely Descendent of the deceased Native American, who will then help determine what course of action should be taken in dealing with the remains. Per PRC section 5097.98, the landowner shall ensure that the immediate vicinity, according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards or practices, where the Native American human remains are located, is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until the landowner has discussed and 'conferred, as prescribed in this section (PRC 5097.98), with the _most likely descendents regarding their recommendations, if applicable, taking into account the possibility of multiple human remains. 5. The project applicant shall conduct a project specific geotechnical investigation and incorporate into project design relevant specifications from the previous geotechnical investigation for the BKK Landfill closure as well as new specifications resulting from the project specific investigation.

The applicant is requesting approval of a precise plan to approve the design and allow the construction of an auto service station facility and car wash. Additionally, 30 parking spaces are proposed. 5. The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to deviate from the code requirements regarding off site signage. 6. Findings necessary for approval of a conditional use permit are as follows: a. That the proposed use at the particular location is necessary or desirable to. provide a service or facility that will contribute to the general well being of the neighborhood or community. b. That such use will not, under the circumstances of the particular case, be detrimental to the health, safety, peace or general welfare or persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. C. That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and is so shaped as to accommodate said use, as well as, all yards, spaces, walls, fences, parking, loading, landscaping, and any other features necessary to adjust said use with the land and uses in the neighborhood and make it compatible thereto. d. That the site abuts streets and highways adequate in - width and improvements to carry traffic generations typical of the proposed uses and the street patterns of such a nature exist as to guarantee that such generation will not be channeled through residential areas on local residential streets. e. That the granting of such conditional use pen -nit will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City, or any other adopted plan of the City. 7. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental- Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, a MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT has been prepared indicating that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect due to mitigating measures. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina as follows: 1. Approval of this conditional use pen -nit is contingent upon, and shall not become effective unless and until approval of General Plan Amendment No. 10-01 and Zone Change No. 10-01, and certification of the Negative Declaration of Enviromnental lrnpact by the City Council. 2. On the basis of evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the Planning Commission makes the following findings for approval of a conditional use permit:. a. The project proposes to construct an auto service station facility that would include a self-service car wash and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast food use. The building design will include "Sandcastle Tan" smooth finish stucco architectural cornice moldings. The exterior of the building will include a mixture of beige and tan colored smooth stucco cement plaster. Building elevations include a variety of cornice designs on the top of the building and rod -supported metal "Curved Trellises" at the front of the building. The project will therefore provide a service station with a convenience store food service use, office, and car wash., Z:\Resos\2010 Resos\10-5377 CUP AAA PAD.doc r r Planning Commission R utlon No. 10-5377 Conditional Use Permit No. 10-02 August 24, 2010 - Page 3 Two driveway approaches are proposed on South Azusa Avenue and one approach on Giambi Way. The two of the approaches on South Azusa Avenue will include a 12-foot wide deceleration lane to allow vehicles turning into and out of the subject site to not conflict with northbound through traffic on South Azusa Avenue. The proposed driveways will accommodate circulation through the site. The Master Plan of Streets designates South Azusa Avenue as a six -lane "Principal Arterial". The street is designed to accommodate high traffic volumes. b. The proposed project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, peace or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity due to its location within a commercial area, and the general compatibility of the project with the surrounding area. The site consists of a corner lot and has two street frontages. The proposed service station, convenience store, drive -through food service, office and car wash is located adjacent to a commercial area and will not negatively impactsurrounding land uses. The project has been designed in conjunction with the minimum requirements of the Engineering Division, Building Division, and Fire Department. C. The project proposes to construct an auto service station that would include a self-service car wash and a two-story convenience store building with office space and space for fast food use. The establishment of the gas station, convenience store with food service, office and car wash will not increase parking demand beyond the proposed parking supply. The Municipal Code requires one parking space per 250 square feet for the convenience store/fast food area and one parking space per 300 square feet for office. The applicant is proposing 30 parking spaces in compliance with parking requirements. d. Two driveway approaches are proposed on South Azusa Avenue and one approach on Giambi Way. A 12-foot wide deceleration lane is proposed to allow for vehicles turning vehicles into and out of the subject site to not conflict with northbound through traffic on South Azusa Avenue. The proposed driveways will accommodate circulation through the site. The Master Plan of Streets designates South Azusa Avenue as a six -lane "Principal Arterial". The street is designed to accommodate high traffic volumes.. Both streets are designed to accommodate high traffic volumes. Given the location of the property within a commercial area, the project will not result in traffic being chatuleled through residential areas on local residential streets. e. The 'proposed use is consistent with the "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" designation of General Plan. The project meets the stated General Plan goal of "providing for a range of non-residential uses that will ensure a strong economic base for the City." 2. That the approval of the conditional use permit is subject to the following conditions: a. Approval of this conditional use pen -nit is contingent upon, and shall not become effective unless and until approval of General Plan Amendment No. 10-01 and Zone Change No. 10-01, and certification of the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact by the City Council.. b.

If construction cannot be delayed until after the nesting season, pre -construction surveys within the construction zone shall be conducted by a qualified biologist. If no animals are detected during these surveys, then construction -related activities would proceed. If adult special -status animals are found within the construction disturbance zone, the project shall stop and notification of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall occur immediately. Construction would not resume until two weeks after the young have fledged. PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURE: Mitigation Measure BIO-la: Construction of the proposed project shall begin prior to or after the nesting season (end of February through August) to prevent any loss of individuals, nests or young that move onto the site between the time of the last nesting survey and construction. If construction cannot be delayed until after the nesting season, within 15 days of site clearing, a qualified biologist shall conduct a preconstruction, breeding bird survey. The biologist must be qualified to determine the status and stage of nesting by breeding birds without causing intrusive disturbance. This survey shall include species protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The survey shall cover all reasonably potential nesting locations on or closely adjacent to the project site. If an active nest is confirmed by the biologist, no construction activities shall occur within at least 300 feet of the nesting site until the end of the breeding season when the nest has failed or the young have fledged. CDFG will be notified of the identification of active nests and will be consulted regarding resumption of construction activities. Mitigation Measure BIO-lb: If feasible, coastal sage scrub vegetation will be removed prior to February 1 or after September 1 to eliminate potential bird nesting sites in the proposed disturbance zone and to avoid direct impacts on breeding birds and bird nests, including the coastal California gnatcatcher.

This comment is noted as part of the administrative record for this project. No additional response is required. Comment 2: Commenter cites the applicable California Fish and Game, Code, CEQA Public Resource Code, and the Departments permitting authority as a Responsible Agency under the California Endangered Species Act. This comment is noted as part of the administrative record for this project. No additional response is required. Comment 3: Commenter summarizes the intent of the Department's California Wildlife Action Plan and CDFG's willingness to work with the City to minimize potential impacts to natural resources. This is comment noted and has been forwarded to the decision -makers for their consideration. No additional response is required. Comment 4: Commenter describes the potential impacts to existing coastal sage scrub from proposed grading activities and previous documentation that allowed for removal of this habitat. The existing conditions of the project site are recognized and potential impaets to California gnatcatcher (CAGN) are acknowledged. Protocol surveys for CAGN are suggested in addition to adding breeding bird surveys during the native nesting bird season (February 1 through September 1) to mitigation measure BIO-1. In addition to the documents cited by Commenter, the City of West Covina is subject to a Conceptual Habitat Management Mitigation and Monitoring Plan (dated May 29, 2003 and revised on June 12, 2008). This Plan was prepared to support the City's CDFG Section 1602 Streambed Alteration Agreement (5-256- 00); the Corps Section 404 Permit (1991582100-MDC); the Regional Water Quality Control Board Section 401 Water Quality Certification (00-048) and the US Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion (FWS-LA-3074.2). This Plan was specifically for development of the "West Covina Sportsplex," which includes, not only a sportsplex, but other commercial, recreational and office uses.. The Plan sets aside 24 acres of coastal sage scrub for preservation in return for the permanent removal of 6.5 acres of coastal sage scrub in the northwest comer of the site to allow grading required for the sportsplex and its environs. The project site is outside of that habitat conservation area. Triple A Pad Project -1 7- ESA/0210226 Response to CDFG Letter October 2010 Preliminary - Subject to Revision to CDFG Letter On September 29, 2016, an ESA biologist visited the project site to assess the existing conditions at the site and to evaluate the potential for sensitive biological resources to be present and potentially impacted by construction activities associated with the proposed project. Based on this assessment, ESA confirmed that previously removed coastal sage scrub has re-established on the westerly - facing slopes located between the Big League Dreams Sports Complex to the east and the project site. The re-emergent coastal sage scrub appears to have been irrigated (due to the presence of an above -ground irrigation system) and is dense, with no bare ground exposed between plants. The coastal sage scrub and a small area of ornamental landscaping on the upper portion of the slopes provide 100 percent vegetation cover of the westerly -facing slope. The vegetation within the re-emergent coastal sage scrub is dominated by California brittlebush (Encelia californica) with less dominant plants consisting of deerweed (Lotus scoparius), coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis), giant rye grass (Leymus condensatus), and mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia). During the site visit, it was confirmed that no riparian features, including wetland and natural drainages are present on or adjacent to the project site, and no potential wildlife migration corridors are present in the general area. Dense urban development and surface streets exists in the general area. The portion of the existing BKK Landfill that was actively used for fill in the past is approximately one -quarter of a mile to the east of the project site where California gnatcatcher (CAGN) were recorded in 2002, and Galster Wilderness Park, located a little'over one-half mile to the northeast. Galster Wilderness Park contains several acres of coastal sage scrub vegetation that has the potential to provide suitable habitat for CAGN. Nonetheless, CAGN are not expected to be present within the re-emergent coastal sage scrub on the project site primarily because of the following reasons: 1) the area is too narrow and too exposed to adjacent urban land uses that include: Azuza Avenue, a busy thoroughfare, approximately 130 feet to the west; Giambi Road to the south, beyond which is a congested commercial shopping center; and the Sports Complex to the north and northeast, which is active and noisy while in use; 2) CAGN typically nest in coastal sagebrush dominant or co -dominant vegetation with between 20 and 60 percent vegetation cover with an inter -shrub gap of 153 to 176 cm (Mock, P. 2004); and 3) CAGN prefers nesting in areas with less than 40 percent slope gradient historically (Mock, P. 2004). The following mitigation measures have been added to avoid potential impacts to CAGN and other breeding birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Fish and Game Code: • Within 15 days of site clearing, a qualified biologist shall conduct a pre - construction, breeding bird survey. The biologist must be qualified to determine the status and stage of nesting by breeding birds without causing intrusive disturbance. This survey shall include species protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The survey shall cover all reasonably potential nesting locations on or closely adjacent to the project site. • If an active nest is confirmed by the biologist, no construction activities shall occur within at least 300 feet of the nesting site until the end of the breeding Triple A Pad Project ESA / 0210226 Response to COFG Letter October 2010 Preliminary — Subject to Revision Chapter or Section 71tie season when the nest has failed or the young have fledged. CDFG will be notified of the identification of active nests and will be consulted regarding resumption of construction activities. • If feasible; coastal sage scrub vegetation will be removed prior to February 1 or after September 1 to eliminate potential bird nesting sites in the proposed disturbance zone and to avoid direct impacts on breeding birds and bird nests, including the coastal California gnatcatcher. As a result, the following changes to the text of the Triple A Pad Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration: (Revised or new language is underlined; deleted language is indicated by stf text.)

Mitigation Measure BIO-lb: If feasible, coastal sage scrub vegetation will be removed prior to February 1 or after September 1 to eliminate potential bird nesting sites in the proposed disturbance zone and to avoid direct impacts on breeding birds and bird nests including the coastal California gnatcatcher. Comment 5: Commenter recommends (where applicable) conducting a thorough analysis of rare plants and natural communities, wildlife, and nearby areas that are considered sensitive by the local jurisdiction. The biological assessment conducted on September 29, 2010 by an ESA biologist confirmed that the project site does not contain any sensitive biological resources Triple A Pad Project -1 9- ESA / D210228 . Response to CDFG Letter Ocloher2010 Preliminary - Subject to Revision i to CDFG Letter and none are present in the immediate vicinity. The slopes covered with coastal sage scrub do not provide gaps between plants to allow understory plants to grow. Therefore, no special -status plants that have been recorded in the region are expected to occur in this area. Moreover, no sensitive wildlife species are expected to occur within the coastal sage scrub due to adjacent land uses and surrounding conditions described in Response 5 above. With the exception of the removal of the re-emergent coastal sage scrub, no other impacts would occur to biological resources. Comment 6: Commenter cites CEQA Guidelines, Section 15125(a) and 15130 and suggests that project impacts be analyzed relative to their effects on off -site habitats and populations, migratory wildlife, including birds protected under the MBTA; and fuel modification related impacts on habitat. A discussion of the biological resources found on and adjacent to the project site, as well as those that exist in the general region is provided in detail in the BKK Landfill EIR. The existing conditions of the project site have been described in the DMND, which includes a brief discussion of the biological resource setting of the project site. Based on the recent assessment conducted by an ESA biologist on September 29, 2010, no sensitive wildlife species are expected to occur within the coastal sage scrub due to adjacent land uses and surrounding conditions described previously in Response S. With the exception of the removal of the re - .emergent coastal sage scrub, no other impacts would occur to biological resources. Moreover, the additional mitigation measures described in Response 5 would reduce potential impacts to breeding birds and coastal California gnatcatcher to a level of less than significant. Comment 7: Commenter suggests that a range of alternatives be evaluated that would avoid or otherwise minimize impacts to sensitive biological resources. Commenter goes on to state that CDFG considers Rare Natural Communities as threatened habitats that should be fully avoided, and that CDFG does not support relocation, salvage, and/or transplantation as mitigation for impacts to special -status species. As described on page 24 of the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, the project site is part of a January 1996 Stipulated Judgment that allowed grading of approximately 9.3 acres of coastal sage scrub located along Azusa Avenue (on the western boundary). (See also, Response to Comment 4, above.) Around 2006, the site was completely graded to construct the sports complex east and uphill of the project site. A Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat Conservation Area has been successfully established along the westerly -facing slopes north of the project site. This conservation area has already mitigated the loss of the coastal sage scrub habitat that currently,exists on the project site. The amended mitigation measures would avoid direct impacts on breeding birds, including the coastal California gnatcatcher; therefore, the proposed project would not result in any adverse impacts to sensitive biological resources. Triple A Pad Project -20- ESA / D210226 Response to CDFG Letter October 2010 Preliminary -Subject to Rev/s/on ' Chapter or section Title Comment 8: Commenter specifies that an Incidental Take Permit from CDFG may be required if the proposed project would result in "take" and any species protected by CESA. As described in Responses 5 through 9, above, no impacts to special -status species would occur from the implementation of the proposed project. Comment 9: Commenter states that CDFG opposes the elimination of watercourses, such as drainages and wetlands, and that CDFG has regulatory authority with regards to activities occurring in stream and/or lakes that could adversely affect any fish or wildlife resources. There are no riparian features or potential drainage features that would fall under the jurisdiction of the Department on or adjacent to the project site. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in any impacts to riparian resources. Comment 10: Commenter notes that an attached map illustrates past observation locations of sensitive species in the general area of the project site and provides a useful tool . for evaluation of potential sensitive biological resources in'the area. This comment is noted as part of the administrative record for this project. Please also see Response to Comments 4 and 5.

Project, CEQA -201 M643-0000-R5 Dear Mr. Garcia. - The Department of Fish and Game (Department) has reviewed the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (DMND) for a 2.13-acre proposed development to build a 9,646-square foot gas station facility plus 9,672 square feet of landscaping. The proiect is located on the northeast comer of the intersection of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Lane in West Covina. The project site is located along the periphery of the former BKK Landfill. The proposed project would require an amendment to the General Plan to change the General Plan land use designation from Open Space to Service and Neighborhood Commercial. The Department is California's Trustee Agency for fish and wildlife resources, holding these resources in trust for the People of State pursuant to various provisions of the California Fish and Game Code (Fish & G. Code; §§ 711.7, subd. (a), 1802.)..The Department submits these comments in that capacity under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (See generally Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21070; 21080.4.). Given its related permitting authority under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA) and Fish and Game Code section 1600 at seq., the Department also submits these comments likely as a Responsible Agency for the Project under CEQA (Id., § 21069.). The California Wildlife Action Plan, a recent Department guidance document, identified the following stressors affecting wildlife and habitats within the project area: 1) growth and development; 2) water management conflicts and degradation of aquatic ecosystems; 3) invasive species; 4) altered fire regimes; and 5) recreational pressures. The Department looks forward to working with the City of West Covina to minimize impacts to fish and wildlife resources with a focus on these stressors. Please let Department staff know if you would like a copy of the plan to review. The project site is part of a January 1996 Stipulated Judgment that allowed grading of approximately 9.3 acres of coastal sage scrub located along Azusa Avenue, In 2006, this site was completely graded to construct the sports complex east and uphill of theproject site. Following completion of the sports complex, coastal sage scrub_ has re-established at the project site and along the hillside adjacent to the sports complex and adjacent to the eastern boundary of the project site. The proposed project would require new grading and could result in removal Of coastal sage scrub within the grading footprint.

Biological mitigation measure B16-1 states that construction shall begin prior to or after the nesting season (end of February through May). The Department recommends using native bird nesting season dates of February 1 through September 1 and for the mitigation measure to include bird nest surveys to minimize impacts to all migratory birds as well as the non -migratory coastal California gnatcatcher. Please refer to the information below for more details. To enable Department staff to adequately review and comment on the proposed project we recommend the following information, where applicable, be considered during finalization of the DMND, 1. A complete, recent assessment of flora and fauna within and- adjacent to the project area, with particular emphasis upon identifying endangered, threatened, and locally unique species and sensitive habitats (Attachment 1, Plant Survey Protocol). a. A thorough recent assessment of rare plants and rare natural communities, following the Department's Guidelines for Assessing Impacts to Rare Plants and Rare Natural Communities. b. A complete, recent assessment of sensitive fish, wildlife, reptile, and amphibian species. Seasonal variations in use within the project area should also be addressed. Recent, focused, species -specific surveys, conducted at the appropriate time of year and time of day when the sensitive species are active or otherwise identifiable, are required. Acceptable species -specific survey procedures should be developed in consultation with the Department and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. c. Endangered, rare, and threatened species to address should include all those species which meet the related definition under the CEQA Guidelines. (See Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15380.) d_ The Department's Biogeographic Data Branch in Sacramento should be contacted at (916) 322-2493 (www.dfq.ca.gov/biocieodats) to obtain current information on any previously reported sensitive species and habitats, including Significant Natural Areas identified under Chapter 12 of the Fish and Game Code. Also, any Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs) or'Environmentally Sensitive Habitats (ESHs) or any areas that are considered sensitive by the local jurisdiction that are located in or adjacent to the project area must be addressed. 2. A thorough discussion of direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts expected to adversely affect biological resources, with specific measures to offset such impacts. This discussion should focus on maximizing avoidance, and minimizing impacts. a. CEQA Guidelines, Section 15125(a), direct that knowledge of the regional setting is critical to an assessment of environmental impacts and that special emphasis should be placed on resources that are rare or unique to the region. b. Project impacts should also be analyzed relative to their effects on off -site habitats and populations. Specifically, this should include nearby public lands', open space, adjacent natural habitats, and riparian ecosystems. Impacts to and maintenance of wildlife corridor/movement areas, including access to undisturbed habitat in adjacent areas are of concern to the Department and should be fully evaluated 'and provided. The analysis Uti. 1010 10:19 FA`t 180584671420 Mr. Ron Garcia September 15, 2010 Page 3 of 5 DFG R5 Southcoast Regio� should also include a discussion of the potential for impacts resulting from such effects as. increased vehicle traffic, outdoor artificial lighting, noise and vibration. c.. A cumulative effects analysis should be developed as described under CEQA Guidelines, Section 15130. General and specific plans, as well as past, present, and anticipated future projects, should be analyzed relative to their impacts on similar plant communities and wildlife habitats. d. Impacts to migratory wildlife affected by the project should be fully Evaluated including proposals to remove/disturb native and ornamental landscaping and other nesting habitat for native birds. Impact evaluation may also include such elements as migratory butterfly roost sites and neo-tropical bird and waterfowl stop -over and staging sites. All migratory nongame native bird species are protected by international treaty under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) of 1918 (50 C.F.R, Section 10.13). Sections 3503, 3503.5 and 3513 of the Califomia Fish and Game Code prohibit take of birds and their active nests, including raptors and other migratory ribngame birds as listed under the MBTA. e- Impacts to all habitats from City or County required Fuel Modification Zones (FMZ). Areas slated as mitigation for loss of habitat shall not occur within the FMZ. Proposed project activities (including disturbances to vegetation) should take place outside of the breeding bird season (February 1- September 1) to avoid take (including disturbances which would cause abandonment of active nests containing eggs and/or young). If project activities cannot avoid the breeding bird season, nest surveys should be conducted and active nests should be avoided and provided with a minimum buffer as determined by a biological monitor (the Department recommends a minimum 500-foot buffer for all active raptor nests). 3. A range of alternatives should be analyzed to ensure that alternatives to the proposed project are fully considered and evaluated. A range of alternatives which avoid or otherwise minimize impacts to sensitive biological resources including wetlands/riparian habitats, alluvial scrub, coastal sage scrub, should be included. Speck altemative locations should also be evaluated in areas with lower resource sensitivity where appropriate. a. Mitigation measures for project impacts to sensitive plants, animals, and habitats should emphasize evaluation and selection of alternatives which avoid or otherwise minimize project impacts. Compensation for unavoidable impacts through acquisition and protection of high quality habitat elsewhere should be addressed with off -site mitigation locations clearly identified. b- The Department considers Rare Natural Communities as threatened habitats having both regional and local significance. Thus, these communities should be fully avoided and otherwise protected from project -related impacts (Attachment 2). c. The Department generally does not support the use of relocation, salvage, and/or transplantation as mitigation for impacts to rare, threatened, or endangered species. Department studies have shown that these efforts are experimental in nature and largely unsuccessful- U.y;15;'LG10 10:19 FAX 16584674299 GFG R5 Southcoast Rey Z 004i015 Mr. Ron. Garcia • September 15, 2010 Page 4 of 5 4. An Incidental Take Permit from the Department may be required if the Project, Project construction, or any Project -related activity during the life of the Project will result in take," as defined by the Fish and Game Code, of any species protected by CESA (Fish & G. Code, §§86, 2080, 2081, subd. (b), (c).). Early consultation with Department regarding potential permitting obligations under CESA with respect to the Project is encouraged (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 783.2, subd. (b),), It is imperative with these potential permitting obligations that the DMND prepared by the City of West Covina in the present case includes a thorough and robust analysis of the potentially significant impacts to endangered, rare, and threatened species, and their habitat, that may occur as a result of the proposed Project_ For any such potentially significant impacts the City of West Covina should also analyze and describe specific, potentially feasible mitigation measures to avoid or substantially lessen any such impacts as required by CEQA and, if an ITP is necessary, as required by the relevant permitting criteria prescribed by Fish and Game Code section 2081, subdivisions (b) and (c). The failure to include this analysis in the Project Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) could preclude the Department from relying on the City of West Covina's analysis to issue an ITP without the Department first conducting its own, separate Lead Agency subsequent or supplemental analysis for the Project (See, e.g_, Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15096, subd. (0; Pub. Resources Code, § 21166.).. For these reasons, the following information is requested: a. Biological mitigation monitoring and reporting proposals should be of sufficient detail and resolution to satisfy the requirements for a CESA Permit. b. A Department -approved Mitigation Agreement and Mitigation Plan are required for plants listed as rare under the Native Plant Protection Act_ 5. The Department opposes the.elimination of watercourses (including concrete channels) and/or the canalization of natural and manmade drainages or conversion to subsurface drains. All wetlands and watercourses, whether intermittent, ephemeral, or perennial, must be retained and provided with substantial setbacks which preserve the riparian and aquatic habitat values and maintain their value to on -site and off -site wildlife populations. The Department recommends a minimum natural buffer of 100 feet from the outside edge of the riparian zone on each side of drainage. a. The Department also has regulatory authority with regard to activities occurring in streams and/or lakes that could adversely affect any fish or wildlife resource. For any activity that will divert or obstruct the natural flow, or change the'bed, channel, or bank (which may include associated riparian resources) or a river or stream or use material from a streambed, the project applicant (or "entity") must provide written notification to the Department pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game "Code. Based on this notification and other information, the Department then determines whether a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (LSA) is required, The Department's issuance of an LSA is a project subject to CEQA. To facilitate issuance of an LSA, if necessary, the MND should fully identify the potential impacts to the lake, ,stream or riparian resources and .provide adequate avoidance, mitigation, monitoring and reporting commitments for issuance of the LSA. Early consultation is recomm®ndsd, since modification of the proposed project may be required to avoid or reduce impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Again, the failure to include this analysis in the Project MND could preclude the Department from relying on the City of West Covina's analysis to issue an LSA without the Department first conducting its own, separate Lead Agency subsequent or supplemental analysis for the Project_ Oy;.1b/2010 10:20 FAQ 18584674290 Mr. Ron Garcia September 15, 2010 Page 5 of 5 OFG R5 Southcoast Regio0 005./015 Department staff review of this project included the use of the Department's California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB). This database allows spatial review of sensitive biological resources that have been reported in the past to the CNDDB staff. The attached map (Attachment 3) illustrates past observation locations of sensitive species in the general area of the proposed project and as such is a useful tool to evaluate potential sensitive biological resources on the project site. These observations do not represent the current status of sensitive biological resources in the area as CNDDB data is provided only by site specific projects and hence the entire map area has not been surveyed. Site specific surveys should be conducted in the manner described above, as needed. Thank you for this opportunity to provide comments.

The purpose of these protocols is to facilitate a consistent and systematic approach to the survey and assessment of special status native plants and natural communities so that reliable information is produced and the potential of locating a special status plant species or natural community is maximized. They may also help those who prepare and review environmental documents determine when a botanical survey is needed, how field surveys may be conducted, what information to include in a survey report, and what qualincations to consider for surveyors. The protocols may help avoid delays caused when inadequate biological information is provided during the environmental review process; assist lead, trustee and responsible reviewing agencies to make an informed decision regarding the direct, indirect, and cumulative effects of a proposed development, activity, or action on special status native plants and natural communities; meet California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)2 requirements for adequate disclosure of potential impacts; and conserve public trust resources. DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME TRUSTEE AND RESPONSIBLE AGENCY MISSION The mission of the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is to manage California's diverse wildlife and native plant resources, and the habitats upon which they depend, for their ecological values and for their use and enjoyment by the public. DFG has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary to maintain biologically sustainable populations (Fish and Game Code §1802). DFG, as trustee agency under CEQA §15386, provides expertise in reviewing and commenting on environmental documents and makes protocols regarding potential negative impacts to those resources held in trust for the people of California. Certain species are in danger of extinction because their habitats have been severely reduced in acreage, are threatened with destruction or adverse modification, or because of a combination of these and other factors_ The California Endangered Species Act (CESA) provides additional protections for such species, including take prohibitions (Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.). As a responsible agency, DFG has the authority to issue permits for the take of species listed under CESA if the take is incidental to an otherwise lawful activity; DFG has determined that the impacts of the take have been minimized and fully mitigated; and, the take would not jeopardize the continued existence of the species (Fish and Game Code §2081). Surveys are one of the preliminary steps to detect a listed or special status plant species or natural community that may be impacted significantly by a project. DEFINITIONS Botanical surveys provide information used to determine the potential environmental effects of proposed projects on all special status plants and natural communities as required by law (i.e., CEQA, CESA, and Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA)). Some key terms in this document appear in bold font for assistance in use of the document. For the purposes of this document, special status plants include all plant species that meet one or more of the following criteria:: This document replaces the DFG document entitled "Guidelines for Assessing the Effects of Proposed Projects on Rare, Threatened and Endangered Plants.and Natural Communities." h ttp://cares. ca _g ov/ceq a/ Adapted from the East Alameda County Conservation Strategy available at hhQ'//4 v vs aov/Sacramento/EACC;S/Documents/oB0226 Species Evaluation EA CS D& Survey Protocols Page 1 of 7 u`a; +id: '%OlU lU:2U FAX DFG R5 Southcoast Reg 008i015 • Listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered under ESA or candidates for possible future listing as threatened or endangered under the ESA (50 CFR §17.12). Listed" or candidates for listing by the State of California as threatened or endangered under CESA (Fish and Game Code §2050 et seq.). A species, subspecies, or variety of plant is endangered when the prospects of Its survival and reproduction in the wild are in immediate jeopardy from one or more causes, including loss of habitat, change in habitat, over -exploitation, predation, competition, disease, or other factors (Fish and Game Code §2062). A plant is threatened when it Is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future in the absence of special protection and management measures (Fish and Game Code §2067). Listed as rare under the California Native Plant Protection Act (Fish and Game Code §1900 et seq_), A plant is rare when, although not presently threatened with extinction, the species, subspecies, or variety is found in such small numbers throughout its range that it may be endangered if its environment worsens (Fish and Game Code §1901). • Meet the definition of rare or endangered under CEQA §15360(b) and (d). Species that may meet the definition of rare or endangered include the following: + Species considered by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) to be "rare, threatened or endangered in California" (Lists 1A, I and 2); • Species that may warrant consideration on the basis of local significance or recent biological informations; • Some species included on the California Natural Diversity Database's (CNDDB) Special Plants, Bryophytes, and Lichens List (California Department of Fish and Game 2006)". • Considered a locally significant species, that is, a species that is not rare from a statewide perspective but is rare or uncommon in a local context such as within a county or region (CEQA §15125 (c)) or is so designated in local or regional plans, policies, or ordinances (CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G). Examples include a species at the outer limits of its known range or a species occurring on an uncommon soil type. Special status natural communities are communities that are of limited distribution statewide or within a county or region and are often vulnerable to environmental effects of projects. These communities may or may not contain special status species or their habitat. The most current version of the Department's List of Califomia Terrestrial Natural Communities' indicates which natural communities are of special status given the current state of the California classification. Most types of wetlands and riparian communities are considered special status natural communities due to their limited distribution in Califomia. These natural communities often contain special status plants such as those described above. These protocols may be used in conjunction with protocols formulated by other aVencies, for example, those developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to delineate -jurisdictional wetlands or by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to survey for the presence of special status plants". Refer to current online published lists available at: http://www.df ° In general, CNPS List 3 plants (plants eboutwhich more Information Is needed) and List 4 plants (plants of limited dlst,lbutlon) may not warrant consideration under CEQA §15360. These plants may be included on special status plant lists such as those developed by counties where they would be addressed under CEQA §15380. List 3 plants may be analyzed under CEQA 91538D if suMclent Information is available to assess potential impacts to such plants. Factors such as regional rarity vs. statewide rarity should be considered In determining whether cumulative Impacts to a Llet 4 plant are significant even if individual project impacts are not. List 3 and 4 plants are also included In the California Natural Diversity Database's (CNDDB) Special Plants, Bryophytes, and Lichens List.

SURVEY OBJECTIVES Conduct field surveys in a manner which maximizes the likelihood of locating special status plant species or special status natural communities that may be present. Surveys should be floristic in nature, meaning that every plant taxon that occurs on site is identified to the taxonomic level necessary to determine rarity and listing status. "Focused surveys" that are limited to habitats known to.support special status species or are restricted to lists of likely potential species are not considered floristic in nature and are not adequate to Identify all plant taxa on site to the level necessary to determine rarity and listing status. Include a list of plants and natural communities detected on the site for each botanical survey conducted. More than one field visit may be necessary to adequately capture the floristic diversity of a site. An indication of the prevalence (estimated total numbers, percent cover, density, etc.) of the species and communities on the site is also useful to assess the significance of a particular population. SURVEY PREPARATION Before field surveys are conducted, compile relevant botanical information in the general project area to provide a regional context for the investigators. Consult the CNDDB10 and BIOS" for known occurrences of special status plants and natural communities in the project area prior to field surveys. Generally, identify vegetation and habitat types potentially occurring in the project area based on biological and physical properties of the site and surrounding ecoregion", unless a larger assessment area is appropriate. Then, develop a list of special status plants with the potential to occur within these vegetation types. This list can serve as a tool for the investigators and facilitate the use of reference sites; however, special status plants on site might not be limited to those on the list. Field surveys and subsequent reporting should be comprehensive and floristic in nature and not restricted to or focused only on this list. Include in the survey report. the list of potential special status species and natural communities, and the list of references used to compile the background botanical information for the site. SURVEY EXTENT Surveys should be comprehensive over the entire site, including areas that will be directly or indirectly impacted by the project_ Adjoining properties should also be surveyed where direct or indirect project effects, such as those from fuel modification or herbicide application, could potentially extend offsite. Pre -project surveys restricted to known CNDDB rare plant locations may not identify all special status plants and communities present and do not provide a sufficient level of information to determine potential impacts. FIELD SURVEY METHOD Conduct surveys using systematic field techniques in all habitats of the site to ensure thorough coverage of potential impact areas. The level of effort required per given area and habitat is dependent upon the vegetation and its overall diversity and structural complexity, which determines the distance at which plants can be identified. Conduct surveys by walking over the entire site to ensure thorough coverage, noting all plant taxa 10 Available at http://www.dF Ica aov/hloaeodata/cndd6 hISP�/�v bios dfo ca gov/ 12 Ecaloaical Subre LU of Gallfornla available at http://www.fs-fed.US/r5/Prcm8rLs/BcOr8clion§ItOC.htrn Survey Protocols Page 3 of 7 oa;'15/'�G1U 10:21 FAA; 1858467429.9 DFG R5 Southcoast Pegi� G�010/015 observed. The level of effort should be sufficient to provide comprehensive reporting. For example, one person -hour per eight acres per survey date is needed for a comprehensive field survey in grassland with medium diversity and moderate terrain13, with additional time allocated for species identification. TIMING AND NUMBER OF VISITS Conduct surveys in the field at the time of year when species are both evident and identifiable. Usually this is during flowering or fruiting. Space visits throughout the growing season to accurately determine what plants exist on site. Many times this may involve multiple visits to the same site (e.g. in early, mid, and late -season for flowering plants) to capture. the floristic diversity at a level necessary to determine If special status plants are present'0. The timing and number of visits are determined by geographic location, the natural communities present, and the weather patterns of the year(s) in which the surveys are conducted. REFERENCE SITES When special status plants are known to occur in the type(s) of habitat present in the project area, observe reference sites (nearby accessible occurrences of the plants) to determine whether those species are identifiable at the time of the survey and to obtain a visual image of the target species, associated habitat, and associated natural community. USE OF EXISTING SURVEYS For some sites, floristic inventories or special status plant surveys may already exist. Additional surveys may be necessary for the following reasons: • Surveys are not current's; or • Surveys were conducted in natural systems that commonly experience year to year fluctuations such as periods of drought or flooding (e.g, vernal pool habitats or riverine systems); or • Surveys are not comprehensive in nature; or fire history, land use, physical conditions of the site, or climatic conditions have changed since the last survey was conducted'°; or • Surveys were conducted in natural systems where special status plants may not be observed if an annual above ground phase is not visible (e.g. flowers from a bulb); or Changes in vegetation or species distribution may have occurred since the last survey was conducted, due to habitat alteration, fluctuations in species abundance and/or seed bank dynamics. NEGATIVE SURVEYS Adverse conditions may prevent investigators from determining the presence of, or accurately identifying, some species in potential habitat of target species. Disease, drought, predation, or herbivory may preclude the presence or identification of target species in any given year. Discuss such conditions in the report. The failure to locate a known special status plant occurrence during one field season does not constitute evidence that this plant occurrence no longer exists at this location, particularly if_:adverse conditions are present. For example, surveys over a number of years may be necessary if the species is an annual plant' having a persistent, long-lived seed bank and is known not to germinate every year.

To further substantiate negative findings for a known occurrence, a visit to a nearby reference site may ensure that the timing of the survey was appropriate. REPORTING AND DATA COLLECTION Adequate information about special status plants and natural communities present in a project area will enable reviewing agencies and the public to effectively assess potential impacts to special status plants or natural commun..es17 and will guide the development of minimization and mitigation measures. The next section describes necessary information to assess impacts. For comprehensive, systematic surveys where no special status species or natural communities were found, reporting and data collection responsibilities for investigators remain as described below, excluding specific occurrence information. SPECIAL STATUS PLANT OR NATURAL COMMUNITY OBSERVATIONS Record the following information for locations of each special status plant or natural community detected during a field survey of a project site. • A detailed map (1:24,000 or larger) showing locations and boundaries of each special status species occurrence or natural community found as related to the proposed project. Mark occurrences and boundaries as accurately as possible. Locations documented by use of global positioning system (GP5) coordinates must include the datum'' in which they were collected: • The site -specific characteristics of occurrences, such as associated species, habitat and microhabitat, structure of vegetation, topographic features, soil type, texture, and soil parent material. If the species is associated with a wetland, provide a description of the direction of flow and integrity of surface or subsurface hydrology and adjacent off -site hydrological influences as appropriate; • The number of individuals in each special status plant population as counted (if population is small) or estimated (if population is large); • If applicable, information about the percentage of individuals in each life stage such as seedlings vs. reproductive individuals; • The number of individuals of the species per unit area, identifying areas of relatively high, medium and low density of the species over the project site; and. • Digital images of the target species and representative habitats to support information and descriptions. FIELD SURVEY FORMS When a special status plant or natural community is located, complete and submit to the CNDDB a California Native Species (or Community) Field Survey Formti) or equivalent written report, accompanied by a copy of the relevant portion of a 7.5 minute topographic map with the occurrence mapped. Present locations documented by use of GPS coordinates in map and digital form. Data submitted in digital form must include the datumz' in which it was collected. If a potentially undescribed special status natural community is found on the site, document it with a Rapid Assessment or Relev6 form2l and submit it with the CNDDB form, VOUCHER COLLECTION Voucher specimens provide verifiable documentation of species presence and identification as well as a public record of conditions_ This information is vital to all conservation efforts.

Triple A Pad Project Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration ESA / D210226 August 2010 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Introduction Applicant, Ashdon Development, proposes to build an approximately 9,646 square -foot gas station facility that would also include a car wash and a two-story mini -mart with office space and space for a fast food operation; 3,645 square feet of canopy; and over 9,672 square feet of landscaping (proposed project). The 2.13-acre site is locatedonthe northeast corner of the intersection of Azusa Avenue and Giambi Lane in West Covina, next to the Big League Dreams Sports Park, which is east of and adjacent to the project site. The project site is'located along the periphery of the former BKK Landfill[ on Azusa Avenue at the entrance to commercial and recreational development developed_ after the.BKK Landfill closed. The project site is not part of the Class I or Class III landfill and.was,never used for, solid waste disposal. The proposed project would require an amendment to the General Plan to change the General Plan land use designation from Open Space to Service and Neighborhood Commercial, and a rezoning to change the zoning classification from Open Space (O-S) to Service Commercial (S-C). Background The environmental effects of closing the BKK Landfill and post -closure development were analyzed in the BKK Class III Landfill Closure, Postelosure Development Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 98061114) (BKK Landfill EIR) certified in 2000, and the Big League Dreams City Park, Sports Complex and Commercial Retail Center Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Big League Dreams SEIR), certified in 2003. The previously certified EIR and SEIR are available for public review at the City of West Covina Planning Department, City Hall, 1444 West Garvey Avenue, West Covina, CA 91790. This Initial Study (IS) evaluates changes that have occurred since the EIR for the Final Closure Plan (FCP), Final Post -Closure Maintenance Plan (FPCMP), and post closure development, and the Big League Dreams SEIR. The following aspects of the project have not changed and are therefore not evaluated in this IS: • Implementation of the FCP and FPCMP; • Potential development of a public golf course; • Development of the Big League Dreams sports complex; and • Development of a commercial.retail shopping center. t The former BKK landfill site covered approximately 575 acres in an area located in southern West Covina, approximately three milessouth of 1-10. Triple A Pad Project 2 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 Development described4n the Big League Dreams SEIR included construction of a 15,000 square foot restaurant and a 450,000 square foot commercial retail shopping center. Since 2003, the development envisioned in the Big League Dreams SEIR has been modified so that it no longer includes the restaurant. The proposed commercial shopping center described in the Big League Dreams SEIR would, at approximately 340,404 square feet, be 109,596 square feet smaller. In addition, all proposed development for this project would occur on native soils and not on any part of either the Class I or Class III landfills. The proposed project would therefore fit within the commercial development square footage analyzed in the SEIR. Both the EIR and SEIR are program -level documents that include approved mitigation measures pp g that may apply to the proposed project, which lies within the boundaries of the development anticipated by the EIR and SEIR. As a result, this IS provides applicable mitigation measures from the already -certified EIR and SEIR, and adds new mitigation measures when required. Before development at the former BKK Landfill, 24 acres along the western perimeter of the landfill and 1.7 acres in the northeast were occupied by coastal sage scrub. According to a January 1996 Stipulated Judgment, approximately 9.3 acres of coastal sage scrub along Azusa ' Avenue were allowed to be graded. The project site was completely graded in 2008. Although the project site is located within the boundaries of the original 24 acres occupied by coastal sage scrub along the western perimeter the site, it is also located within the 9.3 acres that were permitted to be graded. ' Project Site Location Located approximately 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, West Covina is located in eastern Los Angeles County in the San Gabriel Valley (see Figure 1). Adjacent communities include the cities of Baldwin Park (northwest), Covina (north and northeast), Walnut (southeast) , and La Puente (southwest), and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Interstate 10 (I-10) is aligned along an east -west axis through the northern portion of the City. The project site is located in a hilly area in the south central area of West Covina, on the northeast corner of the intersection of Azusa Avenue and Giam'bi Lane at the former BKK Landfill. Development at the former landfill includes an 18-hole golf course, a sportsplex, and a commercial shopping center. Roadways adjacent to the project site include Azusa Avenue, which is a I10-foot-wide right-of-way that connects State Route 60 (SR 60), and the I-10 and Interstate 210 (I-210) freeways. The east side of Azusa Avenue forms the western boundary of the project site. Giambi Lane is aligned closely with the old landfill entrance and forms the southern boundary of the project site. The northern and eastern boundaries of the project site are formed by undeveloped areas of the former landfill; the site is located at the base of a hillside to the east. Across Azusa Avenue, along its west side, are single-family residences. Giambi Lane is located entirely within the former BKK Landfill site. Adjacent, to the project site to the east (also located 1 Triple A Pad Project 3 ESA / 0210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 u fl 1 11 F', SOURCE: ESRI, 2010. Triple A Pad Initial Study. 210226 ` Figure 1 Project Vicinity J I 1 1 I r�� 17 1 I I I on the former BKK Landfill) on the hill top is the Big Dreams Sportsplex, on land owned by the City. The sportsplex consists of six ball fields, batting cages and a multi -use pavilion that can be used for soccer, ice hockey or multi -uses. South and downhill of the project site (on the former BKK Landfill) js a commercial shopping center with a Target, Home Depot, Fresh & Easy, and a variety of smaller stores, restaurants and fast food businesses. Project Site Characteristics The irregularly -shaped project site is undeveloped and located on a slight incline that slopes from north to south. The northern border extends approximately 63 feet across; while the southern border extends approximately 221 feet across. Its western boundary (parallel to Azusa Avenue) extends for approximately 564 feet, while its eastern boundary consists of the straight line formed between the eastern end of the shorter northern boundary and the eastern end of the longer southern boundary. The 2.13-acre site is currently undeveloped and being used as a staging area by heavy equipment and trucks in use for construction underway in the Azusa Avenue right -of way. The site is located at the base of a hillside to the east; the top of the hillside is occupied by Big League Dreams, a busy sports complex (sportsplex). The site is occupied by vegetation, gravel, piping along the perimeter and vegetation along the edges of the site. Photographs of the site are provided in Section 1, Aesthetics, of this IS. The northern portion of the site abuts a coastal sage scrub habitat. Proposed Project The proposed project consists of construction of a gas station, car wash, and a mini -mart with a drive -through for fast food. Figures 2a and 2b provide a site plan. The project includes other improvements, including retaining walls, groundwater catch basins, and extensive landscaping. A summary of the buildings and gas station canopy, along with other improvements, is provided in Table 1, below.

Located at the southwest side of the project site, the self-service gas pumps would be arranged parallel to Azusa Street. Three underground storage tanks would be located at the site, east of the pumps (see Figure 2b). The tanks would offer gas in three octane levels and would -provide the following capacities: a 20,000-gallon tank for regular fuel; a 12,000-gallon tank for premium fuel; and a 12,000-gallon tank for diesel fuel. Customers would have the option of paying for gas in the mini -mart (described below). Entrance to the site would be provided by two right-iii/right-out driveways along Azusa.Avenue and one driveway along Giambi Lane. The gas station would be available for use 24 hours a day_ A metal canopy would cover the pump area al'a height of approximately 27 feet over a 3,645 square foot area. The City wouldrequire approximately one parking space for every 250 square feet of retail; the project would provide approximately 20 parking spaces related to the first story of the minimart and fast food, operations, 8 spaces for the second -story office area, and 2 spaces related to the fueling station. Store, Offices and Storage The project would include a one-story store with a second floor for office space and storage (see Figures 2a and 2b for the first floor plan). This approximately 7,305 square foot building, at a maximum height of 37 feet, would provide 2,340 square feet of second story space for offices and storage and approximately 4,965 square feet of first floor space for a 24-hour mini -mart and for two fast food operations that would include an eating area. This building would be located east of the fuel pumping area (see Figures 2a and 2b). The fast food operation would include an indoor eating area and a 12-foot wide drive -through (not counted in the square footage) that would begin near the driveway from Giambi Lane on the southern side of the store, and curve around the eastern store fagade. The drive -through would exit along the northern side of the store, in an area east of the fueling stations and south of the car wash. Customers could exit onto Azusa Avenue or turn left and exit onto Giambi Lane. The applicant anticipates that the fast food operation could include a coffee shop and a deli. Approximately 20 parking spaces would be required for the first -floor store and approximately 8 parking spaces would be required for�the second floor, for total of 20 parking spaces for the building. The project would provide a total of 30 parking spaces for the entire project. Car Wash The project would include a 26-foot tall building to house a fully automated, coin -box operated car wash and an equipment room located in the middle of the site (see Figures 2a and 2b). Similar to the -proposed fast food drive -through for the store, customers would use a 12-foot wide entrance.to the car wash that would begin along the southern facade, curve along the eastern elevation side of the building and exit from the car wash on the northern fagade.

Triple A Pad Initial Study. 210226 Figure 2b Proposed Site Plan Detail would use approximately 80 percent to 90 percent recycled water, and would include two 1,500-gallon underground clarifiers to treat car wash wastewater before it is discharged into the City's wastewater system. Hours of operation for the car wash would extend from approximately 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM, depending on the City's requirements. Landscaping The northern portion of the site would be undeveloped and revegetated after trenching for infrastructure improvements. Landscaping would be installed throughout the project site and would include installation of street trees along the project site perimeters, which would include the north side of Giambi Lane and west side of Azusa Avenue and installation of landscaping within a minimum five-foot area along Azusa Avenue_ Parking Summary Table 2, below, describes parking demand and proposed parking by use: TABLE 2 SUMMARY OF PARKING Structure Proposed Uses Required Parking Parking to be Provided Store (first floor) Minimart; fast food 19.9 parking spaces Store (second floor) Office; storage 7.8 parking spacess Fueling Station/Canopy Gas station 2.0 parking spaces Total 30 parking spaces 30 parking spaces (rounded) The total number of parking spaces includes two parking spaces for the disabled. Not included in the total parking spaces is a bike rack that would be installed. Parking is no longer part of the analysis required by CEQA. However, this.information is provided as part of the description of the project. Grading and Retaining Walls The proposed project would require grading. Cuts would be made into the hillside and soil would be exported from the site. The eastern side of the project site includes terrace retaining walls along the curvature of the northern and eastern portions of the site. Street, Sidewalk and Infrastructure Improvements The project includes installation of sidewalk and walkways within the project site, as well as the installation of a five-foot wide sidewalk along Giambi Lane and a ten -foot wide sidewalk along Azusa Avenue. Triple A Pad Project - 9 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration ESA / D210226 August 2010 The proposed project would include a 12-foot wide lane dedication for deceleration and acceleration lanes along Azusa Avenue. Among the infrastructure improvements that would be installed as part of the project are: • A bike rack between the car -wash and the food mart/restaurant; • A 200 square -foot (20 feet'by 10 feet) loading area, located north of the fueling area; • Store and car wash signage (to be approved separately); • On -site and street connections for utilities, including electrical, cable television and internet service, water, storm drain system and traffic signals. • Fourteen -foot tall yard lights, throughout, the project site area, although not within the far northern portion of the project site, which will be left undeveloped. Coastal Sage Scrub Habitat The northern boundary of the project site abuts a coastal sage scrub habitat. The project site would not develop the northernmost portion of the site, and would include fencing to separate the site from -the habitat. ' Construction The proposed project would be constructed in approximately six months, beginning in late October, 2010. Workers, worker parking and construction equipment would be located on -site during the construction period. Employees The applicant indicates that approximately two employees (in three shifts) would be present at the minimart; three employees (in two shifts) at would be present at one fast food operation; four to five -employees (in two shifts), and one employee for the car wash. During the day, as many as ten }" to'eleven_employees would be on -site. As noted above, the gas station and mini -mart would be open 24 hours a day. 1. Discretionary Approvals The proposed project would require the following discretionary approvals: • Review and Approval of the IS and Mitigated Negative Declaration by the Planning Commission; • Approval of the proposed'project by the Planning Commission; • Recommendation for approval of the proposed amendment to the General Plan and rezoning by the Planning Commission; • Approval of the amendment to the General Plan and rezoning by City Council.

AESTHETICS — Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? El E El b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, El but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or ❑ ❑ El quality of the site and its surroundings? d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare El F1 0 El which would adversely affect daytime or nighttime views in the area? Discussion a) Less than Significant. The proposed project would be located on a parcel located within a former landfill, in an area designated by the City for development. Portions of the vegetated hillside along Azusa Avenue near the project site could be, considered scenic but are not designated as scenic by the City. A sports complex with walls facing Azusa Avenue currently occupies an area of the former landfill at a higher elevation, adjacent to and northeast of the project site, along a ridgeline. A large commercial shopping center, with big box tenants, as well as smaller restaurants and shops occupies an area of the former landfill at a lower elevation, downhill of the project site. The project site is tucked into the hillside and is currently barely visible from the commercial shopping center, from where views northward (and uphill) are dominated by the sports complex along the ridge line, the larger hillside, which is heavily vegetated, and the bare soil associated with the former landfill. The project site is not visible from the sports complex. Views of the site from southbound Azusa Avenue would be fleeting. If stopped at the intersection of Giambi Lane and Azusa Avenue, views of the proposed project would be part of the commercial development that has already occurred at the site. The site would be visible from the rear elevations of homes located along the ridge on the west side of Azusa Avenue and set back by a large swath of thick vegetation. However, those views would include the vegetated hillside and the sports complex at the top of the ridge. The proposed gas station would have a less than significant impact on the scenic vistas in the vicinity of the project site. b) No Impact. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) administers the state's Scenic Highway Program. In Los Angeles County, designated scenic highways consist of segments of State Route (SR) 2, Mulholland Highway and Malibu Canyon - Los Virgenes Highway, all of which are a minimum of 50 miles from the project site. The project site includes no trees and no rock outcroppings or other similar scenic features. Triple A Pad Project 12 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 1 1 1 1 I .1 I I 1 1 Ll The project would not substantially damage scenic resources and would therefore have no impact on potential scenic resources. c) Less than Significant. The project site is located in an urbanized area of Southern California, at the northeast corner of the intersection of Giambi Lane and Azusa Avenue, at the base of a hillside at a former landfill: The project site is relatively flat and is undeveloped. Gravel occupies most of the, site, and vegetation is found along the site's perimeter. Shrubs and a monument sign are located at the southwest corner of the site. Figures 3a through 4b provide photographs of the site, which is currently .in use as a staging area for construction in the Azusa Avenue right -of --way. Palm trees are currently located along the perimeter of the site, along Azusa Avenue and Giambi Lane. The proposed project would result in construction of two buildings at the project.site, including a 37-foot tall building that would house a mini -mart and'.'" fast food operations on the first floor and an office/storage area on the second floor. The second building, at 26 feet, would house a car wash and equipment room. The site would include six pumps, as well as landscaping. The architecture would be typical of gas station, mini -marts, with a 27-foot metal,canopy over the fueling area, signage, and lights. This development would change the visual character of the project site by introducing a commercial enterprise characterized by company colors, logos, and structures,'' as well as vehicles and activity. Surrounding land uses include development undertaken as part of the reclamation of the former landfill, including a sports complex (east of the project site), a commercial shopping center (south of the project site) and residential development, separated from the site by extensive vegetation, along.the ridgeline on the west side of Azusa Avenue. Development along the east side of Azusa Avenue, at the former landfill, includes walls, fencing, company store colors, signage, surface parking lots and activity. The proposed project would add to the commercial color, signage, and structures along the western edge of the former landfill. However, views from south of the project site would continue to be dominated by the vegetated hills and the sports complex; and views from the north would be dominated by the hillsides along the east and west side of Azusa Avenue. The proposed project would provide a glimpse of commercial activity that would blend into the background and be immediately followed by the coastal scrub habitat and residential development (north) and commercial development (south). The proposed project includes landscaping and would retain existing palm trees along Azusa Avenue and Giambi Lane. The proposed project would, because of its location near'other commercial land uses, because it is located in a discrete commercial area, and because it would retain existing vegetation, have a less than significant impact on the visual character of the site and its vicinity during project operations.

Figures 4a and 4b Site Photos The "BKK Landfill EIR notes that views of construction activity (mostly from altering the natural ridgeline of the landfill)';from second -story rear windows of single-family homes located west of Azusa Avenue and streets located west of Azusa Avenue on the ridge would be a significant and unavoidable impact of the project. Since that time, commercial activity is now in place permanently and is visible from those windows, and construction impacts related to that site are 'no longer at issue. Construction activity is currently underway within the Azusa Avenue street -right-of-way and the site is being used as a staging area for that construction. The Big League Dreams SEIR discusses potential light and glare along the ridge. For the reasons stated above, the potential impacts to the site and vicinity are less than significant. d) Less than Significant. The proposed project would result in new light and potential glare at the project site. The project would include lights that would be on throughout the night, and the project would involve the use of metal materials, including a metal canopy over the proposed fueling area that could result in glare. during daytime hours. The project site is located in the same viewshedas the sports complex located uphill along the ridgeline. The BKK Landfill EIR includes the following mitigation measure (see page 295): The BKK Technology Center Specific Plan and Landfill and Public Golf Course Specific Plan include the following measures that would reduce the significance- of this impact: • Lighting of all building elements shall be soft, minimal, and indirect if possible. • -Landscape lighting shall be held to a minimum. • Parking Lot lighting.shall be confined within the site boundaries. • Pedestrian ways connecting buildings and parking areas will be lighted to minimum safety standards with point-to-point, rather than uniform, coverage. The Big League Dreams SEIR. includes mitigation measures that were specifically designed for Big League Dreams. These measures are therefore not included. With the implementation of the !,,already -required mitigation measure from the BKK Landfill EIR, no additional mitigation is required and the impact would be less than significant.

AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST RESOURCES — In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. In determining whether impacts to forest resources, including timberland, are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to information compiled by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection regarding the state's inventory of forest land, including the Forest and Range Assessment Project and the Forest Legacy Assessment project; and forest carbon measurement methodology provided in Forest Protocols adopted by the California Air Resources Board. Would the project: a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or El ❑ Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a El ❑ Williamson Act contract? c) Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning Q of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? d) Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of ❑ forest land to non -forest use? e) Involve other changes in the existing environment El El. ❑ which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non-agricultural use or conversion of forest land to non -forest use? Discussion a) No Impact. The project site is located in an unmapped portion of the 2008 map prepared for Los Angeles County by the,Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency. The site is therefore not identified as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. The City of West Covina, in which the project site is located, is an urbanized area and the project site is located at a former landfill. The site is classified by the West Covina General Plan (1985) as Open Space, which allows "the managed production of resources, including, but not limited to, forest lands, rangeland, agricultural lands and areas of economic importance for the production of food or fiber ... However, the project site is located on a former landfill and has never been in use as farmland. The site has also been graded as part of restructuring the topography of the site.•The proposed project would therefore have no impact on Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Triple A PadProject 18 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration - August 2010 b) No Impact. See response to 2(a), above. No property within the City is subject to a Williamson Act contract.

See response to 2(a), above. The project site was part of a former landfill. The landfill has been closed, with portions of the site capped and monitoredfor methane releases. The project site is located in an area of the former landfill that was never used for solid waste disposal and is located within an area that was identified for commercial development. The proposed project could therefore not result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses or theconversion of forest land to non -forest land uses.

AIR QUALITY — Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.

Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial El M number of people? Discussion a) Less than Significant. The project site. is within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), which regulates air quality in the South Coast Air Basin. The proposed project would require a General Plan amendment to change the land use designation from Open Space to Neighborhood Commercial. This project would not directly result in population growth (e.g., housing development, see Section 13, Population and Housing, below). Consequently, implementation of the proposed project would be consistent with the South Coast Air Quality Attainment Plan. b) Less than Significant. Construction Emissions Construction of the project would involve site preparation and clearing, excavation, paving, and construction. Proposed project construction activities would produce criteria pollutant emissions (primarily ROG and NOx) as a result of using heavy-duty construction equipment. Mobile source emissions would also be produced from construction worker vehicle trips to and from the project site. In addition, fugitive dust emissions would be generated from site preparation and excavation activities and vehicle travel on paved and unpaved surfaces. Construction equipment exhaust would also include some PM10 emissions. PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from construction would vary greatly from day to day depending on the level of activity, the equipment being operated, silt content of the soil, and the prevailing Triple A Pad Project 20 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration e ESA / D210226 August 2010 r . rweather. Larger -diameter dust particles (i.e., greater than 30 microns) generally fall out of the atmosphere within several hundred feet of construction sites, and represent more ' of a soiling nuisance than a health hazard. Smaller -diameter particles (e.g., PM10 and PM2.5) are associated with adverse health effects and generally remain airborne until removed from the atmosphere by moisture. Therefore, unmitigated construction dust emissions could result in significant local effects. Criteria pollutant emissions of ROG and NOx from construction equipment and construction worker vehicle trips would incrementally add to regional atmospheric loading of ozone precursors during the construction period. r The proposed project has been analyzed using URBEMIS 2007 version 9.2.4. The results of the analysis are sununarized in Table 3-1.

Operational Emissions Operational emissions include stationary and mobile sources of emissions. URBEMIS2007 estimates mobile emissions from vehicles and stationary -source emissions generated as a result of the fuel combustion of natural gas and landscape ' maintenance. Stationary source emissions generally contribute an insignificant amount to local operational emissions when compared to mobile sources of emissions. Operational emissions are dominated by on -road mobile source emissions. Operational on -road mobile source emissions were calculated using the UR13EMIS2007 model and are presented in Table 3-2. As shown in Table 3-2, operational on -road mobile source emissions would be less than significant., r Triple A Pad Project 21 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 TABLE 3-2 ' UNMITIGATED EMISSIONS FROM OPERATION .

The construction and operational impacts of the proposed project would not exceed SCAQMD thresholds, and therefore would not be expected to, be cumulatively considerable. Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15064(h)(4), the mere existence of significant cumulative impacts caused by other projects alone shall not constitute substantial evidence that the proposed project's incremental effects are cumulatively considerable. Development of the proposed project would not result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant, and would be less than significant. d) Less than Significant. Some population groups, such as children and the elderly, are considered more sensitive to air pollution than others. The project would be constructed near residential areas, particularly the residential development west of Azusa Avenue. Carbon Monoxide Hotspots CO is a localized pollutant of concern. Due to the distance between construction activities and sensitive receptors, construction would not emit CO in quantities that could pose health concerns. Total vehicle trips associated with these operational features would be minimal. Due to the small amount of vehicle trips, the effect of project -related traffic on local CO concentrations, along roadways, and at intersections would also be negligible. Thus, mobile -source emissions of CO would not be anticipated to result in or contribute substantially to an air quality violation. The short-term construction and long-term operational mobile -source impact of the project on .CO concentrations would be less - than -significant. 1 Triple A Pad Project 22 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 , !J I 1 11 1 1 Toxic Air Contaminants Construction of the project would result in short -teen diesel exhaust emissions (DPM), which are toxic air contaminants (TACs), from on -site heavy-duty equipment. Project construction would generate DPM emissions from the use of off -road diesel equipment required for site grading and excavation, and other construction activities. The dose to which sensitive receptors would be exposed is the primary factor used to determine health risk. Dose is a function of the concentration of a substance or substances in the environment and the extent of exposure that person has with the substance. Dose is positively correlated with time, meaning that a longer exposure period would result in a higher exposure level for the maximally exposed individual. Thus, the risks estimated for a maximally exposed individual are higher if a fixed exposure occurs over a longer period of time. According to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), health risk assessments, which determine the exposure of sensitive receptors to toxic emissions, should be based on a 70-year exposure period; however, such assessments should be limited to the period/duration of activities associated with the project. Thus, the duration of the proposed construction activities (approximately six months) would only constitute a small percentage of the total 70-year exposure period;; Furtherniore, construction activities would take place at a distance of 225 feet from the nearest sensitive receptor. DPM from construction activities would not be anticipated to result in the exposure of sensitive receptors to levels that exceed applicable standards. In addition, the long-tenn operation of the project would not result in any non -permitted sources of toxic air emissions. The CARB Land Use Compatibility Handbook recommends a 50-foot separation between typical gas dispensing'facilities and sensitive receptors. As a result, exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial toxic air emissions from the project would be less than significant. e) Less than Significant. Types of land uses that typically pose potential odor problems include agriculture, wastewater treatment plants, food processing,and rendering facilities, chemical plants, composting facilities, landfills, waste transfer stations, and dairies. In addition, the occurrence and severity of odor impacts depend on numerous factors, including the nature, frequency, and intensity of the source; wind :speed and direction; and the presence of sensitive receptors. Although offensive odors rarely cause any physical harm, they can still be very unpleasant, leading to considerable distress and often generating citizen complaints to local governments and regulatory agencies. No part of the project would create odors at nearby sensitive receptors. Therefore the project in reference to odors would be less than significant.

The project site is located along South Azusa Avenue, the busiest roadway in West Covina, which at the project site consists of six lanes (three northbound and three southbound). Immediately south of the project site, across Giambi Lane, is a commercial shopping center that includes a home improvement center and other big box retail, as well as smaller shops and restaurants. Uphill and immediately east of the project site is a busy sports complex. As a part of the grading completed for the sports complex, the project site was completely graded and is undeveloped. No trees currently grow on the project site, although there are palm trees along the perimeter of the site in the public right-of-way that would be untouched by the project. The project site is not part of an established native resident or migratory wildlife corridor. The project site has no wetlands. As a result, the proposed development of the site would have no impact on local trees. The project site, is part of a January 1996 Stipulated Judgment that allowed grading of approximately 9.3 acres of coastal sage scrub located along Azusa Avenue (on the western boundary) (City of West Covina, 2000). In approximately 2006, this site was Triple A Pad Project 24 ESA / D210226 ..Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 J 1 1 11 1 i completely graded to construct the sports complex east and uphill of the project site. Following completion of the sports complex, coastal sage scrub has re-established itself at the project site and along the hillside (west) adjacent to the sports complex and adjacent to the eastern boundary of the project site. The project site would require new grading and could result in removal of coastal sage scrub within the grading footprint. Coastal sage scrub provide habitat for federally threatened c oastal California gnatcatcher. As a result, implementation of Mitigation Measure BIO-I would be required. Although a similar measure is.included in the BKK Landfill EIR, Mitigation Measure 13I0-1 is a more project -specific measure. Implementation of BIO=1 would'reduce potential impacts to the c oastal California gnatcatcher to a less -than -significant impact. Mitigation Measure BI0-1: Construction of the proposed project shall begin prior to or after the nesting season (end of February through May) to prevent any loss of individuals, nests or young that may move onto the site between the time of the last nesting survey and construction. If construction cannot be delayed until after the nesting season, pre -construction . surveys within the construction zone shall be conducted by a qualified biologist. If no animals are detected during these surveys, then construction -related activities would proceed. If adult special -status animals are found within the construction disturbance zone, the project shall stop and notification of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall occur immediately. Construction would'not resume until two weeks after the young have fledged. The impact of the project on other potential biological resources are discussed in 4(a) through 4(d), above, and 4(f), below. Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant. f) Less than Significant. The project site abuts a well-known coastal sage scrub habitat north of the project site. The proposed project would not travers&br interfere in any way with the habitat. The project includes a northern buffer of over 200 feet in which some construction activities would take place. However, the proposed project would not encroach upon the coastal sage scrub habitat. As a result, potential impacts to California gnatcatcher would be less than significant.

Other'sources reviewed included the California Points of Historical Interest (PHI), the California Historical Landmarks (CHL)', the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), the California State Historic Resources Inventory (HRI), and historic maps (1894 Pomona 15' USGS topographic map, 1927 Puente 6' USGS map,.1953 Baldwin Park US'GS.map). The results ,of this search indicated that no archaeological or built historic resources have been recorded within one-half mile of the project area. There are no properties listed on the California Points of.Historical Interest, California Historical Landmarks, the California, Register of Historical Resources, or the National Register of Historic Places within a one -half -mile radius of the proposed project. Five cultural resource studies have been _conducted within one-half mile of the project area. None of these studies involved the project area. An additional 14 studies have been conducted in the, general area, but are unmapped. A Sacred Lands File search for the project area was requested from the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) in June, 2010; however, no response has been received to date. A reconnaissance survey of the project area was conducted on June 22, 2010, by an ESA archaeologist. The project area was observed to be highly disturbed, and about 50 percent of the ground surface was covered in gravel. Satellite photographs dating from 1995 to 2007 confirm that the area had been completely devegetated and graded during the construction of the sports complex. The eastern portion of the project area consisted of a steep, cut slope, which was not 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Triple A Pad Project 26 ESA / D210226 .

The northern tip of the project area consisted of an area of overgrown brush bisected by a concrete drainage channel. This area appeared slightly less disturbed than the rest of the parcel, and may have never been graded as the rest of the parcel had. No cultural resources were observed during the course of the survey. a) No Impact. The proposed project would not cause a change in the significance of an historical resource. No archaeological or built architectural cultural resources either listed on or eligible for the National Register, the California Register, or local register are known to be, located within the project area; therefore, there would be no impact to historical resources. b) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The proposed project would not cause a change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource. The SCCIC records search for the proposed project did not identify any archa;Ipological resources within the proposed project area or within '/2-mile of the project area. Field reconnaissance also did not identify any resources in the project area. In addition, the project area has been previously graded and disturbed. The northernmost extent of the project area appears less disturbed; however, because this area consists of coastal sage scrub habitat, no construction would occur in the area: Because of the level of disturbance, it is unlikely that archaeological resources would. be encountered during construction. However, since the nature of the proposed project would involve ground -disturbing activities that could extend into undisturbed soil, there remains a small possibility that such actions could unearth, expose, or disturb subsurface archaeological, historical, or Native American resources that were not observable on the surface. The following mitigation measure is recommended, in order to reduce potential impacts to subsurface archaeological resources to a less than significant level. Although the BKK Landfill EIR contained a mitigation measure for all potentially historic resources, including archaeological, paleontological and Native American resources, the following mitigation measure would be more'specific to the site and would generally conform to newer regulations regarding potential historic resources. Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Cease Work if Subsurface Cultural Resources are Discovered During Ground -Disturbing Activities. If a cultural resource is encountered, all activity in the vicinity of the find shall cease until it can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist, defined as one meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology. If the find is determined to be potentially. significant, the archaeologist, i I n consultation with the lead agency and appropriate Native American group(s) (if the find is a prehistoric or Native American resource), shall develop a treatment plan. All work in the immediate vicinity of the unanticipated discovery shall cease until the qualified archaeologist has evaluated the discovery, or the treatment plan has been implemented.

The proposed project would not directly or indirectly destroy a known unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature. ' The project area is located within the marine Late Pliocene Puente Formation, a paleontologically sensitive formation that has the potential to produce significant , vertebrate fossils. Fossil specimens, primarily fish, have been recovered from the Puente formation in the San Jose Hills, within several miles of the project area: Because of the sensitivity of the Puente formation, ground -disturbing activities related to the proposed , project could result in significant impacts to paleontological resources. However, implementation of Mitigation Measure CUL-2 would reduce impacts to paleontological resources to less than significant. ' Mitigation Measure CUL-2: Prior to the issuance of grading permits, a qualified paleontologist shall be retained. and approved by the lead agency to monitor all , ground -disturbing activity. The duration and timing of monitoring shall be determined by the qualified paleontologist in consultation with the lead agency and based on the grading plans. Initially, all ground -disturbing activities shall be , monitored. However, if, during the course of monitoring, the paleontologist can demonstrate that the level of monitoring should be reduced, the paleontologist, in consultation with the lead agency, may adjust the level of monitoring to ' circumstances as warranted. If a potentially significant fossil is found, the paleontologist shall be allowed to temporarily divert or redirect grading and excavation activities in the area of the ' exposed fossil to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage. Any fossils encountered and recovered shall be catalogued and donated to a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles`County. Accompanying notes, maps, and photographs shall also be filed at the repository. Following the completion of the above tasks, the paleontologist shall prepare a report documenting the absence or discovery of fossil resources on -site. If fossils are found, the report shall summarize the results of the inspection program, identify ' those fossils encountered, recovery and curation efforts, and the methods used in These efforts, as well as describe the fossils collected and their significance.

The State Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Alquist- Priolo Act) prohibits the development of structures for human occupancy across active fault traces.'- Under the Alquist-Priolo Act, the California Geological Survey (CGS) has established zones on either side of an active fault that delimits areas susceptible to surface fault rupture. These zones are.referred to as fault rupture hazard zones and are shown on official snaps published by the CGS. The project site does not lie within a fault rupture 2 The Alquist-Priolo Act designates zones that are most likely to experience fault rupture, although surface -fault rupture is not necessarily restricted to those specifically zoned areas. The zones are defined by the California Geological Survey. An active fault is defined by the State of California as a fault that has had surface displacement within Holocene time (approximately the last 11,000 years). A potentially active fault is defined as a fault that has shown evidence of.surface displacement during the Quatemary (last 1.6 million years), unless direct geologic evidence demonstrates inactivity for all of the Holocene or longer. This definition does not, of course, mean that faults lacking evidence of surface displacement are necessarily inactive. Sufficiently active is also used to describe a fault if there is some evidence that Holocene displacement occurred on one or more of its segments or branches. A structure for human occupancy is one that is intended for supporting or sheltering any use or occupancy, which is expected to have a human occupancy rate of more than 2,000 person hours per year (Hart, 1997). Triple A Pad Project 30 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 ' hazard zone (Hart, 1997). The closest active faults are the Whittier fault located approximately six miles south of the project site and the Sierra Madre fault located approximately seven miles north of the project site. There are no active faults known to traverse through the project area (CGS, 2010a). Although fault rupture is not necessarily bound by the limits of a fault rupture hazard zone, ground displacement is most commonly seen along traces of active faults during major earthquakes that result in observable offsets. Because the proposed facilities would not be located on an active or potentially active fault, the likelihood for surface fault rupture is low and the impact is considered less than significant. Therefore, potential damage to property or injury/loss of life to people as a result of fault rupture is considered less than significant. a.ii) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Earthquakes are an unavoidable hazard in many areas in California, including Los Angeles County. United States Geologic Survey (USGS) and CGS have measured shaking potential throughout California for Maximum Credible Earthquake events on known active faults. Seismically induced strong ground shaking is potentially a significant geologic hazard expected in the study area. The highest peak acceleration is expected to occur from a moment magnitude (Mw) 3 8.5 maximum credible earthquake (MCE)4 event on the Mojave segment of the San Andreas fault. Strong ground shaking could either be amplified or dampened depending on the engineering properties of the soils. USGS and CGS use peak ground acceleration (PGA) values to measure the potential for shaking to occur at a particular location. The PGA for a given component of motion is the largest value of horizontal acceleration obtained from a seismograph. PGA is expressed as the percentage of the'acceleration due to gravity(g), which is approximately 980 centimeters per second squared. Unlike measures of magnitude, which provide a single measure of earthquake energy, PGA varies from place to place, and is dependent on the distance from the epicenter and the character of the underlying geology (e.g. hard bedrock, soft sediments or artificial fills). According to the CGS (2010b), the PGA value at the study area is 0.47 for firm and soft sediments and 0.484 g for artificial fills with a 10 percent probability of being exceed in the next 50 years. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI)'assigns an intensity value based on the observed effects of ground shaking produced by an earthquake. Because the MMI is a measure of ground -shaking effects, intensity values can be related to a range of PGA values. The project site lies in the vicinity of several active faultsin the region. Therefore the ground shaking intensity could be very strong (MMI-VII1) (City.of West Covina, 2000) during an MCE. , 3 Moment magnitude measures the size of earthquakes in terms of the energy released 4 The MCE is an estimated moment magnitude for the largest earthquake capable of occurring on a fault. ' Triple A Pad Project 31 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration -August 2010 Aboveground structures such as the proposed mini -mart and gas station canopy, and carwash are susceptible to damage from strong ground shaking. Subsurface structures, such as the proposed USTs for the gas station, are generally less susceptible to damage ' because they are embedded in compacted backfill that can tolerate more seismic wave motion. Construction activities associated with the project would consist of grading, excavation, paving and installation of the proposed structures. The new structures would ' comply with the seismic design requirements set forth in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24, the California Building Code (CBC). Compliance with the CBC would insure that the structure would resist collapse from the potential ground shaking in the project area during a major earthquake. A geotechnical investigation performed for the BKK Landfill EIR also made recommendations for the area included within the BKK Landfill site, including the proposed project area. These recommendations were adhered to as part of the landfill closure process -and in adherence to the BKK Landfill EIR Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP). These recommendations and the applicable mitigation measure from the BKK Landfill EIR are , incorporated by reference. In addition to comply with the required seismic standards, incorporation of Mitigation Measure GEO-I below would further ensure that the level of risk from ground shaking would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure GEO-1: The project applicant shall implement the following , measure: The project applicant shall conduct a project specific geotechnical investigation and incorporate into project design relevant specifications from the previous geotechnical investigation for the BKK Landfill closure as well as new specifications resulting from the project specific investigation. These engineering recommendations shall address foundations, trench backfill, earthwork and related structural considerations for construction of the underground storage tanks, aboveground structures, and support structures. Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant. a.iii) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Strong seismic shaking can accelerate and accentuate settlement in dry granular soils. During an earthquake that causes prolonged ground shaking, soil particles rearrange, compact, and settle more quickly than in the absence of a seismic event. The effects of the shaking differ based on the types of soils present and the amount of moisture contained in the soils. Strong shaking in dry, granular soils accelerates and accentuates settlement either evenly or unevenly across a given area. Due to strong shaking, moist or saturated granular soils develop characteristics as that of a dense fluid resulting in liquefaction. The soil types present at the project site are of the Altamont-Diablo association (City of West Covina, 2000). These soils are clayey, well drained, and have low permeability. Given the amount of water retention and soil texture the risk of liquefaction is low to moderate. Much of the former BKK Landfill is underlain by artificial fill. Artificial fills are highly susceptible to liquefaction. While liquidation potential is low to moderate on the project Triple A Pad Project 32 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 ' site, the adjoining area may experience liquefaction during a seismic event. However, the proposed two parallel 26-foot high retaining walls and a crib wall on the eastern border of the project site would retain fallen soils in the event of liquefaction of the adjacent hillside and prevent damage to the proposed project facilities. The walls would abut the hillside created by former landfill operations. Installation of the retaining walls in addition to implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1 (see above) and GEO-2 would minimize potential liquefaction hazards at the project site to less than significant. 1 Mitigation Measure GEO-2: The project applicant shall implement the following measure in addition to Mitigation Measure GEO-1 : • The project specific geotechnical investigation, as required in Mitigation Measure GEO-1, shall include specific recommendations for the construction of the proposed retaining walls. These recommendations will take into account potential liquefaction that may occur on the hillside of the adjacent, former L BKK Landfill. The project design shall incorporate specifications that shall prevent damage to the project area as a result of the hazard. ta.iv) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Saturated. soil on slopes can result in seismically -induced landslides. The project site lies at the western end of the San Jose Hills. Elevation at the site is approximately 500 feet above mean sea level. Several ' landslides were identified in the vicinity of the project in the Geotechnical Feasibility Investigation prepared for BKK Landfill closure, including: four `small, shallow' landslides near Azusa Avenue, north of the project site (City of West Covina, 2000). The project site is flat and graded and does not pose a landslide risk. However, the site is adjacent to steep slopes that are susceptible to landslide hazards. As required for the BKK ' Landfill FCP and FPCMP as well as by mitigation measures in the BKK Landfill EIR, the angles of the landfill slopes are designed with a factor of safety considered adequate to prevent slope failure in the event of shaking at magnitudes expected during a maximum probable seismic event.5 During the BKK Landfill closure process, some of the Mitigation Measures that were implemented to prevent landslide hazards during seismic events and that would apply to the proposed project are listed below and incorporated by reference. The following are applicable Mitigation Measures from the BKK Landfill closure: The applicant shall implement the following FCP and FPCMP.measures that would reduce the significance of this impact: • Construction of slopes in accordance with the factor of safety analysis in the FCP. • In accordance with the FPCMP, a series of measures to inspect and maintain the final cover shall occur after each seismic event. If slope failure is detected, the area in question shall be closed off to prevent damage to equipment or harm to individuals. An engineering assessment of slope damage shall occur 5 The maximum probable earthquake is the maximum that is likely to occur during a 10-year interval. ' Triple A Pad Project 33 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 and placement of soil, fill or other appropriate corrective action should be ' taken to restore the slope. • Structures built in earthquake -induced landslide areas shall involve excavation of ancient landslides and placement of engineered fill, buttressing, subsurface drainage and/or other appropriate measures as recommended by a certified geotechnical engineer. S Additionally, two parallel 26-foot-high retaining walls and a crib wall would be constructed on the eastern and northern borders of the project site. The walls would abut ' the hillside created by the former landfill operations and would reduce or eliminate the potential damage resulting from landslide on the adjacent property. Installation of the retaining walls in addition to implementation of Mitigation Measures GEO-1 and GEO-2 would minimize the impact to less than significant. b) Less than Significant. Altamont and Diablo soils underlie the project area and have moderate to high erodability (City of West Covina, 2000). Ground disturbing and construction activities for the proposed project including grading, excavation, trenching, and soil stock piling could expose soils and increase the potential for erosion. Weather ' conditions such as high winds or rain could result in a loss of top soil excavated during project construction. However, erosion would be minimized by implementing best management practices (BMPs) as required under the National Pollutant Discharge ' Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Permit for Discharges of Storm Water Runoff Associated with Construction Activity. The project applicant would be required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) for all construction phases of the proposed project. The SWPPP would include BMPs, which are individual or combined measures that can be implemented in a practical and effective ' manner on the project site to prevent or minimize the potential release of contaminants into surface waters and groundwater. Therefore, the potential for erosion during project construction would be low. Additionally, implementation of existing and already - required mitigation measures from the BKK Landfill EIR would further minimize erosion impacts and are incorporated by reference. Applicable mitigation measures from the BKK Landfill EIR include the following: The FPCMP includes the following measures that would reduce the significance of ' this impact: • Visual monitoring shall be conducted to detect erosion. • Exposed soil surfaces shall be moistened, as necessary, to limit fugitive dust. • Visual monitoring of runoff shall be conducted. • Temporary runoff diversion structures (earthworks, temporary piping) shall be constructed, as necessary, to limit severe erosion. The applicant shall also implement the following regulatory compliance measures that would reduce the significance of this impact: Triple A Pad Project 34 ESA / D210226 ' Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 P FAI 1 1 J .1 • In accordance with NPDES requirements, a Stor n Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) shall be prepared and implemented to identify monitoring and soil stabilization and control practices during construction. • In accordance with the Unclassified Use Pennit, construction activities shall be curtailed during precipitation events that may result in significant runoff. c) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project area is predominantly underlain by clay and shale soil types. The proposed facilities would lie in an area that has low to moderate risk of liquefaction and low risk of landslide during a seismic event (as discussed in a.iii and a.iv, above). The proposed project would include a design -level geotechnical investigation that would include recommendations for foundation soils compaction and backfill compaction specifications to ensure geotechnically sound construction of the project components (see Mitigation Measure GEO-1). This investigation would include geotechnical recommendations to address potential hazards from unstable soils. The impact therefore would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure: Implement Mitigation Measure GEO-1. Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant. d) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. Expansive soils are generally clayey soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. Expansive soils located beneath structures can result in cracks in foundations, walls, and floors. The soils underlying the project site are of the Altamont-Diablo association and are considered to be potentially expansive (City of West Covina, 2000). Compliance of the project design with the recommendations from a project -specific geotechnical investigation (see Mitigation Measure GEO-1), the applicable mitigation measures from the BKK Landfill EIR, as well as the applicable Uniform Building Code and California Building Code (Title 24) requirements, the potential impacts related to expansive soils as well as lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction, or collapse would be less than significant with mitigation. Mitigation Measure: Implement Mitigation Measure GEO-1. Significance after Mitigation: Implement Mitigation Measure GEO-1. e) No Impact. Implementation of the proposed project would not involve use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater treatment disposal systems to handle wastewater generation. Thus, there would be no impact.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS — Would the project: a) Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the 1 environment? ` b) Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? Discussion a, b) Less than Significant. Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases (GHGs), which are linked to global climate change. Global climate change is a change in 1 the average weather on earth that can be measured by wind patterns, storms, precipitation and temperature. Although there is disagreement as to the speed of global warming and the extent of the impacts attributable to human activities, most agree that there is a direct link between increased emission of GHGs and long-term global temperature. What GHGs have in common is that they allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere, but trap a portion of the outward -bound infrared radiation and Aiarm up the air. The process is similar to the effect GHGs have in raising the internal _temperature, hence the name GHGs. Both natural processes and human activities emit GHGs. The accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere regulates the earth's temperature; however, emissions from human activities such as electricity generation and motor vehicle operations have elevated the concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere. This accumulation of GHGs has contributed to an increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere and contributed to global climate. change., The principal GHGs are CO2, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and water vapor (H20). CO2 is the reference gas for climate change because it is the predominant GHG emitted. To account for the varying wanning potential of different GHGs, GHG emissions are often quantified and reported as CO2 equivalents (CO2e). Large emission sources are reported in million metric tons of COze (MMTCO2e). In 2005, in recognition of California's vulnerability to the effects of climate change, Governor Schwarzenegger established Executive Order S-3-05, which sets forth a series of target dates by which statewide emission of GHG would be progressively reduced, as follows: • By 2010, reduce GHG emissions to 2000 levels; • By 2020, reduce GHG emissions to 1990.1evels; and • By 2050, reduce GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels. Triple A Pad Project 37 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 In 2006, California passed the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Assembly Bill No. 32; California Health and Safety Code Division 25.5, Sections 38500, et seq., or AB 32), which requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to design and implement emissions limits, regulations, and other measures, such that feasible and cost-effective statewide GHG emissions are reduced to 1990 levels by 2020 (representing an approximate 25 percent reduction in emissions). On March 18, 2010, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR) submitted amendments to the state CEQA.Guidelines for GHG emissions, as required by Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21083.05 (Senate Bill 97) became effective. These amendments to the CEQA Guidelines provide guidance to public agencies regarding the analysis and mitigation of the effects of GHG emissions in draft CEQA documents. The amendments are relatively modest changes to various portions of the existing CEQA Guidelines. These modifications address the ways in which analysis of GHG emissions may differ in some respects from more traditional CEQA analysis. The proposed project would contribute to global climate change as a result of emissions of GHGs, primarily COz, emitted by project construction. As with other individual and relatively small projects, the specific emissions from the proposed project would not be expected to individually have an impact on Global Climate Change. Furthermore, GHG impacts are considered to be exclusively cumulative impacts; there are no non- cumulative GHG emission impacts from a climate change perspective. Thus, the analysis of GHG emissions for the proposed project is to determine whether the impact of the proposed project is cumulatively considerable. Four types of analyses are used to determine whether the project could be cumulatively considerable and potentially conflicts with the state goals for reducing GHG emissions. The analyses are as follows: A. Any potential conflicts with CARB's thirty-nine (39) recommended actions in California's AB 32 Climate Change Scoping Plan. B. The relative size of the project. The project's GHG emissions will be compared to the size of major facilities thatare required to report GHG emissions (25,000 metric tons/year of COZe) to the state. The project size will also be compared to the estimated GHG emissions for the California GHG emissions limit of 427 million metric tons per year of CO-,e emissions by 2020. In reaching its goals CARB will focus upon the largest emitters of GHG emissions. The project's GHG emissions will also be compared to the SCAQMD thresholds. C. The basic energy efficiency parameters of a project to determine whether its design is inherently energy efficient. D. Any potential conflicts with applicable policies, or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing emissions of GHGs. With regard to Item A, the proposed project would not pose any apparent conflict with the most recent list of CARB early action strategies (see Table 7-1 in Appendix A). Triple A Pad Project 38 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration _ August 2010 With Item regard to B, project GHG emissions during construction would be approximately 192 metric tons of CO2e/year. Operational emissions from vehicle trips ' and area emissions would account for 3,907 metric tons of CO2e/year. Indirect operational emissions from electricity usage, would account for approximately 217 . metric tons of CO2e/year, totaling 4,125 metric tons of CO2e/year. The project would not be classified as a major source of GHG emissions (operational emissions of 4,125 metric tons/year CO2e would be about 16.5 percent of the lower reporting limit, which is 25,000 metric tons/year of CO2e). The proposed project's annual contribution during operation would be approximately 0.001 percent of California's 427 million metric tons of CO2e/year emissions limit for 2020, and therefore the project would not generate sufficient emissions of GHGs to contribute considerably to the cumulative effects of GHG emissions such that it would impair the state's ability to implement AB 32. 1 SCAQMD adopted an interim GHG significance threshold for projects for which the SCAQMD is the lead agency. The industrial screening level of 10,000 metric tons/year CO2e was used as the quantitative threshold for the proposed project GHG emissions. For ' the proposed project, the worst -case annual emissions associated with construction (6 metric tons per year CO2e after amortization over 30 years per SCAQMD methodology) and operations including area, vehicle, and indirect emissions, (4,125 metric tons per year CO2e) would be approximately 4,131 metric tons CO2e per year for the proposed project. The proposed project would not exceed the SCAQMD draft screening threshold for industrial sources (10,000 metric tons/year CO2e) and would be less than significant without mitigation. With regard to Item C, the project would serve the local population in a newly developing 1 area and could reduce travel distances for some users of the commercial center when compared to current options, as such the location would be energy efficient. Finally, with regard to Item D, West Covina has not established GHG reduction plans or policies. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any local regulations pertaining to 1 GHGs. In summary, the review of Items A, B, C and D indicate that the project would not conflict with the states goals in AB 32, and therefore would not have a significant impact on the environment. The impact potential would be less than significant.

Discussion a, b) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. The project site is located on the former BKK Landfill, which is listed as a hazardous materials site with a closure permit by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC, 2010). The operation of the BKK Landfill included storage and disposal of a range of hazardous chemicals and materials. The project site's location on the former BKK Landfill has the potential to release hazardous chemical into the environment, which is discussed in detail below. The project site is also located within a quarter -mile of three former (now remediated) Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) sites: a tank on the BKK Landfill property, an Exxon Mobile gas station at 2450 Azusa Avenue, and a Chevron Gas station at 2500 Azusa Avenue (SWRCB, 2010). All three of these sites have been cleaned up and closed. The closure process includes but is not limited to removal of the LUST, removal of the contaminated soils (to the extent possible) and monitoring of remaining contaminant Triple A Pad Project 41 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 concentrations in soil and groundwater. Because the three sites have been properly remediated, none of them pose a significant hazard to the public or the environment. Construction and operation of project would involve storage, use and transportation of i hazardous materials. Construction activities would require the use of certain hazardous materials such as fuels, oils, solvents, and glues. Accidental spillage of other hazardous materials used during construction could result in health and safety risk to the public. Potential impacts associated with the use and potential inadvertent releases of hazardous materials used for construction activities would be less than significant with ' implementation of Mitigation Measures HAZ-1 and HAZ-2, which require that the project sponsor develop a site specific health and safely plan as well as implement BMPs for the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials and petroleum products and other fuels and chemicals. Construction activities would also require trenching and excavation. Since the closure of the landfill, combustible landfill gases (LFG) may have migrated below the ground surface, outward to beneath the project site. LFG contains a high percentage of methane. Methane is considered combustible gas (subject to explosion) if it accumulates in certain ' concentrations in enclosed spaces. Subsurface excavation for construction could cause combustible LFG to release. If significant levels of LFG are present in excavated soils, workers and the public could be exposed to health and safety risks due to the ' combustibility of the gas and the operation of equipment or tools that produce a spark, fire, or flame. In accordance with mitigation measures included in the BKK Landfill EIR (listed below and incorporated by reference), the former landfill is designed with LFG control systems. The primary protective aspect of the control system is the placement of gas probes around the perimeter of the Class III disposal area and in strategic locations along the property lines to protect adjacent properties. Other components of the control system include horizontal trenches and vertical wells which collect LFG as it decomposes within the landfill, flares and electrical generation facilities.which combust LFG collected on the site and a final cover on the Class III site with a thickness which greatly exceeds regulatory standards. These controls reduce the potential impact of LFG leakage and combustion to a less than significant level. Additional mitigation measures for worker safety in areas where LFGs may be present are also listed below and incorporated by reference. ' In the long-term, project operations would include a gasoline service station with three USTs for petroleum product storage, a mini -mart as well as a car wash, which would involve use and storage of substances such as soap, degreaser; wax, and other commercial cleaning substances that are considered hazardous. Operation of the mini -mart and car wash would likely use hazardous chemicals common in commercial/retail settings. These chemicals would include materials such as toners, correction fluid, paints, lubricants, kitchen and restroom cleaners, pesticides and other maintenance materials. Because general commercial/retail and household hazardous materials are generally handled and transported in small quantities (much smaller than volumes used for manufacturing or Triple A Pad Project 42 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration - August 2010 , industrial uses) and sealed packaging, implementation of the project would not cause a .significant adverse effect to the public or the environment with respect -to the use, storage, or disposal of general commercial hazardous materials from proposed mini -mart and car wash use. The impact from these types of hazardous materials would be considered less 1 than significant. Gas station operations could potentially expose people to hazards associated with gasoline spills resulting from leaking USTs or from over topping and spillage during refueling activities. Exposure or inadvertent release of large quantities of gasoline into the environment could expose construction workers, the public, and the environment to potentially hazardous conditions, and/or adversely impact soil, surface waters, or ' groundwater quality. Numerous local, state, and federal laws and regulations govern the installation of USTs and storage of hazardous materials in USTs. These regulations are ' designed to ensure that USTs are properly installed, permitted, and monitored with leak detection systems to prevent unauthorized releases from impacting the environment. The project sponsor would be required to comply with Title 23 of the'California PRC and California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) regulations for UST installation. The proposed UST systems would be required to be inspected by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, which has the authority to issue fines for. violation of UST' storage regulations. The storage of hazardous materials such as lubricating oil, waste oil, and solvents for vehicle maintenance is also regulated by ' numerous regulations overseen by Los Angeles County Fire Department. These regulations require proper storage, disclosure of hazardous materials inventory, spill containment measures, facility inspections and reporting. Compliance with existing UST and hazardous materials regulations would reduce the potential Hazard of gasoline service station operations to the public or the environment to a less than significant level. The following applicable mitigation measures from Impacts 4.9-2 and 4.9-3 of the BKK Landfill EIR are already required and would be applicable if the presence of methane is established at the project site (the project site has never been used for fill): ' The applicant shall implement the following mitigation measures that would reduce the significance of this impact: ' • On -site buildings and structures constructed as part of the proposed project shall be installed with methane protection systems, which include, at a minimum, a protective membrane beneath building foundations. I • Ongoing monitoring of LFG migration probes shall be conducted in accordance with the [Final Postclosure Maintenance Plan] FPCMP and applicable environmental regulations. • Additional probes shall be installed near the new on -site structures to provide warning of potential migration. If exceedances of regulatory standards for methane are detected during probe monitoring events, additional mitigation measures should be enacted immediately. Triple A Pad Project - 43 ESA ! D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 I • The methane protection systems shall include methane sensors and alarms ' within interior building spaces. • An emergency response plan shall be developed for the buildings associated with the golf course development and the business park in order to address the possible accumulations of subsurface combustible gases in enclosed building spaces. The plan should provide for mitigation measures and evacuation procedures when methane alarms are triggered. The applicant shall implement the following regulatory compliance measure that would reduce the significance of this impact: • Construction workers, including all contractors and subcontractors, shall be informed of anticipated site hazards. ' • Respiratory protective equipment shall be provided for workers in confined spaces. ' • Fire extinguishers and hand washing facilities shall be readily accessible. • An air monitoring program shall be established for invasive elements of the closure construction program. • Appropriate federal and state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) worker safety procedures shall be implemented during on -site construction work, including adherence to applicable portions of 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CPR) 1910 and Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). A project -specific health and safety plan shall be developed and implemented, including specific provisions for minimizing , potential impacts due to LFG. As noted above, the following additional mitigation measures are required to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level: Mitigation Measure HAZ-1: The project applicant shall prepare a project -specific Health and Safety Plan (HSP) in accordance with 29 CFR 1910 to protect construction workers and the public during all excavation, grading, and construction services. The HSP shall identify the following, but not be limited to: • A summary of all potential risks to construction workers and maximum exposure limits for all known and reasonably foreseeable site chemicals; Specified personal protective equipment and decontamination procedures, if ' needed; • Safety procedures,to be followed in the event suspected hazardous materials are encountered; • Emergency procedures, including route to the nearest hospital, and identification health • The of a site and safety officer and responsibilities of the site health and safety officer.. Mitigation Measure HAZ-2: The contractor shall implement construction best management practices (BMPs) for handling hazardous materials on -site. The use of Triple A Pad Project 44 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 1 a construction BMPs shall minimize potential negative effects, and shall include, without limitation, the following: • Follow manufacturers' recommendations and regulatory requirements for use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials and petroleum products used in construction; • Avoid overtopping construction equipment fuel tanks; • Properly contain and dispose of grease and oils used for routine maintenance of construction equipment; and • Properly dispose of discarded containers of fuels and other chemicals. ' Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant. c) Less than Significant. There are no schools located within a quarter mile of the project 1 site. The project site is located within one mile of the five schools listed below: • South Hills Academy, 1600 E Francisquito Avenue, West Covina; • Merced Elementary School, 1545 E Merced Avenue, West Covina; • Grandview .School, 795 Grandview Lane, La Puente; • Saint Martha's Catholic School, 440 N Azusa Avenue, La Puente; and • Valinda School of Academics, 1030 Indian Summer Avenue, La Puente. Potential hazards associated with the closure of the BKK. Landfill have been evaluated by a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and mitigated through ongoing site design features. Trenching and excavation during project construction could result in inadvertent spillage of hazardous materials used for construction or the accidental release of combustible LFG. However, the schools are located at sufficient distance from the project site such that they would not be exposed. Additionally, the proposed project would not pose a Hazard during operations as a result of the stringent regulatory requirements for use of hazardous materials, as well as installation and operation of an underground storage tanks. Therefore, the proposed project would not pose a hazard to the schools. The impact would be less than significant. d) Less than Significant. The project site is located on the former BKK Landfill, which is listed as a hazardous materials site. The operation of the BKK Landfill included storage and disposal of a range of hazardous chemicals and materials. As part of the closure of the ]andfill, the BKK Landfill EIR included an HRA, which described potential public health risks resulting from closing the landfill. During the time period in which the HRA was completed, a total of 44 separate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semi- VOCs were identified or were expected to be present in LFG, condensate, leachate, groundwater, and/or storm water samples collected. A total of 33 separate inorganic or sulfur -containing substances were identified or were expected to be present in LFG, condensate, leachate, surface water, and/or groundwater samples collected. Landfill workers, residents, and offsite commercial workers were considered to be potentially exposed during operations of the landfill. Under a future proposed land use scenario ' Triple A Pad Project 45 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 7� (redevelopment for recreational and commercial uses such as the proposed project) a risk , Of potential exposure was estimated for the landfill workers, commercial and construction workers, recreational users, and residents. However, the BRA estimated that the final closure of the BKK Landfill would reduce health risks by at least 3 to 5 percent under operating conditions for sensitive receptors in , the vicinity of the landfill. Therefore, no restrictions or mitigation measures were recommended and the potential impact was not considered significant. As discussed in (a, b), above, lateral migration of subsurface, combustible landfill gas was identified as a potentially significant issue. Based on the HRA, estimated health risks for these receptors are below the significance criteria thresholds (West Covina, 2000). However, the potential for exposure to accumulations of LFG, which can be both combustible and toxic, is possible in particular for on -site construction workers who may be conducting subsurface construction activities. As a result, the Mitigation Measures from the BKK Landfill EIR, shown in discussion (a, b) above, were recommended to reduce health risks I to construction worker to a less than significant level. As discussed in (a, b) above, the project site is located within a few hundred feet of three ' former LUST sites, all of which been cleaned up and closed. The closure process includes but is not limited to removal of the leaking tank, removal of the contaminated soils (to the extent possible) and monitoring of remain contaminant concentrations in soil and groundwater. Hazardous materials sites can pose a threat to the public and the environment if they release toxic chemicals into the air or water. Because the three sites have been properly remediated, none of them pose a significant hazard to the public or the environment. As a result impacts would be less than significant. c, f) No Impact. The project site is not located in an airport land use planning area or near an indentified air strip. As a result, project implementation would not result in an airport - related hazard to people residing or work in the project area. g) Less than Significant. Los Angeles County has an emergency management plan that establishes methods for disaster prevention and disaster management. The Emergency Management Plan has evacuation priorities based on different types of facilities and their roles in managing disaster. For example hospitals have the highest priority as Priority One facilities. Freeways and arterial roads are Priority 2 facilities. Azusa Boulevard is ' considered an arterial road (County of Los Angeles, 1998). In the event of an emergency, because construction staging would take place on the project site, the proposed project would not result in interference with execution of the Emergency Management Plan. In addition, project operations would not significantly increase congestion along Azusa Avenue (see Section 16, Transportation and Traffic), nor would it require expanded capacity of emergency service providers (see Section 14, Public Services). Thus, the ' potential for the proposed project to interfere with the execution of the Los Angeles County Emergency Management Plan would be less than significant. , Triple A Pad Project 46 ESA / D210226 ' Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 1 h) Less than Significant. The project site is designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection as being located in a State Responsibility Area with very high and high wildfire risk. Project construction activities, such as operation of gasoline- powefed tools or on -site storage of construction fuels, as well as operation activities, such as refueling of underground storage tanks, could pose a wildfire risk. The greatest fire danger would occur during the site clearing phase due to removal and piling of vegetation. The cleared vegetative materials could also become a fire fuel. Potential ' sources of ignition include equipment with internal combustion engines, gasoline -powered tools, and equipment or tools that produce a spark, fire, or flame. Such sources include sparks from blades or other metal parts scraping against rock, overheated brakes on wheeled equipment, friction from worn or unaligned belts and drive chains, and burned out bearings or bushings. Other hazards could result primarily from poor maintenance of the equipment. Smoking by on -site construction personnel could also a potential source of ignition during construction. Due to its wildfire designation, the project area would be subject to Section 4427 of the California PRC, which includes fire safety regulations that restrict the use of equipment that may produce a spark, flame, or fire; require the use of a spark arrestorb on any piece of construction equipment that uses an internal combustion engine; specify requirements for the safe use of gasoline -powered tools in fire hazard areas; and specify fire suppression equipment that must be provided on -site for various types of work in fire - prone areas. Regulations governing the use of construction equipment in fire -prone areas are designed to minimize the risk of wildfires during construction activity. In accordance r with the PRC, the construction contractor- would be required to comply with the following legal requirements during construction activities: • Earthmoving and portable equipment with internal combustion engines would be equipped with a spark arrestor to reduce the potential for igniting a wildfire (PRC Section 4442). • Appropriate fire suppression equipment would be maintainedduring the highest fire ' danger period — from April I to December I (PRC Section 4428). • On days when a burning permit is required, flammable materials would be removed to a distance of 10 feet from any equipment that could produce a spark, fire, or flame, ' and the construction contractor would maintain the appropriate fire suppression equipment (PRC Section 4427). • On days when a burning permit is required, portable tools powered by gasoline -fueled internal combustion engines would not be used within 25 feet of any flammable materials (PRC Section 4431). 6 A spark arrestor is a device that prohibits exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine from passing through the impeller blades where they could cause a spark. A carbon trap is commonly used to retain carbon particles from the exhaust. I Triple A Pad Project 47 ESA / D210226 In Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 Mandatory compliance with the PRC would reduce impacts related to wildfires to a less - than -significant level.

The project area lies within the Los Angeles -San Gabriel Hydrologic Unit, which encompasses most of Los Angeles County and small portions of southeastern Ventura County. The project site is located at approximately 500 feet above sea level and drains in a southwesterly direction. The topography at the site is generally flat while the surrounding area is characterized by steeply sloping hills. There are no surface water bodies located in the project area. The nearest surface water feature is Puente Creek, approximately two miles south of the Triple A Pad Project 49 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 feeds into San , project site. Puente Creek flows into San Jose Creek, which in turn the Gabriel River and eventually flows southwest into the Pacific Ocean. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LA RWQCB) has designated San Jose Creek as impaired for coliform, selenium and toxicity; and the San Gabriel River and San Gabriel Estuary as impaired for coliform, lead and pH. ' -Project construction would involve earthwork such as site preparation, grading, and excavation. These construction activities would cause disturbance of surface soils and potentially cause erosion. Storm water generated on -site or flowing through the project ' area, along with any disturbed sediment would likely flow to existing storm water drainages adjacent to the site. It is possible that some runoff would flow down -gradient to Puente Creek. This could adversely affect the quality of the water flowing into the , municipal system as well as nearby surface water bodies. Since project construction would encompass an area greater than an acre, the project would be subject to a General Construction Permit under the NPDES permit program of the federal Clean Water Act. ' As required under the General Construction Permit, the project applicant (or contractor) would prepare and implement a SWPPP. The SWPPP requires submittal of a Notice of ' Intent (NOI) to the LA RWQCB prior to construction activities. Implementation of the SWPPP would begin with the commencement of construction and continue though the completion of the project. The objectives of a SWPPP are to identify pollutant sources (such as sediment) that may affect the quality of storm water discharge and to implement BMPs to reduce pollutants in storm water. The project applicant and/or its construction contractor would use BMPs as described in The Construction Site Best Management Practices Manual. In particular, erosion control and slope stability BMPs, such as those discussed in Section 7(b), Geology, Soils and Seismicity, above, would be used to prevent the degradation of water quality in the construction area. Other BMPs that could be used include installing a silt fence; creating a sediment/desilting basin; installing sediment traps; using fiber rolls; creating gravel bag berms; street sweeping and vacuuming; creating a sandbag barrier; creating a straw bale barrier; and storm drain inlet protection. Therefore, the effect would be significant. , groundwater table in the Puente a The protect site �s over a shallow gro aquifer. Groundwater q levels are as high as 21 feet in the project area (West Covina, 2000). The hydrogeology in the project vicinity has been subject to changes due to the operations of the BKK ' Landfill. Consequently the BKK Landfill EIR modeled groundwater flows on the BKK property. This model indicates the groundwater beneath the Class III landfill flows in both southern and western directions. Water flowing from beneath the northern portion of the Class III landfill is flowing south in•the general direct of the project site. There is a hydrologic barrier that blocks flows from the southern portion of the Class III landfill , from flowing beneath the project site. Trenching and excavation required for the installation of the three underground storage tanks could potentially encounter the groundwater table. Excavation for underground fuel tanks could extend to between 14 and 16 feet below the ground surface. (Utility trenching would extend to two feet below Triple A Pad Project 50 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 the ground surface, and excavation for buildings would extend to approximately five feet below the ground surface.) Should this occur, groundwater would seep into the excavation area and would heed to be pumped out and discharged in order to maintain a dry working area. This dewatering process could potentially pump groundwater that is contaminated by seepage of leachates and volatile organic compounds? (VOCs) from the 1 former BKK Landfill. The mitigation measures listed in the BKK Landfill EIR, the FCP, and the FPCMP were implemented and monitoring operations are ongoing to ensure that the VOC-containing LFG and leachates released after the closure of the facility do not ' migrate beyond the landfill boundaries. These measures are shown below and incorporated by reference into this document. The direction of the groundwater flow and the implementation of Mitigation Measures from the BKK Land Closure make it unlikely that dewatering activities would result in discharge of contaminated groundwater. However implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-1 would ensure that potential ' impacts are reduced to a less than significant level. Project construction would also involve use of chemicals and solvents such as fuel and ' lubricating grease for motorized heavy equipment. Inadvertent spills or releases of such chemicals could adversely impact the quality of surface water or groundwater. However, the volume of material used would not be significant and therefore potential impacts such ' as runoff and groundwater pollution are considered minimal. Implementation of standard construction procedures and. precautions as discussed in Seetion 8, Hazards and ' Hazardous Materials, above, would ensure that the impacts related to handling of chemicals from project construction would be less than significant. Project operations would include a gas station; mini mart and car wash. Ongoing activities at these facilities would include but not be limited to refueling of vehicles; refueling of USTs; draining and replacement of automotive oils; and commercial -scale washing, drying and waxing of vehicles. Various chemicals would be used for these activities and could spill or leak onto the ground surface. Should°the ground surface become wet due to rainfall or wetting of the ground surface during facility operations and maintenance activities, water containing these chemicals could runoff to the storm drain system, surface water bodies, or be absorbed into the groundwater aquifer and result in negative water quality impacts. The project would include a drain and two, 1,500-gallon I clarifiers that would receive water discharged from the car wash facility and make water suitable for discharge into the wastewater system. As a result,,storm water generated during project operations would be received into the storm water system and would be in compliance with existing wastewater discharge requirements. Mitigation Measure HYD-1: The project applicant and its contractors shall 1 comply with the NPDES permit requirements established by the LA RWQCB for dewatering activities, if required, as follows: i i 7 A volatile organic compound (VOC) is a chemical that easily transfornts from liquid to gases under nonnal atmospheric pressures and temperatures and often has toxic properties. I Triple A Pad Project 551 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 The LA RWQCB could require compliance with certain provisions in the permit such as treatment of the flows prior to discharge. The groundwater removed by dewatering would either be discharged to the sanitary sewer or storm drain system with authorization of and required permits from the applicable regulatory agencies or collected, tested, treated if necessary, and discharged to a local drainage with authorization from the LA RWQCB; and • The project sponsor and its contractors shall comply with applicable permit conditions associated with the treatment of groundwater prior to discharge. Applicable mitigation measures from Impacts 4.4-1 and 4.4-2 of the BKK EIR already require the following measures under the FCP and FPCMP that would reduce the significance of this impact:" • Operation and maintenance of the LFG control system as described in the FCP and FPCMP shall continue to remove gas from the landfill and prevent migration through the landfill liner. • Operation and maintenance of the liner and LFG and groundwater monitoring systems shall continue as described in the FPCMP. • Operation and maintenance of the cap, liner, LCRS, leachate treatment plant and groundwater monitoring systems shall continue as described in the FCP and/or FPCMP. • A barrier membrane and drainage system shall be. installed under greens and bunkers to the limit infiltration due to irrigation. This drainage system is designed to connect to the surface drainage system for the landfill. • Tensiometers shall be used to monitor moisture at strategic locations on the golf course. Soil moisture monitoring data shall be used to adjust irrigation schedules in order to avoid overwatering and deep percolation. The barrier layer of the final cover will also prevent or reduce deep percolation under greens and bunkers. In addition, the applicant would already be required to implement the following regulatory compliance measure: • If significant increased concentrations of VOCs attributable to gas migration are detected by the groundwater monitoring system, additional corrective measures shall be implemented as directed by the RWQCB. These measures may include, but not be limited to, operating portions of the LFG extraction system at high vacuums to increase the rate of gas removal, modification to the monitoring system to track contaminant migration and/or the employment of additional wells or barriers or other migration control mechanisms. • If significant decreases in groundwater quality (as defined by the RWQCB), attributable to irrigation of the Class III landfill or golf course, are detected as a result of monitoring, additional corrective measures shall be developed and implemented under the direction of the RWQCB. • Modification of the LTP permit, to be approved by the RWQCB and DTSC, to increase the permitted capacity of this facility. Triple A Pad Project 52 ESA / D210226 , Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration - August 2010 ' Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant. b) Less than Significant. The uppennost water -bearing formation at the project site is the Puente Fonnation. Depth to groundwater, based on summer 1997 measurements was approximately 21 feet in the project area. Water elevations reportedly may fluctuate from five to ten feet between summer and winter months (City of West Covina, 2000). The proposed project would not require long -tern withdrawal of groundwater. Project construction activities could require temporary dewatering, which is discussed in detail in (a, f) above. Approximately 75 percent of the surface area would, as part of the project, be impervious surface area. However, the increase in impervious surfaces would not result in a substantial reduction in recharge to the local aquifer. The new landscaping would enhance recharge by reducing runoff and increasing infiltration. Additionally, the underlying aquifer does not supply water for municipal or private use. The proposed project would therefore result in less than significant permanent, adverse impacts to ' groundwater supplies or aquifers and a less than significant impact to groundwater supplies. c-e) Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. There are no surface water bodies located on the project site. The site is currently graded, relatively flat and drains to existing storni drains on -site. Because the former BKK Landfill is now used primarily for commercial and recreational purposes, existing drainage patterns at the site are controlled by the storm drain system, similar to the surrounding area. The project would create ' approximately 69,547 square feet of impervious surface in order to create the proposed facilities and associated parking. The project would also landscape approximately 9,672 square feet around the site perimeter. The project would, therefore alter the drainage patterns on the project site, and as a result, there is still potential for increased storm water flows to exceed the drainage capacity of the existing, downstream storm water ' infrastructure due to increases in the amount impervious surfaces. The addition of 69,547 square feet of impervious surface would increase the amount of storm water runoff from the site under most storm events. This increase could potentially exceed the existing ' capacity of the downstream conveyance and detention facilities. The project applicant would be connected p ) pp d to the City s storm dram system. Additionally, the construction of conduits to collect flows, as recommended in the mitigation measures of BKK Landfill EIR would accommodate the increase in storm water generated by the project. These mitigation measures are incorporated by reference and shown below. 1 Implementation of Mitigation Measure HYD-2 would reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measure HYD-2: The project applicant shall implement the following measure: • The project applicant shall conduct a project -specific drainage study to detennine required storm drainage capacities for the project sites. ' Triple A Pad Project 53 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 Recommendations and specifications of the drainage study shall be , incorporated in the final project design. Significance after Mitigation: Less than significant. , g—i) Less than Significant. The project site is mapped as Flood Zone D, which is an•area that has not yet been mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) (FEMA, 1997). However, the project site is directly adjacent to areas mapped as having a 0.2 percent annual chance flood hazard zone. Given the site topography, it is likely that it has a similar flood hazard risk. However, no habitable structures would.be constructed on the project site. The project would therefore not impede or redirect flows or expose people or structures to significant risk of flooding. Additionally the project site does not lie within a dam inundation zone. Therefore, the impact would be less than significant. j) No Impact. Seiches form in enclosed bodies of water, such as lake or reservoir when , exposed to significant ground shaking. There are no enclosed waterbodies on the project site. The only enclosed bodies of water within two miles of the project site are small man-made lakes within the golf course facility on the former BKK Landfill. Given the ' size of these lakes and their distance from the project site, risk from a seiche-related hazard is considered less than significant. The project site lies 32 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and therefore is not susceptible to a tsunami, which is a large wave or series of , waves usually generated by an earthquake, volcanic eruption or coastal landslide. Mudflows consist of rapid landslides with high volumes of water that can be associated with dam releases or volcanic eruptions. The project topography and geologic , environment, also discussed in Section 6, Geology and Soils, does not include the characteristics that are generally subject to mudflows. Thus, there would be no impact from seiche, tsunami or mudflow at the project site.

The proposed project would be located on the northeast corner of Giambi Lane and Azusa Avenue, within the boundaries of the former BKK Landfill on the western edge, adjacent to and downhill of the Big League Dreams sports complex. ' The former landfill is a discrete site with no residential development. The project site itself is located at the base of a hill at the entrance to the former landfill. A large commercial shopping center developed at the former landfill is located downhill of the project site and is separated from the site by a steep slope. Private single-family residences are located along the west side of Asuza Avenue, slightly downhill of the street. These developments. face the west and none are accessible from Asuza Avenue in ' the vicinity of the project site. Because the site is located on a larger discrete area that has never been used for residential use, because the site vicinity is already developed with commercial uses, and because the project is another commercial use compatible with existing development, the project would have a less than significant impact physical impact on an established community. ' b) Less than Significant. West Covina's General Plan includes goals to: • Provide for a range of non-residential uses that will ensure a strong economic base for the city. • Arrange land uses with regard to the health, safety, convenience and welfare of the ' residents of the city. • Provide in conjunction with the circulation element, a pattern of streets that minimizes the impacts of motor vehicles on residential neighborhoods, while ' providing a safe and efficient means of circulation within the city. • Provide and maintain, in conjunction with the Open Space Element, an aesthetically pleasant environment for those who live, work, play and visit in West Covina. Triple A Pad Project 555 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 The project site is currently designated by the West Covina General Plan as OS (Open Space) and is also zoned under Chapter 26 of the West Covina Municipal Code as Open Space (OS). As Open Space, the Municipal Code states that "[o]pen space zoned land . may be located anywhere in the city provided it is consistent with the city's adopted policies and plans" (Chapter 26, Section 545). The Municipal Code also.states that open space can serve as areas that provide links between major recreation and open -space reservations, including utility easements (Chapter 26, Section 546(d)). In this case, the site provides some separation between the sports complex east and uphill of the project site, and the coastal sage scrub'habitat to the north. The City proposes to change the General Plan land use classification to Neighborhood Commercial and to change the zoning for the project site to Service -Commercial (S-C). Under the General Plan (p. I/1-11): Service commercial uses are of a relative high intensity — their success generally depending upon direct motorist exposure and excellent access. These commercial uses [including service uses] should be located with primary access to a four -lane or wider street, preferably at the intersection of a major and collector street or two four -lane or wider streets. Land so utilized should be topographically suited to such use without major earth movement, which may result in unsafe or unsightly cut or fill slopes. According to the Municipal Code (Chapter.26, Section 537): The purpose of the service -commercial (S-C) zone is to classify and set standards for those retail and service commercial, recreational, and business office land uses which by their nature are of a relative high intensity; are unique in that their success depends upon direct motorist exposure and excellent access; require special traffic circulation patterns that will not unduly restrict rapid traffic flow and extraordinary physical treatments in order to create compatibility with adjacent zoning and the development thereon. The Municipal Code also states that Service -Commercial centers should serve several neighborhoods and be located with primary access to a four -lane or wider street, uses should have access to a four -lane or wider street or highway as specified on the master plan. of streets and highways, on land that is the same grade level as the street or highway without major earth movement, resulting in unsafe or unsightly cut or fill slopes. In this case, the project would require cuts into slopes at the bottom of an engineered hillside. However, most of the site is flat and the hillside would be adequately supported (see measures required above in Section 6, Geology, Soils and Seismicity above). The project site is located on a discrete parcel of land at the bottom of a hillside put in place to. support the sports complex. This gravelly site is unoccupied and being used for construction staging. This site was cleared as part of the construction of the sports complex; in the past two to three years, vegetation has re-established itself along the Triple A Pad Project 56 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration ., August 2010 . perimeter. The proposed project would establish a buffer between the site and the northern coastal sage scrub habitat to the north. The site is located along Azusa Avenue, a major arterial with six lanes adjacent to the site and would serve residential areas in the area (north, west and south), as well as those attending activities at the sports complex to the east and the consumers at The Heights to the immediate south. The project would also require some cuts into the hill to,the east. These cuts would require retaining and crib walls, but would, however, be landscaped. The project would require an amendment to the General Plan and rezoning, which as pan of the project, would already be required by the City. This IS investigates the I environmental effects of that proposed General Plan amendment and rezoning, and proposes mitigation measures as appropriate. As a result, the proposed project would not conflict with land use plans and would result in a less than significant impact. c) Less than Significant. The proposed'project would be adjacent to and south of a habitat set aside for coastal sage scrub. Although adjacent to this habitat, the project would result in a buffer between the habitat and proposed development. No buildings are proposed for the area. The impact to the habitat area would be less than significant. References City of West Covina, West Covina General Plan, as amended to February 6, 1995.

Discussion ' a) Less than Significant. Total project construction is anticipated to occur for approximately six months. An increase in ambient noise levels would result from project construction activities. The West Covina Municipal Code states that it shall be unlawful for any person within or 500 feet from a residential zone to create noise levels that exceed 5 dBA above ambient noise levels between the hours of 8:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Furthennore the Code limits the hours of construction to between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Saturdays, with no construction allowed on 1 Sundays or legal Holidays. As determined in the d), below, construction noise impacts to the closest sensitive land use would be less than significant with the implementation of mitigation measures. In addition, project operations would not result in a significant increase in noise levels. As determined in c) below, noise due to long-term project operations would be less than significant and no mitigations would be required. As such, the proposed project would not result in the exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the West Covina Municipal Code. Impacts would be less than significant. Triple A Pad Project 59 ESA / D210226 ' Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 b) Less than Significant. Construction of the proposed project would employ conventional , activities and the equipment/techniques to be used would not cause excessive ground - borne vibration. This impact would be less than significant. c) Less than Significant. Operation of the project would not result in a permanent increase of ambient noise in the site vicinity above those that are currently occurring nor result in ' noise levels that exceed applicable City Code significance thresholds. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system for maintaining comfortable temperatures within the proposed buildings would consist of packaged rooftop air conditioning systems. Such rooftop HVAC units typically generate noise levels of approximately 55 dB at a distance of 100 feet from the operating units during maximum heating or air conditioning operations. The noise level of the HVAC if on the edge of the building nearest the sensitive receptors (about 225 feet) would be about 48 dBA. This impact would be less than significant. Operation of the drying system in the car wash would be the loudest of activities performed at the proposed gas station. A previous ESA noise study that included a car wash found that the modern blowers.are designed to produce a maximum sound level of approximately 60 dBA at 100 feet. For this project, the exit of the carwash, where the blowers are located, faces northward away from sensitive receptors. The eastern portion of the site also includes retaining walls that would further reduce car wash noise. The nearest residents to the project site would therefore not be affected by carwash noise. This would be a less than significant impact. Most of the noise generated by the implementation of the project would primarily be traffic -generated noise. The project would contribute to an increase in local traffic volumes, resulting in higher noise levels along local roadways. Using the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) TNM LookUp Model, traffic noise levels were analyzed for two roadway segments. The segments analyzed and results of the modeling are shown in Table 12-1 and Table 12-2, below.

Data based on PM Peak Hour. As depicted in Table 12-1 and Table 12-2, the proposed project would not cause a significant increase to traffic in the project vicinity. d) Less than Significant. Construction activity noise'levels at and near the project site would fluctuate depending on the particular type, number, and duration of uses of various pieces of construction equipment. Construction -related material haul trips would raise ambient noise levels along haul routes, depending on the number of haul trips made and types of vehicles used. In addition, certain types of construction equipment generate impulsive noises (such as pile driving), which can be particularly annoying. Pile driving, however, is not proposed as part of the proposed project. Table 1'2-3 shows typical noise levels during different construction stages. Table 12-4 shows typical noise levels ' produced by various types of construction equipment. Noise from construction activities generally attenuates at a rate of 4.5 to 7.5 dBA per doubling of distance; for this analysis a rate of 6 dBA was used. Some land uses are ' considered more sensitive to noise than others due to the amount of noise exposure and the types of activities typically involved. The nearest sensitive receptor to project construction is a single-family residence at approximately 225 feet on Cumberland Drive across Azusa Avenue. Construction noise at the nearest receptor would be approximately 76 dBA Leq. Other sensitive receptors located further away from construction would be exposed to construction noise at incrementally lower levels. Noise generated by construction activities would result in an increase in noise at the nearest residences and would be significant without mitigation. This would be a short-term significant impact on residents adjacent to the project site.

POPULATION AND HOUSING — Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing ❑ units, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating El the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Discussion a) No Impact. The proposed project would be located in an area designated for commercial development in a portion of West Covina that is largely built -out. No homes would be constructed in the project site vicinity, which is*a former landfill, portions of which are still considered hazardous; and no homes would be constructed on the project site. (The project site is in a location that has never been used for waste disposal.) The proposed project would not indirectly or indirectly induce substantial growth in the project site vicinity. b) No Impact. Located on a former landfill site, the subject property is undeveloped. There are no homes on the project site nor are homes located on the remainder of the former landfill. The proposed project would therefore have no impact on the displacement of existing housing. c) No Impact. See response to b), above. The subject property is undeveloped and unoccupied. The proposed project would result in no displacement of people and would therefore have no impact on the displacement of substantial numbers of people. References Site visit, June 16, 2010.

PUBLIC SERVICES — Would the project: a) Result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of, or the need for; new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, or other performance objectives for any of the following public services: i) Fire protection? ❑ ® ❑ ii) Police protection? ❑ iii) Schools? El iv) Parks? ❑ ® ❑ .' v) Other public facilities? Discussion Less Significant. a.i) than The West Covina Fire Department (WCFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical response services, along with fire prevention and community life safety education programs in the City of West Covina. WCFD operates five fire stations located throughout the City and staffs five paramedic engine companies and one ladder truck. The closest station, Station No. 5, is located at 1815 S. Azusa ' Avenue, approximately one-half of a mile north of Giambi Lane, which forms the southern perimeter of the project site. WCFD is staffed by 81 firefighters, 36 of which are trained firefighters/paramedics. The City requires that 24 trained firefighters be on duty ' every day of the year. Budget cuts have not affected the number of firefighters in the WCFD. In the event of a major emergency or incident, WCFD has agreements in place to call upon other local fire departments for assistance. Resources available from other departments include hazardous materials teams, medi-vac helicopters, and Urban Search Rescue Teams. In general, response times over the past five years hover around a little over five minutes. Because of the close proximity of Station No. 5 to the project site, response times would be shorter. During 2009-2010, WCFD anticipates that it will respond to over 7,800 emergency calls, most of which will be related to emergency medical response. It anticipates conducting over 4,100 inspections, conducting over 70 educational programs and conducting over 1,200 plan checks. WCFD would review site plans for the proposed project as part of the review process. Triple A Pad Project - 65 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 The proposed project is part of an area in which further development (but no housing) has been anticipated. Given that its proximity to a fire station, the small size of the project, and the availability of hazardous materials teams from other cities, the City would not be expected to need additional or expanded facilities as a result of the project. The impact would be considered less than significant. a.ii) Less than Significant. The West Covina Police Department (WCPD) provides police protection services in the City of West Covina. The mission of WCPD is "to provide the highest level of service and protection to the community and to cooperatively enhance public safety as the Department progresses into the future" (City of West Covina, 2010). In 2009, WCPD had an authorized full-time workforce of 119 sworn officers and 71 civilians. WCPD also has approximately 55 part-time staff, including crossing guards, reserve officers and administrative staff. WCPD staffs three divisions: Patrol, Administrative and Investigative. The WCPD Police Station is located at 1444 W. Garvey Avenue, approximately two miles from the project site. The project site is located in Service Area 4, which is the same service area in which the police station is located. Crimes associated with the proposed project would be anticipated to be primarily theft related. (Theft -related crimes form the largest number of crimes in West Covina in 2006, and which were slightly ahead of the national rate for theft -related crimes.) Overall, except for theft -related crimes, crime rates in West Covina were (in 2006) lower than national rates and lower than, for example, nearby cities such as Downey. The proposed project, because of its size and the type of proposed development, would not be anticipated to result in the need to expand police station facilities or to build new facilities that would in turn result in a significant environmental impact. The proposed project would therefore have a less than significant impact on police protection services. a.iii) Less than Significant. The proposed project is a commercial development that would result in no more than 10 or l 1 staff persons at the project site at one time during project operations during the day. With a short construction period, construction employees would be expected to live in the region, as would employees after the facility opened. The children of employees and construction workers would continue to occupy their existing residences, and the project would not include housing. The project would therefore not result in a significant impact on schools or require expanded or new school facilities. a.iv) Less than Significant. The project site is adjacent to a park. Because the project would only employ less than ten employees and because employees would be likely to already live in the project region, employees would be more likely to use recreational facilities near their place of residence. The proposed project would not result in need to expand or build new recreational facilities and potential impacts to recreational facilities would be less than significant.

The proposed project would not result in sufficient numbers of employees to would use other public facilities in the City of West Covina, such as libraries, and other services such that those services would require new or expanded facilities.

Discussion No Impact This section is based primarily on the Azusa-Giambi Lane Gas Station Ti=af is h��pact Analysis (TIA), prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (June 2010), attached as Appendix 2 to this IS. Traffic studies were completed as part of the BKK Landfill EIR, the Big League Dreams SEIR and the West Covina Office Center SE1R. Construction of the Big League Dreams facility has been completed, and facilities analyzed by the BKK Landfill EIR have also been completed. The Kimley-Horn TIA therefore focuses on existing conditions and the project's relationship to other currently anticipated projects. Measures from the previous studies Have been completed or no longer apply to this project. a) Less than Significant. Level of Service Level of services (LOS) is a professional industry standard by which the operating conditions of a given intersection are measured. LOS is defined on a scale of A to F for which LOS A represents the best operating conditions and LOS F represents the worst Triple A Pad Project 69 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 operation conditions. LOS F facilities are characterized as having forced flow with many stoppages and low operating speeds. To determine intersection LOS, the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology was used. The ICU method compares the amount of traffic an intersection is able to process (capacity) to the level of traffic during peak hours (volume). The volume -to -capacity (V/C) ratio is used to determine at which LOS the intersection is operating. This calculation assumes an intersection capacity of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane (vphpl) and includes a loss factor of 0.10 (10 percent) to account for the yellow light clearance interval. Table 16-1 provides LOS definitions for signalized intersections. TABLE 16-1 LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS FOR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS Level of Service Volume to Capacity (LOS) Ratio (V/C Ratio) Definition A 0.000 to 0.600 EXCELLENT. No vehicle waits longer than one red light and no approach phase is fully used. B 0.601 to 0`.700 VERY GOOD. An occasional approach phase is fully utilized; many drivers begin to feel somewhat restricted within groups of vehicles. C 0.701 to 0:800 GOOD. Occasionally drivers may have to wait through more than one red light; backups may develop behind turning vehicles. D 0.801 to 0.900 FAIR. Delays may be substantial during portions of the rush hours, but enough lower volume periods occur to permit clearing of developing lines, preventing excessive backups. E 0.901 to 1.000 POOR. Represents the most vehicles intersection approaches can accommodate; may be long line of waiting vehicles through several signal cycles. F Exceeds 1.000 FAILURE. Backups from nearby locations or on cross streets may restrict or prevent movement of vehicles out of the intersection approaches. Tremendous delays with continuously increasing queue length. SOURCE: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., 2010. LOS D is typically considered the minimum desirable LOS for this area of the City in which the project site is located (Kimley-Horn and Associates, 2010). Existing Traffic Operations LOS analysis was conducted at three study area intersections using the traffic counts for the weekday peak hours (7:00 to 9:00 AM) and 4:00 to 6:00 PM) in March 2010 and additional existing weekday peak hour traffic counts were obtained for the intersection of South Azusa Avenue and Amar Road. These counts were used to calculate the existing LOS. Table 16-2 presents the existing peak hour-V/C ratio and the corresponding LOS for each intersection. i I f7 Triple A Pad Project 70 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 , TABLE 16-2 EXISTING (2010) INTERSECTION LOS LOS Analysis Results AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour v/C WC Intersection Ratio LOS Ratio LOS 1.

However, only two of the three intersections operate at LOS D or better for the PM peak hour. The intersection of South Azusa Avenue and Amar Road operates at, LOS E for the P.M peak hour. Figure 5 shows existing (2010) weekday peak hour turning movements in the TIA study area. Cumulative Base (2012) Conditions The Cumulative Base traffic scenario consists of the future condition of the project area without project traffic. Intersection traffic volumes are estimated by adding ambient traffic growth (one percent per year to 2012) and traffic from cumulative projects — those projects that are approved and pending but not yet constructed and open) — to existing conditions. Between 2010 and 2012, improvements for the intersection of South Azusa Avenue and Amar Road are planned that will add turn and through lanes to intersection approaches. These were not, however, assumed to be in place by the 2012. Cumulative Base peak hour volumes are provided in Table 16-3, below. Table 16-3 indicates that all three intersections would operate at'LOS D or better for the AM peak hour. However, only two of the three intersections would operate at LOS D or better for the PM peak hour. The intersection of South Azusa Avenue and Amar Road would operate at LOS E for the PM peak hour.

Although the intersection of South Azusa Avenue and Amar Road would operate at LOS E for the PM peak hour, the V/C ratio would actually improve under the Cumulative Plus Project scenario. West Covina General Plan The West Covina General Plan Circulation Element (City of West Covina, as amended to 1995) contains goals and polices "designed to provide a balanced circulation system for the City of West Covina. Applicable goals and policies include the following: Goals • Provide a comprehensive transportation system for the movement of people and goods within and through the City in a manner that maximizes efficiency and convenience, while minimizing danger and delay. • Provide protection to neighborhoods from harmful and unnecessary vehicular traffic. Policies • Master planned streets and highways should be upgraded to physically accommodate increased traffic and to improve the environmental quality of the community by beautification of these corridors. The proposed project is located along one of the most heavily used streets in West Covina and provides services from a location that would serve those in the neighborhood, without being located within a residential area. The proposed project would reduce the need to travel greater distances to seek the services proposed as part of the project. The proposed project would not conflict with the General Plan Circulation Element and no mitigation measures are required. b) Less than Significant. The Congestion Management Program (CMP) was created statewide as a result of Proposition 111, and is currently being implemented locally in Los Angeles County by the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). The CMP requires that the traffic impact of individual development projects of potential regional significance be analyzed to quantify potential impacts on the CMP freeway monitoring locations and CMP arterial intersection monitoring stations. The CMP TIA guidelines require that if a proposed project would add 150 or more trips in either direction during the morning or evening peak hours to the mainline freeway monitoring location then a CMP freeway analysis must be conducted. The CMP freeway monitoring stations closest to the project site are on I-10, approximately three miles from the project site. South Azusa Avenue is a CMP arterial, Triple A Pad Project 76 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 'J with monitoring stations at Amar Road, Cameron Avenue and Workman Avenue. The proposed project would add fewer than 150 peak hour trips to the I-10 and to South Azusa Avenue (Kimley-Horn and Associates, 2010; see page 12 of the TIA attached as Appendix 2 to this IS). The proposed project would generate a total of 141 AM peak hour trips and 123 PM peak hour trips to the roadway local network all of which would travel along Azusa Avenue and only some of which would travel along the I-10.8 Because the project would add fewer than 150 peak hour trips to the I-1 0 and South Azusa Avenue, the proposed project would not require a separate CMP analysis and the impact would be less than significant. In addition, under the CMP TIA requirements, a project impact would be considered to be significant if the proposed project increases traffic demand on a CMP facility by two percent of capacity (V/C is greater or equal to 0.02), causing or worsening LOS F (V/C is greater than 1.00). A project would not be considered to have a regionally significant impact if the analyzed facility is operating at LOS E or better after the addition of project traffic regardless of the increase in the V/C ratio caused by the project. The proposed project would add fewer than 150 peak hour trips to any freeway or to the South Azusa Avenue / Amar Road intersection, which is a CMP arterial monitoring intersection. No significant CMP impacts were identified (Kimley-Horn and Associates; see page 18, attached as Appendix 2-to this IS). Under CMP criteria, the proposed project would result in a less than significant impact to local freeways and roadways. c) Less than Significant. The proposed project would result in an increase in traffic along South Azusa Avenue. This increase would not be considered significant under CEQA. As a part of the project three driveways would provide access to the site — two right-in/right- out driveways from South Azusa Avenue and one from Giambi Lane. The TIA for the proposed project (see Appendix 2) recommends that because of the proximity of the existing traffic signal at the intersection of Giambi Lane and South Azusa Avenue, a twelve -foot deceleration lane would be added to the driveways along South Azusa Avenue so that vehicles entering and existing from the site could do so safely. This deceleration lane is part of the project and would be added by the project applicant. As a result, potential impacts would be less than significant. d) Less than Significant. See discussion under c), above. Access to the site is not subject to any existing hazards, nor would it create hazards because of its use. It is possible that a hazard could be created along South Azusa Avenue as a result of the two driveways from Azusa Avenue to the project site, which as in close proximity to the existing traffic signal at Giambi Lane and South Azusa Avenue. A 12-foot deceleration lane would be added to the driveways along South Azusa Avenue so that vehicles entering and existing from the 8 These numbers include "pass -by" trips during peak commute hours, which reduce the number of trips and assume that many customers would combine trips — to buy fuel anal to buy fast food, or to buy fast food and use the car wash, etc. Triple A Pad Project - 77 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 site could do so safely. The deceleration lane is part of the project and would be added by the project applicant. As a result, potential impacts would be less than significant. e) Less than Significant. The proposed project would be accessible from both Giambi Lane and South Azusa Avenue. In addition, the project site would include an undeveloped "clear zone" buffers along its northern and western perimeters that would allow foot access to areas adjacent to the site. In addition, an existing fire hydrant would remain on the site. WCFD would review the proposed site plans as part of the review process. As a result, the proposed project would result in a less than significant impact to access to the project site for emergency vehicles and/or emergency personnel. Less than Significant. Although designed primarily for motor vehicles in the neighborhood, including vehicles using the shopping center to the south and the sports complex to the east, the site would be accessible by pedestrians via sidewalks along South Azusa Avenue. In addition, the site is served by transit, including Foothill Transit Line 178 (along Amar Road with stops at South Azusa Avenue); Foothill Transit Line 280 (along Azusa Avenue, including stops at Amar Road); and Foothill Transit Line 486 (Amar Road, with stops at Azusa Avenue). The project would have a less than significant conflict with policies regarding public transit,.bicycle, or pedestrian facilities.

Discussion / r a) -Less than Significant Impact. During the City's design review process, the project applicant would be required to demonstrate that wastewater from the proposed project would conform to wastewater treatment requirements of the LA RWQCB. b) The project site would be served by Suburban Water Systems, a subsidiary of Southwest Water Company, which serves a population of approximately 300,000 over a 41-square- mile area that includes unincorporated communities in Los Angeles County and in Orange County, as well as portions of the cities of Covina, West Covina, Baldwin Park, Whittier, City of Industry, and Glendora. Southwest Water Company, is headquartered in Los Angeles and also operates water and wastewater facilities. Water from Suburban Water Systems comes primarily (approximately 80 percent) from company -owned wells in the Main San Gabriel and Central Basins. The remaining water (approximately 20 percent) is purchased from several wholesale agencies, including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Suburban Water Systems currently estimates that it produces approximately 52,696 acre feet of water per year, with the use of 14 wells, 116 booster pumps, 31 reservoirs, and over 800 miles of pipeline (Suburban Water Systems, 2007). 1 Triple A Pad Project 79 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 MWD provides water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River and currently receives 60 percent of its water or about 1.1 million acre-feet per year from the State Water Project9 and it receives approximately 636,000 acre-feet per year from its Colorado River allotment. The project is within the footprint of water and wastewater treatment analyzed in the BKK Landfill, as well as more recently in the West Covina Office Buildings Supplemental EIR (2006).10 Sufficient water supplies were available in 2006 to provide service to approximately 400,000 square feet of office space. As a much smaller development, the proposed project would be adequately supplied by South West Water Company. In addition, the proposed project would recycle some of its water for use in the car wash. Existing connections are located adjacent to the project site within and adjacent to the project site. These connections serve the adjacent shopping center (south) and ball fields (east). Some street trenching and on -site trenching would be required for the project, however, the service provider would not require new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, theconstruction of which could cause significant environmental effects. The project would have a less than significant impact on existing facilities. c) The. proposed project would require trenching to connect to existing storm drain facilities adjacent to the project site (see;b) above). This trenching has been anticipated to accommodate future development at the project site. Trenching would occur on the project site and/or within existing street rights -of -way, and would result in a less than significant impact on the environment. d) See response to b), above. e) The proposed project is within the footprint of development analyzed in the Big League Dreams SEIR, as well as the West Covina Office Center SEIR, for which no significant impact was identified for wastewater treatment. As a result, the project would result in a less than significant impact wastewater treatment, and would be within existing capacity n The proposed project is within the footprint of development already analyzed by the Big League Dreams SEIR (2003), as well as the West Covina Office Center SEIR (2007). In addition, the City would require that the project provide adequate recycling facilities. As a result, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact on existing landfills used by solid waste providers in West Covina. g) AB 939 emphasizes conservation of natural resources through reduction, recycling, and reuse of solid waste, and requires that all cities and counties divert 25 percent of solid waste stream from landfills by'19.95 and 50 percent by 2000. It also requires that all cities conduct a Solid Waste Generation Study and prepare a Source Reduction and Recycling 9 This allotment is based on average precipitation in the Sacramento River hydrologic region in Northern California. 10 The office buildings, proposed for the north side of the BKK Landfill, were never built. Triple A Pad Project 80 - ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 u Element (SRRE). In accordance with AB 939, local agencies must submit an annual report to the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) summarizing its progress in diverting solid waste disposal. SB 1374, passed in 2002, requires that the annual report submitted to CIWMB also include a summary of the progress made in diversion of construction and demolition waste materials. In addition, SB 1374 requires CIWMB to adopt a model ordinance suitable for adoption by a local agency to require 50 to 75 percent diversion of construction and demolition waste materials to landfills. Local agencies are required to adopt construction and demolition diversion ordinances with diversion rates in accordance with SB 1374. Athens Services provides waste hauling services to residents and businesses located in West Covina. Athens sends solid waste to a materials recovery facility (MRF) where recyclables are retrieved from the solid waste stream. Athens also provides bins and bulky item pick-up. In 2003, the City's diversion rate was approximately 58 percent and in 2006, the City's diversion rate was approximately 53 percent. The proposed project would include a secured garbage and recycling area. The project would be required to conform. to the City's recycling requirement and therefore would comply with all federal, state and local regulations related to solid. waste.

Findings of Significance Less Than Significant Potentially with Less Than Significant Mitigation Significant Issues (and Supporting Information Sources): Impact Incorporation Impact No Impact 18. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF. SIGNIFICANCE — Would the project:; a) Have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a pi oject are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? Discussion al Tijc proposed project does not, have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment substantially, nor to substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species. The project would be required to implement Mitigation Measure BI0-1, to reduce potential impacts to nesting California gnatcatcher, if found on or near the project site between the end of February and the end of May. b) The proposed project would not result in cumulatively considerable impacts. The project is within the footprint of the area analyzed by the Big League Dreams SEIR and the BKK Landfill EIR. The project would result in no future (as defined by approved projects or projects under consideration) cumulative traffic impacts nor would it result in cumulative air quality or greenhouse gas emissions impacts. c) The proposed project would result in no significant and unavoidable impacts. All potentially significant impacts can be mitigated. As a result, the project would cause no substantially adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly. Triple A Pad Project 82 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration - August 2010 Applicable Mitigation Measures from the BKK Landfill EIR Aesthetics The BKK Technology Center Specific Plan and Landfill and Public Golf Course Specific Plan include the following measures that would reduce the significance of this impact: • Lighting of all building elements shall be soft, minimal, and indirect if possible. • Landscape lighting shall be held to a minimum. • Parking Lot lighting shall be confined within the site boundaries. • Pedestrian ways connecting buildings and parking areas will be lighted to minimum safety standards with point-to-point, rather than uniform, coverage. Geology, Soils and Seismicity The applicant shall implement the following FCP and FPCMP measures that would reduce the Isignificance of this impact: • Construction of slopes in accordance with the factor of safety analysis in the FCP. • In accordance with the FPCMP, a series of measures to inspect and maintain the final cover �. shall occur after each seismic event. If slope failure is detected, the area in question shall be closed off to prevent damage to equipment or harm to individuals.

Soil moisture monitoring data shall be used to adjust irrigation schedules in order to avoid. overwatering and deep percolation. The barrier layer of the final cover will also prevent or reduce deep percolation under greens and bunkers. Triple A Pad Project 84 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 Noise Implementation of approved mitigation measures required by the BKK Landfill EIR would reduce impacts to less than significant. These measures are already required: • The project shall comply with the City of West Covina Noise Ordinance No. 1826 (West Covina Code Section I5-95), which regulates noise from construction and building projects. • Construction shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 am to'6:00 pm, Mondays through Fridays and between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm on Saturdays; no construction activities shall be conducted on Sundays or legal .holidays. • The project contractor shall use power construction equipment with approved/permitted noise shielding and muffling devices. • Temporary noise barriers, such as wooden barrier walls, mufflers, and noise attenuating devices shall be employed as necessary to reduce noise generated during.construction. Tnple A Pad Project Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration Bei ESA / D210226 August 2010 New Mitigation Measures Required by this Initial Study. / Mitigated Negative Declaration Biological Resources Mitigation Measure BIO-1: Construction of the proposed project should begin prior to or after the nesting season (end of February through May) to prevent any loss of individuals, nests or young that may move onto the site between the time of the last nesting survey and construction. If construction cannot be delayed until after the nesting season, pre -construction surveys within the construction zone shall.be conducted by a qualified biologist. If no animals are detected . during these surveys, then construction -related activities would proceed. If adult special -status animals are found within the construction disturbance zone, the project shall stop and notification of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall occur immediately. Construction would not resume until two weeks after the young have fledged. Cultural Resources Mitigation Measure CUL-1: Cease Work if Subsurface Cultural Resources are Discovered During Ground -Disturbing Activities. If a cultural resource is encountered, all activity in the vicinity of the find shall cease until it can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist, defined as one meeting the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards for archaeology. If the find is determined to be potentially significant, the archaeologist, in consultation with the lead agency and appropriate Native American group(s) (if the find is a prehistoric or Native American resource), shall develop a treatment plan. All work in the immediate vicinity of the unanticipated discovery shall cease until the qualified archaeologist has evaluated the discovery, or the treatment .plan has been implemented. Mitigation Measure CUL-2: Prior to the issuance of grading permits a qualified paleontologist shall be retained and approved by the lead agency to monitor all ground -disturbing activity. The duration and timing of monitoring shall be determined by the qualified paleontologist in consultation with the lead agency and based on the grading plans. Initially, all ground -disturbing activities shall be monitored. However, if, during the course of monitoring, the paleontologist can demonstrate that the level of monitoring should be reduced, the paleontologist, in consultation with the .lead agency, may adjust the level of monitoring to circumstances as warranted. If a potentially significant fossil is found, the paleontologist shall be allowed to temporarily divert or redirect grading and excavation activities in the area of the exposedfossil to facilitate evaluation and, if necessary, salvage. Any fossils encountered and recovered shall be catalogued and donated to a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Accompanying notes, maps, and photographs shall also be filed at the repository. Following the completion of the above tasks, the paleontologist shall prepare a report documenting the absence or discovery of fossil resources on -site. If fossils are found, the report Triple A Pad Project 86 ESA / D210226 Initial Study Checklist / Mitigated Negative Declaration August 2010 Ll shall summarize the results of the inspection program, identify those fossils encountered, recovery and curation efforts, and the methods used in these efforts, as well as describe the fossils collected and their significance. A copy of the report shall be provided to the County and to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Mitigation Measure CUL-3: Halt Work if Human Skeletal Remains are., Identified During Construction. If human remains are encountered during construction excavation and grading activities, State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 requires that no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner has 24 hours to notify the Native American Heritage Commission. The NAHC will then identify the person(s) thought to be the Most Likely Descendent of the deceased Native American, who will then help determine what course of action should be taken in dealing with the remains. Per PRC section 5097.98, the landowner shall ensure that the immediate vicinity, according to generally accepted cultural or archaeological standards or practices, where the Native American human remains are located, is not damaged or disturbed by further development activity until the landowner has discussed and conferred, as prescribed in this section(PRC 5097.98), with the most likely descendents regarding their recommendations, if applicable, taking into account the possibility of multiple human remains. Geology, Soils and Seismicity Mitigation Measure GEO-1: The project applicant shall implement the following measure: • The project applicant shall conduct a project specific geotechnical investigation and incorporate into project design relevant specifications from the previous geotechnical investigation for the BKK Landfill closure as well as new specifications resulting from the project specific investigation.

The proposed project is located adjacent to and west of the Big League Dreams that is part of the West Covina Sportsplex site. The West Covina Sportsplex site has been the subject of various traffic studies in the past 10 years that evaluated the potential traffic impacts from development of Big League Dreams, commercial center (including Shopping Center and Home Improvement store), an 18-hole golf course, a driving range, medical office, and general office uses. The proposed retail development was not part of the previous traffic impacts evaluation. The proposed project will be constructed and operational in 2012. The analysis supports the following conclusions and recommendations: • The project consists of a gas station with a food mart, related office space and 6 fueling stations, an automated carwash, a fast food restaurant with drive-thru, and a fast food without a drive- thru - totaling approximately 9,000 square feet at the corner of South Azusa and Giambi Lane (formerly the BKK Landfill Access Road). The site is proposed to include 30 parking spaces, including 2 disability spaces. The site requires only 29 parking spaces based upon the City's ' code requirement. • Access to the site is proposed via two driveways on Azusa Avehue,with right turn in and right 1 turn out access only, and one driveway on Giambi Lane with full access. • Bus stops are located south of the site near the Amar Road intersection, between X and % mile. from the site. The area is well -served by Foothill Transit routes. • The project is estimated to generate approximately 156 new trips in the am peak hour, 137 new trips in the hour pm peak and 1,828 daily trips. These numbers represent a reduction from "pass -by" trips during the peak commute hours, because the proposed development includes mixed use retail and a fast-food restaurant. • Three intersections along South Azusa Avenue were analyzed as part of this traffic impact analysis. • The project is not anticipated to result in any significant weekday peak hour traffic impacts. • Site plan modifications are suggested to improve access and on -site circulation. Twelve foot wide deceleration lanes and acceleration lanes are being proposed at the driveways so that turning vehicles into and out of,the site would not conflict with northbound through traffic on South Azusa Avenue. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The 2102 South Azusa Avenue site proposed for development is approximately 2 acres and is part of the larger redevelopment of the old 583-acre BKK Landfill site. The City owns approximately 230-acres of the old landfill. The 2-acre site is currently vacant and is located approximately 1/2 mile north of Amar Road. Residential areas are located to the north, southeast and west. Redevelopment projects that ' have been constructed on the BKK site include the West Covina Sportsplex, The Heights retail Azusa-Giambi Lane Gas Station 1 June 10, 2010 Revised Traffic Impact Analysis development and office buildings. A golf course and additional restaurants are planned for other portions of the site. The proposed retail development was not part of the previous traffic impacts evaluation. The proposed project will be constructed and operational in 2012. Figure 1 illustrates the Project Study Area and location of the study intersections. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed Site;Plan. STUDY METHODOLOGY Traffic operating conditions were analyzed under the following three scenarios. 1. Existing (2010) Conditions . 2. Cumulative Base (2012) Conditions 3. Project (2012) Conditions STUDY AREA I The study area intersections included in the analysis were identified in consultation with City of West Covina staff. Weekday peak hour operations of the three intersections listed below are analyzed in this , report. 1. South Azusa Ave/Giambi Lane ' 2. South Azusa Ave/East Francisquito Ave 3. South Azusa Ave/Amar Rd Existing. conditions were analyzed using new peak hour count data collected during a weekday in March 2010. The Cumulative Base (2012) Conditions include existing traffic volumes plus background growth in those volumes. The existing volumes were increased by 1% each year to account for ambient growth, and by an additional 1% each year to account for traffic that could be generated from other development projects in the area that are not yet constructed. The Project (2012) Conditions include the addition of project -generated traffic to the Cumulative Base Conditions. Figure 3 illustrates the existing and future lane configurations at each study intersection approach. INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SERVICE METHODOLOGY In accordance with the City of West Covina practices, the intersection level of service (LOS) was calculated using the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) methodology for signalized intersections. LOS is a qualitative measure of traffic flow ranging from nearly free -flow at LOS A to overloaded stop -and go conditions at LOS F. LOS D is typically considered the minimum desirable LOS for this area of the City. The ICU method compares existing or future projected traffic volumes at an intersection to the capacity of the intersection to produce a volume -to -capacity (V/C) ratio, which in turn determines LOS. This calculation assumes an intersection capacity of 1,600 vehicles per hour per lane (vphpl) and includes a loss factor of 0.10 (10%) to account for the yellow clearance interval. Table 1 provides LOS definitions for signalized intersections.

EXISTING (2010) CONDITIONS An evaluation of the existing transportation operating conditions in the study area is presented in the following pages. The evaluation includes a,description of the adjacent roadway system, existing volumes on these facilities, operating conditions of the study intersections, and public transit service near the site. EXISTING STREET SYSTEM The project site is located along the west side of South Azusa Avenue, approximately 112 —mile north of Amar Road. The site is bound on the north by the Field of Dreams development, on. the west by South Azusa Avenue and on the south by the Giambi Lane. The key roadways in the vicinity of the site are described below. Azusa-Giambilane Gas Station 6 June 10, 2010 Revised Traffic Impact Analysis 1 San Bernardino Freeway (1-10) — is located approximately 2 miles north of the site and provides regional access to Los Angeles to the west and San Bernardino (the Inland Empire) to the east. The freeway provides four travel lanes in each direction through West Covina. Full -service ramps are provided at South Azusa Avenue. The.two-way annual average daily traffic (AADT) volume on the San Bernardino ,Freeway at this location is approximately 250,000 vehicles per day (vpd). South Azusa Avenue — is a north -south primary arterial with six lanes (3 in, each direction) adjacent to the site. Some of the sections of this roadway between 1-10 and the southern City boundary include 4 and 5-lane cross -sections. The section adjacent to the site does not allow parking and is divided by a raised, landscaped median. The South Francisquito, Giambi Lane; The Heights roadway and Amar.Road intersections are signalized. The Azusa/Amar intersection is planned for reconstruction within the next 2 years to allow for additional turn and thru lanes, as part of the development of the BKK site. The future year intersection operations analyses considers the Amar Road intersection improvements to be in -place.. Giambi Lane — is a site roadway that provides access to the West Covina Sportplex .and other site developments. The roadway provides for one travel lane to enter into the development and two turn lanes to exit the development. The roadway currently narrows to a two-lane facility approximately 1,000 feet into the development. East Francisquito Avenue — is an east -west residential collector roadway with one lane in each direction. Parking is allowed on both sides of the roadway — with some restrictions. Truck traffic is prohibited. East Francisquito exists between South Azusa Avenue on the east and South Glendora Avenue on the west. The North Lark Ellen Avenue, Valinda Avenue and South Glendora Avenue intersections are signalized. . EXISTING PUBLIC TRANSIT SERVICE The site is well served by bus transit lines operated by Foothill transit. Bus stops are located south of the site on all four corners of the Azusa/Amar intersection. The transit routes serving the project area are described below. Foothill Transit Line 178 — connects the Puente Hills Mall south of SR 60 with the El Monte Station. The route runs along Amar Road between Shadow Oak and Valinda Avenue near the site, with stops at South Azusa Avenue. The route operates on 30-minute weekday headways. Foothill Transit Line 280 — runs north/south along Azusa Avenue from the Puente Hills Mall south of SR 60 to East Sierra Madre Avenue, north of 1-210. Stops exist along the route including at Amar Road. The route operates on 20-minute weekday headways. . Foothill Transit Line 486 -'co ' nnects the El Monte Station with Cal Poly Pomona via Amar Road and 1-10. . The route operates on 15-mnute weekday headways with stops at Azusa/Amar.

These counts were used to calculate the existing LOS. Traffic count worksheets are provided.in Appendix.A. Figure 4 illustrates the existing a.m..and p.m. peak hour traffic volumes at each of the study intersections. Table 2 presents the existing peak hour V/C ratio and the corresponding LOS for each intersection. TABLE 2 - EXISTING (2010) INTERSECTION LOS.

Analysis worksheets for the Existing Conditions,scenario are provided.in Appendix B. CUMULATIVE BASE (2012) CONDITIONS The Cumulative Base traffic conditions represent future conditions of the study area without project traffic. The cumulative base intersection traffic volumes were estimated by adding ambient traffic growth and traffic expected from cumulative (approved and pending but not yet constructed and open) projects to the existing conditions. AMBIENT GROWTH Regional ambient.traffic growth was estimated as an annual percentage increase over the existing traffic volumes. A growth rate of 1% per year was applied to the peak hour traffic volumes to represent year. 2010. While. this rate is slightly'higher than the annual growth rate of 0.82% indentified in Congestion Management Program for Los Angeles County (CMP) (Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, 2004), it was used to provide for a more a conservative analysis of future traffic conditions.

FUTURE BASELINE STREET IMPROVEMENTS The intersections of South Azusa Avenue and Amar Road is planned for improvement within the study timeframe (2012). The improvements will add turn and through lanes at the intersection approaches. However, these improvements were not assumed to be in place for the future analysis of this intersection to represent a conservative scenario. CUMULATIVE BASE (2012) CONDITIONS LOS The Cumulative Base (2012)-traffic represents the sum of existing volumes, ambient growth and the traffic estimated from.cumulative projects. These volumes were assigned to the future baseline network that will be in place at the time the project is completed.

Table 4 indicates that the proposed project is estimated to generate approximately 141 new trips in the weekday AM peak hour, 123 new trips in the weekday PM peak hour, and 1,828 daily trips. ITE , recommends deducting trips that would "pass -by" the site. The "fast food with drive-thru" receives a pass -by discount, based upon ITE calculations. An internal capture reduction of 10% was included in the trip generation calculations to account for the multiple land uses proposed on the project site. Cumulative with Project (2012) traffic conditions add the estimated project traffic to the cumulative base conditions and are used to evaluate the net change in the traffic conditions and to identify potential traffic impacts associated with the proposed project. Development of future traffic forecasts Azusa-Giambi lane Gas Station 12 June 10, 2010 Revised Traffic Impact Analysis l� 1 for the proposed project used a three -step process that estimated the project's trip. generation, trip distribution and traffic assignment. PROJECT TRIP. DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT; The distribution of project traffic was developed based" upon local knowledge of the study area, experience with other traffic studies at the BKK site and input from City. Project traffic was assigned to the site driveways, the study area roadway network and study intersections. Figure 6 illustrates the project trip distribution and Figure 7 illustrates the project peak hour volumes at study intersections.

Table 6 indicates that the addition of project traffic would not result in any significant impacts at any of the study area intersections. CMP ANALYSIS Additional analyses were conducted to comply with the requirements of the Los Angeles County Congestion Management program (CMP). In accordance with CMP Transportation impact Analysis (TIA) requirements, it is necessary to conduct a. regional analysis to quantify potential impacts of the proposed project on the CMP freeway monitoring locations and CMP arterial intersection monitoring stations, and to prepare cost estimates and estimated' fair share contributions for any suggested improvements at CMP arterial intersections. CMP SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACT CRITERIA The CMP TIA guidelines indicate that if a proposed development project would add 150 or more trips in Azusa-Giambi Lane Gas Station Revised Traffic Impact Analysis 17 June 10, 2010 either direction during either the morning or evening peak hours to the mainline freeway monitoring location, then a CMP freeway analysis must be conducted. If a proposed project would add 50 or more peak hour trips (during the peak hour of adjacent street traffic) to a CMP arterial intersection, then a CMP arterial intersection analysis must be conducted. The CMP freeway monitoring stations closest to the project site are on 1-10, approximately three miles from the project site. South Azusa Avenue is a CMP arterial, with monitoring stations at Amar Road (1/2-mile south of the site), Cameron Avenue (1 miles north of the site) and Workman Avenue (2 % miles north of the site). The proposed project would add fewer than 150 peak hourtrips to 1-10 and to South Azusa Avenue. Therefore, a separate CMP freeway/arterial analysis is not required. CMP ARTERIAL INTERSECTION ANALYSIS For the purpose of a CMP TIA, a, project impact is considered to be significant if the proposed project increases traffic demand on a CMP. facility by 2% of capacity (V/C _> 0.02), causing or worsening LOS F (V/C > 1.00). Under this criterion, a project would not be considered to have a regionally significant impact if the analyzed facility is operating at LOS E or better after the addition of project traffic regardless of the increase in V/C ratio caused by the project. If the facility is operation at LOS F with project traffic and the incremental change in V/C ratio cause by the project is 0.02 or greater, then the project would be considered to have a significant impact. According to the project trip generation and trip distribution estimates, the proposed project would add fewer than 150 'peak hour trips to any freeway and more than 50 peak hour trips to the South Azusa Avenue/Amar Road intersection, which' is a CMP arterial monitoring intersection. The analysis methodology utilized in this traffic impact analysis at the intersection of South Azusa Avenue/Amar Road intersection is consistent with the CMP arterial intersection analysis methodology. Therefore, separate arterial intersection analyses are not required and no significant CMP impacts were identified. SITE ACCESS AND PARKING The proposed site plan was reviewed to assess the adequacy of site access, the number of and layout of the parking spaces and on -site circulation for vehicles and pedestrians. The following paragraphs provide a description of each site element and suggested site design modifications that are not required. ACCESS The proposed project would take access from two right -in, right -out driveways located along South Vincent Avenue, north of Giambi Lane. Twelve foot wide deceleration lanes and acceleration lanes are being proposed at the driveways so that turning vehicles into and out of the site would not conflict with northbound through traffic on South Azusa Avenue. No U-Turns should be allowed for southbound traffic on South Azusa Avenue at Giambi Lane, in order to minimize vehicular turn conflicts — for vehicles attempting to access the proposed development. Southbound vehicles should be required -to make a left -turn onto Giambi Lane to access the project. Azusa-Giambi Lane Gas Station Revised Traffic Impact Analysis 18 June 10, 2010 t. 1 PARKING The site is proposed to include 30 parking spaces, including 2 disabled spaces. The site requires 29 parking spaces based upon the City's code requirement (Chapter 26, Article X, Div. 3, Sec. 26-581). The proposed parking accommodates and exceeds the anticipated demand. CONCLUSIONS Based upon the analysis documented in this report, the following conclusions are made. The project consists of a gas station with a food mart, related office space and 6 fueling stations, an automated carwash, a fast food restaurant with drive-thru, and a fast food without a drive- thru - totaling approximately 9,000 square feet at the corner of South Azusa and Giambi Lane (formerly the BKK Landfill Access Road). The site is proposed to include 30 parking spaces, I including 2 disability spaces. The site requires only 29 parking spaces based upon the City's code requirement. • Access to the site is proposed via two driveways on Azusa Avenue with right turn in and right turn out access only, and one driveway on Giambi Lane with full access. • Bus stops are located south of the site near the Amar Road intersection, between % and %2 mile from the site. The area is well -served by Foothill Transit routes. • The project is estimated to generate approximately 156 new trips in the am peak hour, 137 new trips in the pm peak hour and 1,828 daily trips. These numbers represent a reduction from "pass -by" trips during the peak commute hours, because the proposed development includes mixed use retail and a fast-food restaurant. • Three intersections along South Azusa Avenue were analyzed as part of this traffic impact analysis. • The project is not anticipated to result in any significant weekday peak hour traffic impacts. • Site plan modifications are suggested to improve access and on -site circulation. Twelve foot wide deceleration lanes and acceleration lanes are being proposed at the driveways so that turning vehicles into and out of the site would not conflict with northbound through traffic on South Azusa Avenue. 1 Azusa-Giambi Lane Gas Station Revised Traffic Impact Analysis 19 June 10, 2010 i t 1 1 1 1 APPENDIX A Traffic Count Worksheets Azuza-Giambi Lane Gas Station Revised Traffic Impact Analysis June 10, 2010 1 INTERSECTION TURNING MOVEMENT COUNT -SUMMARY CLIENT: KIMLEY - HORN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
